Isaac

Gates are opened and closed. If you just ignore it, there's no way out of this forbidden land, so I'm just going to waste my time and withdraw, and there's no reason to bleed.

In Isaac's words, Magellan frowns.

“Of course you can't be sure. ”

“Huh? For what? ”

“The gate has been closed for a long time, but can you guarantee it will be again? What if it's not? We've been attacking and evacuating for a long time. What if we could keep the gate intact, but we just evacuated it because sending more troops is pointless? ”

“…… that makes sense. ”

Magellan said it was the same last time, so I thought it would be the same again, but I couldn't risk taking over the forbidden land because the expedition was so fucked up.

“But how did you try to stop it? ”

“What do you mean? ”

“If the expedition came, how would you fight it? ”

“Of course I tried to hit their center. ”

“Just shut up and charge? Is that all?"

“We're supposed to break through enemy lines of defense while magically defending from afar, but few know how to use ranged magic. Fortunately, there's only a few Secret Service agents on it. ”

In Magellan's words, Isaac stares at Magellan and asks, "What kind of nonsense is this?"

“No, wait, you're going into an all-out war, not a special war? ”

“We lack ranged firepower, but the expedition is vulnerable to approach. ”

“That doesn't mean you're going to charge? ”

Magellan says, guessing at Isaac's face what he's thinking.

“Do you think our long-range weapons will work? ”

“It can't work……. ”

Fighting an armed soldier with modern equipment with arrows or siege weapons cannot do any harm. Arrows are enough if you block them, and you can intercept with a catapult.

“Magic is all that can be used, but compared to the weapons of the expedition, fire and speech are inexhaustible. In the end, only access was possible, but until the coat was developed, we had to make a tremendous sacrifice. Now, thanks to the performance of the coat, survival is maximized, which reduces damage. ”

“So you tried to charge again? ”

Magellan nods silently, and Isaac's expression crumples.

“Let's get this straight. Let's wait until the expedition is over and ready to defend, wait for our troops to regroup, then march, and say," Wow! Kill them! Defend the world! And then you're gonna run off into the melee, right? ”

Magellan nods, puckering her eyes to see if Isaac doesn't like Isaac's exaggerated pose, and Isaac sighs with his arms crossed. Magellan gives you an unpleasant look as if you knew what Isaac was thinking.

“Did you think we were just foolish enough to charge? ”

“Wasn't it? When the gate was open, you said Mana would get sucked. ”

“What did you learn... Oh, you didn't learn anything, did you? ”

“That's a sneaky remark. ”

Isaac frowns slightly and grumbles, but Magellan takes a sip of water and says,

“The queen found that Mana is inversely proportional to the amount of Mana that disappears over time, but the stable stone shows the same flow regardless of the time. That means it's a fight if there's enough horseshoes. ”

“Even with a small force against the regular army... ”

Isaac mutters reluctantly, and Magellan grins.

“By the way, your weapon of the world, is it designed to be used against humans? ”

“That's right.”

“He is the man of your world, isn't he? ”

“They're all the same people. ”

“Different. We have Mana. ”

“What's the difference? Everything you eat and chew will be the same. ”

In Isaac's wake, people look down, and Magellan looks at Isaac pitifully again.

“If it's the same, how come the expedition from the gate is intact? ”

“Oh… is that so? ”

“You know why I'm afraid of the Sword Master? ”

“Maybe it's because you're strong. ”

“Not the answer I was looking for, but I'm as strong as you say. What do you think that strength is? The Sword Master can break through the line of defense of the expedition without wearing a coat. ”

“…… is it true? ”

She nods silently, looking back at Lillia as if she didn't believe what Magellan had said.

“That's not all. It is the Master of the Sword that can cut through the gloves of equipment your world uses. ”

“Wait. You're just gonna cut through the metal plates of a chariot or armored car? ”

What kind of Jedi master cuts a blade out of a man's thick metal plate? It's a magical world, isn't it?

“That's why the odds are good enough. There are guards and Libya. Fortunately, the stable is well maintained. All you have to do is hit and drop and hold off until reinforcements arrive. ”

“I'm sure you can. Why haven't you used that method before? ”

With Isaac's point, Magellan's expression changes, and she hesitates for a while and says quietly.

