Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Holm brought a map of the Kingdom of Mitos the day after the meeting.

"... I see. A country surrounded by oceans and mountains."

The sea is needed on the south side, and the high mountains tower on the north side. Besides, it was my first impression that there were high mountains on the east side, and the country seemed to be quite hard to protect.

According to Holm, the kingdom of Mitos had these lands, and at the same time had fertile lands. Food self-sufficiency is high, and in addition, many seafood products are caught from the sea. To tell you the truth, it's a pretty rich country. More than that, many minerals were caught from the high mountains, and in particular, the country was one of the world's leading gold producers.

Saifand, Noono, Elsmo, Carutren… what are their positions?

Holm gives a troubled expression to my question. That's true. As expected, you wouldn't know that much. But he's only my guess, and he's prepositioned it and started explaining the position of the enemy forces.

“Safando, Nono and Ersmo are located on the north side of Mitos. Considering the geographical situation of each country, I think it is most efficient to go straight down south. It is likely that there are 30,000 Sephand troops on the west side of Mitos, 10,000 Norno troops on the north side, and 20,000 Elsmos troops on the east side.”

Where's the Carutltren army?

“That country has a strong navy. On observation, it appears that there are troops stationed on the southern side of Mitos, in other words, in the Mitos Sea.”

"... I see. I thought it would be a good idea to lure the enemy forces into the country and fight them, but this is a tough fight."

I smile unexpectedly. If the enemy attacks each one of them, there are specifications to deal with, but if they are hit with a total attack, they will destroy the country at once. How to lure enemies individually... Holm opens his mouth when he thinks about it.

“There is one other characteristic of this country that is both advantageous and disadvantageous.”

Yeah?

"The magic... doesn't work."

"What do you mean?"

According to Holm, the mountain north of the Kingdom of Mitos caused a massive eruption thousands of years ago. Large quantities of volcanic ash have been released overhead, and the ashes that have been deposited have caused devastation to the surrounding countries. It is said that the damage caused by Mitos in particular is so great that 70% of the people in the country are said to have died.

Then something strange happened in this country. The magic has barely worked. It triggers, but says its effect is about one-tenth of normal. Moreover, it seemed to be proportional to the magnitude of the magic power, and the stronger the magic, the less effective it was.

"That's why low-ranking magic... for example, healing magic that heals wounds is effective, but it's not a good country to organize mages to fight in."

"It's a battle where magic can't be used..." Speaking of which, there was such a fight before. Is that... a battle with the Kingdom of Tana? "

The battle was certainly a tough one. It was no exaggeration to say that Lafayette and Owara had helped. Should I take the owlers with me this time?

"Battle against the Kingdom of Tana!" I know. Yes, I read in the literature that I not only intercepted the Tana army as I retreated, but also lured them to a magical location and destroyed them. Is that true? ”

Yeah, well, it's pretty much what it says.

Holm's eyes sparkled like a boy's. If you see it with such eyes, it will light up somehow.

“The tools used by the Tanas to contain their magic were made from the very ore caught in Mitos.”

"I see..." But it was strange. I wonder why it doesn't circulate around the world when there is an ore that has the effect of reducing magical effects. I just don't know? "

"No, the ore that reduces magic effects... it's Peejee, but it's hardly in circulation."

"Oh, why is that again?"

"It only works in Mitos."

What?

“I'm not sure why. Peugeot is a black stone, but when it leaves Mitos, it loses its effect. According to scholars, the mountain to the north of Mitos... it seems that there was some cause in the eruption of Mount Natadake in the past, but we don't know the details now."

"... I see. If Mei asks, he'll be happy to go and investigate."

I smile unexpectedly. Due to such a special environment, the Kingdom of Mitos was for a time considered a blessed land, but in recent years it has been denied. Apparently, there was interference from the Crimean state there.

"That's why the Kingdom of Mitos has long been free from interference from other countries." War with countries that can't use magic and can only be fought with meat bombs will exhaust soldiers. No one would like to fight a country like this. All of a sudden, it's being attacked by a neighboring country... I have no idea what it is. ”

Holm said that and put his arms together. I urged him to step back in a word of gratitude.

"... if Holm's formation is laid as expected, this is a siege with no ants coming out." If that happens, how can we help this country? ”

I kept looking at the map for a while.

How long has it been since I returned to myself with the sound of the door being knocked on? Matokar came in when I was prompted to enter.

Oh, Mato, what's wrong?

I've formed an army to rescue Mitos.

Having said that, she offered a piece of paper. It was marked with the name of the commander, the number of troops, the number of stations, etc.

"Huh? You don't have the names of the Holms."

Unintentionally raising his voice. He had already served in the army and thought that he might even serve as a forerunner as a guide, but Matkar said that he was going to take him as a stay-at-home officer.

"I'm definitely going to take you with me, but the enemy has a Sephardic Empire." Needless to say, his homeland. Some of the Seafunders will know each other, and some of them will be close relatives. If that happens, it will be difficult for Holm and the others to fight. "

Well, that's right, but isn't it another reason why Mato took off the holm?

……

"Aside from Holm, someone under his command might be able to tip off to the SafeFunds... is that it?"

"... that's Linus-sama." That's right. "

"I don't know how you feel, but I see that as unlikely." The reason for this is that Holm and the others owe nothing to Sefund. Rather, they want to make that country blow. I think it's a good opportunity to show you how good that country has lost its commander... isn't it? ”

No, if Lord Linus says so, I have nothing to say.

"I see.... oh, you should also look at the mat." A map of the Kingdom of Mitos written by Holm. It also says that the enemy formation is only Holm's guess, but I think it's quite worth it. "

Matokar stares at the map I'm offering.

"... yes, perhaps the enemy will lay such a siege." I pray that this will come out, but if the Imperial Army of the Sefands were to stand on this mountain, the relief would be even more troublesome. "

"... I see. After all, Mato is going from the west to the rescue."

“That's the most efficient. Have Heeda's military ship take control of Carutren's convoy, and in the meantime, either defeat the Safe Funds or sneak past them. If we can do that, we can rescue Mitos. However, the difficulty is that you can't use Linus-sama's magic....."

I put my arms around Matokar's words.
