"Okay, let's go, brother Ars."

"Oh. You can do whatever you want to do, Kyle."

"Okay. Well then, good luck, Spirit."

　On the banks of the Rhine, with Fort Costambre on the other side of the river.

　There, Kyle checked with us and then we got underway.

　The battle for Fort Costambre, the impregnable fortress and final line of defense of the Reinsatz family, had just begun.

　Kyle pulls out his staff and summons a spirit.

　The staff is specially made for Kyle.

　It is an ancient tree that once sent Kyle a thought out of the blue in the north forest and made him make a contract with the spirit.

　Apparently, the tree cheekily calls itself the World Tree.

　However, it does not seem to be big enough to be called a giant tree that supports the earth, and it is said that it would not be easy to find out which tree is the tree even if you fly over it.

　However, it is said that the tree is definitely a special tree because it is very old.

　A world tree that has lived for a long time and a dragon's magic stone that has probably lived for a long time.

　The magic stone, combined with the new essence of Briaria's magic circle technology that Charlotte had told him about, made a very good wand.

　The staff was made by inlaying the magic stone of the immortal bone dragon with the magic circle engraved on the branch of the world tree, and when used, it is said to greatly increase the control of magic power.

　It was useful in rounding up the Wangdu's allied forces.

　Among nobles and knights, the amount of magic power is often mentioned as a symbol of strength.

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

　This is because, for those who can use the same magic, the more magic they have, the more times they can use magic, and the more physical ability they have, the better they can improve their physical ability.

　Therefore, the skill to control magic tends to be seen as relatively low.

　Even if one has mastered the fine details, in the end, the greater the quantity, the better, I suppose.

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

　However, Kyle and I were a little different.

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

　Because while ordinary nobles and knights only use the magic that is made available to them by being named, we had the ability to manipulate our own magic power to produce special phenomena.

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

　Therefore, the control of magic power was important as well as the amount of magic power.

　For example, I can send magic power into the ground to change the shape of the soil or to build a brick wall.

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

　But this was not as easy a task as others might see it.

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

　First of all, we need to put our hands on the earth and send enough magic power into it.

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

　If you want to build something big, you need to put a reasonable amount of magic into the ground, and that takes a lot of time.

　And if you want to build a large building, for example, you must have a clear image of its shape in your mind.

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

　If the image is not a good one, the building may not be built well, or even if it is built, it may collapse immediately like a defective house.

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

　 In this image, we have to control the magic power to change the shape of the object we want to make, so it is not always enough to have a large amount of magic power.

　Therefore, it was quite difficult for me to build a huge and solid bridge that would allow me to cross the Rhine during the attack on the fortress of Costambre.

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

　I had to send enough magic power to the soil of the deep riverbed, and then build a viaduct that would not be defeated by the current of the river, and then build a bridge that would allow me to pass over the viaduct.

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

　Such an attempt would consume a huge amount of magical power as well as a great deal of concentration.

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

　With the Saladians and the Hamans, who had only just joined our side, in addition to the Barka forces, nearby, we were hesitant to expend such a great amount of energy.

　It was the existence of the Kaiser Valkyrie, synthesized with the Atmosphere and the labyrinthine nucleus under the Holy City, that made it possible to float Vulcania and the ruins of the Holy City in the sky.

　It was only because they had accumulated magical power in the soil beforehand that they were able to do such a large-scale project.

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

　Therefore, I basically don't build huge structures with magic in other places.

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

　But Kyle was different.

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

　The staff of the World Tree and his contracted spirit.

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

　These two work to help him handle magic power very well.

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

　With them, he can send magic power to a wide area in a short period of time and cause unique phenomena to appear.

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

　That's why they were able to perform such a feat as making a flower of fantasy bloom in full bloom by mixing up the magic power against the Royal Allied Forces that were approaching right in front of them.

"Oh! Look, Ars! The spirit of Kyle is stretching some kind of plant over the river water. Could this be the one you were talking about to build the bridge?

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

"Looks like it. I don't know what it is, but I heard that there are plants that are safe for people to ride on the water. They are going to extend it so that it connects to the Costambre fortress on the other side of the Rhine.

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

"So, we can just go over the plant bridge and attach ourselves to the Costambre fortress and attack, right?　Well, we can finally go on the offensive. It's worth the wait.

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

"It's all well and good to be enthusiastic, but don't do anything that will cause too much damage to the Balkan army, Brother Bite. The Saladians have a water wall, so use it to your advantage to attack them.

"Oh, leave it to me."

　Using magic power to build a bridge over the vast Rhine River.

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

　I could not have done it this way.

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

　But Kyle could.

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

　With his abundance of magical power and various conditions, Kyle succeeded in building a bridge made of plants over the Rhine in no time at all.

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

　We climb on the bridge.

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

　It seems that the vines of the plants are woven into the bridge.

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

　This is why the bridge does not seem to sink or become unstable, and it is confirmed that a large army can move across the bridge.

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

　So, if this is the case, there is no need to be shy.

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

　The people in Fort Costambre would not expect to be able to cross from the other side of the river like this.

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

　They would have expected to use boats to cross the river.

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

　Therefore, the naval forces of the Reinisatz force would have intercepted any ships coming toward Fort Costambre.

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

　However, this turned out to be a mistake.

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

　The plant bridges that covered the surface of the water rendered the ships useless.

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

　And there is no way we can immediately respond to such a sudden change.

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

　There is no way we can miss this opportunity.

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

　Seeing that our opponents were in a state of confusion that they could not cope with, we approached Fort Costambre at once and launched an attack.
