128 – Defense of Johannesburg – 4

Plan A.

Build a temporary fortress in front of the ally’s castle and stockpile supplies and troops in the castle. And the stockpiled supplies and troops continue to be sent from the castle to the temporary fortress. In theory, the allies can fight infinitely, and the enemy will definitely run out of supplies, so the allies will win at some point.

This was the existing operation. However, with Dian’s death, the morale of the allies sank and the operation could no longer be used.

Plan B.

In case an unexpected accident occurs and the temporary fortress is occupied by the friendly forces, several trenches are dug between Johannesburg Castle and the temporary fortress, and the friendly forces use the trenches as a retreat route to escape to the castle.

And then you come into the castle and do some fortressing.

It may not be a very good operation compared to Plan A, but it will at least be much better than fighting on the plains.

Plan C.

This is an operation that is activated when the friendly forces’ Johannesburg Castle is on the verge of being occupied.

However, since this operation was risking my life, I did not want to use it if possible.

“But, if the time comes to use it… “

16,000 Soldiers in the castle.

If all the soldiers were to die, I would gladly use Plan C to save them and protect Princess Leonia.

Because I promised that if I was defeated, I wouldn’t come back.

The next morning came. The enemy rested for a day, probably exhausted from the previous day’s battle, and a pessimistic mood spread as our troops watched the enemy build a camp and prepare for a siege.

In the meantime, there was a person practicing swordsmanship alone. That sharp sword was reminiscent of Emilia. I spoke to her.

“Mr. Glacia, your sword looks especially sharp today. “What’s going on?”

“No. “It was just practice as usual.”

“Ah, how many years have we been together? Just looking at it, it looks completely different from usual.”

“… “

Glacia looked annoyed, but when I smiled kindly at her, she confessed as if there was nothing she could do.

“There was a woman standing in front of me.”

“What if it’s her?”

“Emilia von Kronor.”

“… “

Emilia von Kronor. The world’s strongest swordsman and the most insurmountable wall that is difficult to overcome even if the 2nd and 3rd ranked players fight together. Was Glacia also aware of her?

“As I watched the battle between Diane de Balboa and Emilia von Cronor, I thought: “If I face those two people, will I be able to win, and if I lose, how long will I last?”

“So? “What is the conclusion?”

“I might be able to last 10 minutes against Diane de Balboa, but if my opponent is Emilia von Kronor… “

“What if it’s the other person?”

“10 Seconds. “That may be the limit.”

Indeed. With Glacia’s skills, could she only last 10 seconds against Emilia? I once again felt a little bit of Emilia’s strength.

“Then what will Mr. Glacia do if Emilia tries to kill me?”

“I will run away without looking back.”

“Hey, what about the escort contract!”

“Contracts are the third most important thing in the world, but lives are the second most important.”

“Then what is the most important thing?”

“It’s money.”

Is money more important than life? He’s a truly goal-scoring person.

“Then what if I ask you to hold on for just 10 seconds?”

“It is possible if you give me a mountain of gold coins.”

“10,000 Ducats in 10 seconds. How is it?”

If it were me before, it would be an amount I couldn’t even imagine, but it is possible now. Because you are the Duke.

“… I don’t think it’s a joke. “Is there some plan?”

“Yes. “If Mr. Glacia can hold out for just 10 seconds, he might win.”

“… “

Glacia said after thinking for a while.

“Just 10 seconds. No more than that. And.”

“Yes.”

“Please keep your promise of 10,000 ducats.”

“Let’s do it.”

And that night.

The enemy soldiers began cutting down the trees on the mountain.

The trees were cut down to the extent that part of the mountain was empty and transported somewhere, but there was no need to say what the intention was.

“They’re trying to build siege weapons.”

It was too difficult to make siege weapons and transport them to the city, so they often just gathered materials and made them in front of the castle.

That also meant that the siege was approaching.

Two weeks have passed since then.

The enemy was quietly chopping down trees while surrounding the friendly castle.

There was no siege using wizards, and there were no small battles between soldiers.

And the longer this situation went on, the more advantageous it was for us, who had an overwhelming amount of supplies.

“What on earth is the enemy thinking?”

I thought so at first, but soon I was able to figure out the enemy’s intentions.

