How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job Chapter 393

Chapter 393. Battle of Ernesia Border (2) That’s how I started leading the army and directing the actual subjugation operation.

The number of troops was just 100,000, including 60,000 in my territory and 40,000 reinforcements.

The base is the predicted path to where the Dark Church’s aerial fortress will arrive.

In other words, it was prepared on a plain near the border.

Having established a foothold in and around the hills from which I could see the entire plain, I lazily waited for the enemy to come.

Let the enemy come. don’t wait

After waiting appropriately and leisurely, before I knew it, a report came in saying that there were less than 10 minutes left before the aerial fortress crossed the border of Ernesia Kingdom.

really creeps in

When the fact is conveyed to the soldiers, considerable tension begins to rise.

The preparations were sufficient.

I had enough training and I was ready to put in new equipment.

Even so, the fierce battle that will soon follow must be tense.

yes i understand

I murmured as I waited for the Dark Church’s fortress to arrive soon.

“Come to think of it, the bad relationship between the black magician and this side is quite strong…

Come to think of it, I too have been entangled since I was a child.

Is this because of your ancestors’ karma?

If that’s the case, I’ll have to see the end of that tough evil relationship soon.

Yes, the evil relationship of ancestors must be settled by descendants.

Please watch over me, grandfather.

Your former best friend will be crushed today at my hands.

The moment I thought so, I finally felt signs of rapid movement outside.

This feeling of tension reaching its peak!

“Looks like you’re here.”

After that, you don’t have to listen to the report to know.

The Dark Church’s aerial fortress must have finally crossed the border.

“Okay, welcome.”

Welcome to Ernesia.

Yes, first of all, as a representative, I welcome unauthorized entry.

and.

“bye.”

Goodbye Dark Church.

Unauthorized entry is prohibited Uninvited guests.

If not, do you get a visa first?

Of course there is nothing like that.

There is no such thing as a visa for villains.

Since the operation has already been ordered, there is no reason for me to signal again.

However, I counted the seconds as if to moderately gauge the mood, and then pointed my finger at ‘taak!’

It rang.

OK.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A huge explosion sounded in the distance, and the aftermath shook the entire area as well as the inside of the barracks.

As expected, the first room to inform the battle is the explosion.

The war is an explosion as of late!

* * *

Minutes before the Dark Church’s aerial fortress crossed the borders of the Kingdom of Ernesia.

‘It’s really strange. To think that Ernesia’s army didn’t even budge until now.

It’s obviously suspicious.’

The church’s leader, Louis Reina, used magic to check the scenery outside and fell into trouble with her chin resting on her chin.

‘This is why I don’t like war. Because human intentions are constantly intertwined. It really hurts.’

Originally, she doesn’t like, and isn’t good at, cumbersome things like war commanding.

But I can’t help it.

There was also a purge of the young schoolmaster who dreamed of betrayal.

She couldn’t let her hands go because she knew that Arell Ernesia would interfere.

Even if it seems like this, a thousand years ago, she also took a single shot with her disciples and her warlocks.

It is never without experience.

You can do it.

For now, I think so.

‘It looks like they’re planning to set up a base in the hills ahead… and ambush them.’

The reason why the Ernesia Kingdom army doesn’t move first is probably to wait for this side to come.

They camped in the hills ahead of time and waited for the enemy to come.

‘But what does that mean?’

It might make sense against an ordinary army.

But this is a fortress floating in the air.

Even from this point of view, the state of the enemy army can be seen intact.

Above all, all of our forces are black magicians.

It is an opponent that does not work with general military tactics.

‘The first thing I can think of is the same tactics as last time.’

Shall we launch a magically engraved flying weapon and use it to sink the fortress?

However, the countermeasures against the magic ceremony have already been completed.

You will never be stopped twice with the same number.

Even if she conceived of a new magic, she was confident that it would take less than 3 minutes for her to do it once she made up her mind.

Conversely, if it is a clumsy magic, it is possible to return it back.

‘I’ll deal with him no matter how he turns out.’

Just like that, the aerial fortress finally entered the borders of Ernesia Kingdom.

There’s no way he’ll keep his eyes open and watch.

I don’t know what strategy I’ve devised, but something will happen.

Louis Reina spread her senses enough to sense the entire fortress and waited.

If even a single feather approaches the fortress, I am confident that I will notice it.

And finally, I felt the waves of mana occur irregularly.

It was felt in about ten directions at the same time.

“Is that a teleport now?”

It was so unexpected that I blinked my eyes blankly for a moment.

What the hell did you send by teleport?

ambush?

Louis Reina hastily widened her sights and looked at that spot.

“What is that?”

What suddenly appeared was a strange-looking machine.

“Are there any machines like that in this era?”

Ruirena was puzzled and hurriedly peered at the machine.

weird? There are no blades and no weapons installed inside.

I thought I might have heard something poison, but there was nothing like that.

Although there is a boundary not to enter once.

‘I don’t understand.’

