69 – Siege and Defense of Marhen Territory (11)
Wizard.
It is the true flower of fantasy.
It seems clear that wizards should have an absolute advantage over knights, as they have all kinds of attribute magic, range attacks, and long-distance attacks with tremendous destructive power.
“The main strength of the enemies is one Master, one Expert, and one Circle 6 Mage.”
“All I have to do is stop the wizard from moving.”
“Yes. And in this case, it would be better for me, who has the best defense ability, to step forward. “We plan to lower the power of magic by continuously changing the battlefield without giving wizards time to prepare magic on the battlefield.”
Nevertheless, the reason why the Carnian Chronicles are called Knight Mangems is because the wizard’s large-scale bombardment required time and the preparation of various items.
If you take a position and fire, you can show greater power than a knight of the same level, but if you fail to do so, the wizard is an unfortunate being who can only exert a weaker effect than his original power.
Should I say it’s kind of like X’s Tank from X Other Craft?
But that’s only in battle. In real life, wizard’s artifacts are valuable because they are useful. So much so that there are separate wizards dedicated to living and crafting.
Anyway, what is important now is our strategy.
The large shield hanging at the back of the barracks sparkles even more as the Duke speaks with confidence.
“Even if the enemy is a 6th circle wizard, it won’t work on me. “I can gain enough time and manpower just by using my soldiers as defensively as possible and dealing with the wizard myself.”
“And I can deal with that b*tch who is the leader of the enemies… And my student is dealing with the unit commander? Then it seems to be roughly correct… It’s okay. “It’s very good.”
I agree with what our teacher said as he nodded.
Certainly, this is the most advantageous number we can choose in a situation where the distribution of power is like this.
Of course, if the teacher is dealing with a wizard, the fastest way to eliminate the enemy’s power is, but unless the enemy is stupid, there is no way he can do that.
But there is also a problem here…
“Hey, I have a question for you, Duke Marchen.”
“Please tell me, princess.”
“Is there any possibility that the enemy will act as we think? Wouldn’t their odds of winning be higher if they assigned the enemy’s unit commander to the Duke and the 6th circle wizard to Sir John? “No matter how much Sir John is a master, he probably doesn’t have much experience fighting high-ranking wizards, so the enemies will be targeting him for that.”
The question is whether the enemies will act according to our thoughts.
The enemies are not fools. If the Sword Saint Master had not been there, he would be so strong that there would be a future in which he would crush the Marhen Dukes by pushing them with all his might.
Will they really act according to our intentions? I can only say that it will be difficult.
The Duke of Marchen smiled when he heard this objection.
“Of course, princess. The enemies are cunning. Although he may be excellent at inaction, if Sir John, who has little experience, joins him, there may be trouble.”
… I learned a magic-resistant mana technique… ? It was also studied directly by Aunt Lana and improved by Master Swordsman.
If I told this truth, the duke would have me fight the wizard, but I hid this fact.
Because I don’t want my information to be leaked to the outside world.
The Duke of Marchen is not far from the Ivory territory that I will occupy. Compared to the north or west, it can come twice as fast.
If I have to use force someday, this is the person I might have to pay the most attention to.
Master and I, who knew that fact, made eye contact, nodded slightly, and agreed to keep quiet.
“But princess. Sir John here has brought us something that can solve that problem.”
-Jalang.
Duke Marchen took out a key from his chest.
The key had a dark, damp feel to it, giving the impression that it could only be used underground.
“This is the key that can drive the enemy unit commander into a frenzy.”
The face of Duke Marchen, with his cold smile, contained a ruthlessness that was one of the few people in this world.
I have a clear intuition that if I get caught up in that malicious intent, nothing good will ever happen.

-Quaaang!!!
“Calm down, Kate!!”
“Sister, I think it makes sense for you to calm down now!! Karminen! “Our Karminen was taken away by the Marhen guys!!!”
At that time, inside the barracks of the leader of the Civil Liberation Army.
Kate Doehart was furious, her eyes wide open, and she was lashing out at her own sister and her commander-in-chief, Merlyn Doehart.
Under normal circumstances, it would never have been possible for Kate, who had a deep love for her family, to confront Merlin, but it was a different story in a situation where her only brother was taken prisoner.
“You know what kind of guys Marchen are!! These b*tches wouldn’t be surprised if they plucked out all of Karminen’s fingers and wore them as necklaces! How can you calm down!!! “Our Karminen is suffering in the basement of Marhen Castle!!!”
