Chapter 294 – 294. Duke’s Thirteenth Sabotage (10)

– One –

“Enemy siege weapons are preparing to fire from the east side! Numbers 12 to 17 exist under the projected trajectory of the fighters!”

Observers stare at each of the four display panels.

On each display panel, the situation of the rebels captured by the telephoto lens was reflected intact.

Observers track rebel movements in real time, quickly calculate the direction the siege engine projectiles will land and report back to their commanders.

The commanders in charge of defending each wall listened to their reports and activated the voice input magic tools.

“East wall, from company 12 to company 17, the artillerymen adjust their blinds upwards according to the trajectory of the projectiles, and wait until the enemy fires the siege engines.”

– Yes!

“Among the 12th to 17th, the artillerymen waiting on the odd-numbered sieges adjust their blinds in order to directly hit the enemy’s siege weapons, and then wait until the firing signal is delivered.”

– Yes!

When the commander issues an order, the field commander responds immediately.

Such a sight appears everywhere in the command and control room.

– Fire enemy siege weapons! Enter the interception!

“Receipt.”

– Zuuuuu! Fu Hung! Whoops! Kwak! Passsss!

A shot down and smashing projectile can be seen beyond the display panel, but no one cheers.

Because it was just so natural.

“Now! Direct strikes on enemy siege weapons!”

– Yes!

– Zuuuuu! Fu Hung! Woo woo woo woo woo!

Forty or so cannon magic tools spew fire all at once.

Since it collects mana in the air and uses it as a power source, if there are infinite bullets, the artillery magic tool can fire infinitely in theory.

However, the durability of the gun barrel was limited, and if it was overheated, it could crack or even explode.

Therefore, the standard way to operate the gun magic tool was to avoid overheating by adjusting the firing cycle.

Since the imperial family provided a sufficient number of cannon magic tools to the imperial army, they were able to operate the cannon magic tools with sufficient margin.

It gave the rebels a nightmare.

– Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang! Pooh hook! Passsss.

– … Aaaaa…

The desperate and grievous cries of the rebels echoed throughout the plains around the island, enough to be heard beyond the observation magic tools in the command and control room.

The faces of both the Imperial Army and the Islands Defense Force have cruel smiles.

Revenge time was always thrilling.

“If we go on like this, it will be an easy victory.”

After-effects after-effects.

Warden Glengoyne murmurs, poking his nose.

In his heart, he imagined riding a horse through the plains, brandishing his sword and spear, and slashing the flesh of his enemies.

However, the performance of the cannon magic tool provided by the imperial family was excessively excellent.

Even if the Imperial Army and Islands Defense Forces did not open the gates, it seemed that they could sufficiently incapacitate and defeat the enemies.

At this rate, the war would end very quickly.

“Well, truth, goodness, and beauty in war, all in overwhelming victory…”

He is far away and only watches the display panel.

It was simply boring and boring, and not just because the eyes of Vice Admiral Glenn Elgin were stinging towards him.

– Boo…

“Ma’am, what’s the matter?”

– The situation has become difficult.

Regal’s eyebrows twitch.

But understanding the situation comes first.

And since the situation was different from the forecast, there was no reason to take it out on Chiba.

“Could you elaborate, ma’am?”

– Yes, Mrs. Once, enemies

She did not hesitate to use the word enemy when referring to the Imperial Army and the Islands Defense Forces.

Judging from how Regal naturally accepted it, it seems that they have already defined the emperor and all who follow him as enemies.

Perhaps, the current empire itself might have been defined as an enemy.

– … Buy it also,

Among the institutions that planted Ganja and took control, list the places where communication was cut off.

Prior to that, he speculated that the relay station might have been taken over by enemies.

Regal’s expression hardened more and more.

– Even,

It is reported that the magic tool of the cannon, which is believed to have been hidden by the imperial family in the capital, fell into the hands of the enemy through some route.

Because of that, we confess that our siege weapons have been neutralized, and human casualties are accumulating in real time.

With that, Chiba finishes her report.

“Hmm… This is really unexpected…”

– That’s right… I don’t know where the trouble came from, but it seems the girl was too complacent…

Regal shakes her head.

And smile lightly

“I thought maybe things could work out that way.”

– Yes… ?

Chiba opens her eyes wide and looks at Regal.

Upon hearing Regal’s words, she seemed genuinely astonished.

“The Distillery’s masters aren’t that stupid. The current situation is due to their competence, and certainly not to their wives. If anyone has to be blamed, it’s the Distillery’s masters who have been underestimated.” My responsibility is the greatest, so don’t worry too much, ma’am.”

– Buguun…

Chiba tears her eyes.

If Regal could, she wanted to hug her right now.

“I’m sorry I’ve put a heavy burden on you, ma’am.”

