Civilization Game

It was surprising and shocking news. After descending to the southern route and acting as if he were attacking Abyss, Casar suddenly turned and headed for the next Aland, not for Abyss overnight.

And if necessary, Aland was in the capital, Oz, where the main forces were to attack Opectus. Rod immediately informed Oliver of this information in a 1: 1 conversation.

“What do I do? What do I do? What's with the timing? ”

Oliver is in a panic when he hears the story.

“... I'm afraid that's too bad, but why don't you give up the Oz attack?" ”

Oliver shakes his head vigorously as Lord proposes to give up his counterattack.

“I've made too many sacrifices to get here. Oz has breached the gates, so you can conquer him tomorrow. If we go back with casualties like this, people will complain. ”

“Tomorrow's the day... ”

Lord thought as he hung his chin.

“It's a little vague. ”

“I think that's enough. In order for them to reach Silver Citadel, we must cross the Forge of Steel Canyon beyond our northern Node camp. If my troops take Oz in one day and return, I'll have plenty of time. ”

‘Yes, I think it will be enough if I calculate it like that...' ’

Lord was still skeptical about attacking Oz.

“How many troops have you deployed in this attack? ”

“Six thousand.”

Lord is silent for a moment, then asks again.

“…… What about Dennis and Conrad? ”

These two are the only heroes in the world who could be called Aces, and were briefly active when they fought Malek in the Genoserg War.

“Of course I brought them both to attack Oz. ”

‘… Oh my God. ’

What is this country doing, without fear, right above Caesar? I felt it was too dangerous to attack. An indigenous force attack without players was enough for 4,000 and one of the Aces should have been left in Silver Citadel for defense.

‘... Oh my God, Oliver, this guy. You're pathetic too. ’

But Lord was not as cruel as he was. I was able to understand Oliver's feelings.

The Opectus attack would have been Oliver's project. Since the beginning of the Temple, he has lived on other lands than his own, not to mention the annihilation bonus. It was worth it to build a new territory.

It is also a land of fertile and fertile perfectus that is hard to find in the territory of Aland, as well as numerous magical armor that is stored in Oz, and even Melody, a beautiful Ace hero without an owner. If things go well and you can press the melody as a hero, it will be worth it. If the most troubled heroes and internal affairs were solved at once, and Aland was here until the Cultural Age, then it could have been a major step up. How greedy.

When Rodna Chielo predicted the timing of Casar's attack, the emergence of a New Cultural Era Specialist. Casar had just entered the Cultural Age, so there was little time left. Oliver would have wanted to take perfectus before it got too late.

Moreover, Arc was calling for Abyss' top contention in the chat room, but there was nothing more to suggest to alliance players Oliver or Chielo. Perhaps considering all these moods, Oliver has gone on to win the Slummy Opectus Championship. However, Casar slaps his head as if he was waiting.

‘Your face is smiling hard, but you'll be crying inside. ’

Anyway, the alliance could not order the affairs of another country. I couldn't stop Oliver if he decided to. Lord asks again.

“What is the Siege Status of Oz? ”

“I'm about to tear down the Resistance gate. Starting tomorrow, it's market war.”

The gate was breached and only the Civil War remained... Luckily, the siege seemed to be going well.

“At least you'll have Oz by noon tomorrow. ”

“Haha, of course! ”

After finishing up with Oliver, Lord took care of the situation.

An army attacking Aland is roughly 4,000. Not all of Casar's troops. Rod had a "mobile force" on his side of the border with Casar and Puddle Square, but he was unable to move them. If these troops go to Aland, Casar's former troops will return to the Abyss. This puts the Underhaims in danger.

The ideal scenario was for the Armed Forces of Aland to return to the mainland, strengthen their defenses, and drive Casar out with the Armed Forces of the Underhaim once they had gathered enough.

‘…… but… Is Arc's strategy really over? Just to push 6,000 in the front? ’

Rod found out the next day that it wasn't the end. The 4,000 troops sent to Possess the Node is some kind of bait. In fact, there was one more troop.

And the 2,000 elite troops were attacking Silver Citadel, not elsewhere.

‘…… No way. ’

According to intelligence, the Steel Canyon, a passageway into Silver Citadel, is intact. Moreover, the troops did not get caught in the spies' network. Lord immediately unfolds the map.

If we move troop reforms out of the way little by little, it is also possible to prevent them from reading the flow of troops. What if those troops snuck aboard and infiltrated mainland Aland? Then you cross the rugged rock mountains surrounding the Silver Citadel, not into the Valley of Steel. If you think like this, you can guess the path of those troops who suddenly appeared.

‘That mountain must be a barren wasteland...... Is it even a place for an army to pass through? Not just the ones you ordered or the ones you executed. ’

Meanwhile, Oliver in Oz was also aware of this, but he had no right. The situation was chaotic as we just entered the Civil War. We were unable to retreat our troops. Oliver had no choice but to pray that Silversitadel and Bianca would survive until Oz was at peace and returned.

While Oz was completely conquered, the first Node region, Posy, was taken down by Casar. Silver Citadel has also remained resistant to the third line, the last line of defense.

