The sky in Wangdu began to cloud around noon, and by evening began to soak up the potatoes and the ground.

A single flying dragon rushed into the royal castle.

It is a decree released from the town of Urs.

Continuing report I've been waiting for. Everyone in the castle and the martial arts wanted to know what happened to the demon army that attacked them with the widows.

- The town of Sourel has fallen.

In the words of the messenger, many doubted their ears.

This is what happens.

The demonic army, which appeared near the town of Sourel, lined up to surround the walls.

Even so, there can be no total siege.

Dragon Nation has more soldiers than originally. There are also dragons in town.

Even without a caged castle, the lord thought that a battle would kick his ass.

"I'll leave you to extraction."

The lord appointed the most trusted martial officer as general and sent reports of enemy shadow discoveries to the town of Urs.

The general will necessarily meet his expectations. That's what I thought.

But something was happening that made me hesitate to open the end of the war.

It is the presence of hostages.

It is a well-known fact that the demonic army attacked the villages and uprooted the villagers.

What is the intent?

Naturally, it was possible.

"We're shielding the villagers, but let's do it."

Looking down from the top of the castle wall, I could see that there were villagers almost evenly within the demonic army.

If we launch an attack here, there will be no life for the hostages.

In the first place, the Demon Nation Army is attacking villages first for that.

"What's the enemy's purpose?

"We're asking for the door to be opened"

"... even if we got the town with those hands, we'd be governed."

"I'm being hunted down, so I guess I can't pretend"

As a defensive side, I could almost exactly understand the mood of the Demon Army, but that doesn't make things any better.

The Demon Nation Army is demanding that the door be opened, showing an attitude that if it is not fulfilled, it will kill one hostage at a time.

Hostages are only worth it if they live, and if they kill them, it doesn't make sense, but if the Demon Nation Army was so hunted down, they thought they could do it.

There is no time. If they don't make a decision, they'll kill the hostages to show off.

There are many soldiers on the walls.

I asked the soldiers to confirm that many of the hostages were known.

They are genuine, the people of the dragon kingdom.

It's not a good idea not to give any answers and just let the hostages kill.

The General made a decision.

- Attack.

Even though they took hostages, they can't dawn the castle.

The general did not inform the lord, and made the defensemen attack him because he would take all responsibility.

"Destroy your enemies as soon as possible and help many villagers alone"

It was an order to the best of its ability.

The defense team was attacked once and for all, and the unpredictable Demon Army was delayed in responding.

As a result, although nearly half the lives of hostages were lost, many demon soldiers were defeated and defeated.

"Divide the saviors into villages, let them see their faces, and then let them in."

Accommodate the hostages while making sure the enemy is not distracted.

Warm soup behaved the villagers trembling in the rain of fear and cold.

The next morning, the town was occupied by the demon army.

"What do you mean? Thanks to a little more detail"

"Ha, the rain kept shaking hard until dawn, and in the darkest hours before dawn, the gate suddenly opened. From there, the demon army slipped in, and the rest was taken over uncontrollably."

When I heard the word of the preaching, they all tilted their necks. Why did that happen?

"Was there a demon soldier in the hostage?

"No."

Then why did the castle gate open from the inside?

The gate was shut tight, and more than ten soldiers were defending it, he said.

Dozens of soldiers patrolled the walls, many watching to reassure the whole town.

In that state, what did you put away?

"The hostages... the hostages have opened the gates"

The hostages held exceed a thousand.

"Ba, silly"

"How could that be?"

They are the villagers of the Dragon Nation, and they have no stepchildren or obligation to assemble into the Demon Nation Army.

Then why did you cooperate?

"Maybe... they were taking hostages?

That's all I can think of.

"Yes, friends, family, lovers… it seems that many have been taken hostage and forced to take action"

"How outrageous"

"Not only did you use the hostage to try to get the castle gate to open, but you were acting until you took hostage to that hostage?"

"That's not all. The daytime battle was just another demonic civilian being held hostage and acting like a soldier."

……

Demon soldiers kicked in the daytime battle.

They are civilians of the demonic kingdom.

They also took the close ones hostage, and they obeyed.

Now I think the counterattack was too crude.

"In the end, the demon soldier's wear and tear was equal to zero, and after they opened the castle gate, they occupied the lord's hall at once"

"Even the demonic soldiers who were exterminated were taking their families hostage and just pretending to be soldiers"

…………

In other words, only those who were taken hostages and had to obey them reluctantly were there.

"Are they all victims?"

"How disgusting"

That's what I said. It's late.

It's not so much about winning an operation as it is about coming up with so many nasty hands.

Upon hearing the report, Lithwarn issued a decree to each town, "Never open the castle gate, no matter what".

At the same time, he compiled a detailed history and immediately let Wang Capital fly the decree.

"I must tell Her Majesty the Queen."

"But if it fell not only to the town of Horris, but also to the town of Sourel..."

"In this difficult time"

It is an unexpected damage caused by the mundane invasion of the demonic kingdom.

It is a means that cannot be adopted given the sentiments of the inhabitants, such as, in particular, taking hostages and trying to make them open the gates.

"What do they think of post-occupation rule?"

"No, there's no hippo talking about that right now. If residents know that two cities have been dropped, the upset will spread."

"But you can't keep it hidden."

We have to take it back now.

It is the same with the dragon kingdom that can't be pretended.

"Hand Wet in Current Handling"

Civilians and martial arts officers of the castle said so in solidarity.