– Haona,

After cutting off Chiba, Regal shakes her head.

She shuts her mouth and waits for Regal to speak.

“I just made it clear. In the worst case, I expected the situation to be this way. If you even expected it, but didn’t come up with a countermeasure, wouldn’t it be a shame to be called the man who will stand at the top of the empire?”

– Ah… !

Chiba’s face turns red.

– What is it, sir?

“That’s right…”

Regal puts her plans in her mouth.

As his words continue, Chiba’s face turns red.

She quickly replies that she will, and ends the communication with Regal.

– 3 –

“Ha, ha! Lord, Lord…!”

“Kh, ch, ck, Clarence…”

“Now, wait, whoops!”

“Um, uh, uh…”

“Ugh, ugh, ugh…!”

At some point, gunfire rang out from all directions.

I could no longer feel the subtle vibrations flowing through the floor, but numerous gunfire piercing the air jumped across the space and shook the walls of the lion’s cradle.

“Paha! Lord, hold on to this hand, kyaheuk…!”

“I’m scared, I’m scared…”

Such shaking drives Canin crazy.

Down, down, deep, deep, deeper, the canin digs for shelter.

“Aaaaa…!

“I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it…”

Clarence tries desperately to calm Canin down, but to no avail.

Canin has shed his boyish clothes, and now he is starting to look like an adult.

Her limbs began to thicken, and the area under her nose began to darken.

Her height has grown significantly, and her voice has become much lower.

The second sexual character is in full swing.

It was equivalent to saying that it was now difficult for her to match his strength.

“Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord…! Ahh, haaaaang♡”

“I want to die…”

Tall.

Clarence stiffens.

Looking down at Canin, tucked under her own skirt.

“Master…?”

“I… I want to die now…”

“My lord…”

Sarah, Sarah.
Flutter.

Clarence lifts up her long skirt.

At that place,

‘Hey, hee hee… !’

I saw Canin wiping her tears with her panties.

As she struggled, it seemed that Canin had ripped off her underwear.

“Lord, Lord…?”

Canin doesn’t know what it is, so she sobs silently, wiping tears from her eyes.

She, too, decided not to stimulate Canin.

“My lord…”

Swoop.

Canin raises her head.

I look at her through her cloudy eyes.

Flutter.
Squeak.

She slipped her own skirt down and pulled her canin out of her.

Swoop.

She sits quietly in front of him.

She meets her eyes with Canin.

Kanin’s body trembled.

“My lord.”

“Uh, uh…”

“I will protect my lord even at the cost of my life.”

“Ku, Klaa,”

“Please don’t worry about anything.”

Sararak.
Woo woo woo.

She hugs Canin.

Let’s feel the warmth wrapped around us,

“Ahhh… Uhh…”

“My lord…”

Canin babbles, causing her to cry.

It was a cry that proved his relief.

“Come here. If you are anxious, lean on the bosom of your conviction. As I swore to you, even if I die, my conviction will die first. I will keep what I said.”

“Clarence, Clarence, Heugh, Clarence, aaaaa…!”

Dump.

Canin collapsed on top of Clarence.

He cried and cried and cried there.

[Sing the Revolutionary Creed!]

When the voice amplification magic tool rang the plain,

“Our resolution!”

All rebels shout with one voice.

Whether it was cavalry, sappers, infantry, or support, no one was against it.

[One! Our Revolutionary Army is neither up nor down!]

“There is no one above a man, and no one below a man!”

[Two! We are,]

Since they were making their final decision, no one smiled.

Some swallow their tears, others vomit their anger, and solemnly recite the revolutionary creed to the end.

This is not absurdity that we are forced to do because of instructions from the top.

As ardent republicans, they oxidize fiercely, dreaming of the day of freedom that will someday bloom in order to become the foundation of the times.

It is certain that the history of later generations will prove that their actions were right.

[Turn around!]

When a command came from the voice amplification magic tool,

“Waaaaa!”

“Let’s go!”

“We will never die in vain aaaaa!”

Hee hee!
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck!

Horses and men start charging.

Those on horseback whipped continuously, each swinging the weapon they were holding in front of them.

Those who run on two feet scream and drive away fear.

When all the siege weapons were destroyed by the cannonballs fired from the island, with casualties of up to 10,000, they rushed barefoot toward the walls of the island.

The drafting was carried out, and waves of phosphorus began to roll in from all directions.

“I-I-I-I…!”

Warden Glengoyne raised her eyes wide.

I alternately stare at the display panel and at Lieutenant General Glen Elgin.

“I’m leaving,”

“Not yet.”

“No, but-“

“Wait.”

Lieutenant General Glen Elgin dismisses his opinion like a knife.

Warden Glengoyne’s expression contorted.

