Episode 268: Magrad Civil War (8) Carudia Attack

"Let go -"

Ten burning stones and ten oil kettles draw a parabola along with the commander's decree to jump over the city walls and into Carudia City.

A stone destroys a building, a pot breaks and a flame rises.

It slowly comes to an end after a scream and anger that neither the inhabitants nor the enemy soldiers know.

The decree sounds again by the time you think everything has subsided, and the stones and pots fly.

It was such a repetition.

I watched the attack half-heartedly.

In the beginning I was also surrounded by the exaltation of the battle...

"Hey Leopold. I've been on the same offense for three days now, but I don't think it's gonna fall."

After repeated stone-throwing for a while, the bowmen advance and fire arrows simultaneously.

And the infantry brigade approaches with a ladder.

But the enemy naturally fights back, and we stop the attack before it's too much damage.

This has been going on since the siege began.

"I guess. This is 25,000, and the enemy is more than 30,000. The cage side is better than the number of soldiers, so it shouldn't be easy to attack."

"Then why repeat the attack like an idiot?

Celia's cheeks got so soft because she was so sloppy.

"Aww... this was originally"

"We needed time to investigate and prepare and to get our enemies in a defensive position."

"When you're ready for defense, why don't you?"

Myra's milk got so soft because I don't know how to say it.

"Ha... but also the original. Ahhh... you shouldn't touch me so much. The tip gets stiff......"

"The enemy will also be wary of what oddity this one will use at first. We dare to launch a few days of military assault, giving the enemy a textbook defense posture."

"Hmm, so what's happening with fate?

Iridina's ass is so... stiff because I won't tell you sooner. Hey.

"Dear Chieftain, that's my ass"

"Ready. And then we wait for the night to run."

A withdrawal instruction was also given to an ally who was pressing for time as well.

Night

Several soldiers swim through small waterways in the shade of the night.

"... you can't swim in the cold."

I trembled unintentionally, imagining.

"According to information from the woman in the example, this creek is drawn into the city of Carudia through an aqueduct set up to dive the city walls"

There are no castle gates near here, completely different from where we were concentrating our daytime attacks.

Enemy alert is also relatively loose.

The soldiers swam down the creek and watched it a little upstream so we wouldn't find it.

I can't see what's going on with the soldiers in the dark.

"There's surveillance, but is it okay?

It's a waterway that runs into the city.

There are lights on the city walls, and of course there are surveillance soldiers.

"You can't tell from above the city walls if you dive into the water. Besides, they don't break into the city."

It doesn't make much sense to sneak a few soldiers into a place like this away from the castle gate.

"There's only one task for them."

That's what Leopold says and keeps staring into the dark.

That's when one of the soldiers raised his voice to whisper.

On his hands is a rope that had an infiltrated soldier wrapped around his torso, grabbing the other side of it.

"Two pulls in a row three times. It seems to have succeeded."

"Did you do it?"

I'm not the one who said it, Irigina.

She is not suited to a task that lurks her voice.

"Give me instructions to retreat. It'll be ready soon."

Several large barrels have been rolled without placing their hair between them.

A soldier opens the lid of the barrel, lights the ignition line inside, and then lids hard again.

"Time is two minutes and ten seconds. Wait 50 seconds."

Each barrel is packed with ladders and gunpowder.

The cannons were not used in the siege to use all the gunpowder for this operation.

"During the day, I was a little overwhelmed."

During the daylight of sight, he weighed the time to dive under the city walls by dropping barrels that were adjusted to the same weight as the dynamite barrels.

Dropped it off the carriage in the guise of an accidental accident, stuffed with appropriate food inside, but the air around it was heavy when enemy soldiers saw the barrel with a suspicious face.

In the end, the enemy soldiers decided to ignore it as just a falling object.

That's when I found out there was a metal fence in the waterway in front of the city wall.

The soldiers who have now infiltrated sneaked off to remove the fence.

It should be as planned already.

"All right, drop it"

At Leoporto's signal, the barrel is carefully dropped into the creek so as not to sound, and flows slowly.

Looks like the soldier who was just infiltrated was also pulled on the rope and recovered.

Arrows have already been released. The only thing an archer can do is figure out if he's going to hit or not.

Make sure your whole body is geared up again and again in a way that Celia is restless.

Myra slaps a ton of her own hips with her index finger.

Bitman also stood up when he thought he had sat down, staring at the darkness that couldn't possibly be seen sitting again.

A long, long two minutes passed.

Suddenly Zdon and a loud explosion rip through the night sky.

Put down one beat and the same roar several times in a row.

Not long before he cheered, the rattling, vacillating and roaring continued to change the sound.

"Turn on the lights! Fire the arrow!

I don't need to hide anymore.

I yell so I can't beat the roaring noise that keeps ringing, and the soldiers who reacted lit the pine lights at the same time.

Further, countless fire arrows pierced the vicinity of the waterway, and the fruits of the attack floated.

"This is!" "Wow!

Myra and Celia raise their voices.

The city walls collapse to be swallowed by the waterways and do not retain their original form.

The shooter was standing and watchtowers were lost.

"'Cause that's all the gunpowder I packed."

I used all the gunpowder for the cannon.

It would be too sad if it was a soaking explosion.

