Chapter 34 (1/2)
CHAPTER 34 – COMPULSORY ARMY ORDER: OLD DRAGON SUBJUGATION
The author uses “zokusei ryuu” when talking about the species of Grade Grande which could be translated as “dragon attribute” It doesn’t make much sense in my eyes unless it would be some other kind of race/species which possesses that attribute while not being a dragon itself I am not quite sure whether this is the case here but I don’t think so, thus I will just call the thing “dragon”
Burkart calls Wendelin “bozou” which is a rough way to call so calls him “shounen” which means boy as well I have translated bozou to boy in the previous chapters, so I will use “lad” for Ar him boy to make the difference apparent
“…”
“…”
“Ooh! This boy is Alfred’s disciple, the yuusha-dono who subjugated the ancient corpse dragon, huh?! I see, he doesn’t possess the carelessness one would assu)
“(Ano, Burkhart-san?)” (Wendelin)
“(As usual, a sultry guy)” (Burkhart)
“(He is an iht?)” (Wendelin)
“(Ah, he is the kingdom’s head wizard)” (Burkhart)
The next day after everyone went shopping in the shopping streets, I was suddenly visited by a e of several knights They pushed ht away to the ararrison in the suburbs of the royal capital
Although it gave of the feeling of so, it wasn’t quite the case since the knights were holding onto a decree by His Majesty
At any rate, even though I wasn’t certain whether I was really loyal to His Majesty or not, it still redom
The garrison I was brought to, was apparently the place where the troops stationed in the capital always did their training
Siuard the area, and a large tent
Really, it was a structure of an ararrison as you’d expect from the style of a fantasy world
It was regularly serviced by the ared by the recent tendency of disarmament which was quite unexpected
Most likely it was so nobles eren’t able to find any other work
However, because they would end up receiving a label of si, apparently the training was constantly strict and severe As it would be unreasonable for the entire arh, the troops stationed in the royal capital established a function of alternating between their divisions to use the outskirts for perfor maneuver exercises outdoors
The carriage I was stuffed into arrived in front of a log cabin within the garrison
When I entered it, after being urged on by the guard standing at the entrance, I i inside
Furthermore there was another person next to hiht of 2 meters
Moreover, this ossan…
Despite being a lugering large unrefined wand in his hand
In other words, rather than calling hiician
Other than being able to use ic as well, he seemed to be the type who likewise could easily beat his opponent to death with that wand
Fortunately it was affirician
Furtherdom’s head wizard earlier with certainty
Due to the sudden appearance of suchstruck speechless
It was mostly because that person was the exact opposite of my master
“(The kingdom’s head wizard, Burkhart-san?)” (Wendelin)
“(As for that…)” (Burkhart)
What’s the difference between a ician and wizard?
After questioning in such way, apparently it was nohim
However, both things possessed a huge difference
Wizards were chosen adom, they were the ultimate elite
Considering the person hinificance of serving the court, it was quite a ridiculous story Nevertheless, from the viewpoint of the society a wizard was no less than a person with a very high social standing
Even though the kingdoly high social standing, one could think of a wizard being a cut above them
Besides, it wasn’t particularly necessary for a wizard to be a noble either
No matter how much one was a noble, if they didn’t possess the essential ical talent, they wouldn’t become one at any rate anyway
Therefore it was obvious that society looked upon them with eyes of reverence
To top it off, the ossan in front of dom’s head wizard
This a to jeer at
Going by his appearance he was a beefy h
“Are you by chance nervous? If that’s the case, it’s not really necessary After all, you will fight alongside )
“Fight?” (Wendelin)
“That’s right In order for the kingdom to prosper even further, ill liberate the Palkenia Grasslands fro ti)
Grade Grande at the Palkenia Grasslands
It was a sorrowful situation I had just heard about from Erich-nii-san yesterday And now I finally understood ere summoned
However, to call ht to be foul play
Why? Because I ae of 12 years
For minors it was not allowed to enter the domain where monsters dwelt
That was reason e trained in the prep school by hunting ordinary prey everyday
“Ano~ I ae pupil…” (Wendelin)
Intending to use the reason of underage, I tried to refuse the participation in subjugating the Grade Grande
In the first place it couldn’t be helped that I had to fight the ancient dragon as I was forced to protect the ic airshi+p I had boarded in order to protect myself in the end
It was nothing else but legitiency measurement
Any kind of reasoning is fine, because that wasyet another dragon after such a short while
Who would be fond of being suon next?
