Another Life

Bash had a view of the Old Town from above the castle gate in Nassau New Town.

Until not long ago, I toured the hegemony of the Oasis, and it was the days of inter-tribal battle, because I was feeling kind of weird, as if I were in some kind of dream, being here given some cause or even the last name and official position of the Ruthai Empire.

"Master Bash."

When Bash turned around, there was Cecily with the two samurai.

"What's up?

"That's what your husband wants me to do to get these two into the Nassau Guard."

Your palace took these two? Are you telling me to put it on my guard?

Okay, I'll arrange it here.

"Thank you. I'll sit down and let you go to your sister."

So Cecily bowed her head, and went to Cecil.

"Well, do you want to start by introducing yourself? I'm a raw pawn diner, Doctor Bash, and I haven't been able to hold the position yet, so bash is good."

"Thank you, Master Bash. My name is Nagato Sahei Asada and I belong to the Left Kingsfu Office. Please call me Saheiji.

This is also Left Kingsguard, Yamada Yuan Sansen, please call me Yuan San. "

That's why Saheiji was staring at Bash.

"Saheiji and Genzo... what's up? Is Lizardman unusual?

"Yes, no...... sorry, to be honest, yes.

There are also Lizardman races in the Luthai Empire, but all of them have dark skin and live by the sea, so I've never seen a Lizardman with a sandy colour like Master Bash. "

"Saheiji, black enough Lizardman is rare, too.

I'm a Lizard Man or a Sand Lizard Man, so I'm a common species in the desert, and for that reason my skin is white as sand and my scales are hard... so I don't have to have any armor. "

"Really? The world is huge."

"From what I've seen, it looks like this new downtown Nassau is still under construction. The moat is also wide using the river, but the bottom seems shallow..."

That's what Yuen San said worryingly.

"Yes, as Yuan San pointed out, this new downtown Nassau is still under construction, because we didn't have time for it at all.

But this Nassau, designed by your palace, will be a wonderful castle, with a trick to defeat the Imperial Army, even though it is incomplete.

First of all, as Yuan San pointed out, the river is used to moat, but the flow is slow and the bottom is shallow, the advantage is that the river width is just wide.

But at the bottom of the river, the master struck a pile of rope and sank the pot into the bottom of the river.

This will slow down the attack across the moat and cause great damage to the enemy. "

"I see, then the enemy will concentrate on those who attack the castle gate, but the bridge that leads to the castle gate is such that the walls of the new city are wrapped around it, which will also be heavily damaged by attacks from the sides as we proceed along the bridge.

Even if we break through the castle gate, it's a shaped tiger mouth behind us and we can deal with it. "

"I see, the place surrounded by the walls behind this is called the Shaped Tiger Mouth, the castle of the Ruthai Empire is really interesting.

But that's not all, the castle gates are ready to be exchanged, and there are spare castle gates for the lifting ceremony in front of the castle gates, just using this would be an iron wall to protect "

"But Nassau's southern defense is almost untouched and thin, and if the Imperial Army is attacked by second-hand break-ups, won't you sit down for a while?

"Yuansan, don't say anything painful... it certainly is, but your palace is on guard from above, with the help of the demon king Freya.

Wherever the Imperial Army hides and divides its armies, there's no place for them. "

"I see, you're saying that you can handle it from there in time enough.

The troops and the Imperial Ruthai Army are on the walls, and Nassau's army is separated from Tiger Mouth, and this is an easy formation to work with. "

That said, Yuansan was impressed, and Saheiji looked around wondering if so.

When Bash was explaining to Saheiji and the others, Elias came with a mysterious look on his face to the near left where he was doing a sun shade with Iris' knee pillow on the edge.

"... Son-in-law"

"This is my father-in-law!

That was how Elias took control of the left proximity in a hurry to get up.

"No, it's good as it is, couples are best friends. That's not what happened today... Actually, why don't you just keep hiring me in the crusade of my son-in-law?

"Is that still what you came for..."

"You knew?

"Yep... even if this plan succeeds, my father-in-law will not be able to return to the Empire.

Because if we're going to clear the stigma of our father-in-law, we have to clear our innocence by publicizing the relationship between the prime minister and the queen.

But if you do that, it will be the stain of the emperor today... if you are my father-in-law, who swears allegiance to the empire, you will dare to choose someone who will be stigmatized because that is not a good thing.

