The two flying swords that would serve as the point guard headed in a straight line towards the strange enemy's cavalry.
　The two flying swords were heading in a straight line towards the strange enemy's cavalry, and the speed of the enemy chasing after the Royal Horsemen made the distance between the two sides shrink in the blink of an eye.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
　With a sound of slashing wind in tow, the Tsukishiro Fubuki mercilessly attacked the front of the enemy cavalry.

(What?)

　Just before the moonstorm came into contact with his opponent, Aldis felt a force that interfered with his orbit.

(Is this why?)

　The force that had just deflected the trajectory of the "Felthe"-like mass of ice was similarly trying to push away the Moonstorm.

　But unlike the Ferté, which cannot modify its trajectory after it is released, the flying sword, which always controls its behavior with magical power, is able to chase its target once again.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

　A strike as they passed each other.

　Scratching the neck of the enemy soldier on the horse, the white sword blade covered in a bright red color.
　The enemy soldier slumped down, and the next moment he fell off his horse.

　The blizzard of moonlight blizzards kept its speed intact as it changed its trajectory to its next target.

　The enemy cavalry rushed to slow their horses down. The unrest could be seen.

　They probably prioritized intercepting the royal cavalry rather than capturing them.
　They began to prepare their ranks to deal with the unidentified attack.
　The Kingdom Cavalry, who were just before being captured, should now be out of danger.

　Aldis let the Lunar Blizzard climb into the sky once and then rushed into the middle of the enemy group as if to shoot down from there.
　At the same time, he sent the 'Tokiharugasumi' flying into the ground slope and let it attack the foot of the cavalrymen with high viewpoints as if to scoop them up.

　It's not just a matter of time before you're able to get your hands on it.

(Although the second one is defeated--)

　But that's as far as the enemy cavalry got from the abomination.
　Although they succeeded in defeating the two cavalrymen in a surprise attack, the opponents were quickly recovering from their confusion.

　A blizzard of snowflakes targeted one of the enemies and attacked, but the enemy reacted to Tsukidai Blizzard's attack from above by using its own sword to dispose of the blow.

(--more formidable than expected)

　The enemy's ability to strike two or three rounds against the moonlit blizzard's sword fire proved that they were elite, with no shortage of elites.

　Likewise, the attacks of Kiku Chunxia were also blocked by a single enemy cavalryman.
　Just being able to match Ardis' flying sword with his sword showed that the enemy's strength was not on par.

(This level is about a thousand more, or ......)

　Whether it's the power of the cavalrymen themselves or the power of unfamiliar cavalry, this enemy is difficult to attack with magical power.
　A direct magical attack aimed at a single target is likely to deflect its trajectory, and the cavalrymen themselves are all capable of putting up magical barriers.
　Even if you pointed a flying sword at them, it didn't seem to be possible to make a flash as they passed by.

　Of course, that didn't mean that Aldis' flying sword would fall behind.

　After all, the opponent is a flesh and blood human being.
　They would get tired, and if they were slashed, they would be wounded and bleed.
　It gradually piles up and slows down their movements, eventually attracting fatal mistakes.

　On the other hand, Aldis' flying sword is an 'object' that doesn't even shed blood.
　No matter how many times it is struck, it never gets tired, and even if it is hurt, it never slows down.
　The position is overwhelmingly different between a flying sword and a flesh-and-blood person who doesn't need to consider any defense at all.

(Finally, five?)

　Although it is a little difficult, Ardis is sure to slaughter the enemy.

　But the opponent is also a man of wisdom.
　As soon as they realized it was only two swords that were attacking them, more than half of them ignored the flying swords and turned their horse-like legs toward Ardis and the others.

　The problem was that there was a large difference in the number of enemies and allies.
　Slaughtering each and every one of them was not a problem in itself.
　But the longer Ardis takes, the more enemies will slip through to us.

''The enemy is coming towards us!

　One of the students shouts from behind me.

(Not enough hands.)

　Aldis turned backwards and looked around.

'What?　What, what's going on, Mr. Aldis?

　It's a very good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good idea of what's going on in the world.

(Roughly twenty, I guess.)

　The soldiers are already mere mute objects, but the armor they were using is wrapped around them just as it was when they were alive.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more than just a handful of swords, spears, and axes that you can handle.
　Of course, he doesn't pick them up directly.

　The magic power controlled by Ardis touches the weapon.
　Softly floating its body in the air, the weapon without a handle on the battlefield began to move as if it had come to life.

''Whoa!　Bu, my weapon!

You're kidding me. ......

　Ignoring the cries and murmurs of the students, Aldis turned to the enemy again and released the weapons he had picked up in unison.

　A flicker occurs in the eyes of the enemy cavalry.
　Perhaps they sensed that a situation that should have been overwhelmingly advantageous was about to be turned upside down by some unfamiliar force.

