The Strategist Knows Everything

Each other has fifty fights.

Perhaps Alfred, who has learned his sword since he was a young boy, is more skilled, but I am more responsive and more powerful when he comes out on different battlefields.

Eileen and Kensin were playing each other's battles at a high level, and me and Alfred were also playing each other's battles.

The battle between low-level people portrayed in comics or something invites laughter. Because the weak play muddy matches that are lacking in decision-makers.

But it's the first time I've seen it on my side.

The weak are desperate for the weak.

"Shit!"

Play the sword that has been aimed at the neck muscle with all your strength as you pound your tongue.

He plays the sword and waves as much sword as he wants from directly next to him toward Alfred, who is disfigured.

Alfred avoided it by laying low.

Me and Alfred's gaze crosses.

Alfred used the momentum to get up, shook his sword up, and I swung my sword one spin without stopping the momentum I shook beside him.

The sword and sword violently clashing.

If Kaguya saw it, he would dive into his eyebrows and treat his sword with more care.

The sword is made of metal.

Sometimes it breaks by impact, sometimes it stays bent.

Master Kaguya said that on the battlefield, no, because it was a battlefield, weapons had to be handled with care. Because if you lose your weapon, you lose the means to defend yourself. And the fact that there is no means of self-defence on the battlefield means death.

The sword is not like a knife.

A knife that maximizes sharpness is a weapon that requires a high level of skill on the part of the person handling it. But a sword is a weapon for slapping and slashing every armor in the hands of those who deal with it.

Even that Kaguya doesn't mean slashing armor with a knife. Not that you can't, but not choosing means that's all bad.

The sword, on the other hand, is made to slap and slash armor, so the body is thick and shock-resistant.

So swinging by force, as I do now, is not wrong from the concept of a weapon. No, but it could be wrong in the circumstances.

Anyway, neither I nor Alfred are wearing armor. If you plunder, that's the only damage you can do, so you don't have to shake it as much as you want.

Still, I'm waving my sword as much as I want. It's not like there's any intention there. Because that's how you stick to your body. When I use a sword, I shake it as much as I want.

Alfred and I played each other's swords, and to kill the momentum, Alfred and I took a few steps back.

I can see the sword screaming. As a weapon, my sword would be shorter.

What's more, I'm more drained of my health because I'm waving my sword as much as I want.

You always have to pay attention to your health on the battlefield. It's impossible to always be healthy, but it's because strength is essential to stay close to it.

So we must not do anything in vain. In other words, it saves energy.

But I haven't been able to do that.

In the extreme tension in front of the enemy, it is difficult to do something different than usual.

I didn't have the mental strength and skill to stop waving my sword at all costs and switch to an energy-saving tactic.

In the first place, before I got here, I was pretty drained. Fighting Lily was a couple of meetings, but it wasn't easy because there was a serious impending situation.

Weapons and health are close to their limit. If your health drops, naturally, your fighting power drops. If you lose your weapon, needless to say.

I mean, I'm more at a disadvantage.

I don't even have the choice to leave. But Alfred, who mistakenly thinks he's got Klarus, can't use magic on me, but not on any other soldier.

If anyone but me gets close to the detour, we'll have fewer allies and more enemies.

I feel like I should push it in numbers, but I can't imagine a soldier moving securely.

Situationally, it's best for me to fight.

So the choice to leave is a last resort.

Then we need to figure out how to win.

inferior with weapons, inferior with skill, inferior with health. Even if it is won by physical ability, physical ability also decreases with the consumption of physical strength.

Proof of this would be that the sword is being played. There is no power advantage already.

I have lost in many ways. You can't win a bump from the front.

If I had the skill at a time like this, I could mask the difference, but even that's up there.

Then the only way to win is to use your head.

Restore your calm.

Fighting is not an overall power comparison. No matter how disadvantageous it is, it is possible to recover it.

If you use the situation well and shake it with a rush, your opponent moves slowly.

Do I use anything but myself first?

"What are you going to do if you beat me?

Forcing the disturbed breath to lift the hips that were lowering.

I dared to solve the battle from myself.

And when he saw it, he lowered his sword, which Alfred had also erected, and his hips rose.

