The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

Although it was originally a favorable defensive battle, Liana defeated the Monarchy alone in a one-sided development.

The reaction of the Calvus side to such Liana varied from those who were terrified of its power, to those who turned a blind eye when trying to incorporate it, to those who simply praised it.

"No, no, I'm surprised." I didn't know there were other users besides Aldis. "

As expected, only Nicole, who had seen Aldis's strength, had not changed her attitude suddenly even when she saw Riana's power.

“I didn't see you when I was in Grok, but you've been with me lately?”

However, if you look at Nicole, who left Grok a long time ago, Liana's face is unfamiliar. You can't help but think of yourself as a newcomer.

"... didn't I tell you before? I'm telling you that I have a child who looks after me."

"Ahh... that's it."

Even though he didn't know Ardis in person, Nicole seemed to have figured it out.

You're in a lot of trouble, too.

"No, it's not."

Ardis replied to Nicole in a cheerful tone with an uncomfortable look.

"Anyway, this will reduce the opposition's voice." The rumors of repeated defeat of the Imperial army are too exaggerated to be exaggerated. "

Overnight after the battle with the monarchy, Aldis and his party, who had shown Calvus their strength, stayed in the castle.

Yesterday's battle proved the strength of the Wisterian side, making it easier for pro-alliance claims to gain support within Calvus.

In the future, the diplomats of the two countries will be able to continue talks on the alliance.

Nicole came as an individual, not as a brother of the king, but with the intention of communicating the movements within Calves to the Minervas through Ardis.

So what's the enemy doing?

"For now, it's normal." I've done so much damage. You can't move without being a fool, can you? "

The corpses left after the enemy retreated will be between two and three hundred.

If the casualties are estimated to be several times greater, it is likely that the enemy's combat power has been drastically reduced.

As an enemy, it would be terrible if the damages were further and Calvus regained his freedom of action at the end of his life.

Decent commanders are more likely to stay aggressive and focus on surveillance and containment.

Right now, I'm setting up a messenger to coordinate the treatment of those killed in action.

Treatment?

Aldis throws a question at the puzzling words that pop out of Nicole's mouth.

"That's right, you can't leave it like that, right?" Hand over the body in exchange for a ransom, or do we have to deal with it? We also have to decide on the ownership of the equipment, and if we are going to consult on the duration of the truce or if we are going to handle it, we will have to decide on the share of the cost. "

Aldis's doubts further deepen in his answer.

"... you're fighting, aren't you?"

"Does it look like you're playing?"

Apparently, Nicole didn't seem to be joking, and Ardis gave a sinister expression and expressed his honest feelings.

"It was a lot of idleness."

"When I was idle, was it?"

As Aldis said, this time Nicole has a grumpy face.

"But if you leave the body like that, it will cause a plague." And even enemies should be respectful of the dead. "

"Respect for the enemy...?"

"In other words, politeness? Even the dead ones are somebody's father or son when they get back to the country. I don't think it's possible to return the body to my family, but I think it's only natural that I should do it."

It was an incomprehensible way of thinking for Aldis.

It is true that Nicole is not mistaken.

The enemy is a single person and will have family and lovers to love when they return to their hometown.

But they're not fighting to protect their homeland, they're coming all the way across the ocean plains to invade.

After choosing to throw yourself on the battlefield, I guess you're just as prepared to die like a bastard. That would be the case in the light of Aldis' values.

The bodies are rolling to the point where the enemy and their allies are at odds with each other, so if we're going to do that, Nicole's going to have to make a truce to make sure we're safe.

However, it was only if the opponent was well behaved and kept his promise of a truce.

The battlefield Ardis was once on wasn't such a lukewarm place.

If you show the gap, there will be no agreement soon, and it is a world where it is ridiculed as worse to be cautious.

From the perspective of Aldis, who lived as a mercenary in such a world, Nicole's words were somewhat lacking in seriousness.

It is literally a different world.

Aldis is now a resident of this world, but it was that world that raised the fundamental part of it, the mercenary regiment he once belonged to.

The trees that gave birth to apples over the years were not turned into vines anymore.

"If you can't afford it, you can't do that."

Aldis tossed a spoon, perhaps not understanding this point.

A temporary truce has been established between Calvus and the monarchy of San Rogel, and the wild bodies have been recovered by the enemy.

Meanwhile, the enemy will expose us to a defenseless state, but we were strictly forbidden to attack by agreement.

The bodies recovered will be buried during the truce, according to their usual practice.

During the truce, the monarchy pays Calvus a substantial honorarium.

Nevertheless, there should be nothing wrong with them. I must be thinking of getting it back when I finally take it out.

When the truce ended, the enemy showed no sign of moving.

In war, there are many times as many casualties as there are dead.

The enemy will not be able to return to the battlefield for a while.

Aldis thought so, and so did Calvus' army.

The prediction was overturned five days later. The alliance talks between Wisteria and Calvus were coming to a close, and it was the tip of the arrow that was about to become reality.

The main unit is going to roll over.

I didn't make any facial expressions, but from the tone of my voice, Minerva told me so as she began to feel gloomy.

According to reports from Calvus' scouts, the main forces of the monarchy are on their way to take on other city-states.

According to reports, the number exceeds 10,000.

Have you seen the defeat the other day?

"Normally, that's what I'd say..."

In response to a query from Cyril, Ardis turned his gaze to Minerva for a moment.

I wonder?

"No, it's nothing." Are alliance negotiations going any better than that? "

Still further, Kirill's question was thrown with a cool face and diverted from the story.

Yes, that's not it.

Minerva nodded firmly and replied, then paused to apologize.

"It's just... that's why I can't pretend I'm not looking at this crisis with my own face..."

"I guess that's true. An alliance in anticipation of a time like this. It just doesn't make sense for the alliance that we're here to keep ourselves safe."

If we leave Calvus now and make our way home, we can leave before the enemy main force arrives.

Perhaps we should, given Minerva's safety, but that would be synonymous with putting the alliance talks back to square one.

In essence, the Ardis now have no choice but to defeat their enemies alongside the Calvus forces.

Only Aldis stays here, and the idea of letting Riana escort the Minervas back home for a moment.

However, from Minerva's standpoint, it would be a bad idea to create the impression of escaping before the crisis in Calvus.

Well, it's easy to understand that it's simple to do.

"Simple... even Aldis can't beat more than 10,000 enemies, can he?"...... it's impossible, isn't it? "

Aldis and Cyril confidently confirmed it.

"Even if I was 10,000 people, my hand would turn around." At most, it's best to stop some of them. ”

If the enemy is bound to come through a specific narrow path, we can block it, but there is undulating terrain all around Calvus.

Ardis wasn't growing enough to think he could control a vast battlefield on his own.

"But no matter how many people there are, the army has a chain of command." The fact that there is only one general standing at the summit remains unchanged. If I can forcefully smash the needle of the fan... well, I'll do something about it. "

Two days later.

The sentry tower on Calvus is reporting an incoming enemy main unit.

Not many of the Imperial soldiers follow the main force of the monarchy of San Rogel and its reinforcements.

If we put together another unit of the monarchy on the hill near Calvus, we could reach 14,000.

The militia that volunteered for about 2,000 reserves against Calvus was about 3,000, for a total of just under 5,000.

And four reinforcements from the wisteria: Aldis, and Liana, and Cyril, and Eleanor.
