Sword of the Philosopher

On the way to the north on the road...... I get a report that the Demon King army that was in the north is retreating. The dragons seem to be moving against it, but not aggressively.

"You must be on guard"

When I pass the information on to Gark, I get that statement.

"The dragon's power is considerable, but it's easy to deal with... Now, the Demon Path, but it's probably where the Demon King is headed"

"The battle for the South is about to start right away... but... well, I guess I figured if I didn't move here, I wouldn't even win the battle for the South"

'Um, has anything else changed?

"Oh, speaking of which, one more thing"

About Oldia... there was nothing like going south about him, and he seemed to be watching the battle between dragons and demons. We are now starting to move and following the army.

'When it does, are you going to join him?

"I don't know... well, the question is what to do with the troops in the north"

There is still some time for the Demon King to arrive at a predetermined location. There's nothing I can't handle.

"Garc, are Feus and Azua and the others ahead of the Demon King's destination?

"I'm on the move, including myself, and I think I can get ahead of you, as Lord Luon said."

"Ok...... I'm curious about the army in the north and I'll head over there first"

"Fine."

Gark agrees with my decision. We changed course a little, and we hurried.

The Demon King's Army present in the north is smaller in number than in the west. Some sides were shredded by the dragons, but the original numbers were inferior. I'm pretty sure you can do enough damage to the troops on the human side, though.

"The dragons are chasing each other without leaving. If anything happens to the Demons, they should attack at once. '

"So, suppose I make the trigger... So, what exactly do I do?

"The dragons are so vigilant because the Demons possess the means of confrontation. Lord Luon, have you ever noticed anything from observing the situation with a demon?

"... Speaking of which, there were several cases where dragons were lightly hit when we engaged"

There were patterns that collapsed with a magical intensive attack, but there were times when they were unnaturally hit.

"A weapon that was effective against dragons also existed in humans. So you're saying that kind of weapon is in the hands of the Demons?

"That's what I'm talking about."

… There was a weapon in the game that was effective against certain races. For example, a weapon that started with an effective "Insect Slayer" for the insect system and was named "O O Slayer" is attached to it.

It also exists in dragons, and its name remains' Dragon Slayer '. But it didn't mean a blow special. In the case of this weapon, it only has the effect of dealing increased damage to enemies of the dragon system, and yet it is as aggressive as the weapon that appears in the middle of the scenario. In the second half, the original attack power is low, so it becomes useless.

Weapon enhancement would be effective enough, but if you were to use materials, you should use them for other powerful weapons, so I didn't use many weapons named Slayer, and I still don't make use of them when it became a reality.

But in the case of the Devil's way, it seems to be quite powerful.

"The drawback exists that dragon species are easy to perform magical analysis. However, because the quality of magic varies from individual to individual, it is necessary to create an effective weapon for each individual when defeated by a single blow. '

"... it's going to take a while."

"Normally, we wouldn't be able to afford time to talk about analyzing each individual and preparing weapons. But among the demons in the north, there may be demons who are good at analysis or who can produce effective weapons."

... I see. I don't know how to do it, but can you do it because you can produce a method that can defeat dragons in an early time?

On the contrary, a dragon can be set up at once as long as its demon clan is defeated.

"The dragons and demons have been around for a long time, but if the glue had been extended further, there would have been a possibility that the dragon side would have been breached."

"Well... Either way, if we fight the Demons, the situation opens up, right? Then it's my turn.

Shortly after I replied that, I discovered the enemy troops on the move. The kind of terrain where forests sandwich wide streets. I use the magic of hiding signs while climbing trees and observing trends from a distance.

Slow speed, but well lined up and heading north. Are you going to rendezvous with the Demon King, or is there some other purpose...

"Lord Luon, I told the dragon about this situation via the Spirit and he wants us to cooperate."

"I don't mind... but it's hard to find and defeat the demon clan of purpose from within the army. If you defeat them indiscriminately, you will likely lose control of the demons and start raging. If that happens, it's tough, and I'd like to set a goal, if I can."

"Though we seem to be staring at demons with the ability to combat dragons."

"You have information?

"According to information from the dragons, they appear to be human beings in black robes"

"Exactly, I don't have a lot of tips...... I can't do this without at least being taught some facial traits"

'You hardly seemed to get out on the battlefield. There's no other information.'

Hmm, this is hard...... there are ways to attack me and Les Bailes, but I just want to make it a last resort if possible.

"Once, gather information towards where the dragons are."

"Nevertheless, expectations are weak."

"I don't care if you attack me in my current state... just don't have much time to spare"

Do we have to push it through here? When I thought it was going to be a troublesome battle - a report came in from a user demon observing Oldia.

"... what are you going to do?

"What's up?

"It seems Oldia is near the enemy army in front of her. Looks like he's watching the march..."

It also feels like I'm looking for something... and here I guess.

"Maybe Oldia is looking for said demon tribe?

"Do you have a demon clan that uses dragon control?

"It's possible... Oldia has been observing the battle between dragons and demon kings ever since. I should have seen the dragon being defeated, too. And he belonged to the Demon King's Army, and he has information about the Demons... maybe he knows which Demons to destroy."

I look to the enemy. I don't want to take too long now that the Demon King is on the move either. If I attack alone, the demons will be scattered and there will be considerable damage around them. No, when you know all about me, you might start dispersing as you go. Even if it were a hand in escape, it would take a considerable amount of time to destroy.

Best of all, destroy the demon clan that counteracts dragons, and yet also destroy the weapons that fight dragons. At the same time as that timing, it would be a way for the dragons to launch an onslaught, collaborate and destroy. Working with dragons is definitely more than the shortest way to destroy the army.

"... let's meet Oldia"

"Explaining the circumstances and offering to cooperate."

"Oh. Garc, make contact with the dragon side and instruct them to set it up at any time."

"You mean once you destroy the target demon clan, you fold it all together."

"Exactly. Can you do that?"

'The timing is slightly cynical. Lord Luon's movements will change what happens. "

… my movements are important to destroy enemy forces quickly.

"Okay, let's go"

I'm going down the tree. We couldn't be found by our enemies, so we moved as carefully as we could in a hurry.
