Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 418
[418[Tuesday] A nightmare overflowing from the West
Fortunately, there was nothing special about the twenty additional drake units..
Since I didn't have enough magic bombs, I just had to work a little harder to throw the ax and use the needle. As a result, it was a fairly successful battle, except for the fact that the two guys that I couldn't catch due to lack of hands ran away and that collateral damage was caused to the fallen drake's corpse. We also captured a few more magic bullets..
Afterwards, it was Regiment Commander Raynal, who had been stabbed by me, who called me to park the flying dragon on the roof of a building located near the marching unit, wondering if there was anything I could do to help..
"There are many things the Brigadier General would like to ask you! Please go to the command center first.!"
I was looking at the chewed chews, but the horse was really polite. Still, he was not stingy in expressing his gratitude by bowing his head first, so I returned to the command post after bowing appropriately on top of the dragon..
The attack was much more successful than expected, and I judged the situation based on my memories from my past life and thought that all that was left to do was finish it, but when I returned to the command center where I had moved to, the story I heard and the atmosphere I saw were completely different. Thanks to this, a situation was created in which the soldiers were surprised when the flying dragon I was riding suddenly landed, and I was also surprised, wondering if something else had gone wrong..
Fortunately, I was able to quickly hear what the situation was through Ragnis, who came running after seeing me..
"There is a separate headquarters...."
The nuance seems to be a combination of the mobile warfare I know and the hammer and anvil... I can't shake the feeling that it has some otherworldly customization added to it. Once again, I want to praise the kingdom that has endured this far despite continuing the war with those guys..
"So what you're saying is that if you don't attack your resistance quickly, you'll have a headache.?"
"Well, to be more precise, actually, attacking the outer castle was a headache.."
According to Ragnis, who quickly summarized the key points while the other soldiers went to pick up the brigade commander, he never thought that he would be able to deal with the main force of the Demon King's army after attacking the outer castle..
The Eunsuri Independence Combat Brigade was a kind of vanguard and decoy, and it would be good if we could quickly enter the outer fortress, but if we couldn't, it would act as an anvil that would stand while the troops of the cities behind us became a hammer and launched a counterattack on the main force of the Demon King's army. It was planned. At first, I wondered why they had not yet been able to recapture Lévien if they could have occupied it with just these troops and put an end to it, but it seems that everything was not as it seemed..
Anyway, thanks to blowing it up on the second day, I now have a huge advantage in time, so what I did today was a bigger achievement than I expected..
"If we can break through to the inner castle like this... I don't know what it will be like to completely recapture it, but the kingdom's offensive could continue for a while.."
According to the command's expectations, it would take at least 4 days for the main body of the Demon King's army to arrive here. The distance is not close, and people are asking if this makes sense as they move as an army, but it is said that this time, there will be cries from the Demon King's army..
As I was nodding my head, realizing that an army that relies heavily on strategy and tactics is not my aptitude, Ragnis secretly shifted his gaze to the flying dragon behind me and asked:.
"What on earth is that drake anyway? I prepared something like that?"
No matter how well I listen to my words, in the end, it is a flying dragon captured from the enemy camp, so I had to personally go to the brigade commander because I didn't know what would happen when I was away. Despite the unfamiliar environment, the flying dragon sat in a very docile posture and remained silent. I was having a snowball fight with Laika, who was looking at me..
To be exact, I was avoiding my eyes while having a snowball fight just a moment ago. It was clear that they had lost, as the drake's head lowered slightly and Laika's tail was wagging violently..
For some reason, I thought he was strangely obedient, but is he one of the docile dragons? That was so funny that I burst out laughing..
"I picked it up on the way."
I immediately told the truth without any hesitation, but I was met with stinging glares. I feel wronged!
"Really. The devil's army's flying dragon was captured.."
"Does that make sense? No matter how much demons trained you, there's no way you'd be this gentle.."
"I hit him with my fist a few times and he became more docile...."
The return gaze was cold, and I was only able to gain Ragnis' trust to some extent after telling him that Lanje and her battalion members were witnesses..
I felt a bit sad that the women around me seemed to no longer trust what I was saying, but as Brigadier General Alt appeared from afar, I straightened my back, trying to act calm..
"Honestly... I don't know what to say. I don't regret doubting you. But after seeing these amazing results, I wonder if my insight was simply narrow.."
