Ten Bram is a 10 vs. 10 strategy game.
　A pawn, an infantry soldier, can be assigned to one of the two Specialists, who are assigned to special positions. In practice, the outcome of a battle is largely determined by the Special Forces, but since magic flow control is limited by the arm bands, there is not much difference in the individual combat power of the soldiers.
　In other words, it is limited to melee combat. It's a good enough achievement for a moderate user to buy some time.

　The usual starting point is for each king to map out all of his opponents' troops on a virtual LCD that he carries in order to keep track of them.
　Once the markings are dropped on the map, the rest of the map can be automatically tracked. However, there is a drawback to this as well. If the soldier does not move for five minutes from the time of discovery, the markings on the map will automatically disappear.
　Of course, this is a foolish plan. The more a soldier stops moving, the more he is a target of surprise.

　The king cannot move from his initial position, which is not specified, so he himself must build his base within the stipulated time as soon as he starts.

　Since 10 minutes have already passed since the start of the game, Tesfia should have already set up its base. Ars had also paid attention to the location of this time.
　The well-done mountainous area was roughly densely forested and almost rectangular in shape. It was probably no more than a kilometer wide.
　And the kings would have to base themselves 5 to 10 kilometers away from each other.

　If it was on schedule, the infantry is advancing straight ahead in a curved horizontal formation. If their arrival wasn't so last minute, I would have liked to meet with the key players this time, but it can't be helped.
　Even in simple strength, Silsila and Orneus of the Umu Luyna forces are in the flying car horn. With a strength that may be inferior to that, their defeats are more likely to come before their wits.
　I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get it right.

　Ars advanced to the midsection and slowed down. He has followed the instructions of the communication device 《Concensor》, but he has not encountered any enemies so far.
　But if it was as originally planned.

''It's here.''

　Ars immediately presses the button on his bracelet as a figure emerges stealthily from the bushes. It's meant to signal an encounter and a visual detection.
　Tesfia should have an idea of the location of his companion, Ars, so he would be able to get the meaning of this signal.

'Was it Orneus-san?'

　As if on purpose, Ars uttered a word of confirmation. In the meantime, he alerted his surroundings.
　Orneus, in his loose-fitting tails, approaches without smiling or even the sound of scraping underbrush.

''Yes, even though it was planned, I didn't think I would have the opportunity to engage with you early.
We would have been happy to have another person with us, if possible.
My Lord doesn't underestimate the importance of this kind of thing. Besides, I'm a tough guy myself.

　He removed his white silk gloves and folded them neatly and tucked them into his pocket.

　Ideally, it would have been easier to take on two people at the same time, after all, it would have been somehow easier to develop. It's difficult to win a comfortable victory against two people because of the restrictions imposed by magic, but I figured that I could handle it to the extent that I had to stall them.

''Seems so. And it's unlikely that we'll be able to shake them off.

　Here, for the first time, Orneus's mouth is covered by a fearless smile. After completing simple preparatory exercises such as lightly jumping and turning his wrist, he said, "Well," and took a stance.

　It's a stance that even Ars has never seen before.
　There is an atmosphere of martial arts that assumes the old regime's pre-personnel combat as martial arts. It is exactly the kind of move that is extremely troublesome for Ten Bram.
　The magic power that responds to the movement that flows from the gesture to the stance like a clear stream covers the hand very smoothly.

　It's also a good idea to pull out the AWR from the waist and let the magic power pass.

　A moment later - beyond the oblique of Ars, countless magic flies from the Tesfia camp, and an explosive roar continues.
　However, Ars, who had only caught it at the edge of his vision, still had his consciousness focused on Orneus.

　I'm not sure if they were looking for an opening or not, but for the time being, they wouldn't start moving. That's why Orneus kicked the ground lightly with a thump.

　The initial move was a light step, but the speed that resembled a rush was wild and deranged Ars's reaction time.
　Orneus doesn't have an AWR, giving the impression of being a complete martial artist.

