Haruka's point of view...



　A grain of light softly flooded out from the ground... and then it disappeared.

I'm not sure what to say. You've revived the warding of the Gurutra Patriarchate, haven't you?

　This is a great way to make sure that you get the most out of your money.
　I can feel my heart pounding.
　She was more worried about Shoma than she thought she was.

It was a dangerous mission to infiltrate the Castle of Fangs.
　It's a dangerous mission to sneak into the Castle of Fangs, and it's frustrating that I'm not the one standing next to my brother.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　This time, the strategy is two-stage.
If the cavalry restraint operation by the soldiers of will did not work, Haruka herself was going to beat up the enemy cavalry.
　But that didn't seem to be necessary.

"...... forward. Recommendation. "............ forward. ............ what?
"......How far do we have to ............ go?
...... What?　I'm defending my territory. ............?

Huh? Huh? What?

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you.
　The sound of horses stopping running stopped. I could hear the ragged breathing of men and horses. And then...


"Oh, my God, how did this happen?
"We're not going to fight Princess Carol!　Just get us out of here!
"...... I'm tired, I can't move. Get me some water. ...... Get me some water. ......


　It's about time. ...... So, Haruka looked at Yukino and Princess Sylvia.
　Yukino looked at Haruka (or, more accurately, at the place where Haruka would be) and nodded.
　Princess Sylvia is supporting Princess Carol and shaking her head in agreement.
　It's about time.

"My name is Haruka-Karmilia!　I'm a member of the great King of the Frontier's staff, the Demon General!

　My lord is Sylvia.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it.　My lord is here to protect Princess Sylvia and Princess Carol based on his alliance with Princess Sylvia. It was my king's men who surrounded the cavalry!

"...... Oh, .......
...... "The King of the Frontier" ...... is the High King who is said to have subhumans at his command?
...... The king who wiped out the demons that infested the frontier has his men here ......?

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to make of this.　If so, keep marching until your strength is exhausted. If not, drop your weapons!　I'll leave a small gap in the ranks of my Soldiers of Will, and you can throw your weapons through it. Once we see you disarmed, we'll assume you have no intention of hostility!

　He shouted at once, and then sighed.
　She sighed. It was more difficult to remember these words than the strategy.

　Haruka, who was invisible, couldn't bring the note with her.
　If she didn't make the parchment transparent, it would just float around, and if she did, it would be unreadable.
　In order to neutralize the enemy smoothly, Haruka needed to awaken her memory.

"Brother. I did my best!

　Eventually, a gap opened up in front of Haruka in the ranks of the Soldiers of Will.
　The gap was barely wide enough for an arm to pass through, and the trapped soldiers threw down their spears and swords.


I'm not going to be hostile to you!　There is no hostile intent!
We don't even know why we're in this mess in the first place. ......
I'm not even sure why ...... Princess Sylvia of the Kittle family and our Princess Carol are here.


　The soldiers are talking in tired voices.
If you look through the gaps in the Soldiers of Will, you will see that both horses and people are exhausted and limp.
　The disarmament seems to have been a complete success.

The enemy's forces have been contained. All that remains is .......
"Politics. Princess Sylvia, please.
"...... I'm sorry for your trouble. "To the entourage of the King of the Frontier.

　Yukino is coming next to Haruka. Sylvia is with him.
　Sylvia bows deeply to both of them.

Thanks to you, I was able to get my father and sister back. My allegiance already belongs to the King of the Frontier, but I thank you as well.
"Yes, yes.

　Haruka and Yukino shook their heads.

It's all your brother's decision, you know. And besides, me and Princess Sylvia are like colleagues.


"When the case is over, let's have a cup of tea together. I'd love to hear about your encounter with me and the Organic Dragon King.
Yes. Sure.

　Sylvia gave a gentle smile and nodded.
　Then she turned to Tonia Gurtra.

"Tonia Gurtra!　Tonia Gurtra, the unworthy son of the wise and dignified former Lord Protector of Gurtra!

　Sylvia raised her voice with a look full of anger.

In the name of the House of Kitoru, I do not recognize you as 'Grand Duke Gurutra'!　You are no better than a demon for the way you tried to turn your soldiers against your sister!　If you feel any regret for your actions, then drop your weapon now and restrain the mage next to you!

　Sylvia's cry echoed across the grasslands.
Sylvia's cry echoed in the meadow.

