My father was shuddering for a very short time.

Being anxious about his own father was pretty scary as a baby, and that time felt so long.

On my father's face I returned, I was resolutely determined.

"- I'll cage! Hurry up the internment of soldiers out of the fort! As soon as we're accommodated, raise the jump bridge!

"Yes!

When the knight returned his salute, he ran away.

Dad was helping us make our way home. Tell the secretary to call an emergency call on all the officers in the fort.

"Julia, Ed. I'm sorry, but I can't go home for a while."

"Come on.... but are you okay?

What my mother cares about would be the strength of the fort.

Support units to Zachholz in the north had already left this fort last night.

That number, a thousand.

Two thirds of the soldiers who were originally in this fort have left the fort.

My father would have given orders to send soldiers from the rear city, but it should be a few days before that unit arrives at Fort Lanzrack.

In other words, Father, with only 500 troops, must defend the fort against the mercenary regiment Black Wolf Fang, which according to reports is over 2,000.

"Black Wolf's Fang" is a notorious mercenary regiment for looting at will (as you wish), but it is still said to be powerful enough to have to be used.

Of course, you can't abandon the fort and lower the line of defense to the city behind you.

Because you can't make the cities and villages behind Fort Lanzrack (the ones we stopped to go to, too) like the Black Wolf Fang.

My Chihuahua knowledge in my previous life was that the defensive side would be overwhelmingly advantageous in a siege battle and would require three to five times more troops to defeat it.

This time, my battle power difference is four times higher than 500 vs. 2000.

However, given that the Black Wolf Fang is elite, it could be more than five times as good.

I'm guessing we'll have reinforcements from the city behind us, and we'll be in touch to get back to the troops headed for Zachholz, but it'll take a few days to get there in any case.

Never, it's not an optimistic situation.

"I'm sorry... I got you all involved"

My father said that to my mother and bowed his head.

Mother Julia approaches such a father in silence, grabbing him by the shoulders and making him raise his face.

"What are you talking about, Al!

I'm glad I'm here today, aren't I?

I don't want to wait any longer for Al-Kun to fight without my knowledge.

If that's the case, I'd much rather fight with you. "

"Julia......"

My father looks surprised.

"Honestly, if the situation seemed to last forever when Al was in the fort and I was in my house all the time... I was thinking of taking Edgar out of my house"

"Huh...!

My father was out of line.

I mean, I was out of line, too.

I can't believe my mother thought of that when she loved my father from the bottom of her heart and felt happy just looking at his face.

Mommy Julia continues, mopping up her father (and me) who puffs her mouth like a goldfish.

"But Edgar made me realize.

I've always been unhappy that Al can't stay at home.

But I didn't try to tell Al that properly. I've been putting up with you because I think you can't help it because of your work.

Al didn't understand.

Yeah, I'm not blaming you. I didn't tell you, so you didn't notice.

But Edgar told me. I said I had to say it right. I'm sad, I have to tell you not to leave me alone, your father won't notice. "

As the same man, I don't think my father could help but notice.

With 3,500 men, there is a civil war in the country beyond the fort.

Well, I can't afford to look at home anymore.

Still, you were forced to take a vacation, take over the horse and come see me, so you're being cruel to blame.

The only time I noticed Julia's grief was in Okami.

I am a newborn baby and have little to do with anyone but my mother.

I can't even take care of myself, and I have to hold my mother's hand.

That's the situation, so it's only natural to be sensitive to the mother's feelings.

"So - Al.

Put me by your side.

With you, let me fight.

Let me protect your back.

Even I can fight. "

…………

Akan, Master Oyaji isn't breathing completely.

I sneak [Physical Magic] to move the pebble under my father's feet and hit my father's shin.

"... eh. Julia......"

A restarted father grabs his mother's shoulders with a serious look.

"- I'm sorry about what I've done.

I was just putting my work to work, and I wasn't even trying to figure out how you felt.

