In front of the castle gate, Aldis sporadically kicked off the soldiers who were trying to stop them.
"Gathering, gathering"
Rona snorted in a somewhat pleasant tone.
Fifty armed soldiers guarded the front of the gate.
They must have gotten ready while the Aldis walked around the town.
"Well, if you don't get together, there's no point in giving me time."
If you just take the head of King Toria, you can sneak in late at night.
However, since the purpose of this time was to fuss about the power of Aldis, it was necessary to show the overwhelming difference in power in a way that touched people's eyes as much as possible.
We don't even have to focus on dropping Triya's castle if we're going to reach that goal.
Stand up!
A bow and arrow are pointed at Aldis as he leisurely walks, and a semicircular spearhead is surrounded.
As expected, I didn't feel comfortable with the Tria Army trying to speak to the opponent who had scattered the soldiers so far.
"You know that, Rona."
"I know. Don't kill me as much as you can, right?"
”Showing off the overwhelming difference in power, I'm losing my mind”
"Yes, yes."
After a short exchange of words, Rona began to move.
Take it down!
The commanding Lieutenant spoke up, and the soldiers lined up and thrust out their spears.
Rona thrusts her tip into the middle of the enemy.
It's fast!
Aim for your legs!
The soldiers immediately tried to deal with it, but Rona was flirting with the flow of water in between, only to disrupt the cooperation.
Of course, Lorna wasn't the only enemy of the soldiers.
When Aldis pushed the sword he had been using into the gate, he pulled out a red sword from his waist and held it in his hand.
The sword that Aldis and Cyril discovered in the depths of the Coruscan Forest and brought back to Malida's Chamber of Commerce, and then revealed a mysterious phenomenon during the Raytin defense.
Ardis stepped into his sword in a line up disrupted by Lorna.
Don't let me through!
On the commander's orders, the soldiers' spears are thrust at Aldis.
However, as soon as the red sword stroked its tip, it was supposed to be made of hard metal and fell like a grass mowed by a sickle.
What's the matter!?
Closing his eyes to the surprised soldier, Aldis swung down his red sword with all his might.
A red sword cuts through a soldier's skin and armor.
The red sword triggers a strange event when it's time to sever the soldier's body.
The blade instantly lost its sharpness.
”Gaaa!”
The soldier blows into the ground and falls as if he was being slashed.
However, even though the skin was completely torn apart and the skin revealed, there was not a drop of blood flowing from it.
Ardis slashes through the attacking soldiers one by one, but he's sure to blow them apart with his red sword.
Neither the shield that tried to prevent the sword attack nor the spear that launched the attack were all chopped by the red sword as if they were tearing a piece of paper apart, but it was unusual that none of them bled.
"It's convenient, this..."
Aldis snaps at the soldiers as they turn them out of battle.
This red sword in Aldis's hand wasn't the only mysterious thing about Ratin.
For some reason, I couldn't send them across the gate like other swords, but what was even more strange was that they turned into a complete nostalgia for humans.
While it exhibits a terrible cleavage against monsters, beasts, and weapons worn by humans, it can't be cleaved against humans at all.
Aldis does not know why such a phenomenon occurs.
However, depending on your thinking, it can be a great weapon when you don't want to kill people in vain.
Enemy weapons and armor can be easily torn apart, turning them into mere iron bars that have lost their sharpness to the human body.
Of course, even with the iron rod, it couldn't be more intact.
Of course, a bruise is unavoidable when properly treated.
But--
The sword's trajectory deviates unnaturally even as it targets the enemy's stronghold in a movement that is steeped in the body.
A flash of red sword off the beaten path shattered the soldier's shield.
"Don't shake your aim on your own!"
Aldis's complaint was directed at the red sword in his hand.
Somehow, when this sword, Aldis, strikes at the enemy's stronghold, it changes its trajectory as if it were rejecting it. At least Aldis felt that way.
As if the sword itself had the will, avoid a single blow that would inflict fatal injury on the enemy.
It didn't happen with monsters or beast opponents.
It was an incredible phenomenon, as if the sword itself was complaining that killing people was not allowed.
