Reborn Ishl and the Magic Fixture of God

The mountain belly of Brektas stretching north bathes in the morning sun and shines as it burns.

A cloud lighting back in red quietly crosses the blue sky.

Ishur accidentally narrowed her eyes and inhaled her small breath into a glare that was full of vision.

Cold air spreads like a stab in the heart of your lungs.

On the front, you put up a wall of domed wind magic to increase your speed.

The sound of cutting the wind through the ears grows louder.

"Sharka, I'll grab it."

Ishur looked back and said in a shouting voice to Sharka as she reached the rear.

……

"Yes, Ishr."

Sharka nodded silently and Mira, who rides her shoulder, has also replied well.

Ishur covered around Sharka and Mira with the magic of the wind, going even faster and higher altitude.

The target Castle of Karnas is on the north side of one of the Ilard castles, the southernmost branch of the North Line Castle Fortress group.

The altitude is close to two thousand and five hundred long steps (skulls, about 1,600 m), all looking down at the castles on the ridge north of Karnas.

Ishur stared at the small, dark mass, which grows only one wanted building from the front, from the summit of the mountain.

Although Karnas is called a "castle," it is in fact only about the size of a small fortress, similar to the castles at other heights, such as Ilal and Cesi.

It is a substitute to that extent, with several mountain huts and observatories on top of walls that combine stone piles and mountain-skinned rocks. But on the west side of the mountain, on the side of the United Kingdom, there should also be multiple curved rings.

"Ishl."

Lifia in the back strengthens her shoulder grip.

At the same time, he brought his face closer to Ishur's ear.

"Well, what can I say... Anyway, oh, thank you."

In the wind flowing backwards, her exhalation was slightly felt hitting her earlobes.

Lifia's breath, her words were warm.

"That's okay. Never mind you."

"Well, that's not going to happen. Lord Hanes didn't have to die. Really good......"

... Indeed, there would have been something politically significant that was intact, as opposed to the death of the Duke of Beervald's man. Without buying resentment from the Duke's house myself, I could have rather even sold my thanks.

"But one of Beervald's family heirlooms disappeared."

"That's not what Ishur cares about. I know my son's life is more important to the Duke."

"Well, yeah"

The summit of Karnas is covered with snow as early as possible.

In the snow, the castle, floating in black, began to exhibit complex colors mixed with red, bright brown, and gray.

Ishur goes even higher.

"Besides... I am"

Rifia hugged Ishl from behind.

"I was so happy Ishur got the duel"

I can hear her whispering in my ear.

"You look great, Ishr"

"Ugh."

It was like being shot through the chest, it came as a shock.

Ishur solidified like a stone in the air.

I feel like I've got a big wind hole in my chest...

"Hey, Mr. Riffia! No, you can't!

Mira came screaming from the oblique back of the Ishurs.

Looking back, Sharka looks like she's going to stick around and come a little closer.

Ishur's magic works around Sharka. That makes it difficult for her to move.

"Ha"

Ishur had a grin drawn to Mira's sword curtain.

……

Refia is turning to the day after tomorrow and ignoring Mira's voice.

"Already."

Mira is pumped and angry.

"Ki, you guys. We're going to war. Let's get serious..."

Ishur's whining was too small to be heard by anyone.

"─ Norte, Silva"

In doing so, Castle Karnas was about a mile long (scar, about 650m) in a straight line, approaching to the present day, shooting magic under his eyes.

"Do you feel any danger?... the Magic Seal or the Summoning Formation."

Ishur called and inquired of his own Spirit.

"Hmm,... there is"

"I feel it, Sword Palace"

Silbastol and Northehild have each appeared to the left and right of Ishur, informing him of the presence of the Enemy Castle's magic formations in their mouths, the existence of the trap.

……

Ishur slowed down and stood still in the air overlooking Castle Carnas.

"It's amazing."

Ishur looked at the castle and said in a small voice, sighing.

"Hmmm......"

I hear a little voice of rifia behind me. She, too, was quite flattered by the sight under her eyes.

Distance is less than a mile long (scar, about 650 m) in a straight line. Carnas Castle was covered in intricate colors, with wooden parts repaired in an emergency, red rusty iron chunks of Yuri's golden magic, brand-new stone walls applied to some, and disturbed white and snowy areas, on the castle towers and walls that had collapsed in various places by burning black.

All the castles on the northern line had castle walls on the eastern and kingdom sides as well so that they could last even if they were breached and besieged by the enemy, but the United Kingdom army rushed to repair the castle walls on its eastern side, while the western walls collapsed in part rather than repaired and provided multiple stone staircases.

Many soldiers already panicked in the castle and were seen turning right and left.

At a distance, we still can't attack effectively without a more capable wizard.

This one has Norte and Silva, and you don't have to worry about the presence of the enemy spirits.

Ishur glanced at the view, which spread to the west of Karnas and beyond the mountain ridge.

The western side of the mountain ranges had a vast mountain hem, similar to the eastern side, and in the distance, forests and large and small rivers were also visible.

