Following Raquel-san's assault, the enemy cavalry who were in formation were broken down from the center.

''--Haah!

　The male cavalrymen, who were trying to stop the two horsemen from striking a blow in unison with their javelins out, are blown away without a peep.

　In the corner of her eye is the flag of the enemy general. It was painted in black cloth with a zirconia emblem, fluttering in the wind of the battlefield.

　The grass and trees could sense the earth-shaking steps of the enemy army. Caught up in the battle, they couldn't even escape, they had no choice but to wait for the end.

　They're not within reach of my voice. I can't stop Raquel-san from pushing forward with her eyes on the enemy general with the enemy cavalry still chasing her even after the formation is broken down--I can't stop her.

''Seiyaaaaah!

　An armored warhorse drives by. With superhuman physical strength, wielding a spear to whip up the wind, Rakuel-san rushed forward, cleaving off the enemy and the flying arrows.

　--But. The spear-slide of the heavily armed infantry, assembled only to stop the warhorse, finally stops Raquel's progress.

　Even though she is not frightened, the horse is afraid of the sharp spearhead and lifts its upper body in a big snort. Pulling back on the reins to calm the horse, Raquel-san returned the spear and knocked down the horseman who was approaching from behind.


'My name is Raquel-Ritkasha, general of Laiseneier!　General of Zirconia, step forward if you have the skill to do so!

(One horsemanship: ...... Rash!　(I'm sure you've noticed, there are archers on both wings of the enemy: ......!

　The enemy general didn't answer - no, he had given instructions to his men. Without responding to the provocation, the archers guarded the arrows in their composite bows and tried to launch a wavy attack so that she couldn't receive them.

　It's impossible to believe that Raquel-san, His Highness Astina's right-hand man and the cornerstone of the Isle Rose Fortress' defense, would be so reckless for no reason.

　Her body is on the verge of reaching its limits. If that's what led her to act this time, such as laying down her life--.

　Even if she had struck me on the cheek, I should have told her that I felt uncomfortable with the slightest gesture.

''--Don't!

　All you have to do is delay for a moment before the arrow is released.

　There were nearly a hundred enemy archers, even farther than the distance to the siege tower.

　Still, as long as you can delay the first wave of attacks, that's all that matters.

(The enemy's synthetic bows are made from yew trees ...... i.e. 'plants'. If I can use my magic to interfere ......!)

　The bow uses the elasticity of the wood to shoot arrows. But what happens if that elasticity is strengthened - a bow in high tension, also known as a strong bow, can interfere with firing if it suddenly can't be drawn in the same way as in normal conditions.

"--Change your appearance by the hand of man, O tree!　For a moment, answer my call: ......, Wood Rainforce!

　I've never paid attention to the existence of wooden equipment on a battlefield where metal armor is the norm - I never had a chance to see the enemy's equipment, and I thought the only time magic would be useful now was if I had to use a wooden stick as a weapon.

''Wha......, the bow, pull ......!
"Geez ...... geez, the string is broken ...... and this bow is faulty or ......!

　The archers who were trying to shoot arrows at Raquel-san were thrown into confusion - while they were trying to shoot at Raquel-san.

　His Highness Astina, who had come out of the fortress, caught up with them, and the enemy cavalry, who had been unable to approach Raquel-san for fear of misfiring, were challenged by the cavalry led by His Highness Astina.

''Your Highness, this battle is ...... to me .......
'I wouldn't call it letting you do something reckless. You'll have to explain to me later about going off without permission.
"Your Highness Astina, Sister Raquel, we'll join you!　You guys are in the way ...... haha!

　Presha-san's figure was visible from the fortress, and her subordinate cavalrymen also join her - now they can cross over to the main force led by the enemy general.

　Her magic consumption has already reached its limit, and she can barely stand. But this is also a battlefield - we have to enter the fortress as soon as possible.

''Master Glass, you're brilliant ...... magic that interferes with plants is incomparably powerful in a grassland like this, isn't it?
'I didn't think I'd be able to use it in a fight. If it helps at all: ......

　But it's not just about treating the knights after the battle is over.

　We use magic to reduce the number of wounded. Thinking about honing my magic to do that, I headed to the fortress with Rendle-san.
