Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 058 - The Flash They See
"So, this is going to be a big story, but the next one is about war."
Now that we've finished talking about sex, we're going to talk about war. This is much easier for me to talk to than sex. It may be said that the awareness of the parties is weak.
Yeah, I think we should talk about that.
Sylvie has a serious look on her face and she's going to listen to me. Hmm, this temperature difference.
"I talked to Lord Leonard in the morning, and he concluded that whether we negotiate or ask another country to mediate, we have to show our strength first."
I see. We are a remnant of the insurgency that they cannot afford right now. Perhaps I can say thief who obstructs the rule of the kingdom. They won't negotiate properly with them. "
Sylphie said that I would not negotiate from the other party's point of view. Hmm, that's right. If you ask them, we're like terrorists. We have our claims and our justice, but they have their claims and their justice.
"Demonstrating power means, frankly, killing soldiers of the Holy King's Landing."
I see. You don't like koske?
"I don't think people die much, but it won't be that easy."
The Holy King has already conquered the kingdom of Merinard and made it a cornerstone of effective rule as a kingdom. Twenty years have passed since the kingdom of Merinard was nationalized. Unless it is a long-lived species, young humans at that time should already be 40 to 50 years old. Many parties will have died of life expectancy, injury, or illness.
It is possible that the current generation of King Merinard's people is becoming less aware of the parties to the war because of the flow of time, and that after twenty years, some Holy King's people will have moved from the Holy King's kingdom and have already lowered their roots. It is easy to predict that the take-back of the land will not take place in a single line.
"We'll have to explore the drop… So, after all, have we been able to contact the former soldiers of the human race hiding in the kingdom of Merinard?
"There are no such reports. If they're hiding, it's probably an urban area, so I don't think they've been able to make contact this time. I don't think they're close to the city or the city."
"I see... well, I can't stand the door in people's mouths. The strategy of the rock salt mine will be quite topical, and the rumors will gradually spread... no, if they spread the rumors, I think we should set them up here."
"Would you like me to spread it? What do you mean by that? You want an operative to infiltrate?
Sylvie leans her neck. Surely one hand is to infiltrate the operative. However, it seems that the Beast Merinard kingdom is being held in slavery in the middle of the day, and that would be a very risky operation.
"How about scattering birds out of the sky? At the heart of Omit's wilderness lies a new heaven and earth created by Silfi. King Merinard, now is the time to gather."
Do you use Happy again? Koske loves Harpy, doesn't he?
"Airborne maneuvers are simply powerful, aren't they?
Of course I like Harpy and the others, but I don't actively integrate them into the operation because I like them. Simply because it's useful, we need to integrate it into the operation.
"But it might be a useful way to make our claims and intentions widely known. Paper is expensive... but can you make a lot of costumes?
I can afford it.
It is easy to craft large volumes of paper using fibers that can be harvested from various grasses and leaves. It is difficult to write each piece by hand, but wooden printing will make it easy to mass produce billets.
Well, let's make a suggestion as soon as we get to the front line hub.
"That's good."
At the end of the story, I noticed that the contents of the bottle were close to the sky when I tried to replace the honey liquor. It seems that she was drinking a considerable amount at some point. Speaking of which, I also feel quite drunk. We're still far from the limit.
You're out of beer, too.
"Well, do you want more?
"No... that's enough, right?
She smiled like Sylphie invited her. No, you're actually asking me out. It's been a long time since I've spent time with Sylvie. Be sincere.
Side ~ Pirna ~
We spent the night after Mr. Koske and Her Royal Highness left, and the three of us were on a temporary fortress surveillance mission in the morning. Yesterday, I was able to eat the delicious noodles that Mr. Koske left me, but from now on, I have to spend time with block cookies, dried meat, and dried fruit. Block cookies are also quite delicious, but they're no match for Habanaga.
"Captain, will Mr. Koske accept us?
Pessar looks at the makeshift fort and asks. This kid is always fine and has a little chat. He is also a bright and good child, and a mood maker in the team.
Well, I hope you do that.
I dye my cheeks thinly and red with flame. I'm sure you're imagining what it would be like to have such a relationship with Mr. Koske.
This child has very good eyes at night and good eyes. Skilled at flying on it, it can fly almost silently and quickly. He's a very good kid, but he's a little dragged in and imaginative... to put it mildly.
Like a werewolf or a cat beast, the feathers stretching out of your head are glittering. It is very easy to understand because that feather moves when the delusion gets intense.
"When it comes to Fronte, Her Royal Highness seems positive that Ms. Koske has a relationship with us, and she seems to be interested in us, so I'm sure she'll be fine."
When I asked him desperately, he said that he had let me sleep with the magic of the dark spirits and "study" various things... but when I first heard the story, I felt regrettable and about to go mad. But then I took a bath with Mr. Koske... fufu, so cute.
Mr. Koske doesn't call us toilet birds, and he uses us very heavily. And it gave us unparalleled power. At first, it was a light request to create a weapon that could be used by us, but what Mr. Koske made was something far more amazing than I imagined.
"Mr. Koske, that's good...."
Frame clapped her hands on her cheeks and murmured with a soft expression. Mr. Koske is a very mysterious man. Black hair like the night sky, black eyes, strange powers, weapons, tools you've never seen or heard of, and a flexible idea of cooking knowledge.
Diligent, gentle, and honest. There is a starting point that the attitude toward women is not rubbed either. But I also have the courage to challenge Gizma from the front. Mmm, I'm not being frank, but when I think about Mr. Koske, I'm starting to want to see his face.
