Chapter 1216 (*/∇\*) A little girl who is habitually late!
Two days later......
On the plain west of the city of Yerantir and the border with the Basha's Empire, the army of hundreds of thousands of the kingdom of Ryštijj, which had been gathered for nearly two months, had already gathered here and had already set up camp, and was preparing for a big battle with the combined forces of the empire and the demon kingdom, which only had tens of thousands of them!
Of course, when it comes to a battle, in fact, in the eyes of the nobles and generals of the kingdom of Ri Yestij, it is nothing more than a one-sided massacre? Because they can proudly outnumber each other by ten times! With so many elite troops gathered here, once a fight starts, I am afraid that there is no need for their own army to dispatch, and the vanguard alone is enough to sweep away the coalition forces with less than tens of thousands like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, right?
Anyway, that's what most of the high-ranking people and soldiers of the Kingdom of Ri Estigh think, and they all firmly believe that victory will be theirs! And those Imperials who dare to invade their country under a ridiculous pretext and the so-called Magic Nation will have to pay for their stupidity!
But......
Given that yesterday it was discovered that there seemed to be a group of terrifying monster soldiers under the command of that Demon Wizard Nation, and that the original and ridiculous ultimatum deadline of the Empire had not yet arrived?
Therefore, the army of the kingdom of Rystij did not rush to attack at this time, but waited patiently for the nobles and high-ranking people who were holding a pre-battle meeting in the king's tent to discuss how to fight and arrange the relevant arrangements after the start of the war.
'Ladies and gentlemen......
'The coalition of the Empire and the Wizard Country, hasn't moved until now? ’
'Yes! ’
'Their main force still hasn't come out to line up, only some of the elite are outside their camp! However, Your Majesty, given that they are not very numerous, they will presumably have a lot less time to arrange their troops than on our side, and they should have plenty of time to deal with them before our soldiers are ready. ’
'Hmm, that'......'
'Calculate the time, now the five thousand elite soldiers led by the first prince Barubun should arrive in Karn Village, right?' Did they send back any news? ’
'No, Your Majesty! ’
'How could it not be?' Haven't they arrived at Karn yet?! ’
'Your Majesty! ’
'Judging by the speed of their march, they should have almost reached Karn by now, and must have succeeded in taking the small village that had been bewitched by Ainz your Gong, right?' Although the village had high walls made of wood and stone, it certainly couldn't stop the army of 5,000 led by His Highness! ’
I believe that soon, there will be good news! ’
'Very good......'
'So, Lana, is that Anne Hassta mage here?' ’
'Sorry! Father, she hasn't shown up yet....... but she may have come with her floating city, so it should be a little later? ’
'Floating City?' ’
'Hmm......'
'Let's hope she'll make it in time......
After asking about his concerns and nodding, and patting the back of his daughter's hand, Rambosar III sat down on his throne and groaned, not asking any more questions.
However, at this time, there was still a faint worry in his heart, especially after the soldiers detected that there was that terrible army of death knights under the command of that demon guide country yesterday!
Although there are not many of them, so many death knights standing together is enough to create a psychological deterrent to the soldiers of the kingdom, especially when it is not known what terrible magic or methods that the Demon King Ainz ul Gong will perform?
‘……’
Rambosar III always felt that today's battle might not be too smooth?
Although he thought of this, the anxious Rambosa III did not dare to show it to the precious daughter who came with the army, as well as the nobles and generals, and only pretended to inadvertently ask if a certain little girl who was also a powerful spellcaster had come.
Although, he also knew that his fears were somewhat unfounded?
After all, their kingdom of Yetij had dispatched almost all of its elite troops this time, with 240,000 elite troops, not counting those auxiliaries! And the enemy's coalition army, at most, is only a few tens of thousands...... Even if the time comes, the opponent's magic can indeed cause terrible damage to the army of their kingdom, but it is enough to claim that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even if there are 100,000 or 80,000 dead and wounded, it is enough to crush the other party, right?
But......
