Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Well, the wall is this high. It's going to hold a lot of water.

I mutter to no one in particular. I've built something extraordinary.

"Water is leaking from the ground.

Escalina's voice brings me back to myself. That's a big deal. If left unchecked, the water pressure will collapse this wall. But we have no idea where the water is leaking from.

"Wait a minute."

He concentrates his magical power on his fingertips and produces a flame. The flames are quite hot because of the magic power concentrated in the fingertips. He drops it into the river at his feet. In an instant, the surrounding water evaporates.

"Uh?"

As I wandered around the wall, I saw a part of the wall where water was seeping out slowly. Here. I use my earth magic to strengthen the alchemy. After a while, the water stopped seeping out.

"Okay, let's go home!

I sit up and look back, the river is still flowing in a line in front of me. The sooner we end this battle, the better off we will be without this water. I climbed onto Ilimo, put Sidhi on my back, and flew up into the sky. Naturally, Escalina followed me as well. I ask Ilimo to fly about two meters above the ground.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to vaporize you.

Saying this, I concentrate the magic power at my fingertips and create a fireball. Then I throw it into the river below. The river dries up in an instant. Repeating this process, I continue toward the Karza Castle.

"Wow, it's cold!

Suddenly, a voice rises from behind us. Suddenly, there is a voice behind me. I see Escalina sitting on Siddee's back.

"...... don't like it hot."

I guess my fireball was too hot. Well, so be it. It evaporates water in an instant. Since Escalina was so hot, I thought that Ilimo must have been hot too, but to my surprise she was not hot at all. I wonder if she is sensitive to heat because she has a contract with a water spirit. I wonder if she is sensitive to heat since she has a contract with a water spirit, and I wonder if she would not be able to survive in summer in Japan, especially in Kyoto in summer. No, Kyoto has clean water, so she might be able to survive, she thought, when she saw a light far away. It was the castle of Khazan.

"Now, let's get fired up and hit the fireball again and again!

Pointing his index finger at the ground, he emits a series of extremely small compressed fireballs. No noticeable movement is seen from the Karza Castle. As we continued onward with the castle on our right, we heard a voice that sounded like a woman's scream coming from the darkness.

"Hey!　What the~?"

...... Is that you, Julia? Isn't this place not so different from where you were standing just now?　Don't tell me you've been standing in that spot the whole time?

...... I feel people. One person. He's running toward us. Of course, I can't catch up to Ilimo's wing, but this is probably, almost certainly, Julia. She must have broken the warding and is following us. What a hassle.

"Oh, this is it."

He had a light out to illuminate my feet. Julia must have seen this light and followed me. This is my fault.

"All right, I think we're this close," I said.

I say this and tell Ilimo to turn back. She gains altitude, turns around and goes back the way she came. On the way, we pass a sign. I could not make out his face in the pitch blackness, but he will probably make it to his army safely. Perhaps the fireball that I had just used had worked, but all signs of the demons had vanished. They must be standing still in the forest. Now is a very safe time for us.

"Well, I'd better go home, take a bath, and go to bed. Thank you for your hard work, Escalina.

At my words, Escalina slowly bowed her head. We rode in the transfer wards and returned to the residence in the capital.

"Well, you're late. Welcome home.

When I opened the door of the house, Rico was waiting for me. I was honestly glad that she was waiting for me.

I had been boiling the bath, but it was getting cold. Let's reheat it now.

"Oh, no, thanks. I'll do it myself. Rico, get some rest."

Yes, sir. I'll take your word for it. Thank you, Sadie. Please take a bath together and relax.

"Yes, thank you."

With that Rico left the dining room with a smile on his face.

"Well, let's take a bath and go to bed."

"Yes, I guess so. I'm so tired today. I didn't do anything.

"No, I don't think so."

I can't wait to go get some water.

"Yeah, I guess so. When you get settled.

We headed for the bathroom, talking like that.

I was so excited to see him.

Funai, the commander-in-chief of the NONO army, was in a deep sleep.

Yesterday had been a great day. We broke through the gates of the Castle of Khaza and took it in an instant. The enemy had retreated in fear of Elsmo's reinforcements and could not raise their heads, but it did not matter. It was the moment when the long-cherished dream of the Kingdom of NONO was achieved.

In the several hundred years of the history of the Kingdom of Nohno, no commander has ever managed to invade its arch enemy, the Seifand Empire. The satisfaction of having made a mark in the history of the kingdom fueled the drinks at the feast held in the castle.

It was good wine, very good wine indeed. If anything, it was not a very expensive drink, and looking outside, it was just a stony river, a precipitous wall, and a river ......, a near inorganic landscape, so to speak, but the drink we drank last night turned it into a superb taste, and the inorganic landscape turned into a million dollar view. .

His Imperial Highness Nomasa of El Salvador seemed very satisfied. He praised me as one of the greatest generals of all time. I am sure that His Majesty the King will praise me as well. My future as a military man is as good as guaranteed. .......

He was sleeping with such a feeling of satisfaction when he heard a noisy noise in his ears.

"...... sir. ......Mr. Commander. ...... Commander-in-Chief!"

He opens his eyes, his face contorted because his sleep has been disturbed. His head throbs. I drank too much last night. But that can't be helped. Thinking of this, he looks around him.

Tau, his second-in-command, is standing by the bed, breathing on his shoulder. His face is drawn.

"What is it, what's wrong?"

He sits up, as if to say, "This is too much trouble. Tau continued to speak, as if he had been waiting for this.

"Outside ...... is in trouble!

"Outside?

"Anyway, to the balcony!　His Highness Nomasa is on his way!

I didn't know what the hell was going on. In my mind, I wondered if the Seifang army, which had retreated from the castle, had laid siege to it. It is true that there are 5,000 soldiers in this castle, but there are another 20,000 troops stationed in the mountains behind this castle, and they are in a full defensive position.

With these thoughts in mind, I get up from my bed. The headache continues as usual. He quickly puts on his uniform and leaves the room. Tau runs to him, urging him to come quickly. Hunai follows behind him, enduring the constant headaches.

The sun is just about to rise when they reach the balcony. The birds' high-pitched voices are bothersome. He looks up and sees a group of Elsmo's army. In the center of the group was the figure of Nomasa.

"No, Your Highness. Last night ......"

After saying that much, Funai was absolutely mortified. Nomasa's expression had changed from his usual soft one to a reticent one.

He looks out over the balcony in silence. Funai also turned his eyes to the balcony.

There was a landscape full of stones.
