The presentation was a success.

The Calvinella Knights were to explore and destroy the Dark Nest.

The rough operation was decided within that day, but not all of the Knights are always on standby at White Sword Castle, so they plan to go out two days after the force is ready. Incidentally, Sedham was requested by the Knights as an individual, and Crawla, as a Mage Guild member, was to accompany him to see things through.

"... I'm good with either, but you've been made an 'ally'. After all, the captain is a doer."

"Oh well..."

Sedham whispered to me in confusion after the meeting. Indeed, being an ally means being in an alliance in the future. That also means that we have gained the back shield of the Knights of Calvinella, and that at the same time we have an obligation to support them. If that's what you were thinking and saying on that occasion, there's nothing more to it than a boulder.

"... let them play with care so they can't make too many alliances with everywhere at that rate?

He said he was biting Crawler's advice that he hated.

"A little, would you mind?

I was just stopped by the Knights Commander.

... I can't think of a reason to say no.

Me and the Knight Commander moved into his private room and were behaved like sil tea.

"I'm afraid the Knight Commander himself."

I don't like it when I talk to this Mitsuhito for too long. With strength in his belly, he gazes at his fallen sharp eyes.

"Can I talk to you about something?

"As we have just decided, I am leaving the command of the Crusaders to Arnoggia.... As you can see, that one is still young"

……

I silently included sil tea in my mouth in an attempt to reduce my mouth count to avoid boring.

"The kid I gave you late is a cute one. I know you think I'm stupid... but I'd like to ask you to take a look at that."

…… Uh... I see. "

Dude.... well, I've already made you an ally, and if a guy comes to me who can meteorite me against someone I don't like, am I wrong to try to draw him into my side for now, or what?

"Although it would be an honor for you to appreciate that much.... Isn't he endorsed by the knights?

"For the most part. But some are dissatisfied. As you know, this Knights originally belonged to the Calvinella family..."

According to his explanation, the current provisions of the Knights dictate that the next head of delegation be determined by the vote of all knights. So you're saying there's a opposing horse?

"Lord Gillion is after the captain's seat."

"It's just a natural claim to him."

"... it sounds like you want it to be your son's hindsight, not Lord Gillion's."

It would certainly be a powerful boost if I, officially an ally of the Knights, expressed my support for one or the other. If I'm on Gillion's side, it'll be a hassle for Sardish father and son.

"... Gillion has inherited all his father's bad side"

"Hmmm..."

In terms of advantages or disadvantages, it would be a good idea to gain trust from the commanders and knights by supporting Arnoggia. Conversely, though, you would buy resentment from Gillion and his faction (if any). Besides, I have trouble putting any more shoulders in the Knights and putting restrictions on my future actions.

"The Knights and I are in a strong alliance, that is unwavering. … the knights will always choose the most suitable person for the next head of the regiment"

"... the words alone reassured me. Lord Wizard, thank you for your continued support."

Arnoggia or Gillion, I'll go out with you indefinitely, no matter which way you become head of the regiment. Return the back and you won't be on either side, and you won't be an enemy. What I wanted to say would have been well conveyed.

"... I'm tired..."

Relaxing in a luxurious room that was once again appreciated, he now received a call from Arnoggia. If he also tells me that he has become my guardian or something, I will use a spell to escape, but I will leave the room.

"I apologize for calling you, my wizard."

Arnoggia waited for me in the castle courtyard. For some reason, it's fully armed, with knights lined up behind it. Something like 20 people in total?

"I don't mind... What can I do for you?

"Actually, I'd like you to cooperate with our training."

"Training?"

"Whatever, the Wizard Lord can create monsters that resemble the dark..."

[Ghost Platoon Creation (Creerito Ogle Platoon)]? I've never shown them, but I guess they passed it on in order of Maura - Sedam - Arnoggia.

I see, but this is also convenient for me. For once, how far can the Knights, whose task it is to fight the dark and undead, fight their six-level Ogle opponents? It would be a guide to thinking about the balance of power in this world (Sedia).

"I myself have never fought a real demon. The same goes for half of the knights. Being here is part of the squadron, but could you please give me the opportunity to train assuming the dark?