I don't know what happened, Rambosar III always felt that something was wrong, especially when he saw that the Bajas Empire and the Demon Wizard Kingdom combined were so many people, but they still dared to confront them head-on...... Therefore, he always felt that there was something that their kingdom had not thought through, and he always felt that things might be worse, but he didn't know what he should do, so he could only sit in his big tent with such a pretended calm, secretly waiting for the time to start the war.
'Humph! It's just a magic bard, what if you don't come or not?! ’
That's right, I also think Your Majesty is too worried! ’
'Your Majesty......'
I also know how powerful that little girl is, and I have seen it on the night of the rebellion in the royal capital! However, we have a total of 240,000 troops this time, and the enemy, excluding those who guard the camp and deploy defenses everywhere, can only take out about 40,000 or 50,000 to confront us head-on. ’
'That's it! If she doesn't come, she won't come~! ’
'Ladies and gentlemen! ’
'At the beginning, as powerful as thirteen heroes, at most, it was only able to kill three or five hundred people with a single magic, which was already the highest level that a spellcaster could achieve...... So, no matter how powerful that Ainz your Gong is, he can kill hundreds or thousands of people in one hit, right? ’
'Humph! ’
'One Ainz your Gong is not worth mentioning, even if he can really kill thousands of people with one magic, how many of that magic can he use in total? Is it two or three, even if we let him finish one by one, what can he do to us?! ’
'Haha! Bloom Rashhough was right! Although the equipment of the Imperial Army is indeed much better than that of our kingdom, and the soldiers are also very powerful, even if we kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 ourselves, we can afford to consume it! That magic king who came out of a corner of nowhere, that Ainz your Gong can kill and injure thousands of soldiers with the power of one person, and when the time comes, when he has no magic power, our brave soldiers will naturally knock every bone off his body! ’
And his big grave! ’
That's right! When the time comes, by the way, he will raze his Nasalik tomb to the ground, and burn all those dead people and monsters to ashes, leaving no chickens and dogs!! ’
'But, Pespeiahou, before we burn to ashes, we can go in and sweep and see what good things are in there? ’
"That's natural, loot is indispensable, it just so happens that we have a lot of high-level adventurers with us, and when we finish this one, we will go and dig up the grave of Ainz your Gong by the way!" ’
'Hahahaha......'
In this way, after discussing the innocuous topic, the nobles and generals in the king's tent laughed one after another, and did not feel that there was any suspense in the upcoming war at all!
Because they saw it, the Imperial Army of Tuoda might really think that the Demon King Ainz your Gong was very powerful, so they really only sent tens of thousands of troops to fight against them?
Soon, their armies will easily and utterly crush the foolish enemies and take advantage of the victory to attack the hinterland of the Empire, and then the foolish Empire will pay for their arrogance and stupidity! At that time, even if those imperial people want to cede land and pay reparations to sue for peace, I am afraid it will be too late!
'That's right! ’
'What about His Excellency Commander Gedev Storonov?' Why didn't I see him here? I've heard that he has equipped the four secret treasures of the kingdom this time, and I really want to see what it is! ’
At this moment, one of the generals suddenly looked around the tent and asked strangely.
The four treasures of the kingdom of Ri Jestijah are: the Guardian Armor forged from all deadly attacks forged from stainless steel, the Vitality Gauntlet that never tires, the Immortal Charm that continuously heals the wearer's injuries, and the Razor's Blade, a magic sword that can easily cut through even demonized armor!
Therefore, the warrior commander who is said to have been equipped with them will undoubtedly attract the attention of some nobles who are also generals.
‘!! ’
'Warrior Chief? I heard that he has gone to the front to check the situation......
