Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"I wonder how the enemy will appear in the future.

Holm grinned at my question. He looked as if he had been waiting for me.

"If I were the enemy commander, I would launch a night attack tonight."

"I see."

"We must strike Raunescu, who is encamped in the back of the mountain, with all our forces. Then we will have a hand of water. If we can do that, we can hold the castle and it will not fall until we run out of food.

"Then it's just a matter of endurance."

"That's right. Well, if I were you, I would invade our country and cut off as much territory as I can without thinking of retreat. ...... Oops."

Holm suddenly shrugs. The commander-in-chief was standing behind me.

"You still talk a lot, Holm."

"...... thank you very much."

At the commander-in-chief's words, he stepped back. The Commander-in-Chief, following him with a reproachful look in his eyes, opens his mouth without saying anything to anyone.

"A man who talks a lot is not fit to be a soldier.

"Is that the way it is?"

"That's the way it is."

The commander-in-chief doesn't think very highly of him."

"......"

"I think he's pretty good, though."

"......"

"If the Safanid army doesn't want him, I'll recruit him for Agartha."

......The eyes of the Commander-in-Chief frighten me. But I really think that I could recruit Holm. His thoughts are similar to those of Knogen. If he joins the Agartha army, he will make the soldiers even better trained.

"Hmph, amateurish thinking..."

The commander-in-chief said as if to throw up. I don't know if he is simply blind to Holm's military qualities or if he is jealous of them, but it is probably the former. I wonder how he can be a commander in command of an army of tens of thousands, I mutter to myself.

"By the way, what are you going to do now, Mr. Commander-in-Chief?

What do you mean, what do you do?

"No. ...... What do you think the Safan army will do now?"

"I'll be watching."

What?

"We're going to stay here and watch."

"Um, ......, are you prepared for a night raid?"

I don't think that's necessary.

Oh, my God.

Isn't that bad in many ways?　I couldn't help but let it slip out. The commander-in-chief is still looking at me with hatred. He opened his mouth as if he was going to chew and include it in his speech.

"The enemy is waiting for the rain now that the water is cut off.

"Rain?"

"The weather in the mountains is changeable. They are waiting for the change of the weather.

"...... Um, if the enemy acquires water, won't it be harder to attack them?"

We must attack them before they get water."

"I'm sorry, sir, I just don't understand what you're talking about. ......"

The Commander-in-Chief sniffed and continued to speak, giving me a look of contempt.

"If it rains, the enemy will come out of the castle. Soldiers will come out with barrels and pots to get water. We must seize this opportunity and attack the castle. The enemy will be caught by surprise and will be cut down by us without being able to put up any resistance. It will also help to minimize the damage to our army!"

"Ohhhhh~"

I winced. I am impressed in a different way that he thought of such a thing. I even wish it would rain. I wonder what will happen to Castle Khaza. I wonder what will happen to the Seifund forces that attacked it. I would like to see.

Sadie tugs at my hem. I look at her and she slowly shakes her head from side to side.

"I don't think it will rain."

"How can you be so sure?

The commander-in-chief snapped at Sidi's words. Sidi is in a state of shock. She must be thinking, "What the hell is this guy? He continued to speak to her.

"The sky is cloudy, isn't it!　How can you be so sure it won't rain?　...... Whoa!"

The Commander-in-Chief backs away. The water spirals around Escalina's body.

The Commander-in-Chief gives us a hateful look, then turns on his heel and leaves.

"......No, I beg your pardon."

Sarma appeared in front of us as if he were replacing the commander-in-chief. He opens his mouth with an apologetic expression on his face.

"Our army needs to minimize the damage as much as possible. ......"

"It's all well and good to limit damage, but what good is it if the battle is lost? We could lose the country, not just the damage, right?

Sarma smiles bitterly at my words.

"Well, I don't say anything bad, but I think we should prepare for the possibility that the enemy will attack us at night. I don't mean to say this, but I feel that Mr. Holm has a much better grasp of the war situation than your Commander-in-Chief.

"Thank you. I will discuss the matter with Mr. Holm.

Sarma said this and ran to Holm.

"Ah!　You guys!"

Suddenly, Julia appeared in front of me. Her robe was very dirty. She has been wandering around in the mountains for quite a while.

"You're alive!"

She came up to us.

"Where the hell have you been?

"...... No, we were going through the mountains."

"We've been waiting for you because we were worried about you!"

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry about that."

She looks around, then she leans in close to us and opens her mouth in a hushed voice.

"Did you see ...... yesterday?"

"...... what are you talking about?"

"There was a ball of light running through the sky and it dried up the water in the river."

"Oh, that's a strange thing. I didn't know that was possible. That's amazing.

"You're getting ...... barred."

Sidi mutters in a small voice from behind. No, I don't think so.

"...... haven't you seen it?"

Julia asks suspiciously.

"No, we were moving through the forest, so we didn't see the river.

"...... Is that so?　I don't think so, but you didn't do that, did you?"

"What?"

"...... No way. But it's not safe for a small group of people to travel through the woods. You don't know it, but it's really dangerous in the woods. From now on, I want you at least to travel with the soldiers. I will tell that to Sarma.

"...... Thank you. From the looks of it, it's pretty dirty. Did you look for us in the forest, by any chance?

"Yes. I ran out of magic yesterday, so I came back here and drank a potion and looked for you in the forest for a while after the sun came up. Because the king of Agartha sent us all here, and it would be a shame for the empire if we sent you home injured."

...... is a very nice man, isn't he? I was a little ashamed of myself for calling her annoying. She folded her arms and looked in the direction of Thurma.

"In the first place, that man is that man. He's the one who left the messengers behind and retreated before us. What will he do if the messengers die?

She looked at us again and continued to speak.

"If you must move on your own, let me know. I may look like this, but I also have warding skills, so as long as you don't get too far from me, I can protect you without any problem. Yes, I'll put some weak warding on you.

Then she began chanting. It took quite a long time.

"...... Huh?　That's strange. I can't get the warding to work. Why?"

The reason is simple... you can't put a lvl 2 warding on top of a lvl 5 warding... ....
