Episode 221: Destroying Towns

Biard, King's Capital of the Kingdom of Malt

"Long live Sir Hardlett!" "You're strong, prostitute!

After we win, we make sure there is no further follow-up to Vandrea, and then we go down to Biard once.

It was a bigger victory than I expected, but it wasn't meant to take Vandrea's territory, and I wasn't ready for it.

"If we invade our national territory, they will respond accordingly, too. If you don't want a total collision, you should weigh yourself in this time. If necessary, prepare carefully before we do so."

Leoporto says this too.

"More than that. They'll be in trouble, too."

Send your gaze to a bunch of flashy faces unlike the Biard citizens that Myra delights in.

They seem to be messengers from the Liberty Democracy.

Anything to counteract this invasion of malt by Vandrea...... they were thinking of negotiating in a slightly more favorable way by smelling the existence of Liberties specifically.

If you argue hard with Vandrea, you can afford the Altair Empire for that matter.

I tried to keep them as long as I could to avoid it.

"It's all par, though. Half of the Vandrea invading army, and reinforcements, also lost at considerable cost. It must be profound for them with a total of 120,000 troops."

"You attacked me because it was over there. We don't have to shy away for Liberties."

I will cooperate because I am in a friendly relationship, but there is no point in sacrificing my own territory or malt for that reason.

"Now there can't be a re-invasion for a while, can there?

I'll ask Leopold just in case.

"Tactically, there can be no re-invasion. I don't even know if we're going to have a profit-free invasion."

Normally, he doesn't have room to attack anymore, but he says he doesn't know if he's coming with the "I'm angry, so I'll attack him" theory.

"I'll be here when you get here. Think again."

For now, this war is over.

"Dear Eigil, citizens are welcome. Why don't you wave?

"Right."

Even now, many citizens are waving on Biard's central street, where we're going.

Mort and the Prostitute Army... The Mort soldiers just returned with a pile of loot, but the right material, no complaints.

There must be a word of gratitude from Celestina to the soldiers after this at the Royal Palace.

What worries me is that the soldiers are expecting a reward, and when I finish stroking my head, my dissatisfaction increases.

There's no reason to let him stroke anything but me.

Hmm.

"I heard there were 30,000 Vandreas in the army... but I can't believe they broke it in no time with the widows"

"I thought our army was weak, but do we do it inside?

"There are rumors Sir Hardlett was there. Because he's really strong."

I hear citizens.

Your face is covered properly with a helmet, so you should be fine.

"My sister runs a farm on the outskirts of the city... and Sir Hardlett sneaks in at night and says he's been held! He's definitely here!!

What, speaking of which, I think I put this up at night on a woman with big tits on a farm near the camp.

Her face remained exposed because she did not wear a helmet to hold the woman.

I didn't think you knew my face.

"Dear Eigil..."

"What? Almost to the royal palace."

Celia gave me a huge sigh when I said it backwards.

Royal Palace

"Thank you for everything! The concubines will never forget those who did everything they could to protect Mort."

Celestina labors the soldiers with a full grin.

Really now, but in form, the prostitutes have spontaneously assembled to protect her and her country.

That's where my concubines reward me for thanking you.

Soldiers' eyes shine, come on. I'm worried from here.

"It's a friendly dinner party for everyone."

Soldiers, I held my head.

"Dude... what do you mean by this?

"Don't ask me... it's impossible"

A carpet is laid in the square outside the royal palace, where royal palace servants, town daughters, etc. mix up with soldiers to dine and bicker amicably.

But the place lacked one boost right now.

Because the soldiers are not very enthusiastic with the delightful citizens of Biard.

"What are you going to do, Sir Hardlett? The soldiers are confused."

Myra comes stuffed.

The reward of victory is friendly and rice is... although it may be better than the outburst of the title.

Indignant and frightening soldiers will also speak out of dissatisfaction if they calm down.

It is troublesome not to be plundered by Biad on a stomach.

