Through the telescope, everyone could see the panicked appearance of the crowd below because of the avalanche, but what was confusing was that this panic seemed not to be enough?
That's right, it was not enough. Although the crowd looked a bit messy, they seemed to be gradually being brought under control.
'What on earth is going on?'
But just as Lancer was confused, Najenda had already set up 'Pumpkin'.
Pumpkin's operating mechanism was very strange. The stronger the user's mental fluctuations, the greater the damage. At this time, even though she knew that the avalanche was calculated and would not affect them, the rumbling sound like a divine might still made her highly nervous, and this also made Pumpkin's energy reaction get higher and higher.
She knew that when the snow particles from the snow wave swept across her face, Najenda finally pulled the trigger.
"Bang!!"
With a huge roar, a beam of light shot towards the giant tree below!
This sudden attack completely stunned the foreign tribes below, but then ————————
"What?!"
A huge light screen blocked the Imperial Armament's surroundings. Under Najenda's attack, the light screen shook violently but did not collapse. At the same time, the avalanche finally swept down, and the entire light screen shook more exaggeratedly, but it still didn't break.
"As expected, I can't save it."
While muttering to himself, Lancer stood up and raised the 'cavalry spear' in his hand.
"Weapon Overload"
The bone spear in Lancer hand, which originally looked a bit hideous, suddenly began to emit a faint reddish halo. Both Najenda and the other two thought it was just an illusion, but when the faint hot sensation appeared, they finally knew that it was not an illusion, but 'reality'!
And Lancer had no time to explain to the others at this time because he found that he was almost unable to control the weapon in his hand. He had only tested a weakened version of this 'Explosive Cavalry Spear', and the result was very good, both in terms of the explosion effect and the destructive power on a point.
But he didn't expect that when the 'dosage' was increased, the instability of the weapon also increased exponentially. At this time, the cavalry spear in his hand had not reached its limit, but he felt that if he continued to increase it, it would probably be detonated directly.
'I can't wait any longer!'
He changed from holding to raising, twisting his waist, and all the muscles in his body worked, gathering all the power to his wrist ——————
"Haa!!"
Along with a loud shout, the cavalry spear in his hand finally went out, but Lancer didn't completely let go of his heart, because he was afraid that the weapon would be detonated directly during the flight.
The thrown spear seemed to have turned into a real meteor, carrying sparks as it sped towards the barrier, and then ————————
"Boom!!!"
Under the small mushroom cloud, the light screen that had been shaking finally collapsed. The snow wave that had been separated by the light screen instantly completely submerged it...
And Lancer, looking at the rising 'points', also breathed a sigh of relief. He finally succeeded.
"We should go back."
The beheading operation was successfully completed, and the northern foreign tribes' logistics base was completely covered by white snow. Next, what they could do was very limited. If that 'Imperial Armament' was completely destroyed, everything would end here. If it was not destroyed... then it would be the next focus of the northern fortress's attack.
——————
However, Lancer and the others seemed to have thought things a bit too simply. When they rushed to the fortress, they found that a siege battle had already begun in front of the fortress, and as the defending side, the empire was naturally a bit better, but the corpses all over the ground were still chilling.
"Have they gone crazy?"
The trap-type Imperial Armament user who came with Lancer also couldn't help but mutter softly, but Lancer, who heard what he said, shook his head.
"You haven't been to the border army, so you don't know the madness of those foreign tribes. As expected, the other side should have received the news that their rear was destroyed. I just don't know if they plan to take advantage of the fact that their morale hasn't collapsed to have a final burst of madness or are simply planning to reduce the population..."
"Reduce the population?!"
Lancer words made the man gasp in surprise. His situation was similar to Lancer. They were both recruited into the Imperial Guard. Although he had served at the border, it was only for a little over a month. He seemed to be completely unable to understand this kind of behavior.
"That's right, that's how it is. Why do you think the empire didn't kill all these foreign tribes back then? It's simple, because it wasn't worth it. As long as they retreat back into the snowy mountains and live their savage lives, we can't send a large army to encircle and annihilate them, because the non-combat attrition is simply too much. Okay, that's enough chatting, let's get to work first."
Holding a bone spear temporarily made from a dangerous species' skeleton, Lancer also stood up.
It's a bit strange to say that they seemed to plan to surround the other side with four people, but in reality, this is indeed possible on a battlefield with a huge gap in combat power.
High-end combat power generally has two tasks on the battlefield ———— motivating morale and beheading.
And what Lancer and the others needed to do next was 'beheading', just like before.
The situation Lancer could understand, Liver was even more clear about. When he saw those foreign tribes desperately attacking the city, he knew that Lancer and the others must have succeeded, and this crazy offensive was just their 'final madness'.
And when he saw the red cape fluttering in the distance, his eyes lit up even more!
"Bulat! Lead the assault team and prepare to leave the city!"
Bulat, who was originally scheduled to participate in the assault team, was later left behind because it was considered that the fortress could not lack an Imperial Armament user to guard it, so Lancer and the four of them set off. At this time, Bulat, who received Livers command, excitedly waved the 'short sword' in his hand.
"Leave it to me!"
At this time, he had also seen Lancer in the distance. The array of foreign tribes was actually torn open with a crack by that red arrow.
"What a powerful man! I really want to have a match with him!"
"There will be a chance. He's also a battle maniac. I think you two should get along well."
"Haha~! That's good!! Captain, I'm going first!"
Jumping down from the city wall behind him, Bulat shouted and rushed towards the assault team that was already prepared. Immediately, a cheer came from within the city.
There were only two possibilities for the defending army to choose to leave the city: either to fight to the death or to harvest the fruits of victory. At this time, it could only be the second one.
Perhaps Lancer was not good at commanding, but he was indeed a trustworthy partner. The reason Liver decisively gave the order was because he believed that even if Lancer couldn't completely tear the enemy apart, he could at least give the opponent enough pressure, and then the assault team led by Bulat would launch a frontal surprise attack!
Even if they couldn't defeat them in one fell swoop, they would definitely cause serious damage to the opponent!
