I tell Knogen and the others to get ready to pull out, leaving Ville and Tabu standing there in front of me. He calls the messenger and orders him to do so. Immediately, there is a sudden commotion around us.

I walk among the soldiers, conversing with Almond, who is standing beside me. At first I had thought that Ville and I would have a lot to talk about. After all, in such a short period of time, he had conquered the neighboring countries and even tried to annex this Sandanj nation. I thought that there might be something to learn from him or something similar, but from the looks of him, he seems to be more of a dictator.

"Well, I'm talking about a king like King Tana, a king who wants to control everything at his will. The man came from a commoner's background, but he used his eloquence to become the king of his land. Immediately after that, he invaded neighboring countries so fast that he was about to conquer the world, but one failed strategy led to his country's defeat. Naturally, the dictator of the country took his own life. Incidentally, the man originally wanted to be a painter, but since he could not become a painter, he had no choice but to become a dictator. Well, he made the worst career choice in the history of mankind."

Scurrying around, Ville looks around. He was surrounded by white cloth on all sides, so the scenery remained unchanged, and the people on Tana's side did not seem to understand the transition. However, they could tell that something had happened because of the loud cheers coming from the surroundings.

What appeared before us was a familiar view of the Kakona River. Ville and the others on Tana's side are staring at the scene spread out before them, their eyes black and white. It seems that they have a hard time accepting it as reality.

He nodded at the sound of my voice and quickly looked behind him. Then, from among the soldiers, a man dressed like narwhal came walking toward us, dragging a man behind him. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the man had white hair, and although he was equipped with armor, it was already in tatters and his face was covered with blood, indicating that he had suffered considerable wounds.

Ikkaku introduces one of the owaras coming toward us. He has a black bandage-like cloth wrapped around his body, so we cannot see his face. However, we can see his body because of the thin cloth wrapped tightly around his body. His body was completely flab-free and, in a word, scrawny. I could not help but agree with myself that he could run long distances with such a body.

During the standoff with Tana's army, Sadakichi reported that several men were gathering around a strong light at a certain location. The light was pointing straight in the direction in which we had set up camp, and the men there were holding their palms to the light and chanting some kind of incantation.

Intuitively, I judged it suspicious and ordered narwhal to investigate the light. However, the place was located far from the battlefield, and it would take a long time for ordinary people to get there. However, the Owaras could run faster than ordinary people. So I ordered narwhal to find the fastest man among the Owara.

As it turned out, Geranius and the others had been sending magic toward us with a device far from the battlefield. Needless to say, it was to contain our magic on this battlefield, and they were sending it with their lives.

In Jouni's hand was a pale pink stone the size of a human fist. This seemed to be a device for sending magic power to distant places, which had been given to them by Octa, or Hayes, of course.

He had faithfully carried out my orders. I had given the order to turn off the light. Not only that, I had told him that if anyone interfered with the turning off of the light, he was to take them captive, or worse, I would allow him to take ruthless measures. For this reason he killed all the soldiers of the Thanatian army who were around him when he destroyed the device. The one who resisted most stoutly was the wailing Geranius. But even with his magic he was unable to inflict a single wound on Jouni's body, and instead he was cut to shreds. However, Jouni decided that it would be a waste of time to fight him any longer, as he kept coming back to life, casting recovery magic every time he was cut down. By the way, when I say "brought him here," I don't mean that she pulled him by the hand and brought him here. He carried him on his back and ran. This is no longer a human feat.
