Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Lesson 721 The Wax Doll?
Around the same time, the Noono-Elsmo army, which was occupying Casa Castle, held a military conference. Although nominally a military assembly, Nomasa was actually talking down by herself, which was like his talk show.
He was proposing a night raid on the Sefand army sitting on the back hill tonight. It was a very important operation, and it was eagerly preached that its success or failure would also affect the lives of this army.
But all the councillors that were gathered there humbled themselves, and there was no one to utter a word. Normally, someone in the cadre would react to his words by putting in a hand or at least nodding, but at this time, it continued to harden like a doll.
Even our own troops are like this. As far as the Noono factions were concerned... it was a surprise.
Nomasa was dissatisfied. Normally, the Noono army should be more active. However, they were just dazed as if their souls had slipped out. I could read it in my stomach. I just want to wait for the rain. I think that if it rains, this situation can be broken. Sweet, what a sweet idea. Until recently, the idea was acceptable, but the situation is different now. Left alone, it was clear that this castle would fall on its own.
As for Nomasa, we couldn't just stand here and surrender to the enemy. He had deep thoughts in his heart. "I want to make it happen anyway..." That was the motivation that was driving him right now. Rather, if you can get out of this critical situation, your fame will resound to the Noono Kingdom, the End, and the Saufand Empire, not to mention Elsmo. If that happens, it will be much closer to fulfilling the wish in your heart.
But now his voice echoes in a small room made of empty stone. He raised his voice to inspire his subordinates, who were hanging in front of him like wax dolls.
"This is a battle to save our lives!" In the end, the battle for the destruction of our country! Everyone, get up! "
When I say that, I take a big breath and adjust my emotions. Once again, I turned my attention to the cadres who stood calmly, but there was no one to look at.
... I didn't know how you felt. Because we can't find a future in this battle. Even if we win tonight's raid, we don't have a plan to return to our homeland.
Information from the scouts that a giant wall has been erected overnight northwest of the castle... It was easy to see that the river's water was completely blocked and that it was made quite sturdy. The scouts say it's a huge wall, high up to the top of the mountain, and hard. If we are to retreat, we must dismantle the wall as soon as possible. Otherwise, over time, the water level across the wall would increase, and if it was broken, it would cause a flood of fire, which could be seen to cause great damage to our own forces.
However, Nomasa wondered if she could take it back.
If we can capture the back hill and secure the water, we will use it as a base. In other words, I was thinking of abandoning Castle Casa.
As soon as the back hill was captured, the northwest wall was destroyed. If you can't destroy it completely, but you can drill a hole in the bottom of the wall, it will cause an Iron Flood. That way, the Sefand forces under the river will be sure to be destroyed. In addition, the water will enter the Empire, causing massive flooding and causing tremendous damage. In the meantime, we'll retreat the troops together... that was Nomasa's idea.
Of course, we had to be prepared for some damage to our own forces, and if we could not break down the wall, we could even be devastated.
But even so, he believed it was the most likely plan to survive.
Fortunately, many sorcerers were enlisted by the Noono army. Most of them had barrier skills, and some of them were skilled in earth magic. And in the armies of Elsmo there were such men, and there were nearly three hundred of them that could manipulate the magic of the earth. He thought it would be possible to drill a hole in the wall if they were cut by the summoners.
However, in order to do so, the success of tonight's night raid is absolutely necessary. It had to be said that it would be difficult to achieve it as it stood.
And Nomasa sighed a little, and left the staff members out of the chamber. In the hallway, soldiers sit on the floor and stand on the walls. Everyone stays down and doesn't move. He doesn't even thank you for raising his hand when he passes by.
Originally, this was a serious violation of military regulations. That's why I could even execute you for it. Until the day before yesterday, there were no such rude soldiers in the Elsmo Army. Uniformly, the soldiers who saw themselves raised their backs as if they were robot dolls and raised their hands to thank them. Now, like the cadets, the soldiers were turned into wax dolls.
And when he thought that the soldier in front of him lifted up his face, he rose up, and lifted up his hand without hesitation. Looking at it, Nomasa opens her mouth in horror.
"... why don't you hold on?" What do you mean, "Zama"?
"Excuse me..."
He glanced at the soldier and took a step towards the balcony. And when the chief officers were come after him, they pushed him away, and asked him to be left alone, and departed from the place.
Look at the sky from the balcony. It was cloudy, but there was no sign of rain.
The worst scene passes through my head. The night raid I just announced failed, and I was pushed back to this castle. The enemy does not attack and sends mischief on a daily basis. In a castle completely cut off from the water, the soldiers make a stir and are no longer able to maintain their military formations. When that happens, the soldiers will be scattered and devastated by the prey of monsters and the Sephardic army...
The sight of her neck being exposed in the enemy Imperial City appeared in her mind. Shake your head to the left and right to cancel it out and calm your mind. But I couldn't help but feel that the idea would come true.
The enemy isn't stupid either. You're probably expecting a night raid tonight. Night raids are an effective operation because the enemy is alarmed, and they make little sense to a ready army. Nevertheless, there is an almost twofold difference in terms of number. The odds were there.
I also understand the anxiety of the cadres. It's just a place where there's no profit. In addition, we don't know the enemy formation very well. Launching an attack there in the middle of the night meant taking a considerable risk. It makes sense for them to say that it is not too late to gather more information.
However, Nomasa intuitively felt that it would be tonight if she set it up. Seeking out the enemy's movements is like launching an attack. If the movement is understood, the enemy will strengthen their defenses even further. Since then, the success rate of the operation has dropped significantly. The more days you spend, the less successful you will be.
... somehow, if we don't raise the morale of our soldiers and defeat them by hitting the enemy with Kun-kun's attacks, we won't have a chance.
With such a similar readiness in his chest, he takes a deep breath. There was a strong wind blowing down from the direction of the mountain behind us. It was like trying to keep the Noono-Elsmo Allies out of the way. Nomasa shook her head again, moving towards the small room where the cadets were restrained.
