Act 138 - Defending and Attacking the Keel Fortress

The First and Seventh Armies near the Keel stronghold unfolded their armies against the stronghold in a fan-shaped fashion. The huge walls surrounded by three layers are lined with flags of the crossbow swords. Having visited Keel Fortress in exchange for prisoners, Paul felt more nostalgic than abominable.

(I wonder if this is because I enjoyed traveling with Major General Olivia for a few days?)

When I remembered the innocent smile of Olivia, and Paul was smiling bitterly, Otto, who was giving instructions to his men next to him, turned to a strange face.

What's the matter, my lord?

"I don't want to." How's the── front going? "

"We dare to carry out catapult ranged attacks as scheduled." The Imperial Army hasn't made much of a move with catapults, large bow guns, and more. ”

In anticipation of the siege, the Royal Army had multiple catapults. The latest version captured by the Independent Cavalry Regiment from the Red Knights was analyzed and improved by a kingdom engineer. It seems that the improvement in power was not enough, but Otto told me that it was further miniaturized and the operation became dramatically easier.

"I see. Then tell the soldiers on the front line." Don't be shy. "Destroy the Keel."

Reassured by the title of Nagi Hard Stronghold, it can't be denied that the Royal Army was not long after the fall of the Keel Fortress. If so, Paul sees this as a good opportunity to destroy it thoroughly and crush the fantasy. Perhaps Cornelius felt the same way.

Otto announced that he understood and immediately ran the Sentinel.

There's nothing more convenient for us as long as you keep pullin 'around like this.

If you ask me, Major General Ninehardt is going to do a lot of things.

"Major General Ninehardt... this is the first time we've fought together, but he's quite a songwriter, according to Lambert."

"I don't think he's going to be the First Officer of the First Army, led by General Nagasaki."

"That's true, too." Well, I think the First Officer of the 7th Army is quite right, too? "

“You've got to be kidding me. Compared to Major General Ninehardt, I'm still a joke.”

Humble?

"I'm telling you the truth."

Otto replied lightly. It's not the first time that a man without praise has started, but he can still calmly grasp the situation on the battlefield without being overwhelmed. Paul was the only second-in-command who could not be replaced.

By the way, isn't the right wing attack a bit prominent?

The right wing was led by Major General Hosmund. I guess I'm not anxious about my kung fu now, but I've gone too far ahead.

“Rest assured, we've already sent out a Sentinel to push you back.”

That's right.

Paul nodded contentedly to Otto's judgment, which made him tactful.
