337 Fighting the Carmus family

"Dear Ars, I have discovered an enemy shadow. Carmus troops are on the other side of the river."

"Okay. That's exactly what I expected. I'm gonna slap the Carmus house here."

Carmus aristocratic territory next to the south of Fontana territory.

An army of 5000 of the Carmus family is said to be waiting on the river before entering its territory.

Isn't this number a little small to deal with the Fontana family?

There was also such a voice among us who obtained information at the current accommodation in Carmus territory.

But you can't even say that.

Only a few of them headed for the labyrinth this time, but they were also taking the Reed people.

And then we safely attacked the labyrinth, ceded control over it to the Memento family, and declared war on the Carmas family.

but the important thing here is that I ordered the Reed family person to use [pronouncements] to contact the city of Fontana once.

In other words, it was only a messenger sent by the city of Fontana who declared war on the Carmas family, not us who were still in the labyrinth.

For that reason, although the men of the Carmus family, who had been declared war, constituted their armies with rushed peasants, they did not know whether to send troops to the north, where their territory bordered Fontana territory, or to defend the south to contain the cavalry regiment of Fontana, which suddenly went south a few days earlier.

That's probably why we split up the army.

on the north side bordering the Fontana territory and on the south side opposite it so that it can accommodate both.

In that sense, I think it would be excellent to have 5,000 standing by on this south side.

Anyway, in numbers, you're on good alert for an army of only 1,000 horsemen.

Incidentally, Kyle has been instructed to assemble more than 10,000 troops at three positions on Fontana territory bordering the Carmas family.

If you look only at the numbers, it would be more natural for consciousness to go north, but I guess it means they didn't catch it or anything.

but that wouldn't matter much.

This is an elite army that quickly smashed the labyrinth of the grand aristocrats.

The next day, the Fontana Cavalry sent a raid into the area where the Carmas family was waiting.

"Ice elves, freeze the river"

Give orders to the ice elves floating in the universe to cover around the Valkyrie troops.

These ice spirits are like balls of blue light that I was summoning in [Ice Spirit Summoning].

These guys aren't strong one by one.

but somehow, unlike others, I could summon multiple ice sperms, so I was using them differently.

I used it on this expedition to let the ice spirits absorb the surrounding "cold" to prevent the temperature from dropping.

With ice sperm around the cavalry, there will be no freezing cold if those ice sperm absorb the cold.

Even so, it's colder to say that I'm cold because I'm more affected by the wind than I am on a Valkyrie that cuts the wind and runs.

However, if it is starting to snow, it is easy to summon and maintain a number of ice sperm.

To that end, I kept ice sperm out all the time on the move as a cavalry regiment.

Instructed those ice sperms to freeze the water in the river in front of the Carmus family forming.

Is it because I have absorbed the cold before?

I think I could have frozen it faster than the water on the Midway River that I fought with the Arborest family before.

The rivers here are narrower and have less water than the Midway River, where more than one river has flown in and grown.

That would also be a fast frozen factor.

But when I saw it, there was obviously an upset run over the Carmus army.

... I see.

Maybe he knows more about what happened when the Arborests and I fought.

Previously, the way I took a complete victory over the Arborest family was to freeze the water on this river.

All the Arborest troops that were on that ice were burned to death.

By the power of my magic sword, the Ice Flame Sword, which turns ice into flames.

I guess you're on guard about that.

That's why the Carmus family didn't move.

The cavalry ridden on the Valkyrie over the ice of the frozen river continued to move forward, and it did not move to see each other's distance approaching.

Good thing the Fontana army doesn't care either. Approaching the Carmas Army waiting while increasing their speed.

However, just before the cavalry arrived at the Carmus Army a little later, there was movement against them.

A well-dressed man at the head of the Carmus army moves forward and tries to cast his magic while gripping a large wooden wand.

Seeing that, the man has more magic than the others.

Besides, it had far more magic than a normal knight.

Probably our main class.

Theory is usually the main force in the battle between nobles.

But the man in charge of bringing the Carmus Army together was like an operation to inflict a hand wound on the Fontana Army with a first blow.

[Wangshui Tsunami].

It's a top magic name passed down to the Carmus family.

The Carmus principals are about to unleash magic with a literal, terrible ability to attack.

Royal water is a powerful acidic liquid.

Make it appear like a tsunami and push it away towards your opponent.

That's the effect of the top magic [King's Water Tsunami] of the Carmus family.

[Blackie] of the Urk family and [Far Thunder] of the Arborest family sucked, but this guy sucks pretty bad, too.

From what I've heard, the tsunami height seems to be about 1m, but still it would be instant death if eaten properly.

Anyway, [wall architecture] would not be completely prevented by a wall 5m across.

So I sealed it.

The moment a man at the head of the Carmus family tried to activate the [Royal Water Tsunami], he activated the magic props.

[Sealed Demon Bracelet].

It's one of the magic items stored in the labyrinth.

I have received this sealed demon bracelet, which was stored in a fold that attacked Labyrinth Street.

And I used it now.

The effect is that it does not express any magic around the bracelet.

The information says the range of effects seems to be fairly widespread and can cover one battlefield in a round.

And that was right.

The [Royal Water Tsunami], which the main class of the Carmus family tried to activate by shaking up their canes, did not, however, cause any phenomenon.

In fact, this sealed devil's bracelet can be one of the reasons why Carlos or the culprit of the Kingslayer was the Percival family.

It was inexplicable how unintentional Carlos, who was escorting the king, could not resist anything and destroyed it without being able to protect the king.

And in the testimony of Lion, who was there on the spot, he hears that Carlos, who was attacked, was about to face it with his sword without activating the superior magic of [Ice Elite Summoning].

I mean, couldn't Carlos use magic for any reason and just have to resist with weapons?

So why is that?

It is this claim that it is due to the enchantment by [Sealed Demon's Bracelet] that it is stored in the Labyrinth City.

In fact, I also thought that might fit.

Anyway, because the main class man in the Carmus family, who couldn't do it to unleash the best attack of his own, the [Royal Water Tsunami], was completely confused.

I wave over and over again looking at the wand I have and try to activate magic with magic.

but that didn't come true.

And there the Fontana army clashed.

Neither can this one use magic by the sealed demon bracelet.

I guess the effect of this bracelet is like a field effect, not a debuff applied against the opponent.

Neither faction will be able to use magic.

but there was nothing wrong with it.

Because the weapon in my hand that rides the leading Valkyrie is the Holy Sword Gran Barca.

You can use magic even if you can't use it.

And this magical Gran Barca is famous enough to give it the name Iron Slash Sword, which is powerful enough to tear every object apart.

Maybe if I had deposited this Gran Barca with Carlos, or maybe Carlos would have been alive by now, I don't have to wonder.

but can't I think about that now?

That's what I was thinking, with the Holy Sword Gran Barca lightly slashing the body of the Carmus principals and kicking the Carmus army as it was.
