― ― Persuade the soldiers.

That's what I said. We'll climb up the tower with Nastasia.

"Wind Curtain!"

Arriving on the rooftop of the tower, Laura unfolds the wind curtain in case of fire.

... I don't think we'll ever hurt a royal opponent like that.

"Let's go, Nastasia!"

Follow Rio and Mio left and right as Nastasia approaches the edge of the tower.

Underneath the tower, the soldiers were scrambling.

"Give me back the princess!"

"Bandits! I don't think you're safe!"

"Let me show you the power of the Emegis Knight!"

The knights are raising their voices and threatening.

There you go.

"Stay down!"

Nastasia's sip echoed.

The voice was sufficiently pressurized to be transmitted to my skin.Probably the same for people other than me.

It is the impetus of the royals - the ones who were born and taught to stand at the top of the country.

The knights lost their words in just one word.

"Thank you for your loyalty and your thoughts about me.But don't make a mistake.It was the Count who tried to sink me, and these people helped me! "

Eh, and the knights leak a surprise voice.

Nastasia continued without hesitation.

"Knight of Emegis! If you want to show your loyalty to the kingdom, know that the blade should be pointed at Count Grad Emegis!"

The words roared like thunder.

The knights spoke to each other.

"Emegis-sama...?"

"Impossible....."

"No, but what is the princess saying?"

The upset is spreading.

So one of the knights raised his voice.

"Master Nastasia, we are the swords of the kingdom before we are the servants of the Count!I would like to pledge my sword for you! "

But he and the knight went on.

"But the story of Count Emegis trying to sink the princess can't be believed right now!If we make a mistake, we could be punished by the Count! "

Don't worry about that.

Nastasia kicks at the knight's words.

"If it is a mistake, I will bear all the blame.I promise you that there is nothing wrong with you. "

Nastasia cut to the chase.

... you've got a lot of guts...

The words undoubtedly cut off the knights' confusion.At this moment, indeed, the knights' hearts leaned towards one side.

"I declare in the name of this Nastasia Valentianu!Justice is ours!Justice is here!Sacrifice your sword for the royal family, knight of Emegis!Now is the time to show your loyalty! "

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!"

The knights raised their swords and shouted at Nastasia's words.

It appears that the Knights' persuasion was successful.

It was very significant that we were able to convert this number of knights from enemies to allies without blood.All we have to do is hunt down the Count and Forth.

As soon as we were wrapped up in the air of relief...

"─!?"

An abnormality occurred.

Scale flour rose from the bodies of the knights.The expression has turned into madness.There was a raging noise coming from my mouth.

... this is...

I don't even remember. Exactly what Rafen looked like in the mine.Perhaps Forth set something up.

Hyun!

Suddenly a crossbow arrow flew in.It was aimed at Nastasia, but it was hit by Laura's wind curtain.

Nastasia held her head.

"Ehhhhhhh!?What is this!? My divine persuasion is ruined!? "

"Princess, behind you!"

Rio and Mio pulled Nastasia back.

Instead, I stepped forward.

Below the tower lies the knights in black scales.Fan around the tower entrance.

... I see, it's hardened to a certain extent. It's convenient.

I heard Laura from behind.

"Mr. Alberto! What should we do!?To purify this number with Alberto's magic arrow... "

... if you don't mind taking the time, there's also a way to do magic arrows individually.This time it will be bad. Surrounded by knights invaded by darkness, it is only dangerous for one knight to return to normal.

I want to sacrifice less knights...

If you want to put it back, you have to target a wide area in one shot.

Can you do that?

I can.

I can do it now.

Because I got the potential for a new magic arrow.

--Well, today's lesson is the New Magic Split Barrett.

A new magic that Philbus taught me in a second semester class.I can only use magic arrows. It doesn't make any sense to me.

I wondered if I could convert it into a magic arrow.

And it's done.

A split barrel divides a bullet into multiple smaller bullets.

I can split and release my magic arrow.Perfect for when you want to target a wide area like this.

I turned my hand to the knights in black scales.

"Magic Arrow"
