Price of Management

Salamander produced dozens of small fireballs instead of going himself and sent them off to the Horn Empire camp.

I have a little fire to catch up on.

Nothing is better than playing with fire if you want to use as little or as little Spirit Affinity as possible.

Besides, in all seriousness, the Marquis of Great Ghost is lying on his back.

If the fire is serious, the Horn Empire will panic and try to contain the fire. There is no way to let a man who is the leader of the Black Cross and a heroic unmanned man die in a fire.

The fireballs fly and stick to the barracks of the Horn Empire camp.

A salamander's flame was no ordinary flame. You start a fire burning down your barracks in a flash.

It was only a matter of time before a big fire broke out.

“Boo, it's fire! ”

“Put out the fire! ”

“Oh my God! Don't let the Commander's barracks catch fire! ”

“Water! Get some water! ”

Water?

Then give it to me. Water.

“Wounded.”

- Yeah!

Wounded reveals himself.

“They want water. Well, I guess I'll just have to water it, then. ”

-Yeah.

After reading my thoughts, Wounded immediately took action.

There is one thing to keep in mind when using Water Spirits in battle. It is much more advantageous to fight in nearby areas than in dry areas.

It is because it is much less consuming of spiritual affinity to attack with water that is already present than to clump water that is widely spread in the air.

So the river or stream area is perfect to use.

...... or a place with a lot of groundwater buried underground.

Phew!

The ground collapses in the middle of the Horn Empire and water spills out. Wundine pulled up the groundwater buried deep in the ground.

The water rumbles through the soldiers like a living aquarium.

“Aah!”

“Ho, the flood! ”

“Aah!”

The water rushes across the Horn Empire soldiers. Soldiers are overwhelmed with chaos, like a leaf swept by the river.

After the upheaval, the place turns into a raging mudslide. This was also what I wanted. Making it out of mud and slowing down the enemy's movements!

“This is a dream...... It's all a nightmare! ”

A young soldier cried out.

Yeah, be scared all you want. I'm so scared, I don't know what to do. It will allow you to experience only disasters you have never experienced before.

Now, Marquis of Juden.

What are you gonna do now?

You're not the only one who's going to take the fall for a higher spirit, are you?

“Here you are, Count Caroc Ligand. ”

A stunning spectacle unfolded before my eyes. The siege towers lie side-by-side, the seriousness on fire, and a raging tide sweeps through the soldiers.

However, the Marquis of Jurden remains calm.

Friendly soldiers roam in terror, but the damage is not as great as it looks.

The question is, how many casualties? The soldier's morale is low and confused. War is not a game of numbers.

“What are the wizards doing? ”

“They're under attack by Sylph and they're focused on defending themselves! ”

“You're blocking the wizard's power thoroughly. ”

If a great spirit like Caroc Ligand is cautious and vigilant, it is difficult to strike with a wizard's power.

However, in the Battle of the Kingdom of Leaden, there was another useful force available to the Marquis of Juden. Probably the most vicious and powerful force on the continent.

“In front of the Black Cross! ”

Black Cross Satan.

The strongest knights raised by the Marquis of Great Gen.

The order of the Marquis of Juden has fallen.

“Go and strike the head of Caroc Ligand! ”

“Old!”

The Black Cross launched a single charge.

The Marquis of Juden gives orders to the wizards as well.

“Support the Black Cross! Be sure to support your magic to climb over all obstacles and over the walls where he is! ”

The Black Cross has changed the atmosphere of the battlefield.

The black knights gallop across the battlefield. Armies galloping through muddy ground by flood. Soon, the siege towers collapsed in front of them.

At that moment, the wizards cast their magic together.

The Black Cross jumped together with the horses. The wizards' concentrated flying magic lifts them high.

The Black Cross has surpassed the siege towers!

“Waaaah!”

A scream erupted among the soldiers in the stunning sight.

Maybe he felt threatened by the Black Cross.

The spears of dirt pour down on the Black Cross. The Black Cross also stood against the weapon of error.

Kwakwakwakwakwabang ― Pufferfeng!

Few fell from shock. However, the Black Cross did not stop.

This time I encountered a much bigger obstacle than the Siege Tower. It was the Wall of the Temple of Knights.

“One more time! ”

“Fly!”

The wizards focused their flying magic on the Black Cross again. The spear of Silf Wind threatens their lives, but the defending wizards stack their shields and block them.

The Black Cross jumps on horseback. Curiously, as if they were about to leap over the walls.

Paaaaaah!

All of the Black Cross was lifted by flying magic. Knights in shining black armor! It was as magnificent as a scene in a myth.

At that moment, this time, a flame struck them.

A whirlpool of flaming flames and violent storms combines. The whirlpool of flames swept over the Black Cross. The Black Cross confronted them, pouring out their errors.

Kwaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

“Hee-hee-hee!”

The horses scream. Six knights crashed into a whirlpool of flames.

However, the error attacks fired by the Black Cross combined to destroy the whirlpool of flames.

The Black Cross succeeded in climbing over the wall.

“Got it!”

“He really climbed the wall! ”

“As expected, the Black Cross! ”

The soldiers shouted and liked it.

The morale that had been broken down by the unimaginable animistic attack was reviving.

At this point, the Marquis of Juden walks out into the mud. Now that Caroc Ligand is focused on the Black Cross, there is an opportunity to clear up the chaos.

“All forces! Advance! We have a job to do! No more idle chatter. Follow me! ”

“Sa, Commander! ”

Escort knights and soldiers hurriedly pursue the Marquis of Juden.

“If you have mud, you can walk through it! What's the problem?”

The Marquis of Juden shouts.

In the appearance of such a commander, the Horn Empire army, which was doing nothing, finally came to its senses.

The commander sets foot in the mud. They had to move forward.

Soldiers march in unison.

“Remove any obstacles that get in the way! What's the problem?! ”

The soldiers stick together and start clearing the fallen siege towers. I pulled it out of the rope every month. Nothing became a stumbling block in front of the enormous number.

The Marquis of Jurden points to the walls of the Temple of Knight.

“If there are walls, climb up! Conquer! That's what you're here for! ”

“Waaaah-ah! ”

The Horn Empire screams for evil.

The chargers rush against the wall. You climb up the wall using a knife in a crevice.

I put a ladder on the wall and threw a rope.

The fear of the Horn Empire rises again.
