E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 97 - Two Sides
“Pagi...” Said Leo who entered Roselia's study with a relaxed attitude as usual.
Behind her, there was a figure of Selene carrying several books in both hands.
“Pagi. Ah, Selene. What book did you bring?” Roselia asked curiously. Even though he himself was busy writing something while still glued to his microscope.
“Material and its effect on the strength and flow of Mana.” Reply Selene with a faint smile.
Roselia appears to give a brief glance before returning to her job.
“That's it? You can use the air as usual. Although its strength would decrease by about 80% or so. Besides, you also won't be able to pour mercury in the middle of a fierce fight.” Reply Roselia with an attitude that looks a little indifferent.
“It was true but...”.
Meanwhile, Leo himself is seen soon back at his workplace.
Several weeks had passed since the magician's departure from this academy. Even so, they have not returned. Leaving this academy in a fairly desolate condition.
“Today you want to learn what?” Ask Roselia to Leo.
“Rune. I still need to understand in some parts.”
“Can I see?” Reply Roselia who immediately stood up from her chair. The two seem to discuss the meaning and application of runes in different solid.
Selene focuses on studying at her desk.
Both of them had actually completed all the lessons needed to graduate in this academy. A lesson that generally requires at least 2 years or more.
And under Roselia's guidance, the two managed to learn everything in about 4 months. Both are not planning to graduate.
Leo himself still needs this academy to learn many other things. Same with Selene.
“Aaah, Rune repetition huh? Then you can use this letter in the middle of the end, then connect it to the beginning of the sentence. Use this sign to connect the two.” Clearly Roselia while pointing at the magic weapon made by Leo.
“Just like that?”
“In such an way. But I didn't suggest it because it would cost Mana.” so much Reply Roselia.
Leo seemed to think for a moment about Roselia's suggestion. But before he said anything, Roselia had returned to speaking.
“Although, I don't understand why you made this magic weapon. Looking at the manufacturing process is too complicated. Not to mention settings and also adjustments for users.”
“I made it for myself. You know I'm not that strong, right?”
Roselia looks silent for a moment to look at Leo. He slightly raised one of his eyebrows as if hesitating over what Leo said. But after a while....
“Well, it's not a problem for me either. By the way, I'm starting to find something interesting. Come to my table later if you are free.” Reply Roselia with a big smile before returning to her desk.
Both of their lives continued. Without knowing what is going on at the forefront of humanity.

...- Eastfort - Eastfort
...
On the other hand, precisely in the Eastfort fortress, the situation was 180 degrees different compared to the peace that existed in other regions.
“Fast shoot the arrows!”
“It's over! Why hasn't anyone brought a new arrow yet?!”
“You asked me!”
“Quick do something! Front row starting to collapse!”
Tens of thousands of Devils from different races, all of them trying their hardest to break through the defenses of the ranks of soldiers that were outside the walls.
The reason they had to fight outside the walls was simple. It was because they had to protect the strongest attacking squad that was currently on top of the wall.
They were the witches from Enfartice. A special academy educates all its students of assault-type magic.
‘Blaaaarrrrr!!!’
Dozens of fireballs were thrown from the walls by the witches. And everything exploded when it hit the line of the Devils.
The result of the explosion made bursts of blood and flesh in all directions. Fouled the battlefield that from the beginning had indeed been filled with that blood.
On the other hand, precisely on the inside of the wall, hundreds of magicians from the Aselica academy were seen continuously using their healing and protective magic endlessly.
Trying to reduce the injuries suffered by the soldiers in the front row.
Although the comparison of the number of troops between humanity and the devil was 1 in 4, Eastfort was still able to survive by utilizing a fairly narrow terrain.
That makes the number meaningless. Although....
‘Braaaaakkk!!!’
One of the Ogres with a height of 2.4 meters hit the ground with a stone bat. He threw 5 soldiers at once.
It is this difference in strength and physicality that makes humanity today in a state of crisis, despite being filled with terrain advantages and defensive positions.
Inside the fort....
“Nona Feris's. If it continues like this, we won't last until 3 days.” Said Duke Theodore sitting in front of the large box table.
On the other hand, Feris just bit his finger. Cannot say much.
“I heard they were only 80,000, but I didn't expect them to walk while gathering troops along the way. Even reached 120,000 at the moment...” Feris said irritatedly as he continued to bite his finger.
“I'm sorry about that..” Alex was one of the first people to report on the attack.
Hearing Alex's words, Feris only glanced at him for a moment before replying.
“I don't blame you. But I blame the 2 dukes who haven't also sent out their troops. What are the regions of Mulderberg and Maelfall doing in the midst of this crisis?” Asked Feris in an annoyed tone.
How not, even if it was too late, their troops should still come here.
Even Feris and all the higher-ups in the Eastfort region had received a letter from the two dukes stating that they would send at least 10,000 troops.
But this all seems to never happen.
From the various information they obtained, the two regions never sent any troops.
“Just relax, Miss Feris. The Rustfell region had dispatched enough troops to withstand this attack. If less, we can still send new.” Said a man with a fairly high body and a charming appearance.
He was none other than the Duke of Rustfell County. Which controls the whole City and also the Rural in it.
“Thanks for the cooperation, Mr. Achibald. We really appreciate it.” Reply Feris briefly.
“It is an honor to receive a thank you from you, Miss Feris.”
After a little complaint from Feris, a meeting to discuss the emergency situation in the Eastfort fortress was held.
A meeting to determine the next strategy that can be used to weaken their opponents as much as possible. Least....
Until other help arrives.
Even so, Leo and most of the rest of the population did not know much about this. It was because Feris was trying to hold back this information until they had indeed obtained victory.
Making a story that seemed heroic so that it attracted many people to join the royal army.
