Chapter 408 – The Beginning of the Battle of Hydas

Chapter 408: The Beginning of the Battle of Hidas

Catherine, who has been repeating surveying and crossing over the past few weeks.
They were the ones who knew the depth and width of the river, the flow and speed of the water, and even whether there was a whirlpool or not.
It was necessary to determine whether it was a simple local war or an all-out war to cross Doha in earnest.

“Isn’t this also a false Doha?
Our reconnaissance troops are very tired watching the enemy cross the river.”

Since he couldn’t answer Zach’s question easily, he had to wait for a report.
I ate Jessica’s sausage hot dog, which was still left for a long time, and listened to the report that came like a wave.
Despite the taste of her friend’s mother’s hand, which she is now familiar with, the anxiety did not go away.

“According to the reports of our scouts, there are an unprecedented number of rafts and ships.”

“Report!
Tens of thousands of troops are crossing the pontoon bridge south of the Hydas River!”

“Report!
Tens of thousands of troops were spotted crossing the river at a relatively shallow spot in the midstream north of the Hydas!”

“Report!
The enemy is floating a boat bridge in front of the castle!”

“Report!
Enemy air forts are moving!”

… This.

“The enemy divides into several branches and crosses them simultaneously.”

Commander Ezio also seemed to have an intuition that the time for a decisive battle had arrived.

“Commander.
Please give me your order.”

“The operation is canceled.”

“””Yes!”””

Demon King and Stella move in perfect order.

Beastman 1st Corps and 5th Corps (The 5th Corps was brought back after Rumika reorganized from the rear).
The 2nd corps of the giant soldiers of the highlands and the demon berserkers.
The 3rd and 7th corps of western demons and night elves.
In this way, the regular army of 5 corps is 35,000.
About 20,000 Stella’s army absorbed Philip’s army who surrendered.
In addition, each corps auxiliaries, Rumika’s newly brought demons and beastmen, and Nene’s hypnotized enemy vanguard, including human troops, were all gathered together to make a total of 100,000 troops.

“Commander Ezio.
There is still no word from Desdymona, the Four Heavenly Kings.”

“Even though Van Dark sent a messenger, it wasn’t enough, His Majesty sent an edict…”

“I’m worried that if I lose, I’ll stick to that side.”

“How about His Majesty?”

“They said they were going to kill the lich right away.
What did you just dry?”

“Hehe, you’re having a hard time too.
Now we have to do what we can.
2 regular army corps, auxiliary soldiers, bone dragons and ghost dragons.
That would have been a big help…
It’s a world where even riches do politics.
After the war, there may be another civil war.”

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly at Commander Ezio’s words.

***

“Ma’am.
When you wake up, I hope we won.”

She kissed the lips of Nene, who was still soundly asleep, and stroked her purple hair.
The woman I love and admire the most.

“Please take good care of your wife, her master.”

“Have a good trip.”

Anne calmly shook her hand.

Jerk, jerk.

She left the room and walked in front of the four women side by side.

“Madams.
Everyone must have Valkyrie armor, right?”

Everyone nodded.
The transparent marbles in their hands were all four.
It’s one of the few cards we’ll stick out in a situation where we don’t have enough dragons and we don’t have Nene.

“Especially for this operation, forgive me for having to rely a lot on my first and second wives.”

I feel guilty that their stomachs are more swollen than before.
But what can I do?
It’s just sad that we don’t have what we have.

“There are no men and women in war, and there is no precedence in death, so why do you feel guilty?
Yeah that’s what I have to do
The demon lord doesn’t hold back because he’s a woman.
My brother is watching you from here.
I will bring you victory.”

The horned beautiful girl with red twin tail hair, who is the most hungry, rather comforts me.
I’m most worried about this guy.

“Okay. What the king said is right.
It’s not just my body that the king is carrying.
Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the country now.”

