Eh? Again?"
Although I think it's useless no matter how many times they try.
Ah, no, it's useless.
Normally, someone's magic power would run out.
It's possible the enemy is using a magic formation in the same way we are.
In other words, multiple people are pouring magic into magic circles, it doesn't have to be a lone saint class magician.
Because they have a force ten times the size of ours, they should have ten times the number of magicians.
It's not unreasonable for them to believe that if they continue to spam magic, we will become depleted first.
Wait a minute?
If I think about it, doesn't that mean there is not one of Hitogami's apostles over there?
Having an apostle among them, they would be aware of me and won't show this kind of behavior.
It's a waste of magicians.
"For now I'll just resist them until they give up. That'll be good, right?"
"Ah, yes. With that kind of magic... will you be alright?"
"I'll be fine."
The sub commander looked at me with eyes filled with fear now.
Only my total aggregate magical power is large.
Even if I stop ten of those saint rank attacks I would still have power to spare.
They used sandstorm five more times, all of which I resisted.
If I used Ran ma then I could limit my power consumption but...
It would absolutely fail at this distance.
" .... "
For now, the movement of the enemy has been stopped.
Did they no longer have magicians which could power saint ranked magic?
Or perhaps all of the magic circles they had prepared were used up.
Maybe they just realized it was a waste...
"I wonder if they'll attack."
"They will."
Looking towards the enemy sub commander, Billy spoke with a stern look,
"If I was the enemy's commander, I would not just charge recklessly into a battlefield that is littered with traps.
I would pull back.
You can misread the power of your opponent in the opening stages so it's best to pull back and re-examine their forces.
If it was me that is what I would do."
"Oh... it seems that they are coming."
When I look, I see that the enemy encampment has started moving.
They dragged themselves along and moved towards us, slowly leaving a trail behind them.
Well, anyway.
They probably carefully held a strategy meeting and then came after forming a variety of plans.
Pulling back would use up food and supplies and could also harm the morale of the troops.
It may not be necessary to withdraw just because you were shamed in the opening maneuvers.
In normal exchanges, our magicians would have used up magical power as well.
In that case they would be able to pass through the pitfall zone unmolested.
That is probably what they are thinking.
"Archers at the ready!"
In response to the orders from the sub commander, bowmen came to the front.
Any enemy attempting to cross the pitfall zone will be targeted by arrows.
"Fire!"
