A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 310: Replacement of players.
"Ha... wala wala, wala wala wala... when will it be over..."
Alice was getting tired of the never going forward war.
"Not at all.
Layla is sighing behind Alice, too.
"Well, I guess that's all you're desperate for over there.
"I wonder if...? Who?"
Takeo and William were coming beside Leila as Leila turned sideways.
"Oh?... William?
"Yes, shall we back off then?
Mr. Takeo, well, to the extent that you don't take your life.
"Yes, sir.
"Ah... hey, William, don't pull...
I want to do more -!!!
and Layla is forced by William to leave the battlefield.
By the way, Takeo and William came in, so it looks like the 2nd Knights decided to stop the fight once and see how to get out.
"Ha... Mr. Leila, was there a build-up of depression?
"Master Takeo... are you angry?
"Where?
"Ugh... why... all of it?
Alice answers without looking at Takeo.
"I'm not mad at you at all.
You must have been worried about me.
If I were in the opposite position, it would be the Knights for now, but I think it would destroy them.
Isn't that a good idea because in that sense we're handing it off properly?
"Ugh... I ran ahead.
Alice lays down her face.
"It's okay, 'cause it's okay.
Takeo hugs Alice from behind and pounds her head gently.
"Well, then, I'll be joining the fight on behalf of Mr. Leila.
"Huh? Didn't you come to stop me?
Alice looks up.
"I was going to do that at first.
But the 2nd Knights have been sending out siege weapons, so... at all... I can't believe they're sending out siege weapons against people in their own country.
Which brings me to the head, too, so I'll be fighting for a while now.
Let them experience a little more hell.
"Huh? Huh?
"Lady Alice, let's be angry together when you get angry, shall we?
And thank you for me.
"Ugh... yes! Dear Takeo!"
Alice snorted in tears at Takeo's words.
------------------------
When Leila and William came back to the Royal Castle stairs where Takeo and William were watching with the support of the 1st Kingsguard Squad, which came later.
"Back, Layla, William.
King Azpar was waiting with the third magic detachment leader.
The third magic detachment is guarding the perimeter.
"Is that your stepfather?
"Um, Leila, thank you for your hard work.
William had a hard time rescuing Leila, too.
"Yes. Does Father put an end to the fact that Father came?
"Oh, it's no bother.
But it would be better than someone else saying and leaving the roots of the disaster behind.
So? Why did Takeo and Alice stay?
"Well, the first thing I don't want it to seem like the 2nd Knights won by lowering Leila and lowering her.
Second, we have a siege weapon. The Second Knights have it. "
"Siege weapons?... sitting there... garbage?
"Yeah, Mr. Takeo discovered it, and he was aiming and just breaking it from here.
"Oh, is that an example small gun?
That siege weapon is the one the 2nd Knight Commander bragged about.
How many shots did you have?
"Three shots, right?
Meyer reports.
"Ha... don't be too brittle though siege warfare assumes use on the front line with magic and bows and arrows flying...
Was it a defective weapon?... you've been a good workout before you put into action.
So? What did Takeo say?
"'Aren't you an asshole taking out a siege weapon or something against your own people? Let's just break it'.
"Oh... you know what Takeo's trying to say, too.
Siege weapons are powerful, and if you hit them alive, you'll die instantly.
But, Alice, I don't think you can hit someone with something like that.
"Mr. Takeo personally said he brought up a siege weapon on Alice because he brought it to his head.
I'm going to threaten you a little bit or something... "
"... can't we just end it... be anymore...
I know Takeo felt something while watching from here, but... what are you going to do?
"Come on? Mr. Takeo has a flexible idea, doesn't he?
You say that Mr. Takeo threatens... so you'll never kill him normally.
William laughs bitterly.
"... First Kingsguard Squad Commander, two opponents of the King's Capital Guard... I'm glad it wasn't us..."
Andersen groaned at Meyer, and Meyer snorted bitterly.
------------------------
Terrace in the hall.
"Oh, I resumed.
Ann groans. The royal family sends their gaze.
"Hmm?... hmm?
Dear Alice... are you starting to fall back a little?
Amy said, "Ha? face."
We also knew from here that Takeo went in after turning into Leila.
A reproduction of the battle against Auga + Goblin? and the royal family were making wiry predictions, but...
Alice and Takeo gradually began to fall back from the beginning of the resumption.
Takeo completely prevents the soldiers from attacking, Alice snubs away... and the way he fights the strongest combination remains the same.
It's... it's slowly dropping.
"Neil... isn't this yummy?
"Yeah, this situation on the battlefield would stop the march, wouldn't it?
Two princes tense their faces with their eyes open.
"Huh? Cliff, Neil, what do you mean?
Alice and the others must be being pushed, right?
"Are you being pushed? This is it?
No, the Second Knights are invited.
"Yeah, we're looking from the top, so we know the full story, but...
Does the 2nd Knight Commander know? This situation. "
Neil and Cliff were starting to look seriously at the battlefield in the face of the commander.
I can't hide my surprise from two princes my family has never seen before.
It slowly and gradually lowers... and a gap begins to form between the rear and the front lines.
"... Huh? Isn't it a little... too far down?
Are you willing to give the 2nd Knights the win?
"Takeo and Alice... don't think horrible.
"Yeah."
Neil nods as Cliff says.
"What do you mean?
Amy listens.
"Hmm?... well good.
That was practically Alice vs. the 2nd Knights earlier, wasn't it?
Cliff says.
"Yes."
"To be precise, Alice was in battle with less than enough baggage to be called Leila.
So, the battle itself was a battle of gorilla pushes that gradually shredded and pushed forward as Leila looked left and right and instructed few enemies.
Neil says.
"Yes."
"Still, it was built as a force enough, little by little, but Alice and the others were pushing it.
So, now from your luggage named Leila, a force named Takeo came in instead, but...
Normally, I would expect more gorilla push.
Cliff says.
"Yes. We expected that too, didn't we?
Selina says.
"But what about the truth?
Alice and the others are slowly falling back.
I guess Alice and the others are thinking about creating a gap in their minds here.
Neil says.
"A gap in your heart?
"Ah. I told the 2nd Knights, 'Alice and the others are starting to get exhausted?' 'If we keep this up, can we win?' I'm trying to make you care, 'I'm going to make sure you win.
"Why would you do that?
Lorna asks.
"Probably a soldier's placement.
Now he's evenly positioned his power and makes it like a defensive main.
So I guess sharpening doesn't sharpen too much.
But this breaks down the moment you come to win.
You should lose your balance of power and pull your elite aside or center... both sides if I were you.
Neil says.
"Oh. Don't make me want to come by either side.
There are two opponents... then you can win if you attack from both sides at the same time.
But the moment is also a winning opportunity for Alice and the others.
Cliff snorts
"Diminishes the battle ahead?
Amy listens.
"Oh, yeah.
Kick it all over there at once. Those two will start the assault, but...
I don't know how to look at the timing... it makes no sense as early as possible, and if it's too late, they'll storm.
You have to understand the finesse of an exquisite battlefield.
Well, maybe even aim for moments aligned on both sides... "
Neil laughs bitterly.
"Ha... you're not just practicing anymore.
Amy impresses me.
The royal family looked nervously.
