Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

12.2-24 Capital Retrieval Operations 24

War in this world is a great plain, where soldiers face each other, saying things, recommending surrender, or refusing to do so.... After such a ritual, the clash of magic and weapons begins.

The battle does not occur sporadically outside the battlefield. Because the lords and nobles who govern the land will never collide with each other except in a predetermined battle to make their victory in battle their own. And the other side will not attack without notice. War is expensive, so it's not as simple as being unplanned. Well, although some acts such as looting can be seen, if you do it in a national way, the surrounding countries will beat you without asking questions, so a bandit with broken soldiers can dye your hands.

On the other hand, what about Waltz and Middle-Eden Borealis Allied vs. Eclaria? In a situation where tens of thousands of soldiers fight in chaos, it is almost impossible to speak up anymore. In the first place, the coalition forces were forming a formation surrounding the city of Vixen, a large town, so they had no idea where each other's representatives were, and it seemed that they could not even make a recommendation to surrender, rather than speak up.

Therefore, the fighting between the two armies suddenly began, like the war in the modern world. That first blow--

Dgoaaaaaaaahhhh!!

--It was a black lightning bolt fired by someone belonging to the Allied side.

Like countless snakes crawling the earth, powerful lightning magic strikes Ecleria's soldiers. Even on a magical scale, Sole, the top-ranking, widespread extermination magic, blew up an Ecleria army tank from the inside.... Black fireworks formed around it.

Waltz and Cortex whisper their thoughts as they gaze from the sky.

"Wow... dirty fireworks?

"I can't tell if it's dirty or not, but it's not beautiful ~"

"Whose magic is that? Pretty powerful... I think if I hit someone, I'd die instantly..."

"... Hmm ~ According to our operator Atlas, that black thunder seems to be the wizard's widespread extermination magic. Yuki-sama has been trained to use a lot of powerful magic ~" "Hey, don't make yourself an operator!

"Hmm... (Do you feel like the magic of the people around you is accelerating? Whether you're a wise man or a brave man, I don't think you've been that strong before....)"

And Waltz remembered the strength of the face of the brave party that attacked us about a year ago. At that time, she unilaterally wreaked havoc on the heroic party... It seems that I could not remember how strong they were because the battle ended in too short a time.

Allied attacks continued in the meantime. Dozens of tons of heavy tanks are blown into the air one after the other. It's not just one place, it's all over the big battlefield.

"... what? It's completely different from the war I know....."

The war has changed.

"Even if you say it in a low voice, it doesn't feel like it's coming out.

"Well... Anyway, I don't think it's a strong mistake that the war has changed ~? For example, Lucia created a bracelet artifact. I'm lending this to my fan clubs, so they're showing me how they work."

That's a complete cheat.

"War has no cheats or anything. It's only natural to get rid of your opponent. Do it or not. Lose or win ~... History is a winner's decision, so if you win, you can distort the process as much as you want, so there's no problem."

And in front of the amazing waltz, I assure you, Cortex.

Then she turned to the ground with a nice smile and looked further down.

"Whoa whoa whoa? It seems that the people over there were the same ~

It was just after Cortex said so.

Dgoaaaaaaaahhhh!!

Explosive smoke rises as if a large explosion had occurred on the ground. However, it is not a suicide bombing attack using a magic furnace bomb.

"What... that...?"

Waltz wonders if many people couldn't believe how suddenly they danced into the universe.

In response, Cortex told her the information he was collecting through the operator.

"... I see ~ Perhaps that is the truth of the mysterious enemy base destruction that has been going on lately ~? I mean... the runaway of a tamed monster. Rather, you should say this.... trying to put a mechanized monster into action, but the experiment failed ~ In that case, I can also explain the" mechanized ground dragon "that Tempo-sama encountered. Well, we don't know at this distance if they were successful in controlling this battle ~?

Cortex's soft remarks--

Dgoaaaaaaaahhhh!!

—— and the ground on the battlefield exploding. Each time, Allied soldiers were blown away... It seemed like a terrible situation was spreading on the ground.