However, if so, I can use it.
The point is that it's only good if it's not used in interpersonal battles.
Or if the purpose is to show off our fighting power like this, there is nothing more convenient than this, because we don't want to bring out meaningless dead people.
The enemy is losing its initial momentum as it drives 70% of its soldiers out of battle.
Let's go, Rona.
And as Ardis walked out toward the gate, ignoring the soldiers who were sitting there, a man stood in front of him.
Wait!
This is the man who gave the orders to the soldiers earlier.
Probably the Commander here.
"My name is Do--"
Get out of the way!
Without waiting for the words of the man who wanted to raise his voice, Aldis waved the red sword across his head.
Along the way, an unnaturally modified trajectory slammed into the man's shoulder, and the feeling of crushing the bone passed into Aldis's hand.
”Gaaaa!”
Captain Doris!
A man blows up at the momentum and rushes to the surrounding men.
Looking sideways at the sight, Ardis stopped in front of the gate and created a flame sphere overhead.
"Do it flashily."
Yeah, I think we should show them off.
Replying to Lorna with an interesting expression, Aldis grew the size of the flame ball even larger.
As it grew in size, the flame sphere fluctuated and eventually reached a position that exceeded the height of the castle gate.
It is likely that this figure can be seen from all over Tria.
The bigger the look, the more powerful it will be, but it must be easier to understand from ordinary people who can't handle magic.
"Get away from the gate if you don't want to die!"
As soon as I delivered the warning to the soldiers, everyone fled from the vicinity of the castle gate, realizing that the resistance was helpless.
After confirming that, Aldis shoots down the flaming ball at the gate.
A giant flame ball fell with a sense of intimidation and crashed diagonally up into the castle gate.
Instantly, flashes of light surrounded it, as if destroying hearing, followed by a storm of rubble blowing in all directions.
I can hear screaming soldiers screaming from somewhere.
They must have been caught in the explosion at the castle gate.
Despite Aldis' warnings, they must have underestimated the power of sorcery and not been far from the castle gate.
I don't intend to take her life aggressively, but that's why Ardis wasn't going to apologize to her victims.
Ardis is here to fight.
It is only natural that people die in battle, and we have given them a chance to escape death in the form of advice.
"Oh, there you are." It's more than outside the gate, isn't it? "
"Those guys outside the gate, they're gonna buy us some time."
The castle gate is swept around the left and right walls and turned into countless pieces of rubble.
Looking beyond that pile of rubble, fully armed soldiers lined up in the inner courtyard leading from the castle gate, waiting for Ardis.
A hundred and twenty spears, fifty bows, and ten magicians.
Not as many as I thought?
This is how it is, isn't it?
It hasn't been long since Aldis declared hostilities at the outer gate.
Considering that it is impossible to muster all the troops stationed in Tria in this short period of time, and considering that the number of troops is reduced due to the failure of the Grok Expedition, this is a reasonable number.
"The more demonstrations, the better."
You can show the difference in power by how you fight, right?
"That's what happened."
Ardis and Rona leisurely exchanged words as they stepped over the rubble and inside the walls.
In contrast to the atmosphere of the two of them, there are just under two hundred soldiers waiting in the inner yard with hard faces and weapons.
"Let go!"
As the Aldis appeared in the inner courtyard, several fireballs were fired in a row.
It was a burst of fire from the mage squad that Tria's army was proud of.
It's not as small as the flaming spheres Aldis used to destroy the castle gates earlier, but it still has the power to inflict fatal injuries on ordinary humans if they take them properly.
A dozen magicians were unleashing it all at once.
If Aldis had been a regular mercenary, he wouldn't have had a chance.
"Bow, keep going!"
Dozens of arrows were fired at Aldis, who were blinded by the dust caused by the fireball.
The arrow, which is supposed to draw a parabola and be sucked into the target, falls to the ground, blocked by a purple barrier and unable to play a role.
After the sand and smoke were clear, Aldis stood unharmed.
The impossible sight brings a cold sweat to the soldiers' backs.
Is that it?
Aldis asked to be provoked.
"Shoot me, shoot me!"
