Having arrived safely on the outskirts of the capital of the Idra Empire, we ascend on a balloon.

It was a rolling sight to see gradually opening up.

A huge lake stretches a little high on the north side, and on the south side of it stretches the city and farmland so large that you can't see the edges.

The biggest city I've seen since I came into this world was King Markham's capital when buildings were still spreading outside the city walls, but it's huge enough not to compare.

However, it was also a city where the king's capital wanted to be surrounded by walls, whereas the imperial capital had no walls.

It was like a super huge village with a mix of buildings and farmland that went on everywhere.

This sight seems to have been a shock to the rest of us, and the Minister for Military Affairs utters the words in dismay.

"I didn't know you were this big... how much of a population you have..."

"Didn't I tell you it was 3 million in size beforehand? As a city, it's a giant city with three fingers on the continent."

To Eina's words, the Minister of Military Affairs utters words without taking his eyes off the city.

"To be honest, I thought it was an exaggerated number by the Empire...... I was convinced for the first time that my country, which has no 100,000 inhabitants of the Wang capital, is said to be a bordering countryside. I have no idea how to attack such a huge city..."

Well, it's quite a big city in the original world when it comes to 3 million people.

There are no skyscrapers in this world, so it feels like we're spreading to the side and earning numbers on the area, but how much?

I guess there's an emperor living on the north side of the city close to the lake. I can see something like a castle, but I can't see the end of how far the city extends radially towards the south.

Perhaps dozens of kilometres continue?

Approximately, Eina looks around to make sure there are no enemy cavalry members, and once again shifts her gaze to Imperial Capital.

"... apparently in a mild state of confusion. Would it be natural if a giant flying object suddenly appeared? Add a glider to this and you're going to be quite upset."

You really don't brace yourself, do you, this guy?

Well, it looks like Eina had an accurate grasp of the information, and I have trouble getting upset when I get here.

"Now hurry up and launch the gliders in turn from the ready balloons to attack the Empire City. Drop the oil kettle as wide as possible because the purpose is to provide mental compression. Actual damage can be minor."

Mr. Eina's orders are communicated to the other balloons with a flag signal, and the gliders set off one after the other.

It would indeed have a spiritual effect, but I don't really think this huge city will surrender on that alone.

He said the bacterial attack of the ten-day fever was a last resort, so I guess Eina has other ideas.

Eina, who had been looking at the whole city here and there for a while, opened her mouth to the contrary.

"That part sounds good. The waterway being pulled from the lake is heavily curved, and the bridge is also crossed. It's the perfect condition."

At the end of Eina's gaze is near the northern end of the capital. It was around the middle of a huge castle and lake where the emperor would live.

After you give instructions to the staff, you'll take into account me for not understanding the story. Eina gives a commentary.

"This city was originally supported by that huge lake. In this land, where water is scarce except during the snowmelting season of the Great Mountains, the lake can stabilise everything from agricultural to domestic water by storing huge amounts of water. It is no exaggeration to say that the waterways drawn from it are precisely the lifelines of this city."

I see, is it like a natural dam?

Even though it was a wilderness that had barely even grown trees so far, it was also convincing that this place was only extremely rich.

And at the same time, what is Eina trying to do...

"You know what Kaori is, don't you?

That's what Eina took out was a moist white powder.

"Yeah. Nuta powder, right? The one you just put in a little bit when you want to thicken your dishes."

"Exactly. The raw material is a special fish discharge, but mixing this with water produces strong stickiness, which can make a barrel of water semi-solid in one hand.

Pack this in a rough bag of eyes, tie the stone with the rope and throw it down the waterway. If you tie the stones together, the wind will be less affected and easier to drop to the target point, and after falling into the waterway, it will act as an anchor to prevent it from being flushed, and it will emit intensive viscosity in the same place. "

While we're listening to the operation, one big bag of gliders sets off from another balloon after another.

Glider soldiers in the war are brilliant maneuvers, throwing bags in a row and one after the other at the target point.

Even when it comes to waterways, they only hold 3 million people's worth of domestic water and water that moisturizes vast areas of agricultural land, about the size of a little river.

Thanks to the large goal, the bag has a nearly 100 percent chance of blistering and falling into the waterway, and eventually, abnormalities occur clearly on the water surface in the distance as well.

It seems that the bridge leg (today) on the bridge across the waterway serves as a strut to stop the flow of water.

In front of it, the water was booming, and the water that had lost its way began to flood the city in large quantities.

Since it is just the part of the waterway that is bent, the majority of the water flooded out in the direction in which the flow is directed is on this side of the waterway. They're coming for us.

Not so much momentum, but it became muddy water and slowly swallowed up the city, and a bunch of people rushing away could also be seen in my eyes.

"... Operation is a success, isn't it? And then attack the city with gliders to disrupt the restoration of the waterway and sporadically, too. Now let's see how it goes for a few days."

That's what Eina says, giving instructions to lower the balloon.

In a gradually lower vision, muddy water twitches and widens its range.

"We can have a huge wetland zone between us and the city if you keep spreading it, so our enemies will also have difficulty moving large armies. Maybe we can't afford that."

That's what Eina says, shifting her gaze backwards.

The vigilant would be a cavalry with up to 30,000 expected. Though the risk of pinching has decreased, a large cavalry unit is a major threat.

Eina's view was that it would take five days at the earliest to find the main unit and come back undetectable. And there's another problem, and our food's only about five days away.

Moreover, no convoys have been formed, so they will not be supplied.

The city's strategy will be to compete with the time spent using five days as a guide.

A battle as dangerous as a sweep was about to begin...
