Shizukuishi's concerns were quickly corroborated.

A large amount of magic was detected from upstream of the Eyre River as if it were a pulse of ground itself.

However, its magic was almost undetected when it examined the river's water by the city, somewhere...... I mean, using that watergate kind of equipment...... it looked like it was being pulled out.

The river is the way.

Beyond being a path as a concept, it can certainly be used as a path through something magically. The water is physically running, so much so that we can say it's suitable for the amount of magic flowing from upstream to downstream.

Even if it is possible, the objection of whether to normally come up with such a thing and implement it would be greatly acceptable.

In other words, the army of demons is carrying magic from the Great Forest into the pulse of the kingdom of Lugart, which they have placed under their power, and by some means into the river Eyre to carry it downstream to the present day of Traunil.

Originally, the defensive side securing ground pulses in urban defense battles gains an overwhelming magic resource advantage.

But now it was completely reversed.

With the sound of lightning striking, colorful light strikes the universe.

Attack with a magic projectile, no physical projectiles.

Light shells fly like midday meteors, and are offset by defensive mechanisms if hit by city walls or bases. Magic bullets emitted by ballistics aimed inside the walls were scattered, inhibited by walls of light that unfolded to cover the city.

Naturally, we have tried to counterattack from the city side, but the demons who attack also have defensive equipment… It is equipped with a massively magical barrier deployment device, which is originally used for urban defense, to prevent counterattacks. When the walls of light unfolded, just like the city side, they were playing shells to protect the cannons and soldiers.

If you can't penetrate the enemy's defenses, it's a waste of magic. The Blue Army immediately stopped fighting back and made a thorough decision on defense.

Two days after the siege began.

The constant gunfire had even prevented citizens from sleeping, fuelling anxiety and despair.

The wall of the Commander's Office at the Rock Fort depicts a graph of the right shoulder lowering.

It's the amount of Demon Stone the city stores.

The demons' cannons will burn everything down when their magic runs out and they can no longer defend themselves.

We have to open up the situation before that happens. However, you can't strike out helplessly as you are constantly exposed to artillery fire and see even more weapons for interpersonal attacks.

"Can't reinforcements make it after all..."

Shizukuishi looks at the graph and roars.

We had already requested reinforcements from the Blue Army main unit by correspondence, but perhaps the magic would run out before reinforcements arrived.

And, if it is, we will have to somehow break the siege with the force at hand and the force deployed in the stronghold of the Great Forest. We've already got the troops on the forest side ready for a traunil rescue.

The amount of magic that can be used in times of need is decreasing over time, so action should have been taken as soon as possible.

"Commander, may I have a moment?"

"Come in."

There are those who knock on doors embedded in rock walls.

It was Shizukuishi Shizuku's deputy, Yansheng. Being a middle-aged man, he was a former soldier of a country conquered by the Empire, a man with a kind of historical military talent, but whose birth was not fulfilled because of his family, and who moved to the Imperial Army to show more of a headline.

"... Check this out"

Yansheng handed it to Shizukuishi, a newspaper whose wrinkles stopped as if it had also been trampled by a horse.

"'Traunil Falling Soon!' 'Has the Blue Army abandoned its citizens'... What is this?

"It's a fake from The Kamlhaan Daily News. It was dated yesterday and is almost identical to the real thing, but only some articles have been replaced by one about the battle in this city.

Earlier, a giant bird demon crossed the city, and from there, it was scattered across the city. "

The current state of war is explained in a newspaper-like style, accompanied by a scythe or even a floating picture (cartoon) of the enemy army's oddities and the depletion of demonic stones on the city side. Even if the newspaper itself is fake, it is disastrous that there are no lies in the content of the article itself.

It was content enough to incite the fear of 'dying as it is'. Those who are calm may realize that they are fake, but few are calm now.

"Other things like this"

Yansheng retrieves a flyer printed large in red with the 'Surrender Recommendation'.

It seems that it is directed at the citizens, not the Blue Army, and that if we surrender and open the gates of the city, we will save lives; furthermore, we will provide potions to save the city from the plague.

Otherwise the blasphemous contents of killing all the Blue Army men and having them serve in the Siel-Teira diaspora as the dead were written.

"Along with this flyer, about 100 potions were thrown down to treat the plague.

It was all cracked by the impact of the fall... "

"Let's just get ready to burn the city."

I am fed up and Shizukuishi orders.

"It's something that's going to hang a nasty shake.

But I hope we don't get it right. This one can't be shaped either, so we just fight rationally. "

If you are willing to protect the city properly, these shakes may have worked effectively.

But Shizukuishi has already abandoned his citizens. It even weaves and moves to turn to the enemy.

