Mount Shibi is being breached by the enemy’s evil plan, but at the same time, the volunteer army led by Leon is facing hardship.
Monsters are also attacking the volunteer army.
The goblins and other troops attacked, and the gargoyles attacked by air.
The gargoyles had bombs, and when they were dropped in the center of the formation, the volunteer army was thrown into confusion.
Maxis’s troops took advantage of the chaos, forcing the volunteer army to retreat five kilometers at one point.
I intercepted the second wave of gargoyles from the sky with the magic of [Tornado] but was unable to ward off Maxis’ army that had gained momentum.
“I think we might be doomed.”
The volunteer soldiers were falling one by one. One by one, the volunteers fell, their leader, frankly, still eager to fight. Chloe’s brother, Vox.
“We’re just getting hit. It’s a work in progress. It is just not going to be perfect.” (Volks)
While lying, he cuts through the enemy with the sword in his right hand.
As he danced, he charged at his enemies, raising and lowering his sword with each swing, the spray of blood dancing in the air.
His younger sister, Chloe, also swings her pocket watch in defeat, twisting and turning the enemy army.
“A skillful brother and a powerful sister.”
Their efforts prevented a total collapse of the volunteer army.
After I managed to catch my breath, I reorganized our formation and formed a circle.
“The circle formation is a defensive formation. We should be able to hold out for a while.”
I declare it that way, the battlefield will change half an hour later.
Half an hour later, the battlefield changed: a group of horsemen with familiar flags attacked the flank of Maxis’ army.
They were the,
“Earth Division.”
They were an elite group created by the princess’s ally, Lieutenant General Ziggurat.
The core of them, the Knights of the Thorns, led the cavalry in a charge.
“I knew they would make it if they were well trained by Lieutenant General Ziggurat.”
As I said this, the image of Lieutenant General Ziggurat flashed through my mind.
The man should already be in heaven, but I hoped that he would be watching over us there. I wanted him to watch over the future of the strongest division he had left behind, and the future of this country.
With the entry of the Earth Division, the offense and defense were completely reversed.
As it is, the Earth Division will battle Maxis’s Soldiers.
We will bury the monsters.
Half a day later, countless bodies piled up on the battlefield.
We’ve succeeded in destroying the monsters.
After offering words of appreciation to my men who were shouting a battle cry of joy, I decided to respond to the princess and intercept Maxis’ army. This was in line with the original plan, but here the second act comes down.
Maxis, or rather, Expana, who manipulated him from behind the scenes, had prepared a third act.
The Volunteer Army and the Daichi Division joined forces and cut through Maxis’ army.
It was an ill-conceived plan, but on the battlefield, sometimes poor planning is better than good planning.
Now was the time.
The idea was completely correct, and the timing could not have been better for the Libra Division led by the Princess to join the attack.
Maxis’ army was a large one, fifty thousand strong, but it melted away in a flash.
Volks and Chloe took the lead, and the elite Knights of the Thorns of the Earth Division opened up a path.
The troops led by Victor assaulted them, and the magic troops led by Nine defeated the scattered enemy forces individually.
It was an ideal coordination.
The large army that should have numbered fifty thousand was quickly reduced to half.
Many of them were killed, but even more, left the battlefield.
Their morale was low, to begin with, but now that the victory had been overturned, none of them were willing to risk their lives to protect Maxis.
I headed straight for Maxis, accompanied by Volks and Chloe.
If I could just kill him, this war would be over.
It seemed that no one would be loyal to him even after death.
He was right, but there was someone else who thought the same thing as I did.
It was Expana, the leader of the Order of the End, who was on his side.
He stood in front of us and chanted a spell.
It was dark magic.
His body is enveloped in a dark fighting spirit.
I hit him with an enormous [Fireball] to get him off to a bad start, but the fireball dissipated right in front of him. It seems that his magical power is even “greater than mine”.
“It’s not fun, even though I’ve trained to death at that damn Magic Academy.”
“I learned magic to survive and I’m not going to be beaten by a bunch of school kids.” (Expana)
“I see, this is the elite versus the outcast?”
“In the story, the latter has the advantage.” (Expana)
“So, but this is reality.”
When I shouted that, I summoned a [Light Dragon] and tried to burn the opponent with a beam of concentrated light. To counter it, he casts the magic of [Dark Dragon].
This is how the battle to the death between Maxis’s Strategist and Sicily’s Strategist began.
Same time–.
Sicily was also preparing to defeat Maxis.
This war would end when she killed her brother.
Without the slightest hesitation, Sicily organized a team to defeat her brother and acted as its leader.
One of the members was Victor.
He is the hero who first became her subordinate, the Demon Lord who slew 30 demons.
It was a loss for the army to pull him out of the front line, but it was no problem as long as there was a greater return.
Of course, Nine was around.
“I have to do more because that huge person is missing.” (Nine)
But she decided to hear their complaints after the war.
After the formation of the strike force was completed, Sicily was about to go into battle when the queen appeared.
Cecilia, who was supposed to be waiting in the rear, had somehow arrived at the front with an escort.
She asks for a meeting with Sicily.
Victor put all his strength into the hilt of his greatsword and was wary, but Sicily was not.
“ho would be wary of meeting her step-mother?” (Sicily)
And they met her together.
As soon as Sicily saw Cecilia, he knew that she was not hostile.
On the contrary, he knew that she would cooperate fully. This was because Reinhardt was riding on the back of her escort.
A mother who cared for her son more than anything else had brought him to the front lines.
This was Cecilia’s determination, and proof that Reinhardt was capable of being a king.
Sicily thanked her for this and immediately placed Reinhardt in command of the Libra Division, leaving him in charge in her absence.
They gladly accepted the role, but before Sicily left, Cecilia spoke to her apologetically.
She paused a few times and then started to talk about Reinhardt’s birth, but Sicily interrupted her.
“No matter what the secret, that child is the King of this country and my brother.” (Sicily)
She said that.
At first, Cecilia wondered if Leon had told her the secret of Reinhardt’s birth, but Sicily shook her head. That chivalrous strategist would never do that.
But then, as she turned her face, the face of her dead best friend came to mind.
“Maybe Philia told you a secret…” (Cecilia)
Sicily smiles wryly.
“You know all about it, and you adore me as your step-mother? You love Reinhardt as if he were your own brother…?” (Cecilia)
Cecilia screams, but Sicily doesn’t answer.
The only thing she did was to imagine her mother’s face on Cecilia.
Cecilia hugged Sicily, tears streaming down her face as she says, “I’m sorry.”
She apologized from the bottom of her heart to the daughter of her dearest friend and vowed that she would follow and repay her kindness no matter what happened to her.
Sicily replied that she didn’t need such a vow, and went straight to the battlefield.