"I still have to do something."

What soldiers want for the reward of victory, etc.

Gold and booze, and... hehe.

"All right, Monica, let's go!

The banquet hall, near Celestina, I hug Monica's shoulder by proclaiming that the soldiers can hear me.

"Yes?

"Just go with me. For Mort and Celestina."

Convince Monica forcefully before holding her sideways.

"What? Huh?

And look back at the soldiers eating with a subtle face and say something.

"You guys do your best to talk a woman down. If you force me to do it, it's punishment."

That's all I have to say, I go into the shadows holding Monica up in the sight of everyone.

"Hey! In my current way!!

"That's fine. I'm not a kid, and the soldiers will be angry with Celestina at dinner."

"Master Hardlett is bad in the first place. Because I blow to His Majesty," The man is most happy when he's with a woman "and so on! So His Majesty gathered women to labor the soldiers..."

Speaking of which, I remember saying.

Did pure Celestina take it as dinner with her... but a man can't be happy unless he puts a piece of his body in a woman.

"Well, well, give me a shout for now. Feel as good as you can."

"There's no way I can do that! Thousands of people were watching! Such an embarrassment, ahhh! Stop. Is there...!?

If this happens, I'm going to have to ask you to really whisper.

I'll make you feel better.

"No, no, no, no. Shh, wow, that's good!

The two of us disappeared, and when Monica gasped, the banquet room seemed to have begun to bother.

I see that's what you mean.

"Sister, why don't you swallow with me!? Of course, there is no lower heart, because there is no"

"Just a moment ahead! Just for a second!

"Hmm, if you could just talk some more fun..."

"I prefer a little more beauty, but it's a celebration and I think I'll compromise"

"What's your annual income? Homeowner or parent living together?

Looks like it's starting to thrive all at once.

Now the soldiers won't have time to be dissatisfied either.

Say there is no rape. The women will be held.

The Malt men would not be calm by nature.

But my army is a little special, and the people of the mountain who make up the bow cavalry are warriors regardless of gender.

And the same thing happens to men and women for the first time after battle.

"Oh, sister, this..."

"It was time for me to have a kid, too. I have to have a child and put it down to suit the elder's glasses. Come on, one shot."

"Are you going to give it a sound already? The malt guy is so sloppy."

"Not yet! I'll do it till you lose your hips!

"You thought you could beat me if there were three of us? Fine, come on!

Eating one man after another to see the noise.

Now we can call it a reciprocal relationship.

"Ahhh no..."

Let's say I offend plenty of Monica in front of me, too.

Next day

As the soldiers turned neat and the women who came to the feast twinkled, I was facing Celia and Leoporto with a tough face.

The cause is a single letter forwarded by Rafen in haste.

That's a letter from Clara, an important source keeping us informed of the war between the Federation and the Empire, but this time it was a little different.

"An Imperial fleet breaks into the North Terriers... destroys the Federation's river fleet..."

"At the same time a massive fortress broke through on land..."

"There's also an Imperial soldier showing up in the west of Albens!

Clara must have diligently collected and written information leaking out of the Marquis of Maraudal.

"What do you think, Leopold?

"I don't know the details of this letter."

"It doesn't have to be accurate. It's your personal opinion."

"We broke through in the south and lost the river. Troops that showed up in the west were probably landed by the fleet. Albens could already be in a critical situation. It's no surprise you fell in a few days."

……

The letter arrived on an emergency flight but still should have been sent out three weeks ago.

I mean, it's already settled.

"The failure of Albens, the largest city in the west, means the loss of a strip. If we lose the right to the river, there's virtually nothing to stop us from reaching the White Capital."

"It's hard to believe that the Federation can do this in no time..."

Myra closes her eyes and groans.

I agree, the Empire had been driven back after many battles against the Federation, but this time it was as if things were different.

Why did this happen?

When I saw the triple walls of the White Capital, I was convinced that there was no such thing as someone who could cross them.

