Whats this.whats going on there?
One after another, knights and mercenaries under their banners are sent in and one after another, they disappear.
No report came back. It seems as if all of their precious soldiers are being dragged into the depths of darkness.
Even the Rastoir General Rai Rakan suppressed his impatience and waited for the good news with arms folded and a solemn expression on his face.
Finally, when the number of missing exceeded 1000, he grew impatient.
Alright, Ill go in.
General Rai, well face the danger with you!
At this point, instead of stopping the general from facing the danger, the spirit of the valiant Rastoir warriors decided to move forward and become the generals meat shield.
To protect General Rai, the proud knights under his banner stormed into the dungeon.
Thats a lot!
Captain Mars shouted in impatience.
It was all well and good until a group of knights armed with barbaric swords and lamellar armor plunged into the big room.
They rained them with bullets but there were too many of them to kill.
The weakness of firearms is that once all the bullets are fired, it will take time to reload them.
In panic, they tried to escape to a hidden room but Mars, who was last in the row, was caught in a hidden door.
Captain, what are you doing?
Nooo! Help me!
The volunteer corps hurriedly dragged Mars, who was jittery, from the hidden door into the hidden room.
A Rastoir knight jumps at him with a shimmering, rugged barbarian sword, ready to slash Mars lower body. Good thing that they managed to drag him in and hold the hidden door.
Youre really!!! Captain quack is safe! Turn around and go to another squadron!
Dont call me quack.
Since Captain Mars is unreliable, he is no longer in command and other soldiers started giving commands on their own.
When the knights were trying to open the hidden door, another group of shooters appeared from another hidden door, and corpses piled up.
Bastardddd!
General Rai slashed at the shooters while shouting loudly.
Hiii!
The volunteer corps rushed to fire shotgun shells but General Rais air-shaking rage deflected the bullets and slashed them down.
Knight Dross, feeling that it was now her turn, drew her saber in defense of the slashed volunteer soldier.
Idiot, is this how a knight fight?
I dont like what Im doing either!
Her hands are already numb with just one slash from the general but even so, Dross managed to block two or three heavy slashes.
She has no plan of beating him. Shes only buying time.
The volunteer soldier, who had regained his composure, pointed his loaded shotgun at General Rai, who was angrily slashing.
General, look out!
His Rastoir Knight guard, who was wielding a barbarian sword next to him, used his own body as a shield and took the shell in his body.
After catching the body of his companion, who was blown away by the shot, General Rai held the body of the brave knight in his arms and gave the order to retreat.
Pull back!
His guard knights retreated to the dungeon corridor, protecting General Rai.
The volunteer corps fired a volley of bullets in hope of defeating the enemy general but they were unable to do so because of the enemys desperate defenses.
Are you alright? Heres a potion. Drink it.
Knight Dross is taking care of the young volunteer soldier who has been slashed and has him drink a recovery potion.
Captain Mars also came to see how he is.
Hey, Dross-neesan. Is that big guy the general? Will he come back again?
I dont know. However, we must remain vigilant. He seemed to be a general who could make a surprisingly calm decision so he will no longer attack without a plan.
As predicted by Knight Dross.
Now that it has become known that the Oracles Great Cave had become a fortress of Silesie Kingdom, the imperial army would no longer make any brash moves.
---Scene Change---
General Rai, who crawled out of the cave, realized that the proud Rastoir warrior he had been carrying was no longer breathing.
OOHHHH he cried like a beast.
General Rai could do no more and began to gather his soldiers and horses and prepare to start a camp.
If he is forced to fight more unreasonable battles, hell just return to his homeland. Then, a messenger came in.
General, we have received a demand from Crown Prince Feed from the main camp saying Sink The Oracles Great Cave immediately.
Tell him that unless the Golden Lion Emperor comes here in person, I wont have any more of my precious soldiers killed in this absurd battle!
In the end, the siege forces of the Kingdom of Silesie in the Oracles Great Cave fought well even with their small number. They will hold out there until the war is over.
If the imperial forces pulled back, they would launch an offensive or spit out monsters. That threatens the imperial army a lot so they have no choice but to have a fraction of the imperial forces stay there.
