Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Well, what is it?

about the return of the brave men to Endelusia, and to Crestling, the capital of the former.

"Why, I was the only one who left..."

A swordsman leaned against the wall in the hallway in front of the dining room and was repentantly dropping.

"There's a wise man down there, isn't there?

But even if Waltz says so,

"... yeah, right"

The swordsman returned an empty reply.

Looks like he's enjoying being left behind by a brave man.

"Shake it off already!

Dogowo!

"Guuuuuu!!

6G by gravity control.

"Gibbs, gibbs..."

Apparently, unlike the brave, Waltz immediately de-controlled gravity because he didn't have much resistance to high gravity.

"Seriously, give me a break..."

Like a newborn deer, a swordsman who is pulling and shivering as he lays low on the ground.

"You're a weak thing... So, how did you know the braves were back in the country?

"I once metastasized in front of my eyes..."

As he rises, the swordsman gives him something like a piece of paper that has become crusty.

"So, I picked this up when I saw the brave guy drop it..."

On that paper,

"... 'Scorch'?

It said short.

(Hmm? Didn't you go home to stop the Endercia soldiers?... or why did you bother writing it on paper...)

"By the way, what, when you transferred, was there anyone else around you besides the braves?

No, you weren't there.

(Does that mean someone wasn't watching...?

Waltz reminds me of Altair.

(Like someone was spying on you remotely? I mean, what are you running from...)

I was waltz thinking about various possibilities, but in the end, I never got an answer.

and a hunter came to the two of them.

"Waltz, and the Swordsman Hall. Which one of you is Lord Brave?

Apparently, the call to the Conference against Endelusia hung.

"That's the thing..."

Waltz explained to the hunters about the brave men.

"... hmm, run, or... I'm just curious, well. Then would the Swordsman and the Sage come to the First Chamber because we have no choice? The senators want to hear directly about the situation in Endersia."

"... okay. Then I'll go first with my sister, so will Lord Waltz speak to Nicole?

"Okay. Bye, hunter. For the meeting, please."

"Oh, I'll take care of it"

With that said, the hunter and swordsman proceeded to the stairs leading to the upper floor.

"So can Sage go to Conference Room 1, too?

This time, without breaking apart, Waltz explained about the brave men and Leah.

"Oh... okay"

Sage, having said that, took the elevator and went up to the royal castle.

Seeing that he wasn't as damaged as a swordsman, the wise man seemed to have something to think about as a wise man.

No way, I'd rather be with Catalina and the others than with the braves... and so on.

... I don't know what to say, because you're a wise man.

"Somehow, the clouds are getting suspicious..."

Julia, who dropped off the back of the wise man, spoke.

"Well... you're a brave man, so you can do something about it, right?

Even though he had a little anxiety about the write-down 'Nose,' Waltz decided to push the matter to the corner of his brain for now.

More than that.

"Well, shall we get ready to head to South Fortress"

What to do with the 800,000 enemy soldiers looming in front of you, is.

"We're already ready, so you can leave at any time."

"No problem right now"

Catalina and Tempo each spoke.

"Ah..."

But apparently, there was only one person who wasn't ready.

"Wow, me, I'll get some sushi!

"... on time."

Totally addicted (?) Waltz could only drop Lucia off.

I wonder if you will buy 100 servings, including emergency minutes.

"Well, we'll just wait for Teresa and the others to finish the meeting... well, then I'll see how the meeting goes, so everyone buys out what they need... well, can you go buy out food other than Inari sushi?

"Understood."

Tempo, the transporter, answered.

So Waltz came to the conference room on the third floor of the royal castle.

There were about two guards in front of the door of the room who seemed to be bent on guarding, but for her to be transparent, it was merely a scratch.

Ignoring them, Waltz normally opens the door and goes inside.

At that time, the guards and the senators looked at the door with surprise, even though at first glance there was no one there, but immediately they all turned their gaze back to their original positions.