I'll change that from now on.

I don't want you to be my husband, but I want you to stay with me, not abandon me, and stand next to me and fight with me. "

"Al..."

"Julia......"

My father and mother, who are totally in the world, slowly put their faces closer together.

"- Whoa, hon."

"Huh!" "Huh!

To a cough that suddenly cracks and goes in, the two jump up.

I've noticed for a long time now that all the knights of the fort were surrounded by trying to keep the two surroundings afield.

Well, just now, I was summoning all officers.

They'll come together, won't they?

"Commander, it's fine that the couple are close, but isn't it time to join the military?

The oldest, mustache knight in his fifties or so said so.

"Oh, oh, no, I mean..."

My father was warm and then coughed up.

"Mm-hmm. Right, let's start a military debate"

"Yeah, but before you do, that's a word from me."

"What?"

When his father asked back, the bearded knight looked back at the other knights,

"Our Commander is excellent in human morality, in intelligence, in skill, and, above all, he is also a loving wife of the same kind as we have all seen!

May I have His Majesty the Commander and his family placed in the hands of thieves when the Black Wolf's Fang is present!

The answer is no!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me show you what a kingdom knight is!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

With the awesome cry of the knights, the fort, which is supposed to be robust, trembles with horror.

More than that, my eardrum shook my soul.

I'm starting to feel like there's nothing wrong with numbers.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The mercenaries showed themselves from the other side of the horizon shortly after they were all ready for the Battle of Cage Castle.

The time is noon.

The Black Wolf's Fang, hardened with an array of black armor, is divided into two separate teams, slowly but steadily surrounding Fort Lanzrac.

Just looking at the behavior shows that the Black Wolf Fang boasts a high degree of practice away from the mercenary regiment.

Me and my mother, my father, stand on the walls and watch the Black Wolf Fangs.

When it comes to taking me to the battlefield, I naturally raised the point that it's dangerous.

"Because my side is safest."

And for what Mother Julia had said, I was to be fixed with a strap on my mother's back.

It seems to be one of the reasons why I'm not a crying child.

Mother Julia, a former A-rank adventurer, has two names: The Witch of Fire Hell.

Shall I [appraise] you once now?

I'm pretty inferior to my mother, but this still falls into the category of excellence among the knights around me.

Skills also count as many skill holders with skill levels above 5.

Even though I'm a platoon leader, I still don't seem to have [command] skills either.

So I can't say enough that my mother's "fight next door" statement is a metaphor, too.

Or, not at all metaphorical or anything like that, but 100% serious, I should think I'm saying it in a literal sense.

About that, Mother Julia was talking about her readiness this way.

"- I'm a little serious about it.

You're making fun of Al for attacking the fort he's protecting.

I will never forgive you.

That black dog or some kind of mercenary group... because I won't let one soldier get away with it "

"The Witch of Fire Hell," he was totally Putzn here.

I'm scared, I'm on my back. I need you on my back!

While I was freaking out about my mother, there was a move on Black Wolf Fang.

They made no surrender recommendations, no declaration of war.

With the ease of attacking villages and cities on the battlefield, he starts shooting bows at fortifications from across the river.

I didn't set it up from the fort considering the possibility that it was thinner than paper that I might have had trouble eating at once and sought asylum, but I wouldn't mind if it came from the other side.

Arrows and magic are also released from the fort, but by then the mercenaries had fallen backwards and did not appear to have caused much damage.

There is no damage so far on this side either.

The mercenary regiment has also moved separate teams surrounding the fort to attack simultaneously from all directions, whether they were in a hurry or finished grasping the power of this one.

Mercenaries with long ladders, about ten metres long, penetrate towards the arrows and magical downpours, trying to put that ladder against the walls of the castle.

With a width of five meters and a height of ten meters on the walls, trying to ladder diagonally is not long enough.

