124 Episode 124: "The First Elusion Defense Battle (on the Plains of the Kingdom of Liestia) (2)" (1/2)

”Everybody. Put on the horse” Body Enhancement ”Boosted. Pour all the rest of the magic into the Anti-Magic Shell!

The captain of the cavalry squad shouted.

The cavalry is wearing Replica Road. Has the ability to reduce Attack Magic damage.

But horses don't. So we have to protect it.

Fight, run, because you can't lose a horse right now.

”The enemy is a magician. You can't handle this assault. poke there.”

”'' Got it!

Soldiers respond to the captain's words.

They simultaneously 'strengthen' their horses to develop 'anti-magic barriers' around them.

Now we can take action against the enemy mage.

The problem is...

”That 'King of Spirits (Lord = of =) Ride (Phantom)' and how to fight it...”

The cavalry captain was trembling and staring at the 'King of Spirits Ride' with four arms.

”Ancient sorcery” does not pass into the original ”King's Ride (Road)”. Defense is also high with different digits. Besides, it's even equipped with a giant shield. It's nearly impossible to destroy that one.

The only hope is that that 'King's Ride' consumes a lot of magic.

Moreover, the enemy releases the Rays of Magic Eating once and for all.

That consumes a lot of magic. Then you shouldn't be able to move that long. As long as ”King of Spirits Ride” stops moving, it's easy to defeat the sorcerers.

Withdrawal - The cavalry captain drives away any thoughts that come to his mind.

You can't ignore those 'Spirit King rides' and the sorcerers here.

If they fly a telecom demon, it's all over. You will be surrounded by kingdom soldiers on your way home.

The Empire will not allow them to flee back after all those failures.

”Avoid fighting the 'King of Spirits Ride' as much as possible and defeat the sorcerers. This is the only way.”

”Captain. Can't you call that one (...)?

Unexpectedly, one of the soldiers raised his voice.

”If you can do something about this situation...”

”... I'll do what I didn't ask. Don't ever say that again.”

”Captain!”

”Terrible!! Though you also know that he will never forgive you for failing!!

The cavalry trembled at the voice of the cavalry captain.

”The Empire is a complete meritocracy. That's the kind of person who's embodying it. If we find out we've been discovered by our enemies... even our lives are obnoxious”

”... Captain”

”The Church of the Sanctuary is not the mainstream of the Empire. I gave that guy example armor (...) and asked him to allow this operation for the first time. Before the Kingdom's” Magic Guild ”reaches the fifth basement level, take the system… or destroy it.”

”... because that system is a threat to the Empire...”

”Exactly. Be ready when you know it.”

To the captain's voice, the cavalry put up a spear.

The purpose of the operation is to drain (or remove) the ”King of Spirits Ride”. Defeating the sorcerers behind it.

It's only then that we think about retreating.

”Start Operation”

”'' Ri, I got it!

”KIEEEEEEE!!

Together with the voices of the soldiers, Griffon shouts.

The giant is still in motion, even if it burns its wings and can no longer fly. A giant beast with eagle's mouth (beak), calf claws, and lion's torso is a strong ally for the cavalry.

”Let's go! Show our power to the people of the Kingdom of Leestia!!

”'' Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Shouting, the cavalry began its assault.

─ ─ Odette viewpoint ─

”... oh my god. When I was experimenting with” King of Spirits Riding ”in” Black Forest, ”I didn't know I'd run into the really mysterious cavalry...”

”That was unexpected. Zamel.”

To the trembling old mage Zamel, Odette answered, putting together ”The Spirit King's Ride”.

Of course, it's no coincidence the Odettes are here.

The kingdom has already obtained information about the intruders and has placed soldiers in the streets.

But only around this' black forest 'was the blank zone of the soldiers.

That's why Odette and the old Zamels decided to do a magic experiment here with vigilance.

Odette is in touch with Yuki and the 'Bat Corps'.

As the enemy cavalry arrived, it was easy to cover it up outside the woods.

(Truth is, I wish they hadn't come.)

Odette checks the state of the 'Spirit King's Ride'.

The first hit of the Magic Attenuation Ray (Vanishment) that extinguishes the opponent's magic power is huge.

That made four of the enemy's cavalry incapable of combat.

There are eight of us left. And that's Griffon who lost his wings. There are plenty of winning opportunities.

(But you don't have a platinum knight, Yuki said)

According to the information, there must have been a knight with platinum armor all over his body and armor on his horse.

But I'm not in the cavalry in front of me.

Are you acting alone, or are you running away?

(I've never crossed without a strong enemy. ”Magic Attenuation Rays” from ”King of Spirits Ride,” because there are two more shots you can shoot. Besides, the second time I use it, the magic runs out)

Even though it can be used, it doesn't mean Odette's magic is endless.

Moreover, this ”King of Spirits Ride” is also a shield that protects the sorcerers.

Odette stops' Replica Road 'where magic is hard to work' Spirit King's Ride '. In that gap, the sorcerers defeat Griffon, and then they all strike' Replica Road 'with attacking magic.

So, we should figure it out.

”... for God's sake, we have to stop the enemy here.”

Keep ”King of Spirits Ride” together, Odette comes forward.

”I'm sorry, Zamel, but can you cover for me? I'd like you to use magic as instructed, if possible.”

”Okay.”

Old Zamel nodded.

White beard, then flick the pure white robe, and declare.

”I'm going to cover the Sulai family's maid! Others slap the Griffon with their own attack magic! Don't let them get in our way!!

”” ”Wow, I get it!!

The Sorcerers of the Alliance answer together.

