Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 072 - More allies are more troublesome than enemies (True Face)
After logging and returning to Fort Gamma, Silfi and the others were meeting again. It seems difficult, but when I try to pass by looking sideways, my shoulders are grabbed.
"Koske, I need your opinion."
"Yes"
Looks like Sylvie saw me go through. If I fail in that attempt, I will be pulled by cheating. The PLA soldiers who accompanied Miss Zamir sent me out with a smile. Don't think I won...
"What's the matter, guys? Look hard."
"Fort Alpha, the refugees... no, the brave soldiers are gathering."
"It's not like the Holy King's..."
Then you wouldn't say you were a refugee first.
"Hmm, mostly beasts, but also human soldiers from the former Merinard kingdom."
"Is that it? Omit, don't go to the wilderness. You're saying we broke up?
"Yes, it is."
Danang agrees to my words. Well, if humans were mixed up, we would have been able to explore the trends of the Holy King's kingdom, and it's been some time since we started fighting the Holy King's Army. I don't think it's strange to prepare and take action.
"How long have you been here?
"A thousand."
"What? Say it again."
I think I heard a lot of numbers.
"A thousand."
"You're lying."
As a decent force, it's about 300. The remaining 700 are non-combatants, including their families. "
"Oh, my God. Hey."
Sure, the capacity of this base should have been 3,000 at the time of completion of the primary construction, so we should be able to accommodate it with plenty of room, but it's far away... it takes about a week on foot.
"Merty, is there enough food?
"Honestly, it's a bit harsh. The base has stockpiles, but it is difficult to bring them here. We need to create a food production base as soon as possible. It's also close to the front line."
"It's a long way from home...."
The original plan was to drag you to the Omit Wilderness, so I thought it would be okay to make food at the back of the base. Actually, we're jumping out of the Omit Wilderness, so we're running out of supply lines. This is not very good.
"From the realm of the Omit Grand Wilderness to the realm of the Omit Grand Wilderness, do you want to build a base?"
I was wondering if I needed to do that.
"Fortunately, on the Melinard Kingdom side of the Omit Great Wilderness, gizmas are almost destroyed. There should be less danger."
I don't know where to reinforce the fort anymore.
Something unexpected always happens. The current situation is that it is more troublesome to suddenly have a larger number of allies than enemies.
"What a wonderful timing, anyway. It's as if someone had guided it....."
"Cubby."
"Cubby? No, I haven't seen it lately."
He was single and in contact with a former member of the Royal Merinard Army.
"Single undercover is amazing."
A spy or something? Spy Fox?
"Anyway, in that situation. I want to hear Koske's opinion."
"I don't care what your opinion is... first, what direction are you arguing about?
"In addition to the strength of the brave soldiers, I think we should seize Arihiburg at once."
"I disagree. It's just a lot of trouble, and I thought we should get things right now."
"But it will also give the Holy King time to set things right. Enemy superiority is number. Attacking the three forts simultaneously is tough. I was rubbed to pieces as soon as I went into battle."
But...
While watching Da Nang and Merti hang out in the bustle, she smiled like Silfi was in trouble.
"It's been like this for a while now, and I don't know what to do."
"What does Sylvie think?
I see. I want to adopt Danang's opinion, but I want to hear Koske's opinion. "
Da Nang and Merti turned around and looked symmetrical in Sylphie's words. Da Nang looked as if he were saying 'Princess Shizukuishi understands', and Merti said, 'Why do you disagree with me?! But that's the face I'm going to say.
I want you to look at this map first.
"A map of the area. This is the fort, in the surrounding cities and villages... is this the street?
"That's right. There are other small roads, but these are mainly indicative of large streets where the military can move."
"... I see, it's really a traffic rush, Arrihiburg."
As far as the map goes, there is no other route for the Holy King's Army to descend south if Arrihiburg is held down. We could isolate the forces of the Holy King's Army south of Arihibourg if we took Arihibourg.