The commander pulls back the swallowed soldier.
The sorcerer began to chant as if he had recovered me, and the Archer began to unleash two or three arrows.
On the other hand, Aldis stood aimlessly on the spot.
Can't you just start over here?
"Let him shoot until he's done."
Mmm, let me know when you're done.
Rona nodded and closed her eyes.
It was like taking a break, but the magic barrier that Aldis unfolded was playing out against Lorna.
Despite the unilateral attack, it was the Toriya soldiers who eventually began to show signs of exhaustion.
A sorcerer's attacks have a limit of magic power, and an archer's arrows have a limit of physical quantity.
When the magic attack first stopped, and then the bow-and-arrow attack began to sparse, Rona, who was nodding, opened her eyes after moving her ears twitching.
It's about time?
Oh, it's almost time to run out of arrows.
Lorna, who had heard Aldis's reply, stood up and looked around.
There were only a few sporadic arrows, and the sorcerers were already out of breath.
"Come on... I feel like I already have a fight."
Unlike Aldis, who was unilaterally attacked, the enemy soldiers were not even hit by an arrow.
Nevertheless, all the faces of the soldiers were filled with amazement and awe, and none of the soldiers were so determined to face the battle.
A voice of condolence flashes at such soldiers.
“What are you doing! The opponent is the only one!"
A sharp-eyed man raises his voice.
He's still young, but apparently he's the commander here.
A young man with short, slightly reddish brown hair.
"At the same time, push and wrap!"
The soldiers revive in the voice of the Commander.
Soldiers with spears stepped firmly on the ground and narrowed the tripartite encirclement to Aldis.
"I wonder if I can move this way."
Can I do everything I can from here?
"I want you to cure as many injuries as you can."
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Rona jumped after leaving a strange reply.
Apparently, I was going to head for the archers who were firing arrows from a height.
Can I take a look?
Aldis draws attention to the soldiers who were looking for Lorna, who had jumped.
Without waiting for them to turn around, Aldis jumped to the soldier in front of him and waved his red sword from the side.
The soldier's body was blown apart by a red sword that slashed his small hand, broke his arm bone, and knocked him without losing any more momentum.
Ardis charged at the nearby soldier and struck the flank with a violent blow. He jumped up the spear of the enemy who attacked from behind and entered his pocket. He pushed his chin from the bottom with the handle of his sword.
As usual, the red sword, which could not slash people, slashed the soldiers' gear one after another and shattered their bones.
Most soldiers lose their will to fight and leave the front when their spears are broken.
Apparently, she didn't have the battle spirit to stand up to with a broken spear, and each time Aldis wielded her sword, the number of enemies decreased one by one.
And it came to pass, that all the spearmen, which were superior to the hundreds, fell down on the ground, and only Aldis stood there.
"Ta-da-da-da. We're done here, too."
Archers and mages seemed to have been taken over by Rona, and none of the soldiers who were aiming at us from behind the Spearmen or from a height were satisfied.
At first glance, the inner courtyard is full of dead bodies as far as the eye can see.
It was a terrible sight, but both Aldis and Rona were careful not to kill as many people as they could.
In fact, few people are bleeding heavily, and most of them are moaning and breathing.
"What's the enemy commander...?"
"Ah, I did it just now."
I see.
When Aldis quickly kicked the young commander out of his head, he started walking with Lona, avoiding the agitated soldiers.
Are there still in the castle?
Well, that's a little bit of it.
Currently, most of the soldiers who could intercept the Ardis must have gathered in front of the castle gate and in the inner courtyard.
Now that we have destroyed them, it is difficult to imagine that the castle's soldiers are not alone, although it is unlikely that there will be a total number of them left.
So, at best, the enemy will have a small number of surprise attacks. Yes, Aldis concludes.
Well, if I go to my grandmother, I might be able to stand on my own.
”Hmm... if you seem strong, give it to me”
“All right, all right. Then does King Tria mean that Rona seems to be the strongest of the guards?"
Oops, let's go!
After a miserable sight spread across the inner yard, Aldis and Rona stepped into the castle with a light footsteps.
