Sixteen Tales "Valdera Fall"

"Join the war......? Lord Marius?

"Yes."

The painful atmosphere caused by the report of the fall of Fort Valdera in less than half a day was blown away by Marius' remarks.

"I appreciate it... but, Lord Marius, I thought you said you had no experience with that hand, with all due respect"

Marius seeded Bernhardt III, who seemed suspicious.

"If you don't have to kill me, it's fine."

The king tilted his neck at the enigmatic remark, but Lucas, Nilsson and Emma answered as a hack.

"Right, state anomaly magic!

"Yes."

A big twist happened to Marius' reply.

The fact that his magic power is out of reach is already widespread to everyone.

"I see, then you can defeat your enemies without killing them"

"Yes, we must be careful not to involve our allies."

When Marius laughed bitterly, a laugh occurred, although it was small.

Marius received the king's permission and returned to the campsite on "Teleport".

─ ─ No one in Filato knows that this is what Asteria is after.

"This is a dead soldier...?

The thought of Carno still prevailed.

Holdia soldiers are all insane in death and storm without fear no matter how many allies are killed.

The battle has just begun, and I didn't know soldiers on the side of the siege would be dead soldiers, either.

(Is this why there is no supply unit?!?)

I couldn't think of anything else.

The invasion was too fast to make Operation Scorched Earth, but still, 150,000 soldiers could not have eaten a satisfactory meal to get here without replenishment.

Even if we covered it with magic, it's cruelty that regular soldiers would have all escaped.

But if you think, "If you attack down the fort, you can eat a full belly full of rice," the slave soldier Bulb will squeeze his last strength and fight... that's exactly how it looked.

There were no defectors or 150,000 enemies along the way, but there are still nearly five times more than their own armies, and there is no parallel pressure to be attacked by surrounding them on all sides and becoming dead soldiers.

Still, the morale of the soldiers of Filato, who had experienced the plight many times, was high, but there was a reason for the great struggle.

"Ghaaaa."

An explosion sounds intermittently, making allies incapable of fighting with their enemies.

It was a form of suicide bombing magic planted on the collar of a slave.

That's probably because they don't wrap their allies around it.

Even though Fillato has won better in the number of defeats, the difference in quantity was starting to appear clearly because of the suicide bombing magic.

(Not good as this)

Carno is famous for his defense, which is why he understood the current predicament.

"Giant crossbow (barista), get ready. Hurry!

A giant crossbow is a weapon that ejects a giant spear that can finally be carried by dozens of soldiers, and is originally used to destroy castle gates and repel dragons.

Carno decided to use the trump card, which contained only two units in Fort Valdera, for a one-shot reversal.

"Giant crossbow, ready."

"Target enemy commanders!

Carno blew up the head of the enemy army with a giant crossbow to annihilate the chain of command, or else he went on an operation to shatter the morale of the enemy soldiers.

You should be able to fight more than each other as long as you kill momentum than your opponent is hungry, and then the battlefield will turn all at once.

"General, I can't get the position of enemy commander!

Screaming screams return.

Holdia, who comes swarming like the massive locusts, had no headquarters and did not know where the Admiral was.

As many as a hundred people knew that, Carno glanced beneath the walls, and then aligned himself with his position.

Regardless of the position of the Admiral, it can be read if there is a place for those who are giving instructions to each unit.

There was an aim that direct superiors and colleague soldiers would be upset if they blew up in front of them.

"Let go!"

In accordance with the decree, in the east and west, the soldiers move by three men each.

What happens if we shoot weapons against Castle Fort, against Dragons, against humans?

The answer spread in front of Carno.

The massive spear ejected causes a storm, flying as it physically blows Holdia soldiers who were on and around the ray.

When they landed on the ground, the tip part exploded and the wind swept away the unlucky who were nearby along with the tedious roar.

Carno's reckoning resulted in more than 10,000 casualties each, and the East and West, as well as the Holdia soldiers who were attacking from the North and the South, were frozen tremendously destructive.

"Giant crossbows take time to load! If you don't want to die, take it down before the next one comes!

A loud and well-traveled voice sounded, and the Holdia soldiers, by the way, returned to me and stormed again.

(WHAT!?)

