Chapter 65 – Meaninglessly long confrontation of armies

Jump to next part!

“O~~~hoho! I’el who is called the best of the West I challenge you ic!” (Katharina)

Earlyof the next day after we accepted Klaus’ plan, just right at the halfway point between the two ar loudly

It was the start of the strategy to cause da to Klaus’ suggestion

Though I call it like that, it’s not such a coy either

The one-on-one battles between fellow young knights will soon run out of personnel to be used for those So this tiic

“Katharina looks happy”

“It’s a chance to gain fame after all”

She succeeded in the revival of the Waigel household, but she is likely looking at the future prospects

By doing one-on-one fights with ic, she tried to obtain military exploits and income by herself

A dispute of this scale is rare Gaining military exploits in this kind of place is connected to the honour of a noble

Even if it’s a woman, there’s no difference in that matter

No, in fact there is, but since she herself is a ician, who are exceptions as they are few in nuician as opponent

This was a loophole that used the fact that the nuicians is few

However, it’s also wrong to forget the irrational aspect that in the case the feician isn’t a noble, she won’t be able to become a noble and can only receive honour and money

There are big restrictions for woman to move up in society in this country after all

“The ransoht?”

“It seems so”

The a of the caught party

And there is another criterion For aone, the amount of ransom rises sharply

Klaus plan, siician of Browig’s camp

“Isn’t it possible that the other side won’t come out?” (Ina)

Ina’s concern was reasonable, but the wicked part of this plan was that we actually wouldn’t even

“The good aspect of a dispute like this is that it will be a great disgrace if no one appears once being challenged to a duel by the other side” (Klaus)

Although being nobles, they didn’t reply to the challenge of their opponents

For what reason are they preparing troops regularly then? It sees

“But, you know As there are no absolutes in such situations, isn’t it possible that a er than Katharina, appears?”

“I can’t fully deny that, but for the tiht, I think” (Klaus)

Burkhart-san said so before, but currently the East is lacking excellent icians

“Therefore there shouldn’t be a ician who could threaten Katharina”, Klaus explained

“That’s right The good part is that the e household are at interician from outside, information about that s

hould have reached master If she doesn’t make quite a blunder, Katharina-jou-chan won’t loose” (Burkhart)

Burkhart-san seems to have the same opinion as Klaus

For an interainst one of advanced level they have to skilfully hit the weak points or bet on a surprise attack for example, but that’s difficult if it isn’t a veteran who accumulated plenty of battle experience

Moreover, those kind of strategies hts with a 『Ni~ce bam!』 like this time

The way of casting lots of sily predominant

“I shall take you up on that duel! I’ household Bianko Rocker, the 『Squall』” (Bianko)

A single ’s cae

His age is around 40 years, I guess?

The robed ainst Katharina while preparing his wand

“Huh?”

“What’s wrong, Earl-sama?”

“That person, with such a terrible…”

Saying it like this ht be rude, but coician, he felt remarkably inferior in ability

“That place is co with numbers after all”

Since there hasn’t appeared any excellenthousehold has failed at hiring aan advanced level of mana

Accordingly it’s nothe person, who can skilfully lead the others, or the one icians as temporary head

“Meaning he wasn’t appointed as headability like Burkhart-sama?” (Elise)

“That’s how it is” (Burkhart)

Elise asks while handing tea to Burkhart-san and he anshile taking a sip of the tea

The confrontation of both arhts, is basically a battle with plenty of free time

Therefore, besides us, all of our allied nobles are drinking tea, eating the sweets on the tables and are watching the situation while sitting in the chairs at their own encampments

Currently the ti of ould be called asnack on earth

“Can that ainst Katharina?” (Erwin)

“No, he can’t”

“If that’s the case, why has he come out?” (Erwin)

From Erw’s viewpoint, he apparently can’t understand hy the head ician accepted the duel if he can’t win

However, I believe it’s only natural for him to make an appearance if seen from the viewpoint of a noble

Putting aside the outco to the request for a duel by the opponent will be ’s camp

“Coular duel!” (Bianko)

After both of them introduced theins

『Squall』 takes the initiative, produces two tornadoes with ic from both his arms and releases them at Katharina

The part of creating two tornado spells at the saician, I thought

“However… With Katharina as opponent, that level of wind ic is…”

Katharina iates the tornadoes released at her by 『Squall』

“There’s still much more to come!”

