The soldiers of the Kingdom of Garott, brought by Zirnia, were already deployed in Bamil territory.
They were a large army of 4,000 men.
Though I was a little worried about whether it was a good idea to have them come as reinforcements, Zirnia explained to me that there was something deeper at hand.
She didn’t give me any details, but she said that we had to protect this place at all costs.
Apparently, the Kingdom of Garott is concerned about the Bamil territory.
I’m curious about the deeper circumstances, but since it has nothing to do with the battle, I think it’s okay for now.
The reinforcements from the Kingdom of Garott were, as expected, mostly made up of infantry.
In a defensive battle, cavalry would be useless.
There seems to be some heavily armed infantry, and some archers.
Unfortunately, there were few magic soldiers, but only soldiers in healing positions.
However, since we have the water bullet gauntlets I made, it will be no problem even if they are not there.
Though I only pray that they don’t misfire.
Since the reinforcements arrived, I’ve had them stir the water to keep it from freezing.
Well, it still freezes when it does, so several times Houen has melted it or I put out new water, but such reports are becoming less and less frequent.
Is there any magical tool that doesn’t cause water to freeze or something like that? ……
But this time, water will be our lifeline, so we must never let it freeze and run out.
Although maybe it’s just not frozen because it’s noon right now.
We’re having the guards take turns keeping watch and the guards are equipped with water bullet gauntlets.
They say it’s cold because it’s water, but I’ve been having them take it off when they’re not busy, and I’ve been having them use it for practice.
Their accuracy seems to be improving.
As the battle is near, everyone is a little tense.
There are many who are going to battle for the first time.
They cannot be reassured just because reinforcements have arrived.
“So cold……”
It has been snowing for two months …….
According to the season in Japan, is it New Year? Or is it Setsubun……?
I didn’t expect it was going to be this cold. ……
Or this world doesn’t have any New Year’s celebration or anything like that.
Well, maybe they just don’t because of this situation.
However, all the people in the area don’t seem to be too cold.
They seem to be fine, as if this level of coldness is normal. ……
I wonder if people living in snow country are like this.
“Oh, there you are.”
“Houen, huh? Can you warm me up a little?”
“Don’t use me as a heater. ……”
And yet, he was kind enough not to put away the wings of the flame.
Thanks to the arrival of the Houen, the cold has been eased.
But when he’s gone, hell will be waiting for me once again.
“How are things going?”
“I’ve deployed the Haze Manipulation, but so far I can’t see any enemies.”
Right now, I’m standing on top of the newly built wall, scouting for the enemy.
If the enemy comes, I’m responsible for telling them that the enemy is coming by bursting the air that I’ve pushed in with air compression and making a sound. ……
So cold!
Of course it is, it’s pretty high up here.
The wind is blowing very nicely…there is no forest here…it’s on the plains side….
I’m already waiting for them to come, so I hope they’ll come soon. ……