“I know! Isn’t that what you’re saying!! Please, please listen to this sister just once, Kate!!”
Kate Doehart calms down for a moment and sits down to the earnest voice of her respected sister. But there was still incomprehensible dissatisfaction in her eyes and a sound like a growling animal coming out of her mouth.
“Whoa…” Cecily. Karminen won’t be executed right away or something, right?”
“That won’t happen. “The enemies will also be anxious to get information from us.”
The woman in red robes answered Merlyn as she placed her hand on the map on her tabletop.
-Tak.
“Now that things are like this, we have no choice but to launch an all-out war. The harvest season will soon return, and we don’t have time. “This time we will have to settle the matter.”
“Um… but… “
“The fact that Swordsman appeared, which should not have been there originally, is also a variable. Originally, our strength was more than enough to capture Marhen Castle a long time ago. Because of that, we kept missing opportunities that were originally intended to take control of the southern region and achieve our ideology.”
Geomseong was certainly a powerful being, but he was not a being bound by anyone.
An imperial protection sword that not even the emperor dares to use by force. Dragon slayer.
The fact that she stopped acting as president of the Imperial Knight Academy, which was close to her seclusion, and appeared was an unexpected variable even for those brilliant women.
“Other top executives are already at their limit trying to stop the 1st and 2nd princesses’ armies. Mo or do. “Now is the time to really make a decision, Captain.”
“…Whew. Is this really true… “
Kate Doe Hart once again fiercely fires her words at the hesitant Merlin Doe Hart.
“Even at this very moment, Karminen is suffering!!” That guy who kidnapped my little brother! I will catch you with my own hands and kill you. No, just killing isn’t enough. I swear, I’ll make her sow her seed as much as I take that man bastard and kill her. “To the point where I regret being born, regardless of the circumstances.”
After seeing her sister’s madness, to which she usually never spoke of such things, Merlyn could not help but let out her rising sighs.
‘Yes, this has already happened. I can’t stop any longer… ‘
Merlin’s original plan was not like this.
They were just planning to punish by force the count who interfered with the unreasonable events that occurred on their territory…
When the mysterious wizard named Cecily, who had achieved the highest level of the 6th Circle, arrived, things became completely different from his plans.
-If you eat this, Merlin, you will definitely gain great strength. Oh, side effects? Not at all. It’s just that the strength becomes a little stronger and it may become difficult to control?
After she took the strange medicine, she became a master, and after training in the mountains, Merlyn returned to her hometown and became even stronger.
To the extent that even if he fought one-on-one with a being of the highest level called the Sword Saint, he was not greatly defeated.
‘All I wanted was to punish the count who was harassing my family’s territory… Phew… ‘
But it is something that cannot be undone.
Now that this has happened, he must lead the rebel army to victory and protect his family.
“Okay. Right tomorrow… No, let’s surprise them tonight. I will lure Geomseong out somehow. In the meantime, you two must somehow defeat Duke Marhen and the newly recruited Ogre Slayer.”
“I will follow your orders, Captain.”
“Thank you, sister! Hey, quick, Karminen… Our Karminen, just wait a moment. I will definitely catch that guy, get revenge, and then get you out… !!”

The second son of Doeheart, full of anger, and the wizard wearing blood-colored robes bowed their heads in greeting before heading out.
“Cecily. I’m sorry, but can I catch that guy myself? “I want to personally avenge his brother somehow.”
“Umm… “
After coming out and hearing Kate’s request, Cecily fell into trouble.
From what I heard, it was clearly a young knight.
There is no better material for research… It is clear that this side is advantageous…
“…Can you bring me back alive? “I want to use it as an experiment.”
“Of course!! It would be a shame to kill him anyway as revenge! Because it will make you look worse than dying. “You’ll need research materials too!”
“I understand. Then, I will ask Kate to write the article for you. Anyway, I won’t get hurt if I fight Duke Marhen.”
“Thank you! I’ll get it sorted out right away and go help you there! “Don’t worry!!”
Leaving behind Kate Doeheart, who was happy and laughing out of revenge, the wizard called Cecily took out a wooden doll from her bosom.
The wooden doll was shining brightly in red, almost black.
“Now it’s really just a little bit. After a while… Ugh… “
Cecilly, a high-ranking magician whose captain, vice-captain, and other high-ranking officials do not know where they came from.
For some reason, it felt like red blood drops would go well with her fangs that were exposed as she smiled slightly.
