The currently troubled Hamilton Castle is located north of the capital, Bright City.

Since ancient times, it has been a "wall" to protect the kingdom.

This Hamilton Castle is a fortified city that surrounds the entire town with walls, and about a third of the inhabitants of the territory live there.

Within this city wall, there is a large parade ground, a large grain warehouse, and a huge market where people from all over the country gather.

Elesia, who is also Minister of War, currently rules the Hamilton region.

Her family has served the king for a long time since the founding of the country and is one of the four royal nobles.

The realm was much larger than other noble realms, and the budget and size were huge.

However, there is also a reason, most of this Hamilton territory borders the border of the Dark Empire, and it is also a piece that must always be vigilant against the invasion of the Dark Empire

So you can be alone without the support of the royal family.

This was because they were able to exercise rights that would normally not be exercised without the king's permission, such as the right to command a local royal garrison, the right to have a private army, and the right to build defenses.

However, as of now, this Hamilton territory has fallen into a state where even the area around Hamilton Castle cannot be dealt with by exercising its rights.

The reason is that even if it was invaded by the Dark Empire at the beginning, it was more than enough to play its original role, but something unexpected happened on the way.

The Dark Empire has also invaded and provoked many times in the past, but it has often been carried out like a "regular army" against Hamilton's territory.

The Dark Empire's invasion began in the west in the city of Bilks.

And not very important enemies.

Even if it was invaded, it could resist, but in the middle of this, the invasion of the east and south began.

The support of the royal capital was scattered, and it was impossible to send effective reinforcements.

At first, they put up stubborn resistance everywhere, but could not stand the violence of the Dark Empire's numbers, and were finally invaded into their territory.

"Damn! If we continue like this, we're finished! ……”

Commander Elesia tries to appease the impatient Eliza, whose family is also a well-known nobleman who has existed since the founding of the country.

The two had a good relationship since childhood, and were mistaken for sisters by other nobles.

Elethea has shoulder-length blue semi-long hair that is just the right amount and looks neat overall.

Eliza, on the other hand, has black hair tied into a ponytail, her breasts are larger than Elisia's, and her clothes are beautiful.

It's about to explode at any moment.

"Well, what's going on now?"

"Ugh! The total combat strength in this castle is now about 10,000 people, and there are about 40,000 soldiers of the Dark Empire alone, and with the main force behind them, I am afraid it will exceed 100,000......"

"What then?"

"At the moment, we are organizing a local defense force through the merchants' guilds, but I think the maximum is two thousand. If this continues, Hamilton Castle itself may disappear......"

"According to the intelligence, there seems to be a strong man next to Her Majesty Queen Melia, who is said to be the chosen one."

"Although I am sorry for Your Majesty, even if such a person arrives, this situation will not change."

Further north of Hamilton, near the border between the kingdom and the Dark Empire, the main force of the Dark Empire army was encamped, with two women in a tent in the center.

"How's the enemy?"

"Hmmm! According to the scouts, there were about 10,000 enemies in the castle, taking a posture of total resistance. ”

"Hmph, it feels good! Let's crush this place and start invading the royal capital...... Hey. ”

"Don't be careless."

"Don't worry, I know...... Yes, when we occupy this place, I will give you this castle, what do you think? That's a great idea, isn't it? ”

"Thank you then"

As the two spoke.

"Excuse me!"

At this moment, a messenger ran in, and she was covered in blood, or somewhere, she was wounded, and she was covered in blood.

"What's going on!"

"We have found an army that seems to have been reinforced north from the enemy capital! The main forces are expected to arrive in two days! ”

The messenger said in alarm.

"What's wrong with you other scouts!"

"Unfortunately, when I heard this sudden noise, everyone fell to the ground, blood flowed, and everyone but me was wiped out."

After a brief silence.

"Well, well, is there anything else?"

"The enemy commander is likely to be the Queen."

"It's hard work, organize another reconnaissance team, scout it."

After bowing deeply, the messenger left the tent early.

"Riley, it seems that there must be someone powerful on the other side...... Find him and capture him alive, and our dark empire will be safe. ”

"You're right."

The two are conspiring.

At Hamilton Castle, where the soldiers were currently erecting trenches and fences in front of the castle gates and throughout the city, and building positions in the direction of the siege, Eliza and Elesia were worried about food in the castle's office.

"If this stalemate continues, the supply of the royal capital will be reduced, and our food may not be enough."

"I'm also trying to buy food on the return trip, but it's not going well......"

"By the way, who is commanding the reinforcements this time?"

"It's all old acquaintances, and there are ......"

Toot toot toot!

At this time, I heard the hooves of horses in the distance!

"The enemy is attacking! Close the gates! ”

From below, the voice of the captain of the guard, who commanded the castle to prepare for the attack, was heard.

"Urgently recruiting volunteers! Everyone, take up arms! ”

"Archers, get ready to shoot!"

Orders from various departments flew in, and tension hung over the castle.

"It would be nice if we could get some reinforcements in time, but I don't know if we'll really make it to that point."

"We'll follow my sister to the end, so let's wait until the end."

In less than an hour, the enemy reached the front of the castle.

As soon as the enemy entered the range of the castle's arrows, they began to shoot arrows, and this attack killed and wounded a certain number of Dark Empire soldiers, but the momentum of the advance did not stop.

Dark Empire soldiers arrive at the castle trenches, and enemy archers open fire.

Some Dark Empire soldiers slowly walked towards the castle gates, using battering rams.

Over time, the archers of the kingdom began to withdraw from the battlefield, and when the number of attacks on the walls decreased, the gates began to be destroyed.

The Dark Empire soldiers gathered at full speed at the gate of the castle, and under the impetus of that force, the city gate was finally destroyed, and hand-to-hand combat began to take place on the city gate, and the outnumbered garrison and the miscellaneous volunteer army began to gradually overwhelm the larger number of Dark Empire soldiers, and soon the garrison began to retreat.

"Retreat! Evacuate to the castle! I'm here to buy time, let's go! ”

"I can't leave the platoon commander alone, I'll stay here too!"

"What for! You've got a home! Let's go! I don't have anyone to love anymore! ”

"What is this sound......

Toot toot toot

When a deafening sound came from nowhere, the soldiers of the Dark Empire in front of them fell one after another!

Some of their arms were blown off, some of their shoulders were blown off, and some of their legs were blown off!

When the sound stops, it's "hell".

A little earlier, in the conference room of the Castle of Light, they held a meeting about reinforcing Hamilton.

Queen Melia, Serena, Hera and others participated in the strategy meeting.

As he sat down, the head of Army Intelligence said with a nervous expression.

"Well, the ...... of the intelligence services Whew, I'll report it. ”

"Currently, Hamilton Castle is being invaded from the north by forty thousand Dark Empire troops."

"10,000 plus the 2,000 volunteers led by the branch president of the merchant guild, a total of 12,000 people, our side is outnumbered."

"The gap now is in terms of people."

"How do you need reinforcements?"

"Hah! Let me tell you. ”

Then Wales, who was sitting next to him, stood up, and he forgot what the minister was.
