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 fucking swaying and swaying. I activate about 4 Sun Of Erosion 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”
“Eeh? Ah, ye, yes……eeeh?”
Liscia who joyfully jumps down from the window when I give my permission. As expected, Mars still isn’t able to do something like that so I left him to Melda.
I follow after Liscia and jump out as well. I activate several spheres in the air, change them into footholds, and look at the battlefield. As for Liscia who jumped out first
“Haahaahaa! Let’s do this! Second Sword・Smashing Sword of Rock Iron!”
Liscia who gripped an ashen sword that is short to be called a sword and carries a roundness at the tip, uses the momentum from the drop and swings her sword downwards. Not in order to slash, but in order to strike.
“Hah!”
Liscia struck the sword onto the ground at the same time as when she landed on the ground and the ground around where she stood protruded sharply. The soldiers lost their balance because of the ground that suddenly bulged from below and they were skewered without being able to avoid it.
Liscia then runs into the enemy line. I guess there are few who can stop the current her. Alright, I can’t be losing to her either.
I descend towards the ground as well. I increase the number of spheres that are flying around to about 10, change 2 into scythes, 3 into disk-shape footholds, and the remaining 5 into short swords. I release the short swords towards a soldier who noticed me.
The soldier tries to block with his sword but it easily penetrates the sword and stabs towards the soldier’s head. It carries on as it is to penetrate his body and fly towards a nearby soldier. The soldiers who get into a panic from the sudden attack.
I who descended to the ground in the meantime, change the disk-shape that I had been using as footholds into short swords and face it to the soldiers.
“Wh, what is with you!?”
“He, he descended from the sky!?”
I ignore the soldiers who raise confused voices one after another and swing my scythe. I just swing horizontally, that’s all. Just that and the soldiers’ bodies disappointingly split into halves.
I then pour magic power, combine the corpses, and make Opus Killers. The Empire soldiers panic at the Opus Killers that suddenly appeared……or not, they were shot down one after another before that even happened.
Arrows that were even being shot at me. The short swords move and block it and I’m being shot from quite some distance away. By the time I realised, all the Opus Killers that I created have been shot down and it’s even shooting at me without rest.
However, it seems to be someone quite skilled. It aims for me without hitting anybody else even though there are these many ally soldiers. I’m a little interested but……it’s irritating.
I have 4 short swords on defence and another 4 on the attack on the soldiers around. I head towards the direction where the arrows are flying over without rest but the impact gets stronger as I get closer.
After continuing that for a while, I finally got to a position close enough that the person comes into sight, and the one who was shooting the arrows was a woman. There are several soldiers who carried quivers standing around her. That’s why the arrows didn’t stop huh.
Interesting. Why don’t we have a match to see whether I’ll be shot down first or whether I’ll get close to you and cut you down first.
