Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

The white light embroidered in the blue sky had the power to naturally attract people’s attention even though it was only a few minutes of daytime.

The first observed light did not produce any sound or shock and just soared into the sky, so those on the battlefield dismissed it as just an anomaly that occurred at an unfavorable time. It was an impossible reaction if he knew what had happened on the front line, but it was possible because the information control of the Demon Army was also used by the same soldiers.

However, that was only the position of the soldiers, and the command was different.

-transmission from crystal ball. Enormous divine power was confirmed near the operation area. Since the location will be specified, nearby troops should move to that location and grasp the situation.

The command issued an order with two cases in mind.

The first is the second coming of a mysterious phenomenon that occurred on the battlefield.

No matter how much he cracked down on his mouth, ‘they said he was punished.’ The worst possibility that the phenomenon, which was rumored to have spread in the form of, had occurred at this moment, sent chills down the spine of the command, but it was dismissed as unlikely based on the distance from the garrison and the fact that it had only occurred once.

In fact, the most important was the second possibility, the sudden appearance of a neglected divinity or relic.

– Members of the unit who moved to the location checked the surrounding ecology. If the sanctuary is manifested, get out of the safe zone and use the flare. If unnaturally created pupils and ruins exist, do not enter and use flares. If it’s neither, start searching for any humanoid beings nearby. Even if it’s a corpse, it doesn’t matter. If you find an object with divine power, be alert and wait for your allies. Premature contact is prohibited.

Most of the commanders and high-ranking officials located in the vicinity of Ithiel are trusted by the military headquarters.

Of course, they knew what kind of power the remnants of evil spirits possessed, and they knew very well that if they used it well, it was possible to turn the tide of the war. From their point of view, the sudden appearance of divine power seemed to be closely related to the sudden appearance of the hero.

Maybe the hero learned the identity of that divine power through some method and moved to preoccupy it… I thought.

If so, it didn’t take long before more than half of those who agreed that it might be possible to overcome the existing plan to capture the hero and provide an opportunity to break the siege.

As a result, it was almost inevitable that the command, which had no way to dispatch additional troops in time, chose the option of splitting the troops already committed.

It is not known whether the failure to take into account the third possibility, ‘two warriors appeared at the same time without any sign’, can be called their mistake, but at least it is certain that the troops who went into the operation without knowing anything were not at fault.

“What is it, check that in front of the warriors of the Empire? Besides, why are the orders like that?”
“Nandle Anna.”

In the process of moving to the position of the hero, the commanders of the two units who happened to meet each other frowned and looked once again in the direction where the light had just risen.

The reason is simple. This is because, no matter who sees it, it is the ‘close unit’ that the command said.

“Whatever it is, it’s important because it’s important. Move.”

In fact, it was no different from going back the way we came, so there were voices saying, ‘If only I could get in touch a little sooner…’, but the commanders pretended not to hear. Because they didn’t like it either.

Even so, there was no time to grumble with his subordinates.

“Looking at the situation, I think it would be appropriate to move while maintaining a certain level of vigilance. Shall we form a battle line with good guys and move?”
“That would be better.”

The process of selecting subordinates skilled in sudden engagements and forming formations was carried out quickly and accurately.

“Captain, I can feel the presence of people in front.”

And the process of finding out that it was ‘correct’ was never pleasant.

“Are you allies?”
“It’s… I’m sure I felt some magical power until just now, but it suddenly disappeared. It seems that the other side is checking us out as well.”

As soon as the soldier, who has become the vanguard because his skills are average, but his intuition and magic sense are the best, as soon as he finishes talking, a human figure emerges from a thicket beyond the forest.

At the same time, conflicting reactions occurred among the Demon King’s army.

“Yumma, you’re a human.”
“Huh? It must have been magic…”

With the soldiers who didn’t know how to look and were puzzled.

“All swords! Attack posture!”
“Egada, the demon’s hero, Eldmia! Everyone, prepare for battle!”

Divided into two commanders who feel that everything in the real world sucks and yet forget to reflexively give orders in order to survive.

Despite not properly understanding the situation, the fact that the soldiers were able to reflexively stance and draw their swords was only a reflex action that had been honed through numerous real battles and training.

Most of them couldn’t keep up with their heads even when they drew their swords, and if it had been as it was, a few people might have died. At least the commanders thought so.

