The Far East battle was changing dramatically.

Until now, the Arnold kingdom side has been completely pushed, often turning backwards, but now it is being held back. No, they even say that the Royal Army has a share in the momentum alone.

That is nothing from an optimistic point of view. The Royal Army has thoroughly analyzed the opponent's movements and continues to destroy each. The person at the center was gradually showing the head angle.

Ice Sword Magician - Lydia Einsworth.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the talent has already awakened and that thanks to her the war situation has changed in a great and good direction. Lydia now continues to demonstrate her strength by joining another Royal Army unit while maintaining her presence in the Special Selection Unit, Astral.

War needed a hero.

It should be said to be a symbol of the Royal Army. Obviously, after Lydia became prominent on the front lines, the other soldiers moved better.

Fortune or misfortune, the magicians who fought on the front lines, including Lydia, evolved through the battle. We've been fighting each other's lives for almost a year. Wherein the weak are eliminated, and the strong survive.

Lydia continues to pull the line in a world of weak eating.

"Go ahead!!!!!

Uooooooooooooooooo!!!!

After the deaths of the dark blue sorcerer and the thunderbolt sorcerer, morale was thought to have declined considerably. But Lydia took the opportunity to make a big leap. While raising the morale of his allies, he also goes to the battlefield to achieve overwhelming results.

The Ice Sword sorcerer's name is already inscribed on the enemy as the object of fear. The opponent tried to fight back, but none of the opponents to Lydia now appeared on the stage at least for the time being.

"Ray, it looks like Einsworth is doing something fantastic."

"Howard. That's right, Master is amazing."

Operations Base HQ. So Ray was compiling the report by himself. Go to the front line with her and continue to support her. That said, in his case, he is not on the front. I have just said that he plays the role of the so-called "scorn" and supports Lydia in shadow.

The Special Selection Unit "Astral" has not been disbanded, but it has not gathered and operated in this state of war. Now is the time to push further, and a new unit is being assembled around Lydia.

They include Delk and Howard, but others are fighting on a different battlefield. But it was a sign of a good trend.

The Special Selection Unit, Astral, is dispersed, but the army is functioning well. Rather, it was becoming a cornerstone of the Royal Army's offensive and defense by being able to assign talented personnel to each.

In a few moments, we will be able to win completely. That was the expectation of the upper ranks of the Royal Army.

"How's Ray?

"I'm mainly in charge of reprimands now. Mr. Flor and I are gathering intel on the enemy."

I see. You guys went well together. "

That's right.

Ray and Flor were gathering information about each other, not just one. In the first place, data analysis is Flor's specialty. But she lacks a little combat power to bring herself to the front line. That's why Ray's in there as a supporter.

Not as prominent as Lydia, but his presence became indispensable to the Royal Army.

"So, what's the status of the war?

Howard asks, but for his part, he expected some answers. Soldiers have high morale and win all fights. Without asking again, Howard dared to ask Ray to make sure of it.

"The war is not bad."

"Not bad...? Don't you think it's good?"

"I still think there's something suspicious about me."

"Is this about the blue blue and thunder?

"Yes. The opponent must have enough power to destroy that unit. But I haven't had the luxury of putting it into practice in the last few months. I've been vigilant, but I think they're going to set it up somewhere."

"It's a boulder, Ray...."

Ray was thinking deeply, or she was murmuring and organizing the information into a notebook again. He was originally smart. Besides, it has excellent combat ability.

I'm not scared at all on this battlefield. Rather, he was perfectly familiar with it, and Ray was showing great adaptability in Far East operations like this one.

"Tomorrow is the front line, too?

"Yeah, Howard?

"I'm a backup backup."

I see. I think there will be times when I gather in the Special Selection Unit "Astral". I'm counting on you. "

"Yeah, see you later, Ray."

Match your fist with the trick. No matter how painful the battlefield was, they were clearly willing to perform the task before them.

And I didn't say anything, but I believed each other. I'm sure we'll continue on the same path ahead.

But Ray will find out later about the ruthlessness of reality.

Beyond the mountains, the forest area was expanding as far as the eye could see. There was also a river, which was now completely flooded by heavy rain.

The next day, as Howard said yesterday, he was backing up. It's quite a distance from the front lines, but it's also important to protect this place. No matter how low the danger, I cannot be alarmed.

The enemy soldier leaked out of the front line.

However, due to flooding and heavy rain, the visibility is not sufficient. The opponent was gradually being pushed into battle.

"Don't be pushed!! I can give it back enough!!

Howard, who leads this unit, speaks up. With this, the morale of the soldiers also increases.

This fight will be over again... that's what I thought at this time.

"Eh...?

"Ha...?

"Well, why...?

I heard a voice behind Howard. Turn around. His sights almost disappeared of those who had fought behind him.

There was still deep redness on the ground. The red blood flows mixed with the rain. And the people who were there just now were bursting from the inside... in a spectacular way of dying.

I didn't have time to scream.

"Hah... this is it. Looks like it'll be easier this time."

A girl standing.

The golden hair is tied together in a twin tail at a high position on the left and right. The costume was somehow wearing a bright red dress, which completely reflected the rain. It doesn't look wet at all.

Probably using magic, but the moment Howard saw the girl... he raised his voice to the greatest danger of his life.

"Run Ooooooooooo!!!!! Back up!!!!

A moment of complexity.

Howard's judgment was slightly faster than hers. And the soldiers who perceived the voice immediately ran away like rabbits. I assumed it would be a case like this, thanks to sharing it with the troops.

"Oh, you're making a quick decision. Well, come on. After I killed you, I killed them all."

I don't think it's a girl's word. No, Howard understood that the girl standing in front of him wasn't just a girl.

I can see.

Howard was staring at the seven sages, the girl, so that he wouldn't miss a moment's behavior.

─ ─ This place needs to be completely stopped.

And he understood that he needed to buy time. The people who have already fled will be able to tell Operations what's going on. And all we have to do is wait for backup.

Lydia's unit, if we can handle it. Or ray. Anyway, we have to stay on the line here alone until we get enough power.

Until now, there have been many dead lines. Howard was confident that he had survived that. I promise, I will defend this place.

"Hmm. Nice face, but...."

For a moment.

I do not fully understand the magical signs. I have no idea how the opponent's magic works. In the first place, I don't know how to do the divinity of exploding humans from the inside.

But there are principles, there are procedures.

When Howard felt his instinct dictating the coordinates to him, he hurried forward. Then, when the space in which he was until a second ago was distorted, he could play it all at once.

"Apparently it's not acting directly on the human body...."

Analyze calmly.

Start by analyzing your enemies' abilities and how to fight with your own hands. Think about it. Howard was Clever. Even in this situation, think calmly about what you can do without cowardice.

"Ha ha. Are you strong?

"Now... how about that?

Let's laugh.

Feer's distorted expression feels chilly, but Howard once again deepens his thoughts.

I understood intuitively. Perhaps the opponent was the enemy who slaughtered the dark blue and thunder. The condition of the body at that time and any signs of battle. Having accumulated it as data, he soon began to figure out how to fight the opponent.

Destroying the opponent in this fight is not a winning condition.

Buying time and waiting for your allies to arrive are the conditions for victory. Understanding it again, he laughed.

"Let's dance together, shall we?

"I really like you. Okay, I'll dance for you."

Thus did Howard's lifelong battle come to an end.
