Civilization Game

By the time Colin and Sunbeam return to the rear with the troops, the camp was already a wasteland.

“… Suddenly, an air raid on Keltine……. ”

Rarely, the silent rays also circled around like they couldn't hide the shock this time. Colin bends his knees and picks up a piece of ash from his tent.

“Looks like Keltine has joined the Abyss alliance. ”

Colin squeezes the cloth tight. I made sure I didn't have enemies at the ambush point, but the story is different if Celestine can use the Warp Gate.

Moreover, according to the situation report, Keltine predicts that only infantry remains behind and only sends the flying magician's locations. It was perfect as well as the choreography of bashing and killing the rushing soldiers' reactions. This must be Chielo's handiwork.

“Hah, why did Celine suddenly appear out of nowhere... …. ”

The framework of the strategy that you have set in motion has been completely torn apart by Celine's intervention. I'm angry. Of course, considering all the circumstances would be part of the schemer's agenda, but this is way beyond common sense!

“I just don't get it! ”

In the end, Colin raised his voice, who could not overcome the anger. Ray's answer did not return, but he continued.

“Any country, any alliance, could have been welcomed by a Celestial capable of using the Warp Gate. So why did you choose the abbreviations Abyss and the Alliance of Alands? You knew you were going to turn Genoserg against him... Ha, I just think he's out of his mind. ”

Unlike Colin, who was pouring out his anger, the rays were calm in his thoughts.

“… there may have been some contact between the two of you. ”

“I'm not sure about that. Sometimes I've seen two people talking. ”

Colin replies blankly.

“Was it a relationship on Earth? ”

“She's not just a danger to herself because of her relationship! It's for your own benefit, so you make a decision. ”

Colin lets out a big breath and drowns his anger. Yes, I was most concerned about this. During the kings' banquet, Colin shared several stories to draw her in. If I postponed it with that experience, she would never be the one to lose a business. What do you think Chielo chose because of his high ratings? Colin turns his head and looks up at the dark sky.

“Abyss has rescued a difficult ally. Things got complicated.”

Colin has ordered all sieges stopped and camps to be constructed at new locations. The appearance of the Keltine position not only stopped the siege, but also forced the rear to place the archers.

And the next morning it was bright.

“Prepare for siege! ”

After completing a new camp overnight, Colin makes his way back up to the Planch with his troops again. The soldiers' morale is reduced by the fear of witches. If we don't accomplish something in the siege today, the slump will be prolonged. I couldn't do that.

“Your Majesty!"

Colin is discussing his plans with the generals at the commander's tent, and the messenger leaps into the tent cowardly.

“Many Celestial witches have appeared on the walls of the Ministry of Strategic Defense! Malek asked us to send out our wizards, saying we have to contain the witches. ”

“What? Witches? ”

Colin frowns and thinks.

‘What a hassle you've picked, Chielo. ’

Seems to have focused on the witches, noticing that this is the Ministry of Strategic Defense. Colin said at the end of his troubles.

“... I can't help it. Send in the Wizard's Troops 1,2,3. ”

The other generals open their eyes to Colin's instructions.

“Your Majesty! Do you send so many? The 4th platoon could compromise this siege!" I'd rather have Malek brought here and focused on Flanch Siege……. ”

“The framework of strategy doesn't change as much as you want it to, General. ”

Colin said as if he didn't deserve it.

“If we leave the Ministry of Strategic Defense and target the Planch alone, they will attack our troops' backs at the Ministry of Strategic Defense's stronghold. There are even witches who can open the Warp Gate, so there must be an endless number of ways to fight back. ”

“…… Wouldn't a small group of troops block the Ministry of Defense? ”

“Don't be silly. What more can you do than urge your enemies to crush each other? ”

As the left was quiet, Colin spoke.

“Here we have to rely on Malek's power. Malek won't take long. ”

“… Yes, I understand. ”

Colin decides to send a group of Wizards to Genozerg. He leads his forces outside.

“Now, we continue the siege! ”

Colin gives the order to attack. The goal was the same as yesterday, the eastern and southern gates of the flange.

*

On the Abyss side, the walls of the Flanch.

“Right archers stand down and swordsmen five paces ahead! All right, hold it right there. Don't let them get up the wall! ”

Aran is leading the soldiers from the front of the Wall.

There was still time to spare. Soldiers, in addition to the existing Abyss army, were also reserved soldiers from Arogetsu, so their hands and feet fit well. Everyone is fighting the opposing alliance with one mind.

“General, I don't even know if they're up to the task. ”

Then Aran's deputy approaches and talks.