"Yeah, that's right. If we hold it down, it will be difficult for the Holy King to put in a strategy of overwhelming us."
"I wonder if we can protect Arihiburg."
"Exactly. As a result, they will be able to dedicate less combat power to defense, and they will be able to turn their personnel around to maintain law and order."
Danang holds his fist and persuades him. Melty, on the other hand, was a little tired of his expression.
"What's wrong with Merti?
"I'm dissatisfied, or even if I drop it, I'm worried about governing it afterwards. Even with the shortest drop of Arihiburg, there should still be soldiers of the Holy King's Army south of Arihiburg. They can cause disturbances, loot, and even banditry everywhere."
"In that regard, if we continue to fight in the future, we will always have a problem. If we do that, the Holy King's Army's reputation will be lowered as a result, and if we crush it, our reputation will rise.
I wish it was that easy.
It seems that Merti doesn't think it will work that well. I'm sure there will be a different struggle. Until now, I should have been only careful with gizmas that stupidly and honestly penetrate.
"I don't think there's much to worry about. I don't think it would be difficult to hunt down thieves with a Harpy and Golem transmitter capable of scouting a wide area from above."
Hmm, I think so too.
Danang agrees with me. Even hiding in the woods, Harpy's eyes are hardly misleading, and it doesn't seem difficult to hunt down thieves with powerful units that can communicate with each other with Golem communicators.
"It's not always something that can be solved by force...."
Melty stares at me and Da Nang with the gaze that these brain muscles said. Hyah... kowai!
"Um... Koske agrees with Danang's policy, right?
"Oh, wow... even in team games, it's a basic tactic to hold back the traffic. I think it'll be easier to catch you when you can, even if you leave home affairs behind."
Strategies, simulation games, etc., are the basics of keeping traffic in check. If the opponent has more power to mobilize, it's too much.
We are overwhelmingly better at base defense than in the field, and in the unlikely event that we are bypassed by Arihiburg with a strange tactic, we can also take the tactic of destroying each one due to the difference between Harpy's wide-area enemy search capabilities and the information transmission speed provided by the Golem communicators.
"How are the brave soldiers doing now?
"I'm staying at Fort Alpha. We plan to leave as many men as we can at Fort Alpha, and the non-combatants will be escorted and evacuated."
"You don't have enough food?
"There are also harvests from fields made by Koske, and they will be managed. We're sending extra supplies from Fort Beta."
"I still have stockpiles in my inventory, so I can run if I need to."
"Instead, I'd like Koske to build a supply base. That way, you won't have to walk non-combatants to a distant base."
I see. Let's start tomorrow. "
"Do it. Danang and I will stay here and form an offensive force in Arihiburg. Koske, move to Fort Alpha and build a production base."
"Really....."
Getting away from Sylvie again... I miss you so much.
"Isla will follow you."
"Oh, there may be injured or sick people."
How long will you be away this time? If you drop one city, it'll be long... hmm, I miss you. It doesn't mean you're not lonely because of Isla and Harpy. I like them, but Sylphie is the best thing for me.
"... don't look so lonely. Determination shakes."
"I can't help it."
"Um, you two? Can you do that when it's private?
"Fufufu, are you jealous?
"... Sylvie? I'm not feeling too well."
Doya whispers something in Silfi's chest with her face. As soon as I did, I began to sweat on Sylvie's face. What? What?
"Am I good?
"Don't do that!
"What should I do?
Silfi starts flirting over Merti in a strange hurry. What the hell is going on!? Wow, that bothers me!
"Ah... that's the end of the meeting. Koske, get some rest for tomorrow."
Oh.
Danang leaves the conference room in a strange way. It seems that Danang heard something.
"Hmm, is that good? Or is that better?
"I'm sorry!
That silfi is half crying. Merty, what kind of weakness are you holding... you can't be too alarmed, Merty.
