I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
Episode 226: The Battle of the Hiragis North
"Elf reinforcements, thank you!
As soon as I transferred, I heard someone shouting for joy.Looks like it was a pretty pressing situation.
Bring 100 Elves to the barracks of the Barbarossa army, and the Elves will be guided to the front immediately.
"Then, as you know, gather the advance troops and the empty soldiers."
I will give instructions to the remaining elves around me and send them out.I thought I could do without light magic support if I could afford it, but the situation seems to be bad as reported.
Fortunately, the town was not so big, and the deployment of troops was concentrated on the northern defense, the direction of the monster's arrival.It won't be much trouble to gather people and apply light magic.
To finish quickly and return to the Northern Fort, Miriam and Shira-chan escort them to the wall, and the two generals are discussing something serious on the front wall.One is, of course, General Barbarossa, and the other is General Ellion, who is also Elf's general and King's brother.From my point of view, you're my stepuncle.
General Ellion wanted me to be on the front lines of the Northern Fort, too, but he lost to King Elf and Djanken and became a supporter of the Barbarossa army.
"Oh, Guardian!
"General Ellion. And General Barbarossa."
I can't ignore it. I climb the walls and say hello lightly.It is unusual for General Barbarossa to look great in a Command he made, mostly in a safe position away from the front lines.
"Are you a little late?
Speaking of which, the rescue here was behind schedule.If I wanted to send it in, I could have done it sooner....
"I've heard about the situation in the Northern Fort.If it falls down there, it's pointless to endure it here. "
This town is extremely unimportant just because General Barbarossa was about to pass at this time.Of course, if this falls, the northern central part of Hiragis will be all-you-can-love to monsters, but if we can protect the northernmost fort, the Hiragis recapture will be completed.
"The situation in the Northern Fort is improving as well.We should be able to increase our support somewhat. "
However, I tried to say that it was improving, but the current situation is that the castle wall was almost completed and I just got out of my current predicament.I can afford my magic, but the magic of other metamorphologists, Ellie and Luciana, is a cutlet, and it is hard to hope that I can send enough power.There was a bit of leeway in terms of battle power on the front line, but the problem was that reserves could not be created at all, and that was why it could become a Shura area at once if the situation changed.
"It would be good if we left this to ourselves and concentrated as far north as possible.For the sake of the Guardian, our Elves fight to be the last.Even if I die here, I have no regrets. "
Hey!
General Barbarossa seems to have great remorse and disagreement.
"By the way, they're gathering our troops and soldiers...?
General Elliol ignored General Barbarossa's protest and asked.The elves seem to have gathered quickly, but the soldiers seem to be taking longer.
We are gathering it on our own without General Barbarossa's permission, but there it is.It must be a stack of elf (us) credibility.General Barbarossa's men, even his lieutenants and staff officers, have been enveloped.They are so grateful to the elves that they seem to have responded by telling them to gather them without telling them why.It takes time, but it is gathering firmly in the square in front of the gate.
"Oh, wait a minute.We'll talk when we get together. "
Talking before you do it can be cumbersome twice, and it's easy because the explanation is greatly reduced after you actually do it.I don't care if you want to surprise me or not.
It's the magic the brave man used.It is not difficult to imagine how loud it is to dig root leaves when you talk before using it.Move quickly with a simple explanation using magic.End of story.
In the northern fort, they were escorted around, so they guarded us from the noise, but now there are only two of us.It's a waste of magic to use to move. When I said that I could save magic alone, it was Shira-chan and Miriam who were told that it was impossible without an escort.The opponent has two unrivalled enemies, but they are a bit of an unacceptable number to guard against allies.
Well, that's it.I'm looking forward to seeing General Elliol hear nothing.I don't care about General Barbarossa.
"Then tell Barbarossa from the Guardian.What a true samurai!
I wonder what we're talking about with a serious face.I don't have time to do that right now... except for the fact that the soldiers aren't gathering.
The crisis in front of me is being wiped out by reinforcement elves, and since I learned the magic of light in the first place, I've been completely backing up.Just because you haven't been here for a while doesn't affect your defense.In addition, there is an unexpected amount of time to wait for magic recovery.
"A true samurai?
General Barbarossa's reputation is the worst of the elves.You saved me, but you didn't have any thanks, and you beat me up with money and you were rude.That's why General Elliol wanted to do one sermon.
But I'm not a samurai when they say that.I have gained combat experience there, and as a swordsman, I think I was able to become one end of the training, but when I was called a samurai, I felt too uncomfortable.
This Elf General is a Balibali samurai with nearly 200 years of military experience.The general wants to speak in the middle of a shitty defensive battle.I decided to just ask.
