Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

― ― ― Aering Sigurzalsson in a canyon in the northern part of the Kingdom

"I'll let you know when it's time to arrive, and I'll even prepare you for your countermeasures against the magic of passion... and I'll be ashamed to say that you lost!"

As a nobleman and a defender and guide of the people, this battle cannot be lost!

We have made peace supreme and denied war, but it is not the case that the opponent becomes a monster! I will defeat any evil that hates everything alive!! "

Aerling, who looked down from the top of the cliff at the deep and sharp canyon that stretched from north to south, raised his voice, and those in armour also raised their voice.

The number of people exceeded a few hundred, and they had a variety of weapons... usually as a knight as an aristocrat. Those who enjoyed the privilege began to raise their arms as well as their voices in order to lift themselves up.

Looking at all of them, they nodded contentedly, and pulled out the treasure sword passed down from one generation to the next from the sheath that was lowered to their waist. They raised their swords, which were not practical but beautiful, and further inspired their allies with their brilliance and sophisticated workmanship.

As they did so, a group of robed wizards in the back noticed something and began to cast spells...... In response, they finally realized that the Earth Dragon had arrived...... They stopped raising their voice and waved their arms and decided to be ready.

As the brewers did so, a giant giant emerged as it rumbled through the deep valley floor... and the brewers threw themselves into the battle of a generation.

- Frederick Sarshus on a plain in the east of the kingdom.

Why are the Imperial Siege weapons so bad?

Sarshus quickly glanced at the siege weapons lined up on the plain, folding his cloak for going out, not for wartime.

Countless siege weapons, such as a barista on a stone thrower, a wagon with a large shield attached to it, and countless other siege vehicles, have been captured from the Empire... They are arranged as if they were a side formation of shields, spearmen, and archers, all facing north.

"It's good to prevent the qi magic, but it's the royal road to defeat it from a distance before it gets so close... I've gathered the wizards just in case, but I can't help but rely on them to lower your reputation."

As a knight on the front lines… As someone who survived that war, let's show him that he's not the only hero who protects the country. ”

And so, as Tharshus raised his voice, the knights on the side raised theirs first, then the soldiers who were taking care of the siege weapon raised theirs... thousands of soldiers gathered on this battlefield spoke up all at once... and a black shadow came from the north to respond to it... and the knights began to rush out together... and Tharshus went to the mainland to watch the end of the battle, and sat down in a luxurious chair that did not resemble the battlefield.

― ― ― Riord and Cleve slowly but surely watching the approaching Earth Dragon

The Earth Dragon was approaching with a dull footstep while carrying a spear that looked like a pile of needles.

In response, Mont instructed Joe to set up a large shield...... Joe and the others, who had a large shield made of iron frame wood, stepped forward.

Then, the Earth Dragon spewed out a number of fireballs towards those big shields... The big shields that were hit by the fireballs were shattered and burned... The people holding the big shields were blown away by the impact, rolled on the ground and took their passive bodies... and immediately got up and ran to get the spare big shields, and then stood up and headed forward again.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Mont called out to the Riords who were looking at the scene in a daze, and Mont continued to say words as the Riords nodded in horror.

"The dragon's spitting flames and fireballs are fueled by aura and magic power."

I mean, the magic power for monsters... this is different from magic power, and I can't run out of it.

The Dome Man Magic Stone Furnace makes good use of this power... I mean, the Earth Dragon will never run out of breath after spitting out dozens or hundreds of those fireballs.

It's not exhausting, so it's a bit different if you spit out as much as you want, but apparently, every time they spit out a fireball, your body temperature goes up and you can't... and when it reaches its limit, you can't spit out the fireball.

Then we'll have to wait a while or go into the water... and now we're asking Joe and the others to work hard to create that gap.

Hey, when you're firmly under a big shield, you're going to roll around, but you're not going to die. "

While Mont explained that, Joe and the others were blown away by the fireball with a big shield, and when they set up the next big shield, Riord and the others repeated things that seemed insane.

"The next move is highly dangerous in relation to approaching the bastard... keep the fireball firmly sealed, otherwise there will be terrible damage."

Because the Earth Dragon is smart, and when I realized that my aim was to seal off the fireball, I pretended that I couldn't spit out the fireball.

That's why...? When you fight, you better be careful of that.

Look at the opponent's condition, look at the movement of his eyes, breathe, and look at the movement of his feet and neck to see if it's pretending or not.

If I fail in this judgment, I will not qualify as a commander... My greatest shame as a soldier eating the roots.

Zhu Ha is very good at that kind of judgment... maybe I can learn from him when I get back to the next realm.

But by the way... "

That's what Mont continued to explain.

If you burn, you will be purified; if you burn, you will be burned, you will be lost; and if you lose your aura, the flames will be put out.

Therefore, the flames emitted by dragons often do not burn, and the risk of fire is said to be low.

It is said that there is not much, but if there is fuel in the surrounding area, it will be a fire as a matter of course... Riode and the others are convinced that it was because of this that they were digging back and trampling the ground around the area where the grass was growing.

I was convinced of that point, and I could understand the purpose of Mont's operation... but the scene in front of me was still unusual... Joe and the others didn't complain often, and Riord and the others were impressed and felt complicated.