'Humph! ’
'It's a must-win battle, so what's there to look at?' ’
'Huh! Also! ’
'In that case, let's go to the front, but we can't keep the Imperial guys waiting too long, I can't wait to see them defeat and beg for mercy on their knees!' ’
'Haha! ’
'Go! I'll go with you, too! ’
'Go along!' ’
'Your Majesty, shall we take our leave first?' ’
‘……’
Soon, after seeing that there was nothing to discuss, the nobles and generals sat down in the big tent, saluted His Majesty Rambosa III, who was sitting in the Chinese army, and then laughed and left, preparing to go to the front to kill the enemy, establish meritorious deeds, and make relevant preparations for the victory into the empire itself.
‘……’
'Lana ......'
'Ahh ’
'What's the matter, father?' ’
Are you sure, that little girl, she's coming? ’
'This ......'
It was the Rose Rigrid who said that she had accepted our request for help, and she must have fulfilled her promise and appeared, right? ’
'Hmm......'
'Father, what's the matter, what are you worried about?' ’
'It's nothing, but I just feel that since that Ainz your Gong is so admired by the Bajas Empire, and even does not hesitate to cede that cunning fellow, let that Emperor Gilkenifer Lune Farrod El take the initiative to cede territory and go to war against our kingdom to establish a state for him, I always feel that he will not be an easy fellow to deal with......
'Huh? 'Sweet potato
'But father, no matter how strong that Demon King is, he is only one person, can he control a war alone? ’
'Theoretically impossible, but I can't guarantee ......'
'What then?' ’
'Do you need to send someone to the Angelician Mountains now?' ’
'No! It's too late! ’
'Hopefully...... Lana, the little girl mage you invited, can you come in time this time? ’
Alas......
sighed in his heart, and after saying a few words to his daughter, he looked at the empty Chinese army tent, Rambosa III directly closed his eyes and stopped talking, because he knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so it was better not to say it, just wait patiently.
After all, he was very old, and as a king, he had done everything he had to do, and even risked his own life to come to the front line, and even organized several times stronger troops than the enemy, if he couldn't win the battle, then what could he expect?
'Report! ’
'Your Majesty! As the intelligence said, rows of black-armored death knights came out of the enemy's camp, and when they came out, the scene was very terrifying, and the number was about three thousand! ’
Soon, without waiting long for Rambosar III and the Golden Princess in the Great Tent, about half an hour later, a front-line herald rushed to the tent and reported what he had seen.
'Report! ’
'The front line is coming! See that Wizard King Ainz your Gong begin to cast and channel some kind of powerful magic!! ’
Before the herald who had just come in could leave, another soldier rushed in!
‘!! ’
'Quick! Pull back the curtain and I'm going to see what the hell is going on!! ’
Rambosa III was shocked, as if he sensed some very bad omen, so he hurriedly asked the two soldiers in front of him to open the curtain door of the big tent, so that he could clearly see the kind of magic array light that could be seen even in broad daylight in front of him, reaching the sky.
'That's ......'
‘!! ’
'Father! What a terrible mana fluctuation...... From so far away, I could feel my hairs stand on end, what was he putting on? ’
And soon, without waiting for Rambosa III to say anything, Lana, the precious daughter beside him, stood up with round eyes first, and looked at the sky-high light surging in the distance in the distance.
‘……’
'Lana? ’
'That little girl, hasn't she come yet?' ’
Rambosar III didn't know what kind of magic it was, but he only knew that if their helper, the little girl, didn't show up again, their kingdom would be in big trouble! Because, in his opinion, at this moment, I am afraid that only the little girl who is said to have defeated the Demon Guide King and successfully burned the other party into a skeleton has the ability to deal with it.
'I ......'
'I don't know...... Father, there doesn't seem to be a dragon in the sky, and I don't see a floating city......
After walking to the curtain door of the big tent, first glanced at the enemy formation in the distance with some fear, and then looked up and searched anxiously into the sky, the golden princess Lana replied with her hands on her chest, just standing by the curtain door and feeling a little confused.
'Really? ’
'Alas......'
For the first time today, Rambosar III sighed in front of the soldiers around him.
'Father, I—I really don't know......
