"It was more dangerous than I thought....."

"No, really."

Since oxygen was scarce at high altitudes, I had to lower the altitude to some extent, but there were monsters even coming up at high altitudes.The dragon, of course, was approaching a range where even Harpy could attack us if he dropped altitude.Harpy must be a superior species.

It was too scary in the show to try your limits by forcing you to raise your altitude.Regardless of your inability to act, of course Lilia's Spirit, me and Ellie will take over the flight, but I don't want to try it in the middle of a large number of enemies.

But the good news is that I boosted my speed and didn't allow any monsters to follow me.

"I wanted to do the eastern fort, but I don't know."

"You'll be on alert already."

If we go now, we may still be able to anticipate the effects of the ambush, but there is no magic left.I've already recovered enough magic to shoot Meteor many times, but Ellie and Lilia have lost their money and put magic in the 200,000 or so avant-garde troops.There's not a lot of magic used to speed things up.

So, thanks to much lower altitude, the last one was completely chased around, but even if I took a large number of enemies and fled to the northern fortress, it was the end of the line that I took the route to the steeper terrain of the demon, fled to the appropriate deep forest, quickly transferred, and now returned safely.

I finally settled down after a little talk.

"Anyway, the enemy is a mess!

That's right!

I want my level to go up a lot.Now we can finally recover the reinforcement system.Then you go back to Bielus and pound the lux.

"But isn't this hand still working?

The danger increases, but it is an ambush from high altitude.Besides, it's not like that at night.That's right, it's as tough as this one, but if enemy interception goes up to a high level, just be alert to some dragons, and if the operation fails or you return, you can do it safely and instantly with the transfer.

"I see. If the enemy doesn't give up, it's worth doing it again."

The problem is that we're the only ones.If anything happens in an attack deep into the enemy line, it will not be recovered.

In Hiragis, there was little reconnaissance of the enemy itself, and this was a complete ambush.However, it is possible that some countermeasures will be taken in the future, and it must be taken into account that a single counterattack will lead to a fatal situation.

Should I have more Fire Magic and Summon Protection?Leave the attack to them... No, that's a pretty bad idea!In the first place, it is not easy to increase the number of protective hands, and it remains a precious existence.

"You're all back safely.Thank goodness! "

Ann came there.Then came the Master and the Elf King and his wife.

"So how was the attack?

Yes, Master asks.

"It's a huge success.Let's go to the hall for now. "

I am at the relocation point of the base.Recently, it has been widely used due to the transfer of 100 people, but it is completely unattended with a liaison staff so that it can be used at any time, and there is no furniture, so it is not a suitable room for rest.

It's a powerful scouting report and reflection meeting in a slow room.

"Let's start from scratch."

I wonder if the first enemy we discovered was five or six kilometers from the fort.

There were about 200,000 hostiles waiting here.

Perhaps it was the place to send troops from the rear main team for a break and formation before departure.It's a waiting area.

"Of course, they were destroyed, right?

"Well, Father. Let's start here."

"But that wasn't the main team.As they scouted, the next unit they discovered was a large unit of between 1 million and 2 million. "

Please note that the number is inaccurate because the scouting is not specialized.Continue to discover troops of the same size.When I heard that King Elf's complexion had deteriorated slightly and that he had discovered more than 10 million troops who were more widely deployed on the plains, I saw the color of upset.

"But the attack was a big success, wasn't it?

"Yes, Father. With more than a dozen shots fired at Massar's Meteor, the enemy is entirely a sea of fire."

We've attacked all of the enemy lines, including the first 200,000, so the enemy will be in trouble by now.It is a forest fire in summer.Don't put out the fire so easily.However, since the main terrain of the main team was the prairie, it was unlikely that a major fire could be expected.

"Will the enemy give up?

"I don't know. I think I could have knocked down about half of them..."

That's how you answer King Elf's questions.Half of them are huge.There is no shortage of combat power to continue the attack.

"If you're going to do something, don't stand up until you take it!

I see. At that time, with all the magic, I will completely destroy you this time. "

I don't feel like attacking again.Thoroughly.

That's how the report and reflection meeting ended, but I still have a long way to go to rest.Despite the night, enemy attacks continue and are not an easy situation, and knowing the number of enemies is too much.

"By the way, what about the outside story?

"You're gonna be okay with what we're talking about."

Answer Ellie's question that way.I don't think it's a good idea to deceive the number of enemies or the state of annihilation, and even if we only share information with the Commander class, it's the Elves, Veterans, and Elite who are in the Northern Fort.Without a strong clamping order, information leakage will not be prevented, and there is little point in preventing it.

"I want you to know exactly what the hostilities are."

I'll tell General Eldo and General Rigoberd right away.

"Tell Barbarossa about our huge battle!

