Survival in Another World With My Master

"Collision is inevitable, but the problem is dropping."

I see.

That's true.

It's easy to start a war. The difficulty is to end the war. War exhaustion, the depletion of supplies, popular support, securing imperatives, and other national interests, as well as leaders' and national pride, are intertwined.

"Of course this leader is going to be Silfi, but who the hell is that leader?

"Of course it would be Saint Alfred III to be the supreme leader, but in this case it would be the First Consul ruling the kingdom of Merinard."

"You must be Consul Aureus. He's a pig who squeezes his people to the brink of fattening his own stomach."

It's kind of a spicy word for a gentlemanly Sir Leonard.

"Originally, it would be better for leaders to meet with each other to come to an agreement... but I don't think so."

That's right. There is too much difference in the size of the force. "

From the other side, it seems like insects that are not enough to take a small force of about 1300 people. I don't think we'll get to a reciprocal negotiating table.

"You can't even ask a third country for an intermediary."

"That's the same reason. Nothing can be gained by mediating an influential opponent. We must expand our forces and have enough leverage to equate with the state."

I've known this before, but it's not easy. But, well, there's something I can do if I don't choose the means.

"For the record, is there a custom of pre-war rhetoric or declarations of war in this world?

"Before the war, messengers and commanders with white flags face to face to advise each other to surrender immediately or to engage in tongue battles."

"Do you think we'll do that this time?

"I don't think so. From their point of view, we are supposed to be remnants of the rebels that destroyed us three years ago. It would be treated like a rioting thief."

"Oh... there's absolutely no room for discussion."

"If we can talk to them, the kingdom of Merinard is not a kingdom."

Sylvie shrugged her shoulders with a sarcastic smile. Hmm, I guess so.

"Well, now we just have to show off our power. Koske, start working as you please."

"Eye Mom"

Needless to say, what I'm about to do is blow up this fort. I'm going to set up explosive blocks everywhere and blow this fort up without a trace. Every soldier in the Holy King's Army.

The problem is how to detonate it, but what do we do now? There are only two ways to safely and securely detonate remotely. One is the explosion using timed fuses. Set how many hours before detonation and detonate the explosive block at the specified time.

Experiments have shown that explosive blocks within the effect range of explosive blocks explode in chains, so if properly placed, all explosive blocks can be detonated by detonating the first one.

The other is a switch explosion using a Mithrill copper alloy circuit that Isla created with her cooperation. It can be detonated instantly by connecting explosive blocks and detonating magic tools with the wiring of high magic conductivity mythrill copper alloy and pressing the switch.

This can also be interlocked with the trap switch of the building block, so you can use it when you step on the floor, or when you press the switch on the wall.

The problem is the high cost of materials. The amount of metal used for wiring misryl copper alloy is trivial, but the consumption is not fashionable when stretched to 100m and 200m. I have the courage to use it almost as disposable as this time. Well, I can't change my stomach to my back.

"Well, what's going on..."

Ideally, the bombing would be with all the troops of the Holy King's Army in the fort. Nevertheless, 5000 people will not enter this fort in any way. We can afford this base, but this fortress would be a good place for less than 1,000 elites. Still, it must be fascinating for them not to worry about being attacked by gizmas.

I'm sure you'll be vigilant, but if our retreat is confirmed, there will definitely be some sort of manpower entering this fort.

"Set a trap in the back of the pantry, or time explode... well, time explode is good."

It would be better to set it to detonate in the middle of the night after sunset. Time bombs and other traps should not yet exist in this world. There should be no way to be alert. If we keep exploring the fort and find no one lurking, the fort will be used.

It would be better to set up a fuse to detonate in the middle of the night and retreat. Explosives must be installed to completely destroy the fort and cause widespread damage.

"Well, it's best to place explosive blocks inside the barrier."

Pull through the inside of the 3m thick barrier and install explosive blocks evenly. They also blend explosive blocks into the walls of the interior facility. It says "TNT" as much as you can, but I don't think this is a dangerous product. Nobody will think about trying to light a fire. You don't think so?

"What's the matter, Koske? It solidifies there."

While thinking about placing explosive blocks on the walls of the dormitory, Silfi was worried about the installation work.

"No, I was worried there might be an idiot who could set this thing on fire before the blast."

"I think it's okay... but if you're worried, why don't you write it down as no fire?

"That would still be suspicious."

Laughing at Silfi's suggestion. I wouldn't be afraid to enter a fortress with a wall that says no fire anywhere. Well, let's just keep it that way. You'll be fine, maybe. We can't get everyone involved, and if one of the explosive blocks explodes, it will detonate and the fort will blow up without a trace. We need to get them involved, and if we can dismantle this makeshift fortress, we'll get there.

There are some words for drowning in a ploy, so let's place a block so we can blow it up securely, yeah.

"Ah, would you please send everyone a fire ban notice? If you explode while we're in the boulders, it won't be stylish."

"Mmm, that's for sure."

It's no joke to accidentally make a mistake and have them all blown up.

The installation of explosive blocks and the retrieval of materials ended without delay, the next day. The Harpy team, which was on enemy reconnaissance first thing in the morning, detected the enemy's movement.

"The cavalry is 1,000, the infantry and the archers together are 4,000, and the heavy troops are 500. The total is 5500."

"Hmm, more than five times as many liberators as escaped. You haven't seen the Black Forest until now, have you?

