"Brother Ars is pretty lame, too, isn't he? I didn't expect to fight Ian, so I was worried when I heard he was going to fight."

"Well, if I made a mistake, I might have lost this one. I'm glad we won."

"Right. But with that empty sword, you didn't have to worry about losing?

"No, I'm not. This guy only performs well and consumes a lot of magic. Plus, it fluctuates how far away you're going to cut with the amount of magic you can get into an empty sword. I'm pretty sure it's hard to handle, because if you make a mistake adjusting the distance and the amount of magic you can put into your sword, you'll just really cut the sky."

"It is. I wonder if iron slaughter swords are easier to use in just combat when you think about it that way. Like the immortal is the only one with an empty sword in effect?

"No, empty swords don't have the same performance as holy swords. I know it works, but if you're the king of immortals opponent, you could be invaded and rotten by the magic of uncleanness. Well, I'm pretty sure that's a little too strong for a normal fight between humans."

"I see. It seems like a good place to use it when you're here."

After a duel with Ian, the warrior of Atmos in the East, he returned to Vulcania again.

Discuss with Kyle the performance of a new magic sword, etc. from the duel content.

I also told that Kyle that this empty sword is too strong.

but I suppose it could also be called excessive firepower.

For example, if it is a mass battle, the ice flame sword burned for each Arborest family fleet can also be used more extensively.

In contrast, even though this emptiness sword cleaves away, its scope does not go beyond its length as a sword.

Perhaps no matter how defensive you may be, there will always be one subject who can cut the opposite.

If you tell me that the magic consumption is intense on top of the fact that you can't even do anything to ambush thousands of people in one swing, can you say it's a weapon for short-term showdown?

This would mean that no matter how strong the emptiness sword is, it is not omnipotent.

So as always, I intend to use some magic swords in combination.

"Ah. Mr. Lion contacted me, Brother Ars. He wants you in the city of Fontana as soon as possible."

"From Lion? Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

I was just doing some magic sword rigging that way, and it looks like Lion contacted me against Kyle.

He's kind of in a hurry.

When I got in touch, I decided to head straight to the city of Fontana.

"Leon, what's going on? Is something wrong?

"Yes, Master Ars. Wagner von Xylia, the border ambassador is requesting reinforcements."

"Reinforcements? From Wagner? Tell me more about the situation."

"Yes. The Xyrian border uncle is the current Xyrian territory, or former Hermes territory, from which he was moving his army southwards to expand his territory. I had the momentum initially, but apparently I worked too hard."

"Did you try too hard?

"That's right. Old Hermes territory tends to be mountainous and there are few lands where wheat can be harvested. You must have been looking for a little more land. South of former Hermes territory, it was attacking the Largeca territory southwest of Bootica territory. But the Largekas who rule the Largekas have asked other nobles to reinforce them."

"Hmm. You mean there was a lot of that reinforcement?

"Yes, it seemed more than I expected. Because that Rajka family belongs to the Northern Union of Nobility, and that Northern Union of Nobles has come together"

"... wait a minute. Are you sure it's the Northern Lords' Union? Was it a coalition you could have done after the Fontana Crusade Coalition came before?

"Right. The Union of Northern Aristocrats consists of 13 nobles. All of that has moved into reinforcements for the Largica family."

Wagner was originally the principal child of the Xyrian family, the Knights of the Urk family.

The Urk family perished after losing the battle against the Fontana family, but at that time the Xyrian family absorbed the Urk knights who were in the former Urk territory.

As a result of Harold, Wagner's father's move to lay barca on us, there is also the aspect that Wagner was used to capture the knights of Urk, who had been hostile until now, into Fontana.

Wagner was only about 13 at the time but worked hard.

Normally, it wouldn't be strange for a Wolk knight to dispute me as a traitor, even under the circumstances. I managed to put it together and work for Fontana.

As a result, after the founding of the kingdom of Fontana, the Xyrian family of Wagner was to acquire the status of a nobleman named Borderline Uncle.

but it's hard to tell how honestly happy this is.

Because it was transferred from the former district of Urk, where it had been until then, to the newly acquired territory of the former Hermes.

Old Hermes territory is such a mountainous place among the ninjas that it was like a territory run by drug traffickers and so on because it can't take much wheat.

There, he was moved by every one of his men, the knight of the old Urk.

Naturally, it's only hard to stay in such a territory.

Then what should we do?

I just have to hit it out there.

That is possible with the status of Borderline Uncle.

In the Kingdom of Fontana, young men are conscripted even to take territory.

but not all men will be gone.

You can use the power of the knights of the old Urk and the soldiers you recruited and gathered to take the other noble lands southwards from Xyrian territory.

Because the right to gather soldiers and the freedom to cut off the territory of other countries is recognized by the Kingdom of Fontana.

Thus Wagner marched for territory.

but as a result, too big an opponent was caught.

It's a recently formed group called the Northern Lords' Union.

This is a coalition created by the previous failure of the coalition forces for the Fontana crusade to attack Fontana.

Fontana cannot be attacked by the long wall of Kermouth's defensive wall, as a result of which the northern aristocracy was attacked by the Memento faction coalition in a rampage such as the Memento family.

In doing so, nobles who opposed the way the Memento family did coordinated and joined hands.

It was the Northern League of Nobles that made it possible.

Incidentally, there seems to be an even bigger coalition called the Anti-Memento Coalition, which is a little tricky, but the Northern Lordship Coalition also seems to be part of that coalition.

In other words, the Union of Northern Aristocrats, at its birth, has the nature of dealing with it in unanimous solidarity if the nobles in the Union are attacked.

And the Rajka family came to intercept them because they were part of that northern confederation of nobles.

but it was not even thought that the 13 aristocrats would lead the army out.

It was expected that at least a few of the surrounding families would come out and enter into negotiations claiming that they would not allow any further offense.

"Okay. Send the Fontana army to Wagner's reinforcements."

Well, you can't ignore it when you say it's not what you expected.

Because we don't have the option of abandoning Wagner like this.

If you ignore Wagner's request for reinforcements, the Kingdom of Fontana will abandon its subordination, a country of no significance to the nobles or knights, both around and under its subordination.

If that happens, it will be a rather deadly loss for the Kingdom of Fontana, which is still able and shallow.

Therefore, we must head to the rescue.

The end of the summer was thus approaching, and we were set to head to a new battlefield.
