Continental Hero Senki

Dec 3 at 9: 40 PM.

Captain Maya Krakowska leads 1000 swordsmen to advance inside the fortress. Even so, because the fortress is narrowly intertwined, 1000 people cannot act together.

"The second squadron controls the central command room, the third squadron controls the north gate, the fourth squadron controls the south gate, and the fifth squadron controls the west gate. 1st Squadron captures a tactical mage with me. Questions?... All right, then move on to your own ops!

Maya instructs her men quickly, and each squadron falls under control of the fortress with its own mandate.

She directs one swordsman, 200 squadrons. The mission, as she herself said earlier, is the captivity of a tactical mage.

The presence of tactical magicians is valuable on the continent.

They require more training than senior magicians who are active in the field, and therefore incur enormous costs in nurturing. The problem is that all those who have been trained cannot be enough with tactical magicians. This is a difference in talent. And it's hard to tell where anyone can have that talent.

And even if they have that tactical magician, tactical magic can only be used for base defense due to the difficulty of activation conditions.

As a result, there is no training of tactical magicians in the Kingdom of Silesia, where there is no room for state finances and the whole country is almost plain and the importance of fortifications is diminished, and even the great powers are not actively expanding tactical magicians.

As a result, the value of a tactical magician is much more valuable than gold or diamonds.

Hooray if you can tie it up, and turn it back to the wayward royalists.

But if you don't respect this side, the tactical magician who can be called a walking weapon will have to kill you.

"The question is, if there really was a tactical magician in this fortress, where would he be?"

The range of sorcery beyond advanced sorcery depends on the sight of the sorcerer. If the sorcerer is within sight, it is within range. Most often magic is attenuated by distance, so it just reaches even if it is visible.

In other words, there is a tactical magician at a height where the point of approximately matching the effective range and the maximum range can be seen as critical.

Maya remembers it and calculates its distance and height in her brain. And compare it to the Ormutz fortress you saw from where you were earlier, and determine exactly where you are.

"All right, go on with me!

The 200 swordsmen led by Maya ran inside the fortress.

But something unexpected had happened to her in this fortress.

"... damn!

The structure inside the fortress is partially different from the map you should have remembered perfectly.

Meanwhile, at about the same time as the Royal Silesian Army began to dominate the fortress, Major General Kudlerček, who had dispatched the fortress, felt uncomfortable when he reached the point where he had marched about a day from the fortress.

"... that's odd"

In response to his whining, the first to react was Kudlerček's deputy, Captain Samuel Nejera.

"Weird, what?

"I can't hear the battle. It's odd that you're half a day away from Mount Balenov, the battlefield, and you can't hear it at all."

"... Indeed"

Combat is all about noise.

Sorcery ringtones, the sound of horses kicking the ground, soldiers roaring, screaming, assault trumpets, every sound covers the battlefield.

The absence of it means that there are two possible reasons.

One is an ambush. And the second,

"... Damn, what you did with me was put on the enemy properly!

"My lord!?

"Flip the troops immediately and pull them up to the fortress! The purpose of the enemy is Fortress Ormutz!

12: 30.

Sergeant René Kovalski, of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of the Emilia Division, who was acting as an opponent in the forests northeast of Fortress Ormudz, had his eye on the National Piety turning back to Fortress Ormudz.

Captain!

Kovalski reports to his supervisor, Major Sarah Marinovska, who was by his side. But she was also making sure the enemy came forward. The monocular lens she peeks into saw a regiment of cavalry blasting through the plains.

Kudlerček's intentions were clear. By moving before the enemy, the Emilia Division, discovered its own troops and took any countermeasures, it sought to narrow the Emilia Division's tactical options.

For this reason, Kudlerček, aware of the number of disadvantages, was himself ahead of the line to lead and advance the cavalry.

"Yuzef's operation has been defeated by the enemy. We need to report it quickly."

"When I say report, I can't make it on horses!

The relative speed with the enemy cavalry can only be zero, no matter how much Sarah is extreme in equestrianism than the enemy is blasting away in the cavalry. By the time Sarah is on her way to the fortress, the enemy cavalry will have finished deploying around the fortress as well. That makes no sense.

"Then we'll have to raise the flare."

"But then our position will be enlightened by the enemy!

"I don't mind. What matters to our enemies is the fortress's death, not the mess of fish like us. Right?"

"Yes, but..."

"Bye, Kova. You put three water balloons (water balls) in the air. I'll put up a cannon."

The meaning of the signal bullet Sarah instructed is "all personnel, withdraw immediately" and "enemy attack". Due to the fact that the fortress is far away, no reports of enemy attacks will reach the fortress unless it is artillery shells (ignis cannon) emitting strong light. Sarah thought so, and began chanting.

At the same time.

Colonel Halbercek, a national priest entrusted with the defense of Fortress Ormutz, had shown his full arm as a defensive commander.

"The North Gate, the West Gate and the South Gate are abandoned. All defensemen will defend the Central Command Room with all their might and buy time for the Friends to return. If His Excellency Kudlerček returns, it will be our victory!

He assembles the 1,000 remaining Fortress Guards in one place for a thorough defensive battle.

Due to the fact that the enemy Fortress Attack Troops were dispersing their forces to contain each facility's stronghold, their complete lack of grasp of the structure inside the Fortress, and the fact that Halbercek was a man with solid arms enough to be trusted by the Fortress Commander here, he efficiently repelled the enemy.

To tell the truth, there were no tactical magicians deployed in this fortress. As a result, a squadron searching for a tactical magician who was not even there became a complete Ranger, and the Attack Squad's battle power was even more restricted.

And a report comes in from a subordinate.

"Colonel! We saw 'Artillery Bullets (Igniscannon)' in the Northeast Forest Zone!

"Is that an enemy flare!?

"Probably!"

Artillery shells (Igniscannon) mean the same "enemy attack" in every country. The fact that the enemy fired up that "enemy attack" signal bullet meant "reinforcement arrival" for them.

"From the northern forest zone to this fortress, it's a few hours away with a cavalry. Then I can go!

At this point, the total number of casualties in the fortress defense led by Halbercek is only 28. If he continued to defend himself like this, he was certain to hold out by the time he got Kudlerček's help.

12: 32.

The Royal Silesian Army, which completely dominated each gate of the fortress, including the main entrance, was convinced of victory until a few minutes earlier, but was floated by "artillery shells (ignis cannon)" released from the sentry.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I was noticed unexpectedly early."

Yuzef, the person who planned the operation for the fortress attack, thanked his boss, Emilia. Emilia, in contrast,

"It's okay. Now more than that, we have to think of measures. Fortress control also seems to be struggling a lot..."

"Sounds like it."

At this time, Yuzef could have been confused in an unexpected streak. I had expected one battalion of defensemen to remain in the fortress, but I never thought I would encounter so much stubborn resistance. There had been reports that the information inside the fortress given by Fine was partly different, and the confusion had been applauded.

At the same time, he realized the horror of what he called a fortress: "the greatest masterpiece in military science, with an iron wall defense against all tactics".

"While I was at it, I seemed to insult my enemies too much. You were so proud that Laskino, Franitze, and this fortress defense force fell into my trap, that everything was as you wanted it to be. Totally stupid. I am."

He muttered so in such a small voice that no one would notice.

"Mr. Yuzef......?

Emilia looks worried, peeking into his face. But he had an unexpectedly refreshing face, the opposite of that whining.

And I slapped myself on the cheek out of the blue.

Naturally, those around him were surprised by the action, but he tells Emilia that without any problem.

"Your Highness, this is a change of operation."