'Go.'

　I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do, but I'm sure it's the right thing to do.

　Swords struck the enemy from the front, while a spear made a single thrust from behind the enemy.
　An axe makes a heavy sound in the side cleave and goes to cut the neck, and an infantry sword unleashes an unavoidable blow from the side of a cavalryman who has fallen out of stance after avoiding it.

　Whether battered or struck down, the lifeless weapons do not lose any momentum, while the flesh and blood enemy soldiers lose their strength and increase their wounds, and are soon forced to give up their lives.
　After a short time of battle, all that was left were the weapons floating in the air, the enemy soldiers who had fallen to the ground, and a strange horse that had lost its rider.

　The students lose their voices as they see the power of Aldis overwhelming thirty cavalrymen in just a short amount of time.
　Only Kirill is the only one with a dry, bitter smile on his face.

　The kingdom's cavalrymen, who had died nine deaths because Aldis had destroyed his pursuers, approached.

''Thanks for the cover. What unit are you guys in?''

'These guys are schoolteachers from the Left Wing Unit. I'm, well, ......, a mercenary soldier.

　After revealing the affiliation of Kirill and the other students, Ardis revealed himself somewhat awkwardly.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, because it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　Aldis softly sends a heartfelt thank you to Moore for being so thoughtful in anticipation of this kind of situation.

''How could someone from the mercenary corps end up here?　No, now is not the time to pry into that. Where are our allies?　I have a message from the main camp to the commander of the left wing troops.

　Although the soldier showed a quizzical expression, he did not pursue it deeply.

　It's only natural.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.
　It's not a situation we can afford to be in right now.

''What's the matter?　We're running out of time, so make it quick.

　The soldier shows a slightly distressed look and rushes Ardis and the others.
　But there was no voice to answer the question.

　In a heavy atmosphere, it was Kirill who first broke the silence.

No, the ....... I'm sorry to say--

　Kirill opened his mouth as if in contemplation and hesitantly chose his words, hesitatingly choosing how to say them, from the side of Kirill, Ardis' words, which do not have any reservation or consideration, interrupted him.

''If it's the left wing troops, they've been destroyed. It's doubtful that there will be any allies alive, let alone troops, ahead of us.

　The soldier in the messenger order shows a shocked expression at the sudden bombshell.

''What? ......!

　If the unconfirmed information that Ardis heard from Moore is true, then this soldier's "message from the main camp to the left flank commander" is probably a request for help.
　At the time of a crisis in the main camp, it is not a bad decision to call for help from surrounding units.

　But everything is too late.
　It is true that at the time of the attack on the main camp, the left-wing troops were alive and well, but now, however, the defeated soldiers, who did not even form a unit, were simply scattered in all directions.
　Of course, there was no way they could rescue the main camp.

　There is no guarantee that the main camp is safe at this point in time.

I can't believe it. ......

　The soldier of the message nodded.
　But Ardis has no desire or obligation to comfort him.

You can believe it or not, that's up to you, but it's true. But that's not the point.

　He coldly tells the soldier, who is in despair as he looks at him, and turns his gaze to the dust cloud that rises up.

　The figure, which had appeared to be only a black dot, gradually takes on a meaningful shape.
　The same guise as the thirty horsemen he had just slaughtered could be seen.

　It's definitely the enemy.
　Moreover, if the quality of the troops is the same as the cavalrymen just now, they are skilled enough to catch several rounds of Ardis' flying swords.

　It's not difficult to simply annihilate them.
　The same was true when we overran the right wing of the imperial army, but no matter how many enemies there are, there is a limit to the number of people who can directly attack Ardis.
　It would take time, and there is a concern about whether Ardis's physical strength could last, but if we were to cut them down one by one without fail, that would be enough.

　But the problem is Kirill and the others.
　If they took their time, they would put the students at risk.

　You could surround Kirill and his friends with an earthen wall to protect them, but whether that would be enough to ensure their safety is a bit of a question.
　Unlike the miscellaneous soldiers, the opponents are elite cavalry.
　Just as all of the thirty horsemen in the chase used magic barriers, it's best to assume that the rest of the cavalry can use magic as well.

　Then - and Ardis decides.

　There is a saying in this world, 'Attack is the greatest defense'.
　Just like that saying, it is enough to strike down the enemy's attack with overwhelming force before it reaches Kirill and the others, eliminating the element of danger from the root.

　Four years ago Aldis would have avoided actions that could have attracted the attention of those around him.
　However, the current Ardis had no reason to hesitate in doing so.
　It's because when you're given the grandiose nickname of 'The Three Great Demon Defeaters', pretending to be ordinary is useless.

　That's why Ardis does not spare no effort.
　I've decided to annihilate the enemy in front of me with my own full strength.

''--I guess we'd better do something about that first.