But it's not the Federation I'm really worried about.

"Clara and Claudia... I hope you're okay"

I don't see her very often, but Clara likes me, and even Claudia has given birth to me.

"It's too far away to reach."

If this is what Magrad is doing, I'm going to help.

"There's nothing I can do now. We'll analyze the impact of federal disadvantage, so now focus on the problems of the southern countries."

Leoporto's voice color remains the same.

You don't know how people feel.

I'm sure he's been an angry hungry ghost since he was a kid.

I laugh a little, imagining this guy's faceless face stuck to the kid's body.

"If you come for help, you hit it with all you can. Can't we do anything until then?"

I looked up at the autumn sky deepening to make sure you were safe.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Right after I sent you the letter, Albens.

"Protect the west of town! Send in private soldiers and knights!

"The castle gate has already been destroyed! Fight in the city."

"No reinforcements coming!? Stupid promise... sunk every ship"

Lord Albens, Marquis Marquis' mansion was extremely confusing.

More than a while ago, the Federation had been forced into an overwhelmingly unfavourable battle.

The Empire's marine fleet broke into the North Terriers River, destroying the Federation's river fleet, and the landed Imperial detachment pushed it faster than the news could be passed on in the midst of chaos.

The sudden attack devastated the reserves that had been regrouping outside Albens, further resulting in the ironically siege of the Confederate headquarters, which were still struggling to buy time after being chased by the fortress.

The Confederate forces battle desperately under High Commander Ivan-Garchenko, but eventually perished, scattered and defeated eastward, even among inferior forces, after being pinched back and forth.

This makes it the only private soldiers and knights of the Marquis of Maraudal to defend Albens.

The Marquis is one of the leading aristocrats in the Federation, but private soldiers are about 20,000... the Albens defect was no longer apparent to anyone.

"Marquis...... both pushed in the south of the west, the harbour is marked by fierce shelling by the Imperial Fleet. Please run this far, just your lord. East, we can still open the bloodstream."

Kneeling knights complain to Maraudal Marquis in tears.

The Marquis said quietly, not shifting his gaze from the town, which is on a massive fire due to the fighting.

"You and I... have defended the town as lords and knights from each other's grandfather's grandfather's generation."

All of us bite to death the cry.

Already a large part of the territory has been ravaged and the people have been offended and killed.

And so will Albens.

"We failed in our mission to inherit more than our ancestors... can we abandon this Upper Town and flee?

The Marquis pulled out his sword and threw away his sheath.

"This is our town, we were born here, we die here."

The knights say nothing more.

"Let the people escape if they can, and surrender when the battle is over with. I don't want to rule the scorched earth with the Empire. You can't kill all the people who came down."

The people of the occupied territories will follow a harsh fate.

"But the people have no obligation to protect the land, if you choose to live in humiliation, that's fine too"

But... and the Marquis saw the knights with a strong eye.

"We nobles have no way. One gate, all those who can fight, have weapons! You can't fight a sick man. Let the kid hurt himself."

"" I understand!

There is no hesitation in the eyes of the knights.

They were only on mission to protect the nobility, the territory and the people, and if it was not fulfilled, to destroy the clan royal party.

"My enemies will beat me to the end, but I'm still bored. As soon as we're ready, we're off to a total attack. Let me show you the will of the Federation aristocrats!

Everyone screams one more time and runs to get ready.

Say you're ready to die. There's still work to be done.

"You..."

"Claudia... I wish you were still in White City..."

The Marquis stared sadly at Claudia holding her toddler.

"I will not die yet. I will live until I see this child grow!

It was only natural to let ourselves be harmed before our Lord's rightful wife and his son, the enemy, humiliated us.

Otherwise you won't be able to show everyone.

But a wife who complains she wants to live and a son who is still a toddler...... who can tell her to die?

The Marquis slowly strokes the cheeks of his wife and child before gently kissing them.

And I opened my eyes and screamed.

