“Power, come into my hands… … .”
“By an old contract, I ask… … .”
“The tree becomes a rock… … .”
“The rock becomes steel… … .”
“I will become a strong shield that cannot be destroyed!”
As it was a strategic point among strategic points, Fortress Sinai had high-level defense magic circles installed throughout the castle to protect against attacks from powerful magic or Auror users. The five wizards joined forces to activate the protective magic engraved on the castle gate. The magic stones that had been placed in advance amplified their magic and imbued the entire castle with a powerful protective power.
At that time, Sloitl, who had just arrived at the castle gate, swung his battle hammer and struck.
Quaaaang!
The light green aura strikes precisely in the center of the castle gate. Fierce ripples spread in all directions and the ground shook as if there had been an earthquake. But the gate was not broken. The moment the battle hammer hit, it glowed faintly and scattered all destructive power in all directions.
Sloitl clicked his tongue as he withdrew the hammer.
“Tsk!”
Westrad sighed as he looked down the castle walls.
“Hehe, fortunately it’s not too late.”
Dozens of arrows began raining down on Sloitl, who failed to break down the castle gate. The Sinai Fortress garrison, which had wandered around in confusion at first, also seemed to be ready for battle.
Sloitl steps back, hitting the arrows with the hammer. Soon, countless arrows rained down on the entire dwarf army. Raising their shields to cover their heads, the dwarves ducked out of the range of the arrows.
Reppenhardt, who was watching from afar, nodded.
“As expected, since it is a Sinai fortress, the level of defensive magic circles installed is high.”
Currently, Reppenhardt was setting up his main camp on one side of the ridge overlooking the fortress and observing the situation of the war. Well, even though it was the main base, it was just Siris and Silan and their party, the elven women in charge of the supply wagon, and Talcata. To begin with, there were a little over a hundred troops, so the main camp consisted of only about fifteen.
Cilan looked worried as he looked at the dwarves who were on the defensive.
“Do you think you’re at a disadvantage, Mr. Leffen?”
“are you okay. “This was also expected.”
Reppenhardt signaled by raising one hand. Then, about twenty elf warriors who were among the dwarves separated from the formation and stood side by side. And then everyone started shouting, putting their hands in the air.
“Friend of the scorching flame!”
Huge flame giants appeared all at once. All twenty people summoned Ignasis, the spirit of fire. The flame giants heated up the air and rushed towards the castle all at once. Of course, the fortress army also counterattacked with arrows… … .
“Heh, ordinary arrows don’t work on the spirit Ignasis, who is not an actual substance but a flame itself.”
The elf, Relhad, smiled coldly as he looked at the running spirit. We will never be able to stop them without powerful magic, holy power, or the power of Aurors!
Twenty fire giants attacked various parts of the fortress all at once. Every time, an explosion sounds and flames rise. It is a defensive magic circle with strong resistance to aura, magic power, and divine power. However, they were completely defenseless against elemental power, and the Ignasis shook the fortress’s defensive magic and consumed the magical power of the magic circle at an alarming rate.
Kwaaaaang!
In the end, the last Ignasis sent by Relhard struck a blow and broke the defensive magic circle. The wizards standing on the castle walls collapsed, coughing up blood.
“Knock!”
“Wow!”
The faint light of the castle gate soon fades away. Tetzwald shouted with an even more shocked expression.
“What is that again?”
He had also seen wizards sometimes summon spirits. But the elves’ methods were not like that.
In order for a wizard to summon a spirit, a complex summoning magic circle is needed. There must be a bright pattern of light that is easy for an outsider to recognize even when viewed from the side. However, those elves summoned the spirit without any summoning circle.
The adjutant muttered with an expression that he did not understand.
“like… … It’s like spirit magic from children’s storybooks… … .”
Tetzwald had also read quite a few children’s books when he was young. He muttered in exasperation.
“her? Like elves? “Do you think they are some sort of fairytale beauty spirit?”
In fact, in the original version of the fairy tale, the beautiful spiritist is an elf. However, now that all fairy tales and folk tales have been reorganized to human standards, no one even knows that elves can use elemental magic.