All right. Then keep going back to your defenses.And watch your enemies' movements more than ever and let me know if anything changes. "

There is also the word "bite a cat".I can think of a better way to fight back when I'm furious with my attack.

No, I'm not a squirrel.The number of enemies is still overwhelming us.

"We still have a lot of enemies.Don't just be alarmed. "

Yes, I'll tighten it up, and each one will play their part.Speaking of which, I support you every hour of the night.Five transfers of reinforcements to the Northern Fort.One at the Eastern Fort and one at the Barbarossa Army.

That's why it's morning, but I'm on the lookout for Tirica's army transport operation.

"The Guardian and the Virgin are here to welcome the army."

That's how Ellie and Tirica left.He said he could use my help as soon as he arrived at the northern fort.Well, the situation is under my summons, so I don't have to worry about that.

If something unexpected happens, we will have troops on the northern side of the fort, and we will deploy and rendezvous in the event of an emergency.

"That's why I ask you to organize and direct me."

Yes, I'll ask the sergeant.A handful of elite Swordsmen and Elf Oranges.And it's going to be me and the rest of the party.

There are about 20 people in the avant-garde who seem healthy.I'm planning to fly out with Elf's Wind Spirit, so I can't carry many.Depending on the situation, there is no doubt that the magic firepower will be prioritized over the avant-garde.

I got it.

In this way, the sergeant was accompanied by his escort around the regular northern fort.As expected, there will be no more commotion, but the situation of being targeted by monsters will not change, so I cannot remove the guard with arms.

Miriam followed me all the way, but Sati and Will went to Tirica, and Shiraz turned to Lilia's escort, who was still on the walls.

I have a lot of elf skill for that.This guard is a new member and is still alive.Too few avant-garde, but I can use the sword myself, and I think it's enough.Soldiers or elves are around when I need help, and when it comes to attacking me in the fort, it comes from the sky.There are strong Elves that can be intercepted with bows or magic, and there are also Spirit Guards.

I thought so at that time, and I don't think that decision was wrong.

I didn't have much time to talk in Hiragis, but I spent half a day with the sergeant.There was something I wanted you to discuss because of your mastery of Ochiyo, and you will be able to talk slowly for a long time during the break. As you walk back to your base with that in mind, the woman stood on the side of the road.

It's early in the morning. It is not particularly unusual for exhausted soldiers to fall asleep and rest in the dark.The roads are cooler because the buildings are sluggish and summer.

She looked like a robe, but her body shape was obviously female.The elf of the guard walking in front of me showed a gentle vigilance because she felt suspicious by hiding her face, but when she recognized me, she took off the robe she was wearing.Elves.

"Um, I need to talk to the Guardian...."

Contrary to his faint voice, his eyes emitted a smooth and powerful light.It feels tight, but you're beautiful.

"Hmm, what's wrong?

"The Guardian is busy.Quickly. "

It was a faceless elf, but it wasn't uncommon to send a lot of reinforcements there.I'm sure that's what the guard's elf thought.

"Yes, he was shot several times in a midnight ambush."

Sweet fragrance that drifts slightly.Are you wearing perfume?You have breasts for an elf.

"Yeah, that's it?

The woman takes one or two steps.He walked to the middle of the road to get us through.A tingling sensation. What is it, man?

"No doubt, the Guardian?

"Yes, but...."

It's an elf asking weird questions.It was already too late when I thought so.

"This guy!?Dark Ell...... f...... "

One of the guards said so and collapsed trying to get out before.

I see, I see.It was you who defeated King Lu Turtle in the Elves, bathed Meteor many times, and now you have ravaged my army on your own. "

Until then, the dark elf said with a strange voice.Dark Elves!?

"And I didn't know it was a brave man.I'm surprised there's a hero coming out of the elf. "

He tries to put his hand on the sword, but his hand is numb and does not move. On the contrary, he has no power in his feet, and he kneels down.

"Doesn't it work?Don't worry about it.This is just a numbness medicine.I will recover immediately. "

Even around them, the guards collapsed.

"The nice thing about this guy is that he inhibits magic.And even spirits will be completely disabled. "

That's the sweet smell!Magic? Magic, antidote magic... no.Just trying to gather magic makes my body tingle like electricity ran through it.Even my voice is numb and I can't speak properly.

"How much have you lost?Now you will be rewarded here. "

The Dark Elves are definitely after me.Understood that, and the elves raised voices that could not be heard at all.

"You should watch your precious brave men being killed, lying there unusually.Hahahahahaha! "

That said, he walked in front of me and kicked the fallen elf in the way.

"Oh? Don't try to stand still.But I can't move properly anymore. "

It was the Sergeant who stood beside me.Moreover, the sword was firmly held in his hand.That's how you carry your feet forward to protect me.

