Eighteen Tales "Marius VS Holdia Army"

Holdia's army, which controlled Fort Valdera, enjoyed an abundance of meals with food that had been stockpiled in the fort.

As a result of the investigation, it was found that there was only enough storage to stand for a year if there were about 50,000 troops, so they behaved in large measure to feed the exhausted soldiers.

Nicole was in a good mood when she became guardian on behalf of Ignato, who was recalled to her home country.

He was a group of people looking for Queen Asteria's leg loss, and after the Queen's leg loss, he decided to be executed and welcomed into his concubine's belly.

His mouth and attitude are in royalty. Seriously harsh, but only his appearance is comparable to that of his neighbor Princess Rovisa.

By now, the factions to which he belongs should be ready to make things happen.

In order not to make the situation worse, which has become more subtle, there is no reason to be interested in the great army and to besiege the King's capital, but at the earliest the Queen was a minority.

Most of the likes who supported the Mad Queen turned that way in the next reckless and insane march.

Holdia once broke his insanity and turned the continent against his enemies, and it is with great trauma that he suffered defeat.

It should be said that taking it lightly is the Queen's greatest failure.

They were repelled by young, beautiful, armed samurai, but it was a different force from Nicole and the others that released the assassins the other day.

"My time is coming!

Nicole was sure of the brightness of her future.

He was still trusted by young and elderly nobles and was popular with his generation.

According to reports of scouts, the Philatelic army would be attacking today, but even a wizard named Marius Anything had to be repelled.

"Dear Nicole, the enemy is here."

The deputy came.

When I told him to call me a general, he switched to "not exactly a general yet, is he?" He is a disgusting guy.

"I will destroy you with my glorious command."

Nicole stood on the wall frying and saw the enemy, first distracted and then furious.

"That's the enemy!?"

Only one wizard, putting together a deep red robe and hiding his face in a hood, was walking slowly by himself.

"That must be the rumored Marius Touban."

Nicole turned a mockery at the wary lieutenant.

"Is he the one who prides himself on killing a few Wyburns!

The slave soldiers watched Marius walk anxiously.

"Fools, there's a giant crossbow (barista) in this fort!

When Nicole revealed her source of confidence, the soldiers regained their composure.

We killed a lot of our own people in one blow, anti-Dragon weapons.

It reminded me of its existence.

"There are 50,000 soldiers in a giant crossbow, and ten or twenty of Wyburn, you can't possibly kill them! Marius, you're not afraid!

Apart from the fact that the judgment was accurate, this confidence of Nicole also became a great confidence for the soldiers.

If this man, who tortured us, who hated us but was good at keeping us, was so confident that we would win.

Even the lieutenant did not doubt the victory per se.

(It would be impossible for tens of thousands of soldiers to drop a fort alone, unless it's also Melinda Guilford)

Remembering the hero who existed thousands of years ago, the deputy smiled lightly and bitterly.

I was ashamed to compare it to the man in front of me with the biggest hero in human history who has the legend of being able to serve demons and even fight demon kings one-on-one.

Marius, who was also compared to Melinda by Holdia, stopped walking once again and used the "radar" to locate the monitors.

He then used auxiliary magic "homing" to shoot in more paralytic magic "Stan".

This way you will have the power assigned to each of the three magics, so the power will fall, but there is no chance of inadvertently paralyzing the enemy's heart permanently.

I used the "radar" again and waved my right hand over and over to make sure everyone was in a coma.

The Fillato soldiers moved out accordingly.

"Hey, what... what did he just do?

No one could answer Nicole's question.

Because it was common sense in them that so-called enemy magic had a valid range of tens of meters at best.

I wasn't aware that anyone was watching this place more than a kilometer from the fort.

"Fair enough, get a giant crossbow ready!

A giant spear can be observed for dozens of people.

Nicole took plenty of time to lay down her life feeling like the Marius Seeking Executioner who walked out again.

"Let go!"

A giant spear is roared up and ejected.

The destructive power that shoots out even scales at the inevitable speed of even the most powerful dragon of demons.

The walking wizard attacked me in a straight line, and I became a piece of wood dust.

"............ what?

"Huh...?

My head turned bright white.

What the hell happened in front of me?

How could a giant spear be smashed, even capable of defeating a dragon with one blow?

Why is the wizard walking slowly when his body is supposed to be crushed?

"Oh, it's impossible, that's not possible!

Nicole's brain couldn't accept what actually happened.

The fact that giant crossbows are not effective on all dragons has already disappeared from the brain.

"Yes, hallucinations, I'm sure they're hallucinations"

I started making excuses for bumps and desperation.

No one was able to point out that it was more difficult to show hallucinations to tens of thousands of troops than to magically prevent giant crossbows.

Because everyone but Yardabels was stunned by the nightmarish reality.

Yarn and others came to the scene, and something was bumping and crushing.

"It's the second shot, two simultaneous shots!

The soldiers rushed to follow Nicole's half-frequent orders.

They were also desperate to break the nightmare.

"Hurry, hurry!

It was half screaming, not decree, but the soldiers obey diligently.

Because I felt the exact same way about the fact that I didn't want to let the wizard walk any closer.

Move the table of the second giant crossbow diligently, keeping the spear on and aiming at each other at the same time.

"Let go!"

The two spears increase their destructiveness in synergy and hit the wizard.

And once again, it became a piece of wood dust.

"hey... what the..."

Nicole shook her voice and body.

