Cecil territory encounters the monster attack from Gondor Wasteland once more, and annihilated invading enemy tenth to spread most quickly also the broadest news on the same day in this cold winter successfully, but the dissemination of news was not only various group of scouts, peddler, the mercenary merit, Gawain oneself tacitly consenting to regarding this even in secret promotes also to have the enormous influence.
With the Gawain's view, that is „must let that help/gang easy and comfortable southern aristocrat and King's city of person knows existence of threat line”.
In this cold winter, is doomed to have many people to sit lying difficult secure.
Ainz eastern border, Longwind Fortress.
As the total protection of Eastern Region, Duke Silas Loren year to year personally is guarding this fort, at this moment, he then stands on the top layer flat roof of fort center that castle, is looking into the distant place overlapping wall rampart, as well as the wall builds beside that the snow and ice by savanna that cover.
This fort that ten years ago finish is the pride of Eastern Region Loren Family, it had been through repeatedly the entire three generations of painstaking care, the Eastern Region family has paid the huge financial resource, the physical resource, the manpower, even the blood of family member, on the land that finally in this piece and Typhon Empire was in sharp opposition has raised up this firm fort, it established Winterwolf Castle and attached groups of defenses in border with Typhon Empire faces each other across a great distance, was not only a barrier, was a deterrent.
Longwind Fortress establishes to stem from the rapid worsening that between Ainz and Typhon relate.
In 100 years ago Mist Month Civil War, Eastern Region Loren Family is in four boundary Duke preserves strength most complete one, from the beginning, this family had then realized throughout with Brother Ainz symmetric Typhon Empire is actually a huge threat, therefore during entire Mist Month Civil War, this family has not made own key forces participate in that chaotic and brutal royal power competes, status and influence of Loren Family limited several movements during the civil war to maintain oneself in kingdom, but eastern part their most energy have placed on this border line afterward fact to show, in the past this discretion of Duke Loren. With fulfilling responsibility to have protected the entire kingdom.
Ended at the civil strife, Ainz internal stability after establishment and northern Wilde Family of Second Dynasty thunder wrist/skill, but stills rapidly, Loren Family then starts to build a series of defense facilities on the border line, Longwind Fortress is in all defense facilities the investment energy biggest and time-consuming longest, defends strength also strongest one.
It is a military fortress, rather has both the fort and urban function „fort metropolis”, its interior has to maintain the fort revolution, to guarantee that self-sufficient all facilities, the Loren Family soldier is not only the soldier who here defends a city, is the resident in this city, but the existence goal of this fort city, must be able to stand erect in all circumstances on the ground of this border, does not drop down.
When Ainz because of civil strife, but declines large scale, when Typhon Empire actually because of oneself even more powerfully produces the illegal heart, because has the barrier that Loren Family establishes to stand in the border, enables the illegal heart of Typhon throughout only to be the illegal heart.
From fact, the Mist Month Civil War Ainz four respected families have it can be said that undertaken entirely different several historical roles: Western Region Franklin Family is maintaining and Augari Tribe Kingdom diplomacy and trade ties throughout, has preserved the economic lifeline of kingdom, has built the foundation for the post-war kingdom reconstruction \; Northern Region Wilde Family with an illegitimate child as the flag, as powerful as a thunderbolt stilled the civil strife of entire country, before the situation may not recall thoroughly has stood firm this kingdom forcefully \; Eastern Region Loren Family has defended the Ainz border as a barrier, blocks the enemy who overseas these harbored evil intentions during the kingdom civil strife.
Although each can say that has the selfishness respectively, moreover nearly splits during the civil war hostilely, but in any event, they had defended at the final moment still this kingdom.
But forms the striking contrast, is the same time Southern Region that is Cecil Family that is established by the heads of four big Founding Duke, in 600 years throughout brilliance ten thousand zhang (3.33 m) Cecil Family...... Human affairs have not done.
Now the Cecil Family ancestor lived, therefore nobody has dared to criticize the Cecil Family honor issue directly, can only say that their main house gate misfortune, ran into the most awful successor in most essential time, ancestor's foundation has nearly been destroyed in a moment.
The historians in this aspect always many enthusiasms, they always animatedly discussed that was any factor causes four families to have that entirely different performance during Mist Month Civil War, but looked like in Duke Loren, all the discussion about that phase of history did not have any significance, he thinks that caused that aspect main reason is Gawain Cecil died too early 35 years old to leave this world then fallen Duke Cecil in the past actually prematurely, therefore cannot promptly passes to the heir his brilliance and glory, therefore inheritance of Cecil Family in the Grumman Cecil that generation major problem.
Duke Cecil this resurrecting, perhaps is educates later generation.
