"Hey, Ars. We've finished the work over there."

"Thank you, brother Byte. Now take care of the other side."

"...... Hey, I didn't come over here to do all this civil engineering work, okay?　We're here to help Kyle get his territory."

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

"I know. But right now Kyle is out there with his army and my brother Bite is in charge of defending this place. Kyle will be in trouble if he goes off on his own.

"I know. I'm just saying. But I wanna fight. I can't wait for my turn.

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

"Well, you're not going to like it. Kyle also said that he's willing to leave it to his part-time brother if he doesn't think he can be persuaded.

"But the people Kyle just went out to deal with don't seem to listen to him, do they?　Are they already fighting now?"

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

"Yes. Maybe it's time for a fight. Well, maybe after we've already won. ...... Oh, looks like someone's back. Is that the saint who was following Kyle?

　The Reed family outpost on the banks of the Holy Lake.

　That's where I was working with my part-time brother, who had come to help.

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

　Based on the urban blueprints that Kyle had prepared, Bite led the engineers to build walls and roads, and I built the sewage treatment system to match the cityscape.

　However, Bite-Brother, who was supposed to have led the army as the leader, seemed to be a little dissatisfied with that.

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

　How could he be so eager to fight?

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

　But I couldn't let my brother Bite go out first.

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

　It was not good for him to be too active in the battle, as he was just here to help out.

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

　This battle is only for the sake of gaining land and for the future governance.

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

　I am sure that eventually we will need the help of the Bite Brothers against the bandits who insist that they will never be under the control of the Reed family.

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

　But not now.

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

　What is needed now is to show the power of the Reed family.

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

　That is why Kyle went into battle.

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

　And the head of the committee for the restoration of the Holy City, the blue saint Mirialia, who had joined forces with him as a collaborator, was there to watch him fight.

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

　She followed Reed's army and observed the battle to see with her own eyes whether she could trust Kyle with this land.

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

　In addition, it would also appeal that Reed's army was for the restoration of the Holy City, which would be a good cause.

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

　He saw Milliaria, who was supposed to have left for that purpose, return to the city.

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

　Did she already observed the battle?

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

　No, her return might mean that the battle was already over.

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

　In order to confirm this, we decided to greet the returning Mirialia and ask her how the battle was going.

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

　The war was over.

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

"Welcome back, saint. Is the battle of Reed's army already over?"

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

"...... Yes. We had no problem subduing the bandits who had established themselves around the village of Albedo, and had brought the surrounding area into our sphere of influence."

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

"I see. That's good to know. Are you injured?　Were you in any danger?"

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

Yes. No problem at all. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ars Varka.

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

"......What is it that's bothering you?　You're acting a little strange."

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

No, it's nothing like that. But I have a few thoughts about the Reed forces that I was observing. ....... Kyle Reed led his army into battle many times at such a young age, didn't he?　Is he always fighting like that?"

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

"Huh?　I don't know what he was doing this time, so I can't say. But yes, ....... Kyle is strong as an individual, but more as a commander. Rather than showing himself fighting in the front like me and my brother Byte, he is more like giving orders and using the military organization to fight.

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

"......I see. Actually, to be clear, I wasn't sure. I followed Reed's army this time and saw the battle. But I couldn't tell whether Reed's army was strong or weak.

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

"Don't know?　Reed's army won, right?　No problems, no danger, against bandits."

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

"Yes. But from my point of view, it seemed to me that it was all too easy. It was as if we had just moved our armies to the other side's base without any obstacles, and we had fought each other with our forces. But nothing happened, and before I knew it, I was winning. ....... To be honest, I was wondering how strong Reed's army was, or perhaps it's a misnomer, but I thought the bandits were too weak."

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

　Oh, I see.

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

　Apparently, she felt that way when she saw Reid's army and the bandits.

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

　The victory was a normal one, with no big moves and no spectacular developments.

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

　That's why she couldn't see the power of the Reed family, even though she followed the army to observe the battle.

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

　However, I do not think this is simply because the bandits were weak.

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

　They were all originally rough and tumble thieves who could use magic, so much so that other nobles and knights had a hard time dealing with them.

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

　But the reason why the bandits looked weak is because Kyle's fighting style itself has changed a lot.

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

　Or perhaps I should say that he is too good at it.

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

　Until now, there existed a conventional fighting theory in this world.

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

　Nobles fight wars with armies.

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

　In such a case, a nobleman gives an order to his knights under his command.

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

　Each knight gathers peasants to form an army and goes to the battlefield.

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

　In other words, a noble army was also an army of several small knights.

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

　Of course, they did not have the technology to communicate over long distances by machine or other means.

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

　Therefore, when a small group led by such a knight fought together with a nobleman, he could only give a rough order as a commander.

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

　For example, Carlos, the founder of Fontana, could only order the army of Barca in the army of Fontana to go west and fight.

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

　The rest of the actions of the army of Barca were simply my decisions made on the spot, not Carlos'.

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

　But Reed's army was different.

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

　The Reed forces that Kyle is leading currently number only about 5,000.

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

　But he has given magic to all of them.

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

　The magic of Kyle, the magic of the house of Reed.

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

　In other words, all of the soldiers who make up the army can use the magic of telekinesis and parallel processing.

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

　Yes, that means that Kyle can give simultaneous orders to all the soldiers in the army in real time.

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

　Even just for marching, he gives detailed instructions to the army so that no one will be late.

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

　I am sure that Milialia had never seen such an army before.

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

　Under the will of Kyle, 5,000 soldiers moved as arms and legs to complete the orders given by the top management's thoughts without any waste.

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

　And of course, Kyle's brain was excellent in running such an army.

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

　Fight and win.

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

　He was able to calculate how to move for that purpose, how to minimize the damage to themselves or how to end the battle in the shortest time possible, including the movements of their opponents.

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

　Therefore, the battle between Reed's army and the bandits must have been a very easy one.

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

　Just like a fight between a world champion martial artist and an amateur, or between a chess champion and an amateur.

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

　The battle must have ended without even knowing what was so strong about him.

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

　As far as the result is concerned, Reed's army seems to have won the battle almost unscathed.

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

　Therefore, even Miglia knew that Reed's army seemed to be strong.

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

　However, the fact that the battle was handled without any spectacular exchanges and the victory was won without much fanfare prevented us from understanding the greatness of the battle.

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

　Well, I guess Kyle's way of fighting is what a professional fighter likes.

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

　Probably, the better men who have commanded on the battlefield must have been surprised to see his fighting style from the outside.

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

　However, Mirialia, who was in the Holy City in her capacity as an archbishop of the church, could not understand it at all.

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

　If she was going to follow Reed's army and let him watch the battle, it might have been better to have a commentator.

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

　I thought about that when I heard Mirialia's story.

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

　But there was no time for that, and Kyle continued to go from battle to battle, defeating and subjugating bandits in various places.
