Chapter 259. The Saint's Decision (4)
“Oh, are you using that from the beginning?”
“As expected, it is Arel-nim.”
The nobles applauded and agreed to my proposal to grind a large weapon from the beginning without thinking.
....I'm sure you're eating the commander with this taste.
These are the kids who will clap even when I poop.
And finally, when ready to fire, I gave the order without hesitation to shoot.
“But what if that fort had that deflecting shield, what would happen to the Iron Pillar?”
As soon as it was launched, someone suddenly muttered as if it was a pity.
And then the nobles open their mouths and everyone is silent and at a loss for words.
how does it happen
“Well, if it's still there, it'll bounce off.”
“Arel?!”
The nobles scream and turn to me, but the pillars have already been fired.
A giant pillar that shoots while coiling in a gust of wind.
After it flew towards the fort.
Teeing!
always come back here
A shield that applies the principle of reverse circulation.
In the Holy Land, it is called the shield of protection, right?
It is the effect of that artifact.
It's still a reflex performance that gives shit to the laws of physics.
“Ahh?! Reflected!”
....I can't believe these guys are just embarrassed about something like this! Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
I can't use it.
“Ehh.”
I sighed and nodded my head wordlessly.
“Dia.”
“No problem.”
Dia stepped forward and cast a spell.
The protection magic cast in several layers and the gust of wind slowed down the returning pillar.
And a small figure jumped between the soldiers' shingles.
Kania's older sister
She displayed transcendent physical abilities and literally jumped up.
It jumps as if it were walking in the sky.
The void walker.
In the meantime, you feel your skills again.
But when did you learn that?
My sister lunged through the air and swung her sword.
“Ha!”
The steel pillars are shattered and scattered.
And the remaining fragments were blown far away by Dia's magic.
Only then did sighs erupt from all over the place.
Some nobles suddenly notice while sitting down.
you are cheap!
Everyone is small.
Are you going to go to war like this?
I sighed in a different way and glared at the fortress.
It's annoying.
“Looks like the shield is still there.”
“huh? why? Why is everyone looking at me with such tired eyes? what happened?”
I trembled as if I knew nothing.
As if they didn't have the guts to complain to me, they only sent warm glances and said nothing.
After a noble said he had business for a while and allowed him to return to his barracks.
We started discussing the fortress attack plan.
“...Looks like Seongguk has also gathered all the available personnel and equipment. I also confirmed that the shield is still there.”
“Arel-sama, please don’t check twice... I thought my heart stopped.”
An aristocrat earnestly begs.
Everyone's like ‘Yeah! huh!' and nodded softly.
Well, I guess I went too far.
It was just a joke, thinking that if it bounced back, it wouldn't be a problem if it was our team.
On top of that, the Seongguk-side guys are also really thinking about shooting, and they're going to be in awe.
It was a bit of a check and a welcome greeting.
We are such crazy people. Growl.
....well, just kidding.
“As long as you have a shield, you are limited in using normal siege equipment. It will be difficult to respond with magic.”
The only way to break the shield was to still fight directly with the knights and weed them out one by one.
Therefore, the attack on this fort is, of course, inevitable.
This is the most painful situation to hold on to.
When supplies are cut off and enemies attack carefully.
Even if the defense is solid, it is a situation that has no choice but to go dry from the inside.
“At this rate, there will be no need to recklessly attack.”
“Even if we push into a longer game, our side will have an advantage.”
The other guys besides me are showing proud faces as if they had the same thoughts.
It's difficult if you're already conceited.
I looked at the map, wondering if I should pay attention.
If only that fortress is captured like this, the Holy Kingdom will lose the strength to endure any longer.
If the rest of us push through only the Saints, we won't be able to surrender without surrender.
‘...but is that the end?'
I used to confidently say things in front of others, but for some reason I'm not sure.
As expected, the culprit behind this war is Saint Nelvenia.
‘It was like this battle, so I couldn't find out her whereabouts until the end.'
Well, since she's a saint, she'll always be confined to the castle, so it's normal to be invisible on the battlefield.
Even so, I still felt a little uneasy.
Let's think in reverse.
Will I be still?
....at least I never did.
“I can’t.”
“yes?”
Hearing what I muttered, one of the nobles made a puzzled face.
“It's okay to dry them to death, but let's capture the castle as quickly as possible.
Tell them to dare to attack.”
“Why?”
“...I just feel bad.”
“yes?”
This is purely my hunch.
If the identity of the saintess I predict... or her environment matches what I'm concerned about.
Maybe...
it was then.
As if to cut off my thoughts, a messenger suddenly jumped in and delivered an urgent message.
“It's a big deal!”
“what? What's going on?”
“...how it should explain this...
the messenger was at a loss and confused.
It seems that something difficult to handle has happened.
I gave him some water to calm him down, and then told him to explain calmly again.
“...that's why the saintess appeared in the fortress.”
“Why is that woman there?”
Maybe to command the battle?
Do you have any talent like that?
However, it is not zero for that.
However, it seems that that is not the end of what the messenger is still trying to say.
“Actually... it appeared after the saintess appeared.”
“that? what is that?”
“???? that is.”
when he tried to explain
Suddenly, an unusual cry was heard from outside.
“...is this crying sound?”
“It's a dragon!”
The moment I realized the identity of the cry and frowned, the messenger shouted in terror.
“A dragon resides in Fort Caylan.”
Dragon?
For a moment, I involuntarily tilted my head.
Why is that stinking lizard being mentioned here?
That moment.
Once again, screams were heard from the fort.
I think this cry dragon is right?
“Dragon? Did you say dragon now?”
“Yes, it is.... It is the first time I have seen it, but it is definitely a dragon! You may not believe it, but it is true!”
“no way!”
I hurriedly ran out of the barracks.
Everyone said it was dangerous, but that's not the problem now.
I urgently checked the fortress in the distance with a telescopic magic tool.
Indeed, there is a white dragon perched above the fortress.
“A white dragon? why is that here What the hell happened?”
“That... that...
the messenger began to explain to me what they had seen, holding back a face that looked like it was going to cry at any moment.
