Episode 352: Southern War ③ Merrisburg Total Attack

We repelled the first attack. We repaired the broken part of the battle while preparing for the next attack.

Those who did not take part in the battle hit the overnight task.

"It hurts a lot out there too... there's nothing you can do about it"

Myra's prepared pitfalls and streetwall reinforced earthbags were also mostly used in the first attack.

"Some defensive weapons are repairable... but the number is reduced"

A small number of large crossbows and very few artillery were also broken.

"Do you want to take off the one sitting east or north and bring it?

Defensive weapons are deployed in all directions due to the nature of protecting the city.

It is securely fixed on the wall so it needs to be removed from the wall, moved and assembled again once and for all to be moved.

It can be described as quite a fool to do this after being attacked.

Realistically, the enemy should come after the west and south that did some damage in the attack, avoiding intact north or east where reinforcements might come.

"I thought it was dangerous."

Leopold, when did you grow up?

"The enemy first hit with a positive attack method, confirming this one's stubbornness. Unless the enemy commander is an extra fool, he will decide that it will take a lot of damage and a long time to attack him with a force push."

"Well, the enemy's purpose would only be tortoise, and it wouldn't be a success to fall this city after a fierce battle"

Leoporto says you're right.

Are you my teacher?

"So the next attack could be an odd one. Defense equipment should be maintained in all directions to avoid losing responsiveness."

"I get it. Then we will."

I'm not going to argue with Leopold about tactics.

There's no woman involved, and you'd better listen to him.

So Myra says.

"Can't you create a circular blank space in front of the gate? I want to make a point of intensive fire just in case it breaks through."

"It's necessary. I suggest you prepare it immediately."

"Mmm."

I agree with Leopold, too.

"Then Lord Hutier will immediately take the necessary action, and Lord Hardlett will… be demolishing several private houses, so I hope to explain them to the Mayor"

"Wait a minute."

What would happen to that mayor if he unilaterally destroyed a citizen's house?

You gonna push me into trouble?

"Then shall I persuade you? Just give me the title of deputy, and I'll be done in a minute."

Secrito grins thinly and strokes his sword.

Stop it, all I see is an extra twisted future.

"Deputy!? You were still after my status!

Celia jumps on Secrito.

But the sharp kick was taken lightly, and he grabbed his leg and made it worldly.

"Get away from me! Yeah, let go!"

Celia manages to kick Secrito by swinging her free one's legs around.

But they also grab your legs and let you open your legs upside down.

"Well, you have a tense ass and white thighs. I want to whip you once."

"No, don't! Open your legs! Fix it!!

"That would be nice, but tomorrow...... no, maybe even tonight I'll come for a night raid. Rest tight."

Just in case, I don't think there's a night raid all of a sudden.

"I am useless. You don't even have to be prepared?

"Don't say that, I'm counting on you if I have to."

Secrito laughs lightly, leaving when he goes to bed already.

"Ugh, I was humiliated in front of Master Agil"

"I'm counting on Celia."

I kissed her on the forehead, and Celia seems to be in a better mood, too, and she leaves lightly.

Well, what kind of battle will it be tomorrow?

Hopefully it will be more interesting than today.

- Early the next morning.

"Hey, we're not talking about this"

"I'm not talking about it."

Yeah, get your fried feet off me.

"The enemy force is 30,000, isn't it? Whatever you think, there's 50,000 of them."

"Must have increased during the night"

Do you ever get more popcorn like that goblin?

"In any case, the enemy has become fifty thousand. We have no choice but to abandon the tactic of preventing enemy offenses, seeing opportunities and launching into the field...... You will continue to fight Cage Castle until your enemies give up or become defenseless."

Leopold, calm down.

Although, if this guy was going right and left with tears, I'd have trouble with that.

I was a little laughable and calm when I imagined it.

"Well, why don't you start complaining about the increase? So, even if it's 50,000, can you prevent it?"

"No problem. There is a limited number that can be put to the front in siege warfare in the first place. No matter how much more troops, just more hindsight won't change your attack."

At that time, I hear a grunt of earthquake from the enemy formation.

Perhaps the enemy commander inspired the soldiers.

They have a really high morale.

I want you to be a little more depressed because I got rid of you yesterday.

"Coming! Citizens evacuate to the center, soldiers deploy!

The alarm rings like crazy, and the military shoes step on the ground.

"Coming from the west and south at the same time!

"Confirm three broken castle hammers to the south!

"Numerous enemy soldiers from the west! You can see countless ladders!

There he is.

West and south, seems to come only with a positive approach.

"There are also a few enemy soldiers on the north side - building a simple position just soiled"

Celia twists her neck.

"Are you wary of this one striking out?

Maybe he's exploring whether Merisburg has any weaknesses.

They're twitching back the dirt to create an easy position, but they can't even afford to go out of their way and beat it.

"I don't know what it is, but the west and south are our top priorities now. We'll do something about the north later. Shall we go wild today?"

"No. Stay with us today."

Celia stands firmly beside me.

Depends, of course.

