Chapter 1537

After a while—
Xia Hou gave solemn instructions to put the body in the coffin and deliver it to the family.

Accidentally looked in the direction of the main entrance.

Can't see the Imperial Army because it's closed.

"...The bombardment has stopped."

he muttered.

The chief of staff turned his head and said, "Finally you've run out of ammunition, right?"

"No, it will start again soon. After the battle, it started firing right away, so it just stopped now. Maybe it's because we know we're praying silently."

"Huh!? No, that... is indeed..."

The general was attacked, and the horse carrying the body ran back.It is a natural procedure in religion to pray silently after that.

It's just that, when the front door is closed and you can't see the inside, can you know so much about the enemy on the opposite side?

"As far as I know, General Ajie has nothing to do with such interests. If so, is it an order from the fourth princess who will become the new commander..."

"Indeed, it looks like something that the imperial family who like rituals will pay attention to."

"The 14-year-old girl is actually a commander or something. Although I have thought about it...but maybe she is surprisingly good at fighting. But if that's the case...what's the purpose of this unreachable shelling?"

"As expected, they are waiting for us to run out anxiously like Yijie, aren't they?"

"Maybe that's the case. It is strictly forbidden to attack without an order. I will also inform the other troops again."

"Obey!"

The Chief of Staff responded with a salute.

The seventh day of the battle.

Just at noon, the chief of staff came to report.

"The reinforcements from Tedu are scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. This way, we will be able to repel the enemy."

"Well"

It only takes two days to go from the capital to the fortress by simply moving the army, but several days have passed since the enemy appeared.I also had the thought that it was too slow.

"Also, although there were no wounded, there were indeed many soldiers complaining that they could not sleep due to the sound of shelling, and there was a queue in front of the infirmary."

"Do as much as possible"

"Yes! Recently, some soldiers have also experienced the illusion that there is always sound, not just the sound of shelling."

"Is there a sound all the time?"

The Chief of Staff nodded.

Xia Hou tilted his head and said, "I didn't feel it at all... Did many people hear it?"

"Several of the soldiers staying on the first floor seemed to have heard it. Maybe it was because of the heavy vibration from the shelling."

"When you're on patrol, you'll feel the shaking more when you're in a high place."

Always feel unrelieved.

Too few troops for a fortress strategy.

And it seemed that the enemy didn't even intend to ask for reinforcements.

Even if you can't hit it, you still continue to bombard without interruption.

Food and wooden boxes of unknown purpose.Large tent.

Perhaps, the cavalry who disappeared in the barbarian forest may not be unrelated.

Also, what the soldiers on the first floor said could be heard outside of the shelling.

sound.

Xia Hou stared at his feet.

"……Could it be that"

"What's wrong?"

"Chief of Staff, gather the soldiers. Then give the underground of the armory to—"

An extraordinarily huge shaking hit the Snow Country Fortress.

Several staff members were unable to stand still and landed on their knees.

Xia Hou rushed out.

"Assemble soldiers! Underground! The enemy must be coming from the armory!"

"General!"

None of the staff could understand the meaning of these words immediately.

Climb down countless slopes and stairs from the meeting room about 44 meters high.

On the way, the field of vision was covered by white smoke.

It smells like gunpowder.

The sound of sword strikes.

And the cry of a soldier.

"It's the enemy!"

Xia Hou realized that the Snow Country Fortress had been invaded by the imperial army.

They come from underground.
