“What!? Did you say he isn’t here!?”
My angry voice resounded in the 2nd throne room.
The soldiers were surprised.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
“Excuse me. SInce when is he gone?”
“It’s nothing. Apparently the maid has seen him in the backyard around evening but after that we don’t know.”
“Is that so…”
“Did he escape from the imminent war?”
I shook my head at the soldier’s words.
No, that’s not it.
He said he wanted to go in the front-lines.
I put him in the rear as a suitable healer.
No, even if he doesn’t listen and do things like a daredevil it doesn’t matter since he won’t escape the war itself.
Then in that case, it can only mean one thing.
“It wasn’t just the Baron Golem that infiltrated us.”
“Wha!? If that’s so, then Miyamoto is…”
“It’s not impossible.”
“We should immediately sent a party…”
“No.”
I shook my head.
“There’s no time. Do you understand that? The war is starting. We can’t be concerned about just one soldier now.”
“But, his holy sword’s ability of continuing the battle for all our soldiers should be an important strategy.”
I see, you have a head on your shoulders.
But, I’m the man who’ll always disperse risk.
“Is there no other with the skill to wield holy swords?”
“Yeah, it should be like that. It’s a skill that hasn’t appeared for several hundred years. For someone to use holy swords other than Miyamoto…”
The soldier looked at me and let out a foolish voice.
“Did you understand?”
“Absurd…”
Nothing is absurd.
“Except me there’s nobody else.”
“As I thought! But, you have to command the whole army. Is it possible to command the army while invoking the holy sword’s ability?”
“If I’m not able to do it then the country will simply be ruined. For me the orphanage will be ruined, should be more correctly put…”
“I see, then it would’ve been better if Miyamoto was here. Since the duty will fall to the King. Commanding the war and using the holy sword… It’s a huge toil.”
“No, it’s not that. You’re misunderstanding.”
“Ha?”
The soldier let out a foolish voice.
“It’s not like a huge problem if I command the war and release the sword’s power at the same time. It’s just that both of my hands being free would’ve been much better is what I thought.”
“Ha? Then if the King himself fighting isn’t then what…?”
I smiled vaguely to that question.
Sigh, why do you think the girls have been working constantly.
While we were having this conversation a messenger came.
“Battalion 1 is engaging the enemy! The battle is starting!”
“This is the end for this dialogue. From now on our brain and courage shall be tested instead of our mouths.”
“Ha, haha!”
“Was the projection prepared?”
“Yes, the information from the distant soldiers is projected and you can do it on the walls!”
“All right. The communication system is perfect.”
“The voice of the distant soldiers is here. The King’s words are transmitted to the other side as they are.”
“I understand.”
The soldiers were running on the big screen projected on the wall.
It could be said it’s a television from ancient times.
The 1st battalion is gathered in the Gaius fort which is in the north.
The projection on the wall is superb.
Because, the army of the dead which was filled the earth was approaching the Gaius fortress.
I feel like the tension of the classmates from the 1st battalion has been transmitted.
“So that is the army of the dead…”
“They’re going against so many…”
“There are several hundred thousands. Even if the power of King Masatsugu has increased our power by 1000 times, can we really win?”
I was hearing such voices.
Sigh, should I be glad that I heard your honest thoughts?
“Do you lot have bad eyes? Look carefully.”
I said that and pointed at the scene.
1st Battalion North Warms Gaius Fortress
Dogoooooooon.
In front of our eyes even if it cannot be said that one million fills the earth though they are reaching several hundred thousands.
It’s a ruined army spreading around death.
The army marching to Warm’s Kingdom was just enough to produce despair in the people of Warm’s.
Skeletons, Zombies, Goblins, Lizardmen, Basilisks.
All of them were decaying and leaking liquids from outside of their flesh.
No matter how you think about it humans are frail living beings that can’t put aside ghastly things, and then there’s the number.
Anyhow, they are covering the ground.
Numbers is power.
Power is numbers.
I understood that on the first day I was called here and trained with the soldiers.
Hence, this battle won’t be a match.
I understood that.
It’s one million versus ten thousand.
100 times stronger can’t be overturned.
Above all, the other side is strong.
The actual difference is probably much more.
That’s why there were a lot of classmates that calculated when they would leave.
Moresoever, who would’ve imagined this scene in front of them.
Dogoooooooooon.
Once again the fortress made out of huge rocks shook.
With that sound coming together there was earth, soil, sand, and then monster’s right arm, head, eyeballs, half of the body, and it’s messy flesh.
There’s nothing more grotesque than that, but you get used to it at the start of the battle.
Large fireworks are convenient for masking fear.
That’s right.
In battalion 1 there are 10 classmates deployed.
In them there are 9 guys that can use nothing but support magic.
The remaining member is a girl.
But, she’s a fallen sorceress that can use only 1 type of magic.
Just one explosion.
A sorceress that can use nothing but one explosion at maximum. She is Hanasaka Sakie.
A skill that after using it collapses you from shortage of MP it’s a baggage skill and she was mocked by those around her for it.
But, now?
“This is amazing~ I can shoot it as much I like~ Uhya, this is exhilarating!”
Due to Katsuragi’s skill of supplying MP infinitely she was firing off her great magic one after another on the monsters beneath them.
“Hanasaka, don’t just fire off one after another carelessly!”
“The support magic won’t be on time!”
Complaints came from the surrounding guys. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m
The 9 guys were specialized in support magic.
They were supporting her by adding special damage, attack increase and shortening the cool timer.
The monsters were scattering all over the place.
Of the several hundred thousands monsters there were already 10, 000 scorched and 10 times more injured monsters.
That’s only natural.
The magic explosion that can be said is of God is used as much as one likes.
Now in the moment
“Cool timer ended. Bestow the magical power synergy.”
“It’s already completed. Apart from that quickly add the range expanding skill.”
“Finished it.”
“Everyone is finished! Thanks to this routine we are the strongest!”
“That might be over-confidence. Isn’t all thanks to Masatsugu-chi?”
“King you mean, King.”
With a grinning expression she corrects the bestacle guy and starts chanting her spell.
“Maesteria that overturns the boring world! Human life like acrobatics is in constant flux and therefore it needs to become a harvest! The all-seeing god of birth! It’s time to clean up the old world and start a new one! Megiddo Flame!”
“Incredible, chant.”
“It’s an original. The magic is better if you put in words the scene you imagine.”
“Hee…”
“It looks like villainish to me…”
The boys drawn back and watched Hanasaka release her explosions carefully.
Like this once again thousands monster flew off and the terrain was changing.
The soldiers charged in after she was finished.
They were fighting as if they were sweeping the battle.
