Intimidation.

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

　A strong unit of the Bulgarian army was engaged with Ian, a warrior from Atmos.

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

　Then the Orientals rushed in.

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

　They attacked the archers, who had been dealing with Ian by guiding his movements well until then, and hit them sideways.

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

　Then I invoked my magic.

　Intimidation.

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

　It's just a kind of magic manipulation without any spell culture, just a sharp needle of kneaded magic that flies to the target.

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

　But it worked better than I expected on the battlefield.

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

　This is probably because my magic power has been increasing.

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

　Even if the magic power like a needle pierced my body, if the person himself has some magic power, the effect of intimidation will be reduced.

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

　For example, if they are the poor people in the poor districts of the Orient, even a very small amount of magic power is effective enough to mow away their consciousness.

　But as Mitya, who had the power to transform herself into a beast, was able to block it, each person's resistance is different.

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

　But I am much more powerful now than I was then.

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

　I guess it has something to do with the fact that I named him Ian in addition to naming the inhabitants of the new Barca town.

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

　And I think it was also good that I was able to distribute the abundant magic power appropriately to intimidate them.

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

　I was able to visualize the magic of the others by distributing the magic and collecting it in my eyes as well.

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

　Then, I adjusted the pressure to be stronger on those who had a lot of magic power, and to be as strong as necessary on those who had less magic power.

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

　However, it is not strong enough to stun everyone.

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

　At best, it could only temporarily buy time.

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

　But it was still enough.

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

　The Orientals suddenly jumped out from the fortress while they were fighting against an enemy too large for them, the giants.

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

　Normally, it would not have been so easy for them to reach this army.

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

　However, the poison attack had left many of the Bulgarian soldiers pinned down, and they had been forced to the front line.

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

　They were fighting only against giants and a few cavalrymen who had lost their arrows, when suddenly they appeared.

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

　In my haste to react to them, my body stopped moving.

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

　The first thing that happens to the openings of the Grougary soldiers is that the cavalrymen with their magic bows, the Orientals, fire a volley of arrows at them.

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

　They were all hit by long-range arrows with a power comparable to that of the archers of the Bulgarian army.

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

　And then, the Valka mercenaries from the Orient Army with their ice-spirit spears followed up with another attack.

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

　This is a magical weapon that produces a spear of ice when magical power is put into it.

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

　It was a weapon that the people of Gulugaria had never seen before.

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

　They would have thought that they would be able to attack at a greater distance.

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

　The spears in their hands somehow made their opponents unable to move as they approached, but they quickly recovered.

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

　They were still in range and their attackers could not reach them.

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

　Just when they were thinking that, the ice spear was thrown out.

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

　They could not react.

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

　Well, that may be inevitable.

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

　Magic weapons themselves are not very common to begin with.

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

　If there is someone who has a magic weapon in his army, it is often a special weapon that only he has.

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

　Or, rather, almost all of them.

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

　But I don't think that the attacked Orientals expected to use the same kind of multiple magical weapons on the battlefield.

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

　The mercenaries of the Bulgarian army, who would normally shield the archers, could not take any defensive posture against the attack of the ice spears.

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

　In an instant, the advantage in this situation tilted to the Orientals.

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

　This made the Groganarians turn their attention to the Orientals who had appeared from beyond the wall and attacked them.

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

　But this resulted in further damage.

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

　Ian.

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

　Until then, the whole unit had been fighting against the mighty warriors of Atmos.

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

　Nevertheless, most of their consciousness was directed to the Orientals.

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

　This may have been due in large part to the influence of intimidation.

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

　If a person's body suddenly stops moving, regardless of his/her will, anyone's attention would be directed to that direction.

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

　But there was no way Ian would have missed that opportunity.

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

　The opponent, who had been attacking with a storm of arrows and magic arrows while barely preventing his approach, was interrupted in his action.

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

　The attack by the Titan, who until then had used all the power he had used to defend himself to attack, was extremely severe.

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

　And as for me, I attacked those who looked strong first.

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

　I was able to successfully take out the juggler on my first approach, so I attacked the archers who were shooting flaming arrows next.

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

　The Valkyrie was running at full speed, and I was using the nucleus of one of the fresh-blooded Norns I had recovered to defend myself.

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

　The fresh-blooded soldier, which normally would have been an independent armor, became a single piece of human-horse armor that protected my body and the Valkyrie's body as a whole, blocking the attack with the bow.

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

　Then, without even a single counterattack, I sliced through the flaming arrowman with my magic sword.

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

　With a single cross stroke, I slice through his torso, and in doing so, I also collect his blood and magic power.

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

　With the same momentum, I moved further forward, with other cavalrymen by my side and infantrymen with ice spears following behind me.

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

"d*mn! I can't let you do this!"

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

　A mature archer stands in front of me.

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

　It was that old man who shot a meteor with me.

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

　It seems that I got to this old man faster than Ian did.

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

　He did not run away from me as I approached him on the Valkyrie, but met me head-on.

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

　He held his bow in a beautiful posture and tried to shoot an arrow with a large amount of magical power squeezed out of his body.

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

　If I shoot an arrow powerful enough to blow away the ground and even the walls from this distance, will my allies be damaged as well?

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

　However, he seems to shoot his arrows perfectly, as if he doesn't care about such things.

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

"Intimidation."

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

　But then he strikes again.

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

　This intimidation is apparently good against the archers of Grougalia, as I have just found out.

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

　Attacking with a bow is difficult.

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

　If the aim is off even slightly, the arrow will fly in a completely different direction.

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

　Therefore, a terrible amount of concentration is required when attacking with a bow.

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

　However, intimidation is capable of forcibly disrupting the concentration.

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

　It is also significant that the posture of shooting a bow is exactly the same as that of a shooting star.

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

　I could see the moment when he let go his hand from the bowstring, so I hit the intimidating force to disturb the moment, which made him miss his aim very much.

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

　He must have known that he had lost his aim right away.

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

　But it was too late.

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

　The magic sword Norn was thrust at the man who was looking astonished after missing the attack with the bow, which he was absolutely sure of.