The attack first struck an arrow, as it did yesterday, followed by an attack with a large crossbow and a catapult.

Speaking of differences, the cannon is not being used this time.

"Again, is the enemy going to keep the cannon warm thinking about the next?

"Maybe."

But they can't move on from here.

"Watch Myra in the west. South is Leoporto."

"" Ha!

At least not while I'm here.

The first enemy soldier arrived was on the west side.

"Enemy soldiers will be dispersed on one side of the city wall!

Myra nods small at the watch report.

No broken castle hammer has come to the west.

"You're going to get over the wall directly. 'Cause the western part has a broken castle hammer rolling in front of the gate yesterday."

"But if you're just trying to get over on the ladder, it's no different than yesterday."

I couldn't do it yesterday.

Even though the number has increased, the number attached to the wall remains unchanged.

"First we will do everything we can to prevent the current attack - make the arrow a fishing bottle shot. Do not hesitate to shoot me!

A brave hanging voice came from my side as well.

"Stand by - shoot!

Archers lined up against the walls unleash arrows simultaneously.

There are enemies everywhere in front of us, so we don't need the 'aim' decree.

"No matter how many of us are together, drop the lead and it'll all fall!

Crossbowmen, as opposed to archers, aim precisely at enemies climbing the ladder.

Even the enemy soldiers, who received a powerful bolt from above, fall irresistibly, and so do the subsequent soldiers.

"Throw stones at those who are free of hand! Even if the stones are gone, there's a lot going on!

Soldiers without bows or crossbows also throw off prepared stones and other things.

"Son of a bitch!

"What the hell... you think it's radishes? Are you kidding me!?

Throw broken water bottles in dead vegetable pots, even rotten vegetables, uncleanly.

Trash can't kill enemies, but it still hurts when you hit it.

The speed at which you climb the ladder will drop because you are concerned about the overhead, and the crossbow soldiers who aim from the bottom will lack the accuracy of the attack.

"How about this one!

Few oil kettles are thrown down there.

Fire ignites and burns in various trash thrown around, interfering with enemy soldiers' approach.

"Damn it! Focus the arrowballs over there and needle the guards!

Of course the enemy is not silent.

Arrow rain and crossbows concentrate where the allies unleashed the arrows.

"Hide yourselves!

But there are thick stone defensive walls on the city walls.

Hide yourself there and you won't get hit so easily.

"Wow!!

Turning his gaze to the scream, an iron bullet smashed about four allies per defensive wall.

"Well, if Catapult's iron bullet hits, I'll have to give it up."

There's nothing you can do about a high-powered iron bullet that draws parabolas and falls from heights.

That said, it's only a matter of luck to hit it because it's not exactly a weapon you can aim for.

An iron bullet falls into the city after making a noise with Zdon.

Many things fly out of sight like this.

"Hih!

"Ugh!"

Only Marta and Keith, commonly known as the Seventh Corps Commander of the Royal Army, raised their voices.

"... oh, sorry"

"I don't mind. If you fall over my head, I'll take care of it."

Marta doesn't have to be accustomed to the battlefield and can threaten as much as she wants.

She blushes and grabs my sleeve properly.

That's the look on my face that would shake me if I got my roots out here right now.

"... sorry. I've never been shot in a catapult before."

Keith looks fine. Look at Myra and Celia's face and fix the collar of her military uniform looking bad.

Maybe Keith has no experience of being attacked up close.

"That was close! Apple......"

Irijina is tummy ready to go.

Talk while you eat and you'll fly.

"Leoporto, what's going on in the south?

A watch screams before Leopold answers.

"The second broken castle hammer is on fire! Plus the enemy attack on the right is frustrating!

Leoporto does not yell but orders pale.

"Archers aim at soldiers trying to extinguish the fire. The other soldiers pull over to the left, and the next one comes from the left."

Sounds fine.

Instead, it seems to be doing better than on the west side, with Myra looking remorseful.

Don't worry, if I have to, I'll climb the city wall again and push you back.

"Mm!"

Celia grabs my sleeve.

How did you find out?

Enemy attacks gradually increased in intensity, as did the wounded soldiers on his side.

Of course he would be inflicting more damage on the enemy than that, and he wasn't even boarded up, but just as the soldiers see the colour of fatigue.

"Huh!? Enemy attack stopped… pull from west wall, south wall"

"What?"

I thought it was time to shake Celia and get out.

"You couldn't stand the damage?

Squirting was immediately denied.

"The damage to the enemy must be 2500 - just five minutes from 50,000... there can be no stopping the attack"

"That's a replacement for the rear unit. Instead, please understand that the intermittent attacks so far are aimed at this exhaustion, and that the full-scale attacks begin here."

Leopold's watchful voice rises within his unending words.

It's a much more pressing voice than ever before.

"The enemy is moving on a massive scale! South to west...... no it's north! We're moving north!

"North?

Suddenly it feels disjointed from the north after a concentrated attack to the west and south.

It just feels odd that I've been attacking you in a positive way so far.

