Price of Management

Deputy Royal Special Forces commander Bautel, who received Hardin's report of safe return, has darkened his complexion.

‘I hadn't thought of that. ’

Though it is a ligand territory that is thoroughly prepared for war, it cannot carry even the slightest bit of it. What do you know about the Horn Imperial Catapult unless you see for yourself that it's longer than you expected?

They even notice the slightest of gaps. Moreover, it is very subtle to the position in which it is located. It was clear that someone in the Royal Air Force had a capable Chief of Staff.

I struggled to stop the Wizards of the Rompel Air Force from attacking. The opposing Pokémon are dominant not only over the troops, but also over the wizards.

The Ligand Territory had wizards from the Royal Special Forces, Earl Kunt, and mercenary wizards hired by the Ligand territory, but the defenses were urgent. The attack by the High Wizard over the 4 Circles was like a siege weapon on its own, so it had to be stopped.

But now that we have the real Siege Weapons to support the attack by the Horn Empire...

Baron Bautel summons Haden and Richard, as well as Basque and Rick.

“Once they start using the catapult, we'll have a fence to destroy. If that happens to you, you will immediately fill that hole. ”

“I see.”

Basque happily agreed as a representative.

Later, Dean and Lex were also called to order.

“Prepare to retreat at any time. ”

“I understand.”

Finally, I sent a soldier to inform Lord Vale about this as well. He was a soldier with deep years, and he knew exactly what to do.

It was that evening that the Horn Empire catapult was first demonstrated.

As dusk sets, two rocks fly in succession, plunging them into the middle of the keep. Luckily, no one was killed or injured by the fall, but the fact that a rock flew from the sky still calmed the conversation between the Ligand lords.

The rock has flown again.

This time, a rock fell near the wooden ledge. After falling to the ground, the boulder rolls over and smashes its scabbard. The table of contents had stopped shaking slightly.

It was the angle adjustment of the catapult.

Although that dialysis attack ended that day, the Bautelian commander of the First Fortress had no choice but to get sweaty. Starting tomorrow, the enemy's catapult will be fully operational.

Fortunately, the firing angle adjustment knew where the catapult was aiming. The Bautel Birch has placed various wooden obstacles on the projected strike point of the catapult, reinforcing it to stop enemies even if the ledge is breached.

And the next morning it was bright.

The Ligand Territory also woke up and had breakfast.

The battlefield was quiet. There was only smoke rising from the mountain to cook.

But it was far from peaceful. The tension in the night before the storm swirls around the battlefield like a snake.

At the end of the meal, soldiers from the Royal Air Force gathered at each location. A forward assailant. An infantryman behind you and an archer behind you shooting back. Wizards with shield guards on both sides. It was an extraordinary siege arrangement.

However, the presence of two catapults placed on a hill higher than the first stronghold in the high terrain makes the tactics even more destructive. From there, you can observe the situation inside the fortress and examine the presence of the enemy, as well as dialysize the sturdy bindings to destroy them.

Pow!

The horn sounds long.

“Waaaah!”

“Attack!”

The total assault of the Horn Empire has started again.

This time, in addition to the arrows and magic attacks, the rocks begin to fly. The arrow hides behind the scepter and the magic is prevented by the Ligand Territory Wizard, but the rock is as helpless as any other.

Phew!

The boulder strikes the ledge. A strongly constructed wooden bookshelf shook and trembled. Fortunately, it wasn't easy to break down because it was built strong, but it was unknown how long it would last.

“Cross!”

The chargers rush forward with a shield in one hand and put a ladder over their shoulders with their comrades. I managed to get the ladder to the top of the table in one fell swoop with a perfectly consistent cooperative force.

The vanguard gladly climbs up the ladder. A middle ascending waistdance dagger is inserted between the wooden pegs. When you are halfway up, you are hit by an arrow from the Ligand territory and crashed without incident.

Subsequently, the assailant climbs the ladder again. The climb up the ladder is quick and skillful with the shield in your left hand raised.

“Break the ladder! ”

A soldier with a hammer smashed the ladder from one of the ligand territories on the wooden ledge. The broken ladder crouches and quickly collapses to the side.

As the ladder falls, the Ligand Territory screams. Compared to this massive battle scale, it was a triumph, but it was a deliberate cheer to encourage courage.

However, it was then that the ranks of the elite assailants of the Horn Empire began to take full effect.

A dagger in the middle is used by the vanguard to mount the scaffolding. It reminds me of a swarm of ants coming up from the wooden canopy without a ladder, so the Garrison of Ligand praised the skull.

“Don't be afraid, not even children! What a waste of a good meal! ”

Dean is the one who shouted as he slaughtered the chargers who climbed up.

Then the guards of the Ligand Territory reacted vigorously.

“Keep them from coming up! ”

“Just don't let them get their feet on the stick! ”

Guard officers have encouraged the crew.

Many of the guards came from mercenary forces that Dean had joined when he formed the mercenaries. Experienced as mercenaries, they took Dean's beating and were ashamed of themselves for being frightened by the enemy's presence.

“Shit, I'll shoot the booze after the war! ”

Commander Rex shouts and a shout spreads. There were so many cheering numbers that Rex's expression became a frightened expression.

Due to the Ligand Territory's distribution, the battle rages with unknown defeat.

However, the stares of Baroque Bautel of the Ligand territory, who oversees the entire army, and Baroque Baron of the Grand Duke Rompel, were looking elsewhere.

Kuang!

A rock thrown by a catapult hits the wooden cradle. The stirring of the bookshelves has gotten worse than before.

No matter how hard the soldiers fought, this battle was fought there.

No, the battle was fixed from the beginning. The timing of his retreat was his consideration.

“The fight is proceeding as planned from the beginning.... ”

The face of the Bautel grows deeper.

“This is going too fast. ”

The movements of the Horn Empire were based on speculations made by the Lord of the Vale. However, the Ligand Territory has not been able to buy enough time against them.

“It seems to be swept away by the tide. ”

It meant that the march of the Royal Air Force was like a storm.

I wanted the war to be over before I was pushed to the second fortress. In fact, it was the most ideal form of victory for the Ligand Territory. We've managed to hold off the Rompel Air Force with minimal casualties to our allies.

However, with this kind of flow, the second fortress might even be pushed to the third fortress by the enemy, and the entire territory might flow into the battlefield to resist the White War guerrillas. Then there will be serious damage to the livelihoods of the colonists. The wooden yards, shipyards, and planned cities on the Tex River might be crushed by enemy troops.

Like that bookshelf being beaten by a catapult.