We're preventing shelling the city right now, only because even if we abandon the city, they'll just become attacked intensively, beyond the fact that their aim is magic exhaustion.

It was also fortunate that the epidemic of the plague had led to the separation of the city from the position. There is no problem for the Blue Army to cage where they have cut off the city, just keep the magic from turning and the city will be powerless.

If anything happens to the people of the city, it's just a matter of processing.

After that, you just need to purify it so it doesn't become undead.

That's all I could do, and Shizukuishi thought that was enough.

"Up......"

Rene, who watched the shootout from the golden throne, felt like she had something to put up from her chest.

"Princess? How you doing, sir?

"Just food (...) be (...) over (...) gi (...) So never mind.

… I think we can fight this well "

"Are you left-handed?"

Alastair beside him cares, but Rene wasn't feeling any stranger, he was rather recovering.

Rene was injured by a miracle weapon that the elves had stored, which he had given more than the Great God in past wars.

Those weapons were terrible in a former battle, and even though they had faded in strength after an even longer period of time, it was an attack that wouldn't be strange if the normal undead had vanished.

Eating a fine soul is probably the best way to recover from this wound, but it's probably not until this battle is over that you can eat Saresaya, the next prey for Rene. So this was the next best thing I ever did after Operation Siege.

The people of Traunil are frightened of the plague and angry at the Blue Army's inadequate response, while fearing the impending Siel-Teira exile.

Combined, intense negative emotions elevated like echo chambers within closed walls were the best meal for Rene.

Rene's body is a spiritual body, eating people's negative emotions, a demon called Avis Spirit.

If you are exposed to so many intense emotions, you will be able to fight for at least a short time without any problems. It's like being forced to move your body with pain meds and kanflux...

"The enemy army still seems to have the soul to abandon its citizens."

Alastair thinks the report is being compiled and says what he feels as he turns the paper bundle.

"It doesn't look like you're going to get your foot together. riots?"

"I'm letting the merchants diving into the city hold the money and the medicine and get the information, but thank you. The Blue Army seems to be threatening me pretty tight. All those who would be in a leading position are contained.

It seems like it's only a matter of time before something happens, but it's unclear if it's going to be fatal. "

"You just lost to the Blue Army in this country. Few people have the energy to defy..."

Rene takes a look at the city, which presents a glimpse of the daytime fireworks, and savors the emotions that come out of it.

That, indeed, may have been repressed anger, trampled humiliation because of the lack of skill to exchange. It's delicious enough to float, but I can't even relax and taste it.

If it's true, it would have been great if there had been a riot at the same time as the Blue Army came out, but it doesn't seem to go so well.

"Well, I'll be good because I play the least part.

Continue your attack with the intention of depleting your opponent's demonic stones within two days. "

"In your favor.

… you'll be cutting off the paralysis and setting it up. "

Rene nods.

I had already grasped that the troops that were consolidating positions inside the Great Forest were trying to move towards this one.

There will be no other way to break the siege than to use that unit.

And one more hand.

"... In the Empire, you refer to an unrivaled level of strength as a 'special fighter'?

"Yes, it is also a soldier used to slap prominent opponents."

"You're making that sort of classification right. It's more advanced than letting the lords direct their own ministers."

"The Knights of the Royal Palace in the former Sierra Teira were similar.

Let's just say the entire Knights were 'special fighters', a collection of brilliant soldiers from all over the country… they were far inferior in quality compared to the Empire's "

Unlike the third planet in a solar system where Rene lived in his previous life, in this world, there are even monstrous powerful men in the human race who fist crack steel armor and scratch even when trampled by elephants. Those who gain magical physical abilities beyond the laws of physics as they gain experience in battle.

They are strategic weapons in the form of people on the battlefield, making them the biggest threat to easily kick hundreds and two hundred if they are miscellaneous opponents.

If I ram them, the battle will be decided. The countermeasure is a stone to hit an equivalent strong man.

It was the battlefield landscape where the paranormal bumps of the strong occur (the aftermath alone could blow up hundreds of soldiers...) beside the standardized soldiers in a mass battle.

No matter how many one-sided battles you say you can fight, you will suffer wounds and you will be fatigued. If the enemy's trump card targets you there, there's not a single one, so even the unrivaled strong are concerned with handling it.

Is it time to settle for a dominant battle… or do they have to fight a risk-aware and unscrupulous battle?

"Our army will prepare for the Special Combatants."

"Do that."

René, who is sucking up the emotions around him, has some idea not only of the city of Traunil, but also of the Blue Army position built adjacent to it.

I can't even say I'm hopeful, but they weren't desperate yet.