Leoporto is also skipping instructions to gather information on the lookout.

I know, it was unexpected.

"The west is damaged by a few city walls and defensive installations. If we're going to launch a total offensive, I think it's west."

Myra also looks strange.

But we're not the ones choosing where to attack, so we have to intercept them if they're coming.

"Leaving a minimal number of soldiers to concentrate on the north side. Will the Great Crossbow be repositioned in time?

Myra shakes her head.

I guess, if you can't and you get into battle while you're working, it's tough, so let's stop it.

Leopold looks difficult.

"Leoporto, you got something?

"I was handling it as a matter of possibility, but now I'm going to do my best"

Oh, my God. Well, I'll take care of it.

"Then you take command of the whole thing, and I'll step forward"

"Ahhh!

I rush north into the gap where Celia's attention flashes around me.

You're adorable to rush after me.

"Ooh! I'm out again!

The soldiers scream when they see me climbing the city wall.

Don't say it like you saw a monster.

"What's going on with the enemy?

"That's the infantry and the broken castle hammer all the way back, and it doesn't look like they're going to set it up any time soon."

That's odd.

We moved north because of this. What are we stumbling on, though, that this one would be better attacked before we get in shape?

So there's a gap in the enemy formation, and something slowly appears that looks heavy.

I accidentally pound my tongue.

"Big cannon... were you waiting for this guy"

Its size is not such a substitute that it can be moved by a few of the people the enemy has been using.

The wheeled one that showed up pulled by a horse. That's a long shell, too, and seems powerful to see.

"Enemy cannons are on top of the position... no, was that prepared as a cannon seat from the beginning"

"1... 2... 3... 8 Gates, Ko, this is not good"

The enemy pulls up a cannon on a soiled pedestal.

If you look closely, you are leaning against the pedestal and slightly upward facing the shell.

At that angle, the target is not the gate, but the top of the city wall we protect, or are we going to shell the city directly?

"We have other cannons lined up around the large cannons! About 20 gates in total!

"Catapults have also begun to assemble!

Laughter leaks by accident.

The enemy had no intention of keeping the cannon warm.

What didn't use the cannon in the first attack was to slap it all together on the north wall in a total attack.

"That's funny."

"Hey, Lord Hardlett, you're laughing."

"I can see... you've got a lot of ass"

I grip Celia's ass a little harder, then I grip the spare short spear.

Before I got shot, I wanted to let you go from here with one arrow.

But I'm a bad bow and I might fly back, so I'll keep it as a spear.

Strengthen the muscles throughout your body and breathe heavily.

"Whoa!!!

Roar like a beast and throw a spear.

"Ahhh! And the savage Agil is lovely... oh my underwear..."

The spear flew with an arrow-like momentum pulled with a strong bow and pierced the chest of an enemy soldier who was preparing the cannon.

I'm looking at this one with a face that says the enemy soldiers around me can't believe it.

It's a little far to the bow range, too.

It flew well with me.

"Now we'll multiply it a hundred times and come back. Be ready, all of you. Celia's behind me."

A small laugh leaks from the soldiers on your side that is neither bitter nor evil.

Celia was also slapping her cheeks and putting her temper back on, but her eyes were swinging at me.

Looks like Marta and Celia will be able to compare holes side by side once they outnumber the attack.

And the shelling begins.

The entire city wall swayed just moments after the gunfire.

"Wow!!

"Ghaaaa!

A soldier hiding himself on the defensive wall falls apart and blows away.

A shell that plundered the top of the city wall takes the upper body of two archers.

In addition, the fragmented ally is covered in blood and falls into the city.

A deviant shell falls into the city and collapses a stone private house with one blow.

"Awesome power!

Hold Celia in with her head up.

Did you fail to bring him here, or should you have let him stay in the main unit?

This is followed by one small cannon bullet after another.

This is not a stone wall power either.

Every time you land a bullet, you scream and several allies smash away.

The detached shells also draw parabolas and pour down into the city.

Unlike fire arrows, shells can't be helped.

"We'll fight back. Shoot him with a big crossbow!

It's a long way from a bow range, but it can't be targeted from a big crossbow.

But Daiya and the shell have too much power.

Even if this attack hits, it will kill a few artillery, but enemy fire will crush this great crossbow to pieces.

Short shootings destroyed most of the great crossbows and left them completely shot.

"Is it still going on..."

"Damn... every city wall collapses and falls..."

When this happens, the soldier's morale falls rapidly.

Feels like I saw it. The enemy's big guns are powerful, but we need to get closer to smashing down the city walls.

If we get any closer, we'll get these arrows too, so it won't be that easy.

Besides, if you're shooting at this pace, the number of gates you can shoot with a broken or distorted cannon should be reduced soon.

But that doesn't make any sense to the soldiers today.

"Whether you're crying, angry or asleep, when you hit it, you hit it. Keep your head down and remember when you held a woman."

"Wow! Please don't touch my butt as I say!

As the soldiers around me crawl, I stroke Celia's ass, letting her lie down standing alone.

