Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

To put the result first, the Norno-Elsmo allied forces made a night attack on the Seifand Empire forces encamped in the mountains behind the Karza Castle, and lost.

I say defeated, but in reality, the battle did not end in a large scale, but only in a skirmish. In a sense, the commander of the enemy side is excellent because he didn't send his men charging into the battle.

In my opinion, this was a battle that the Safan Empire could not afford to lose. Since they knew the structure of the mountain where their army was holed up, they should have known the route the enemy was going to take. Once the invasion route was known, all that remained was to place soldiers there. Even a fool commander could do that much.

In addition, the troops in the back of the mountain had Hollum who had defended the Karza Castle. With his command over the soldiers, it would be difficult for both NONO and ELSMO to win.

However, in a battle, there are some things that can only be understood by trying them out. There are no absolutes in battle. Sadakichi and the other fairy dragons told us the course of the battle. I was surprised when they suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, but as I listened to their reports I knew that if the Safanid army were to be defeated, I would head there immediately.

However, my fears proved to be unfounded. Sadakichi reported that the Norno-Elsmo allied forces had attacked the Seifand forces, but most of them had been killed before they reached the enemy lines. The Imperial troops fired bows and arrows and magic from the mountain tops and defeated the enemy in a rout. The allied forces, expecting a general attack, quickly descended the mountain and pulled up to the Karza Castle. The battle lasted only about an hour.

In the morning, Sadakichi reappeared. I asked him what had happened since then.

"Ah, Sadakichi!"

Suddenly, I thought I heard a voice and saw Allyria standing outside the room. She ran to the window, jumped up on the wall, and hugged Sadakichi, who was standing in front of the window, with both hands.

"Cute~ Sadakichi, cute~!"

He was nuzzling Sadakichi's face with his cheek. Sadakichi himself does not know what to do and looks rather annoyed.

"Hey, Aelyria! Let go of Sadakichi.

"No. Hey, Sadakichi, be my child!"

"Sadakichi is busy. Let him go. And how did you know Sadakichi was here?

He told me.

Told you?　By who?"

"Ryu-o-kun."

"That son of a b*tc*. ......"

I point my hands at Alyria and close my eyes, trying to create a powerful ward.

I hear Sadakichi's voice. I look over and see Alyria tightening her grip on Sadakichi as hard as she can. He is slowly moving his wings, complaining about something.

"Arilia, let go of me! Sadakichi is in pain."

"Yeah~"

With a disgruntled look on her face, Alyria pulled herself away from Sadakichi. He turned his face heavenward and puffed out his chest as if breathing slowly.

I heard that a dragon's weak point is its mouth. They always breathe through their mouths because they have no nose. If their mouths were completely blocked, they could not breathe and would suffocate.

I apologized to Sadakichi for what I had done and ordered him to step back. Immediately after that, he disappeared.

"Mr. Otto, I want a dragon, too. ...... Mr. Otto?"

"...... heard good things. I'll ask May to ...... gogogo."

I heard later that my face looked very bad at that moment. No, I did it to protect my daughter from a stalker. It's not because I don't like the Dragon King himself.

After that, more reports came in from the faerie dragons, but so far, they say the battlefield is calm. I went to work in the capital of Agartha, and after finishing my work, I decided to go to the Castle of Khaza. It was just after noon.

I had lunch with Sidhi and Escalina at the palace in the capital, and then moved to the Castle of Khaza. When we arrived at the main camp, there was some kind of commotion among the soldiers. When we asked them what was going on, they told us that enemy soldiers had escaped from the Karza Castle and offered to surrender to the Seyfund Imperial Army. I immediately headed for the main camp, where I found the commander-in-chief and his staff lined up in a row, creating a tense atmosphere.

The Commander-in-Chief stared at me and opened his mouth in a low voice, as if to threaten me.

"Where have you been?"

"In the woods: ......"

"...... You're still a daredevil."

"Yes. I was just checking on the battle last night. It seems that the enemy retreated quickly."

"......"

"You should have attacked Karza Castle when the enemy moved. If we had done that, wouldn't the castle have been recaptured by now?"

The commander-in-chief makes no reply to my words. He just stares at me.

"......Yes. We had to minimize the damage to our own forces, didn't we? If we attack a castle, we will meet with a lot of resistance from the enemy, and we will also have to fight with the army that has retreated. If we did so, we might even suffer damage in the thousands if we were not careful."

One of the staff members bows his head toward me. He seems to be asking me to give him a break. Sama was sitting next to him. He is smiling as well as the bureaucrat next to him. As you can guess, there was an argument going on until a few minutes ago that we should have attacked the now deserted Karza Castle .......

"I just heard that some people have surrendered from the castle. Can you tell us the current situation?

The enemy is currently holed up in the castle. However, the water in the castle has already run out and a large number of people are expected to surrender.

It was Sarma who answered. I turn to him.

"Then why don't you send one of your arrows to the enemy and advise them to surrender? If you write to them that you will spare their lives and allow them to retreat back to their home country, they will surrender their spears.

"Yes, I would like to do that. ......"

Sarma glances at the commander-in-chief. Hm?　You don't think he's against it?

"Lukewarm."

He kept his sharp gaze on me, as if he could read my mind with his gaze, and continued to say more.

"I don't think that our enemies will be too eager to fall on us with such a single arrow.

"Why don't you try ......?"

Of course I will. We're going to make them taste our fear in their bones.

The commander-in-chief stood up and opened his mouth to the staff members standing by his side.

"Fire the arrow at the castle!　If you do not surrender to us by noon tomorrow, write that we will kill you all!"

The bureaucrats are puzzled. That's right. Such language will only harden the enemy's attitude. In fact, it would be the worst of all possible evils, and the enemy would most likely move to a death-defying attack.

However, the Commander-in-Chief, perhaps sensing such an atmosphere, continued his words.

"The arrow sentences alone do not convey the horror of our forces. Before you fire your arrows, cut off the heads of all those who have surrendered!　And lay their heads in front of the castle!"

......What did you just say?
