They invaded the Isoru Kingdom with high spirits, but a massive fortress that didn’t exist in the past blocked their way.
It was the fortress which Daymond forced the residents of Isoru Kingdom to make!
Reaching 30 meters in height, there were Archers arranged on the fort walls. The fortress was blessed by nature, as it was blocked by a penetrating gorge in the center of a mountainous terrain.
“Let’s bypass the fort.”
“No. If we bypass it and go around, it’d take too long.”
“There’s no reason to avoid it since we’re dragging along this many troops.”
Although the users that participated as mercenaries wanted to avoid it, the nobles and lords had different thoughts.
‘There is no way that an improvised fort has sturdy defences.’
‘They were probably scared of us. So for their own defense, they built such a big fortress.’
Generally, building a fortress required immense amounts of labor and money. That was because, even if it became the key point of fierce siege warfare, repairing the walls or maintaining the fortifications was difficult.
‘So that they built a large fortress is evidence that they are frightened of us?’
If Daymond’s army was confident of victory, they wouldn’t have even thought to create a fortress. The troops could only think along the lines of common sense.
“We must go in through the front.”
“For our righteous Expeditionary Force’s march, God will bless us.”
It was the General Assembly Chairman of the Expeditionary Force.
The Priests and representatives of every church, who were the army’s lead participating users, spoke what was obvious in their minds.
Truthfully, even the Expeditionary Forces behind them were quickly organizing themselves to follow. Since many had taken their armies from areas far away from the Isoru Kingdom to join the Expeditionary Force, they wanted to hurry. In consideration of the opinions of the lords and nobles, they decided to wage siege warfare on the fortress.
“Make a path.”
“Stock up on enough arrows and prepare to install a ladder. How far are you digging the underground tunnel?
The Expeditionary Force set up their positions, and they made thorough preparations to wage siege warfare. Though they didn’t doubt victory, their wariness of the Resurrection army that had seized Isoru Kingdom hadn’t disappeared either.
They were a valuable force that lead NPC soldiers as well. They didn’t want to lose soldiers they had laboriously trained through military exercises in this place. The stone fortress was very tall and looked thick, and it didn’t seem like it would be easy to penetrate it with normal methods.
As the Magicians buffed them and they made orderly war preparations. Time flew by until it night came, the dawn of the last day of the month, when the monsters became the most powerful!
The Resurrection Army that Daymond led made a surprise attack on the Expeditionary Force.
The giga-Demonic Spirits burst out, destroying the fortress gates.
Stomp — Stomp — Stomp!
Each step the Demonic Spirits took created a great quake.
The forces that were resting in the barracks immediately rose to their feet.
“It’s the enemy!”
“I never thought that they would launch a surprise attack!”
Perplexed looks were on the faces of lords who came leading many soldiers.
The sieges they’d experienced commonly started in the morning and ended in the evening. Late-night surprise attacks that would occur in real wars did not happen often.
Since it was favorable to simply keep watch inside the fortress. There was absolutely no reason to overexert themselves. Even if they tried to attack at night, since they knew it was dangerous, the fault of the users who weren’t there to participate in the charge was big.
