I Already Know My Magic Power Is Ridiculously High! Now I Just Need a Cute Wife... - Episode 15

Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to the ten thousand soldiers we left as a decoy unit, Nephthys thought as she gazed southward.

Facing them is the 5,000-strong Ortenos army led by the foolish eldest son, who is only twelve years old.

They are probably still too scared to go to war, or they should be able to withstand an attack from a half-baked Stella-class ship.

“We don’t have time until departure, get the warriors back to a state where they can move! Wake up only those who are fully capable for the Stardust Dust! If they can’t move, leave them be! How many horses do we have now…?! Two hundred? That’s not enough! Increase the number!”

Nephthys was single-handedly reorganizing the troops while fighting valiantly.

It’s taking longer than expected to reorganize.

The reason is that it took time to relieve the numbness caused by the mysterious “intimidation.”

“Damn it! I don’t know who you are, but stop messing around!”

Barbato, who had been missing for a while, has returned.

“Your Highness! Where on earth have you been?”

“Ah? Of course, I’ve been searching for the Ortenos Star Stella-class that’s hiding somewhere.”

“Wh-What! It’s dangerous! Please don’t act alone!”

Nephthys was at her wit’s end with Barbato’s lack of urgency.

“Hmph, the culprit probably timed their approach to when my detection would activate, unleashed their full ‘intimidation,’ and then quickly retreated.”

“However, isn’t it impossible to dispel ‘Magic Binding’ with ‘Intimidation’?”

“Ugh, it’s Ortenos we’re talking about. They must have found some dirty trick to break the ‘Magic Binding’… I don’t know whose doing it is, but I’ll definitely track them down and torture them to death!”

Barbato was desperately trying to somehow keep this situation within the range of what he could foresee.

From Barbato’s perspective, it is certain that the Ortenos star Stella-class is nearby.

Since Shalka, who remained on the hill, was naturally excluded from the candidates, Barbato continued to pursue the nonexistent culprit.

“Your Highness, the designated time is approaching. What shall we do?”

“We’ll use ‘Mamatoten’ immediately and head to Ronshanto Fortress! Get ready quickly…”

“Dispatch, dispatch!”

When Barbato was about to have Nephthys command the formation, a tattered officer ran up with a look of desperation on his face.

“……What is it?”

Barbato, whose speech had been interrupted, asked grumpily.

“Hah, the Naia army of ten thousand, led by Knight Geraldo, who was stationed here to hold back the Ortenos army to the south, has been, has been completely annihilated!”

“Total annihilation!? No way! You! What the hell is going on!?”

Barbato grabbed the collar of the military officer who had come to report and shouted angrily.

“F-five hundred of Ortenos’ cavalry charged down the hill all at once, and with the speed of demons, they trampled our ten thousand troops!”

“Five hundred cavalry?! No way! Is there really such a ridiculous thing?!”

Barbato can’t keep up with the completely unrealistic content at all.

What on earth is happening? Barbato waited for the continuation of the military officer.

“Hah, our knights were taken down one by one from the front by their overwhelming force, and the militia scattered and fled!”

“Foolish! Huh?! Cavalry, where are they headed now?!”

As Barbato realized that an abnormal situation was occurring, he imagined where such a powerful cavalry would target next, sending a chill down his spine.

“……The five hundred cavalry of Ortenos are currently advancing towards our army at an unbelievable speed.”

“!”

Barbato saw the red magic rising in the distant southern sky and broke out in a cold sweat.

The time goes back a little, to the hill near Pekion Village.

I named this operation “Appointment Operation.”

The plan is to put off dealing with the 10,000 troops of the Naia Kingdom who took the intimidation gem, and instead, use the 500 cavalries to scatter the 10,000 troops at the foot of the hill during the free time, and finally deal with Barbato.

And now, the first phase of the operation was about to be completed.

“Here we go”

“Y-You monster, stop it!… B-buh!”

From horseback, I bludgeoned the last enemy Satera-class soldier with a pipe nearly twice my height.

Hit the enemy satellite Satera-class on the head, causing it to explode in a splatter, swing the pipe, and shake off the bl00d that has stuck to it.

The task I’ve been repeating over and over since earlier.

The remaining militia members all scattered and fled.

Objectively speaking, it is indescribable to see a twelve-year-old boy handling a Satellite Satera-class ship as if he were cracking a coconut, but even as a boy, he is still a noble.

I am reminded that I am a being to be feared in this world.

“……Phew, indeed, a cavalry charge is something extraordinary!”

Wiping the sweat from my forehead with a refreshing air as if it were a break from farm work, I spoke to Geraldo.

Since the annihilation of the 10,000 mainstay Satera-class satellites under the hill was completed, I temporarily lifted the “magic binding” placed on the military officers.

“Ugh! …Hah… Hah… No, the amount of enhancement from Minishiro-sama’s ‘Magic Wrapping’ is off the charts.”

When the “Demon Binding” was released, Geraldo’s face momentarily looked as if the flesh was sagging due to the intense G-forces of a thrilling ride.

“……Hey, are you really okay, Geraldo? Shouldn’t we tone down the output of ‘Mawataru’ a bit more?”

“Huff huff… no, that’s not necessary. Everyone is experiencing such a significant enhancement for the first time, so the downtime is intense. We need to get used to it like this.”

Looking back, perhaps due to the backlash of the “Demon Binding,” the warriors dismounted their horses, gasping for breath, and lay on the ground.

The sight of those who had been so rowdy just a moment ago, now gaunt and staring blankly at a spot on the ground, was just like a bunch of foolish university students who had gone overboard at a welcome party.