Silas Loren stands on the flat roof, calmly was pondering these concern the issue of kingdom history and glory inheritance, many people think that this has Duke of legendary strength is only a military person, but he thinks that these are just the opinions of know-nothing party, he is always many profound ponder, but he ability in battlefield by far high his ponder, therefore the people only noted his strength.
A familiar aura approached, Silas Loren takes back looks into the line of sight of distant place, he has turned around, saw the young people who a brown short hair, wears the mail-armor and helmet are stepping onto the flat roof, this military garb, the brave warrior uncommon young knight bends the waist before him slightly: „Father, the information came.”
„Good knight ritual!” Silas Loren said severely, „Belk, you now in report military situation!”
„Yes!” The young people hurry very to set out, good very standard knight ritual, „general, latest information.”
Silas nods: „Said.”
„Has verified the Typhon Winterwolf Castle garrison troops truly to carry on the fight several days ago, but is not and we, but is one unknown monster combat. The Winterwolf Castle garrison troops win, the fortress are broken through, but the outer wall suffers the moderate damage, the garrison troops casualty situation is unknown, but should not be few.”
Silas slightly nodded, but shows neither approval nor disapproval, the young Belk Silas Loren eldest son sees that cannot bear open the mouth saying: „Father, this is we weakens the good opportunity of enemy!”
Silas unemotionally looks at Belk's eyes: „Do you think really?”
„Exhausted of enemy is our superiority,” Belk was welcoming father's line of sight, holds up the head saying that „their city walls suffered weakening, in the winter patched the city wall to be difficult, in a short time the defense of Winterwolf Castle had the weakness, next they were hit by the monster attack, in a short time the panic will weaken their battle efficiencies, finally their soldiers also had the damage, therefore this was the good opportunity that we attacked.”
„Idiot.”
Belk has stood the body, has not flinched slightly.
„ You know that Winterwolf Castle is not an independent fortress, but is one in a series of groups of defenses? You know that now is in the winter, but between are we and Winterwolf Castle away from big world of ice and snow? You know how many reserve soldiers the Typhon person has established in their groups of defenses, can replace the regiment that the strength suffers setbacks at any time?
„This damage simply has not had a fracture to Typhon, instead will let them in a short time strengthens at least one time Winterwolf Castle and peripheral defense, defends the army to shift from the groups of defenses to the frontline in massively, to make up the defense flaw that the city wall breakage creates \; We must surmount the world of ice and snow to attack Winterwolf Castle, that snow and ice will make our armies weaken a big truncation, is exhausted of enemy our superiority? When you run up to the Winterwolf Castle under foot, the one who is exhausted is you! Moreover the most important attack, is all -out war, but I had said wants now and Typhon makes war?”
Belk then awkwardly lowered the head, but cannot bear say: „We and Typhon wars...... At present.”
Silas looks own this young son, he can feel the earnestly seeking of courage and to the victory and glory opposite party chest, this is he tries hard to instill into to the opposite party quality, but he must shake the head at this moment: „Do not anticipate this war. Do not anticipate.”
„Father?”
„Soldier truly should earnestly seek the victory in battlefield, but cannot earnestly seek the war itself, particularly and war between Typhon,” Silas Loren said slowly, and sighed in a soft voice, „, moreover did you hear other news?”
„Other news?” Belk knit the brows, obviously does not know why own father refers, „what is?”
„One crowd the merchant who came from southwest, they bring alchemy potion to enter a city,” Duke Silas said at a moderate pace, „they said near southwest that new Cecil territory was also hit by the monster, these monsters from were too slow, the Cecil territory news that Gondor Wasteland mutated creature your information came arrived here with the merchant, you actually did the clear Winterwolf Castle matter!”
Belk is somewhat ashamed, although he knows that this is not his incompetent peddler in the safety and stability home walks, but situation that he must investigate border outside these news blackout strict hostile groups of defenses, this two's difficulty and efficiency are entirely different, even if so, he cannot achieve the matter should is also the fact.
Therefore he accepted the criticism of father silently, and in the news that since the father mentioned left a discomforting feeling: „These monsters...... Before is, Duke Gawain Cecil in King's city to various aristocrats proposed when warning monster that mentioned?”
„Right,” Silas Loren nods, „he proposed at first warning time does not have many people to believe, I too have not attached great importance, but now looks like...... I have perhaps made a mistake.”
Belk sees oneself father surprisedly, he will little see the father to have acknowledgment wrong time.
„These monsters exist, moreover they are threatening the human the territory,” Silas has not paid attention to son's vision, but as if thought aloud that continues saying that „they will attack Typhon, will attack us, in these wasteland monster eyes, simply does not have division of no Typhon and Ainz, but threat that this braves suddenly...... Perhaps will change the entire situation.”
