Chapter 504:
Sorry it took so long but we're back to regular releases. The schedule will be 5 chapters/week Monday-Friday.It took a little time, but we succeeded in destroying about 80% of the cannon gates.
This was one step closer to capturing the Manoni fortress. However, our relief was short-lived, as we received an urgent message from Horostoi, who had been entrusted with the task of taking care of the fortress.
“What is it?”
“The main squadron has been attacked by the enemy! The vanguard magicraft battalion has been destroyed, and the main division has sustained heavy damage!”
No way…….I went out to a good vantage point and looked down and sure enough, a large scale battle was taking place. Even from here, the intermittent explosions and chaos were evident.
“We need to go back now. If we don't, things will get worse……."
Everyone in the detachment agrees to return as soon as possible. It's not that I don't trust Horostoi to stay, but he seems to be in over his head.
However, although we want to hurry back, there is no way that the enemy troops around the cannons will leave us alone. Besides, it is more difficult to climb down a cliff than to climb up it, and it seems quite dangerous to do so while under attack.
