The Branded Female Fencer

At first glance, the walls surrounded the open place in a semi-circle, and the walls were made to be easy to shoot arrows. A trap named Gate. After climbing the cliff, it would be easier to hit the gate.

However, the height of the gate itself is double that of the cliff. There must have been some kind of trick on the cliff, and the rocks were exposed to the wind for a long time. I wondered if I could walk properly with armor. Even if I take one of these, I can't take it anymore. Looking at the opening of the gate, they had to handle the large wraparound chains in two places at the same time, and there was a steel lattice coming down from the inside, and they also wrapped the wrapped chains in two places at the same time, and the sturdiness of the main gate finally opened, and they all sighed unexpectedly.

You can see that Anneclose is somewhat passionate.

"From here, the old town is the best. Residences, commercial buildings, and ground army bases.”

How many inhabitants are there?

"It's about 800,000." Almost everything will be the family of a military official. "

“On the other hand, are the young people mostly military?”

"Close to that."

As Anneclose put it, the citizens who greeted them inside were mostly old people, women and children. The number was small, and Alpha Reese was convinced by the lack of elegance in the cityscape.

Roman's Land is not a commercial city. Perhaps there are arable lands deep down, but the country itself is like a huge military base. As a result, there is not a single open-air street. If there is a shop that sells only the necessities of life, it will be established. Or even the country itself may be rationing it.

A gigantic military state established by compelling others to obey by force and making tribute. That is the essence of Romansland, and they intend to be rulers to the people. In fact, they are casting a suspicious gaze on the Alpha Leiths with a disgusting look on their faces.

Still, everyone knows about Anneclose, and when she raised her hand quickly, the inhabitants hung their heads down. However, it was on the contrary creepy for Alpha Reese to be unable to read that expression.

"... I wonder if this square is meant to draw enemies in and destroy them?"

"For this reason, the perimeter of the gate is solidified with tall multifamily houses. If I have to, I'll become a shield or a cage."

"The road is also narrow." I'm working on it. ”

"Sometimes the city plan is a bit stupid, but it turned into a little labyrinth." We can't go straight to the two gates. "

"What about the water?"

"I don't struggle because of the snow melt."

Is this whole city surrounded by walls?

"Yes, it is."

If you have 800,000 people, it's like surrounding Meecia with a whole gate. I wonder if the huge walls of the city don't have any defeat. With such suspicion, Alfilise travels the streets under Anneclose. The road was rising gently, but sometimes it was steep enough for the horse to struggle to move on. Stairs suddenly pop up, and it's hard to get around.

The streets are narrow, and it is difficult for a horse to pass by without walking alongside three horses.

"I think we can fight enough in the city." Besides, it's hard to capture them completely. "

"I guess so. There are a lot of alleys and houses that we don't know well enough about." If the gate is dropped, we'll be able to fight hard enough here. It would also take some time to fully conquer the opponent. We always have the best of both worlds. "

“Is the second gate still open?

"It takes an hour for the horse to walk. Let's move on slowly."

So much!

The party finally arrived at the two gates, taking a break along the way. The gate was erected on a hill, and now it was a simple structure, but in the first place it was climbed 200 steps to the gate. It may have been intentionally constructed like this, but now it cannot properly be attached to the gate.

From there, Anneclose prompted me to look behind me, and the lower town was already clearing up. Jaeger was stunned by the distance he was climbing.

And though the two gates themselves were flat, they boasted nearly twice the height of the one gate. This time, through the relatively easy-open gate, a staircase of unseen length emerged. Even Alphilees has an inadvertently boisterous structure.

Huh, you're climbing this?

"That's right, climbing on a horse can be tough, right?" Do you understand why ground units don't develop? "

That's why the ground troops have a training ground and other bases in the city area.

"Exactly. Usually dragons come and go more than the second tier." In other words, those who cannot ride the dragon are not eligible to be nobles. "

It's true that this is a unique sensibility in Roman's Land.

Alpha Leiths began to climb the stairs slowly, so as not to overburden the horses. I stopped twice along the way and climbed up without difficulty.

Few of Jaeger's well-trained warriors are breathless.

Even Lisa, who was just riding her horse, began to express her dissatisfaction.

How many steps did you climb... I counted to about 3,000, though.

"I can't see the two gates... How many steps are there?"

"6557 steps."

Ugh!

Lisa couldn't help but rush into Alpha Reese, who let out a furious voice from the girls. In it, Anneclose looked up at the sky.

"Well, it's almost time to arrive." Look up. "

What are you... rock bridges?

"It's a rock bridge over the sky." It is said to have existed since the founding of the nation. If you can ride a flying dragon, it's a little stylish to rest on top of it. "

"Unique to Roman's Land..."

Lisa gave her her best thoughts as she exhausted her breath. At the same time, the fog was clear and the gate was visible.

"The fog's clear."

"Rather than fog, it's clouds."

Are you so high up?

"I see. Thanks to this, it's hard to find a nesting place for the Flying Dragon." You are the first time that a large number of people from another country have entered this area, except for Friederinde. ”

What about Müller's steelmen?

"Do you think that heavy equipment will get you this far?" Just some of the executives. Otherwise, they were stationed on the second floor. Now, let's take another breath. "

Anneclose prompted them to climb up the hill, and something even more surprising awaited them.
