The Sended's

Chapter 81: He Travel The Fastest Who Travel Alone

.

I heard that Edelfield had a simple and orderly system of government, they were the first countries to appear on the island and were thought to be the last as well by others including us Hohenzollern

But the reality is not always in line with estimates, no one even thought that if there would be a third party who emerged really from the lowest caste achieved a total victory over the island.

"If they're that weak, why are we the only ones thinking about taking over the island?" Ask Hans

"Not but we are the first to dare to do so,"

Who quickly he can, this sentence is one of the articles in the law of the jungle.

The position of the ship was aligned to get an effective landing, we would pass through the tower and land directly in the port of Edelfield as traders usually do

I heard that the tower might be occupied by dozens of archer soldiers so we had to hold them while moving.

We all advanced, a hundred ships and 17,000 soldiers preparing to land. But this ignorance makes me feel bad

What will the enemy do?

Where're they?

How many are they?

"Look like the enemy knows we're coming,"

We saw that the enemy had ships blocking the entrance to the port of Edelfield, on top of which there were hundreds to thousands of soldiers on standby with all their weapons, most of them Hohenzollern weapons

Huh, you thief country... Edelfield bought it from us and they disarmed him and used it against us.

The ships did cover our entire entrance, but only one line. It was a thin line we could hit and pass easily

"We hit,"

But it is not that easy, from there flying rocks the size of a human that is only a few that hit us, but again because it is a stone then the impact caused is very large to our ship

One stone could instantly send us to the bottom of the ocean

"Maneuver! Avoid those stones while speeding to Edelfield!" My exclaim

My orders reached all the ships quickly because of the magic tool that delivered them directly, it was a very useful tool really. They began to avoid the rocks that flew towards them

But not everything went well, some ships hit each other trying to avoid rocks. This ship of mine or Hans's because my ship was sunk before.

When the ship beside us dodges to the right, we will collide with each other if our ship does not move to the right as well

"Be careful around you!"

Despite all the difficulties, we have almost reached the ranks of enemy ships that have been prepared as well. But they were not preparing for the collision, they were preparing to shoot arrows

They can fall easily...

Whatever, maybe they want to die.

That's what I said before.

.

So here's the plan...

"Sister Ryuu... Do we really have to teleport ourselves without waiting for Kak Maou's tool to be completed?"

I teleported here with Yuuna, although Kyouka suggested to go with Ruby's fleet using the Maou's connecting gate but I still did this

"Descend to hell or ascend to the throne, he who moves most quickly, moves alone,"

"Down to... huh?"

"There's still a lot of things I need to prepare here, so we'd better get here sooner,"

First of all I want to see Edelfield, the place where the enemy is a hundred percent going to land

How do I know that? Unless they want to land on the reef then there is no better landing spot than Edelfield...

Which is a problem....

Huh.. I think we're short on people here.

I've gathered all the soldiers on this island from Edelfield, Ruby, Laden, and the guards in the small village, but they're no more than 2,000 in total

That's natural because our entire fighting force is being focused on the East, but well..... against 40,000 people with 2,000 sounds really stupid right?

In the Old World, the battle at sea was the most brutal battle since more soldiers died than on land. That's because they can't back off, though, and either the severely injured or the lightly injured or even the ones that are not scratched at all will die if their ship sinks and nothing pulls them from the sea

But here we do not have this weakness, now I just need to think how the enemy can not land one of their soldiers to this island?

For that I have to thank Maou for her hard work, why? Let's go through Edelfield's twin tower surgery once again.

Under each tower is now built a manganic artillery complex that can be rotated in all directions, there are about five manganese under each tower. Then the tower itself was slightly modified and had more holes for the balista, the latter being the upper one fitted with more manganese and a wider place for the archers

Now the twin towers have switched functions from being just a watchtower to a fortress to stop the enemy fleet on their mission to Edelfield.

But that's not enough to stop 200 ships

The manganic recharge speed is about 30 seconds? Well, maybe that's how it is. Even if our fire hits one-third, it takes almost 20 minutes to finish off the entire fleet.

Our effective distance is 100 to 300 meters...

The question is can the enemy ship go that far in 20 minutes? Of course they can

The speed of the ship in this era was about 6 to 10KM/h so well...100 to 170 meters per minute?

That means maybe we can only sink six ships before they get to level with these twin towers, six out of 200?

So I had to improvise

"If all the docked ships are merged, how many do we have?"

"Miss, they're not even-"

"Military ship? No matter, as long as they can float and hold the weight of at least a hundred warriors then the Kingdom will buy them, "cut me

"But ladies, as far as we can understand, the Kingdom forces are all triumphing on the front lines. Or maybe...." Oh? He thinks it's a lie?

"No. They are indeed currently on the Eastern front, but it seems that our comrade from the Western Continent, the Hohenzollern Kingdom, decided to open another front here. Therefore here I am, sent by the Queen against them" I replied

Hearing this they discussed with each other in whispers

"Last morning, our spies reported that 40,000 Hohenzollerns were on their way here, "let's be honest

"40,000?!" Who the hell is not surprised just by hearing that number, especially since we only have 2,000 here

Well, I know that I should have lied about it, but it's not a problem for me...

"Miss, don't you think it's impossible to stop that number with just all of us here?"

"Hey! If you really doubt Miss Rune's abilities then you better take a look at the history of this island!"

There are pros and cons....

"Sister Ryuu, I was actually hesitant as well... Moreover, I've never seen your abilities before,"

"Well, there's a lot of reason to doubt. But we can only do our best at the moment, collect all the ships that can float and transport at least a hundred soldiers, and then I'll explain later,"

We started to gather ships, ammunition, and more people to join the force. Everyone is useful at a time like this

While I was in charge of defense, Yuuna managed every purchase we made. He negotiated with the merchants who owned the ships, with the farmers and ranchers to supply the food, as well as several others who could be involved in the defense of the island

Just in case, I also built a series of defenses on the Edelfield coast, but the main defenses remained at the twin towers and port entrances parallel to the towers

We managed to gather 20 ships and ended up having 5,000 soldiers- uh. let's just call them island protectors because not all of them go through warrior training.

2,000 trained soldiers were stationed on board while the rest helped artillery crews to fire rocks at the enemy, we would stop them at the port entrance or not at all.

"500 crossbows, and 7,000 ammo. Let's go now!"

Yuuna although I suggested to wait in the city instead insist on coming with me on the boat, can I stop her? Now he was beside me watching the other soldiers preparing in a battle formation

The plan is quite simple, we're here to shoot at enemies who stop at the port entrance, I want a minimum of casualties on Ruby's side but a maximum on Hohenzollern's side, let them attack this island.

Oh? There they are, there they are,

I can see it using accuracy ability, even I can see their King clearly from here, the young King who thirsts for that honor. Let's tell him that the dead are no longer demented

"They are very many Brother Ryuu...." Yuuna hesitated again

"Oh come on, every time you see an enemy you're always scared,"

"Eh?! N-Not every time!"

"Hehe, take it easy, this time everything is in my control, unlike before,"
