How Weak Is This Magic?!
"Kill them!"
"You damned traitors!"
"For Regan Chista!"
"Long live High Priest Regan Chista!!"
Somewhere in the wilderness on the southwestern corner of the Valais Mountains.
The two sides together amassed a strange army of tens of thousands.
They were killing each other under the scorching midday sun, their screams and the sounds of them falling to the ground echoing endlessly.
What makes them strange is the presence of members in both teams.
There are many people who can release various elemental energies through long staffs or swords.
For example, there are flames that can explode, ice spikes that can pierce armor, or whirlwinds that can blow people into the air.
Their presence constantly turns countless low-ranking soldiers into bizarrely shaped corpses or flesh encased in iron, making the battlefield colorful, lively, and noisy.
"Is this magic? It looks so boring!"
Hidden on a nearby hillside, overlooking the entire battlefield, Biba Amatori maintained a smile on her face.
He simply commented on what he considered to be the first Otherworld war he had ever witnessed.
Chelsea and Mr. Hugh, who were standing nearby, nodded in agreement.
Only the Knight Ander, who couldn't understand, was confused.
Looking down at the battlefield, the knight longed to rush forward and join in, to kill all those bastards who followed the traitors.
But his rational mind kept reminding him that his most important task now was...
The purpose was likely to introduce these powerful adventurers to the Crown Prince.
As a royal guard knight, he is usually taciturn.
But he was well aware of how difficult the situation was for the Crown Prince of Wales.
They can now barely control this southernmost region, which is about one-tenth the size of the entire Albion Kingdom.
In other words.
Ninety percent of the kingdom's territory has been occupied by nobles who have rebelled under the influence of the Regan Chista cult.
Another thing is that these people don't understand Halkeginian.
This was strange, but to Knight Ander, it was precisely because of this that they were more trustworthy, at least indicating that they were not on the enemy's side.
As for the language barrier, although I cannot solve it myself, I am sure the Crown Prince of Wales will have a solution.
Why?
Because of magic.
The three, including Biba Amatori, were still observing the battlefield below.
As mentioned before, a great deal of intelligence about the world can be obtained from war.
But as they looked on, they became somewhat disappointed.
Magic doesn't seem to be that great.
Analyze from bottom to top.
The soldiers on both sides were just ordinary people wielding swords and wearing very simple armor; their martial arts skills, speed, and strength were negligible.
You must understand this in the Teigu World.
Even the Empire and the Alchemi Kingdom had troops armed with cold weapons.
However, they were already equipped with full-body armor of excellent quality, sufficient to withstand ordinary firearms bullets.
Looking at the forces on both sides in this world, only a very small number of people are wearing full armor.
Then there were the magic knights on the upper level and the mages standing in the rear, constantly acting as 'turrets' and launching various elemental attacks into the enemy's camp.
These magic knights, while their martial arts, or rather swordsmanship, weren't bad, weren't exactly outstanding either.
Occasionally, Wind Blade and flames would be released from the longsword.
Even to Biba Amatori, the effect was nothing special.
It's not as useful as the pistol and grenades hanging in my clothes.
And those mages unleashed ranged magic through the long staffs in their hands.
It mainly produces explosive fireballs, with a power roughly equivalent to a rocket launcher, but its advantage lies in its ability to fire continuously in a short period of time.
And then, that was it.
Biba Amatori didn't see a single person or thing that caught her eye.
Oh, right.
Among those groups whom the Knights Ander called rebels were some humanoid monsters who were said to be trolls.
They are estimated to be over two meters tall, with thick skin and flesh, and are much stronger than the average person.
He swung his thick, long spiked club with Earth Tiger force.
Each time, they managed to send several of the Crown Prince's low-ranking soldiers flying.
It looks a bit like the Goblins that Levi captured last night.
However, they were quickly dealt with by two or three guard knights working together.
It seems this troll isn't much smarter than a Goblins.
Its skin was grayish-blue, and purple saliva was dripping from its mouth.
"Alright, let's keep going and find the Crown Prince of Wales first."
Biba Amatori shook her head in disappointment.
This made him less hopeful of the Crown Prince of Wales.
However, the fact that Sir Anderson had previously told them that the Crown Prince of Wales might be able to resolve the language barrier through magic was quite appealing.
If that's truly possible, then the value of this crown prince, or rather, this kind of magic, would be immense for the World Government.
Furthermore, Biba Amatori also felt that the Crown Prince's status could be of use.
He was all too familiar with this.
When Biba Amatori was in Hinomoto, he was considered the crown prince of the country.
Although he was later crippled by that old guy, he knew how valuable that identity was.
Because we need to avoid areas where fighting is taking place.
The group traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently along the way, until dusk fell and the sun slowly set in the evening glow. Only then did they arrive at the gate of a fortress, led by Sir Anderson.
Faced with such a heavily guarded military fortress, the three members of the Biba Amatori remained calm and composed, simply watching as Sir Anderson negotiated with the other party.
Biba Amatori and Mr. Hugh, naturally, were both highly skilled and daring.
Having witnessed so many wars along the way, they found it difficult to feel any awe or reverence for the world's armies.
Of course, they remained vigilant.
After all, who knows if there are even more powerful magicians in this world?
"You gentlemen can rest here at Trelle Fortress for the night. I have already arranged for rooms and dinner to be prepared!"
Sir Ander approached Mr. Hugh and said this, and the latter then repeated his words to Biba Amatori.
"Good."
Biba Amatori didn't say much, because they weren't yet able to make the other person understand them.
A moment later.
The three were assigned three mediocre rooms inside the fortress, and then, without any hesitation, they automatically gathered in Biba Amatori's room.
"Chelsea, Anderson and two others went south. Follow them, find the Crown Prince's location, and report back to us."
Biba Amatori smiled slightly as she looked at the dim sunset outside the window.
He had no interest in wasting time here. Since he could see the other party today, there was no need to wait until tomorrow. Besides, the surveillance capabilities of the people in this world were really quite poor.
"Yes, Captain!"
Chelsea took the formal order seriously and immediately went to the corner to use the Teigu 'Transform at Will Freedom: Gaia Foundation'.
She used her incredible 'makeup' skills to transform herself into an adorable little Nezumi.
After she left the small building, she transformed into a common yellow eagle at a corner, flapping her wings and flying towards the southern sky.
Soon.
Chelsea spotted Sir Anderson riding his warhorse south into the jungle from high above, followed by two guards also dressed in silver armor and black robes.
After entering the jungle, Chelsea fell from the sky.
Then, using a large tree for cover, it transformed back into a black leopard a few seconds later and continued to follow from the shadows.
Is this the place?
Finally, Chelsea saw Anderson and his two companions stop in front of a pristine white church-like building.
"Captain, I've found the target location."
She reverted to human form, took out a small Den Den Mushi, and reported to Biba Amatori, since a wireless headset would definitely not work at this distance.
"Alright, keep an eye on that Crown Prince. We'll get there as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Chelsea received orders to put the Den Den Mushi back in her pocket.
He then used the power of his Teigu to transform into a small bird resembling a sparrow, following behind Anderson and the others. Two seconds before the door was about to close, he quickly flew inside.