"Hmm. What is a true samurai?A martial arts reputation? High status in a vast territory?Can we follow hundreds of thousands of soldiers?Such a thing, even if it's a minority, is dust compared to trust and bonding with fellow citizens. "
Ah, that's what General Barbarossa said.We are famous for our traditional martial arts - like mountaineering.
"It is trust, or faith, between people that makes a strong army.The others are just accessories.The Guardian must send reinforcements if he has faith.You can also stand on the front line, believing that you will never be abandoned even when you are in trouble.I will not spare this life if I have to, and I can trust my countrymen will reward me even if I die. "
Belief in bonds? It is beautiful, but it has weight, according to the soldiers who have fought for 200 years.
"It is arguable to shrink and pull it backwards like a tortoise all by yourself throughout this period.He's about to become a samurai.Sometimes when you stand on the team and fight together and taste the bitter acid, you develop a strong bond. "
So you pulled General Barbarossa out of Command?
It's a defensive battle. Speaking of the front line, it's not as dangerous as it is dangerous, and if you take command properly, it's bad luck to be in command.
"Say what. Elves and so forth would be golden adventurers after all!
In fact, I asked for money, and I didn't have a word that my main business would give back to an adventurer.I don't think that adventurer work is any lower than other professions, but it is also true that some of the amateurs have made the public reputation less favorable.
"You think it's money you're missing?
Yes, General Elliol snorted like he made a fool of General Barbarossa.I requested 50 million gold (5 billion yen) a few hours ago.The Elves are getting information about us on their own, but they may not have received a report to the General if it weren't so important.
I'm talking about the morning.The High Elves at your place have demanded 50 million gold for help. "
Point at me and say you're proud.Saying that you are a true samurai is not an excuse for asking for money.I'm sorry about what the General's niece did.
"Hmm? The Guardians are not in trouble with money.Anyway, our elves are here to help. "
But General Elliol is calm.True samurai can't stand this much.
"Still, it seems to be doing it on its own in terms of funding, and I hear that much of its own funding is invested in supporting the Hiragis settlement.Are you going to throw the money from Lord Barbarossa into Hiragis?
It was a light rose, but I think it's okay.It's not about advertising, but it's not about hiding it.
"That's right. Even if Hiragis is recovered, this roughness will not allow us to start producing food immediately.Five million gold would save a lot of lives. "
"In the first place, our elves are brave soldiers.I have not received any reward or asked for anything when I enlisted in Hiragis.Do you understand, Lord Barbarossa?It's not money at all.If Lord Barbarossa can't pay Hiragis, can I take his place in my elf royal family?
Crafts and products made by 500 years of living elves are sublimated to artworks that are not far from the footsteps of ordinary artisans, and the low number of production is also highly valued and traded at a fairly high value.However, the elf who was pulling into the village didn't spend the money that way, and had been accumulating it for years for nothing.That's probably why Lilia feels strange about money.
"Well, don't be ridiculous!You'll get it ready for immediate cash!
"No, thank you. And if we kept the frontier together, and delivered the people of Hiragis with our own wealth, then the reputation of Lord Barbarossa would be somewhat better."
Even if you forced me to pay for my support, it must be money from the general, and it's a lot of money.If you keep quiet, you won't be able to hide where you came from.Then you can make it clear from the outset that General Barbarossa is supporting you.It's not good to buy a lot of grudge, and it's not bad to have some flowers.
"I will never accept a gift from you.I promise to pay this debt back in another way!
It would be enough if you lent me money or something.General Barbarossa told him to squeeze out what he hated so much about the elves.
"Well, that doesn't matter.Let's get to work. "
While we were talking, it seemed that all the soldiers gathered, except for the one guarding the walls.General Elliol cut his neck as soon as he started chanting and saw me shining.
"Charge —— Breathe -- effects last about half an hour with increased power and speed and recovery of health and magic."
Activate the chant and give the usual explanation.Whether it's more or less surprising, stunned, or excited with the brave, General Ellior only looks at me funny and raises his eyebrows.That's right, it doesn't work this way.The liver is sitting.
But General Barbarossa seemed surprised to open his mouth so big that his jaw was about to come off.He's not sitting on his liver.
"Hmm, how can you use the sole!?
He looks like the end of the world because of General Barbarossa, who has never broken his strong attitude.Are you upset?It's a little unusual.
"Even my family, the blood of the brave, could not use it, only the brave, special....."
General Barbarossa is a descendant of the brave.It's not strange to be a nobleman of the Empire.
"That would be because the Guardian is special, Lord Barbarossa."
