As he walked along the corridor, Tetzwald looked dissatisfied.
Of course, there was no disagreement that the Sinai Fortress was the most important of strategic points. However, it is not something that needs to be protected by Tetzwald, the kingdom’s strongest Auror, the elite of the elite, the Knights of Ferdinand, and 3,000 troops.
The reason his corps, which was originally supposed to be a typhoon raging against the wicked prince Yubel’s army, was trapped in the fortress like this was because of the orders of Prince Carsas.
-Victory is already assured, so there is no reason to rush and add to the blood of the soldiers. Please wait until you are fully prepared.
The sight of him worrying about the well-being of his subordinates even when victory is in sight is truly a noble thing, so it is something to be happy about. However, it was also true that he was bored while waiting for the battle. It would be better if Prince Yubel’s army attacked with great force… … .
“Those guys who lost all their money would never do that.”
However, I am not in a position to have any other hobbies to pass the time. Thanks to this, Tetzwald was having a boring day swinging his sword all day long.
Tetzwald, who had passed through the portico, was about to return to his room. Suddenly his horn sounded.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Twice long and once short.
It was a signal that the enemy had appeared.
“huh?”
Tetzwald gave a puzzled look. He also knows very well that Prince Yubel’s army currently has no capacity to counterattack. Soon, his adjutant was seen running towards him.
“What’s going on!”
“It’s an enemy attack, Tetzwald.”
Tetzwald was momentarily taken aback. The adjutant’s expression was so calm. No, he had an expression of surprise, but it was definitely not that of someone greeting an enemy. Is this just an expression of seeing something strange and strange?
“What’s wrong with your face?”
The adjutant made a strange expression in response to Tetzwald’s question. He paused and then opened his mouth.
“Well, it looks like the enemy has invaded… … .”
“If it comes, it means it came, or it doesn’t. Do you think it came?”
“Uhm… … .”
Before choosing his words, the adjutant smiled bitterly.
“I think it would be better to see it in person.”
Equipped with only simple weapons, Tetswald climbed straight up to the castle walls. The moment he looked out at the gently ridged ridge outside the fort, he knew why his adjutant had that look on his face.
“… … “What is that?”
The adjutant answered awkwardly.
“enemy… … shall?”
Uncharacteristic of a knight, the adjutant did not answer directly and trailed off. Normally, Tetzwald would have reprimanded his adjutant’s attitude. But this time he didn’t say anything. I just stared blankly outside the fortress.
A group of soldiers were lined up on the ridge. Seeing that everyone was armed and had their flags raised, it clearly seemed like the army was an army. But the members were extremely strange.
“Aren’t there almost no humans and only pure dwarves?”
“If you look closely, you can see elves and orcs standing around… … .”
The adjutant scratched his head in response to Tetzwald’s question. Tetswald clicked his tongue as he looked at the emblem engraved on the flag.
“The coat of arms is clearly that of Prince Yubel… … .”
It is a promise on the battlefield to announce the start of battle by waving the flag before battle. And they were clearly about to start a battle. Looking at what they are doing, it seems clear that they are the army of Prince Yubel’s army and their intention to engage in battle at the Sinai Fortress.
but… … .
“Just with that number?”
Tetzwald looked around the fortress. He was wondering if there were other troops.
There wasn’t.
There was no doubt that there were a little over a hundred people in front of me. Only about a hundred dwarf warriors, about twenty elves, and about five or six humans were fighting against this impenetrable fortress of Sinai without even riding horses.
At this point, I’m so dumbfounded that I can’t think of anything to say.
“Why are they like that?”
“Slaves, don’t you follow what your master tells you to do? “I guess they’re just doing what they’re told.”
“Why those expensive slaves? Are you going to throw money into the air?”
“… … “Isn’t it some sort of trap?”
“Right.”
The situation is so strange that I am convinced that it is a trap. Tetzwald’s countenance hardened. He gave orders to his lieutenant.
“Strengthen your guard and prepare for possible surprise attacks. “I told the wizards to spy on the surroundings with a long-distance spell.”
The adjutant who was nodding his head and choosing an order to give suddenly asked.
“Then do you ignore them?”
Tetzwald shook his head.
“Only then will Prince Karsas lose face. Get ready for battle. One hundred cavalry, three hundred infantry, and one hundred archers would be sufficient. Choose ten knights and command them to lead them. Sir Zalt would be a suitable conductor.”
The adjutant asked in surprise at Tetzwald’s words.
“Isn’t it excessive?”
It was thought that the force was too much for a slave race. But Tetzwald also had his own thoughts.
“If it were a trap, we would need that many troops to escape. And wouldn’t it be a waste to just kill them?”
Even if this is true for dwarves, elves are quite expensive items. With the eyesight of an Auror, Tetzwald did not miss that half of the twenty or so elves were women.
“Kill all the male dwarves and elves, and capture the female elves. “If it’s a female elf holding a sword, she’s probably a slayer, and it would be a great trophy to praise her subordinate’s achievements.”
The adjutant smiled and nodded.
After a while, the gates of the Sinai Fortress were opened. Ten knights led five hundred troops and began to rush majestically to the front lines.
☆ ☆ ☆
The knights of the Sinai Fortress charged in, kicking up dust. Prince Yubel’s army, made up of slaves, also started running toward them, shouting. Lord Zalt, who was in the lead, looked ahead and smiled.
“All sorts of funny things happen in life.”
The other drivers running together also had the same expression. What can those small, furry dwarfs say other than ridicule when they see a squirrel running towards them?
