"Pull back, Elvis. Cover me.

"Yes, Master Alphonse. What's wrong?　You seem a little flustered. ......"

Hurry. There's a dangerous man approaching. If you're not careful, he'll put an arrow through you.

"Is that what you're up against? Yes, sir. I'll have them evacuate quickly.

　My gunfire and the Eye's had slowed them down.

　But when we saw more and more Grougaria soldiers disembarking from their ships and approaching us, we decided to retreat.

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

　We had sent word by sending people ahead, so it seemed that preparations for retreat had already begun.

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

　But it was not over yet.

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

　It takes time to act when there are many people in the area.

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

　I knew that to some extent.

　But before we came to the Orient, the size of the mercenary group was 100 at most.

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

　And those 100 had been trained by Elvis, so they would move as soon as he gave them an order.

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

　However, the movements of the Orientals here were much slower than those of the Barka mercenaries.

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

　The fact that there are about 2,000 of them may have something to do with it, but they do not move as quickly as the Balkan mercenaries.

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

　Even when orders were given, it was not clear whether the orders were instantly conveyed to all the members, and even when the orders were conveyed, the movements were slow and sluggish.

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

　This may be because some of the people here have been hastily gathered for this battle.

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

　Especially those who are poor and joined this battle to get food and money are not used to moving on the battlefield.

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

　I would like to retreat as soon as possible, but it would be a waste to run away without the softwoods that we have cut down.

Oliva, are you there?

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

Yes. I'm here, Mister Alphonse.

"What about the number of soft magic trees you cut down?　Is it going to be enough?"

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

"Enough. If you only want to use it for the magic bow Orient, you can use a branch of the soft magic tree. We have already cut down a number of trees, so there is no problem in terms of quantity. The only question now is whether we can escape from here.

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

"I see. Then, please withdraw the Orientals as soon as possible."

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

I understand. But what are you going to do, Mister Alphonse?

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

"As per my original intention. I will lead the Barka mercenaries to buy time for the Orientals to escape. Ian, the warrior of Atmos, will make sure to draw their attention to you, so you can return quickly while the archers of Grougalia are focused on you.

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

"And will you be staying behind, Master Alphonse?"

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

"Of course. I'm not going to leave Ian alone. Once I've attracted their attention, I'm going to flee separately from the Orientals.

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

"But, but is it safe?　You don't know if you'll be able to escape, and you don't know the area very well, do you?"

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

"Well, I'll figure it out. If we use the Gulu River as a guide, we can get some idea of the direction we're going home."

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

I understand. I'll leave you to it.

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

　After talking with Elvis, I also talk with Oliva.

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

　He urges Oliva to leave the Orientals as soon as possible.

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

　I told him that I was going to serve as a lord with Ian so that they could escape.

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

"But even so, they're a hell of a fight. If we don't get out of here soon, Oliva will end up at the bottom of the Gulu River.

"Did you see a meteor, by any chance?"

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

"Maybe. We just got hit by a tremendous arrow attack from a distance that the other Glugaria archers couldn't reach. I'm sure that's what happened."

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

"We must hasten our retreat. If we are careless, we will be shot by the whole ship.

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

"Hey, Alphonse. What's a meteor?

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

"Don't you know, Ian?　Meteor is a sort of street name, apparently. Among the many skilled archers of Grougalia, Meteor is a name given to a particularly skilled archer. It's so named because of its powerful arrow attacks on long-range opponents.

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

"Wow. That looks pretty strong."

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

"I'm sure it's strong. Well, if you heard what I just said, you'll understand that I need you to stay here with me to draw them away. Okay, Ian?"

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

"Of course. I told you. I'll work for you."

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

Thank you. Well, let's get to it. The eye is attracting them now, but it probably won't be for long.

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

　The meteor of Grougalia.

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

　I heard there's an archer who goes by that name.

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

　When Ai and I were in a firefight, we were totally winning at first.

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

　But the meteor that came later overturned the situation with a single arrow.

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

　He shot an arrow from a distance that other archers could not reach.

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

　The arrow flew through the sky and came to us.

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

　It did not hit me or Ai directly.

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

　But the moment the arrow hit the ground, the earth shook with a great impact.

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

　It was as if a shooting star had struck the earth.

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

　Just a single arrow fell to the ground and a huge hole opened up in the ground.

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

　The ground within a radius of a few meters was gouged out.

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

　It must be some kind of witchcraft, not magic.

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

　In the East, there is no system of naming by the church and giving magic to the subordinates.

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

　For this reason, it is said that there are not many people who cast spells to invoke magic.

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

　However, this does not mean that they are inferior to the United Kingdom of Fontana in the handling of magic.

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

　Sorcerers.

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

　Those who use their own magical power to cause unusual phenomena.

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

　There are such sorcerers in the East.

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

　The high magical power of the bloodline that has been passed down from generation to generation is certainly strong in itself.

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

　However, there are those who have not only sat on their magical power, but have also studied and mastered the handling of magical power by themselves to the point of causing wondrous phenomena.

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

　One such sorcerer was in Glugaria.

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

　The presence of archers, who attacked from a distance like meteors, could be a threat to the Orientals who were about to retreat.

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

　If they were hit by those arrows while moving on the river, they would surely be sunk by a single blow.

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

　That is why someone has to stay here to deal with the meteors.

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

　Thus, I decided to stay here in the middle of the river to face the meteors to serve as a lord with Ian.
