Survival in Another World With My Master

After a few hours of running on the airboard, you'll be completely out of the PLA's sphere of influence and into a city or city that has not yet bowed to the PLA - the nascent kingdom of Merinard.

That said, it is not that it leads to immediate danger. Not obedient = not hostile. The point is, not a few cities and towns have decided whether to reach the newborn kingdom of Merinard or the Holy King.

As far as cities and towns like this are concerned, we believe that it will not be difficult to bring them to the side of our nascent Merinard kingdom. Because the Holy King is far away and we are close. This means that the time to send forces is shorter, and it becomes a threat as soon as it turns to the enemy.

In addition, rumours that our Liberation Army destroyed more than 10,000 troops of the Holy King's Land with oligarchs spread quickly to the realm of Merinard and beyond through a network of merchants. I think it's still spreading outside the country, but as far as the kingdom of Merinard is concerned, you might think it's already known.

And in such a situation, our Liberation Army will send forces to follow even the priests of Adolphus. There is never much power with us, but it is the Liberation Army that crushes 10,000 units of the Holy King's Regular Army with oligarchs. It is normal to think that the number is at least not going to work out with the fighting power of one city or another.

That's supposed to be normal.

Looks like you're ready for a thorough resistance.

Ellen and I were having tea as we watched the city from the sturdy stone tower, which was built a distance from the arrows and magic. Amarier and Berta are sitting in the same seat as us, looking at the city with worrying faces.

It's been three days since I left Mélinesburg. Until yesterday, there were only cities and towns that had promptly shown their obedience, but they finally did not bow to the nascent kingdom of Merinard, nor did they quit the battle! That is why the city appeared before our eyes.

He already knew that we were moving peacefully in the country, and now he is firmly closing the gate, raising the jump bridge, and preparing for a thorough resistance.

The truth is, they were trying to ambush us by pretending to welcome us in numbers, but such movements were discovered by Happy's scouting ahead. Mr. Harpy's hands... feet before he arrives? Throwing a letter from above asking about it, they hurriedly shut the gate and raised the jump bridge that was hanging on the water tower to take over the cage castle.

"What is the meaning of a cage castle in this situation?"

"I don't understand. I'm not familiar with the knowledge of battle, but wasn't the cage castle supposed to be if there was a chance that reinforcements would come?

"That's not all, but I don't know if that's the most appropriate... if you have a powerful interceptor weapon, you can use the walls to destroy enemy forces in a defensive battle, or you can defend yourself and let the attacker give up, waiting for the attacker's supplies to run out."

"I see... you're familiar with it, right?

"You're an expert in PLA defense, aren't you?

Before that, I learned about fortifications online when building various types of bases in various survival games. At that time, I felt somewhat rogue about such castle warfare or cage castle warfare, knowledge around it, and modern and modern tactics.

Well, it's undeniable that I know better than a full-time soldier, but I still have some knowledge.

"But what are we going to do about it? Is this going to be a fight?

"Well, I guess so. Hopefully, I don't want any more people dying."

"Really... I hope you agree with me."

Amarilier once again turned to the city of Griselburg with a worrying look.

This time, Griseburg is the central city in the northern part of the Kingdom of Merinard, showing its readiness for a thorough war of resistance. A strong fortress city with a water hawk and splendid walls, it seems to have survived attacks by the Royal Army until the fall of Merynesburg in the war against the Holy King twenty years ago.

What irony is it that the city is standing before us this time trying to destroy the Holy King's Army?

"The water tower and the strong walls look like trouble at first sight, but they're nothing to me."

If you stretch a thick roofed passage with stone, cross the water storehouse, connect to the castle wall, and drill a hole in the castle wall with a mistrill mooring, you can send as many troops as you want. I can't believe you're going straight into the city through a tunnel beneath the water hawk so they don't notice.

"But when I try not to release the dead as much as possible... hmm"

We tea gracefully in this watchtower, but downstairs we have a military debate about how the Liberation Army, including Da Nang and Ms Zamir, will dominate the city. Is it okay to gracefully serve tea in such a situation? But for the time being, it seems that we are going to do something with the PLA's current strength without relying on my help.

Well, even though the battle force on the scene includes two light-machine gunner squadrons and a Happy Bomber unit equipped with aerial bombs, and all the elite soldiers Danang brings are equipped with powerful goats foot crossbows in the first place, so I think it's easy to destroy enemy forces if you put in a Happy Bomber unit after the shootout.

