The Strategist Knows Everything

The emergence of the dragon plunged the castle into mayhem.

And while his gaze was focused on the dragon, Alfred and Irene, and Miriam, got away with it.

Crystal balls used by Alfred. Think that one summoned the dragon, you're sure.

If you can do something insane about manipulating dragons, you don't have to do anything about it.

Do you have the help of someone or the help of tools? Or both.

Either way, it was Alfred who called the dragon.

If we don't find Alfred, we can't stop the dragon.

However.

"Black Dragon…… Gwaigan………"

The knight nearby looked stunned and muttered so.

Having a name would mean that something has happened with Albion in the past.

My skills activated and the screen came out in front of me.

[Black Dragon Gwaigan. One of the five colored dragons that inspired the demise of the Kingdom of Rhodinia, which was uniting the continent. Once every few decades, it enters a period of active activity and is known as a dragon raging around Albion territory]

This is what brought the big guy here again.

The Kingdom of Rhodinia, which ruled the continent. The dragon that inspired its demise.

It is unclear how civilized and how military the Kingdom of Rhodinia was, but it is the position that dominated the continent. I would have had a lot of power.

I saw Gwaigan stopping it in the air.

The whole body is covered in black scales, not covered in scales are spheres like bright red crystals like blood on the chest and about red eyes and wings.

I care about that red sphere in my chest, but my skills don't activate.

Do you mean you're still skilled?

It would be easier if it evolved into magic.

"Strong contract without…………."

Whimpering, I turned my back on my heels.

Now I just have to do what I can.

Alfred had a mouthful that he didn't want to use.

That's probably because it's not like you can control the power of a giant dragon. So you should want to refrain from attacking Albion as much as possible.

If you can get it for a small amount of damage, you don't think you've ever gone beyond that.

I see Lily falling for a moment.

I don't breathe anymore.

A pitifully exploited woman.

Because I used people, they used me to kill me. Speaking of which, it's easy, but I can't help but feel sorry for you.

It's just a sentiment.

Now is not the time to be immersed.

"Your Majesty. I have a question I would like to ask."

"……… What?

"Where is the most defensive building in this Albion?

"... this castle. I hear he didn't even freak out if he wore Gwaigan's braces in the past. I wonder if it's true."

His Majesty sees the Gwaigan floating in the sky and squeals.

Indeed, if you look at the giant Gwaigan with as many castles, the story is hard to believe as it is in Russia.

However.

"Let's evacuate the people to this castle."

"Wait. Clay. Alfred doesn't want to do as much damage as he can to Albion. So wait for people to concentrate in one place"

"It's above my knowledge. You know there's no other way to do this, right? Even if it's what he thinks it is, we can't abandon the people."

"Hmmm... I know what you're trying to say... but the unexpected castle of reinforcements is a lower strategy. Shouldn't we be evacuating this place from Albion?

His Majesty the King uttered a word of courage.

That means renouncing the capital city of Albion.

But I wouldn't struggle if you'd let me do it honestly.

"Also, report from Findings! They say the main gate of Albion is opening and the Warcraft is pouring in from the outside!!

"Shit! It moves fast!!

They took the lead. If a warcraft enters through the main gate, the people will flee for the castle.

In that case, what we are waiting for is mayhem.

Resistance in tissue becomes impossible, and all humans here, feed on dragons.

Alfred's movement is too smooth.

From the beginning, did the Warcraft intend to draw into this Duchy? No matter how much, there's no way the Warcraft is waiting near the front gate.

But you should also see the Warcraft as being manipulated.

Warcraft are animals, too. With such a dragon in the sky, a survival instinct wouldn't allow you to like it and approach Albion.

"Fuck! I don't know what else to do! Open the castle and evacuate the people! If we open up the basement too, we'll have quite a few people in!

Everyone rushes to the decision of the King.

Move now, I don't know how many people I can save, but I can't save anyone if I don't move.

That's what I thought, and Zach stopped me from trying to get out of there.

"Lord Clay! Where are you going!?

"Build a line of defense by putting together Albion's Wall Guards, security forces, and others who are confused without knowing the situation. If we can buy a little time, that's all we can do to save the people."

"It's impotent! I can't believe you're out there without knowing when the dragon in the sky will move!

"So you abandon those who are confused outside? Do you pretend not to see the people fleeing? I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm not here to defeat this country, I'm not here to be a hostage. I'm here to save people in this country. "

"You are a person of Velis……. You're just gonna go outside and risk your life, right? Do you need to go that far………?

"As we hunted down Alfred, we got a hold of him. That's all I'm responsible for. Besides, there are more dragons up there than there are."

Zach bit his lips and closed his eyes.

I'm done talking.

I can't spend too much time here.

If you're a second late, that's all people die.

"I'll give you that."

That's what they called me from behind.

It would be Zach who spoke up. But there are too many footprints left after me just for Zach.

Looks like he had quite a taste for things.

Honestly, Zach, who is hurting his flank, honestly, he can't count on it as much as he would normally.

But.

"It helps."

Now it is a situation that must be used even with such marginal force.

■ ■ ■

It was just a big mess out there.

The people were pushing near the gates of the castle, and it was growing.

"Now, what do we do? Don't be hit by a tsunami of people the moment you open the gate."

"Can't you come up with a plan for the habit of a military teacher?

I let out a sigh in words hung from behind.

Looking at Chirali, Kenshin brought his apprentice and walked over here.

"Please say something like that after it helps"

"Then let's do it."

So, Kenshin suddenly jumped and stuck in the air.

At first I wondered if it was floating, but it didn't seem so.

"Defensive magic hardens magic. That application hardened the magic in the air."

"It's very convenient."