With the roar, shells fall nearby and fragments fly.

My cheeks are slightly cut, but there is no such thing as this.

"Wow... Sir Hardlett has no fear?

I know it's settled, but I hope it doesn't fly this way.

"I'm a virgin, how can I..."

You know, I wish I could whore and offend a woman I admire in my head.

"I remember you."

"Me too, buddy."

Yeah, don't look at me.

I'm not taking a bath in front of you anymore.

That's not to say morale, but it seems somewhat distracted.

As we endured like tortoises, shelling suddenly stopped.

The soldiers had a face of relief, but not a reassuring situation.

"Face them all up. The enemy is coming!

Before I finish, I hear a whisper from the enemy line.

"Attack begins -!!"

"Assault -!!"

My enemies are approaching me in unison, raising my voice so loud that my commanders and I can't even get through the roar.

It spreads to the north side and pushes over.

It was the way it was ever attacked with a big shield at the head and an infantry at the back going on.

"Are there any large crossbows left to use?

"No! Most of the defensive walls have also been destroyed!

You've lost quite the advantage of the wall.

Defenders have no choice but to defend themselves directly.

"Then we'll have to do it ourselves. If you win, I'll get you a good woman for the reward."

Draw out the long sword and place a short spear on your left hand.

"Come Sora."

I'll throw the spear.

The archers of the allies unleashed arrows at the same time to signal it.

"Wow!" "Bye!

"Don't stop your legs! This fight, for His Majesty Wilhelmina!

The spear pierces the commander on the horse and the arrows defeat the soldiers around them one after the other.

But the enemy archers also fight back.

Shooting each other is not as overwhelming an advantage for the allies as it has been since the defensive wall was almost lost.

A small number of allies are shot by arrows or fall.

"The damage is too great! It has the advantage of heights, but it is overwhelmed by numbers!

Slap down an arrow approaching the screaming Celia with a long sword.

I hit one on my shoulder in the meantime but thanks to the dragon armor it only took a little shock.

Speaking of which, I feel the texture of this armor is similar under the scale of the pouch.

Well, I guess it's my fault. Let's think so.

"I'm shooting and losing! We can't stop the enemy!

Six times we shot each other with arrows, our allies' shooting weakened.

There were many casualties in the archers, which prevented a unified simultaneous fire.

"Get the wounded dead off the wall and call for backup."

Space on the wall is limited.

The dead can't fight, of course. The injured are in the way.

"Reserve units are already standing by downstairs at Mr. Leopold's direction."

"He's ready and disgusting the other way around... you don't have to be able to shoot unified. Anyway, shoot more than one."

With reinforcements in, the allies regain momentum and start shooting at each other again with their enemies.

But enemy attacks don't end with artillery and arrows alone.

Infantry pops up as the leading large shield cracks left and right.

But their tactics were different than before.

"Enemy infantry approaching the wall - they have no weapons! We're going to build up the earthen sac."

"... I see that's why you were digging dirt in the north"

We were doing this on the north side to create a cannon seat that angles the cannon, while at the same time making the dirt we dug back into and piling it up.

It's easy to climb the wall with a ladder, but if you get kicked down, that's it.

Loading up the ear sac takes time and is exposed to arrows for a long time, so the damage is greater, but it is not easy to break down the piled ear sac once, so I can definitely push the defensive side.

"The enemy is serious, after all."

"Archers, aim for the infantry! Don't let it load!

Celia barks, but the archers shoot each other with enemy archers, so they can't target the infantry as best they can think.

Those who do not have bows also throw down prepared stones, but they cannot be stopped.

"First team complete, retreat!

"Team two forward, team three on standby."

The enemy soldiers approach the wall over the corpses of their allies, and the earthbags pile up more and more.

"Enemy shelling has resumed!

"… is the ally at this distance"

With the shelling resuming, we're losing our heads.

But at the same time, less precise artillery falls over the heads of enemy infantry approaching the walls.

"Ghaaaa!

"Don't be afraid! Sacrifice for victory. Believe in the Empire and Your Majesty and push on!

The enemy infantry has been temporarily confused, but will soon regain their posture.

"Attacks from allies and other morale are about to collapse. This is tough."

The morale and readiness of enemy soldiers is considerable.

This is unlikely to pull off even if it damages a little or softly.

"Yes...... I didn't think this far"

Celia also swallows sauce and spit.

Apparently, we're not going to be able to stop it.

"Archers get down below the wall. The infantry has stopped throwing stones, have something to gain."

I feel signs that the soldiers are breathtaking.

I had no choice but to give an order for the premise of being boarded.

Being able to cross walls by enemies in cage castle warfare is generally not a very promising development.

You need a little follow up.

"Don't worry. I'm better at slashing and poking than throwing stones at each other."

Didn't you know? and stroke Celia's ass as she said.

"So please don't stroke my ass! Because the 'poking' part will be misunderstood by the soldiers!

Some of Celia's cute screams leak a slight laugh.

That's fine, I'm fine inside laughing and fighting.

The loss of this counterattack also stops enemy artillery fire and piles up soil sacs at once.

