Chapter 519: Sherwood’s Fall 1
“Commander, despite the counterattacks, the enemy is still trying to proceed!”
After hearing the lieutenant’s report, Count Darland nodded his head as if he guessed it.
Just as he had expected, the enemy was on a massive scale siege tonight.
“What about the situation?”
“Although a few of the enemy Gigant’s went close to the walls of the southern side, the ambush Gigants stepped in and took care of them.”
“And the shelling? Did we take in much damage?”
“We haven’t suffered much damage yet. It was all thanks to your advice to increase the defense of the turret.”
As a satisfactory report was given, Darland’s mouth ford a smile.
‘Huuhu, it is going well. Those Symphonia n, I’ll turn them into ghosts.’
While Darland was down thinking like that, flas roared inside the walls and screams ca along with the sound of things being smashed and destroyed.
He was shocked to see the view outside the window when he saw the commotion.
“What is with all that?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe the enemy shells fell in…”
At the response of his ignorant lieutenant, Darland raised his voice after hitting his desk with clenched fists.
“Don’t give unsure answers. Check what is going on and give a clear answer!”
“Yes, Sire!”
His lieutenant, who got scolded, hastily sent a ssenger to bring him the cause of the situation outside.
As they wait, the city was getting ssier as ti went on. Count Darland, who was still looking at the situation through his window, was turning anxious.
‘This isn’t good. Sothing must have happened!’
He was hoping that the uneasy gut feeling of his would turn false.
By the ti things were happening in the city, Viscount Bodley, the captain of the Gigant units, was supposed to fight along with his n and other riders.
He only sent out his n and didn’t go to the riverside himself.
He didn’t want to have a small fight with the enemy infantry, and he didn’t want to follow the command of his commander.
“Now now, drink! Drink!”
“Captain, is this really okay?”
When one of his mbers asked with a worried expression, Bodley frowned.
“Is this okay? Do you see any problem here?”
“It was clearly the commander’s orders to organize a great deal of n to ambush the enemy. However, if it gets known that you drank during a mission…”
“So what? I am only drinking to celebrate our victory in advance!”
“Captain!”
Clink!
At the response of his n, Bodley smashed the glass that was in his hand and shouted as loud as he could.
“So what, I ask?! Get lost, even if it’s not us, the competent commander will defend the place and produce wonderful results with just his artillery units! In the end, we are just a burden! Ugh!”
Bodley, who was already drunk, let out his pent up feelings and frustrations.
Several mbers of the group, including the senior riders, nodded as if they agreed with the man.
It wasn’t comprehensible for them, a Gigant unit, which was considered as the flowers of a battle were being treated so lowly, even if the man was the commander himself.
“Damn it, we are the last card to use if the gates are breached? In this situation, do you really think that the gates would be breached? Does the enemy even have a chance to enter the manor?!”
Thud! Bang!
Right when Bodley was complaining. The entire ground shook with heavy sounds. The captain and the mbers of the squad were shocked.
“Captain, is this…?”
“Huh, what is this? It is just a shell that missed its target and fell into the walls.”
“But doesn’t the power seem a bit unusual?”
Despite his n’s words, Bodley continued to drink.
However, just then, a ssenger rushed inside the barroom and reported, “We have trouble! The enemy Gigants have entered the city!”
“W-what?!”
Bodley was so shocked at the information that he fell back along with his chair.
He could barely move his drunk body. Grabbing the ssenger, he asked, “What and how did this happen? How did the enemy even find a way to infiltrate the city with their Gigants?”
“I-I don’t know. Anyway, this isn’t the ti for that. They are igniting fires and burning down the food in the warehouses, the gunpowder bins, and are smashing all the military buildings.”
The previous explosion was the sound that ca due to the gunpowder house being blasted.
Bodley, who was now sober upon hearing the unexpected news, turned to the ssenger.
“Does the commander know about this?”
“I am not sure. He must have already received the report. He might lead the support forces and block them, so hurry up and take down the enemy Gigants.”
‘Holy sh*t! What kind of situation is this?!’
The enemy Gigant appeared in a place that no one thought could get into!
The voice of his n was filling the ears of Bodley, who couldn’t get his head around the absurd situation.
“Captain, your orders please…!”
“The normal knights and soldiers will never be able to stop those raging Gigants!”
There was a law in a war.
A Gigant should be used to stop a Gigant.
That was why the Gigant riders were rated to be above the knights, and their pride in the matter of using the Gigants was exceptional.
“D-dispatch the n! Go all out and destroy those rebels!”
Upon hearing Bodley’s orders, the riders imdiately ran to their Gigants.
Staggering with his hazy drunk body, Bodley rose and entered his Knight class Gigant.
‘Damn it, how did this even happen?!’
The concern his commander had, turned into a reality.
Bodley’s crumpled face wasn’t easily relieved as he knew that the situation was only going to get more horrible.
