Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Commander-in-Chief, give me your orders!

Boot returns to me with a man shouting in front of him.

Call for reinforcements!

What about reinforcements?

The man repeated Boot's words with a grim expression on his face.

"Let's set up an ambassador for reinforcements! Go!"

Boot's rage echoes. The man bowed his head and left the scene behind. Seeing that, Boot stood up and left the tent.

I was wondering if the commanders were gathering, but there was no one there. I was surrounded by silence that I didn't expect to be attacked by the Agarta army. Perhaps the man was a dream. When I started thinking about it, my son Therma appeared in front of me.

"Father, give me your order!"

What the hell are you talking about? Earlier, we heard that the Agarta forces had switched to the offensive, but it has not been explained where the enemy is attacking. There was no way I could give instructions under such circumstances.

Describe the situation.

Therma gave a troublesome expression. From this, I realized that the attack on the Sephard army was not the last time. Perhaps, as soon as the Agarta offensive began, the commanders rushed to their positions. And I came to let myself know that I was all set.

It was obvious that it was the son Therma who waved the ruling in front of him. Other commanders would never do this. It is an ultra vires act. It's the act of flying your head if you're not good at it. There was no one in the Empire who tried to defend his army to the point of sacrificing himself. Among them, there was no one who could be blamed for building without leaving his son Therma.

He began to explain politely, pointing to the map on the desk.

"About thirty minutes ago, a scout reported that the Agarta army had suddenly stopped its march and was on its way. I immediately command everyone to return to their positions and hold on to it.”

What's the position of the Agarta army?

"We don't know yet."

"Twenty thousand soldiers must be on their way." I don't know, what's going on with you! "

"We have not received any news that we have entered the battle." Besides, it's night now... "

Boot exhaled and turned his gaze to the sky. Sure enough, there's still time at dawn. I feel the air is clear because the temperature is falling late at night. Therefore, the starry sky glistening in the sky seemed to shine more beautifully than usual.

"But that's right. It must have been thirty minutes ago that the enemy turned to the offensive." If so, it seems that Agarta's lead forces may attack our forces or see the enemy and move to attack. "

"... well, it's night now. I don't think you're going to do anything stupid to brighten up your surroundings and let your enemies know where you are. It is likely that the enemy is carefully climbing the mountain while checking our position in the darkness.”

"... when it comes to dawn, when the surroundings are brightened up, the battle will finally begin."

In response to Boot's words, Therma nodded slowly. I was satisfied with this. I didn't wake myself because I saw the start of the fight. If so, we need to fortify our defenses first. You can come and wake me when it's done. I see, this son knows it well, Boot muttered in his heart.

We have gathered soldiers on the mountain road leading to Mitos.

In response to Therma's words, Boot nodded heavily. That's the only way up to this mountain from the Mitos side. There is also a road on the west side, but it is very unlikely that Agarta's troops will come from there. There are Matukal forces on the west side, but they are either occupying Norno territory or still fighting. If so, it would be more effective to allocate forces to the Mitos side of the road. Currently, the Séfânde army occupies the area near the top of the mountain. In the morning, if you can see your enemies, you can immediately reverse them. That way, no matter how mighty the Agarta army is, it won't be free. Boot murmured in his heart that our army still had the upper hand in this battle.

"I'm going up to the top of the mountain."

“How's it going?

"Don't you understand! To take command at dawn."

"I understand." I will tell everyone. "

In response to Therma's words, Boot jerked his jaw.

The soldiers came at once. Then, I climbed the mountain with Therma. Climbing is just a few hundred meters away. We can get there in five minutes.

……

When I looked around, it was dark and pitch-black. But the eastern sky was getting brighter. I could see that the horizon was gradually brightening up. It's almost dawn... You can see the bonfire burning brightly underneath. Needless to say, this is a Sefund army. I thought maybe I could see the torch of the Agarta army, but I couldn't confirm it in Boot's eyes.

... I wonder how Agarta managed to get up this mountain. Slowly, as if crawling through the earth? No, it's a dry tide now, and there's a sandy beach at the foot of the mountain. Perhaps the Agarta army is returning to the sandy beach that appeared in the dry tide, pretending to attack, and heading towards the capital of the kingdom of Mitos...

That's what I was thinking when I heard the soldiers making noise. That is, I thought the battle had begun, but apparently it wasn't a fight, it sounded like soldiers were arguing.

“What are you doing! If you make a scene, they'll know where we are! Somebody tell me to be quiet!"

At Boot's behest, one of the soldiers rushed out like a deserter.

I wonder if anyone has calmed down. The noise subsided and the surroundings were silent again. At night, it was beginning to whiten.

... I heard something disturbing. It sounds like something's broken. At the same time, there was a cheering that seemed to be the soldiers.

“Oh my God! What's going on! Report it!"

Boot looks around with his eyes wide open.

Congratulations!

Soldiers are coming at us at full speed. He knelt down in front of the boot and started to speak quickly.

"It's an attack by the Agarta army!" The Agartan attack has begun! ”

"Defeat them! Tell them to stay where they are!"

Hah!

The man quickly stood up and ran back the way he had come. I wonder if the surroundings are starting to brighten up, but the situation is getting a little grasped. Apparently, the Agarta army was climbing the mountain road on the side of Mitos, as expected. It seemed to be charging with a spear, but it also seemed to be attacking.

"Alright, give all armies an order to attack!" Push, push, push, push back the Agarta army! "

Commander-in-Chief! Look at that! "

Return to me with a single voice from the Commander. Looking at the man's point, there was a group of black people on the ridge to the north. It was definitely the Agartan army.

"Oh, you're climbing the ridge on the north side..."

"There must have been a Noono army at the top of the mountain..." Thinking that far, Boot has a hard time. Yes, Agarta's other brigade attacked and the Noono army must have retreated. Agarta was after this operation from the beginning. Without launching an attack in vain, a group of troops attacked at the same time as they were climbing the ridge to the north. It's not good as it is. Conversely, there was a danger that the Sephardic forces would be reversed.

Congratulations!

The man's screams echoed as if blocking Boot's thoughts. A message. The man opens his mouth while breathing on his shoulder.

"A group of Agartan troops are attacking the south side of the road." Our army, which was pushed to the flank, is retreating! "

Tell them to stop it!

Got it! One more thing. A group of people are heading our way from the western mountain road! Probably an Agarta army! "

"Father! Then we will be completely surrounded! Father!"

It was dark before Boot's eyes.
