As Grace said, the opportunity to return the favor came sooner than later.
The tensions between the two countries rose suddenly as small countries around the expanding Kingdom of Rhodelia laid a siege.
The Rhodelia also advanced as the armies of the various countries that had joined the siege grid gathered and responded.
It is now an enlarged kingdom of Rhodelia that has overwhelmed the surrounding countries, but it is a coalition of five countries.
Together, the five nations were strong enough to fight against the Rhodelia army, and only a few of them could tell where they were going to win or lose.
"Hooray! Now you can beat up that disgusting lady general!"
Strangely, Joanne smiled with joy.
I was willing to slam the rage I had accumulated in the ceremony in this battle.
Of course, as Joan's words suggest, the Ardis and Wisteria mercenaries were on the enemy side of the Rhodelia, the Five Nations.
As before, Rhodelia was collecting mercenaries on the basis of a large amount of rewards, but for the Wisteria Mercenaries, the amount was small.
To look painfully at the Lady General of Rhodelia, who despises the lack of mercenaries.Because that's what it's all about.
It seems that the mercenaries gathered there were worse than I thought.
"It would be natural if we did something like that last time."Unlike us, there are some places where mercenary groups have been completely destroyed. "
Viktor replied coolly to Lexi's words.
"Well, not everyone wants to die in vain."So, Commander, have we decided where we're going? "
"Oh, listen, please."
I took the time to tell everyone that Grace had a lot of time to talk to me.
She's here. She's assaulting the main unit.
Huh?
In an instant, Lexi's face was filled with murderous aura.
"Oops, listen to me until the end."Don't worry, it's not like I'm going to make one or eight bets.I mean to play a role in a proper operation. "
So, what's the plan?
Derwat spoke on behalf of Lexie, who was still looking at Grace with cold eyes.
"It's not that annoying, though."After the two armies hit each other, they slowly retreated to attract enemies, while the Squadron attacked from the side when the main squad left the front line.The magician in the detachment was blinded by the magic attack, and it was a dimension that we would attack from the top where our vision had deteriorated. "
"That's a tasty part again."That's how it goes around my house.It's likely that great people from all over the world will try to take it on themselves. "
"There are a lot of people who can build scaffolds, so we..."
Oh, I see.
A handful of Wisteria Mercenaries couldn't build a magic foothold.
A few of them lost their way in the last battle, and most of them were killed in action.
As a result, most of our people can only build scaffolds.
I suppose that's what Dahwat figured out.
The proportion of humans who can build scaffolds in the regular army and regular mercenaries is 30%.
It was a good thing that almost all of them took out the Wisteria Mercenaries for assault.
Well, it could be a compromise after holding each other back.
It's a pain in the ass, isn't it?
Absolutely not.
If you become a leader of the army of the country, you will often have to think about other things than fighting.
Lexi, who was in a good mood for Viktor's point, blurted out a bitter smile from her companion who was listening around.
The combined strength of the five Allied Powers is 8,000 mercenaries.On the other hand, the Rhodelia Kingdom Army expanded its strength even more than in the previous battle by about 6,500 men.
The five-country alliance is quite advantageous in terms of the number of troops, but because it is a place of confrontation, the lack of consciousness and unity cannot be wiped away.
On the other hand, Rhodelia was a unified army with no problems in its chain of command, and it was led by the unbeatable general with the nickname [Ferocious Butterfly].
I could never measure victory or defeat by just the number of troops.
That's why our value is so glittering.
Darwat smiled and patted Aldis hard on the back.
Isn't that right, Aldis?
”... you hit it too hard, right?”
Ardis, who was slapped so hard that his breath stopped for a moment, complained, and the sound of soldiers' footsteps echoed across the battlefield.
The lid of the battle was cut and dropped.
"You guys, don't go too far forward!"Save your magic! "
As Grace's instructions arrived, Aldis rushed into the battlefield with Lucille and Lorna.
Immediately, the surroundings were enveloped by fury and metallic sounds.
Aldis simply wields his sword and slashes the enemy in front of him.
She dropped her arm, wiped her leg, stabbed her throat, and dropped her head in a fluke.
Rona and Rouchell were warning me when I slashed about six people.
"Al! A big one is coming!"
"Aldis! Avoid it!"
Aldis jumped to the side as he unfolded the barrier.
The spot where I was standing earlier was illuminated by a white light that was too thick to be called a ray.
Of course, it wasn't just the light emitted on the battlefield.
The white light, which is so wide that it envelops the entire carriage, licks the ground like a lantern that illuminates the darkness.
At the same time, the human who had escaped from the place was instantly burnt by the light.
