Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Escalina was looking around. She felt the same as me.

"It smells like a beast..."

Beast?

"... the stench of the beast."

I don't feel that smell, but it seems to be felt by Escalina. I looked at Sidi, but she didn't seem to feel it either. My neck is tilted.

I tried to unfold the map. Hell, there were only humans around us. There was no reaction from the beasts that would be in the mountains.

This is a common phenomenon. Tens of thousands of troops collide with each other, and the beasts can disappear. You probably think about avoiding collateral damage. However, there were times when high ranking monsters came to attack. I thought maybe that's why I didn't like it earlier, but it seems to be different.

"We should end this battle as soon as possible." The longer this battle continues, the more sacrifices will be made... "I have such a feeling."

Sidi mutters without saying anything to anyone. Of course I'll do the same. That's why I'm here.

Nevertheless, the fate of the troops surrounding Castle Casa was the first to be lit by the wind. The enemy is ready to crush the Sauerfund Empire, surrender or die in the castle. With that option, we have no choice but to surrender as long as we're not out of our minds.

Come on, let's go back to the Mansion.

That said, I set up a barrier to disappear and walked towards where the transfer barrier was.

I'm sure Julia will find us again and look around, but when she does, she'll just have to say that Sidi wasn't feeling well. Thinking like that, when I entered the mountain, I suddenly saw Sadakichi in front of me.

What's up, Sadakichi?

It's important.

What's the matter?

Malvern is gathering.

What do you mean?

Malvern gathered at the top of the mountain south of here. That number is two hundred. "

Why is that so important?

According to Sadakichi, a dragon named Malvern usually lives in groups of several animals. Each has a strong sense of territory, and instead of invading the territory of others, they do not let their own territory be invaded. They usually have a relaxed personality, but once their territory is invaded, they seem to be frantically attacking with death.

That Malvern is gathering. They say this is a fairly unusual phenomenon. Sadakichi continues to say more words.

Perhaps it was in this battle that Malvern's territory was razed. It seems that they are coming to attack here. "

"Uh, wait a minute." Are they coming to attack...? "Could it be that it's bad?

Although it is a medium-sized dragon. They're not intelligent, but they can fly and they can throw up braces. If it were to attack with two hundred cats, the humans here could even be annihilated. ”

Thank you very much, Sadakichi. Could you tell Malvern that we don't feel like trespassing on our territory? ”

I'd like to, but that's impossible. As we approach, we are intimidated in a tremendous way. I don't think I can afford to listen. "

All right. Thank you very much. Keep watching Malvern. ”

Yes, sir.

That's what Sadakichi said and disappeared.

Expand the map to expand its scope. I can see the red dyed part on the edge. Looks like this is Malvern.

"You better run."

Sidi's voice was becoming more serious. She turned around and turned her gaze to the sky.

“Malvern is after us. At this rate, we will take a heavy toll on those here. I feel that the Safando and Noono-Elsmo armies would rather flee than attack the barrier with less damage. Lady Linus, let's go back. Let's go back and tell everyone to run.”

"Okay, but I'm the only one who's coming back." Sidi and Escalina are coming home. "

"Ehh... but..."

"Go home."

“No, I think we should stay.”

And Escalina?

"Yes. I have such a feeling..."

"Alright, but if you decide it's dangerous, I'll put up a transfer barrier and send you back to the Imperial City." Do you understand? "

Sidi nodded. Escalina was unresponsive, but she interpreted it as a yes.

I turned my heel and got down the mountain quickly.

Oh! Lord Kenshin!

When I came out of the mountain, I met a party of Holm. He waves at me with a smile. [M]

"What's the matter, here." Worried about the enemy? It's alright. Our surrender recommendation is generally accepted. I also agreed to dig a hole. Hostage-taking has been shown to be difficult, but I think the Commander will be convinced that he will withdraw as soon as the work is done. ”

I run at full speed to the Holm and relay the information I've heard from Sadakichi. At that moment, his complexion changed.

Really?

“Yeah, I won't tell you where it came from, but it's definite.”

"Gray Sahara..."

"Gray Sahara?"

“The same thing happened about a hundred years ago. Malvern swarmed in and killed all the humans. At that time, I heard it was a few dozen, but this time it was too big..."

"Prepare to flee immediately."

Hey!

And Holm nods to those around him who were restrained. They scattered, not listening to the instructions.

"I will tell this to Honjin. And so does Lord Kensington."

"The speed of my legs will be different between you and me." Please go ahead. It's okay, we'll be right after you. "

"... Very well. My men are telling Castle Casa what happened earlier." We will catch up with him, and he will come back to us. Get him and have him guarded. My name is Sistine. "

Siste-san, right? Ok. Hurry up. "

Inspired by my words, Holm ran towards the main army. Even though they were equipped with armor, they were moving lightly as if they were not equipped with anything. Fast legs, too. Bad scaffolding, agility is a big deal.

It was known from the moment he met that he possessed a high level of physical ability. It is different from the way I walk.

Because everyone is wearing heavy armor, their steps are heavy. But he walked in such a way as not to feel the weight of his armor. You've trained quite a lot, and if you look at the treatment from the cadets, you'll see a beating from a soldier.

That's him and his men. I'm sure they'll get us all out of here.

The biggest concern is the soldiers at Castle Casa. Probably by the time the dryness comes to a limit. With that in mind, it would be quite a burden to retreat. At the very least, I'd like to give him a drink full of water, but if he does, he'll eat Malvern's assault.

Escalina, can't we rain on Castle Casa?

"... I can, but I can't do that much"

"Is that so..."

At that time, near the top of the mountain, a large number of birds were seen flying toward the west. It's creepy, as if it's a warning of danger. Malvern may be on the move.

"I've got the map rolled out again..."
