Chapter 85.2: Spike Castle Siege
The walls of the castle, which would have been able to withstand rock drop, werent able to hold on.
Because of his power, he is called a walking castle wall hammer.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
The power of iron meteor is not as much as an actual meteor fall. It did destroy that wall so it can be considered as a siege weapon in this medieval fantasy world.
Its an intense blow of steel.
It was at that moment that the lone gunner on the wall of the City of Spike, held her breath and concentrated on her target.
Giney, a red-hair gunner, glared at the target when he was chanting loudly.
Giney was a former vigilante of Ona Village and one of the veteran gunners who had studied sniping from the very start with Lyle-sensei.
She was the only one left in the turret and she aimed at the advance mage who was using flashy magic.
Using the old-style turret might not really be accurate but she has experience and perhaps luck is on her side too.
Giney took the shot and an iron ball came out.
Boom!
The aim was just right.
It was a direct hit and the impact alone sent the soldiers around Doryuken into a mist of blood.
However, thats all the iron ball did.
Doryuken himself was protected by a magic barrier.
Fuh, so thats the new weapon of Silesie. That surprised me
Of course, Doryuken is an advance mage who had fought in many battles so he was prepared for the enemys attack.
He survived the bombardment. He probably thought that his large-scale siege magic could easily beat the enemys new weapon.
Thus, he let his guard down.
His magic crushed the enemys stronghold and as he cheered and watched his soldiers rush into the city, he was caught off guard.
Ortholet, be the man you are. Youre the only one who can do it.
Hero-sama, I respectfully accept that role, I will do my best!
If we win this war, you will be known as the great general of salvation. If that happens, forget about recapturing the City of Spike, you will be the great lord of the north part of the kingdom. That includes the City of Lauren.
I-Im unaware of the great will of hero-sama. Im ashamed of complaining about something trivial.Im like a spoiled brat.
Ortholet is not in tears. Hes a simple man after all.
I hope he wont be used by evildoers in the future.
As a matter of fact, we dont know how much leadership ability he has.
However, as long as he can command the army and continue to be trustworthy, hell reach the level of barely passable.
Though I dislike something about him hes too clean. Even so, he put the people first and rebuilt the City of Spike. He can be categorized as an excellent lord.
Hes a talent that I absolutely wont allow to die here.
Ortholet, when I saw you before, I knew that you have what it takes to be a great general. Fight with me to the end and survive.
He-hero-sama.I will put my life in your hand.
Use that life well, do your best and dont die.
Yes, gozaru.
Ortholet is having a manly cry. I dont mind how much you want to cry but can you please spare my waist? Youre hugging my waist too tight.
Starting now, his struggle will start.
Now, the preparation of the main army is complete. I hope that the castle army in the Oracles Great cave is doing well. I can only pray for them.
When it comes to major strategy, its impossible to do anything by yourself.
Im sure Prince Freed is someone who wants to do everything himself. Hes probably not satisfied with just commanding an army of 70000 and is probably itching to get to business.
You should wash your neck and wait because Ill cut it soon.
