Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

This screwed-up Commander-in-Chief is going to sleep. He is now sleeping soundly inside the wards I have set up for him.

Now that he has fallen asleep, the command of the Seyfund Imperial Army is taken over by his son, Sarma. Or rather, he is acting like a natural commander-in-chief.

Sarma's movements were swift. He sent a messenger to the troops who were stationed in the back mountains. At the same time, he acknowledged the letter to the emperor and gave it to the messenger. He ordered the soldiers to rest, but did not forget to order them to keep an eye on the movements in the castle of Khaza.

Holm went to Karza Castle in high spirits.

He chose one of the prisoners of war to accompany him and departed with some of his own men. I was impressed by the fact that he had chosen those who would accompany him by soliciting candidates from among the prisoners of war. The fact that they were willing to run for the position indicated that they were willing to persuade together with Mr. Holm. I was confident that the negotiations would be successful.

There is still time for Holm to return. What shall we do? I leave the place for the moment, thinking of going back to my residence in the capital. Sidhi took my hands in his as soon as no one else was around.

"Well done, Mr. Linos. The day you did what that man said, beheading the soldiers and laying them outside the castle ...... would have been the day of the great war that would have engulfed the whole world."

"What?　That much?"

"Yes. When that man told me to cut off the heads of the soldiers, I had a feeling that I was almost certain. There were battles going on all over the world, and Agartha and I were involved.

"Hey, hey, hey, ......."

"So far, Linos is the savior who has scooped up the whole world. That's what I'm talking about. That's wonderful."

Sidi's word "so far" bothers me. Is there a flag that will cause a world war in the future? I'm just lending my wisdom and not thinking too much into this matter. It seems that my disposition to take on trouble is still alive and well.

However, it's not good for me to prolong this battle. I want to settle this quickly and get back to my normal life. With these thoughts in my mind, I think about the future.

Once the enemy surrenders, we take them out of the castle and give them water. After they have rested for a while, I ask them to dig a big hole in front of the castle. The men of Seifand's army will join them. With about 40,000 men digging as hard as they can, they should be able to dig a very deep hole in a short time. They will have a hard time without pickaxes and shovels, but I can make them with my earth magic.

If we do well, we should be able to dig a pretty good hole by the time the sun goes down. Then we'll have a feast tonight. Seifand, NONO Elsmo, and all the other armies will have a drink together. Well, the commanders will have a lot to think about, so let's move them to another place. If we all have a drink or two, we will get to know each other better. And in the morning, both NONO and ELSMO will retreat. The wall I built will be a problem, but during the feast I can build a stairway up to the top of the wall. Then they can follow the mountain ridge back to the country, and the battle will be over.

"......Well, it won't work out that way."

He smiles as he mutters something like that.

"Oh, you guys!

Suddenly a woman's voice rings out. It's Julia. She's staring at us, arms folded.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean? ...... I was just thinking of somewhere to rest when I got the order to do so."

"Oh, yeah. Well, I know a great place. This way please."

She said this and strode off. I looked at Sadie and Escalina.

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"...... either way."

Neither of them seemed to have any reason to refuse. Well, maybe they can show us where to rest. I followed her, thinking that I don't like to be nervous in the presence of so many people whom I don't know.

"Come on, let's do it."

"Let's do it." "Do what?"

"Of course it is. It's magic practice."

"What?"

"You said... I'm going to teach you fire magic."

...... now?　I thought you were taking a break.　I look at Sidhi and the others. Their faces are hidden by their robes, but it seems that they are both confused.

Despite my confusion, she starts talking with a serious expression on her face.

"Magic can shorten your life if you don't use it correctly. You may be able to handle it on your own because you have a good sense, but if you continue that way for a long time, you may end up dying if you are not careful. So I thought I would tell you how to use magic properly."

......He thought of that for me. Shame on me for thinking it was annoying. I see, magic can shorten your life if you don't use it correctly. Master Falco never taught me that. I have used magic quite a bit in my life and I am still using it. I have come this far without thinking because of the almost unlimited use of M! My children are still small and I cannot die here. Let's just listen to what she has to say.

"May I?　First of all, breathing is the most important part of using magic.

"Breathe, sir?"

"Yes, you, what kind of breathing do you do when you do magic?"

"I'm not aware of anything."

"I knew it. ....... Okay?　Magic is all about breathing. Especially for fire mages. Then let me show you how to breathe, okay?"

She took a deep breath in and began to exhale in small gasps. She repeated this over and over again.

"When you breathe in like this, your stomach moves, doesn't it?　Chant while moving your stomach like this. That way, the magic power will be spread throughout your body, and it will be easier to perform the magic.

She points her palm to the sky while saying this.

"O Lord of Fire! Reveal to me your holy fire in my hand.

When she finished chanting, I heard a bowing sound from her palm, and then a big fire broke out. It was as if her hands were on fire, which was kind of cool.

"You seem to have good taste, I'm sure you can do this soon. Go ahead, give it a try."

"Um, ...... may I see that breath again?"

"Okay. Inhale slowly through your nose. The trick is to exhale in small increments. Repeat this and your whole body will warm up.

...... warm up?　Maybe that's just to make it easier to visualize?

"You know, ...... my teacher taught me to be aware of the blood flowing in my body. Blood has a heat. That's the magic. I was taught to visualize that heat turning into fire or water, but maybe that breathing is to make it easier to visualize the heat?"

"No, that's not true!"

My word against mine. Julia's face is scary .......

"Imagine blood?　Don't be silly. Sure, blood is warm, but turning it into flames?　How is that possible? ......"

Suddenly, a flame burst into the palm of her right hand.

"What?　Lies ...... without chanting ......"

Julia rolls her eyes in surprise. Master Falco's teachings were right after all!　I knew you were great, Master!　Thank you, Master!

I thanked him politely in my mind. Julia extinguished the flame and turned her face in the wrong direction, muttering in a low voice

"That's an unusual way of doing things. Well, well, maybe this way is also good. ......"

You're really upset. ......
