The battle in the second fortress was more fierce than the first fortress workshop.

This time, the Horn Empire has deployed troops and defended major points, taking into consideration the deployment of catapults. The defensive points are blocked by cutting trees and piling them up, or by moving rocks.

So, under the command of Lord Commander and Chief of Staff Vale, the Royal Air Force was slower to attack than when they raided the first fortress.

In addition to being more fully defensive of the ligand territorial group, many factors have acted.

The first is that the soldiers of the Royal Air Force are exhausted.

It was a sequelae of pushing forcefully into the second fortress and advancing the fight. Even the well-trained Horn Empire has pushed you like a storm ever since you arrived in ligand territory. You are physically exhausted. It was a rough mountain terrain that they were unfamiliar with.

The second is the mental side.

When the soldier tasted victory and his morale increased, the amount of fatigue he accumulated was also recovered.

But when I captured the first stronghold, I had no time to feel the joy of victory. As soon as I crossed the embankment and entered the fortress, I felt confused by the fire system. Fortunately, the swift response between Duke Romfel and the parched bird minimized the casualties, but there was no room for mental joy.

But when I arrived at the second fortress, I began fighting again in a similar manner as in the first fortress, and my tension was loosened.

The Lord Commander Vale assumed that the Royal Air Force had further strengthened their defensive stance.

“The enemy is tired. That's why they will attack more violently than ever before. ”

At the words of Vale, Basque, Rick and the rest of the group remain unsure. Because I thought there was a contradiction in what he said. However, Deputy Royal Special Forces Commander Bautel has long since realized what it means to be an experienced commander in the military.

“I'd like to finalize this second stronghold before more fatigue accumulates. ”

The veil nods.

“That's right. If the amount of fatigue you accumulate exceeds a certain level, you should take a break because your combat strength is greatly reduced and your morale is low. If you stop fighting and take a break, you'll be delayed that much, so you'll want to achieve your intermediate goal before then. ”

“You want to rest as soon as you're done. Because soldiers are always more empowered when they do. ”

Rick pretends to know him, and the Count is embarrassed by his simple remarks.

“Earl Kunt and Earl Fernando, please stand by, not participating in the battle, as Duke Rompel may be on his own. ”

Basque and Rick nod. The rich man's eyes were lighting up with the will of lust. Even though they faced one, they couldn't just walk away without paying back the humiliation they had to walk away from.

Vale told everyone.

“The war plans we've been preparing for are already halfway through, but we've only sustained about 10,000 casualties out of 70,000. Your casualty rate is lower than that, so you seem to be able to fight well, but your efforts in preparing for it and the importance of ligand territory do not add up. ”

I nod my head to make sure everyone agrees.

The veil is a horse.

“If you want to succeed in stopping your enemies in the last phase of the plan, the 3rd Stronghold, you must not easily withdraw from this fight. What's more important than reducing the number of enemies is reducing fatigue. It is important to stay longer than killing more enemies. ”

On the other hand, the Royal Air Force, as expected by the Duke of Rompel, had his opinions.

“Soldiers are now at their limit. Before that, I want to capture this keep. Relaxing your enemies in front of you is not as efficient as resting after winning. ”

“And now they've made their defenses even better? I've blocked points in advance to install the catapult. Which means, of course, you're pretty good at poking holes. ”

“The catapult is not easy to use and requires the force of an aerial charge. ”

“You're asking me to step forward to see a battle. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Then Duke Romfel replied:

“If I step up, they'll probably come from over there, too. ”

“I heard you were dominant the last time you hit. ”

“Of course. If you fight again, you'll have to face the odds, but you will." ”

“ ……. ”

The long-assisted prince had a feeling that Duke Romfel would not accept the offer.

The premonition was right.

“But now is not the time for battle. ”

“Why? This battle is very important.... ”

“I know that. ”

Duke Romfel has spoken.

“But our battle should be when they have nowhere to turn. If I win now, they'll just retreat. And then another third, and then I don't know if I can win. ”

“My skills are incompetent, so I don't really understand. ”

“Well, that's not a very profound story. They knew roughly how powerful I was in the last battle. And the second time we fight, you two will be able to move with each other. After that, if I go into the third round of war, I will be fully prepared to face myself with the passing of training among the rich. ”

Duke Romfel laughed and said.

“You'd be thrilled to fight for your life with two perfectly matched guys. Regrettably, I don't want to lose this war. Even for the Emperor. ”

Basque Kuntdo Rick Fernando must have endured the fame of being alone until he completed the path of nothingness.

However, the shapes of the shapes of the shapes of the shapes of the shapes of the shapes are different. The bag became a master by gaining enlightenment with a variety of different instruments. Since we have cleared the best martial arts for our own bodies, we must all be different from each other.

It was not easy for the master to come that the two different worlds were harmonized as one.

In the last light fight, Duke Romfel fought two error masters, but technically he was right about the two of them. With so many errors and superhuman strength, we were only able to catch up with the quick tempo that the two of us work together.

It was his fault that Duke Basque Kunt, Ric Fernando, Earl Halstein and Earl Great Gen were pushed by Duke Rompel. The power of the individual did not surpass this monstrous duke.

‘But the story is different if you just give it a chance to experience it. ’

The error master's gaze goes nowhere. Even with a few experiences, you will be able to master the trick easily.

If 1 plus 1 became 3 and 4 became a harmony, then it would have been difficult for Duke Rompel.

That's why it looks even more fun! Too bad it's not a war I can end with just my greed. ’

He was the Duke of Rompel who lived his whole life as he wished, but 110 years of life was enough to give him self-control.

“Very well. Would you mind taking care of this point instead?" ”

The dried bird points to a peak on the map.

A good point to set up the catapult, where the ligand territory blocked the road with trees and rocks. It will take a long time for the soldiers to clear the way, but the massive error of Duke Romfel will change the story.

“I see.”

Duke Romfel nods happily.

And the next day, the battle began.

It was a fierce struggle.

“Push! Don't delay! Victory is imminent! Just a little longer! ”

The dried bird encourages the soldiers. The Horn Imperial Soldiers struggled with the attitude of the pushing commander more strongly than ever before.

“Kill them all! ”

“Goddamn Kingdom of Leaden! ”

“Burn, you bastards! Today is the day to destroy them all! ”

As we march here, the heavily stacked Horn Empire forces are piling up evil as their fatigue. There was little anger towards the Ligand territory that had been thoroughly exploiting the benefits of the mountainous terrain.
