Sevens: Fortress

Fortress
… Back in Bei over its ramparts for defense
Confir preparations to take down the massive monster army
But the un their march had still yet to reach the free city
One of the captains leading a ade looked out into the distance from the division of wall he had been afforded
“… Is Fort Redant still holding firm? Well, with twenty thousand, perhaps they’ll last a week”
He knew of Fort Redant, but however reinforced it ainst a few hundred thousand monsters
And that was because he hadn’t heard of Lyle receiving backing from the Trēs House
The considerable funds he received and used to turn the fort to a fortress was a slice of inforade chief
But even if he knew it, he wouldn’t have thought they would hold out
Bei under the premise that that allied forces of Zayin and Lorphys were to be annihilated at Fort Redant…

… Bei of merchants
In that athered, Fidel was quite irritated
Meeting hall of nable defense
The , and confirmed their information with one another It was precisely because he confirmed it, that Fidel was so irritated
“As I’m sure you already know, Beih resistance to e they may have, and the mercenaries have already been stationed in perfect condition The crafts weapons enon and on”
Sitting in his chair, folding his arms on top of the table, Fidel stared holes into the facilitator bri with confidence
(Fool At this rate, those goods you keepwill become your debt)
A nu to reap profit from this war
Purchasing equip of ould come after the monsters were repeled
But Fidel knew
(That gigolo! He went and built up a damn fortress! With my money! He arbitrarily went and used my Trēs House’s money to make a fortress, and what’s more, he used more than half of it!!?)
There were other facts that made his want to hold his head Since the Trēs House backed thee nuon and back Lyle as well
Thatthat couldn’t be laughed at Because the enemy’s advance had been simply too slow, some of Beim’s swift footed adventurers had run off for recon
And what they found wasn’t a fort, but a fortress
“By the adventurers’ diagnosis, even that wouldn’t be able to stand up to it, but… a few of them did say that it would So the possibility exists”
The fact the probability of Lyle repelling theFidel couldn’t forgive
(Just how stubborn can he be!?)
It vexed him, but what irritated him more was…
(At this rate, it will be a victory for him alone!)
In thissome manpower Naturally, the Guild was reluctant If it really came down to it, they were prepared to send two to three thousand, but Lyle immediately pulled back
If it turned out that Lyle really was able to pierce through the ion there, then the ‘truth’ would be that the Guild had refused to aid
(… Hmm, but since the Trēs House did aid him, there are no problems on my side The Guild will probably try to crush the man for it, but that’s all I could wish for)
Starting with Fidel, there were plenty of houses that backed them They did their part, was another way you could phrase it
They were s situation, but asunder the estimate of the ht Lyle could defend against several hundred thousand monsters…

The second wall
Having used it to buy five days of time, I entered the preparations to retreat
It was considerably earlier than estimated, but in this situation, it really couldn’t be helped
Looking down at the ether in a not-to-narrow space with cliffs on both sides
“This is as far as it goes Almost all of the squad initially stationed here has withdrawn to the fortress Even changing them out, with repeated withdrawals, our numbers have been cut to a thousand here”
The second wall itself could still hold
But we didn’t have the people for it anymore
By my side was Eva, who’d returned from the Fortress Her pink blonde hair was aa bit of a tired expression
“Lyle, Alette and Creit and even Albano have withdrawn to the back lines Aria three days ago… we’ve no commanders here”
I gave a bitter smile
“Oh well Since Noy-san returned, I thought we could last a few uess not”
As I said that, she was staring at me intently
“Our calculations were too soft Sending the more as soon as reinforcements come This isn’t normal”
It’s true that our calculations were largely off There, Clara raced up the steps with a e for me
She had accuue as well, and had rested a bit in the back She had only just woken up, but there were few people who could maneuver Porter, so I had to push her
“Ah, so here’s where you were, elven fraud”
“What do youabout that cynicis me, you know?”
Clara made an incredibly wonderful smile
“I’ve heard people get quite irritated when the arrow hits the e for you, Lyle-san”
Seeing Clara’s face turn serious, I grabbed and held down Eva’s arrasp at her at any moment
“The preparations are co Arrows’ from Arumsaas When I told thee for students, they got angry and said it was too dangerous And Boosted Arrows… they’ve given them an official name”
I nodded, and addressed her
“Carry back the injured and sleep-deprived We’ve things to prepare here as well”
Clara lightly pushed up her glasses with her fingertips
“A round trip again? Will you be returning first?”
I shook my head
“My apologies, I’ back last Hurry”
When Clara went back down the stairs, I let go of Eva’s arm, and spoke
“Eva, prepare to withdraw And send Monica and the Valkyries back too”
Eva looked in Clara’s direction
“That toxic wench… yeah, that’s fine, but it’s already night With so few people, I think they’ll easily get to this point, you know? You sure you want to send off Monica and co? They’ll hate it too”
When she’s supposed to be an auto?
“No problem In the worst case, this place need only remain in shape”
Because the second wall… really carried a separate purpose

Night
It was about to beco soon
As Clara was carrying personnel off to the fortress, I looked at the army of monsters
“I don’ get the feeling their nu down at all”
I was alone there, so I could reply to the voices of the Jewel The Third sounded as aloof as ever
『Why of course No matter how you chip them down, the enemy’s some hundred thousand… even if you take out half, it’s a ion that surpasses ten thousand This is a bit earlier than planned, but you could call it favorable』
I looked up at the night sky
“… We letmonsters slip by”
While I was resting, or hadmonsters let other monsters mount their backs, and even crossed over the fortress in the back
The Fifth sounded a little angry at me
『Don’t think you can do everything The other folks are doing everything they can And you did what you could Then when it passes that, it’s Beim’s responsibility Like hell you’d be able to not let a single one get through Though it reater number』
With the , the top of the as in a bad state
Eva came over to me, and informed me her preparations were finished
“Lyle, you’re the last”
“Got it”
Descending the wall, I saw the large-scale Porter preparing to depart The Porter Dahts and soldiers and elves
I climbed onto the roof, and told Clara to depart
“Let’s get going”
“… Yes”
She looked somewhat embarrassed for some reason, but noasn’t the time to call out to her on that
In regards to the wall that no longer had any resistance, the n the resultant treh porter, I turned to the wall
Perhaps the ate weaker than the structure, as they started concentrating their attacks there
When Porter was around halfway between the second wall and the fortress, the gate was breached Monsters began flowing through it
Preparing the silver bow in my left hand, I took a stance on the roof
