The Branded Female Fencer
Beginning of the war, the death battle in front of the gate of the 21-22 ③ ~
Front row, three rows of squares! Heavy Infantry, forward! "
Hold your shields! Keep going at speed!
At the behest of the front generals, heavy infantry, protected by armor and shields, began to advance. Alongside the platforms in front of the two gates, the united army was forced to let the ants escape.
Oddly enough, the armor they were equipped with was made from iron ore from Romanesque lands. With the same material, I figured it wouldn't be so easy to pull out if I even did the magic treatment.
When they approached about halfway to the earth, a loud recoil sounded. Then, along with the sound of the wind breaking, a vertical line of heavy infantry in three horizontal rows was easily skewered and pulled out.
When the big shield of the soldier in the last row flashed in the air and hit the head of the soldier who was approaching from the rear, and the soldier did nothing and cut off half of his head and died, the Allied advance was unexpectedly stopped.
Then a shield dancing in the sky fell, rolling on the ground and falling, screams began to emerge from all over the place.
"U, uwaaaaa!"
"W-What happened!?"
A giant arrow skewered all three of my heavy infantry!
"Calm down, you guys! You're disrupting the line?"
An arrow struck the head of the general who tried to form a line at the head. Jaeger uses bows and arrows that are more than three times the range of a normal bow. When the Explorer used it, and then used the height difference and wind magic to shoot it, they didn't know exactly how far they would fly.
They still don't know that if the Auri, the greatest archer in the Explorer, were to shoot, almost all of this plateau would be within range.
They didn't have time to think about it, and they didn't even have time to rearrange the line. No, they didn't even have time to disturb it, and the recoil came from the gate without interruption. At the same time, huge arrows hit the heavy infantry in succession, and the line of heavy infantry was easily devoured like a piece of paper.
"Hey, what the hell is this arrow!" Even a crossbow (barista) is too powerful! "
"... he's remodeling it."
Trevi, who became the commander of the castle assailant, grunted bitterly. I remember the face of Jaeger's commander, Alpha Reese, who once recovered his weapon as a prototype when he lost. She wasn't most interested in siege weapons, she was most interested in mounted archery bows and stone throwers. In particular, what she was looking at were the wind-up parts for flying distance and the wood parts for shaving distance. If that part has been remodeled, it's not surprising that a powerful crossbow bow has been completed that is incomparable.
I can understand that the recoil sounds so loud, and I got a very powerful strings material. The arrows that were fired were almost as big as spears. This kind of thing has flown in a straight line, but it cannot be prevented by the shield of the cityscape. But it's Trevy that brings out the weaknesses.
"Calm down! You shouldn't be able to use that much continuously, and you should have a lot of powerful tricks and limited endurance!" After the bombardment, we can clear a gap! At that time, advance at full speed. "
Before Trevi's words were finished, a more accurate second shot was flying. Half-destroyed heavy infantry have been wiped out and destroyed this time. The more difficult it is to find someone who is already safe, rather than someone who is trapped in human form, the more the scene unfolds. Beyond the sight, you can see the Romanesque ground forces that open the gate, step out, and form up.
While Trevi surprisedly gave the order, Shane Sereno ordered the word to be taken over.
"You're right! Their arrows are breaking somewhere." Until then, don't stop moving forward! If you stop, they'll do what they want! "
"I don't need shields, switch to lightweight and advance at full speed!" Step over the corpses of our allies and move on! "
After seeing the brutal sight just now, how can you maintain such high morale? Soldiers climb one after another from the ramp leading to the plateau. They took off their useless weapons on the spot and started madly moving forward.
Is this--is this some kind of magic?
"These guys in this army are insane."
The castle attackers' mercenaries frightened, and the bewildered soldiers began to move forward. There were no more lines, but if you try to stop here, you'll be trampled on. More than that, the entangled soldiers began their assault with mad cheers.
The Black Hawk mercenaries who are here, and some of Gruzard's troops, are no exception.
"Shit, I'm not kidding!" This can't be lowered! "
"You want me to survive this reckless battle?" I don't have a pervert priest, you son of a bitch! "
Mireille, where are you looking?
While the former Black Hawk mercenaries couldn't hide their impatience, Mireille was the only one who was quiet.
Amarina, where do you think we can survive?
"... I don't know, but I think it's true that there's a lot of room if you get close to a big gate."
"I agree. It's surprisingly easy to fight a giant beast." Now, have you decided on a policy? "
... hey, hey, hey, hey.
Grace was dazed and looked at Mireille's gaze.
There's something alive in the middle of death.
"I can only see death." If you reach it, what do you do from there? "
I wonder if it can only become?
"Oh, I should have gone to the commander."
"You can't die in front of your husband, can you?"
"Are you kidding me? I don't want to be seen any more than that!"
Grace swung her big sword in a sharp mood and forced the soldiers around her.
"Shhhh, let's go!" Get out of the way, you guys, I'm coming through! "
"Nice, Grace's switched on." Does this increase your chances of surviving a little? Also, it's time to move. Behind you, it's not safe anymore. "
Here too?
Why don't you take a look up there?
Looking at Mireille's pointing direction, Amarina changed her expression and moved forward. I see, I don't feel like I can survive very well here.
