"Here we are, here we are! Don't be frightened, never here! Let those monsters go any further!"

　a desperate voice echoing through the battlefield
　However, the soldiers of the expeditionary force who heard the voices were desperate to suppress the fear that existed in them, rather than to improve their fighting spirit.
　That's only natural.
　What we are looking for right now is something that is very invisible to human beings.
　If it had been Mercurio's soldiers who were heading for them... or cavalry, they probably wouldn't have been so frightened.
　But it's not that kind of person that's coming toward us now.
　The body has tentacles, scales, and tails.
　If that's all, it might be misinterpreted as a beast or a monster of a human figure, but it was a different story if it was a mixture of those characteristics.
　It's like moving the roots of a tree, but having apparently raw tentacles growing from the back.
　At first glance, the upper body looks like a lizard, but the lower body stretches like a snake.
　a giant centipede with a human face
　something like a gorilla with green fur and huge eyes all over its body
　It's like countless tentacles stretching out of a giant mantis.
　There were still many other things that were hard to describe.
　Such monsters...No soldier is afraid to see the demagogues heading straight toward them.
　No, it's going to be good enough to be in a state of depression.

"d*mn it! Why are these spookies here?"
"Not at all. I'm sure that's a beast soldier used in the Spring War, right? I'm sure you've been deprived of your authority from your Highness Mercurio."
"This is not the time to think about it. We can't let them break through here, archers!"

　A large number of arrows are fired from behind in response to the commander's voice.
　But... a demon soldier is far superior to a human soldier in pure combat power.
　Avoid arrows that fly at you, and knock off anything that seems to hit you with tentacles, hands and feet, or with mucus covering your body without any sign of avoiding it from the beginning.
　An attack that would normally be released as a preemptive attack and would dampen some of the enemy's strength will be nullified with little effect.
　On the contrary, soldiers who saw the scene were frightened by the unexpected and even demoralized.
　Then, the attacking demon soldiers rush straight into the front row of the punitive force.

"I can't stand it here! They're spears! Use spears! They're... "

　The man in command of his men suddenly falls silent in the middle of shouting.
　A soldier nearby swallows his breath as he approaches his commander to ask him how to fight and how to form a formation.
　It was a corpse that had been gouged cleanly from the right ear to the eyeball and around the temporal area.
　My brain spills out of the wound and I can't help but put things back in my stomach.
　Even this soldier had some experience of escaping the battlefield, but he still had a scene that made him spit out.

`Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,

　If someone is throwing up like that on the battlefield, they will naturally be targeted...

"Death, oh dear!"

　A demon soldier whose upper body consists of a Golem-like stone holds up his arms and shakes them down.
　Stone arms would have crushed soldiers' heads.
　But the demon soldier leans his head at the sight that is spreading before him.
　My arms... I don't see anything beyond my elbows, as a human being.

"Huh? Why is my arm..."
"The man who abandoned his appearance," Don't think I can kill my soldiers so easily!"

　The blow released with the words cuts through the upper body made of stone without difficulty, and the demon soldiers sink to the earth sprinkling blood around them.

"Don't be afraid! They run away in deformed form, saying that they won't be strong in human form after all! We'll never have a soldier led by Perfir against them! Stand up! And stand up! This is the battle that determines our future! For the sake of family, friends, lovers! Get ready for the weapons you have!"

　At the cry of Perfiel, the soldiers who heard it clench their arms again.
　If we lose like this, I wonder what kind of future we have for ourselves and our families who have joined the punitive force.

"Lose... lose!"
`Oh, my God!'
"Take up arms! If we lose this battle, we will have no future!"

　As soldiers talk to each other like that, they stand up to the demons with weapons in their hands.
　It is true that demagogues are more overwhelming in their individual abilities. But the difference in numbers is still power.
　It took Ray's extraordinary strength to outstrip the quantity of quality.
　As a result, the punitive force is gradually pushing back the demons, and at this rate, Mercurio's army can counterattack them.
　Perfiel thinks so, albeit with caution... suddenly he looks to the ground.
　There was... really grass growing there before I didn't you know it.
　If it were spring or summer, I wouldn't have any particular doubts.
　Even if it was autumn, I didn't have to worry about it if it was just after summer.
　However, autumn has already deepened, and it's about time it snows.
　At that time of year, the grass... do you ever see lush grass growing?
　Whispers in the Perfir that instinct is dangerous.

"They are all on grass growing on the ground..."

　Be careful.
　I suppose you wanted to say so.
　But it was clearly too late to give advice.

"Wow, oh, oh, "Oh, my God!"
"d*mn it, d*mn it, d*mn it, d*mn it!"
"d*mn it, cut it, cut it! Why are you so..."

　Perfiel's ears echoed with screams, confusion, and confusion.
　I looked to the voice to see what had happened, and there was an incredible scene there.
　One person is constrained by grass growing from the ground, strangled by grass entering through a gap in his armour and gasping red.
　Some are already dead after being pierced through the roots of trees growing from the ground.
　Some are shrieking with severe pain as thorns pierce their bodies against their companions, being swayed by thorn ivy.