All I can tell is that the machine sucks mana to an unusual degree.

And using that mana, he continued only strange repetitive movements.

“What the hell does that mean?”

Could it be a deception operation?

Are they trying to draw attention with a meaningless object and try another ploy?

At this time, if Louis Reina had even a little interest in the technology of the present era, or if she had scouted the technology of Ernesia Kingdom, especially Pahilia, her response would have been different.

For example, even if it was the same wizard, Ernesia’s Mage Tower lord would have been terrified and prepared countermeasures if they were put in this situation.

But Louis Reina didn’t know.

That is a machine called the Mana Engine.

Originally, it was used as a power transmission device, not a weapon.

And now, with all the safety spells removed, there are cracks on the surface.

It was already too late when she, who was ignorant of technology itself, noticed a sense of incongruity as a magician.

no way?”

It wasn’t until the moment when the density of mana filled in the machine rose unnaturally that he realized the meaning of it and hurriedly tried to respond.

At least he should have known the tactics that Arell used often when commanding the army.

He tends to aim for this with a high frequency.

Just one huge room.

“…That’s dangerous! Come on, defend!”

When she tried to spread protection magic around the main facilities of the fortress, the mana engine that had already exceeded its limit exploded with a bluish light.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! !

And with the binge drinking, nothing was seen.

The mana engine exploded in the sky, emitting a blinding blue light.

Ten Mana Engines exploded in the air.

The power of their resonating and exploding all at once was enough to shatter the church’s fortress.

The fort exploded.

And debris and lump wizards fall.

“hahahahahahahaha! look! The warlocks falling over there are like trash!”

I laughed out loud as if mocking them on purpose and watched the fortress shattered with the explosion with my telescopic magic tool.

An aerial fortress that could not handle the power of the mana engine’s explosion and collapsed.

The warlocks who couldn’t cope are falling to the ground with debris.

It’s really garbage.

“It is as you say. It really is nothing but rubbish.”

Dia also quietly bowed her head and agreed with my pure sentiment. They even clap quietly.

“….uh? Do you really think so?”

“of course.”

No, I was just making an analogy.

I was kidding.

But is he serious?

Looking at the same thing as me and faintly snorting, it seemed that she was sincere.

I see you really hate warlocks.

“I never thought that such a method would work.”

“Surprisingly, this kind of thing works.”

The operation was nothing special.

First, let’s eat a big one.

big one! I need a big one anyway!

It is an operation devised with this longing.

Aerial fortresses are coming?

Then we just have to destroy the fort to the point where it can’t function.

“Dia’s life is one shot. After all, if you want to do something big, you have to aim for one shot.”

“indeed. You are right.”

“…Well, that’s not going to happen to anyone.”

Who wouldn’t think of that?

The problem is the means to realize it.

It was an idea in a hurry, but it exploded better than I thought.

The mana engine’s unfinished stock was scraped together, the safety magic formula was removed, and the interior was deliberately damaged and detonated.

In fact, this was quite reckless and just as dangerous.

“It’s more powerful than I thought…

”

“hmm! After all, the more power, the better.”

Certainly, this power is terrifying.

This is why Helmin was so restless at the time of development.

Maybe he didn’t predict this far?

“…Ah…how much is that anyway….

It’s only a moment to be happy.

I had to shudder at the waste of that mana engine.

It was tactically necessary, so instead of a bomb, it was detonated.

However, the important thing is that the unit price of each mana engine is not common.

It wasn’t meant to be used as a weapon from the beginning.

I’ve exploded 10 of them…..

The abacus in my head makes a rough calculation, and the result makes me sad too.

It will take money and time to make it.

Just thinking about it makes me hungry.

‘…Well, I’m sure I’ll eat that much later.’ So let’s not be sorry

Dia carefully asks if she noticed that I was feeling sorry for her.

“Arel-sama, did you really need to throw away the Mana Engine?”

“I couldn’t help it. I don’t want to admit it, but isn’t it true that there is no one who can match that teacher’s skills?”

“That is true.”

At that, Dia expressed it in an indirect manner, as if she did not want to openly admit it.

The strongest magician in existence is a black magician.

would be disrespectful

I noticed that subtle stubbornness, but I kept saying it as if I didn’t know it on purpose.

“If I had used magic normally, I would have been wary and blocked from the beginning or used other measures.”

The opponent’s ability as a mage is top-notch.

What I was aiming for there is the difference between common sense.

“Since he was a person from a thousand years ago, I thought the current world would be dark.”

As expected, like a fossil, I didn’t know if there was a dark side to the current technology or what the mana engine was, so I just dazed and got hit like that.

In addition, the magician’s unique curiosity must have played a part.

Above all, there was also the advice of Cressel.

I asked about his usual habits and way of thinking.

According to the skeleton, she was a typical researcher type.

As I’ve heard, you’re not good at war.

The response is clumsy.

If in doubt, you should have ruled it out at once.

It’s really clumsy.
