The Ability to Make Town!? ~Let’s Make a Japanese Town in Different World~ Chapter 94 – Fujiwara Territory Defense Battle 4

Town chapter 94: Fujiwara Territory Defense Battle 4

The armor unit led by Komatsuna retreated again in front of the heavy machine guns. When they returned to the main unit, five new cannons were lost and only eighteen were left.

"It's a gun. The enemy has a gun. It's not just a gun. It's a large caliber and has a long range to fire. It's a horrible weapon comparable to a cannon"

Komatsuna reported to Reanis who was standing at the head of the unit and watched the battle. Then Reainis gnashes his teeth. When his neat face is greatly distorted, the tremendousness that appears on the face will be undeniable, but that's a little too. Reanis says, with a cool look.

"Guns, guns? If there are cannons, that's natural. We're developing guns as well. But when it comes to something that's so good, you have to think a little. Obviously, the degree of civilization is strange"

No one knows j.a.pan and doesn't know guns. There is no stupid story about making a cannon and not making a gun. Of course, even in the Initia kingdom, guns were made by the life of Reanis. However, in the current situation it is hidden as a secret weapon and it has not yet been shown on the stage.

"Is it due to some kind of ability or original knowledge?"

"Now, how about it? Anyway, there is no doubt that they have more advanced technology than we do"

When Komatsuna asked, Reanis returned with a calm mouth. However, Komatsuna did not notice that Reanis´s palm was sweating.

"……What should we do"

"To be clear, I feel like I want to escape, Komatsuna. But it is also scary to miss them here. If they add the refugees from the capital, the land will become stronger. It's a shame that we couldn't listen to the story before we were able to talk to them, even though the war was opened like this"

The difference in strength is clear. There are many advanced firearms in the Fujiwara army and it seems that Reanis seems bearish.

"Isn't it too late to step back once, send a spy in and steal the technology?"

"I don't think it's easy to steal the most advanced technology. If you're ahead of the fight against the eastern countries, it'll be Giuliano Va.s.sari of the Youju Empire――Nagai. You know that, don't you? Nagai is not on his side. Just like we use it, they´re just using it too. Anyway, the fight is still going on. Leaving this land is an uncertain factor. Queen Olivia is there too and if we leave them like this, they will naturally try to retake the territories we have conquered"

"Then, should we fight as it is?"

"What do you think, Komatsuna?"

When the question was returned, Komatsuna thought, 「Reanis himself probably can't make a decision」. So is Komatsuna. He couldn't make a decision. He thinks it's the right thing to fight and win somehow, but it seems like it's also right to retreat once.

"……I dont know"

"That's right, I also can't make a decision. I'd like to talk to the others here. ――People who are not less than company commanders"

Reanis orders a a.s.sembly in a high and clear voice. From the line, each captain joins and makes a circle on the spot. Some of them were beastmen.

"――That's why, I want to hear everyone's opinions"

After Reanis explained the current situation, he asked everyone for their opinions. Fight or retreat? First of all, there are two choices.

The answer is silence of agony. Everyone was frowning, tying their lips tightly and not speaking.

If they want to fight, they must show a strategy and be prepared to fight themselves. But they are just watching. A miserable situation that makes you want to cover the eyes of the armored troops.

However, if they retreat, honor will be deceived. As the saying is 「It is the greatest shame for a knight to be hurt in the back」, it is only a shame to run away with the tail in front of the enemy. Because honor is sometimes more important than life.

Even though all the soldiers were quietly in the procession, there was a gapless soundless s.p.a.ce that was more quiet. The captains remained silent in front of the soldiers they commanded, even though they were pitiful. However, there is a person who threw a stone in the silence.

"......We'll do it"

A squeezed voice. From the quality of the voice, it turned out to be words after suffering. But whose voice was it?

As soon as the captains's eyes are sharpened. Because it was a beastman――the head of the wolf tribe.

"I understand your enthusiasm, but even if you attack the dark clouds, you´re just going to die. Is there a plan?"

"All of us beastmen charge and attack the wall. The enemy's attack will go to us. In the meantime you break the wall with the cannons. If the enemy attacks the cannons, that's when we go up and occupy the walls"

The head of wolf tribe answered Reanis's question without hesitation. The captains are impressed by his spirit and are breathtaking. The black eyes of the head of the wolf tribe. However, in the back of his eyes, there was something that could be called a flame of determination that burned firmly.

"You will die......"

Reanis was aware of the ruthlessness of the operation of the wolf tribe. Not just attacks from enemies. Attacking the walls with their own will mean they will be attacked by the cannons from their allies.

"We haven't had any responsibilities in the battles so far. Today, today, fulfill the promises we have made since the present. A country for our children. Lord Reanis take care of them"

It was a tragic preparation. They may be annihilated. The wolf tribe chief realized that and therefore entrusted their children to Reanis. A beastmen's country is established in a privileged land. The Initia Kingdom has sovereignty and allows the beastmen to maximize autonomy. This was a promise that had been made for a long time――a price for the beastmen who played an active part in the war now.

Reanis closed his eyes. No one knows what he is thinking about. After a short time, Reanis wraps up.

"――I understand. So let's go"

"Reanis!"

Komatsuna shouted to blame. For Komatsuna, who has different values ​​from those on this continent, a beastman with ego and wisdom is just a person with a slightly different face. There are sacrifices in a battle. Komatsuna himself is already prepared to die.

