"The damage to the Rheinzatz Army avant-garde is spreading. We've already got 3,000 casualties."
"... is it true, Eye? I understand that demon guns are excellent weapons. but is that the only thing that can do that much damage?
"What do you mean, Master Vargas? Are you saying you have something to worry about?
"Oh, right. Demon guns will indeed have an effect if you shoot them to face control against the opponent they are coming at. But that depends on the other person. Especially since the Saldia and Haman armies, which are coming out as avant-garde for the Rheinzatz armies, should be able to prevent some more damage..."
"It's magic, Master Vargas van Bales. The magic of the Sardia family has a [water wall], but the magic of the Haman family has a [wind wall]. I have information that both sides have excellent magic in defense."
"That's right. There is a good reason why the Rheinzatz army moved its troops in both houses towards Barca. It means you're an aristocratic army with as much power and track record as you can handle your opponent's attacks. It's a little unnatural to say that it's done so much damage."
As I listened to Eye live, I pointed out my concerns.
Barca's [wall architecture] is very good defensive magic.
But being able to build walls is not Barca's exclusive patent.
There are other aristocrats who use magic to protect.
And of course there was a house in the Rheinzatz army that used defensive magic.
That is the Saldia and Haman armies fleshing to the Barca army as avant-garde troops.
I've heard that [water walls] and [wind walls] won't be as thick as the Barca walls, but they still have considerable defensive properties.
So even if they were attacked by demon guns from the Barca army, the damage should be a little more preventable if the knights in both houses take the lead and activate their magic.
Why do you keep getting so effective?
"That's because Lady Ars Barca keeps us from playing defense, Lady Vargas van Barres"
"Don't let them play defense?
"Currently, the Rheinzatz Army is unable to perform any magical defense. For this reason, we are being defenselessly attacked by demon bullets. The reason for this seems to be the effect of the sealed demon bracelet used by Ars Barca."
"Right. There it is!
"Is that a sealed demon bracelet? What is that, Master Vargas?
"The Sealed Devil's Bracelet was once held by the Percival family in the Labyrinth Street. It has the effect of removing any magic from the area by sending magic into the Seal Demon's bracelet. And it works quite extensively."
"Yeah? Could it be that Arsu-kun is using that, which means that magic can't be used in the Radial Plains right now?
"I guess so. I remember when the Admiral used the Seal Devil's bracelet before. I used it in the battle with the Carmus, but I couldn't use the magic long enough to cover the battlefield."
"... So you're saying that the avant-garde of the Rheinzatz army stormed because he thought he could magically defend himself, but he couldn't use that magic? Is that it? But the Barca army is ready to attack, right? Using a demon gun."
"Right. I can't say anything because I don't know more about the Seal Demon bracelet either, but it probably doesn't activate magic, but can it activate magic props? So [the water wall] can attack an opponent who can't defend himself with a demon gun from afar, and that's what's spreading the damage."
With that said, I thought you had something like that.
After Eye taught me, I finally remembered about the Sealed Devil's Bracelet.
Percival Labyrinth that I attacked with.
So one of the things I took home when I attacked Labyrinth Street was that.
Demonic props to prevent magic activation.
I see.
Was it because of that that the Admiral was creating an atmosphere in which he seemed confident about the battle against the Rheinzatz army?
[Instant] What, I was wondering what I would do in case there was any noisy magic that could kill me while I couldn't recognize this one, but I wasn't even willing to activate the magic in the first place.
And not activating magic also means that it almost prevents the opponent from ranged attacks.
The Saldia and Haman armies don't just have magic for defense, they also have magic for attack, but they can't use it either.
The Barca army, by contrast, has a demon gun.
Even if the magic is gone, it may have been in anticipation of the effects of the Sealed Demon's bracelet that we put that new weapon into action in this battle that a long-range attack can continue if we use the Demon Stone in hand.
"There was also movement on both wings of the Rheinzatz army. A cavalry of the Barca army is attacking."
"Oh, it's true. A cavalry on Valkyrie is attacking. But the Cavalry Corps doesn't seem to storm the armies of both wings of the Rheinzatz Army. It's glowing, but what is it?
"That's a thunderous sword attack, Dear Kiri Reed. It's the light of purple electricity emitted by the thunderous sword."
"A thunderous sword is a magical sword, isn't it? Sure, now it was like the magic sword the Arborest family had."
"Right. Even so, the thunderbolt sword now owned by the Barca army is a new magic sword recently made though. It's in my territory, Nelson. It's made from a piece of electromagnetic steel that I got in the wetlands."
"Heh. Are you strong after all, thunderous sword?"
"Of course you do. If you take a hit, even a knight with a magical defense can strike a lightning strike that prevents him from moving. Besides, that one spreads the attack to diffuse, so you can attack as many people as possible once you use it. If a mobile cavalry is used incorrectly, we won't be able to prevent it."
"Oh, but we're also trying to handle the Rheinzatz army somehow. We are approaching the Barca army cavalry in the Cavalry Dragon Squad to attack. Oh, they fought back and fell. What did you use that one for, Mr. Eye?
"It's an ice spear, Master Kiri Reed."
"Ice spear, what was that? Wasn't the magic sword the Fontana family possessed the Ice Fine Sword, Master Vargas?
"That's right. Apart from that Ice Sperm Sword, it was the Ice Spear that the Admiral created with the Bootica family again. Magic can stretch and attack Ice Spears. When a cavalry strikes, having a spear is more breakthrough than a sword, so the cavalry now also has ice spears."
"Um..., can I ask you a question?
"What, Miss Killi?
"It's all a magic weapon, whether it's a demon gun, a thunderbolt sword or an ice spear, right? Don't you only have the usual magic sword or something aristocratic? And then, I think it's valuable enough that a knight with a special recognition of merit can get it from the nobility, but maybe the Barca Army has that for everyone?
"Oh, you mean that. No, that's not personal ownership, it's all my stuff as an army, and I'm just paying that to the soldiers. When this battle is over, it's gonna be recovered by the army, so not everyone owns it."
"No, that's not what I want, everyone wears such precious equipment, is it? Isn't that too awesome?
"I can't believe it's so amazing. Miss Kiri may not have noticed, but other gear should be using good stuff too. All the simple armor Barca soldiers wear is magically resistant metal armor. If you're normally equipped with something like that, you're limited to the main class, but Barca wears it for everyone."
That's right.
What is most unusual about the Admiral is in his equipment.
It has been so for a long time.
Since Barca became a cavalry, the general has invested in the cavalry on the grounds that it strengthens the army.
Normally, however, it is normal to have the service beasts that will serve as cavalry prepare them for each other, even if they create a cavalry regiment.
Yet, in Barca, it was prepared by the Admiral as a military possession.
Just because a Valkyrie could hatch how much the Admiral could ride from the eggs of a servant beast, it's anomalous that the Lord Himself would be aligned with money until he could operate it as an army.
Trion, a former merchant and now Barca's vault number, has long complained about the use of the territory's gold, but the Admiral hasn't changed that much.
Barca Army to put money on gear and align by the unusual.
When it comes to where Barca's strength lies, I think that's the best part.
Barca is strong because there have been generals who have consistently poured money into the army for a long time.
What about the Rheinzatz army against that?
It is still old fashioned, or basically mobilizes multiple aristocrats and knights in Rheinzatz territory to make up the army, so each army's equipment is left to its own.
It's not something that can be aligned that way, such as a magic sword, and there's not a single consistency in gear.
Even though I belong to Barca, I was able to grasp the strength of the Barca Army once again by reviewing Barca from the standpoint of commentary.
