80 – Subjugation (2).

It didn’t take long to form the subjugation party.

Of the knights currently remaining in Rodenov, except for those who were to protect Rodenov, all the other knights were put into action.

Hundreds of thousands of articles. A massive army of 10,000 soldiers alone to support the Ice Sea Wall.

Furthermore, all of these 10,000 soldiers were strong soldiers with experience in subjugating monsters. The intense momentum in his eyes was more intense than that of the shy knights.

Perhaps, if they were still alive by the end of this subjugation, at least a few would be knighted.

It was because the military service from defeating monsters in Rodenov was so rewarding.

The marching speech ended simply. Gathering 10,000 soldiers and 100 knights together, His Excellency Johannes simply said:

“What grandiose words do you need? Fight. win keep it Of course, there will be a reasonable reward for those who set the ball.”

“Yes!”

“good.”

So, the subjugation party led by Sir Lucas set out for the ice wall.

* * *

There was a limit to the number of people the teleport gate could move, and it couldn’t move an army of 10,000, so we had no choice but to march from Rodenov to the Ice Sea Wall.

I could have taken the time to send the soldiers out of the teleport gate, but… … If we did that, the teleport gate might be overloaded, so we had no choice but to march.

It was a strong army composed of only strong soldiers anyway, so the road to the ice wall did not take too long.

There were no casualties even from the monster attack that occurred during the march, so it was clear how well Rodenov’s troops were in subjugating the monster.

In particular, the existence of Adilun had a great influence on the march.

Because of the number of people, large-scale teleportation was not possible, but all kinds of magic made the march of the subjugation team easier.

It made the feet of the subjugation party lighter and blew warm air that relieved the cold that hit them.

It wasn’t just that the magic was applied to several people, but the entire subjugation party was affected by it, so the marching speed was bound to be much faster.

Adilun’s terrifying magic skills naturally caught my eye. The praises of the knights continued for her, who showed only a slight tiredness even after spreading magic on a large scale.

As the pace of the march accelerated, the date we expected to arrive at the Ice Sea Wall came much earlier. That’s almost twice as early.

In the meantime, the small monsters were naturally subdued as if they were being trampled on by the army. And again.

There were no casualties.

You see a huge wall. A huge wall that has been standing for hundreds of years to block the monsters pushing into the north has appeared before my eyes.

ice wall. A wall that protects Rodenov and the Empire, completely controlling the invasion of demons along the two mountain ranges located north of Rodenov.

As a fortress, a considerable number of soldiers stood guard every day, and the regular garrison alone amounted to exactly 10,000 troops, and the number reached 20,000 including mercenaries who flowed in from here and there to receive pay.

Since a huge army of 20,000 was stationed there, a city was formed around the wall of the ice sea, creating a landscape similar to the fortress city of Caltics.

It was a large-scale brothel for the morale of soldiers who always had to face extreme situations, and all sorts of entertainment were gathered, so there were some soldiers who were happy to work here.

First of all, it was a pretty good place to play in a situation where monsters didn’t invade. Of course, the training was quite arduous.

Considering that it was in front of the land of death beyond the north, where monsters often occur, large-scale deployment of troops was permitted, but in recent years, the invasion of monsters was not that big, and it was also the main culprit of eating away Rodenov’s money.

Even so, it was fortunate that Rodenov’s finances were not so meager that they stumbled just that much.

When we arrived at the Ice Sea Wall, we were greeted by the fort’s commander, Sir Aidan Fellchute.

“Welcome, Sir Lucas. And the Princess and Sir Physis.”

“It hasn’t been long since I saw you right now, isn’t it?”

“You are, but aren’t these two people?”

“What… … It doesn’t. Anyway, how is the current situation? It’s been about a week since I went, so the monsters must have increased in the meantime.”

“Right. It is growing without end. It’s to the point where I think even 30,000 troops isn’t enough.”

“Is that enough? The rate of increase is much faster than I expected?”

“It seems to me… … It seems that their king has appeared.”

“King, you mean?”

“yes. Other than that, I can’t explain the scale of that level. It’s already been close to ten years since I’ve been working here, and considering all the other monster invasions that have taken place over the past ten years… … This one is the largest. It’s only been 5 years since the top level monsters gathered an army and invaded. Even then, it was not on such a grand scale.”