She is a cute pink-haired queen who looks like she has a baby.
Her eyes sparkled like stars.
She’s not quite as good as Rumika, but her slightly bulging belly weighed on her heart.

“Remember we practiced night after night together.”

“Oh, brother… Such a dirty talk here… !”

“Rice, pervert husband!
There are others… !”

Blushing faces.
I’m full of spirits!

“Not that!
Fusion Special Move!!”

“”Ah, aha… That, right~””

Two women turn their heads in bewilderment.
Are you thinking dirty to the bone now?!
Is your brain soaked in semen?!
Although I ran into too many of them during practice!

“How to gather strength, don’t forget.”

Back.

He quietly got down on one knee and hugged the two of them.

I buried my face in the belly of the two women for a while, wondering if I could hear the small sound of my heart in my ears.
Even then, I couldn’t bring myself to say not to overdo it.
Because it was hypocrisy.

“… Good luck.”

My first and second wives waving their hands and leaving first.

A blonde female knight and a silver-haired saint were left behind.

“Angie.
I’m worried that you always don’t buy yourself.
Even thinking about it…”

“I will fight with all my might.
For the future of me, my lord, and this child.”

“I wish you would think about it even now, but… It’s not like I’m sending you away.”

“To protect my lord is the joy of my life.
Please leave the sky to me.”

Chuck.

Her courtesy, she wore that dark blue military uniform, black tights, and a silver breastplate.
It’s a nice salute.

I gave her a hug and accepted her salute.

“See you after victory.”

Angela walks out bravely.

“Number of animals.
You will be busy assisting them.
Move according to the route indicated.
In case of emergency, you have to come to my side right away.”

“Yes. Don’t worry.”

“Others will be hesitant to move because they have children.
You help me in time.”

“That is… Excuse me…”

“Huh?”

“Camyu-sama, so… Umm…”

“Huh? Say.
What’s going on?”

“Oh, nothing!
No, it’s really important, but… Haha… Umm…”

Marie hesitated and smiled shyly.
What?
Is this the first time you see Marie like this?
That awkward expression that barely hides a strangely happy smile.
It’s like Marie who can’t lie.

“What is it?”

“No, so… Umm…
When the battle is over, I’ll let you know.”

“Huh? Okay.
Come on, let’s go!”

***

“Don’t shoot until the enemy is more than halfway across the river!”

Soldiers hang bows on bowstrings and load long-barreled guns.
Aiming at the pontoon bridge and Baedari that the enemy had placed, he loaded stones into the catapult.

The enemy carries a shield on his head and tries to cross over the pontoon bridge and boat bridge.
The leader of the pontoon bridge using rafts and wooden boats to cross the Hidas River.

Gulp gulp gulp!

Catherine’s Prismatic Dragon turns its transparent scales into silver and swallows the river.
The river water rushing into the stomach with a sound like the bank of a reservoir has collapsed.

Grrrr .

A noise that is incomparable to the sound of humans gargling.
The colorful scales that leap over the gold dragon Nuvacane reflect different colors of light.
The body, which seemed to be made of crystal, turned to silver and flashed.
And.

Fuhuaaaaa!!

“Annit?!!”

“I can’t see the enemy! “

“It’s steam!
It’s a smoke screen!”

Spits boiling water to temporarily create fog on the battlefield.
It mimics the silver dragon’s special skill of creating fog through the unique color conversion of prismatic dragons.
At each destination in Doha, water was continuously sprayed, and it began to block the view.
The silver dragon that came down before I knew it swallowed water and sprayed it to create mist in the same way.

“The enemy is invisible!”

“Gather the wind wizards!
We have to clear the fog!”

Flutter, Flutter!

The red dragon Kubydov appeared and tried to clear the fog with his wings.

Tukuaaaaa!!

Puff! Damn… !

“It’s a white dragon!”

