Chapter 181: Be lucky and don’t die!
What was that just now!? Magic!?
What a deafening sound!
And those tremors and storms of dustit was so powerful!
Look up there! Theres smoke thereis that where theyre firing that wide-range magic!?
Youve gotta be kidding me! No way we can we fight against that! Lets just run!
The soldiers, all of whom havent seen a cannon before, thought that the attack just now was some kind of magic.
Seeing such tremendous power filled them with dread, prompting them to escape to as far a place as possible.
E-Edel-sama! Its too dangerous! At this rate, we wont be able to approach!
Calm yourself! Look closely at the ground! Not that much has holes in them!
As the cloud of dust gradually cleared, they were able to see the condition of the ground ahead.
While the ground was gouged quite deeply here and there, there were about 10 or so meters between the holes. That meant that compared to a volley of arrows, the chances of receiving a direct hit should be lower.
Be lucky and dont die! Go!
O-ooooooo!
The remaining soldiers gave a do-or-die shout and then simultaneously restarted their march toward the capital.
However, as though to snatch away their newfound resolve, another volley of cannon fire descended upon them. Thunder, tremors, and flying dirt happened once again.
Some soldiers couldnt endure the fear anymore and left.
Like that, he swung his club against the gate. That single blow destroyed the said gate, allowing him to pass through.
what power.
He probably possessed some kind of Gift.
With a person who could do something like that, it was no wonder the Albert army was unmatched in castle sieges.
On a side note, Gifts that granted overwhelming power to people was another reason why weaponry development had such low priority.
Oh well, its still within our assumptions.
The Albert army got into the capital and were now headed toward the palace.
However, when about half of them had made it into the capital, I rebuilt the destroyed gate.
!?
The gate fixed itself!?
We cant get in!?
The gate suddenly reappearing before them, the soldiers at the back were forced to stop.
That resulted in nearly 3,000 soldiers being unable to enter the capital.
I had already incorporated the royal capital into my village, so not only was I able to build walls, I was also able to do other things like instantly rebuilding the destroyed gate.
My father didnt seem aware of what happened to those in the rear. At the very least he didnt stop the march of the remaining 2,000 soldiers toward the palace.
The end of this battle was getting closer and closer.