“Why can't those kids be so tough when they siege...! And I thought we were supposed to be a magical kingdom. I don't think you've ever seen magic properly. ”

“...... It looks like they're still looking at the liver. But it doesn't matter. No matter how the enemy gets out, we're just defending this place with all our might. ”

Aran says so, looking into the eternity behind the wall. The last borough of the Arogetsu tradition. I was going to defend this place no matter what.

“How about the South Gate? ”

“Everything's fine. There are plenty of XWarriors there, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Aran nods and looks back at the camp.

“Hiya, isn't it fun just to watch? ”

The deputy said, giggling.

“What do you mean? ”

“This situation. The white man who destroyed us is now begging for his kingdom, and we are fighting again, even though we have already been destroyed once. ”

“I have no choice. Until there is only one kingdom left on the continent, this war will not stop. ”

“Oh, by the way, did you hear that rumor? ”

The deputy said with a serious look.

“Those Genoserg bastards eat people. ”

“ ……. ”

“I heard from a reliable informant, in Foot Hillland.... ”

“Enough.”

Aran stops the conversation with a stiff face.

“This is no time to be chatting. Go back to your seat.”

“Okay, okay. ”

The deputy leaves, and Aran clenches his fist. I know that. So I had to defend this territory even more.

“Stop!”

“Hey, you can't come up here! ”

“… Hmm? ”

Suddenly there was a commotion around me. Aran turns her head and sees a girl coming this way. He pressed down on a broad cove hat, and his chest was lowered with two split, borate hairs that gave him points with ribbons.

“How do you do?"

She raises the tip of her hat, revealing her face and smiling brightly.

“…… Who are you? ”

“My name is Chielo, brother Rod's friend! ”

She winked and said. Aran thought for a moment. Cielo, Cielo. I've heard that name a lot somewhere....

‘... Chi, Chielo Black Notes! ’

Aran bows in haste.

“Forgive my rudeness. I am Aran, General Commander of the Flanch. ”

“Oh my, oh my. Show some respect."

Chielo steps in front of Aran like a maiden.

However, the status of the witch hero who followed Chielo as a bodyguard was a little strange. She looks frightened and sweats.

‘... No, no, no, no, no! This is for Chielo! ’

Called Celine's tyrant, she's famous for her bullshit personality. What's with the sound of that honey falling? I had never seen her like this before.

“Oh, well. ”

Chielo suddenly looks back and says coldly.

“Do you have a problem with what I'm doing? Mint?”

“… Yes, yes? ”

“Your Majesty is not a woman at all. Shut up and sit on the throne and wait. Is that what this is? ”

“…… It's not like that! ”

Chielo sighs and grimaces.

“If mint has a head, think about it. There are only sick bitches in the palace, but I can't wait to get out in the snow by myself. Huh?”

“Oh, no, I'm just a little bit surprised! ”

“Hey."

She glances at the mint coldly.

“Shouldn't you go back and hang out with the kids? ”

“No, of course not! Your Majesty!"

She was clearly terrified. Aran was also watching the conversation with embarrassed faces, and Chielo turned his head and showed a pure smile.

“Can you forget about that? Aran.”

“… Wouldn't that be possible! ”

Aran replies quickly. I felt a little bit like living.

“But why would the Queen of Celine go to such a dangerous place...? ”

She smiles and opens her mouth.

“It's Rod's message. ”

*

“Waaaah!”

“Climb! Keep climbing! ”

“Don't back down! ”

Siege continues. Colin is out there, watching the situation, tuning the battlefield, but he's making little progress.

“Melody.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

She bows her head.

“What about the Party Spell?”

“I'm ready. ”

“Okay, they're being cautious. I could put in a big one at this point. ”

“Yes, I will do my best. ”

Melody returns to her place with the wizards. Colin takes a big breath to calm his nerves. With Celine's intervention, things got a little hectic, and Colin decided to make a slight change in his plans. I intend to shake the flange completely.

As Colin raises his arms to give orders, he sees a group of troops approaching from a distance beyond his vision, creating dust.

“What is it? Enemies? ”

“They're coming this way! ”

When the soldiers saw it, they muttered. Colin opens his eyes wide as he leaps forward.

Genozerg!

It was Genozerg's Demibeast Army, which was playing defense strategically. Moreover, there were 9,000 ‘soldiers’ of that size.

Now, wait a minute! What about the castle you attacked? Why are you already here? ’

Colin immediately opened the Commander's Spear and contacted Malek. Soon after, Malek's face appeared as a reminder that he had accepted the conversation request.

“Mr. Malek! What the hell are you doing? We were supposed to take over the Ministry of Strategic Defense! ”

“We have a problem. ”

Malek's voice subsides.

“I just got a letter from the mainland. ”

“…… W-what is it about? ”

Malek's facial muscles twitch.

“My capital is under attack from the Abyss army. ”
