Kuro no Maou
Episode 116: Artillery (2)
"Evacuate the Alliance once! Hurry!"
Stepping out of the guild in front of the fence, I raise my voice and issue an evacuation order.
It's not just villagers here, adventurers, we all calmly follow instructions, even in the midst of this downpouring fireball attack.
"Oh, my God, this fire's raining. Oh, my God."
He comes with a face that looks terribly troublesome as Vulcan hoists his great sword over his head like an umbrella.
Several fireballs fall right off the Vulcan, but the flames blown up instantly suck into the Great Sword and disappear.
"Bad eating" skills are amazing, if I had that, I'd be convinced of Vulcan's spare time.
"They're shooting chipmunks from afar, go par and kick me?
"No, I want to avoid assault if I can"
"So what do we do? Keep your mouth shut and get shot. Let go?
Fireball attacks gradually gain momentum.
Each shot has the effect of spreading flames around a few meters radius of the point of landing, but the explosive power is not as good.
Ultimately, is this long-range attack magic the greatest power, or are you shooting at it with less power?
If you eat a carpet bombing with Ten-kiloton TNT gunpowder attack magic, there won't be one here.
No, the other side shouldn't think this line of defense is what it looks like more than it retreated in yesterday's World War I, because there's no reason to spare this time for a second attack.
"We have to keep shooting, this is inviting us to pop out."
"Huh?"
"Vulcan told me to storm right at me, which means everybody thinks so."
"Well, I guess he's just a hipster for being licked like this and shutting up."
"Yes, Yatsura brought soldiers in anticipation of us coming out, and that's not an escort for the sorcerer's unit that does this shelling.
I'm sure on the other side of the river, they'll be waiting for us, just to get back from yesterday. "
If this one dares to storm across the river, we will now be sniped across the river, and the opponent has a large number of archers and magicians, and about a hundred people can easily intercept without a machine gun or anything.
"... so you have to pull yourself into the guild."
"Yeah, you should put out about a scout, but basically, don't"
From the firing point, he's lurking and shooting pretty close to the river, and if he does well, he might be able to clean up his magician squad with an ambush, though somewhat risky.
"Don't worry, the enemy might come in yesterday."
"Look, the fireballs are falling quite a few for Kawahara too, I can't get an exact aim.
If he were to storm, it would be after this shelling stopped. "
Otherwise, a good number of infantry will blow up with allied attacks, and the Crusaders will avoid such a thing on the boulders.
"If the infantry just comes in, we can stop him as soon as me and Mo get out"
"Shit, I don't know what else to do"
With the reluctantly expressive Vulcan, I also decided to retreat to the Alliance.
Lily welcomes me back to the guild.
"Chrono! Daijbu!?
"Mmm, you're up, Lily. I'm fine."
Did I wake up with the sound of a fireball attack, at least I slept well in the middle of the night when I woke up, in the same bed for some reason?
(12) The horns also show that fatigue seems to have recovered enough. More importantly, Lili can do as much work as telepathic communication and healing magic without the Tenma knight coming.
"Where's Fiona?
For now, it's Fiona, not Lily, who needs you right now.
"I'm having dinner over there."
In the direction Lily's little fingertips pointed out, there was a witch on the roof earlier challenging a plate served with the same bread as I was eating.
Not that you haven't noticed the enemy shelling, but swallowing meals is really my pace, isn't this guy?
"Fiona."
"Oh, good morning, Mr. Chrono"
I pointed my golden eyes at you, but your mouth is covered in shades and bread, and your cheeks are full, hamster.
"Ooh, good morning.
Does gracefully breakfast mean you can assume that their offense is no big deal?
"Yeah, that's right - very bad"
Before responding, Fiona drinks milk poured side by side in a large glass that should be more of a jock than a glass.
This is the right time to say, "Is Fiona a lesbian?" Will you erupt as magnificently as I do?
I'm not going to tell you because I think I'm scared of the rest.
"Pu Ha - Arr's power is the same as' Fire Arrow (Ignis Sagitta) ', a simple shelling that just incorporates the' Far Throw (Catapult) 'formula.
You don't have to worry when Mr. Chrono comes under me. "
"You mean you were right not to storm."
"Yes, this would be the simple ‘demon tribe’ of thought and the maneuver to follow and broil it out a bit.
Even if it didn't come out, would it make money if the guild was lit and inflamed? "
"I see. You mean my predictions are perfect."
As long as you're in the Alliance, it's only a bullying shell with noise, but if you go out poorly, you're not burned. You're in danger of taking damage, if you can stop it, you want to stop it.
"Is there anything you can do about it?
"Shouldn't we shoot this one back, too?
"How many magicians do we have..."
"Well, no matter how simple the magic is, it's compound magic (union) that multiple magicians work together to activate, so I don't think this one can do a bunch of artillery shelling."
Exercising combined magic (union) should mean only those trained as a team.
Even our mage class adventurers have a lot of individual skill, but the basics of that are not necessarily personal play, just gathering together and being able to form a strong team, well, a combined magic (union) can be mastered overnight.
"I hope it's a cannon too."
That would be too much to hope for, or even Simon, a genius alchemist on a boulder, would not be able to build a cannon right now, no material or equipment in the first place.
"What about letting only Mr. Lily storm and attack from the sky?
"If the Tenma Knight Squad comes in half an hour after that, it'll probably fall here"
"Right."
Lily, a girl who boasts a threatening combat ability to deal with the Tenma Knight Squad by herself, but she can't put that true power on the front line without darkness, with a time limit of thirty minutes.
Rather, because there is no effective air force other than Lily against the Tenma Knight, we cannot allow the Tenma Knight Squad to leave until they show up.
"I mean, don't treat Lily like a handy pawn."
"Mr. Chrono would be happy to storm it if he asked."
"Don't say that because I can imagine it a little real"
Lily, a young lady, appeared in my head as I rolled a bowl roll marked Kamikaze and marched out.
It's horrible that if you ask me to do something about Lily that's too honest, I'm going to do it without any real doubt.
"In the meantime, surveillance of enemies coming in and repair if walls or facilities are damaged, and later, if you know exactly where enemy magician units are lurking, you can also try to ambush them"
If you go only with highly mobile members, there seems to be nothing you can't do.
But oh and I guess I'm lurking in the woods because some mages deployed across the shore in yesterday's battle were brain-busted with Simon's sniping.
"Isn't an ambush too dangerous?
"I don't really want to do it either, but if I'm unhappy with the adventurers, I don't know if I'll stop the decision."
"I see you're just not comfortable standing still in the room."
"Well, tomorrow or the day after, the enemy will storm again, so I'm not too worried about that."
"How can you say you won't storm today?
"That's all that got in the way of the river yesterday, and the next time you come, you'll have a bridge or a boat, or about the worst squid."
"... I see you do have a good chance of that"
"If it's just an infantry coming, we just need to intercept it the same way we did yesterday.
However, if you have the means to cross the river, the next battle will be tough, as will magicians and heavy knights. "
The first time the enemy stormed me with momentum, I was able to repel him well at the end.
Next time, the enemy will also be a real battle attacking without alarm.
"In the end, there's only so much you can do right now"
"Well, let's just say we wait until the enemy arrives."