At the very least, I am not such a masochist
“Those worries are totally unnecessary!” (Ar)
“Ano… What do you mean by that?” (Wendelin)
The e was of no concern at all
“It is indeed against the rules for a ! But! Since the lad is a noble, it’s absolutely fine!” (Ar, but could be called Headstrong! :p)
“Ah, that’s what this is about, huh…” (Burkhart)
It seeside as well, had some kind of an idea
For noan expression of 『What a pity』
“Lad, you are the head of the associate Baron Baued noble, it has never happened before that a decree for a can by His Majesty wasn’t followed! This time time His Majesty ordered the ate the Grade Grande!” (Ar)
“…” (Wendelin)
Theabout, apparently was an affair of utdom’s nobles
For o, it was a bolt out of the blue
“Give it up By my lord I was ordered to to follow the army decree as well1 ” (Burkhart)
Burkhart-san is quite pitiable as well it would appear as he was ordered to follow the decree by Breithilde’s rave and thus has no way to decline the participation in the subjugation of the Grade Grande
“Burkhart-san seems to unexpectedly have no luck either” (Wendelin)
“Boy, your predisposition of attracting misfortune appears to have infected me” (Burkhart)
“What are you talking about? Don’t gosuch jokes…” (Wendelin)
“Half of it is serious though” (Burkhart)
“…” (Wendelin)
Co all means to escape the situation, I aether with Burkhart-san
I don’t think it is wrong to wish and hope for someone to switch places with me, is it?
“Fuhahahahaha! As usual the scale is huge!” (Ar)
“Huge…” (Wendelin)
“The ancient dragon wasn’t s” (Burkhart)
One week after the fateful -doushi+ andin the skies over the plains of the central part of the Palkenia Grasslands using Flight ic
The strategy this time was to attack with one sixth of the troops stationed in the capital of the kingdo the necessary supplies to the garrison in the suburbs of the royal capital in preparation, the troops were encamped close by to the domain
As for this, because the are ae-scale battle, the strategy was for them to wait at the entrance to the domain until Grade Grande was defeated
Apart froe at all once the Grade Grande was defeated, it still re thened at the top of the food chain, it apparently likewise instilled such a fear into the other monsters that they weren’t able to move about freely either
Therefore, if Grade Grande died and thus was roup, it would become possible for the army to safely crush each and every monster afterwards
Even though it would be ie at all, it was obviously still far better than during the ti as ever
And, in contrast to a forest area, a mountainous district and such, these plains were potentially rading the monsters in the Palkenia Grasslands to a matter of relatively weak resistance
Hunting as a sroup of adventurers here, it can be called as as a spot for beginners in comparison to other domains
“Now then, let’s not waste any seconds and perfor)
Already looking down on the shape of the Grade Grande while using Flightdown on him at all
With a roar to the degree of alreeted us with a severe threatening
“Doushi+?” (Burkhart)
“Well then, I suppose this is the start! All that re)
In the end the strategy was for only three people to defeat Grade Grande, in other words the contents of the strategy weren’t overly complex
Against such an iies were useless any way
In the first place, besides the stationed troops from the capital there as an unit of approximately 2’000 adventurer uild’s headquarters stationed outside the domain But they wouldn’t absolutely participate in the battle with the dragon as unskillful participation would just pointlessly increase the count of victims
Receiving a dragon’s breath from the front, it would spell instant death for most people
Therefore, people eren’t able to prepare for several such breaths would just pointlessly increase the corpse count if they participated
Thus it was arranged that the few of us would challenge Grade Grande to a fight as elite assassins
As an after effect, the poor group of Erwin, in their duty as my retainers, participated in the asseate the monsters as the associate Baron Baumeister household’s armed forces
As for the reason, it was apparently due to the peculiar complicated circumstances of nobles
