Fortress Conquering
… Taking a detour froy mountain road, the elite force of Centralle led by Breid proceeded forward, sending local guides and hired mercenaries to lead the way
The single-file line traversing the narrow trail seemed to carry on endlessly, and when that road that was rarely ever used was erous one
Enough that once they’d found a place to rest and spread out tents, the mercenary chiefs and local men intruded on Breid, and pleaded for him to retreat and rejoin the main force
“Any further is ie force exceeding ten thousand I went ahead and scouted out, but there are quite a few treacherous points I can’t think you’ll be able to transport so many people across them”
Before theof adventurers, Breid was annoyed
(Trash You aren’t thankful that I’ you in the first place?)
In the past, he orked hard by Lyle, and as a result had his achievements conceded to him, yet Breid held animosity towards the boy By transitive, he hated adventurers as well Before he ardless
Still, at this point, they had becoh for hatred The reason he hired theht he was of the caliber to do the sareater feats
The local guides were those that hunted in these , had only experience of travelling in few
“Dear knight,in these numbers is impossible There have already been injuries, and with all the narrow parts of the path, I can’t think I’ll get you there by the appointed date”
In his tent, Breid sat on a chair, as he listened to their opinions
“I kno absurd itsuch a deed do we leave our nah and circle around the Fortress, we can largely decrease the casualties of Bahnseim”
While his uation with Lyle were playing back He thought he could have done more And yet Lyle had left him on the reserves the entire time
The boy was formerly of a count house A driven-out incompetent Yet the one who performed on the battlefield was Lyle, and Breid had only been promoted with those merits conceded
… He didn’t want to accept that fact Now that Celes had given the order, Breid harbored a feeling you could call unjust resentment towards Lyle
The ade chief addressed him
“Any more is impossible! If it’s now, you can still turn back and meet up with the main body! If played poorly, the fortress ill have fallen before we get out of the mountains!”
On those words, Breid’s browsure his opponent couldn’t discern his irritation, he nodded a number of times
“Understood Then we shall divide the army Five thousand shall proceed ahead In that case, we should be able to arrive ahead of schedule, I’m sure”
The guide hunter still seeht to decide lay with Breid, so he abided it
Seeing the attitudes of the two, Breid thought in his head
(Incompetent lot Why can’t they understand the i the others co armies of thirty thousand, I’ll stand at the top Celes-sama will rejoice, and I’ll be a man who exceeds Lyle)
To Lyle, who’d used ploys to defeat a er than his, Breid burned with a rivalry reater than is healthy, as he failed to see as around him…

… On the other side
At Redant Fortress, an ar two hundred thousand marched down the narrow pathes From the start, it was a terrain that didn’t let onea place for battle advantageous to the other side
Froic and arrows fell like rain on the armies of Bahnseim
But co from the front line, Blois looked at Redant Fortress’ attacks, as he touched a hand to his jaw
“I can’t think they defeated that ht, the presence of a co If they had a coreater casualty”
While Blois laughed as he e shi+eld he’d prepared, his fully-equiped adjutant looked fed-up
“General, quit laughing, and hurry up and breach already We’ve already investigated all their trap placements, and decided the route of advance If we disable traps for the sake of retreat, our role will be over”
The role of Blois’ unit was to go out front, and take care of the trapsThgouth the mercenaries that had flowed out of Beim, they had paid a pretty penny to buy the information And even now, there were personnel within the Fortress gathering its internal affairs
Blois took off his helerous, so he swiftly slammed it back down
“Oh dear~, when they’re giving us such a grand and sporadic reception, I wanted to expend them a bit for the men to come, you see But as a practical problem, the cannons are troublesome”
To defend against the cannon shi+eld, they used a Magic shi+eld to kill the entle slope, the balls of iron would still roll, and trip up soldiers
“H a hole to ditch them Let’s make it so they’ll naturally end up in it if they roll”
Blois iic impacted the defensive line of shi+elds A dust cloud rose, and perhaps Blois had inhaled it, as he broke into a fit of coughing
The adjutant issued orders around, and once night fell, they would start into work
“Now then, before the ones behind us start shouting for us to do our job, let’s do a plain advance Move forward avoiding where the traps are placed But they’ve already prepared rocks to drop down the cliffs, so until another force reet too close”
Blois’ unit, advancing bit by bit They disar force to go down
The adjutant looked atop the fortress
“… Still, it really is terrible I think we’d be more troubled if they shot more professionally, or incessantly”
There were tiic fired alongside it They were attacking blindly, and it was unthinkable they had gotten any decent training Once Blois looked upon the scene his adjutant took in…
“Ohontoof their personnel and the consuht, Beim is a threat”
The adjutant looked at him, and smiled a bit
“Revising your evaluation? You did say they’re scarier in times of piece, did you?”
On those words, Blois shook his head
“Sorry, I’ve no intent to take that back Look, it see the traps Let’s advance”
Issuing commands to his subordinates, Blois made another plain advance…

South Beim
By the ti our gathered info in order alongside Monica
There was a sofa in the place I used as a work roo returned from the fortress, Rauno sat and drank his tea
“Hah, I’d prefer you’d give me ale”
Monica smile
“I thought you’d say that, so I laced the tea ever-so-slightly But right noe’re in the middle of work, so please take it seriously”
Pushi+ng his back into the sofa, and shrugging his shoulders, Rauno-san put down the cup, and leaned forward His expression turned serious
