The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

A report of the devastation of the Royal Army was conveyed by Klama to the fortified city - Silke.

The Raddles suffered 64 serious injuries, 256 minor injuries and zero to the dead.

In contrast, the Royal Army has 6321 dead.

Even though the opponent's intentions have disappeared, his enemies are desperate in a sweep battle. If the enemy commander was alive, he would have been postured and at risk of being hit back more than expected. So, first of all, I was ordering the killing of the enemy boy pruning commander.

The Royal Army, which was crushed in the head, often became uncontrolled, but immediately succeeded to the authority of Commander-in-Chief Wimp, Kai Rhodas, surrenders unconditionally and the battle ends with the victory of the Raddle Army. Thus were the two hundred and twenty-eight royal armies taken captive by the severe and minor wounds.

The damage done to the Raddles to this extent may be attributed to the early and unconditional surrender of the Royal Army.

I had previously delegated the field command of this sweep operation to Theo and had instructed him to tell him only in the event of an anomaly. So it was Theo and the Laddle people, not me, who made the choice to receive this prisoner.

Attacks on surrendered things seem easy at first glance but not really. Bite a cramped cat, I suppose? There was also a high risk of unintended damage, especially in a battlefield with a lot of obstacles called rocks. Accepting surrender is a good idea from the point of view of mitigating damage to your own army.

Most of all, people don't always make profitable choices. Due to various emotions such as hate and fear, we often make the opposite choice. Above all, in view of what the Royal Army has done to Raddle, it was not strange to kill them all as they were.

That's why Theo and the others calmly accepted the surrender of the Royal Army, which is arguably an English break.

There are still many things to consider, such as the issue of prisoners' food, which I can support in the shadows. If you report that you seized a large quantity from the fort of Arkhroy after the fact, Tsuji will fit.

Either way, the memorial service for the dead in this Royal Army is now open.

6021 corpses of the Royal Army lined up before us.

"Together, pray silently!"

By Theo's words, everyone closes their eyelids with their left palms against their chests. Perhaps that is the mourning of the Ladlers' dead.

Burial is fundamental in this world, but there is also a workforce and land to bury the bodies on the ground. I can't afford that in my current ladle.

Therefore, this time (this time) it was decided to be cremated.

(Well, do you want to start...)

If you squeal so small, mark all the arranged corpses in the circular ring area. And pour my magic into those countless bodies.

If my predictions are correct, something that is this should arise.

Evidence, the sound of piki and cracks rang from everywhere.

(Success)

Take the bright red crystal that is falling on the chest of the man who mowed his golden hair like a commander-in-chief.

This is a demon stone. Adding more than a certain amount of magic to an organism's corpse becomes a demonic stone. This phenomenon was flashed by ten demonic stones handed over by Sylphi before embarking on this journey.

Anything, ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) cause flesh to perish more than once and reincarnate repeatedly. The seven blue Demon Stones handed over are shards of soul that were made at that time. What if not just Sylphi, but a few other intelligent creatures in this world are working in similar mechanisms?

Hitting that question, he obtained a brilliant demonic stone after trying it with the bodies of several Royal Army men who occupied Camelot.

As Silfi is, when the flesh perishes, the majority of the soul moves to reconstitute. Sylphi can do this reconfiguration on his own, and we humans cannot reconstruct without undergoing the unscientific existence of a circle. If more than a certain amount of magic is added to the rest of the soul (Kasu) that remains in the flesh after the soul travels around the circle, it will become a demonic stone.

While it is unclear why demons are born and possess demonic stones, there is no doubt that this also has a certain relationship with this circle.

"I'm really throwing up"

What an unforgivable outward path I have. In this place alone, there's no doubt that it's a hell of a row.

But now, yes, now. Once upon a time, a race in the name of one way fate has been thrown. I'm not allowed to regret it, and I'm not going to.

When I raise my right hand, I quietly and slowly begin a magical chant.

"- Sleep - [Flame Dance (Flame Rondo)] - Cremation"

[Flame Dance (Flame Rondo)] improvised magic that maximizes the range and firepower. Burning is the only thing that works. Exactly, magic made just for cremation.

The flames burn the kingdom soldiers until they become dust (dust).

I turn my back on the dead who have already become ashes and walk away.

"Our big victory!!"

On the walls of the castle, a man with two blocks of hair - Calogero proclaims in high spirits, the fortress Silke wrapped in joy.

"Lord, you're finally attacking the Fort of Archroy."

Theo has spoken as the voices for the number of people have joined together, ringing ground and trembling all over the fortress.

From the way the wrinkles (wrinkles) between his eyebrows deepen, only Theo may be aware of the severity of the fortification attack that is about to take place.

"I know you do, but this is where it comes from, right?

Up to this point, it's like a gap created because the opponent missaw the power of the Raddle Army.

There are still thousands of soldiers in the fort of Archroy. Speaking of us, there were quite a few wounded in this battle. In view of fatigue as well, 400 would be the limit that can actually be mobilized. We must drop the fort before the head of the fort decides to call for reinforcements.

Once reinforcements are called, it is visible that they will come into the land with large armies. And it is the domination of the kingdom of Amulzess to its prestige. The soldier's proficiency can't be compared to Archray either. There is still an overwhelming shortage of power for Raddle to cut head-to-head with the Royal Army.

Worst of all, I'll have to lay my hands on them straight away, but like that one-eyed monster in Sutherland, there's still an unknown mighty man in this world. Too much overconfidence in your own power would be harmless and unprofitable.

That's right. This is like a card game where cutting a hand tag first would be more disadvantageous, so to speak. Because it's better to look at their hands and then move.

"Oh, of course. As instructed beforehand, all the rear-end enemy supply carriages and weapons were held down. Now the operation can be executed without delay."

"Right. Then we'll move on to execution tonight as planned."

Well, maneuvering is so classic and so simple that it embarrasses me.

Nodding, Theo breathed heavily into his lungs as he turned back to the ladle soldier who was still blushing with excitement within Silke,

"Be quiet!!"

Speak loud out of your mouth when you roar.

When we calm down in a few seconds and look up over the walls where we are, we align our heels together and stretch out our spines.

"This evening, we move the plan to execution. This is a battle to regain our pride. Defeat means the extinction of the Laddle people, that is, the death of all their compatriots. You know what I mean? You can't lose!

That's good. At once the faces of the soldiers changed.

"The soldiers left behind in Arkhroy are brilliant. Some of them are magicians. It can't be a must-win like the previous battle. Some of them will travel to Yellow Springs."

When he cuts the words, Theo closes his eyes.

I know how you feel. The success of the operation is equal to becoming a total force battle. Besides, the opponent is more than twice as powerful. I'm pretty sure there's a good number of dead people here, even if it's only profitable for the firearms. From Theo's point of view, we are in a position to order our compatriots to die.

When Theo opened his lid, he inhaled again.

"But don't worry. Even if we die, our ladle breathes back. That's all I can vouch for. Because we got [King Yamahisa] this time!!"

Theo, when he turns to me, corrects his posture.

"Salute our lord!!"

Aside from the intact, stand up simultaneously, resting your heels, and keeping your arms parallel until you scratch and need treatment.

The intense will that dwells in his eyes shoots me out. They're really funny.

"I look forward to your struggle."

There is enough roar to break the tympanic membrane (Komaku), and Arkroy's fortress fall operation sets in motion.
