On the 14th, looking to the left and heading south on Brut Island, the army on the Belm side of the Holy Bandham kingdom puts the Genbalus peninsula in sight.

Shipping by sea was nothing but painful for unfamiliar soldiers, and a fleet of 1,800 ships was initially in a difficult state to maintain troop action.

Still, not all of them have recovered as the Genvals peninsula nears, but about half of the original have managed to maintain their holding.

We are all aware of the harm caused by the long distances from the war and the rapid increase in the size of the navy, but we have all eaten our teeth and endured if we think of the incident that caused this expedition.

Under such circumstances, the Marquis of Cujou directed 500 ships, or 70,000 landing troops, towards the coastal area of the Principality of Belm.

The Cujo family is a royal family and the Marquis Cujo himself has the right to inherit the throne.

There are eight other families in the royal family (two of which are under disconnection), and the Duke of Brutoise of Christoph, who became Dorothy's spouse, is now a relative and ten, but the right to inherit the throne of the Cujou family is low and even if the royal lineage were to cease, it would not be possible to take the throne first.

Still, the Marquis Cujou must make this expedition a success.

To avenge the Queen, who was my beloved daughter.

"My lord, the advance party has landed. There's no sign of the enemy standing in the castle and coming out."

"Um, then we'll start the attack tomorrow morning with the sunrise as planned"

Marquis Cujou gives a solemn order, which Viscount Akatsuki recites and conveys to his men.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

An old man with a crease between his eyebrows without hiding his little fat, bald head is walking around busily whining some bumps inside the large room.

The tall, red-robed man follows the sight with frustration and gaze.

In addition to the little fat man and the red robe man, another man who is lowering the necklace of a symbol called Snepath, which is also a testament to Orions from his neck, is drinking tea as he wipes the sweat on his sitting forehead with a handkerchief on the couch.

"When will reinforcements come, my Ambassador?

"We're almost there. Governor's Palace"

The little fat man in this Duchy of Belm divides up everything in politics (i.e. every single one), Brenga Garland, he is the Earl, but the Earl family was never wealthy.

By the time Brenga succeeded the governor, he was a poor nobleman who was only famous for his nobility, but in only three years he had improved the finances of the house, which was a fire train, and in another fifth year he had accumulated vast assets.

At the time the Grand Duke heard such rumors of him and gave him the position of financial bureaucrat in anticipation of that skill.

And now he has been in one of the best positions in the Principality of Belm for fourteen years.

"I'm tired of hearing that word. Our country is now in danger of annihilation. If your reinforcements don't arrive now, this country will perish tomorrow!

Emotional but never intimidating.

The man who was called ambassador is Mullint Frog, who has been on duty in the Principality of Belm for three years as ambassador of St. Orion.

He is the Teng himself who brought in this invasion of the Kingdom of Holy Bandam.

The month after Mullint became ambassador to the Principality of Belm, he brought the Holy Bandham Kingdom disturbance operation, including the assassination of the King of the Holy Bandham Kingdom, to Amkitsa III, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Belm.

According to his proposal, the Kingdom of Saint Bandam would then have a bone dispute over the throne of the King, and he would be in a state of civil war, but if you open the lid, the King's assassination would end in failure, and instead of a civil war, the Kingdom of Saint Bandam would give reason to open the edge of the war against the Duchy of Belm and the Holy Orion.

"Ambassadors, do you understand? Tomorrow you will follow the same path as us."

"It's okay. The Pope has promised to march 100,000 soldiers."

The strength of the Holy Bandham Kingdom is estimated to be 150,000, even if it is small, and the force possessed by the Duchy of Belm, a small country, is 40,000, including reserves.

The consul Brenga wanted to believe that word, which he had heard many times, that where the Holy Orion nation had sent out 100,000 reinforcements, the force was inferior to the Kingdom of Holy Bandham, but could nevertheless rise to the mound to fight.

Saint Theolit, capital of the Principality of Belm, is a port town with tens of thousands of holy Bandham soldiers landing on its east coast just about 2 km away.

And there are a thousand more ships stationed off the coast of Sant 'Eolit, threatening to kill them at any time in the port of Sant 'Eolit.

Brenga is not used to war enough to be normal minded in this state.

Even if he was good at making wealth, the battle was over. Brenga, the gatekeeper, was angry with his haste.

For Brenga, who has been opposed to the proposed assassination of the King of the Kingdom of Holy Bandam since the beginning, I would like to strangle Mullint for this matter.

At the instigation of the Lord, the unknown Grand Duke Amquizza III, I suppress the urge to strangle Mullint, the tenant who has involved the Duchy of Belm in the fight against the Holy Orion and the Holy Kingdom of Bandham.

As Mullint left the room after the conversation, the depression he'd been suppressing exploded and smashed the paperwork on his desk.

