Lesson 227: Ant Kingdom Medium

* Condorato Perspective

"Here comes the enemy. This time it's Soldiers Ant-Man, a regiment of ants including Cavalry Ant-Man (Ryder Ant-Man), Archer Ant-Man (Archer Ant-Man), and Magician Ant-Man (Magician Ant-Man)."

I was confronted by a group of nearly a thousand demons at the foot of a hilly area where the sun was setting and darkness began to cover the area. The Ants seemed to have positioned us as adversaries and had weapons in their hands. Over the years, we have been crusading demons, but the demon Ant-Man was a demon that lived only in the southern part of the country and had never been seen anywhere else.

This Southern Expedition was able to identify enemy demons because Alfonso had also purchased information from the Hunter Alliance and information that Alfonso had interviewed in advance from the demon hunters. In that sense, the southern region was a special area inhabited by numerous demons not seen elsewhere.

"The Ant Corps Soldiers Ant-Man is a class S crusader… surely this number can only be hunted down by skilled demon hunters"

He watched Soldiers Ant-Man and the rest of the army of Ants at the end of his gaze as Alfonso flaunted his glasses.

"Calm down. The walls are already more than half complete. Send the seriously wounded back to the castle. The rest of you, put up a long spear and a shield and form a five-row formation."

At my behest, the soldiers begin to move in unison, lined up with shields, sticking out long spears and forming formations. This movement had been trained many times, and the soldiers were able to move naturally. This formation and equipment was tipped by Master Kent, and the long spears equipped by the soldiers were made three times longer than the officially equipped spears of the Royal Army. Meanwhile, the shield was not officially employed as personal portable equipment in the Royal Army, but Master Kent was forced to upgrade it to formal equipment and all soldiers were equipped with a large, assembly-style shield.

"Put up the spear! Poke it!"

An officer in the front row sends instructions to the soldiers. Follow the instructions to form a spear three times longer than normal. An army ant approaching to attack a soldier in the front row gets a sharp spear tip and splashes black fog around. Still, the enemy soldier Ant-Man (Soldier Ant-Man) was about to go in without looking frightened.

"Press the front row! Second row! Punch it!"

At the instruction of an officer, a second column of soldiers protrudes with full force toward the head of an army ant that is being attacked by soldiers in the front row. The head of an army ant was pierced by a spear and blew up.

"... enemy approaching at higher speeds than the left wing! I think it's a group of about fifty cavalry ants."

I found a group of people running over with more sand smoke than the left wing side, and I immediately give instructions to the officer in command of the left wing.

"Stand your shield diagonally in a low position and let the spear stick out diagonally. Never let them fall apart."

My instructions are conveyed, and a left-wing soldier lowers his posture and sticks out a spear diagonally, waiting for the Cavalry Ant-Man (Ryder Ant-Man) to storm. Cavalry Ant-Man (Ryder Ant-Man), who knows nothing, rushed in even faster to punch the soldiers in the front row.

Then, when a ridden cavalry ant-Man (Ryder Ant-Man) jumps into the left wing, a nearby soldier sticks a knife under his chin and gives him a todome when a cavalry ant-Man (Ryder Ant-Man) is thrown out onto the ground with a blunt collision sound stabbed by an army ant-Man on top. Cavalry Ant-Man (Ryder Ant-Man), who was torn apart from the steeple, remained deadly with his hands and legs slammed.

The Cavalry Ant-Men (Ryder Ant-Man) who failed to enter lost their rides one after the other, getting slapped down on the ground and sticking a knife under their chin. The Cavalry Ant-Man (Ryder Ant-Man) who entered the left flank had no effect whatsoever, and were taken over unharmed.

"All right, let's get the left wing ready."

As I was giving instructions to the officer, an arrow swept my face away. Apparently, a large number of Cavalry Ant-Men (Ryder Ant-Man) have been defeated, causing enemy demon groups to take a long shot. At the same time as the arrows pour, the fireball-like magic begins to land. Archer Ant-Man (Archer Ant-Man) and Magic Ant-Man (Magician Ant-Man) in the rear were trying to inflict some damage on the soldiers.

A nearby soldier falls under an arrow in his chest after an attack from a distance. At that moment, the officers in close quarters were shielding me nearby to protect me.

"You don't have to protect me. I can protect myself. If we're surrounded by shields, we can't confirm the situation, so stop it."

When I tell the officer of the Kingsamurai who is trying to protect me with his shield to back off, he pulls out his sword and chops off the arrow that is about to come down. That's when mirrored communications were sent from the rear of the enemy group. The Lord of Communications was Arne's cavalry. Finally, the rendezvous command arrived in the area.

"Communicator, tell Arne, 'Break into the back, disrupt the enemy forces'. We will respond to Arne's entry and push the enemy out."