But she had already promised us! She said she would be there today! ’
‘……’
'All right, Lana, I know you've done your best, but now, all we can do is wait, come, sit down with me, and let's see where this war will lead the kingdom?' ’
Rambosar III slowly closed his eyes, waiting for a new battle report to come back from front of him, and also waiting to see what kind of terrible magic the magic King Ainz ul Gong would cast?
If the strength of the other party is in their estimation, then there is still hope for this war, after all, those imperial troops and the enemy's three thousand death knights should not have reached the point where they can control the tide of the battle and defeat them completely.
But if, once the power of that Wizard King, Ainz your Gong, was beyond the expectations of all of them, there would be no need for this battle to continue...... When the time comes, what kind of ending will be for the kingdom of Ri Yestij, he can't imagine it now!
‘……’
'It seems that we can't count on outsiders in today's big battle......
Seeing that the Wizard King in the distance was still channeling magic and had not cast it for a long time, Rambosa III sighed to himself and then stopped talking, and began to wait anxiously for the verdict of fate.
What they don't know, however, is that a little girl really can't count on it......
Because, while the army of the kingdom of Ri Estij was nervously arranging for an attack on the combined forces of the Empire and the Wizard Kingdom, when a fellow named Ainz your Gong was about to unleash the super-superior magic of the army, she was still in her castle in the floating city, lying on her big soft bed and falling asleep!
“……”
₍₍٩(__*)₎₎zzZ
Yes, Anne was asleep, and there was no sign of waking up even when the sun was about to burn her ass, until she suddenly felt a slight fluctuation of powerful magic, and then opened her eyes in confusion.
After all, the Angelician Mountains are on the edge of this battlefield that the two sides preset, and at this time, the kind of fluctuations that someone starts to channel from the super-level magic must not be able to hide her perception, even if she almost never opens her perception, after all, the surging tide of magic power has surged to her floating city, how can she continue to be indifferent?
“……”
('-ωก̀)
"Tibbs, what's going on?"
٩(๑´0`๑)۶
After rubbing her sleepy eyes and stretching a little, Anne asked a little strangely over the bear she had hung on the coat rack to dry since last night.
(Report to the little master, in fact, it's nothing, it's just that there is a big bone frame that uses a legion-level summoning magic to kill tens of thousands of people in the kingdom of Ri Yestija at once...... Don't worry, it's so far away from here, it won't be able to make a noise for you! )
(● ̄(エ) ̄●)
(For Tibbs, who was thrown into the pool by a bad little girl two days ago and soaked for a full day, it is now resentful and slacking off, so although it has long found out that the kingdom of Ri Yestij is about to end, it has no intention of waking up the bad little master of its family at all, even if it knows that the other party has an agreement with that kingdom!)
Anyway, you can't blame it for this, who let some bad little master leave it in water and soak it for so long before? It's about to turn into a water bear, so even if it doesn't remind it, it's useless to persuade anyone!! )
"So it's going to be a war?"
(っ̯-。 )
"Fighting a war is not fun at all......"
ε=( ́ο'*)))) Alas
Rubbing her eyes, Anne lay back on the bed, ready to continue her sleep......
(…… )
(● ̄(エ) ̄●)
"Wait!"
━(◯Δ◯∥)━ン
"Wow! It turns out that they are already at war, is it today? They promised to help...... But isn't it said that tomorrow is good? Why did you start a fight today! ”
(゚Д゚≡゚д゚)!?
"Oops! That one...... It seems like it's really today!? ”
!? (•''•۶)۶
"It's over! Finished! It's going to be late! It's all your fault Tiebs, who didn't tell people to wake up early!! ”
-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ヘ(´Д`)ノ
After jumping out of bed and becoming sober in an instant, little Anne hurriedly picked up a bad bear who didn't remind her, and then hurried outside before she had time to put on her shoes.
(…… )
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
(Tiebs wouldn't have said to the wretched little master of his house that he deliberately didn't say it this time, that he was protesting silently!) And as for the fact that its protests have caused a kingdom to lose countless soldiers, what does it matter? )
