Chapter 47: True Power

* * *

Town of Akito.

I was standing on the walls of the town gazing out.

About a kilometer away, Maxim’s troops were visible.

The vanguard was made of cavalry riding the two legged horses and behind them were spear wielding soldiers.

「2,000 of them huh……」

That’s an estimate…but it seems about right.

The fact that they sent all these people out seems to prove that they’re serious about this.

「Master」

Risha called out from behind me.

「The preparations have been made」

「Alright.」

I nodded and glanced behind me.

Akito’s outer wall was armed with 20 nitokas. Plus, there were 100 people who wielded gradiks.

Mira was commanding the nitoka division and Yuria was left to command the gradik division.

Looking at them it was obvious. The townspeople were feeling the pressure of the 2,000 soldiers bearing down on them…they were nervous, or frightened you could say.

「Master! They’ve begun to move!」

Risha said sounding flustered.

I looked back and saw the cavalry kicking up a cloud of dust as they charged.

「Fire the nitoka. There’s no need to aim carefully just fire.」

「Ok!」

Risha ran over to Mira. Then the battery division began firing their rocks.

The lump of rocks drew a parabola in the sky before becoming disjointed and falling to the earth. Many missed their targets, but a portion of them slammed right in the middle of the cavalry.

「Don’t stop firing.」

The rocks flew out one after another.

The cavalry charge was becoming obviously slow. The aim was all over the place, but having huge rocks fly towards you is scary nonetheless.

But still they didn’t stop. Once they’d passed the nitokas’ range, they once again increased their speed and charged.

Then…they entered bow range.

「Gradik unit, fire with everything you’ve got!」

I ordered and Yuria’s 100 people pulled back on their bows.

And fired their arrows all at once.

One hundred bowmen…equaling to 500 arrows after they split.

The arrows fell like rain as they pierced through the cavalry, knocking one after another from their horses.

From long range we had the nitoka bombardment, and in mid-range we have a gradik firing line.

We pitted our stockpile of arrows and rocks against Maxim’s soldiers and they could not get any closer.

「It seems like this might just work.」

「I suppose…」

I nodded and looked towards the battlefield.

「Umm, Master?」

「What?」

I looked at Risha.

「Are you not going to fight? If Master went out, then I think you could win easily.」

「But all I would achieve would be victory alone…」

「?」

Risha tilted her head confused.

Honestly, completely wiping them out wouldn’t be difficult.

If I took Risha into my blade and put a lot of magic into the flames, then I should be able to eliminate all these soldiers.

With the experience from fighting monsters, regular soldiers aren’t my opponent.

But there’s no point in me going out to fight by myself.

Take for example…what if I went out to fight and was caught up by a thousand of them? What would the other 1,000 do? They’d invade the town.

After so long I finally had a healthy number of people and the towns were rebuilt. All that work could disappear in mere moments.

That’s why it is necessary to engage in group on group combat.
