In the early morning of the next day, the party ended.
In one room of the castle in the fort city, the air was gloomy.
「……」
This aura was given off by none other than Karen, who had her arms crossed with wrinkles forming on her brow.
「……?」
Are you angry Karen? Or are you tired?
Kazuya thinks hard; he doesn’t understand why Karen is so angry.
「……」
For husband……often……kill.
Chitose, who seemed to have heard about last nights affairs; glared at Karen. Her hand was on her holster as if she would suddenly draw her Beretta M92 and kill Karen.
「……」
What’s with this atmosphere!?
On top of this, Maria seems to also be confused about what is going on.
「「「「……」」」」
Ah….I want to leave….
Kazuya desperately wanted to rush out the room.
Their original purpose for meeting had been forgotten, they were supposed to discuss how to deal with the Imperial Army.
「…well….so…」
一It was when Maria opened her mouth to try and dissolve the atmosphere.
–DOGANNN!!
A loud explosive sound accompanied by a shockwave shocked the whole fort city.
The window to the room that Kazuya and the group were in was completely destroyed and because of the rumbling, dust was falling from the ceiling.
「Damn!! What the heck was that!?」
「What happened!?」
Kazuya was also shaken by the sudden event.
Everyone rushed onto the terrace, where you can get a bird eyes view of the fort city; to confirm what had happened.
The view they saw was beyond even Kazuya’s imagination.
「….this can’t be true…there were many layers of magical barriers inscribed on the walls and gate…but now….」
The third wall had a massive open crater in it.
…surprisingly….it seems as if a large bomb has exploded….
Kazuya was stunned by the events, only brought about due to Karen’s mumbling. He immediately tried to contact the 4th squad positioned on the gate of the third wall.
「4th squad report!! Sergeant Funasaka can you hear me!? Please report!!」
『Cough~ this is the 4th squad’s Sergeant Funasaka. I’m safe somehow…』
「Your situation!?」
『Well….we took alot of casualties, but combat is still possible』
「Master! That!!」
As Kazuya finished radio contact with the Sergeant, Chitose pointed to the other side of the south gate.
「What is it–?」
When Kazuya said so, a girl dressed in a white robe stepped forward from the enemies camp.
「⚌ ⚍ ⚎ ⚏⚌ ⚍ ⚎ ⚏――」(TLN: She actually says some words, but it’s in Hiragana and I think it might be weird so I’ll use these characters for magic instead)
The girl stepped forward, carrying a staff bigger than herself; casting some type of spell.
「――⚌ ⚍ ⚎ ⚏!!」
At the same time as the incantation ended, the girl slammed her staff to the ground.
A great deal of magic circles appeared around the girl, various demons such as goblins, lizard men etc… appeared from within.
When the girl who summoned the demons points to the fort city, the demons give a loud roar as the simultaneously moved forwards.
『『『UOOOOOO!!!!』』』
After confirming that the demons are heading towards the fort city, the girl retreats back inside the camp.
After that, the Imperial Troops also began to march towards the city.
Kazuya was considering his options, he was considering breaking through the concentrated forces and aiming for the enemies headquarters.
This is bad….
「4th squad!! Retreat to the second wall immediately!!」
『Captain General…..evacuation is impossible….please give up on us…please….』
「What are you saying!? Don’t give up!! If you don’t come here right now, I’ll come and get you myself!! Wait there and don’t die!!」
Kazuya cut off correspondence with the Sergeant.
