Chapter 76
In the border between the Tosuminia and Faskurn, there is a valley which run along the borderline and separates the two kingdoms .
The two kingdoms each build a fortress on the plain near their respective valley exits . This area is mostly barren with little magic beast to hunt and scarce resources such as plantation and minerals so the only one who can be seen around the area are mostly just merchant transporting their goods .
At the same time when the news of war between Ezemeria and Faskurn getting more intense came, Tosuminia King quickly react with strengthening the border guard . No matter how, it is a truth that Faskurn managed to acquire power strong enough that enabled them to go face to face with Ezemeria which have strong mercenary group so Tosumina King feels that the flame of war would definitely spread to his kingdom too .
But now, situations that Tosuminia and even Faskurn unable to forecast happened in succession .
The mercenary that Tosuminia managed to hire numbered over 500 strong . With Tosuminia border fortress filled to the brim with their army, the mercenary can only make encampment behind the fortress for them to rest .
Renya and his party is also inside one of the tent in the encampment and they are currently having a strategy meeting for the upcoming war .
“Who would have thought that those black armor knights are actually a mass producing type? How unexpected”
“I wonder why Faskurn would use something like that”
To Floria ‘airheaded’ question, Brenda would naturally answers .
“Someone from Ordough Sect must have offered it to them right? And then according to the standard of the kingdoms in this continent, Faskurn would definitely be the first to bite”
“Because the kingdom itself is Nouveau Riche right . If they could possess such a powerful nearly invincible army in their hand, they would agree to pay for it no matter how much money it cost”
“But Elvira, do you think the sect do this because they want money? That couldn’t be just that right?”
“Floria-san, if I might presume, gathering funds is only their second objective . I have a heard bits and pieces about Ordough Sect from Renya-sama before and it seems that they have an unhealthy obsession in making people feel grief, despair, and other kinds of negative emotion . With the more the better”
“With this irrational war happening, all the kingdoms involved will be the perfect source for such negative emotion, right”
Renya and his party nod at each other .
Looking at the surrounding soldier and mercenaries, they have shown many kinds of emotion already . Those mad men from the sect should be laughing happily right now,
The grief of the soldiers who fall at such war without founding any meaning .
The grief of the common folks that got abused without knowing the reason .
No matter if they are allies or enemies, their scream could even pierce the sky . So how could those mad men from the sect not feel happy with the success of their plan .
Well, too bad, it won’t though .
“But the fortress commander seems to be stupefied desu”
“Well, that can’t be helped . Renya was decimating those black knight unit easily after all”
“Just in case, I have made preparation like reporting our experiences in Eribeiris (With the Prince who got a divine armament gift from Renya and tsun princess) and also communicate with the Warrior and Magician guild about their weakness but . . . . . . ”
“We just go and make contribution that even surpass that right”
“ . . . . . . Nn, Onii-chan was wonderful”
“There is no meaning in prolonging this after all . And there’s also Ezemeria to think about . I don’t feel any need in holding myself back so I just finish it as fast as I could as I feel that is the best”
That was what he said but Renya can’t hide his smile from receiving the envious gaze and words of praise from everyone .
His contribution in war could be simply summarized like this:
Tosuminia scout managed to detect Faskurn army movement so they planned an ambush at the exit of the valley .
The army planned to rain that black knight unit with long range high powered magic bombardment with magician from the mercenary and magician guild as the main attacker . The commander have collected enough information so he could already make assumption of such situation . The black knight unit still march forward in a perfect formation while still maintaining their normal speed which give plenty of chances for the defender to shoot wave after wave of magic bombardment .
Faskurn army naturally would expect such move and they don’t belief that such attack could annihilate their ultimate army .
Well, there are actually some black knight that is fallen because of the magic bombardment but the pace of them getting defeated is just too slow . Their number will still be quite high when they reach Tosuminia’s border fortress . Everyone thought that a direct confrontation between the border guard and that black knight unit is unavoidable .
But they don’t know .
