Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 65: Seven Day War

"Well, good. Let's reattack and attack."

Tonino instructs him to bring the siege weapon forward.

For siege weapons, only parts that were difficult to produce were made in the capital in advance.

We assembled it after arriving at the Terrier Fortress.

There are plenty of catapults, siege towers, ladders, rams, and ships.

It brought the strength that would normally fall with this.

In addition, there is a fire remedy.

"Let's start the siege."

The enemy's siege tower approaches the water moat limit, and the archer shoots an arrow.

Arrows pour like rain.

With this support, an enemy uses a boat to cross a water moat, hang a ladder, and climb the ramparts.

The ship is connected like a bridge, over which an enemy with a fork hammer crosses and attacks the castle gate.

"It's a fierce attack."

Perm leaks, paying attention to the flying arrows.

"But it doesn't fall to this extent. There's a Morijo weapon here."

Almost at the same time as I said, one of the enemy's siege towers was wrapped in white smoke.

Subsequently, the explosion sounded, and the second, third and siege towers were wrapped in white smoke.

"Is it a fire remedy ..."

"Yes, that's right. I'm flying it with a catapult and a barista."

Ismare was very knowledgeable about these weapons besides architecture.

I made it according to her instructions.

I can't reach it with a javelin.

Asked Ismail if they could make a barista if they could make a barista, they returned.

But mass production is impossible.

It doesn't seem very strong.

If you think about it, there is an example of the battle of Clecy. And at the current technology level, you can't make a big deal.

And when mass production is not possible, the advantage of crosshairs is eroded.

Unfortunately, archers do not have any concerns and will not mind.

"But it's not broken."

Ordovis pointed out.

that? It's funny.

"Maybe the magician has a physical barrier with several people!"

In addition, it is hard to burn by covering with cloth or fur that has absorbed water ...

"Do you mean that the enemy generals are thinking properly, but ..."

"Even if you shoot and shoot, you'll climb!"

Gram curses.

Gram is actively shooting and killing enemy commanders, but the enemy's momentum remains unchanged.

The command chain has been taken over ...

It is a highly skilled and sophisticated army.

In addition, enemy soldiers are holding up metal shields, so they can't get stuck. 30% of the arrowheads used here are made of iron, and 70% are made of bronze. This is very difficult.

In other words, it won't be like a battle slave.

In addition, there is no time to fire arrows with confidence because the stones occasionally fly.

"No ... Ron, I'm sorry.

"Okay. I'm tired of dropping rocks and removing ladders."

Ron draws his sword.

Almost at the same time, enemy soldiers climb over the walls ...

"Yes.

Ron slashes enemies with his sword.

The enemy crashed into the water moat in two parts, dyeing the water red.

"Now, it's our turn!"

Ron and others kill the enemies that spring up one after another and drop them into a water moat.

"Dangerous!"

A man flips an arrow that has flown to Ron.

A man who turned over from the Diber family to the As family. It's Joseph.

"Okay, this is a thousand head!" (Are you OK? One thousand head!)

"Yeah, it's okay, but the real intention is reversed?"

Meanwhile, South Gate.

It's a bit pushed here.

"Hmm, the enemy's attack is fierce. It seems like soldiers are concentrated here."

Bartoro drinks the alcohol and drops the jar containing the alcohol onto the head of an enemy soldier.

The enemy soldiers release their hands and cover their heads.

And fall from the ladder.

"It's not when you're drinking. Bartolo-sama."

Boros drops an enemy soldier climbing up while waving his spear.

I am busy.

"The enemy commander has a very disgusting character, too, and there's momentum and a strong youth attacking the middle gate of the middle-aged father, not the commander's north gate."

While saying so, Bartolo skillfully moves and responds to the archer.

There is no waste in his command.

However, there is a limit to what can be covered by conducting.

One after another, soldiers cross the water moat and rise up the ramparts.

It is a rather bad situation.

"I can't help it. I'll use a new weapon from Almus here."

Boros asks twenty soldiers to bring the barrel.

Twenty men turn their barrels down and to the soldiers climbing the ramparts.

"Release!"