The dirt wall finally reached the same height as the city wall.

"We're entering Merrisburg! This battle is our victory - whoops!!

"Thanks for that."

A long sword pierces the throat of a commander-like man who came aboard with a sword raised and a loud voice raised.

Rotate your torso, chop off your neck, and kick the body down.

"How dare you, Squadron Commander!

Jump the protruding spear from the bottom and break it from the top of your head to your groin, contrary to your sword.

An enemy soldier halfway down the slope as he drops all the contents onto a dirt sac hill.

"Not residents but welcome"

"You!

Sink and dodge the lateral slaughter and pierce your belly to protrude from the bottom.

Throw it straight up and slam your body diagonally in the air, listening to the scream that quenches your cheers.

A fountain full of bright red impurities poured all around him.

"Welcome to Merrisburg"

I'll turn bright red from head to foot and laugh at the enemy soldiers.

"What the..."

"The captain and the deputy captain are falling apart... it's him"

The movement of the enemy soldier who was about to climb along with the sound of his voice stops perfectly.

Hmm, that's what made it worth it to shower stinking blood from your head.

Wasteful brutal killing is not a hobby, but it will have the effect of lowering enemy morale and inspiring allies.

"Was Lord Hardlett a monster after all?"

"There are rumors that war ghosts eat people if they don't fight for a long time."

Hey, we did this to favor our allies.

Why are you threatening me?

Fight now.

We can't say it's huge. Enemy allies enter on the wall and start a turbulent battle.

My allies are also firmly on their feet as to whether it was a good idea to frustrate my feet and put my breath aside.

"Get rid of them! Don't let him in the city!

"Beyond here, it's our win, push it through at all costs!

White soldier battles that kill each other with swords and spears are more where I want them.

A middle-aged soldier slashes me.

"You were the one earlier! Just in time for my spear rust..."

"I can't do that"

Because from your shoulder up there is already the universe.

"You can't chase us down anymore! The hills have already been built."

A young gutsy looking man sticks out a short spear.

"Oh well."

Play the spear with a shield and jump into your nostrils, kicking it off thoughtfully.

The man stuck his head through one of the few remaining defensive walls and died.

"That's a lot when you get straight to it!

Run into the four new enemies who climb.

On the first, he thrust his sword in the momentum of an ambush, hitting it as it were and bouncing it off.

On the second, he returns it to the slap of the swing down with the slap of the swing up, slapping each sword in the face.

The third man defended, so he slashes off his right hand on each shield with a blow from the upper section, and also crushes his left hand with a shield before kicking it.

The fourth person slipped and fell on the corpse at his feet, so he grabbed his head and protruded forward.

"Guh! Guh! Ooh! Ho!

I have a few dull responses.

The crossbow bolts that were after me pierced the fourth person one after the other.

You killed your allies after you missed me, and the Crossbow soldiers are upset.

"All right, come get your revenge"

Throw the body at a crossbow soldier.

The body plunges into a brilliant formation, crushing the two crossbow soldiers with their armored bodies to fulfill their main nostalgia.

The other three tried to escape...

"Gha!" "Gha!" "Giggle!

A dagger pierced his eyes, side head and neck, respectively, and collapsed.

Celia is nodding OK......

"Not good!

He rushes and punches Celia's face with a long sword.

"Hih!"

There were three short sounds and three knives thrown at Celia's face.

"Shit!"

What do you do to my sweet Celia?

When I followed the source, he was a little boy about 150 cm tall.

"I didn't expect to see through this Cheyenne Pern throw with a knife from the war!

The little guy looks like a monkey because he's also thin when he's in shape and moves restlessly.

"Hmm, a street performer who just throws a knife looks great - guh!

A knife stabbed to death between the eyebrows of an ally soldier who cursed the little man.

"Strength says things on the battlefield! I know it's a street show, but you just have to defeat the enemy!

"Exactly. Let's go."

I shake my sword ignoring the little man's reaction.

"Hmm, something decent meeting with a big guy like you! Keep your distance."

Thoughtfully throwing gravel and pebbles in his left hand where the little man cleverly turned and tried to back off.

I grabbed it while he was wasting his time talking.

The walls are damaged or broken.

"Ukkie!?

The little man was lucky to have his head on this one at the end of his retreat, and he got the pebble decently in his face.

I can see blood gushing out of my nose and my teeth breaking and flying.

"Keeky, coward!

"Mm?"

I tried to stab him in the stomach, but he slipped his own hand and fell off the city wall.

What was that? That guy.

"All right, one more step!

"Damn it! Don't let them take the stairs, they're absolutely dead!

There are enemies approaching the stairs descending into the city.

It's more important than a monkey man.

Jump into a place where enemy allies are doughed.

"Crawl if you're on my side"

Build up your long sword with your hips and then flank it to the side with all your might.

"Wow!"

"Hii!"

"Huh?"

"Is this my leg?

"The world's turned upside down, huh?

The allies manage to crawl and succeed in dodging, and the enemy flips with eight people cut from their hips upwards.

