Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

October 17, 7451

In the evening.

"It's about time... now, just in case, I'll check my hands again..."

In front of the fort, Miroux and the others reconfirmed the raid.

Particularly at the start of an assault, it's literally a battle against time, so detailed meetings are essential.

As a result of observing the fort and the surrounding area until this time of nightfall, I learned a few things.

First, there were guards on the perimeter of the fort, one on each side of the gate at the bottom, which changed every two hours.

At the turn of the century, there seemed to be no rituals like the guards guarding the gates of Lombardy Castle, and it was almost over.

In addition, it was confirmed that several archers were stationed on the top of the fort in a place that looked like a chest wall.

However, their morale seems to be low, and at the time of the change, a few people slightly raised their faces from the chest wall and just looked around, and they retreated to a place that was not visible from here.

It is unclear whether a lookout is placed in the back of the eye-like space opened around the walls of the fort, but it is better to think that this is not the case in all the gaps, but to some extent.

And the most important thing is patrols.

A new group of six patrols will arrive from the fort approximately every 30 minutes and will return irregularly.

However, since about two hours ago, no new patrols have appeared, and only those returning have been able to do so.

This means that even if there are multiple routes set for patrols, they are not carried out at night because it is dangerous because after dark, the foot bundle will not be awake.

About 10 minutes ago, the last patrol and a group of suspects returned to the fort.

And if the reconnaissance so far was correct, it was time for the guard to change in about 20 minutes.

I understand, Captain!

Finish the final check in a few minutes and get everyone moving to place their first shot.

Of course, Milu is in charge of the whole thing, but as a soldier, I have to do the most important task.

At dusk and in the trees, Milu and his men took up their placement.

On the other side of the road to the fort was First Officer Murag.

It's just under 200 meters from here to the fort's gate.

I really want to get a little closer, but if I get any closer to the boulder, the chance of being pissed off will jump up.

In the brightness that still managed to see each other's faces, Milu and Servant Murag nodded.

Soldier Murag removed the water bag from his waist, put it on his right hand, and slowly extended his right hand to one of the guards guarding the gate.

Defeat the guard with Stonebolt's sorcery.

However, as much surplus magic power as possible is poured into extending the range and increasing the flight speed, and a single-shot special is planned.

Milu's men were the most skilled at sorcery, but I guess I wouldn't be able to use sorcery anymore today.

As it was, Murayg began to focus on sorcery.

Confirming that, Milu starts moving carefully to stay off the road.

This position is where only Murag can aim and shoot at the guard, and Milu can't see through the line of sight from her target.

Milu moved about 20 meters and hid himself in the trunk of a certain tree.

Slowly pull your face out of the trunk and send your gaze to the objective's guard.

However, the position seems to be so bad that we can't hold the target in sight.

Milu looked up and put a handcrawl on her hands, borrowed from the hunter, just in case.

Murayg, who was injecting all the magic power to extend the range and speed up the magic warhead, could still take a few minutes to fire, giving him plenty of time to do so.

Handclaw's claws stick out of the trunk, and Milu starts climbing the tree.

I carefully peered from the shadows a few meters up.

Somehow, there was a gap between the rocks and the trees, and Milu could be seen aiming at the guard.

And I could see Muleg reaching out his right hand on the ground and stiffening it.

--Okay. If this is...

I removed the handcrawl only with my right hand and put it back on my waist. I inserted my right hand into the water bag that was in my mouth.

Determine the goal again as it is.

I don't know what I'm doing because I'm too far away, but I haven't seen much movement.

Timing matters.

Return your gaze to Murag.

After seeing him fire the Stone Bolt, Milu needs to accelerate further.

We'll have a little more time before Murrayg launches.

Miroux spotted the objective's guard again and quickly turned his attention back to M'Reig.

Since the left arm supports the whole weight, this posture is difficult even for Milu, who is working out.

However, since I am not only the planner but also the leader of the operation, I am not going to fail for such a poor reason.

- Not yet?

I can't help but feel dissatisfied knowing that it will still take a little longer.

Since joining the First Knights, I've been using sorcery in full freehand since the exam.

Get out of the wall. Build a position. Break the barricade with a fireball. Heal the wounded. "Defeat him, but not more than a bolt..."