A flame erupted from the tube.

A soldier who eats the flames crashes while burning quickly.

The soldiers, who are surprised by the sudden fire, release their hands from the ladder as if surprised and fall.

The ladder burns with the flame and falls into the water moat while burning.

The ladder sinks into the water moat while raising the steam.

"Well, it's amazing. I guess it's a flame tube? The one who made this is a genius. Ismare-san?"

"Thank you for your compliments. Bartolo"

The tetra who appeared in the meantime answers.

"No, no, it's dangerous. You're a magician. This is a quiet place ..."

Five fireballs emerge around the cane of Tetra.

Five fireballs exploded on the face of an enemy soldier just looking through the wall.

"I'm sorry. I was wrong."

"Good"

Bartolo asks Tetra again.

"What is that structure?"

"Easy. Mix black powder and olive oil and blow it out in a magic circle that creates the magic of the wind. Cut the magic circle of fire first. That is because the flame is always out of the cylinder due to the wind, so it does not ignite the fuel inside, but when the magic circle of the wind is cut, the flame reverses and explodes. "

"Hie ... a scary weapon."

Nevertheless, the visual fear of the flame tube is quite depressing, and the enemy soldiers are out of tune.

Gradually, it becomes dominant, and the number of soldiers who climb the walls decreases.

"Well, the downside is poor fuel economy?"

"Is that a short range?" That's hard to use except in Kagogi.

As they talk, they cut through enemy soldiers.

The day ended without any particular movement.

"What is the loss?"

Tonino listens to the report and sighs big.

Then he lowered the soldier who came to report.

"It's a big loss."

Carlo says while drinking wine.

"It is absolutely"

This time, he lost many archers along with the siege tower. He died and was killed together with the siege tower.

Archery is a special skill, has a long training period, and is difficult to match.

"It looks like that fire-blowing cylinder is a hassle."

"That's a foul. The soldiers were scared because of this ..."

However, there is no rule that war flames should not be used.

"Isn't it better to change your strategy?"

Carlo anxiously tells Tonino.

Tonino shook his head.

"No, I do not change my policy. No problem. There is still plenty of time. If the enemy soldiers are strong ... I just get tired."

"Deads and injuries ... not bad numbers, taking that attack into account."

My voice contains a little joy.

It's unscrupulous, but there is no dead in the village where he was originally.

However, I brought only 12 out of 27 people.

Six of those twelve have been assigned to the role of coordinating soldiers as assistants under Ron and Gram, and the remaining six are escorted by me and Tetra, so it is difficult to die in the first place ...

I want you to see this kind of favor more.

In other words, losing them as government officials and commanders makes their territorial management unrecognizable, so they do the same without special emotions.

"Well, tonight I'm going to serve a small amount of alcohol ... Perm, what do you think?"

"Isn't it good? I'm not very familiar with the war ... but I need to speed up."

"I also agree. It's the first day. It must be glamorous at first."

Bartolo also agreed.

"You just want to drink ..."

Tetra complains to Bartolo.

But Tetra doesn't seem to have any complaints either.

Others also agree.

"What about Gram and Ron?"

When I ask them, they shake their heads.

"I think it's good to serve sake ... I agree, but I should stay vigilant."

"Everyone was drunk after being attacked at night."

That's a good opinion.

"So, let's watch out for some people who have a weak drink and can't drink and those who have lost in the lottery.

Adernia wines have very low alcohol content.

Don't worry about getting drunk unless you drink like a bath.

"So let's break up for today."

Thus, the first day passed.

"Night attack!"

I was beaten by a soldier.

"It's exactly what Ron and Rosward said."

I head to the scene in a hurry.

"Hmm, I don't know the number."

"It looks like I'm trying to put out the bonfire so that you don't know the number. In other words, there are few enemies and the purpose is not to let you sleep."

Ordobiss mutters while stroking his beard.

"Or are you trying to pretend to be so serious ... let's divide the soldiers in half. Let's sleep half and let the other half respond."

If the enemy's attack is too intense, just wake up half.

However……

"I don't think you can sleep so much."

I sighed.
