"Dear Ike, I want to finally get back!

When I arrived from Zenobia to Azchi over a week, Lilith picked me up this time.

But not with a full grin like Julia's, but with her cheeks swollen in a grumpy manner. I won't even hold him at last. No, that was something I didn't have to do in the first place.

"Lilith, tell me what's going on"

"As you can see. Without Ike, Azchi Castle is a sack of rats."

If you ask me, it does solidify the infantry, spear soldiers, troops of the volcano guns, etc. around the castle of Azchi. Though there is a moat, this won't make it out of the castle. It's an ideal situation.

The archers are targeting this unit from the narrow arrow area covered by the walls, but the magic of the Barrier has already been developed to surround the castle. It's the work of the White Rose Knights magicians and elves who are good at wind magic. Then no matter how many bows you shoot from the castle, it won't reach us.

"How'd it go with the third legion that started the rebellion?

"As Ike expected. They were working looting on a human living in Azchi. Well, it's all an attempt. We got rid of him!

"Yeah, it's great, Lilith. What are they after, food?

"... Sometimes Ike makes predictions so neutral that he's connected to his enemies."

"That's what Sati told you, too. I'm the commander. I have to work my head off more times than you guys working in the field. That's how you move your head."

"... as I said, the target was more food than gold"

"But you ended all the robberies with an attempt, didn't you? Then you're good."

Again, as I thought, there doesn't seem to be that much luxurious food in the Azchi Castle that I just built.

Even more so, the chances of success of the operation increase.

"What happened to Anemone? Why don't we just go home from the woods yet?

"No, I came back about 3 days ago. She caught me jealous of my sister again. I know Master Ike is attractive, but if you say so much, you should join the 8th Corps yourself. I can't give up my real wife's seat, but I can get you a seat if you want with my second and third concubine."

"Who's my real wife. Who's.... Anyway, now you're all set"

"... now, Master Ike. There's one thing I'd like to offer you."

"Hmm? What?

Lilith has raised her hand modestly, so I'll ask.

"After all, shouldn't we make a total offense right now and get the castle back quickly?

"What makes you think that?

"Because there's too much waste in this fight. Look at the amount of food that Ike brought himself."

Say it, Lilith points at the carriage she's holding back behind us.

Horse carriages in long rows are packed with large quantities of food. So much so that one or two is no longer advantageous. This carriage was also borrowed in Zenobia, so it is certainly a headache battle, given the amount paid for in the ex-post processing.

Sending Anemone to the World Tree Forest is certainly a lot of waste.

But.

"Lilith. You're right, what do you think would happen if we forced ourselves into the castle?

"With the help of our 8th Corps, it's the 3rd Corps and so on."

"You're optimistic, you..."

Again, this girl seems more suited to a general on the battlefield. I'm not the general type.

"Surely our 8th legion is mighty. With humans, dwarves, and elves in addition to demons, we have more diverse ways of attacking than any legion. But it's not invincible. If you force yourself into it, it is imperative that you suffer a lot of damage. I thought you said it in the military. Siege warfare is a better battle to defend. Even though the 8th Regiment is undeniably undefeated, there will be casualties."

"Ugh... yes, but..."

"In addition, well, this will be repeated, but if we wage a flashy battle, inevitably, in the eyes of the Alliance of Kings. You're going to show civil unrest to your enemies. If we do, we're going to create a gap that's going to attack over there. Even the soldiers, exhausted in this battle, are hard to blame for the Kings' Alliance attacks. As I have said many times, this rebellion cannot be conspired against by the Alliance of Kings."

"... but how do you get the castle back?

"I said that in the military, too..."

"But it's too unrealistic. It's like a war written in a picture book. Is it that easy to get the castle back?

You said it was like a picture book again......

But the picture is definitely pastoral. Anyway, we don't fight.

But history has proven to be outstanding. Once upon a time, tens of thousands of people lost their lives by taking this method of warfare.

Well, this time, I'm adding my own arrangement to keep the victims out.

"We have all the ingredients, and the rest depends on Satie's arm and everyone's acting skills. No, maybe I don't have to act. Just make sure you enjoy it."

"I think the pleasure of battle lies in taking over the enemy general... besides, I disagree that his daughter is on the battlefield, right?

Lilith says, pointing to Satie, who was holding back behind me.

"The daughter has never experienced a battle. This is a battlefield where only warriors are allowed to stand. What can you do for one daughter who doesn't know war?"

"So Lilith will take his place? You can't iron one thing properly, and you can't bake one pancake well, can you replace Satie?

"Oh, that's..."

"Dear Lilith. Please calm down."

Satti called out to Lilith, who shrugged her teeth.

Lilith flies a sharp glance at Sati, as if being cared for in that way was a humiliation in itself. Damn, I'm gonna be weird mean to you forever, this guy.

"I am glad. Until now, I have been useless on the battlefield and have only been able to send your husband away. But I'm so glad I could help you on the battlefield."

"............... Huh, be my guest"

but.

And Lilith says, staring at me.

"The leader of the enemy is the domus of the qi bone. You won't be the guy who gets sunny with such a mental attack. When we pick him up, we will definitely offer this Lilith, Lord Ike! We take the enemy general because we hold him as a warrior!

"Okay, I'll have you accompanied. Put it where you belong."

Say it, I'll fly directions to everyone with the magic of "Tales of Reading".

That was an order that didn't look very good on the battlefield.

But most importantly in this battle - it was a ridiculous order.

"Begin Operation Azchi Castle Attack with this! Drink and sing thoughtfully, all of you!