Slightly to the north, the distance was about five miles long (scar, more than 3 km), and we could also confirm what looked like a settlement with a military tent set up close to it. But I don't see any particular noticeable enemy movement. There is no change, not only in the army bound for Karnas, but also in Castel Cesi, which borders the adjacent Ilard castle on the south side and one watchtower on the north side.

... more detailed reconnaissance of the western side of the mountain later. If neither Ilal nor Cesi will move, just focus on Karnas. First, Norte and Silva find the magic formation of the enemies planted in the castle, all pointed out.

Ishur reached out his right hand toward the castle and pierced the magic of the wind that subdivided around him and weakened his power. Then he swung his senses of magic left, right, up, down, and diagonally, expanding his exploration from the gaps in the collapsed walls to the interior of the castle.

Rifia and Mira are silent and don't make it slight. I guess you can see Ishur examining the castle with the power of the wind.

"There was."

Indoor at the bottom of the castle tower......

"The ceiling."

It's probably engraved on the lacquer.

The magic formation is drawn downstairs, towards the floor. It starts to activate indoors, not outdoors.

If you do have a ceiling, you can delay discovery more than you would install on a side wall or floor.

Did you find it?

Rifia asks.

"Oh. In the castle. It is planted on the basement ceiling of the castle tower. I know by the dents. If it had been paintbrushed on the ceiling, I wouldn't have known if there had been any irregularities."

... I don't know if it's a magic seal or not, or a subpoena, but that's it.

While explaining to Rifia, Ishur decided to sharpen the surface of the ceiling depicted by its magic formation with the magic of the wind.

"Whoa."

"Hmm."

Two spirits raise their voices low.

Below the castle tower, you can see the grey smoke rising slightly.

"Well, shall we begin? There was no doubt that there was a magic formation, but there would be a magician or a powerful shadow, so be careful."

"Uhm."

"Okay."

……

Rifia, Mira and Sharka all nodded.

… The importance of Castle Karnas, the highest point on the North Line, is well understood by the enemy side. From the size of the castle, the number of soldiers will be at least, perhaps, manned by a powerful magician. I can also snort that the magic team was set up.

"Then Norte, Silva. Do as you're told. Mira, keep following me from behind."

As soon as Ishur finishes his remarks, he descends to Castle Karnas.

Norte Hild has been instructed to occupy just above the castle, to support from the air, such as the vigilance of the dark spirits who deploy the demonic seal formation, and to stop Sylvastre from reinforcements from the surrounding castles.

Norte descends as he follows Ishl, and Silva disappears with a much slighter brilliance of magic.

Here he comes.

As Lifia's voice appeared behind him, four light points appeared on the hitchhike, each becoming a small fireball.

……

It would be Norte sooner than Ishur would react, the magic of the wind brilliantly fireballs were blown and blood splashes rose from the castle tower.

... Now one fire magician who was on the tower, is gone.

Instead, Ishur swept away a group of archers lining the walls and connecting arrows.

Red tea smoke also flows over the walls.

"It's time for you to drop me off"

Lifia says in a calm voice.

"Okay."

Ishur turned her body in front of herself as she took Lifia's hand, which was placed on her right shoulder.

"Well, I'll let you go"

"Oh."

When Rifia smiled, Ishur nodded one thing and let go of her hand. At the same time, remove the magic of the wind.

The silver brilliant hair flashes and Refia's figure is sucked into the castle tower.

"Then I will come, too. We'll start with the east wall."

"Okay."

Mira smiled at Ishur and descended toward the castle.

As Rifia kicked the soldier on board and disappeared down the stairs into the tower, Ishur cut off the flag of the United Kingdom Army, which was flying at the top of the castle tower, and the pole of the blue field flag beside it, and blew it outside the castle.

The flag of the United Kingdom is supposedly a cup and feathers on a dull yellow land and an ancient pattern of the sun on top, once the crest of the Aunora Empire that flourished on the same land. The blue field flag belonged to the kingdom of Neumans, one of the kingdoms of Neumans and Agnia, which had shielded the Tang grass, the pattern of the sun, moon and lion in the shield, and dirty measures in Robnell.

There's no way Neumance is protecting this castle alone. Castle soldiers at Carnas Castle would have been dispatched from the main unit.

... If the opponent is Neumance, let the soldiers be pathetic but thorough.

Ishur stepped down over the saw wall (Nokokabe) of the curved wheel, the part stretched out southwest of Castle Karnas.

Rifia, who broke in from the castle tower, Mira and Sharka, who attack from the east side of the castle wall, and the castle soldiers all concentrate on them, unaware of the late descending Ishur.

As Ishur descended on the walls, several soldiers who were nearby looked back slightly and stood back and strutted their spears.

……

Ishur crushed them to pieces of wood dust with the magic of the wind the moment their gaze matched.

Countless spears followed as numerous outbursts of rage rose out of the mixed grey smoke with red blood. A castle soldier who was in the rear noticed Ishl and came to kill him.

