"You're defensive, more than I thought..."
"Yes. It's more than I imagined. I heard Barca specializes in castle building, but I didn't think he'd be better at caging."
"You never thought you could bounce this one so high, Zedan."
"Yes, my lord. The magic of building walls is, to be honest, more troublesome than I expected. I've never even experienced that I can create walls instead of repairing them."
A small castle created by an abominable Barca.
When I heard that the detachment squad was tricking into such a hastily built castle, I wanted to reprimand it for what it was doing in my mind.
But that's all there was to protect this castle.
Even though it's small, probably a castle the size of a thousand or so people can accommodate a soldier.
The castle was surrounded by walls and protected by water.
What a new castle it was built in the middle of a river that leads to Paramere.
He was building a castle by the land between the river and the point where the river meets.
The use of river water is so defensive that I don't think it's a rushed castle.
Besides, the interception method from the castle was also nasty.
They fly stones at the army that surround the castle and are about to attack it.
Throwing stones that reach farther away than by the river.
Are you training this stone-throwing attack quite well, and the attack accuracy is pretty good.
It's a really nasty way to attack.
But what was more troublesome than that was the magic of building a wall with Barca.
Barca's magic was mostly ridiculed initially when the story of Barca sounded like Arborest territory.
It was all about what I was afraid of, such as a knight with magic like building a wall with no offense.
In fact, I thought so, too.
When I heard that the proud cavalry of the Urk family had been defeated by a barca with such a low degree of magic, the Urk family also felt the extent had fallen.
But when you actually look at it with your own eyes and experience it, you can see how annoying it is.
Because more and more walls can be built.
Despite the fact that the small castle surrounded by river water is attacked this way, the position of the wall changes with each passing day.
While fighting, or even at night, they are building new walls and expanding the castle area.
A castle that grows daily.
That's exactly what the Arborest army is seeing right now.
There is something in front of us that is unthinkable in our common sense.
Exactly. I can't leave this castle alone.
If you miss it, a new castle can be built here that threatens Arborest territory.
Instead of Paramere, the fortress of the water, which is said to be difficult to defeat, the castle of Fontana, Barca, can be built on this land.
That alone must be prevented at all costs.
Yes, we were stunningly stuck during enemy surgery.
A timed pinch with the Wolk family should be forced to attack the attack target prepared in front of them, buying them time.
Everything was just what I thought over there.
"My lord, apparently no means have been chosen. More than that, time just passes in favor of the enemy and it doesn't seem like one good thing for this one. Prepare for some damage, but I think we should make a total offense here with the whole army."
"Um, right. Okay, it's Zedan. I'll leave everything to you. Now, it's our top priority to take down that castle."
"Yes, I did. I will try to successfully attack the castle with all the spirits."
"I hope so, Zedan. I expect a good report."
At the behest of the Lord, he bowed his head and immediately left.
Drop the castle in this fight.
Even if it's damaged enough.
Running orders to all the knights, they also put in their main forces and crossed the river simultaneously to advance towards the castle.
"Don't flinch! Keep attacking! There are few over there. Keep pushing it off!
A castle between the river and the river.
Cross the river towards the castle and launch an attack on the castle.
Apparently he hastily launched a stone-throwing attack when he saw this one advancing the whole army, but it's futile.
I've already figured out in the battle so far how long that stone-throwing attack can last.
Besides, he seemed to be able to throw stones from any direction of the castle, but that's not a good thing in this case either.
Limit the number of stone throwers that can be used by attacking from one direction and sew between the timings of the stone thrower's attack to move forward.
By doing so, he succeeded in crossing the river and mounting it to the castle while containing the damage.
No attack by a stone thrower will come if we get this close.
The rest is just like regular siege warfare.
Attack once and for all and drop the castle.
That was supposed to work.
Dawn!!!!!
It was then.
I heard a terrific noise from across the river.
Is it because he was distracted by the castle attack in front of him?
At first I did not know what it sounded like.
No, that's not accurate.
I didn't understand what that sound meant.
That was the sound of thunder falling.
At some point the sky is covered in clouds and darkened.
But is it natural to fulfill this?
I don't think so, but it is also possible that this is not a natural phenomenon.
My lord.
The master of the Arborest family is proud of his superior magic [Far Thunder].
Terrible magic unleashed by a Lord of immense magic.
When its magic is activated, its surroundings are stripped of light by clouds and extinguished by a blow caused by indefensible thunder from heaven.
It is a magic worthy of every knight's peak as a nobleman proud of its power until it is overwhelming.
Was the sound earlier just a thunder?
Or the Lord's?
No, I'm too optimistic about the weather breaking down and lightning falling, etc. by chance at this time.
But why should the Lord activate [Far Thunder] at this time?
It was when I thought so.
Light and sound from thunder arrived again from certain directions of the main formation.
"Barca, did Ars von Barca show up? You're here at this time? How? Weren't you going far west? No, not quite. If that's the case, we have to hurry back."
