Sevens

Fortress

- In Beim, the walls were confirmed to defend the city.

We were checking for damage and preparing to intercept the demonic army.

But the army of demons already marching had not yet arrived in the city.

One of the commanders leading the mercenary regiment was looking far from the top of the assigned walled compartment.

"... Fort Redant sticking? Well, with 20,000, I might be able to stick it for a week."

I'm talking about Fort Redant, but even if I reinforced it, I didn't think it would prevent hundreds of thousands of demons.

This was because Lyell had not been told that he was receiving support from the Trace family.

It was information not known to the head of a mercenary regiment, such as the support of a considerable sum of money and the fortification of Fort Redant.

Even if I know it, I don't think it will hold up.

Baym truly thought that Fort Redant's Zayn, Rolphis' coalition, would be wiped out...

- Baym's Merchant's Conference.

In fact, Fidel was frustrated at this meeting where Baym's top gathers.

On the occasion of the stairway ceremony meeting, the facilitator spoke of the guardianship of Baim's iron wall.

Faceko, who was already the main one before the meeting, has gathered and checked the information. Because I'm checking, Fidel was upset.

"As you know, Baim's walls are special materials and highly resistant to magic. Nowadays restoration work is also progressing, and a mercenary regiment is deployed to complete the system. Craftsmen are also making large quantities of weapons, and arrows are being produced one after the other."

Sitting in a chair and holding hands on his desk, Fidel was angry at the confident facilitator.

(Stupid. As it is now, you will hold a large quantity of supplies)

Several merchants were trying to make money from this war.

I was also thinking about the aftermath of buying weapons and leaving the demons.

But Fidel knew.

(That hippo bastard! Build a fortress! With my money! He said he built his fortress on his own with the money of our Trace family, and reduced the number by up to half!!)

There were other facts that made me want to hold my head, and many merchants were there to help Lyell if the Trace family supported them.

That's good. But the amount of support had become foolish. The invasion of the enemy is so slow that Baym's adventurers and fast-paced men headed for reconnaissance.

Then there was a fortress, not a fort.

(In the adventurers' view, he still said most of them couldn't stand it... but a few said they could. Is it possible)

Fidel couldn't forgive that Lyell's chances of leaving the demon at Fort Redant - the fortress - were not zero.

(Everywhere!

Regrettable Fidel, but more regrettable than that.

(As it is, isn't one of his guys winning!

This time, Lyell hoped to manpower Baym's guild headquarters. But naturally, the guild was also reluctant. Seems like he was prepared to send about 2,000 to 3,000 eventually, but Lyell pulled back quickly.

If Lyell defeats the great army of demons here, the Alliance will have turned down support.

(... Hmm, the Trace family supported it, so no problem. If the guild is going to crush him, I hope so.)

Many houses are supported by merchants, starting with Fidel. We can also make excuses for doing what we can.

A bunch of merchants, not knowing what was going on around them, were wondering, in part, if Lyell would really prevent hundreds of thousands of great armies from moving in assuming that the demonic army would attack them -.

Second wall.

After buying five days, I decided to get ready to retreat.

That was considerably faster than expected, but there was no choice in this situation.

When I saw the great army of demons on the wall, the demons were hitting each other with cliffs on both sides, not even narrow.

"That's it. The first troops we had already positioned also almost retreated to the fortress. I switched them, but I repeatedly sent them backwards, and they cut thousands."

The second wall itself is still bearable.

But there were no more people.

By my side, there was Eva back from the fortress. Pink blonde's hair was disturbed and she had a slightly tired look.

"Lyell, Alette, Crate, and Albano have gone back. Aria didn't have a commander three days ago."

I laugh bitterly.

"Shit. Mr. Noi's back, so I thought we'd still have a few days."

When I say that, Eva's got a jitsy eye against me.

"The calculations are sweet. Bang the rear feed, one after the other from the side of the back. Because it's not normal."

It was true that I made a huge mistake in my calculations. Then Clara ran up the stairs and brought me a message.

Clara had also accumulated quite a bit of fatigue, resting slightly behind her. I just got up, but few people were able to manipulate the porter, so I was forced to do it.

"Oh, there you are, Ichi-Elf"

"What the hell! Can't you handle that aversion? I'm upset to hear that?

Clara smiled very well.

"People get angry when they poke at a star. Well, here's a message for Mr. Lyell."

I made sure Clara's face was going to be serious, and I grabbed and held Eva's arm, which was still going to grab Clara.

"We're ready. The artisans also finished Aramsarth's" Exploding Arrows ”. I was angry that it was too dangerous to tell you that it was a student's allowance. Boost Arrow… The official name has been determined."

I snorted at Clara.

"Carry the injured and the people sleeping with you. I'm ready for this one."

Clara pushes her glasses up gently with her fingertips.

"Is it another round trip? Could Mr. Lyell please come back first?

I shook my head to the side.

"Sorry, but it's the last. Hurry up."