Next 『Squall』 continues to release tornadoes with both arms, but all of them are repelled by the tornado Katharina has deployed around her

“I guess you saw it In such duels only the power of the spell and the amount of mana decides the outcome”

“Only, you say?”

“Right Other factors don’t play a role!”

In the end 『Squall』, who used up his ives up This duel has finished

He surrendered and gave his wand to Katharina

“Likewise, I’ household I challenge you to a regular duel!” (Roy)

Next Katharina begins to fight with a 30-years old ician who can be considered to be of intermediate level and calls himself 『Flame Whip』

He used flame whips in both hands, as expected, and started to attack Katharina by swinging them alternately

The flas

Once Katharina defends against a hit froht behind her comes at the same time

Next, if she defends against attacks from her blind spot, the flaht away

『Flame Whip』 has properly researched and trained this spell and has made it his own

“But, well…”

“Eeh! Isn’t he a?”

“『Flahts in these conditions”

As a matter of fact, those skilful attacks, which used continuous hits and feints with the flame whips, were completely warded off by the water wall Katharina has cast

No h the water wall They were just fruitlessly raising water vapour with an evaporation sound of 『sizzling』

“The est attribute as it wasOn the other hand Katharina-jou-chan belongs to the category of being bad at the water attribute” (Burkhart)

Nevertheless Katharina’s water attribute is superior in regards to its power

This is the wall between intermediate and advanced level that can’t be exceeded at all

“He isn’t that different in strength to 『Squall』 fro household keeps eicians”

After a fewsurrounded by a water wall deployed by Katharina as counter-attack and surrendered after throwing his wand away

“Did you see my ability?” (Katharina)

Katharina returns together with the twohousehold who beca a proud expression

Next other ht

There were still several e household or the Breithilde household

Usually it’s prohibited as it’s pointless to uselike duels, but in such time of war it’s allowed as an exception

Because they are able to obtain honour and rewards if they win, there wereto duels as it’s only allowed in such place

“You didn’t have any troubles” (Luise)

“Luise-san, itforward to troubles, but for me that intolerable…” (Katharina)

“How to call it? It wasn’t dangerous at all” (Luise)

“It’s that kind of duel after all” (Katharina)

Luise begins to talk with Katharina, who ca her some tea

“In co if you are suddenly hit in a weak point, even as advanced level, but…”

Since one fights after a signal facing the opponent from the front in this kind of foric poinning most of the times

Rather you could even say that Katharina’s victories were inevitable

“Taking by surprise is a good move” (Ina)

“In actual cohts where you wager your honour”

If you did soht, it would result in you being treated as coward or similar

“Since that’s the case, I would rather not suffer that”, Katharina explained to Ina

“Hey, won’t Burkhart-san and Wend go for it?”

“I will pass” (Burkhart)

Burkhart-san is the head of the erave Breithilde household

Seeing that the current Browig household doesn’t have a ainst hie to hold duels to those below

“In the first place, what’s the point ofin this now?” (Burkhart)

If it’s achievements and honour, Burkhart-san has already obtained plenty of those

As there’s no reason to especially fight against icians who are of interet hated if he considered stealing the chances of the people below him

“It’s the same for Wend as well, huh…?”

My achieveht nobles, main retainers and soldiers of more than 40 household in this time’s battle

It’s to the extent that I have been told 『It’s fine for you to rest now』 by Breithilde

“What about doushi+?” (Erwin)

“There’s no way he will coht?” (Wendelin)

It will becoician appears at a dispute between nobles of the East and South

Despite that, I can fully understand Erw’s question

If it’s that person, I couldn’t deny the possibility of hi to participate in the duels since it seems to be fun

“Besides, the Browig household’s side will cry”
