Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Move your troops now! ”

After Rudia's scream, she rushes out, too.

“Rrrrgh!”

As soon as I stepped outside, I hit my ear with a loud scream. Beyond the walls, a raging flame was flying in. To maximize the effect of the surprise, it was to blow a fire arrow that had never been used.

At that moment, I saw the lords rushing out of the catacombs.

“What are you doing?! Lead the troops and defend the castle now! ”

Rudia, who was screaming, hurriedly jumps over the wall without even hearing an answer.

Whoo-hoo!

As soon as you reach the top of the wall, an arrow grazes your side and passes by.

“These guys!”

Rudia, who is furious with the tip of her head, quickly moves her hands.

Glug-ug-ug!

A large chunk of flame rises from the palm of the slightly raised hand and illuminates the area. And the rising horror flies towards the enemy camp that is running far away.

Kuaang!

An explosion erupts in the midst of a turbulent thunderstorm. However, the strength of the enemies did not subside. Rather, I ran towards him screaming more.

Meanwhile, troops leaping over the wall begin to move into position.

There was a fire everywhere, as if trying to illuminate the dark night. Enemy arrows that came through the walls spread into flames and brightened the city.

Meanwhile, a counterattack has begun on the wall.

Shoot him!

The arrowhead rains over the enemy's head, and some soldiers begin to move ballistas and catapults.

Yuck! Yuck!

The moment the ballista's rope snapped into tension, the hanging javelin was launched. At the same time, the stones from the catapult strike the center of the camp.

It was quite a stable movement compared to the panic at first. It was because I didn't slow down my guard, just in case.

Nevertheless, Rudia's expression is still solemn.

What the hell are you after? ’

I had no idea the intent of this ambush. I've been attacking with orderly movements, but I still have that formal feeling. In other words, their movements were really useless.

But there must be a reason for an ambush in the middle of the night. Rudia is frustrated because she can't see why.

It was then.

Waaaahhhh!

Suddenly, a scream erupted.

“Huff!”

At the same time, Rudia looks strangely bored. It was because the place that heard the shout was in the back, not in the front, but in the castle. Screaming where there was no screaming.

Hostiles!

Rhodia senses that reflectively. Suddenly, Ludia doubts her eyes.

"Oh, wait! ’

It was a massive force. The number of hostiles moving around the brightly lit castle is roughly 5,000. And the bigger problem is that it's growing.

It meant that it was not just a carefully infiltrated force. It's probably closer to home than the troops attacking from the outside.

“Enemy breach inside! Rear troops, attack the invaders! ”

Soldiers were already moving toward you before Rudia called out in an urgent voice. It's because they also intuitively felt very dangerous.

There was a fire everywhere in the castle. Most of the inhabitants in the castle were dragged away to work or die, so everyone who stayed was a member of the Circus Rebellion.

The cloudy smoke fills the castle, and the gray smoke rises above the sky.

Waaaahhhh!

And as the smoke became clear, a great scream came out of the castle. A scream that is clearly different from what it has been so far.

Here we go! ’

Lydia has a hunch that the real attack is about to begin.

“When did you prepare this?! ”

Paventus, standing in a square in the Eigen White Writing, asked with a frightened expression. What he's looking at with his eyes wide open is a hole in the ground where soldiers protrude from. And the hole continued through the ground to the outside of the Eigen bag.

As far as Fabentus is concerned, there are dozens of these holes in this castle.

After camping outside the ISEN backwriting, I had never seen anything like this prepared. But it was natural to be surprised that something like this came out of nowhere.

Lycaen smiled and said.

“We've got it ready before the battle begins. ”

“Before it started? ”

It reminds me of the expression on Faventus' face that I don't understand. It was only after the war that he realized these rebels had settled in the Eisen White Paper. After being ambushed and some of the lords died, the Buryans gathered here.

I don't know how I'm going to get here, but I already prepared for this.

“I've been working on this for a while, of course. ”

“Work in between? ”

“That's right.”

What the Circus rebels gathered here in the Eisen White Paper was largely the result of Riccianne's pre-work.

Shortly before the war, it was through the Chamber of Commerce that he gathered war supplies, including food, and ambushed the well-stocked territories.

Immediately after the war, the supply shortage of the Circus rebels had to secure it somehow. However, it is extremely difficult to get it from the outside because of Caron High and the pirates in the sea. The options were extremely limited in such situations. The easiest of them all was to occupy a well-stocked area.

Castle is at an advantageous location in terms of strategic and tactical aspects, while also being provided with food and supplies. If the conditions were met, there were not many candidates. Particularly, in the east, where it was strategically suited to the imperial forces, the location was extremely limited to the advantages of opening up water battles.

When the conditions were met, there were only two places to come out.

After that, it was simple. Both castles dug a tunnel.

It was not possible for the enemies to make other choices, but it was easier. It was because it was hard to endure for long, even when there were insufficient supplies in the castle.

It exhausted the mind and became increasingly isolating, and the idea was that the moment it reached the extreme, it would attack from within through a pre-dug tunnel.

Once it was done properly, it was a way to wipe out the enemies at once. And the method was running exactly without any error.

Licayen looks at Paventus, who is dying of curiosity.

“It's going to be a long story, so I'll finish up here. ”

“Got it!”

Liquenne blows away, terrified of Fabentus' answer. Towards a brightly lit wall.

“All forces attack! ”

“Master! We've got trouble! ”

Bermurk makes an impression on the warlock as he rushes in hastily.

Twenty days after returning to the Empire to track down the Emperor. I always thought I caught it, but I was nervous because I missed it a lot. However, because something big happened, I couldn't accept it comfortably.

“What's going on? ”

“Th-that's it! ”

“Say it quickly! ”

“Yes, our forces in Brent Kingdom have been wiped out! ”

“What?"

Immediately, Bermurk looks away from understanding Baroque's words and asks for an explanation.

“All the lords who were farming in the Eigen White Writing were killed. A third of the troops died, the rest were disarmed. ”

Despite hearing the explanation, Bermurk still does not understand it.

He once lived as Earl Eisenhower. At that time, he looked around at the Eigen White Writing as almost ironclad. How did such a place fall?

Baroque, who recognized Vermouth's thoughts, added an explanation.

“According to Rudia, who barely escaped, she broke into an underground tunnel from the outside. ”

“Dungeons?”

“Yes, there were dozens of caves. ”

“You didn't know until then? ”

“No, it looks like it was dug up before the war. ”

At that moment, Vermouth feels like he's been hit in the back with a giant hammer. By digging a tunnel in advance, it means that the troops knew that they would be gathering for the Eigen White Writing.

“Grrrgh!"

I couldn't shake the unpleasant feeling. Ever since the war, the thought of Lycaen making fun of herself has not left my mind.

“What would you do? ”

Barrock asked with a cautious look.

An imperial force led by Duke Sepiteron has now entered the Kingdom of Bren and is headed for the Eigen White Paper. At this rate, the Imperial Army also had to fight Lycaen.

The problem is that the position has changed this time. They had to attack an Eigen Whitepaper called the Iron Wall.

Given the opponent is Lycaen, this is not the end of the break.

It was foolish to keep track of the emperor at this time.

Bermurk gives you a hard look when he thinks about it.

“Contact Sepiteron and regroup the troops. They're coming for us at Route Mountain! ”

Instead of crouching and waiting for the enemy, I wanted to run and kill him, but I couldn't. It was because so far there have been many aspects of war that have gone his way. If you go, there may be something else he has prepared.