As soon as he captured Oz, Oliver was shocked to return to the mainland with exhausted troops.

Lord heard the news and urgently spoke to Oliver in a one-to-one conversation.

“Wait a minute! Oliver. It's too dangerous to go all the way to Silver Citadel with the troops we just sieged. We'd better go together as soon as our troops gather... ”

“Lord.”

Oliver's voice is trembling.

“Bianca is in Silver Citadel. ”

“… but the more it is, the colder it has to be. ”

Lord told me.

“To be honest, Oliver's army could go up any minute now. By the time we arrive, the Silver Citadel will already be taken. ”

“We don't know if we're still going down! ”

Oliver screams. Lord was surprised. Perhaps Oliver had made such strong claims.

“…… Oh, I'm sorry for being so rude. But I'm going. ”

Oliver eventually rejected Lord's proposal to join forces and decided to move his troops.

*

Oliver leaves Oz with only a few men left to keep him safe. Melody, one of his goals, has been described since the fall of the castle, but now is not the time to look for her. For Oliver, a man who is several times more valuable to him than Ace is in danger.

The Armed Forces marched day and night. Many soldiers fell out or ran out during the march because they were not given a proper rest after the war. The more Oliver gripped his teeth and urged the soldiers to do worse. Deputy officers put their tongues out at the unusual vicious charisma.

That's how they got to Stormhole, the first Node Station.

“... Thank goodness! You're still safe here! ”

Oliver looks up at Stormhole's fortress in awe.

He heard from Lord that Silver Citadel had been taken in the middle of a march. He was right, too. But Oliver did not let go of the leash of hope. Keeping this pace, I'm confident I can save Bianca before it's too late to reach Silver Citadel.

“Oh my, Your Majesty! Welcome!”

With the gates of Stormhole open, the Lord Annex and his nobles rush out and prostrate before Oliver.

“The Emperor is pleased to meet you. ”

“You're all right, my lord. ”

Oliver holds the Lord's hand and raises him. They were all small, heavy dwarves, all of whom were about the same height as their children. They were ‘gnomes’, also called Dwarf cousins.

Aland was a country where three factions of Humans, Dwarves, and Noums lived together. However, unlike humans who hold power over generations of kings and dwarves with innate skill, gnomes had no advantage. They were naturally pushed from the center of power, and only Stormhole, a long hometown and its vicinity, remained a district of Nodom.

“You can rush all the way to this faraway place, so the true nature is in your hands! I was so frustrated that we would have to deal with Kasar... ”

“With this reunion, Caesar can win. Let the gnomes join us in taking back the Silver Citadel. ”

“Of course. Now, don't do this outside. Come on in. We've prepared some hot soup. ”

For the first time during the return to the mainland, the Allied troops were barely able to get inside, filling their bellies with warm soup and closing their eyes. Everyone fell unconscious and fell asleep.

Oliver also went to sleep thinking about taking back Silver Citadel. I was very tired, but I couldn't sleep right away because of my worries.

‘... all because of my greed. ’

What were they thinking back then? Casar's eyes are wide open to the north, but Gekko's soldiers move. He was distracted by the bread in front of his eyes, trying to turn his eyes away from reality, and the result appeared like this. If my territory and my body are not guarded properly, why did I want to covet others?

‘Wait, Bianca. ’

Oliver falls asleep, thinking of her face.

And after a while.

“Your Majesty! Get up quickly!”

Oliver opens his eyes in an urgent voice. I saw a face full of freckles. He was an ace hero, Dennis, with a machine arm around his back and a scientist's robe. As Oliver rubs his eyes and raises his torso, Dennis flinches.

“Oh, sorry... for waking up something like me. ”

“... Haha, it's okay. So what's going on? ”

I don't know why, but my back was sweating. You haven't woken up even in this situation.... He was already tired.

“We've got trouble! Castle! The castle is on fire! ”

“I beg your pardon?”

Oliver looks out in his cowardly outfit. Stormholes are fortresses of natural rock and timber, all of which are on fire. The fire even started to spread to the residence. I couldn't even raise water to turn it off.

“Phh? Hahaha! You're all right, Your Majesty! ”

Conrad, the dwarf hero with the rifle on his shoulder, approaches Oliver with a few soldiers. Seeing his solid appearance, Oliver was a little relieved. Conrad said.

“Since the East Gate is open, let's get to it! ”

“Yes, let's go. ”

Oliver and his men rush out the gates at full speed.

Leaning out against a small torch, Oliver stops walking slowly, in the dark.

The soldiers in the back also stopped to see if they were feeling popular. You hear footsteps in the dark. Now I heard the groaning along with the footsteps, whether it didn't matter if it was discovered. Soon, the torches lit up the surroundings and the knights in armor appeared.

They were completely surrounded.

“Hello?"

Oliver looks back at the voice he hears in the dark, and he feels a fear of heartbreak.

“…… arc! ”

Arc waves his hand with a smiling face.

@ llSongOfBladell/many. That's how you sneak in and figure out the route. What Anylox said about being blocked was that he couldn't enter a military organization and retrieve military information.
