*************************************
Once the admiral general returned to the front, he withdrew from his storage ring a hollow staff and pointed it skyward. At the same moment the magic flare burst in the air, the admiral gave the final order...
The order that would start everything.
"Attack!!!" Dorian Aranis shouted.
"OOOOHHHH!!!"
The entire army moved as one without any mistake or hesitation.
While advancing along with the military division of archers, I asked myself a question.
'Why hasn't anything strange happened around me?'
I was hoping that by activating the [Luck] profile, my life might be a little easier or that at least someone would take revenge for me. Which brings me back to the following question.
'Why haven't I had any luck despite having the [Luck] profile active?'
"Hey! This isn't your place! Go back to your military division!" shouted some archers.
"Watch out!!!"CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
1 minute after the Admiral General's order.
"Die, Golden Archer!"
Armand Teninse was attacked by two subjects coming from another military division, or rather appearing to be one.
"General Armand!!!"
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
In just a second, the men stabbed the general while the military division of archers fired at them point blank, dozens of arrows embedding themselves in the bodies of the spies.
As soon as everyone came to their senses, golden particles surrounded the three men. Only their remnants remained in place.
[Remnant]
[Armand Teninse] [Magical Archer Lvl 20]
They mistook him for me, that's why he died.
'So that's how my luck acted this time, covering me so that no one would discover my identity.'
Emir and Hernan looked at the situation without meddling. Both are strangers to the military division of archers. Even when Emir was inducted into the military division by the admiral general, in the hearts of the soldiers, he did not belong here.
And even though Hernan and Armand were said to be sworn brothers, if he appears, now a strange switch may be flipped in the archers' minds.
Because of this, neither of them wanted to go near the scene of the crime to avoid being branded as criminals in the excitement of the moment.

"Die, Bloody Sword!"
"Die, One-Eyed Knight!"
"Die, Stone Axe!"
Samael changed completely when he had a son, and he changed even more when he got a grandson. While with the first one he was strict, with the last one it's the opposite.
Dorian: "Half-Moon blade!"
Samael: "Half-Moon blade!"
For a second, their swords were surrounded by a bluish aura, and then they swung their sword in the air. The bluish aura in the shape of a crescent moon, each measuring 3 meters long, was thrown from them at high speed.
When both magics collided...
*Boom*
They exploded when they couldn't overpower each other, generating a crater in the center.
"Split up! Don't interrupt the Admiral General's battle!"
"Yes, General!"
The generals of the military divisions of both armies instructed their men to give space to the two leaders. As a result, there are hundreds of meters around with no one; the only exception is the pair of Magic Knights in the center.
Seconds later, the armies met face to face and began full scale warfare.
***
"Archers! Fire!!!"
'Activate profile [Strenght].'
From the storage ring given by Commander Cael, I withdrew a common arrow and fired it at the same time as the others.
*Fwoosh* *Swosh* *Swosh* *Swosh* *Swosh*
Practically 10 thousand arrows were shot at the same time, thanks to which my shot failed to distinguish itself from the rest.
*FSS* *FSS* *FSS* *FSS*
But an extraordinary event happened when the arrows met in the air. The brazier positioned in front of me gave its fire to the arrows, causing the 10 thousand arrows to be temporarily imbued with fire! And not only that, but it gave them enough momentum to travel all the way to the enemy army!
'Holy Solus! Seeing so many flaming arrows practically caused the sky to be dyed red-... No, that red color didn't come from the arrows. It came from far away...'
"Enemy Attack!!!! Tower Brigade, raise your shields!!!"
Beside me, General Hernan shouted with all his might. And with that, a gem shone timidly on his neck, causing his command to run through the entire military division.
"Golden Archer! After me!" Hernan said.
Without hesitation, I positioned myself behind General Hernan, and the latter raised his shield. When all the soldiers raised their shields, a wall was created above our heads, and we could only see outside through the slits between them.
Through these slits, I managed to see the attack from which we are protecting ourselves.
"A sea of fire..." I said aloud.
In some places it looked like lava, while in others it was fire. The only thing certain is that a reddish sea whose purpose is to assassinate the archers appeared in the sky.
At my words, Hernan smiled and said, "You are not entirely wrong; this magic has [Infernal Sea] as its name."
As soon as he said the name, the magic fell on the shields. As the smile on his face remained, it appeared that he had planned his response to coincide with the attack.
But then I understood the reason for it.
As soon as the Infernal Sea touched the shields, there wasn't even a clash between them; the Infernal Sea directly vanished into thin air as if it had never existed.
From the slits, I shifted my vision to his shield and waited for a description from the user interface.
[Tempered Steel Tower Shield] [(Magic Shield+) (Physical Shield)]
'Now I know where his security comes from. If all Tower Brigade shields possess the same runes, then there's nothing to worry about.'
