Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 46.1

The recent migration of wyverns could not have come at a worse time for the Kingdom of Yurefelt.

According to the news that arrived after I fell asleep yesterday, the army of Fulmelinta crossed the border and has already captured the capital of the Eberwein territory.

The cause of this was the migration of the wyverns.

Just before the wyverns arrived, the Yurefelt Kingdom’s army launched a surprise attack on the river’s central island, which had been jointly controlled for years, and occupied it.

It seems that our classmates were placed at the forefront of this battle.

The fighting was reportedly intense, and it’s been confirmed that four girls and three boys died.

The problem arose after that.

The six wyverns that flew in chose the central island, occupied by Yurefelt Kingdom, as their resting place.

Refusing to let their hard-won territory be taken, the Yurefelt Kingdom’s army engaged the wyverns in battle, but they were decisively defeated.

Six wyverns, already tough to defend against, coordinated their attacks, making it unbearable.

Duke Andreas Eberwein, who managed Yurefelt Kingdom’s military, had assigned a large number of troops to defend the occupied central island.

Many of these troops became unable to fight due to the wyverns’ counterattack.

“But, the wyverns were powerful, but they sent enough troops to leave the capital defenseless, right?”

I asked, and Araseli nodded emphatically.

“As you said, Yuto-sama, a lot of forces were dedicated to the operation to occupy the central island.”

“Then…”

“If it were Fulmelinta, the battle would have been equal or better, but wyverns do not always attack from a specific direction.”

“That’s right… they can fly.”

Human armies, unless subjected to a major surprise attack, are limited in the direction from which they can be attacked.

You can arrange your frontline, middle line, and rear guard accordingly, but wyverns can freely attack from the sky, ignoring such formations.

Moreover, the central island, being a disputed area, was mostly used as farmland, with no places for soldiers to fortify.

As a result, even before the front lines could collapse, the commanders were attacked, causing the chain of command to fall apart.

The Yurefelt army was prepared to fight Fulmelinta’s cavalry and infantry, but instead faced an aerial assault.

Meanwhile, Fulmelinta’s troops were hiding in buildings in the town across the river from the central island.

“The wyverns attacked various towns in the Eberwein territory on their way to the capital.”

“So, Fulmelinta’s forces attacked after Yurefelt’s forces were weakened by the wyvern battle…”

“Duke Andreas Eberwein was also killed in the wyvern attack.”

“It was the worst-case scenario that Araseli predicted.”

Fulmelinta stopped its advance after occupying the Eberwein territory’s capital and started consolidating its hold.

For the Kingdom of Yurefelt, this is the greatest territorial loss in decades.

Without the wyvern migration, they might have secured the central island. On the other hand, if they hadn’t tried to occupy it, they wouldn’t have lost so much territory.

“The situation isn’t favorable for Yurefelt, but isn’t it favorable for the faction supporting the First Prince?”

“Indeed, the faction supporting the Second Prince lost their influential member, Duke Andreas, and suffered the disgrace of territorial loss.”

“Shouldn’t they just appoint Prince Alberic as the next king already?”
