Chapter 84-: Religious Army withdraws?

(TL By GUST)

"--Is the religious army withdrawn?"

Pron Rizant, the owner of a large trading company based in Bifröst, was surprised at the report with his eyes wide open.

The man who brought the report was Sol, the decree of the Rizant family. He is a childhood friend of a family who has served the Rizant family for generations, and is known for his confidant spirit.

However, Pron, who heard the report in the office, could not easily believe Sol's words.

"Yes, it seems certain that the religious forces that had been stationed before the Caladbolg fortress retreated to the remote city of Lokasenna."

"Why?"

The Religious Army has already been fighting for months to capture the Caladbolg Fortress.

In the wilderness where there is no place to hide, you must be wary of the Holy Beast Basilisk against the Vanaheimr Army in a robust fortress.

It's usually a harsh and reckless invasion.

As long as the religious army does not tamper with the tactics and invades in a straightforward manner, it will take years to capture. Even though we have continued to make good progress so far, the exhaustion of the religion should not be foolish.

Nevertheless, it is the religion that can fight head-on with force.

There is not much difference in terms of national land, but the difference in the land governed is too great. Most of the land of the religion is fertile land, and most of the land of Vanaheim is dead wilderness or desert.

There was a considerable difference in national power between the two.

As a matter of fact, the religion rarely tampers with tactics in war.

Because there is no need for that.

Still, the invasion of Vanaheim has been struggling for years.

In particular, the remote city of Lokasenna has been repelling the invasion of the religion for several years.

The reason was a few warriors.

Warriors who have gone through many battles, gained levels, acquired skills, and honed their skills sometimes become genuine Ikki Tousen heroes.

It's like a miracle that has accumulated strength without losing its life in the middle of the battle, but it's possible to search all over the world.

Garland is one of those warriors.

The werewolf mercenaries he led continued to play an active role in the Lokasenna defense. The hero actively sided with Vanaheim because of his personal grudge against the religion. He is incredibly devoted from a mercenary standpoint.

Pron had previously been blessed with the opportunity to get acquainted with Garland and had heard of it.

However, the religion could not have been silent after being drunk with boiling water.

Valus Taijukai, which borders the Archdiocese of the Northern Religion of Iko. There was information that the werewolves living in the deep forest were persecuted and slaughtered.

As a result, Garland's mercenary corps decided to leave Lokasenna to save his compatriots.

Pron thinks that the slaughter of werewolves is not necessarily a move to keep Garland away from Lokasenna, but it is very likely.

Because the information reached Lokasenna, which was supposed to be far away, too soon. The information was too detailed and backed up. It seemed that the religion had deliberately disseminated information in order to surely lure Garland.

Regardless of the truth of the information, after Garland's mercenary corps left Lokasenna, the religion invaded at once. As a result, Lokasenna fell and was occupied by the religion.

That happened a few months ago.

The religion cannot miss the opportunity for Garland to disappear.

I don't know if they're trying to get rid of the Garlands individually, but the religion immediately took this opportunity to take on the Caladbolg fortress, even though the Lokasenna capture wasn't enough to recover its exhaustion. .. Pron also felt the impatience of wanting to capture the Caladbolg fortress while there was no one in the way.

That's why.

Now that we don't know when Garland and his friends will come back, it's hard to believe that we'll stop the strategy. I can't dispel the suspicion that I'm trapping something.

"What is the movement of the religion that has retreated?"

When asked, the excellent confidant answered immediately.

"Nothing is noticeable. It's just gradually recovering its strength by supplying from the home country."

"Hmm ... Didn't you give up on the Caladbolg fortress?"

"Of course"

Have you entered a stage where exhaustion cannot be ignored?

Or-is it no longer necessary to hurry?

(Garland ...)

I can't imagine the sight of that man being easily defeated. However, if the latter is the reason for the religion's retreat, it is possible that something happened to him.

"Wait?"

There, Pron suddenly realized that he had not heard why the religion had retreated.

"Are you grasping the reason for the withdrawal of the religion?"

"I don't know the exact place ..."

As expected, Sol did not seem to know the exact inside of the enemy. However, for the time being, he seems to be grasping what seems to be the reason, and gives a report on the recent battle against Caladbolg fortress.

"The supplies we sent seemed to be particularly useful. Especially the Wyvern armor, the flash marimo, and the power of the spirits. General Draco decided to turn to the offensive and went to the enemy base. I heard that it was about to attack at night. This caused a great blow to the religious army and forced it to withdraw. "

The war with the religion is long.

Already many years ago, troops have been dispatched to this remote area, and it is General Draco Fabnil, one of Vanaheim's generals, who is commanding the Caladbolg Fortress.

"What!? ... I'm brave ... I'm probably one of the royal family."

Pron can't hide his surprised but dismayed feelings in Sol's report.

The Fabnil family is the royal family in Vanaheim, and General Draco is at the end of it. It is a decision that could kill one's own life if he is not good at it, such as turning to an offensive in the current situation where he was only defensive.

"Well, I'm a royal family."

"... Yeah, because it's royalty."

However, the Fabnil royal family is famous for being bloody as it only bundles many beast races. To be honest, I would like you to stop as a subject, but sometimes the Fabnil royal family chooses to slash with the enemy at the forefront of the battlefield.

Well, anyway,

"Is the supplies from the elves and dwarves useful? This really doesn't make me crazy."

Pron decided that he received it, or bought it at a reasonable price, but in reality it was 

close to the relief supplies from them.

Not long ago, I had to sell food to dwarves who had trouble eating. Just because it reconciles with the elves and joins them, I don't think it will be easy enough to sell food and other supplies in reverse.

(No, in the first place)

If true, there is almost no need to sell.

