Get out of the way, and make a loud noise, and a huge chunk of stone falls to the ground.

Ichigo, who watched the situation from a few hundred meters back, leaked his voice "Wow".

It reminds me of my experience at the defensive tower a month ago, and it boils down to the feeling that the back of my belly is shrinking.

Seeing that, Barletta looked worried and saw the good.

"No, I'm sorry. Remember when you ate that thing in the defensive tower?"

"Right... that was really dangerous"

Giri, and Baretta bite her teeth off.

I'm glad you happened to be safe, but if you were bad, Ichigo could have been killed.

Just thinking so, I learned the illusion that my head would get hot with anger.

"I hope you're okay, I hope you don't hit..."

"... that won't hit you unless you're lucky enough. I'm sure you'll be fine."

Barletta takes a breath and calms her mind, says working and in a soft tone.

"Sure, there were three large stone throwers."

"You were when they attacked the fort."

"I wonder if I'll have more now. If I had ten or twenty, I'd just as well."

"If you tried it against him, you shouldn't have expected to lose the meet yourself, and you didn't imitate it like you'd make a new one? It's a siege weapon, so it's not suitable for use against the military."

"I see, so is that... what this fight is going to be is going to be pretty one-sided"

"Right. If it's true, I wish I could have counted more cannons."

The manufacture of cannon cannons took a lot of work and only two units were completed, even though they were made with the highest priority.

It is still being manufactured in Isteria, but two units every six months would be at best.

We also produce other weapons and weapons in parallel, so we have no choice but to do all this.

Incidentally, the collection of nitrous stones to be used for gunpowder has been begged by the people left in the village of Gricea to collect it from the abandoned pit where Barletta had previously stopped.

Because the very existence of the nitrous stone is top secret, only the people of the village of Gricea, including Ichigo and Barletta, know its existence.

All of them wear anti-virus masks and wear protective clothing for mining operations.

It's supposed to be a very tight task, but it seems like someone is desperate to work on it without complaining.

"Ah, he's flying again..."

Once again, one stone bullet flew in, this time flying over the head of the shelling unit, landing about 30 meters rearward.

"How long till we get to this shooting position?

"The catapult is a little more. Scorpion is, like, 50 meters away. That's a lot of work..."

The scorpions and catapults with wheels seem to have difficulty moving the ramps and the forward speed is quite slow.

If you stop, you can attach a wooden stop and secure it.

From the front, four soldiers have pulled the rope for towing, and four have pushed it from behind as well.

"He's shooting again"

A stone bullet flies in and lands about 20 meters forward of the unit.

Gradually, the aim was becoming more precise.

"... you're getting more and more accurate in your aim"

"Right. You're shooting while you think about it."

For a good crush, Barletta nods.

Put aside a little time, now three black dots flew up into the sky from within the fort.

Sooner or later, a stone bullet lands at close range of the artillery unit.

The catapult stopped and got ready to fire.

Lower a pot of pottery that holds as much as one from the luggage car and place it on a catapult receptacle.

Scorpion makes his way through the occasional falling stone bullets.

To get as close to a critical distance as the enemy's arrows can't reach, and to shoot as precisely as possible.

All you have to do is throw the catapult into the fort, so you don't mind the range.

At that time, Ichigo and Baretta's ears heard a radio called Zazza.

"Kazra, start the attack. Go ahead. '

"Copy that. I know you do, but even if you see me destroying the castle gate, you can't go in there until you say it's good from here. Go ahead."

'Yeah, okay. Don't worry, I'll be fine.'

Ichigo sees Barletta.

Barletta nodded and grabbed a good left hand.

By the catapult waiting forward, the shooting commander looks back and waits for this signal.

Ichiyana shook Barletta's hand back and raised her right hand to give an attack signal.

"... that's suspicious. I can't believe I only let those infantry soldiers accompany my assault weapon."

Titis looks surprised looking at a bunch of scorpions slowly coming this way.

Next door, Deputy Seiden also looked at them.

It's like, 'You'd better send a cavalry' because you have good food.

"Right...... and whatever the defensive tower that is, you won't be able to break the defensive wall. Nevertheless, I didn't know you were in so many numbers."

Scorpion's power has been heard by Marquez, but attacking walls and defensive towers with that would make little sense.

Of course, it would work for archers and stone throwers targeting incoming infantry, but the infantry hasn't come forward in the first place.

Far rear, I can see a ladder between the heavy infantry corps, so I think I'm willing to climb the wall.

Doing so, Phlexia ran up the wallproof stairs.

I was by the stone thrower earlier, but I was worried about the landing point and came up.

"What do you say? Did you hit about one shot?

"No, you don't hit it at all. It falls nearby."

"Well, you have no choice. If you hit it, think about it as much as you make money."

haha, and philexia laughs furiously.

Seeing that, Titis sighed.