And my father-in-law can't do stupid things like kill himself because of Iris, and my father-in-law is one or other samurai, so I can only earn a living working in battle.

You'll want to live with us here on Iris's side rather than injustice, which I said could then be used for the Kingdom of Salz.

What do you say?

"Exactly, my son-in-law... so what's your response?

"Of course you're welcome, I want my father-in-law to become a swordsman and train the samurai not only of our Crusaders, but also of the Imperial Ruthai Army."

"Samurai too?

"Yes, they only have experience fighting within the Luthai Empire, so I think it would be a good experience if your father-in-law guided you"

"Well, I see. Let's take on that role... your hall"

This man is a disciplined man everywhere.

That's what I thought. The left-hand side was laying somewhere in Elias.

Early the next morning, 36,000 Imperial troops, led by General Manish and Viscount Medell under Prime Minister Emilio, appeared on the north side of Nassau.

"Viscount Medell, was Nassau such a city? Isn't there a new city?"

General Manish said to Viscount Medel, pointing to the new town, behind the old town of Nassau.

"Come on? Maybe it's because of that newcomer's near-left?

"Well, I don't like the Rumor of the Luthai, or I don't like the Luthai.

It depends on what's the legendary samurai that shot down the super empire, or the ship of the super empire was destroyed by the time we got to the Luthai Empire anyway!

"General Manish, as you may say, the Third Queen is a Luthai... oh? Isn't it the Luthai who's out there?

That being said, when General Manish saw the direction Viscount Medell pointed in, he saw a man in the armor of several samurai on the north side of Nassau colluding.

I didn't know you hadn't noticed this one yet, but it looks like an extra dump.

When General Manish gazed at it that way, one of them was what a traitor Elias Neumann of the Serenity Empire was.

"It's a traitor Elias!

General Manish's Viscount Medel, hearing the words, looked at the men and saw that Elias Neumann was there.

"No way?"

In contrast to Viscount Medell, who was surprised to say so by accident, General Manish overflowed his cheeks with laughter.

"Precisely convenient to kill the traitor Elias and the Samurai of the Ruthai Empire!

What are you talking about? That's a samurai in the unique armor of the Luthai Empire. If you attack that samurai, you will have declared war on the Luthai Empire.

No. That's all we have to do. We have to avoid it at all costs!

It was Viscount Medell who thought so, but it was already late. The decree of assault was relentlessly issued.

"Assault, no!

"Ooh!"

With General Manish's decree, the Imperial Army rushed through for Nassau in unison, and Elias and the others hurried into Nassau to realize it.

In that way Viscount Medell rushed up next to General Manish.

"General! I won't! You're going to fight the Ruthai Empire!

"What! Did the Viscount realize he was scared? It's okay, if we kill them all, this information won't leak!

"But sometimes I say just in case!

"Viscount Medell! If you're scared, do it later! Everyone's, we'll destroy them all at once!

No, this man is not seeing around at all.

Viscount Medell thought so and was worried about developments after this.

"You're doing well, Master Neumann."

"Oh, I thought Manish would eat me when he saw me."

"Do you know him?

"Oh, the guy who was single-celled and who was eyeing us, the Knights of the Holy Guide."

"Then you don't need any help."

"... right"

So Elias and the others ran their horses toward the new city of Nassau.

Viscount Medell in Nassau was feeling uncomfortable.

Despite the early morning raids, there are no residents left, Nassau being the city of rough bandits and mercenaries.

Normally, once the Imperial Army is in, there should be an attack, even sporadically, without it.

Did you know and evacuate the Imperial Army before, or was it a trap... for now, would you advise the General?

With that in mind, Viscount Medell went next to General Manish and spoke to him.

"General! It's weird that there are no people in the city! This could be a trap!

"A trap? So what's up? Even if it's a trap, there's nothing we can do about it! Perhaps with information from some bandits, the residents fled first."

"Such optimism..."

"If you realize you're scared, you lead your own troops, be vigilant about the trap and the mess, and keep an eye out around the city! They'll just drop us here!

"General!"

That is how General Manish swung off Viscount Medell's suppression and moved on.

What a short circuit!

With that in mind, Viscount Medell was outraged, but also that the inhabitants of Nassau, as General Manish said, had grabbed the information that the Imperial Army was approaching and fled, and as it were, all the manners would be taken by General Manish, which is why he went after General Manish.

