85 Episode 84 The Role of Deet (1/2)

--Diet was in command of a cavalry unit not far from Ceylan's unit.

However, the troops he was leading were all old and powerful men of Rastinel, and he was relying heavily on his assistant, Galanga, so he wasn't really in command yet.

The location is on the left flank of the battlefield. He has been entrusted with the strange role of acting as a mediator between Ceylan's bodyguard and the flanking infantry units.

The main task is to hold the enemy infantry from getting around the flank or rear of the flank.

According to Galanga, they are like a buffer.

When the flanking line extends after Seiran, a gap is created between the flanking line and the Kingsguard led by Seiran. Therefore, to prevent the enemy soldiers from taking advantage of the gap, they placed themselves in a position of mobility.

Personally, I don't think we should have bothered with such things, but instead, we should have rushed into the gap between the enemy flanks and cut them down - when I told this to Galanga, he said, ”We don't have the strength to do that.

Indeed, we have many allies, but not enough men.

The majority of our troops are embedded in the main body of the Rastinel, and depending on the composition of the Nahdar troops, we may not be able to overtake them.

Besides, it is important that we carry out our mission without fail.

If you act on your own, you may not be called back for further battles.

As much as I would like to achieve tangible results, I can't help it if it's for the future of Rustinelle.

However, that is why I was able to watch Ceylan fight, albeit from a distance.

What was striking was the power and intensity of the magic that Ceylan used.

There was a roar.

Light strands gushed out.

A dazzling flash of light swept the area.

After the strong light and white smoke cleared, enemy soldiers who seemed to have been directly hit were lying on the ground, charred black.

It seemed to be far more intense than the magic that Arx had used before.

According to Galanga, that was the magic of the Crosselords.

Once used, it emits a dazzling flash of light that dazzles the eyes of those around it.

After it clears, all that remains is a charred corpse.

It is said that all enemies who stand in front of the Crosselord meet an equally fatal end.

It's impossible to dodge.

There's no way to protect them.

For this reason, there is still a strong rumor in Japan and abroad that anyone who is antagonized by the Crosselord will die.

It is said that the Crosselord is still taking it easy, which shows how exceptional he is.

While commanding his cavalry to move, he spills a few words to Galanga.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

You're in command, so leave the initial battle to us.

But, you know, just for a little while, right?　You know?

He'll only go on a rampage when the time is right. You'll have to be patient until then.

Galanga stubbornly refused to nod, even after repeated requests. As I listened to his words of admonition, I suddenly shifted my gaze to the side.

But the neighbor is doing it freely, right?

No, no, no, no. You can't refer to that. ......

What I'm looking at now is Noah Ingveen, one of Arx's followers.

It seems that he received instructions from Arx right after the war started and is now acting separately from them.

The only difference is that they are using magic to obstruct the enemy's progress. They froze a large area of the ground and then sprinkled water on it to make it slippery. If you accidentally step on the ice, you will inevitably fall down, and I have seen many soldiers hit their heads in such a manner.

If the front falls down, the back falls down.

If the back falls, the effect of the fall will spread to the entire group, just like a broken frame in a game of go.

Even if you are able to get in front of him, there is a beautiful swordsman in front of you who is constantly shooting ice blocks at you. The enemy soldiers are not happy because they will inevitably be killed by the ice blasts before they can reach him.

...... The cold air that drifts from the frozen ground is cool to us, but to the enemy it is an unfathomable chill that creeps up from the ground. I can't help but think that the enemy's trembling is a shiver of fear.

On the other hand, the person who is spreading the cold air is patrolling gracefully on the ice. In the manner of a well-mannered steward, he is bowing to the enemy soldiers and displaying a condescending attitude.

As he flicks the tip of his ice sword...

--What can I do for you?　You can come with me if you want.

He pulls a handkerchief out of his jacket pocket, as if wiping sweat from his face.

--Excuse me. I'll just wipe off some sweat.

He put his hand over his mouth as if he was witnessing a tragic scene.

--Oh, how painful it is to bump your head so hard .......

...... It was impressive that he was spitting out venom like that, as if he was dealing with Arx.

The fact that he is constantly provoking is probably an attempt to reduce the number of enemy troops and discourage them from fighting by inadvertently provoking them. The effect seemed to be positive, and the enemy soldiers in front of him became reluctant to fight.

While I was watching this scene, there was a movement in the Nadar army.

A unit with different equipment than the infantry was deployed in front of the Kingsguard led by Siran.

Looking at the equipment, it seems to be a unit of mages.

However, there was something strange about their movements.

”Galanga, that.

...... That's a pretty good move for a Nadar soldier.

As Garanga said in a mysterious way, the mage troops that just came out in front of the Kingsguard were moving strangely well. They were generally nimble and their every move was refined.

Their orderly and disciplined movements reminded me of the soldiers of the Empire.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

Under the command of the supervising mage, the mages used anti-magic and deployed a gray barrier.

It's a type of magic I've never seen before. Moreover, it seems to be quite thick.

The cavalry and mages of the Kingsguard attacked it, but their defenses were impenetrable.

”Can't you pierce it with the Flamrune?

This is not good. ......

It's not a good situation, as Galanga moaned. In the event that you have any kind of questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site. Some of the magic has a long range, so there was a possibility of being damaged.

Galanga, to the rescue.

No, sir, you're not to leave your post. You'll have to be patient here.

That said, if the general gets killed, ......

Did you notice that?

I'm not the one you want, you want me to send someone else.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

Yes, I'm in charge of the unit.

Just as you always send someone to fetch snacks and drinks, you should send someone to command them.

That's all there is to it.

It's not hard.

So, I found a few good cavalrymen and was about to send them to the flank of the enemy mage unit.

Suddenly, an Arx jumps out from among the guards.

Accompanying him was his squire Kazui and two of his bodyguards.

They were riding towards the front of the enemy mage unit, showing good riding skills for nobles living in the capital.

They were probably trying to defeat the enemy before they could shoot their magic. However, their move to take a position in front of the enemy despite the thick defense in front of them made me think of the word ”ineptitude”.

On top of that, several enemy cavalry moved forward to intercept them.

At worst, the enemy mage's spell could be completed before they could get through it.

There was still time for the enemy mage to synchronize his magic, but...

Arx moved.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them in the market. As if to attach the magic circle to his right arm, Arx inserted his hand between the rings, and the magic circle became fixed in that state, and then began to rotate in opposite directions.

The rotation is fast.

A high-pitched squeal sounded.

Through the gaps in the rotation, sparks scattered like weeping willows.

The angry shouts of the soldiers were drowned out by Arx's magic.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do!

That's probably what ...... sounded like.

It's a sound that can't be described in any one way.

It was the sound of many horseshoes.

Maybe it was the sound of chestnuts popping.

Is it the sound of raging waterfalls?

Immediately after the numbing heat in the back of my ears, countless fist-sized black debris shot out from Arx's arms and rained down on everyone in range.

The speed of the shots was much faster than a crossbow.

It was as if they were meteors falling through the sky in the blink of an eye.