　At her side, Princess Carol closes her eyes as if in prayer.
　How her brother will be treated will be determined by his attitude from now on.
　Please let this end peacefully. ...... She seemed to be praying for that.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. You are not qualified to be a lord when you control your soldiers with black magic!　At the very least, make it your final mission as Lord to hand over the position to your sister!
"...... What do you have to say about that, youngest daughter of the Grand Patriarch Kittle?

　I'm not sure what to say.

I have the Ten Sages and their mages with me!　I'm not going to let you think you've won just because you broke the black magic of mental domination!
I'm not going to let that happen. See?

　Suddenly, Princess Carol stepped forward.
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

I'm not sure what you're doing here," she said.　You can lock me up if you want. But to detain Princess Sylvia's father and sister and send soldiers ...... into their territory?
"...... Shut up. Stupid sister. Shut up for goodness sake!

　Tonia Gurtra turned away from Princess Carol.

"...... You always do. You always do things that I don't expect you to do. That's how you get more allies. That's why my father ...... you, not me, and that's why I ......".
"Tonia?
Shut up!　I've already teamed up with the Ten Wise Men. I'm working with the Ten Wise Men. I'm not going anywhere!
You're right. Lord Tonia.

　You're right, Master Tonia." Next to Tonia-Gurtra, the mage Cactus-Denin smiled a twisted smile.

And the game is still up in the air. The Ten Wise Men's best soldiers--General Kelga's direct soldiers--have arrived.

　Suddenly, there was the sound of horseshoes.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes and I saw cavalry coming from another direction.

　The wizard, Cactus Denin, saw this and burst into a belly laugh.
　The wizard, Cactus-Denin, sees them and laughs, as if to say, "Everything is going to be as planned.

I've asked General Kelga to lead the troops in the Castle of the Fangs, just in case something goes wrong. But he brought in his own troops. Just in case Master Tonia failed.
"Oh, oh. That's General Kerga.
Yes!　He's such a powerful general that even I don't want to fight him!
General Kerga is the only one who can do it. ...... I see.
I'm sure the general will easily solve the problem of me being unable to use black magic. And then...
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who can't use black magic.

　The black-armored cavalrymen rushed straight towards Haruka and the others.
　The number of cavalrymen is less than ......100.
　They all have spears at the ready and are heading straight for you.
　There is no "mental control" on them. They are skilled cavalrymen who want to kill Sylvia and the others of their own volition.

Yukino-chan!
Haruka-san!
It's time to use the Army Breaker, a method of intercepting enemy soldiers handed down from the High King!

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

In the name of the Witch of the Freeze, "Awaken the Demon General"!

　Yukino awakened as the "Mashogun" and took on her black coat.
　She closes her eyes and repeats a few deep breaths.
　She closes her eyes and takes a few deep breaths, and at the same time, a huge amount of magic power flows into her from the earth, much more than in her normal state.

The "Demon General Awakening" is a power that Shoma was able to use by reviving many of the "Dragon Veins".
　This power is related to the Dragon Vein.
The reason why he can use his power as the Demon General is because he borrows the magic of the earth.

　And that magic power can be added to your own magic as well.
　Yukino closes her eyes and begins to chant. She converts the magic power into her own power and unleashes it!



"You cannot pass from here!　"Ultimate Ice Wall!

　The ground around Yukino froze.
　It's an ice wall that's been deployed horizontally on the ground. No...

　It was an ice floor.


"What ────?


　Tonia Gurtra and Cactus Denin shouted.
　The cavalrymen who were about to rush forward also stopped.
　The ground surrounding Yukino and his men is covered in a huge sheet of ice.
　Moreover, from the cavalryman's point of view, it was a slightly uphill slope. It was shiny, smooth, and slippery.
　There was no way that a cavalryman could run up the ice.

"Go around!
"Impossible, Lord Tonia!　The ice floor is stretched out before them in a wide expanse... if they go around, they'll run into the forest.
Then proceed on foot!　We must defeat them at all costs!
"Yes sir, I understand. ────?
Hey ────!


　Boom!







　It was only for a second.
　In an instant, a huge wall rushed toward the cavalry.
　It did not crash into them. But the horses, frightened by the roar and power of the wall, went wild.
　The soldier who was knocked down rolled on the ground and groaned.

A stone wall slid across the ice. ......?

　Tonia-Gurtra's eyes widen.
　A huge sheet of ice covered the ground.
　What's going on behind it...



"Yes, sir. The next Soldier of Will. Help me up.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!　Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
"When you reach the ice wall, you can jump on your back to ....... Okay, Haruka-san!
"Ogre Force Triple Dry!　I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to know what you think.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
　With enough kinetic energy, the fence slid across the ice to the enemy line with great force...



"Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!　Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!


　Boom.


　You ran right into the middle of the enemy cavalry.
　A heavy stone fence, enchanted with plus-plus acceleration and plus-plus weight.
　The fear of it approaching and the sound of it shaking the ground was enough to send the soldiers into a panic.

　The aim of Haruka and the others was not to defeat the enemy soldiers with the "soldiers of will.
　There was no way they could hit them with this method.
　However, they could use the icy slope to send the "soldiers of will" towards the enemy lines at high speed.

　This was the "High Speed Maneuvering Strategy of the Soldier of Will" that Shoma and Prim had devised.

　The "soldier of will" that plunged into the enemy's camp rolled on the ground, and then did its best to stand up with a swoosh.
　And then...

"Hey. (Are you okay?　(Are you okay? Can you get up?)
"Hey, hey!　(Don't worry, buddy. Here we go!


Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!


　(Don't worry, buddy.) "Hey, hey, hey, hey!

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
The idea was to turn my ice wall into a ramp for movement.
The original plan was to repel the enemy soldiers that were attacking the village, right?
Yes. The idea was to build a wall of ice diagonally from the top of the castle wall to make the "soldiers of will" slide down, right?

　Haruka and Yukino launched the soldiers one after another.





I'm not sure what to make of that.
　So, with Yukino's magic, she creates an ice slope and makes them slide down it.
　The plan was to make them move at a high speed by doing so.

　You can see it clearly when you actually try it.
　It's a simple but annoying strategy from the enemy's point of view. This is.

"The purpose of this operation is to neutralize the enemy.
"It's a good way to stop the cavalry and surround them.


"Aaahhhh!


　General Kerga's direct soldiers were in a state of panic.
　The cavalry's weapon is mobility. Until now, they had used it to surround, cut down, and defeat the enemy.



　They are now being overwhelmed by the stone walls that are sliding down the ground at high speed.
　The icy ground deprived the cavalry of their mobility, but gave the stone walls more mobility.


This is how you fight on the frontier?
I've never trained to take down a stone wall rushing at me at high speed!
If you avoid it, the unharmed enemy soldiers will get behind you. ...... The horse is more frightened than that...?


　If the enemy can get into our camp, the mobility of the cavalry is useless.
　In addition, the ground ahead is icy. It's too slippery to advance.
　If you avoid it, you will move along with it to the ice floor.

　Behind you, the stone walls that blew the cavalry away are circling.
　The horses are frightened by the voice of the enemy soldiers, "Hey, hey, hey! and run for cover.
　On top of that...


"Get up, Ultimate Ice Wall, ......!


　The ice wall rises right in front of the soldiers who are looking for a way out.
　The two walls of ice and stone completely blocked the movement of General Kelga's cavalry.

"Still, ...... General Kelga is here!
"Yes. If he comes, he can destroy these walls with a single blow!
"General!　Please come quickly!


　Boom.


　A huge axe was thrust into the ice wall in front of the soldiers.
　Suddenly, it fell from the air.
　And it was General Kelga's favorite axe.


"General Kelga has already been captured.


　The cavalrymen looked to the sky.
　In the air, there was a man with wings spread. In his arms was a girl with silver hair.

"I speak in the name of the King of the Frontier. "In the name of the King of the Frontier, I lift the black magic on the Castle of the Fangs. The soldiers are calling out the name of their rightful lord, Princess Carol. General Kerga has already been captured.

　The words echoed from the sky, and the soldiers dismounted and kneeled on the ground.
　There was no mistaking the weapon of their lord, General Kelga.
　The fact that it had been taken meant that the general had been defeated.

　And so... outside the walls.

............ is over.

　Tonia Gurtra was sitting on the ground.

"There's nowhere for me to go. It's over. I was defeated when that idiot sister got the King of the Frontier on her side. ......
I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. ...... The King of the Frontier!

　Flipping up his black robes, the mage Cactus Denin shouted.
　The mage Cactus-Denin looked up, his face twisted in anger.

Your power ...... is summoned by a goddess?
...... So you're a reincarnation, too?
"Come down, King of the Frontier!

　I'm not sure what to make of this.

"Let's talk about ...... the same reincarnation. Let's talk about the plans of the goddess Nemesis. Then you'll be on my side.
"I don't think so. ...... Okay. I'll at least listen to you.

　With a shrug of his wings, the King of the Frontier descended to the earth.

　And so, the two otherworlders faced each other at a distance.