"What are you doing? Push back."

Take on the shoulder a long sword that is already covered in blood from the tip of the sword to the pattern.

The soldiers rush up screaming that they don't know is cheering or screaming.

Now I'm like, 'They're gonna kill me!' There would have been a guy screaming.

Your commander, there's no reason to kill him.

For now, we're stopping the intrusion into the city, but the earthbags keep piling up, and the number of enemies grows as we can climb two or three.

"Should this go down to the city once?

Leoporto and Myra are just quick to respond, and if you look at the city, a simple barricade has already been built, with the backpacked infantry in place, and you can see the cavalry deployed on the main street.

Though it's not going to fall that easy when you get into it.

"No...... I think it should stick. Because entering the city can cause a dramatic drop in morale."

Celia objected, but on the contrary I'm happy with its growth.

"Hehe, I get it. Why don't we stick together a little bit?"

When he rearranges his long sword, the messenger screams.

"All hands, take the shield toward the city and set up a defensive system!

"Huh?"

"What are you talking about?

It also makes no sense to turn your back on the enemy in front of you and your shield on the city.

The soldiers on my side are not trying to obey at all.

"Defensive attitude toward the city -!"

But when I stared, I was screaming from the city to Myra.

I don't know what that means, but if you're talking about Myra, do you believe me?

"Everybody, a defensive system for the city. Don't complain, just do it!

When I yell, the soldiers rush to do exactly that.

This is a gift of hope and benevolence.

"No, I think it's fear"

I'll put Celia's cheeks around later.

"What are these guys, out of their minds?

"Maybe the commander went mad. Do it while you can!

An ally who turns his back on an enemy is naturally slashed as good as an enemy.

But the unilateral killing did not continue.

"Bow cavalry, full siege! Shoot the arrow!

A shock runs on a shield directed at the city, with countless screams coming from enemy soldiers behind it.

The creepy sound of not knowing if it is the wind-cut sound of an arrow or the cry of an unknown monster, and the sound of an arrow hitting a shield, continue.

"The bow cavalry has shot! Every one of us!

The bow cavalry did not appear in the Battle of Cage Castle, and most of the 4,000 horsemen were kept warm.

I thought you were on the boulevard in preparation for the city entry, but if you look good, it's parallel to the north wall.

Was Myra going to do this from the start?

"Don't move your shield. Give up if they slash you off your back. If you get away badly, you're a needle rat on the spot."

The allies get as small as possible and hide in the shadow of the shield, and the bow cavalry releases arrows in a row from next to next.

Celia doesn't have a shield, so I'll hang her in my cape and hold her.

"It's a huge number!

"That's right. Four thousand in one shot."

Bow cavalry has a high accuracy in hitting, but the continuous firing speed is not comparable to that of a concurrent archer.

It would be a hell of a firing speed if we prioritized sequential firing, like this one.

"Besides, he's after you."

There are far more arrows that capture enemies than arrows that hit an ally's shield.

The opposite should be true given the positional relationship, but is this also due to the exceptional arms of the bow cavalry?

The enemy, who was about to sweep his defenseless allies, was instead to receive an arrow defenselessly.

Thousands or tens of thousands of arrow storms happen to sweep enemies off the city walls.

"Attack troops beyond the walls collapse! Unable to maintain offense!

"Retreat! Retreat!

The enemy retreats as the tide draws.

I'd say it's a harder decision to stick with in this collapsed situation.

"Injured men to the city, raise reinforcements."

"The earthworm cannot be removed. Build up the burning stuff and light it with oil. It'll be a shame."

That's just the Royal Army Eirich trained.

I immediately started making the right moves.

I'd rather not talk badly here.

Well, a paragraph... didn't go with.

"We are approaching the castle gate on the north side of the broken castle hammer! Contact!!"

Unlike a cannon, a roar rang and the castle gate swayed.

Was there also an attack at the gate while this one was in turmoil?

"The castle gate will be broken!!

A blunt metal noise sounds, and the iron gate shatters and slowly falls into the city.

"Over here in the future"

I run down the city wall.

If you look at it, Myra was even coming to a position that was rapidly built in front of the castle gate.

The gates have been breached.

"It's okay."

Myra smiled small.

"We're entering the city!

"Kick your enemies! It's time to show our strength."

Unlike the earthbag hills you have to climb with your hands, if the castle gate opens, the enemy is free to jump in.

Even the cavalry will be able to get into it while walking sick.

But Myra settles down and raises her hand high.

"Destroy them!

A space that demolishes private houses and is semi-circular in front of the castle gate.

Daiya flew in unison from 80 tanks lined up to stare at the castle gate.

"Ugh!

"Duh!

"What the hell is that carriage!?

The castle gate in Merisburg is wide.

But even if it's huge, the castle gate is a small space.

There's nothing you can do if Daisei concentrates where he jumped out of it.

"I thought tanks were for field use only, but they're easy to operate in defensive combat."

Big crossbows take a lot of work to install and disassemble, so you can't handle them if the enemy moves quickly.

