Episode 198

I immediately held a military controversy and asked if I could make an idea come into shape.

"I was looking at Natalia's snow cave, and came up with another ice castle to fight the lake castle."

All are silent.

Wait, there's more.

"I'll tell you, I don't build it on the lake. It's ice that can't even deploy a trebuchet, and it would be impossible to put a decent building on it."

"So where do you build it?"

Bolsh asked me with an interest, so I spread the map.

"We are currently besieging the castle on Lake Kleich. My army is on the north and Ashley is on the south."

Ashley's morale is low, so he is in charge of the south side near the Imperial City.

We, Eléora's army, were deployed on the north side, the first place to be attacked when Prince Ivan sent reinforcements.

This is a snowfield that is nothing at the moment. The east and west are sandwiched between deep forests and steep mountains, so you cannot move much.

The nearby town has no walls, so it is unlikely that it can be a defensive base, so there is no military base for us to stand.

From the north, you have to watch out for Prince Ivan's reinforcements, and from the south, watch out for the sortie from Lake Castle.

But with one of the forts, the story changes radically.

With a fortress where the Elleora army can stow, we with 17,000 troops will be quite strong.

It will be able to withstand a total of 50,000 attacks, including Prince Ivan's reinforcements of 20,000 and Prince Warroy's army of 30,000.

"Fortunately, there's a lot of snow around. Let's solidify this and build a wall to turn our military base into a fort."

One of my favorite block toys in the previous life was a series that could make medieval European castles.

If there is a castle on the lake and an ice castle, I definitely want it.

I had such a delusion for a moment, but it was difficult to collect ice, so I decided to put up with snow.

In the meantime, I will give up building the building and decide to compromise only with the barrier.

It's more like a snow festival.

It's a plain plan like me, but if this works, it will be like this.

Reinforcements from North Rolmund (Ivan Army)

Hubei base ( Eleora Army)

Kreich Lake Castle (Warroy Army)

Hunan Base (Ashley Army)

Around the Imperial City (■ Ashley Army)

Those marked with ■ are the armies that can fight Kagojo.

It can be seen that the presence of Eleora's army in a dangerous position has increased rapidly.

However, even if this snow fort is completed, its performance will not be very good. It's a quick build and the snow is snow. Melts in spring.

Nevertheless, it has great significance for magical soldiers.

"My army has a large number of magical soldiers, but they are not good at field fighting.

Here is the same as a gun.

"If our army establishes a base here, the magical soldiers will be able to demonstrate their full strength. Even if Prince Ivan and Prince Warroy are pinching, they will not lose."

What happens then?

Ashley's army is no longer necessary, as it is safe to not encircle the Lake Castle with the entire army.

"We can stop here at Warroy, so Ashley can move north to subdue Prince Ivan."

I have to get them to work a little.

After Ashley's death, Warroy may invade the imperial capital, but there are Ashley's castles and forts along the way.

When the Warroys begin to capture them, we can attack from behind.

The squad is weak when attacked from outside the front, so even if there is a difference, the Warroys will be hit hard.

The kite raised his hand.

"Can you please explain the construction method?"

Good question.

"The construction method is fine. I just plow snow and pile it around the base. That's what all Rolmundes do every year."

There is no need to be a skilled worker.

"However, estimates suggest that the amount of snow is likely to be scarce, but use ice from Lake Kleich. Of course, it's still not enough, so we'll pump the lake and freeze it into a magician."

The idea of building a fort with snow is something anyone can come up with, but no one has done it.

The reason is simple: in most cases there is not enough snow.

Even in the previous-year snow festival, trucks carried snow from here and there to make one snow statue. It is not easy to make just the parts that are there.

But today we have hundreds of sorcerers who can use cooling magic.

And water is all-you-can-draw near.

"At first, it's low. If you're at your waist, you'll be able to fire with assurance. The rest will accumulate more and more depending on the material availability."

Unlike archers, sorcerers can shoot down, so they can fight as high as their knees.

With just a few barriers, they can shine.

"I want it to be the height of a typical wall in the end. The outer wall surface will be smooth vertical ice, so it would be impossible to climb it."

After that, make lots of crenels and watch towers ... your dreams will spread.

I don't know how far we can make it.

Eleora asks me.

"What about the possibility of interference from enemies during construction?"

"Of course, but once the ice on the shore is broken, the Warroys are not easily accessible, because the ice on the shore is broken to get the water anyway."