When Ishur took a step without moving a single eyebrow, he wiped out a group of castle soldiers from every spear at once.

When I blew out the grey smoke covering my surroundings, there was nothing there, not even a drop of blood left.

Red rusty floating iron solidification that remains in the corner. Trampled and dirty snow. Behind the stakeout, in front of a stone pile building beneath the castle tower, several knights solidified in silver shining armor looked at Ishur in a dazzling manner.

Boneless stone piled castles, all collapsed and repaired by wooden planks and canvases. Nestled before them, they will probably be the castle generals of this castle and its vicinity.

From the other side of the building, the screams and stiff metal sounds of the castle soldiers being scolded by Mira echo unwittingly.

"Hey."

When Ishur turned his grin on them, he now unloaded the magic of gold.

Countless pieces of iron appeared over the heads of the knights, foggy around them, swirling with unusual speed. The glittering blink of dazzling light flashed around him, and the knights of all-body armor dusted away once in a while.

"Hmm. Is it still more effective than wind magic for defensive opponents there"

... I feel that the magic of gold consumes less magic than doing the same thing with the magic of the wind.

And one castle soldier from the entrance and exit of the building behind it, where the knights stood, was blown from within. The soldier circled his body, circling and spinning, he crossed in front of Ishur and clashed against the saw wall on the west side and stopped.

"Is that it, Ishl?

Lifia looked out of that entrance and exit.

"Looks like you're done."

Lifia was sweeping around the interior of the castle building.

It's over for me, too.

As Mira rode on Sharka's shoulder, she jumped over the boneless inn from which Refia came out and stepped down in front of Ishur.

"Good day, Mira. And Sharka."

When Ishur spoke to the two, Mira smiled and Sharka nodded with her usual faceless expression.

"You're in a hurry to drop castle."

Ishur saw the mountain hem stretching ahead as he destroyed the western side of the devastating walls, the ladders and stairs that were sprung from there down.

It would be a castle soldier in Karnas, dozens of soldiers rushing down the steep slopes, trying to roll.

Ishur did not chase them and missed them as they were.

"... Um, Ishl"

Lifia approached Ishur to speak up.

"Is something wrong?"

She has a subtle face. Did you find a new trap, a magic formation or something?

After killing the Wizard who uses the magic of fire, there were no other enemies in the castle who use powerful magic.

Norte and Silva are also quiet, with no noticeable movement in the adjacent enemy castles.

"There was a war slave in the basement."

……

Ishur slightly clouded his expression, narrowing his eyes and looking at Rifia.

"Do you think so?"

In front of me there are eight, boys to magnificent men lined up beside them. They have all worn out, their dirty faces, their hands and feet, and some of them have canes.

Once the battle had begun, they hid in a warehouse in the castle, and when they found out that their allies had attacked them, they came up to the upper floors and bowled in with Rifia, who was fighting his indoor enemies.

Ishur decided to gather them in front of the castle's inn and to quantify them.

War (wasabi) slaves refer in the main to the captive lower ranks of soldiers, or to the ordinary inhabitants captured on the battlefield. In other words, the slaves lined up before Ishur were soldiers and knights of the Kingdom of Ladis, low-status but allied.

"Well, we were unlucky and caught when they attacked us in the United Kingdom..."

"Thanks to you, it helped. Thank you."

The men thanked Ishur with their mouths. Not only were they all dressed in dirty, crude clothes, but they were thin, made their eyes squeeze, and looked pretty exhausted. It was obvious that during the occupation of the enemy he had not been fed a variety of meals and had been terribly abused for chores, such as working underneath.

"Everyone is free to use the clothes and food left in the castle. It's all right now. Go inside and rest."

From beside Ishur, Rifia said in a warm voice.

……

Ishur stared silently, silently at the faces of the eight men lining up before him.

"I'm sorry, but could you get off the mountain early if you eat dinner and get dressed appropriately? I'll write a letter to the military superintendent and give it to him."

"Hey, Ishl"

"Well... that's pathetic"

Rifia and Mira aligned from the side and expressed their dissatisfaction, but Ishur ignored and continued.

"It's not just the letter, it's going to come from me."

This evening, dozens or so of small units dispatched from the Grand Duke Knights of Fort Bendeke are to be climbed by maids put on Romir and the Refiahs, then Nina as well. There is no need to force those who work underneath.

"Heh..."

Even if the men of slavery are not dissatisfied, they nod small with an incomprehensible face or face to face with their neighbors.

"These people are a lot weaker. This castle would be safe if we were here. Why don't you take a break for a while?"

Rifia eats down on Ishl.

"Well, you can eat and rest now, anyway"

Ishur ignored Rifia and told the men.

"I cannot abandon the possibility that the shadow work of my enemies is disputed among you. That's a hassle."

Ishur glanced around at the men rather with an offensive grin. I can't feel any sympathy or pity for the prisoners on my side, I had eyes that intimidated them.

