168 156. An Operation

Runwalker Border Bo Territory Regalia Army

"How much damage has been done?

"Ha. The damage will be about a thousand. We are still getting closer, albeit slightly, as we magically attack to bring our siege weapons closer to the fort. Then we're about to climb a cloud ladder up close to the fort."

Day 5 of our first war on the Runwalker Frontier. It's already past noon, but already a thousand people are dead? All together, about 10,000.

The first day ended only with a magical shootout, and the full-scale war began on the second day. Magic is powerful, but if the allies get too close, they won't be used much as they get to the middle because they're more likely to get involved than the bow.

Enemies, too, when they unleash magic too close, destroy the gates of the blame, so even if they use it, it's just elementary magic. Even if they use it, they will stop using it because there is no magic because it is mostly prevented by barriers.

And now we, the Regalia, are taking out a siege weapon and attacking it to break the gate. We either have to break the gate or get over the fort and open the gate. Because magic barriers seem to be weak for physics. But the enemy knows that too, so it's hard inside.

"Hmm. Can't the cloud ladder still get close?

"Yes, the enemy's assault is intense. Even if they get close, they'll destroy them immediately."

We were told that the brave men were working when they approached the fort. Chanel has the title of 'The Cure', so she may be treating the wounded. I can use water magic too, so I can help.

The brave men here are Hado, me, Ikaido, Lion, Endo, Chanel, and Mari. The other defective groups and fresh water were taken somewhere because they said they had a different assignment. Gargante is not here now either.

Other people in the tent are a few men to the Admiral, General Gregorius. It's just Derris about the stupid prince. In fact, General Gregorius and Derris are pretty unfriendly.

Derris is doing a foolish thing about advancing the assault in vain, because General Gregorius has dismissed all the opinions. Well, General Gregorius is right.

Derris, who thinks she's right, doesn't seem to care about it.

But if it stays like this, it will be jilli poor. I've seen wars like this in Lanobe and stuff, too, but it still seems more advantageous to stand in cages. What the hell will I do? That's what he thinks.

"Hey, guys, are you trying?

And Gargante smiled and came in. It's a frustrating face....... yeah? Behind you is a stranger in a cape. From the back length. Maybe he's a man. Who was that?

"... Lord Gargante. You won't have much trouble being moved on your own. Your mission is to escort the brave men."

General Gregorius bitterly complains about Gargante flirting. But Gargante is hella hella. Don't be angry with him.

"I'm sorry. It was a request from His Majesty the Emperor."

But tension runs to the generals in Gargante's words. What do you mean by a request from His Majesty the Emperor?

"What does that mean? Why has it not been heard by me, the general?

"Fair enough. Don't be so angry. Because His Majesty the Emperor said he wanted the General to concentrate on the war. And I'm going to tell you now."

Then what we talked about was too surprising.

◇ ◇ ◇

"I didn't expect you to let me operate like that."

I really pulled the poverty lottery. Sure, it's probably more expensive for us to be summoned as brave than to let normal soldiers... Huh.

He said he was a little depressed that way.

"It's okay, Kaido-kun?

And Chanel came. There's also Mari behind you. What's wrong with you both? By the way, we're better friends than any other brave group.

I was in the same squad before, and the only water magic we can recover from in the brave group. I've been helping treat wounded soldiers for the past few days.

From those helpful soldiers, Chanel is sometimes called 'The Virgin of Legalia'. Well, it's not a mistake, because you have the same patronage of a goddess as the Virgin of the Archadian pope.

Mari treats the soldiers like mascots. The soldiers dying in the war seem to have something to rest their hearts when they look at Mari with a bright personality. Although he denies it.

And I, with such a Virgin and a Mascot, am made my enemy. Well, I've already given up on whether that would happen with these two cute people.

"What's going on, both of you?

"Ugh! I'm here to comfort Hado!

Asari says with an open chest.

"Ugh, you can't put it that way! I'm sorry, Hado. Mari's worried about Kaido-kun, and she's just trying to act bright."

Chanel says so with all due respect. I can't believe you two are worried about me. I think I'm going to cry over the extra joy.

"Ha, I know. Thank you, you're worried."

When I smile back, two people give me a dark look the other way for some reason. Why do you even have that look on your face? Where'd that cheerful vibe go earlier?

"But are you sure you're okay? This operation was very dangerous, wasn't it? I don't know if I can make it home alive. And a lot of people..."

"I know, it's dangerous. But if someone has to do it, it's normal for the one with the slightest chance of being helpful to do it, right? Look, I'm not dying, either. I want to go back to Empire City and flirt with Lucy."

That's how they winked, and the two blew out pussy. Why? I thought you said something pretty cool in me.

"No more! Kaido-kun! But it is, isn't it? There's someone waiting for you."

Chanel, who says so, looks sad somewhere. It's an occasional face. My instincts say you probably think of someone you like.

But if these two worry me so much, I'll have to work hard. I don't want to die, either.
