Episode 303 Gimari Tactical 2
May 5, 7451
He came to Debuken, the capital of the Central Dart (Earl of Dressler), to declare his possession, sometimes accompanied by the Knights of the Earls, and it took him quite some time to reach the vicinity of the village of Gimari.
It is time for lunch.
Incidentally, I came from Darbin village through Tancool village and Kincaid village, but I have two attendants accompanying me as a guide from the troops stationed in Kincaid village.
Originally, the villages of Tancool and Kinkade were part of the Kingdom of Daybus, so it was between Darbin and Tancool that it had difficulty moving, but there was not as much difficulty as initially due to repeated round-trip of heavy troops and replacement personnel.
To tell you the truth, there is a road from Kinkade village to Gimari village, so if you just want to go to Gimari village, you don't even need to show me the way.
However, the current village of Gimari is a good place to be on the front lines if you think of it as the Kingdom of Daybus, and we know that many scouts are sent to Denan and Kincaid villages at the outpost.
I just had to adjust my departure time or follow a different path to avoid being captured by that scout.
"Ten more minutes, and I think you'll see the farmland of Gimari."
I nodded at the report of the attendant and stopped the line from moving forward.
The current location is in a deep forest, 100 meters from the road connecting the villages of Kincaid and Gimari.
At the same time, we had a small pause and had a final meeting.
Everyone including Andersen, the old Black Topaz, and the current Slaughters.
In addition to them, I will be accompanied by a Lion (Lios) man who says he is the most rigid of the Knights of Dressler.
It's just me and Lios, and Andersen and the others are a luxurious escort.
"All right, let's go."
After finishing the meeting and having a light lunch, she stood up and said.
"I'll serve you."
Andersen stood up.
It is a walking distance from here to the village.
From the residence of the village, it moved to a position almost to the east.
On the other side is a road that leads further east to a village called Daclis.
This road crossed just now.
Right here.
It is only about 10 meters away from its current position to the eastern end of the cultivated land.
Looking at the village from the shade of trees and grass leaves, it seems to be good that there are no serfs around here.
Those who work nearest are also close to 100 meters from here.
Moreover, this east side still seems to be underdeveloped, and closest to the settlement than the others.
About 500 meters?
The village of Gimari has a roughly circular settlement, but the cultivated land is slightly distorted and only the eastern part of the settlement is considerably narrower.
The guidance attendant was right.
Oops, I can't even relax much.
The longer it takes, the more likely it is that the knights who are looking after the horses will be found.
"All right, let's do it. Everybody ready?"
When I asked him quietly, he replied that there was no problem.
Scrape the grass apart, approach the edge of the cultivated land, and gaze carefully around.
... no abnormalities.
There's Vix with a big shield right behind me.
Looking back for a moment, he nodded and looked at the cultivated land.
Spring sown wheat has already sprouted and grown leaves, but its height is still more than 20 cm.
It is not so high that it can be hidden.
Step forward a little while crushing the sprouts and reach for the sky with your right hand.
Vix, who had a big shield next to me, stood back and floated his heel so that anyone who flew in with an arrow could immediately jump out and take it.
"Hmm!!"
I used the magic of the land with all my heart.
Of course, to build a high altitude with a lot of dirt.
A height of about 30 m was built in about 10 seconds, and it was installed in front of me.
Of course, they make stairs in front of them so it's easy to climb, so it's nearly 100 meters from here to the top of the plateau, but that's calculated.
I heard a scream like a serf I just saw, but Vix started running up without thinking about it.
I will follow him.
I was followed by footsteps of some of the people on the street who jumped out of the woods.
Breathe up and gaze at the surroundings from above the hill.
Around the cultivated land, I saw people looking up at us and screaming something or pulling their hips out.
Some clever people have already rushed to their quarters without shaking their eyes.
In addition, there appeared to be some people in the settlement who noticed this high ground, and they saw them screaming and running.
Then, as expected, I was able to see the other side of Gimari village's settlement.
I'm glad I made it a little higher.
Yeah, this won't be a problem.
When I stretch my palm again towards heaven, I concentrate.
Of course I use magic.
Obviously, but it's time to use it on Max level.
In the meantime, as long as you can surround the residence area, it's about 5 meters tall and the shape is fine.
But there is a gap in the shape of C (it is made to the south from the residence, and to the left from my perspective.One of the reasons is that there is a path to another village on the Daybus).
... no, can I just make the cut thin enough?
... and keep the height down to about two meters.It's easy to understand that.
Fly a huge circle of simple soil toward the settlement.
It seems that almost everyone who appeared on cultivated land and stayed in the camp was taken aback by the horrible sight that suddenly appeared.
I can't help it, but it seems that few people have noticed magic - and thought they were attacked - and they're all looking up at the circle of dirt.
Some of the people who were just inside the camp noticed us and shouted something out loud and ran away somewhere.
And by quickly surrounding the residence with earthen walls, both inside and outside the residence were in a panic situation.
Soldiers and residents who are believed to have been stationed in the camp are turning to the right and left, and those who were indoors are out loud and smashing their livers.
I don't know if the people who were on the cultivated land were afraid of us, or if they were simply aiming for a place of residence covered in earthen walls, but no one came near.
