I - Elise Barrack - was playing with the Distant View Crystal Sphere.
　Through the crystal ball, I was able to get a bird's eye view of the distant surroundings of the fortified city of Kilomitsu.
　I'm not alone.
"The Calicorn, the Magic Bullet General, was also staring at the image.

　Calicoons are humanoid monsters, but they are nearly four meters tall.
　Moreover, only his left arm is unbalanced, large and thick, and his right arm is an odd shape with five arms.
　I'm going to be able to get my hands on the huge body and crouch down on the huge throne, which is a little farther away from me.

　That's right - I visited the demon castle where this guy lives and was literally relaxing in the throne room on the top floor, stretching out my wings.

"Isn't that exactly what I told you it would be, Calicoon?
It's a shame. How could Gerenbez and the rest of my flock be defeated so easily?

　Calicoon spat evasively.

'This Magnus man should never be underestimated.

　I said proudly, as if it was my business.

　The calicoons looked uncomfortable, but didn't argue.

So I took advantage of your proposition, didn't I, Ellis Barlack?
"You're lucky you're not a fool who dismisses the opinions of strangers with a trivial stubbornness that can't be called a pride, "Magic Bullet General"?

　I said this with sincere admiration.

When I learned through the Distant View Crystal Sphere that Magnus had finally arrived in Kilomitsu, I knew what was to follow immediately.
　I knew that Magnus would set out to retake the Four Forts and defeat a series of boss monsters of the Calicorn Childbearers who were in charge of the fort.
　So I went to the calicorn and gave him a plan.

　The plan was as follows.
　Magnus would probably start attacking from the end of Fort Alpha (or drop them in reverse order from Fort Delta), and then he would take all four at once. Then he would try to recapture all four at once.
　 It is.

Can you make it work?　Can you make that impregnable fall in a short time?

　When he heard, Calicoon raised a natural question.

'Now is the opportune time to drop it. It's a matter of circumstance.'

　I explained the "situation" in detail.
　The calicoons listened to the details. I'm not going to dismiss it because I'm an outsider or because I'm an ex-human, but rather, after examining the content of my plan, I said, "That's fine.

　And I'm about to prove my plan to be right.

　Magnus, as expected, started attacking from Alpha Fort in turn.
　The Calicorn took the opportunity to send the Death Falcon to send a message to the Goblin Wargod, who is in charge of Fort Delta.
　The super high level goblin, revered as the God of War by his own people, immediately led the army of Fort Delta and struck. It launched a reverse invasion of Kilomit.

　At first, the Kilomitz garrison was surprised by this move and panicked, but they soon regained their composure.
　Perhaps it was the result of General Georg's command, or perhaps they remembered that they were being protected by the solid walls of the city.
　In fact, the defensive strength of the Citadel Kilomitsu was quite impressive, and there was no indication that the sloppy goblin soldiers could drop them at all.

　Eventually, the goblin soldiers grew tired of attacking.
　Seeing this, the Goblin War God (Goblin Wargod) makes a decision.
　He had his men beat a crude drum and signaled a retreat.

　The hapless goblin soldiers flee in droves.
　I've heard that a well-trained army is neat and orderly, even when retreating, but it would be reckless to expect that from a goblin.
　Looking at the hapless retreating figures of these guys reflected in the crystal ball, the calicorn spits out in displeasure.

''This is all you've got to do, Ellis Varlach.
'Yeah, right. It's really boring, and you haven't even stepped outside of your predictions.

　On top of the Kilomitsu's outer walls, the garrison was jubilant.
　They had successfully driven away the attacking goblin army in just a short time, so their joy was palpable.
　In fact, if we had done nothing else, the siege would have been a victory for them.

Yes, if we did nothing.

　I spoke to myself in a bored voice.

　In the crystal ball image, there was a movement on the kilomitsu side.
　Suddenly the gates opened and an army of about five hundred horsemen showed their bravery.
　It was clear that they had the intention of giving a chase to the fleeing goblin soldiers.
　They were the Luxun Knights who had just arrived in Kilomit from the capital.

'What strategic meaning is there in that chase? General Georg would have stopped them.''
'They meant something to me. That's why I didn't listen to them when they stopped me.

　Luxun's knights have been harboring dissatisfaction all these days.
　It's because the Spirit Prominence has chosen these 'Warriors of Light'.
　Of course, this is a welcome development from the people who fear the calicoons and Grand Duke Luxon.
　But from the Knights of Luxun's perspective, this was nothing more than unnecessary meddling.
　The higher their expectations of the Light Warriors, the more they would turn around and disrespect the Order.
It's the equivalent of being told, "You can't defeat the Magus General by yourselves.

　This is the reason why Eldora has taken advantage of their mindset.
　As expected of an ex-knight's apprentice, he understands their cheap pride well.
　He planned to expand his own power by putting up a plan to defeat the "magic bullet general" together with his knights while standing up for them.
　In fact, Eldora had no intention of defeating the calicorn.

