The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

"Sailuke, get up in the air, please!"

Sailuke squeaks and spreads his wings above Hippopo's head as he continues to run.

As soon as its skin flaps in the wind, the sailoak tilts itself to the side and falls, disappearing from my sight for a moment.

The sail-oak immediately turns to ascend, passing by us and soaring into the sky.

I can see the enemy.

The march is steady. Is the command alive? This could be trouble. Even if they are being controlled, are they not like monsters?

In the foreground are obviously soldiers of the military of their own country.

Infantrymen with magic guns seem to be in the lead. A group of cavalrymen, who have been transformed into cavalrymen from smiths, can also be seen.

The cavalry is a type of oxen. ....... The force with which they charge is not to be underestimated. What? Huh?

"Loa, do you see that? I think a lot of the equipment is missing."

"Yeah. A lot. There's something growing there," said Lois.

"Is that a black mushroom? Could it be the same mole-mod that attacked us before?"

"Yes, it looks like it. Master Rust. It seems that he is being controlled by the mushrooms," Ary tells us as he activates his future vision.

"I see. The mushrooms are too big to fit through the metal armor. That may be good news.

"The enemy alchemists have mushrooms under their robes," said Roa this time.

It seems that he was using his clairvoyant's magical eye to confirm that his opponent was well equipped.

"Thank you, Roa. Okay, we've decided on a plan. We'll continue our assault on the surface of the enemy's left flank. We're going to break away."

I immediately instruct everyone to try what they have come up with.

I rummage through my backpack and get ready.

The enemy is close at hand. Hippopo changes course. Just as I had hoped.

That's when it happens.

The order to the enemy infantry echoes through the wilderness.

A volley of fire.

Countless magic bullets closing in.

It was a multicolored attack. Attributed attacks to kill people.

We now know that they are trying to kill us from the very beginning.

I deploy the scrolls I have prepared and activate them. I deploy and activate the scrolls that have already been de-limited.

"Fixed magic bullet, spatial coordinates, activate immediately!"

Scroll deployed. A large magic circle appears in front of us from the scroll.

Enemy bullets that touch the magic circle stop as if frozen in place.

All the magic bullets that are approaching us.

Hippopo moves alongside the enemy's left wing.

You can almost reach out and touch the enemy, just for a split second.

At that moment, I throw my prepared items at the enemy's infantry.

Aiming at the exposed parts of the enemy's body without any equipment.

I threw a potion. The same potion that had once lifted the curse of Taura.

The potion poured down on the enemy infantry.