Then one day, the enemy appeared with dozens of siege towers.

Our troops were astonished by the dozens of siege towers that suddenly appeared.

“The siege tower… “There are that many!?”

Even though there were many siege towers, there was a limit to the amount of troops that could be deployed into the siege towers.

“What on earth are you trying to do by building a siege tower like that?”

I was puzzled for a moment, but soon I realized the intention.

“Ah… !”

The moment I realized Emilia’s strategy, I couldn’t help but be amazed. It was Emilia’s resourcefulness. Her sense of war was innate. Her operation must have been efficient.

Dozens of enemy siege towers began to approach our castle. As soon as the enemy’s siege tower came into range, our cannons fired furiously at the siege tower.

“Take it! “Please get it right!”

“Waaa!!! “You got it right!!!”

The soldiers were talking as they watched the flying cannonballs, and six siege towers that were hit by the cannons collapsed. However, only two of them contained soldiers. The remaining four contained only the minimum number of soldiers needed to maneuver the siege tower.

“The siege tower… “Is it empty?”

The soldiers muttered in despair. Yes. Emilia’s strategy was like this. A large number of empty fake siege towers were prepared to reduce the damage to real siege towers from cannons.

“Was this the purpose of cutting down so many trees? “

Our troops continued to fire cannons and destroyed several siege towers with cannons placed on top of the castle walls.

But even though there were many siege towers, there were too many. About one-third of it was destroyed using cannons, but the remaining two-thirds were still attached to the castle wall.

And a large number of soldiers poured out from the siege tower onto the castle walls. Our soldiers and the enemy soldiers became entangled together and began to fight. The battle on the walls was fierce. They used close formation to the extreme to increase their ability to break through, and the loser in the battle of power was pushed down the castle wall.

And while watching that scene, I looked at the entire battlefield.

“What about Emilia? “Where is Emilia?”

Nothing would be better than dying with a destroyed siege tower. But unfortunately, Emilia is not such an easy opponent. If Emilia’s only strength was force, I wouldn’t be afraid of Emilia. But Emilia is just good at war. She’s not just good at using a sword. She has an innate sense of all things war.

And as I expected, Emilia was not in the siege tower. Taking advantage of the enemy’s infiltration of the walls of Johannesburg Castle through the siege tower, the remaining soldiers began to hang ladders. Our troops on the wall fired their muskets hard, but even the overwhelming firepower of the musketeers could not completely block the approaching enemy.

And at the forefront was Emilia. Surprisingly, Emilia was approaching, cutting off the bullets from her musket with her sword. Soon, her ladder got caught, and Emilia started climbing the castle wall with great momentum.

“Stop Emilia!”

Yuria Russell shouted and personally brought out dozens of knights, but as soon as Emilia climbed the castle wall, she swung her sword widely and created a wind that knocked dozens of knights off the castle wall. She then swung her sword towards the approaching Yuria.

Yuria could not endure the third round. Her attack was thwarted in her first move, her stance collapsed in her second move, and her right arm was cut in her third move. When Yuria was cut down, her men began to retreat, taking Yuria with them, but Emilia started digging into her castle as if she had no interest in Yuria.

“Charge! “The only thing we’re aiming for is the Commander-in-Chief’s head!”

The moment I heard those words, I couldn’t help but be scared. Emilia von Kronor, the world’s strongest woman, was running toward me, aiming for my head. Her allies’ infantry and musketeers attacked Emilia intensively, but her allies were unable to stop Emilia, who rushed at her with a large two-handed sword and frantically cut down her allies. .

“Find the commander-in-chief’s flag! “The commander-in-chief must be somewhere!”

Emilia shouted. Each general had his own flag, and this was mainly to facilitate communication between the generals and soldiers. And of course, the commander-in-chief’s flag was much larger than the flags of ordinary generals, and it wasn’t long before Emilia found the commander-in-chief’s flag.

“There it is! “It is the flag of the Rochepol family!”

Emilia shouted like that and rushed towards me, cutting down the soldiers in front of her. At that moment, I quietly whispered.

“10 Seconds. Please.”

“Yes.”

Glacia Ehrenberg, the 3rd ranked prosecutor in the world, stepped in front of me.
