Underheim Siege

So both sides are ready.

The siege of Silver Citadel followed by the Underheim has begun.

"To the archers!"

Bang, bang!

It was the famous alvehem hunters across the continent who declared war. They march forward in a row, bringing the arrows together against the bow.

"Take the shot!"

The arrows shot from the ground cover the sky. It rained down upon the Abyss army on the wall as a favorable foe to natural disasters.

It was an enormous accuracy, even though it was aiming a bow at the sky and shooting with a grain. There are no arrows that do not come within the walls. The soldiers simply fall down.

"... It must be hard to fight under that archer's attack."

Tia raises her hand.

"Please. Door."

"Yep! It's my turn!"

Kuku!

A wall of pre-installed walls begins to rise. It was completely unfolded, with holes that could shoot arrows covering the front of the wall, and with a slight roof over it.

The elves' arrows fly back.

Ba-bak! The arrows strike from the rooftop of the firewall. Sometimes they bounced against the overlaid metal plate, or sometimes pierced metal and plugged into the wooden body, but never penetrated a single shot. The arrow doesn't seem to be completely blocked, but it looks like it could be a temporary fix.

"Here we go. Firing now!"

The rebound of the Abyss archers has begun. Even though the front wall did not allow me to shoot my bow freely, it was not too hard to aim at the soldiers that were stuck under the wall.

"Hmm, that's a strange trick."

Flora mutters, rubbing her head. The shape of the structure showed that it was designed from the beginning to prevent the high dropping arrows unique to elves. You seem to know the characteristics of these elves as well as the Fairy Queen.

"Prepare the fire arrows."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Prepare the fire arrows!"

After stopping shooting for a moment, the busy Elven Archers unload their fire arrows and send them over the wall. The front of the firewall didn't catch on fire right away, but there were some intermediate scratches that caused the fire to spread. When Tia saw that, she immediately gave the order.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Engineers, move with the materials you have prepared."

Constructors from the waiting Demibeast Association began their activities. They wandered around the walls, evolving fires on the firewalls, or repairing damaged areas with arrows. The damage was quickly repaired.

I glanced at Flora to see if she didn't feel well.

"Well, the fire doesn't even work. It bothered me. But..."

Kuku ku ku ku! The ground shakes.

"There are more than just archers in Alveheim."

Boom, boom, boom!

Giant plant monsters, composed of tree trunks, vines, and grass leaves, rush through the ground and reveal their appearance. These were the new Alvehem Specialist Soldiers' Guardians of the Forest.

"Queer!"

As the Guardians of the Forest extend their arms, countless trunks of wood spread out and reach the top of the wall. The soldiers of the Alvehem climb up the body of the Guardian and start running on the trunk straight to the wall.

"What is it? That monster?"

"A ladder replacement!"

"Stop them! Cut the stalks from the walls!"

As the Abyss soldiers cut off the cane touching the wall, the rushing soldiers plummet and fall. However, there are too many stalks and new stalks are growing rapidly and are still touching the walls.

Even the Guardian of the Forest first grabs the enemy by the trunk and drops him down the wall. The soldiers frown in terror.

"Cutting with a knife is not enough!"

Tia shouts with a loudspeaker bead.

"Builders, take your torches and light your trunks!"

Tia's actions were always swift and accurate. As the architects set the fire, the end of the cane burned and they moved to another cane. The alvehem soldiers aboard had to cut off their own burning stalks.

"The creature on the right reaches the castle walls. Fire your fire arrows and hold them off!"

She extends her arms and instructs. Knowing that Tia's instructions worked, the soldiers also moved on like Tia's hands and feet.

'Just hang tight until the princess returns.'

She stares at the battlefield as sharply as the eye of a falcon.

Late evening, Mr. Abyss. Camp.

After a long march, beginning at dawn, the Abyss army made camp and slept in their tents.

At that time, a blonde man sticks out his face thoroughly in a tent.

'There's no one.'

Rod sneaks out of the tent behind everyone's back and walks into the sparse forest. He was escorted and Phoenix was stuck to his tent, so he had to come out to touch the commander's spear. Unless you want to be mistaken for a psychopath with a blank eye who gestures into the air.

"That should do it."

Rod stops walking and opens the commander's spear until it gets dark enough around him.

It's been three days since the Underheim siege began, and the work below was ripe. He presses his finger against the commander's spear.

"Here, Tia. This is a gift from me."

- Do you want to use the skill?

"Yes."

- Please select the active area.

"Drug Palm, and Root."

- Yes. The Wind of Revolution skill is used in the selected region.

The new specialty of Abyss, the Revolutionary Front.

If espionage is the specialty of collecting information, the Revolutionary Front could argue that information distortion and forgery are the specialty. Like spies, they infiltrate other countries with their cognitive blocking and concealment effects, inciting, forging, wills and evils, manipulating opinions, causing conflict, and even rebellion.

And the skill of the commander's spear that assisted this revolution was the Wind of Revolution.

When a player of Abyss uses an active skill in the Commander window, the invading revolutionaries will cause a "coup" in that territory. At that time, all effects derived from the Revolution List will be "calibrated" by the power of God. In addition, because the Revolutionary Army incurred in anger is given a temporary but immense stat bonus, it often creates surprising views of untrained territories beating regular troops. That's why 300 black societies were overwhelmed by territory in Fuddle Square.

It was truly a powerful power, but there were several conditions for its use.

