Survival in Another World With My Master

Walk down the street with a scolding Harpy hunting down a suspicious bird with a pigeon. Looks like there's a scourge lurking in the woods. Well, I don't have time for this right now, and there's nothing we can do about our speed.

That's about an hour to go. We have reached Bobrovsk, a city in the power zone of the Holy Kingdom. It appears that Bobrovsk's defenses were unaware of the invasion until they saw us, either because the Happy were blocking our transmission in advance. It seems that the castle gate is rushing civilians who were being inspected into the city to take them into emergency shelter. At this rate, the defense will not be ready at all.

Koske, let's use the speaker.

Ah.

Silfi picked up a microphone placed between the driver's seat and the rear seat and raised his voice.

"To all the Holy King's Armies present in Bobrovsk, we are the liberation army of the Kingdom of Merinard! Disarm and surrender immediately! If you don't surrender in half an hour, we'll start attacking!

The distance between the barrier and the castle gate is such that no arrows can reach it, so I'm not sure how the opponent reacts. But at least they don't intend to go into a riot like this one coming out right away.

In the meantime, successive airboards emerged from the streets one after the other, surrounding Bobrovsk. The gunmen equipped with machine guns, of course, as well as the elite soldiers under Lord Leonard's command, are proficient in handling crossbows, so all high-speed strike units have the means to strike from ranged range.

Naturally, it is possible to shoot from above the airboard, so everyone has some combat ability, especially without getting off.

"You think I'll surrender?

The bells started ringing intermittently from all over Bobrovsk, whether it was to inform of an emergency or not. There will be a lot of confusion in Bobrovsk by now.

"I don't think so. If you surrender without battle, Bobrovsk's defense commanders will be heavily involved, and the basically front-line commanders are hardwired by the enemies... three from the samurai and turn to the north gate to block passage. Kill anyone who tries to break through."

Copy that.

Now, take the microphone of the on-board Golem communicator and Silfi will start giving instructions to each side.

"Happy's scorn hastily leaves Bobrovsk, see if there are any fast horses. The bombers are starting to disarm, and two of them are working with the scouts to take down the fast horses if they escape the blockade. Catch and kill the pigeons as usual."

It's okay!

Sylphie gave me merciless instructions. Well, it's important to seal off enemy information. I don't think it's possible to prevent it altogether, but it's better to do it this way than not to.

There are quite a few things that we have won in the Holy King Army and our Liberation Army, but the biggest one is the advantages of information. We have a Golem communicator that allows us to exchange information in real time, even at great distances.

In contrast, the fastest means of communicating information to the Holy King's Army is a pigeon, followed by a fast horse. There may be leaks in the case of pigeons, but there is a lack of certainty in the first place, and in the case of horses, there is a fatal speed difference between the electric invasion by the airboard and almost equal speed, even after deducting the attack time.

And if the information is not passed on, the Holy King's army side will always be under ambush. Quarterly - It is very difficult to establish a proper defense system in 30 minutes. They must also provide evacuation guidance to civilians. You might be able to set up some sort of defense if you throw out any of that...

"This is the north gate. A group of people have arrived and are rushing along with the cavalry."

"Do it."

Copy that.

You hear guns, guns, and little gunshots coming from afar.

Processing completed. We're clear. "

"Well done. Stay alert."

Copy that.

"You're right. Flight 2 and Flight 3 continue with me. I'll take command of this scene. If anything happens, tell the princess."

Copy that.

On instructions from the princess, I lightly knocked on the window behind the driver's seat with a Golem communicator to support the face of the samurai. After that, the airboard starts to slide over the fields surrounding Bobrovsk. I think it is wonderful that moving over the field does not trample the field. Besides, it's fast, and it's better than a carriage, so it's impeccable. The ball is flawed with bows and arrows and magic, but there are two magicians who can use barrier magic, so they won't be able to pass the enemy's attack.

In this march, there were two samurai crew members and two magicians on the airboard of the samurai squad. A magician is also a loader. Although it is a pilot deployment, I think it is quite a reasonable arrangement.

Turning to the north gate behind Bobrovsk, the street was already idle. Since the bell was ringing earlier about the emergency, all the peasants who worked in the wilderness and all the travelers who visited the neighborhood were housed in the city. No, it looks like we're still messing around by the gate. Instruct the driver to deploy well away from the castle gate.

"I blocked the street and waited. Check the machine guns so you can shoot them right away."

Yes, Captain.

I inspect the machine gun myself while giving instructions to my men. Since the maintenance was done yesterday, you should only check the operation and load the ammunition.

A little later, the gate opened, and the horse jumped out about twelve rides. It's a clear move to break through our blockade. Suruga rides two horses with lightly dressed horsemen, and the others are armed cavalry. The cavalry will storm with a shield and break through the gap. I'll get in touch with the princess on the Golem comms immediately.

