Chapter 671 - Battle in Pamire Mountains 3 (2/2)

Which was also meant to stop the marching monsters.

‘Even if they break through that, there are Gigants.’

Knight class Gigants of Gaius, pressed tightly together to block the road.

The warrior class ones placed behind the Gaius were supposed to give them strength, to keep them from getting pushed. Stones and spears were placed to the rear.

“Gigants have been placed in the rear for artillery right?”

“Yes, the old Gigants which were put away from active duty was placed in charge of transporting the artillery equipment.”

The area where the current line of defense was deployed was quite large for a mountain path.

In the past, the procession at the top of the mountain was left vacant for camping, and Marquis Rogers planned to stop the monsters in that place.

With the same intention, he wanted to build a fort over there.

However, they didn’t have the time or resources to do it.

So what they devised was to use the artillery units.

Rogers deployed the artillery in the rear and ordered them to move away after firing three shots.

It was because if they decided to stay in one place, they could be damaged by the enemy magic or attacked by the monsters.

And of course, there was no way that the soldiers would be able to move the cannons so quickly, so the transport of the artillery was entrusted to the used Gigants.

“I don’t know if they can hold it well. No matter how much we try holding them back with the Gigants and attack with cannons, the monsters are around 100,000 in number…”

“We need to endure it. If we can hold it off here, they will try to find a detour.”

There were two more roads going down the mountain, and similarly sized defense units were already deployed there.

If anyone of the three defense units were broken, the monsters would step foot directly into Symphonia.

If that happened, the people and soldiers would end up being in trouble.

“What about the engineers’ units deployed in the areas?”

“The work isn’t going on time, it will take another five more days for completion.”

According to the information given by the one in charge, the operation was modified in the middle, and the work wasn’t going smooth as there were too many obstacles in the basins which were selected for attack.

“That will be too late, tell them to finish it in three days.”

“Okay.”

If he and the other defense troops run out of power, they could surely hold on for 5 days with their skills.

But Rogers didn’t like the idea of using his men in the west any longer.

There was no guarantee that the only enemies coming towards them were the monster legion or the Grenada Navy.

“If I was the enemy, I would prepare for an internal revolt of some kind… What does the Chief Commander think?”

Before the war, Luke once asked Rogers for personal talks.

Rogers agreed with Luke’s assessment.

Enemies from the east were impossible to invade, as the Holy Empire was located there, and the Baroque was too busy fighting with the Volga Republic, so they didn’t have to care about it.

Therefore, it could be said that a domestic rebellion of unrest would be created to shake the Symphonia Kingdom.

The Minister of Intelligence had already selected some leading rebellion candidates. Some nobles, radical republicans, and such.

Of course, there were all just possible candidates, and they held back to see whether they will work with Symphonia or move with the enemy and cause war.

“The enemy Vanguard has appeared!”

The guards placed on the mountain peak yelled.

Weeik!

Rogers jumped onto his Gigant, Orion.

He stood on its shoulder and looked at the approaching enemies.

Trolls and Ogres and all kinds of large monsters were coming towards them in rows.

It seemed like monsters of hell were coming towards them.

“They are finally coming, let’s try and see how this goes!”

With his fists clenched, Rogers boarded into his Orion.