Yes. Light magic is a special magic that perhaps cannot be used without the protection of God.Someone should have been able to use it before if they could master it normally.
"Yu, a brave man...?!
"He is not a brave man.The Elf's Guardian. "
"That's right. I'm not a brave man."
That is an unacceptable line.
Well, I've done my errands and I don't need to stay any longer.Move it. I have received the report, but I would like to see what happens to the Eastern Fort, and I am worried about leaving the Northern Fort for a long time.
"Well then....."
That's what I tried to transfer, but General Barbarossa stopped me.
Well, wait a minute.
"Anything?
"How did you learn that?
General Barbarossa was the category of boy who wanted to be a brave man.If my parents were a brave family, I wonder if that feeling was stronger.
"You think you can teach me something like that with me and General Barbarossa?
General Barbarossa is stuck in my words.Not even King Elf or General Ellior gave us the details.In any case, King Elf told General Barbarossa that it would be useless, and that it would be troublesome if he came to raise a strange favor.
Because I don't trust it fundamentally in the first place, it's a problem before I like it.
"Or gold?If you need more money.... "
"General"
Strongly intercept General Barbarossa, who is called gold.
It was the same with Luc, but I like money, but when someone tells me what it is, I get irritated.I wonder how easy it would be if all sorts of things could be managed with money.I suppose so.
"It's not my thing to say this... but I want to save Hiragis."
In the first place, the trigger is divinity, but to be honest, it is a passive reason not to want to see people die as much as possible.I also supported the beast in the starving camp, and actively fought the first Orc King troops.
"I've thrown in as much personal money as I can, and I've supported Hiragis' forces as much as I can."
Well, to the best of my ability, to the best of my ability, but still, there must be a lot of Hiragis and soldiers that I could save, directly or indirectly.
"How about that?I decided to be a mercenary for gold and threw a bag of gold coins.They complain about the destruction of monsters. "
Some of them deliberately abandoned General Eldo, and others called him a lowly elf.
"Why is it so important to be born and be respectful?I will gladly pick up the gold coins thrown at me if I have to, and I will lower as much as I want with my head. "
The area was always quiet.I just wanted to complain to General Barbarossa, but even if he asks so much....
"Abandon your own actions."
You will never be a brave man.The words were swallowed up.Then it sounds like I'm a brave man or something.
"I hate you, General Barbarossa."
That said, he turned his heel back, and as he went, he called Miriam and Shira-chan and started chanting the gate.
"Hahaha! You've been told, Lord Barbarossa."
Shortly before the transfer, I heard General Elliol's voice.I spent too long in vain.Let's do it faster next time.
Fort Oriental was the destination of the transfer.We're close to the south, I hear the troops and supplies are generous, and there's no local commander who can help me and complain, and it'll be over soon.
Do what you have to do and get back to the Northern Fort.
That said, I will give instructions to the elves who were waiting at our base in Fort Oriental as soon as possible.
"Guardian, um..."
"What's wrong?
Miriam, who always obeyed me quietly and more than Sati, rarely spoke to me.Anyway, you don't have to be so reluctant because you have a waiting time.
"Thank you very much. On behalf of the people of Hiragis, thank you."
It looks like the speech I gave you earlier.I just really wanted to say something to General Barbarossa....
It's no big deal.That would be a despicable thing to say.In fact, the battle in Hiragis has been going on for a long time, and I've been doing my best.But more than that....
"We're all fighting desperately.You don't have to thank me. "
Even that General Barbarossa cannot deny his work on the battlefield.Well, I guess my men are good.
"But I see.If you really want to say thank you, you can have plenty at night, right?
When I said that as a joke, Miriam, who was fully equipped with a full face and couldn't see his expression, shouted upset.
"I know very well that the Lord is doing well, even if he doesn't.The Lord is a true warrior. "
That's what Shira-chan said.I don't think it's broken, and I take it very seriously.I'm really glad to be able to serve you well in return.
"Shira-chan's out of time here, isn't he?You're ignoring me too much because it's a battlefield.
Apparently, this girl doesn't enjoy fighting.You should take care of me more.Well, in Bielus, it's a practice, and Hiragis is a battlefield.My opponent's maid unit has increased by as many as 10 people, and when it comes to their requests, swords are overwhelmingly more common.
"When this battle is over, you'll have plenty of fun.Ready? "
Shira-chan trifled with my declaration.
I've been really busy these last few days, but I'm finally feeling a little better.
Fort Oriental, one of the two places where Hiragis meets the demon, seems to be fine.The battle will be over once the Northern Fortress is completely contained.
The end is near.
