Two days after the Ardis entered the Castle.
Nicole's enemies began to move on the hill.
The number is about five thousand. Not enough to bring down Calvus, but it was originally meant to keep Calvus's forces and impede his freedom of movement.
In fact, Calvus' army can't move easily with 5,000 enemies sitting right next to its base.
It was a fact that I couldn't help sending aid to the city-state within the coalition that was still resisting.
If it was one enemy, it would be enough to block Calvus' movement.
If you show signs of assault like harassment from time to time, it will cause moral damage to Calvus.
Even if Calvus knew that the enemy's movements were mere deception, he had to deal with them.
Most of the time, it's just harassment, but there have been two real offensives.
I couldn't allow myself to be so carefree as to cause serious damage or invade the city.
"The enemy is not the Empire, but the army of the Republic of San Rogel, which came from across the sea." Don't be alarmed because I don't know what kind of hand you're going to use. Always keep the barrier open. "
After descending the hill and looking down at the nearby enemies from above the city's outer walls, Aldis draws attention to Liana with a worried face.
“Yes, I will take great care not to unblock the barrier.”
"Come down as soon as you think you can't." I was asked to do this by Nicole. "
"It's okay, we're not familiar with it." Aldis is too worried. Trust us a little bit more. ”
"Hmm..."
Aldis closes his mouth when he feels awkward, insinuating that he is an overprotective parent.
I'll go then.
Still, Aldis with a worried expression remained on the spot, and Riana jumped up the universe as she created an invisible scaffold like a staircase.
I was amazed by the sights I had never seen before, and the soldiers of the Calvus Army unfolding on the outer wall.
Can you see it from the other side?
Riana looks at the enemies unfolding in front of her as she exposed herself to the sky through a hundred steps of scaffolding.
Ah, it looks like you've noticed.
I saw a few humans running in a hurry in some of the well-organized enemy space.
Well then, let's get started.
Riana magnifies her voice with her magic.
Hello to the monarchy.
A voice that sounded the same as usual echoed all around.
It looks like they've reached the enemy territory without any problems, and their soldiers, aligned with the sudden event, are on the loose.
The surprises were similar to those of Calvus's soldiers.
I think Ardis and Cyril are just as calm.
Until Neret was taught that sounds and voices were transmitted by the vibrations of the air, Liana had no idea that magic could do such an art.
However, if you even understand the reason, all that remains is how to realize it by magic power.
I kept seeing the magic of Aldis beside me, and this magic was not enough for Riana and the others who had been tricked by Nere.
Rianna kept going without any hesitation.
"My name is Hu (...) Li (...) A (...) Na (...). That's why I'm helping Calvus defend itself."
I noticed that Aldis looked up at Liana in confusion.
Riana was a little strange, and her cheeks were loose.
That said, the explanation to Aldis is later.
We must do what we have to do now.
Riana, who called herself Filiana, waved her right arm in a straight line from left to right in a daring exaggerated gesture so that she could see it from a distance.
At the same time, I used my magic to draw a line right in the middle of the enemy area and Calvus.
Even if it is a line, it is not painted. The shockwave created by sorcery slammed into the ground without cutting it, digging deep into the soil with its power.
I did not release it for attack, but if it hits the human body, it will definitely have the power to cut off every bone.
It's the same width as the enemy's lineup, and it's engraved in an instant.
Some of the enemy soldiers were upset at the situation that appeared in front of them due to incomprehensible forces.
"If you cross that line, there is no guarantee for your life. If you think you are going to risk your life, I will advise you not to cross that line.”
Of course, Liana knew it was meaningless advice.
They are the enemy armies that have waged war against us.
Rather, they would take Liana's words as a provocation.
As expected, the enemy gradually deformed the formation and showed signs of moving to the Siege Castle.
And as the front-row heavy infantry, with their shields in place, begins to move towards us.
It was clear that the entire army was going to come.
“It's a final warning. We won't be relentless if we cross that line. I will do everything in my power to eliminate you as a hostile. I repeat, this is the final warning.”
With that, Riana closed her eyes thinking that the enemy would never stop.
The opponent is not a group of beasts, nor is it a cohesive crowd.
An organization headed by a commander and disciplined by military discipline.
Even though I don't know how to do it, I can't escape by returning my heel to my little girl with a warning.
The enemy made a solemn step forward and finally crossed the line drawn by Riana.
I wasn't close enough to receive arrows or normal attack magic.
That's why the enemy hasn't charged yet, and they're closing their distance gently.
But...
"I've... warned you."
For Riana, who understood magic and manipulated it, the range was different from the usual magicians.
I wonder if the enemy commander doesn't understand.
Riana had already shown her magic to draw a line.
The location where the line was drawn is also the range for Riana.
Because you don't understand that, you probably don't understand that crossing the line without defense is a suicidal act.
When Liana stopped screaming by magic, she created a sphere that shone seven colors over her head.
As the surface of the mysteriously shining sphere, reflecting sunlight, gradually wavered, its irregularities increased in intensity.