But tanks that can move while attached to carriages can be repositioned instantly.

All the first enemies to jump in lay down on the ground.

But the aftermath is still coming.

"Number two, shoot!

The great crossbow of the tank barks again.

"Wow!"

"What happened!?

The enemy sent out cavalry to ravage the city.

But it's also only good for a big crossbow aiming from the horizon.

Powerful bolts blow up soldiers on horses, choosing the torso of a large army horse and causing them to die instantly.

If you're lucky, you can even pierce the target you're after and pierce it together.

Every time a thick string makes a low noise, the soldier's terminator and horse hiss, the sound of his torso being beaten to the ground ensues.

In front of the castle gate, the corpses of the human horses were everywhere.

There were a few who rushed through the rain of Dai Arrow and approached the tank, but the tank also carries crossbow soldiers and longspear soldiers.

He will also be killed and lay low in a two-stage attack.

"Crossbow squad, infantry squad forward. Build a temporary fence by removing the castle hammer."

The front of the castle gate is filled with corpse obstacles, and the cavalry can no longer storm at speed.

We're done blocking the gates while the infantry pushes each other.

"I'll go."

"Huh?"

A push at the castle gate would really be a bump between a few people.

I don't know what to say to myself, but no one is better suited to me.

"But if anything happens to the commander himself, the commander..."

I kiss Myra.

"I believe in your command. We'll break down the enemy and block the gates."

Retract the long sword.

"Okay. I'll take care of it."

Myra nods.

"Then Mr. Myra sends her regards."

"Wait. You will be my assistant here."

"I don't like it! I am Master Agil's -!!"

Looks like Celia got caught by Myra, but this is fine.

I don't know what happens in a brawl in a narrow place.

I actually couldn't help but worry about Celia in the fight earlier.

Then there was a huge mass of muscle in the soldiers rushing towards the castle gate.

"Mac, were you there, too?"

If you think about it, do something about the broken castle hammer that pierced the door to build an extraordinary barrier.

This is the role of the Corps of Engineers.

"... it's actually weirder to have you there"

That's right.

"" "" Whoa!

I hear enemy anger.

"" "" Ooh!!

This one goes in barking without losing.

Did the enemy realize this defense was thick? Heavily armed infantry is in the lead.

He has armor and a great shield like a mass of iron.

"I'll smash it. Follow me."

He walks with all his strength with his shield against a mass of iron.

"Coming!

"You idiot. You think you're going through our heavily armed infantry!

The enemy leader put his shield on the ground and set up his sword, but I walked right into the middle of the line.

Metal sounds.

Blow up three enemy soldiers, one of whom tramples down with military shoes and runs further.

"Duh, in the middle of nowhere!?

"One more!

"Don't lick it! Never let it through!

Bend and avoid the spear protruding from the next queue and beat him with a shield to crease from the bottom.

Two iron chunks danced through the universe.

"Third!"

Now rotate sideways in front of the enemy, gain momentum and slap the long sword.

"" "" Wow "" "

Four iron chunks make a fierce noise and roll down the ground.

There are massive blood splashes flying out of the armor.

I guess I smashed a lot inside.

Like this, isn't it just troops with heavy armor?

Plus, it was easier than a regular infantry because it was too heavy and moved less.

Were you upset by being hit through the center. The enemy's heavy-duty infantry collapses early after being pushed away by an infantry regiment of allies.

We lead to the broken castle hammer that broke through the castle gate.

"Now get this out of the way"

"There are a number of people"

But even if we wait for our allies, it may be the enemy who comes first.

"Let's just push it away"

"... are you serious"

Seems heavy to see...... no questions asked, sounds disastrous but it has wheels so you can handle it.

I am able to push this forward in the first place.

"The enemy was pushing by thirty men."

"You're the one who's got twenty. I'll do it for ten."

Mac complains but hands on the front of the broken castle hammer.

"Phew!

"Ngah!

There's an ugly voice that I can't stand hearing from two men.

"I'm not moving. Push harder."

"... this is the limit"

Yeah, I don't have a choice.

I just have to do more.

Eat your teeth all over your body. Raise your muscles and bark.

The wheels began to spin slowly.

"Grungy"

"Hmph!

Slowly the broken castle hammer advances backwards.

"Mac, don't sweat!

"impotent... don't say..."

Get out of the way or I'll be all sweaty on Mac.

I finally pushed it with full force, but suddenly it stopped going.

"Shit, the Liberty guys are pushing it."

"Don't lose! Knock him down to the gate!

Apparently, the enemy is pushing back from the other side.

And quite a few from the voice.

Get out of my way, I'll push you out at once.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Naughty!

We're losing and pushing back.

I guess I should just go around and get rid of my enemies, but when I do that, I feel like I lost.

The enemy pushed even in from the other side to see if it was the same.

"What is this power! You push like 50 people!

"... the two of us, you idiot"

Enemy soldiers and Mac are talking to a broken castle hammer.

"Liar, there are thirty of us! You weak Liberty bastard give up and get away from me!