Unbelievable to the Carno and Filato armies, none of the Holdia soldiers tried to escape.

On the contrary, it is becoming much more desperate than before.

Carno's calculations went completely insane.

The average soldier would have fled in large numbers. He should have escaped if he faced the fear of death, so to speak of a foolish slave soldier who did not understand the recklessness of his next march.

This was not based on calculations on a desk, etc., but rather on the experience of many times in the past in fighting the Holdian army.

That's why the shock Carno and the others were devastated, but they were still working their heads diligently while giving instructions.

(No way letting you blow yourself up even if you run...? The only way to take it down, is with you cornered to such a critical point? Did someone show up to do that?

It can't be normal if Holdia says it's because she's cold on slaves.

Because it is an important export and a force of war.

But I couldn't think of anything else to explain the current strange situation.

"Oh, my God! What allies do to people...!

The more Carno forgot his predicament and was unintentionally driven by his righteousness, the more brutal it was.

I can't just say cruel or reckless than I've stuck so brilliantly with it so far.

(There is a ruthless and horrible schemer...)

I have no idea who it is, but I have to break through the siege net at all costs and let my allies know about this.

I have brought just a violent argument to a successful conclusion, and I'm sure I can't defeat it unless I assume that there are cold measures in place by now.

Falling is a matter of the earliest possible time.

We need to break the corner of the siege more than there is no existential way out.

"I'll be the one. Run to that gap."

And Carno scolded him that recommended him to escape, and he that wished to die with him,

I gave him an order.

Discussing enemy generals on the battlefield is a big deal, and it is very difficult for Carno, who is known to Holdia for his face, to escape under the current circumstances.

It was realistic that those with information would make a breakthrough while he was drawing attention.

The aim was to strike, and all his men died in spectacular battle, but the pivotal men painstakingly opened their bloodlines and fled.

The news of the fall of Fort Valdera was received, and the court ministers became active in their move to abolish the wolf Asteria.

"You're always stupid."

Asteria was spilling her stupidity over a cup of tea in her private room.

A little of the demons seem sporadic, and the intervals are getting a little shorter.

And the emergence of a powerful man in the hero class, Marius Touban.

(Whatever you think, isn't that a foretaste of the demon king's resurrection!

How can no one else even imagine it when it's something that you can tell as soon as you look at past history?

It even ends up in a power struggle or something.

Three hundred years have passed since the demon king Zagan was sealed, and although the destroyed civilization has not been revived, the nation of humanity is prosperous enough.

On the Tariant continent, the Demon King has been resurrected many times in the past, but there is no example of the destruction of the nation of humanity before that.

Perhaps there is some arrangement between the Demon King and the Demon Man.

Even though it's dangerous to clean up more by chance than the same thing has happened many times in the past, it seems like a distant past already when no one believed Asteria's words and as a result became known as the "Mad Princess" and so on.

(No, there are only a few people who believe me)

Running his gaze with Chirali killed his expression and a few samurai refrained.

Those who believe in Asteria, who have been abandoned even by their flesh parents, and who have served their loyalties.

Even Asteria, who has chosen no means for the purpose and is badly told "ruthless," "cruel," or "cold-blooded," is hesitant to sacrifice these people.

But if her thoughts were not wrong, not far away, the Demon King would be resurrected and the majority of humanity would die.

(There is a verse that only Serraeno apparently feels...)

Isn't that what you're even increasing the smell of soldiers without thinking about reclaiming the land, etc.?

It was her mission to make the people of Holdia a little less likely to die and to make the country prosper.

For this reason, it is not acceptable to be imprisoned by personal feelings.

"Your Majesty, may I?"

"What?"

One of the samurai, tenderly answered Mireille's query.

Because he realized that a loyal samurai of his generation was trying to change her mood to himself.

"I don't understand His Majesty's aim in this case. I will fool you that you do not intend to turn the whole continent against your enemies, but please tell me to ignorant me"

Asteria glanced at Mireille's words.

"Don't despise yourself, Mireille.... then I don't mind revealing my thoughts, but I'll know soon enough. Marius will defeat the army."

None of the samurai were surprised.

Because I knew Ignato was secretly giving me a return order.

