Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki
Episode XXI: One Hit
It has been a week since the Battle of Cage Castle began.
Fatigue is thick on the attacking Imperial soldiers, but the Elsier side is similar. No, it's worse than that. Absolutely too few people.
Worse still, the Imperial Soldiers have completely filled the holes we dug this past week, even as they bathed the arrows like rain. What a dumping of a body in a hole from one end on the way.
It also hurts that they have changed the way they fight, they never come by force as they did on the first day, and the attacks of the Empire are becoming more and more passive, such as sporadic or attempted break-ins in small numbers. That also increases the fatigue on the Elsier side.
The large number of replacement personnel allows the imperial side to attack day and night, but the small number of Elsiers does not.
... On several occasions, I was pushed to the point where cluster bombs were used with a risk exterior view. I took the risk of being bounced back by Ashno. But I had to use it. I was pushed to a bad situation.
Now it's a stone thrower.
An imperial soldier was targeting this one with a giant stone thrower with a spring style.
In an attack with a parabola, I'm guessing you're about to cross the wall and directly attack inside Elsier.
Looks like a giant bow and flies a giant stone with the power of a spring.
However, the range is about 100 meters.
Put him on a trolley and an imperial soldier comes running to pack the distance by pushing it, but one of the elves sniped the tires of the trolley of the stone thrower causing the stone thrower to flashly roll over and the imperial soldier who was pushing it underneath.
"Not at all, I don't think too much"
But odd. The very idea of a stone thrower is not bad. To break the outer wall of Elsier, which is robust but not tall, a parabola is drawn and an attack over the wall makes a lot of sense.
Had Ashno been on the catapult escort, he would have succeeded in dealing a certain amount of damage.
With Ashno, this arrow won't arrive. Once that mass of stones is released, it's impossible for us to shoot them off with arrows without using the magic of the wind.
If Imperial Soldiers and Ashno interact, not just this time, they should be able to hit as many effective hands as they want. Even so, this past week has been a failure for Ashno to carry out the kind of operation he came up with without showing up at all.
Before this, an Imperial soldier tried to dig a hole and attack us from the underground, but the sway of the earth made us realize and bury us alive with the earthly magic of the Firefox. But that's what Ashno would have done if he had succeeded alone.
Thanks to Ashno not coming out, it's easy, but the situation is too bad.
One more week in my reading. No more than the people of Elsier.
"If you want to turn this situation upside down, do you have two hands?"
The first uses a trump card prepared separately from the pit.
... This is the real last trump card. I still want to keep it warm.
The second is I'll find Ashno, and I'll attack and defeat him from here.
If only Ashno could be defeated, he could use a full grenade or cluster bomb.
That way, the war situation can be reversed at once.
"Hey, Cyril, here comes the girl. It's just one person, and it's a trap?
Lucier, who was on watch with me, speaks up.
"If you think about it, did you come in person? It's not a trap. Enemy."
Ashno walked straight to the outer wall on the south side where I am.
Reckless raids alone without taking anyone.
The elves snipe.
But unnaturally bends like an arrow avoids Ashno.
The elves are stunned.
I can't help it either. I guess it's hard to believe that an arrow that shouldn't be affected by the wind bends through the magic of [wind].
"Guys, don't shoot the arrow! It's no use shooting. Sorcery using mana on him doesn't work."
When I scream, the shooting stops.
Ashno's walk never stops.
200 meters left. That's where Ashno stops.
"Elsier's chief, come down. If you don't come, I'll run straight from now on and smash that outer wall with earthly magic"
I guess they use wind magic. Ashno's voice echoes on one side around.
Elf the Elsier, and the Firefox look at me with a little face.
Damn, what you say is flashy. But I'm actually terrified that Ash's can do that.
Ashno was right, he ran off.
"I'm coming, Lucier"
That's what I told Lucier, I got up.
Hands have armor and high vibration cutters. And I'm changing my clothes to match the way I fight this one.
Plus, ten demon stones that consolidated my magic. It's the most gear I can get right now.
"No, Cyril. That guy Cyril's been saying, it's a monster, right? Full control of all attributes of Mana. If it was in front of that guy, Cyril wouldn't be able to use wind magic, would she? An elf who can't use the wind is just a person. No, don't go. Let's all fight."
Lucier grabs my sleeve and begs me.
I take my neck off slowly.
"... I would have heard Ashno say. I have to go."
Lucier takes his breath. And look at Ashno, not me, and release the crossbow.
Played in the wind, as it should be.
"Everybody shoot, too, or Cyril will go away. You're going to lose. That's not true. So we have to knock him down!
The other elves release arrows one after another.
The Firefoxes also desperately give the elves a crossbow loaded with arrows.
Everyone is desperate for me to go to the dead end.
But Ashno doesn't give it back, he keeps running.
I laid my hands on Lucier's head, who kept shooting crossbows.
"It's okay, Lucier. Don't worry, I'll win."
"But the elves can't use wind magic, and the people who use all the attributes are the opponents, so they can win..."
There were tears in Lucier's eyes.
So I smiled and gave him the look of a mischievous kid.
"Lucier, I always say, don't I?
"" I only say what I can. ""
Lucier's voice overlapped in my decision dialogue.
Lucier smiled and showed with tears in her eyes.
"Damn, the decision dialogue is ruined. Lucier won't do it."
"I'm Cyril's wife.... Yeah, you did. Cyril said she'd win, I believe you. Trust me, I'm protecting Elsier. So beat that guy."
I snort. And I put my whole body into it.
"Absolutely. I'm gonna win, Lucier."
I whispered to Lucier and I jumped off the outside wall.
◇
Ashno's leg stops when I jump off the outer wall.
"Cyril, you are much loved. Fight. Okay. This is a good country. Each and every one of our people is desperate to defend their beloved country."
"I created it... no, it's a treasure we've all created"
"Oh, or a treasure. I'm sorry, but this treasure is over for today."
Ashno's magic increases.
She took a fighting stance.
Now, even though Ashno can't use his right arm, how far can I go on this monster opponent?
"Can I ask you one thing? Why didn't you come forward for a week? If Ashno had come forward, he would have done more."
"Winning with my power with a gorilla push will not have won you in war. Hopefully, I just wanted to win with the power of the Imperial Soldier"
"Nothing. I think it's too soon to give up. That's better, now it's somewhat dominant. If we keep going like this, we could have pushed it."
"Maybe so. But you have your back, don't you? So if you don't have the power to push it off here, it's gonna be a terrible mud."
"Come on, I don't know. I wish I had something convenient like that."
"Besides, Voldek's the limit now. Momentum likely to break the seal now."
I laugh. Was the trump card out of existence?
It's bad news that the Duke of Voldek is cutting his numbness. We have to do something about this.
"Ashno won, to protect the seal, otherwise he gave up."
"Yeah, so I'm sorry. I'll let you screw me over. That way, they won't just unseal it."
That's a terrible story.
"There's an easier way to protect the seal. If only Ashno would take Voldek's neck. Then the battle is over and the seal is preserved"
"No, I don't think so. Then I lose my bet with you and I won't be able to see my father. I will defeat Elsier by myself. [M] Then I can keep the seal, and I can meet my father. So stay out of my way... or will you surrender and reveal your body to your father?
"Jokes"
"I knew I would say that. Same for me. Then let's start here with a fist."
There is no point in overlapping any more words.
So all you have to do is settle in battle.
... I can't use [Circle Regression] in this fight.
In case Voldek unseals it, he can't re-seal it without [circle regression].
In the first place, it makes no sense if I don't beat Ashno on my own.
He took magic from the demonic stone and dazzled Ashno as he circulated it to his body.