... These guys are too suspicious. This castle was protected by Neumance, who preferred plotting. Besides that magic formation engraved on the ceiling, there's probably a trap. Even though it is an important castle, I am also concerned that it could have been easily dropped...

Plus the look of these men. Is the enemy in dispute or not? If it's confusing, I can't tell who it is, not very much. Whether you get it or magic equipment, you may be hiding it somewhere in the castle right now, and you can't help checking yourself out. Then everyone better get out of the castle.

"Ishl......"

……

Lifia groans in a low voice, Mira turns into a difficult face and is silent.

When the men disappeared into the inn building, Rifia told Ishl first and foremost.

"Are you sure those people have enemies all over them? Besides, not everyone is an enemy."

"Oh. Exactly."

"Some of them have bad legs. It's so pathetic to get out of the castle in the meantime, even though there's no definite proof."

"Well, yeah,"

"Mr. Riffia. But Ishr... we have also met the enemy's plots and shadow workers with terrible eyes."

"It's... I'm listening"

Previously, Mira has told Rifia about the righteousness and kingship fights.

The lives of the Emilian sisters and Mira's best friend, Cerda Baldi, have been lost in the Holy Stone Mine.

"Well fine. It won't be a fundamental solution if we let them out of the castle anyway. There may be damage here, but let's get them set up from the enemy. Let's see how it goes for a few days."

"Okay, I get it."

"I'm sorry, Ishur. But I..."

"No, that's okay. If there are no enemies lurking in them, it is indeed pathetic to throw them out of the castle immediately. But be careful. Especially at night."

"Okay. Let's just say be careful."

Lifia nodded with temper.

"Oh."

Ishur smiled at both of them, but his inner thoughts were complicated.

... I was sweet. Do you still feel that there is a lack of experience in the battle? I had no idea there were slaves in such a small castle. I should have swept the castle, not Refia.

"If it were me..."

But could I have killed them on the spot without question?

Keep the dangerous buds picked from the ground up. It's the basics of every struggle, of course.

You could have done that to me?

Ishur stared into the darkness behind its open door at the entrance and exit of the inn where the slave men went in.

Immediately afterwards, the Ishurs followed the war slaves by first quantifying the food depot in the castle, then checking the well for poison, and collecting the bodies of enemy soldiers for a southwestern outpost in the castle.

Almost all the bodies were lifted and moved by Ishur with the magic of the wind. The movement of some indoor bodies was carried out by Sharka, Rifia and other women. What was badly damaged was crushed on the spot with Ishur's wind magic, and the wind blew and flowed into the sky. The bodies of enemy soldiers gathered in the curved wheel were also crushed by Ishur with the magic of the wind and buried in the northern sky. At that time Mira took on the proxy of the clergy, chanting the sacrament and praying that would be quoted when she mourned the dead from the sacraments of the diocese.

Then they set fire to the fireplace in a hall like the inn's supper room, and took a short break. Nearly two months after the occupation of the United Kingdom, the castle was undergoing considerable repairs to its residential quarters.

At the end of the break, Ishur put Mira and Rifia on guard inside and outside the castle, and himself climbed the castle tower to observe the western side of the mountain jealously.

The western side of the Northern Butektas Mountains is a thin edge for those of the Kingdom of Ladis, the land of the nations of the United Kingdom, but it does not look any different from the eastern side of the mountain, the kingdom side.

The only difference is that, unlike the kingdom side, which deliberately harvests trees to ensure good vision and serves as a meadow zone, the United Kingdom side has forests large and small everywhere.

Several streets ran between the woods, and several settlements were also visible in the meadows. The arable land was not so conspicuous, and its settlements were likely fortifications manned by small armies, which also served as watchdogs.

At the neighboring mountain hem, I didn't see a single large castle.

……

Ishur stared at the many tents on the slightly north side, which he had confirmed during the attack, and at the settlement where a collection of wooden cabin-like objects was gathered.

... That would be one of the enemy's supply hubs.

They're accumulating food and stuff in that place and carrying it up to the castles on the mountain.

"I will not erase everything. But I will strike."

The collapse of the barracks, even if it is partial, has a great impact on the enemy army.

Is the straight distance about five miles long (scar, more than 3 km)? Ishur reached out his right hand so that he could hold the subject in his fist.

At that moment, just about half of the countless military tents and huts strewn around the settlement were covered in grey blasts of smoke.

Intense smoke thrives in the mountains of North Brectas.

A little late, an explosion burst into Ishur's ear that swept through his stomach.

"Come on, what do we do? I took your back."

Ishur stared at the smoke blasting up into the sky west of the mountains, raising the corner of his mouth slightly and giggling damned.

Ever since we were able to gain power directly from the Spirit Realm of the Wind, the other realm, in our first battle with the Red Emperor Dragon, we have been able to wield magic even at a distance, if it is under visual acuity, to the extent that it can be perceived by the five senses strictly speaking. Even in gold magic, the experience gained in the battle beyond the dead line with the Red Emperor Dragon could be harnessed and the power of the other world could be immediately harnessed.

