The Strategist Knows Everything

Chapter III Awakening 6

"Consolidated Sorcery and the Sun (Saul Suktum)"

A long man standing between the imminent flames and us murmured so in a low voice.

A huge circular shield appeared in front of the man and took the flaming brace that Gwaigan had thrown out.

[The Sun (Saul Sukhtum). The Hardest Consolidated Defensive Magic in Albion Developed by Four Sages Kenshin Sheba]

A man who was running around the city finally arrived to drive the warcraft into the city of Albion.

"I apologize for the delay. Dear Sophia, are you hurt?

"It's okay. My apologies for not being in Albion during the confusion."

Sophia lowers her head to Kensin.

Kenshin loosened his stern face slightly and nodded softly, quickly shifting his gaze to Gwaigan.

"We have to somehow pull that black dragon away from Albion. If you knock it down, you won't complain, but it'll be just as tough."

"Right. In arrows and weakly powerful sorcery, you'll be bounced by that scale. Except for concatenated sorcery, we lack decision-makers."

I looked sharply at Gwaigan as Sophia and Kensin talked about it.

Whether Gwaigan is the recoil of a series of flaming braces, or is he watching how this one comes out, he doesn't move while looking at this one.

When it comes to giving me time, it's convenient.

For that matter, this one can get ready for battle.

"Yukito's brother!

Knox's main unit infiltrated the Albion, stopping near the walls of the Albion.

Roy, who was at the head of it, waves out loud.

"Roy's the same."

"Yes. I can't stop being noisy anywhere"

As I grinned at Micah's spicy words, the magicians of Albion continued to come.

And some of them looked like Zach.

"Zach! Are you all right!?

"Yes, thanks to you, I have managed to satisfy five bodies."

Zach smiled lightly and said so, but there were abrasions all over his body and everywhere.

Even if the body is satisfied, it is not so much intact.

Well, I got caught in the storm the dragon caused, so naturally.

"We almost defeated the Warcraft that entered the city of Albion. The main entrance will be closed soon."

"If we do something about him, we're done."

I shifted my gaze to Gwaigan and glanced over my shoulder.

Covered with a blackish scale, Gwaigan emitted an unspeakable sense of intimidation.

"I feel like it's just useless to ask...... can you do something about it?

"That's a tough fight right now. Knox won't be the deciding factor in the first place because of the lack of impact. Even if it can be used to move or direct, the point of the attack is to become the magicians of Albion."

"The magicians of Albion are quite numerous, but in terms of quality, there are many who are quite open to those on the front line."

Randall appeared on the walls of the castle aboard the golem he had created with earthly sorcery.

He said he lost one leg, but he looks a lot better.

Zach bowed his head respectfully to Randall like that and took a step back.

I don't suppose you're interested in talking about me and Randall.

"Do you have a plan?

"The Wind Mages have already sent reinforcements to each side of the army. In a few days, the main force of the Albion army will arrive here, so we'll do everything we can to endure it."

"You're almost wiped out in a few days. You can bet."

"Bye. However, there is a slight chance of survival if the battle of the castle is fought with all its dying power. But if you strike it out, it won't even be possible. You don't seem to have a choice, do you?

Emphasizing the word to Non, Randall looked at me.

Its eyes ask.

If there's anything else you can do, say it quickly.

But like Randall, I thought I had no other choice but to defend myself.

However, I didn't intend to wait for a few days.

"I don't know if it's going to be a castle fight, but in the meantime, the only way to turn to the guards is in the present situation. No choice."

"In the meantime, does that mean we're going to shift to offense somewhere?

"Yeah. For once, there's someone who promised to come to reinforcements. I don't know when you're coming, but I was wondering if I could count on you."

"It's lamentable. Does Albion's fate depend on reinforcements who don't even know his name?"

Behind words, Randall did not show any groaning gestures.

He must know that there is only hope.

In the first place, Black Dragon Gwaigan is an opponent that Albion doesn't know if he can win by mentioning all his armies.

Even if the army arrived on each side, half of it would be shredded if it did not have the means to prevent the earlier braces.

What is required now is more quality than quantity.

The more damage they do to the dragon, the more magicians they need to be able to use powerful magic.

Consolidated magic by the great army would be powerful and could do damage to the dragon, but Gwaigan would not be foolish enough to give us that gap.

"Mikana. Tell Roy and the others to enter the Albion through the main entrance. Sir Randall, let's consolidate our defenses. That's all we can do now."

"Got it. Well, that's not Kenshin's job."

"Got it."

Nodding at Micah's voice of understanding, I looked over at the magicians on the walls.

There is no alternative to defense, but the local power is too different between dragons and people in the first place.

How many of us here will use our magic to prevent dragons from looking into their other unloved little hands?

Long-term battles are clearly unfavourable. Even children know that fighting itself, rather than fighting, would be better.

But they're dragons who can't negotiate. And because of stupid people, they hurt my pride, and I should be angry.

I can't leave the other side and let this one get done irresistibly.

When that happens, there is no other way but to fight.

The outline of a single request is the ancient species Elfin and Lelfa.

Lelfa has taken the word, and if Lelfa enters, Elfin will not be able to determine the static.

Besides, Albion is a city created by the disciples of Elfin.

