Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Finish surveillance of the waters at sunset and return to Ianos. After dinner, he decided to head to the Piazza del Ianos and exchange the martial officers of Grantios to start training and more quickly.

The martial officers who are to be given spears and the water guards. There is no doubt that the martial arts officers are skilled.

"Okay, I'm coming."

Condensed magic unfolds from Uroboros and changes its shape.

"This is..."

Queen Eldraine turned her eyes round to the sight.

What emerged was a blue-white, brilliant magic doll connected to Uroboros by wire from the neck. Although it is a puppet only while under direct control, it would be possible to make more nuanced movements than the golem for that matter.

"I thought I'd have a mock fight with this. I think the movement of the captive king's family can be reproduced to a certain extent within my sight."

The martial arts officers and water guards gave a startling look as they swimmed the magic doll imitating the movement of the scythe man. But eventually there's a grin in the mouth of the martial arts officers.

You're looking forward to your upcoming training, this. Apparently, the warlords' will is very high.

I couldn't imagine what it would be like as a training opponent because of the magic doll, but I'm actually happy that moving it like this is going to thicken the content of the training.

I hear the half-fishers are brave warriors, but as far as this reaction goes, the information seems certain.

"First... let's go in action format, not one-on-one. I think there's enough weapons for training."

"From my estimate of the difference in abilities."

"Yes, first of all, as decided at the Ops meeting. So"

Nodding at Weltes' words.

First, we measure the battle ratio between the martial officers of the half-fish men and the family of the king of the sea. It is only then that each of them will conduct a simulated battle to think about countermeasures.

I'm not saying that there's a difference in physical ability than weapons are now working, but I'm not saying that there's no winning chance one-on-one.

If you can win with skill, tactics, and drive, and pierce your defenses, you will always have winning eyes. But I've never been able to avoid human losses. Training ensures that the eyes of defeat are reduced as much as possible.

Now. Let's say that we will also train against water magic in parallel.

Create Aqua Golems, some colored with earthly magic, some left transparent. Colored golems avant-garde. In training with a transparent golem as a rear guard and a colored golem, a transparent golem emits a water bomb from the rear.

When shooting, allow the avant-garde to operate sparingly, or make it predictable that some ranged attack will fly in. There are many techniques for manipulating water, but if you train around it, it will be easier for you to respond to pranksters, such as leaving when you perceive unnaturalness in close combat.

"Who do we start this training with?

"See you later, from me."

And Sheila leaves a step forward. All right. Let's just say we move on with the training.

"Okay, let's get started. Let's start... with the three of us."

"Then we will."

Manipulate the magic doll and let the confronting martial arts officers storm it. Weltes moves that fast from the front. The other two deployed left and right to intercept. Take the tip of the spear that is protruded with a magic shield and strike back immediately. A martial officer received concentrating his fight on the spear was bounced behind him.

On the weight of the attack, the martial officer gave a slightly surprised look - but raised his will to war and rushed right in front of him.

"Magic shields are a substitute for fighting defenses."

"I mean - scratch this and take a blow, right?

"Yes, weave your lies, scatter your consciousness distributions and unplug your defenses"

"Understood!"

It was a simulated battle while swimming around at high speeds.

Looking at the movements of the martial arts officers, it's interesting to see their underwater warfare movements as well. The martial officers try to take advantage of the number of people to beat them. A magic doll that lets you do it and disrupts it with speed and force.

I guess it's because the half-fish martial artists are used to 3D combat.

Somehow it will be a similar development to the fighter's placement in the dogfight, but since he's raw, he's smarter to turn around. It also feels like melee fighting will be added there.

If you turn around, positioning isn't always advantageous. Replace the body. Replace position. Hit each other with a spear and a spine-style weapon as they cross. With a fist. With a kick. With a head poke. By the body. Use the magic doll's entire body as a weapon and cross with the martial arts officers.

"It's not like it's a mock fight again."

I saw it. Queen Eldraine was nodding like she was impressed.

Sheila, on the other hand, is doing well inside.

When I see the water bullet flying early in conjunction with Aqua Golem's avant-garde movements, I successfully incorporate it into my methods of warfare, sensing the first move and deploying a shield for assault, leaving or stepping in.

You could raise the level of training more for this minute. Let's also say that we will be blurring out techniques like water whips in melee and omnidirectional attacks centered on the operator.

Finish the mock at such a rate - again take time to discuss it with Queen Eldraine.

"As far as the power ratio is concerned, we're going to have to deal with three to five people for one member of the king's family."

I just said after seeing the strength of the martial arts officers. The three Weltes can defeat him well enough. I'm saying five people for more certainty because the strength of their families can't all be the same, but either way, the number of people who can fight at once can't be that high.

It would be possible for the avant-garde to switch to reduce concentration and consumption of health, giving no rest to the enemy. It is estimated that about five people are suitable for that number.

"I see. I can't be sure, but the number of stone statues of the relatives in the report is not that high. However, the number of hands that can fight these people will be limited."

Queen Eldraine put her arms together to look like she was conceiving.

"After all, wouldn't numbers be that advantageous?"

"Unfortunately. Must be the lowest condition to be able to use your fighting spirit."

The tip of the spear doesn't mean it goes to all the soldiers, but, as the queen says, it becomes the minimum condition for you to be able to use your fighting spirit to fight your family.

It does beat on the force, but it narrows it down quite a bit when it comes to the actual number of fightable people.

"If you can't ask for numbers... if you don't have a lot of opponents, there's probably nothing here other than a handful of good ones."

"Uhm. Even if you roll out a soldier you know you're no match for, just for their wear and tear, your morale drops and you get your hands on treatment. Above all, it is not the work of the virtuous."

Queen Eldraine nodded, too, as the Duke and Grand Duke said.

"Mm-hmm. My concubine doesn't want to do that either."

So...... it will be elite to stand on the arrow in the battle against the kings' families. We can also say that the Sirius is now possible.

"But... if you have a weapon here that works for the king's family, if you make them understand beyond, then the fact that you win by number clearly works well enough"

"Is it clear? That's funny."

Queen Eldraine shivers her shoulders in my words.

"Right. They want to gather them in one place so they can't escape. Perhaps in that case, we will attack the castle of Grantios."

"Does Lord Theodore have a technique that he can use to fight a siege?

The martial officer asks me, gives me a few ideas and then answers.

"I don't know if there's a problem with breaking through the gates or walls."

"You say it as a matter of course. I think I can do more than that."

"Because the purpose is also to recapture. I don't even think we can defeat the king of the sea to the extent that he's underneath the castle."

"I see."

And Queen Eldraine laughs delightfully. The Duke is nodding with some good taste... well let's not worry about it.

The purpose is only the crusade of the kings and the recapture of the capital of the sea. Crushing or blowing up every castle won't do you any good just because rebuilding will be hard. Therefore, if we were to destroy it, we would identify an effective location.

Seeing the war on the ground and listening to this and judgment can be a hassle, and it would be nice to ask Queen Eldraine about the structure of the castle right now and give her an idea of where to attack.

Various assumptions for surveillance and training, supply of weapons. I feel like I've done what I can. After that... you just wait for the move.
