Civilization Game

An army of two nations confronted each other about the Gateway, the only way to Empire, Casar's capital.

An army of 20,000 Abyss lunges for the gate through the raging cold.

“Raise the ladder! ”

Chubbling! It was spectacular how the ladders stretched out over the heads of the charging soldiers as they reached the upper floors of the gate. However, unlike what it seemed, the situation did not matter. The blizzard was so severe that the ladder often fell to the ground and was caught in an unintended place. Even the Abyss' arrows hit a significant drop in accuracy due to the violent winds. The wind and vision were all messed up.

“Ugh, what is this? Weapon in hand! ”

“What's going on out there? ”

“We'll all freeze to death before we even fight! ”

The thunder of the soldiers spreads in a blizzard. For most Southerners, the Abyss military had more than one battle and two problems in the first place.

“It's not easy, Your Highness. ”

Tia sighs, lowering her arms as she gives the siege order.

“Our troops are not ready for a harsh battle yet. I have never fought in the cold. ”

“…… It's really tricky. I can see why the arc is so bold. ”

Lord bites his thumb.

“But I'm going to take him down somehow. ”

Meanwhile, the protection of the aquatic side looks down at the Abyss army, which has been pushed in behind the walls of the gate, leading soldiers.

‘...... There are no special moves yet. Are you pushing to the enemy's advantage?’

He kicks the ladder across the keep with his foot and picks up the orb.

“Don't go out after your enemies too much! The harshness is the biggest weapon we have! If we hold our ground, the enemy will die on our own, so pay attention to guarding the fortress! It's only a matter of time before they do this! ”

“Yes! Commander! ”

“Do you hear me? Hold on tight! They will sit on the sheep! ”

“Waaaahhhh!”

The morale of the Kasar soldiers guarding the Gateway was high. Everyone was aware of the country's crisis, and loyal soldiers were prepared to lay down their lives and defend the fortress.

The atmosphere at the beginning of the battle was good, but the guard was vigilant and constantly watching the situation.

‘The opponents are Rod Polentia and Tia Grandinet. Isn't it a very simple tactic for two people to punch each other in the head? I thought I'd try a lot of different things whether it works or not.... ’

The guard turns his head and summons one of the deputies.

“Find out how many hostiles you've got! 20,000 of them, and if they're on the move." ”

Shortly after, the deputy replied.

“We can't do a daily count, but on a scale of 20,000, we estimate. I don't think we're subtracting any guerrilla troops. ”

“…… Well, I see. ”

After the guard swings his sword and defeats one of the hostiles coming up the ladder, he is a horse.

“Soldiers forming defensive lines in the left and right mountains should be more vigilant every day. Send another messenger to alert the defenses! ”

“Yes!”

The siege lasted seven hours without rest. The Abyss continues to hear a painful cry, but Kasar remains at large.

“Hang in there! ”

“Weak southerners! We won't be able to fight this cold for long! ”

As the siege was unfolding without a concession, a messenger rushed to the guard and told him something new.

“Commander! We have a problem. The Western Mountains have been breached! ”

“… What? ”

The shield quickly turns to the messenger.

“Rod Polentia chose the mountain route? How can an army pass through such a harsh mountain? ”

He said, "It wasn't the old army, it was a small army. The estimated number is approximately 200. ”

A strange light appeared on the protective face. It was not a significant number for 200 people. What can you do with just 200,000? ’

Then the deputy added,

“And all of them... … were Abyss Assassins. ”

“200 people? ”

As far as protection is concerned, Assassins are the most elite in the kingdom, even within the Abyss. A quick 200 assassins wouldn't be too hard to climb up the mountain and break through the defense lines.

“How many men are guarding the Cold Tower? ”

“400 people are building fences around the Cold Tower and keeping it intact. ”

“...... It's ambiguous. Send an extra 200 over here. ”

The deputy was surprised and rebuked.

“This will weaken the gate's defenses! ”

“I can't help it. And prepare a courier to send to Arc immediately. ”

“What do you want me to say? ”

“Call for reinforcements. The hostiles have come over the mountains, so they want more troops to defend the Cold Tower. You shouldn't be so careless. ”

“Yes! Commander! ”

Heave-ho. The blade of the giant guillotine rises. The corpse of the fallen man is dragged down by the executioner, and a new man falls to his knees. When the wooden plank that secured his neck came down, the man realized that death was coming. My body trembles and my pants get wet. A bloody blade glows from above your neck.

The executioner asks a question.

“One last question. Are you an Abyss spy? ”

Before death, the man's head quickly returns. As soon as I said no, I saw the blade coming down from the guillotine several times while coming up here. Wouldn't positivity be a better way to live? He decides to gamble with the feeling of death or chaos.

“No, that's right! I am Abyss' spy! ”

The sinners around me murmured. At that time, the plank that was holding his neck went up, and two soldiers stood him up. Then I put another sinner who was waiting behind me on the guillotine.