It seems like a maneuver to make up for it by throwing it something like you, but the fort side won't allow it easily, dropping mercenaries with arrows, and the ladder magically destroys it.

The unlucky mercenary falls toward the walls and hard ground where he is shot in the face with an arrow, and the lucky mercenary is shot in the shoulder and arm and dives into the water of the wax.

As my father boasted, the water level of the wax is exquisite and once it falls, it is difficult to return to it without help from the outside.

The knight of the fort sprinkles oil from the top of the walls where mercenaries accumulate to some extent, dropping the spark and burning the immobile mercenaries.

On the battlefield stands the unpleasant smell of burnt human flesh along with the smell of blood.

I think it is a very unbearable sight from the modern Japanese.

I just didn't think it was that tough on me for some reason.

For once, the effect of [difficulty inactivity] may be dispelling mental depletion.

Conversely, it can be said that the sights are spiritually hard enough for [difficult hardship] to work naturally.

I don't mean to make you look like a 0.5-year-old by mistake, but I guess that area still means you're a military man and former adventurer, even if you look gentle.

Standing on the walls, Mother Julia is unleashing her good [fire magic] against mercenaries at the behest of her father.

"-L (Concept) -B (Flame), Flame Lance!

A huge light flashed and a mercenary who was about to attach to the walls was skewered together by two people.

The flaming spear, straight ahead, exploded the moment it came into contact with the ground, leaving several more mercenaries on fire.

It's a technique called two-letter activation, which is also found in The Abaddon Magic Book, but that shouldn't be the only power we've had so far.

I think Mother Julia is dramatically more powerful by doing two-letter activation with her masterclass skills [Fire Magic].

I could see the mercenaries wandering over my mother's magical powers.

but there are just a handful of mercenaries who have been crawling through many training grounds, flying to the archers who were nearby and focusing their arrows on their mother.

Mother, who is by no means inferior to the enemy in terms of number of places, calmly dives herself into the shadows of the walls, but she can't even aim for magic as it is.

The mercenaries approach the gap to grab the ladder carried from the rear and attach it to the wall again.

"Oh, that's so annoying!

Mother moves from the shadows to the shadows of the walls with unimaginable speed from normal conditions, while releasing "B (Flame)," Flame Bit "to restrain the mercenaries.

One letter activation is the limit as you move, and your mother's magic is only in tow.

Still, it's amazing enough because my mother is stopping the mercenaries on their own by ten.

But then...

"It's a stone thrower!

A giant trolley is being towed from behind the Black Wolf Fang main unit.

On the trolley is like a seesaw that seems like a five-meter pass.

It must be a stone thrower as someone screamed.

A rock-laden stone thrower deflects, and the next moment, a huge rock that looks like a meter in diameter will fly!

Besides, this is a direct hit course to Mother Julia (and me)!

"Ku......!

Your mother also seeps through the rush and tries to interfere with the rocks using a "(physique), but the magic is unlikely to make it.

Big Rock is approaching the moment.

"Bubble!

The big rock stopped right in front of me.

[Physical Magic] [Characterless Activated] MP20 for simultaneous use - that's not enough, [Physical Magic] was sucked a total of 3 times of magic and took the MP as much as 40 times.

So I use [Physical Magic] again.

(Physique), (Physique), (Physique).

No, I infused him with three degrees of MP, not once.

Big Rock flips the path in the air and returns to the same trajectory as it went -

Whoa, whoa!

and make an awesome noise and destroy the stone thrower.

Two mercenaries got caught up in it and underneath the big rock, and a few mercenaries ate splashed stone thrower fragments.

Mother Julia looks back at me with her surprised face as she leaves her hands open to the universe.

"Edgar, thank you. Thank you. I can't believe I'm doing this."

I said as my mother looked where the stone thrower was.

The mercenaries seem to have lost their temper in the current stone throwback, and look up at me (to be exact, Julia's mother).