An ice breath emitted by a white dragon.
Kubydov hurriedly ran away, unable to clear the fog.
Doing a breath attack by leaping from a mid-air fortress and diving!
Truly threatening
It’s so unrealistic to see those huge monsters nimbly teasing their massive bodies!

Flutter, Flutter!

When Kubydov made a sharp turn like a red dragon and tried to counterattack,

Tsutsutsu… !

The Prismatic Dragon changed its color to blue this time.
A spectral dragon that changed its color to demonstrate the abilities of a blue dragon.

Aaaaa!

Lightning breath that fires in a wide area.

Kubydov easily avoided the waterfall of lightning, but he couldn’t think of one thing.

Pajijijijik!

Sparks flew under Kubydov’s wings.

Puffup!

Kieeck!

The hydrogen that Kubydov had magically gathered under his wings to aid in flight exploded in sparks.
Kubydov, who had to constantly fly up from below, had to use a relatively large amount of strength and needed an auxiliary means to overcome the potential energy.
An attack that blocks it from the source.

Flutter, Flutter!

The small white dragon took a leisurely turn and went up to the air fortress again.
In the end, Kubydov had to fly low and be wary of the enemy dragon’s downward attack.
Meanwhile, enemies are slowly coming across the river.

“Damn.
Blue, green and white dragons did not come down.
All troops ready to shoot!
Shoot when you cross more than half the river!”

“Prepare for bombardment!
Longstop loading!
The target is the floating bridge!”

Baaaaa…

Fighting! Tung! Too Hung!

Kukkoom! Quaang! Quaang!

“Aagh!”

“Help me!”

The pontoon bridge breaks, the boat bridge sinks, and the raft capsizes.
The Hydas River is quite deep, and it is easy to die if you fall into it.

“Load incendiary bullets into the catapult!
The method is TOT!
Shoot yourself when you cross half the river!
Ballack!
Prepare the Giant Throwers behind the fence!
2 digs with a howitzer!
Priests, prepare your shields!
The aerial fortress is coming soon!”

The moment the enemy crossed half the river.
The chief of artillery broke out.

“All batteries, open fire!
We must neutralize the pontoon bridge and Baedari at once!
Break the enemy’s momentum with the first shot!”

The cannonballs lit by the cheers of the artillery captains fly one after another and explode.
Time on target.
Shooting cannonballs at the same time by varying the shooting time or elevation toward the target.

It was the same way he had entrapped and beaten Philip.

The catapults of the allies loaded incendiary bullets prepared with great care and fired from each battery at a time difference on top of the fortress wall and behind the retaining wall.
Shells arriving at the same time.

Fighting! Tung! Tutung!

Shuuuuu… Kukkoom! Quaang! Bang!

“Aagh!”

“Aww!

“Ah! Hot!”

With a splash! With a splash!

The soldiers of Catherine’s army, who were on fire, jumped into the river one after another and drowned.
Swimming while wearing armor is a difficult thing to do while burning your body.

TOT shooting can be done at different angles.
Balak’s giant soldiers sent to the hills in advance threw fireballs like shot puts.
The first shot is high, the second shot appropriately.
To arrive at the target at approximately the same time.

“I am a wizard!
Create a delayed fireball in front of the giant troops!
Giant troops, put the fireball in front of you in a sling and throw it!”

Fire wizards create fireballs that can be created in real time next to the giant bottle.

Booong, Booong, Booong… Whoo!

Even during the loading time of the catapult, the giant soldiers put a fireball in it like throwing a stone and turned it round and round before releasing one end.

“Aagh!”

“Listen to the Great Shield!”

“Built in water! Hurry!”

“Get the wood!
You have to tie the pontoon bridge!”

Human soldiers defending on the bridge, holding shields and repairing the pontoon bridge.

“Second shot fired!
Shoot whatever you load!”

Shuuuuu… Puffup! Bang! Kuang!

“Cheak!”

“Ah!”

Coo king!

With a splash!

With a plop!

Bridges are broken, large shields are shattered, and soldiers struggle in the water.
Enemies can’t just watch this.

