Friends, the LaSpezia-Habsburg Alliance fleet is marching straight for Xenova.

No one yet knew that La Spezia had betrayed him. With the emergence of a fleet of Sardinian and Mediterranean forces, Zenova was unable to respond. We quickly entered the harbor. At Crystal Ball, I heard a voice constantly in question.

─ What's going on? What are you doing back already? What happened to your allies?

“Hurry and open the water gate. The Duke's orders. An ally is caught in Poseidon's rage on the way. Deliver it to Mayor Genova. Operation LaSpezia, failed! ”

─ I can't...... No, I get it. A direct request from the ducal charge is required to open the water gate. I'm sorry, Your Majesty...

“Did you summon yourself? ”

I stepped out. I gathered wizards in advance and enchanted my appearance with welcome magic. Because the voice needed to be forged, I dug into the Grand Duke's neck to determine the vocal chord structure. It was fine. It wouldn't make a difference if it was a little more messed up in the yard with your throat cut anyway.

“Just as the deputy reported. The Seal. Open the door to tired allies immediately. ”

─ Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you for following this process. Glory to Medici forever!

Eternal glory. It was a warning to Medici for generations. I raised my mouth tail.

“Ah. Eternal glory to Medici. ”

The water gate protecting the port of Genoa has been opened.

In this era, the harbor was tightly controlled, and the entire dock was surrounded by woodwork. In Genoa, there were five entrances and exits, respectively. Our troops row easily with oars. Up to 30 crews make their way through the water without being disturbed.

─ Welcome back to Genoa, Your Majesty! The citizens of Genoa will always serve you. The mayor is coming to receive you.

“Slowing yourself down should help the market. ”

─ Your Majesty, the mayor will never forget the kindness and consideration of His Majesty.

He said with an impressive face. It was a well-trained dog. You mean Mayor Genoa is also capable. Sardinia's characters were clearly outstanding compared to the fewer nobles of the Habsburg Empire.

“The nobles of Sardinia are capable. ”

Laura whispers next to you. It was exactly what he said.

Nobles are becoming competent, commoners are becoming increasingly bureaucrats, and is this a republican-friendly country overall……. I smiled on my lips by myself. It's not exactly an ideal country.

Sardinia, if you have made one mistake, you have sacrificed a girl. The most unscrupulous kind of man was conceived as a scapegoat. You don't know that. You want to make an excuse that it was a mistake.

Then accept the consequences of your mistakes.

─ Your Majesty, you have waited a long time. The mayor is in the harbor now.

“You can see it in your own eyes. But where are you in charge? ”

─ It is on the top floor of the tower visible to the right in the flagship of charge.

Maybe he thought the Grand Duke was interested in him. My voice overflowed with joy. I smiled softly.

“Well done. I'm impressed by your kindness. I will offer you a small gift. ”

─ Ooh.Glory forever. The Great Depression!

“I hope you like it. ”

I raised my right hand.

Then the deputy shouted in a loud voice.

“Fire!”

Friend's Wizard unleashes his magic as a whole. Some were merchant vessels led by the mayor of Genoa, some anchored alongside the harbor, and some quickly flew to the tower where the ports stayed.

They had no time to scream. The whole market and Gazindan were on fire. The harbor quickly turned into a rubble as the flower attacked the merchant ships. As the tower collapses, the headquarters for controlling this situation finally evaporates.

An order comes from Laura's mouth.

“Erase.”

The fate of 70,000 citizens living in Genoa was decided in one sentence.

Our mercenaries are already at large with carnage and plunder. They did not attack the civilians indiscriminately first. First, you attacked and captured the Castle Tower and Armory of Genoa. A handful of defensive forces were slaughtered.

Humans faced with fear have two options: One is to pray to the gods, obsessed with despair, and the other is to burn the will of death and resist to the end.

These are the items that inspire human will: A well-organized garrison, a wall and a castle tower where the Resistance can run away and rebel for a while, and a heavy weapon in both hands.

If they were distracted by robbing the rich house, the rebels burned the battles somehow, based on three or more items, which was never good news for the mercenaries. A really well-trained mercenary would postpone the 'Delicious Banquet' a bit. Helvetica mercenaries under Laura's command clearly belong to the latter.

Only 40 minutes.

All citadels and armory in the city of Genoa have been received. It was fatal for the mayor and the Cajuns to die on the ranch. Most of the guards who lost their leader surrendered powerlessly.

“Walk to the gates and lock them! ”

This has eliminated the means by which citizens can flee.

Currently there are about 3,200 allies. It was not easy to deal with the entire population of Genoa. So Laura and I put down the river. I ordered the Wizards to carry out a blatant bombing.

To the layman, magic was nothing but an object of awe and fear. It was an insurmountable violence. The villagers have been destroyed and burned. Citizens screamed and fled to a place where magic could not reach, where there was no fire.

It was like a hunting spree. Our troops drove the civilians west to east.

Many citizens were armed with self-defense swords and bucklers, but it was impossible to defeat an armed army of mercenaries with spears. The mercenaries were literally nothing. There was a soldier with a burn on his right arm due to a slight slip of magic, and this was the only damage.

Citizens are finally converging on the west gate of Genoa.

“Vee, move! Get out of the way!”