I felt like I even smashed and scattered something important with the spear.

Strength falls out of your body.

Marius Touban had already come right to the side.

"Aww... prevent, prevent"

I command you in tears, but no one responds.

When he looked around in haste, many sat down just like Nicole.

They only knew demon kings and demons, such as opponents who couldn't get through.

But they came here and added another one.

"Don't be a wolf! Attack them until they're out of magic, they'll kill us all!

The soldiers rush to obey orders as if the stopping time had set in motion when the few remaining lieutenants yelled so.

(yes, there was an outage of magic)

It was comforting to see the light of hope.

More than just how powerful a wizard is and a human being, one day the magic will expire.

The soldiers finally realized that that was the greatest opportunity and that more and more attacks should be made to do so.

"Archers! Release the fire!

"Stone! Let the stone rain!

Fire arrows and stone rain pour down on Marius.

It was not an attack that could be directed at only one person, but the barriers that Marius deploys crush them and walk slowly as if walking.

(And it won't stop......)

All attacks don't work for Marius.

"No way... Demon Man?

The deputy was wary.

Meanwhile, the Fillato army also saw Marius' "fortification attack," opening his eyes and mouth to the maximum.

"Oh, is that...?

Giant crossbows and thousands of stone rains are smashed and scattered, with no fire arrows or effect whatsoever.

Marius was a foothold as if he were walking around the neighborhood, even though the Holdians were attacking him with madness to death.

They burned in revenge, simply expecting to "see terrible things with the tremendous magic of a national guest magician," but I couldn't think "look at the sight in front of me".

"No way, Demon Man?

"No, if you're a demon, you won't prevent stones. I mean, Master Marius is human."

As for the allies, they were still relatively calm.

"Stop, stop."

The scream sounds muffled.

Marius has come as far as what can already be called the tip of his eyes and nose.

The question could not even be raised as to why they were not using attack magic.

Nicole, who is so loud about the upside down relationship, is so flattered and useless that she doesn't blame her deputy for his ultra vires behavior.

Neither the giant crossbow, nor the rain of ten thousand arrows and stones, all work for Marius.

(Then, the monster! And the native ones! You dumped us and pawned us!

What the deputy thought was treachery on his part and on those to whom Nicole belonged, but it should have been called wet clothes.

They didn't understand the power of Marius at all.

Marius, who knocked the Holdian army 50,000 into despair, said, stopped a few steps from the walls and cast another magic while maintaining the barrier.

"Slumber Mist"

It is extensive sleep magic.

A watery mist blows out of Marius' body, and he can get around the fort in no time.

"Ugh..."

"Hey, what's this..."

Even if he feels strange and tries to resist, he is suddenly struck by intense drowsiness and collapses on the spot.

"Levitate" the soldiers falling from the walls and send them back to the top of the walls.

The fog covered the fort and it took more than a dozen seconds for all of Holdia's troops to sleep.

Marius breaks the castle gate with a "fire" after making sure he can no longer hear anything but sleep and snoring.

Fort Valdera virtually fell again in less than twenty seconds.

Now Marius' battle should have been called the real deal from here on out.

First, cover the entire fort with a "Dimension Shield" so that magic cannot be activated from outside the fort.

Everyone was "comatose" when they went inside and checked the condition of the soldiers.

You won't wake up for a few minutes unless you have a strong impact or something.

(If it was Stan, I might have shocked him to death)

It's not even a joke, such as killing with a state attack.

Look for the commander, relieved that he was right to take safety measures.

In the midst of everyone's sleep, there were not fifty who had not worn a collar, which was a sign of slavery.

One of them, the most luxuriously equipped, had a wet groin.

(Were you incontinent...?

Touch your body even though it opens up to the smell drifting from Nicole.

If you use "psychometry" to find out about the collar, you don't even need to be questioned.

The type of magic embedded in the slave soldiers, how to activate them, how to remove the collar, etc.

The collar will kill the slave if he tries to remove it by any other than regular means, even in the sense of preventing the illegal liberation of the slave.

That's why it was desirable to just remove the suicide bombing ceremony.

(but it has to be that sweet)

All the man knew was how to activate the magic and when he tried to remove a particular technique, the slave would die.

In view of the danger of failing to prevent the rebellion of slaves.

I'm guessing Yardabels expected this.

Marius sighed deeply.

Should we still have killed them all like we were first told?

(No, thanks a little more... I'm ready to let you die for that)

Yardabels advised me that enemies are not always forgiven where Marius helped them.

The slave soldiers are still servants, and those who commanded them.

But Marius still felt sorry for the slaves who were forced into the war and wanted to help him somehow.

The collar is also a magic item, more likely to break if Marius is magical.

The question was whether slaves could break it without dying.

I just have to believe in myself for breaking Nungaro, which should be highly magical resistant there, but my spine gets cold.

Heart beating sounds loud and feels like your stomach can tighten up.

If you don't help yourself, you're all doomed to be killed, and it calms you down a little.

He swallowed the saliva, touched the collar of one soldier and enchanted himself as much as he could.

The collar was once lightly broken and no strangeness occurred to the soldier.

They weren't just made assuming the magic of Marius.

Sighing of relief, Marius continued.

We have to do all the less than 50,000 by ourselves.

I was going to call the Yardabels and the others later to help me tie them up.

We have to negotiate and keep the slaves safe than we could have been helped.

─ ─ I got the hang of it, so I could destroy all the collars in about a minute.