Much more decent than I thought, a favorite favor. His eyes glimpse into a pure sense of purpose. It's dazzling for a dirty adult.

"Gratuities are available here."

After Arnogear lowered his head, a young knight came to offer a leather bag with respect. The contents seem to be gold coins. Again, this boy, he's serious.

"No, you can't accept gratuities with such an easy help. I want that money spent effectively for the Knights."

"Oh, thank you!

At the same time as Arnoggia, the knights behind him bowed their heads simultaneously. The young knight who had the gold coin is clearly relieved. The Knights don't have any money, so don't try to get out of Arnoggia... Dad's worried about you...?

"Then… this spell creates a platoon of six Ogles from nothing and places them under control for three days. [Ghost Platoon Creation (Creerito Ogle Platoon)]"

"Whoa..."

"It's really dark..."

But the colors are different.

"I didn't know I could even do this..."

It's training, so I didn't let the Ogles have weapons. But nearly three meters of giants and rock-like fists can easily be beaten to death by a concurrent human being or something. The impression compared to a real giant ghost was that fighting power seemed mutually reinforcing.

The knights heard a great twist. Arnogear also has eyes open. Ogle is reddish brown compared to the giant ghost's skin being pitch-black, and he's generally not waving that burning hatred. Some knights pointed that out calmly, but I want you to calm down a little bit.

"Now, I'd like to start from a second-hand split. As a precaution, even if we defeat those...?

"Oh. Well, I don't mind"

"Oh wait!!"

Anger has interrupted the conversation. It doesn't have to be seen, it would be Gillion. I'm taking Riolia and the knights of my own men.

"Aloooo! What, are you running out of here?

"Ugh, please don't."

"Brother. You're rude!

Riolia blames it on Gillion, who squeezes Arnoggia's thin body with a completely overlooked attitude. Arnoggia has a troubled but grinning look, but each other's men stared at each other with a rather sinister look. From the look on the faces of the people peering through the courtyard and castle windows, it seems that only the knights of my men have respect for Gillion.

Don't you have much to worry about, Commander Knights?

"Lord Wizard. Let me do this first! Would that be good!?"

"So, but we're better off first..."

Arnogear doesn't seem to like Gillion (well, there won't be much fun with Gillion opponents), and he's pretty weak. Still, I guess I'm not totally swallowed because I wouldn't say I'd give in.

"Gillion."

"Oh, my wizard."

I didn't like the Gillion type when I was in Japan either, and I might have been upset if it was my men like Arnogear. But it's something that changes the way you look and feel if you change your position. I was familiar with them, regardless of the story of the next head of delegation.

"Arnoggia was faster this time. You don't have to worry. Ogle can still create it. Can you put up with the training after them?

"Ugh... Wow, okay..."

"Excuse me. Thank you for your generosity."

Gillion of boulders can't seem to be so tyrannical after seeing [Meteor] either. Rather, I even feel scared. Rio Lia also looked at this one with a trusted look. Unless it's pitiful that it's not my virtue.

"Bye, gentlemen. Per placement."

"Understood."

Speak loudly of the meaning of the rearrangement, and shake the wand.

"All hands! Prepare for battle! First and second platoons are side-by-side defenses! Third platoon stands by for flanking offense, fourth platoon in reserve!

"" Roger!

Arnoggia unexpectedly gave the instructions in a sharp voice: more than two dozen knights quickly lined up.

Ten people line up sideways to the wall, five on the right side and five in the back row. Arnoggia was mixed with the knights in the back row.

"Attack the knights, Ogles. Never kill."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

"Gaaaa!"

I was heartily surprised by the tone of nature and command. Well, whatever the tone, the Ogles follow orders and burst into the cavalry screaming furiously.

"Shield, stand down!

In keeping with the decree of Arnoggia, the knights in the front row raised a shield with a crest on it. The undisturbed movement and posture are a reminder of the steel wall...

"Garwoo!"

"Around!?"

The walls erected with the flesh of the knight, sheet metal armor and shields swayed in abundance. There were no knights who just swept away with a single blow, but the line is greatly disturbed, such as those who lie back, flutter or step back on their bumps.

