We move through the darkness at midnight to approach Elysian forces that have invaded Glugalia.
I have located the Elysian forces at the location of the report.
The number was about three thousand men, but when I observed the magic power flowing in my eyes in the darkness, I found that there was more magic power rising than that.
I see. I wonder if the Elysians have Railroad Laying for the people they brought as non-combatants.
While observing the opponent's army, he small words in his mouth that he saw with his own eyes.
When I heard that the invading army was building tracks all the time, I thought it was a waste of effort and magic.
But apparently it wasn't.
Probably, the soldiers who are actually going to fight from now on do not use their magic power to build the tracks.
Instead, we'll put in non-staff personnel to fight and build tracks for food transportation.
So it seems that the Elysian forces have both armed combatants and poor non-combatants.
"Somehow, that's it." Isn't it like you're being forced to bring me here to build a track? "
"That's right. Those people who sleep over there are unlikely to be at war." Besides, it would be difficult to fight if you were so skinny. "
"Do you think Ian would agree with that?" For a moment, it must be like bringing someone instead of a magic stone with magic power. "
Some are lying on the ground by the railroad tracks, asleep.
They were worn out, and they were frightened and thin.
There are a lot of such things.
Could it be that you are a resident of the favela of the land of Elysées?
Probably, but it's a completely different treatment from that of the workers working for the Orient.
In the Orient, I pay a decent daily wage, and I can afford to buy clothes and food.
But the operatives here didn't seem to have any room for that.
If you're not good at it, you might not get a reward, or even a sparrow's tear.
Even so, they may be following this army because they can get daily food and money rather than living without anything in the ghetto.
I see.
As expected, the purchase of rice from other small countries went further than I expected.
In short, it means that other countries have not yet emerged from the recession.
For a tiny penny, you can follow the army's work, which can be dangerous, and you can sleep on the ground and get food.
If you don't, you won't be able to live in any other country.
That's why a lot of people are coming to this move to buy rice for a price that is too high.
Perhaps there are many people who want to sell even if the country or the nobility don't want to sell it, even if they bring it in.
There are so many poor people in small countries.
Two years have passed since the collapse of the magic tool market.
I guess the impact of that was really big.
And that may be true not only of those who are called the poor, but also of the nations.
A number of small countries are thrusting their necks into the reinforcement requests made by the Glugalia nation. Some of them are like grudges that the domestic market has been messed up by the crash of magic equipment.
Well, no. If there's a mix of low-willing people, I'll use it.
Which way do we go, Alphonse?
"That's right. Let's start with Ian becoming a giant and attacking." When a giant figure attacks from the dark, a frightened operative will escape. So, I'll raid the Elysian army's main force, which is struggling to control it. If you do that, you'll be able to get close to the powerful opponent in the main battlefield in one go. "
Hmmm. Come on, I want to fight a strong opponent, too.
"So, how about the other way around?" I'll strike properly, so can Ian take your troops and knock down the Elise army? "
"That's a good plan. Leave it to me."
It's very reliable. Well, I'm going to launch an attack from the other side, so Ian needs to get out of here when there's movement.
Got it.
Confuse the Elysian forces that have mobilized the poor first.
I'm sure you're not expecting an attack at midnight.
Especially the poor, who don't have the weapons to fight, can't handle it properly.
And I'm sure the Elysians won't let those who try to escape get away.
After all, this isn't their destination.
If we continue to extend the tracks in the future, we will still be unable to let go of those engaged in the work.
So they should take their hands off us to keep the crews on the run.
The gap is closed.
This time, Ian was going to launch an attack on my helpless main army.
As a diversionary unit, I led one of the two Orient factions to a hardened location where many operatives were travelling.
