The moon changed, the morning of February 1, 424, continental calendar. One balloon after another takes off from the wind towards the group of reservoirs we reconnoitred and confirmed.
This time, a balloon that can load a lot of baggage is the main operation.
Slowly flush into the wind, and when they all reach the target by maneuver, they throw down the oil kettle one after the other.
When the fire was first started with easily burning oil and one additional oil was poured into it, the fire developed into a major fire that swallowed a strip of the area as it swept through.
In front of us watching from the balloons for reconnaissance, a huge group of warehouses built adjacent to the royal castle were swallowed by a large swirl of fire, and my nose felt a slightly fragrant smell of the grain burning on the wind.
I can see soldiers on the ground trying to extinguish the fire, or even bring out a little food, right and left (oops), but sadly the fire momentum seemed too strong to achieve anything at all.
The balloon is followed by a glider unit that will also set off and burn down one small and medium-sized warehouse after another dotted throughout the city.
The balloons pass over the capital and as soon as they descend to the ground in the opposite suburbs, they are retrieved by carriage, returning to the wind and loading the oil kettle again for a second outing.
The next goal is to gather firewood (mackerel) dotted in the commercial district.
When attacked, the firewood caught fire only on perishable objects and seemed untouchable.
Black smoke rising from all over covered the capital's sky. This day would have been just like a dark cloudy nightmare for the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Sidal and the capital...
Balloon surveillance will continue even after a large attack burns down a large part of the warehouse, and if new warehouses, food distribution stations, etc. are found, an immediate attack by gliders will be launched.
It was a unilateral attack on the Royal Sidal Army, which had no means to fight back against its flying opponents.
The enemy seems to have switched between moving supplies and distributing food at night to escape the eyes of the balloon immediately, but that has become a huge burden on soldiers and residents, as well as theft and robbery all over the darkness.
Half a month after the start of the food attack, on February 15, the interior of the capital was still showing confusion.
Resident riots occur in search of food, incidents frequently strike concealed warehouses, commands fly from balloons that see them, and gliders attack concealed warehouses.
Clashes between soldiers and residents trying to crack down on the riots have broken out in various places, demolishing private houses and turning them into firewood (mackerel) in an effort to compensate for the lack of fuel, but there are also residential riots that resist it.
It's like you've lost sight of who's the real enemy, and it's a hell of a picture.
I don't really want to see it and I don't want to show it to my sister, so I've been controlling my ballooning lately.
Day after day, they say there are people fleeing the capital out of darkness, but that's basically left out.
I guess letting them stay in the city will have a bigger effect on the food attack, but with this force, it's hard to continue the complete siege of a huge capital, and Eina seems to think that if a runaway escapes into a neighboring city, the information will diffuse and it will be easier for cities outside the capital to upset and pull out surrenders.
According to Ms. Eina's analysis, by the end of the month, the enemy will meet the limits of Cage Castle and surrender, or the leaders of the country, including the King, will flee, or will they be launched into a total attack of abandonment. It was said that there would be some movement.
Now I have one big thing on my mind as I consolidate my position and prepare to chase with my cavalry once the king has fled, while waiting for the enemy to move.
It is about the Elves who are expected to have tens of thousands of people in the capital.
In a situation where even human food is scarce, it must be the elves, subhuman slaves, who are the first to go to servitude.
According to Eina, humans can live for a month or so with water alone. They say elves can live a little longer, but that's only a guide, and some people will die sooner, and that's what it would be if they were healthy in the first place.
I would hope that the food situation of Mr. Slave Elf was a little better too, since I hear that the Kingdom of Sidal is a country rich in food and cheap, but what about fulfilling it......
I meet single Eina, tell her how I feel, and ask her to settle this as early as possible, after saying no to the extent that it doesn't affect the operation.
Eina thought for a while and then said, 'Okay. It is effective to create a tragic situation here to encourage other cities to surrender, but even the shock of the capital's early surrender will have a near effect, "he promised to take into account my request.
That's a horrible thing to say, isn't it?
Well, if the local cities continue to resist and crush each other individually, we'll be more dangerous, and the overall victims will be that way, so I know it's a necessary measure...
I'm glad you didn't bring my sister and Rhina, but I'm leaving the room to thank you for your consideration.
From then on, while holding back the feeling of burning, we waited for time to pass as we twitched......
The 25th of February, 25 days after the start of the food attack. According to reconnaissance from balloons, the food situation is getting worse enough within the city walls to kill and eat even horses, which is a valuable force of war.
The number of people fleeing the capital exceeds 100,000, which accounts for 20% of the inhabitants, and a significant number of soldiers are mixed among them.
They make it look like a getaway, send out soldiers, and they're wary of accidental strikes, but they can't even afford that.
Organised food collection teams also appear to be out, but they are attacking with cavalry around as soon as they are discovered, and most of the food and livestock left in the surrounding villages has been recovered by us in the first place.
The field is planted with wheat and beans on one side, but the harvest is said to be around April to May, and now it is not fruitful, it is no different from grass.
Still seems to be bringing back some vegetables and stuff, but the quantity is definitely not enough, and the vegetables alone won't be quite full.
In the meantime. In order to speed up the surrender of the enemy, a piece of paper describing the conditions of surrender was scattered from the sky around the royal castle.
It is what Eina took into account my feelings.
The content is the same as it was during the Basic Idra Empire, the King's departure and his emigration to the Kingdom of Pharos. Both military personnel and officials (Kanri) are guaranteed incumbents. If you refuse to surrender, it will rain a terrible death...
The difference is: 'The nobles recognise a tenth of their present territory as private property, and all other privileges are stripped. Abolish the aristocratic system "and demand only surrender without asking for negotiations.
By way of example, it creates a groove between kings and nobles and other things, and it is also accompanied by absurd language that incites (oh) distrust of each other.
No wonder this paper gets scattered. The confusion in the capital has grown in intensity and has entered a state of complete civil unrest...
Three days later, on the 28th, aspiring troops of citizens and soldiers were sending messengers here, until they asked us to launch an attack with a Feilong in our stronghold on the Kingdom's side.
Mr. Eina took it and sent a glider squad, not a Feilong, to attack him, adding, 'To those who did not surrender by March 1 three days later, nobility is condemned to death. Spread a piece of paper that reads' Apply descent, etc. to slave status to the civilian population (like this) 'and shake it further.
Its effects are immense, and the kingdom of Sidal has virtually collapsed with the continuation of those who return to sleep among the nobles. On 30 February, the king sent a messenger to accept full surrender.
The information was immediately passed on to other cities, and there was information from the refugees that other cities had offered to surrender one after the other.
Every city has plenty of food reserves, but they are utterly powerless to attack from above.
If stored in a basement, it can prevent attacks from the sky, but there's no basement where you can just carry huge amounts of food in, and just burying it has conservation issues.
Even if you build a stone warehouse to the roof, if you get stoned off a balloon, there's a hole, and if oil flows in from there, it's the same thing.
Even if I know, I don't have the response I can take.
We can't fight long battles in the castle more than we can hold the sky.
Some cities have not yet received information because of the size of the country, but virtually the Kingdom of Sidal was annihilated and annexed to the Kingdom of Pharos.
Not much more than eight months after the Siddhar Royal Army broke the borders of the former Markham Kingdom last June 22.
About four months after the beginning of the reverse invasion of the Idra Empire, the Kingdom of Pharos took possession of the three western countries of the continent and became the dominant power in the western half.
It also leaves its back with little damage to its own forces.
He'll deny it, but he's just one. By hand to a genius named Eina Parklen......