“Thank you for your hard work, Relhad!”
Cardamite, who was swatting away arrows, raised his ax spear and thanked Relhard. Now that the magic circle protecting that gate was gone, there was nothing to worry about anymore. He ran forward, emitting a long red-brown aura.
“Huh uh up!”
With a loud cheer, the aura of the entire body is raised. It resonates with the earth and further amplifies the energy raised. In that state, Cardamite struck down the ax spear. The red-brown aura stretched out and struck the gates of the Sinai Fortress precisely.
Quaaaang!
With the explosion, sawdust and wood fragments fly in all directions. The thick gate was shattered in one blow. The expressions of everyone in the fortress turned pale.
The gate was broken.
Those evil spirits come into the castle.
Monsters wielding dazzling auras come at you like a nightmare!
No matter how hard-headed Tetswald was, he couldn’t just sit back and watch the situation come to this point.
“Knights of Ferdinand! “Everyone, sortie!”
After shouting, he himself drew his sword. He muttered through gritted teeth.
“I will take charge of those guys myself.”
In fact, even if the castle gate collapsed, the number of dwarves was still small. In fact, waging a siege using the castle structure is a reasonable choice. But neither Tetzwald nor others ever thought that far.
It was an indelible shame that the gates were broken down by mere slaves.
How much more so should we allow their dirty footprints even inside the fortress? That in itself is already tantamount to defeat!
“Defeat those monsters!”
Tetzwald gallantly rushed to the castle gate on his horse. The Knights of Fernando followed, shouting.
“For the true king!”
“Let’s show those lowly things the power of a true knight!”
4
When Tetzwald was dispatched, with a loud force, as many as 2,000 troops rushed out through the east and west gates of the fortress. Except for the thousand men guarding the fortress, all were sent to the battlefield.
Although they confidently took on the fight from the front, the dwarves’ attack was in fact no different from a mental surprise attack. Nevertheless, everyone was marching in orderly formation and forming a siege network. It was proof that these were quite elite soldiers.
Although each individual’s skills are superior, it is not easy for the Dwarf-Elf combined force of only about a hundred people to handle a difference of two thousand troops. Cardamite shouted urgently.
“Malloid! Slow! “Protect your comrades!”
“I understand!”
Maloids and Sloitl scattered in all directions, blocking three directions. The Fernando Knights rode their horses all at once toward the side that the Auror was unable to defend. Aiming the spear, speeding up and rushing towards the dwarves. The dwarf soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder and raised their shields to face the knights’ charge. It was a human measure.
Are you just going to block a running horse with a shield? One of the knights shouted, laughing at their foolishness.

“I’ll see through everything, you idiots!”
In an instant, the knights attacked the dwarf soldiers. The very moment when the heavy horse’s hoof was about to crush the dwarves with their shields.
“Huh uh up!”
Surprisingly, the dwarves raised their shields and threw the knights away!
Heehee!
“Aaaah!”
The horses’ neighing and screams mingled, and the leading knights fell from their horses all at once. It was the power of earth resonance that instantly increased strength ten times. Although it was a limited skill that could only be used for a moment, the seasoned dwarf warriors timed it accurately and blocked the knights’ charge. At that moment, they were not soldiers with shields but like solid walls.
“Lord Gus!”
“Shit!”
Other drivers were swearing. The first attack was barely blocked, but even so, there were still a lot more knights left. The knights, enraged by the death of their comrades, became excited and began to attack the dwarves.
Fighting broke out everywhere outside the fortress.
“Where on earth did these guys come from?”
Tetzwald gritted his teeth as he pulled out a series of ultramarine blue auras and swung them around. Despite being nearly 20 times the difference in power, it was the Sinai Fortress Army that was suffering the most damage.
These dwarven warriors were almost unscathed by regular troops. The reason was that not only were they skilled, but the weapons and armor they used were incredibly good.
One of the knights shouted as he threw away his shield that had been dented by the opponent’s blow.
“Why on earth are these guys’ weapons so good?”
I already knew that the dwarves were very dexterous, but even so, their armament was very poor. Fernando’s knights are also made by dwarves forged from precious metals, but if they collide with their weapons, the blades will quickly get damaged or dented.
