Chapter 110 – Galland Empire’s First Army is Repulsed
Corpses as far as one could see.
This scenery can be thought as a natural scene in a battlefield but only soldiers from one country have fallen.
「Iyaa, my liege! There were quite a number of strong n! 」
Sainos ca to in a good mood. He sheaths his sword and laughs.
「Have you seen soone valuable Sainos? Tell Sunny or Laurel to look for slaves who are still alive. 」
When I issue an instruction, Sainos answered lightly and walked through the mountain of corpses.
The guild mbers are looking for survivors from rcenaries or slaves in pairs and are taking turns in treating them.
If this goes well, it ans that I can gather good quality soldiers for my country.
The slave that Maeas recovered is necessary for the operation of the air transport and the surplus manpower can be used as national staff in the capital.
There is already an overwhelming shortage of soldiers in Val Valhalla castle what more in the capital.
Currently, we hired rcenaries as soldiers and asked around the city who wants to be one but the number is totally insufficient.
Then, we must make the most of this war.
It will be a lucky find if there is a talented person among those who have been forced to be enslaved.
With that in mind, I ordered an attack using weak magic but it gave them more damage than I expected.
I don’t mind if the regular soldiers of the empire, who lost their will to fight, die helplessly.
However, it’s not good for the slaves and the rcenaries to just die like that.
I thought that half of them would survive but it seems that only 10 percent survived.
No, there were also so people who seed to be regular soldiers of the Galland Empire who managed to withdraw.
While thinking of such a thing, I sat down beside the dumbfounded Sherry and Rihanna who were sitting on the ground.
「Are you okay?」
When she heard that, Sherry bounced her body up and looked at .
「I-I’m okay. Ju-just a little scared…」
When Sherry says so, Rihanna shakes her trembling hands and opened her mouth.
「…Your military power is frightening. If you have this much power, no matter how much tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers one gathered, it will be aningless.」
When Rihanna said so, Keira, who’s standing next to her, opened her mouth.
「…This is the end of Galland Empire. This is not just a great damage but a historical defeat. Even if they manage to save their country, it will just follow a course of decline.」
When Keira said that, the three of them did not speak for a while but Sherry looked at and raised a voice as if she could not bear the silence.
「A, ano, I did not see anyone drinking magic potion. Do you have a way to restore magic power aside from magic potion?」
Sherry said so and showed a smile sohow.
It was a questionable twitching smile but I shrugged my shoulder without pointing it out.
「The magic that was used earlier were beginner level magic. The magic consumption of those are small so anyone can keep shooting for an hour.」
When I answered, the three of them turned to .
「A, ano… I thought all of those magic are high level magic…」
「One hour… 」
「Looking at those from here, I saw a rain of rocks but… 」
Words which seems to be complaint jumped out from the mouths of the three one after another and I nodded while laughing with a wry smile.
「This ti, I’ve had around 20 mages. It is impossible for to pour them a rain of rocks alone. The most I could do is pouring 1,000 or 2,000 rocks. 」
When I said that, the three of them seem to have been at a loss for words this ti.
After looking at the state of the three, I looked around. Sainos is heading for us from afar while being accompanied by a lot of soldiers.
「My liege! I brought those who want to be soldiers in our country! 」
Sainos stood in front of saying so. I looked at the people lining up behind him.
One of them was the wolf beastkin called Barrel, the one who fought Sainos.
Still, how did he survive that rain of magic?
The wound he received from his battle with Sainos was cured so no blood is falling out now.
There are five other beastkin n and three beastkin won. There are eight human n and two human won. And, there are two elf n and two elf won.
22 people in total.
My guild mbers who can use recovery magic such as Laurel and Sunny are still walking around healing collapsed soldiers. There is no doubt that soldier candidates for my country will increase.
「Good, there will be a recruitnt test at the Val Valhalla castle. Scout more and look for talented people in the survivors. I, Sherry, Rihanna, and Keira will check the state of the other imperial army for the anti. 」
When I said that, Sherry and Rihanna stood up in a hurry.
Barrel spoke to who tried to use flight magic.
「Excuse . May I have a mont Your Majesty King?」
Barrel said that in a way that seems to be not accustod to honorific.
「What?」
When I asked back, Barrel slightly distorted his face and looked at .
「I will obey the winner as the law of our clan. However, if I could just confirm the safety of my family whom I left in my hotown…」
Barrel said so, I gently nod and open my mouth.
「Ah, if you’re that anxious, I’ll take you there myself when this war is over. Your family may co along with you too.」
When I told him so, the others who were quietly listening until then begun pleading too.
No no, are all of you going to take your families?
Well, I’ll have my guild mbers help them so their request can be completed imdiately. Maybe.
When I see the pleased forr slaves, it is not unpleasant.
There is even a crying guy.
「Well, listen to Sainos over there for now. Also, the war is still in progress. Although I’m not that busy, I have to go ahead with the declaration of war.」
When I said that, Barrel looked at with a grimace face.
「…I apologize if I’m being impolite but this is not a war. It is a one-sided trampling by an overwhelming force.」
To the words that Barrel said plainly, I nodded lightly and opened my mouth.
「I took a great deal of restraint this ti. When we fought the imperial army previously, the topography changed and no one survived. It has a bad aftertaste. This ti I thought it was a success, but it wasn’t.」
I need to be careful next ti. I removed my glance from the frightened forr slaves and casted flight magic.
, Sherry, Rihanna, and Keira float into the sky and fly to the next battlefield.
Now, are those slaves usable?
There might be an individual who’ll bear a grudge against us this ti but they should give up because this is war.
How many elites will join our army when this war is over? I, who’s looking forward to it, smiled softly.
