While making that dogai face, Zanoba starts to explain about Roxy. [13]
"This is Roxy Migurudia.
She is a person who was at one time the court magician to our Shirone kingdom.
Although I think many of you know this, she is also the person who developed the foundations of our modern paired magical training. [14]
And this is Rudeus Greyrat, her disciple. [15]
These two are both resourceful magicians of King class or higher."
The place came alive with oohs and ahhs.
I see.
At one time Roxy was the court magician for this country.
Among these soldiers there will be those who had been around in those days.
But that's not like you Zanoba.
Right now Roxy is Roxy Greyrat, not Migurudia.
Just how did you make such a blunder?
Well perhaps Migurdia is required to evoke her reputation.
"I'm sure you will have heard the story that Saint class magicians power is worth 1000 men.
In that case King class magic could be any kind of thing... !
Not many people know this, but in fact there is also a story from the Laplace campaign in the distant past where a single King class magician successfully repelled an army 100,000 strong!"
The entire place fell silent.
100,000 is probably too much of an exaggeration.
I have never heard such a story...
But there are some guys looking at me with yearning in their eyes. Apparently they believe it.
"In addition to these two people with King class or higher magic, myself, with the nickname Head Ripping Prince and a miko, will be leading from the front lines!"
After hearing that he is a miko and also the Head Ripping Prince the soldiers expectations soar.
In Shirone kingdom there is a miko called the Head Ripping Prince and even though he has a detestable nickname, when you put him on the battlefield he becomes reliable.
"Gentleman, I will promise victory to you."
As soon as Zanoba said this he raised his fist into the air.
The soldiers also raised their fists and yelled out loudly.
"Whooooooa!"
Their morale is excellent.
By no means was it a bad speech.
Surprisingly I wonder if Zanoba has the necessary talents for leadership.
I had never once thought such a thing, even just a bit, until now.
Talent isn't enough to become a king, but it might be enough to make someone a general.
So, in addition to this fort that seems hard to attack, we have two king class magicians.
To attack from here might not work, but defending it should be easy.
Zanoba is full of confidence and the soldier are cheering for him, it's that kind of story.
As I watched those soldiers saluting my anxiety faded.
I've trained myself properly.
I will do my best.
