Christina, who was just reproached by Miranda, a student, talked to her calmly feeling somewhat embarra.s.sed and started to reproach Siegfried in turn.
"Look at Miranda. Doesn"t she look more like an adult? At least, as an instructor, you must…" (Christina)
"Hus.h.!.+" (Siegfried)
Siegfried motioned to Christina to stop talking.
"What"s wrong? I haven"t finished talking…" (Christina)
"Magic Division, be quiet! I sense them." (Siegfried)
Christina wondered why she should stop talking, but Siegfried"s expression was serious, more precisely, his expression made people believe that he had sensed something ominous.
All magicians in the Magic Division kept quiet.
"What is it?" (Christina/Magic Division soldier 1)
"Demons? He"s overreacting even if the demons are of disaster cla.s.s." (Magic Division Soldier 2)
It seemed that he had sensed some magic power.
The magic power was out of his sight.
If it was released from the demons, where did the magic that was more powerful than the demons of the disaster cla.s.s came from?
The knights, soldiers and magicians who couldn"t use search magic didn"t understand his words.
"Siegfried, have you sensed it?" (Rupert)
"Rupert … It seems terrible." (Siegfried)
"Well, the situation is much worse. Why does this…" (Rupert)
Rupert, who was the commander of the Magic Division, sensed the magic after Siegfried.
"Is it the magic comes from the devils?" (Rupert)
"Devils?" (Random Soldier)
People around were stunned by the words.
Then the voice of surprise spread throughout the entire Earlshyde army.
"Besides, there are more than three reactions." (Rupert)
"Really?" (Random Soldier 2)
Rupert had to prepare for the worst, so he took a decisive decision for the result that he took for granted.
"Should we give up?" (Rupert)
"Really? We have s.h.i.+n in our team!" (Siegfried)
Siegfried, who had known s.h.i.+n"s breathtaking ability and cautious preparation for the battle, had never expected him to let go of the devils.
"Although Walford has quite the breathtaking ability, we have been thrown into this situation. Maybe something unexpected has happened." (Rupert)
It indeed had happened, though it was unbelievable.
Three devils were coming directly towards them.
Everyone found it unbelievable.
"Everyone, attention! Something unforeseen has happened. Devils have escaped from Walford. Some of them are heading towards our direction." (Rupert)
Rupert roared as loud as thunder to all soldiers with the sound amplification magic.
"However, we can"t run away! Because…" (Rupert)
Rupert paused for a moment and glanced at the direction in which the army had come from.
In that direction…
"If we run away, the devils will attack Earlshyde that"s behind us." (Rupert)
Hearing those words, the Earlshyde army felt confused and hopeless at first, but then they showed a heroic and rousing spirit.
"We must defend the position to the last!" (Rupert)
"Oh, oh, oh!" (Army)
The devils would attack the towns and their homeland in which their families lived if they ran away.
"It would not be allowed to happen." The entire Earlshyde army roared out.
Finally, the devils came into their sight.
"Everyone, get ready to fight! They are coming!" (Rupert)
Then they shouted to the devils within their range.
"Attack!" (Army)
All the magicians of the Earlshyde army"s Magic Division launched their magic attack towards the devils.
The devils coming towards them at a superhuman speed wouldn"t be able to fend off the attack.
The concentrated attack of the magicians raised a cloud of dust in front of the devils.
Their magic attack could change the terrain if it was concentrated on one area.
Being frightened by the sight, the devils stopped in their tracks.
Then…
"What? They ran away?" (Magic Division Soldier 3)
Seeing such powerful concentrated attack, the devils knew it was dangerous to move on.
Therefore, they detoured towards Earlshyde, which made them feel disheartened. They ignored the Earlshyde army.
"That"s terrible! Those devils are heading towards the capital. We have to catch up with them!" (Rupert)
"It"s impossible, commander. We can"t catch up with them. Instead of chasing them, we"d better contact our country to be on alert against them." (Siegfried)
Rupert, who had stopped using the sound enhancement magic, was chasing the devils and roaring, but they ran exceptionally fast.
It was unrealistic to expect the army of tens of thousands of people to be able to catch up with the devils running at such high speed.
"We"d better contact our country by the communication machines and ask them to take precautionary measures." (Siegfried)
"That"s right. Dominic." (Rupert)
"Got it! I"ll immediately ask them to transmit the information with the communication devices as fast as they can." (Dominic)
Dominic, the leader of Knights, gave out the order that they must transmit the information as fast as they could.
Rupert looked at the direction in which the devils were matching.
"In a word, we"d better go back to Earlshyde first, even if we can"t catch up with them." (Dominic)
After that, Rupert issued an order to search for the devils" magic when Dominic, the general commander, wanted to transmit the order to return to Earlshyde.
"No, we will keep going forward." (Dominic)
"What are you talking about, Rupert? You mean…" (Dominic)
"Although we can"t catch up with them, Walford has the "Gate", he will protect Earlshyde." (Rupert)