... gained a height with nothing to block, and the western part of the northern line was also under his eyes. That is......

It means we have a lifeline on the enemy supply line.

The voice becomes a white breath and disappears into the frozen sky.

"It's about time"

Ishur now looked back.

Far east of the mountain, I felt slight signs of moving things.

To the right of sight, a thin earthsmoke rose at Fort Bendeke in the southeast, and a horse-riding squad-like army was seen heading north on the streets of the military capital. The horseback squad was flying countless flags and headed towards the fortified city of Antilla. At the same time, several sub-units coming out of Fort Bendeke and Antilla are marching down the hill toward the Castle Line.

One unit bound for Antilla is the Grand Duchy contingent, with Petra as its Lord General, and the armies of the Horsemen who visited yesterday to pick her up.

Petra is to assemble the queens after entering Antilla and, in the name of Henrik Ladis, make a declaration to the effect that he will take command of all the armies.

Meanwhile, the squadrons marching down the mountain hem are headed from Fort Bendeke, the unit that secures the relay site in front of the Castle Line, which advanced from Antilla, as a reinforcement to Castle Carnas.

Reinforcements to Carnas included Nina, Romir, and maids with Mira and Refia, who were scheduled to arrive this evening.

"Norte."

Ishur called his own, the Spirit of the Wind.

"In front of you"

The Norte Hild appears instantly when the wind winds before Ishl.

"Norte, turn to escort the armies of your allies marching on the eastern side of the mountain. As you can see, it's small, but there's more than one unit."

Ishur said, pointing to the eastern mountain hem.

"Accepted"

When Norte Hild disappears, now I call Silva.

"Silva"

"Call me, I guess."

Silva also shows up in front of Ishl, just like Norte Hild.

Silva needs to be on alert around this castle.

"I understand."

Silva nods one and this also disappears.

As always, the enemies of the castle line do not see any noticeable movement.

"Ishur."

Looking back, Mira stood in front of the stairwell on the tower.

"It's cold..."

Mira shrugged so, leaning in line beside Ishur.

"That's quiet. The enemy has no movement at all."

"Oh."

Ishur stared at Mira's white face. The golden curly hair is shaking in the wind.

"I wonder if I've matched it up with something hard...... Sorry."

... the whiteness of Mira's side makes the beauty spicy.

It was Mira who told me you were following me. But I'm the one who brought her to a place like this.

Ishur whispered, whispering to himself.

"What are you talking about, Ishr? I don't have any hard feelings."

Mira smiles and looks up at Ishl.

"Even I have killed many before. There's nothing like this."

And as a court magician apprentice, she talked about when she was sent to the concentrated wetlands of the rivers, large and small, in the southern part of the Holy King, to exorcise the Warcraft.

One day, a team belonging to Mira and Sharka both exorcised the Warcraft from the stationed castle and went on a perimeter vigilance mission. That's when he encountered a herd of lizardmen (Lizardmans) heading north before the rainy season, and said it was a fierce battle.

"... so I killed a lot of people, and they were lizards, but there were casualties on my side, and that was a big deal."

There were several groups of lizards, roughly a thousand, on a large scale, and the troops with Mira suffered enormous damage on the verge of destruction. At the time of repelling the herd of lizards, she and Sharka were the only ones who had lost their lives and were unharmed, nearly half of them about twenty knights of escorts to a few of the troops' magician apprentices.

"I don't have any experience at all, so don't worry about it."

So suddenly, that sweet, compelling light appeared in Mira's eyes.

"… more than that, I envy you, Mr. Riffia"

"Huh?"

Ishur tried to turn himself around a little bit. But Mira grips her sleeves tight and won't let Ishr go.

"I should have been engaged to my lord."

Mira looks like a prank and stares at Ishl.

"Ishur..."

Mira suddenly clouded her complexion there this time, turning into a nasty face.

"If I had such a fiancée, would Ishur have received a duel?

Mira's long eyelashes are trembling. The seductive glow of the eyes has at some point turned into an indelible colour......

"Ah, oh. Sure."

Ishur said with his throat ringing. I made him snort over and over again.

……

Mira smiled slightly as she floated again the seductive colour.

"I'm so happy for you, Ishr."

Mira changed her expression visibly. A smile of compelling turned into a laugh of joy.

"Ishl."

Nina comes out of the line and runs towards Ishur.

In the evening, reinforcements advanced through Fort Bendeke at Carnas Castle arrived. The troops have about twenty knights of the Grand Duchy Dispatch Knights, the Magic Master is Nina only, and the others are small units of Romir and his followers.

Ishur picked up a line from the castle gate on the east side with Rifia and Mira.

"Nina!"

"Ishl. ~"

As Ishur took a step toward Nina, a shadow suddenly appeared from behind her, overtaking her and jumping on Ishur's feet.

……

Nina suddenly stops on the way.

"Romir......"

"Are you all right! Mr. Ishl."

"Oh."

