The attack on Doishunomuharuto. I wish a strategy guide was sold somewhere.
The Allied Forces of the Asht Empire and the Rothfar Kingdom attacked the city occupied by the Demon Army. Rothfar had siege weapons, and they were currently throwing stones with all their might.
“They’re terrible…”
“Isn’t it difficult? They’re throwing such large stones… Ah! That one was close!”
The Orcs barricaded themselves in the city of Doishunomuharuto and showed no intention of coming out. It was the same as the city of Schreia, which we attacked, but Christine was not with the Allied Forces.
“This is going nowhere. Should we send Christine in?”
“I absolutely object. I can’t make Christine go through such hardship. I can’t let Christine, who was so exhausted, go through the same thing again. I’ll consider it if I can nurse her all night.”
“The Orcs aren’t coming out, and with Rothfar’s catapults, I think we’ll be fine if we take our time. Besides, we’re waiting for a secret weapon.”
“Is it Richarda?”
Richarda, the Earth Mage. While it’s considered first-class to be able to create three Troll-class large Golems, she is a genius Archmage who combined them to create a Giant-class Golem. She’s probably not used to the battlefield yet, but her father looks forward to her future.
“I sent a secondary messenger to Keibeck after we took Schreiaschwald to refuse the siege weapons and to ask Harm to lend us Richarda. How did you know she’s called Richarda?”
She’s not the Vice-Captain of the White Lily Corps for nothing. I sometimes like Priscilla, who has a quick mind. It would be even better if she were quicker every time.
“I had the assault on Doishunomuharuto in mind. The heavy damage was a miscalculation, but without siege weapons, we need Richarda’s Earth Magic.”
“Will it be useful?”
“Even though it’s a castle wall, it’s an earthen wall. Moreover, we might be able to break through the castle gate with the Giant Golem.”
“…I see.”
Priscilla probably doesn’t want Richarda to be on the front lines. Is it maternal instinct? If so, I’m the father, Priscilla is the mother, and Richarda is our daughter!? I want to create a happy family together.
“When will she arrive?”
“I thought she’d make it in time. I think she’ll be here soon. Shall we head back?”
“Yes. I wonder how much bigger her breasts have gotten.”
If she takes after Priscilla, they’ll surely grow. Well, any impure man who approaches her will probably be cut in half. …Will I be included?
When we returned to the White Lily Corps, we saw six horses running from a distance. Priscilla and Alana seemed to see who had arrived, but I, with my 1.5 vision, couldn’t tell. Is it because my presbyopia has started?
“Eterna Wales, under Marquis Meredith McGregor. I have brought along Lord Richarda Schönheid.”
Why are they escorting Keibeck? Richarda belongs to the Harm army. Did Yuma make a move behind the scenes, and in a bad way? Or a good way?
There are probably complex circumstances, but for Yuma, it was quite a good move. This Eterna Wales is as young and beautiful as Miss Meredith.
“I am the Hero Mikael Sin. Why is Keibeck providing protection?”
And her affiliation, age, measurements, whether she has a boyfriend, and her plans for later? I’m the Hero, am I in your strike zone?
“By order of Marquis McGregor, I escorted Lord Schönheid. Harm seems to be a bunch of weaklings who can’t even protect their women.”
Yuma… You’re sentenced to death later. She sent a strong-willed woman, doesn’t she? She’s cute, though. I’m tired of strong-willed women from the White Lily Corps. Or perhaps I’ve gotten used to it.
“Harm has its reasons, Lady Wales.”
Why do I have to make excuses? Well, she brought Richarda safely, so it’s fine. The work is done. Go home quickly.
“I apologize for the delay, Captain. No, Hero.”
That’s where I want to be called “Father” with paternal feelings.
That’s where I want to be called “Onii-chan” with sibling feelings.
That’s where I want to be called “Goshujin-sama” with lustful…
“Oto… I’ve been waiting for you. Without further ado, please join the White Lily Corps. What about Lady Wales and the others?”