“There are quite a few this time? Did the two of you give the order together by chance?”

And that thought became more firm as soon as Eldmia opened her mouth.

You can’t know what the word ‘this time’ means. They never thought that the day would come when they would feel fear when they saw humans who couldn’t even feel magic, but they didn’t even think that the first target would be a warrior.

Siegfried is also a warrior, but from the perspective of the Demon King’s army, the achievements of the two are different.

To them, Siegfried was still an unfinished hero and had a chance to win, but Eldmia did not. Even the command, which underestimates major enemies in order to boost the morale of allies, has designated him as a ‘shun target’.

It was said that if you were an ordinary soldier, you should not even think about fighting and just jump out.

“You have two options.”

Maybe it was because the situation was no different from suddenly encountering a predator while on the road.

It wasn’t easy to decide how to react, even while watching Eldmia’s calm expression of holding the sword she was holding instead of fixing it, holding it up moderately, spreading her two fingers, and opening her mouth. It also played a part in not even having the idea that they would attempt a conversation in the first place.

They didn’t know it, but thanks to that, Eldmia took a more moderate attitude and continued.

“The first is surrender. It doesn’t matter if you’re just a soldier regardless of the Demon King’s ideology, or if you believe in the Demon King’s ideology but risk your life, it doesn’t matter. You’ll have a chance to explain later that you’re just being deceived. “This fight is neither freedom nor struggle. Throw away your weapons if you want to live. And convince your comrades.”

Despite facing more than 20 enemies alone, his middle finger, which had been spread out, folded at the same time as the exhortation ended, believing that he had an absolute superiority.

No one attempted to interrupt Eldmia. It was because the soldiers did not dare to judge carelessly, and the commanders waited for the wizards to prepare while rolling their heads to overcome the situation.

And the wizards were silent for another reason.

“The second is to die. To be precise, it’s a dog death. You’ll die more meaninglessly than you can imagine. This will be my first and last recommendation, so choose carefully. If you lower your weapon later, they won’t let you down.”

They are not the only units close to this place now. The closest thing was to them. At the same time as the words that the opponent was Eldmia came out, the magicians were continuously sending their unique wavelengths using magic.

An emergency signal sent only by wizards in the worst situation where they cannot use crystal balls or flares. If Eldmia had magical knowledge, this too would have been a futile act, but until the moment the signal from the other troops came in, Eldmia did not show any reaction.

The unresponsiveness felt like an opportunity.

Three signals returned. Even the distance is not that far.

“There’s a long way to go, so I don’t intend to give it that long. Decide.”

They do not underestimate their opponents, but they are also 50 elites and 5 wizards carefully selected to capture other warriors from the Demon King’s Army. You can buy as much time as possible and shoot emergency flares. Although he is a hero who caused countless incidents, he is neither a sword master nor one who has reached the level of transcendence.

There is a chance.

When not only the wizards but also the two commanders made the same judgment and exchanged glances, Eldmia opened her mouth again.

“Have you decided?”
“Why don’t you listen to our proposal too?”
“What can you offer me?”

At this point, the soldiers also feel the presence of their allies approaching at high speed, grasp the situation, and settle their minds.

“If you surrender, I will guarantee your safety.”
“How can I surrender to you in this situation where I have an absolute advantage?”
“Because we’re not all there.”

Worth it.

I came to deal with the hero anyway. The goals are slightly different, but what they are trying to do has not changed. Just as he was about to issue an order to act with a focus on defense in such confidence, Eldmia replied.

“It doesn’t change much even if everyone except for the 30 or so people who are gathering here come, but you’re seriously mistaken.”

At the answer that comes out as if it’s not a big deal, I’m speechless and speechless.

“Even if we set up an ambush, there would be no chance of winning. Did you know what would be different if you were surrounded with just that many numbers?”

At the same time as the hair on her body stood on end, Eldmia’s sword shimmered softly and began to crumble into pieces.

“The premise is wrong. You are the one who suffered the siege.”

If you look closely, it’s close to just being smashed from the beginning. There was no time to wonder how it had maintained its shape until now, and the pieces of the sword falling toward the ground suddenly stopped and floated in the air.

“I hope you will not regret your choice.”

It was not only the Demon King’s army that was wasting time, but also Eldmia.

The difference is that, unlike the Demon King’s army, who waited to gather insufficient strength, he only waited for his prey to fall into a trap.