Yes, as if nothing had happened...

As a matter of fact, this was not the first time for them that the conference room door would open on its own.

If it was the first time, the debate would have been interrupted until the cause was known.

In particular, where the debate was interrupted, it would be forced to resume by the chairman (Teresa).

Incidentally, this phenomenon of 'doors of the conference room open at will' was said among those entering and leaving the royal castle to be 'actually because of the passing of the spirits of the royals who died in the royal castle', etc.

And by way of example, Waltz is unaware of the rumors, so a similar phenomenon continues to occur while she is in the Royal Castle.

It should be noted that this phenomenon will later be told as one of the royal castle 7 wonders...

Well, Waltz came to Teresa sitting in the chair.

From here, the hunter seems to be listening to the flow of the meeting a little further from the chair seat.

In the same way, swordsmen and sages, with an unusual serious face, sit back in the reference seat.

And Waltz also sat back transparent on his own dedicated chair, which was prepared next to the chair.

Yes, this seat is an empty (...) seat that Teresa would like to prepare for Waltz.

In particular, the senators seem to think it's a seat reserved for the deceased former king.

After taking his seat, Waltz speaks in a small voice to Theresa, who sits in the chair, so that those around him cannot hear her.

"(Teresa? Did you hear about the braves?

But...

"(Yes. I just heard from swordsmen and sages ~)"

"(... sorry, wrong people)"

Apparently, Cortex and Teresa were switching.

So Waltz spoke to someone with a veil on his face, sitting in the secretarial seat behind the chair.

"(Teresa?

"(... Lord, you made a mistake?

"(I think it's just enough to make a mistake?

"(Well, I made it look like it for that)"

Her face is hidden in the veil, but Teresa will be smiling.

"(So, we seem to be able to leave, but how's it going over here?

"(I'm still in the middle of discussing measures, but they're not grand and fragrant. It's blocked in all directions.)"

There were no measures to counter 800,000 soldiers, and the agenda was narrowed to one point.

"(Where the hell are there enough barracks for as many as 800,000 soldiers to march from? As long as I know that, I can take measures ~)"

Now the words flew backwards from Cortex, who was writing something down, as he turned forward.

Seems like he's doing a lot of clever things.

"(After all, isn't it metastatic transport? It's a corner transfer magic)"

"(Surely important supplies like meals and secret weapons are transported by transfer magic, I guess. But metamagic is not free-flowing magic enough to send anything)"

(Speaking of which, Leah was also worried that when she went to mine the gold, she would be able to carry all the ore she had dug out to the royal castle..., like she said something targeted...)

The point is that the amount of material that can be transferred is proportional to the magnitude of the amount of magic held by the wizard (?).

On top of that, only a very limited number of people can use metamagic, so transporting 800,000 troops' stations with metamagic alone was unrealistic.

For example, if we consider rear as a criterion, the amount of minerals that could be transferred per day using bangles averaged approximately 10 t.

I don't know how much Magic Attack +10 Enchant by Bangle leads to Magic Boost, but if you estimate less and double it, Leah's usual full strength will allow you to carry 5t of supplies.

Of course, the amount of magic consumed varies depending on the distance, but if you dare to think of it as constant here, the food a single transfer wizard can carry per day is roughly 2,000 people (5 t/2.5 kg).

This means that you will need at least 400 rear (fellow brave) wizards to feed 800,000 soldiers.

Besides, if you think about weapons and consumables, if you cover all the barracks with transfer transport, would you need a transfer wizard for around 1000 people?

Incidentally, Mid-Eden's transition wizard population is approximately 100.

Are there, after all, as many as a thousand wizards in Endelusia who can use metastatic magic?

In the first place, if there are as many as 1,000 transfer wizards, it would be more effective to carry 50,000 soldiers at once in an ambush attack...

This is why it is extremely unlikely that the military station will be transported by metastatic magic.