As Clara goes downstairs, let go of Eva's arm, I say.

"Eva, get in there and get ready to retreat. And Monica and Valkyrie will be back first."

Then Eva looks at Clara.

"That poisonous tongue...... fine, but it's night. Though I think it would be easier to get here if there were fewer people? Can we lower the Monicas? I don't like it."

Automaton, why are you so self-assertive?

"No problem. Worst case scenario, we just have to stay in shape."

Because the second wall - the real purpose is separate.

Night.

It was almost morning.

I was watching the demon army as Clara transported personnel to the fortress.

"Doesn't feel diminished at all"

I was alone on the spot, so I could also reply to the voice of Treasure Ball. The third generation is floating as usual.

'That's right. No matter how much you shred, your opponent is hundreds of thousands - more than a hundred thousand large armies, no matter how much you halve. It was a little too early, but I'd say it's going well.'

I look up into the night sky.

"... I've let many of the flying demons get away with it."

While I was resting, and while I was otherwise distracted, a demon flying through the sky put a demon on its back and even crossed the fortress behind it.

The fifth generation was a little angry at me.

'Don't think you can do it all. I did what the others could do. You did everything you could. Then it's Baym's fault behind you. How can you not let one pass? It would have been different if there had been more people.'

It was flying magic, and on the wall it was worn out.

Eva comes to me and tells me she's ready.

"Lyell, you're the last one."

"Okay."

Down the wall, a large porter was preparing to leave. Knights, soldiers, and elves aboard the large porter carrying the luggage made by Damien.

When I climbed on the roof, I told Clara to leave.

"Let me out."

"... Yes"

It was Clara who looked embarrassed somewhere, but now it wasn't even if she was speaking up.

The demons launched a simultaneous attack against a completely irresistible wall. I was looking at the wall as it passed to Porter until the ground sounded.

You thought the demon also had weaker gates than the walls, and he started attacking you.

When the porter arrived half way from the second wall to the fortress, the gate was broken. From there the demons pour in.

Preparing a silver bow on his left hand, he set an arrow on the roof.

"Crush the fast legged guy. Clara, keep going for the fortress."

"Oh, I see."

Large porters had space available for people to board the previous part. By getting in there, Clara manipulates the porter as she looks forward, while also ensuring safety.

When I breathed, I unleashed an arrow on Centaur, who was running the lead.

The head rolls, and behind it, too, he is taken off his leg and falls. But stepping on such companions, the demons push forward.

If you release the next arrow, the demons will step over that demon even if they can be defeated in the same way. It didn't do much to hold back.

Skills - Speed - are used to accelerate the porter, but it may still be critical to reach the fortress.

The gates of the fortress are open, and we're just glad to get in there.

Release arrows one after the other, but they just look like they're swallowed by a wave of demons.

I heard a fourth generation.

"You don't seem to be working at all."

Then the seventh generation.

'There must be some. Better than not, I guess.'

Doing so, he stepped on many demons, and ran away with his arms and a big demon popped up.

He was a white, and red-faced monkey-like demon. The long forefoot nails were sharp, and they were coming toward us with their fangs out and big hands and feet.

Five or six meters in size?

It came at us in the form of a jump out of the army of demons.

A silver bow and arrow were erected, and when the arrow was released, the demon reacted instantly to move his body slightly sideways, and the arrow tracked but did not pierce where it was aimed.

He stuck it in his shoulder and exploded, but it doesn't seem to be a lot of damage. I guess the white fur prevented it.

Looking back and looking at the fortress, it was already looming in front of me. He releases two arrows and tries to stall a large monkey, but the enemy ignores the damage and comes in.

When I returned the silver bow to the treasure ball, I put it back on my neck.

Mr. Mireia is a little surprised.

"Oh, you don't use the Great Sword."

When I pulled the knife down on my hips, I held it in my hands.

"No, I want to use it. But he also wants to try the comfort of using this..."

At that moment, as the large porter crept through the fortress, a gate fell from the top that seemed large and sturdy.

It's just that the demon jumps in, and goes straight into the fortress. The rear side of the elongated body moved sideways with a large porter braking heavily to kill momentum, and the porter stopped as it changed direction ninety degrees.

Jumping off the roof, he faced a big demon there.

Clara, coming down from Porter, screams at me.

"Mr. Ryer, it's Giant Kong! Probably a demon who was the boss in the labyrinth!

Stepping on the ground, Giant Kong with a red face was staring at me.

Looks like you chose me for your first prey.

I ran out and took the gun from the back hip holster towards Giant Kong, who swelled his chest wide and tried to raise his roar.

He jumped up to Giant Kong, with his mouth wide open, and pointed at the gunpoint.

"How about in your mouth if your skin doesn't work?"

Pulling the trigger, the bullet was released into Giant Kong's mouth. Did it hurt, Giant Kong made a weird voice?

It's just that my stinky breath got wind pressure and I got a little blown out too.

I aimed at Giant Kong's eyes staring at this one in the air and pulled the trigger.