In almost all cases, it was designated from the superior to the magic to be used.

There was also dissatisfaction that magic could not be used freely, but in various cases, it was also a study to know appropriate magic.

This time, if you were sure to take down the guard, you could use the magic of the javelin class, or even release the fireball that poured a little more magic into the power of the warhead.

But that was a waste of magic.

Even though I had a lot of magic power that no one else could reach, I still needed to use a lot of magic power today.

Even if you can't kill a soldier with a single shot, it's enough if you can't shout.

--Sweet, cold...

Stroke Milu as the frozen wind hangs over the trunk of the tree.

Considering the time and time of day, it is not strange that the body temperature is below freezing.

(* I'm sorry for the poor illustration. It is an image of the mountain peaks and forts. Shrubs grow everywhere, and the ground is not only rocky, but also has a lot of earthy and highland plants. I imagine a mountain that adds all three of Mt. Hagina, Mt. Akagi, and Mt. Myoshi, divided by two. The height of Mount Demacar is assumed to be about 1700-1800 meters.)

I turned to the fort to take another look at the objective.

- Whoa!?

Milu opened her eyes in amazement and at the same time distorted her face.

One of the fort's narrow spaces was lit up.

--Did you light a fire inside, or was it a magic tool...?!

Some of the lamp magic instruments emit light like pure white fluorescent lamps, but it is not uncommon to have daylight like incandescent lamps, so it cannot be judged by the slightly orange color alone.

Given the temperature and the time when the sun set, the possibility of turning on the lights was well thought out.

- Shit. People can come out to set a bonfire... hurry!

With the exception of Milu, Murag was the only one with enough magic power to strike from this distance.

I turned my gaze back to Murayg to pray.

As usual, he remains stiff with his right arm extended to the objective's guard.

- Please...!

As soon as Milu's wish arrived, Murag unleashed the Stone Bolt.

Miroux immediately returns his gaze to the objective's guard and unleashes the same sorcery.

However, in addition to speeding up to the limit, it also has guidance (missiles).

The magic warhead Milu fired pierced the target's neck a short time before it landed.

--Haaa... I'm glad you're wearing a missile...

After receiving Murag's Stone Bolt, I noticed that my partner was lying on the spot without being able to speak out, and I was on the verge of correcting the slightly misaligned position in an attempt to shout out loud.

But I don't have time to take a breath.

- Hurry up!

He waved his right hand and flashily threw away the hollow leather bag, grabbed the handcrawl again, and hurriedly and carefully descended from the tree.

If you try to jump badly and get injured, everything will be fine.

I didn't go out of my way here.

When I stepped on the hard ground, I couldn't care less about footsteps and moving shadows.

We must quickly block the gate.

At the same time, Milu leaped up the mountain road leading to the fort and leaned his right hand over his head.

It must be filled with elements from the direct use of Earth magic as soon as possible.

My men, including Murag, were holding sweat in their hands.

There was a rough sound over Milu's head.

It wasn't far enough for my brother to use it, but along with her, I reached the level of the Seven Great Magicians.

At just 7 MP, 1,000 cubic meters (100 m per side in the case of a cube) of soil can be revealed.

And the gate is starting to light up from the back!

Someone's coming down!

I can't afford plastic surgery!

Milu began to fly large quantities of soil in a spherical shape.

- Just in time!

At the same time as blocking the gate of the fort, the sun fell completely.

The stars are beginning to blink in the rapidly increasing darkness of the sky.

"... fufu, fufufu"

With a deep breath, Milu put his right hand in the sky again.

Now it's time to fly the shaped soil so that it doesn't come out so easily.

It is also necessary to be careful not to hold the soil too high.

If you jump out of the space open at the bottom, you can't even touch your eyes.

--Well, I'm sure it'll be fine...

It won't be as hard as the ground on which she stands now, but it's still solid enough.

Even if I jumped, there was 20m, and even if I was saved, I wouldn't be able to avoid serious injuries.

However, it was easy to use Earth Magic to expose elements.

The amount of dust that can be produced is unlike Milu, but literally the dust piles up.

I can't do it too expensively.

In any case, it is seen that there are about 500 people in the fort.

Combined with the first flight, a total of six times, after flying the soil, Milu finally looked around.