"I thought it would be long ago... when you say a slave soldier, if you lose 150,000 soldiers, will it never resonate later?

"I don't mind. Marius has no killer experience and even a verse he hates. Then they will attempt capture with abnormal state magic. And there's a filling Ate."

"But there is also the possibility of temper to kill everyone but those who recognize them as allies?

Asteria laughed and answered Isabella's question, not Mireille's.

"Then look at your natural temper and strength. It doesn't matter how you fall."

"But what if a man named Marius was a cutter and broke all His Majesty's goals?"

"In that case, I'll tell you what I really mean. So many cutters would agree with me on my purpose anyway."

What if they say, "I will never forgive you for fillato?"

"You have a hand in giving yourself this and begging for forgiveness. If it's in my defense, I'm talking about."

"Your Majesty would like to feel a little more confident in yourself."

"What will the king do with his proud appearance?"

Asteria flaunted her shoulders.

"What if I'm not allowed to offer you His Majesty?

"We'll have to die then. Actually, that's what I'm concerned about. If you're a Fillato puppet, there's no problem. But if you're just a cutter using the power of fillato, and you have a strong obsession with fillato, it's a real hassle."

Say, "Your Majesty, you have holes."

"There are probably measures without holes. Not a godless person."

Asteria cut the words and included a bite of tea.

"But we have to do everything we can to do more than be king. At the very least, the demons need to grow a country and an army so they can repel it."

In the end, Mireille's inquiry was missed without any answer, but she was not dissatisfied.

I can tell you that my husband, who is called the Mad King but actually has a strong sense of responsibility, just stopped his depressed face, had fruitful results.

"And Master Ignato is brilliant. Not only did you succeed, but you left 50,000 soldiers behind."

"Mm-hmm. That was a bad calculation in a good way there. I thought it would be better if I left 20,000."

To Mireille Asteria spoke plainly of merciless things.

Isabella leans her neck against her husband's words.

"Was the bombing magic I made, so useless?

"No, it's not. Besides, that magic is gonna be a good sprinkler."

Isabella's doubts deepened.

"That's no good. It's magic, so I'm fine with flowing to another country. Wouldn't it hurt for magic to spill over to another country?

"That's why they feed."

When Asteria had a meaningful grin and Isabella tried to ask further, Banessa, who had never spoken a word before, suddenly spoke sharply.

"Your Majesty, Mireille, Isabella"

I heard that. Mireille and Isabella stand in a position to shelter Asteria.

Shortly afterwards, multiple black shadows fly through the window, facing Asteria.

Banessa, who was traveling at a speed that no one in the room could recognize, knocked it all off.

A few short knives pierce the floor.

"Enemy, huh? I wonder who it is."

Asteria grinned bitterly at Isabella's crush.

"Too many to squeeze"

I believed in the power of the samurai to consolidate my surroundings, and if I couldn't, I was already ready to give up.

Four black chunks jumped into the room as Asteria could pull in a laugh.

Throw together the short knife that Banessa had in her possession with a view to it.

He flew much faster than shortcuts and humans that flew in from outside the window, and attacked the shadows.

There were only two shadows that responded and played, and the other two fell on the spot with their throats pierced.

And before the eyes of one of the surviving shadows, Banessa moved, slitting her throat with a short knife.

One of the others couldn't hide his surprise and agitation at the moment when the three men were defeated, and Isabella targeted him there.

Though the blow with a short knife was painfully prevented, shortly afterwards Banessa stuck a short knife around her neck and sank.

In the meantime Mireille has been on guard outside the window.

"Too weak... I can't believe Mireille didn't turn up"

There was no reason for Vanessa to speak out loud as she wiped her short knife with a cloth.

The samurai have exterminated all assassins who have been after Asteria many times.

Some of the fiercest banessas were made to struggle, but two possibilities were conceived that they came here and the raiders became weaker.

"You probably didn't know the power, or you ran out of arms."

Asteria also thought about the possibility of a positive movement, but she threw it away as soon as she saw Banessa, who had lifted her guard.

Although the latter is definitely likely given the frequency of the raids, there was a shortage of material that could be determined.

"Fair enough. Let's use these guys' bodies for bills to“ them. "
