Chapter 517 - Star of Battlefield 4 (1/2)

On the second day, like the previous day, Symphonia Kingdom launched the attacks right in the morning.

The operation of attempting to recover the bridge under the cover of the artillery units and forcing the infantry unit to move was unchanged.

If there was any other addition to it, the army had begun to build a bridge that wouldn’t be hit by the shells.

Upon receiving the report, count Darland, sent his Gigant and cavalry troops to check the strength of the Symphonia Kingdom.

When the Southern army camped across the river where the Symphonia was attempting to build a bridge, the army of Symphonia withdrew right away.

It was because if they proceeded with the operation, the damage they would have taken was too much to ignore.

“Today too, we had no progress.”

At the words of Philip who was disappointed, Belik shrugged.

“Siege isn’t an easy task. Even more, if it is a city in the middle of the water.”

Even in the past, there were a few cities in the middle of rivers.

Even if such places fell, it was only because of an internal spy opening up the door, or with the food supplies being exhausted due to prolonged siege.

And Belik was very well aware of that fact and didn’t execute forceful operations. It was because he thought that it wasn’t necessary to increase the damage his men took.

And there was another reason.

He was given a reliable card from Luke.

That evening, Belik had gathered all the commanders of each unit and help an operational meeting, she asked Shirley who was scouting up and down the river.

“Are there any places we can use?”

“Nope, the enemy’s units have already started to guard the crossings. And there Gigants troops which came out of the riverside for their sides.”

“They seem pretty good.”

Darland was referred to as the Star of Battlefield.

Even if he was so thoroughly prepared for a siege, Count Darland deserved to be called as the Master.

And he was surely someone worthy enough to be complimented, Philip spoke to Belik who couldn’t think of another way to attack.

“I really feel that we should use ‘that’, sir?”

“That?”

“Yes, the thing which His Majesty gave us.”

After thinking about what Philip said, Belik shook his head.

“That is going to be our last card. If we use it in a hurry and end up failing, then we won’t be able to think of any other method.”

“But we can’t delay this situation. According to the information we got, the enemy reinforcements are speeding up their march. In addition, it was said that the Emperor’s exclusive knights and Gigants were being sent.”

At Philip’s words, Belik’s eyes went wide.

“What? The Emperor’s Knight’s are being sent?”

“Yes, around 10 of them, who were known to have reached the full state of Sword Master.”

The story of Rudolf’s knights were already known.

It was because Count Ferrero and Shirley had given them the information.

And it was the first time for them to listen that such men were being sent as reinforcements, that too, to battle in the front line.

“This is bad. If they joined…”

If the battle was on the plains, Belik wouldn’t have blinked.

He was a confident man when it came to Gigant Battles, and he was someone referred to as the Gigant Master.

However, they were in a siege and had to attack an island city.

If they were getting hit with the enemy both on the front and back, it would be the worst situation for them.

“Can’t help it. We use ‘that’. Before those troops come in, Sherwood needs to be captured.”

“Then we need to start with the operation.”

“Surely. It is our last resort and we shouldn’t fail.”
