Two months later, the invasion of the League of Kings began after me and E Ludre exchanged hands for a separation.

E. Ludre did not use any falsehoods about the invasion period.

I heard the report and once again felt his samurai appearance, but I never had time for sentimentality.

The Alliance of Kings is coming, because there is a clear intention to interrupt the construction of the castle of Azchi, which is now being built by Lutrala.

The castle of Azchi was also a symbol of the Demon King's Army's control over Rosalia, as well as the place where the Demon King's Army became the economic centre.

You can't let that construction get in the way.

I decided to confront my enemies without sparing any more troops than the Demon King.

This meeting will be followed by a battle called the Azchi Attack Battle, but the ranks of the Demon King's Army will be as follows.

General, Ike, Commander of the 8th Regiment of the Demon King's Army. That number 2000.

Seventh Legion Legion Commander Cefiro. That number 4000.

5th Legion Corps Leader Urk. That number 4000.

Rosarian reinforcements under other subordinate alliances, 4000. The commander is Alistair, etc.

Plus, the Demon King sent me about 2,000 guerrilla troops who were not part of any regiment as a force.

Altogether it is 16000 large armies.

It was the highest number of troops ever in command.

Meanwhile, the legions of the League of Kings are comparable.

That number is 15,000, mainly the Knights of the Phallus Kingdom.

Almost the same size.

Listening to the report, Lilith of Sacubus is at.

I asked why because it was disgusting, but here's what she said.

"No, because, Master Ike, isn't it your first experience that Master Ike can fight in more armies than his opponents?

"Maybe I am."

Ever since I became brigade leader, no, ever since I was troop leader, I feel like I've always been given an environment of troop numbers disadvantage and have fought.

Though 1000, it was gratifying to be led more soldiers than the other.

I'm just not optimistic.

"Originally, the power of the Demon King's Army is not comparable to that of a human being"

I'll explain to Lilith.

"The Demon King's Army is a mixed army of demons, demons, and now humans. Demons can fight more than one another with their enemies' powerful magicians and knights, but conversely, cobolts, oaks, and goblins are weaker than their allied soldiers."

With that in mind, it can also be considered positive or negative zero, but anyway, I simply couldn't compare it in numbers alone.

"Besides, our army is a mixed unit with humans, elves and dwarves. If we don't take control, the opposite could happen, causing defeat."

When I said that, a witch who was nearby sandwiched her mouth.

"You're still a worrying man. If I were to say that, the enemy would be similar."

Sephiro magically mirrors the armies of the Alliance of Kings, far away.

"The Kingdom of Phallus is at its core, but many other national flags can also be seen. Nor is the enemy army a single rock. If the conditions are the same, the commander wins better. That's what I'm gonna do."

"If the commander's abilities are mutually reinforcing, yes."

"Don't guide me. Even if the target is somewhat better than the other, I hope the military teacher is good for that. This time, the concubine is on your side, and I'll give you my advice exactly. Now I don't doubt the victory of our Demon King's Army for the excellence of the Army."

That's what she said, she lined up next to me.

"I'd like the Commander to take command of the 7th Army."

"If you command, Kushana of Manticore will pick you. I'll take your place as soon as I get a pinch."

That's what she says. He doesn't seem determined to move beside me.

When I leaked my sigh, I gave up putting her back in formation.

When the witch laughed at it, she asked me for an outline of the operation.

"Well, my Lord Commander-in-Chief. How do you defeat the King's Alliance?"

It was straightforward, but I gave it back frankly.

"First we'll put the artillery squad forward and screw up the enemy's nose"

"That's a natural tactic. Artillery is the most powerful weapon."

"But that's not going to be fatal,"

"Hmm."

"Iron cannons are the strongest weapon, but over the last few years, they've been overused. The enemy army must have learned exactly what to do."

"Indeed. Recently, the effect has been diminishing, I feel like…"

"In fact, in Rosalia, we were awaited for rain, and the enemy we fought before this put the sorcerer forward and put up a defensive wall. And then we look at the sloping fences that were commonly seen during the Warring States."

An inclined barrier is an object that bundles wood and the like, installs it diagonally, and distracts the orbit of an artillery bullet. It has the effect of not being an out-of-the-box fool.

"Rumor has it, the enemy army is about to start mass production of artillery."

When I said that, the witch frowned, but she didn't say no.

Originally, the Demon King's Army had inferior technical abilities to humans. Such a demon king's army had artillery thanks to my knowledge and Dwarf's technical skills.

They analyze cannons captured in repeated battles. Or (I don't even want to think about it) I couldn't say enough that if the Demon King Army had a traitor, the method of manufacturing artillery, plus the method of manufacturing gunpowder, wouldn't spill.

"... well, keep this one confidential because it's unconfirmed information. It involves morale."

"Right. I don't think the Demon King's Army has a traitor."

"Let's hope he's not here"

That's what I said, but worst of all, I tried to take command on the assumption that the enemy forces were starting to equip themselves with artillery too.

At least we can't fight with artillery.

I thought so.

However, I wouldn't count on it, but I was going to make full use of it more than there was a weapon called an iron cannon.

As foreword suggests, when we gave the artillery to the human forces, we waited for the enemy troops to come.

The Alliance of Kings approached and gave orders to shoot out the enemy if they were placed within the effective range.

My orders were executed as soon as the advance team of the League of Kings showed up at noon the following day.

Thus began the Azchi offensive.

By the roar of artillery brought from the world of the warring nations...
