Chapter 250. That fort is irritating!
(3)
“To treat those who are taken prisoner respectfully as prisoners. Those who disobey will be dealt with severely.”
“Yes, I understand.”
When my order was given, the nobles urgently sent a messenger to deliver the order.
Watching the messenger leave the barracks, I was lost in thought for a moment.
It seems that somehow the shield problem can be dealt with.
I was worried that I might make a mistake or something.
Still, it seemed that the knights who had built up their skills through arduous training had played their part properly.
At the news of the victory, each nobleman was excited.
“Surely my knights.”
“Whoa whoop whoop who, can’t it be thanks to me?”
“If you ignore my ball, it will be difficult.”
Right now, the lords are talking among themselves and making noise as if the current fight was their own recognition.
don't forget It was the knights and soldiers who made the effort.
Hearing the self-congratulatory conversation among themselves, I resisted the urge to crave them.
really don't care
....I really hope God, please don't save those idiots.
Oh, but I saved you!
Ehh.... I feel weird for some reason.
I decided to ignore the stupid conversations of those idiots for now.
I have to listen carefully, only my ears are rotten.
“Before that, I can’t help but admire Arel-nim’s wisdom.”
“ah? okay?”
My praise is an exception, though.
Pretending not to listen, I pretended to listen to my praise that came rapidly.
I only hear compliments.
The rest I don't know.
If you have nothing to do, praise me.
“It's amazing that you discovered how to break a shield... but the weapon is also amazing.”
“Did you say it was big?”
“What is it? Hehehe.”
I felt a bit flattered by the compliment.
Bigger (飛車).
Originally, it is a device that glides on a principle similar to a glider invented in the Joseon Dynasty.
I measured its design to some extent and put it into battle this time.
Because it was measured through a magic tool, it can glide regardless of the presence or absence of wind.
Through the bigger that was put in this time, the enemy's position was identified from the sky.
It indicates enemy positions with real-time communications and bow marks.
It's like an aerial scout.
At first, I ran it in a hasty way, but fortunately it worked.
‘Originally, it was intended for contact, reconnaissance, and air invasion, but it was unexpectedly used for this purpose.'
Even if it wasn't because of this war, I was still thinking about air power.
In fact, there is no aerial power here at all.
Among some countries, there are tactics to handle monsters by breeding them, and in old records, it is said that there were military units dealing with griffons or wyverns in the past.
However, it is not used very often these days.
There is only one reason.
Because of the development of magic.
Monsters can only fly because of the magic generated from their wings, so the countermeasure is extremely simple.
Even if you interrupt the flow of dispel or magical power, it will fall like a mosquito that has been poisoned.
These days, there are many wizards with good skills, so it is even easier to deal with wide-area dispels because they are not that difficult.
In particular, it is said that the effect is greater for monsters bred by humans rather than wild monsters.
Does magic resistance decrease when held in human hands?
Another realistic reason is that it is difficult to use monsters for military purposes unlike horses because they are difficult to breed.
If you have a lot of money, you can keep it as a pet anyway.
However, for military use, the premise is different.
It is not easy to arrange both the cost of food and skilled personnel to ride.
It is not suitable for military use.
Therefore, the general trend is not to use monsters in earnest except for minimal reconnaissance purposes.
All I've done with Fry from the previous war was secretly use it for a scout or two.
Therefore, it was necessary to use a flying tool that was not affected by magical power.
Even so, even if it was treated with magic for mid-air suspension or floating.
Since it functions as a glider, there is no immediate problem even if it gets hit by a dispel.
The risk of falling is... but you have to take it.
Its original purpose was to blow it up and infiltrate the knights.
There is a parachute-like countermeasure.
“Besides that, there are other things that can be used, so look forward to it.”
“etc? iced coffee?????? Is that what you mean?”
The nobles nodded, understanding what I was talking about.
While explaining this operation, I briefly explained the other weapons brought this time, including the Bigger.
And outside, the soldiers are preparing now.
“Are you going to use it again to capture the fortress?”
“I think so. It's a shame to let it rot, and more than anything else, I brought it for that purpose. I'll have to try it out here.”
With the enemy retreating, all that remains is to capture and capture the border forts.
“There is no hurry. Let’s tighten each one in order.”
As I said that, I pointed to the fortress of the Holy Kingdom drawn on the map.
And all the while, my fingers slipped and finally headed to the central city of the Holy Kingdom.
“It's just moving forward like this.”
Full speed ahead!
Please wait, lady.
I'm going to see you soon.
I don't have one or two questions I want to ask, so I hope you'll wait patiently. Hna laughed like a villain.
The thought of going to Seongguk for a housewarming soon made me feel happy.
In order to do that, I have to clean it up in order first, right?
I took my hand off the map and this time pointed straight ahead.