An instructed communications officer manipulates the mirror and sends instructions to Arne and the others. The sun was already setting, and communication by mirror was now our last chance. Just as we were fighting the Ant Corps Soldiers Ant-Man in the hilly valley, Arne's cavalry, who received correspondence, rushes down from the hills behind us. At the beginning, the heavy cavalry led by Auslones was stirring his horseshoe with fierce momentum.

When Authrones enters from behind, he plays the Archer Ant-Man (Archer Ant-Man) and the Magician Ant-Man (Magician Ant-Man) and lays the fallen Ant-Man under his horseshoe. The completely unexpectedly dressed ants saw confusion when they stayed.

"Now! Left-wing and right-wing soldiers advance their steps and push and wrap up enemy groups! Siege your enemies in the crane wing formation!

In response to the instructions, the soldiers begin to move from the formation to the formation of the crane wings. In the meantime, Arne's light cavalry also enters and the confusion of the enemy group widens. The Ant Corps, Soldiers Ant-Man, was in the extreme of confusion, and my soldiers spread over the crane wings, one soldier after the other, Ant-Man (Soldiers Ant-Man) and Cavalry Ant-Man (Ryder Ant-Man), had been seized and sprayed with black fog.

By taking out a large number of demons, the black fog filled the area and made my vision worse. There was a large anthropomorphic individual who broke through by knocking down a central soldier. When I saw it, I was forcing six army ants to pull a carriage-like object and wave a large shield and a great sword to break through without keeping the soldiers close.

"I will discuss the individual. Others take out the other ants."

"Master Condorato! That won't happen! The general hits one horse and more!

I shake off Alfonso's restraint and bring him in for a single ride with the Kingsguard Ant-Man (Guard Ant-Man), who I believe leads the Ant Corps, Soldiers Ant-Man, who enters when I let him run the horse. My favorite sword was slashed into the right shoulder of the Kingsguard Ant-Man (Guard Ant-Man) when the blade tip could not be slipped and cleaved by the epidermis.

... Normally attacks don't make sense in my arms...

When you know that a normal attack will not make it through, use your sword tip to pull out the sword flash (Sword Thrash) and fire it at the Kingsguard Ant-Man. However, when a sword flash (sword slash) hit the shield held by the Kingsguard Ant-Man, it was scratched off.

The Kingsguard Ant-Man pointed his double-eyed eye at me like he was proud to win. And he comes swinging his great sword down against me.

Though I managed to avoid slaughter, it was going to take awhile for my body to collapse and get back on its feet.

"Protect General Condorato! If the slaughter doesn't make sense, hit him with a hammer."

A corporal who was gathering soldiers nearby drove and instructed the soldiers to carry out a hammer strike on the Kingsguard Ant-Man. Those around them who chose the hammer with their personal equipment entered and shook the hammer down to the Kingsguard Ant-Man.

In the meantime, having succeeded in getting in shape, I turn my attack target into an army ant used instead of riding a horse and carry out a slaughter. The Kingsguard Ant-Man (Guard Ant-Man) was slight in their attack, but the attack did not appear to have made sense. Eventually, the Kingsguard Ant-Man (Guard Ant-Man), who lost his mobility when he defeated an army ant on horseback, felt disadvantaged and moved on to flee.

"Shit, I can get away"

A familiar voice stopped him when he tried to run horseback riding to block the Kingsguard Ant-Man (Guard Ant-Man) who had moved on the run.

"Father! Out of the way!

The Lord of the Voice was Arne. Turning to the voice, the gun cavalry set up a demon gun and targeted the Kingsguard Ant-Man. I saw that. I immediately stopped pursuing and stopped the horse.

Tatan, Tata, Tata.

Full auto fire from the gun cavalry concentrates on the Kingsguard Ant-Man. At first he was playing the shooting, but as the uninterrupted shooting continued, he began to stretch his limbs and eventually his body blew up and scattered pieces of flesh around him so that the explosion was scattered.

"... cease shooting. Father, we've taken over the enemy group."

"Idiot! He said to call me 'General Condorato', not your father, in battle! You won't be able to show them!

Normally Arne would never call me my father in front of the soldiers, but he dared to reprimand me to keep his mind tight because he seemed to be up in a big meeting for a long time.

Arne, pointing out the words, makes her face hazy.

"And excuse me. General Kondrato! We have destroyed the masters of the enemy group!

"Great. Arne joins Authrones like this to sweep the rest of his enemies, and don't miss one."

"Yes! Copy that."

Arne led a gun cavalry who rode as well as riding a horse to a place where it was a battlefield.

"Master Kondrato, please don't be impotent. What would you do if you fell down here?

Alfonso, who rushed, approached me with a nervous face and flaunted my behavior. As the chief of staff of the Southern Frontier Bo National Army, he is heavily responsible, but is originally a person in an information field, so he did not seem to be comfortable feeling the finesse of the war.

If I were frightened of the enemy generals who put it in like that, it would infect the soldiers and make them flee, give them momentum, and there could be a reversal of the war situation. In battle, the soldiers are crushing and observing officers and generals, and if we see fright or anxiety, we will always pass it on to them.