If they can be self-sufficient in food, they don't need to make money in the first place. They live in an unexplored region in the mountains that has no value such as gold.

Therefore, Pron saw that their purpose in buying and selling Magic Bags and others was to support Vanaheim, not money.

Recalling the appearance of the forest gods and spirits who often visit the company, Pron gives a light gratitude.

"So? What and how did it help?"

"Well ... do I need to report on Flash Marimo?"

"No, I know about that."

In fact, Pron has also confirmed the performance of the new plant, Flash Marimo, which is said to have been created by Morigami. It can be said that it is a consumable item that produces a tremendous flash of light with a very small amount of magical power as a detonator. The amount of light was so great that there was even a risk of blindness when viewed directly.

If General Draco launched a night attack, there is only one use.

"What about Wyvern armor?"

"Yes. Is this because it is a biological material? It has a very strong ability to absorb shocks and seems to be effective against new weapons of the religion. At least if it hits armor or shield, it will only be a fracture at worst. It seems. "

"Well, that's amazing. No way, the Wyvern material has such characteristics ..."

One of the new weapons of the religion.

It is a magic tool that shoots lead balls at high speed with magical power.

Vanaheim has also captured some of them and is proceeding with analysis, but it has not yet been reproduced. The reason is that it is difficult to analyze the rune technology of the religion. If the current magic technology is used instead, it will become large. Not only magical technique but also high metallurgical technique is required. And for many beastmen, the weapon is "weak" because it costs a lot of money.

The new weapon of the religion is a powerful weapon, but its power is uniform.

For example, if you are a recruit, there is no way to do it with a lead ball that is shot out, but if you are a skilled soldier with a higher level, it is difficult to avoid it at the right timing from the direction of the weapon to be aimed at, or to prevent it with magic. do not have.

If you're a strong man like Garland who has taken a step outside, you can avoid it after seeing the lead ball, or even if you hit it in the first place, it won't cause much damage.

From the weak's point of view, it's an extremely powerful weapon, but from the strong's point of view, it's a weapon that can't be helped.

However, if it can be mass-produced, it can be made into a strong soldier as soon as it is given to a weak soldier, and the force can be made uniform. It would be a useful weapon for a religion with only humans.

Vanaheimr, who has been suffering from this weapon for many years, can understand the annoyance of this weapon.

However, it is possible to counter it with Wyvern armor, albeit to some extent ...

(Did you know that?)

The Wyvern material is effective against the new weapons of the religion.

If so, I'm convinced that he sold such a Wyvern material.

Why are there so many wyverns? I was wondering, but it was because of this.

(If so, who knew it?)

Morigami-sama ... I don't think so.

I don't think I have that kind of knowledge because I've just replaced it and I'm too young.

Then is it someone of an elf or a dwarf?

No, Pron thinks that isn't the case. If he was a dwarf, he couldn't have told him that fact until now, and if the elf knew it, he would have been used in the war at Alveheim.

Therefore, Pron is intuitive.

(After all, that spirit-sama ...)

He called himself a forest spirit.

In addition, by analyzing the leaves of the spirit tree that Pron bought, he also grasps that the rank of the spirit is "spirit forest tree".

Usually, the time required for a tree to reach that rank is ridiculously long. Without the help of the elves, it is natural that they will die before reaching that rank.

(I've never heard of a spirit like that, but I'm sure he's been living a terrible number of years. If so, his intellect and knowledge cannot be measured by me ...)

In the first place, the fact that there is a "spirit forest tree" other than Alveheim was the first time I heard it.

Perhaps the elves were deliberately hiding it.

Just in case of an emergency, such as the destruction of Alveheim.

If there is a "spirit forest tree", the reconstruction of Alveheim may be faster than expected.

"--Husband?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Nothing."

Called by Sol, he interrupts his thoughts.

"I understand the Wyvern material, so what was the effect of the remedy?"

Remedy.

It is a magical medicine created by Vanaheim's alchemists using the leaves of the spirit forest tree as a material.

It is still too valuable at present because it requires an order of magnitude more material, and I have not seen the scene where Pron actually used it. From the results of the analysis, I predict the effect, but ...

"Yes, it seems that it has become a magic drug with a site defect regeneration level."

"Is that so?"

While nodding to the expected answer, the excitement cannot be suppressed.

Thanks to the destruction of Alveheim by the idiots of the religion, the leaves of the spirit tree have barely been available for the past few years, but the leaves of the spirit forest tree have not been available.

The power of the material is very different between the leaves of the spirit tree and the leaves of the spirit forest tree.

The leaves of the spirit forest tree are indispensable for the material of the magic drug to treat the site defect, and the current situation is that the only way to treat the site defect is to rely on high-level healing magic.

And there is no such thing as a healer who can heal a site defect.

"When I administered it to a seriously injured soldier, it seems that it was possible to return to the front the next day. This seems to have given spiritual medicine mainly to high-level soldiers, and returned to the front one after another and forced a night attack. is not it"

"Hmm ... could the night attack be carried out without the remedy?"

"It wouldn't have been possible, because, by the time we delivered the remedy to Caladbolg, it was pretty exhausting."

"I see. Then ... Is it because you guessed the actual situation of the fortress that you sold your leaves to us?"

Wyvern material. Flash Marimo. The leaves of the spirit forest tree.

I feel that everything is connected to give a blow to the religion. Pron thought that it wasn't strange that it was all as the spirits expected.

"It seems that it is not a lie or a trap that the religion army was hit hard and withdrew ..."

"That's right. I think so."

I wonder if Sol had the same opinion, nodding deeply.

Still, the threat of the state religion is still domestic, and it is certain that they have not given up.

"I hope Garland is back with this ..."

With a little expectation, Pron muttered.

TL Note-: That is the case in the pron.