So the same thing was repeated over and over again, and the shields were shattered, and Joe's armor was covered in mud... when some people were wounded and pulled back, the Earth Dragon turned its mouth toward the sky... and began to spit out something like black smoke as if it were a chimney exhaust.

Looking at the situation, he squinted half-eyed... For a while, the stiffened Monto made a decision as to whether it was pretentious or not, and raised his voice.

"Now, put the net on!!"

Four military horses holding back as they heard that voice... the four territorial soldiers on their backs grabbed the net big enough to envelop the Earth Dragon and dragged it under the Earth Dragon.

The large net that drags with four military horses that can run with a rough nose and without fear even against dragons is really made by braiding a surprisingly thick rope... even if the Earth Dragon bites it from its thickness, it won't be so easy to break.

The army horses who dragged such a large net split into two and two, and ran to pinch the Earth Dragon that was still spitting out black smoke...... The territorial soldiers raised the large net with all their strength and threw it over the needle-shaped armor while using the momentum to cover it, and immediately let go of the cover. The army horses ran straight to the rear of the Earth Dragon.

"Joe! Lorca! Ryan! Now, go, go, go!!"

Immediately after that, Mont cried out, and Joe and the other three, who were still holding their spears while letting go of their shields, ran under the Earth Dragon in an attempt to shake off the net.

The net on the Earth Dragon was caught by a spear stuck in the armor, and even if it was the power of the Earth Dragon, it could not be easily shaken off... so Joe and the others ran up to the Earth Dragon's armor.

Both feet firmly stepped on the net, one hand grabbed the spear that stabbed the armor, and when that happened, the Earth Dragon could not shake off Joe and the others, but... the other hand of Joe and the other hand waved the large spear, aiming at the head and limbs of the Earth Dragon... In response, the Earth Dragon retracted its neck and limbs in a great hurry, making the armor stupid and completely blocking those holes.

"Hey, you're bothering me!!"

They're safe, pull the rope of the net!! Joe! Lorca! Ryan! If you're frightened and pull your neck out, pierce it with your spear immediately!! "

Seeing that, Mont gave instructions... some of the territorial soldiers holding the big shield, some of them with no injuries left, ran towards the rope at the end of the net... grabbing the rope and pulling the earth dragon hanging on the armor.

Even in such a situation, Joe and the others stood on the armor while holding the big spear, so that their necks and limbs could come out at any time... and there, the Dongmen who were holding back and the military horses who ran through rendezvous... and all of them began to pull the net.

"... there's a dragon material on the tip of Joe's spear. Nothing is used on the entire spear. If you just use it on the tip, it'll be enough."

So if you put Earth Dragon's neck and limbs on it, it's easy to penetrate into the bone.

It was a spear with similar workmanship... and it was because of that that I stabbed that hard armor so deeply.

I can stab you with just iron, but the uncertainty is different... well, because I made so many spears, I used up all the dragon material left in the territory, including the end material... now I can get a new material, so I won't complain about it. "

Seeing such a sight, Mont began to explain...... Riode and the others looked at Mont with such a look as though they were too early to settle down.

Then Monto guessed what the Riords wanted to say... and pointed his finger at a hole bigger and deeper than the Earth Dragon, where the Earth Dragon was being dragged, and where the Riords had been helped to dig.

"The Earth Dragon is clever, even digging pitfalls, no matter how cleverly you hide them, it will be avoided by that cleverness."

Then I had no choice but to forcibly drop it, so this is how I got it.

It's hard to crawl up with your own weight as long as you drop it... I can't get rid of it first by dropping rocks and burying them in the bottom of a pitfall.

After that, wait patiently for the head to come out of the nail and poke it one more time... but when it's troublesome, add another hand and create a situation where you can't help but let out that neck. "

While pointing at him, he said something like that... while doing so, the Earth Dragon approached the big hole... It was time for Joe and the others to get off the armor and take a distance, and immediately after that, the Earth Dragon falls into the big hole with a huge sound.

"Alright... I'll bury you in the rocks and pour some water in, and the monsters will breathe, so I'll get my head out eventually."

If you still can't get your head out, it's good to crush the rock salt and mix it in the water... It looks like a tortoise, but I'm not good at salt water... I'll get your head out in no time.

There are other hands that use poison, but this time it will take extra effort to dismantle it, so I can't say that it's a very good hand. "

That's what Mont said as he let out a sigh of relief as he watched as he fell...... Riord and Cleve looked at Mont with a mixed expression of fear and various emotions.

In response, Mont let out a sigh...... he shook his head to the left and right before continuing to speak.

"You said it was cowardly, or even pathetic, right? Leave such a thing to the battle between people, damn it...

The opponent's huge, uselessly stiff armor was strong enough to spit out fireballs.

It would be more cowardly of them to have such things, but it would be more pathetic of us to deal with such things.

... the strength of humans is that they can use tools well, that's why they're doing it with their hands, their heads... I wouldn't do it if I were you.

... you guys might be able to build a martial arts in this way too... I've burned this sight into my eyes and cooled down my boiling head, and I've thought about a lot of things. "

After that, Monty called out to the rear... and began to give instructions such as transporting rocks to drop into the big hole, directing water to the waterway created by connecting to the big hole, and preparing rock salt.

Then the work that Mont said was carried out solemnly... and before the sun began to set, the Earth Dragon that appeared in the east of the Beastman Empire was crushed.
