146 [3-3] Tayloral Ale is excited about everything! (1/2)

The Ciel-Teirah Kingdom is a country with a rather long land spanning from east to west.

It is located between two of the five major powers, bordered by the Union of Gilesh Hattar to the west and the Kingdom of Noa Curio to the east.

The Holy Kingdom of Diretta is a country that borders the Noahcurio Kingdom to the south, and has relatively good relations with the Noahcurio Kingdom (mainly due to the patience of the Holy Kingdom of Diretta), which is said to be a brother country.

Therefore, it would have been easy for Diretta to attack Ciel-Teira by passing through Noa Curio, but instead of entering Noa Curio's territory, Diretta took the route of passing through four small and medium-sized states south of Ciel-Teira.

The reason for this can only be guessed at, but since Noachurio wanted to snatch away the Gracelum rights that Noachurio was about to acquire right in front of their eyes, they might have feared that Noachurio might be uncooperative during the march, or that they might use their cooperation as a shield against them later on if they went through Noachurio territory. He did not want to add fuel to the fire.

Diretta's army attacked like the wind, and reached the abandoned royal city of Teiralare without a single engagement.

The total number of soldiers was over 53,000. The total number of troops was over 53,000, which seemed to be more than enough to conquer the ”Rose Princess of Hell,” but in reality, it was an army of elites with a certain level of skill.

The Sacred Kingdom of Diretta gathered up the scarce information and compared it with the Temple's knowledge of the undead, and judged that the increase in the number of miscellaneous troops would lead to confusion, which would be to the advantage of the Rose Princess of Hell.

Diretta's army, positioned on the snowfield overlooking the Taylaruare, did not dare to close the distance to the undead army holed up against the city walls, but opened a distance of about one kilometer where ordinary bows and most magic could not reach.

And then, as if the heavens had shattered and fallen, they began to unleash a furious bombardment.

This is the first time I've ever done this.

Rene had already escaped from Teiralea.

Teiral'are is located in a basin surrounded by mountains. The land is unusually flat in a mountainous country.

Because of this, visibility is poor, and there are watchtowers built at almost equal intervals on the surrounding peaks. These are separate from forts and fortifications, and are used to detect the approach of enemies and demons.

Rene was in one of these watchtowers on the east side of the city, looking from Teiralore.

From the rude watchtower with windows on all sides, Rene was looking down at Teiralea in the distance.

Even though it was almost spring, the wind was cold. Of course, this had nothing to do with Rene, who was undead.

The Direttas deployed in the wide basin looked like grains of sand.

A distant roar struck my ears incessantly, and the lines of fire drawn in the air disappeared into the city walls as if they were being sucked in.

It seems that what is being fired is a physical artillery shell. I'm not sure if the magic in the earth's veins is strong enough to withstand this many shots.

There were about a hundred undead in the narrow watchtower, and a couple of them were still alive.

Rene had left only his elite troops at hand, leaving the rest in Teiralore. It was a last stand, a stopgap, a decoy.

There's no sign of the enemy getting in.

They've begun to siphon off magic power by sealing off the veins, stalling them with artillery fire.

They're trying to flush us out.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing and how you're going to do it.

In the event that you've got a lot more than one, you'll be able to use a lot more than one.

The other end of the call was an undead member of the Shinigari troops still in King's Landing.

The veins of the earth are the things that spread throughout the land.

It is not a closed vessel, but a hot spot where a lot of magic power flows and collects.

If the perimeter of the city is overrun, the magic power could be extracted from the earth's veins.

And then there's this bombardment. The more it is attacked, the more its magic reserves are depleted.

Moreover, the cannons mounted on the city walls were unable to fire back, and their counterattacks were blocked by the Diretta's soldiers who were defending their positions.

In other words, they had no choice but to move to eliminate the enemy's artillery. The goal of the Direttes would be to force them into a situation where they would have no choice but to move in and kill them.

In the event that you've got the router in your hands, the impact of theft of magic power is limited. ......

I'm not a fan. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at a few of the best ways to make sure you're getting the most out of your time.

Once the battle was over, Diretta's army would make a careful investigation of the curses and magical devices before taking over the capital. But before that, during the siege phase, they could still be fooled.

It would be akin to cutting off the flesh by cutting off the bones, and it is not a move one would normally use.

But Rene has already decided to abandon Teiral'are. If he had brought it to a city battle and poured all the magic of the veins into it, he could have killed all the vanguard troops of the Diretta army and made a last stand.

But the Direttes were cautious, well-prepared, and superior in firepower.

It was no use. Switch to the plan of pouring all the magic power into the improvised cannon as planned.

We can kill about a thousand people if we hit them in a crowded area.

”Yes, sir.

Everis ordered, and covered the window of the watchtower.

Looking down, a one-sided artillery battle was still going on.

But then, suddenly.

There was a burst of light that turned the area white and blinded everything.

Disguised as ordinary cannons, three of Everis's special magic projectors mounted on the city wall burst into flames.

They drew vast amounts of magic power from the earth's veins and spewed it out, converting it unsparingly into heat and virtual mass.

If they were fueled by human sorcerers, they would be sucked dry of their magic power and collapse in an instant.

The scream of the air as it was pushed away and scorched came to Rene's ears, even from this far away.

Then, an explosion.

The marks gouged out by the magic fire exploded in rapid succession.

The energy that had been compressed at the moment of impact diffused after a pause of a beat.

I even heard the sound of an avalanche somewhere nearby.

The snowfield was filled with billowing snow and dust.

But it cleared unnaturally quickly. It seemed that Diretta's army had used wind magic to gain visibility.

The snowfield had been transformed.

It was bumpy, as if a battalion of giant moles had appeared and ravaged it, and the soil that had been hidden under the snow was now exposed here and there.
