"Jang-san, you can't hold back the knights who came with reinforcements... they're much faster than expected, but I'll give the first signals of retreat!" And before you give the signal, take a good look at the first team! Thanks to some knights who have made a strange effort, the first formation is about to collapse! I know you know, but it's worse than doing what you gotta do and losing! After everything is over, Tenma-kun... if Lord Tenma-Otori told me that reinforcements were just coming to get us... we'd be making history. Of course, in a bad way. "

Victory and defeat are not uncommon, but it's not uncommon to lose everything once, and you won't even have a chance to recover. If it's their rampage, even if they survive this battle, many of them will give us their backfingers.

Even though some people may give up if they have their back fingers, everyone here has some idea and has been dispatched from higher beings. In other words, we will put mud on the face of our existence as it is, and if there is a family, it will cast a shadow on the future of that family.

Did you understand that? Earlier, those who were cheering as they saw their faction's knights in the first formation burst into a swarm of zombies were now looking at the first formation with a bitter face.

“If you understand, we'll move as a herd!”

It's a strategy, but it's not that sophisticated. In advance discussions, we decided to adopt a simple method of warfare, which is basically when we are arranging people who can use magic, such as "the person in charge of melee warfare stops the opponent and the person who was waiting behind performs ranged attacks such as magic". In some cases, people who are in close quarters before a ranged attack may be pulled once, and there is a danger that they will be attacked from behind at that time... but the opponent is a zombie that has slowed down and has no weapon other than a few battles. At present, it seems that the four-armed monster and the zombie that can use magic are not distracted by Temma-kun, so the simple method of warfare should have a high success rate and effect... everyone was convinced.

It seems that some of the knights in the reinforcements were dissatisfied because they could not predict their personal success, because they were expected to move in a well-led manner, but it seems that they were not dissatisfied because they saw the struggle of the first team first-hand. I apologize to Mr. Jean, but I would be very grateful.

Give a signal to the first battalion to retreat!

Roger that!

When Jang heard my instructions, the knight who was waiting for him unleashed his magic overhead and signaled the first battlefield to retreat, he immediately began to leave the battlefield. It seems that some of them were dragged down by the zombies too far in, and they were delayed in noticing the signal, but immediately the raw (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) before the zombies disappeared.)

"The person in charge of melee is going to rush off with me!" Don't forget to work with your friends! The ranged agent should be ready to attack at any time, but wait for my signal at a distance! so as not to collide with the knights of the first battalion who are retreating...... second battalion, charge! "

On my orders, the knights in charge of the melee ran their horses out loud. Rather than being angry, I feel nervous when I see the first battle, and it sounds like a voice to deceive, so don't just push yourself.

At the end of the slope, he passed the first knights, but all his expressions were reluctant. It's probably because they couldn't get it back on their feet, even though they realized that they had done it wrong. In particular, Jang-san is the most reluctant face I've ever seen. Somehow I felt pathetic, and when I snuck my horse's legs loose... I was strangled for some reason. I can't figure it out. Well, it only took a few seconds to find Mr. Jang and then we passed each other. My eyes met for a second or so, so maybe it was my mistake.

"Fight calmly! I'm not fighting with all my might! There are many enemies, but if you don't rush to join forces and defeat them, we will win! If anyone has only arms that can't work with their surroundings, turn around right and go back to your former camp!"

I slipped through the first formation and blasted everyone just before bumping into the zombie herd. I bumped into the zombie in the front row of the herd as I let out my enraged voice. But my blast worked, and after the first blow, I didn't go deeper, and I always started moving my horse to attack the zombies.

Few zombies were killed in a single attack, but they were quickly defeated by other knights. Since the horse is healthy and the knights are fighting with high morale and cooperation in mind, I can fight without getting injured within my sight.

Melee group, pull once!

As I told you, the knights in charge of the proximity walked away from the zombies, though they didn't move unscathed, and the knights in charge of the distance used their magic at a time when they were all apart.