"But couldn't there be any better way? Isn't it like making a lot of that kind of stuff and assuming you lose"

Until the enemy army arrived here, at the strong recommendation of Phileksia, the soldiers caged in the fort had trapped a large number of them.

It's an easy one, just a nail to a wooden plank, aimed at the foot of a soldier who lays it on the ground and moves on.

However, it is not installed around the fort and is packed in crates and piled into the square.

"That's about all I can do now. Even if I can't make something small, I can't make it from Hannah in such a short time."

"But then, why don't we at least hang out on the enemy's path?"

"Hidden balls are the key to use. When an enemy approaches, from directly above the enemy soldier... Ah"

Titis turns to Phlexia, who raised her voice.

"What's up?

"Mr. Titis, this is not good."

"First, what is it?

"The one with five, behind that bow-shaped weapon. That's a stone thrower. We're going to destroy the defensive tower with a stone bullet."

"What!? Oh, is that a stone thrower!?

Unlike Titis, who peels her eyes at surprises, Philexia looks at them with interest.

"Hmm. Even that size, does it arrive from that place? You'll learn."

"What are you talking about so long! Deputy Seiden, give the cavalry an order to leave!

"Lord Titis, calm down. That's a trap, no matter what you think. Now get out. It's a good idea for the enemy's new weapon."

Unlike Titis, who hesitates, Seiden embarrasses Titis in a calm manner.

"But wouldn't they break down the castle gate as it is!

"It's fine if they broke in. The number of soldiers is slightly higher for the enemy, but this one wins the individual combat abilities. If it's the White Soldier War, that's what you want."

"... ok. Sorry for the disturbance."

I finally regain my calm in Sayden's words and Titis apologizes.

Titis is just a secretary and has never commanded an army or anything like that before.

I was always next to Kylen, and in my battle with the Barbarians, I always watched him direct.

And I was going to learn that, but I didn't know what to do when I was in a position to take command.

Before Kylen left, she said, "I left the rest to you," so I felt like I had to defend the fort at all costs.

"Hmm, the one like the cylinder those infantry soldiers have... is that it?

Noticing that something like a pot was put on the catapult, Philexia leans her little neck.

At the next moment, from the far rear of the catapult, a roar of Dorn sounded.

And the moment I thought I heard the sound of cutting the wind, the sound of the tree exploding through the castle gate.

The three of them climb out of the fence and look at the castle gate.

Various pieces of crushed wood were scattered across the ground, and the smoke from the impact was thin.

"Nah..."

At the same time Titis accidentally leaked his voice, another roar sounded from the enemy formation.

The exact same wind cut noise sounded earlier, and now the fence on the defensive tower flew off.

"Hey, what the hell is that!? What happened!?

Titis grabs Philexia's shoulder and rocks it hard.

Phlexia was staring at two cannon cannons covered in bright white smoke with her eyes wide open.

"What... that..."

"Eh! Deputy Seiden!

Seiden nods and faces inside the fence.

I know it's a trap, but you can't leave an enemy with such a weapon.

It involves morale if you don't destroy anything, no matter how much damage you do.

"Don't wander around! Heavy infantry, prepare for enemy intrusion! Cavalry, march out of the west gate and knock on the projectile weapon!

That's when the three jumped over their heads and five large pots fired from the catapult jumped into the fort.

At the same time the pot explodes as it lands on the ground and on the building, and the contents ignite and flourish in the flames that were burning with the mouth of the pot.

More black smoke began to spread in the fort.

Soldiers who inhaled smoke can be heard coughing hard.

"Put out the fire! Water."

"Wait! You can't let them get near you!!

Phlexia, looking back inside the fort, shouted as she noticed how the soldiers were doing.

One by one, the soldiers held their throats and began to fall on the spot.

"Hey, what? What the hell are you talking about!?

"That's poison smoke! Evacuate everyone behind the fort! Quick!!"

"Keh, don't smoke! Evacuate!!

This smoke is an asphyxiating poisonous gas produced by the combustion of a mixture of sulphur and nitrite.

It is a substitute for the sulphuric acid gas used by the ancient Spartan army to make it even more vicious.

Originally, a thing called poison gas is scattered with just a little wind blowing, but not within a fort surrounded by walls and buildings.

Moreover, the one used this time was mixed with straw stained with gasoline to promote combustion.

While doing so, the castle gate continues to be shelled by cannon cannons and has already been half-baked.

Another cannon gun, which was aimed at the defensive tower, has also been re-targeted at the castle gate, alternating fire.

A second shot was also thrown in the new poison gas bullet, which had turned the fort into a training ground.

"Oh, no... this is..."

"Mr. Titis!

Phlexia grabs Titis' arm, staring at the sight.

"What if you encounter an unforeseen situation? Yes!"

"... Yikes, once you retire and consolidate your protection?

Filexia smiled when Titis answered a few words that Kyren had previously heard.

"Correct! Let's go!

Pulled by Phlexia, Titis ran out on the fence.