"This is...!? Is it a demon soldier?"

　After a moment of hesitation, I immediately recall the material I had previously received from Kabazid about the Mystery.
　It was written that some of the demagogues were capable of moving underground or underwater, though rare.
　It was written that such a demon soldier had a very low rate of success in the ceremony, and that he had been punished for disobedience to the command of his subordinates who had seized it...

(At least three kinds? Was the content of that report false? I need to talk to the person who wrote that report slowly.)

　mutter inwardly, approach the soldier strangled by the ivy of the grass, and flash a long sword.With a single blow, the strangled ivy is cut off, and the other ivy is cut off in a continuous attack.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

　They leave soldiers on the spot thanking them and release them one after another from the roots of the trees and ivy of the thorns.
　However, Perfiel can only attack on the ground.
　Most of the opponents under the ground had no means of attack.
　Soldiers tried to pull the roots of cut ivy and trees, but in the end they only cut off in the middle, and no one underground appears to be a demon soldier.
　Furthermore, the battle against demagogues on the ground has not ended and is still ongoing.
　He is not surprised at the appearance of the magician, and he fights even with the magician by taking advantage of his large numbers, but when he thinks about when the attack comes from under his feet, he naturally lacks concentration on the magician.
　Despite Perfiel's struggle, this front will be half deadlocked in close quarters.





"Don't send them round! Let everyone know that we are the strongest cavalry in the Empire of Bestia!"

　a place separate from the clash of Perfir's forces and the Mystery
　There, cavalry and cavalry clashed against each other.
　Meanwhile, a cavalry unit under the direct control of Schles, famous for its elite.

"Here we go! They show the beauty of white roses on this battlefield! I'll tell you that the thorns in the beautiful roses are fatal to those who want to touch us!"

　the White Rose Knights, on the other hand, under Fritzione's direct command.
　They are both one of the most powerful cavalry units in the Westian Empire, and there is a sense of rivalry and feud between them.
　It was obvious that if the two cavalry units collided on the battlefield, they would have been a fierce battle.

"Shoot!"
"I won't lose, and shoot them all!"

　arrows and magic fired in unison from the rear of a cavalry unit under the direct command of Schles
　As if to counterattack it, arrows and magic were similarly fired from the fifth and sixth units of the White Rose Knights.
　Arrows are intercepted by magic, and magic is intercepted by arrows.
　Some arrows and magic that have passed through such an interception are knocked off and cut off by the weapons possessed by the cavalry.
　It's hard to give a good blow to each other only because they have the ability to call each other first-class.
　Cavalry with weapons for proximity tend to separate from one unit to another, quickly move, and discuss weapons, cutting off the other, or knocking off the top of the horse.
　Also, some troops try to use their mobility, which is a characteristic of cavalry, to get behind the enemy, but the enemy should not overlook it without saying anything, and they spread out to encircle... and the troops who were trying to get behind the scenes.
　In the midst of such a whirlwind battle Angela orders each unit of the White Rose Knights one after another.

"The 2nd and 3rd squads must move ostensibly so that they can go around behind the enemy. The Fourth Squadron must pierce the side of the unit trying to block it. The Fifth Unit will give its aid."

　The White Rose Knights move about freely, following a rapid stream of orders.

"Wow... you can't go into that, can you?"
"If you go in there badly, don't kill me."
"But it's great, isn't it?" You're fighting head-on against the cavalry under Prince Schles' direct command, and even."
"Oh, I knew you were strong, but honestly, I never thought you'd stop."
"Until there was a civil war, I always thought the White Rose Knights were for ceremonial purposes."
"Oh... I'm sure," In fact, they appeared quite often at ceremonies, and that's not a mistake, is it?"
"You mean the ceremonial knights had strength, too?"
"No, it's usually the other way around."

　That's how we communicate with the White Rose Knights.
　Originally, they should support the actions of the White Rose Knights, but since it was expected to be a highly skilled battle between cavalry units, they are temporarily watching the battle between cavalry units, believing that poor cooperation could cause damage to their allies.
　Of course, they were not only watching, but also watching the other enemy forces for strange intrusions in this battle.
　The reason why the cavalry are so focused on fighting each other in spite of such a role is probably because it was a proper move to describe it as a straight line.
　When the commander gives instructions, the swift movement of the command makes it seem like a creature of cavalry.
　That's why both the punitive and Mercurio armies have refrained from engaging in this battle.

"You must be unscrupulous, but I want to see this fight forever."

　One of the soldiers muttered casually, but it seemed to express the feelings of all the soldiers here.
　I know and see that the cavalry are fighting each other, and that some of them are taking their lives at this momentarily.
　Still, as far as I was concerned, I was concerned with a battle that could even be described as artistic.