1. Only the territory owned by Abyss can be used.

2. There must be a common "target" of the common people, such as lords and nobles.

3. Cost 2,000 gold.

Once these conditions are met, the anticipated preparation time for completing is reflected in the Abyss Player's Commander window. This' preparation time 'varies greatly depending on territory and nationality and is influenced by external variables.

For a route filled with complaints from the territories about the Elves, the 'Preparation Time' of the Revolution's winds took less than a week, and Lord was able to reduce the time taken to Tia's unique ability, the 'Realm of Will.'

There is one more condition. When the 'Preparation Time' is over and 'Wind of Revolution' is active, the skill can only be used if another country occupies its territory. Further 'uptime' is needed here, during which time the revolutionaries will provoke and prepare for rebellion.

In other words, the "preparation time" when the territory is the territory of Abyss, and the "activation time" when the territory is taken by a foreign country.

Even though Lord knew that the Albheim army would not come out of the forest, he led the whole army down to capture the roots, and he took the time to meet these 'conditions' using all the available means to stay hidden.

At the end of the 'Activation Time' in the Lord's Commander window, both territories were marked as available, and they had just used a skill.

It's Drug Farm and Root tomorrow.

Both places will be replicated exactly as they were in Fuddle Square.

"Grrrgh! Good. All right. That's how you play the Abyss."

Lord finished the Commander's spear with a single smile on his face. With this, the Albheim army's retreat and supply will be completely blocked.

The revolutionary force, the rebels created by the revolutionaries, does not end with the elimination of the interested parties, but for the time being the military remains. In order for Alveheim to regain its territory, it must be fought against the Revolutionary Army under the effects of the Wind of Revolution. You can never simply take it away.

'Now, what are you going to do? Flora.'

When Flora heard the news, she wondered what she would look like and what kind of judgment she would make. A sneaky laugh emanates from his mouth.

The next day, the Underheim.

"…… I received a good gift. Your Highness."

Tia reaches out to the sunny sky when she hears Anylox's report that the Drug Palm and Root have fallen into the hands of the Revolutionary Party. He grabbed his fist lightly.

"... What are you doing alone?"

Anylox, who thought she'd gone after the report, asked me to be jealous behind her. She lowers her hand and turns around.

"Our intelligence commander is as devoid of existence as he is of them."

"…… It hurts when you swoop in like that."

"It's called 'girl emotion.' Sometimes girls do unique things with their own emotions. It is polite to pretend not to know when you see it like that."

"It's weird to do that in the middle of the battlefield. And you know the word" girl "doesn't suit you very well, right?"

"Shut up! The Maiden is still in the wild. Humans tend to hang on to numbers too much, but it's a bad habit."

"Oh, yeah."

After looking up at the sky for a moment, Tia leans against the wall and says.

"Director of Information."

"Yes."

"The retreat and supply lines have been blocked by the revolutionaries. Now, how do you expect to get out of Alvehem?"

"… Hmm, I don't know."

Anylox rolls his eyes and ponders for a moment.

"I don't think we're going to go back that easy, are we going to continue the siege?"

"Well, why do you think that is?"

"It's a pity we've been fighting so far and a great opportunity to take over the capital of a country. And most of all, it takes a lot of fighting. In fact, it's the fault of Alvehem that Opectus collapsed, so it's imperative that we take the Underhalf for granted, so that we are balanced, and that we lose sight of our alliance. If you sacrifice perfectus to gain nothing, isn't that proof of your incompetence?"

"Mmmm..."

She closes her eyes and thinks, tasting Anylox's answer.

"Humans are hard to understand."

"…… Yes?"

"I have a question for the Information Commissioner. If there is a 90% chance of earning 5,000 gold right now, and there is a 100% chance of earning 5,000 gold by working consistently for ten years. Which would the Information Commissioner choose, given other circumstances?"

"I'll take it right now."

"She will choose the latter."

There's only a 10% chance of failure. "

Anylox said in a tone that he didn't understand.

"Humans are always in a hurry to think that their lives aren't as long as those of the forest. Despite its safe approach, it is far too entangled with the interests at hand. Even at the risk of avoiding it. That's what we see in people's minds."

Anylox scratches her head and says,

"So if you put that story into context, you mean Alveheim's gone?"

"If she were a commander, she would have done so. The bread in front of you is very large and you will lose your pride, but it is advantageous to step back for a moment and wait until the strongest power source, Genocert, comes back. Opectus has suffered great harm, but so has Aland. Their power will still outrank ours. But……."

She thought about it and said.

"I'm not sure if you're considering King Alveheim's current movements."

"Ah! There!"

Anylox suddenly opens his eyes and points outside the walls. Her gaze also follows the hands of Anylox. Alvehem's forces are on the move and gathering. I was ready for battle.

"Looks like you're going to keep fighting."

"Well……."

Tia's eyes narrow, looking at the battlefield.

"Three days and nights of fighting in the water, but I felt that the mind of the current king of Alvehem was a little far from the Elves."

"… Yes?"

"It's as if a human has gotten inside her head."

As Anylox demands an explanation, Tia looks at her and smiles heavily.

"Forget what you just said." Girl Emotions. ""

"Oh, I don't know, it's not something you can just put up!"

Thank you.

Kujo Jotaro/Cripple Country starts with inability to control, and it's hard to have a inner circle, and most of all, if a country like Arogetus just gets in the way of it, it's hard to stop normal play.
