Chapter 60 (1/2)
War Intervention
“……This is terrible……mmph!”
“……Don't vomit inside, Mars”
As I slowly approach the battlefield, I'm able to differentiate the colours that are on the ground that, until just now, I could see nothing but black dots moving around thanks to the fact that I've gotten quite close. And at the same time, the stench of blood that wafts over. Mars who was done in by both of that is currently making a nauseated face.
Well, I guess it's inevitable until he's used to it. I got used to it by my own blood though.
Nevertheless, I don't know if I should say that it's just as I expected or what I should say, the Demihuman Country's troops are being pushed back. As for their numbers, there are about 20 thousand Empire soldiers. Roughly 4 thousand for the Demihuman Country.
There are a lot of Dwarves as vanguards and Elves as rearguards for the Demihuman Country. I heard about it on the way here and, as I thought, it's probably because the population ratio for Dwarves and Elves are higher. After all, that's also apparently the reason that an Elf is serving as the Demihuman Country's ruler.
However, it seems the Empire is also taking into consideration the countermeasures to use in a war against the Demihuman Country so they are using Magic Tools that suppress the potency of magic. Because of that, the magic that the Elves are good at doesn't really have much of an effect, and when they are up against the Dwarves who boast of their strength, they're stabbing with their spears from a distance. It's quite a nasty scene.
“Oh, they noticed us”
The Empire soldiers who noticed the Wyvern flying in the sky cast magic over here one after another. Although the Wyvern somehow avoided the magic, it's all quite close. Moreover, it's swaying terribly.
……Annoying. It's f.u.c.king swaying and swaying. I activate about 4 Sun Of ErosionElipse Sol around the Wyvern. They react to the magic that comes flying over and move.
Alright, the Wyvern has also started flying stably. The Wyvern whose flying has stabilised flies as it is towards the rear of the Demihuman Country troops. On the way there, I throw from the window a Magic Tool that Chrono created to the ground. It's the Teleportation Magic Tool that we used when we attacked the Mestoa Kingdom previously.
Although there were a couple of the Empire soldiers who were surprised by the rock that suddenly fell from the sky, they died before letting out their voices. Trodden by the Opus Killers that teleported over.
“ooooOOOO!”
Their number is about 200. The movements of the nearby Empire soldiers dulled because of the grotesque monsters that suddenly appeared amongst their files. In the meantime, they are being smashed by the gigantic arms one after another.
“……Th, those are?”
“My underlings so you don't have to worry about it. I've made it so that they only target Empire soldiers”
It's not just the Empire soldiers who were surprised by the Opus Killers that suddenly appeared, Melda and the others who were seeing it for the first time were also surprised. Although she's still making a worried look despite hearing my words, she moves the Wyvern forward as it is.
“Hey, Master! Can I go as well? Can I?”
Liscia who's sparkly and excited asks me while pointing at the battlefield. Uーn……why not. It's not like she has to listen to orders for every single thing anyway.
“Alright then, I guess we'll go for a bit. Melda, I'll leave Mars to you”