Ishur sighed and looked down at Romir, who broke his face. And I turned to Nina and smiled bitterly.

... again, Romir. You again?

This guy shot Yuri Olura and got in the way the same way when he joined the lifias.

"Hehe."

Nina put her hand on her mouth and gave her a modest laugh.

"Nina, was the mountain climb tough?

Romir, who is attached to his own foot, stayed put, and Ishur smiled and spoke to her as Nina approached him.

"Yes. More importantly, Mr. Ishl and all of you, are you hurt?

"I'm fine. I'll have my stuff more than that."

"Oh, it's okay"

Ishl reaching out to Nina. Romir interrupted there.

"Mr. Ishl's dressed, because I brought it"

It wasn't just Nina, Romir, the maids of servants put on Rifia and Mira, and the knights on foot all bore simple fabric making backpacks.

The maids also speak to Mira and Rifia, saying, "I've brought you a change of clothes," etc.

"Good day, Lord Ishur. This is Sabel Mahare, who was ordered to represent the castle owner of Karnas."

Out of the leading knights, thirty or so long men came out before Ishl.

Greetings, Lord Sabel.

Sabel Mahare is one of a few hundred captains in the Grand Duke Dispatch Knights, a man who was a deputy captain. Ishur had barely spoken, but naturally, he knew his face and name.

"Hey, but I didn't expect you to drop Carnas in no time,"

Sabel looked up at the wall in front of him and said, turning his gaze around the flag of the Kingdom of Radice flying by his side.

"Now we can fly the flag of the kingdom to Balstal again… it feels innumerable"

"What, yeah. Right."

Ishl nodded with a slightly pulled grin.

... I personally don't really feel that way.

However, it does make sense that the flag of the kingdom flies to the highest point on the North Line. It will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the future of the war, on Rusla's manoeuvres.

Ishur also followed Sabel's gaze and looked up at the royal flag.

……

The grin on that face becomes cold and distorted.

But I won't let this end. I haven't slapped my fear on them yet.

It's not over yet...

Far away, not...

You can hear it right around the corner, high and soft, the whimpering sound melodies of little birds......

Someone seems to be talking to someone, whispering.

A slight light that permeates the retina.

……

Ishur woke up.

Wake up the body with the mucus. I slept on a blanketed sleeping table.

"Mr. Ischl.... What do you say?

Nina, who was right next to me, calls out.

"Oh,... yeah. It's okay."

On the way to Nina's treatment, she fell asleep.

"The wound is completely blocked. Nina, you can finish your treatment now."

"I'm glad you hardly seem to have any scars left either."

Rifia and Mira come from behind Nina.

... what are you guys. You saw it right while I was sleeping, my belly.

"Not"

Ishur looked over at the faces of the three girls as they smiled.

Behind them stands Sharka silently.

"Where did Romir go? Anyway, Nina, Mira, Refia. Why is Sharka here, too?

Ishur's sleeping room was to be used by Romir and the two of us, next to the castle lord's room that gave way to Sabel, in a room used by the knights.

While it slept, Romir disappeared, and in addition to Nina, who was coming to treat her, there were Rifia, Mira and Sharka. And there were three new sleepers, which were being carried in.

Two cantellas hang from the walls indoors and feel pretty bright. There's no fireplace in this room, but the fireplace wall in the next room is sticking out on this side, and it's not so cold if the heat's coming through.

"He also cared, and asked Ishur's squire to move into the other room. This room is too big for both of us."

"This castle is a mountain castle. Because it's narrow."

"Wow, wow, I think, yes, yes"

Nina, you'll eat too much. That......

Besides, my bed, it's the deepest way out of the door.

What if this is it? If, you can't escape.

"Refia, what have you done to Romir? I don't think you forced me to move because of the blackmail."

"What is it that people don't listen to? I wouldn't do that. That's more like..."

Lifia looked at Mira sideways.

"Is that Mira?"

"Hey, what! I wouldn't do that either. I only asked Mr. Romir in good faith, desperately."

... desperate, what is that...

"Mr. Ishur, it's okay. And don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Erlina."

And Nina says it all over her eating.

So, Nina, you're upset.

Erlina is fine. Fine, but... that doesn't make sense, does it?

Speaking of which, someone somewhere said something similar.

"Ah, oh. Well, that's fine."

"No, Lord Nina. I wonder what it means to let the Spirit watch over you."

"Nina, that's crazy."

Mira, you...... You say that?

"Oh, oh, that, that"

Ha. This is always a repetition...

Is this even without Petra and Marya? No, it's what you came for. While I'm sleeping.

……

Ishur leaned down as he dropped his shoulder and secretly sighed.

"What the fuck, Ishr? Oh, you're the one who's weird!

Lifia pointed her lips and blushed her cheeks, "Hmm."

... How betty.

"Wow, I get it. - We'd like to take turns watching the night."

Ishur said with a weak grin for a few moments.

... Silva to Norte for the night vigilance, naturally even for the Knights of the Allies, but here too, one at a time, it is better to leave the magical one out.