Although the Rock was not as powerful as Temma and Merlin, the Zombie Horde that was stopped by the knights in charge of proximity was more dense than when the first team was fighting, so the ordinary magic of power dealt a heavy blow to the Zombie Horde like the magic of high firepower.

"Ranged team, stop attacking!" Let's go again with the melee team! "

Once again, lunging into the Zombie Horde, the first attack was preceded by fewer zombies, which widened the gap between the hordes and made it easier for the horses to move. However, since there were zombie shards and parts in the middle of burning by fire magic rolling around, I needed to be careful not to step on them, but our horses were all well-trained horses, so I was grateful that you avoided them without giving any instructions.

When the proximity group fought the zombies to a certain extent, and the herd became dense, the ranged group repeated twice after saying..., and the third round of ranged group magic came to an end. It may seem personal, but it was nearly twice as fast, actually. However, since we in the second formation have no casualties, we can say that it was a great success in terms of damage and battles.

Third Strike!

The 3rd Squad, which replaces us as we retreat, has divided our forces into two, so we will have a plan like ours. If we spin it like this, we might be able to destroy the zombie herd faster than expected. However, there will be zombies that use four-armed monsters and magic before they are destroyed, so I don't think it will be such an ideal situation... but if you can scrape a swarm of zombies, that richness won't get stronger, so if Temma can afford it, she can count on Merlin's help. Then our victory will be over now.

After passing by the knights, who seem to be the ranged armies of the third formation, I can see the first formation, but I think I should salute Mr. Jean on horseback. So I looked for that figure...... Jang looked very scared at the head of the first formation and stared at the herd of zombies. Therefore, I saluted in my heart and aimed to the back of the first formation as far as I could from Mr. Jang's sight.

”Jang-san, you were so shy... but it wouldn't be dangerous to run wild, would it?”

Perhaps this time, I was worried that Mr. Jang might make an early change.

Chris, it's side.

The battle with Rich continued to be a stalemate in which it was impossible to give each other a decisive blow. However, when we are hit by Rich's attack, our recovery means are limited and it is easy to reach a large gap. However, even if Rich is damaged, he will recover by killing the zombie. Although it's a stalemate, its content is quite unfavorable to us. However, as the Selection Squad became active, there began to be variations in Rich's recovery rate, albeit gradually.

Since the start of the battle with Rich, there have been four-armed monsters and magical zombies wandering around underneath me and my grandfather, but ordinary zombies keep moving forward without stopping their legs and are defeated by the selection squad.

As usual, there are enough to think how long it will take to defeat all the zombies, but the aftermath of Grandpa's range attack will increase the number of places where the zombie herd is divided, and when the place is directly underneath, Rich will lose his recovery speed (the amount of zombies that go towards Rich from below).

From this, I tried to hypothesize that the distance for Rich to use the zombie for dead animals is narrower than I thought, and that for some reason, the four-armed monster and Rich who can use magic may not be used or cannot be used for dead animals. I passed on the hypothesis to my grandfather, and now I'm trying to increase the number of range attacks and capture a rough range.

Temma! However, it seems that Rich uses more than 1km and less than 2km to recover!

When Rich recovered, he confirmed that the range from the zombie was less than 2km. It's dangerous to rely entirely on that information to fight, but at the end of the last battle, Rich didn't realize that a lot of zombies were involved in the aftermath of the battle with me, so he would manipulate the zombie herd by empowering them, but he doesn't have the ability to share the information that the zombies gained. As a result, Rich doesn't seem to have all of the zombies under his control, so it is sufficient to think that there are conditions such as distance to extract power from the zombies.

"Grandpa, Jang-san has come too far in front of you, so tell him to go farther in the right place... and go back another three kilometers!"

