Episode 10: The Open Side of War

"You're here."

A knight standing next to me shrugs.

He is the captain of the Knights for the security of Krashel, a knight entrusted with the defence of the East Gate, which is also important in this war.

By the dawn of the night and the rising of the sun, you can clearly see Imperial Army troops approaching Krashel as they raise their earthen smoke.

Five thousand troops are being directed towards us on the east side.

Five hundred troops are directed north and south. Your troops will aim to invade from the east with 5,000 men who are destined to keep only part of Krashel's forces nailed.

"So, what do you do?

It is on the outer walls of the city that we are.

A soldier capable of handling magic and bows will be placed wherever possible, with as many as 500 of them.

"First magic and bows, then we sharpen the number of enemies with artillery. I just couldn't get that many rounds ready when it comes to artillery, so if you shoot five, you're done."

Above the East Gate is a cannon that can attack ranges from left to right.

It's a useful cannon against military invasions, but it's dangerous if you keep it available from time to time. Maintenance costs are enormous. That's why I only bring shells from warehouses that are on the ground in an emergency, but only minimal shells could be brought in time for preparation because it was yesterday when the war was announced.

"Afterwards, if we get somewhat close, we can only attack at a distance to the extent of support. I don't want you to get closer than that."

"Only the destruction of the outer walls must be stopped"

Fighting was still taking place outside the gates at the time of the war ten years ago, but the outer walls were collapsed by being subjected to many magic showers.

As a result, the Imperial Army was allowed to enter the city, at the expense of many residents.

In order to maintain the army, it will be necessary to take care of the military personnel. People living in Krashel, a defensive hub, were being driven out as useful as backward support even if they had no power to fight.

And that's the same in this war.

Not only was there a shortage of supplies because it was a sudden war, but we didn't even have time to call people to take care of us. As a result, the residents were supposed to prepare meals and handle the injured.

- You can never get into the city.

When we are renewing our resolve as those who know the time,

"There you are."

I noticed a presence with great magic.

There are many of them.

"Their magic is powerful. I hope you never let me near you."

"Yes."

Being my first war participant, I am often taught by them.

See the army approaching as they teach on the ground in various ways.

"Magic, let go!

A wizard standing on the outer wall creates a fireball over his head and releases it towards the Imperial Army.

A white shining shield appears over the head of the advancing Imperial Army front-line unit, protecting the army from the fireballs pouring down from overhead. The shield won't even get the heat from the explosion.

"Arrow, let go!

Arrows are released according to the knight's decree.

The more powerful magic you use to reach the invading army, the more time you'll need to prepare the wizard.

If you let the arrows go with the magic too, you can't even get them caught up and delivered.

That's why I was supposed to alternate between magic and bows and arrows.

- Kinkin ', kinkin'!

The Imperial Army is also using a large shield raised overhead by a knight who is invading with the wizard to guard against arrows.

"After all, are they better prepared?"

Even if we kept doing the same thing, the arrows on the kingdom's side would run out.

Four knights on horses run from the Imperial Army when the first offense is carried out against each other that way. I have a big spear in my hand.

"Shit, they're gonna attack us all at once."

It's finally our turn.

"How do you move?

I ask Mr Philippe, who has also participated in the last war.

"What we do is we take down the strong guys that are coming up. The army will take care of the soldiers."

Then there are four knights running on horses that we have to deal with.

The two A-rank adventurers already introduced yesterday have gone downstairs with party members.

"... first we party into it. You two can just follow me."

"Become!? Are you going to act on your own!? But even from the point of view of the number of people, it's unfavourable, so after working out the operation..."

Yeah, and I laugh with my nose, and then I head towards the approaching knight.

No, that's not what knights are for, it's who they are on the other side of knights, isn't it?

A wizard with a party member's wand shoots an ice column at one of the knights, hits the leg of the horse the knight was riding on, and gets up and alerts this one when he manages to take a passive of what the knight is thrown out by the horse being rammed.

"Out of the way."

Shockwaves emit from his hands, blowing the knight wide open.

He's a blown knight, but he was up in seconds or so. but by that time already, the wizard who attacked had rushed back.

"That's Mr. Iveed."

"Really?

"It's going to reach S-rank in strength, but his purpose is only to be interested in Gargasso, who's in the Glenvarga Empire. Yes, it is."

A man with a double sword - Mr. Kurt tells me.

An adventurer called Iveed seems to be only interested in taking the initiative to go to battle whenever there is a skirmish with the Glenvarga Empire and to fight Gargasso, the wizard belonging to the Empire who stands like a rival.

They say that rings embedded in all fingers also have the effect of increasing the temperature of magic and the speed of magic activation with magic tools to keep you fighting on the battlefield for a long time.

The land called Krashel seems attractive to him standing on the battlefield with even such magic tools.

He also said that I had never known him before, mostly because he was on the battlefield or trained to enhance himself, so he only came to the Adventurer Alliance at a minimum.

Whoa, not if we're thinking about that, either.

"Now let's hope we survive each other"

There are four knights who must be defeated.

We have two sets of parties.

"Please do as usual"

"Oh!"

Mr. Dalton slaps a sword on the ground and shakes the ground slightly.

Even Mr. Dalton, who is not good at magic in an attack using earthly magic, can shake the surrounding ground slightly enough to surprise an approaching horse.

The horse I was running rammed by surprise on the rocking ground.

I'm landing somehow though a knight who was on a rampaging horse is shaken off his horse.

"Windcutter"

Mr. Eric's unleashed blade of wind strikes against the landed knight, slashing and tearing the knight's body apart.

Looks like the two of us are okay over there.

"Oh, fuck off."

Mr. Phillip, who went from the front toward the other knight, jumps right in front of the horse and slaps his fist against the knight's head.

The knight is also using his spear to repel Mr. Philip's attack.

But he couldn't move well on the horse and the knight jumped off the horse.

"Quite a strong man."

There is a strong man's style in putting up a spear and staring at Mr. Philip.

but what does that mean?

"Mmmm...!

You seem to have noticed that the knight was already under attack, but it's already too late.

"Icicle lance"

Ten ice spears floating around me circling to the side of the knight fly toward the knight who was staring at Mr. Phillip.

The knight will also cleverly use the spear to claw the spear without moving from the spot.

No, you can't move, not don't you?

The knight's feet are frozen on the ground with ice all the way to his ankles, frostbitten enough to seriously injure him if he is forced to move.

It was due to freezing in the cold air I generated by water magic at the time I jumped off the horse.

"Don't feel bad"

When you approach the knight while hiding in an ice spear, you snap his neck.

With my feet frozen and my body shaft immobilized, I could hardly seem to afford to notice my proximity by simply squinting at the attack from the side of my vision.

"Go!"

Throw another two metres of ice generated overhead toward Dalton's battling knight.

He was a knight who noticed the ice cubes thrown from behind and turned around, but he didn't have enough strength to deal with the three at the same time. He can't handle my attack and gets his head crushed by the ice cubes.

Looks like you're doing great today.

"I still want to take them down."

You can't be alarmed.

If you look a little further away, Mr. Kurt was defeating two knights.

An army more overwhelming than ours, but only four have now protruded. There may be a winning chance if we are sure to defeat them with more than four people in this way.

When I saw the army of enemies with such hope.

Tons of... magic, arguably a wave of fireballs, has been unleashed towards Krashel.
