As the entire army moves into the woods and prepares to camp, Winzel tells the surroundings.

"The knights in possession of the Artifact will be set up by others. Assemble here!" I will devise a countermeasure for that demonic stone beast that blocks my path! "

That said, the policy is largely determined by myself.

There was no reason to attack the Magic Stone Beast with a soldier who did not have the Magic Mark Weapon (Artifact). In that case, it was a small number of elites.

A little over an hour has passed.

"--Now, I will order the selected elite men to reconnaissance against those demon stone beasts." Come closer and see how it goes. If it starts to move and strike back, fight back. But never go deeper. Turn back as soon as you see the enemy. First and foremost, there were casualties. "

Haha!

The chosen knights responded to Winzel's death.

Well then, let's go! Let's go...!

The armored bird (fly gear) of the knights flew away.

Windsor's forces have a handful of armored birds (fly gear), but with a handful of maneuvers, they can make the most of their presence.

--Winzel sighs as she sees off the shadows of the armored bird (flygear) as it flies away.

From the very beginning, you need to travel.

However, there will always be opponents, such as Generals entering unknown enemies.

To avoid that, you have to show your subordinates once and for all.

And when it was difficult, I would go out myself.

Because he expected to move, he ordered his predecessors to protect him above all else.

Still, I haven't earned the trust of my subordinates that even if I travel to the front line, I will definitely be okay. Alcard was a relatively peaceful country with few opportunities for combat.

From now on, I want to cultivate the trust of myself and my soldiers, but if I become a king, I will lose that opportunity as well.

"... it doesn't suit my sex, but if it's for this country, I'll show it to you--that's how I repay my debt."

Windsor muttered so.

The knights on the flying armored bird (fly gear) approached the demonic stone beast wandering through the forest across the bridge.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The roar from the demon stone beasts became very active.

The giant tail moves more and more.

……

Huh. Have you noticed me?!

The Knights once stopped the Armored Bird (Fly Gear) from moving.

Although the Demon Stone Beast's roar was fierce, it didn't mean that a body buried in the snow would rise up or launch some kind of attack.

"--It may have been noticed, but there was no attack..."

"Let's get a little closer...!"

"Be careful! Prince Windsor ordered me to do the same!"

"Alright, let's go...!"

I was getting closer.

Carefully, little by little, little by little--

”The closer I look, the bigger this guy is-”

"Oh, that's ridiculous...!"

"If something like this happens and attacks me..."

The distance was jammed even further.

"I think you've already received a ranged attack from a magic weapon (artifact)...!?"

Alright, let's shoot it and see how it reacts...!

"Okay, let's go!"

Knights attacked with flaming bullets and wind blades from their equipped Magic Artifact.

It shot at the surface of a giant tail - it bounced off and disappeared.

Scratching doesn't work, it doesn't seem to work at all.

"... it doesn't work...!?"

We'll have to approach and strike directly ─ ─?

"But it's dangerous...!?"

”No, look--the attack won't change his appearance... can we get closer to him?”

I see. Maybe he can't move because his body is stuck in the snow...

"Haha, no way..."

"But you should try to get close and see it." If you don't come close, you can just ignore it and go through the side without bothering to defeat it. "

The opinions were shared by the knights.

"Yeah, that's right."

Alright, let's go--

"Don't be alarmed...!"

Then the armored bird (fly gear) descends into the immediate vicinity of the giant tail.

The sight in front of and around the knights suddenly turned pitch black.

"" "...!?" "

"" "What... what...!?" "

The white scenery in front of me, the sound of snowy winds, everything disappeared into a black scenery.

It should be floating with armored birds (fly gear), but because everything is black, I don't know where the ground is--!

◆◇◆

Now! Liesellotte!

After activating the miracle (gift), Leone summons Liesellotte immediately.

This black space is the power of Leone's Black Great Sword's Magic Mark Artifact.

It creates different spaces, isolating and evacuating people around it.

Originally prepared by Special Envoy Theodore to defeat Ripple's Magic Stone Beast without causing any damage to its surroundings, it was useful here again.

This is the liver that Inglise left behind.

Camouflage the tail of Fufeilbane on inevitable terrain for your troops.

Since dragons are not common beings, those who saw them first decided that they were magic stone beasts.

When the opponent became a Magic Stone Beast, its regular troops were no longer effective.

A knight with an artifact with a magic mark should try to respond--

And there aren't many Artifacts owned by Alcard's troops.

Therefore, a small number of elites will approach.

Drag it into a different space with the miracle (gift) of Leone's Magic Mark Weapon (Artifact) to disable it.
