Chapter 5 (1/2)

Ichiya Fort / Overnight Fort

Raviara and I made our 「triumphant return」 to the fort

Since the enemy in the fort had been totally destroyed, the thirst of blood had already disappeared

「We have succeeded in repelling Mineria's invaders! Even up to the fort's base is replete with enemy's bodies!」

A deep voice sounded when I lifted my sword

It was followed by a great shouts of joy Upon hearing their voices, I had a hunch that I finally could take a break

Even so, I can't take it easy for so long I eneral shi+vik about ill do froeneral, but it is easier for eneral than for his name

After the general gave a respectful greeting, he came to me

「I will inforreat role in this victory The witnesses are all the soldiers in this fortress!」

「No, if it were forwould have ended It's everyone's victory」

「The enemy was certainly wiped out Currently, the bodies of the ene thrown into the river outside of the fortress Since they will rot if you let them be」

At the back of the fort there is a cliff that connects to a river, so at that point is so very useful

「Thanks, general I was just thinking of consulting with you about our next steps」

「This fortress general is Alsrod-sama Please call me shi+vik」

「Okay, shi+vik Let's call a war council」

At the inner, shi+vik, Raviara and me

「Although ere able to defend the fortress, in all honesty, ere on the defensive And being on the defensive won't solve anything Rather, it's just as difficult as not being able to steal enemy's lands」

There is a long river flowing between Neville Territory and Mineria Territory,The streae benchland on the east side of the fortress There is hill on the other side but it's not big and its slope is low

「The ene a fortress in the opposite shore If we can't ive up this fortress, it will be difficult to reverse our situation」

shi+vik drops his finger on thetih for me

Certainly ill not be able to coe number of enemies stationed in the opposite shore

Raviara was staring with troubled look at the area around the river near where shi+vik had pointed on the y to escape this predica tio

「Do you want to initiate a night attack froht, the noise of the river will cae the steps of our march」

I see Certainly the noise will be erased by the river Itback what the enemy have done to us Butー

「The probleh soldiers to conquer a fortress」

Even the enee so it's unlikely they have placed all their soldiers inside, but still, since they have taken over that location they can do a long term attack

Those soldiers who couldn't enter the fortress given the size will surely be recruited for theto attack

「If only we could strike the enemy or at least create an unfavorable situation for the」

It see

But again, I felt as if I could hear a voice in my head

ーーThere is nothing to worry about You have the power to see the experiences of the Monarch

Intuitively, I cae plan

I don't kno much feasibility this plan will have, and it h builders soldiers

「Hey, I've thought of a good idea or rather a plan」

I glanced at Raviara and then shi+vik

「Listen tothat it will disturb the enemy」

The reaction to ht they would tell ive up

「If we don't do so unexpected like that at least, surely it will be impossible for us to turn the state of the war around Let's do it!」