However, from the perspective of the dwarves of Grand Forge, it was a natural result.
Although they are made of the same dwarves, those on the other side were reluctantly made and given away, and on this side, those who have fully inherited the skills of their ancestors put a lot of effort into selecting only the best quality for the warriors of their clan. Is there any way to compare?
The screaming continued. Most of the screams came from the Sinai Fortress garrison, but there were also some from elves and dwarves. It was an ignorant battle of twenty to one, so no matter how elite the dwarves and elves were, there was no way they would not suffer any damage.
And most of those screams were coming from the hands of Tetzwald, the strongest knight in Crovence who wielded an ultramarine blue aura.
“These lowly things don’t even know the subject!”
While swearing, Tetswald was chopping down his enemy one after another. Already more than ten dwarf warriors were reduced to cold corpses in his hands. Cardamite, who was blocking the attack on the other side, bit his lip at the sight.
“Shit!”
Cardamite flew up and headed towards Tetzwald. Cardamite, who quickly closed the distance, struck first. The red-brown auror drew a circular trajectory and aimed at Tetzwald’s head.
“I’m dealing with you!”
“You arrogant! “How dare you imitate an Auror user on the subject of a ground puppy?!”
With a shout, Tetswald repelled the attack. As Auror and Auror clashed, strong recoil hit each other.
Coooooo!
A ripple spread and the two people took a step back at the same time. Tetzwald’s expression stiffened as he straightened his posture.
‘What is this… … ?’
In fact, Tetzwald was still looking down on them. Although he was lucky enough to awaken as an Auror, he arbitrarily concluded that a Dwarf was just a Dwarf and would be only half as good as a proper ‘human’ Auror.
But just one clash was enough for him to change his mind.
‘You’re never under me, right?’
My grip still feels numb due to the repulsive force of the auror felt by the sword. Tetzwald got off his horse with a serious expression. In a fight between Aurors, the mobility of horses is of little significance. Rather, it just becomes a hindrance.
Tetzwald finally recognized Cardamite as a proper opponent.
pop! Puff!
The red-brown aura and the ultramarine blue aura clash in succession, making a loud noise. Cardamite’s ax spear and Tezwald’s long sword pass by each other without stopping. Fatal blows rain down on each other one after another, narrowly missing the opponent and flowing again along the path.
Other knights engaged in battle cried out in surprise at the sight.
“What is that guy?”
“It’s surprising that a dwarf has Auror abilities… … .”
“Can you face Lord Tetzwald?”
I couldn’t believe the sight before my eyes. He was a Tetswald who had trained his sword all his life, and never neglected training even after awakening to Auror. However, dwarves are competing against Tetswald, who has been renowned as the strongest knight in the Kingdom of Crovence for over 10 years.
Hehehe!
The ultramarine blue aura curves like a whip and aims at the side. Cardamite calmly glared at the opponent in front of him, tilting his ax spear to attack.
‘As expected, humans are not easy.’
Sir Tetzwald was indeed a powerful Auror whose reputation was not to be ashamed of. His ultramarine auror, which surged like the ocean, and his sword skills, which he had honed over decades, were not inferior to Cardamite, who had lived for 150 years. No, in terms of skill alone, it seemed like he was superior to Cardamite.
‘At that age, he would have practiced swordsmanship for at most 40 to 50 years, and yet he is better than me… … .’
Cardamite made a bitter expression as he bounced off Tetzwald’s noisy aura.
After all, humans are a fast race.
If you learn something in the same amount of time, an elf or dwarf will never be able to keep up with the growth rate of a human.
Cardamite, once again amazed at the human’s power, swung his ax and spear even more fiercely. When Cardamite applies pressure with a powerful dwarf-like blow, Tetzwald escapes the crisis with his expert swordsmanship. The two Auror users faced each other repeatedly with their swords, sending out brilliant light of destruction in all directions. Both were swinging their weapons at the other with all their might.
☆ ☆ ☆
“Fortunately, Cardamite can deal with Tetzwald.”
Reppenhardt breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the two people fighting fiercely in the middle of the battlefield.