Even though I was afraid that my grandfather's support would be gone for a short time, I was moving around in the fight against Rich, and with Jan's momentum exceeding that of the zombie herd, the distance between me and Jan's group, which was nearly five kilometers after the start of the fight, was now about three kilometers. Rich could change the tip of his spear if he got any closer, so I wanted to ask Jean and the others to step back. Besides, thanks to Jan's efforts and Grandpa's range of attack, we thought that now that the number of zombie herds was decreasing and the amount of Rich's healing was falling, we would be able to go on a desperate offensive. Jang and the others stepped back to avoid getting involved in the offensive.

"Alright! Don't push yourself until I get back!" And this is a bonus! "

Grandpa fired his magic rounds at Jan and the others as he stepped back to damage Rich and slow his movements. It was possible that Rich would turn to Jean and the others in line with Grandpa's movements, but I let go of his strong magic in order to blend it into Grandpa's magic, so Rich chose to step back and distance himself rather than move forward.

Jean Side

"Slow down a little and get your breath in!"

Thanks to the magic that Merlin started using to attack a wide area, the horde of zombies that were coming towards us was in a state of perforation everywhere, so compared to the first one, it was dense enough to allow horses to run around the horde. However, I don't know when Merlin will stop the range attack, and there's still a huge army of zombies behind Rich, so we should restore his health while we can.

Thinking so, I thought that Lord Merlin might have used more powerful magic on a wider scale than before, and flew towards me.

"Jean! Let's lower all the troops by a few kilometers in a good place!"

Lady Merlin! Did something happen!?

I thought something unexpected had happened to the sudden instructions.

"It seems that Temma is about to set it up." That's why we want Jean and the others to evacuate behind us. Moreover, compared to when the battle began, the lords were pushing a large herd of zombies. I don't know when Rich will turn towards you when the distance gets closer. "

Roger that! Once we retreat backwards! ”

"Hmm, I beg you, because thanks to the work of the lords, we are also very helpful." There's still a long way to go, so don't just push yourself. "

Merlin said that and returned to Temma. The last time you praised us, you did it to keep us from getting anybody to stick around and show us their merits. I appreciate the thought, but I don't think there's anyone in the first team who's impatient or thinking of running away. Above all, it was the most important and prominent gathering of people. Moreover, within a few minutes of the start, the second side told me to take turns, and I was ashamed.

Some of them were reckless to save their lives, but most of them were either losing their lives or leaving the front. The rest of us who saw those people in front of us were now more focused on collaboration than the 2nd and 3rd.

This force, working together across factions, is one of the ideals of the Allies, but given the sacrifices they made to get there, I'm not entirely happy. Well, I could say it was because I didn't understand myself in the first assault, and I don't think it would be a bad thing later because there are words from Lord Merlin... but it must be a stain, so it's a headache.

"It wasn't the time to think like that... hey!" I'm going to step back and tell Chris and the others what Merlin told me. Stay on your feet until you get a signal! "

As soon as he instructed the knights nearby, he went to Chris, who seemed to be watching Merlin talking to me, and had already waited for the commander of the third battalion. On the spot, I gave both of them instructions from Lord Merlin and immediately signaled the first team to retreat. The first team followed me to the back of the third team. On the way, I told Merlin that I would go further back, but I couldn't live through the instructions, and I wasn't able to stop, so I was surprised, and some people stopped on the spot. However, those who said so were delayed by instructions from the second group from behind, but were able to rendezvous properly.

I don't think there are any zombies around here, but be on your guard!

A few kilometers from where we were, we stopped and regrouped. Since the current position is in the middle of the meadow, there is no shield that the zombie can hide, but since the four-armed monster seems to be quite wise, it is not impossible to say that it is diving and hiding on the ground. However, even if wisdom turns around, it seems unlikely that we will be able to predict that we will be able to fall back to this place a few kilometers behind, so it is quite unlikely that we will be waiting for an ambush, but at the same time, it is an instruction to be careful and not to let the knights' nervousness relieve.

As I waited for the knights and walked out to meet with Chris, an explosion occurred a few kilometers away. I haven't heard how Temma would attack us, but it would be a magic spell that would have the power to lower us further apart.

"At least, if I could use a tenth of the temma, I might have been able to reduce the burden on those two even a little..."

