They poured oil and set it on fire, but the Turkiye soldiers seemed to have no sense of fear and continued to climb the walls like ants.

“Allah Allah, Allaha, Allaah!”

The sight of him muttering strange words and running even though his body was on fire went beyond horror and reached the realm of grotesqueness.

“Fucking really disgusting bastards!”

Percussion! widely!

Every time Claudia’s air rifle fired, Soldier Türkiye fell from the ladder.

“It’s really pouring in with no end!”

“That’s right! If you’re going to surround me, just be quiet. Why are you making me use my strength unnecessarily?”

Herl threw away the gun and took out an axe.

“Find!”

Kwasik!

[Wow!]

The thick ax blade hit the Türkiye soldier’s head, causing blood to splatter in all directions.

“Ugh…”

Claudia frowned at that sight.

“Kill at least one more person while you’re frowning!”

“I know!”

Percussion! widely! widely!

Claudia pulled the trigger repeatedly.

“Ai… I think the pressure has weakened!”

She waved her air rifle and fired again.

Percussion!

Ting!

Perhaps because the pressure of the air gun weakened, it bounced off the armor worn by the Turkiye soldier.

[I lived… I lived…! God protect me!!!]

He screamed and started climbing the ladder at high speed.

“No guesswork!”

A soldier watching from the side threw a rock.

[Ugh!]

Soldier Türkiye fell from the ladder after being hit with a rock.

“Throw away the gun and stab it with a knife!”

Herl threw Claudia’s gun on the floor and handed her a knife.

“Stab!”

“I understand!!!”

Phew!

Hearing Herl’s cries, Claudia stabbed the Türkiye soldier in the chest as he tried to climb over the castle wall.

“Okay, keep killing like that!”

Wooo! Wooo!

The Turkiye army’s attack, which lasted for two hours, stopped with the sound of a trumpet.

“They are back!”

“ Wow, it’s really finally over now!”

As the Turkiye army returned to their camp, all the soldiers fell down in their places.

“Water here.”

“Thank you.”

Claudia nodded weakly and accepted the canteen.

“When will the reinforcements come…?”

Claudia looked west with tears welling up in her eyes.

“It will come soon. Don’t give up.”

Herl stroked his sister’s head.

Not only were the walls in tatters, but the situation inside was not very good either.

More than a hundred houses were destroyed by shells that flew past the castle walls, and people were soaked in fatigue.

It seemed that the limitations of trying to fight 150,000 people with less than 20,000 people, relying only on castles, were starting to become apparent.

“Really… I would have no wish to eat white bread with butter.”

Herl quenched his appetite and looked at the city.

“It is said that the vanguard that went first has not yet been able to break through the siege of the Turkiye Army.”

“It’s not as easy as the number is…”

Viscount Ajaccio scratched his head and looked at the map.

“It will still take two more days for the main unit to arrive…”

“Shall we order the soldiers to march rapidly?”

Viscount Ajaccio shook his head at my question.

“No, you cannot lose strength by marching quickly before a battle.”

“Anyway, where did the Duke of Orléans go with so many cavalrymen?”

“No one knows that. I know you left Elance, but where are you and what are you doing? There is a lot to think about inside and outside the country.”

Viscount Ajaccio sighed deeply.

“Urgent news!”

A messenger hurriedly entered the barracks.

“What’s going on!”

“It is said that Vienna’s citadel has collapsed!”

At his shout, silence fell in the barracks for a moment.

“What?!”

Viscount Ajaccio grabbed the messenger by the collar.

“Vienna’s citadel collapsed?!”

“The castle walls, which had become fatigued due to continuous bombardment, eventually…”

“How can this be?! Vienna is just a little further away!”

Viscount Ajaccio slammed the table.

“What did the King of Allant say?”

“I don’t know about that, but… It looks like the Allant and Holy Alliance camps are busy moving around and trying to head to Vienna at the moment.”

“Yes, you had a hard time.”

“Yes!”

The soldier saluted and left the barracks.

“Shall we prepare to leave?”

“Like that.”

Just as I was about to leave the barracks, someone came inside.

“I was a little late.”

The Duke of Orleans hit me with his shoulder and approached the Viscount Ajaccio.

I grabbed his shoulder and glared at the Duke of Orléans’ back.

But he didn’t care and instead treated me like I didn’t exist.

“Meeting His Highness the Duke.”

