Chapter 637: 622 First Siege Warning

Someone was clearly watching us before we went back but since it didn't follow us after we teleported, I can assume that it is only there to watch how strong we are and scale whether we are too dangerous or not. But knowing that they are watching us, I have some doubts about whether it was alright for me to just leave that person out.

Anyways, we returned to the village and most of the captive villagers were already untied from their bindings. Alain is also there administering first aid to people who have been wounded. I stopped Alain from doing so and I cast an [Area Heal], healing everyone from their wounds.

"Just save up the medicine for the next time. It would be best if you have extra medicine in case we are not here to provide any aid," I patted Alain's shoulders.

"Thank you very much for the help. However, is it true that someone betrayed us and decided to sell us out to the Angels?" Alain asked.

"That's what I heard, I don't even know whether that is true or not but I can tell that some of the Angels might have bribed that guy some gold and when tempted to do so, he did. I might guess that guy must be dead by now. After all, the Angels will not give any respect to anyone who betrays them and seeing one who willingly betrays his companions for money, it is clear they will dispose of him too."

"Very likely. However, even if they don't and he returns alive here, I will not accept him again, I am not brain-dead enough to let someone who almost led all of the innocents suffer for their whole life."

Alain confirmed that we completed the quest but before we can go back to the relaxation, one of Alain's spies that are tracking information outside of the base appeared before us.

"Boss, I have an urgent matter to report."

"Speak."

"The Castellan might be coming back again to launch an attack and end the rebels once and for all. They are going to launch a full attack on us."

"Are you sure about this news?"

"Yes. It's accurate info. We are even scoping how big of a group will he be bringing in to take down us."

"Thanks. You may go. Keep track of the movement of the enemies. If they are already on the way, let us know."

"Roger."

And with that, the spy disappeared once more while Alain grips his sword tightly.

"Calm down, Alain. Getting too rash will just result in our failure. There are still a few hours left before the attack will begin. We still have time to fortify and arm everyone so that we can respond to the attack. It's just a warning."

"Still, I am sure that the Castellan is very eager for us to disappear in the face of this world."

"We will show him that even if our numbers are small, that doesn't mean they can easily erase our existence here. Don't worry, we will be here to support you. Alright, let's get moving. The more we idle, the more the Castellan will be ready for the attack. Let's make sure this little fortress we made will be impenetrable and will stop him from moving forward."

There are no more breaks. With an undetermined time when the Castellan is going to attack, fortifying the base as fast as possible and letting everyone hold a weapon is slowly working. Also, to avoid heavy casualties, we will be the vanguard and shield in this operation. That way, the soldiers will be able to fire their projectiles at the enemy in the distance, keeping the enemies in the distance, and can just focus on anyone who managed to slip away from our attacks.

If only I know what transpired here in the past timeline, I would have already predicted what will be happening but it's also good that I don't know. This is a fresh playthrough and without the walkthrough advantage I have, all I can do is rely on my knowledge of how the angels usually fight.

Right now, I am currently making a few weapons for the other rebels and on the sidelines, I am also repairing their weapons and armor back to tip-top shape. Harmless Sparrow and Sigma are all both in charge of fortifying the base. With Sparrow having a piece of good knowledge in fortifying the base to be accessible but still retaining the defensive status and Sigma's capable aura to lead, the progress was smoothly happening.

While I am currently on a break, Lucia started to speak.

"Master. How about you allow us to help? We would easily defeat the Castellan and beat up everyone that dares to attack the camp!"

"It was a good suggestion Lucia but not right now. You guys are my final aces. If things are not going well, you guys will be there to help save the day and to increase the combat capabilities of our ranks. Not only that but I don't want to expose you guys to the enemies who are still gauging our abilities. That way, they will not expect you guys to appear if I ever drop you all out to fight. The element of surprise is with us."

"Master is right, Lucia-sama. It's best we show up during the climax of the battle. Showing up your aces too early will mess up all of the plans and the enemies will expect you already. They will start preparing for something that can counter their abilities and that is bad. We are in a war of attrition here. We win if we keep our aces unrevealed," Atlas explained.

Atlas is very knowledgeable in battle tactics indeed. As expected of someone who has lived and fought during the original primordial wars, he is making use of what he learned in the past. As for Lucia, she is still too green in war and although she experienced it, she didn't experience it that long as she was sealed by her parents. She still needed to see more experience in war to know how wars will go.

4 hours later, the same spy from before reappeared once more.

"My lord, the Castellan is on the move. He is bringing a group of 5,000 soldiers with him. Half are all mages and half are cavalrymen. They are estimated to arrive this evening, 5 hours from now."

"That soon huh? And from the looks of it, he is planning to surround the whole village so that we don't have any escape huh?" Alain shook his head.

"Are you going to run away?" I asked him.

"Who? Me? Hahaha, you are joking, right? Until I breathe my last, I will defend the last bastion of hope to all those who have been rejected by this society just because we are fallen from the angel race doesn't mean we are not angels either. We will be protecting the rights of everyone who has been abandoned by those strict laws of theirs and survive!"

Everyone who heard this started shouting in unison.

"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!"

The unity of the rebel army is just present despite the overwhelming disadvantage. Having Alain as their leader made the rebel army stronger. I applaud him in the past timeline, he fought until he breathed his last just like what he said right now. He didn't give up and although in the past timeline, he didn't succeed, I will make sure that in this timeline, everything will succeed.

Since we still have 5 hours left before their arrival, everyone started finishing their jobs and worked faster. The looming war is already weighing down on everyone but no one is slacking and wallowing in despair. Everyone is ready to fight, ready to die, and ready to defend the family that they have made.

As for me, I am always ready. I have always been ready.

Just like the spy said, the Castellan is already nearing the base with the angels behind him marching as they are about to surround the village.

"Close the gates!" Alain shouted as he was standing on the top of the walls created watching everyone below him.

The workers immediately responded and roll down the chains, closing down the gate, and stopping everyone and everything from the outside from entering.

The Castellan appeared before us, riding in a white horse. He is wearing a very bright armor that is too polished that I can see my reflection on it. He looks like he was about to go to a fashion show instead of a battle due to the armor he has right now. I tried to appraise but was disappointed that it has a very bad defensive stat and it doesn't even have much protection that it would be comparable to a level 50 armor worn by players and usually are dropped by level 50 armored skeleton.

"Accursed Rebels! Surrender now, or prepare to die in the name of the God of Life!"

"Ha! Suckers! Preach somewhere else! We will not be dying today!"
