89. Ragganite Castle Fortress Defense Battle 12 - The Truth Is Far Away

"Father, it seems the enemy dragons will gather."

"Hmm, silly thing. Apparently, with the Red Dragon hit, he's going to consolidate his defense."

"Thanks to you, we can focus on this one. I'm going out, too."

Rowville nods forcefully at Salute's words.

"Um, enemies are big figurines, so the attack seems like a big mess. Fighting in the city is in your favor. Be nice."

"Ha!"

Replying forcefully, Salute rides and leads the troops out.

The goal is a battlefield where the dragons gather.

"Don't die, my son."

Rowville dropped off Salute's back, distant in a prayerful mood.

and one of my men rushes in there.

It was one of the scouts unleashed by Rowville.

He is usually a calm and settled man, but this time he doesn't even try to hide his hasty expression.

Kneel (kneel first) when you come to Rowville.

"Welcome. What's the matter, panic like that? Not even your lord."

The scourge, called a welcome in his words, bowed his head, saying 'yes'.

"I'm sorry, Duke. But as soon as we get your report back,"

Rowville, who had a bad feeling about the word, urges him to "say it quickly, but be good".

"Yes, we found several” Imperial Soldiers ”on the high ground near the lower Lola River. fragmented, but we also listen to the conversation."

"Oh, my God! Probably not an imperial reconnaissance force... You're observing the evolution of this battle."

As Rowville quickly observed, the scourge nodded.

"I thought you were right. There was also an Imperial crest (emblem) on the armor, no doubt about it."

and continue.

As Rowville sees it, the next battle was a struggle, but it was first and foremost a robust one.

Indeed, the strategy of the Ragganite Castle Fortress has not yet been completed. There have been reports of several monsters with mouths appearing at the castle gate, and he also heard that there were enough archers in the enemy to rival Major General Gralip.

On top of that, this one shows up here with five dragons, and the battle with the standby soldiers is starting.

Let's just say I totally anticipated these developments and I'd be lying.

But on the other hand, we knew from the beginning that the Ragganite Castle Fortress was strong in defense.

Whatever the case may be, it is the base of the western township where we have kept the peace of the kingdom for decades.

It would have been more of a problem if it had been so easy to fall.

That's why Rowville has already hit several hands.

A positive attack is a corrugated attack on the castle gate.

I was told the Homuncles had only about a thousand troops.

The dimension is that if the self-armies with 10,000 troops continue to attack in shifts, the fatigue of the opponent cannot be avoided.

We have also confirmed that ranged attacks are effective while hiding in the city's buildings, even against the dragons that have suddenly appeared.

I've already beaten the Red Dragon to the evidence.

We also mobilized most of the synthetic beasts (chimeras) who were making us protect ourselves as ambush operations.

It is a thoughtful operation of throwing away defenses.

The plan is to let humans break into the castle in ways that are absolutely impossible, which is why it is not first possible for the other person to notice.

It would also be impossible to eliminate synthetic beasts (chimeras) once they entered the castle, even if they noticed.

Sooner or later, you should eat your body from the inside out.

And as a wife, there's actually a trick at the castle gate.

I can't use it because it's noticeable in the rising sun, but I plan to move the trick in the shade of the night.

In any case, it is a calculation that will be settled in the short term.

That's why...

"Hmm, so what's the conversation about? Is there anything I can do to get reinforcements out of here right away?

Yes, only reinforcements from the Empire were a source of concern.

But scouts shake their heads sideways.

"No, here's what they said." Most of the personnel had been taken by the Fort Cebu Parales offensive, and it was full of letting the local food stuffs head to Mount Akelaka. He continued to manage to request reinforcements, but immediately said it was difficult ', "he said.

Rowville hits the knee at the words.

"Again? I was wondering how you deployed soldiers to Mount Akelaka, but I see they were local mercenaries. Then I can snort that I was familiar with the mountain. Well, it looks like it was full because it collected 1,000 mercenaries."

Yes, and scolding snorts too.

"It was good until we succeeded in manipulating the Homuncles and subjugating the castle, but it doesn't look like we can afford reinforcements to support it. If we settle early, we won't have to worry about the Imperial Army intervening."

Hmm, and Rowville puts his hand on his chin.

"Conversely, if the battle prolongs, the hand of the Empire will come. Fort Cebu Parales will hold most of our enemies back, but he will be a mercenary, and he will join hands with the nobles of the West, because there is a way."

Then, and Rowville laughs niggly.

"I'm not going, Bakira Emperor. Let us settle this battle early. Tonight."

When he said that, he instructed the scouts to continue to monitor the Imperial soldiers.

Without even realizing that all that information was an illusion shown by Tamamo's gift.
