Episode 28

Generals of the Third Division have gathered in Lünheit for the final consultation on the capture of Tuban.

We rent a room in the house of Taisho, and we check the procedure.

"I don't know how thick the Tuban gate is."

The vampire queen, Senior Melene, leans her hand on her cheek.

Seniors are the master's apprentices and masters of necromancy, and they have demonstrated talent in negotiations and strategy, but they are almost amateurs in tactics.

"Senior, remember yourself and this gate."

"Bernehainen's gate is just a grate ..."

Berne Heinen, famous as an ancient city and scenic, has no magical appeal at all, and seems to have been enough with that level of defense.

It's not a problem if the gate is about the gate of Lünheit, but it is a city that has continued to develop new technologies as a studio in Mirardia.

It won't be that easy.

Merlene's strength lies in turning humans into vampires and turning them into servants.

Rather, you can hardly expect anything else. The only way to win is to turn an enemy commander into a vampire and betray him.

The vampires in this world have nothing to do with sunlight or the holy sign, but they can't fly and can't transform. Surprisingly plain.

"Weid, you thought you didn't help me now?"

"Don't you think?"

"Even if you don't break the gate, Senpai jumps over the gate ... I wonder if it's a Soul Shaker."

It was the new disciple Filneel who said so comfortably. This horse-like girl seems to be coming to the city for the first time and is now obsessed with smelling windowpanes.

"That was originally a way to gain an edge in magical battles. The range of effect is not so wide and it is impossible to fire repeatedly."

I also know that there are a lot of large fixed crossbows on the walls of Tubaan.

If a big dart like a javelin stabs into a key point, no matter how much a werewolf I die.

"I guess it will be a crushing strategy with skeleton soldiers at first."

The one who muttered it was our master, great sage Gomoviroa.

A master who can summon the dead's army endlessly is a walking logistics base.

However, even if all other public affairs are neglected, only about a hundred can be replenished per day. If you lose a thousand, your teacher will not be able to do anything for ten days.

The chief executive cannot just recruit troops.

In fact, the Demon King has no know-how in siege.

Of course. Until this time, the group had been skirmishing with human demons in the frontiers.

No one has ever experienced a siege attack on a fortified city.

Well, it's similar on the human side, and there shouldn't be any castle attackers in Milaldia anymore. It's been a long time since the Unification War.

What's most worrisome is the worries common to demons.

You can't change your army.

For example, the human horses are excellent cavalry, but cannot enter the city and dismount. It is natural that I am not riding a horse separately.

On the other hand, the bow cavalry proud of Tuban can be operated as a bow infantry if you get off.

This difference has always been a decisive factor, and demons in the past have continued to lose war with humans.

Speaking of which, even in the previous game, demonic units had a low growth rate, limited equipment, few types of troops to choose from, and so on.

In the industrial city of Tuban, the main street is widely used for loading materials, but the town seems to be jumbled with various large and small workshops.

This is an unfavorable environment for horsemen who cannot make small turns. Engagement after the rush will be quite tough.

That is why we can not afford to consume too much by breaking through the castle gate.

On the other hand, skeletal soldiers can be disposable and can be fought easily even in a small place, but because they are fully automatic fighting dolls, they cannot make detailed decisions.

Putting them into a city war would result in a massacre, because they could not distinguish between civilians and guards and would not understand surrender.

Our mission is occupation, not destruction or slaughter.

If you call a giant stoned soldier from the second division, you can easily crush it as much as the castle gate, and if you have a dragon soldier of the first division, it will be easier to fight the city, but unfortunately neither situation can be called.

Most of the powerful demons have their own soldiers for each race, and their inability to operate as flexibly as humans is a pain.

My wolf squad is small, and the dog squad doesn't have much of a strength. Merlene's vampire squad is not good at fighting straight ahead. It also has duties in each unit and occupied territory.

It's hard to be able to fight in an ideal situation, but it is our commander's job to manage it.

Well, what happened?

Although an operation plan to break through the gate is ready, the lack of information on the strength of the gate, etc. makes it less reliable.

In the urban warfare ... I have no choice but to put in a human fleet with preparedness for damage. Filneel seems to be ready.

Just as he was still hesitant to do the damage, Filneel glanced away at Senior Melene.

"Um, Meleene ... I wonder if Meleene would make Tubarn Vampire a vampire?"

The language is different from my one.

Apparently my senior was scolding me.

Looking closely, Filneel is painfully rubbing his back. He seems to have been beaten at the first meeting.

Senior Melene showed a little thought, but immediately shook her apologetically.

"Well, I can't do it a little bit. It's okay because the surprise was successful, but now the human side is already on alert. Both me and the Vite will lose their identity with simple magic."

Humans haven't been fighting us for hundreds of years.

If you are a magician, you can use it even at the apprentice level. It's easy to tell that we're demons.

That is why our werewolf ancestors left the city, and their descendants stuck in the hiding village.

Eventually, the conference took the form of an alumni reunion, and the topic seemed to be nostalgic.

We're gathering like a university lab, so I don't know, but I really want to make a plan ...

At that time, the door was knocked, and Iria entered the room with caution.

"I will see you first. Ilia Rütte Eindorf of Lünheit. We have a small dinner but we will have dinner. Please come to the dining room later."

Immediately, the appearance of a beautifully dressed woman turns the colors of women.

"Wait, this beautiful girl is the keeper of this place !? Why didn't you tell me! Cool, cool!"

"When you see a beautiful girl, she tries to suck blood without regard to gender.

If Iria becomes a vampire, my governing policy will be fundamentally disrupted. I need her to stay human.

"Teacher, are you sure you're hot?"

"Well, how about. The guy is a hard thing. Yes, an interesting story from the training period ..."

The little teacher and the little horse girl are talking happily with their childlike faces. It's like a junior high school student in love.

"Ilia is an important strategic partner on the coordination route with the Demon King! I want you to stop such evil! I'm sorry to her!"

`` Is it a partner of Senpai !? ''

"That's why I'm not evil!"

I continued to be suspicious of Ilia until then, when everyone returned.

I failed to make an important proposal, but I will prepare it for myself. It's impossible to get a group of sorcerers to plan a siege. I don't have any specialized knowledge.

Despite growing in size, the Demon King's army still lacks human resources.

At the next audience, we will propose to the Demon King to develop a siege attack that matches the characteristics of the Demon King Army. Absolutely.

While preparing for the sortie, I swore so.
