Betrayed by My Best Friend and Dumped by My Fiancée, I’ve Decided to Enjoy Life as I Please ~ For Some Reason, a Bunch of Crazy Fanatics Keep Pledging Their Loyalty to Me~
“I’ll remind you why I’m called ‘military leader’ …… as much as I hate it. I call upon you, soldiers of the battlefield. Defeat the great and the unknown, strike down the famous generals, and offer up victory before me. Victory over the iron armies!”
As soon as Claire finished chanting, my eyes were met with a massive magic circle that covered the entire sky.
I was impressed, stunned, and amazed at how Claire, who has an even greater amount of magic power than the fairies who are skilled in magic, can do such things when she uses magic seriously.
When I was impressed or stunned, a large number of something fell from the magic circle.
As they fell to the ground, they changed shape and became like knights holding spears.
Moreover, from this vantage point, it looks as if its entire body is made of iron.
There are 500 of them at a glance.
“Is it summoning magic? ……”
“Yes, Rex-sama. The quality and number of summoned targets of her summoning magic are out of standard compared to other summoning mages. It won’t stop unless the targets are destroyed, but that would be extremely difficult for ordinary soldiers, so she is a magician for this kind of war.”
It is true that no matter how much training you have, it is difficult or even impossible for most people to cut through steel.
A somewhat skilled adventurer could easily defeat an iron soldier, but 500 of them would be impossible to defeat at the same time.
From their point of view, it would be like an army of almost immortal soldiers closing in on them.
I understood her strength in this instant, even if I didn’t like it.
“I’ve never heard of summoning such a number with summoning magic,……! What kind of substandard would be able to achieve such a thing!”
“She is a genius of hard work. I have never seen a person who works as hard as she does, even though she has a talent that is superior to others from the start. And this is the result of that.”
“I can’t believe it,……, but even if human power can’t do it, wouldn’t magic easily melt or destroy them? And it doesn’t look like you can hold them back with more than ten times their number. ……”
Grave asked Iris a question that seemed to make her think.
It is true that no matter how strong they are against ordinary soldiers, they are weak against magic.
But I know that Iris will never fight a battle that she can’t win with such a weakness.
There must be some kind of countermeasure.
“Don’t worry, Grave-dono. There is more than one genius here. There is no other warlike mage like them.”
“Serena! You got it!”
“Y-yeah! I’ll take care of it onee chan! I call upon the spirit who presides over all the flames of the world. Use the fire of purgatory to burn away your enemies, and use its gentle warmth to protect your friends. The Spirit of the Blazing Flame!”
When Serena used her magic, an incredibly large magic circle enveloped the iron soldiers, and the next moment they were covered in red light.
The iron soldiers clad in red light gave off a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
“Whaa!? Spirit magic?!”
I was pretending to be calm, but inwardly I was also surprised.
The reason is that spirit magic is not a magic that can be used no matter how much you train for it.
Only life forms that are naturally favored by spirits, regardless of race, can use spirit magic, and its strength is proportional to how much the spirits are favored and the amount of magic power they have.
It is said that less than 1% of all life forms that can use magic can use this very rare magic, and I cannot use it either.
“Yes. She is the only spirit magician in our black-and-white dragon clan. There is no one better to partner with Claire than her.”
“But even so, she can’t do spirit magic on all those numbers. ……”
“I can only say that she is a talent. Considering that a typical magician can only cast spirit magic on a few people, she is a true genius. Is it your level?”
Both Grave and I were speechless.
The spirit magician can only use spirit magic and spirit magic does not have any means of attack.
If asked if it was unlucky, I would firmly say no.
Spirit magic increases the target’s attack power, defense, speed, magic resistance, and resistance to the attribute to which it is cast, and also makes it possible to use magic of the attribute to which it is cast.
The range of ability increase is incomparable to that of physical enhancement, and there is no magic that can match spirit magic when it comes to providing support.
The group in front of us now is almost impenetrable to poor weapons and magic due to spirit magic, and even if you want to escape from the side, they will use magic from a distance and you won’t be able to escape.
“Claire. Please advance the troops. Sound the gongs to open battle!”
“I’ll do it!”
“Understood!”
With the gongs, the ironclads rushed toward the enemy soldiers.
The Imperial troops seemed to be shaken up, but the enemy general was able to quickly set up a defensive formation.
“I see, the enemy general Matthew seems to be quite capable. Well, it won’t work against ……2 them.”
As Iris had said, the ironclad soldiers cut through the formation with no difficulty.
The number of ironclad soldiers in the formation is small and their numbers are large, so they are afraid of being caught in the middle.
Moreover…
“Claire. You can see a frayed spot on the right side of the enemy line, so please focus on that area. Serena, please focus on the center and increase the effectiveness of your spirit magic. The attack will probably be fierce.”
Iris gave precise instructions to the two, and they were able to achieve maximum results with minimum effort.
On the battlefield, it is important to convey information quickly and reliably, and in our case, Claire and Serena were able to do that.
In our case, Claire and Serena are remotely controlling the soldiers like a radio controller, so there are absolutely no discrepancies in information and instructions are passed on instantly.
There is no way they are not strong.
“The key to victory will be the skill of the soldiers. No matter how much the iron soldiers are strengthened by Serena’s spirit magic, if they are surrounded and beaten to a pulp, they will lose. How is Matthew and the others leading?”
“He is certainly a capable general. But he will never be able to defeat me in military strategy at this level.”
Iris smiles fearlessly, a devil’s smile in the eyes of the enemy.
But just as she said that, the battlefield was progressing more and more in our favor.
In the midst of all this, Grave suddenly calls out to Iris.
“Iris dono. Why are these two in the fourth and fifth seats?”
“Right now, we’re in the middle of a battle, but…well, the war situation doesn’t seem to change for a while, so it’s fine. It’s simple. The two of them are Mitsurugi who are together, so I’ll give them the fourth and fifth seats side by side. The order was decided by discussion between the two of us.”
The summoning magic that Claire uses is said to be rather unfavorable.
However, this is just my speculation, but the fact that Claire was desperately training in summoning magic was probably the result of her choice to take advantage of Serena’s spirit magic
If it were only Claire, she probably would not have joined Mitsurugi, but Claire is the one who can maximize Serena’s power and Serena is the one who can maximize Claire’s power.
I wouldn’t have chosen to have only Serena as the Mitsurugi and not Claire only
“I am not saying that. I’m asking why two people with this much power are in the fourth and fifth seats!”
“Ooh I see. I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you why those two are in those positions.”
This question was one that even I could answer.
I could have answered this question myself, so I would have let Iris concentrate on her leadership and I would have taken over the answer.
“Why? Rex dono. It is against your will that you don’t give strength due credit?”
“It’s simple. The top three are of a different caliber. Even if Claire and Serena were to fight at the same time, those three would easily defeat them all by themselves.”
“……?!”
If Roger, Anastasia, and the guy in the first seat were at this level, I could easily imagine them laughing and defeating them.
Hence, I get sick to my stomach many times,…….
“…… you guys really were this …… strong?”
“What, we’re going to be on the same side now. Let’s get along.”
I secretly thought that I would raise the likelihood of the Grave in order to form a stomach-churning alliance with Mitsurugi and our team.
