the cavalry under Schles and the White Rose Knights under Fritzione
　The two cavalry were still fighting.
　The battle, in which both sides act as if they were watching each other's gaps, seems to be a kind of art to those who see it.

"d*mn it, I wish you would let me take a little more time to look around!"
"Oh, my God! They're here again! Shoot! Shoot!"

　The infantry, working with the White Rose Knights, hurls arrows desperately at the punitive soldiers heading towards them.
　The expeditionary force suddenly became active, though some time ago they had even had time to watch the battles between cavalry units slowly.
　Soldiers of the expeditionary force, who appeared circling the battlefield between the cavalry, attacked the infantry.
　For the soldiers, it's not that they didn't understand what was going on...

`I'm sure that the water dragon was involved!'

　The soldier's eyes were directed at the dragon, who suddenly appeared on the battlefield some time ago.
　... yes. It's in the direction of course.
　The water dragon, which had been visible to the soldiers here until a short while ago, is no longer there.
　The soldiers who first saw the dragon took their breath away, but they looked as if they had been saved by the disappearance of the dragon.
　It's only natural that dragons made of water don't exist in that neighborhood.
　I could only think of a Rank A adventurer with the power to produce such a dragon, and I had never heard of a dragon belonging to the Mercurio army.
　In other words, those water dragons are their enemies.
　It's not funny to judge so.
　Digma, nicknamed Mizuryu, is also good at fighting with a large number of Mizuryu.
　Many soldiers were worried about when the dragon would peel their tusks at them, but in the end, the dragon only raged in the neighborhood where it first appeared, meaningless to the soldiers elsewhere.
　...however, there were more or less soldiers, irrespective of Mercurio's or punitive forces, in the area where the water dragons were raging, where Vihela and Digma were fighting.
　Even so, they were relieved that the damage had only been done in the area, and the movement of the soldiers of the punitive force became more active than ever before.
　A water dragon, originally one of the greatest military forces among the punitive forces.
　Since the dragon disappeared without attacking Mercurio's army, it is only natural for the punitive force to conclude that Digma was defeated by someone.
　If that were the case, the punitive force would have no choice but to take the next step.
　It was supposed to be a strategy in which Digma would play an active role and inflict great damage on Mercurio's forces.
　It's no wonder that this would not cause serious damage to the soldiers of the punitive force.
　Because of the failure, it turned into a battle that took advantage of nearly four times the difference in military strength of Mercurio's army.

"d*mn, as far as you can see, it's all over the place! Especially the front line in the center is about to wear out completely

　The soldier, shooting an arrow and looking near the center, shouted, but it was a calm voice that came back.

"The center front? I'm sure it's a force led by a traitorous aristocrat, so you don't have to worry about it. I think the headquarters is well aware of that and has worn it down."

　The words remind me of...
　It has been worn out by the attack of the punitive force, and even though it is already close to its limit, it is judged that there is no problem.
　Mercurio's soldiers could see nothing but their own fault in any way they had tried to betray them.
　If they had been betrayed in such a battle, the consequences of the battle might have been determined by the damage they suffered.

"But... there are too many people! Too many!"

　Soldiers who have completely lost their minds about the central front immediately complain to the soldiers of the expeditionary force who are approaching them.
　No matter how many arrows we rain, the numbers don't seem to have decreased at all.
　On the contrary, we were gradually decreasing the number.
　the state of the war in which the difference in military strength has reached its lowest point
　Of course, the White Rose Knights are not doing anything.
　If the soldiers who are working with us are wiped out, we will be besieged next.
　Nor could he allow the soldiers who had been working with him to be wiped out in the name of the White Rose Knights, who were also under Fritzione's direct control.
　But the cavalry under the direct control of Schles, which the White Rose Knights are now dealing with, is by no means a contemptible enemy.
　It's now that we manage to hold the upper hand, but it's as if we're holding the upper hand on a very dangerous balance.
　If you make a few mistakes, the advantage will quickly move to the other side.

(I thought it was strong, but not this much.) Prince Schles, who has a strong influence over the military, is it.)

　Widale murmurs inward, with his sword crossed with the captain of a troop of cavalry.
　People around him are also using weapons to fight against their cavalry.
　It's been some time since the cavalry had already collided with each other, and the White Rose Knights and the cavalry under the direct control of Schles are increasing in number. Few people were still killed in the war.
　The small number of deaths may have been due to the fact that we had prepared more of a kind of potion for this battle.
　The White Rose Knights have relatively large numbers of recuperative magic techniques in the Fifth and Sixth Legions, although the punitive forces control the imperial capital in pure numbers.
　This had left the White Rose Knights with a small death toll.
　However, even if the injury is cured by healing magic, it is not possible to return to the battle immediately if it is a minor injury, so many people have left the battlefield and gone backward.

(If the battle continues, there is no doubt that the smaller number of soldiers will be at a disadvantage.)

