141 Crete Fortress.

The float that set me on fire is flying towards Crete Fortress. I smiled faintly as I looked at the white clouds flowing under the gas, covered in a pool of blue blood. It was thanks to the successful completion of the Fortification Fortification Enhancement Attack.

Recently, a group of reel spiders have focused on Fort Jabbol, leaving very few people in Fort Lar. Several aerial reconnaissance shows that the number is roughly thousands of individuals. I took all the support I could find and attacked Fort Larr and completely destroyed them.

And on my way back now, I found a large group of reel spiders rushing towards Fort Lar. When we took Fort Lar, the group of reel spiders who were staying in Fort Jabbol was divided.

The distance between Fort Lar and Fortress Jabbol is tens of kilometers, which would take roughly two days to calculate the speed at which the reel spider moves. Now that we're in battle at Crete Fortress, they're forced to make an axial assault two days apart.

That means it's easier to defend Crete Fortress all the time. You can defeat a rationed enemy in turn.

‘It's time to break their spirit. ’

The group of reel spiders is now in chaos. I was left and right with no idea where to attack, and the damage was gradually increasing due to our buoyancy raid and Najr's ambush.

Now all that remains is to pick the right time to break the reel spider horde's focus.

The only problem is that there are too many reel spiders, and there's no reason not to destroy them if you're prepared.

But I should never forget one thing. Catching the Queen of the Lil Spiders.

The Reel Spider horde looks like an ant horde. This fight will never end unless you kill a Spider Queen who lays an egg and is called the number of races.

“Sir, we'll be arriving at Crete Fortress shortly. ”

The skies of Crete Fortress are clear without clouds.

As I looked down at the ground, I looked down at the harbor. It's because I saw a lot of ships flying around the harbor near Crete Fortress. It seemed to be a fleet carrying Adhan's troops.

“Yes, well done. ”

As the floater lands in the fortress void, I retrieved the chaos pieces from Fort Lar.

After a while, an army enters Crete Fortress. It was clear that Kara Central was led by General Adan, given that the Magic Car was leading the way. Kara is the only military operating a magic car in the world right now.

//

Conference room at the Command Building in Crete Fortress. At the beginning, I had the commanders of each army assembled around a round table.

Lord Sanctis and Lord Leonardo, who lead 16,000 Central Church troops; Duke Fabious and Earl Burto, who lead 20,000 Bastian troops; General Kasim and Adan, Bayan, who lead 15,000 troops. As an observer, Armida and Catherine and four other holy women attended.

As I opened my eyes, Bayan stood up on the platform and started briefing the strategy.

“A large group of reel spiders are now gathering at Fort Lar and Fort Jabbol, which they took from me. The approximate number of subjects is 800,000. It's somewhat higher than the 600,000 we identified a month ago. ”

A large number of the commanders gathered in the area are crying out over the severity of the situation. 800,000 magical objects, a terrible mob to imagine.

On the other hand, there were those who didn't take it very well. It was Sir Sanctis who participated in the workshop last Zabbol Fortress. He was quite confident shortly after winning a one-sided battle.

Sir Sanctis adds a word.

“You don't have to worry about that. Our coalition forces are well prepared. ”

“Sir Sanctis. Don't you think that's a little awkward? It's 800,000 pieces of magic. We are, on the other hand, 51,000, right? If they run into us, this Crete Fortress won't hold much longer. ”

The protestor was Lord Leonardo. He was a member of the Dark forces, disdainful of Sir Sanctis, the usual forces of light. But the speech just came from reality, not emotion. In general sense, it was never enough to stop 800,000 horses with more than 50,000 troops.

Lord Sanctis waves his hands firmly.

“That's because we don't know the strength of our army. ”

“Are you sure Sir Sanctis isn't being arrogant? Power cars are eight times the size. even with a simple number calculation. If this is the case, how confident are you? ”

Ser Sanctis gives an unpleasant look at the criticism of Lord Leonardo's day. However, as a believer, I immediately opened my mouth in a calm and respectful manner.

“Of course, I would have thought the same if I hadn't experienced the last battle. The last battle chariot was 50,000 to 16,000. Our troops were overwhelmingly disadvantageous, but when we opened the lid, we were only three people who had an accident. Whereas the magic was 50,000. ”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. They've melted down with shotgun shells and flamethrowers without even getting around the walls." The one who was lucky enough to fall into the moat was also burned to ashes by Jorgan's fire. And didn't you see the stimulus here? Now the paradigm of war has completely changed. He fought with a spear knife.

It's a different dimension from the times. If we have enough combat supplies, we think it's definitely worth fighting for. ”

Lord Leonardo looks embarrassed. It's because I've been arguing about the objective indicators of past combat results, so I wanted to answer them.

“But we can't guarantee the same results this time, can we? ”

“Of course, we shouldn't anticipate the consequences of war in advance, but we don't think it's right to underestimate our own power. You'll see if you try it this time. I felt the same way about you in the last battle. I fought only for God's care. But at the end of the battle, I realized why I was so scared.

I was so ashamed. God had already given us great power, and I felt sorry for myself for not believing it. ”

“Hmmm.”

I stopped their conversation by clearing my throat. Sir Shantis, we're going out of business and we're going out with three thousand guns. I prepared and prepared them all, turning them all to the grace of God.

I had to feel bad for myself.

“Bayan, go on. ”

Bayan nods, continuing the briefing.

“The reason our troops have set up battle stations here at Crete Fortress is because it is close to the sea. ”

One of the greatest strengths when facing the sea was the fact that Qasim Shamrak's ship could be assisted by naval firing. In other words, a more dense crossfire could cause immense damage to a large group of reel spiders.

Moreover, there is a port near Crete Fortress. It was very easy to disseminate since it was possible to transport ships.

