Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

7.6-16 Battle at South Fortress 01

... snow, rain, muddy water, and... bloodshed.

On a plateau high ground that was soaked with 'something' that could not be called such a liquid or solid...

"Damn! What a terrible battlefield..."

... there was such a poisoning brave figure.

This is a temporary front-line base for the Magimouse crusade, close to the city of South Fortress.

Soldiers and adventurers who were participating in the battle to exterminate Magimouse are an institution for rest and replenishment.

There was also a high bounty paid by the Mid-Eden government, bringing together people who came from all over the world looking for bounty money, rather than from all over the country.

Spread funds from the government and employing mercenaries on an ad hoc basis was also common in this world and was a constant means of compensating for the shortage of soldiers.

Therefore, the condition was…… of the war.

However, the opponent of the battle is not a person...

Needless to say, the opponent is a magically manipulative rodent… a magpie mouse.

Even if the length of the tail is included, it may be a small species less than 20 cm in length in adults, or vice versa, it may be a medium-sized species as much as 60 cm in length.

... In other words, Magi Mouse was a common name for using magic in bulk, referring to multiple types of rodents.

Among other things, this time, the magpie mouse that the brave men were dealing with was… a species that is not overstated to be the smallest, large or around 20 cm long.

Because of that... those who fought mainly physical attacks were struggling.

Whether they try to target the Magi Mouse with a sword, axe, bow, etc., as soon as they turn to kill, they use their little bodies skillfully to disappear into grass, tree shadows, or holes dug into the ground.

If your opponent is a big prey, like a dragon, even if you're meditating on your eyes, if you wave your weapon down without thinking about it anyway, it should hit you on its own...... even among demons, the smallest category.

It wasn't easy to strike, even if it was carefully targeted.

On top of that, the Magi Mouse were a bunch of monsters that were all magical specifics without exception, sometimes using super powerful magic for that, and whether they could finally finish one for 20 people.

What happens if you show them a gap like that for a moment...

Dogowong

'Wow!

... There is no such thing as compassionate forgiveness or other human feelings, it just blows away.

In front of that overwhelming magic, it can be said that wearing heavy armor and defending oneself with a thick shield, there is no guarantee of life.

"Damn!

The screams and roars that rose to the plains where the mistletoe poured...... and the brave man who writes a bat mark on the map with his trembling hands, visually confirming its appearance, where the victim is actually lying.

"Before the battle, I told you not to fight as close as I did, why doesn't anyone try to hear me...!

After he said so remorsefully, he accidentally held his head.

...... around one, 80,000 gold.

This is the Mid-Eden government...... an additional special reward set by Cortex.

The amount in itself was not jumping through and high as a reward for the Magi Mouse crusade of the Magic Specific......

It wasn't cheap, it was a price cap.

If you make it too expensive an amount, be vigilant that there is something behind it, and no one will try to participate.

On the contrary, it goes without saying if it is too cheap.

Such an exquisite amount...... rather, in the context of setting an amount that is not an exaggeration to say a little expensive...... seemed like a Cortex idea.

"What? The reward is too high ~? Maybe so ~. But ~... I think we should put a lot of money into something big, charitable ~. It's too bad people aren't coming even though it's" cleaning up "because of you ~. Yes, it's" cleaning up "~... so what?

… This is a word Cortex uttered to those Members who argued that the amount was too high when she proposed to Parliament to account for the cost of anti-Magimouse measures as a special budget.

The senators didn't seem to know why she used the word 'cleaning' or anything... but as soon as they heard the word, they all suddenly pushed and turned in favor.

I felt like such a giggle and words could be directed at me one day... so many senators talk about it.

Well, actually, not to mention whether it will.

The adventurers, half of whom were made up of rough men, who did not take the advice of the brave men, seemed to be literally sinking into the muddy ground, defeated by Magimouse, as if they were going to destroy themselves......

Seeing how it was, a brave man with a cut and feathered look raised his voice at the command post of a makeshift base without any reason to know what Cortex was thinking or anything else.

"Keep it up, Jiri, you're poor!... Sage. Can't we break the formation of the city's defense forces and buy the guys on the front line (here) as much time as we can retreat?

Ahead of the voices containing such a colour of crisis… the wise man, who was now only one companion of the brave, had made adjustments to the demonic props for the development of the urban junction to protect the stronghold.

It is a magic prop that was once under investigation with Catalina.

Nowadays, he seemed to be like a tool he was used to, and by using it in conjunction with the angel mode given to him by the King of Endelusia, he seemed able to create a safe zone that temporarily lifted the demons, whenever and wherever he liked.

The wise man in Angel Mode, who had his hand on that magic prop, when he heard a call from the brave man and let go of his hand from the magic prop, replied to the brave man as he waved his head back from Angel Mode.

"... give it up, Leo. I just told them the operation, and they haven't listened to me in the first place, so it wouldn't make sense. More than that, above all, we should give priority to our own safety. This bond is something you can hold forever..."

A wise man uttered such a flagging word... it was the moment.

Mississippi...... Bari......

I could hear something like that... or a bibi coming in.

"... fast, but to the limit"

"Hey... are you serious..."

What the wise man's words mean… is that the urban boundaries deployed in this stronghold have reached their limits, and the effects of the boundaries that suppress the incursion of the Magi Mouse have ceased.

Neither the magically created junction nor the shield created by science can change that if we meet acceptable limits, we will disappear unconsciously.

In this case, it appears that the total amount of magic power of the Magi Mouse pushed against the junction surface has exceeded the strength of the rating, which should also be called the magic resistance of the junction, as if the water pressure could be suppressed with the glass of the tank.

As a result…

Dogowong!!

The magic explodes closer than ever before, and I hear a corresponding roar...

"Wow!

"to, run wo!!

"Duh, where to!?

Sniffles like screaming, yelling, and bewildering voices filled the front-line base.

Apparently, inside the base, Magi Mouse and the others have broken in.

"Sage! We're going to abandon this place and retreat! I'm doing my job."

"Come on, Leo, back off with everyone! Because I'll be the 'angel' and stop eating!

".................. Grr!

A brave man with his mouth as a letter to and after the occasion, with a look like he would put up with something as a result of being taught by a wise man...

As for what the hell he was putting up with and why, if you look at that crying face, wouldn't it pass it on to you...

... but he is a brave man.

Immediately regaining his mind, he showed himself not to those who fled at first sight... but to the tent where there were those who could not flee immediately because they were injured, or those who did not flee to lend such a hand to them, and the sword (?) raised his voice as he pulled out.

"We'll protect you behind us, so run!

And a brave man who turns his back on them and turns outside the tent.

... but there he is, hardened.

Because before he turned around...

Chu......

… because a small mouse with small, bright red eyes, about 10 cm long, accidentally appeared….