The moment I heard Sir Aidan’s words, I was certain. That the monster king who almost destroyed half of the northern part had really appeared.

I thought the story and reality would be different, but… … It seems that the large stem is also the same.

Assuming that the king of monsters will appear, I can say that it is fortunate that I proceeded with the training, or should I say that the fact that he appeared is not good enough.

With the two stiff-faced knights, we discussed countermeasures.

“So what do you do? If there are that many of them, it would be impossible to personally lead the punitive force and go outside to fight.”

“right. The punitive force has no choice but to fight on top of the wall.”

“All right.”

“If there is one problem… … A swarm of monsters of this size could break through the ice wall. Especially if the king himself comes out… … I don’t even want to imagine it. Even if it was only the highest level monster, it was strong enough to make my mind wander.”

“I remember that time too. really… … It was reckless.”

“For now, we have to observe the situation. Originally, I was going to paint a picture of the subjugation party going outside, reducing their numbers a little bit, and retreating, but now, if I did that, I’d be swept away by a tidal wave of demons right away… … It’s frustrating.”

As Sir Aidan said, if the size of the monsters was not large, Sir Lucas, Adylun and I planned to operate a subjugation party to reduce the monsters’ power a little before they were sufficiently strong.

But if Sir Aidan already said that… … Well. I wonder if it will be difficult.

Contrary to my expectations, Adyllun, who had been quiet, thought deeply and then spoke to the two knights.

“Among the monsters, is there a monster individual that sees through the invisible state?”

“You mean invisibility? I haven’t tried it yet, so I’m not sure… … . If there is an object that detects presence, it will be caught soon.”

“What if you completely erase even the presence?”

“… … Is that possible?”

“I used to leave a mark, but now I may not even leave a mark. Wait.”

At that moment, the figure of Adilun momentarily disappeared in front of all of us. It was invisibility magic.

But there was something different from before. When she used invisibility at the social gathering, I definitely caught her presence… … Nothing caught now.

“There is no sign. This… … .”

When I said that, Adyllun immediately released the invisibility.

“This is enough… … Is it worth it?”

“That, how long can it be maintained?”

“For up to ten people, about two hours… … I can keep it.”

“Oh My God. then… … .”

For a moment, Sir Aidan exclaimed in admiration. Sir Lucas and I nodded. You can completely erase the presence of ten people in two hours?

If that’s enough… … It should be able to deal with a large number of top-level monsters or high-level monsters that are caught in the gap between monsters and fire powerful attacks.

Even if it was only the highest level monster, it could be caught if ten knights decided to attack it, but wasn’t it difficult to deal with it because it was always protected by higher level monsters and middle and lower level monsters?

but… … If I could ignore all the lower level monsters and kill one of them separately, the monsters wouldn’t be able to respond.

In that case, it might be possible to significantly reduce the enemy’s power.

Although there is a time limit of two hours… … Even with that much, it might be possible to block the most threatening attacks in advance when the monsters advance to the wall of the ice sea.

Of course, since Adilun, who will maintain the magic, must move together, only nine knights can move at most, but if Sir Lucas and I are included, nine of them should be able to quickly defeat the highest level monsters.

“great. Princess. In this way, we will be able to significantly block the powerful attacks that come through the wall of the ice sea in advance.”

As if the other knights’ thoughts were the same as mine, both of them looked at Adirun with an expression of wonder.

“Doesn’t the invisibility break if you attack?”

“Absolutely. I’ll have to accompany you for that, but… … .”

“Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

“Wouldn’t it be more dangerous if the best monsters and the king of monsters pushed into the wall of the Ice Sea anyway?”

“… … It is.”

“As there is a considerable difficulty, it is impossible to use other magic in the invisible state, but… … However, since there are other articles, you should be able to see sufficient effects.”

“Then, based on that, how about moving in the direction of dealing with the highest level monsters as much as possible?”

“I agree. Then, Princess. When would you like to start the operation?”

“It won’t take long. Let’s start tomorrow.”

To Sir Aidan’s question, Adyllun answered.

“All right.”

“I will choose eight knights with good skills. Sir Physis… … Are you sure you want to go?”

“Yeah.”

I nodded.

Thank you so much. Adilune is so pretty…

Even the ergonomic horns are perfect. Like last time, thank you so much again.
