Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Ville, the king of the Kingdom of Tana, was staring in the direction of a pillar of fire that suddenly rose up behind the enemy lines. At that moment, a retainer rushes into the main camp. He looks at his retainer who runs silently toward him.

"I say!　Lord Commander Giggis Crescendo, he has been killed!

While his entourage is astonished, Ville asks a rapid-fire question to the retainer in front of him without changing his expression at all.

What was that pillar of fire just now?

"Ha!　It seems a soldier blew himself up. Mr. Zigis was caught up in it. ......"

"The Zigis unit attacking the right flank, retreat to your original position immediately!"

"Ha!"

"The second-in-command of Ziggis was Bukan, wasn't he? Tell Bukan. Tell him to pull his men back and get them in order. From now on you may not charge without permission from our main camp.

"Ha!"

"In return, shoot arrows like rain at those who betrayed the Lord God from the other side of the river! I see they have no shields! If they do, they are rather small. A flying attack will work well. Oh, and tell them that they can use their normal bows!

With a sigh, Ville watched as the soldier bowed and walked away.

"You fool. Perhaps he was in a hurry to capture the woman. We lost a good man. But I will take it as a compliment. A warrior dies on the battlefield. Ziggis died in the field of battle with flying colors. He will be the protector of our country. ...... But still, the enemy fights like a follower of our Faith. The soldiers who died with Ziggis will not receive the blessings of His Holiness the Pope, and thus of the Lord God. ....... Pity."

He slowly shakes his head from side to side as he focuses on the battle taking place in front of him.

The battle was at a stalemate. The truth is that Tana's forces are attacking well, but not aggressively enough.

"......Where are the Sandanj forces?"

"They seem to be at a loss to organize their troops, and it will probably be a few more hours before they arrive here."

"Hmph, they'll have it all sorted out by then."

Having said that, the state of the battle was far more sluggish than Ville had anticipated. However, he is such a fan of war that he even looks forward to the unexpected course of the battle, and with a twinkle in his eye, he contemplates his next move.

"Kuk......, the enemy's defense is stronger than I thought."

"Mm. We're almost there, though. The reason why the enemy line seems to be holding is because of Lafayence's position in the front line.

The staff members' voices are heard by Ville, who looks at them with a "huh" in his voice. The staff members, noticing this, bow their heads and fall silent.

"Good, go on."

"...... Ha. That Lafayence guy. No matter how hard we try to provoke him, he refuses to break ranks. That's what's keeping Agartha's army, and the enemy's army as a whole, from collapsing.

"......As I thought, the enemy wants to force Sandanji's army to attack our flank. I will not let that happen. They're going to attack us. Call Lumine!

A few moments later, a man in bright red armor appeared in front of Ville. He was nearly two meters tall, his entire body was covered in steel armor, and he had an odd appearance with only a few open eyes. He knelt down on one knee in front of Ville with a serious look on his face.

I am here at your service.

"I leave you 20,000 men. You will crush the vanguard of Agartha's army.

As you wish.

"The time is right."

With these words, he stood up, drew the sword at his waist, and shouted a loud command to Lafayence's camp.

"Attack Agartha with all your might!　Defeat the enemy in front of you and capture the head of Agartha King Linos!"

The staff bowed their heads in unison and left Ville as if they had been scattered by a cloud.

Meanwhile, I was writing a letter with a faerie dragon on my shoulder. The faerie dragon I had sent to Nike had returned with his letter.

I write a note on a piece of paper, glancing at the front line. My handwriting is a mess, I know, but we are in the middle of a battle. I'll have to cut him some slack.

Nike's letter said that they had finally crossed the Kakona River and were rushing toward us. Apparently, it had taken some time to organize the troops. His impatience and regret were evident in his handwriting. I asked Fairy Dragon about it, and he told me that Nike's son had opposed the decision to send out the army. It is difficult to understand this move with a blade at his throat, but after a shouting match with his son, he beat him up and moved the army. The beaten son was taken away by the soldiers, which is the reason for the delay in his arrival at the camp. I give the paper to the dragon, acknowledging that the battle has begun, that we are now on the defensive because we are the weaker side, and that I would like him to flank Thana's army if possible.

At that moment, my shoulders become lighter. I can barely use magic around me, but I can only use it for about 30 centimeters around me. For this reason, I have to carry them on my shoulders when I talk with faerie dragons. My shoulders are a little stiff because of the unexpected weight of them.

"Ri...... Rinos-sama!　That one!"

I looked up at the sound of a nearby soldier's voice and saw a unit in the center charging toward Lafayence. A man in red armor was hurling the bodies of the soldiers into the air with his spear. On the contrary, about half of the left wing troops that had attacked Vieille's army earlier were now crossing the river toward Lafayence. This is not good.

"Ah!"

I concentrate my magic power in my right hand and create a huge fireball.

"Share Fire!"

A hot fireball was shot out, but it quickly dissipated in mid-air. I tried to cast a magic spell on it, but it seemed to be in vain.

"Vieille!

"Yes."

"Lafayence is in trouble!　Please!　Help him!"

Her face lights up. Then she puts on the biggest smile I have ever seen on her face.

"Yes!　With pleasure!"

I get off from Ilimo, beckon to Posehay, who has been waiting behind Vieille, and call him to me. Then I open my mouth to the narwhal who is standing by.

"Ikkaku!　Confuse the enemy troops!　Especially do something about that red bastard!　Can you do it?"

"Yes, sir."

Immediately after he replied, Ikkaku looked at the owaras who were standing by. Then they disappeared like smoke.

"Amazing ......!"

"This is no time to be impressed. What is my role here?

"Wait a minute. Order!　Send the third and fifth squadrons to the vanguard!　Fourth squad, hold your ground!"

The messenger replied, "Ha," and immediately got on his horse and went to give orders to the troops who were guarding my flanks. As I watched, I spoke to Vieille.

"You, attack Tana's army.

"Awe, sir. You're going to attack that left flank, aren't you?"

No, that's not it. Instead of attacking the front, go around the flank."

"What?"

"Move around the flanks and move your men behind the enemy's back and to the rear. That means ......."

"Yes, sir. Leave it to me. However, if Tana's army attacks us when we are out of position, Agartha's army will be encircled. In that case, we'll leave some of our men behind so that they won't be able to ...... attack our thin main line, won't we?"

"That's what I mean. Please."

I approach Posehai and Vieille just as their bodies are about to touch. At that moment, Vieille hugged me tightly. She even intertwined her legs with mine.

"I miss the warmth of the King of Agartha.

"You're so noisy. Hey, come here, you too."

I grabbed Posehay with my free right hand as if to hold him and activated the shifting wards.
