Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

Some time after Ichirasu started eating, the fort's bulwarks began to beep with alarm bells.

A signal that the enemy has approached a predetermined distance.

Meals have not been distributed in the defensive positions, and maids and servants are in a hurry to distribute bread alone.

Since it was distributed from the front ranks, it looks like the soldiers slightly behind the center have not eaten yet.

"Are you here already?" it's pretty fast.... "

Nelson hands Eila an empty soup dish.

The sky is getting brighter, but the sun hasn't risen yet.

"That means they're in a hurry, too." Hey, let's get this over with. "

Luglo stands up and starts collecting everyone's plates.

"Your Highness, we'll do it..."

"Sure. It's faster if we all do it together, right?"Cuzla, table, please. "

"Yes. Mr. Titis, could you hold that side of the table for me?"Mr. Philexia, please remove your legs.If you pull it, it'll come out. "

Yes.

Got it!

"Come on, help the kids clean up."When you give the plates to the servants, say "please" properly. "

»» »Yes!» »

The children respond cheerfully and take their used plates to the wagon.

I wonder if Rutina was worried, and she repeatedly called out to the children, saying, "Be careful."

“Valletta, let's go help distribute the bread!”

"Yes, we need to distribute it quickly."

Valletta and Leaze took their seats and rushed out.

Ichirasu finished cleaning up and disassembled the table and carried it to the wagon.

While doing so, the sky grew brighter and brighter, revealing the full extent of the impending Barber army.

The tower defending the lower part of the mobile barrier is twisting around like it's surrounded by heavy infantry.

In that great number, Ichirasu roared.

"As usual, it's a lot of people... I just glanced at it, maybe about 10 legions?"

"That's right, but I think it's a little smaller than last time..."

Nelson glances at Titiz and the others.

The two noticed the gaze, but stared at the battlefield unnoticed.

Titis noticed Uribe all over the Arcadian defenses.

Ormasiol, whose body is about two times larger than those uri bows, is running around the uri bows.

It's like talking about something, something like that.

Is that... those Uribows are going to join the fight too?

"Hmm. It's your cavalry."The cavalry will attack us, but if they bark, Lata won't listen. ”

“I see. That's effective.I don't know what to do. "

"Um... how did you manage that beast?"I've heard that it's not an animal you can get used to. "

Fylexia asked Nelson, praising Titis's complexion.

Uribow is a very ferocious beast, and even if he was raised as a child, when he grows up, even the owner can eat and kill him.

It is not suitable for livestock because it is not a herd creature.

"Master Ormasior is helping me."The Uribows are God's minions. "

"Oh, no! Please answer me seriously!"

I'm serious, though?

Nelson answers Felixia with a frustrated face.

"We have God on our side.You are doing your part to lead our nation to victory.This war is your defeat. "

……

Philexia clenched her mouth.

I have a feeling that I want to say something funny, but I don't have anything to say to Nelson here.

If this operation succeeded and the northern barbarians were captured under the leadership of Kaylen, it would take years, but I did not doubt that Balbert, a great power, would surely win.

In the meantime, I will do what I can for him here.

The value of the craftsmen who developed a number of advanced tools and machines is immeasurable.

We need to move to ensure that they don't get killed in the war, and that they survive to the end of Barber's reign.

If you work with those craftsmen to innovate, Kaylen will recognize her worth once again.

Lady Nelson.

When Fylexia thought about it, Titis called out to Nelson.

"Hmm, what?"

Where is Master Zirconia?

"Jill is in charge of her own legion."Can I help you? "

"No..."

Titis's expression was clouded and nodded.

Nelson tilted his head, but quickly returned his gaze to the enemy.

"Now... where is the Senate Army?"

Nelson takes out his binoculars and puts them in his eyes.

Master Nelson, what is that?

"It's called binoculars."Everything in the distance is a tool that looks like it's close at hand. ”

Nelson answers Philexia's question with his binoculars in his eye.

“Something far away?... oh! Could it be a way to see things bigger and smaller with water!?"

What?

Nelson turns to Philexia.

"I've tried water before because I thought maybe I could use it like a tool like that.After all, it was impossible, but it was practical in Arcadia! ”

Philexia-san, I'm sorry, but I don't use water for my binoculars.

