Chapter 9. Confined for One Week
Gyael frowned.
“If we bombard that area now, there is a chance that our own troops will be caught in it—”
“At most, it would mean one of our soldiers dying for every fifty enemies killed. And that is only if the bombardment misses its mark.”
Gyael checked the ground once more.
Just as Zeppelin had said, judging solely by the current ratio of ground forces, the enemy appeared to outnumber them by at least five to one.

“That may be true, but…”
“If this continues, our infantry will be wiped out regardless. In that case, is it not our duty to make their deaths at least somewhat meaningful?”

Gyael shook his head.
“In theory, your words are correct. However, there are still problems. For our troops, dying while fighting the enemy is an honorable and glorious death. But dying from friendly fire is a severe blow to morale—”
“Is that honor more important than the outcome of the war?”
“That is…”

He could not give a definite answer.
Watching Gyael hesitate, Zeppelin asked,
“What did the Supreme Commander say?”
“Pardon?”

“Whose orders were you told to follow on the battlefield?”
“…Lieutenant Colonel Zeppelin’s.”

“Then what is it that you must do?”
“…Follow orders.”
“Then it is decided. Commence the bombardment. I will take full responsibility for any consequences.”
Gyael nodded.
He then issued the targeting order to the troops.
“Target: enemy infantry units. Authorized magic: explosive and impact magic, followed by fire magic.”

“Understood.”
“Prepare for bombardment.”
Before the bombardment unit’s eyes, magic circles were inscribed in overlapping layers.
They were a field-of-view expansion artifact, a field-of-view expansion spell, and a perception enhancement spell.
When perception was enhanced, one could more easily predict the direction in which magical projectiles would travel.
Simply put, it increased accuracy.

HUMMMMM.
Moments later, the sniper rifles began to glow blue, and dozens of magic circles formed in front of their muzzles.

Zeppelin extended his hand and made a sweeping motion.
Friendly combat aerial troopers surrounded the bombardment aerial troopers in a wide ring.
Bombardment troopers were vulnerable to external attacks while preparing to fire, so combat aerial troopers had to protect them.
Then—

“Begin bombardment.”
BOOM BOOM BANG!

“Charge! Charge! Do not fall back! If you fall back, you die!”

“Charge—urk!”
The platoon leader issuing orders had his chest cleaved open by an enemy axe.
Wẽbnо̌ vе̂ l̊ Е̌ n um̆ a
His body collapsed limply to the ground.
There was no one left to issue orders to the platoon.
Under normal circumstances, someone else would have stepped up to relay commands, but now there was no need.
“Charge!”
“Do not retreat! Fight! Even if you die, die facing forward! Do not show your backs!”
“For the Allied Forces!”

Charging orders rang out from all sides.
No matter which unit one looked at, the task was the same.
Swing their weapons at the enemy infantry rushing toward them.
Whether they charged earlier or later was the only difference. Once a unit heard the order to charge, none of them rested.
“Angle thirty-five degrees, forward one thousand three hundred meters. Artillery unit, load!”
“Loooooad!”

The artillery unit’s mages stretched their hands toward the sky.
Magic circles formed before their palms.

Most of the mages assigned to the artillery unit were between first- and second-rank proficient.
They were not particularly high-level.
As a result, the artillery unit required about one minute of casting time before firing.
The officer commanding the artillery unit checked the condition of the mages.

Tensed thighs, arms extended straight, and cleanly formed magic circles.
The commander nodded and released his mana.
“Fire!”
“Fire!”

A loud POP echoed as magic discharged from the mages’ hands.
The projectiles flew in long parabolic arcs at roughly a thirty-five-degree angle.

Their colors varied—red, black, blue, and more.
BANG! CRACK!
“Kraaaagh.”
After tracing long arcs, the projectiles flew past the area where allies and enemies were intermingled and exploded within the enemy formation.
Several charging enemy soldiers were rendered combat-ineffective.
“Second team, prepare to fire.”

“Preparing to fire.”
“Load for bombardment!”
“Loading!”
The officer waited for the loading to finish.
Then, after about one minute had passed.
Just as he was about to shout the command to fire.

Magic of an entirely different scale from the artillery unit’s spells erupted roughly nine hundred meters ahead.
Nine hundred meters forward.
Right where allies and enemies were mixed together.

“What is that?”
Duke Agenka, who was commanding friendly forces while blocking the enemy’s rear contingents, tilted his head in confusion.
Judging by the area struck, it did not seem like an accidental discharge.
He used a field-of-view expansion spell and looked up at the sky.

“…Our troops?”
A white pegasus emblazoned on their armor.

They were unmistakably friendly aerial troopers.
“…Those lunatics.”
Duke Agenka muttered a string of curses under his breath.
The direction of the friendly bombardment troopers’ muzzles was wrong.
The infantry who had been charging looked up at the sky, wondering what was happening.
Then, as another wave of bombardment poured down, they instinctively threw themselves flat onto the ground.

An officer beside him asked urgently,
“The bombardment troopers in the air—are they not our own?”
Duke Agenka nodded.
The officer’s eyes trembled.
“Then why…?”
“…”