"The prodigal trinity in the White Capital, you are not my wife! I don't know where he is. He's a horsebone! As far as today is concerned, I'm going to cut you loose and banish you! I'll give you whatever you want about the mansion, so get the hell out of here!

The marquis, turning around and turning back, murmured like a solitary.

"What is truly valuable is gathered underground. Let's burn them down so they don't cross the empire."

"... thank you so much for everything"

Claudia graces her skirt carefully.

She's old enough and out of shape.

But behind the Marquis' brain, at the time of her newlywedding, she was smiling when she saw the ship at the electra where she had gone on a trip.

"I loved you."

He had a voice so small that no one could hear him.

Claudia leaves with her back to the Marquis, who says nothing more.

Likewise, Clara bowed her head deeply before continuing with the Lady.

"Now the untrained are gone. Burn the barbarians of the Empire with my last flame."

The Marquis had a wedding ring shining in his hand that he had never removed from his marriage.

The last counterattack begins.

The overwhelming oligarchs suddenly turned into counter-attacks, creating a slight disturbance in the Imperial siege net.

A little woman and a round woman run like that broken.

"Phew! Phew!"

"Ma'am, I still have too much! You can't get away with this! Let's throw it away!

Claudia wore jewellery underneath her coat, and she even brought jewellery to her body with a cloth.

But the Imperial guerrillas found her and lost her carriage, the weight of which had drained her health tremendously since she was on foot.

He is also slowly starting to lag behind from the luxurious Clara who runs with the baby.

"You idiot! Run away without a sentence and tell me who will accept me or this child!?

"That's right, but there's no ex or kid caught here"

"There he is. There they are!

"Women get caught and have fun! The round one seems like a sign!

The Imperial guerrillas who crushed the carriage are coming after us.

Fortunately, there are no cavalry, but the speed difference between a soldier and two women is obvious and the distance is a dont clog.

"If you scatter the jewels, you can stop..."

But Claudia insists she only runs away with it.

Imperial soldiers were already approaching when the two climbed through the small high hills breathlessly.

Clara looks around from the hills in a hurry, but there are no woods or grass that are likely to be hidden.

It was just a snug, long downhill going east.

So far, Clara puts the baby on the ground and puts her hand on the chest of her clothes.

Hope is faint, but I thought the chaser might leave Madame alone if he went ahead and was offended.

But Claudia sounds happy in her sad readiness and back.

"Shit! Clara, grab it."

Clara and I were about to give up. Claudia runs downhill when we hug the baby.

"No. You can get away with it so much already, yeah!?

It was the first time it was a nosy run, ma'am, but the acceleration keeps following as we run down the ramp.

"Hehe, you can run away now... fast!

"Go after him! No... what a speed!

I see an Imperial soldier approaching. I see him. Going far.

"Oh, ma'am!? This!"

"I would get horse-like speeds if I were downhill. I'm holding this girl tight!

Claudia, who accelerated further, eventually jumped both feet off the ground.

"You're lying, that woman's rolling!

"It's as fast as a horse..."

"to, meatballs"

Far away, the Imperial soldiers give up their pursuit and go home.

Not knowing Claudia's identity and the existence of jewels wrapped around her body, the two women who flee were not opponents worth persevering in pursuit of.

"Oh, ma'am... it's amazing!

"Ha-ha-ha... I sweat... I can't stop sweating... uh-huh, it's hot!

After two days of counter-attacks, Albens fell, and the Marquis of Maraudal and all the gates that led to him ceased.

The Marquis' mansion continues to burn extensively by the fire he himself unleashes, and all his vast wealth becomes charcoal and ends.

Having lost an important supply base and lost the bulk of its power, the Confederate forces withdrew to the north bank of the river.

At last, an offensive battle was about to begin around White Capital.

"I won't forget about my husband... now let's go to Master Hardlett! Hold his child!

"Maybe the Marquis was happy without knowing. Such a terrible woman...... no, nothing, ma'am."
