When I received that newspaper, it was the usual harassment of the Kingdom of Yellinetta that came to my mind.
If you fight properly, your minutes are bad. I have that idea, but the kingdom of Scuderia, which is steadily gaining strength, is an eye-catcher.
Then let's repeat the skirmishes every year and let them devote their strength to defense.
That is the reason for the actions of the Kingdom of Yellinetta.
But still, I get enough soldiers to attack the fortified city every time. Besides, once a fortified city is surrounded, food problems also arise.
"... I have no choice. Only the First Knights and the Mages will compete. Also send a messenger to send soldiers to the neighboring lords."
When I told him that, the butler's silhouette opened his mouth.
"There is a village near Sukdet ruled by your son Van, but there..."
"Fool, you. It's not a village where you can send soldiers. On the contrary, it would be best eaten."
When answered, Silhouette opines again with a difficult look.
"But according to a pedestrian from Wang Capital the other day, Master Van gave the Baron position thanks to the exorcism of the dragon..."
To that word, I sigh deeply.
This man, who became deacon as Esparda's successor, certainly understands his role as deacon well and can be transferred to execution.
However, because there is no more knowledge and experience than Esparda, there was a lack of care.
"Crap. Think for yourself a little bit. How much is it worth, like rumors and people's words? By and large, if we expel the young dragon or the sub-dragon, we should bring the report to our Marquis' house first. But there's no such report."
"Well, that's true...... Master Van is not an ordinary child. Something you can't even imagine..."
"Shut up. Shut up and get ready."
When he blocked the words and said so, Silhouette nodded with a difficult look and left the room.
For a long time, such words have been heard well by those who carry out their duties in the building.
"Van must be a genius"
In particular, the word seemed to be commonly used among maids.
I've peddled that word before, and I was curious to note it, but from what I can tell, he just looked like a kid who remembered things well.
In fact, Esperda and Dee educated with care, but they have never achieved better results than other children.
If you can't get results, does everyone feel the potential I don't know?
I thought so, but the results of the magical aptitude appraisal were the worst.
For what I expected, the disappointment was enormous and I felt my feelings cooling rapidly.
"What is the new hero of the Dragon Crusade? What can I do in that little village to rid my children of dragons? Where Espada and Dee were, it's impossible."
I rang my nose and I looked out the window.
The city's boulevard stretches north. Through that path, Van traveled to an unnamed village.
I don't know why they admire it, but many maids and soldiers volunteered to accompany Van on his departure, but dismissed him as unwieldy to governing the border where failure is firmly established.
It was therefore Count Ferdinut's plot that floated first when he heard that Van had succeeded and even made an epistle.
It is a land that has taken the form of territory from the Count. Doesn't the Count lend a hand to Van to sell his grace and try to regain his territory? That's what I thought.
But I immediately denied it. It creates a wasted risk on the roundabout. The Earl who guards me will not be the hitter.
I made that decision early, and I was erasing Van from my head.
"... crap. but once you get rid of the armies of the kingdom of Yellinetta, will you stop by and see"
If we were able to develop the village at all, shall we also consider a little assistance?
He reached the largest town near Sukdet, putting together knights and mercenaries from nearby towns and aiming for Sukdet all the way.
Since we have fought many times over similar itineraries, it takes only about three weeks to reach Sukdet.
The report was an early horse, and we should have been able to get there at the fastest speed ever.
But already some of the walls of Scudetto were destroyed and completely besieged by the enemy.
The moment I accidentally squealed, something small black fell from the sky onto the walls.
Shortly afterwards, the ground sounds and the flames rise, and the black smoke rises.
"From the sky, what sorcery...!?
"Wow, I don't know! There are countless Wyburns in the sky, but there are no magicians......!?
The soldier chief answers my question bewildered.
Then Stradare, the blue-haired man next door, narrowed his eyes sharply.
"The walls appear to have been fatally impacted by the current attack. The collapse will be current. There is no doubt that the earlier attack was carried out in such a way as to drop something from Wyburn. I was wondering if it would be effective to destroy it within the sky with your fire magic, or to constantly move around the earth and retreat the enemy soldiers on the ground."
I nod shallow to the prophecy.
"Okay. But the destruction of that object by the sorcerer is highly dangerous. The distance is too far away to aim from the diagonal bottom. The same goes for tapping Wyburn's body."
"Then we can leave the soldiers on the ground"
"Uhm."
Answered, Stradare quickly took command and began his military service.
I laugh quietly at that hindsight that moves without hesitation. Damn, he's a man I can count on. The intelligent Stradare is exactly the right person to head our Knights.
"Watch out for attacks from Wyburn! Don't stop your legs, move fast!
Brief instructions were given, and Stradare led the soldiers to run the horses.
There are no formations in the enemy, but if you storm straight across the entire army, you will be surrounded from left to right. To prevent it, this one has to spread left and right and go in such a way as to encompass half of the fortified city.
But just be careful, as always, it's just a task to get rid of the opponent who was headed for the walls.
In other words, it is Wyburn who should be most conscious.
That's what I thought and watched from the makeshift headquarters, but the war didn't go as I thought.
There is so much shock and earthquake from all over that our soldiers are blown away.
I thought it was a novice sorcery, but it doesn't have that vibe. But it's something we can't ignore.
"Let the soldiers on the front divide left and right. I'm out."
"... Huh! Ha! Immediately!
A young soldier chief replied to my words and ran the horse.
After a while, the orders were passed on to the soldiers, and there was a pocky hole in the front. Only the soldiers of the Kingdom of Yelinetta who see this one behind the walls were left behind.
Confirmed that, and I chanted.
"Fire Belt (Flare)"
Exercise witchcraft with the words.
A caged hand made of fire dragon skins and misrills is engulfed in flames, stirring like a creature.
And the flames gained momentum as they roared and burned, turning to the soldiers of the Kingdom of Yellinetta.
The belt of flames licking the earth burns down both the living and the dead, creating more than a hundred people-shaped ashes to hit the walls. It burned the sides of the walls so that the belt of flames that had lost its place of destination would hit its wrath, creating yet another sight like the walls of flames.
The enemy soldiers, who were close to my blow, stopped moving in fear, and only the anticipated Knights wave their swords unabated between them.
Instantly the war changed, and our Knights pursued a fleeing enemy soldier, snatching back half of Scudetto's perimeter.
Can you handle this?
That's what I thought, arrow tip, now I saw something black pouring down from above.
"Not good."
Shortly after that squeal, the ground echoes everywhere as it rocks the formation of our Knights spreading from left to right.
"... this battle doesn't seem like it's ever been"
With such a mouthful of sighing, I began the chant of sorcery.