Elfin has been watching such albions for hundreds of years. I can't imagine overlooking this crisis.

"Will you do as much as you can?"

As I shrugged and turned my shoulders gently, I glanced at the black dragon.

■ ■ ■

Dragon roar. Dragon wings.

Dragons are irrational beings who can damage people just by moving.

The roar easily smashes even the heart of a ready warrior, and the feathering blows the armored man like paper.

Because the flame braces were found to be prevented, Gwaigan has launched an attack on us that does not rely on the flame braces.

"You mean you want to avoid futile shooting if you can..."

That's what I shrugged after I survived the storm created by the wings with Zach's defensive magic.

"If we were given the greatest combined magic power in a row, this wouldn't be the place to be."

"Right. It's like packing at a time when only two people can prevent it."

The center of the castle wall.

By many magicians, I saw Sophia being protected.

Now to stop Gwaigan from flying, he concentrates on the magic of the wind.

The distance between the walls and Gwaigan is quite open.

I guess it's just a distance that won't be a problem for Gwaigan, but this one doesn't either.

To inhibit movement, to attack, Sophia relies on it.

Well, I only went on the offense once, and then I'm supposed to be focused on defense all the time.

"The masters and brothers will also be starting to get tired of the boulders."

Kenshin, who is ahead of Zach's gaze, is not on the table because of his expression, but he is sweating less.

Breezes, shockwaves, growls.

To minimize the damage caused by Gwaigan, Kenshin and his disciples have used defensive magic many times since earlier.

Fatigue was beginning to accumulate in Sophia and Kensin, who needed it.

As it is, the two of us will do everything we can before we prevent that flaming brace.

"I screwed up…….."

Squeeze, try to concentrate on Gwaigan.

My eyes would have turned faintly golden.

Because I had just woken up to magic, it was fully activated and let go, but I was finally able to switch on and off in moderation.

But that doesn't make any good news.

"Can't you see anything…………"

Even my magical eyes can't peek into Gwaigan's past.

Is it the characteristic nature a dragon possesses, or is it just for Gwaigan?

Past vision doesn't work properly because of powerful magic wrapped around your body.

"I know it's a place like the crystal in your abdomen that emits magic, but that doesn't help..."

"I feel like a weakness from looking over there, what do you think?

"Well, it would definitely be easier to attack than a place covered in hard scales. Plus, if you're going to move that giant, you're going to need a ton of magic.

There is an enormous amount of magic in that crystal-like place. It's like a reservoir and control organ. "

"I couldn't even scratch one of Sophia's wind sorceries."

Zach dropped his shoulder and shrugged.

During the first attack, I instructed Sofia to aim for that crystal.

The giant kamaitachi made by Sophia became foggy in an instant as she approached the crystal.

"Is it something like powerful defensive magic?"

"No, I'm not. Kamaitachi fogged, but the wind did not stop flowing"

"What do you mean?

"I think you absorbed the magic that shapes the kamaitachi. Then there is an explanation for not stopping the wind flow that was already gaining momentum.

Though there is no basis. "

"That's a word not to be overheard by a magician. Doesn't that mean an attack by sorcery from a distance doesn't make sense?"

"In the meantime, I'm pretty sure the attack on the crystal part will be nullified. However, if you see that Sophia creates strong winds that restrict movement, the effect would be only near the crystal.

It's just a breeze, as long as the magic is wiped out. It will not be an obstacle for the dragon. I guess I didn't do it earlier because I couldn't. "

Since just now, Gwaigan has repeatedly tried to head over the sky.

Perhaps he is aiming for a descent from the sky or a blackout by a flaming brace.

I know it will wear out, and I keep letting Sophia inhibit my movements because it is very awkward to be done with it.

Flame braces from the horizontal direction are easy to prevent, but flame braces from the unsightly sky are difficult to prevent.

It would make a small sacrifice.

Plus, if we allow ourselves to enter the sky, we'll give them freedom of attack over there.

The other side can storm out of the sky whenever you want, and this one has to be on guard all the time.

Moreover, it doesn't mean that Gwaigan will launch an attack on this wall.

There's only a minimum of personnel elsewhere as we concentrate our efforts here.

"For a few days at this rate, you'll be wiped out in one day."

"Don't say ominous things...... Consider a one-shot reversal if you are a great military teacher on the continent."

"With our current power, we've decided to lose before we fought. If there's never been a victory or defeat, there's nothing you can do about it."

"Don't feel sorry for me..."

"Well, if you're in a hurry, you can't help it. All we can do now is maintain the status quo. If it's not worse than it is now, we can all do something about it."

When I shrugged, the crystal in Gwaigan's abdomen began to dazzle.

It must be a bad sign, and I didn't have to see it with my magical eyes.

And when the brightness was over, there were more than a hundred small organisms around the Gwaigan.

It would be similar to the summons Fio makes.

The small organism is about the size of a person's child, but its shape was rightly dragon.

"Is that where the little Gwaigan... That one on the boulder is awkward. Zach! Get the Knox crew under the walls!

Finally, besides the magician, you're turning around!

I'm guessing Gwaigan is looking to use that little dragon to get rid of Sophia and Kenshin who are in the way.

But that's not going to happen.

"Mikana! Protect Sophia!

"But then Yukito's escort will be gone."

"The Roys will be here soon. Please."