In a short amount of time, the mercenaries and soldiers who ate the white light properly stood still and turned it into a black-headed object, scattering a strange smell around them.
I think we have a problem.
Isn't it a bad idea to leave it alone?
Lorna reacted to Aldis's crush.
"Let's crush it..."
That's right.
"Hey. Aldis, Rona?"
Ignoring Rouchell's words, Aldis pushed Lorna into the foe.
"Cover me, Al."
Leave it to me.
As he approaches the group that is probably protecting the magician, Aldis throws a ball of fire at its center.
It's easy to play with a barrier, but if you can focus on us, that's fine.
When Aldis picked up someone's fallen sword, he manipulated it with his magic to accompany him.
It's a magician, watch out!
Seeing the warning fly from among the enemies, Aldis slashed at the one who was standing in the way, and immediately flew away to release the fireball again.
It was a sorcery that didn't have enough aim or power, but it was enough to attract the enemy's attention.
Lorna, who had been waiting until then, rushed into the enemy's midst as the other soldiers' gaze focused on Aldis.
"Wow! It's a beast!"
An enemy beast!?
Lorna, who was much faster than humans, slipped lower than her waist.
Rona's fangs, which reached inside the enclosure, captured the target's neck.
The magician has been hit!
"Damn it, don't let him get away!"
While listening to that voice, Aldis retreated without waiting for Rona.
I don't think it's terrible to leave alone so quickly.
Lorna, who has been coming back for a while, complains, but Aldis' answer is not a good one.
If you just run away, you won't need backup.
That's true.
Luchel rushed over to the two of them.
Neither of you is hurt, right?
"Of course. That's easy for me and Al to win."
"I'm glad to hear that..." I've already signaled you to get ready, here. "
I followed Rouchell's gaze, and there were three flags in front of me.
The three colors of white, red, and green signalled readiness for the mission.
Oops, well then, let's step back a little bit
Ardis retreated toward Grace as they confronted the surrounding enemies.
I guess they also confirmed the signal from the main unit.
Friends of the Westeria Mercenaries gathered a little further down the line.
Grace opened her mouth as she glanced at all her friends.
"It's about time we got together." Our job is to assault from the top.Do you still have the power to build scaffolds?Did you wrap the landmark cloth around your wrist?If you use up your magic power without thinking about it first, you'll have to confess before you know it. "
Of course, there's no such fool in the Wisteria Mercenary Corps.
Even if I was, it's already under the soil.
"Okay, look, our job is to raid the enemy headquarters."They're targeting an enemy commander, a general like Jeriah.You can target the guards around you, but who do you want to show your pain?Don't forget that! "
Oh, my God!
We need to get a newspaper that made us mucky!
"They're going to beat you to the death!"
Mercenaries are gaining momentum.
"It's almost time to jump in. The timing won't last long." Don't be late! "
As Grace said, there was a lot of change on the battlefield.
The Rhodelia Royal Army has been drawn forward across the battlefield against the Five Allied armies, who have been quietly and patiently retreating, showing unimaginable coordination.
As a result, Rhodelia's main unit was somewhat separated from the rest of the force.
It's not as far as the main unit can move, but it's still not as far as the allies can turn and return immediately.
An allied detachment of five nations will launch a flanking assault there.
However, the enemy didn't notice that it was a joy in itself.
The magic released from the detachment was half for offensive purposes and the other half for blinding purposes only.
Smoke magic, light-blocking magic, and sorcery that winds dust from the ground block the main Rhodelia army's view.
"Now! Let's go, you guys!"
Respond!
The faces of the Wisteria Mercenaries that were waiting for that moment began to move at once.
Like an arrow fired from the bowman's hand, he ran up the sky, relying on the invisible scaffold he had created, and rushed into the main unit of the Rhodelia army, which was surrounded by dust.
Aim for the center of the enemy.
If possible, take the butterfly's head, which is the commander's.
There's not that much time left until my sight clears.
If we don't hit the enemy and leave by then, we'll be surrounded by a lot of enemies.
The blindfolded detachment was supposed to attack the enemy main unit from the side by taking advantage of the confusion, but I could not be optimistic that it would succeed.
It's fair to say that the operation succeeded when the enemy's main force was in disarray.
I have done my duty as a mercenary employed by the Union of the Five.
All you have to do is strike down the enemy general with your personal feelings as a Wisteria Mercenary.
"Lorna, Lou, don't leave me!"
"Who are you talking to!"
"It's okay, I'll follow you!"
Accepting their answers, Aldis, like the rest of the crew, rushed to the location of the enemy's main force.