When Ichira sandwiched her mouth, Philexia looked at me with surprise.

"Eh, isn't that right? Then how does it work?"

"Well... I'll tell you when I get closer to Felixia."

"Um, are you getting along?" So, will you make friends with me? "

“Sure, let's get closer to each other over a cup of tea.”

"Yes! Well, you are indeed... a civil servant, Kazra-san, aren't you?"Thank you again for your continued support! "

To Philexia, who was smiling like a friendly smile, I returned with a smile: "Thank you very much."

Ichira was told by Valletta to "get along with those two."

Unlike Leaze and Nelson, if I were to describe myself as a civil servant, they would both be somewhat less distracted.

Valletta said she wanted to take care of them as much as possible when they came to be hostages alone for the sake of the country and the soldiers.

Of course, he also said that he could get some information in the conversation.

--It looks like Valletta-san... but this guy's got a lot of knowledge, anyway.It seems like you've jumped in without thinking, but what is the purpose?

Hmm, is that it?

Nelson, who was looking at the binoculars, said that it was puffy.

"I see, you're making good progress."You guided me well, didn't you? "

Nelson raises his left hand.

A soldier standing beside the bronze coffin a short distance away slammed the bronze coffin forcefully.

Prepare for defensive battle, signal of the enemy.

Soldiers sitting in the field stand up together, shielded and ready for battle.

The maids and servants who were running around the aisle of the area ran back to the fort in a hurry.

Fylexia stood up and turned to the battlefield.

The mobile tower is well behind the last point where the Ranged Stone Catcher fired.

"Master Nelson, if you get too close to the mobile tower, the poison attack will start."By counting from 350 to 400, you can reach the front row of your territory.Before we do that, we need to attack the Senate Legion. "

"What? Are there so many ranges?"

“What's on it is an improved stone thrower powered by animal tendons.I don't fly heavy objects, but light objects can fly quite a distance.Also, it's a shot from a height, so there's more distance to fly. ”

"... I see."

Nelson glances at Sylvestria.

She nodded, quietly leaving the scene and contacting Valletta on the radio.

Nelson saw it and waved his hand in front of him.

The sound of drums echoed around the area to signal the start of the attack.

A few minutes back, Leaze was capturing the Senate Legion with her binoculars at the barrier cannon.

Next door are Valletta, McGregor, and Havel, who photograph senators with a handy camera.

The councillors are wearing sumptuous armor and straddling the rata, which is obvious because there are dozens of them all together.

I don't see Kylen or Lars nearby.

"Oh, what should I do?" The sun hasn't risen yet, and the signal hasn't arrived yet..... "

"It's unexpected for the battle."Please attack at Leaze's discretion. "

"Yeah..."

Leaze nodded anxiously to McGregor's opinion.

I sighed in my heart that I wasn't really lucky enough to be on schedule.

"Now, Master Leaze, this is the first commander of the entire army."I won't tolerate failure, so please do it with all your heart. "

Leaze snorted at McGregor as she loosened her mouth.

In this battle, Nelson told Leaze to take command of the entire army.

Nelson can't use the radios as long as they're around, because Titis hasn't been informed of their presence yet.

It would be nice to keep them in a dormitory, but Nelson told Leaze that it was a good opportunity.

She is accompanied by McGregor, who has been her trainer for many years, and when he feels bad, he will fix it.

"Hey, don't threaten me too much."I'm just nervous. "

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Besides, Master Leaze definitely has the best command.Be confident. ”

"Master Leaze, this is Master Nelson calling."Enemy projectile weapons have a much longer range than expected.The drumming of the attack is about to begin. "

Valletta, who was talking to Silvestria on the radio while looking at the watch out of her pocket, told Leaze.

"Huh!? That means flying more than this catapult!?"

"It seems to be a torsion spring system, so it may be the same.I think it has something to do with projectiles from the top of the tower. "

”That's unexpected all of a sudden... after all, I wish you could have stayed by the side of Kazura...”

When Leaze called, a drum rang to announce the start of the attack.

Leaze squeezed her expression and turned to the Senate Legion.

"Cannon cannon, artillery ready. Objective," Central part of the Senate Corps "

In Leaze's voice, Valletta stared at the binoculars next to her and pressed the transmit button of the radio with one hand.

