"What, this ditch... it's going to be a scaffolding?"
"Anything, climb, climb!"
Soldiers of the convergence army trying to take out a ladder or climb a ditch with their feet on it. But they noticed for the first time that they were going to climb. Everyone was too desperate for him to come here, but the height of these two gates and the return of them were unusual.
First of all, the ladder did not reach one of the usual ones. At last, I licked three of them, and I came straight down and understood for the first time, but the castle gate was shaved back. And on top of it there is a swept back like a flat field.
"This... how do you climb?"
"I don't know! However, if you keep returning it, you won't be attacked." After all, this is the safest place-- "
The head of the platoon leader who said so was shot through. Apparently, there was a hole in the return, from which arrows flew like rain.
The soldiers who stood by the gate, suddenly bleeding to death. The painful soldier looked back and saw spears and arrows stretching from the vertical groove.
Could it be a groove to attack?
If you look closely, there may be a small hole and weapons will pop out of it. The wall is quite thick, so it must be the gate that was built from the beginning. Politely, the hole was wide outside and narrow inside, and the shooting angle could be taken from the inside, but from the outside, this hole could not be used to attack. The long spear must have been made specifically for this purpose. There seemed to be quite a bit of preparation.
"Damn it, block the holes and grooves!" Bring me something to stuff with! "
"Captain... it's troublesome..."
“What, I know that!”
No... the weapon that comes out of it... is poisonous.
The soldier who was trying to plug the hole fell. A soldier with a wound on his shoulder earlier. I could tell at first sight that my breathing had already stopped and that I had been exposed to a nasty poison.
Poison?
As the platoon leader shouted, the odorous green air came out of the ditch. The soldiers who sucked it down one after another. I planted something poisonous in the middle of the ditch and sent out a poisonous wind with wind magic from the inside of the wall.
"O, evacuate! Evacuate!"
The blast rained down from the barrel hole that ran up towards them as they rushed back. The first group that came in front of the castle gate was wiped out with the flames.
The soldiers who saw it once stopped, but arrows flew from behind them.
”Eek!?”
Hey, we're on your side!
"Move forward! There is no way to survive a retreat!" If you step back, you'll be prey to the Catapults and arrows! Then go ahead and die! At least be the footsteps of a soldier who dies afterwards! Those who fall back will be considered deserters and executed by their families in a row! "
One of the generals led his own soldiers to proclaim exultantly. The soldiers were unable to retreat and repeated their reckless assault as they prepared to die. But as we do so, the number of soldiers attaching to the castle gate will gradually increase, and the number of ladders will increase. Soldiers had only reached the castle gate halfway, but they were using the ditch to secure their footing.
Re-assemble the ladder!
"Use the ditch to form a scaffold!" The grooves are stuffed with cloth and blocked! Then we'll be safe near the gate! "
When the Allied soldiers began to think they were doing well, a flat blade suddenly appeared at the edge of the slope. I thought that the blade, which was shaped like a windmill, began to slowly spin, and gradually increased its speed and began to spin.
The first thing I noticed was the soldiers who were trying to get to the edge of the gate. The transverse grooves are spaced at various intervals, and there is only enough space between the grooves to fit the child's back. That's why I initially thought it would be best to make it a scaffold, but on the side of making it, it shouldn't be necessary to dig a ditch like this. So, what was it made for?
I knew the answer right away. Because the blade started sliding sideways.
Jump!
Yeah?
Only a few soldiers heard it in the bustle of battle. Rapidly spinning sharp blades cut through the ranks of allied soldiers by the ladder. Few escaped, and most crashed and died after only losing their legs and hands.
The commanders who were watching it turn pale.
"W-What a cruel trick..."
How is that moving?
"Shit, start over again!"
One of the commanders puts a flag on the ground to command regretfully. Beyond the wall, Alphilees was impressed by the structure of the two gates.
Although the results of the rigid crossbow and the firing crossbow are good, the structure of these two gates... I wonder if the foundation design is really more than a hundred years old.
"It seems so." It looks like the old gate was completely renovated about 120 years ago. At that time, there must have been a superior design engineer. The structure of this gate is not listed in any book of warfare. I was impressed when I first saw it. ”
Clausel slams the gate and agrees with Alpha Reese. The same applies to the structure of the vertical and horizontal grooves of the gate, but how to make angles and returns. The ultimate aim was to turn the blade of the Zenmai trick with the momentum of several soldiers. You can store it when you don't need it, and I think it was made with this kind of trick in mind.
These two gates should never have been attacked more than the founding of Roman's Land, so I didn't know about this trick until I visited the old Claussel directly.
"The practicality is the same, but the idea of doing it so far is amazing. Maybe it's because they can't attack us that we created something like this. At the very least, I think the creator of this was the one who solved the waves.”
Surprised. That's weird to say.
Do you understand the waves, Alpha Reese?
"If you could just look at what you brought in, you'd know, right? My inventions are mixed, too."
Clausel convinced herself by looking at the rigid crossbow bows and crossbow bows made by Alpha Reese. There was no idea of firing giant arrows or more than ten arrows, but I thought it was inefficient considering the loading time. However, I did not expect to operate as a pair while rotating on a pedestal. This will allow us to fire the next shot while coordinating with the contention. As long as the arrows are in fact present, they can rain down arrows so much that the enemy cannot get close to the castle gate.
How durable is it?
"The crossbow is about 100 rounds." I fired my crossbow about 200 times. We can reuse both the strings and the wood that forms the core. "
"Excellent! You're close to perfect as a base defense weapon."
"No matter how powerful it is, it's just a weapon of murder." I don't want to use my wisdom in this. "
Alpha Reese's expression was cloudy, but Clausel seemed not to be exhausted and continued to observe her face closely. A member of the operating Jaeger corps drew attention but did not listen, so Crowzell stared with curiosity until he was finally lowered behind him to be stuck out.
And repeat three times. A soldier attached to the gate was ripped away by a rotating blade, and at the end, oil was poured in from the top lateral gutter, and the gate became extremely slippery, preventing the soldiers from attaching themselves.
The night book came down, and the Allied forces decided to retreat to wait until the oil had frozen. The battle of the first day was over, and countless bodies of the Allied forces were exposed to the terraces.