I noticed an abnormality in the roar on the fort side, which was also made by a large amount of soil.

You can see her face from the rooftop chest wall and hallway, and she can also see herself screaming.

Even if it gets so dark, you'll see enough dirt. It's not clear whether it's for bonfires or guards, but some people have seen the entrance blocked in front of them.

Moreover, I didn't notice it because I was continuously shaping the soil and concentrating on flying it, but it was only recently that the sun had completely set.

It was highly probable that Milu had been seen flying the dirt.

"Now, let's do it...!"

Milu stood up and walked toward the fort.

Of course, I will give you a surrender recommendation first.

Along the way, some of the men who had been assigned to the position also joined up.

The only one who didn't join us was the Vice-Captain, Sir Kingshire.

Because he also serves as a message in the unlikely event of an accident.

This is a rendezvous in view of the possibility of a vigilante presence in the distance to the fort.

There is also a great deal of caution when being targeted by bows and arrows from above the fort, but it is also an appeal that the fort side hid soldiers around without noticing.

After all, we haven't been able to capture the total number, so I want you to mistake it for a lot more soldiers lurking around, not just a few here.

I don't know if it will happen, but if you can make trouble by blaming the patrols and surveillance soldiers who have already returned, I hope that it will give us more room.

As expected, no arrows were fired from the fort.

In addition to not being able to aim at the dark and busy, you can't commit fools who consume arrows for a few people.

Around 100 meters to the fort, Milu stopped and took a big inhale.

"Tell the soldiers of the Junker kingdom in the fort!! The fort is already under siege by our Rombert kingdom army!! If you surrender quickly, I will guarantee your life!! However, if you do not surrender, I will destroy each fort and smash you to hell without leaving anybody behind!"

I don't know if my voice is coming, but I don't want to get any closer to the boulders.

Because of the distance and the height difference, I won't be able to accurately hear it.

But it didn't matter to Miru and the others.

"I'll give you one minute!! If you don't respond by then, admit that you are willing to fight, and we will launch an attack!!"

As they screamed for the last time, Miroux and the others looked up at the fort.

Almost all of the narrow spaces are lit up and people can be seen to be stupid.

As a matter of course, the surrender recommendation was unacceptable.

Because I had anticipated this from the beginning, no one was down.

If you give them a little more respite, or if you declare that they are close enough to be sure to hear, they may have been accepted, but you can't assume that they surrendered unless you give them a signal or yell to show it.

Well, I'll do it as planned.

With such a declaration, Milu stretches her right hand to the sky and concentrates her mind.

"......!"

A large amount of soil began to emerge with the sound of a thud.

However, there is something different than before.

The soil began to shrink as soon as it appeared.

The volume is only one hundredth of a percent, but this time, Milu created granite rather than soil.

Plastic surgery is performed at the same time.

Combined with the appearance of smallness and darkness in the distance, bows and arrows did not fly from the fort, and the granite was safely shaped into a spindle shape with a diameter of 2 m and a length of about 4 m.

I used my magic power to move it over the fort.

Naturally, they pointed downwards.

Then, release it around 100 meters on the roof of the fort.

How many layers of spindle-shaped granite can penetrate the ceiling?

Roaring, the shell-like granite fell to the ceiling of the fort.

To finish, the granite pierced through seven layers from top to bottom and stopped.

At the same time, the fort was dominated by panic.

At the same time as letting go of granite control, Milu uses water magic to produce 1,000 cubic meters of water.

Because of the reflection of the starlight, this was not missed by the boulder, but in addition to the fact that the person who caused panic and released the bow was extremely small, this amount of water is the defensive wall.

Not a single bow and arrow that was released could reach Miru and the others.

Moves water masses over the fort as well as granite.

Since the altitude is close to the nearest point where you can see Miru and the others, is it about 20 meters above the sky?

At this height, some of it will overflow, but most of it will be blocked by the chest wall and flow into the inside from the hole drilled by the granite.

Milu let go of control.

At the same time, a thin smile appeared on his face.

When it was repeated twice or three times, water gushed vigorously from the narrow space in the upper part of the fort.

The water was a mixture of small objects, furniture and, to a lesser extent, the human body, which seemed to have been used in the fort.
