Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events
8.1-15 Travel north 15
Low clouds cover the dark night sky, the Mid-Eden Central Plains.
There are countless bonfires (calluses) burning around the town in the north of it at some point, and intermittently large fireballs fly from it...
Dogowong!!
and fell near the town, wearing a crater to the ground with the explosion.
Apparently, nobles and others expelled by the inhabitants from the town quickly took the private soldiers and came to retaliate.
If you know that there are central knights here, you should only be a mere bad hand, but when it comes to still attacking, the other side doesn't seem to know that the knights exist.
Alternatively, it is possible that the knights are being provoked with confidence that they are unbeatable... in which case all I would say is that the nobleman in command has gone crazy because all I would call it is suicidal.
Forget it.
Its battle power is under Atlas (?) except for the knights, who seemed large enough to be able to dominate in a short time if only the townspeople.
Still seeing that they haven't attacked the town in total, apparently the other side is going to recommend the townspeople to surrender, and they're flying a strong fire magic at this point.
Since nobles earn money from taxes that residents earn, they want to make it as easy as possible to avoid sacrifices (reduced tax revenues) in poor combat.
Seeing how it was, the 3,000 knights had a look on their face that seemed difficult.
How about pointing a blade at your compatriots...
Such a mindfulness to ask oneself may have crossed the back of one's brain.
But there was nothing like the knights in town abandoning the townsfolk who were in a weak position, even though there was a riot.
Everyone was preparing for battle by building trenches, checking weapons, checking placements, and so on.
But in a meeting that gathered their troop leaders like that... Atlas said this.
"Tonight you are all on standby."
"" "What...?
The knights, who intend to come to the battle brief, have been told to wait and unexpectedly doubt their own ears.
Was Atlas anticipating their reaction, before questions flew in from the knights, he went on to say.
"The question is... admittedly not"
That's what I say. Atlas taking a seat.
I hope you don't ask me any more of the circumstances......
His back was telling the story.
Change your perspective.
Upon hearing the explosion, the three Yulias, who had come all the way to the sight of the whole town, were turning their troubled gaze toward the sight.
"You said you got kicked out yesterday and ran away... you seemed to get in shape faster than you thought. Were you even prepared in advance?
And, as surrounding the town, Julia squeaks her thoughts when she sees a pounding bonfire.
There were brave men next to her like that, but he seemed to be pointing anything to say, a look that seemed difficult, at the lightning.
I guess we still haven't been able to sort out our minds before that is how those in the same country are trying to contend with each other.
In contrast, Null... something didn't seem right.
"Right...... I thought it would take a little longer, too."
And until earlier, I told Julia that I was talking to her from above with my gaze, but null to come here and use a salute for some reason.
Apparently, in the null, something big was going on.
Not knowing how that was, Julia asked, tilting her neck.
"... what's going on? Master Null?"
Then Null replies, looking sober.
"... what are you talking about?
"(What are you talking about... just now, aren't you talking in a different way? No prickliness...)"
Even though I thought so, I never put that in my mouth, Julia.
Looks like she felt some kind of landmine-like sign of Null's changing attitude.
Then Julia, trying not to think about the details, turned her consciousness to the view she could see from there and began an intelligence-like analysis.
"Er... you're about 5,000 people. Seeing it scattered around town...... seems to be licking this one for a long time. If you think about fighting a soldier of the same size, you can't beat the people in town because it's over."
With that said, Julia peeks into the monoculars she had and writes down the composition of the other soldiers she saw there in her notebook.
Soldier types, equipment, positional relationships, etc… seem to compile the information necessary to assess the war situation.
After it was over, she looked down nearby instead of looking far to see what was going on with the knights that had followed her so far... and realized.
"... that? You don't seem willing to fight, do you, knights?
In reaction to that word, Null and the brave man look down, both of them.
Then there is the figure of the knights, who say that the enemy is in front of them, but who do not even enter the impromptu trenches placed on the front line, simply watching the movement of their opponents still......
However, they didn't seem to be making a joke, and distracted, but looking serious and observing about the other person.
As far as that goes, I guess that doesn't mean I lost my will to war.
Seeing their movements like that, Null and the brave open their mouths to each one.
"What are we all doing? I don't seem to be lazy..."
"Seeing where we are showing a certain amount of tension...... isn't there a standby command coming out of the upper management?
"For what the hell?
"Right......"
A brave man who takes Null's word and thinks.
However, he did not seem to have been able to give a clear response, not knowing what was going on with the order system of the knights.
In contrast, Julia, director of the intelligence service, apparently knew 'something' that the brave men did not.
"... uh, is that what you mean"
And, looking at the cloud-covered sky, whining Julia.
To her like that, with two nulls and two brave men tilting their necks, she said just one word without going into any further detail.
"Um... maybe if you look at it, you'll see. I mean, this is the first time I've seen it, too, right?
…………
It was two nulls and brave men who were overly vague about Julia's explanation and were about to frown... but their question seemed to be, soon, sunny.
aristocrats who were rioted by the inhabitants and expelled from the town.
After all that anger on their part, the soldiers in the gathering who had been driven out into the town's recapture operation through the night... seemed to have a gessy look on their face.
"Sleep... I mean, why do we have to attack our own bodies..." Slow down.
"Right...... I know a lot of people in that town..." Slow down.
"Shit! If you say something too weird, they'll ask..." scared
and soldiers who, in their hearts, are opposed to this recapture operation.
But there's no way I can disobey orders from my superiors... and now, with the townspeople's side, I can't join the uprising...
They seemed to curse their own bad luck, having pulled the poverty lottery.
It's just that they, too, give me the end of a soldier who dawns in training every day.
Looks like I could change my mind, as if I'd raise my own morale.
"Well, you have no choice but to be. With that said, it's been half an hour since you unleashed the intimidating magic that prompts you to surrender... It's time for an order from above…"
And it was just after a soldier shrugged.
Don! Don! Don!
I heard a loud drum-like sound coming from nowhere,
SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And three times, light magic exploded in the sky.
What that means… is a signal for all armies to move forward.
"Come on, let's go"
"I don't want to go, but I'm going."
"Let's get this over with and go home."
Soldiers jamming jizzily toward the town, saying that to their mouths.
Looking at that from the top, the circular circle that surrounded the town is slowly getting smaller... it would have looked that way.
And that siege net was supposed to be sucked into the town, without any major problems, while controlling some of the townspeople who resist...
But it seemed that they could not reach the city.
Because...
Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
As if pushing through a black cloud, something suddenly descends from above… because it has interrupted between the soldiers forming the siege net and the town they are targeting.
Some soldiers who were watching the condition accidentally stopped on their feet and raised their voices.
"What is that?
"The magic unleashed by the inhabitants of the town... isn't it?
"Be careful! It could be a new demon!
That, the soldiers who heighten their vigilance against what appears to be a half-melted object into the darkness.
But their vigilance was... utterly futile.
Bun......
Dogowong!!
In the middle of the object, the moment the little red light shined, more than 300 soldiers were dancing in the sky…
Everyone seemed flabbergasted, not knowing why that was, not to the soldiers who were currently dancing in the sky in a progressive fashion, and not to the other soldiers who could only see such companions.
Such a fold, at some point, I could hear this voice from a mysterious object that was moving not inside the siege net but outside the siege net.
'Oops, I forgot to declare war. Then I declare it here. … Let's get started, let's go to war'
And...
Dogowong!!
The Lord of his voice… began a unilateral abuse by tempo.