They are infiltrating the wingless Griffon with the usual offensive magic.

Flame magic burns Griffon's legs and deprives him of his mobility. That's all right - you thought so, Old Zamel talks to Odette about the ”King of Spirits Ride” all together, with a beard.

”The magician's way of fighting may change from now on.”

”Maybe. Ancient Sorcery is now used as a shield to prevent Ancient Sorcery.”

”In the future, it may become common for an avant-garde with a 'replica road' to prevent enemies and for a rear guard mage to use 'ancient magic'. Oh man... the time that had stopped for nearly 200 years seems to have finally flown”

”I'm … anxious to see what happens next.”

”What the Young Say”

”Zamel, once you get younger, you'll see our anxiety.”

”Play what you say. More importantly, you're a Slay lady. Do you have a chance?

”According to Yuki-Grossalia's demon, those cavalry men move fast and fly and jump.”

”Besides, when magic is hard to work”

”Yeah. But he had measures in place. Let me use that. And the example thing, do you bring it here?

”Oh. Before the experiment, a chamber of commerce (...) dedicated itself to the” Sorcery Guild ”?

Old Zamel shrugged his shoulder.

”A weapon for 'physical strengthening' magicians, so they produced it, but in the end, no one could use it. When your lord said he wanted to use it, it went awry.”

”You don't know what helps. You have to thank that Chamber of Commerce (...)”

After that, Odette told Old Zamel about the operation.

A few minutes after that.

The cavalry and the Odettes went into a state of engagement.

”'King of Spirits Ride' is slow to move. The time is narrow. Therefore, carry out a single strike exit attack!

”'Understood'”

The cavalry advances toward the 'Spirit King's Ride'.

Deal damage with the Assault Spear (Lance) as it is and leave.

It invites the ”King of Spirits Ride” to wear out (now), and if there is a gap, it strikes the sorcerers. That was their operation.

But...

Not...

There was a heavy noise, and I saw 'King of Spirits Ride' lift something from behind.

It was a long stick. longer than a person's height.

The tip is reinforced with metal.

It was made for ”King's Ride” - a strike rod (Mace).

”I beg your pardon!!

Oops!

The arm of ”King of Spirits Ride” looked stretched.

A horse who is supposed to have been out in time is blown away by a blow from the striking rod (Mace).

Horses roll with soldiers.

A moment late, another cavalry advances from the side of ”King of Spirits Ride”.

Poke out the assault spear (Lance) toward the torso of ”King of Spirits Ride”. In time, it was perfect with momentum.

”─ You must be a strong cavalry. You guys.”

In ”King of Spirits Ride,” Odette snapped.

This ”King's Ride” is magical moving armor. So I can move it just thinking about it.

A third and fourth arm on the back of the armor moves and sets up a shield.

And... I caught the cavalry's assault spear (Lance) lightly.

”This is a shield that Armed Auga used to prevent ancient magic. It's not that easy to break!!

”Then, monsters...!

”Rude! This would be the armor your people used originally!?

Odette breaks the horse's leg with a strike rod (mace).

Soldiers become the underlings of fallen horses. He seems to be alive, but he can't move.

”Two first. There are six of us left.”

The enemy cavalry has Odette - 'King of Spirits Ride' - on a far-flung roll.

Originally, they would want to bypass the 'King of Spirits Ride' and attack the Sorcerers of the Alliance.

But that's hard.

The attack range of the giant striking rod (Mace) in the hands of ”King of Spirits Ride” is quite wide.

If we bypass badly, we'll expose the defenseless side.

In addition, the magicians are fighting with the woods on their backs.

In the woods where trees thrive, cavalry cannot speed. Besides, it is possible that the trap is rigged. It's too dangerous for a cavalry to enter the woods.

On top of that, the giant griffon the mage is fighting is in the way.

Because of that giant, the cavalry cannot go to the magicians. You can't attack a sorcerer without avoiding ”King of Spirits Ride” and avoiding Griffon - quite a detour.

”You magicians of the kingdom, you shady hands!

”I'm not the one who thought about it!

Odette's ”King of Spirits Ride” waits for the cavalry with four arms spread out.

The strength of ”King of Spirits Ride” is ”Magic Attenuation Ray (Vanishment)” and Armored Defense. It's a surprisingly quick move and the power that the giant creates. Although it consumes magic, it can do more than a dozen times more than normal. That's why I let him beat the horse up and fly.

”─ ─ Lady of the Slay family. Is the magic still okay?

”Don't worry... I'd say it's pretty tough.”

”I'm sorry to have let you fight alone with the Lord. But soon, the other magicians...”

”Geaaaaaaaaaaa!

”” ”Whoa, whoa!

Behind me was a scream of demons and a cheer of magicians.

Looking back just for a moment, I saw a flame-covered griffon collapse.

The Sorcerers of the Alliance won.

”Now I hope the enemy cavalry escapes too...”

The prisoner got it. It also contains information about the enemy. There is no further advantage to engaging.

But...

”─ At least, if you don't reward me with one arrow, I don't have a face to match that one. Let's go!!

”” ”I understand!!

The rest of the cavalry came straight to Odette.

”Again, would you please run away”

”You must be aware of that. If we hold on to the uptime of” King of Spirits Ride, ”he says it's our own win.”

Old Zamel got a toothpick.

”No one can move this' King of Spirits Ride 'except the Lady of the Slay family. And if” King of Spirits Ride ”stops moving, it'll be harder to stop those cavalry men”

”... you fight in a nasty way”

Odette has teeth.

But we can't let them go to the king's capital.
