Chapter 48: The Battle of Iron Wing Fort (Part II)

The first day of the siege was over, and the royalist army was unable to take the enemy's strongholds.

Of course, not many people are frustrated by this. For the rock-solid defense of the Iron Wing Fort, they had long been fully mentally prepared.

However, as the next day passed. The atmosphere in the barracks began to grow subtly agitated.

It's not that there is no progress, in fact, the defense facilities of the Iron Wing Fort have been seriously damaged, and if the progress continues, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

But for Isabella, what was unacceptable was the loss of troops. For the Princess, Ironwing was not her last stop, and after that there was Randall, as well as most of the southern territories and even the Holy Cult.

Therefore, it is very unwise to fight with the Duke of Arman here for damage.

So it was the third day......

The horn of the charge still sounded, announcing the official start of the third round of the brutal Iron Wing Fort offensive and defensive battle.

However, unlike before, the Duke of Arman noticed the appearance of a new siege tower directly behind the enemy army.

No, it's more like something else than a siege tower—delicate and gorgeous, and if anything, it's more like a stage for celebration.

On top of it stood three men—Duke Brown, Kalian, and Leah.

"So, what the hell are you up to?"

The old duke frowned dissatisfiedly, he was here to protect Leah according to the princess's orders, but what he couldn't figure out was, what exactly did little Lori plan to do?

"Well...... If I had to say, I'm going to unleash a strategic magic. ”

Leah didn't know how to interpret the chant. I had to say so.

"Strategic magic?"

Strategic magic refers to large-scale magic that can change the situation on the battlefield at once, such as Lori's Dimensional Storm or Meteor Shower, which Brown's mage team excels at. Both of these are useful for small battlefields. But for Ironwing, killing a hundred or so people in one go by consuming a lot of mental power is like dripping ink into a lake. It doesn't work at all.

"Well...... Just watch, Father. Leah's singing voice is capable of evoking true miracles. ”

Karen said confidently that in addition to the azure praise that could break through chaos, she had also witnessed the miracle song of Leah and Eve's creation.

"Wait, you are singing!?"

Then the poor old duke was even more confused, he had heard of strategic magic, but he had not heard of strategic magic that was performed by singing.

"Uh......h Anyway, I'm going to get started!"

Looking at the two arguing around her in distress, Leah decided to ignore it.

She took a deep breath. With his lips lightly opened, he sang the language of the gods, weaving a melody that awakened the miracle.

In an instant, the battlefield seemed to be quiet, the sound of artillery fire, the sound of fighting, and the sound of sorrow all disappeared, leaving only soft songs. and the melody of hope.

Although Leah thinks that singing on the battlefield is a shameful play, in fact, no one would have such thoughts when they hear it.

A sweet and clear voice permeated the hearts of the warriors. It inspires them, soothes the fear of the battlefield, and awakens hope in their hearts. Give them unlimited power.

For the enemy, however, it was a very different feeling.

"Nasty Singing ......"

Duke Arman frowned. It's as if rejected by the whole world. The song built walls in their hearts, not only did they not allow them to reach out to victory and hope. It aroused even more confusion in the heart—are we really on the right path?

It's the same song, the same melody, but it brings completely different results. This is the proof that Lori's will is conveyed by singing.

The chant awakens the morale of the attackers, but greatly weakens the fighting spirit of the enemy.

[Something must be done!]

Realizing that the soldiers were beginning to be confused, Duke Arman raised the Blade of Dawn in his hand. Several of the enemy's siege towers were already in sight, and if they were to be destroyed with a beautiful blow, they would surely save the warriors' lost mood, he thought......

"I see, is this what you call strategic magic?

On the other hand, the old duke did not hesitate to praise the language of his own praise. On the battlefield, morale is a very important factor, and if this song can affect the morale of the enemy and the enemy, then it is definitely well deserved to be called strategic magic.

"It's not that simple, look, this is Leah's true power!"

Karen shook her head.

On the walls of the Iron Wing Fort, the Duke had already raised the sword in his hand, and with the concentration of fighting energy, Catlavad emitted a brilliant light.

"Eyesore, disappear!"

The Duke struck a fatal blow at the nearest tower.

However, at the same time, with the other party's movements, Little Lori's singing began to become exciting.

[Spread your wings, Nilfi!]

The wings spread out, rolling up the azure wind, which was an immortal barrier, gently guarding every warrior.

"What-!?"

The blazing light was blocked by the blue wind, and the tower was unscathed by Catalavad's onslaught, and Duke Arman's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what was happening before him!

The same shock played out on the other side, and Old Man Brown could not think of any words to describe the scene before him - strategic magic? no, it was something more mysterious than magic, and if anything, it was probably some kind of miracle that should be called a divine blessing.

An azure shield enveloped every soldier, shielding them from all possible damage. At this moment, this is their invincible warrior, an army of immortals.

“......”

The battle-hardened Duke of Arman became overwhelmed, and the weather-beaten soldier was utterly speechless in the face of the azure miracle, leaving his soldiers to panic and crumble.

It's impossible to launch a strong attack to take the head of the singer directly? Impossible, the enemy's military strength is already several times that of your own, and if you abandon the castle's defense and attack directly, you will die faster.

Attack that tower with siege weapons?no, the range of the chant is even greater than normal strategic magic, and it is outside the effective range of trebuchets and artillery.

It was impossible to launch the Dawning Blade with all his fighting energy, just like the previous method, even if it was enough to hit the high platform, the two people around Leah would block it, and he understood that Duke Brown and Karen were standing there to prevent this from happening.

"Give the order to go down - give up the castle...... We retreat ......"

After exhausting all possible means, in the end, he chose the most reluctant and the only way - to escape.

On November 7, 929 in the Randall calendar, the princess and others, with the help of the Holy Song, captured the supposedly impregnable Iron Wing Fort in only three days, and took a new step in the direction of Randall City. (To be continued......)
