A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 176: Meeting before the war.
In front of the castle gate... many soldiers rush to and from.
In the meantime, three commanders and Takeo and Alice were sipping tea in a soldier's jar and discussing the perimeter map.
"Hmm... the war situation is going to change depending on how accurate Takeo's small gun will hit.
Harold says with a sigh.
"It still is, isn't it?
In the latest report, Auga is leading the way... right?
I shoot for the big one... but it's subtle to hit it.
Even 100m has one shot every two shots, so...
Think of it as not reducing the number too much.
Soldier Commander, you can have your sword stabbed so that about 150 meters from the double-wing magician platoon overlaps the center of the castle gate, right?
"The work is done, isn't it?
It's about 50m from the center.
The soldier leader answers Takeo's question.
"... so around the area where the goblins passed the forest, Master Takeo started shelling from the position of that sword and started retreating with me when the distance to the goblin was about 200m. You shoot in as you walk behind you, and when your opponent reaches the sword, the magician platoon starts shelling... right?
That's what Alice adds.
"Right. Later, we gradually close our wings and go to the annihilation war... in the tactics on the desk..."
"Is Master Kitamizato anxious?
"Yeah. It's when they run out...
"I see."
"Given my escape legs... you may not be able to shell while retreating.
Takeo laughs bitterly.
"I'll leave the timing for Harold and his deputy to start closing.
"Oh, when I see the tail of them, I start closing.
I left the most damaging end to the Knights.
He's got a lot of defense.
"It's the longest travel distance, isn't it?
"Hey, it's just about 300 meters. My guys are fine.
"Okay.
I'm assuming it closes parallel, as explained earlier.
If the edge closes faster than in the middle, move straight to siege.
Cuddly enough to close the bag.
"If you can bring that much in, you'll see a win.
"You can't rush it, can you?
"I know.
There is no assault this time. Then I'm strict about tightening it up for sure, but I honestly don't know.
"... is the war water or..."
"Hmm? What is that?
"Hmm? It's the words of an old great man where I was.
That's an analogy that says it's easy to change and hard to predict depending on the conditions then.
You see, the water will change the flow quickly depending on the inclination, right?
I can also take that to mean telling you not to let go because you don't know what's there until you're done with it.
"That's a good analogy.
Harold nods.
"Is it time to go?
Everyone took their seats in the words of the soldier chief.
------------------------
Several people were waiting for the battle to begin over the castle gate.
At this point, 2 barrels have been consumed.
"Mm-hmm... it doesn't start yet. Right.
... you're going to get drunk before it starts.
"Your Majesty... the pace is too fast.
Grandpa Elvis says worried about King Azpearl's drinking.
"Phew, I don't have a guide today, so you can drink all you want.
King Azpar says looking in a good mood.
"Oh, if you're my father-in-law.
If the attending finds out, he'll be pissed, won't he?
"Absolutely, Father.
"Mm, my son and his wife are loud.
I enjoy drinking with the people.
It's something you can't do in Wang Du.
"Ha... Count, is it good?
My uncle from the green fruit shop asks me confused.
"Well... if you say you're good in person, isn't that good?
"Huh... you're the same.
Taylor says in a sigh.
"Oh, yeah, there was Taylor.
I don't want to see that in a long time.
King Azpar says with excitement.
"Your Majesty... Aren't you supposed to be allowed to use it only in Royal Castle?
"Heh heh, the royal castle is where I am.
I don't care. And if everyone here doesn't talk out of their mouth, we're gonna have a problem, right?
"My father-in-law, who is that?
Leila, who was listening to the exchange between Taylor and King Azpar, asks.
"Huh, I'm awesome!
Did you mention Taylor's background?
"Yeah, you're a royal magician's apprentice, aren't you?
"Mm-hmm. He's the head of the former Royal Mage Candidate for the Dimension in the Dimension seat.
"... that? How many Taylor storekeepers are you?
"It will be 28.
"" Young!
William and Layla are amazed.
"I was 25 years old at the time or... it's too early for years to pass.
And yes, you're a young candidate for the next royal magician?
They kicked the old people in line.
Knowledge is natural, but this guy is a little special.
"You let me climb to my next seat on my own.
Taylor narrows his eyes and says stupidity.
"Hmm, I don't know, do I?
Grandpa recommended the Lord as the next royal magician.
"Really, my master.
"That's why I'm here.
"Really... is it a good thing or a bad thing at all..."
Taylor sighs.
"So, what is it with you?
Layla cuts the paralysis and again, she asks.
"Hmm. Taylor is only a few confirmed spiritual magicians in the country.
"" "" What?
Everyone on the spot is amazed.
"Ha, my spiritual magic, it's pretty special, though.
"But to the royal magician, it's magic.
Look, look at this castle gate.
"Absolutely... then I'll do it.
"So, what's an alle?
Leila asks three times.
"It's simple. My spirits just let them 'fortify'.
Taylor answers.
"Hmm? Spirit magic but enhanced??
"Huh, Leila. Different sizes, different sizes.
It is his spiritual magic that strengthens the whole castle.
You can't scratch any attack, and the duration is 3 full days and breaking power.
"That's... you deserve a royal dedicated magician.
William nods.
And Taylor says something bumpy with his hand on the brick at his feet.
Soon a magic formation will appear around Taylor in the top five places, front, rear, left, and right, and the magic formation will spin.
Taylor inside narrows his eyes.
"Nio, come, fulfill your covenant with me.
With the words, the area around the castle gate was enveloped in a dazzling blue.
