"The dragon knights are retreating. Shall we pursue?

How far back did they go?　Do you know how many were shot down, aye?"

"The number of dragon knights shot down by the four wings is 183. However, most of them are knights riding flying dragons, and it seems that many of them are still alive. With the surviving flying dragons, the dragon knights retreated across the Rhine.

"I see. It seems that magic guns alone aren't decisive enough against flying dragons. Well, it can't be helped that there are only 13 of them. We don't need to chase them, but just keep your eyes open to see if they come back again. They may still come back to help the ground troops that are still here.

"Yes, sir, Mr. Ars Varka."

　It seems that the four newly deployed wings had a good showing.

　The dragon knights were having a hard time dealing with the four wings that were flying around at ultra-high speed.

　Well, it can't be helped.

　It must have been the first time for them to experience a battle in the sky.

　At the moment, there is no one with air power other than the dragon knights of the Kingdom of Resolute except for Barca.

　The only known air power of Barka was a slow airship.

　Even the state-of-the-art magic airships were basically for my exclusive use, and were used infrequently, making it difficult for other nobles to obtain information about them.

　Therefore, he probably thought that the opponent of the air battle that the Kingdom of Risolute expected was a dragon knight just like himself.

　There is no possibility that other noble families would also obtain flying dragons by some means and operate them as dragon knights with knights on board, just like the Kingdom of Resolute.

　Therefore, I think that in the usual training, when the dragon knights fight in the sky, it is assumed that the other party is also riding on a flying dragon.

　Therefore, the dragon knights were training each other on the flying dragon in a kind of mock battle.

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

　There is nothing wrong with that at all.

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

　But I think that it has been taken for granted for some time.

　In other words, the idea that only they can fly and fight on a flying dragon, and that if their opponents are also riding a flying dragon, their speed and turning ability in the air are almost the same, has become ingrained in their brains as common sense.

　Therefore, they must not have thought at all that they would have to fight against someone who is faster and can turn more efficiently than they can.

　For this reason, the dragon knights who encountered the four wings were not able to cope with them at all.

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

　Especially since they were riding on the backs of flying dragons, they could not see them at all if they were moved to the back or under their stomachs.

　Moreover, the fact that the four wings are much smaller than those of flying dragons may have had something to do with it.

　The four wings, which are only long enough to be held in both hands, were moving from blind spot to blind spot and attacking us, and we were having a hard time dealing with them.

　We could not even aim our own magic at them, even if we fired it from the palm of our hands.

　It is sad for the knights that almost the only resistance they could make was to use the body of a flying dragon.

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

　It seems that the flying dragons didn't like it when they were fluttering around the flapping dragons in the sky, so they tried to hit them with their bodies or knock them down with their tails.

　Ai said that some of the four wings were damaged by these attacks.

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

　We will have to recover them later.

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

　Overall, however, the air battle ended in our favor.

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

　Many of the Dragon Knights were shot down and the survivors retreated.

"Do you hear me, brother Bight?　This is Ars. The four wings drove the dragon knights into retreat. Over.

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

"I hear you, Ars. I hear you. We've only been chipping away at them because the cavalry's spread out, so we haven't had much success yet. Shall we claim that we've driven off the dragon knights and then go all in at once?"

"No, you don't have to do this. No, you don't have to do that. It's called a backwater position, and they will resist desperately if they are trapped on the riverbank with nowhere to run. Please be safe, take it easy, and do your best to scrape away."

"Yes, sir."

　The results of the battle with the four wings are conveyed to Baito's brother.

　Bite-Brother is still riding around the battlefield on his Valkyrie, but thanks to the bone-conduction communicator, he is happy to be able to keep in touch without the need for [telepathy].

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

　Since it is a bone-conduction device, there is no need to cover his ears to block the sound around him, so even while fighting, Bite-Brother responds to him and gives him instructions.

"Are you sure?　I think a stronger offensive would deal a further blow to the Royal Army of Resolute, don't you?"

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

"That won't be necessary, aye. I mean, we can't let our guard down yet. You don't have to."

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

"Careless, sir?"

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

"Yeah, there's a Risolute Kingdom army on the other side of the Rhine that hadn't crossed the river yet, right?　That means the main camp is over there. If the leaders who will be in the main camp enter the war, the situation will change drastically, and I think we should proceed with caution.

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

　I mean, there was no leader among the dragon knight troops.

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

　If there had been, the attack of the magic gun might not have been so effective and might have been dealt with.

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

　However, I wonder why there was not a single head of the class.

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

　Could it be that there was another purpose of this battle?

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

　For example, how about finding out how we will respond to the dragon knight forces?

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

　This would explain why only the dragon knight unit quickly retreated while our own soldiers were still here.

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

　I still don't know what the other side is trying to do.

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

　But we will do what we can.

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

　With that in mind, I too boarded the Kaiser Valkyrie and in cooperation with my brother Byte, began to move to cut down the remaining forces of the Resolute Kingdom army that was still resisting.
