The time goes back a bit.
　The sun in the sky had just risen above their heads when Nacht invaded the Jorno Forest.

　Unlike Nacht, more than a thousand knights and adventurers, who had spent days and hours gathering together while stretching their supply lines, echoed the sound of horseshoes. The metallic sound brought about by the armor grew noticeably louder the more people gathered in the area.
　Standing in the vanguard were seven hundred infantry. A robed wizard took up position behind such infantry. The right wing and the left wing were not clearly defined, but behind each of the infantry were two hundred cavalrymen and a hundred Magic Knights, or Magic Knights, on horseback with their spears ready to charge at any moment.

　They were an orderly army of knights who were accustomed to group action.
　Adventurers, on the other hand, were basically not mixed up with the knights.
　They were basically on a raid. Even though it was called a group action, they moved as a party unit, and Nigrud understood that they would be able to stand around more efficiently if they attacked the demons independently. Some of the parties were most in the front line to take the lead, but basically, the adventurers were on a rampage.

　The general of the mixed army was Nigrud. He had led an army more than once. He also has a track record of always commanding in emergency situations.
　However, he was in a mood to be on the front lines.
　The mighty battle axe that Nigrud possesses shines brightly.
　There was not the slightest hint of an impression of a kind-looking, elderly man in his eyes, but rather the eyes of a carnivorous beast that had found its prey.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. I can't help but envy the young guys.

Ha, ha, ha. General, please don't go on a suicide mission. You must stand firm in the back.
　The one who answered that was Grandia, the leader of the Magic Knights.
　He is a man with narrow eyes and a long black beard that extends from his chin. His appearance was exactly like a warrior. He was also the vice-admiral of the mixed army in this battle.

''Nevertheless, if a situation arises in which you need Lord Nigurd's help, leave the command to me--''
　Nigrud nodded widely at Grandia's words.

'By the way--how's the rat doing?

I don't think we can take advantage of the conflicts just yet, but the battlefield is in flux. If it comes to it, let it be an accident.

"Yes, I've told Krista - but are you sure about this?　Tell me what the Lord wants me to do?

'Hahahahahahahahaha, no, I'm sorry - but Lord Nigrud has somewhat misunderstood the idea of being a knight. A knight is a servant of the Lord. Master Eleonora is my employer, but he is not a master to be served.
　Grandia said to Eleonora as if to spit out her personal grudge at this stage.
　That being said, Eleonora's reputation was considerably tarnished by the incident the other day. It became rumored among the people that the dragon's judgment had come, and the number of vassals threatened by it increased.
　From Grandia's point of view, she could only say that she had it coming, and she felt relieved that she had suffered only minor damage. However, Eleonora had ordered her own loyal Magic Knights, the Magic Knights, to kill Aisha in the throes of war.
　Eleonora is extraordinary when it comes to politics and business acumen. Her ability to rule as a nobleman is no less. But once he is blinded by desire, he will turn into a fool enchanted by treasure.

'Well--thanks for the information,'

You were on alert from the start, even if I didn't tell you, weren't you?　I'm sure that Nacht, that monster - excuse me, Nacht-dono understands that. I don't care what happens to the fools inside, but I don't want to go against Lord Nacht's wishes--
　It's not a joke, but it's a joke for Grandia, who heard the situation from Nigrud directly, although Eleonora had assured her that it was just an excuse to send out the ancient demons and other armies. And I think it's best to avoid the act of picking a fight with Nacht, who is fighting such a legendary monster.
　It's a good idea to have a few subordinates, and Grandia even told them that if there are any disturbing movements, it's okay to cut them off.

The most important thing to remember is that this is a good time to start.
　Nigrud looked over the front line from his horse.
　The two girls were standing side by side as his eyes caught sight of them.




'Are you ready, Aisha--'
　Christa, dressed in blue light armor with exposed shoulders, joints and thighs in places, calls out to Aisha, who is standing in line.

''It's okay........''
　Aisha, who had become somewhat stiff due to nervousness, replied.
　After all, this was Aisha's first battle.
　In his hand, he holds the World Tree staff that Nacht gave him. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.
　There was no time to stumble around in this place.
　Aisha was Nacht's squire.
　She is a servant of a being above the clouds.
　Then she cannot be allowed to succumb to this level of pressure.

''Soooooo, haha.''
　Taking a deep breath, she swallows the air of the battlefield and exhales with nervousness.
　Opening her eyes, Aisha opens her mouth again.

'I'm going--'
　The words came out with determination.
　Aisha was a slow learner. It took her longer to learn words than others, and it took her nearly a decade to learn letters.
　It was natural that such an Aisha could not master magic immediately.
　Seeing Nacht's powerful magic, Aisha practiced too, but all she was able to do was circulate magic power through her body. We just stood at the entrance to the activation of the magic, and we couldn't go any further than that, as we wanted.
　Of course, I'm still practicing now, but even with the support of the powerful profession (job) of a dragon priestess, Aisha, who hasn't finished growing up, was unable to successfully activate her magic.

　But on the other hand, being able to use magic was a big step forward. It was not possible to rewrite or create events using the energy of magic, but it was possible for Aisha to gather that kind of magic (energy) in the palm of her hand and offer it to others.

'Great Water Spirit--please, lend me strength--'

　One by one, spirits attracted by the powerful Aisha's magical power appeared, one by one. They were always giggling and looked like dwarfs that could almost be held in the palm of one's hand.
　They produced several and several mighty water balls. It was a manifestation of such a great power that it could run through both enemies and allies in a state of turmoil.
　But the people themselves were just laughing happily, as if they were playing in the water.

　In addition, an exceptionally large and flowing woman emerged from the water that the dwarf had created. With her at the center, over a hundred masses of water filled the air in an instant.
　Aisha worked as a power source, so to speak. The power generated from that power flowed into the machine called spirit magic, and it could be said that a powerful weapon was in operation.
　It's not just a matter of time before you are able to get your hands on a new one.

''The world will soon be dyed in ice and snow. The world will soon be engulfed in ice and snow, and all life will be lost to the fury of nature. So, by my will, the end is now here and now--

　--Ice Snow Magic (Freezing Magic), Freezing World (Freeze World)

　It was the magic that caused Krista to be known as the Ice Emperor.
　It was a large-scale destruction magic that could confine a circle with a radius of several hundred meters to the ice world. Once trapped in that area (area), an ice statue in the form of a living thing would be created at the end.
　But this time, the purpose was slightly different.
　Krista's target was the sky where the water ball created by Aisha was floating, and the water ball that was caught up in it turned into a giant ice cube in an instant.
　It was like stars floating in the sky, and its brilliance, which reflected light diffusely in the crystals, showed a godliness that is not common on the battlefield.
　When all of the more than a hundred waterballs were transformed into ice cubes, they fell from the heavens like shooting stars or like meteorites.

''-- Composite Magic, Meteor Ice Rain (Icicle Rain)!

　An overwhelmingly heavy block of ice rained down on the demons.
　Such a scene filled with despair was the beginning of another battle.
