Half a month later.
Outside the towering walls of Eulalie was a vast plain.
At the edge of the plain, there were continuous hills and forests.
The army of the Kingdom of Laquia brought by Ares was stationed here.
On the endless, continuous barracks, flags were fluttering, and horses were neighing.
On a hillside outside the barracks, Kalis stood respectfully in front of Ares and Eight-cloud Ink and reported the battle plan that he and his subordinates worked out.
"… Please make your decision!"
With his head down, although he was curious about the beautiful black-robed "girl" standing next to Ares, Kalis still did not dare to look at her.
"How is it?"
Ares did not have much of an opinion on the battle plan that Kalis had reported to him.
He had great power, but he was not good at this kind of matter that required wisdom to make decisions, so in similar situations in the past, it was just a formality.
This time, after Kalis finished reporting, Ares asked Eight-cloud Ink out of respect.
"Well …"
With a slight frown, Eight-cloud Ink looked up at the vast plain below and the faintly visible walls of Eulalie on the horizon.
"… Conventionally, it is a very good tactic. But it is obviously not appropriate here. "
"Oh? Do you have any better ideas, Yagun? "
Ares asked curiously.
"Ares, you ignored one point. There are too few high-level adventurers in your army. There are very few Lv.5, but there are many such strong adventurers on Eulalie's side."
"For people like that, the number of low-level soldiers is useless."
"Ah … I know what you said."
Ares scratched the back of his head.
This action appeared on his tall and powerful body and handsome appearance, and Eight-cloud Ink could not help but chuckle.
"But there is no other way. Eulalie has an underground city that can continuously produce excellent adventurers. We don't have this condition in the outside world."
Ares, who was originally distressed, suddenly asked after seeing Eight-cloud Ink, "Look at you, do you have any ideas?"
"There is a way."
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
"I can make your children stronger. Of course, it's temporary. Although there will be repercussions, it won't affect them too much."
"How strong can he become? Can everyone become stronger? "
"It's an army-level buff ability, but how effective it is will depend on the actual situation. In any case, let's launch a probing attack first."
Ares nodded. Seeing this, Carlisle, who was standing at the side, immediately responded. He returned to the army with great doubts and began to issue orders.
○
"Gareth, the enemy will probably launch a probing attack before the official attack. You go and meet them."
"Eh … Why did you give me such a troublesome task? I still want to drink more rum …"
"Gareth!"
"Good, good! I got it! "
"Tiona, Tiona, do you see the forest here on the map? You two sisters will ambush them and use the Amazon's ability to restrain them if they're stupid enough to send someone into the forest."
"Alright! Leader, can we capture a few strong ones? "
"It's really the style of the Amazon … Whatever."
"Great!"
…
In the temporary camp outside the city of Oralie, the leader of [Loki. Clan], Finn Danner of the Little Clan, was methodically issuing orders.
In addition to [Loki's Kin] and [Hestia's Kin], [Freya's Kin], [Ganisa's Kin], and other famous Kin Families in Eulalia had also sent their members here.
Finn was in charge of leading everyone to fight against the Lakia army. It was a direct decision made by the Union and the Gods, so the adventurers did not resist Finn's leadership.
"Amazing …"
Shesta looked at the energetic Finn and praised, "As expected of the leader of the strongest clan."
Behind her, the three girls, Yui, Fran, and Misaka, were looking at the scenery around them curiously.
For Jieyi and Fran, the first time they appeared in this world was in the Underground City, and then they entered Ouraly. They had never seen the outside world before.
Yuriko was carefully taking care of the children, although she did not think that anyone could hurt them.
Bale seemed to be interested in things like war. He was poking his head out of the crowd that surrounded Finn Danner.
"… Finally, Miss Itsuki, Miss Itsuki?"
"… What's the matter?"
Yuriko noticed that Finn called her and finally moved her eyes away from the three children.
"Is it okay to leave this place to you?"
Finn shook his head.
"… Ahaha, that's good."
Finn could only smile at Yuriko, who was always exuding an aura of being unapproachable.
⑧
Far away from the city wall, there were echoes of sorrowful cries, which became the signal for war.
Military horses neighed.
Then there was the sound of endless horse hooves trampling on the grassland.
Located in the great plains 30 kilometers east of Oralie, countless cavalry carrying military flags fluttering in the wind were rushing forward.
The armored knights and military horses razed everything in their path to the ground. The powerful breakthrough force was like an invisible spear on the battlefield.
What was strange was that each of the knights was faintly emitting a white halo.
Right in front of the charging cavalry, there was a dwarf standing alone.
He wore heavy armor on his thick muscles and a cloak on top of the armor.
He wore a heavy helmet and held a battle axe in his hand.
In the face of the rapidly approaching iron hooves, he raised his amazing weapon. At the moment when the distance between the two sides was only ten meters, he rushed to the approaching cavalry.
He raised his battle axe and swept it.
"Ding —!!!"
The cavalry at the front stabbed the spear in his hand, and the blade of the axe and the tip of the spear collided with a sharp sound.
Then, the knight was blown away.
The knight who was blown away hit his companion who followed closely behind. For a moment, there was chaos in front of the cavalry.
But —
"How is it possible!!!!"
The dwarf, Gareth, widened his bell-like eyes and blew his long beard under his nose.
He was a Lv.6 adventurer, one of Oralie's top combat forces.
In the face of these ordinary knights, he could at least sweep away a large number of them with his axe.
But now, he only knocked over a few people!
Just as Gareth was stunned, the cavalry had rushed up.
"Haa —!!!!"
The powerful dwarf adventurer kept swinging the exaggerated battle axe in his hand. Every time he attacked, several knights would be blown away.
However, even more knights rushed forward and attacked Gareth without fear of death.
The battle was in a stalemate for a while.
Then, after the first team of hundreds of cavalry who were responsible for the probing attack were all blown away by Gareth, the Lv.6 dwarf finally couldn't support himself and collapsed to the ground.
"This … … can't … …"
Before fainting, the dwarf still murmured this sentence.
⑧
"Tsk … … The gap is still too big."
Eight-cloud Ink's hands gently pressed on the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
"A team of 300 Lv.3 cavalry is already your elite troops. Under my blessing, all of them fought to kill a Lv.6 dwarf on the opposite side."
"It's okay! I'm already very satisfied with this situation! "
Ares, on the other hand, seemed very happy.
"You don't know how serious the situation was when I came to fight Oralie in the past. Like the situation just now, the three hundred people all died, and the dwarf will be fine!"
"We have a 130,000 army!"
"But most of these 130,000 people are indeed Lv.1 and Lv.2. Even with the blessing, they will tremble and die in the face of Lv.5 like weeds in the autumn wind."
Eight-cloud Ink was not as optimistic as Ares.
"Or should I do it myself?"
"It's best not to!"
Ares's face suddenly became a little serious.
"Although you are not limited by the Gods' Convention, you also have the same power as us Gods. The blessing like now is okay. If you really do it, it may cause a violent reaction from Oralie's guys."
Eight-cloud Ink heard this and could not help but sigh.
"Okay then … …"