It was the sixth shot, so I put my gun in the holster when I landed like that. Giant Kong was bleeding with his left eye closed. There was blood from the edge of his mouth, and when he looked at me, he had a bright red face with deep wrinkles all over it.

Put a katana in your hands, and knights and soldiers gather around you. He had a gun, a bow, and a crossbow in his hand.

"Don't get your hands on me!

When I said that and stepped in, my skills - up and down - increased my speed while blunting my opponent's movements. Giant Kong trying to wield the restraint of his skills, but when I approached him, he wielded his right arm.

Moving to the blind left, I swayed my left arm without darkness, so I kept swinging the katana vertically.

The blade appears to be made of rare metal, but it will be missing.

However, Giant Kong's left arm also blew up and crashed into the fortress wall.

"Well slashed"

I felt that way when I saw the katana, but even if I used rare metal, it was missing. Too sharp, too delicate. Maybe not if I handled it well, but I was going to waste it right away.

But he's the kind of guy with the sturdy fur. If you could have slashed off the other guy's arm like that, it might be enough.

Giant Kong slapped his right arm on me as I scattered blood. Avoiding rolling down the ground, he slashed his leg as it was.

To the Giant Kong, whose neck I jumped and slipped to the side.

I slashed and tore the fur off of the Giant Kong that I had prevented from exploding, and when my neck danced through the universe, I shook off the blood on Katana.

The sky brightens and I look at the blade.

"Better than a few hits of sabel..."

When I saw the chipped, and cracked, full body, I shrugged, and the Valkyrie I was coming beside me.

"Master, this is Katana for a change."

From the winged binder on my back, I took my Katana spare and Valkyrie I said so.

Monica, who likewise brought a spare katana, looked at us with a flashing look.

"This Monica will be late..."

I was pretty depressed.

Exhaling, I gave instructions to the surrounding area when I swapped the katana. And go for the stairs to get over the fortress.

"Remove the demonic material. This guy is going to be gold. Who's up there?

Clara was looking at the big giant Kong and instructing the soldiers to dismantle it, but she turned to me.

"It's Aria and Miranda. Mr. Alette is in jail... because Mr. Nowem is busy treating wounded soldiers"

When I was told, I called Eva and tried to get up there.

Eva told the elves.

"How about that! It's going to be a song. It works!

- I was proud.

"Sure. But I don't have time to think about the lyrics when I'm so busy"

"I want to hear about other prominent people."

"If you want to make it a song, still mix up the battle now... no, is that too long"

To talk about this battle, and the elves thinking about making it a song, were discussing it with a serious look.

While I'm frightened, I go up there alone.

Up the stairs, I stood on the fortress.

The third generation saw the sight...

'Well, that's a big job from here. I've been getting ready, so let's make sure we get something done.'

- That's what I said.

Out of the fortress were artillery shells. The soldiers have prepared many arrows, with bows and arrows and crossbows.

Knights and wizards were waiting for my instructions, and the fortress was full of 10,000 troops.

The fourth generation seems to have fun.

"You did it and“ grew ”faster, so you dropped to the fortress a lot faster than planned. But that's all. Let's intercept here '

The fifth generation looks at the second wall, which looks far away.

'You've come through the gate to discipline. Thanks to you, we can lock these guys up if we block the gate. Not a single demon on earth is going to have to get away with it. Ma, I know it's just coming forward, but it's a good thing there's no retrieval'

On the second wall, two gates were provided. And one was destroyed, but the other can be blocked at any time.

Seventh generation, with a serious voice.

'It's just work from here on out. Just crush the trapped demons. That's all I'm ready for.... Lyell!

When I grabbed the treasure ball, I looked up into the sky. Demons were coming toward Griffon and Hippogriff in an attempt to break into the fortress from the sky.

"Were you still left with the power to fight? But you should have used it a little faster."

On top of such demons, Kirins running through the sky thundered from their proud horns, shooting down the demons that were flying through the sky.

Not a few.

More than ten Kirins were looking down at the demons from the sky.

And in the distance, there was a figure of May. Turning to the second wall, he was moving a trick to close the gate.

The gate was closed, and now the demon meant there was no more escape.

Knights and soldiers who have experienced growth and put in time will show more power than before.

Mireia says.

"Is the great army of demons also the bait to raise the soldiers? Damn, the Walt family's historical masters are scary '

I really am.

stronger than the second wall, and the fortress was well magically countered. All we have to do is destroy the trapped demons here.

When I come to the highest position on the fortress, the sights of the knights and soldiers gather.

On the fortress, the flag was shaking in the wind, and it looked glowing in the morning sun.

Raise your right hand.

"This is where we mean it! Do your utmost to destroy the enemy!

Knights and soldiers were raising their voices before the trapped demons. fists out into heaven, and there was an increase in morale.

(... right. From here is the real deal, from here is hell)

That's what I thought, but I saw an army of demons looming in front of me.