“Shit, open the gate! Why won't you open the gate!? ”

There were 70,000 people in one place. The outsider pushed the person in front to get close to the gate, and the citizens who fell into a body fight were trampled under the heels of hundreds of people. Abigail cycling was reproduced on the tariff.

Did he feel something was wrong? Citizens turned and tried to flee. But behind you, the spear is lined up in a dense formation like hedgehog fur. Citizens became indifferent.

“What do you say, Duke? Shall we start recommending surrender? ”

“Pretend to be 50,000 people. Too many.”

Laura shakes her head.

“This is a number we cannot afford at the moment. ”

“Hmmm. Slaughtering unarmed civilians can be a diplomatic challenge. You said you were being too harsh, and now you're taking the fall? Fabia was an exception. ”

We talked side by side. It was really a relaxed conversation. If we keep the two of us apart, we will not feel that we are weighing 70,000 people's lives.

“How about this? Only the citizens who have sworn to obey us completely are taken prisoners. ”

“How can I know if I will obey only with my tongue and have a sword in my heart? ”

“Even if your mind is full of poison, you can't do anything without your body. ”

Laura smiles at you.

“Citizens take off any clothes except underwear. ”

Orders were executed as is.

Anyone who wishes to surrender must desist.

At first, the citizens protested violently against the order. It was a meaningless act, of course. My mouth closed by itself because I gave him one or two lumps of flame lightly. Someone hesitates and takes off his clothes. Then there were more exponential deviators.

“Nobles, don't take your clothes off. ”

“Do I need to be considerate? ”

“It's not considerate. When you're pushing a group into a corner, you have to divide them into two groups. It's a guilt to complain about why only nobles are treated as special. ”

So everyone took off their clothes, except a few nobles and priests.

It was spectacular to see tens of thousands of men and women in their underwear walking in a row. I couldn't even watch without drinking. Laura and I exchanged wine to see this historic painting.

“What will you do with Xenova now, palace white?" ”

“Well, I think it's about time. ”

“Oh, isn't it about time? ”

I licked my wet lips with wine.

“The Habsburg Republics have joined the war. They violated international etiquette first, but there's no way they can defend it. I can't wait to see what Elizabeth looks like. Hey, it's fun to imagine. ”

“ ……. ”

Laura has no answer. I turned my head to look at me strangely, and suddenly I was staring at me dazed.

“Duke?”

“Huh? Oh. I see. I'm looking forward to the headquarters as well. ”

Laura hurries to her senses and smiles brightly.

“By the way, th-the palace white. I guess I've been hearing... that a lot lately... ”

I tilted my head. Laura barely notices what she means by looking around. It was that the number of times I had sex decreased.

“You did it yesterday. ”

“Hmph. I mean, the headquarters... I didn't do it yesterday..." ”

“ ……. ”

Perhaps now my eyes have become the eyes of a perverted girl.

“When do you complain that you've been hurting like an angry dog all day and now it's taken you a day? Gosh, I've heard rumors that women get hornier as they get older, but I didn't know the duc was that old. ”

“Ugh, that's not it... Never mind! Stop it if you don't want to!”

Laura turns her head away to see if Laura's upset.

I smiled maliciously. And he faked a mistake and spilled wine on Laura's uniform.

“W-what are you doing!? ”

“Oops. Sorry, duc. I accidentally offended you with your clothes. I'm so sorry."

I spoke aloud to the mercenary commanders around me in such a way as to listen to them all.

“This is what a group of Commanders must be like. Here. Let's go change. I will personally escort you as much as I did wrong. No, no, no. Please do not decline. If you refuse to do this, I'll be so consumed with guilt that I won't be able to sleep tonight. Baron de Blanc. ”

“Oh, yeah! Mr. President!"

The baron de Blanc, who was watching our meeting in his right mind, is very nervous and raises his manners. By the way, Baron de Blanc is now Laura and my best henchman.

“I will briefly escort the Lord Commander. In the meantime, keep an eye on the prisoners. Do you understand?”

“I accept your order! ”

“Hmm."

I nodded satisfactorily. Laura finds it bewildering, but I've been dragging her halfway there.

The city was deserted like a ghost town when all the citizens were leaving. I ordered the guards to stand by for a moment, then walked alone with Laura into the square. There was no one in the wide open square. Only fountains gush out of the unpopulated square.

“Joo-gun? Why in a place like this...? ”

“You know that, Laura. I've been doing it for a long time. ”

I slowly approached the fountain with Laura.

“I wanted to do Laura in the middle of the city. ”

“W-what are you...? ”

“You've come to the right place at the right time. ”

Laura struggles to realize the seriousness of the situation. But I held Laura by her shoulders and wouldn't let go. I whispered in her ear.

“Duke. If we don't get this done quickly, the soldiers will see it. ”

“You're such a pervert! How can you kill tens of thousands of people and then kill them in the middle of the conquest...! ”

I used to hate it because it was too much, but a little while ago I hated it because it was too little, so now I say I hate it again because I want to do it. Even if I was a generous and kind man, this was a little angry.

“ ……! ”

I stole lips because I was angry.

After that, it was simple.

The two of us massacred 13,000 Sardinian royal soldiers, massacred civilians, wiped out the city, sat in a public square with no one and mixed up in a mess.

I think we were an amazing couple. Don't you think?