"Probably a force premised on the attack on this fort. I thought you were going to use this fortress as a bridgehead to hunt us down."

"What's your ETA?

"Let's set up a formation a short distance from this fort before sundown and attack it tomorrow morning."

"Hmm... how do we move?"

It is very bad to make a mistake in drawing. If the Cavalry 1000 cavalry chases me, I won't be able to stand a chance.

"You can run away from the tunnel. You're gonna stand up here and run until about noon tomorrow?

"That's right... if you run with absolutely no resistance, you might be suspicious."

"I don't think so. They know we have information in the eyes of Harpy."

I see. Because of the huge difference in boycott power, it's more unnatural not to run away... hmm, let's start right now. Koske, can we set the timeline tomorrow night?

"I can do it."

"Then do it. I want to leave some food in the warehouse to disguise as the escaped wind."

"Okay."

The evacuation work began rapidly, and after thirty minutes everyone was ready to leave. There were about fifty men left in this fort. There was no confusion because everyone was a fairly trained soldier and there was movement of the enemy, and depending on the movement of the enemy, they were notified in advance that they would retreat immediately.

"The truth is, I want to see the results with my own eyes."

"Of course I do, but we can't both be in danger."

"At your best."

If Silfi and I were pursued by the cavalry, we would be able to escape, and I think they would be fine because of the chaos after the bombing, but Sir Leonard was angry at the rumor that the top leaders and the main points of the station would remain in a dangerous place. Well, that's right. Absolutely correct.

So we created a safe surveillance post where about three people could stay where we could see the fort, and we left about three of them there. We also have a time-bound explosive device, and when we see it, we plan to blow it up and leave no trace.

"Well then, Your Highness. I'm asking you to stay and not observe."

"Okay, okay. Don't push me again and again."

Silfi smiles back at Sir Leonard's face.

"Even Koske? Absolutely? If you break your promise, you can tell Merti."

All right, don't do that.

Me and Sylphie are weak to Merti. Sylphie means childish, and I mean black boss. Isn't the Liberation Army Merty the strongest?

Separate from Sir Leonard's troops to be withdrawn and move on a small high rocky mountain a little further away with the Harpy team. You won't get attacked by gizmas here, and you have a good view.

"Shouldn't we go through the rocky mountain to make sure it doesn't stand out?

Well, let's try that.

It is also important to respond ad hoc. Scaffolding out of sight from the makeshift fort, making entrances, shaving the interior of the rocky mountain with a sawmill, and making rooms. And if you can make some peep windows so that you can see the side of the temporary fort, you can install water fields and furniture, and just in case, you can install explosive devices, and you can complete the surveillance station.

"Was it a little too elaborate?

"Sure, it's kind of a shame to blow it up. But later, if the Holy King's Army finds out and uses it, it'll be a mess."

That's true, too.

It seems to have been decided between Pirna and Brown Feather Frame and Pessar.

"I'll see you the day after tomorrow."

Um, be careful.

"Be really careful. Be careful not to get hurt."

Yes!

Break up with the three and follow Sir Leonard and the rest of the Harpy. I'm a jumper, and Sylphie runs normally. Harpy and the others are flying.

We spent a lot of time building surveillance stations, but we were able to rendezvous before they arrived at the fourth shelter. Looks like I was just taking a little break for lunch.

We'll have a light lunch, and we'll all walk to the fourth shelter. Along the way, a ringtone started ringing from the Golem transmitter I was carrying. Behind the eyes of the PLA soldiers, who were looking at me curiously, I held the Golem transmitter I was carrying and started communicating.

"This is Koske."

"Nh, I'm connected. I was worried."

It was a transmission from Isla. I'm sure this voice is right.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't get to the makeshift fort."

Yes. Are you okay? Are you hurt?

"Everyone's fine. The enemy has moved, trapped the fort and is now retreating. Pilnah and Harpy will be in a position where we can monitor the fort and confirm the outcome before rendezvous. Otherwise, head for the fourth shelter and we'll be there soon."

"Nh, okay. What is the size of the enemy?

"A total of 5500 yen. The cavalry is 1,000, the infantry and the archers together are 4,000, and the weight is 500."

A lot

I see. But I think it's okay. Fort Front Line is perfectly secured. "

"Nh... okay. I'll tell her.

"Please."

Finish communication and rebound the Golem communicator. Naturally, my curious gaze was focused on me. Isn't it? I understand.

"This is the latest work by the R&D department, and as you can see, it's a tool to talk to people in remote places. This is a transmission from Fort Front Line. I don't know how it works. They're going to be deployed on the front lines in the future."

I explained everything I knew before I was attacked by a question, but in the end I was attacked by a question. No, I don't think so. At least for a while.

Yeah, but maybe it's good to broadcast on the radio. Build equipment specifically for reception, set up a high-output antenna at this base where you can use a lot of magic, and broadcast at a dedicated frequency. Let the liberators, who are good at songs and instruments, play music. Let's make a plan when we get back, yeah.

I arrived at the fourth shelter while thinking about it. Sylvie and I are the only ones who set up a condominium outside the shelter, alone tonight. I'm looking forward to it, but there's something I need to talk to you about before I do. You mean Harpy and the others, Ira and the war that's coming.

I don't think I'm nervous enough that war comes after sex. Well, I haven't had a direct exchange of life... should I really bother you a little more?

Well... what did I tell you?