Go home! I’ve had enough of strong-willed women. Of course, I’ll vacate a bed for you, but go home!
“Isn’t it fine to keep them as guards?”
What happened to your quick thinking today!? Are you that sharp when you’re not drinking? Or are you fast because you’re drinking?
“I wish to remain. I will show these White Lily Corps the strength of Keibeck.”
Why are you so belligerent? You’d be cuter if you smiled. Have you forgotten that Keibeck was thoroughly defeated by the Demon Army?
“I don’t expect anything from an army that was soundly beaten.”
I say it in my heart many times… I shouldn’t say that! The two glared at each other at close range, and if there were a referee, they’d want to shout, “Hakkeyoi, nokotta!”
“Wait, wait! Priscilla, please return to the White Lily Corps. Lady Wales, I’ll ask you to escort Richarda. We have important roles to fulfill from now on.”
There was no gap to cut into, rather, there was a gap I wanted to cut into. The two glared at each other from above and below, and the tense situation ended as usual.
“……It’s work.”
So is mine…
“Attach to the castle walls of Doishunomuharuto, and break through the walls in the meantime! Lady Wales, defend Schönheid to the death and reach the castle gate!”
The White Lily Corps and the Annihilation Brigade attacked the West Gate of Doishunomuharuto. The Allied Forces attacking the South Gate seem to lack control, as they’re not hitting the strike zone.
“Alana, what about the enemies near the West Gate?”
“There are about fifty Orcs. Easy win.”
“The enemy is concentrated at the South Gate, right? Wouldn’t the North Gate be better?”
“The North and South Gates have thick castle walls. Richarda’s magic is unknown, so we want her to use it where the walls are thinnest. If she fails, we’ll have her directly target the castle gate with a Golem.”
“Then, until then, I’m free.”
“Not really. If we attack, the Orcs will shoot arrows from the castle walls. That’s where Priscilla and I come in.”
“Then, until then, I’m free.”
“I said not really. They’ll spot us before we can attach ourselves to the castle walls. The White Lily Corps doesn’t have enough shields for Halberdiers. Priscilla, Alana, and I must go ahead and protect them.”
“You want me to work!?”
“…Of course! Work!”
Ending the futile argument, we attached ourselves to the castle walls of Doishunomuharuto. Countless arrows flew at us on the way, but we got through them with the ironclad teamwork of the two of us. Once we climbed the castle walls, seventy percent of today’s work was done.
“Priscilla! Fly!”
Priscilla soared like a firework, finally seeing her turn. I, with my Zantou in hand, also leaped, confident of victory.
I know I can’t reach the edge of the castle wall by two meters, the confidence born from certainty. With an unfamiliar Zantou and its weight, if I leaped as usual, it wouldn’t reach.
I knew I could easily jump over it if I went into full Mode Six from the start, but what’s the point of jumping? Then I have to descend, tens of meters down.
I think in this moment. I give up once and leap again, like a frog. There’s a score for diving into the White Lily Corps, but if the tip of the Halberd is pointed at me, I’ll be impaled. I extended my other arm, the Tentacle Prost, and climbed the castle wall.
“That’s gross!”
Don’t say that, it might be a surprisingly convenient tool. The Orcs seemed surprised by a human suddenly appearing on the castle wall, or perhaps they found the Tentacle Prost disgusting, as they didn’t approach easily.
“Let’s go! Knock them down!”
The Halberd and Zantou and Zantou were raging… Huh? When did Alana get up here? I thought it was too far for Alana.
“We match.”
Leaving Priscilla to her own devices, my first teamwork with Alana turned into a three-person orgy party.
“Alana, … afterimages?”
“I can create them now without even realizing it. I can create one more person if I’m fast enough.”
To see afterimages of two people, I must be in Mode Three. Moreover, to be able to do it suddenly, I might lose in terms of explosive power.
With three Godspeed users, the Orcs on the castle wall were easily dealt with. When I looked towards the White Lily Corps to inform them of our victory, the castle wall beneath my feet crumbled.