When the Imperial Army followed the Elias who had fled, and proceeded to the back of Nassau, there appeared a wall that had never been seen separated by a moat.

"What is this?

Unexpectedly, General Manish was right, and the walls that he had never seen were in front of him, and the white sand-colored Lizardman, first seen above the castle gate, was wearing a red armor.

"Isn't that the Lizardman near the Luthaians who say it's definitely near left?

Viscount Medell remembered the Lizardman on the near left side in the battle of Fort Amr.

"What, Viscount, do you know that Lizardman?

"Yes, indeed... I will sit next to a mercenary troop leader who says his name is Bash and says something about the Left Near of the Luthai"

"Well, the Lizard Man who follows the Luthai... interesting, so the Luthai who says near left or something keeps the command here"

That was when General Manish was overflowing with uncomfortable laughter, when the bash of the castle gate spoke aloud.

"What the hell happens when I march here in Nassau, based in Nassau, a bash of pawn-eating doctors from the Blood League Crusaders Clan of Crusaders! Depending on the response, we'll have a fight, okay?

"... shoot him"

General Manish, who heard Bash, said quietly.

"General!"

"Let go of me!

Ignoring Viscount Medell, who hurriedly controls him, General Manish turned to Bash and made his soldiers under his command unleash arrows.

Countless bows and arrows poured down on the bash, but the bows and arrows were prevented by the demonic squares that appeared in front of the bash, and did not hit one on the bash.

"Damn it! That demon squad... kill them all, all of them!

General Manish was surprised by the sudden appearance of the first demon squares he saw, but he immediately regained his mind and issued a decree of assault.

"The Imperial Army, they attack without a name, they put it on the wind of a warrior."

Bash said with a little remorse as he returned.

"Ha... when the hell are you going to give it a name and start fighting?"

He came to Bash like an orchid had broken.

"Oh, really? It was normal in the western desert where I lived..."

"Dear Bash, I'm fine! It was cool to say it was out of date, to give it a grand name!

"Well, there's just something you can do to become a big meal doctor, you know how old-fashioned samurai are."

"Saheiji... Yuansan... Thanks. Let's show them your army."

'Ha!'

"This is it at all, so the samurai are creatures..."

And the orchid, which saw this hot and painful nori, shrugged after the bashes.

At General Manish's command, the Imperial Army headed toward the castle gate, coming from the narrow room where assault was carried out but empty in the castle wall, and the Imperial soldiers fell down and could not move forward as they thought, and the bridge leading to the castle gate was exactly like a hell of a painting.

"It's sad to be a soldier... an incompetent superior has to treat his life crudely. This equals dog death."

Seeing the sight shown on the monitor, sympathetic to the Imperial Soldier, the left and near muttered unexpectedly.

"Perhaps those soldiers will sit at the mercenaries gathered in Caingston, near Nariya, the Imperial capital, with different gear.

Doesn't your palace also hate the fact that miscellaneous soldiers are dying?

After Elias was to join the Crusades, he began to call the things near the left your hall, drawing a line.

"Meaningful death is still good because it's an honorable death, but this is just dog death... I want to make sense when I die, even if I'm a soldier"

"If you let him do it, how do you attack Nassau if he's near left?

"I would take measures to lure enemy soldiers out of here. This is only my theory, when attacking a castle or fort, it will only be more damaging if you can't force it, even if you win, you will not be spared the loss of your power in the next battle, choosing such a choice would be foolish."

"I see, that's just the guy we chose"

That's what Freya said, staring to the left.

"Why! How could you break through this place!

General Manish was yelling, frustrated on the horse.

"This must be a castle designed by the Luthaians, because there are no castles like this in our empire or in any other country.

But it's well thought out, by attacking through that wall hole, you can hit the attack from the other side, but not from this one.

And the moat is shallow, but it's wide and there's some work on the bottom, and if you proceed, you'll be dressed... this is a castle that was conceived inside. "

"Viscount, if you're impressed... if that's all you have to say, there's something you can do, right?

"Of course I will sit with you.

First of all, the Dwarf soldiers attacked with a broken castle gavel, and with the placement of soldiers with shields around, it seems that the castle gate can be let in during tearing.

