"Excellent work, Mr. Alphonse. It was a very dangerous battle."
"Really? If it's like this, you're gonna get a pass, Eye?
"Of course. Alphonse has the power of a knight."
After defeating the bowman, he fought two men with swords and spears.
I used Intimidation again while dealing with both of them simultaneously.
Aim for the moment when the spear stops moving, and attack the sword first.
Cut and disable the opponent's sword, then deal with the returned spear holder.
Fighting like that, we succeeded in winning without a scratch.
Eye, who was watching the battle, talked to me after confirming that the Magic Army was completely immobilized.
From Eye's point of view, the battle was not bad.
I'm glad.
I didn't mean that I was taking some kind of test, but I felt that it was somehow accepted.
"But is there anything else you want to say? I'd like you to tell me if it was better this way."
"That's right. Well, there's only one. This time, Alphonse was able to fight three bronze-shaped magical armor without any problems. But basically, more fights are better. How the few break it is basically about destroying each one."
"Destroy each? Do you mean to defeat them one by one without defeating them at the same time?
"Exactly. Was the opponent temporarily stopped by magic in the previous battle? Alphonse must have been the winner in creating an instantaneous, one-on-one situation. But I think there is another way. For example, running for a while and running away."
"What, are you running away?
"Yes, but it's not about getting away. The magical army that has been running, taking the distance and chasing it will be a little more distant. Using terrain such as corners to distance them from each other and intercept them when they are ready to fight one-on-one is likely to be effective. However, it depends on the surrounding situation."
I see.
All I'm saying is that I don't have to fight three bodies at the same time.
Rather, it is better not to have a three-to-one situation if we are to seek victory.
I wonder how the situation might disadvantage us before we fight.
Knight class refers to when there were three bronze knights.
That's what they said, so I wanted to fight the three at the same time, but I didn't have to go out of my way to go out with them.
Is it one of the strengths to pre-work so that you are in a favorable situation, even if you don't have to fight fairly and squarely?
Speaking of which, I've heard that Mr. Ars was good at that.
I had heard many times from my father about the night raid without having to fight the many opponents from the front.
Well, no.
Now that we have achieved the goal of dealing with three more simultaneous opponents, let's think about how we can break the numerical disadvantage and fight.
While thinking about that in the conversation with Eye, I was collecting the magic stones and armor of the defeated magic armor and putting them in a magic bag.
"What? I feel a sign from the other side. But I feel a little different from before."
I was using magic to explore the surrounding signs, but I felt that the signs I felt at that time were slightly different from those of the Magic Army.
Probably just the numbers.
However, I felt that the footsteps were a little heavier than before.
Maybe he's not a bronze knight, a magical army? Let's go check it out, Eye. "
Yes, Mr. Alphonse.
I think maybe the sign I felt was another magic uniform.
Because it didn't smell human.
Then it might be different from the Bronze Knight.
I'm a little excited, but I'm moving with Eye towards the signs.
And I came to a position where I could see where he would be.
Make sure you only pull your neck out of the corner along the wall and check it out.
Is that the Iron Magic Armor?
"Probably. It's a magical uniform that has a knight-level strength."
It was the Magic Army that was there.
His body is armored like a bronze knight.
But the material is different.
The Iron Knight was there.
It is made of metal with such a color as gray or dull.
Its strength is unlike that of a bronze knight.
The three bronze knights are called knights, but the iron knights are stronger than the others.
... I want to fight.
When I entered this labyrinth, I intended to go first and foremost to safety.
I thought it would be enough to fight the Bronze Knight in the first place.
But when I actually look at the other person, I want to try it.
Seeing the Iron Knight walking through the labyrinth, the movement was different from the Bronze Knight.
The Iron Knight is obviously better at body movements.
Perhaps it will also greatly affect your movements in battle.
Glittering, I look at the eye with my horizontal eyes.
What does Eye think?
Perhaps we can retain him for recklessness.
But I told Eye.
I want to fight that Iron Knight.
"I see. Let's call it an operational meeting."
But unlike I expected, Eye never stopped me.
That's how I fought the Iron Knight in my first labyrinth.
