2274 Beginning of the war, its 17th ~ Northern Front ⑤ ~

"... what's going on?"

Ridil was dumbfounded, staring at the sight in front of her. There was a fire in the place where they were supposed to visit and take a break. No one should know where we are. How did you know - Ridil's thoughts were pure white. I can't get water or food from this. I haven't drunk it for almost three days, and I've been in a state where I haven't eaten it. This is not the end of the fight. Ridil had no idea what to do next.

Corwin's plan was simple.

"If you don't know about microorganisms, whether you're a dragon or a human, you don't drink, you don't eat, you don't sleep, and you don't know the answer. I don't know about the demon king, but at least you can't make a cool decision."

A dragon is originally a party of about 20 to 30 fighters that targets one dragon. If there are 5,000 of them and the leadership is taken, there is no choice to fight from the front.

I don't think a half-baked trap or ambush would be effective. What should I do then? Defeat the Recon Dragon first and blindfold it, then show off the power of the cannon in time for development and use it as a deterrent. Alpha Reese told us not to use the cannon, but rather to use the wisdom of our eyes. Considering that the artillery was developed in time as a matter of Book, Corwin took sleep, rest, and food from the dragons.

The dragons also rest at night. That was what Layer and Lunatica knew from their pursuit, and low-ranking dragons frequently needed food and water. Find out where you're sourcing them, get ahead and crush them. At night, they made noise and ran away, sometimes shooting cannons into the darkness, burning foul-smelling vanilla from above and harassing it. The distance that the line earned. Corwin showed how much that would make a difference in the fight against an opponent with a competent military master.

Ridil is out of control and understands the limit after clearing a few dragons to leave the herd.

"Gather the heads of the herd." I need to talk to you. "

Ridil told a story to Green Dragon Cradle, who serves as herd's lieutenant. Later, more than a dozen wise dragons gathered together to serve as herds.

Lydie leaned back at them without changing her expression.

“Listen, we've been pushing for an ideal home, not a black mage's suggestion. But it was about time. We are still far from our destination, and our fatigue is deep. The dragons will soon be out of control. I want to take a decision."

"Listen to your opinion, isn't it?"

Zilong Venoloa asked quietly. But Ridil also quietly denied it.

"I'm the main one, so it would be unsettling to come here without thinking." Of course, you can leave if you don't follow any of the suggestions. ”

Let's hear it.

Affirmed by the Dragon Ganef. The other dragons waited quietly for Ridil's words.

“One is to force Alexandria to remain that way. Alexandria is a fertile land, and it is difficult to imagine that those mercenaries could reach it so far, if even one of the towns were to be attacked, the food and water would be caught up in it. Besides, this is also a contract with a black mage."

"How many days does it take to get to Alexandria?"

"With the current marching speed, it should take more than 10 days."

"It's a dead end." We Pterosaurs alone will arrive in a day, but I wonder if we still have the strength to fight when the others arrive. The wise dragons here will be able to fight, but the other dragons won't even fight in starvation. "

As Pterosaurus Flavnir narrowed his eyes and looked around, every dragon silently affirmed the statement. Ridil continues.

“The other is to act completely out of purpose, including retreat, and move to secure water and small quantities.”

Sounds good in the short term, but it's going to be tough after that, right?

"That's right. There's a watchman, so the black magician can move." If that happens, there is also a possibility that you will be purified with your eyes. Of course, without their guidance, we may not be able to secure food and water. And occupying the land around here would be a reality far from the ideal home. If we can't secure the ideal land, Arnelia's expedition will arrive soon. The endless battle may begin. ”

In that case, the dragon's nest might be better.

The snake dragon Nephew sighed. There were a few other people who let out sighs, but the dragons knew that it didn't make things any easier.

No one said a word, but an unfamiliar voice was heard from above. A giant dragon legend called out. Legirend had never heard any other dragon utter a word, so he looked back at him unexpectedly.

... the dragon's nest was a land that would end anyway... everyone here would have come out convinced... to stretch or defeat it from the beginning... don't be so critical now...

“I'm not criticizing you. It's just that I don't have a good choice."

... Lord Ridil... do you have any other thoughts? Let's hear it... "

"Yes, I will surrender."

Ridil's words were upsetting, but Nephew the snake dragon shone his eyes amusedly, and Legend the corpse dragon and Green Dragon Cradle nodded convincingly.

However, among the wise dragons, the relatively young ones were not.
