In a typical battle, there are few occasions when sorcerers are actively involved in the offensive.

 They offset the magic shot by the enemy forces.

They may have used their magical powers to determine the whereabouts of enemy sorcerers and alerted the entire army to their presence.

 Or, they cover their own troops with warding magic to prevent damage.

Such defensive work is considered to be the main task.

 If the magicians were to lead the charge, or if they were to form a unit of magicians to rush into the battle, greater results could be expected.

 But that is not possible. Magicians are a human resource that must not be lost.

In this day and age, where the percentage of people who are literate is not high, magic, which is based on a logical formula, is an incredibly difficult subject to learn.

To master it to a practical level, one would have to spend time, money, and effort on a decade-long basis.

If such a person is lost, it will take another decade to replace the person.

 This is why every country keeps its magicians on a short leash. The basic rule is to flicker their presence as a deterrent and keep them in reserve until an emergency arises.

However, there are those in the world to whom such basics do not apply, in other words, geniuses to the extent that they are extraordinary.

"What a popular guy I am! Did you gather all this stuff just for me?"

The leader of the magician corps, Almire, flies over the Royal Army of Mertor, humming the words in a high voice like a song, which is not suitable for the war.

After her passage, a very large explosion occurred, and dozens of people were blown away at once.

If an enemy magician jumped out to return fire, another unit waiting for him would take aim and finish him off, or he would be killed directly by Almire.

The fox-faced beauty, who until Argiano came to the fore, had been the most powerful magician in the world by her own admission and others, continued to play with the enemy's army by herself.

 She is the most powerful magician that Arcadia boasts in the world.

All my masters are like monsters.

But even if he goes that far...

"What's the matter, O'Brien? You're just running away from me?"

Isaac's, the momentum of the Royal Army of Meltor is unstoppable.

 Almire alone is holding back about 5,000 men. The invasion of the Royal Army of Mertor was intensifying beyond Almire's range.

 O'Brien also gave precise instructions and tried to avoid Isaac in the melee.

It is safe to say that the strategy of cutting off all but Isaacs thoroughly was the right one.

Then, what was the reason why they did not stop even after all that---

"Haaaaah!"

 One is simply that Isaac is too strong.

 He is a fierce fighter who fought with the great general of Arcadia, Ghardias, but his generation is one above Ghardias.

He is one generation older than Ghardyas, which means that he is an old man who is nearly sixty years old, but he does not show the least sign of decline in the way he attacks with such ferocious vigor.

 Even as O'Brien maneuvered his army to avoid him, the man astride a huge warhorse agilely took up position at the tail end of the army and blew away the Arcadian soldiers with a single swing of his great sword.

He has already made up about 20% of them. The quality is even worse because the Royal Army of Meltor, heated by the momentum, is following Isaac.

 In order to prevent such a rush, Schneizel was preserved as a deterrent, but it seems that Isaac is not even afraid of it.

In fact, Isaac is even rampaging to fight Schneizel?

He wants to fight a stronger one. Is it a wish as a warrior?

 In addition to that...

:Follow His Excellency."

Isaac's second-in-command, a man named Fierro, was showing command skills equal to or even better than O'Brien.

Without a doubt, Fierro is the one who does not kill Isaac's vigor, which is prominent on his own, but rather heats it up.

 He understood how to make the most of Isaac's strengths and reflected them in the army, playing the role of a lubricant, so to speak.

If either Isaacs or Fierro was not taken down, surely they would be defeated.

This situation was not due to O'Brien's lack of ability, but rather to a simple difference in the number of pawns he had. Even if the quality of fighters was better than theirs, the number of fighters was overwhelmingly too great.

---Even so, on the first day, O'Brien's skillful handling of the situation left the score at five to one as the night drew to a close.

 At night, the battle on the plain was suspended, and the two sides shifted to vigilance and surprise attacks at night while recovering from their fatigue.

However, since there were many excellent magicians here, including Almire, we were able to sleep safely without being caught by surprise through their vigilance network.

 Then came the second day.

 The war situation was not unlike the first day. O'Brien handled the battlespace, and the Royal Army of Mertor slightly outnumbered him.

 Gradually, gradually, the front is being pushed back, as if slowly being strangled.

 Now that Schneizel cannot move, Almire, who is the only one who stands out, must avoid running out of magical power and cannot be reckless.

Little by little, I had the feeling that defeat was coming closer and closer.

 Three or four days passed.

Then, on the fifth day, I suddenly realized that I had been fighting a defensive battle.

 Suddenly, O'Brien, who had been on the defensive, made a move.