I used the magic of the land again on my buttocks.
Now that we have some time to spare, let's make it a slightly brittle stone such as slate or limestone.
As for the reinforcement of the earth wall just now, the thickness at a height of about 10 m... is enough to reinforce the outside of the earth wall in one shot.
Probably about seven to eight meters.
Because it is troublesome, it does not imitate the pile on the earth wall that was first put out.
I just stuck it right outside the earth wall.
However, the C-shaped notches were properly aligned.
And since I flew a little slowly, there was plenty of time for the slave who was stuck to the earth wall to flee, so I don't think there are any dead yet.
This should make it look like a loess stone wall from the inside of the enclave to the outside.
It will also be seen that there is a gap about 10 m wide in the stone wall only on the south side of the wall.
At this point, there was a panic in the camp.
All the farmers who worked on the cultivated land rushed against the earth wall.
As far as I can tell, no one escaped.
Slave guts all the way to the bone marrow... oh, so many of my family and relatives are in the camp.
None of them seem to have paid attention to the C-shaped notch outside the settlement yet.
There, the height is about two meters, but the thickness is about twenty centimeters, so if you don't mind, farming tools can collapse quickly.
Next, start building walls on either side of the C-shaped gap.
This is also a slightly brittle stone like slate to finish in as few times as possible, rather than saving magic.
I said both sides, but to be precise, we have to start building from the back wall.
The length of this wall extends from the edge of the settlement to the entrance to the southern forest, so it is about 700 meters wide.
The height is about 10 m according to the stone wall just made, and the depth is about 14 to 15 m.
The stone walls surrounding the settlement are the same, but no matter how brittle the limestone is, it can't be broken overnight because it is this thick compared to granite.
Once you have dared to build the back wall, you will now come up with a thin earth wall that would have blocked the C-shaped gap.
From the point of view of the place of residence, it seems to be a series of sheets.
……
Yeah, I made multiple walls with a height of 2 m and a thickness of 20 cm and a width of 10 m so that comb teeth were growing from the wall made in the back.
This thin earth wall is connected on the bottom surface and molded in one shot.
Since the flying speed was not slowed, several farmers who worked on the cultivated land during the installation process were crushed, but I don't think they were even injured because the thickness of the bottom surface is several cm.
Incidentally, the number of thin earth walls touching the comb teeth is 20 every 30 m.
You realize that only the earthen walls of the slit are still low and thin... oh?I can see people pointing south.
We have to hurry.
Build and place the stone wall in front of you in a bit of a hurry.
Did you know about the earth wall just now? I don't think anyone has been crushed this time.
Looks like there was someone left in the gap between the comb teeth.
If you look from above, it would have looked like a ladder from a C-shaped cut to a comb.
It's been about two minutes since we built this high ground.
In such a short period of time, little can be done in the residence area.
"Phew. Hey, come on."
Orders the mighty Lios who followed him with a long bow.
Lios pulled the arrow tied to the document and fired it at an angle of 45 degrees.
The arrows that were fired glided over the walls that covered the encampment at critical moments.
There was no point in not being noticed, so I slightly shifted the angle while firing a total of ten shots.
Arrows include:
"We'll crush the camp with dirt in exactly three hours.If you save your life, you won't be chased, so run.Although the wall is thinned only on the south side, it is likely to take several dozen minutes to destroy because it is made of multiple pieces.Also, we will not accept any negotiations, including an extension of the departure time.We do not intend to take prisoners in this settlement, nor do we have untapped cultivated land.I am not interested in the food or property that will be left in the settlement.If you understand the contents and leave quietly, set fire to it prominently in the square in the middle of the settlement. "
is written.
To be honest, it won't be impossible to evacuate all of us in three hours, but the destruction of the earth wall will also be manpower and quite difficult.
I don't think I've ever been in line with a serf before, and I can't leave in an orderly manner.
A lot of conscripts try to escape first with a C-shaped slit.
Some will try to put together fire thieves and accumulated property.
I think there are people who will be left behind, such as the elderly and the injured and the sick, if they are there.
But I'm not going to forgive you.
Since I intend to fill only the residential area with the arrival of the time limit, most of them will be able to leave without any problems, and I would like you to run away at best and advertise my (Rombert's) evil behavior.
I wouldn't dare mention my affiliation or name, but personally, I don't think anyone would think it was a Rombert attack.
Now, let's cover the rest of the cultivated land with stones...
Because the Gimari fortress I'm looking for is going to be built on a height of 10 meters.
Several rocks were created and carefully aligned, and as they covered the cultivated land, a fire was seen in the middle of the settlement.
Incidentally, the farmers who were on the cultivated land looked at the flying rocks, and they all pulled themselves into the woods and streets.
Some of them seem to have escaped, but most of them solidified in the back of the road and watched.
Time is running out.
The rock beds were installed from the north in the opposite direction to the C-shaped notch, but only about half of them were buried.
Former Black Topaz (Black Topaz), including Andersen, have barely had a conversation and are just watching my work or watching their surroundings.
Also, there seems to have been quite a panic in the camp, but now almost everyone is in the C-shaped gap passage.
Some of them are still running in the camp, but I intend to bury them over time.
If I show you a sweet face here, it will be difficult in the future.