"Who can say anything about the reasonable judgment made by the Brigadier General? On the contrary, I am grateful that I was able to achieve this result because you gave me the opportunity without losing trust.."
As I bowed my head, albeit informally, in aristocratic manner, Brigadier Alt looked at me with a strange expression. It seemed as if someone who knew how to be so polite would slap Raynall at the command center, but he quickly got his expression under control and waved his hand..
"I am not a noble, so there is no need to be polite to that extent. More than that... I know you're tired from the battle, but I'm really sorry, because time is of the essence in the war against the Demon Lord's army, so there are a lot of questions I'd like to ask. I will finish it as quickly as possible, can you give me some time??"
"Of course it should be."
Since I had already heard the circumstances from Ragnis, there was no reason to refuse, so I readily accepted, and the brigadier general's gaze also slowly shifted to the flying dragon behind me..
"Well... I need to move, but I don't think the dragon will run amok.?"
"yes. You don't have to worry anymore."
"...now?"
I think our doggo did a good job of suppressing the momentum..
Laika, who understood the situation without being asked, barked briefly..
◈
The demon, who was informed of the situation by the flying dragon unit members who ran away from Eldmia shedding bloody tears, closed his eyes for a moment and fell into trouble..
Unless it is manipulated in a certain way or there is a certain magical intervention that touches the magic and magic inside, the magic bullet will never explode on normal impact. It is a safety device that was also used in the early type of magical bomb that the Demon King's army tried to detonate inland from Ethisel through the gate..
"I'm sure it's Eldmia.."
The human race has recently become a new problem for the Demon King's army. Unless Ethisel created a unit called Little Eldmia and fostered strange creatures that could use magic, they had no choice but to be the same person..
"His behavior is?"
"Since he went to the rear after the battle, I think he is at the command post.."
"Can we make a diversionary strike from our side??"
"...I think it will be difficult."
It's not that we didn't prepare for war. However, no one expected that the strong outer castle would fall in just two days..
Naturally, war supplies for a long-term war were moved to the vicinity of the outer castle. Now, it was urgent to even mobilize all the supplies and troops to defend the castle. In this situation, there was no way to bypass and attack the command center without being detected by the human army..
If the drake unit had been intact, it could have been attempted, but there were only two drakes left..
"Every time it shows itself, it harasses us in all kinds of ways. Maybe he's actually a hero??"
There were no human warriors using magic in history, but since it was a situation that was considered reasonable suspicion, the demons gathered in the conference room only agreed in silence..
However, since he had no intention of wasting time in such meaningless sympathy, the demon who brought up the story and the overall commander of the Levien occupation force stood up and gave orders to the demons, putting aside his complaints..
"Prepare for a water battle. I hit that guy."
"Hey, Division Commander Iraf.!"
"I will not listen to any objections. The command's instructions are the devil's orders. Eldmia must be captured or killed as soon as it is discovered. I, who am in the position of division commander in name and name, cannot violate this.."
"It's too dangerous. We'd rather...!"
Division Commander Iraf blocked any objections by simply raising his hand. He was grateful for the loyalty of his subordinates who stopped countering arguments like lies, but he had no intention of backing down because he did not reach an emotional conclusion..
"In order to survive, I will preserve as much stamina as possible, and to do so, I will approach with a flying dragon. I am the one with the highest chance of surviving and completing the command's instructions. You can do the battle without me anyway.."
Since he had risen to the position of division commander by force, there was not much he could do in the Battle of Suseong other than lowering the drawbridge and slaughtering the enemies. Originally, the reason he stayed in the city was to hold out in the worst situation when even his defenses were breached, or to quickly go on the offensive when friendly forces acting as 'hammers' arrived, so it was most efficient for him to go out on his own rather than have his subordinates move..
"It just so happens that there is only one drake.."
"There are two..."
"One of them should send a warning to another city. Could it be that the enemies who attacked with the means to break through the outer walls in just two days came to have fun with a light heart?."
It will be a battle that signals the intensification of the war that has been stagnant. It was necessary to move quickly before a situation came where even the flying dragon could not fly due to the enemy's siege..
"Could up to two people ride? So, I'm looking for someone to go with me. A guy who can control a drake."
At the words of the division commander, who had not even learned how to ride a flying dragon, as jumping on his feet is much more powerful than fighting on something like a flying dragon, the fifteen demons gathered in the conference room raised their hands at the same time, and Iraf looked at the scene bitterly. laughed.
Even if I die, I think my life was not in vain..
