Episode 611. War and war (3) However, Maltenel was unexpectedly stroking his chin and listening obediently.
“Yeah, that is the problem. Would you have said that?”
Rather, he smiled as if he had been waiting for the answer.
“Then, can you give me the support that will make it possible?”
“???? yes.”
The adjutant nodded slowly.
I don’t know what kind of support they can provide, but it’s impossible.
Even if it is possible, if you launch an unreasonable attack, you do not know how many casualties your allies will suffer.
But I have no choice but to nod my head.
He couldn’t afford to be treated like his boss.
“good night. I will support you.”
Maltenel smiled ominously and said he would make up for the lack.
“I will fill in the lacking things you said. Especially the fraud part.”
He clapped his hands and ordered something to be brought.
“I will give you ignorant courage and madness. So, do your best in the war you like, humans.”
His eyes, as if they were enjoying themselves, seemed rather gleaming with madness.
“And then, while being sick of that war, end it badly. human.”
It was the figure of a human being who despises and hates something other than a helper.
Kania got out of the middle of the meeting and looked ahead from the top of the fortress wall.
I didn’t run away because my head hurt to discuss it.
Defensive strategies and command are only for those who are skilled in the geography and experience of this place.
Rather, what she cared about was another matter.
“The atmosphere is strange… …
A strange feeling of uneasiness that I felt a little while ago.
Her senses felt strangely agitated.
What is it?
Meika, who was waiting while working here, spoke to her.
“leader? Looking at it roughly, everyone was looking for it below? I think the person who should be attending the meeting is saying where has gone?”
“meeting?”
Kania slightly frowned.
It’s annoying.
Then he waved his hands.
“it’s okay. Anyway, what about this strategy and how do you review it?”
“… … Would you like to go?”
“Let them judge and get off.”
We will respect the judgment of the field manager.
Kania spat out such appropriate words and murmured.
“Anyway, that’s not it… …
Then take a break. It’s not the captain’s job to look over there anyway.”
It is better for soldiers to stand guard.
Even if a person like her was walking around, the soldiers would not be able to cheer up.
It’s much more helpful to take a break at that time and recover your physical strength.
“Or could you help me with this?”
“… … What is it? Camouflage cloth?”
Come to think of it, I was concerned about the fabric that Meika had been fiddling with while sitting here a while ago.
“yes. It’s an ambush cloth.”
It is a cloth that the knights wear when ambushing them on a mountain.
It seems that Meika was servicing it by hand.
“It’s a little torn. You have to fix it in order to use it. They said it would be used for the next operation.”
“Why don’t you buy it if it’s broken?”
“Ugh budget. This time.”
Kania was at a loss for words.
Wherever you go, the budget is the public enemy.
No, before that, he was so stressed out that he had to work on it himself?
Kania was confused.
“Right now, everyone is busy, so there is no time or money. I can’t help it.”
It must mean that even the Kingdom of Ernesia could not afford to relax in the midst of a war like this.
Kania sighed and eventually decided to help Meika with her work.
Rather than going to a meeting, I’d rather be sewing.
However, after 30 seconds of wrestling with the needle, I heard a cool tearing sound.
Because the thread was twisted incorrectly, when the thread was pulled, the pointless cloth was further torn.
“… … uh’?”
“leader?”
Meika looked at her resentfully.
“First of all, you’re from a princess, right?!”
“no… … wait a mistake… … Rather than that, how old are you!”
It is prejudice.
Who would have thought royalty could be good at sewing?
Most of all, learning through culture is embroidery, but it is far from this kind of thing.
“Even though… … I can be good at pulling an aura as thin as a thread.”
“Where are you going to write that?”
“It is surprisingly useful. Either hang your ankles or switch to an invisible blade and wield it.”
“yes. yes. You see. But it doesn’t help my work.”
“Ugh. … … Can you do anything else?”
“Which one?”
“Something like cutting without using a sword or hands.”
“Is that going to happen? Other than that, I don’t understand what that is?! How the hell are you supposed to cut without using a sword?”
“If you do well, what will happen? I am practicing these days.”
“yes. Still, it doesn’t help the work.”
Eventually, the work fell to Meika.
It always happened anyway, so I didn’t have to worry about it.
“really! And.”
She shrugged her shoulders and pointed outside the fort as if trying to divert the topic.
He must have noticed what Kania was uptight about.
“They will have to work on their morale and stamina once, so they won’t attack right away.”
It was time to talk about common sense.
At some point, Meika realized that Kania’s complexion had hardened.
It wasn’t because of the fabric he tore.
“… … something now… … for a moment?”
Kania muttered and hurriedly pulled out a magic tool for long-distance vision and activated it.
Then, the faraway point of view zoomed in and saw the two in front of them.
“???? This?”
w.’ Really?”
Both of them were speechless.
What he could see over there now were the soldiers of the Principality of Elben.
Seeing them marching again, the two men trembled in absurdity.