The benefit of rest is greater for me. Stretching is important for now.

"Dominate Albion. Needless to say, I suppose?

"You think Eileen can beat Kensin Sheba?

Looking at it as a chillary, Eileen was at a disadvantage.

Kenshin was on top even in combat, and Irene's weapon is not her favorite sickle. Kenshin, on the other hand, is a good fist of his own.

Being in the Eileen class, you can fight on quite a few levels, even if it's not your favorite weapon. In fact, the golem of Randall, the same four wise men, has been destroyed, and one leg of Randall has been taken by Irene.

However, if the opponent is the same or superior, it can be seen as a difficult difference.

"Aren't you going to lose?

"……… at least……… Eileen recognized you as Lord, didn't she? You're the only one in a mask."

"So what's up? You can't tell me what I'm trying to do and she'll cooperate, can you? So I manipulated it. What I want is not a knight who swears allegiance. An unopposed knight with overwhelming power."

"What's at its end? There's gonna be no one next to you, okay?

"Next to me? The people who serve beside me have been decided for a long time."

I can easily imagine the name of the next person to come out and I really don't like it.

Damn, it's a tricky one.

"Sophia Leesberg............ or

"That's right. A symbol of all the sorcerers. The supreme being beyond even the king! You deserve to serve beside me to be king of the continent!

"Samurai...... I guess your magic will force you to be a puppet? It's not a samurai, it's a mistake to let them."

"It's a detail. It's a determined future! The result is no different! Eileen's trying to lose here, all you have to do is manipulate Kenshin! If you die, I have no enemies!!

Alfred smiled warily. Is that smile the hallmark of the Stratos clan?

Health recovered considerably. The grip of a sword-shaking hand is also better than just now.

Alfred seems to think that the battle between Eileen and Kensin is completely irrelevant, but that's different.

"I can't think about it. I'll tell you one good thing."

"What?"

"Analyze the situation accurately. I'm the one with the bare hands, right?

"That's bullshit. You're the one being pushed."

"Naturally. I don't need to beat you. It's only a matter of time before Kensin Sheba beats Eileen. Until then, all I have to do is stand. Fine to win, but I think we should hurry up a little bit, okay? Kenshin Sheba with Klarus is a pain in the ass, isn't it?

That being said, the situation isn't in my favor that far.

There's no guarantee that Kensin can beat Eileen, and if you just look at me and Alfred fighting, it's true that Alfred's pushing.

But I don't have to teach you such a sober analysis.

Once you know the possibility, you won't be able to stay calm.

You must defeat me before Eileen can do it. If you care at all about that, that's fine with me.

"It's a pain in the ass indeed... so let's just have you die! Lily!!"

Lily, who had not even moved Pickle earlier, jumped and rushed into me.

I just can't do a boulder for such a cheap assault.

What you have in your hand is a dagger.

I twist my body and avoid the dagger.

It's just that Lily got between me and Alfred because of it.

I lost sight of Alfred for a moment.

Right or left.

Lily is forced to rebuild her position with the dagger protruding, trying to poke her with the dagger again.

In response to Lily, I may be late for a response to Alfred, but I can't just leave the pinch in front of me.

When I played the dagger with my sword, I felt a sense of crisis that Alfred was not coming from the right or the left.

Something is wrong.

When I thought so, Lily's body came forward unnaturally. It's as if someone pushed you.

Lily has a startled look on her face. No less than beating, I would have a stunned look on my face, too.

Lily and I stick together.

Now that I know what Alfred's up to, I jump to the right.

At the same time, a blade appeared in my sight.

The blade tore my left shoulder apart.

The pain runs with the blood, but the surprise to the sight in front of me is bigger than that.

"Stay... Sama...?

"If you could have caught me, I could have killed you... useless"

The blade of the sword grew from Lily's chest.

Alfred stabbed him from behind.

Alfred certainly doesn't think of people as people.

Lily is probably a pawn for Alfred, too, I thought, but I can't believe you used a kid who admires himself with his brother like this.

What Lily did is not acceptable. Like one Stratos beside Master Kaguya, Lilli must have been in the dark at Velis. So, for me, it's the guy to take down. I had no hesitation in killing him either.