Outside the castle, of course, but those who were war slaves who were to stay in the castle are also concerned.

It's still before dinner, but we're all tired. While you're at it, you'd better set the order for the shifts.

"Uhm."

"Okay, I get it."

Lifia and Mira smiled and nodded.

"I'll hang in there too!

Nina replied well too. I also have a smile on her face.

... she'll be fine with Erlina too. Besides, Nina has that special attack.

Her skill now would allow her to bury her enemies without any trauma or unusual enlightenment.

"So who's the best hand to start with?

Ishur also smiled at Nina so that she could be dragged by the smiling girls.

That's when I realized.

... War brings untenable suffering to those who survive, fatigue.

They're acting bright for me, for each other.

...... Mr. Ishl, Mr. Ishl.

Someone puts a hand on his shoulder and shakes it.

……

Reminds me of a person standing in front of Ishur.

Moonlight to be given through the small window in the background. Nina is the figure that floats there.

"Time for a change."

"Yes.... no abnormalities so far,"

Nina's soft whisper. Hair running under her tickles around her clavicle.

Her face is so close.

Ishur felt himself awakened to every corner of his consciousness at the whisper of his heart.

The lights are turned off indoors and covered in blue-dyed darkness.

... Quiet.

Neither Mira nor Rifia can sleep one sleep now, and they sleep quietly. Sharka also sits in a chair at the edge of the room and looks asleep.

Ishur woke his body out of bed and whispered to Nina.

"Good day, Nina"

Ishur called Nina "off" when she got out of bed, and when she wore a feather-woven cape on her coat, she walked quietly through the room and opened the door, leaving the room.

……

When you close the door and look left and right, you turn to the stairs of the castle tower, which is at the penetration of the hallway.

The stone inn is connected to the castle tower on the north side. The hallway, where the walls burned, collapsed and some repaired with brand-new stones, has only one cantera hanging on the wall inside, blurring the area.

There is no abnormality, as Nina said. I don't feel any suspicious signs. Silva hasn't said anything either.

Norte Hild keeps him away from the castle and keeps him broadly alert, mainly on the eastern side of the mountain.

To get out on the tower, Ishur entered the castle tower and went up the stairs.

The anomaly occurred on the way up the stairs.

"Huh?

... Coming!

Simultaneously with the signs of magical activation, Silva's tense voice stuck in her heart.

The whole castle rocks with the shock of thrusting it up.

Ishur ran up the stairs.

"Damn."

It's still in those guys...

War (wasabi) slaves who were former soldiers of the kingdom, who protected them when they dropped the castle. For a moment, their figure, wrapped around the borough, plunders their brains.

The surrounding stone walls flow backwards. Silva-like magical brilliance runs from the outside, Rifia's magical flashes echo stiff sounds and vibrations.

Perhaps we could have stopped the enemy attack well in the first place.

It's a waste of time to sense using the magic of the wind.

It's quicker to go on top of the tower, go outside and look directly at it.

They've been trying to set this one up between shifts. Maybe just as I entered the small space surrounded by this wall, the stairwell of the castle tower...

I saw an exit at the end of Ishur's gaze. Whether the doors of the tower were open or the stars' glowing night sky could be seen at the end of the disappeared stairs.

A black figure stood there.

……

For a moment, Ishur thought he was an ally soldier on watch.

I couldn't feel any magical signs from the shadows.

The shadow entered the gap of Ishur, hesitant for a moment, so that it flowed.

A shadow flies towards Ishur.

A wind of violence that blows right from there, with or without mention. The shadow of black and heavy death covers the sight.

The enemy has activated the magic of acceleration as he pushes his right arm forward and towards Ishur.

... good.

It's been a long time since this pressure has popped my skin.

A professional killer.

Approaching the present, the dull glow of the shadows protruding. Just one little knife approaching the present.

But at the same time as the enemy's magic activated, Nelly's bracelet's magic of acceleration also rose. Ishur tilted his neck slightly to the right and squeezed the blade tip of the knife, sticking his right hand out to his opponent's face.

On the verge of a black shadow returning his wrist and trying to pay the knife aside, the magic of the wind was released from Ishur's right hand.

The enemy's neck blows up and disappears instantly.

Ishur kicked up his neckless torso with his right leg as he fell towards himself.

Already Ishur's whole body is covered with the magic of the wind. The enemy's torso remained intact and was flown up to the top of the tower.

The shadow exploded without sound and quickly disappeared into the night sky after becoming fine dust.

Ishur looked to the left as he jumped out onto the highway, looking down to the west side of the castle.

Part of the walls had collapsed and huge chunks of stone were protruding from the ground. Only the man-shaped, upper body of the golem appeared from the earth and stopped there. A few places from the neck to the shoulder of a block of stone, pieces of iron that emitted sharp light also pierced the night, stopping the breath roots of the stone spirits (golems).

Golem was buried by Silva before he revealed himself.

"Ishur!"