“Did you go out again? Aren’t you coming back to find something you forgot? Does that make sense?”
“Hey? Obviously, those are the ones who left earlier. yes?”
“I don’t even know the faces of the soldiers. But I remember seeing the article mixed in with me. If it wasn’t for the catapult, he would have been crushed.”
I remember the image of him cheering like the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ernesia.
The two are almost certain.
For some reason, those who had retreated are dispatching troops again and heading this way.
“Didn’t Meika tell me something a moment ago?”
“… … Please pretend you didn’t hear it.”
While the two were silent, the rest of the soldiers hurriedly announced an emergency and started preparing.
Again, something is strange this time.
And it was only after they attacked that I realized the identity of the sense of incongruity.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Ernesia, who were currently fighting hard on top of the fortress, became stiff for a moment, like new recruits going to war for the first time in their lives.
that moment.
As if not to miss the gap, the wrists that climbed up stirred in front of their eyes.
“What are you doing! Do you want to die!”
When the leaders of each group shouted, the soldiers hurriedly moved again.
He hurriedly slashed the wrist of a soldier from the Principality of Elben who had climbed up the wall, and then the soldier next to him pierced his long spear and pushed it off with all his might.
“Aaaaaaaaagh!”
I don’t know if it’s screaming or yelling, but I can’t tell from all directions.
“under?????? ha?????? under?…
Soldiers exhale from tension and exhaustion, but there is no time to catch their breath.
If you drop one, the next soldiers will climb up and attack you.
There is a limit to dropping one by one.
In less than an hour, the arms of the soldiers stabbing spears and drawing bowstrings began to tremble slightly.
“Move! Get out of the way!”
Behind the exhausted soldiers in their haste, other soldiers rushed with carts.
The cart is full of black powder.
“Move! If it touches us, even we can’t do it! Get out of the way!”
Hearing the shout, the soldiers hurriedly took a step back, and they poured the black powder from the cart outward.
As the powder poured down and adhered to the bodies of the enemy soldiers, it caught fire and the soldiers who climbed up screamed and fell.
However, it fills up the empty spot for a while, and the enemy soldiers continue to stick to it.
The ladder used by the enemy soldiers immediately collapsed.
But, why didn’t they use the bodies of their allies as support this time and pile them up like a mixture of corpses and living allies and come up?
I had no choice but to tremble and hate this situation.
“… … Tenacious guys.”
“Aren’t those guys worth their lives… …
“It doesn’t look like it’s a pity.”
What can be heard from the outside is screams and cheers, but it is hard to believe that any sounds are human.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Eventually, due to the carelessness of our allies, a soldier from the Principality of Elben climbed up the wall.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
He ran frantically with the whites of his eyes turned inside out.
Although the soldiers quickly pierce them with spears and try to push them away.
Rather, isn’t it going wild regardless of whether the body is pierced or not?
After running rampant like that, he lost his weapon for a moment, and when he lost his weapon, he attacked with a biting momentum this time.
“Is this guy crazy… …
Even though it was only one enemy soldier, three Kingdom Army soldiers had to cling to it so that it could barely breathe and throw it outside.
“… … It’s like an animal wearing human skin.”
“That is what I mean.”
The soldiers and knights stuck out their tongues and complained as if they were fed up.
It was always like this.
It wasn’t like this even before they retreated a little while ago.
But as soon as they entered the siege, the soldiers of the Principality of Elben rushed like crazy.
Even now, none of the guys running rampant to climb the fortress are in good health.
Some of them come up even though one arm is broken and shaking in an ominous direction.
There are those who run at me whether or not they get hit by the sword.
“I don’t know what the hell we’re fighting against… … ?”
“???? Mmm.”
But there is no room for complaint.
In the meantime, they are attacking like crazy.
Just by blocking it, the soldiers have no choice but to show their exhaustion.
Since this is the situation, a meeting was in full swing inside the fortress.
“I have to say I’m crazy.”
Viscount Tell frowned as he watched the maddening soldiers of the Principality of Elben falling into a beehive with a magic tool.
“How barbaric… …
“That’s more than savagery. I can only say that I lost this castle.”
Marquis Feltain, the final manager of this place, shook his head and said.
“It’s definitely not the way sane people fight.”
“Dealing with a madman would be better than this.”
“They seem to come at me whether or not they break their arms or their necks.”
“Even when I was cut and cut in half, there were reports of people crawling and trying to bite me… …
The commanders shuddered in horror.
This is the extent of what he saw in person or received reports from his subordinates.
“… … I don’t even want to admit that this is a war.”
Margrave Feltain muttered with anger.
I have no intention of affirming or acknowledging the war.
We know that war itself is ugly.
Even so, what is this now?
Did they have even the slightest courage or cause?
Don’t you just rush at it while losing your reason?
A beast would be more dignified than that.
“That’s it? That they’re crazy right now?”
Kania, who had been sitting here with her mouth shut the whole time, seemed displeased, and asked displeasedly.
There was no way she would take this situation well.
