Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 051 ~ Domo, Holy King's Army Saint-Saint. Harpy Bombers.
Stay on top of the Wall and stare in the direction of the Kingdom of Merinard, where the Harpy Bombers flew away. I still don't see anything in my eyes. I don't know the size of this star, so the distance to the horizon is not clear. I've heard that it's about 5km from Earth. Different heights?
Confirm the mechanism of the swivel cannon with that in mind. No problem. The bolt action rifle is fine. The mounted four-fold scope is zero-in-aiming at a distance of 100 m.
This is actually like a bonus when you mount a four-fold scope to a bolt action rifle in your inventory. When scoped in the inventory, it is invariably zeroed into 100 m with almost no error. I haven't verified whether it will be adjusted to take into account the temperature and other conditions at that time.
"You seem nervous."
I was a little surprised to hear from behind. Turning around, Silfi stood in a fully-armed position, a belt pouch with a regular leather bodysuit, a pail moon, revolver, and a speed loader for the revolver in two kuklini knives. I wear other things like a pochette on my waist.
I see. Killing people... is the first time we've had a war. I've told you over and over, I'm a normal person who's never had a proper fight in my old world. "
"You fought bravely and courageously against a gizma."
"He's not human."
"It's the same. Neither humans nor subhumans nor gizmas change. They're all life."
"I'm sure it would be easier if you could cut it so easily."
I'm not so broken. Maybe. But I don't know, I haven't really felt realistic since I came to this world.
How many days have you spent wandering through the woods, being bogged down by Sylvie, lynched by the mob King Merinard's people, wearing a collar, sleeping with Sylvie, exploring the woods, moving a lot to combat gizmas, getting along with everyone, defeating gizmas, and beginning to move to recapture the kingdom of Merinard...?
Has it been more than two months? It won't be six months. About three or four months?
Every day is far from the life of the planet, exciting and dreamy. I am the only special being in this world that many people need. I am not one of many other people in this world named Yasuke Shibata, but a unique being named Koske.
"What's wrong? Look away."
"No, I don't know. They must have been naïve before the battle."
Something unexpected comes to mind and disappears. I'm sure it's not a decent state of mind. Put the bolt action rifle in the inventory and take out the water from the pet bottle for a sip.
"Do you want some Sylphie?
Ah, I'll take it.
That's what Sylvie said, and he took the bottle from my hand, and he blew it off. Sylvie's throat makes a loud noise and moves glossy.
"What? It's embarrassing to see you like that."
"Bad"
Receive the bottle from Sylphie and place it in the inventory. Again, he looked in the direction in which Harpy and the others flew away. How far is it? I wonder if you can hear the bombing from here.
With that in mind, Sylvie hugged me from behind. Sylvie's arms are spinning around my torso and sticking together perfectly.
"Koske, if it's tough, don't push it. It's funny what I'm telling you. Koske is helping us enough. No, not enough words. You should say that you depend on it. Besides, no one would say that their hands were soiled with blood. I won't let you. So don't push me, Koske."
Sylvie's words were very sweet and deeply permeated her heart. I suppose so. This battle is only the battle of the Sylphies, the people of King Merinard. It is not my turn to be a inhabitant of another world. I have neither the ideals nor the cause to fight. I'm just taking part in this fight for Sylvie.
Dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It is obvious what the sound means. It finally began. The world's first aerial bombardment. Unilateral slaughter from a position where enemies will never counterattack.
"No, Sylvie. Still, I'm responsible."
What?
Touch Sylvie's arm around my torso and grip it gently.
"I knew it would be used in battle, I made a weapon, I gave it to you, I let you use it, I made it, I didn't kill you directly, I'm innocent, I don't understand."
Put your cheeks up for yourself. Prepare yourself, Kosuke Shibata. When this happens, do as much as you can.
Mercilessly, overwhelmingly, efficiently. Build the Corpse Mountain Blood River to end this struggle.
"We've got to get through this before we start. I'll do it."
"... I see. Thank you, Koske."
Sylvie's arms have more power to hold me. I heard a burst of thunder again. The battle is approaching.
"Bombardment successful! You've dealt a huge blow to your pursuers!
Fronte stepped down to the castle wall and rolled up in excitement. The other Harpies who went with us to bomb were generally in the same condition. Your body's feathers are upside down and fluffy because of the excitement. In the meantime, give everyone a bottle of potable water with an open lid to drink.
"I know you're excited, but calm down. You won't be able to bomb calmly in that state of mind."
Harpy and the others look ashamed of me. I think you realized that I told you too much. The wings that stood upside down while drinking water were also coming back.
Pirna and the others are tired too. Drink some water and rest. How about dinner? "
"I haven't eaten."
"Then I'll give you something you can eat easily."
Harpy and the others who accompanied the Liberation Army were also returning to the temporary fort. Five of them. I was accompanying one Harpy scout per Liberation unit, but the fact that everyone is back means that all units are joining us.
Put out the table and put out the wet dumplings and burgers.
"Drink, eat and rest, Pirna and the others. You think Fronte and the others can fly?
"Yes, you can still go!
Well then, let's detonate and launch again. The bombardment targets those who are attacking the Imperial Army first. Without them, the enemy's supply unit and then the enemy's main unit. I have a bomb over there, so I need you to install it. "
On my instructions, Fronte and the others are moving to the blasting area. After I followed him with my eyes, Pilna turned to me with a serious look.
