It goes beyond the great snow mountain, also known as the spiritual peak, and the high mountains called in the east.

Then the landscape changed from place to place.

Until then, trees were growing in the snow landscape, but gradually large rocks appeared to roll.

The land is also raised and uneven.

Somehow, this is it.

It seems to be like a grand canyon.

If there was a village of Atmos ahead of here, I knew it would be difficult to secure satisfactory food here.

I think I know a little why Atmos warriors went to the battlefield for their lives as mercenaries.

"I see it, Ars. You can get down from there. If we go further, there must be a guard guarding Atmos' village."

"All right, let's keep going. All units prepare for battle and take the lead by launching attacks as they are. Think of everything that moves as an enemy."

If this was Fontana or another noble opponent, he might have declared war or made a pretext for the war.

But I didn't do it here.

After all, it's not a time for decent diplomatic negotiation.

Moreover, the other party is unaware of our presence.

Well, I wanted to set up a raid now and get things moving while it was still a little bit advantageous.

There are few trees, and probably no snow, the rock skins run down to the bottom of the Great Valley, following the scout's lead.

And then he went further and further.

If you keep running for a while, you'll see something.

Unlike brown rock and snow, this is a man-made building.

A luggage truck that carries people and things that come out of there.

We approached there at full speed.

What, you guys!! Stop, or I'll shoot. "

"!? Attention all troops, they have something. Probably some flying gear."

Shoot, Guard, attack that unidentified army.

"Coming, Valkyrie, keep it on the wall. Intercept with magic, everyone."

The opponent has done something against the Oriental Expeditionary Army, which is infiltrating the entire army.

Seen from a distance, the soldiers who came out of the building and stuff had something in their hands.

... is that a wand?

From what I've seen, there's something magical on the cane.

The opponent put magic into it by pointing it towards the tip of the wand.

Zudong!!

At the next moment, something fired from the cane collides with the walls of the Wall Architecture by Valkyrie, which was built in advance of the army.

Is that a rock?

A rock larger than a man's head was fired from the tip of the cane and flew towards us.

Definitely.

Now they definitely didn't cast a spell.

fired a large rock and attacked.

Moreover, all the soldiers with the cane on the spot attacked in the same way.

Apparently, it's a kind of magic weapon.

And it's a pretty strong attack.

I could make rocks, too, but making soil in empty spaces away from the ground was inefficient.

For this reason, I have created a magic spell called Shotgun that fires a small but sharp and hard stone.

But that wand probably only used magic to enable a magical attack of more than [Shotgun].

Moreover, the performance of the cane is not the only problem.

Rather, the problem lies in that number.

The opponent has gathered more than 10,000 troops to defend the land.

And as far as I could see, many soldiers were holding the staff.

That means that the soldiers here may be able to attack everyone with that magical weapon.

... that's like a gun.

When I saw the first shot, I unexpectedly thought so.

A mass-produced weapon capable of performing a powerful and uniform attack with only a trigger of magic.

It takes the form of a cane, but it is definitely a dangerous weapon.

Perhaps the Brillian Magic Nation and the others attacked Atmos' village and captured it to make that weapon.

According to Tanatos, there are spirits of the earth in the land of Atmos, and they call it stones.

Sula said the Brillian Magic Nation was mining it and transporting it somewhere.

And something like a magic stone on the tip of a staff held by a guard soldier here.

Somehow, I think the Spirit Stone collected in the village of Atmos is like a magic stone of earth attributes.

I wonder if it is used as a magical weapon of the wand as a result of some kind of treatment.

... no, that doesn't make sense.

No matter how troublesome that wand may be, it doesn't seem to be enough to keep Atmos warriors from taking back the land.

I don't think there's anything yet.

That's what I thought.

Magic Weapon, here it comes. It can be activated at any time.

Okay, I don't know who this is, but kick those cavalry off. Allow the use of magic weapons. "

While dodging the first rock attack with the wall, we penetrate the soldiers from the nearby building and launch the attack as well.

This is a horned Valkyrie, so it's a little difficult to handle weapons.

Therefore, I carried out magical attacks such as Ice Spear .

The opponent was a little surprised that they were attacking from their cane or, conversely, were attacking with their bare hands.

In such a skirmish, reinforcements came from another direction.

In my concentrated ear, I heard a word from the east that I'm not used to hearing.

A magic weapon, perhaps?

What is that? There was something incredible when I looked at it with my voice in my mind.

"Rock... giant...? Not like a mud doll. You don't think people are piloting this thing?

There was a giant of rocks about three or four meters tall.

I am not a warrior of Atmos.

If Tanatos had become a giant, it would have been a big man.

But it was obviously not the person in front of me right now.

A statue of a giant made of rock.

But it's not like the mud doll in the Nelson wetlands.

It's not just a monster like a mud doll because it's called a magic weapon, it's a weapon made by someone's hand.

What's going on, Gran?

Something like Golem that you can't do is practical in the East.

It's called a wand, it's called a magic weapon, and I'm just surprised to see a surprising alternative.

But we can't stop.

If we don't deal a clear blow here, we won't even be able to retreat.

So, surprised by the opponent's unexpected combat power, I pulled Valkyrie's strings and ran towards the new opponent.