One of the large protruding waves stretched out elongated, eventually transforming into an arrow of light.
The spawned arrows of light left Liana one after another and flew toward the enemy soldiers.
The first few were on the verge of being pierced by arrows of light in defensive positions.
After more than ten people were defeated, the enemy finally realized they were under attack.
A front-line heavy infantryman tries to hold his shield against the arrows of light, but Riana herself knows it to be pointless.
Normal magic could have prevented it.
However, Riana was using something similar to a magic rainbow [Rite Cuoro Berné].
While the arrows of light emanating from the rainbow bow "Lite Cuoro Berne" go straight ahead, the magic of Riana, the "rainbow bow" "Lite Cuoro Berne", changes its orbit freely according to the will of the sorcerer.
The arrow followed an unnatural trajectory and dived into an armor gap. If the enemy stood in a shield, it bypassed it and attacked from the side.
The unfortunate casualties do not stop the entire enemy force.
Tens out of a total of five thousand armies.
Enemy commanders will know from now on that this is just the beginning, albeit slightly damaged by the numbers.
“I'm sorry, but I can't let you lose.”
With words that didn't reach anyone, Riana changes the way she attacks.
Half of them have already crossed the line.
An intimidating attack won't stop us anymore.
Liana manipulates the flow of the atmosphere with magic while simultaneously consolidating the moisture in the air and creating countless sharp blades of ice.
Intentionally change the pressure of the air and draw the wind from the surroundings.
Gradually, the wind grew stronger and stopped the enemy soldiers.
The center of the wind is in the middle of enemy territory.
The wind gets stronger.
The lightweight enemy soldiers seemed to have a faint footprint, and the number of people hanging around grew.
Curl the wind.
Drawn from the surroundings, the wind wrapped in the middle of the enemy field turned into a large vortex and rose to the sky.
While maintaining a large flow, Riana creates several small turbulences in it.
It was filled with sharp, pointed blades of ice.
Countless blades carried by the wind slashed the enemy soldiers indiscriminately as they were drifting by the turbulence.
Blood spray rises, and it winds up into the sky.
Gradually, the vortex of wind begins to stain the color of blood, and the color darkens over time.
That means the enemy soldiers in the vortex are bleeding.
Blocked by the sound of the wind, she could not hear the enemy soldiers screaming at Riana, but the wind vortex, which was definitely stained with red, pushed herself unreservedly against the reality she had evoked.
It would have been a sight that could only be called hell for the enemy.
But it will finally come to an end.
The visual impact must have been strong. Rianna hasn't crossed the line yet, so the enemy rear units that were caught in the blood storm have begun to retreat.
"I wish you had withdrawn sooner..."
Confirming that the enemy had begun retreating, Rianna dissolves the sorcery.
Some of the enemies involved will still be alive.
As expected, Rianna did not intend to attack anyone who was wounded and trying to escape.
Even if you don't do that, the opponent is already suffering irreparable damage.
In addition, the psychological damage should be significant.
Seeing the retreating enemy, Riana looked over the battlefield again.
In just a few moments, the blood-stained earth and the bodies of the remaining enemy soldiers could be seen.
Unwelcome disgust and guilt.
This is the path I chose, and the result of the work I undertook is this red earth.
Still, Riana was prepared to choose.
Even if you regret it, even if you are resented by someone, you will continue to walk next to Aldis with all the power you have.
In order to do that--a sight that cannot be avoided in order to qualify for it is spreading right now.
After offering a few silent prayers to the dead in her hands, Riana descends onto the outer wall where Aldis awaits.
I stood in front of Aldis who was waiting for me and looked up at him awkwardly.
Originally, Aldis was opposed to Liana and the others taking up the battlefield.
And it was Lianna who pushed me through with impatience.
That's why we have to show Aldis the strength and the results he's convinced of.
Meanwhile, the only reason for me to fight is the egotistical shallowness of just wanting to be next to Ardis.
Have you seen through this shallow idea? I wonder if he's discerning his own confusion.
Somewhere in the world, such fear could not connect victory with joy, but it led to an attitude of disgusting Aldis' complexion.
Aldis sharpens his distance from Riana.
As they approached each other, Ardis gently hugged Liana and wrapped her arms around her.
“You don't have to work too hard. Don't push yourself into it."
Liana's body was stiff for a moment.
Just a little bit.
Words of Aldis, like words, like words. The words relieve the impatience that was driving Riana somewhere.
After all, Liana thought.
I guess Aldis knew all about himself and Philia's thoughts.
The confusion of fighting, the fear it brings, the shallowness and the impatience of being cornered that you chose to fight.
Aldis knows and respects the will of Liana and the others.
"Aldis..."
One word crushed the name, and Liana leaned herself against Aldis' chest.
The warm arms firmly wrapped around her body, and Liana realized that her heart was calming down.
While being wrapped up in the familiar smell of the odor, relax and you'll feel absolutely safe.
That alone made me feel rewarded for everything.