There is a special being mixed in with them . A special being that could steamroll army of thousands, even army of tens of thousands would still find difficult to rival .
[The wrath of heaven that slaughter demons and fiends alike, Thy shalt know that the wrath of a god is like a thunder mowing down the earth . Cometh forth, Rolling Thunder Sovereign Divine Sword, TAKE MIKAZUCHI]
[Eros: I swear these line to summon divine armaments always tickle the chuunibyou in me]
In Renya previous world, in one of the legend that have been handed down since the old days of Japan .
It was the Deity of Lightning’s name and it is also the Deity of Sword’s name . The sword that is birthed by the deity was thus named as such, the Japanese katana that crowned by the name of one from the three pillar deity .
Its design is that of a simple uchigatana, a kind of curved katana that could be unsheathed and strike the enemy in one action (Eros: as in Iai slash) . But its blade is clad with imperishable purple thunder .
Its power makes one to not even feel any fear by just a few hundreds of black knights that were previously a nightmare to everyone as it could summon an infinite amount of thunder from above .
If the divine sword could cover a large area with rain of thunders, then it also could focus its power into one spot to concentrate the power of infinity thunder into one rolling thunder . This divine armament is truly the personification of the god’s wrath . Renya pulled it out without restrain .
Different from a certain no-control thunder god, the accuracy of each thunder strike is highly precise that it might even make the aforementioned god to feel jealous .
When he was fighting with the predecessor War God, the concentrated rolling thunder is the first attack that could force the old god to defend himself with both hands . That small achievement made this divine sword one of his favorite .
The surging waves of thunder is like pouring water on the battlefield, making the surrounding fall into silence .
No matter if it was allies or enemies .
But when the clouds of sand that was raised because of the thunder strike cleared up, the figure of black knight is nowhere to be see . When everyone realize the situation, the light and darkness clearly split .
Both sides raises their voice like trying to even rupture the heavens .
Tosuminia side is rising cries of victory .
Faskurn side is rising scream of defeat .
To avoid the loss of manpower, Faskurn only deploy a minimum amount of knight in the war .
Rations, wages, if the army moved there would definitely followed by cost .
Because they use the black knight unit that can keep on battling for 24/7 without rest and without pay as long as there are enough people to command them, Faskurn army arrangement could be said as perfect but what if that invincible part got defeated?
So in the end, what can a few hundred of knight, and the kind that always relied on the black knight to do the job, can do?
Tosuminia knight brigade is making the best use of the characteristic of the plain by using horsemen unit . With lance as their main weapon, they charge straight through the enemy center formation which got instantly routed . The mercenary unit is following behind in a scattered formation . They employed an orthodox yet effective way to crush each escaping enemies by overwhelming them with numbers . Faskurn army is easily annihilated .
The fight ended with Renya as number one contributor which is only known by the few at the top . Aside from that fact, the fight in Tosuminia border ended with the complete victory from Tosuminia side .
“Well, their tactics depend heavily on the black knight after all . If we can destroy that part then everyone can easily guess the result”
“Well, it’s been a while since you are going all out right Renya?”
“My bad, I somehow getting on the mood you know . I even said something like [Let me show you, Lapu . . . . . . The God of Thunder!] spontaneously”
(Eros: maybe a line from Sky Castle Laputa? Eros doesn’t watch many Ghibli)
“If you say all of it then thing could get dangerous . The agency might move”
“You know right? Letting things going with the flow might get me into trouble”
When Renya and Floria are talking about things that only the two of them understand, the other can only tilt their head in confusion .
“But you know . . . This situation is kinda awkward”
“ . . . . . . What do you mean?”
“Umu, even for me who is self aware of my own nature, I still can’t find the mood to flirt inside this tent, is what I mean”
Just in case Renya had already cast a soundproof barrier around the tent but this tent interior doesn’t look like the one a commander has with furniture, bedding, and woodwork inside . It was just a simple large tent where 6 people can rest comfortably with space to spare . It just not suited to do ‘many other’ things inside .