"No, even snuggling it against the city wall wouldn't have led to a breakdown of the wall. Because it exploded directly beneath a waterway, or wall, diving through a city wall."

You needed a lot of trouble to prepare for that.

"According to further information obtained from the woman in the example, the waterway was planned for expansion, and this part of the city wall had been shredded in the process. The rebellion was stopped before it was completed..."

"Didn't you have time to repair the shredded city walls?

Celia interrupts the conversation with Leoporto.

"The thinned walls collapsed on a wide scale, unable to withstand the impact from below. … the city walls of Carudia no longer serve as fortresses"

Leoporto nods one thing and me and Bitman look each other in the eye.

"All Army Assault. Break into Carudia through the empty hole."

"There are still many enemies even if we break through the walls. This is gonna be a brawl. Mind you!!"

Soldiers on his side storm in a whisper.

The enemy also seems to be trying to cope, but on top of being completely different from where he was under daytime attack, he's suddenly blunt about whether he's upset with a big hole in the city wall.

Allies succeed in entering the city and there may be riot fighting there.

"Archers go into the city and shoot. It's a misfire!

"The cavalry is on the boulevard! I can't move when I get into the alley!

"The enemy's heavily armed infantry is out. You're strong! Hit the elite Fourth Squadron!

Most siege battles will be settled if the castle gate is broken, but this time morale will not break because there are not necessarily any reinforcements on top of the large number of enemies.

And, of course, we mount a fierce offensive to seize the city once and for all.

The result was a brawl in which a large number of soldiers left behind the people in the city.

"An ally is pushing up the front line to create space. Let's get another 2,000 into the city!

"It's a fire in a residential district in the east! It's burning fast!

"An allied cavalry has broken through the boulevard enemy but is under siege from left to right. Reinforcements!"

Everyone below Leoporto is moving around with no rest to the messy reports and orders.

I want to storm, but I can't afford it. If I do it now, Leopold is going to curse me.

The city of Carudia runs through the center with a boulevard and the hall of the enemy's stronghold.

But there are other trails and alleys in the city, like the eyes of a net, and if you don't hold these off and protrude, you'll be immediately surrounded from all directions.

And dotted with homes and shops, these are many places to hide, not all at once.

As a result, small-scale fighting is rife.

Of course, we can't afford to keep residents safe with both enemy allies.

"Use fire arrows for sections with dense enemies. If it's a sea of fire, we can ignore that compartment."

"The inhabitants are fleeing? You know what! Kill them if they're enemies, ignore them if they're not!

"But this..."

Myra breathes.

Soldiers slaughter each other there, and firehands rise.

Run away like you sew between them, residents.

Basically ignored but still dark, many are mistaken for enemies and truncated.

"It's like hell."

Celia was right.

A bright red flame illuminates the dark night, and the sword and scream persist.

"Whatever you do, it won't be settled at once. I don't know."

Schwartz is also irritated. It rings when he wears it.

Even though there is no choice but to wind it up quickly, so many women will die.

Also, multiple orders came running under us.

"Heavily armed enemy knights appear on the boulevard! Allied cavalry has no teeth and infantry defenses are being pushed in! I need reinforcements!

Leopold seems to be thinking of something without changing his expression.

Bitman also looks bitter by checking for allied troops around the main unit.

Is there no unit left that can handle it?

Then Leopold came before me.

Sir Hardlett, it's your turn.

"Finally!

Leoporto continues to be faceless.

"There is an enemy heavy cavalry on the main street. The road on the left and right cannot be bypassed because it is in turmoil. Hit it from the front with a heavy cavalry escort and destroy it."

"Leave it to me!

I jumped on Schwartz and pulled Celia and Irigina forward in a whim......

Stop and look back as you try.

"Hey, normally, I'm the one who ordered your men to go out, right?

"So do you want to take the place?

Leoporto says without looking at this one while issuing one other order after another.

"No, that's not what I'm gonna do."

I had no choice but to take the convoy and the poor in front of the enemy...

Stop and look back again before you go.

"It doesn't matter what you think, after all?

"Please just go. It will stand in the way of command."

They pissed me off.

Certainly not if you're talking in vain. Suppose we go?

I want to believe that the bitman on the side has an unnatural stiff side because the war doesn't allow predictions, and he's not laughing.

Let's go, then.

If it's a collision from the front without small work, there's not much to think about.

Soldiers cheer when they see us.

A brave heavy cavalry only gives its allies courage to stay there.

"There's that, too, but it's because it's Lady Agir."

Celia tells me to clear my ears.

"Sir Hardlett is coming out! Enemy hell begins!

"If there's a war ghost out there, we won the same thing!

"If you were fighting like no other, you'd be offended! Fight them all!

There was something strange about it, but generally morale seems to be rising.

I raise my sword and scream thoughtfully.

"Crush the enemy. Forward!"

"" "Wow -!" "

Not only does the escort lead, but the surrounding allies clamor in unison.

Enemies could have been pushed by that force and the war around them could have gotten a little better.

In front of you, the Knights of the Enemy are in a fierce battle with their allies.

Kick their asses and let Carudia fall.

"Woman would be nice... this kind of blood-burning battle would be nice"

Stick the long sword forward.

"Assault!!

Schwartz rushes and the anger of the two armies bumps into each other.

I felt the burning night sky increased redness even more.
