章節 142: Siege
I look at my generals and say.
"The teleportation will be activated in thirty minutes after my units, and I get teleported. Make sure you and your unit do not get away from the magic circle."
"Yes, my lord!"
"Good."
I nod my head and see my generals walk toward their unit. I take a deep breath and activate a sonorous charm before saying.
"I will teleport us in a minute! Prepare yourself!"
I deactivate my sonorous charm and release a nervous breath. While I am already in three big battles, I cannot stop feeling anxious every time I need to go to war. I snap from my thoughts when I feel a hand on my shoulder.
I look to my right and see Lucina giving me a reassuring smile. I smile back at her, and I can let my nervousness disappear. I take another deep breath and put on a serious expression. It is time for action.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|3rd POV|
It was a lovely day in the city of Garuvardin. The birds are singing, and the people are happy. However, one person did not feel the same: Lord Barrius Turian, the current lord of Garuvardin city.
For some reason, he has a bad feeling. The feeling that he is too familiar with. The feeling of incoming battle.
Barrius Turian, a sixty years old Count. He is a war veteran who has faced many battles, from defending against the rebellion to defend a surprise war from the eastern continent kingdom who declares against the Vulux kingdom.
He knows this feeling well, and he is worried because he knows who he will fight against.
"Father, you should relax a little."
Barrius looked at his son and heir before saying.
"I cannot relax just yet, son. Something is coming here, and I did not know who, but I know something is coming here."
Lanir sighs a little at his father's answer. Lanir is an untested knight, and he did not ever experience war before, so he cannot feel the cold wind coming from the north as his father did. However, Lanir knows that his father has a sixth sense that alerts him of incoming disaster.
His father already ordered the army inside the city to stay alert and prepare for war. Five men ready to be deployed at the time noticed a massive trebuchet ready to be fired from the wall tower.
If he did not know better, Lanir thought that his father was expecting a face-to-face siege. He did not know what was in his father's mind, but to have a face-to-face siege of Garuvardin city was impossible.
The reason is that Garuvardin is located in the middle of an island in the middle of the river. There is a five hundred meters gap between the island and the nearby landmass. The enemy that tries to attack Garuvardin city needs to use a boat to try to siege the city, but before that, they need to survive against a few dozen war machines on top of the wall and behind the wall.
In the corner of Lanir's mind, he knows that his father has lost his mind and gone senile.
However, before his thoughts can grow larger, Lanir hears a panicked shout from the outside.
"Enemy! Enemy attack!"
Lanir quickly ran toward the window and looked outside before widening his eyes. He can see the entire river around the island has been frozen, letting the enemy army stand on the ice.
"They are…"
"The north."
"Shit!"
"What matters worse is the one leading the army. Look"
Lanir takes the binoculars and looks at the army. In front of the army is a man wearing iconic armor and unique hair. That man is Isaac 'Silver Lion' Lionheart.
"This is bad. What should we do, father?"
"We welcome them."
Barrius takes an orb from the drawer and pushes a little bit of his Physical Energy into it. A few seconds later, Lanir can see a semi-transparent barrier appear around the island.
"I see. The barrier my great-grandfather ordered to the Tower of Magic in the past. Do you think it was enough to hold the silver lion?"
"It was good enough for our force to gather and welcome the silver lion. It is time to fight soon. Go to the battlefield. I will be there soon."
"Yes!"
On the other side of the battlefield are Isaac and Lucina, looking at the city in front of them.
"It is massive. I think it was two times the size of Sea Dragon City."
"And it was fortified to the teeth. What should we do now, Isaac?"
"We attack."
Lucina nods her head and activates her Rage rune.
"Explosion!"
After Lucina activates the spell, a massive fireball appears above the barrier and slowly falls.
"What is that?!?"
Lanir looks at the massive ball of fire falling from the sky with fear and awe. Barrius, on the other hand, gritted his teeth when he saw that fireball. He did not know if the barrier could handle that fireball.
"What are you waiting for! Attack them!"
Barrius has a thought that if he can defeat the silver lion, he can stop the bombardment. All the war machines begin firing their ammo. From trebuchet to the ballista, all the siege engines fired their ammo toward Isaac and Lucina.
Isaac spread his hand when he saw the incoming attack, and suddenly the first wave of attack changed into a snowflake. This is the most powerful spell in the Harry Potter world, in Isaac's opinion. A spell that can transform anything at will? That is powerful.
Especially when you are in this world where the mana is thicker, and there is a lot of it in the air. A permanent transfiguration spell is not impossible in this world. While permanent human transfiguration is still complex, it is possible.
Barrius looks at the first attack, and he gets even more frustrated. However, before he could order another attack, the fireball already touched the barrier, and it exploded.
*BOOM*
The explosion is so powerful that the shockwave almost threw the army behind Isaac and Lucina.
As for the barrier… It cannot withstand the explosion. The barrier immediately crumbled at the blast. The intensity of the blast melts a chunk of the castle that is closest to the barrier.
Seeing the barrier is gone, Isaac activates the sonorous charm and says.
"Artillery! Fire!"
At his command, the trebuchet in the back began to fire their ammo.
"Lucina, destroy their siege engine. The rest of you! March!"
Isaac did not want to destroy all the walls of Garuvardin as it will take time to repair them. That is why he needs to take it without destroying the wall too much.
Barrius looked at the marching troops and frowned even more. He looked at the archers next to him and shouted.
"Archer! Get Ready…. Fire!"
A volley of arrows rained upon Isaac and his army, but before it could reach them, the arrow turned into snowflakes once again. However, some of the arrows did not turn into snowflakes, and Barrius can see this.
"I see. He cannot turn an arrow that he cannot see. You! Take your unit to the west! You! Take your unit to the east! Keep firing your arrow at the army, not the silver lion."
While he cannot defeat the Silver Lion, Barrius can decrease the amount of army the silver lion brings with him.
"Fire!"
He ordered the archers to fire another volley of arrows.
He cannot transfigure all the incoming arrows, so Isaac orders his troops to use a shield wall.
"Testudo!"
At Isaac's command, the army begins to get close up together in a group and create a closed shield wall. Like a tortoise that gets into its shell, the people behind the shield wall are protected from the arrow rain.
"Isaac! The Siege Engine on the wall has been destroyed!"
"Good. Now destroy the gate!"
"Understood"
Lucina activates her Rage rune once again, and this time, her target is the metal gate in the distance.
"Dancing Flame!"
After invoking the name of the spell, two massive arrows made of fire appear above Lucina. A second later, Lucin pointed her finger at the metal gate, and suddenly the arrow began to fly toward the entrance.
It takes three seconds for the arrow to arrive at the gate, and it takes five seconds for it to melt the metal gate.
Barrius, still focused on the army marching toward his city, thinks that the explosion that is happening is Lucina attacking the siege engine on the tower. However, it changed when his son arrived near him and said,
"Father, the gate has been breached!"
"What?!? Dammit! Go and take command of the cavalry and the infantry. I know the enemy cavalry will be moving now."
"Understood"
Lanir gathers all the Garuvardin city soldiers and moves to the eastern part of the city, where the gate has been breached. When all the soldiers already gather in the eastern part of the city, the teleportation Isaac creates is activated, and suddenly all the armies of the north appear surrounding the city.
Lord Metis, the Artillery unit general, shouted when he appeared in front of the Garuvardin city.
"Attack!"