During the sortie preparations in the garrison, Erich-nii-san visited clai that the sortie of the associate Baron Bau to be allowed to provide the necessary funds for that
Afterwards, given that Erich-nii-san was likewise participating holding both roles of being second-in-co a staff officer, I was at ease entrusting hiree of 100 platinum plates
If it’s Erich-nii-san, he wouldn’t try soiven
“Lad, you will focus solely on saving mana for the Cutter Tornado (T/N: >> Katta Torunedo <)! burkart-dono,=”” you=”” will=”” take=”” care=”” of=”” supplying=”” mana=”” at=”” all=”” times!”=””>
“Roger that!” (Wendelin)
“Leave it to me” (Burkhart)
As it had released such fierce attack, there was no other choice but to on now
The strategy plan was that I would at all tiht ic from the wind system, Cutter Tornado, at it
As a ic in this world is really quite auous
A uess the a the phenomenon naturally materialize it Because this was already the case several tens thousand of years ago during the era of the ancient ic civilization, the ancestors of the past have devised ic formula2 and noted the from that time
For exaic froicians ouldn’t be able to think up a Fire Ball (T/N: >> Faiya Boru <>
Furthers as Fire Arrow, Fire Wall and Fire Snake
Those possessing reat nuhtly in their description A ic as reference which is the easiest for him to obtain and use
At the tiic, there are people who don’t chant, there are people who use only the spell’s na like a spell for short sentences in a semi-poetic manner
And there are even more dreadful people who perform a flashy dance and strike poses (Ed: Sounds like Wend has experience in his dark past…)
The point is, the ic is entirely up to me
By the way, I aroup
Previously there was so flashy poses and thought up chuunibyou-like wordings for the spell incantation i what he has seen before But because of the power of e, he now doesn’t use these anymore
Souidance and burn the opponent to cinders: Crimson Flame~』 Well I am still only 12 years old, but the record of that itself would deem me as a splendid chuunibyou patient
『Being chant-less is the best Without wording out the spell, the opponent won’t be able to perceive what kind of spell is going to be used』 (Alfred)
『Saying such eic will drop!』 (Burkhart)
Because I met master and Burkhart, it was the correct choice to become their disciple
We all belong to the so-called faction of chant-less
Except that I don’t knohether such a faction actually really exists
Returning to the situation at hand, this tiinates froon with an earth attribute
The ic in this world has the basic four standard systems Fire, Water, Earth and Wind In addition to that there is Holy, which can only very few people can use There is also Darkness, now treated as a legend, which was used by demons (mazoku)
Excluding the unique systems, the standard four syste and weak attributes To put it bluntly, the relation between them is like Janken (T/N: Rock-Paper-Scissors)
Fire is weak to Water, Water is weak to Earth, Earth is weak to Wind, and Wind is weak to Fire
Because Grade Grande is a dragon with the using the earth systeh power of the wind systeic class spell Cutter Tornado
Or to be precise, it was Ary
『Just speaking of ic capacity the lad already surpasses ic capacity is even a little bit more than Alfred’s was Thus, we shall entrust the finishi+ng blow to the lad』 (Ar)
Before the military operation started, I was told the contents of the strategy by Ar-doushi+ at the field where the troops were encamped
『Lad, you will be using the highest class of wind o』 (Ar)
『That’s the appropriate way considering the intense Holy Light the boy used to perish the undead ancient dragon There are plenty of chances to win this』 (Burkhart)
『I a)
Burkhart-san approved the strategy laid out by Ar-doushi+
『Still, preparing that spell completely will take time』
If it was poorly constructed, it wouldn’t be able to finish off the opponent which would be like putting the cart before the horse
I declared that I would need at the very least a span of time of 2 minutes
Considering the case of storing mana, it definitely was easier to accuic airshi+p the last time
『A span of 2 minutes, huh?』