Perhaps you won't want a magical talent in your future life as much as you do now.

It's Jean-Side.

Hana side

"Sister-in-law, it's a little early, but I think you should rest around here today." If you give me this far, I will be able to reach the capital in half a month. You should stop here once and wait for your brother's troops who are coming after you. "

"That's right... I'll be camping here today!" Send a message to the surrounding troops! Also, send a message to her unit..... "

Something is coming at a tremendous momentum from the north!

When I was trying to follow Blanca's plan and give instructions to the surroundings, the soldiers who were watching the area ran in a panic.

"There was still a distance, so I don't know what it is, but something black is approaching at a speed of (...) degrees (...) above the horse (...)." The number is probably one. "

"Position the troops in front of you so that you can see them in front of what they are (...) and make them stand ready to intercept you!"

When it's black and it's faster than a horse, it's a bicorn that comes to mind, but it's also possible to call it a black individual dragon. Either way, if we bump into each other properly, we won't be able to win. I hope they can be alert and change course by showing up, but otherwise we'll have to be prepared to take a lot of damage before we get to the capital.

"Blanca!"

I know!

If we're going to barge in without altering our course, we need to hit Blanca and myself before the common soldiers get hurt, and try to contain the damage.

"Something has broken through the forward unit!" It looks like... a bicorn! "

The forward troops are supposed to be a few hundred meters ahead of us, so maybe the Baikon was faster than I told them to.

"Blanca, let's go!"

"Oh!... wait a minute, sister-in-law! That's Leiden!"

Blanca, a little late in her response, screamed at me as I ran towards the Baikon and noticed the identity of the Baikon.

"Eh! That means Temma's here!?"

"Too bad! I'm here!"...... Ugh! "

For a moment, I was surprised to think that Temma had arrived, and the one on Leiden's back was my amulet.

Amour jumped high from Leiden's back and rolled in the air many times... noticing the attention from around him.

”Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I won't make a fool of myself in this emergency!

With a light pat on the head, Amur exaggerated his pain, holding his head and nodding.

"Amur! Tell me why you came here so quickly! I don't think he borrowed Leiden to find the Southern Viscount Army for no reason!”

"Sister-in-law, I don't think it's possible to speak immediately after that blow to the boulder..."

When she tried to find out the reason from Amur, who was still pretending to be in pain, Blanca said it with a dazed look on her face. I intended to do it lightly, but it seems that the blow of the power of Soko (...) Soko (...) has entered at a pretty good angle.

"Phew... I've been in terrible trouble... ah!" This is a letter from His Majesty. The Archduke gave it to me, and when I tried to go to my mother, Temma lent me Leiden. "

When I saw the letter that Amur had given me, it certainly contained His Majesty's name. Inside.....

"Blanca, gather those who were lords of the army. His Majesty's death came directly to the Viscount of the South."

"Roger that... hey!" Gather the captains and vice-captains of each unit immediately! "

Blanca flew instructions to the surroundings and immediately gathered the army commanders. On the spot, I told him why Amur was there, and then I told him his life, and most of the captains were accusing and angry about the rebellion of Dalaram, but those who knew the reputation of Dalaram were convinced that "he would do it".

"So your Majesty wants to leave the Southern Viscount's house to the west rather than the east side of the capital." However, the Duke's army may arrive as soon as we arrive and move to the eastern side of the battlefield without any help... but perhaps it will arrive only after we destroy the Duke's army. ”

"In other words, the Viscount arrives in the capital earlier than any other Duke's house, and sells his debt to the royal family by overthrowing the Dalai Lama's army. Or you're going to destroy the Dalai Lama's army before the Duke's army and sell the royal family an extraordinary debt.”

“That's right, Blanca. And you know which one I'm after, don't you?”

Everyone in the audience, including Blanca, was cheering as if their emotions had exploded.

"What's the matter!?"

And Amur, who was falling asleep pretending to be listening quietly beside Blanca, jumped up in amazement at everyone's cheers.