But Komatsuna thought that the value of sacrifice and the victory against it should be balanced. That's why he couldn't help thinking that getting this land was a good result for the great sacrifice of the beastmen. He couldn't help but wonder if it was a victory they should win.

"......Sacrifices will surely be rewarded. The beastmen look at the future of their tribe. They are looking at the future of the continent. Whatever the outcome here is, I will not despise the promise with the beastmen. I swear to G.o.d Ras.h.i.+a in my name, to everyone here. Come on, this is the last time! Get ready for battle!"

In this way, a major operation that presupposes the death of the beastmen is carried out.

"Why don't they retreat?"

"I'm so surprised, can't I move ?? I 'm scared. I 'm scared."

"Haha, that's good."

The conversation of the voices of the beasts on the castle. The cheeks become loose. It is n.o.buhide who is looking at it without reprimand.

(Although it feels a little floating due to the great victory from the battle, it's better than being nervous)

n.o.buhide saw them who were actually nervous and couldn't aim at the enemy just a while ago. It was also due to the strategy with the enemy's intention, but even without it, it was good to say that it was a difference from the time of training.

"The enemy has moved!"

Someone shouted from among the beastmen. n.o.buhide looks into his binoculars. He could see the infantry moving east and west, taking a certain amount of s.p.a.ce from the castle.

(What are they going to do? Are they going to attack from outside the southern wall?)

Landmines are buried all over the east, west, north and south wall. The ignition switch is also handed over to anyone of the wolf tribe and is in perfect condition. But the enemy infantry seem not to take even cannons when they split east and west. As n.o.buhide peeked for a while, the enemy eventually disappeared behind the walls. Then――

"He, Hey, that......!"

"No way!"

The surroundings are strange. n.o.buhide quickly returned the binoculars to the center. It enters the retina through the lens and it is visualized. The people who came from the enemy side to the southern city walls were not humans. ――They were beastmen.

"Fu, Fujiwardono, what are we going to do?"

The Ox tribe chief´s voice was trembling. The feelings are painfully understood.

n.o.buhide knew that there were beastmen among the enemies. But when they appeared in front of him, n.o.buhide's chest was filled with complicated emotions that could not be expressed.

But n.o.buhide thought it was different. Tell them that they are beastmen who betrayed them. By thinking so, n.o.buhide tried to stabilize the spirit.

"What you do doesn't change. You only shoot when they are in range"

"Let's persuade them"

"There is a movement in the back. Perhaps those beastmen are going to attack the castle wall, while the humans attack with cannons from the back. There is no time to persuade them"

The point came. There is no intention to attack the infantry divided in the east and west. They are used to nail those who protect the east, west and north walls.

"Wait a minute! While the enemy beastmen are attacking the walls, the enemy will shoot the cannon!? That's it!"

"That's right. Those beastmen were abandoned"

If the enemy´s beastmen reach the castle wall, this means that they will be targeted by their allies, as well as the walls. It's a terrible hand. It's so heartless that you can't usually think of. However, n.o.buhide thought that the effect was enormous for that.

"Well, if that's the case, if we talk with them, they'll be on our side!"

"What would you do if they were persuaded? Can they get in the gate? What would it be if it were a false surrender? There's no other way here than to attack"

To n.o.buhide´s decision, the Ox tribe chief screamed 「Guuu」 and said nothing. The Ox tribe chief might understand. But still, they were merciful of those being thrown away and looked for a way for each other to live.

n.o.buhide looked into the binoculars again. The beastmen come up with a rising smoke cloud. Will a thousand go down?

In each hand is a ladder to go up the castle wall with a sword and bow and arrow. It seems that they also brought a cannon with a roof, even with a cannon.

Also, the beastmen are not only one tribe. There are several races. Yes, multiple tribes.

――There were wolfmen among them.

n.o.buhide's arm trembled. An old wolfman came running with a desperate face. His breathing is rough. It seems that his breathing has reached its limit. Suddenly Jiharu's face overlapped with the old wolfman. n.o.buhide felt painful and chested, and felt like the whole body was tightened as if he was tied up.

There were no children, but there were women. A beautiful but lonely woman who leaves some innocence is running towards the wall. It was a woman whose atmosphere was similar to Mira. Her eyes are colored with preparedness. What is she prepared for? Needless to say, ready to die.

"Fujiwardono! They crossed the line! Give us the signal for bombarding!"

n.o.buhide hears the voice of the Ox tribe chief. However, n.o.buhide does not understand it. It was as if n.o.buhide's head had lost its brain and the Ox tribe chief´s voice seemed to resonate in the cavity.

"Fujiwarsama!"

One of the escorts who was standing aside――Mira shook n.o.buhide's shoulder while calling his name, looking at the current situation. As soon as n.o.buhide returned to himself, he grasped the situation and gave an order.

"Sh, Shoot!"

The voice was surprisingly unhealthy. It is the Ox tribe chief who rephrased 「Shoot! Shoot!」. The cannons entrusted with the spot started firing once.

However, the number of bombarding from other groups across the wall is surprisingly low. Not only were there wolfmen, there were also ratmen and lizardmen among the enemies. In front of an enemy that they knew somewhere, it piled up with the fellow countrymen, mercy and the attacking hand was loose.