You mustn't. I'm on an important mission right now. Surveillance missions are boring, but don't ignore them. Mr. Koske will be disappointed.
"I agree with that, but we need to prioritize our mission now."
"Yes, but I'm bored for a while.
"Still, you don't want Mr. Koske to disappoint you, do you?
Well, that's true.
The Holy King's Army can't find us, so we can't fly there and watch what happens to the Holy King's Army. We're going to keep an eye on the temporary fort from the station.
There was no movement for a while, but in about two hours the Holy King's army appeared near the makeshift fort. They have formed a formation to surround the fort and are alert to attacks from the fort. However, it soon became apparent that there were no signs of people in the fort, and the infantry began to distance themselves with their shields in place.
I don't see any siege weapons.
"Last time we defeated, we were still at a distance from the fort, so maybe we didn't see the fort."
Our bombing caused the Holy King's Army a great deal of chaos, and we probably couldn't afford to worry about it. I don't suppose there were that many survivors.
"Ah, the stand was pulled out."
"Looks like we're taking it to the Commander."
The plaque standing in front of the gates of the makeshift fortress contained the demands of our Liberation Army and warnings. Our demands are the return of the kingdom of Merinard and the expulsion of His Majesty's army and His Majesty's people, as well as the liberation of His Majesty's people. As far as warnings are concerned, we regard the invasion of this temporary fortress as an act of hostility by the Holy King's Army and an entry into a state of engagement. A declaration of war rather than a warning?
The commander of the Holy King's Army, who saw the contents of the stand, slammed it on the ground and trampled.
"Ah, already. I'll do something terrible."
"I think it's natural for them to do it."
Apparently, the Holy King's Army didn't bring any ladders. The gates are tightly closed and we seem to be discussing how to break in. Whether you want to climb or not, that castle wall is almost untouched and slightly inclined, so it will be difficult to climb.
It seems to have invaded by hooking the improvised hooked rope onto the barrier. I think it would have been easier if there were magicians who could use wind magic, but aren't they in there?
Looks like there's no magician?
Well, I don't think you're seeing that.
"You don't think we need each other."
The Wizard Troop is a tiger son of the Holy King's Army. Yeah, well, maybe this isn't the only way to go out into the Omit wilderness around here.
It was not long before the fort was overrun after the soldiers entered. The gates of the castle are opened and the infantry forces are collapsing. All that's left of the makeshift fort is a little food and furniture. The water field where as much water springs up has been removed without trace by Mr. Koske, and poison and soil are thrown into the well dug to hide the unnaturalness. I've just dug it in the first place, so the water is cloudy and I can't use it.
The cavalry tracked Sir Leonard's trail and ran, but perhaps they won't be able to catch up with the Koskes. There's a danger of being attacked by a gizma, and we can't go deep.
The cavalry came back after a while. Infantry is moving around the fort and beyond, but there are no signs of marching. Apparently, they're staying here today. I'm sure you were satisfied with the whole intact and splendid fortress. It can also be used as a bridgehead to attack the Omit Great Wilderness.
But that will kill them.
Nothing in particular happened, and the sun fell and it got dark. It seems that they decided to form a formation around the fort, as no more than 5000 troops could enter the fort on the boulder. He dug the borehole until the sun fell, made a earthen base, and prepared for the gizma. The campfire is also sparkling.
"Is it really going to explode?
"I don't think Mr. Koske will hurt you."
"Yes, that's right. Mr. Koske..."
It happened before Frame could say anything.
First the flash ran, and the blast flame rose. Then the roar and shock are transmitted. Explosions occurred not once, but many times in chains. Every time you hear a roar, a shock strikes your chest.
Pessar, Frame, and I were just overwhelmed by the sight. It was supposed to be a very short time from the start to the end of the explosion, but I feel like I've been watching it for a long time.
"Su, wow...."
"Wow... there's no sign of the makeshift fort"
"It's much more amazing than I expected, Mr. Koske...."
As Frame said, the explosion literally left no trace of the temporary fort. All that remains is the exploded ground, the wreckage of the fort, and the wreckage of the Holy King's Army that spreads around it. Mr. Koske said that the Holy King's Army outside the fort might not have done much damage, but as far as I can tell, none of them are safe.
"Uh, uh... okay, Captain, what do I do?
"Frame, scout in the dark as planned. I think it might be okay to try not to find it, but take the altitude so you can't shoot it with a bow."
"Ha, yes...."
Frame flies almost silently from the entrance. She's not always confident, but she's really good. You could be a little more confident.
"Captain Pirna, Mr. Koske is amazing."
"Wow, that sounds like a warm word."
How much damage has been done to the Holy King's Army... At least I don't think the soldiers in the fort are alive. It's something other than tribes if it's alive.
Frame came back after a while. I don't know how miserable it was, but I look pale.
"How was it?
"And I don't think the fort has any traces, and I don't think there were 20% of the soldiers who were working properly."
"Almost all of it....."
Of the 5500-20%, about 1000 are still moving, but how many soldiers are in a completely decent state?
"The Holy King's Army has lost its ability to fight."
Yes, I think so.
"What are we gonna do?
"In the morning, we'll all double-check and blow this place up and go home. Let's take turns watching and sleeping today."
Yes, I'll be the last one to watch Pessar reply, with a strong flame in the middle of the night. Our wings should be able to rendezvous with Mr. Koske by tomorrow. We need to make sure we report the results.