　In contrast, Ars uses a knife-type AWR. Nevertheless, the handling of the knife is inferior to bare hands in close combat. Although it has an advantage on the offensive side, in the current situation where magic is limited, it was not possible to judge the pros and cons.

　The reflexive stream of thought dissipates as soon as the distance between them closes.

　It is probably a fool's errand as a result of Ars choosing a thrust against the opponent coming at you. The movement ingrained in the body assumes the next move from the thrust.
　This is despite the fact that.

''--!

　Orneus lightly sidestepped the tip of the knife with one hand. Then the knife, flicked by something, deviated to avoid along the flow of magical power that clung to his hand.
　Taking a further step, Orneus intertwines Ars's arm and tightens it up to lift his elbow, and his palm extends to his elbow in the opposite direction, and his other hand is a two-fingered, claw-like piercing hand.
　It extends to the two shoulders. The two motions are performed in multiple ways, and I could sense that my opponent was used to fighting just by that.

　In this momentary exchange, Ars had a vision of the result of the complete destruction of his arms. His elbows are broken and his shoulders are crushed.
　Even Ars, who had honed his skills in his own style, was made to see his mastery in plain sight.

　However, for Ars, who does not study martial arts schools or kata, this evasion was a forceful measure that could be described as the action of one who has put himself in a real battle.

　After kicking the ground, Ars turned upside down in the air with his arm on its axis, twisted his arm and thrust his leg out towards the side of his head.

　After the collision, Orneus was made to retreat backwards, leaving a trail on the ground as if he were being played. His bangs were clumped together by the shaking, and his hair was hanging down.
　Then he slowly turned his face back with his neck being pulled back, blood was smeared on his mouth as if he had scraped it.

　The current offensive was a choice between pulling or not pulling. That was what Orneus had decided to do. It was supposed to be an advantageous offense and defense, like taking a kick instead of breaking one of his arms or something like that.

''Isn't that indeed naive?''

　Ars's arms were hanging slackly from his shoulders. Forcing his body to twist, Ars had created a gap just enough to turn his arms that could be closed beforehand. This caused his elbows to turn and bend his arms as he grabbed his clothes and pulled them closer to each other. The direct hit of the thrust to break the elbow was avoided and only snatched.
　And the shoulder?

'Did you remove your shoulder, I didn't realize you'd been noticed that much in that moment.

　So the magic power covering Orneus' hand was not formed like the magic sword used by Ars. Hence, there is no danger of being pierced like a stab. This is also an empirical reasoning in a sense, but it seems to have been right.

　Without wiping his mouth, Orneus re-positions himself as if to say that this was a small check.
　Ars also immediately returned his shoulder and lightly grasped it, confirming that it was well joined.

(A little bad for melee combat, then........)

　Arus ponders which way to go, left or right, and quickly makes a decision.
　The sound of the explosion earlier is probably long-range magic by this camp. Considering that the number of remaining soldiers displayed on the armband has been reduced by one - it's only about one person - the start of the slide will be good.
　The only special soldier that can use long-range magic within the restrictions is the archer, the Archer. Although it was to reveal our hand, but since we hit that much stuff, perhaps we have captured another important person, Silsila.

(What kind of guy is he? If he can fire that much magic at once, it's hard to imagine him as one of those wizards)

　A vast number of wind arrows, even if it is offensively weak magic. Magic that is just barely visible has an unnatural trajectory, like a bird circling in the air.
　It's not relevant whether it's because the opponent is evading it or not, as it increases the distance or scatters to the left and right.

　Ars saw the technique and was convinced that the task was accomplished.

'Then it's this way.'

　As soon as he said that, Ars starts running in the exact opposite direction from the rain of arrows.

''I can't shake it off,''

I know.

　Swearing inwardly, Ars ignored it and sprinted as fast as he could. In doing so, the number of orders given by several Tesfia camps has increased significantly.
　This is the number of times the opponents give orders that can only be confirmed by each other's kings.
　When the king gives an order to his soldiers, the content of the order is concealed from them, but the fact that he gave the order is conveyed to both parties.

　This action was also communicated to the Lord by Orneus using the button.