What lies ahead is the border fortress where the Paladins have just retreated and locked themselves in by now.
should i get rid of that?
“That fort is really annoying.”
“yes?”
“No… I just wanted to say this.”
It doesn't make any sense.
It's real.
Why is there such a legend?
If the High One beckons and says that mountain is disturbing, that mountain will soon disappear.
I wanted to imitate it once.
“It's great... I never thought things would turn out like this.”
Brex, Commander of Nuatn Fort, had to taste the bitterness in his stomach as he looked ahead from the fort walls.
In front of me, I could see an army of soldiers, already dark, swarming.
The Ernesian army, which had barely been driven out, had advanced to the front of the fortress again and was striking a position.
Behind him, Krenz, wounded, looked down in disdain.
“I have no face, Sir Brex....
My unseemly run away... has caused embarrassment.”
“No.... If you say that, then I, who cannot rely on you, have nothing to say?”
None of them would have expected it.
I never thought that the shield I was so confident in would break so quickly!
“Arel Ernesia... It seems there is no doubt that she is more cunning than rumors.”
Muttering half in admiration and half in fear, Krenz kept his mouth shut and suffered as if he had nothing to say sincerely.
Right now, Ernesia's army is camped in front of the fortress and has yet to show any action.
But the current silence won't last long.
They will want to advance past this fort.
He has no intention of letting them in no matter what.
“hmm'?”
At that time, a not small shadow passed over their heads.
When I asked what it was, it was a griffon.
“griffon?! Are you going to do a surprise attack?”
I hurriedly ordered the wizards to drop it with a dispel, but the griffon was already far away.
What are you doing?
I was just staring at the back of the griffon in awe, only to notice that something was rolling at my feet.
“Something?”
It is like a small crystal ball.
I've seen it.
this is a communication tool
“Correspondence? As soon as I put that question into my mouth, magic was generated in the communication port, and someone's voice came out from within.
“Can you hear me? Commander of Fort Nuaton. .... I'll ask again. Can you hear me?”
“. Kuk”
I almost threw the communication phrase reflexively.
“I can hear you, as I can hear your bewildered breathing.”
The main character with a slightly laughing tone and a voice that seems to be handing out a joke.
In response to that voice, Brex was silent and didn't respond quickly.
It's a trap or a concern.
“Don’t be on your guard. It's just a simple communication tool. When this contact is over, it doesn't matter if you destroy it.”
“Can't you stand...?”
“Ah, yes. You don't know me, just as I don't know your name. sorry for this I'm not used to talking to someone who doesn't know me, so I'm sorry.”
“Right.”
At that point, Brex was half-sure who the voice belonged to.
“I am Ernesia Arell, the 3rd Prince of the Kingdom of Ernesia and entrusted with the authority to command the army this time.”
“My name is Brex Trenita. He is the commander-in-chief of this fortress.”
In peacetime, he would have treated them with respect as they were royalty in a foreign country, but now it's wartime.
You don't have to be polite.
Still, being overly rude is not the right thing to do, so he calmly introduced himself and responded.
“First of all, I would like to apologize for suddenly asking for a conversation by this means. Unlike the others, I do not have a loud voice and my body is weak, so it is difficult to convey my words without these means.”
“…I won’t ask about that.”
He had to suppress the urge to swear inwardly as he spat out these words.
“What the hell do you want to say?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. There is just one thing I want to ask you.”
Arel delivered the request very simply.
“Empty the fort. Get out of the way until our army passes.”
“...Stop talking nonsense.”
He flatly refused.
“I don’t know how it feels to be rejected. But what about it? As long as it's empty for a while, we promise we won't do you any harm.”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
He refused again with the same words.
“It is the main officer's mission to protect this fortress. I took over this place with the determination to remain here even if I die or become bones.”
“I know that. But what about it? Aren’t you the only one who needs to endure there to become a bone?”
“Sophistry.”
“Think about it. We never want to occupy the territory of the Holy Kingdom. They just want to pay for their suspicions. We are just passing by.”
“Stop talking nonsense. I have no heart to be swayed by your sophistry.”
Adamantly, he refused to speak.
“If you really want to go over, you will either have to tear down this fort or slit my throat.”
“...I guess so.”
Arel muttered bitterly from the other side of the communication port.
“Then do you intend to fight to the end?”
“Of course! That is the mission of all who guard this my...
Fort Nuaten! Even if I die, it will not change!”
“...If that's what you're determined to do, I'll fully respect your will. Just...
don't resent me.”
After that, the communication port flickered.
Brex looked down at the communication port, from which he could no longer hear anything, then dropped it and stomped it hard.
“No matter what happens, we will protect this fortress. I will never let them through!”
It was a time when he resolutely shouted in front of his subordinates and made up his mind.
“Prepare for a defensive battle right now....
It was the moment when I made up my mind not to let them in, no matter what.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