This is my chance to attack because of it, but the soldiers on the fort's side are also looking back at Mother Julia in surprise.

In the meantime, the leader-like mercenary on the spot brings together his allies and again concentrates his arrows on his mother.

The mercenaries, or the soldiers at the fort, also seem to think that their mother did that now.

The mercenaries shot an arrow at his mother in desperate shape, and the soldiers at the fort said, "The wife of the Commander has shown it to you!" He is stirred up by the man with the mustache who shouts,

... Ma, nobody thinks that a 0.5-year-old with a pussy on his mother's back did it, right?

"Are you all right?!?"

My father, who was in command of the whole thing a little further away, rushed over to us in advance.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Because Edgar protected me."

"Become..., so that one just now, Ed did it!?"

"Bubble."

Tighten your chest.

"As it were, okay. If you're safe, that's enough. I didn't know you even had a catapult for the mercenaries. It must have been captured on the battlefield."

According to the knights who ran to the scouts, there doesn't seem to be any more stone throwers in the main force or in separate squads.

I'm gonna make sure we're safe, and then I'm gonna go back to command. My mom's gonna talk to me with my dad on my ass.

"Edgar, can you protect your mother for a while?

He wants me to buy him some time to use the big moves.

Do you mean there's more magic to the big moves than just now in Flame Lance?

I want to see that.

"Bubble!

I'll take care of it! He cries and then continues to write "(Physique)".

By the way, the MP I just used has already recovered thanks to [difficulty not working].

With my MP now, recovery starts in ten seconds, recovering to the maximum in five seconds.

Whether you're in the middle of a fight or not, shall I show you my status for a second?

"Guardian of the Good God"

The MP max improvement measure on the road worked, and the current max MP is 649.

It marks a value greater than 2.5 times that of Mother Julia (253).

And you should also grasp Mother Julia's MP.

"Julia Culver. HP: 79/79, MP: 210/253.

Yeah, he doesn't seem to be hurt either. Above all.

Now, as the rain of the arrows pours, Mother enters the concentration of her "grand moves".

I close my eyes rigidly in this situation, and I don't even care what's going on in the outside world.

What are you gonna do if I can't protect you?

Because I have to be trusted to do so much, I activate ten "Physics" written together and give them back to the archer exactly what is likely to hit their mother among the flying arrows.

An arrow running through the air making a wind-cut noise protrudes into the face and neck of the mercenary who shot the arrow.

Unlike when I was a rock, I had the feeling I killed him with my own hands, but now.

With all the nausea, I refocused my consciousness.

Buying time like that for a minute or so.

I spin a spell like that when I do something, as my mother opens her eyes cuttingly and carves a hefty letter into the universe.

"-B (Flaming Yo) -B (All Te) -B (Burning Pay U) -B (Whirlwind Totalized SE) -Flame Storm (Firestorm)" Huh!

Seven letters... you say?

Stunning me, a vast amount of magic erupts from my mother's body, besieging a group of mercenaries that are solidifying in front of the walls.

Magic gradually accelerates as it spins around the confused mercenaries.

Wow...

The magic simultaneously turned into a huge flame.

Mercenaries surrounded by flames panic, but it's too late.

The hectic flame builds momentum and runs wild, turning it into a scorching whirlwind and swallowing a mercenary regiment.

The flame storm, transformed into a tornado as it was, fluttered and serpentine to the mercenary regiment's main formation, bluffing the main formation where it was spared.

Still, the main tent winds up - swallowed by tornadoes even by the mercenaries who were inside.

The flaming storm slowly lost its momentum after scattering rough the position of "Black Wolf's Fang", extinguishing it to be dispersed by the wind.

"Bhahahahahaha, Bhahahahahahahahahaha......!

(This is The Witch of Fire...!

Not only are the mercenaries who have lost their main battalion stunned, but the knights of the fort are also stunned by too much.

- This has determined the trend of the battle.

That's what everyone thought...
