Henkel Gate

This was not a gate you could pass with just strength

However, they needed to get past here no h value to this place to put their lives on the line to take it

Book 5-101

“H to himself as he looked out to the fortress in front of hierous Henkel Mountain Range that cut through the middle of the Henkel Plains The Henkel Gate was placed on top of that path

The Henkel Gate added on to the natural protections of the Henkel Mountain range, with tall cliffs andit ih this single path That hy the Henkel Gate was called a natural fortress, even with the ate itself

There was only a single door into the gate If they could pierce through that one door, they would get the opportunity to perfectly capture so tiion of their own that could grow food

‘It is fitting of its naate, ill need to constantly be on guard about the Silence E us in this side of the plains In addition, with us not being able to do anything to the eneht in front of us, this would end up a useless region’

Runa thought about that as he slowly stepped forward He wanted to take a closer look

“Runa-nio any further”

Runa stopped his uard warriors cautioned hi the side and the gate cutting off the only path across really was a path of victory for the defenders, and a path of despair for the attackers

The arrows fro area of that path of despair, and the path was pretty narrow that less than ten battering rah Furthermore, that path became even more narrow as you continued forward to the point that it was impossible to properly attack the castle

It also did not help that the gate was co they would need to ram at the door for it to break

Runa continued to think

‘Even if we use Orca-niate instead, it would still be impossible to evade the rain of arrows that can cover the sky coate is destroyed, how h at once ……’

The warriors could charge forward putting their lives on the line, but the pile of corpses will start to grow quickly, and even if the others cli forward, it would quickly becoured that way

Runa naturally turned his gaze toward the mountains and cliffs on either side He then slowly shook his head That was ied to successfully cliate had wickedly build watchtowers around the ed to find a path up the cliffs This prevented the the cliffs

The defense of Henkel Gate was prettythe case, there really was not anything Runa could do

He even wanted to cry to the heavens and ask how such a rough e that is difficult for people to cross could exist in the middle of a plain

Their only choice was to wait for the eneate and coive up the gate that guarantees their victory and coht?

But even if they were confident in their own abilities and ca as they left about 5,000 soldiers to protect the gate, it would be alh it even with 100,000 warriors

‘Who knows, ht about that before starting to laugh Their enemy was extremely prepared to the point that they built watchtowers in the et to prepare such basic necessities as arrows or rocks? It was a laugh to scoff at hiht happen

They had the Glohose inations, as well as a strong group of warriors called the Red Storer than the soldiers of the continent Finally, they had him, someone that even the Gloas the overall commander, trusted with all of his heart But for them to face a battle they could still not win

‘No! No! There has to be a way’

Runa vigorously shook his head as he got rid of the negative thoughts and tried to calm himself down

There had to be a method somewhere A method to at least make this half of the plains perfectly under Pareia’s control

Runa had to do everything he could to come up with that method