　They cut off the tip of a spear pointed out at them with a magic sword, and then cut off the captain's right arm with a returning blade and bite his teeth.
　Mercurio's forces were originally only about a quarter as powerful as the punitive force.
　It goes without saying what would happen if it consumed its forces at a similar rate.

"Why did you challenge me with that level of ability?"

　Widare's rant echoing around
　Many people are afraid of his voice because he easily overthrew the enemy captain of the enemy commander.
　In fact, the captain of Widale now had his right arm amputated and collapsed to the ground, and with the help of his men, he was strong enough to stand back, and it would have been difficult for him to win easily in the White Rose Knights. 　
　Widale, however, is the strongest individual among the commanders of the White Rose Knights.
　Thus it seemed to the people around him that Widale had won, but he himself had recast the strength of the cavalry under the direct control of Schles.

(Anyway, now it's all right to pretend or whatever, so it's necessary to make our advantage known thoroughly. at that rate...)

　Widale, who has thought about what to do and is looking around the battlefield to find his next target, suddenly finds himself in a commotion.
　That's not the Mercurio army, but the punitive force.

"What?"

　To kill enemy cavalrymen while casting magic into a magical sword and thundering.
　The blade, clad in lightning, is highly powerful because it is clad in metal armor.
　It would have been a different story if they were armour made of magic metal, but even if they were cavalry under the direct control of Schles, they would not be able to prepare all such armour.
　He wields a magical sword wrapped in lightning, hoping to be hit.

`Oh, my God!'
"Ah!"
"Gangling,"

　Each time the enemy cavalry screams, they are paralyzed and can't keep up with the movement of their horse, and they fall off the horse.
　What was disastrous was that this had become a battleground between cavalrymen.
　A fallen knight, regardless of his foes or foes, is destined to fall into paralysis, crush his torso, crush his face, crush his limbs.

"Messages, messengers!"

　A knight of the White Rose Knights runs across a horse to Widere, who was defeating the enemy with a sword of thunder.

"What's going on? There's a lot of noise in the rear of the punitive force. Is that the relationship?"
"Yes, it seems that the troops of the Earl of Obrisin and Viscount Bougle attacked from behind the infantry of the punitive force!"
"...what?"

　Stop the magic that flows to the sword and tilt your head.

"Mr. Vihela's forces must have fought somewhere else."
"But I can't see Mr. Vihela,"Widare stops moving with a momentary bad feeling at the words.
　He was out of sight because he thought Vihela had been beaten by the enemy or injured beyond combat.
　But he immediately denies the idea.
　Widale is one of the best users of the White Rose Knights. I could feel how strong Vihela was without fighting, and I could understand that Vihela could not easily get seriously injured.
　Unable to think deeply while fighting the enemy, Widale leaves the situation to his men and steps back.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"And is it fair to say that Mr. Gurgast is leading his forces?"
"It would be right to say that individuals are fighting their own way, rather than leading... yes, that's right."

　Widere also knows the peculiar way of fighting against the forces led by Gurgast.
　Each individual is fighting freely without thinking of any kind of cooperation, but for some reason, it is a mysterious unit that produces results properly.
　It is now that Mercurio's Archers have gathered to support them, but they are usually fighting the enemy freely without their support.
　Naturally, they survive in such a battle, so those who belong to the Gurgastian unit can be described as elite.
　Still, considering the fight, I wouldn't want to admit it as a Widale.

"Mr. Vihela... Is he really injured and going backwards? I don't think so."
"I don't think Mr. Vihela will get hurt and step back. If so, perhaps for some reason he would have left the unit temporarily. for Mr. Vihela has some bad habits."
"... I see,"

　Widare nods after hearing the words.
　Widale understands that Vihela prefers fighting.
　The future of Mercurio's army will be determined, and I wonder if I should be honest with my desire to fight...

(No, Mr. Vihela's willingness to fight means that there were so many strong men. If such a person had been left unchecked, our damage would have been considerable. ...then...)

　Widdere's mind passes through the huge figure of a water dragon that can be seen from the battlefield.
　The first time I saw it on the battlefield, I was surprised, but I could see the dragon fighting against someone with little movement from where it appeared.
　If that water dragon had gone wild on this battlefield, there was no doubt that Mercurio's army would have been badly.
　In particular, Ray's plan should have been to make a surprise attack on the enemy's rear line to confuse them, but there is no sign of this.
　There is no such thing as absolute in the battlefield, but it is true that some people are bearish because many people thought Ray would win.
　Of course, there are people who can't leave the situation alone...
　Given the circumstances surrounding it was not so difficult to think about who was fighting the opponent.

(If that is the case, the other party is probably Vihela.)

　I don't have any proof.
　Still, Widale is convinced that he is probably right.

"Contact Captain Angela. It's time to attack at once."

　When he told the Knight of the Messenger, Widale returned to the battlefield.