Hearing Zach's explanation, and concerned, Kenshin uttered a heavy word.

"Calm down!!

It was so loud that I thought my tympanic membrane might tear.

When I was talking earlier, I was whispering so loud that I found it hard to hear.

Hearing the shout, the people calmed down just a little.

"Open the castle gate now. Of course, to protect everyone. So I want you to calm down and follow these instructions. Even if a dragon brace comes, I'll prevent it. Don't worry."

Oh, my God. Well, it's something big.

Dragon braces.

I don't know what kind of principle that would spit it out, but if it was my imaginary thing, it would probably be like witchcraft, spitting it out using the magic power in my body.

The magic hidden in that giant must be something I can't even imagine.

The power of the braces that are thrown out with it shouldn't be something that a person can take alone.

But the people believed in it.

People believe what they want to believe. Especially if they're cornered.

Not a good trend, but it helps now.

The castle gate opened and walked backwards next to the people slowly entering the castle, and we headed towards the main gate.

Since the main entrance opened, time has not yet passed.

Warcraft should be near the main gate.

"Anyway, I want to withdraw the troops near the main entrance. Sporadic resistance is pointless in this situation."

"Right. It just seems like a lot of troops understand that."

That's what Zach shrugged as he looked around.

There are quite a few men in armor fleeing with the people.

I understand the situation. I'm just having trouble deciding if it's a retreat or if I'm just running away from too much fear.

Those who were guiding the evacuation of the people have joined us, so we are now heading to the main gate for about thirty of us. A little to deal with the Warcraft, it's not enough numbers, so I want you to join those who are on the run.

But cowardice is contagious. Given that, is it negative to add those who are fleeing?

"I knew I needed firepower to defeat or retreat a dragon. I want the most senior magician to retreat as quickly as possible."

Near the main entrance, there has been a small explosion since earlier.

The smokescreen is up, and it won't be a Warcraft attack.

If we look at the whole thing, where we have stopped the Warcraft, it will not be a fundamental solution.

If you don't do something about being up there, it's water on the burning stone.

"Could it not be abandoned……………"

But I know what it's like to try to stop the Warcraft.

All the more so if those to be protected in front of you are sacrificed.

Looking at the location, is it the castle wall defense team that is resisting?

The place where they stick will mean tentative frontlines.

However.

As I was running, I saw a warcraft forward.

There is still a distance to the main entrance.

Not so many, but the fact that there are warcraft so far means that the troops near the main gate are completely isolated.

"Is it dangerous to go any further with your current power? Make this place a line of defense. Zach! Stop the Warcraft with defensive magic. There must still be troops around. We'll gather around here!

As I give instructions to those around me, I look around.

I don't see Alfred.

I can't help but pay attention to my invisible enemies, but I still have to be vigilant.

Plus, the enemy you have to be most vigilant about is not Alfred.

"Don't move…………"

Looking up, I whispered.

■ ■ ■

By absorbing the surrounding troops, we were succeeding in building defensive lines.

This is an emergency.

There was no such thing as a commander caring about someone. No, should anyone who cares say they escaped?

Without complaining about my instructions, the soldiers of Albion were desperately engaged with the Warcraft.

"Left! Intercept with magic!

But that was getting closer to the limit, too.

It is time to escape. The people and soldiers have become invisible.

Continued defensive lines here would be the limit.

Confirming that the fireball destroyed the four-legged Warcraft, I told everyone to retreat.

"Retreat for all! Run to the castle at full speed!

The instructions were executed immediately.

Warcraft feet are fast. But the invasion wasn't that fast.

He must be attacking someone who has missed the escape.

It's hard to imagine Alfred making me do it. Even over time, Alfred has no gain.

Even if we can call the Warcraft and make them execute simple orders, we can't make them execute complicated instructions.

For example, if you can order people to attack you, you can't designate an individual, or something like that?

It's not even salvation, but thanks to it, we can retreat.

Thinking about it, I felt uncomfortable and looked up at the sky.

The identity of the discomfort was a sense of oppression.

There was a black dragon Gwaigan over our heads when we started retreating.

"Hide in the shadows!

I didn't know if it would help, but in the meantime, I gave instructions to do so.

It's better than falling into a state of panic.

It was divided into those who could have done it, those who did not, and those who stopped their legs and could not do it.

But they were all, equally, blown away by a gust of black dragon Gwaigan feathers.

■ ■ ■

When I woke up, I was in a crumbling building.

I don't remember entering the building, so I guess I stumbled into the building when it was blown up.

My whole body hurt, but luckily, I managed to wake up my body.

Look around, but I don't know where this is in Albion.

"Damn......"

I could wake up my body. But I don't get the energy to stand up.

If you look up at the sky, the black dragon was releasing an overwhelming presence.

The dark clouds covering the sky seemed to represent my feelings over here.

"... what can I do..."

Not very much, but I can't think of a hand to crack this situation open.

If you take the total attack of Albion, no matter how many dragons, you will retreat. Normally.

But now Alfred is manipulating me. We cannot expect a retreat.

The manipulator Alfred has disappeared.

I stabbed him wrong, but I should have killed Alfred.

The moment Alfred takes advantage of Lily, if only I had pierced Alfred every Lily.

It's too late to regret it. The situation is already close to the worst.

Bite your lips and drop your gaze.

But suddenly there was a strong wind, so I looked up at the sky again.

There was a shining light in the dark clouds.

It seems like a mysterious light shining in the night sky.

That at the next moment, it erased all the dark clouds and showed a sun-like glare.

A girl as mysterious as the moon, as dazzling as the sun, was floating in front of a dragon.

"Sophia............!?

blackdragon Gwaigan raised a loud roar, as he intimidated an unscrupulous human
