Hero Manufacturing Machine - Intermission - Subjugation of Orcs - Chapter 8

The leader chanted a spell. In that moment, a flame appeared. The size itself was impressive, but its properties were nothing special. Just an ordinary flame.

*Swish*

I cut it to pieces with my Formless Slash. Then, the youngest magic swordsman appeared from behind the flames I had cut through. The flames from before were just a smokescreen.

He immediately used magic to create a wind blade. He said suggestive things to draw attention to himself and left the main attack to his companions. I see. As expected of someone who had worked his way up through the ranks, he was used to fighting.

It’s a tactic that our stubborn knights of Braidea, who believe in fairness, would fall for splendidly.

If it were the other way around, they'd probably say, "Shouldn't you be the one attacking after attracting all that attention?" but I don't care.

If you're speaking the same language as someone you can communicate with, it's only natural to try to confuse them through conversation. It's not cowardly or anything. It's the other person's fault for being fooled so easily. The art of war is a matter of deception, after all. It's all about deceiving the enemy. I counteract the wind blade with "Flying Izuna" and hit him with several more wind blades. "Huh?!" He looks shocked that multiple wind blades were produced without chanting. That's only natural, as not many people, even among the ranks of samurai, have mastered "Flying Izuna". And on top of that, I produced multiple blades.

According to the common sense of this country, it's probably unbelievable that someone can produce wind blades without magic. That's not surprising, as in my opinion, samurai are people with special abilities who can use katanas as if they were magic. However. "Damn it!" Even though he's a boy, he's still a magic swordsman after all. It seems he's not an easy opponent to take down with just that. He skillfully uses the Mangosh to parry all of the wind blades I produced. But I had expected him to do something like that.

I knocked the Mangosh down with a slash and took the opportunity to close the distance further and strike him with the hilt of my sword. In an instant, the doll broke into pieces. "Two people,"

I muttered as I took down yet another target.