But.

"... Alfred...! Assuming the one who speaks of the king does!?

"The winner is the king! With that wound, you won't be able to fight with satisfaction anymore, will you? Now I win!

The best thing to avoid is to avoid it, the sword has been dropped, and the wound on your left shoulder is deeper than you thought.

Just move it and the pain runs.

"I am the king!!

I try to avoid the sword being swung down, but my body doesn't move well.

There was nothing I could do but stare at the impending blade.

But the blade didn't come close enough to feel the crisis.

Something stopped me along the way.

"Please run away!!

Realizing that was Zach's defensive magic, I threw my body to the side desperately.

With the sound of broken glass, Zach's defensive magic collapses and the blade passes where I was until just now.

"You're a man of bad luck! You are!"

Again, Alfred, trying to attack me, felt something and turned around.

It must have been magic I felt. I can tell.

It is the throne that is emitting magic.

If you look, the Duke was standing up and pointing a giant fireball at Alfred.

"Alfred…… why…………"

"Father...... are you going to kill my real son?

"…… If you are my son, lower your sword and repent of your sins."

"What is my sin? We are trying to make this Albion a country that will dominate the entire continent! Is that a sin!?

"It is not...... I don't mind being ambitious. Even if sacrifices are made in the process, their good and evil shall be decided by future generations. That is so, because the winner is the king. But...... why did you even put your hands on those who admire you!? Don't you have feelings for people!?

"It's a noble sacrifice for me to be king. Lily was raised for that. I was born for it and have lived to this day. That's what“ stuff ”is. This is it.

As far as the status screen goes, Alfred doesn't use magic.

Do you think there is no way that a true father, the King, would attack you?

However, the colour of the Lord's eyes has gradually begun to change since the beginning of time.

Alfred can't notice that kind of change. Because I don't want to see it.

The Duke doesn't see you as his son anymore.

"At least...... I'll put my hands on it if I don't end it!!

A giant fireball was released towards Alfred.

Alfred managed to avoid the fireball, even with a startling look on his face.

But the fireball tracked Alfred and hit Alfred's right hand.

"Uhhh!!

"Knock, knights of Albion! Kill him! That person is no longer...... not even a person!!

The knights who had previously set aside their sights on the words of the Duke began to draw their swords.

Seeing that, Alfred, who was smiling at the pain in his right arm, recalled Eileen.

"Irene!!

Temporarily interrupting the battle with Kensin, Eileen entered between the knight and Alfred so as to protect Alfred.

"Hehe... haha... Enough is enough... let's give up now! Getting this country intact is!!

"You fools............ In this situation, do you still mean that……………………"

"You're the one who's stupid. Father, you pissed me off. From the beginning, this is a farce......! I can always get my country with strength!!

Alfred slowly retreats to the balcony between his glances.

The knights also move forward to keep pace with it, as Eileen also lowers.

"Yukito Clay! You did great! I'll give you a compliment! You were definitely my biggest enemy! But... think about it! He said the world has powers that can't be helped by smart measures!!

Alfred removed a flat-sized crystal from his clothing pocket and hoisted it in heaven.

I know you're willing to do something, but what are you willing to do in this situation?

I'm sure you're willing to do something that can change the situation.

"Don't make me do anything!

"It's too late! You should regret letting me use this! Today, this day! Albion, the capital of sorcery... is doomed!

A dark cloud covered the sky.

The thunder began to sound, and it began to rain.

Everyone on the spot would have felt that the phenomenon, which had suddenly occurred, was an ominous foretaste.

And that hunch became a reality.

"Gowwwwwwwwwwww!!!!"

I heard a scream from the sky shaking the earth.

The knights panicked and laughed out like Alfred had won.

"My... win!!

After that proclamation, the Lord of Screams gradually appeared from the sky.

It was the black beast that appeared to tear the dark clouds apart.

No, should it be like a monster or something?

I have wings, I have limbs. The face was such a face, like a snake based on different animal traits.

On Earth, creatures were the only ones with fairy tales, myths, and tales of creation.

"Dragon............!!

That spread its wings wide in the sky of Albion, and growled.