"Did you smoke too much paralyzed poison, or are you resistant?

The Dark Elf approached the Sergeant with a calm move and waved his sword.Kim, the sword is broken.The sword was swinging again, but it was also prevented by the Sergeant's minimal sword movement.

"Is that swordsmanship under Kensei's command?Bad. But the poison works pretty well, doesn't it?

The Dark Elf's serious sword was a skill by Bielus standards.The sergeant will be torn apart before Mirimi sees it.I have managed to endure it.but....

"We don't have time. Knock it down!

A blow from the Dark Elf penetrates the Sergeant's Leather Armor deeply.Apparent fatal wound. The sergeant who stood until the end finally fell on his knees.

Seeing the sight, there was nothing I could do.

My body doesn't move. I can't use magic either.I can't even call for help.

If you can use one shot of a flare arrow, it's like this!

But... are you sure you can't use magic?Every time I try to concentrate my magic, my body starts to numb.But it has magic. It's not gone.It's there without concentrating.Then you can use it.I can't expect any control, but...

"It took an unexpected amount of time"

That's what Dark Elf said, he put his newly removed dagger in my reach.

Here it is.

"Me too..." (Burn!!!

For a moment, a huge fire column blew up in front of me.There's no control, just fire.But it's a powerful flame created by my powerful magic!

"Gyaaaaaaaa!?

The flame enveloped the dark elf.I myself bathed the flame properly over my armor.The effect of releasing magic by force, or numbness and pain that suffice to stop breathing through your body.Dark Elves retreated staggering back.

"Come, you. Kisa, sooooooooo!

Damn, I couldn't beat him.After all, fire alone is completely lacking in firepower.

"What, there's a fire over here... people?... the elves are down!

Someone noticed the fire, but my hearing detector caught me faintly.All right, that'll help.

"... this dagger contains an instant poison.You die here. "

If you say so, you approach me with a quick move.

"!? Don't disturb me, I'm dying!

The sergeant, who was supposed to have fallen on his leg, was assembled.

"Son of a bitch!

The sergeant will wave his poisonous dagger down again and again.But the sergeant won't leave without assembling.

Sergeant!? Again.Fire!

But it was the pitiful, tiny flame of the fist that was produced by enduring the numbness.It's not even close to the Dark Elves.

Still, the Dark Elves panicked and the attack stopped.

"The Guardian is down!Hostile attack! Hostile attack!!

Help. Even the most immediate poisonous poison is still in time.With my powerful healing magic and antidote.

Fire!

It worked this time!It is about the first half, but a flame that seems to have attack power will burn up.

"Chi"

The Dark Elf's move to avoid my flames finally exhausted the Sergeant and his hands fell to the ground without strength.But I finally came to help.

"Poison!? Blow it in the wind!That woman standing is the enemy, shoot!Fire! "

Avoiding flying arrows, Dark Elves jumped on a quickly collapsing building.

"I will thank you for this burnt face."

He disappeared when he said so.

"Go after him, don't let him escape!

The butterfly and footsteps are disturbed in the back.Then a wind blew through.The sweet smell disappears.

Paralysis... damn it.When do you expect to recover soon!?The sergeant, who is bleeding a lot in front of him, is no longer twitching.

"Someone's bleeding, call a healer!

My body is still numb.I can't concentrate as much magic as I think.Is the healer still there?The healing hub is so far from here....

"Masal!?

It's not Masal, it's the Guardian... but it's Ann.Thank goodness.

"Lord Vault!?

"Oh, I'm, uhh..."

Appeal to Ann with a narrow voice.

"Well, the poison....."

"Okay, and the antidote."

As soon as I said so, I activated the heel that I was chanting to the sergeant.The aftermath, the range effect, the pain in my face burns will also be lighter.And then I began to chant the magic of detoxification.

Cure Poison!

The numbness finally came out.That's the magic of the Virgin's healing.

"Sergeant, come on!

He crawled up to the sergeant and approached him as he stood.Ann's detoxification must have been successful.The extra-heel chant begins.

"Masal"

Shut up. Focus is disturbed.Activate!

There is no change. Wasn't enough?Damn, the burnt and deformed helm is in the way of my vision.Take off the helm and throw it away.Now the light of miracles...

"Masal... I can't do this anymore"

"That's what this is all about!

"The dead will not live again.There's nothing Masal can do about it..... "

Miracle Light, activate!

But the sergeant never twitched, and his eyes never opened.Look at Ann stunned.

Ann shook her head and knelt down, straightening and politely arranging the sergeant's lying body, even though it was painted with blood.

"Did Lord Vauck fight bravely?

"Ah, ah. Protect me."

"A final blessing to Lord Vault, the warrior of God.And may he be summoned to God without hesitation, and may he rest in peace. "

I could only watch Ann praying with that.
