Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System - Chapter 305: War Rages

"Watch your heads! We got incoming!" The war had already started. I still do not know who was the one who started this whole thing, but when I find them, I will definitely kill them.

There are three things that I have realized about this current battle. First is that barriers are basically useless against the enemy's strange weapons. Second, they have a group of mages who are creating mutli layered barriers around the weapons, which is keeping long ranged attacks from hitting the weapons. Third is that we can stop the attacks from the weapons if we use fire magic on them and blow up whatever is benign shot at us before it reaches us. I have a squad of fire mages whose only duty is to stop any of those new weapons from harming our people.

But besides these few things, I still have not determined what they are using for ammo or if it is some kind of mana infused cannon. It could be anything at this rate. We currently can't get close enough to do anything. I really want to move forward myself, but I have to command this army. They are all counting on me to give them proper directions.

"Another volley! Barriers up!" I yelled out. "Melee, focus on monsters and foot soldiers! Mages, keep barriers up and ignore the enemy mages! Just keep the spinning barriers up that I taught you all!" One good thing about this army is that our mages are very capable. I only taught two people how to do the spinning barrier that I created, and each one of them is now able to cast it, and it is all we need to protect our people. In other words, we can ignore the enemy mages' attacks making our advancement easier.

We have only gained a few miles of ground, but that is still a few miles when we are already this outnumbered. I have not been slacking, either. I have about one hundred grand falls smashing into the barriers they are keeping up around the strange weapons. If things work out, I will be able to keep their barrier mages busy long enough to wipe out the rest of their army. Because along with the grand falls, I have a barrage of fireballs and gates of faithylon raining down on the enemy as well.

One thing I am happy about is that I do not see anyone with lines on their faces. But I have made sure of one thing. Both Adel and Sophie are at my side. If I am correct, according to my dreams, this is the war that Sophie….

"Faith, are you going to be okay? You are using a lot of magic, and on top of that, you have tethered the entire army supplying them with your mana." Sally asked. Sally, Sei, and Grace were on defensive duty to protect Adel and me. This was not my choice but theirs. They refused to listen to any orders besides protecting us.

"Mana is the last thing I need to worry about running out of. Just pay attention to any stray attacks coming our way. Grace, you keep everyone healed. You can spam your aoe heals as much as you wish." I gave out orders to Sally and Grace while Sei looked at me expectantly. I grinned and whispered: "You could always use that special skill of yours to you know…. Entice the entire ...."

"No! Not happening!" Sei blushed and quickly shook her head back and forth, causing me to chuckle.

I shrugged and continued monitoring the situation. I had multiple water screens hovering in front of me, and one of them caught my eye, causing me to frown. "Steven's side is being overrun by high level monsters. Those monsters are not from our world either." I bit my lip as I watched Steven fighting with everything he had. He was cutting them down with no issue, but the others were just normal humans and demi humans so they were having trouble holding their ground.

"Squad 132, form five man cells to fight the monsters. Do not fight them one on one. Those are dungeon monsters that they must have dragged out of whatever dungeon they entered, so they will be a bit stronger than normal monsters, but they will go down easy if you work together." I relayed my message through the slimes that were spread out over the battlefield. By using them as a speaker in a way, I am able to relay orders without issue. This was a result of Mr. Blob's evolving after he ate quite a few of the enemy monsters. It was quite the nice timing, too, since it made things much easier than using our normal connection.

"Squad 345, you are moving too far forward! Keep a steady line. Take cover, do not fight directly unless you have to. The days of running down the line are over. Fight smart and not stupid. Rushing in will only get you killed." I gave out this order before looking out over the battlefield once more. I took a deep breath and looked at the girls. "I am sending you all to the back line. I need to try to end this quickly. While giving orders is easy to do, we can not allow our enemy to gain an understanding of our tactics."

"We want to rush into the enemy line and leave us here doing nothing!?" Adel shouted at me, but what can I say? I would do more good right now on the front line than sitting in the back.

"Adel, I know you want to fight beside me, but right now, we can not do that. Sophie as well. I need you two girls to just behave for me and stay put and protect Grace. She is what is keeping our forces alive!" My words seemed to have made them reluctant, but they still nodded their heads without saying anything. "Then please protect Grace. I am moving out. Keep an eye on the mirages. If you see anything strange, contact me through the slime. You girls are my ears and eyes on the battlefield while I am fighting."

"You can leave it to us!" Adel replied with a salute. I could see that she was still mad, but unfortunately, I could not allow her to move any further on the battlefield.