Oh oh oh oh…

A heavy sound resounding from the sky.

Deed deed… !

A noise that echoes the surrounding ground.

“Heaven!
A projectile attack is coming from the air fortress!
Are the catapults and ballistas clearly placed in open trenches?”

“Yes, it is!”

I made preparations.
The rest just do their best.
From now on, you must carry the lives of 100,000 people on your shoulders and conduct an orchestra with 100,000 people participating.

“Priests prepare a shield and protect only the infirmary!
Archers spread in formation!
Don’t be afraid!
Projection attacks fired from high altitudes have a lower accuracy rate!
Stella’s Wind Wizards! Get ready!
The spell is a whirlwind, or an air shield!”

Air resistance is enough to change the trajectory, and wind magic is better than earth magic to defend against a fighter attack.
In Stella-kun, there are people who are good at wind magic as well as water mages.

Tutu tu tu tu tu tu!

Catapult sounds from the air fort.

Shuuuuu…

As much as the long fall time, the potential energy is converted into huge kinetic energy.

Kukkoom! Quaang! Wow!

“Aagh!”

“Quaaaaagh!
My legs, my legs… !”

Phew! Kwajak!

“Kyaaaaah!”

“Ah!”

Covered trenches were meaningless.
The slanted wooden roof and water-soaked straw are enough to block incendiary bombs or counter-fire from human soldiers climbing up from the riverside, not enough to block stones from a high aerial fortress.
The soldiers hit by the falling stones, like meteorites, immediately turned into a mist of blood and a bowl of mucus erupted.

“Shields, pikemen!
Get ready!
You bastards, don’t you line up?!
Dense formation!
Don’t be scared!
The odds of getting hit are slim!”

In preparation for an enemy landing, Van Dark energizes his soldiers and tries to maintain their formation.
I don’t know who is swearing at whom for chewing!
Anyway, the catapult attack in the air fortress has a low accuracy.
However, the soldiers are so frightened by the explosion and screaming that they keep trying to disperse.
It is more efficient to boldly form a dense formation and block them with air shield magic or a shield.
The archers who came out in front did not have the strength to protect them, so they stood in a spread formation, but the number of people to be protected must be united.
In particular, the spears raised densely into the sky by the long-armed soldiers stood up and had surprisingly high defense against projection attacks.
Even arrows and fist-sized stones often get caught in the forest of spears and bounced off.

Shu shu shu shu shu!!

Shuuuuu…

“Fire arrows from the air fortress!!”

Zach, who was observing the sky, said.

“Air shield, whirlwind!”

I shout.
Amplify sound with Taoism, create a giant illusion with Illusion and propagate it.
I had already told the Magicians beforehand, but I had no choice but to shout again out of old age.
Even before the kite that conveyed the order flew, the wizards were already fulfilling their role.

“””Air Shield!”””

Gee-ing!

“””Gust of wind!”””

Boo-woong!

Although it is difficult to block heavy rocks, arrows and small stones that have a lot of air resistance can be bounced off.

“Intensive protection of the artillery!”

“Silver, Green, and Blue are falling from the aerial fortress!”

The scream of Zach, the adjutant in charge of observation.

Big la la la la la rock!

Kyaaaaagh!

Cala la la la la rock!!

Flutter, flutter, flutter!

The sight of three dragons gliding down from a high altitude is truly menacing!

Baat, baat, baat, baaaaat… !

A dragon descending with its breath loaded.
Now!

“Hero!
It’s your turn to come out!”

Pooh! Fain!

The flare I fired exploded.

[Heh. After all, it’s Watashi’s turn to go?!
Know that this body is coming forward as an honor!]

Chara la la la la la rock!!

“””!!!”””

A black dragon that lifts off polymorph and soars.

“It’s Karamit!!!”

“The dragon of the former demon lord is back!!”

Finally, the guy flew up.