“It's because the cost of all-out war is about three to five times less. ”

“…… that's why it's realistic and convincing. ”

After all, it was much cheaper to wait and sweep them all away than to catch a tribe crawling out of the gate.

In Isaac's words, Magellan blushes slightly and clears her throat a few times.

“Still, even if you're not as close to the Sword Master, Liberia, the Central combatants can dodge bullets easily. I shot your men. You know that. ”

“But how many did you catch? ”

Magellan frowns to see if she doesn't like Isaac's catch, but she has no choice but to ignore the situation.

“It was mostly freshmen who had just graduated. If you were a veteran operative familiar with firearms, you wouldn't have died, even if you were wearing a protective coat with an artificial stallion. In fact, they were all rookies back then. ”

“What? You didn't have to tell me not to? ”

“Central will tolerate such insanity! ”

“Now comes the color... …. ”

With Isaac's grumbling, Magellan was feeling dizzy and pressed against the rising depression.

“By the way, I added the performance of my coat to my superior physical abilities to increase my protection. What do you think the Sword Master could do without a proper range attack? ”

A lot.

Honestly, the vehicles in that warehouse have enough manpower. Having just one maneuver, not walking, reminds me of an infinite number of ways to bully those who are tied to their feet because I have to defend the gate, but I have tens of thousands of other maneuvers combined, and now I don't have time to waste having these conversations out of my mouth.

“So what are your chances of success? ”

“ ……. ”

“Wow! You're not sure this guy's going to work, now, are you? ”

“No, it's because there are too many variables. I've never tried it before, so if the Stone is consumed much faster than the calculation, there is no way to fight the expedition after the Mana Absorption Zone is gone. And once pushed, there is no escape beyond the overwhelming difference in maneuverability. ”

“By the way, why is there no transportation here? ”

“Animals that are not intelligent glow like crazy when they enter the forbidden land. ”

According to Magellan, Isaac sighs. I only believe in the stable people.When the stable pebbles run out, I have to bounce, but I can't spit because of the difference in manpower.

However, if we wait until the Mana Absorption Zone disappears and then attack, by that time, the power difference will already be overwhelming, so there is no way.

It makes sense that Sores insisted that we run away with evil. It's no joke to be agricultural against the modern army. You cannot do it because you are the only person with a long drive licence who can keep the maneuver in check.

Battle or retreat? What are the damages and benefits for each situation? Enemy forces and allies? What will happen next? From a short-term, medium-term or long-term perspective, what are the most favorable choices?

Isaac suddenly remembered, "Yikes! ’I shouted in a loud applause.

“Hold on, now that you mention it, she's a sod master, too. Wow! That's enough scratching. If I do something wrong, I'll lose my neck. ”

“…… is that all you care about right now? ”

Isaac suddenly seems to be thinking of something with a serious look on his face. Magellan, who was watching nervously, gives a hollow look and gives a big nod as if it were natural.

“That's the most important problem. If this girl keeps it stacked up and then explodes at once, I'm the only one who sees blood. ”

Then why don't we just leave it alone? 'The door of the control room slammed when everyone thought,’ Bam! ’I opened with a loud voice.

“What's all this commotion! ”

People bowed to the old man as soon as they saw the old man rushing in, covered in dust.

“Commander! ”

"Hoho?"

But I think I did one right. One of the commanders appeared, a group of misfits.

"Yeah, they're idiots. ’

As he murmurs in his mind, the old commander Noxville walks forward, staring at Magellan and Libya, expressing his respects, and saying to Isaac,

“An uninvited guest who said you were the head of security or something. ”

“You see.”

Isaac shrugs and says Knoxville doesn't like it. He shoots Isaac once and shouts at the men in the control room.

“What did you do to prepare for the evacuation? Move now! Burn the important documents and destroy the rest of the gear! Hurry! We're getting out of here before the gate opens. ”

“Commander! ”

Magellan cries out in anger at Knoxville's command. Knoxville looked at Hillgeek Magellan and said,

“Lord Magellan, I understand your feelings, but this is a fight you cannot win. ”

“You don't know that! If you're a combat trooper, there are guards. As long as there's a Commander in there with Deputy Director Liberia, it's worth fighting for! ”