The second proposal also attacks the army from the south side of Nassau, divided into two parts, this one in the meantime felling trees in the mountains, creating and attacking siege weapons.

What about this proposal?

"That's right, Viscount Medell, we decided to attack today with the first proposal, and if we can't, we'll move on to the second proposal tomorrow."

"That's right, General Manish, with your flexible thoughts."

"Uhm, let's try to form a Dwarf assault unit, and at the same time we'll begin our attack with man-made sea tactics across the moat!

It was with the decree of General Manish who said so that a simultaneous attack by the Imperial Army began.

"The Great Diet Doctor! The Imperial Army has moved in unison! It's a total attack!

"What? No!

In what I thought was an easy victory, reports came in that the Imperial Army had launched a total attack. Bash immediately checked from above the castle gate and calmly stared at the Imperial Army pushing like a tsunami.

That one, Dwarf comes in with a broken castle hammer... for the low height, then hide in the shield around and you can't hit this one's bow and arrow inside, will you put the Crusaders on standby?

Bash, who thought so, gave orders to the woman of the telecommuter.

"Stand by for the Crusaders at the tiger's mouth!

"Yes!"

Bash had a hunch that the momentum of the Imperial Army was very much like a tsunami, and it was difficult for a bow and arrow to hit a Dwarf Imperial soldier with a broken castle gavel, and he was eventually attached to the castle gate.

Furthermore, the attack across the moat with man-made sea tactics is acting like a body blow to a less powerful defense team, and there were not enough men to attack the Imperial soldiers at the Castle Gate, taking their hands from this moat.

"Master Bash! It's time to start an example operation!

He came to Bash to advise him in a hurry.

When he heard Cecily's words, Bash was desperately working his head off.

What would my father do at a time like this? If it's your house... do you want soldiers for the attack from the moat? No, remember the battle in the desert, getting the most out of a single attack, my father came all the way through a battle like that and I watched it too.

Besides, with this difference in force, you can't prevent it by putting out measures at once, so you can make your enemies feel scared. That will inevitably increase this morale and make it harder for your enemies to attack, because there's only one thing I can do here.

"Not yet! Bear with it somehow, believe in the will and pride of the samurai regiment of the Luthai Empire!

"Oh no, you're going up the walls like this! You could have won with such spirituality..."

"Lord Cecily! You're overmouthing me!

"Yuansan......"

"The Great Diet Doctor will be the captain of this Nassau Defense Corps, won't the Left Admiral make the Fool take command of this place, which is the essence of this operation?

"That's right..."

"Besides, if you look at the time when the battle moves, you will lose any great army. It is premature for the Daiichi Doctor to take action, and this must have been judged a stomping ground, so we can just risk our lives to follow."

"... OK, then I'm going to chill my head a little outside."

So Cecily went out unhappy.

"... Dear Bash, my sister... I'm sorry about something"

"Good Lord Cecil, this situation makes everyone anxious, and more important than that is to endure from the Imperial soldiers who come across the moat."

"... right"

So Bash and the others were looking out.

And it came to pass at that time, that the gate of the castle made a loud noise, and was broken with a broken hammer.

"We've broken through the castle gate!

The Imperial soldiers arrived at the scene before us, but the Imperial soldiers who went inside were stunned.

As he entered through the small castle gate, it was a space surrounded by large walls, because on his right there was a castle gate larger and more splendid than the first one.

Not good!

A voice filled with anger rang from the top of the walls to what could be described as the fury of Mardi, when everyone in the Imperial Soldier thought so.

"Let go!"

Using the ringtone as a signal, the Imperial soldier entering the shaped tiger mouth was to be exposed to bow and arrow attacks from all directions.

And Bash, who was at the castle gate at the same time as the attack, gave the order.

"The time has come, drop the oil!

At the same time as that bash's hanging, it was dropped from the first castle gate towards the Imperial Soldier, where there was a great deal of oil underneath.

"Hey, what's this?

"Oh, hey, this is oil!

"... No way, guys, run!

It was already too late when the Imperial soldier who was about to dive through the castle gate realized that Cecil had unleashed the magic of a firewall from above the castle gate.

Beneath the castle gate is torched by scattered oil, and one imperial soldier after another is left on fire, and falls.

And at the same time, Cecily unleashed the magic of absolute zero degrees (Absolute Zero) toward the moat water.