Breaking the thick ice isn't as easy as it sounds, but it's going to work because infantry and cavalry can't cross it.

Once broken, you only need to manage it so that it does not freeze again.

After that, we consult with each other and work out a specific strategy.

After reviewing, everyone agreed, saying, "If you fail, you don't seem to lose much, and you have nothing else to do."

The construction will start immediately on that day.

That said, it looks just like a snow plow. It is unusual to collect snow from outside the base.

Harden the collected snow by hitting it.

If you harden it, it will be so small that you will be surprised. It has also become so small that I am surprised.

Building a defensive position still requires a significant amount of snow.

Elsewhere, they draw water and pour it into quick-built crates. The magical soldiers freeze it with cooling magic.

As expected, it seems that it will not freeze in an instant, and they were working hard while groaning.

Some crates aren't in charge, but they're waiting to freeze naturally.

Eleora, who has inspected the work, returns.

"If a magical soldier is active in this battle, the status of the magical soldier will be improved. That also means my position will be improved.

I laugh grinning.

"As expected, His Highness Elleora, on your insight"

After winning the battle against the Dniesks, the Schwerins, where Prince Ashley lives, are the opponents.

To do so, we need to be better off than the Ashley army.

The magical weapon is a weapon that Eleora has successfully commercialized, so it is her achievement if proven superiority in actual battles.

But let the Ashley army do some work.

"If the Ashley troops head north to fight Prince Ivan's army, can they win?"

When I asked, Eleora smiled bitterly.

"At least, 20,000 troops for reinforcements shouldn't be a big deal; they should be of lower quality than Warroy."

It doesn't make sense to waste the dead, so the first to be mobilized are the elite and highly skilled elite.

The later, the lower the quality of the soldiers.

"What if you still lose?-Or if you defeat 20,000, but still have enemies left?"

Elora laughs at my question.

"At that time, let the Ashley army annihilate. We will retreat and redefine at a nearby castle. As long as Prince Ashley is in the Imperial City, the Ashley Army will not lose unless the Imperial City falls."

I agree, but it's really merciless.

There are several forts and castles between Kleich Lake Castle and the Imperial City.

If the Warroys set out, they will be hindered by any of them, so they will not move as expected when heading to the Imperial City.

We have plenty of time to retreat and places to escape.

However, the warroyal sortie is also a threat to us, so we are preparing measures to more reliably block the movement.

I've told the Ashley army through the story, and it should be moving around soon.

"If all the measures fail, there is still a last resort. I'm still in my belly because I'm not in the army."

"Ho"

Eleora laughs mischievously.

"Can you tell me? My ally"

"It's a silly plan.

"Well let me know. I really like the strange things you can think of."

Elleora has recently become a bit brighter.

It's nice to be bright, but it's strangely tangled.

I thought a bit and then told her.

"Let's listen"

"Ah"

I whisper to her ear.

"I infiltrate the lake castle and assassinate Prince Warroy."

Elleora is screaming and then looks up at me.

And laughed aloud.

"Hahahaha!"

"Don't laugh, I would say it was a trick."

I regretted that I didn't say, but Eleora waved with a laugh.

"No, that's not it, but it certainly did."

While wiping the tears off the corners of the eyes, Eleora breathes.

"You can do it. Do you want to start now?"

"It's too dead as expected ..."

The height of the castle wall, the size of the castle, the number of castle soldiers, the wolf squad are a little too much. Probably quite a bit of damage.

We cannot afford to lose the werewolf squad here for the next battle.

Of course I don't want to die either.

"I'm not as strong and versatile as you think. I'm just a soldier with the power of a mediocre werewolf and a little magic."

"If you're too humble, you'll hate it, Lunheit's Black Wolf Lord"

It is an objective self-evaluation.

I'm not that strong.

If you have 100 armed warriors, you will definitely die.

I sighed, stroking my neck.

"I'm not allowed to do something like Lunehite again."

Eleora smiled and then nodded at me.

"This is my war. I will not only struggle with you."

"Thank you for saying that. I will help you as a somber deputy."

It's gone deep, but in the end Eleora will take over everything.

Let her do her best.

Eleora then tilts her head.

"I've been worried for a long time, but are you passionate about the 'Sober Lieutenant'?"

"It's just my self-esteem"

I can't do anything flashy, and I'm not a top device.

So what I do is always only help someone.
