The morning after returning from the camp of the Devil's Army.
I am now in a dormitory reserved for dragon jockeys.
This place is bigger than other town quarters, allowing many dragon jockeys to stay.
Multiple flying dragons are always present because they often carry heavy towns in countries traveling outside the country.
But now it's in time of war. I'm on a reconnaissance mission that corresponds to that of Fei Long.
A dragon jockey returned to his quarters alone.
"Good luck. Is it a patrol?"
One of the long-time dragon jockeys in the town of Saul is back. I've seen him several times, too.
"Yeah. I just took turns."
"It's tough. Was there an enemy shadow around?
"I flew cautiously, but not at the moment. We dragon jockeys are responsible for the safety of our residents. You can't spare bones in front of them. There's a patrol in there since noon, so I'll give you a break."
"Really? Rest easy."
The dragon jockey walked into the room, meeting lightly.
The patrol from the sky by the Fei Long has been directed in all directions since before the rising of the sun.
If this is so harsh, you won't be ambushed unless you have too much time... but you can also be dropped a flying dragon on patrol.
I want to look around with my own eyes if possible, but I want to give priority to healing sharazard wounds with holes in my body, and it's a troubling place.
"After all, can't we close the gates that lead to each town"
Why the town of Saul could have become one of the seven largest cities.
That's because this is the gateway to the merchants and the movers, and it's the relay point for other towns.
There is still a small influx and exodus of people into town.
There is no such thing as near the border, and if you try to go outside the streets, people with luggage, etc. get stuck. It's finally through the streets amidst all the difficulties.
You can't squeeze out the people who use it.
I guess that's why I can't close the gate.
Other things, I think, have to do with the satellite city in the town of Saul.
As the streets connecting the other satellite cities are concentrated in the town of Saul, closing the gates and regulating access will cause other towns and villages trouble.
"For that matter, I'm in trouble when they occupy this place."
Defenders are investing in defense, but things aren't perfect.
Sometimes some gear goes crazy and the whole thing can be affected.
"I think I'll fly once, too."
In this war, they're not going to use the help of the moving-country.
It's a friendly country and we have a military alliance. Why? I thought so, but Her Majesty seemed to want to prevent it from becoming a muddy war.
When the dragon kingdom plays big with the moving-country, the demon kingdom also joins hands with the merchant kingdom, and there is a great war that divides the continent.
If that happens, failure to identify the trigger could result in unexpected damage.
Sometimes we are currently challenging the demonic kingdom to fight alone, and the atmosphere of not wanting to be involved in the future has been conveyed by Her Majesty the Queen by ending the local battle here alone.
"But on the other hand, the demon kingdom is willing to get involved, isn't it? That's why I want to lose Dayuan."
That's what he said. Daiyuan is... well, that's it.
And the word demon kingdom is willing to get involved.
It wasn't until a little later that I understood what that meant. [M]
At this point, neither the intention of the Demon King nor the meaning of Her Majesty's words were known exactly.
In a hurry, a single flying dragon came down to the dragon square.
The dragon clerk rushes over.
The dragon jockey was a young man still looking in his twenties.
Deposit the dragon with the dragon clerk and the person goes straight to the lord's hall.
Something happened, I see.
A little while later, rumors came to me.
The Dragon Nation Army, which left here, finally hit with the Demon Nation Army.
○
Waking up early in the morning, General Iliel glanced at the end of the street where the Devil's Army would be, trying to soak his face with a wet towel his men had brought.
Late last night, there were reports from the Libros, Goes teams that they were finished preparing.
I checked the prep quicker than I thought.
"Get Derez here."
When General Iliel gives instructions to his men, he slowly moves to the tent for the meeting as he looks at the soldiers.
"Derez, I'm here."
"Morning, quick, but I want to know what happened last night"
"Yes. Three enemy shadows have been identified in the security net laid by our team around the camp. All of them are retreating as soon as they are found by our team."
"What's the pursuit?
"I haven't. There was also the possibility of positive motion."
"Um, very much. So do you think the enemy could have come this far?"
"No, I don't think you messed with the thick security net here. I don't think we have any enemies to reach."
To Derez, who said confidently, General Iliel nodded contentedly.
Dragon kingdom and demon kingdom have different ability to defy enemies.
The enemy scouts have to retreat just as the flying dragon stares from above and the walking dragon runs around the perimeter.
You would think that a power reconnaissance or something like that would be impossible even if you made a mistake.
So few...... there's only one way to explore this place, as close as it gets softly on its own, for example.
"You were right to remain vigilant about undercover. A little early, but our army starts marching on this. Derez team ahead, strive to eliminate enemy shadows."
"Yes, sir."
If we are to carry out yesterday's operation, we must first wear it to a place that will be a battlefield.
Breakfast is delayed, but General Iliel thought it would be easier to deal with laying down formations first.
After Derez leaves the tent, he calls in his men and tells them what to do.
"Notify all troops. Begin moving sequentially. Get ready to pull the line out as soon as you can."
After his men ran away, the general left the tent and looked up into the sky.
There is a sky with no clouds.
"I hope they settle by the end of the day."
Yesterday, according to a report by a dragon maniac who scouted from the sky, the Demon Nation Army concentrated its forces, and quite a few soldiers were mobilized this time.
The dragon kingdom is still relative only to the local army.
Apparently an army has been dispatched from the Wang capital, but we have not yet arrived in the town of Saul.
"You'd better use it to defend the city in time,"
Different order lines can also result in a retrograde pull on your leg.
With that in mind, I received a report that the advance party was ready.
"All right, let's get out of here."
For the showdown, the Dragon Nation Army set in motion.
It seemed to have done its job to start moving early in the morning, and I was able to get to my destination earlier than the Demon Nation Army.
"Reinforce surrounding enemies and then set up fences."
Reports from Fei Long indicate that there is still time for the arrival of the enemy.
Even as we slowly prepared for it, we seemed to make it enough.
"How's the Devil's Army? Anything unusual?
"He's on the mountain road. He's stopped in front of us."
"Stop marching? I wonder if they've noticed our intentions."
"You'll be releasing scouts. You'll have a bad view from the entrance to the mountain road, and you'll be on guard."
"That said, there is no other way. I think we're gonna have to move on."
"Yes, they think you're wary of the trap."
"Probably so.... All right, let this scourge pull off. If the dragon is watching from the sky, it's enough."
If the scouts get bumped, that's where the fight starts.
We will already know where each other is, and the distance between the two factions is close. I didn't want to make a futile sacrifice.
Besides, when both armies are so close, the battlefield will also change while the unleashed scouts return.
The rest was left to Fei Long to focus on forming a formation for the soldiers.
So much so that dust rose from the end of the street, and I heard a heavy, painful noise that made the metal sound.
"Coming. All armies are on the right track."
The Dragon National Army is waiting at the end of a loosely curved street.
The Devil's Army will be well aware of that, too.
If we continue like this, we will be bumped into where General Iliel wants us to be.
"Notify all troops. Keep the operation in mind, but move at your discretion."
There will be many soldiers bumping into each other in narrow places.
What we need from here is momentum, and fine command changes fuel confusion.
I just wanted the soldiers to focus on the enemy in front of me.
The footsteps of the demon soldiers are approaching.
"Coming!
I heard someone.
It's time to see the enemy.
The speed of the demon soldiers' march increased as everyone watched them simmer.
"They're coming running!
Whose voice would that have been?
Shortly afterwards, all voices were cancelled by the enemy's "wow" cry.