But no one cares about him.

“Artillery on each line of every wall, use cannon magic tools to form a barrage!”

When the order of Vice Admiral Glenn Elgin came,

“Fire at the enemy from the ready shooter!”

“Aim and fire at the enemies in dense formation!”

– Yes!

At their discretion, officers issue orders.

Unlike before, they were all very tense.

– Zu, zu, zuuu! Fu, fu, fu, fuhung! Blood, blood, blood! Bang! Kwak Kwa Kwak! Kwak!

As the indiscriminate shelling began, their tension increased.

Debris splashes.

It’s not sawdust or wood chips like before.

Grease, liquids, feces, flesh, scraps of intestines, bone fragments, hair.

Something that made up the human body is finely crumbled.

Small fragments are scattered all over the battlefield.

Sometimes there were pieces of metal that used to make up weapons and armor, but in absolute terms, they made up only a tiny fraction of the gap between something soaring.

“Sheesh… That’s inhuman…”

Warden Glengoyne grumbles.

It sounded like he was dissatisfied with the war with non-human weapons, but the context of his words matched the current situation exactly.

“I agree with you about being inhumane, Warden Glengoyne.”

“Sentimental…”

Was it because he felt the futility of exploding life?

Brigadier Glenfiddich’s complexion was dark.

“One way or another, aren’t wars supposed to kill those who die? Whether they die finely or finely chopped, in terms of dying, it’s just an equal death anyway.”

“No, that’s not it. I’ve spent years on the battlefield, and there’s no way I wouldn’t know that.”

“Huh? Then what does that mean?”

Warden Glengoyne tilts his head.

When he sneakily turned his eyes, Lieutenant General Glenn Elgin, as if agreeing with Brigadier General Glenfiddich, also had a bad expression.

He quickly turns his head and asks Brigadier General Glenfiddich for an explanation with his eyes.

Swoop.

Brigadier General Glenfiddich raises his finger towards the display panel.

There, the bodies of horses and people, battered by cannonballs, were tangled together.

No matter how much I looked at it, it was hard to tell how much was a horse and how much was a person.

“Doesn’t this make it seem like we are an evil oppressing the weak?”

“Um…”

Warden Glengoyne finally understood his concerns.

Due to the property damage suffered by the residents of the islands immediately after the war broke out, it was clear that their public opinion of the Imperial Army and the Islands Defense Forces would not be good.

It was the same with foreigners.

They suffered direct injuries, and there are probably a lot of people who haven’t even found their bodies yet.

Deteriorating public opinion on the Imperial Army and Islands Defense Forces could lead to antipathy towards the Imperial Family and Emperor.

It was clear that even some media outlets with the influence of the aristocratic faction would fuel such resentment.

“If you charged with that kind of effect, it’s clear that the enemy leader must have given up on being human long ago.”

“Keu, keuhum… I agree with you.”

“Obviously they attacked, and we did and still do our best to defend our subjects. However, this charge exposes our subjects to an overly visually brutal scene, as if we were the perpetrators. Recognition may prevail among the subjects, and if that happens, the resentment of the subjects for the damage they have suffered may lead to an absurd situation in which we all bear the brunt of it.”

“Okay…”

As if sympathizing with their concerns, the other generals nodded with dark faces.

110,000 of them would not all be killed in this single charge.

“Urgent report from the eastern wall, Route 53! Damage to the gun barrel has been observed due to overheating!”

“Immediately recover the gun barrels with damaged gun barrels, and place archers in their place!”

“Yes!”

It seemed that it was gradually turning into a normal siege.

However, if there is a difference

“But why are they charging? There are no siege towers and no movable ladders, are there?”

“…”

At Major General Glengoyne’s question, all the generals were silent.

They vaguely guessed the reason, but it was because they were afraid to say it out loud.

“No way… Really, all of them, rushing in front of the castle wall to run away from us?”

“…”

Director Glengoyne clearly realized that silence can sometimes be positive.

– 6 –

Whoo, whoo, whoo!
CeeeeeING!
Flutter, flutter, flutter!

“Uh, uhh…!”

Mondavi was proving with his whole body that what flutters in the rough wind can be a person.

A narrow exterior passageway for cleaning the outer wall of the clock tower.

Leaning on her railing there, leaning on that only support, she fought the high-altitude blizzard with her whole body.

But she was neither a fighter nor a reckless character.

Instead of rushing into a fight she couldn’t win, she knew how to compromise and abstain.

Dump.

She sits down in her seat.

At a point not far from the passageway to the outside, I sit there and turn her head to look up at her.

“Ah…”

As expected, the pointed apex of the tower is visible.

Now, there is no need to climb more towers or take anxious steps fearing a fall.

“Now it’s my turn…”

She gritted her teeth.