Therefore, I had always realized in my long battlefield that I had to be confident without showing fright or anxiety in my face.

But my master was more familiar with it than I was, and even during the Gertrude battle and the Demonic rebellion, he was shown room for harmony with the side chambers in the battlefield, showing various differences in instrumentality.

... Master Kent is amazing... because he made room for that massive meeting... and I need to be more sophisticated...

"There's nothing wrong with that. Alfonso, how's the war going?"

"We have now picked up about five hundred of our enemy groups. We have already completed the siege and it is becoming impossible for the enemy to escape. Also, the attack on the Kingsguard Ant-Man is spreading agitation, and we don't see an organized and orderly counterattack."

Alfonso told me instantly to sort out the current situation.

"What's the damage?

"There have been about five deaths, twenty serious injuries and a hundred minor injuries. Again, the demons in the depths of the Southern Region are strong… not a complete victory without damage"

Alfonso had reported the damage on his face like he had drunk bitter objects. I too had a dead man standing and was shocked by the strength and amount of damage done by enemy demons.

Master Kent will be saddened about the dead...

If Master Kent received this report, who is extremely disgusted with human death, he would certainly be shocked, and fighting the Ants in the field any longer was near its limit in terms of damage.

"After destroying all enemy groups, join Lord Charlotte and cage him in the fortress."

Thus, Charlotte, who had led the Parade Army, joined him when he finished sweeping the remaining enemies.

"Lord Condorato... it's late. The rendezvous was delayed following an ant man who left the enemy group. Immediately after the escaped ants, a group of at least 5,000 ants approached from the rear and left while acting late, but the enemy attacked without showing any signs of fright."

Charlotte, who ran over with a horse, wore a fragrant smell on top of her whole body stained red like she had returned blood.

"Five thousand... so... are we having a nightmare... we can't have a field fight with the Ant-Man Five thousand... we should defeat a group of enemies based on the fortress built by Lord Garvey"

"I think Master Kondrato is right, too. Ants are pretty strong... if we force the field, we'll have a lot of damage."

Charlotte also had the look on her face that she was fighting the Ants and should avoid fighting in the field as she seemed to feel their strength in her skin.

"Then let's retrieve the drops quickly and go back to the fortress. About half the walls were built and the gates were attached."

I was looking at the walls that were being completed at the top.

"Okay. Start collecting them immediately and head to the fortress."

Charlotte also agreed with me, and began the task of collecting the drops of the quickly annihilated enemy, and began marching towards the fortress as soon as they were finished collecting them.

* Garbay Perspective

From the foothills when the third step was about to be finished, the cavalry of Arne, the procession of Charlotte and the troops of Condorato came back together.

"Lord Condorato, what happened to the enemy?

"It looks like an advance party was coming to the foot. Lord Charlotte has discovered about 5,000 groups that appear to be the main unit. Apparently, this neighborhood has become an anthropogenic living area, breeding demons as bait."

Condorato came to tell me why there were so few demons on Fer 'ad Street. Ant men are demons, but they are omnivores, and it is said among demon hunters that demons also feed and reproduce, and it was thought that the nested queen ants had newly inhabited the land and bred heavily.

"That sucks... even though the crusade has progressed, I thought there was a small amount of demons in the southern region... because the ants were eating..."

"Plus it looks like a new queen ant was born. The small group I followed also identified juvenile ants (baby ants). They're picking this place for breeding land to expand their sphere of power, aren't they? If we don't eradicate it, we'll reach Godard."

"Toddler Ant (Baby Ant)!? Lord Charlotte, that's true!

Akbes had a look of surprise when he heard Charlotte's report.

"Yep, there was also a mix of slave servant ants (Slave Ant-Man), the female individual of the anthropo who seemed to be the guardian, and there were a couple of demons in service that were a mixed group. I'm pretty sure I stabbed a toddler ant (Baby Ant) in the toddler. I had trouble getting mucused on that..."

Charlotte shows Acbeth her red-dyed armor. Akbes then squeezes his expression and advises Condorato.

"Lord Condorato!! Instruct them to get to battle position immediately! The mucus that Lord Charlotte has bathed will bring the ants to this land."

"Huh!? Is this mucus calling the ants to collect?

I am surprised to see Charlotte get mucus on armor and clothes.

When everyone's gaze gathered in Charlotte, a voice was raised from the soldier standing at the castle gate.

"Enemy attack!! Ant-Man and a group of thoughtful enemies are coming! The enemy group also appears to have a large mix of individuals who appear to be Queen Ants!!

The soldiers in the castle also stand in a similar voice to the cry of the soldiers of the sight.

"Don't be frightened. Eighty percent of the walls have already been completed. If we don't get close, our victory is for sure. Total battle placement. Everyone, take your bows and guns and go up to the wall."

When Condorato's instructions flew, the generals in line took their bows and rushed out to the walls. I ran out to the rest of the construction site with my own soldiers to oversee the forthcoming wall.
