The unit from the Swordsmanship Guidance Hall effortlessly annihilated the enemy’s main force, which was believed to be a large military corps. Even though they were allies, the terrifying combat power left them speechless.

“As expected, if you measure by sheer combat power, the Swordsmanship Guidance Hall’s unit is a cut above the Unrivaled Iron Cavalry.”

“Such strength wasn’t seen even in the ancient civilization era. Perhaps, the current one might have power comparable to that of the heroes.”

Rafishal, who had been observing the battlefield, probably out of boredom or as research material, gave his thoughts.

“If they fought seriously, who do you think would win, Yuta or the Sword Saint?”

“That’s a tough one. However, right now, it would likely be the Sword Saint due to the experience difference. Yuta still hasn’t fully tapped into the capabilities of Arleo II.”

“Is it still not enough?”

“With 100% of Arleo II’s potential, no one would be able to defeat him. The difference in dimension is that vast.”

“After hearing that, I’m a little scared. So, there’s someone strong enough that Yuta can’t win against them right now?”

“At least, it might still be difficult for him to defeat the heroes. Also…”

“What? Is there someone else beyond the heroes who can surpass Yuta?”

“It’s not about a specific person, but rather a technique. There’s a demonic wisdom that forces humans to transcend their limits.”

“Oh? If something like that exists, we should implement it into the Unrivaled Iron Cavalry.”

“Though it would require many sacrifices. Is that acceptable?”

“I see. So, it’s a power that’s too great for people.”

“That’s a power that should never be used…”

Rafishal seems to have a basic sense of morality, as he would never seek power at the cost of others’ lives. However, if an evil figure who thought nothing of human sacrifice were to acquire such technology… that thought alone is terrifying.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, the operator reported a change on the battlefield.

“Jean! Another enemy army has appeared from the west! It’s believed to be reinforcements from the Raddle Axis Alliance. Their scale appears to be that of a division!”

“Enemy sighted here too! A few divisions are emerging from the southwest! The enemy is already in battle formation!”

“Moreover, the enemy forces are increasing! It’s… an astonishing number! It looks like several army corps are involved!”

There’s no way that such a large force could appear suddenly as reinforcements. It must have been prepared in advance… Could the information have leaked!?

Even just from what can be confirmed, there are a considerable number of enemy units, and even more unsettling information follows.

“A large movement from the Elysian Empire is reported in the northwest. They are likely heading in this direction.”

“This is not the time to stand out and be targeted. It’s highly likely that we’ve fallen into some kind of trap…”

It’s hard to believe that the Elysian Empire and the Raddle Axis Alliance are working together. The timing of these movements seems too perfect to be a coincidence.

“This is bad! It seems that a significant number of enemies are also heading toward Yuta’s group! What should we do? Do you want to send reinforcements?”

“Tch, the fact that they’re making moves there means that our plans have completely leaked. Sending reinforcements in this situation would be difficult. If it’s just a minor problem, Yuta and Fistina should be fine…”

Yuta’s group also has Mayu. Rafishal mentioned that Arvion’s combat power can cover the strength of an entire division, and with Arleo II and Arvion, they should be able to handle it somehow…