Sa, you're alive! ’

The man relieves himself. Rumor has it that Crazy King Arc is completely insane, but the answer was yes, not to deny what Crazy King Arc said.

At that time, the soldier who was holding the man's arm and dragging him around kicked his tongue.

“You're not really a spy, are you? ”

“…… Yes? ”

“Pathetic. Humanitarian death with a guillotine. You will now die in the presence of the king punishing the flesh for its destruction. ”

“W-what? ”

“It's too late. ”

The soldier mutters, handing the man over to the guards. You hear a man squeal and scream, but the soldier ignores and goes back to his guillotine.

And there was an arc watching all this from the highest point of execution. He was sitting in a chair sipping wine.

‘The plan is coming to an end. Now that we're done cleaning up, there won't be a single revolutionary left in Empire. ’

Arc is lost in thought, and a messenger ascends to where he is.

“Your Majesty! Lord Protect! ”

“What?”

Arc grumbles.

“Now that the enemy's Star Guard is inside, I want reinforcements from here to guard the Cold Tower!" ”

“... Really? ”

Arc was annoying, but his head as a strategist wasn't going anywhere. As he ponders for a moment, his mouth opens.

“If we're going after the Cold Tower, we can't help it. Grab a few hundred and send them away. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

According to Arc, Empire's reinforcements are ready to be sent to the Cold Tower.

*

“The enemy unit has entered the territory! Brace yourselves!”

Meanwhile, in the Cold Tower, Kasar's commander was inspecting the defenses.

It was heavily guarded as it was an important facility. It is not just a fence, but a wall of steel, and its defenses are tripled. It was set up all over the place with a huge watchtower, so it was truly a small fortress.

“General, this is Bogo! Additional reinforcements are coming from Empire. ”

“Well, thank goodness! We just have to hang on a little longer. ”

The commander goes around encouraging the soldiers, and the soldier watching from the watchtower shouts out in a loud voice.

“General! An army is coming this way! ”

“…… What? ”

The embarrassed soldiers whisper. The deputies shout in a rush.

“Back to your seats! ”

“Draw your sword!”

While the soldiers are stationed at the keep, the commander raises his head and asks the guard.

“Tell me which way! Are you the house of Abyss or Empire's reinforcements? ”

“I'm sorry! I can't see very well because of my eyes and feet! ”

Both the commander and the soldiers stared at you nervously. Then you see some kind of flag in the scattered snow.

“…… Well, they! ”

“Reinforcements first! ”

“Waaaahhhh!”

You see Kasar's flags crossing the two swords. Beneath the flag were nearly 500 men, including knights in plate armor. The manager himself came forward.

“Identify yourself! ”

“I'm Gilford, Empire's knight. Lord Protect has called for reinforcements. ”

The commander takes a look at Gilford's soldiers and nods.

“Open it.”

The gate opens and Gilford and his men enter the fence. Guildford wraps one arm around the other as if it were uncomfortable.

“What happened? ”

“…… Damn, I met the Abyss outside. ”

The chief was frightened and shouted.

“This must be the Starfleet entering the territory! ”

“I'm headed for Empire. They were too fast to pursue with our troops. ”

The manager nods.

“Don't worry, Empire is well guarded. Let's do our job. ”

“…… It's our job, fine. ”

Gilford stretches out his snarling arm. Phew! Without a chance to do anything, the dagger's tip pierces the commander's chest.

“... Big... Cough! ”

“From now on, let's do our job. ”

The screams of the soldiers everywhere, as well as the commander. Suddenly, the Gilford army turned and began slaughtering the nearby Kasar army.

The commander fell to the ground by the dagger, despairing of the situation in front of him.

No way! You think they were Abyss soldiers? ’

I couldn't understand. Apparently, he was wearing Casar armor with the flag of the Casar Army, and there were more than 200 people reported. What kind of magic did you use to pull this off?

“I'll make it easy for you. ”

The man who claimed to be Gilford raised his sword. The commander's neck rolls to the floor with blood splattering.

“General down! ”

“Hehe! These vile bastards...! Defend the tower!”

The commander is dead and the enemy has infiltrated the depths of the advance, but Kasar struggles. With the Assassins on the Abyss' side, Kasar's side has had many knights. Unexpectedly, the battle raged.

While the White Plague is getting longer than I thought, the top of the Cold Tower roams like a wave, and a girl with a silver hair falls to the ground, passing through the outer wall of the tower like a ghost.

Kuang! You hear an explosion later. The large crystal sphere hanging at the end of the Cold Tower is shattered.

“The Master has done it! ”

“Oh!”

The Abyss soldiers raise their voices. The brave knights look up at the broken Cold Tower with empty eyes.

The eyes and feet were slowly shrinking.