And it was a golem, and a rifia stood on the right shoulder of the stone statue that could not be done, and with the neck of the wizard of the enemy, he hoisted it as high as any day.

The enemy magician was one of the warrior slaves who wore a borough and protected him when he dropped the castle.

Inside the castle are the knights, "Is anyone hurt?" "Sabel!" and so on and so on, sporadically rising. It also conveys signs of the hasty beginnings of movement of the Ping Knights, apprentices and squire soldiers. Pine lights are lit and bonfires are lit everywhere in the castle.

... The Soil Spirit was killed in the middle of a summons. Now it's just a chunk of stone.

Silva has spoken in Ishur's heart.

"Well done, Silva.... Do you feel any other anomalies?

...... I'm fine. There is no abnormality.

Silva doesn't show up and seems to remain alert around Castle Carnas.

... There is no abnormality here either...

Far away, voices were also heard from Norte, who was alerting the eastern side of the mountain.

……

In reply to Norte, Ishur looked back.

A few steps away, a soldier on guard was down. Around the fallen man, there was a black stained blood build-up in the darkness at night.

On the east side of the castle tower, slightly down, Mira was floating in the air on Sharka's shoulder. Looks like it's hitting perimeter alert.

……

Ishur stayed in the air from the top of the tower and descended below.

"Sorry, Ishr"

When Ishur landed, Rifia also came down from a block of stone that was a golem with his enemy's demon mentor dedicated.

"My judgment was wrong... You should have let them right out of the castle and down the mountain, as Ishur said."

Mira also came right down to Ishur and said:

"Me too, Ishr. My apologies."

"No..."

Ishur was resting his war slaves, swinging small as he gazed toward the corner of the first floor of the castle.

The living room that was appreciated by them was originally used as a storage room, with enough holes in its exterior walls for each person to pass through. It would have been opened by a confused dirt magician.

"I don't have a choice. Either way, there were dead people out there."

Even if we let them all out of the castle, the enemy would have returned to Karnas on the way down the mountain. At that time, he must have killed the other slaves with his mouth sealed. There should have been no damage to the Castle of Karnas itself, as Silva would have found it at the point where the enemy approached the castle or had begun work on it.

"... nina"

At the end of Ishur's gaze, Nina appeared out of the collapsed outer wall of the room where the war (wasabi) slaves were and came out. This was followed by Sabel Mahare, acting castle owner.

"All the others have been killed. There was not a single person with breath."

"What?"

"Well."

Lifia looked faint and regrettable at the front, and Mira blued her face.

"Hey, you got hit. We also have a few casualties on our side. The walls have also partly collapsed on the west side."

Sabel has put her hands on her head from behind Nina.

Ishur told Sabel that those who stood watch at the castle tower had also been killed.

"You don't have to hurry to repair the walls. Besides, if you break this golem, it will remain stone. I'll crush it to the right size later."

"Thank you for that. … but did you also take care of the castle tower?"

Sabel said without distorting his face. The enemy who had set up the sabotage was not one of the magic leaders of the earth. The enemy who killed the castle tower watch and attacked Ishur was a shadow-working man accustomed to fighting, assassinating.

In the evening, the Ishurs consulted Sabel Mahare, acting castle owner, on the treatment of those who had become war (wasabi) slaves of the enemy army.

War slaves are knights' squires and gathered peasant militias, of low stature but no different from being nationals of their own country.

Sabel, in the same opinion as Rifia and Mira, gave them adequate meals and rest for now, to be returned to Bendeke or Antilla at a later date.

However, drawing Ishur's opinion, he decided to gather them in one room and, at night, set up a guard for surveillance in front of the door.

The slaves were randomly pulled out of one of the main castles on the northern line, Castel Murdo, without knowing each other's faces or names. Then we don't know if the enemy is in dispute. It doesn't make much sense to have clothes and belongings again. Because small arms and magic equipment can be easily hidden anywhere in the castle.

Sabel treated them generously but on the other hand monitored them and treated them uniformly to make it difficult to take action.

"The guard who was letting them stand in front of their room was also killed."

When Sabel said so, Ishur told him that he had been attacked by an armed shadow work on the stairs of the castle tower and had returned it.

"The guards of the tower, the slaves and the guards must have done the shadow work that attacked me."

"Are the enemies that were lost in slavery one shadow worker, one dirt magician, and a total of two?"

"This castle was protected by the Kingdom of Neumance.... Forgive me."

Sabel was followed by Rifia saying in a hard voice.

"You sure can't forgive me..."

Mira narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice. Her shaped eyebrows are rising all the time. That's the look on your face when you're in a bad mood.

"The enemy is also aware of the importance of this castle. That's all that's coming."

Ishur grinned lightly, looking up at the northern night sky. I saw the mountain ridges, lined with castles on the north line.

Karnas recapture was not the only first battle for Balstal recapture proposed by Ishur to Rusla.

Ishur was waiting for a letter from Rusla, an enemy formation that would probably be brought in a few days.