“Why can I hear anger in your voice?”

“Is that possible?”

“Yes, it should be like that.”

The Duke of Orleans nodded with a satisfied expression.

“I think we will arrive in Vienna soon, so let’s combine the two armies.”

“Yes…?”

“Did you not understand what I said? Let’s combine that and this army and advance together.”

“Umm…”

Viscount Ajaccio grunted and pondered before nodding.

“I understand. We are leaving now, so please get ready.”

“No need to prepare, just prepare for that.”

“I understand. I will prepare it soon.”

At his words, Viscount Ajaccio bowed his head.

The Duke of Orleans patted the Viscount Ajaccio on the shoulder and then left the barracks.

I bit my molars as I watched his back moving away.

“Look at you.”

“Yes.”

“You seem to have a grudge against the Duke of Orléans.”

“There is.”

“Put aside your personal feelings for a while. This is not a situation where your emotions can enter.”

“I know it well.”

I sighed deeply.

The more I know, the more problematic it is.

I was annoyed by this situation of not being able to do anything even with Orleans in front of me.

“Hurry up and get ready to leave.”

I bowed to Viscount Ajaccio and headed to my barracks.

We began to advance to attack the Turkic forces besieging Vienna.

A total of nearly 50,000 troops, including the Elance Volunteer Army, the Duke of Orléans’ army, the Aland Army, and the Holy Alliance, came forward to save Vienna, which was on the verge of fall.

“Tch, why are those kids showing their shameless faces now…”

Lotos spat on the floor and glared at the Duke of Orléans’ army.

“I don’t know for what purpose they participated in this war, but it’s clear that they have dark intentions.”

Aramis glared at Count Lachefort, who was riding a horse with a happy expression on his face.

At that time, Count Lachefort turned his head and looked at us.

He looked at us for a while, then smiled and turned his head.

“That… that…!”

Lotos got so angry that his face turned red at the attitude that seemed to be laughing at us.

“Lotos, calm down.”

“Whew… I feel like I get so angry and crazy every time that kid does that, so maybe this is a good thing.”

“Just don’t worry about it. Isn’t he doing that on purpose because of our reaction?”

I tightened the straps of my helmet.

The breastplate pressed against my chest, making it a bit difficult to breathe, but I still wore it for safety.

Originally, it would not have been worn, but it was deliberately worn after reports came in that the Turkiye army was surprisingly short on firearms and used bows.

“Mari, when were we leaving?”

“After all the cavalry charges, follow them.”

“Thank you.”

Lotos took off his helmet and wiped the sweat from his head.

Seeing that his hands were damp, I thought he would sweat less because he had a bald head, but it turns out that wasn’t necessarily the case.

Dududududu!

Alant’s cavalry charged towards the Turkic forces.

The sight of cavalrymen running with large wings on their backs shaking the ground was a sight to behold.

Soon, the cavalry of the Holy Alliance followed them, and the cavalry of the Duke of Orléans…

“Why don’t you go out?”

They stood still, keeping their positions.

“I will come and see you for a moment, so please wait.”

Viscount Ajaccio drove his horse and approached the Duke of Orléans.

He spoke to the Duke of Orléans several times, but the Duke of Orléans ignored him and was eventually driven out by his subordinates.

“What did you say?”

“It would be nice if you could tell me why it’s not moving, but he didn’t say a word.”

Viscount Ajaccio shook his head and looked at the Duke of Orleans.

“They don’t seem to have any intention of moving, so let’s leave first.”

Cheaeng!

Viscount Ajaccio drew his sword.

“Forward, forward!”

With his orders, the Elance militia moved forward.

“Wow!”

Several soldiers were seen vomiting from the tension of war.

“Don’t worry! If we do as we are trained, we will win!”

The soldiers nodded at my shout.

As I climbed the hill, I could see the Turkiye Army in the distance, surrounding Vienna.

I was amazed at the number of Turkic forces gathered like a belt around the Vienna Fortress.

In the distance, horsemen could be seen running towards the Turkic forces in an A-shape.

Not to be outdone, the Turkiye army also advanced its cavalry toward the friendly cavalry.

The two groups of horsemen rushed towards each other at a faster and faster pace and soon collided.

Quang!

As the Aurors clashed with each other, an explosion was heard as if a bomb had exploded.

The torn bodies of people and horses floated into the sky due to the impact.