"Keep your eyes on Mullint!

Kutch, a long-sleeved man wearing a red cape and head of the Sorcery Division, leaves the room to monitor Mullint as directed by Brenga.

Kutch himself was against reaching out to the Holy Bandham Kingdom, but Grand Duke Amkitza III and anti-Brenga forces forcefully proceeded to speak.

Moreover, the nobles of the anti-brick forces left Saint Theolit with us at the end of their own territory.

Kutch had feelings similar to the inner giving up that perhaps the time had come for the demise of the Principality of Belm.

"The devil who instigated His Highness the Grand Duke and led our country to destruction must be in his personal possession. I won't let you imitate me running away to a safe place."

There is no anti-brick force in the castle that stayed and touched Grand Duke Amquizza III to meet the demands of the Kingdom of Holy Bandam, who insisted that he should contribute compensation even if he apologized and was forced to do so when an envoy from the Kingdom of Holy Bandam asked for an apology and reparation.

The answer to how I got it wrong was out there.

It has been since I rode the sweet words of Mullint, the ambassador of St. Orion.

How can we keep the Principality of Belm? Brenga's distress lasted until late at night.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The march of the Kingdom of Holy Bandam began at the same time as the morning sun rose.

From the coast side, 70,000 soldiers led by heavily armed infantry, and from the sea, shelling by the fleet was launched towards the port town of Saint Theolit.

There are three Magic Guided Artillery cannons on the deck of the Whale Class 4, the Magic Guided Battleship labeled 'Isanami', and it is seated to boast its majesty.

Moreover, the Magic Guided Artillery has improved over the past year or so, and the range has extended to such an extent that it is not in previous ratios.

This modification was decided by Christoph when he tried to contain the Gornew Fortress after the Battle of Lake Zilpen, when the attack by the Light Moon's Magic Artillery did not reach the Gornew Fortress.

To be precise, the walls of the fortress could be reached and destroyed, but the center of what can be described as Honmaru was out of range and the attack could not be reached.

Because of this, the power was improved to extend the range intact, and all Whale-class demon cannons from Nos. 1 to 4 were originally long-range as weapons in this world, but even longer ranges.

Seven other Dolphin ships have been completed, the size of which is a medium-sized battleship, as well as one Dolphin class, but equipped with a Magic Gun.

Three gates of Whale Class 4, shelling from seven gates of Dolphin Class 7, strike the walls protecting Saint Theolit, the capital of a nation.

The walls that bear one end of a nation's defense, the walls of the Principality of Belm, which are also famous for producing magic items, are manifold defensive and junctional sorcery, but the attack of a magic cannon that lightly pierces the defensive walls and destroys the walls.

A simple penetration of the thick enchantment barrier applied on multiple occasions would be a blue-hearted thunderbolt for the Duchy of Belm. The stunned faces of the soldiers who see the walls that have thereby been opened and destroyed by a great wind hole tell the story of it.

The soldiers' desire to fight from now on is quenched.

"Why... the enchantment wall..."

"Ugh, you're lying..."

The soldiers of the Principality of Belm flee with us as if they scattered spider sons into the continuous shelling.

Originally inferior in its power, the Duchy of Belm could only take the passive maneuver of buying time by doing a cage castle and waiting for reinforcements over St. Orion.

It won't take me long to break my heart to come there and be shown that the overwhelming destructive power will destroy the walls of my request.

"Run! No more!

Land troops who saw the walls destroyed by reinforcement fire from the sea did not march immediately.

That is also to avoid being caught up in the explosion of reinforced fire from the sea that destroyed the walls, but above all to sharpen the will of the soldiers of the Duchy of Belm, the enemy, to the extreme and to minimize damage to their allies.

When reinforced fire from the sea moved from the destruction of the city walls to the walls of the castle inside the city, the land forces proceeded without any resistance to the destroyed walls.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Stupid!? What the hell is that?!? That the defensive junction is completely ineffective!?

"My lord consul, the soldiers are fleeing!

"Damn, no way... it's so far... the Kingdom of Holy Bandham is a creation of tremendous things..."

"No hands, no legs."

Not if you're impressed with what you say is good.

With the soldiers packed in the castle in sight fleeing with us, the consul Brenga reached a similar frontier in reopening.

"I'm going under His Highness the Grand Duke. You take Prince Romanio and put him down. You may rely on Baron Azam of the South."

"I see... because that man is famous for hating Orion... you're not going to die, are you?

"My life is wasted with me. But if offering this life will keep this country alive, I will gladly give it away."

……

Kutch then quit the spot when he muttered without saying anything.

Even though I think of numerous memories that an end will be struck to a long relationship that I won't see again, Brenga now goes down the hall to do what she needs to do.

That day, for the first time in the 200-year history of the Principality of Belm, the capital was to fall.
