Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

It was an incredible sight. Until yesterday, a river was flowing in front of us. There was no trace of it.

There were black marks on the place where the river was believed to have flowed. It was as if a whole river had been sucked away by a demon or something.

Hunai could not recognize the reality. I felt like I was dreaming. A man's calm voice came to his ears as if to call him back to reality.

“How much water is in the castle?”

It was His Highness Nomasa of the Elsmo Army who opened his mouth. There was no familiar expression, and at first glance there was one that seemed to be no expression. That made Hunai feel creepy.

"...... Where's the water?"

His Highness opens his mouth again. Hunai's mind finally began to spin. Yes, indeed, there was no water in the castle. There was no such thing at all in the bucket where it was thought to be filling the water, and there was no such thing in the watercourse.

"Ah... well... there's no water... Yes, because there was no water... no, but because there is water that I originally had... yes, yesterday I pumped water from the river. So, after that, I'll serve you some alcohol...."

Well, how much water did you drink yesterday?

"Um... well... there are certainly some barrels..."

"Where is the water boiling around here?"

It's on the mountain, isn't it?

“We need to gather water from around here right now.”

Huh? Huh? What are you talking about?

"A total of 25,000 soldiers are in and around this castle." The water now stored in this castle will not quench the thirst of our soldiers. We need to do everything we can to collect water from the surrounding area. Otherwise, we will not be able to continue this battle. "

Before His Highness's words were finished, the men surrounding him ran after him. Hunai had no choice but to make his eyes black and white and watch what was going on.

Over time, the situation became brighter and brighter. All of them were desperate.

However, Nomasa continued to analyze the current situation without losing her coolness. However, the moment he heard the report brought by one of the scouts, he carved a deep wrinkle in his eyebrows. It meant that high earth walls had been built on the linen pile.

It was hard for Roka to believe. It meant that the retreat was cut off, but at the same time it was a deep valley, and it was never a place to build a wall in a short time.

Nomasa did not believe the report at first. Rather, it was simply interpreted as the extent to which the road became narrower due to falling rocks. But according to reports from soldiers, some of the mountains were scorched and probably collapsed. Furthermore, the soil flowing out of the mountains is raised to a height of several tens of meters, completely blocking the passage of people. Moreover, in order to hear that it was made in a way that could only be considered artificial, I understood that the current situation was in the worst situation.

On the other hand, Hunai's face was completely bloody. Thoughts ceased altogether, and no one but Nomasa and his servants watched with daze. And so also were the councillors whom he had led, who were watching the movements of Nomasah and the others, drinking saliva.

And it came to pass, that Nomasa waved his hand, and brought his servants down. He looked up at the sky with a dazed expression.

Congratulations!

A man's voice echoed as he broke the silence for a moment. When he saw it, a soldier ran at full speed before Nomasa, and immediately before him he knelt down and feared.

The back hill is... the water source is fortified by the forces of the Sefand!

Nomasa does not react to the soldier's report. Silence reappeared.

"... what's the number?"

At last, Nomasa opens her mouth in a calm voice. In response to his question, the soldier looked a little odd, but eventually stretched his spine as if he had decided.

"Huh... I don't know"

"Don't know? Why?"

“The top of the mountain was completely hardened by the Seafund army and I couldn't even get close to it.”

“If you can't get close, you'll know the approximate number.”

"Hah..."

"Never mind, I'll tell you."

"Unfortunately, I hear that there were originally 10,000 Seafund troops laying on the back hill. Probably thinks that the army is standing on top of the mountain.”

"... thank you very much"

And the man answered Nomasa, and rose up, and bowed down, and returned to his heels, and went after him.

He was thinking about it in his head. Currently, the army was completely besieged. Besides, I was cut off by the water. This army won't last a week if it stays like this. Unless it rained, he was soberly judging that such uncertainty should not be taken into account in his calculations.

If we are to end this situation, we will have to defeat the Safe Fund forces in front of us. Staying motionless meant defeat. And the more time passes, the more likely it is.

If we're going to attack, we've got a unit on top of the back hill. Rather, it was not an exaggeration to say that if we did not do it, we would be defeated. According to the scouts, there is a fountain at the top of the mountain. It was not outside the water that watered this castle's bottle. If we defeated the forces that were there, and secured the waters, we could continue the battle, even if we were cut off from the road.

However, it was clearer than the fire that if we attacked the troops on the mountainside, the forces that seemed to be forming the main force downstream would pour in. If that happens, we'll meet in a pincer attack. The result was that I didn't have to think about it.

... and set off a night raid.

Nomasa made that decision in her mind. In the shadows, attack the top troops with all your forces. The land profit is overwhelmingly unfavorable. Therefore, we had to attack with all our might. Castle Casa has a troop strength of 25,000. The army at the top is 10,000. Overwhelmingly advantageous in numbers. Moving through the mountains in the darkness, he slammed his enemies like a thunderbolt... it seemed like he had no choice.

He turned to Hunai, the general commander of the Noono army, to inform him of his decision. But he suddenly took off his gaze. Nomasa's anger gushed up in her stomach.

... even though I've bothered to rescue Castle Casa, why do I have to be treated like this? In the first place, what is this man? Don't you understand the situation now? If you understand, why don't you propose a plan? He's incompetent enough to ask for reinforcements and do nothing.

Perhaps Nomasa's anger had been passed on, and Hunai opened his mouth, turning his voice, as he swam his eyes in an uneasy direction.

”Ah, eh, um, it's almost, it's raining... it's pretending to rain.”

What?

"Oh, it's going to rain. Yeah, it's raining."

Nomasa turned her gaze to the sky. I see, the sky was cloudy and the sun was not coming out.

"Yes, the weather in the mountains can change easily." Don't be alarmed, even in blue skies. Sudden rainfall is common. How many times have we encountered sudden rain while we were surrounding Castle Casa? It's really raining around here. ”

Hunai said that and nodded again and again. Nomasa looked at the sky again and closed her eyes slowly.

... there was a confusion in his mind.
