CH 511

It was the night of the seventh day after defeating a considerable number of black monsters. We finally arrived at the town of Gust, and after deploying our troops around the main gate, we began to discuss.

“Lars-kun and Minister Basleigh have a plan here. Can you please tell us your opinion?”

“I’m not a minister anymore, Hawk-san. I think the first thing we should do is find out if the gates will open or not.”

“I agree with Basleigh-sensei. If the gates can’t be opened by hand, I’m going to have to destroy them with a full blast of siege weapons and magic.”

“Should we ask Anna to help us there?”

“I can’t use ancient magic, so I don’t know if it will help.”

Anna, the Minister of the Magical Corps and friend of Basleigh-sensei, smiled wryly, despite her words. I think she’s a belligerent person because she’s a friend of Basleigh-sensei.

“If anything, though, I want Anna-san to go on a rampage when we attack. Now, then, it’s the role of opening the gate. ……”

“You’ve got a point …… I could have used Lilith.”

“It’s not a handy tool, so please stop it ……”

After the raid, the troops decided to search for the demon by dividing into east, west, south, and north, and decided who would go where. It was decided that those who had fought the demon last time would follow the knights.

Tigre-sensei, Basleigh-sensei, Ryuuze, and Naru. Sarge, Fath-san, and my brother. Makina, Jack and Sharuru. Me, Kudelica and Sephiro.

Each of us marched through the town with this combination, and as soon as we found a demon and went into battle, we would launch a simple flare that I had made to alert them.

The flare was made possible by encapsulating the magic of light in a stone mined by Luciel. I think it was significant that Yogus’ appraisal revealed that amethyst was a stone through which magic could easily pass.

“Please.”

Just like that, we decided to start the mission to retake the town of Gust by having Sarge into a dragon, and the knights were amazed to see his beautiful scaled body glowing in the moonlight.

“What a magnificent physique.”

“Looking at him, I have a feeling we’re going to win this battle.”

“He’s a dragon, after all ……”

“It really makes you proud, don’t you.”

“He’s our friend we’re proud of, after all …… But I guess it won’t open, huh.”

Whenever someone praises Sarge, we are all very proud to be with him. But Sarge’s power couldn’t open it.

“No, then it’s probably best not to touch it. Let’s smash it with the stakes and magic as planned. Anna-san, please get ready.”

“Okay!”

I pulled Radia and the horses away from the gate and took a breath.

“It’ll be difficult If something happens to you guys, but I need your help.”

“Grruuuu!”

“Neigh!”

“Brrrr!”

I hold the reins and exhale once more before shouting to Radia and the horses, who squealed bravely in response to my words.

“Go! We’re going to smash through that gate!”

“GUOOOOON!!”

Immediately afterwards, the carriage with its huge, heavy stakes began to move with ease!　I immediately put magic power into my hands and waited for the right moment.

“GOOOOOOOOO!”

The moment I heard Ryuuze shout energetically, the stake hit the gate, and there was a feeling like the earth shaking, and the gate cracked wide open in the middle.

“!”

“!”

I immediately released a Dragonic Blaze at close range, and Anna also shot a powerful magic. As it was, I fired another shot of Dragonic Blaze, and the mist haze blew away, and when I fired again, the gate shattered into pieces. 

“Whew, we did it …….”

“You’re the man, Lars-kun! All right, everybody in!”

” ” “YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!” ” “

The knights rushed into the town under Hawk-san’s command, and Makina and the others called out to me as I got off the carriage.

“I’ll see you later, Lars! I’ll definitely beat them.”

“Later then, Lars. I’ll definitely beat that bastard this time!”

“Heh, don’t let me beat you to it.”

“He’s my prey, though, so let’s go.”

“Let’s show them the result of our training.”

“Be careful, guys! Okay, let’s get going too, Kudelica, Sephiro.”

“Yes!”

“I got it, big brother!”

As the lights of the lanterns scattered in the dimly lit town, I raised my oversized light above my head and walked into the town.