"Lie to me, or you guys are the ones who do the extra work! The guy next door sweats so hard, he stinks."

My mouth goes out by accident, too.

I heard doodles and footsteps there.

"All right! Twenty reinforcements are here. That's the same number. We win."

Damn, if there's twenty more here, it's just tough.

Must I be prepared for muscle pain?

"Dear Chieftain, I'm here to help!

Ooh, Pipi's got reinforcements over here, too.

"Ha ha, one pipipi and lizard came to reinforce us here too. We win."

Now give up and back off.

"Pfft! Whatever you hear, it's a woman's voice. And you think he's a lizard? You gonna make us laugh and win?... What wings are sticking out of the side, by the way?

Me and Mac line up, and the poaches that stood up on it get their hands on it.

Pipi also got his hands on me while I was on my shoulder, but it wouldn't make much sense.

"Let's go!

The moment they all pull in, the broken castle hammer retreats as it rolls down the ramp.

"" "Ghaaaaaa!!

They killed a few enemies with something that dropped too much momentum.

So I told you to back off.

At the next moment, the wheel breaks unbearably and the broken castle hammer is overthrown.

"If you think of this as part of the fence, you've accomplished it."

"... but about Porch"

Mac is saying something.

Sorry, I don't have time to talk about lizards.

I'll ask you at the booze table when the battle is over.

Behind us, the Corps of Engineers is starting to build a fence.

The enemy that was pushing against the castle gate had also seen a break-in failure and the destruction of the castle hammer and stopped moving.

Soon the sun was starting to color as well.

There won't be time to retake from here anymore.

"Tell the Defense Commander! To recover the wounded and the dead, we propose a truce until sundown! I repeat, wounded soldiers and..."

I hear screams from the enemy formation.

That's about it for today, I guess.

[]/(n) evening formation/

"I couldn't spot the way the enemy came out. It's my fault."

Rarely apologized to Leopold.

But how can you say you have no expression when you apologize?

I don't care now, though.

"The enemy reinforcement route is unknown, as is the transport route of the large cannon."

That surprised me.

"We assumed that the ground around Merisburg was solid and there was no earthbag operation. But only the northern part of the pond was found to be soft and easy to construct positions and make earthbags."

Heh, but that's not what we know when we get here all of a sudden.

I wouldn't call it Leoporto's downfall.

"We also found out afterwards that the North Side Wall was suitable for a slightly inclined attack due to ground problems during construction."

Feels like I saw it. I didn't know.

"I recognize that these were things that I, the staff officer, should have checked."

Leoporto with his head down small.

So stop apologizing faceless, you creep and you can't help it.

Let's just say this place soothes with humor.

"Then go home to Rafen and show me about you and Nina. Let's make it worse."

"Nina is just a companion, but if that's what you're told, I'll do it."

Leoporto says pale.

"... no good"

What does it mean that being apologized for cuts your spirit?

"Commander Hardlett! I need to talk to you!!

It was the disturbed third party, Mayor Merisburg, who changed the air on the ground.

Now what, a continuation of the destruction of a private house?

"What's wrong with this, Mayor?

"Nothing like this either! The damage in the city is immense! Citizens are dead and wounded!

That the enemy shells flew into the city?

But it's the city walls I was after, and from what I've seen, the damage shouldn't be so much.

"Forty-eight private homes have been damaged and 28 injured! We have even let three dead!

"That's too bad"

I wouldn't have done that if I'd gotten into it.

This one has more than 2,000 casualties, mainly infantry and archers, by the way.

"Isn't this against the original promise? We should open the castle before any further damage occurs."

Oh, come on. I've got a little something on my mind.

"- We have come to reinforcements at your request. I won't tell the people or you to fight, but I'll ask you to stop talking extra. If you're complaining, ask the president the citizens have chosen," Can we give the city away without a fight? "

I got a little angry because I was tired.

"He's tyrannical! After all, the aristocracy scorns the citizens!

Okay, so just disappear.

If you complain, I'll ask you again when you're free and healthy.

After the mayor leaves, Myra slaps her desk in anger.

"Why do you have to come to reinforcements and be told the way you killed your people! If the enemy occupies the city, why don't you realize it's not there!

Guess it's because I've never been occupied.

"Why don't you lure your enemies into the city for a city fight? Use the house to fight and protect it. If 10,000 or 20,000 folk grass die, you can't say the same thing."

"Why are you here? Please leave."

Secrito says, Celia complains.

If you do that, you're going to surrender on your own.

"But if we don't get the help of the people, we'll be in the way of defense."

Keith, who was insignificant, says.

That's right.

No matter how much you consolidate your defense, the city will fall easily if there are traitors out there.

"We need to settle this early."

I turn back to Leopold.

"Let me take responsibility for you. Think of a way to settle quickly."

Leopold answers with my eyes open.

"Already has"

Leoporto spreads an overview of the city on the table to see where he has found it.

Mmmm... I thought I was gonna fuck Marta one time while this guy thinks about it.

And he can't read the air.