"Damn...... bear with me!

"Grrrrrr! Gaaaa!

The knight in the center of the line inspires his companions, but relies too little on the violence of six Ogles who wave their fists down in doom.

"... eh"

I guess I got lost in the next instruction, Arnoggia's instruction stopped.

"Whoa!"

Still in the meantime, Ogle's fist bones, like coming down from the sky, were finally sweeping away the knight with every shield he took. Two or three go on and the knight, who breaks his knee unbearably and is beaten down, continues.

"... Huh!? 4th Platoon forward! Third Platoon, turn around!

"Ghaa!?"

"Wow!?"

While pulling, Arnoggia does not give up and gives additional instructions. But there was too much difference in individual combat power. From the side where the reserve blocks the hole in the defensive line, one knight after the other is beaten up.

"Holy shit!

"Gaaaa!"

Five knights circling to the side wave their swords down Ogle's flank or back. Several attacks ripped Ogle's flesh and succeeded in dealing damage, but sank one after the other with a fist of counterattack.

"Damn... harden up! Win the White Sword!

"Oh, don't try."

"... Al! Don't give up! Aim for your eyes!

I was unintentionally squeaking when I saw Arnoggia calling a few knights standing and collecting them and forming a circle of back-to-back circles. Rio lia cheers too. Gillion is......

"Shit. What are you doing? If I were you..."

It came with us. But it's a better category to dew your emotions like these two, and the knights and castle people you watched aren't even voices. I can't help it because the Ogles are virtual ghosts.... I mean, isn't this bad?

"... that's it!

Arnoggia worked well and flushed Ogle's fist with a shunning shield a few times, but his sword was bouncing back into Ogle's muscles. Shortly before Ogle's wielded arm captured his head, I spoke up. The faithful Ogle movement stops perfectly at the moment.

"... Ugh..."

Arnoggia groaned with a pale face, though.

"... well done everyone!... Rest already today. By the time we go out, let's rethink our tactics! It's okay, this is training. Name your manners in action!

Yet, I was genuinely impressed with the attitude of helping and awakening the fallen knights. All the more so because Arnoggia found out with her expression that she didn't believe what she said.

"also, sorry......"

"Next time be sure..."

"Damn, that's sloppy! I'll show you an example, an example!

In the voice of Gillion, who does not read the air at all, just a little recovered morale fell to the bottom again.

"Oh no! What do you say!!

The way Gillion fought, led by the Second Squadron, was the true opposite of Arnoggia.

Shortly after the start, he leaves his men and others behind and goes first.

Sometimes I was just confident. Take Ogle's fist disappointingly with his shield and bounce it back. Target the steeple precisely with a return poke. He is more agile at the gigantic and skillfully avoids focused attacks with more precise moves than...

"Ha! Shh!"

It was Riolia who fought in circles on that gillion.

Running around at speeds I don't think I'm wearing armor, messing up the ogre, swinging my sword down for heels and knee joints.

"Whoa!"

The audience swallowed solitude and watched. The whole of Rio's attacked Ogle is finally on his knees.

Is it something so different in the same person?... No, this is the reality of this world (Sedia). Experience or qualities, some factor makes about as much difference between heaven and earth in human strength. It's just a world of heroes.

"Nice one, Rio! Ugh!?"

"Chi! Get off me!"

But unfortunately that was it.

Gillion, who made a momentary move, is kicked down from behind by Ogle's huge leg, and the breathless Rio Leah also grabs his arm and removes his sword.

… of course. All the knights of the Second Squadron who obeyed them had fallen and fallen.

"That's it, that's it!

I rush to stop the Ogles from moving.

"Damn! Let me do it again, my wizard!

"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

Though I was impressed with Gillion screaming vigorously as he rolled all over the ground and sandy, and with Riolia continuing to beat Ogle, who stopped moving while grabbing his own arm, in a different way than the Arnogear just now.

"Why are you making the atmosphere worse before you go out?

... I'd like you to say it's good to know 'this' before you go out.

I need to know as an 'ally'. Hmm.