Oh, my God.
When I commanded the entire army to carry out the castle attack.
In other words, the timing at which the main force became the thinnest.
Ars von Barca came out precisely as he aimed for the moment.
Otherwise, it is impossible for the Lord to unleash magic and intercept.
Besides,
I've already activated the second shot of [Far Thunder].
That means that the first [Far Thunder] did not defeat Ars von Barca and launched another attack.
Did he prevent an undefended attack?
No, that's impossible.
You can't possibly do that.
But the nasty feeling didn't disappear from me.
My anxiety to tighten my chest prompted me to move toward the main formation.
After crossing the river to get closer to Barca's new castle, again I was traveling the route back across the river.
This river is basically not that deep.
Isn't it enough to soak your chest in the deepest part?
Unlike Lake Paramere, there are no fierce water demons either.
Therefore, when it was about to attack, it went straight into the water, and now when returning in this way, it was about to cross to the opposite shore, fighting the water flow in the same way.
In my eyes with such a reduced speed of movement, I could see the Lord's main formation and the cavalry approaching from beyond.
I gaze out of the water and see the cavalry.
It's still the White Warcraft.
There are men on top of Barca's servant beasts, and they are at first sight diseased by the main battalion with the Lord.
and so caught an increase in magic at the edge of his sight.
The magic to the horror is worked out at our headquarters in Arborest and released into heaven.
That is exactly the activation of Arborest's proud [Far Thunder].
An indefensible [Far Thunder] was activated from it by the magic unleashed against the darkened sky.
Light overshadows vision along with loud sounds that make me wonder if I'll be deaf.
At the same time, I felt the vibration of the air caused by thunder on my skin.
Definitely.
This time, [Far Thunder] was definitely activated.
This must have wiped out all the Barca cavalry that was approaching the present.
But there was an unlikely thing in my eyes that my vision had returned to.
The Barca cavalry, still alive, is as sick as it was before.
"Why! Why aren't they dead!!
That's what I screamed as I accidentally drew the water.
Whatever you think, the Barca Cavalry should have been attacked by the earlier [Far Thunder].
Why, I don't think it's necessary to scream.
But once I screamed or regained a little calm, I realized that there was only a slight difference between the sight and the sight I had just seen.
What the hell is that?
Barca Cavalry was running somewhere a little different from where it had just appeared.
That was a high stick.
All you can see from my position is really high, just a stick.
The colour is white.
The stick stood so that Barca could stay after he ran through.
But its height is incredibly high.
Wouldn't Barca have about five walls tall?
Besides, I never noticed that high white stick before, but there seemed to be something else.
Some similar sticks are built where the Barca cavalry probably would have gone.
Some of those sticks seemed to be as black as coal.
"Maybe that's what sealed [Far Thunder]?
Oh, I thought so.
I don't know how, but Barca is undoubtedly preventing attacks by the [Far Thunder] used by our Lord.
But to see the situation, [Far Thunder], when it comes to things that have changed around activation, it's only about that stick.
Then again, I felt an increase in magic in the main force.
Once again, the Lord unleashes his magic.
Earlier I was watching the main formation with the Lord, but now I will pay more attention to the Barca Cavalry who runs.
Then there was a reaction to whether the Barca cavalry also felt the increase in magic in the main formation.
Several servant beasts jumped out of the cavalry.
That apparently doesn't have a person on his back, and unlike the servant beast on which a person rides, horns grow on his head.
Could that be the servant beast with the horns of Barca who can unleash the magic of rumors?
White warcraft moving away from the cavalry.
It activated magic somewhat where it ran away.
I see.
Was that made by magic by that white warcraft?
There was a strange white, tall stick that I had just seen.
and the Lord's activated [Far Thunder] struck directly there.
"Again, you were preventing it with that stick... Take our Lord's [Far Thunder]... But..."
Impossible.
Who can think of anything that can guide the position of thunder falling from heaven?
But I felt I saw something more unlikely than that.
That means that that white, tall stick is the magic that exists only to seal the [Far Thunder] used only by the Arborest family owner.
There's no such thing as the magic of building a stick that's just pointlessly high.
Whatever I thought of that one, I just thought it was made for vs. Arborest.
"Was Barca..., was Barca's magic created to fight the Arborest family? Just to take over our Lord..."
Seeing that sight shown from within the river, my feet had stopped at some point.
A presence called Barca that suddenly appeared in the Fontana family.
Barca scratched around Fontana, causing even more painful damage to Urk.
But the real aim was for us in Arborest.
He was knitting a magic to prevent [lightning], just to discuss the owner of the Arborest family.
When I realized that, the Barca cavalry had stormed the main battalion.
The moment I saw the flames rising from the sword of the leading cavalry, the magic of the Lord, who was about to unleash [faraway lightning] again, was fogged and vanished shortly after it ascended into the universe.