"What would you do with Koske?

"What if I were you? I see... would I sneak into the city and steal weapons and food?

My inventory makes it easy to store food and weapons for a city. If we can get in the shade and infiltrate with a few of us, we'll be able to complete the operation.

"If we lose all the weapons and food we need to build a cage, we will certainly not be able to continue to resist."

Griselburg is closing all the gates and raising the jump bridge to prevent our invasion. If we run out of stockpiled food, it will dry up early. Then there is no other way but to surrender.

"But it's out of the question that Mr. Koske would put himself in danger for that."

"That's right, it's out of the question. You already have a lot of people's fate at your fingertips, so moving lightly is not a compliment."

I see.

Belta and Ellen threw a deep nail at me. In addition, Amarier looked at me with a very worrying look. I don't think this is going to work for me.

If I were alone, I'd be able to escape for as long as my enemies find me. I don't think it's possible to catch me, especially in city warfare. I'm confident I can get away from Sylvie and Merty. I don't think the limes are going to make it.

"... are you sure?

As we were discussing it, Ms Zamir looked down at her like a lizard. It may be rude to say this, but it feels kind of cute.

"That's fine. Have you decided on a policy?

"Yes, I would also like to ask the Koske and the Virgin for their opinion."

That's how Miss Zamir's head went down the stairs. Me and Ellen also stood up from their seats and headed downstairs to the conference room. It seems that Amarier and Berta will clean up the tea, so we'll go alone.

"Are you here?"

Entering the conference room, Ms. Da Nang and Ms. Zamir, dressed in armour, and Jagila, who had led the samurai squadron, had all the faces of the Liberation Army, including Pilna, who had led Harpy.

"Oh, what happened?

"I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with suppressing anything else. There's nothing wrong with the way we attack cities."

I see.

I nodded at Danang's words. We'll hit them with gunfire, nail them to the walls, blow them up with aerial bombardment, and then destroy the gates. That's it. However, this way of doing things has drawbacks.

"But there are too many casualties."

Well, yeah.

In this way, the people involved in the battle will most likely die or be seriously injured. Especially when it comes to aerial bombardment. A direct hit leaves almost no human form. We're talking about what we're going to do now that we've blown our enemies apart, but we don't want to shed much blood at this time of year to calm the country down.

"Well, that's why I decided to rely on Koske."

"I see... hmm?

"Ask for a hand that will crush the enemy's hopes to avoid too many casualties. But I don't want you to get in directly. Is there something like this? One or two of the weapons that would blow the bridge and the gate from a distance."

"Hey, I'm not a blue earless cat robot... well, I'm not saying no."

I wonder if this might happen.

It was known from the beginning that the main battlefields in the world were made with bows and arrows and horses, so naturally, I have prepared one or two of these weapons that are suitable for attacking castles. Until now, it has been difficult to operate without my company due to the relationship between this side being the protective side and transportation, so I didn't use it.

The main unit and bullets are fucking heavy anyway. The PLA, which focuses on manoeuvres, was not very useful. Until now, it felt like killing a soldier of the Holy King's Army, so it was enough shooting and bombing.

"Come on, that's why I said there's definitely one."

"I thought Mr. Koske would definitely have it."

Jagila and Pirna pointed their blame at Da Nang. Apparently, the only way they could force the slaughtered casualties to surrender to the opponent was with the current equipment.

"... it's not healthy to rely too much on Koske."

In contrast, Danang has a bitter face.

"I know what Da Nang said is true, but it's not that bad. It's the purpose of this trip to show my strength."

Besides, the R&D department is developing prefabricated magic guns, and that way something like this will be developed without spending so much time. There is no reason to spare anything.

Well then, let's do it later. We should break down the gates and the walls, right?

Ah.

"Then lend me some soldiers. At this time, similar weapons will eventually be developed, so let's train them first."

"... is that okay?

Danang asks, but I nod to it. Danang will know that the weapons I provide to the Liberation Army are actually only a fraction of them. When Cubby took her away from me the other day, I pulled the contents out once and left them there.

"Let me show you a weapon that once and for all obsoletes the defenses of a high castle wall in my world."

That's how I get off the guard tower. What kind of weapon? That's what it is. It's easy to make with iron and gunpowder, and it's primitive because it doesn't use explosives or anything. Let's shoot alongside each other in a position out of reach of the arrows.
