Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

When I returned to the headquarters of the Agartha army, I found that Lafayence and all the main people were there. To my surprise, Sadakichi was also standing on the edge of the table. His small size makes him look like a sculpture of some kind at first glance. ...... I take my seat with this thought in mind.

"The city of Sulphate has fallen?"

"Yes, that's the information I'm sure of. First listen to Tesi's report.

At Matkal's urging, Posehay, who was the youngest in the group, stood up.

"It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Teshi, a student at Salfate.

He is one of the best recovery magic users in Posehay. It is said that he will probably master level 5 recovery magic in the future. Chi-wan and the other Posehayes had high expectations for this man, and that is why they sent him to study in the capital of Sulphate, where the world's largest and best wizards gather. He began to explain slowly in a calm voice.

"Five days ago, the army of the Kingdom of Thana suddenly invaded Hycel, the capital of Sulphate. It seems that the Sulphate had no idea that Thana's army was heading for their borders. The defenders of the border had been defeated within a day, and the army of Thana reached Hysshel in an avalanche. In the capital, some 3,000 wizards stood on the front lines and tried to hold off the invasion, but they were defeated without the means to do so, and the city fell after only three days of siege and defense.

"I don't believe ...... this off the top of my head."

Matocalu is immensely excited. I understand that feeling. After all, Sulphate is one of the most magical countries in the world. As I recall, there are several wizards in this country with LV5 skills, of which there are only a dozen or so in the world. Agartha also sent several wizards, including Teshi, to study in this country.

Because of this, the country of Sulphate, especially the capital city of Hythell, was protected by a very powerful magic, and it was said that it would be difficult to even enter the walls of the city, let alone fall to the enemy. There are more than a dozen people in the city who can use LV4 warding magic, and nearly a hundred wizards who can use LV3 warding magic. I was told that there were If all of these warders put up multiple layers of wards, it would be a very strong defense. Even if I attacked with all my might, it would take a lot to break through those wards. Moreover, there are more than 1,000 wizards specialized in attack. It is truly a city like a hedgehog, and yet I managed to bring it down in only three days. No wonder Matkal was surprised.

I glance at Matkal and immediately turn my attention to Sadakichi.

<<< I see. You didn't attack from Hyssell? >>

After I had heard this, I turned my attention back to Tashi.

"Tashi, how was it inside the city?"

"Yes, at first when the city was surrounded, the arrows fired by Thana's army did little damage, and everyone's morale was high. But on the second day, the wizards began to fall.

"The wizard began to fall?"

Yes. I was in charge of healing magic in the back, but during the night the number of people brought in with symptoms of what appeared to be a lack of magical power increased dramatically, and by dawn most of the wizards in the front line had lost the ability to fight.

"Perhaps it was the magic sucking stone?"

Lafayence mutters to no one in particular. I look at him and nod slowly.

"Perhaps, yes. By the way, Teyss, were there no knights or foot soldiers in Hycel?"

"No. There were some, but ......"

How many men?

Probably about 1,000.

Then we have no enemies among the masses.

You are absolutely right. I think that Sulphate's complacency about its high level of magical technology was one of the reasons for this defeat. However, I still find it hard to believe ...... that a country with the world's best skills and technology in magic could be reduced to ashes in a matter of days."

I nodded at Teshi's words and sent a reminder to Sadakichi.

<>.

"You got past the Sadakichi's eyes. ....... You got lucky ......?"

I mutter to no one in particular.

"The problem is..."

Lafayence stands up and opens his mouth.

"There are two problems. One, as Tesi just reported, the Sulphate nation, with the best magical technology and skills in the world, has been destroyed. This requires us to reexamine our magical attacks and defenses. In short, we cannot rely on the wards of Lord Linos alone.

Matkal looks down and Knogen smiles bitterly at his words. The old general continued to speak as he looked at them.

"The other thing is that the Kingdom of Tana is definitely backed by Klimiana. The Sulphate, which was destroyed this time, is a country that had kept its distance from the Crimiana. Naturally, it was an independent country, so to speak, that kept its distance from our country as well. The fact that they attacked this country is a sign of their intention to destroy any country that is not in line with Crimiana. The enemy is not only the Kingdom of Thana, but also the Church of Klimiana and all the nations associated with it.

When he had finished, he let out a small sigh, lowered his voice, and opened his mouth again.

"So this could be the biggest war the world has ever seen, a war that could split the world in two," he said.

Hearing these words, Matkal's back straightened. I watch him and slowly open my mouth.

The general is right. We need to rethink our strategy as soon as possible. In particular, we need to rethink our strategy for the defense of Agartha. Let's start with Knogen and see what he comes up with. Keep in mind that the enemy seems to be very fast and mobile. General and Mato, please review the army so far. Are we not planning to fight in case the wizard falls?　I don't think it's the same as the old days, when we would just charge ...... with our spears. I'd like you to think about that with Sidi and the other dwarves."

Yes, sir.

Mato, please.

"...... got it."

"Sir, ...... Mr. Rinos, I'm sorry."

Suddenly, Teshi opened his mouth. I look at him.

"What's wrong, Tashi?"

"As a matter of fact, when we escaped from the city of Hythell, we rescued Princess Rufana of Sulphate along with my compatriots. This Princess Rufana has expressed her desire to meet you, Master Linos.

What kind of person is this Princess Rufana?

He was one of the front line commanders in the battle of Hyssell.

"Perhaps he knows all about the battles in HySel."

Lafayence's eyes are sharp and his mouth is open. Matkal nodded his head in agreement.

"Princess Rinos, you should hear from Princess Rufana about the battle. The sooner the better."

"...... Okay, fine. Thessy, is it possible to see the princess now?"

"I think it is possible. Princess Rufana said she would like to see you as soon as possible.

All right, I'll see you now. Should I have them come here to ......?"

I look at Lafayence and the others. He nodded broadly without saying a word. As if on cue, Teyss left the room at a quick pace.
