Chapter 85: Battle of the Fortress City 9
Though I said that I need to buy time, but facing against over 150 Hobgoblins and 2 Giants, I can’t do a frontal approach.
Even so, if I kept silent, they will organise themselves immediately and attack over here.
Due to the presence of at least one Mage in the enemies, it is dangerous if I revealed myself.
I need to attack.
But a direct attack is not good.
If possible, I want to do a long distance attack that will not show myself.
Actually there is a method.
First is the summon magic that I thought would be useless, showing its usefulness in a surprising place.
I move in the opposite direction of the enemy’s gathering place, towards the north, and ordered the Wind Elementals to keep watch while using magic.
「《Summon Siege Engine》」
Using Rank 7 summon magic, I called out a huge throwing machine.
This is a machine commonly known as a catapult, a traditional siege weapon used since ancient times.
And what I called out, is a slightly modern thing which is filled with 10 huge rocks.
Just a mention, this is not a familiar.
So it just need 7 MP.
So without any reserve, I added another 3, and lined up these machines…...
The control is simple.
Using the pole to determine the shooting angle, and just push the release button.
The 2 Wind Elementals and the Centaur Knight, with me, pressed the button to release at the same time.
The wind is howling.
The huge rocks that are tossed out, flew across the streets and assaulted towards the Hobgoblins…… they should have.
The Wind Elementals flew up into the sky to check the landed positions.
The ground is shaking.
At the area that is away from the buildings, dust clouds rose.
What did it do.
「Off」
The Wind Elementals told me.
So it missed?
They told me to lower it and aim towards the back.
Maa, next time it will be more accurate.
After adjusting, the second volley.
This time, when the shaking from the volley appeared, intense screams echoed over.
Oh victims appeared?
「Around 20 Hobgoblins are headed over here.」
Well if fatalities appeared, of course they need to come here.
But the main troop is still there.
Then it means a third volley.
「Shoot, and congratulations~」
The Wind Elementals began to party.
From what they said, around 4 of them are killed at the same time.
Then…...
Just as I expected, I leveled up.
And entered the white room.
※
Now I am exchanging information with Mia in the white room.
Seems like Mia also leveled up at the same time.
We needed almost the same amount of experience to level up.
But, that Mia.
Is covered in blood.
While pressing on her left shoulder.
「Hmm, I am fine. Just got cut for a bit.」
「You are not completely okay…… Monsters?」
Mia shook her head.
「Humans. Soldiers.」
「Don’t tell me…...」
「Ah. Funny right, they suddenly appeared, and saying they can’t let me escape.」
Mia laughed self-mockingly.
「Being assumed as the pawn of the monsters, is also something that cannot be helped.」
「I will go over and help you immediately. Forget it, if it is that kind of place, then just hurry up and leave.」
「So to say, it will be fine. Since there are no more problems. And the negotiation is considered pretty successful.」
「Considered? What does that mean.」
I listened to the detail contents again.
Initially towards the unknown Mia who invaded, the surviving soldiers appeared out of the thin air.
The soldiers had emitted their killing intent and suddenly attacked.
One of the sword brushed against Mia’s shoulder.
But that soldier’s actions ended there.
Mia had used 《Sleeping Song》 to make that soldier sleep and before the other soldiers could approach, she had flew to somewhere where their hands can’t reach.
「Then I casually caused flying magic on the children. And said that that could be casted on everyone too.」
「Ah is it? If you can actually do that, they will be shakened.」
「Compared to the soldiers, the surrounding women believed me. Following the housewives’ instructions, the soldiers forcefully believed it.」
So saying, the soldiers are almost all from the people in this city, and were conscripted?
The housewives seems to be stronger huh.
「The soldiers are struggling to survive. The housewives are also struggling to protect their children.」
「Is that so……?」
If it is like that, then I have nothing to say.
They already knew that there is no chance of victory.
Even so, for the sake of their family, the sake of their loved ones, there is the will to keep on struggling.
Mia who have appeared before those kind of people, has become a beacon who shows them the way to survival.
But the problem is that Mia needs to make the other party understand.
To hand over everything to the girl who appeared before them, of course….. That will be hard.
「It will be hard to convince them.」
「It can’t be helped if we are not successful. So Mia had done well.」
「Indeed, when conversing with others from who know where, it is impossible to not question them.」
「Against those who does negotiation in another meaning , one is enough.」
And, I completely do not wish to see how you interrogate someone.
Maa, no matter what, if we can arrange something, then anything is fine.
Actually, I feel that it will waste more time.
「Then, I will go over there immediately.」
「Ah, that. Probably there is no time left.」
「Huh, that means?」
「I did not hear the sound of the catapult machine.」
Mia said.