Cecily's magic caused the water in the moat to freeze all at once, and because of obstacles at the bottom of the moat's water and bows and arrows from the walls, the moat's water was magically iced and unable to move where the march was slowing.

The damage caused by the Imperial Army became immense: in the castle gate, the flames ignited by oil, and in the moat, the soldiers whose legs were iced by ice, one after the other, went to feed the bows and arrows of the bashes.

I can't wait to return at the earliest.

The captain of the Imperial Army, who entered the tiger's mouth thinking so, gave an order.

"Everybody, form a circle and defend with a shield!

The Imperial soldier who entered the tiger's mouth was like a tortoise with a shield in a circle, as the captain commanded.

Bash, who was watching the sight, moved on to the next measure, admiring him not to do it inside.

"Drop the hanging gate!

And it came to pass, with the decree, that an iron gate came down upon the outside of the broken gate, and stood before it, crushing the Imperial soldiers whose bodies were lit with fire.

A further tragedy will strike an intrusive force that has become completely isolated.

The second castle gate opened quietly in front of the entry unit, defended by a shield like a tortoise, where there was a horse riding squad led by Iris.

"Assault!"

"Ooh!"

The bow and arrow attacks stopped with Iris' decree, and the Crusaders' horseback squads were simultaneously attacked by penetrating troops.

Iris and his horses penetrated relentlessly into the infiltration unit, which was hardened with a shield like the tortoise's armor, and some were trampled and crushed by horses, and some were blown up by horses, and the infiltration unit's circle collapsed without difficulty.

"Shit! This can't stop happening!

The captain, whose circle had been broken by the overwhelming advance of the horseback riding squad, shouted with regret, but he could not do anything about it at the earliest.

A shadow with one or two swords flew over the captain's head under such despair.

When the captain noticed the quiet killing, and looked back, it was already late in the day that Iris' sword had been pierced from above in the captain's chest.

Seeing such a skewered captain, all the soldiers in the penetration unit abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Bash, who saw such a tiger's mouth, gave the next order.

"The prisoners are taken by the Horse Riders! Digestion of the castle gate. Hurry! Kuhei is the restoration of the castle gate! Bodies are good later! Hurry up, it's time to fight!

At the same time, Tiger Mouth moved out in a hurry.

Mercenaries digest the fire at the first castle gate and extinguish the fire, followed by the removal of the broken castle gate by Kuheida and the installation of a new replacement castle gate.

In the meantime, the Horse Riders put together their captives, took them to the new downtown Nassau and disarmed them, a stream that was a gift they had been practicing for the days leading up to the arrival of the Imperial Army.

Moreover, the speed at which the first castle gate was replaced was due to its simplicity and ease.

"Master Bash! Restoration of the castle gate is complete!

"All right, lift the hanging gate!

By order of Bash, a castle gate appeared in the state before the hanging gate slowly rose and destroyed before the Imperial soldiers.

It was at once silence and despair that spread to the imperial soldiers who saw the sight.

That was supposed to happen, too, because if I thought I had made so many sacrifices and attacked and broken through, it would have gone back to normal.

This is how people are lifted and dropped is the most mentally tight thing, Bash was after this phenomenon.

And the effect appeared in the best way, and the thought that this Nassau could not be dropped in the hearts of the soldiers, although not in the mouths of everyone, spread quietly like waves.

General Manish, who felt it, immediately gave the order to withdraw, and decided to stay in the old town and rethink it.

"Viscount, I must change my mind, as I said, I will proceed to the second proposal.

Early tomorrow morning, you make a detour, attack from the south side of Nassau, and the eagle will make a siege weapon in the meantime... right. How about a week's total attack?

"It seems like a week would be enough.

But the opponent will sit with the incompetent Luthai Empire and mercenaries, there may be a nocturnal morning run.

I think you should be very careful. "

"Sure, I can tell you that... then let's just say that after searching this downtown, we'll be on guard against that abominable fortress and attacks from the outside"

"I'll sit down, I think that's a good idea."

"Um, so I'll do the search and the vigilance here, so they can rest their bodies within the moment."

"Thank you for your patience, and let General Manish stay alert."

"Uhm."

That said, when they entered the proper house, Viscount Medell rested his soldiers, and General Manish placed soldiers for the search for the Old Town and for perimeter vigilance.