"This is the north gate. A group of people have arrived and are entering with the cavalry."

The Princess's response to my report was very short and decisive.

Do it.

"Roger that. First plane to second and third. Target, enemy cavalry. Attract, not yet... exterminate, prepare to shoot ─ ─ start shooting"

I issued the command and triggered it myself, causing the enemy cavalry approaching me to rain bullets.

Gahhhhh! and the horsemen turn into smoke and blood.

Even a bolt action rifle used to blow up enemy soldiers wearing armor helmets with a single blow, but a weapon called a machine gun fires twenty such attacks per second. No matter how much armor you wear, no matter how many horses you ride, it's like paper debris before this attack.

The storm of bullets fired from two, or six, machine guns per airboard literally wiped out the cavalry in a very short time. Zero survivors. Of course, horses are also killed in battle.

"Bolt action rifles can only kill riders."

Indeed. If the number of enemies is twelve, the number of riders is twelve. If the six of them were to shoot with a bolt action rifle, we would have taken them all down before they could engage.

"Maybe, but showing overwhelming power is also the purpose of this operation."

"Your horse is useless."

I can't help it.

Horses are very versatile animals. Ride, till, eat, and clap. I don't care about that right now... even though I don't like horseback beasts. Reporting.

"Processing complete. No damage done here."

Well done. Stay alert. "

Copy that.

Finish reporting over the transmitter and switch the frequency.

"Bring the body of the enemy soldier to the edge of the road. Get one person out of both planes two and three. The rest of you, back up the recovery team. The Wizard stands by in the car."

Copy that.

Rika

Replies were received from Aircraft 2 and Aircraft 3.

"Well, go on then."

"Eh!? Am I going!?

"I'm the captain. I have to lead."

"Ugh! Jagira's idiot!

Ahahah, what you should have is a loyal subordinate. Now, how will the enemy get out?

There appears to have been enemy cavalry attempting to break through the North Gate, but since then Bobrovsk has remained silent as if he were a shellfish trapped in a shell. No, I think it's a good expression because the guard looks like a soldier on the wall. Anyway, there was no movement to respond to the surrender recommendation.

"... it's time."

Sylphie, who confirmed the position of the sun, murmured. I hardly know, but Sylvie seems to be able to accurately measure time at the sun's location. I think it's already been thirty minutes since my body sensation, but it seems that I was in a hurry.

Sylvie gets the speaker's microphone again.

It's a time limit! Raise the white flag if you wish to surrender. Otherwise, launch the attack!

I call again, but Bobrovsk has no movement. Looks like this is it.

"Harpy Bomber. Destroy the south gate of Bobrovsk."

Copy that. Bombardment in progress.

At Sylvie's behest, the Harpy bombers, already deployed over the sky, begin bombardment. It's a sudden descent bombing from above. Harpy and the others return to the sky to drop the bomb and hop. And the next moment, there was a big explosion at the castle gate in Bobrovsk. In fact, there were only a few medium-sized explosions at the same time, but the timing seemed to have caused a massive explosion.

"Mr. Harpy, aren't you breathing too much?

"I was even training if I had time. I used to be a virtual target like a concubine's bed. I often helped you gather mock ammunition. And then I even put the barrier back in the dirt."

I hear Grande's sleepy voice from behind. Harpy, what are you doing?

In any case, the South Gate was crushed with a single blow, like a craftsmanship, and collapsed. Another bomb was dropped there, and now the debris blew up without trace. Harpy and the others must have shot up all the bombs on both feet, so we'll need to rebuild them... and come back.

The next target is the guards on the barrier, the barracks, the armory.

Rika!

Herpy and the others flew away again, and now the guards on the barrier were all blown up, followed by a sporadic bombardment of Bobrovsk's internal defense facility. We just keep an eye on it.

Hmm, unilateral.

"That's the way it's structured, so it's only natural. They attack from a height where they can't reach bows or arrows or magic, so they can't resist."

I can hear Isla's calm analysis from behind. Well, yeah, it's because you're unilaterally bumping out of the range.

"Um, what are we gonna do now?

"Let the process follow, and we'll move forward."

I'm sure it will be.

We don't have time for post-war processing. The role of the Fast Strike Troops is to destroy enemy bases one after the other with overwhelming speed and fire, so that subsequent battalions can easily take control of enemy bases. There is no point in making my legs faster waiting for the main squad to catch up.

Report the results.

This is a reprimand. Destroy the guards on the wall. We also confirmed the destruction of major defense facilities. "

"All right, Harpy Bombers, return home. After a 15-minute pause, the march resumes. Don't miss out on hydration for everyone."

Got it

"Fifteen minutes. Well, I'll get the air bomb refill in time."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about anything, but be careful."

Copy that.

That's what I said to Sylvie, and I jumped out of the airboard pilot's seat. Now, let's get some crispy supplies.