　So Luxon's knights were being used to their advantage.
　They didn't even realize that the man Eldora's nature was rotten to no end!
　Thanks to that, the Luxun knights were embarrassed.
　The duel between Rey and Eldora was the occasion.
　While Ray, whom the Luxon knights had treated coldly, showed great fighting skills, Eldora, whom the knights carried, was a sneaky imitator and lost.
　As a result, Luxun knights are in a bad position.

　The fact that they are usually languishing in the capital city and went out of their way to the front lines of the kilomits is nothing but a cursory calculation to show off their bravery and make up for their lost ground.

You are such boring people, you won't miss this chance to chase them down, will you?

　Magnus and Ray are about to drop the four forts with just two men and launch a tremendous military feat.
　On the other hand, the Luxon Knights would only be a laughingstock if they were here, but were just wagging their fingers in the citadel.

''Therefore, you ignore the reason for the war and strike out, huh?
'They are a noble people. Their cheap pride and their position at court are more important than anything else.
You're hard to blame. My men would have buried you alive.

　While me and Calicorn were talking about such things, the Luxon Knights caught up with the fleeing goblins and began to sweep them away.

　They didn't even know they had been lured out!

　In the crystal ball's image, the Goblin Wargod was screaming loudly.
　It's a pity that it couldn't reach the audio, but it must be a valiant roar.

　Then the goblin tribe's war god's special ability was activated.
　The goblin tribe's entire army of goblins suddenly "leveled up".
　With their individual strength, they surpass Lucsun's knights.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on with these foolish knights before it's too late.
　The Goblin Wargod has beaten the drums again and ordered a counterattack.
　The Luxun Knights were being beaten to shreds in front of an army of goblins that were now outnumbered and outgunned in quality. They are being forced to retreat.

They are a foolish lot, indeed. Where are they going to run to?
'Of course, that's a given,'

　There is only one place for them to escape - inside the fortified city, protected by the outer walls.
　The Luxun knights, fearing death, flee haphazardly and without looking aside.
　There are allies and civilian plants there.
　Even if the goblins drive them back, entangle them and send them all into the city!
　Even if it brings in demons and turns the city into a battlefield!
　It's just that I'm so cute!

Now, are you going to show me the hell on earth?
I'm afraid that's not going to happen. You are very good at General Georg. He is very calm.

　The crystal ball shows the castle gate being mercilessly closed in front of the fleeing Knights.
　General Georg seems to have made the decision to leave the knights to die in order to protect Kilomitsu.

''It's a natural decision for a general to make.
Oh, that's boring.

　It's a sight to see Luxon knights locked outside the castle, sniveling and begging for the gates to open, spitting at the castle, or being chased, surrounded, dragged off their horses and stabbed to death with crude weapons, but it's a sight to behold.
　I'm not going to be able to hear the screams and shouts of the knights, but that doesn't make it any less interesting.

It's boring and boring. Not a single person has done a single thing that I didn't see coming. There's nothing more boring than a story with an obvious ending.
Then I'll have some fun with you.

　As if in a fit of excitement, the calicoons lifted their heavy backs from their thrones.
　He picked up a strong bow, four meters long, which was propped up there.
　Then he went to the castle's veranda and looked out at the southern sky.

''No way!''

　I couldn't help but notice that my hands were sweating.

　It was that impossible.
　Calicoon held his bow in his fat left hand and nocked five arrows with his five right hands.
　Then he fired into the southern sky.

　I hurriedly returned my gaze to the crystal ball.
　The distance between this castle and the kilomitz is about fifty kilometers south.

　How can it reach us?　Really?
　As I waited excitedly, a horrific scene was projected in front of me.
The five arrows fired by the "Magic Bullet General" really did reach the kilomitz, and not only that, but they didn't miss their aim and hit the gate, shattering the gate with its iron plate.

　Oh, God!　Oh, God!
　That's why these demons never tire me out!

　I'll let it go this time, even if it's only because I got to see this awesome divine feat.
　I was satisfied with that.
　No - it's still too early to be satisfied with that.
　The overhead view of the kilomitsu through the crystal ball.
　Suddenly, something strange was projected there.

　It was a meteorite flying from the sky.

　Its aim was cursory, and it crashed somewhat away from the goblin army.
　However, the shockwave it generated was enormous.
　The shock that shook me was also devastating.

　The aftermath of the meteorite's crash was enough to wipe out half of the goblin army.
　With just a single shot, their advantage in numbers would be reversed.
　The goblins had already defeated most of the Luxon knights, but the castle guards, under the command of General Georg, had struck out with their spears at the top of their lungs.

　The goblins are in a state of confusion due to this meteorite attack.
　It's not sloppy or unthreatening. It's strange that they can remain calm under such a substandard attack.
　Therefore, they were unable to mount an organized resistance, and no matter how much they improved with their special Wargod abilities, they were no match for the soldiers under General Georg's command.
　One by one, they were taken down.

　You will be able to see the scene through the crystal ball in the distance.
　There was someone standing in the same sky, standing in the same sky, looking down.
　It was Magnus, of course.
　And surely the current meteorite attack must be the work of his magic.

　Oh God!　Oh, God!
　You--you're the only one who doesn't really bore me!
