"Orah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Peasant soldiers trying to distance themselves from me, wielding hardened brick poles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Their faces were drawn with fear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course they were.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's obviously unusual to see me, a child, blowing away grown men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe that's why no one tries to get close to me, just looking at me from a distance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's all right then.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My goal is not only to defeat the opponent in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's to win this war.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That means I have to beat the commander.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided to follow the man who ran away from me back into Fontana's army.

"Hey Ars, wait a minute. Don't go in there alone."

　But then something stopped me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was my brother Byte, who had been chasing me from behind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was riding a Valkyrie and swinging a stick, just like me, as he approached.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at his figure and further behind him and assess the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that I had rushed in too far on my own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although I had succeeded in breaking through the leading force of Fontana's army, I was still at a distance from Valka's forces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was not only because I was riding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the strength of the Barka people who were fighting alongside me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Barka people, to whom I had given the surname of Barka and given them magic, were not strong enough to blow their opponents away as I was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to the magic of "physical strengthening" and "shotgun" they are individually stronger than the peasants of Fontana's army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it wasn't enough to overwhelm them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic I gave them, especially [Physical Enhancement], certainly improves their physical abilities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the magnification of the enhancement is only to the extent that you will be able to carry slightly heavier things in your daily life than before, and it is not a kind of super enhancement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even with that, I felt that I had less power than I did as a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This might have something to do with the quality of the magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was the same way when I was a child, but basically, the magic power is often left hanging from a person's naturally generated power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is only a steamy, steamy, rising steam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I have been trying to make the magic more powerful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tried to increase the amount of magic by simply taking in magic power from the air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other is to combine the captured magic power with my own magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then, he concentrates the combined magic power in his stomach and intestines to increase the amount of magic power he takes in from the food he usually eats.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this way, he has been improving the quantity and quality of his magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably, other people do not do so many things about magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They just use the thin magical power that is naturally generated from their bodies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why, even after I named them, some of them could not use magic that requires high magic power, such as [building walls] or [laying roads].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the quality of magic power is improved, even the bodies of children who have not fully grown physically can blow away adults.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does this mean that the quality and quantity of the magic power is directly related to the person's fighting power?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the looks of it, there are only a limited number of people who can work with the enhanced me.

Bite brother, Vargas, you two come with me. Dad and Mr. Maddock will lead the others and follow us."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My brother Bite, who is good at strengthening his body after I taught him how to train his magic for a long time, and Vargas, who has high defense from his experience on the battlefield and is still strong even after being hit by a [shotgun pellet].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These two can be one and the same.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided to lead the way with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We're aiming for the armored men in the center of the enemy army. That's where we'll go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, the target was probably a group of nobles, an armor group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is a formidable foe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if they wear metal armor, they are a threat to us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, it's hard to hit them with a shotgun shell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if they are hard, "scatter", which is a magic to send stones, cannot penetrate metal armors enough to damage them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But those wearing armor had more magical power than that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The amount of magic power that I can see through my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Whether it's because of their training or some secret, all of them in armor have high magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naturally, their strength may not be comparable to that of peasant soldiers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that's why it makes sense to target them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Me, my brother Bite, and Vargas are our mainstay, our spiritual pillar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the same way, the armored men should be the emotional support for the peasants in Fontana's army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we break them, the peasants will not be able to hold together.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this thought in mind, I and the two of them advanced toward the center of the enemy army, paying no attention to the peasants.
