Episode 132

"Oh, it has started"

I was watching the battle in the woods near Wonggang.

The view overlooking the branches of the big tree is quite good.

"It's hard to find here, is it safe?"

"I can't feel safe at all! This is something!"

Clinging to me is the New Lieutenant Kite.

Looking at it, the escort werewolf laughing.

"If you fall, I'll catch you, so don't worry?"

Monza looked into it with fun, but the kite screamed.

"Do not shake the branches! Don't fall!"

"So, if it's okay if you fall,"

"I don't want to fall! So stop it!"

That's counterproductive against Monza, my deputy.

This is because there's a little bit of a kitten in a rat.

Kite shouts and screams as she shakes her branches, but she shows me a lieutenant soul.

"I don't think a deputy would normally come to battlefield reconnaissance, so don't shake it!"

"Usually normal"

If you think that the Demon King Army is an ordinary army, it is a big mistake.

The kite is safe if Monza is on, so I check the battlefield with a telescope.

The infantry in the camp are civilian soldiers as informed. Everyone wears a simple spear for civilian soldiers from everyday wear and carries a long spear.

"I just feel like I'm there."

Grandfather Wod, who had a long experience on the battlefield, muttered while looking into the telescope.

"I don't think it's going to be an assault anymore. If that's the case, I want you to hire me."

"Isn't that a 'forced capture of militia soldiers as consumables'?"

Then Wadd laughs happily.

"I can't do that. Look at that insane face.

So city capture means that another force will run.

I turned and ordered the Hammam squad.

"Get as close to the battlefield as possible and gather information about the incoming troops. If possible, have a conversation with the soldiers."

"Leave it to you, Lieutenant"

Hammam nods at a few words and checks his luggage. The contents are wound medicine and amulet of Kiyokyokyo.

"I pretend to be a peddler, as good as my deputy."

Oh, it's unusual for Hammam to make a joke.

But he immediately continued.

"I often hide in caravans ..."

"Before you come to the hiding village, don't pry, so focus on your mission now."

"Okay, Lieutenant"

It looks like he was doing a pretty dirty job, but let's not ask. Now he's a serious and polite subordinate.

At that time, a kite using wide-area detection magic made a nervous voice.

"Weid-san, there are many magical waves in front of the Wonggang castle gate!

I had an instantaneous knot, and immediately checked his pointing direction with a telescope.

At the next moment, several explosive white lights burst out.

`` What, what !? ''

The members of the Werewolf Corps stare in that direction all at once.

Inside my telescope, soldiers with long canes were in line.

The wand is curved, just like a medieval matchlock or musket. The attitude was the same as a gun.

Apparently, it's a large version of "Magical Book".

"Kite, did you analyze the current magic wave?"

"Yes, it's close to destructive magic. The closest thing is the light bullet spell."

The early story is the magic beam. It emits light because some of its power leaks as visible light.

When used as a destructive magic, aiming and guiding takes a lot of stupid work, and the penetration power is low, so you can not penetrate the armor. In addition, it is a completely unusable spell that makes a small mistake when it is ready.

"Um, what's up ... about 20 shots. I'm shooting so beautifully."

I shake my head to the kite tweet.

"I wouldn't do this if I chanted it normally. It's probably the arm of the Rolmund army. Look, the power is extraordinary."

Wonggang's proud iron gate glows red and ignites the wood under the iron plate. It was a terrible amount of heat. If it is 20 shots, it is the power of the teacher class.

Monza whistled and looked back at me.

"Captain, is that a weapon, not a magic? Can it be used for me?"

"I don't know. I couldn't rely on it because I was able to use it and lost to the bow and arrow at its range."

The unit that attacked earlier was also shot while being protected by a friendly shield. An arrow has been shot into the gap, and damage has already appeared.

Grandfather Wod tweeted.

"But it's ridiculous. It's about to break through the gate."

"For that reason, there are no signs of militia movement."

Milaldia Liberation Army soldiers are simply shouting out of reach.

Then, a cavalry-like group protruded from the back row.

However, the appearance of the animal on board seems to be not a horse. Birds, like ostriches.

"Hey General, what is it?"

Jerikh twists his head curiously, but I saw it for the first time.

"I don't know. There was no such animal in the master's collection. It resembles a dragon race dragon."

Just as dinosaurs and birds are of a surprisingly close variety, so are dragons and birds.

Are you well-tamed bird-type monsters?

As we watch, the cavalry on the bird rushes with his wand like a gun. The number is about forty to fifty. With the support of a friendly army, he was sucked into the castle gate.

"That's Princess Eleora's" Magic Battalion "? He has interesting equipment."

"I'm not impressed, Mr. Weid. A tremendous amount of magic waves are being observed from the city."

It's like flashing. The scent of blood flowing from the battlefield has become denser, although it is not visible because of the walls.

The PLA has not lost since the castle gate has been broken. In that case, all the civilian soldiers need to enter.

After a while, the Hammam squad returned.

"The deputy officer, the troops that entered are said to be" Princess Eleora's Guard "and" Magic Battalion. Soldiers were rumored. "

I guess so.

"Do you know anything about the scale and equipment?"

"Everyone seems to be about a hundred or two hundred. No other details seemed to be revealed."

Don't worry about that number.

Hundreds of people have a special meaning to humans.

Just as in previous life, it is believed that humans have spent a long and long hunting era in groups of about a hundred.

Since human psychology was formed during this period, it is said that a close group with a common philosophy is one measure of one hundred people. I learned that it was optimized to do that.

I don't know if it's true in this world, but it's almost the same because we're building a similar society.

So the number "one hundred to two hundred" has a significant psychological significance. For Elleora, it might be like a "flock" of werewolf.

Of course, even in military terms, subordinates from faraway countries are important. It would be difficult to refill.

Is it a good idea to put an important trump card here in such a dual sense here, or is it hard to afford Princess Eleanor?

I need to check this in the future.

Hopefully it could be used to bargain with her.

"Isn't there any other Rolmund force?"

"Nobody looks at Rolmund soldiers other than 'Magic Battalion'."

Combat in the city is still going on, but if the battle calms down, the probability of finding us increases. I'm sorry, but let's pull it off.

"Hamam Corps, I'm tired. I'll go home before I can find it."

When I ordered, the whole wolf squad nodded and jumped off the tree.

"Wow wow"

I carry the kite clinging to the swaying branches.

"Kite, did you keep a record of their" sticks "?"

`` Mah, of course, wow!

I jump off the top of the big tree while carrying my kite.

I flew the soft mulch and dead leaves and landed, and I cut off the wind with my friends and started running.

"Cho, Weid-san!

"Okay, we'll get used to it."

Let's hurry home.