Sir Zalt put on his eye armor and shouted to the surroundings.
“Now, now, the female elves must be captured alive! “Everyone knows!”
“Yes, Sir Zalt!”
The answer was completely devoid of tension. As the distance between the dwarves gradually became closer, the knights aimed their spears at the same time and increased their speed even more. If we push past them like this, the 500 troops that follow will take out the remaining remnants.
“In the name of Karsas!”

Doo doo doo!
Ten knights stand shoulder to shoulder and charge, shaking the earth. Its appearance is literally a gigantic spear forged from steel! It was a moment when Tetswald, who was looking down from the castle wall, was about to smile happily as he recalled the scene of the cruel slaughter that would follow.
Suddenly, three rays of light erupted from the front of the dwarves.
Buuuuung!
With an eerie roar, three dwarves flew up in front of the knights, holding huge axes, spears, hammers, and great swords. Three rays of light, reddish brown, light green, and crimson, swept the knights away.
Screams erupted one after another.
“Gagging!”
“Ahh!”
“Ugh!”
Fountains of blood gush out in all directions. The three dwarves, and the light of destruction that emerged from them, blew off the heads of 10 knights at once.
Tetzwald, who was observing the battlefield from the castle wall, shouted in surprise.
“… … “Blade Auror?”
The speed of the advance slows down significantly. The soldiers who followed all began to panic at the sight before their eyes.
“Has Sir Zalt fallen?”
“Huh!”
“How can you knights?”
The knights who were supposed to ravage the enemies at the forefront and lead them died in an instant. Moreover, those who had achieved such unbelievable results were still running towards them with their weapons filled with brilliant light.
“Let’s go right away, Maloid!”
“I know, Cardamite!”
The three dwarves who slaughtered the knights attacked again. The target this time was the horsemen, who showed superhuman movements and quickly closed the distance.
The five hundred troops led by Lord Zalt were formed in a standard formation, with one hundred cavalry at the front, three hundred infantry following, and one hundred archers providing cover. The cavalrymen who had been following the knights eagerly screamed at the running Dwarf Auror user.
“oh my god!”
“That’s not a dwarf! “It’s a dwarf monster!”
Cardamite jumped among the panicked cavalrymen and swung his ax spear. Every time, red-brown blade auras were scattered in all directions, and the horse and man were cut in two at the same time.
Cardamite let out a hearty laugh.
“Hahaha! Wicked humans! “Now you can finally relieve your compatriots’ resentment!”
Maloid also swung his great sword and cut down the cavalry one after another. Wherever the blade passed, the crimson auror sprayed crimson blood and gave rise to countless screams.
The three Auror users of the Grand Forge instantly ravaged as many as a hundred cavalrymen. After swinging once and crushing the heads of three cavalrymen at the same time, Sloitl shouted, raising his light green glowing battle hammer.
“Comrades! “Let’s show them our power!”
☆ ☆ ☆
“Hehehe… … .”
Tetzwald laughed. Looking at the scene before his eyes, he was so dumbfounded that he wasn’t even angry.
A hundred dwarf soldiers were mercilessly pushing back against the Sinai Fortress army, which was several times larger. Each of those dwarves had terrifying skills, so there was not a single soldier who could properly swing a sword. Everyone was dying without even being able to properly resist.
On the other hand, those dwarves do not show even minor injuries, let alone the dead. The difference in power was so devastating that even the sight of a wolf attacking a flock of sheep seemed gentle compared to that.
Looking down at the castle wall, the adjutant muttered in a trembling voice.
“My God, don’t they all have the inaction of knights? … .”
The archers were also useless. It becomes a melee, so if you fire an arrow, you will also harm your allies. A volley of fire should have been fired before this situation occurred, but the commander of the archers was also momentarily embarrassed and missed the timing.
In the end, the infantry and archers could do nothing and collapsed, spraying blood on the ground. It only took a few minutes for a hundred men to massacre an army nearly five times larger.
Tetzwald groaned at the three protagonists who had brought about this whole situation, the dwarves who all had dazzling lights in their weapons and were running wild like demons. He couldn’t believe it at first, but now he had to admit it.
“You’re an Auror user… … “A dwarf is an Auror user!”
The adjutant who was watching the situation together muttered in a dazed voice.
“What now, Tetzwald?”
Tetzwald also looked at the adjutant with blank eyes. As the feast of destruction of common sense continued for a full course, even the seasoned player was not able to use his judgment properly. At that time, Westrad, an elderly wizard standing nearby, hesitated and opened his mouth.
“Lord Tetzwald, if they are truly Auror users, the castle gate is dangerous… … .”
He was scouting around the fortress under orders from Wongyeon, as ordered. However, given the current situation, it was not the time for him to report that there was no ambush. Tetzwald came to his senses after hearing Westrad’s words.
The dwarves who had annihilated the Sinai Fortress advance team were seen running towards the gate with great momentum. Certainly, the power of an Auror user is enough to break down even the thick gates of the Sinai Fortress. Because Lord Tetzwald himself can do it right now.
He stammered,
“Yeah, right… … First, activate the fortress protection magic, Wizard Westrad.”
After receiving the order, Westrad hurriedly ran up the castle wall. Already at the guard post above the castle gate, four wizards were waiting for him, standing on a magic circle. They were all magicians who received support from the Duke of Fernando.
“Everyone, start your protective spells!”
At Westrad’s words, everyone began to memorize the spell.