I already have my earphone microphone on.

"All artillery, artillery is ready. It's windless now."Target, 15 meters northeast of the Senate Legion flag.I'm going to shoot the senators in the eye. "

"This is Leaze. All forces, stand by for instructions."Catapults are ready to fire poison gas bullets. Cavalry-- "

While Valletta gives orders to the cannon unit, Leaze gives orders to the army to deploy on the front line and the cavalry to stand by on both wings.

In the unlikely event that the enemy forces missed their promises and fired poisonous gas rounds, the catapult squad will still have poisonous gas rounds.

Worst case scenario, it will be a poisonous brawl.

Valletta has full command of the cannon artillery, and the timing of the shots is up to her.

When Valletta looked to the left and right, the cannon guns raised a banner announcing that they were ready to fire.

Artillery fire does not stop the mobile tower from advancing immediately, so we need to start attacking before the enemy approaches.

Leaze-sama, in about 320 seconds, our front row will be within range of the enemy.

"Well, 320 seconds..."

Leaze turns her face pale.

"Lady Leaze, we can use the cannon to target the top of the tower, or we can use the cavalry to attack the flame pot."In the latter case, it will set the path of the tower ablaze. ”

McGregor's opinion upset Leaze.

If you attack a mobile tower with a cannon, you won't be able to attack the Senator immediately, even if Kylen gives you a signal.

If that happens, he may not be able to take command, in contradiction to Kylen's instructions.

However, if we allow the mobile tower to approach, it is possible that our allies will be poisoned.

If you use cavalry, the enemy will counterattack and do massive damage.

Leaze was shaken to decide whether to use a cannon, use cavalry, or wait for a signal of danger.

"... notify the first and second cavalry."Have a flame pot ready. "

Valletta had a steep expression on her face when she contacted Leaze over the radio.

If you send a cavalry to the front of the enemy, you are likely to receive arrows and become a beehive.

However, the risk of not doing so was too great, and I was reluctant to stop.

"Have you heard the signal yet!? What is Kylen doing?"

Leaze yelled in a hurried voice.

"Enemy range, 280 seconds left."I can't let you get any closer... ah!There was a signal! "

Valletta screams.

A little behind the senators, a faint blink of light blinked three times a second, chicking, chicking, and chicking.

Looks like they're moving the mirror around the torch to reflect light.

"Valletta, do it!"

Artillery strike!

Valletta instantly gave instructions to Leaze's voice.

The next moment, a roar rang.

After a beat, iron clumps attacked the densely packed senators.

Beyond Valletta's peeking binoculars, one of the senators who was hit by the shells flies a thousand times faster, involving the two senators behind him.

Two shots were fired directly at the congressmen in the surrounding area, which was similarly tragic.

Surprised by the nearby impact, Rata went on a rampage, and the senator continued to fall.

The missed bullets were also bouncing through the ground, blowing up the soldiers behind them.

"The next load. As soon as you're ready, shoot at the same spot."

Valletta gives instructions in a quiet tone.

---... I can't let you do this to Kazura-san.I'm glad you stayed with Nelson.

With unexpected long-range shelling, the senators, who were safe, seem confused by falling off their horses and desperately trying to indulge the violent rata.

But other legions and towers keep moving forward.

If we allow this to go forward, the enemy gas bombs will start attacking us in a few minutes.

I wish Kylen had given us a retreat order sooner, but how long will it take?

Leaze-sama, I'm going to propose a cavalry firepot attack.

Leaze nodded to McGregor's words.

I don't think we can do that if we pull the soldiers of the defensive positions up into the fort.

If we do that, the Senators and other Barber army commanders, other than Kaylen, will know that we have information on the use of the gas bombs.

We should not make any suspicious moves at a time when we are aiming at the Senators with cannons.

Given the way things were going, we really needed Kaylen to take control of the entire army.

Even if it's a slight possibility, we can't just act in the way of it.

"The first and second cavalry are notified."Prepare to charge into the incoming enemy mobile tower. "

Leaze said quietly, sweating on her forehead.

The cavalry had already prepared the flame pots, and they immediately received a "Ready" radio call.

"... set fire to the course of the tower and reverse it. Charge!"

As she gave instructions, the cavalry on both wings rushed out at once.