And there was a wide gravel stretched out around the river. The majority of them were round and could be used as a shotgun substitute if they were in a hurry, or as a substitute for stone beads to be dropped on a float.

Sir Sanctis said with a satisfied face.

“So there are no supplies exhaustion concerns like the last battle? ”

“Yes.”

“I like it. ”

Bayan handed over a briefing.

“And the number of stimuli we can mobilize today is in our 30s. Thanks to this, we can rate our air support capabilities doubled compared to the last battle. ”

Then Duke Fabious opens his right hand and says,

“Wait. What's the reason for the sudden increase in the number of stimuli? ”

I answered for this. Bayan doesn't know that nine of them were taken by Evelyn.

“There was a man who was previously testing the flight. It's done this time, so I put in a big one. ”

“Really? You don't think there's any other support? ”

“Nothing. It's a scrape too. ”

“Got it.”

After our brief conversation, Bayan moves on to the next chapter.

“While some commanders are currently concerned about the group of 800,000 reel spiders, it is expected that we will face less than half the battle of each unit. ”

Lord Leonardo raises his hand and raises his questions.

“Why?”

“The large group of reel spiders that we have now encountered are divided into Fort Lar and Fort Jabbol. And there's a whole bunch of other small groups scattered around. ”

“Does this mean they're coming for the festival? ”

“Yes, most likely. ”

Lord Leonardo nods.

“I'm glad you're unhappy. ”

“But there's still a lot of them. I think guarding is forbidden. ”

“Of course you do. But when will the battle begin? ”

“We're looking at the right time. ”

Then Lord Champis raises his right hand to protest.

“Do you really need to look into it? I think our battle stance is already flawless. ”

“But the longer we wait, the better off we are. We have nothing to lose if we're patient enough to find the best timing. In the meantime, there will be fewer and fewer deployments of reel spiders in our air drop operations. ”

Lord Leonardo strongly agreed with Bayan.

“You'd better do as you're told. Waiting will benefit our allies, but there's no need to rush. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Later, Bayan moved on to the next agenda. It is said that the nearby wall of Hadita Harbor is expanding, and construction of towers and walls is currently underway.

Once the construction is complete, the Allied forces will have more reliable supplies and new attack options for future Spiders. A new shooting node at sea, the port of Hadita, after Crete Fortress.

So the Allied Forces tentatively seized the end of this construction as the day of the final battle. Well, three's better than two.

* * *

The port of Hadita has finished its new makeup. The time of battle has come for Baháh.

Meanwhile, the paramours who had been deployed to the drop raid focused on reconnaissance missions, as well as Nazir's forces who were active in the Jabbol Fortress refrained from attacking, killing their breath and waiting for time.

The preparations are complete.

Along the plains south of Crete, Lauren's stacks of poisonous herbs were lined up with moisture. Also, the moats around the fortress were dug wider and deeper, and there were a lot of war supplies in the warehouse.

Moreover, unlike during the battle of Jabbol Fortress, the soldiers were overwhelmed with confidence. When the outcome of the past battle was spread through experienced people, everyone was full of morale.

Experienced, and enough supplies this time. Even if they're all coming, we can handle them.

“Nazir. What's your situation?" ”

In my question, Nazir in the communication room answered.

“It's not like usual. It's still full of reel spiders. ”

“Really? But as soon as we start our decoy activities, we'll be out like a sled. We wait until then, and when the new ones arrive, we'll draw them to guerrilla warfare. Just do what you've been doing. Don't go out and get beaten up. ”

“Yes.”

“And let us know every time a new herd passes by the fortress of Jabbol. Okay?"

“Yes, I understand. ”

“Well, is there anything else unusual? ”

Nazir replied with an embarrassing face.

“It's too subterranean for my men to complain about. ”

I hold my head back as if I understood. It was only a small underground shelter for more than two months, so it was natural for me to complain.

“The battle will be over soon, so you'll have to be patient. Within just ten days. I'll let you see the sunshine in there. ”

“Very well. But a friend of mine has something to say. ”

I tilted my head.

“Friend?”

“About Hubeo. ”

I rolled my eyes.

“Oh, was Hubeio there? ”

Soon Hubeio pushed Nazir and appeared on the screen.

“Hey! You put me in this unit! ”

“Me? Really? ”

“Yes! I told you to heal the wounded in battle in Nazir's army with magic! ”

“Oh, that reminds me. You've been through a lot. ”

I don't remember, but I pretended to know. A friend who had forgotten he existed for more than two months. I felt like I needed to say a word of comfort.

“Really. How could you put me in this basement for two months? ”

“So what do we do? There should be at least one wizard there to heal the wounded. And it's good for you anyway, right? ”

“What?”

“Anyway, you've been on a run for over two months now. I've been trapped in Jabbol Fortress for some time now, and the family won't blame you for not coming home. ”

Hubeo smiles at you from inside the communication room. The purpose he followed me was to secure the legitimacy of escape. Though I must have suffered in the basement of Jabbol Fortress, I could see I had listened to his wishes.

“Anyway, I can't stay here anymore. ”

“Then come out. But I'm not responsible for the rest. How many of your magic tricks are there? ”

“Hey! Send a support boy. Dependency.”

I shaken my head decisively.

“No. There's going to be a battle soon. How do I send it? Just hang in there. You'll see the sun soon. ”

“Really!"

“Then I'll hang up. I'm busy. ”

I graciously disconnected the magical communication. I have a lot of work to do right now. I didn't have time to listen to Hubeo's complaints.

I gave orders to Bayan who was standing behind me.

“Now catch some reel spiders. Take out the bait squad. ”

“Yes.”

Bayan rushes out, and the bait squad marches out. The day of the fight was today.