Then how the hell do you mean you're carrying a barracks?

"(... a airship?

"(Probably the most likely means of transport would be a airship)"

If we had the means to fly, we would be able to fly over the mountains separating the two countries without any problems.

"(The braves used it, too)"

Waltz tasted and saw, he remembered a ship type (like) airship.

Well, before I could make sure it was accurate, I shot it down.

"(Endercia is not from the land of airships...)"

From Theresa's mouth, an unexpected word leaked.

Apparently, it didn't show up on Waltz's anti-aircraft radar because of the distance between Mid-Eden and Endersia, or because of the mountains separating the country.

"(That? Then why don't we just fly the ship to this king's capital and come bomb it?

"(Bub...? Then what is it?

"(Bombs from airships... well, could this world mean a tactic to drop fire magic out of the sky in large quantities?

"(Hmm? You have those tactics, don't you?

Apparently there was no concept of bombing in Teresa's knowledge.

"(So, why aren't you attacking me directly from Endersia, on a airship?

"(Simple. The point is, it's not fuel efficient.)"

They have the concept of fuel consumption.

"(Hmm. By the way, how long?

"(Well... I've heard stories that beyond the mountains of the border, you won't be able to return to Endelucia)"

"(Then I wonder how the braves got the airship to fly around South Fortress...)"

"(Isn't it because I got replenishment at South Fortress?

"(Yes... I mean, if they drop South Fortress, they could be in range of attack for the airship so far)"

"(That's what's gonna happen)"

"(Hmm... hassle)"

(... it's hard to ask because I've been asking all these questions just now, what is the fuel for a airship... mana or something?

But in the end, I didn't ask, Waltz.

"(So if we can crash a airship for troop station transport, does that mean we can handle it?

"(That's probably what I mean ~)"

And now it's back from Cortex.

"(I think you can do something about shooting down the airship yourself if you ask Mr. Canopus (Mage) ~...)"

So once, Cortex stops the word.

The hand that was writing something also stops.

"(... probably, in itself, one of their schemes ~)"

In other words:

"(You mean trap...?

"(This is totally to be expected ~, wouldn't it be a stream such as Separate Task Force attacking the King's Capital or surrounding towns the moment Mr. Canopus leaves the King's Capital ~?

"(... aren't you overthinking it?

"(I feel like you're telling me to go for it, and it's absurd ~)"

The slow-moving army, and the weakness of the station transport, and the security of the king's capital, which becomes thin with successive enemy attacks.

"(... that sounds deliberate)"

"(I can't deny the possibility that it's a coincidence either ~)"

It was when Cortex said it.

"Speaker! Vote!

(... of what?

I wasn't listening to Congress at all, Waltz.

But Cortex seemed different.

"... um, then gentlemen. Give Lord Canopus a vote on whether or not to order an attack on enemy supply units!

and co (...) l (...) te (...) c (...) s (...) proclaimed grandiose against the senators who were older than themselves, with a good width and a sharp gaze.

That too, in the way Teresa talks.

"(... you, you're really Teresa, aren't you?

Waltz takes confirmation from someone who looks like Teresa in a veil.

"(... wow, I'm, Cortex...)"

"(Yeah, you don't have to, do you?

"(... how the hell do you talk normally...)"

Teresa held her head.

That being so, the issue is where the vote goes.

On this matter, Cortex was of the opinion that there was no significant difference in the matter, whichever way it rolled.

If we send Canopus, there will be a defensive hole in the king's capital, and if we don't send him, there will be no future for South Fortress.

To go further, in the former case, the Wang capital could be devastated, and in the latter case, Mid-Eden could be invaded based in the occupied South Fortress.

I mean, either way, Mid-Eden doesn't have a future.

provided, however, that without the presence of the waltzes,

"Then stand up if you agree with the attack order!

Thus, Parliament's conclusion was that Canopus would be dispatched for South Fortress relief.
