On the other hand, the Imperial forces were camped near Ze'at and were holding military discussions just like the kingdom army.

"'What's the report from the reconnaissance unit?"

"' They said that Fort Ze'at apparently looks the same as the   in the past rpoert . So it should be easy to take it down!"

"Hmm. If that's the case, we'll destroy the fort with our artillery units as originally planned, and then send in our infantry units to control the inside of the fort."

 "A simple task indeed."

"But I have one concern."

"Yes. The kingdom has transference magic. How far can the kingdom handle transference magic? We'll have to find out."

"How is the investigation going?"

"What? As for transference magic, there is no one who can use it. They say that transference magic can only be used through a magic circle."

"I see. Then there's nothing to be afraid of."

"I see. But it's still troublesome. After all, supplies and personnel can be transported as much as they want using the transfer magic"

 In other words, the other side will probably decide to hunker down. Well, no matter how strong Fort Ze'at is, it's already a relic of the past. It's not  threat to us !. Hahahahahaha!"

 It was a very optimistic , but it could not be helped. The Empire is the largest country on the continent, with the largest population, technology, and power.

 In the past, they couldn't bring down Fort Ze'at, but not  now .

 This  in the past . The empire of today would be no obstacle to Fort Ze'at.

 However, that was a few years ago. Ze'at has grown since Leolde came to Ze'at. The people, technology, and power are at a level that is unmatched by the Empire.

  they wondered which of them would be caught off guard.

"For that matter,  what Master Zephyr doing?"

"I called for sir  Zephyr, but he said he wanted to be left alone until the battle started, so I didn't invite him here."

"I see. Well, sir  Zephyr-is acting alone this time, so there's no problem if he doesn't come."

 We'll just do our job.""

 After that, the military discussion was over and the curtain was raised to start the war.

 The Imperial troops marched in with their artillery units, as originally planned, to destroy Fort Ze'at.

 The forest had been cleared and the Imperial artillery advanced in front of Ze'at Fort, which was now a flat plain with a good view. As they stopped in their tracks, the gates of Ze'at Fort opened.

"What is it? Are you going to surrender?""

 The imperial commander stared at the open gates of Ze'at Fort with a suspicious look on his face. Then, from the other side of the Ze'at fort, a group of knights, probably an infantry unit, appeared.

"Infantry? But there are not enough of them for that. ......""

 The commander was puzzled, but the knights who came out of the fort were armed and did not have a white flag  ofr surrending , so he considered them  as enemies.

"They are not envoys of peace, nor do they surrender. Then I suppose those knights are the enemy. Artillery units!"

 B"e ready to fire at any time!"

"Ha!

 The cannons developed by the imperial army are aimed at the knights by the bombardment troops.

 And the knights, with Barbaroto in the lead, pushed forward toward the imperial army.

 Barbaroto, who was standing in the lead, began to speak as if to inspire everyone.

"Our swords are for the  country !"

"Our swords are for our country!"

"Our shields are for the people!"

"Our shields are for our people!"

"Our pledge is to Ze'at, our honor is to the Lord. Our allegiance is here and now!"

"For the defense of Ze'at, I give my life, my soul, here!"

"All swords drawn! All , charge!"

"I can't believe it!"

 A total of two hundred knights united their ambitions and rushed out with the momentum to defeat and destroy the enemy.

 The commander of the imperial army snickered when he saw them.

"Huh. They are fools who mistook courage for recklessness."

 Or they are unable to face reality?"

 Well, I don't care either way. Artillery units, prepare to fire!"

 The artillery unit prepares to fire the cannon according to the commander's order. All that remains is to wait for the order to fire. After confirming that the knights were sufficiently attracted and within striking distance, the commander gave an angry order.

"Fire!"

 With a thud, the artillery unit  shoot  from  their cannons. .

 The cannon shoots out fire-attribute explosive bombs. When it reached  lands, it explodes and blows up the surrounding area. A direct hit would inevitably result in death.

 As the commander had planned, the explosive shells hit Barbaroto and the others. As the flames engulfed Barbaroto and his men, the Imperial troops were convinced of their own victory.

"It's nothing personal. They were foolish to come to their deaths so willingly."

 Closing his eyes, the commander put his cap back on and opened his eyes to resume his march, only to be met with a a shocking sight.

 To his surprise, the knights who were supposed to have been hit by a large number of explosive were coming towards him unharmed.

 Both the commander and the members of the artillery unit shouted in surprise at this.

"What the hell? That's ridiculous!"

 Following the commander's instructions, the impatient soldiers regained their composure and loaded the cannons with magic power. The commander confirmed that the cannons were ready to launch and opened fire again.

"Don't panic! Give  them another shot!"

 The second rain of bombs hit the knights. However, the knights have a magic shield, a magical tool given to them by Leolde.

"Fire!"

 

The shield, which was deployed without consuming any of its own magic power, successfully blocked the imperial bombardment.

 The imperial army's face twisted in fear when they saw once again the knights who had been enveloped in the flames of the explosion jump out of the flames completely unharmed.

"Commander!"

 The second-in-command called out to the commander to ask for instructions, but the commander was  angry and froze.

(Why? ?)

 (What the hell did they do? )

 (Are they developing a weapon that we don't know about?)

( If that's the case, it's not good. This war is going to cause more damage than we thought.)

"Commander!"

"What? Artillery units, fall back! Infantry units,  in attack !"

 The commander was confused in his thoughts, but he came to his senses when his second-in-command called him out and sent the artillery unit back.

 When the artillery unit moved back, the infantry unit moved forward to confront the knights instead.

 The infantry was equipped with swords and a magic gun developed by the Empire. The magic gun is literally a gun that can shoot magic as bullets.

 Instead of ammunition, the gun is loaded with magic power. In addition, it can also change its attributes.

"Fire at once !"

 The knights were attacked by countless ice bullets. They  couldn't see how they were blocked by the bombs earlier, but they could see the bullets.

 The bullets fired from the infantry seemed to hit the knights directly, but they were shot away before they could hit them. When the commander saw this, his mouth twisted.

(I see. I thought there was some secret, but they were just deploying barriers!)

 (Then there is no problem. If we continue to outnumber them, they'll run out of magic power. And then we'll just shoot them when they're defenseless!)

 Basically, knights and soldiers have little magic power and can only use it to strengthen their bodies. That is why they wear armor to increase their defense .

 On the other hand,  mages have a lot of magic power, so they tend to wear clothes that are easy to move around in. The reason for this is that they can deploy barriers for defense.

 This is why many people believe that knights do not put up barriers.

 That is why the commander was also mistaken. The knights of Ze'at were only using the little magic they had to put up barriers.

 The commander had judged that he could win if he continued to attack like this.