"Haven't you gotten along with Fronte and the others?
"We spent a few days together. I've had a lot of opportunities, and this is how it works."
"... is that so?
Pilna brings a hamburger to her mouth with a subtle expression that feels caught. That's a lot to eat. Perhaps they were turning their food to the liberators as much as they could.
"It was a little overcrowded, but you did a good job. How was Fronte's bombing?
"Nh, yes. Let me tell you something."
It seems that Pilnah and the others were captured by the Holy King's Army this morning.
Pilnah said that since the soldiers of the Holy King's Army who were stationed in the rock salt mine in Binisk were not left behind, personnel were dispatched from the neighboring city to the rock salt mine, which probably made them suspicious of the loss of communication.
Once it's discovered, it's easy to track. Eight hundred or more people moved anyway. You can't hide it. Not to mention that the number has swelled to more than 1,000 by now. Sir Leonard thought it was inevitable that he would be pursued at a slow pace.
"All units except the 5th unit that had returned earlier, as originally planned, merged, the 6th unit led the liberation people, and the remaining 4 units served as the Imperial Army. Food and water were tough, but I managed to keep them patient until they got here."
"Don't worry about that. We have plenty of water and food. I can get everybody there."
"That's good... after the chase."
The first one I hit was still a fast cavalry. A hundred horsemen attacked us all at once from behind. In contrast, under the command of Sir Leonard, arrows were fired from approximately 40 improved crossbows. More than half of the projectiles hit the cavalry and their horses, and about 20 cavalry dropped in the first shot.
Twenty grenade attacks followed. The grenades that exploded one after the other struck the cavalry, causing the riders to panic even more. The sudden explosion surprised the horse, and the rider continued to swing.
Twenty more grenades were thrown in there. More than half of the cavalry was defeated in this attack, and the cavalry, whose morale had collapsed, collapsed and retreated. A crossbow arrow was shot in the back, further increasing the damage.
"It was a big shot to defeat the cavalry."
"Yes, it was huge that we were able to crush the assault in reverse. You remember the threat to the power of the Crossbow and the grenade, because the cavalry stopped raiding. All I had to do was keep my distance and follow me. I think the enemy squadron was going to wait for the squadron and push it in a few minutes because it was faster than the liberators."
"By the way, what is the size of the enemy army you're chasing?
"A cavalry of 100, an infantry of 600, and an archer of 200. It's an approximate number."
If I caught up with you, I wouldn't have missed a chance.
No matter how many crossbows and grenades we have, Sir Leonard and Schmel with overwhelming force are no match for the violence. Even with five troops, with less than 60 men each, it will be rubbed to pieces in one shot.
"Fronte and the others showed up when they were about to catch up. There was still a short distance between the pursuers and the Imperial Army, so Fronte and the others did not hesitate to drop a bomb near the front row of the enemy. The official version was incredibly powerful. The main enemy forces were half-destructed in one blow."
Well, I don't think it can be prevented by iron armor.
The Happy aerial bomb has a radius of approximately 25 meters. If we bomb five people well enough to avoid a bombing range, an army of about 800 people in a dense formation would be half destroyed with a single strike. Even if you wear metal armor, you can't escape imminent death if you're near an explosive site.
"Another hit to the enemy's main force, which was disrupted by the sudden bombing, and the pursuers were almost destroyed."
"Oh, really? So there was no point in having Fronte and the others redeploy?
If the cavalry and the enemy's main forces are destroyed, they won't have to attack this fort anymore.
"No, I don't think it makes sense. More soldiers of the Holy King's Army will die."
"Oh...."
Speaking of which, Pirna is a clean army. Have you no mercy on the enemy soldiers?
"Ah, don't you want to take prisoners?
"I took it when I was in the Royal Merinard Army, but now what? There are no conventions on warfare or the treatment of prisoners."
Pilnah says that it is doubtful whether the Holy King will take the prisoner and make any deal with the Holy King in the first place, rather than accept the deal as it stands. Even with the people freed this time, our number is only a small force of about 1300.
Apart from substantial combat and production capabilities, 1,300 people are a small town population. From the Holy King's kingdom with its vast territory and many dependencies, it is a small force like a nose. I don't think we're going to get to an equal table.
"Besides, even if you were alive after that attack, it would feel like you're losing your bug breath or something in your limbs... I don't think we can afford to take care of those prisoners. Perhaps the greatest mercy would be to let you cum to shorten the time you have to suffer."
"The world is familiar....."
"It's not like we're bothering you. They belong to Her Royal Highness, the Merti Home Secretary, Da Nang and Leonard."
That's true, too.
Listening to Pilna, I honestly gave up thinking about the prisoner. Though it may be frustrating, this is the result of the battle, even though it was one-sided. No matter how harsh a fate is, no matter how hard you join the battle as a soldier, you will be tolerated.
"Well, I've had enough rest, and I'll be there."
"Huh? Are you going?
"Of course. This is your chance to remind them of the Holy Kingdoms."
Pilna laughed nicely and took the rest of the Harpy to the bombing area. It feels like there's no mercy in killing the Holy King's Army... and I won't let Pirna get angry. Mm-hmm.
I swore to myself as I stared at the Pilnas who were flying happily with the aerial bomb.
