─ ─ Villain warlord, it ravages the city

By the Prussian Imperial Army, I attacked the Ostrich Empire mainland ahead of an operation to drive the Ostrich Imperial Army out of Syresia and at the same time invade the Ostrich Empire mainland.

At first I wondered what I was going to do, but now I know what I should do according to what the first city sees. The city is surrounded by walls and prevents foreign enemies from entering. This guy is out of the way for the invading army.

All right, let's break it!

"Rifle cannon!

Every time I take out a familiar 120mm rifle cannon and set it up, I load it with an anti-tank grenade and point the cannon at the wall.

"Eh!

The shells released fly to the walls and blow up the walls. I kept shooting shells at the walls of the castle, mindful of them, until they were completely relocated.

Along the way, there was some trouble with the rubble scattered by the shelling crashing into the house in the walls and the house collapsed, except that everything was fine. I knocked down the walls.

See, that city, which was breathless and narrow on the walls, gained a brilliant sense of openness by the fact that the walls were gone! This will be called a craftsmanship move!

Hmm? The guys with the crossbow come out of the city I remodeled and did. That one, this is a military base, right? Right. You're a garrison for the Ostrich Imperial Army disguised as a city.

Then the walls won't be enough. I'll wipe out the city by the time I'm done with my skin.

"Multiplex rocket cannon!

Every time you deploy a familiar multi-mounted rocket gun, point the gun hole inside the city.

"There may be damage to civilians, but that's just collateral damage"

I declare that way before carrying out the livestock business of punching multiple-integrated rocket cannons into urban areas. I'm not bad. It is your fault that you put your troops in the city.

"Eh!

No mercy, Fire!

The rocket rounds released one after the other from the multi-mounted rocket cannon blow up the city.

Don't worry. It's a less lethal, regular bullet. I need you to thank me for not using cluster munitions, incendiary rounds, or mines.

Blow it up. Blow it up. There are no bad enemy soldiers.

Mm-hmm. Bad enemy soldiers seem to have wiped out all the charcoal. There are no more soldiers coming out. There would be no point in continuing any more attacks without enemy soldiers. I'll miss this place because of my temper. I'd appreciate it.

Nevertheless, when it comes to this much destruction in all the cities to come, Karma is going to roll down in the direction of evil. Though militarily unavoidable, it wouldn't be nice to kill too many civilians.

"But no. If it were to invade the mainland anyway, it would be a looting festival, and it might not make much sense if I weigh myself down."

Army stations in this world are basically local procurement. Sometimes the battle in Silesia was in my own territory, and I paid the price to buy food, etc., but I don't think it would be such a pain in the ass if it became the mainland of the Ostraich Empire, the enemy country. Hi-ha-ha! It's looting! I don't feel like I'm going to be.

"Well, it's all about getting my hands dirty, so let's get our Prussian Imperial Army people to work too. I don't know if there's a looting festival going on."

The cause of war is too great for a single student to bear. Let's all share. I wouldn't be scared if we all did looting and genocide. If I have to, I will rub all responsibility for war crimes against Friedrich or His Majesty the Emperor. Let's do that.

So I decided to move forward while moderately destroying the city.

At a minimum, the city walls will be destroyed. Eliminate enemy soldiers whenever possible.

With this method I keep moving forward.

Blow it up! Blow it up! Blow it up!

I move forward as I blow up the walls, blow up enemy soldiers, and rest on the way. The lunch sandwich was qualitative but delicious.

That's how I secure the path of our Prussian Imperial Army, but our Prussian Imperial Army doesn't look like it. I took a break from tea or something along the way, wondering if it was because my marching speed was too fast, but I don't come here long enough to live.

That's crazy! Come on! They're gonna fix the walls!

I went back to Silesia to see what was going on because it was so strange.

"Meine! The Prussian Imperial Army isn't coming any further!

"Wow, it's sudden, Master Altrid."

If you look closely, Meine, there's you. The backup base isn't moving at all either! I don't know, this!

"I'm shredding enemies on the mainland of the Ostraich Empire, and the Prussian Imperial Army isn't moving forward! Stay where you are! This is crazy!

"I don't know if you tell me... The supply officer is coming, so why don't you ask that person?

Right. Meine, I can't help complaining to you. Let's complain to the great Prussian Imperial Army.

"Hey! Officer there! Why haven't you moved on!?

"Wow, what a sudden surprise."

The Supply Officer's eyes rounded as I caught the Supply Officer and broke his shoulder.

"When it comes to moving forward, do you mean the remaining enemies in Silesia? They say the rest of the party is still here. It'll still take some time to sweep."

"What!? In the meantime, even though I was pushing until I was on the verge of devastation - yet!?

Wait, wait, wait, wait! The Ostrich Imperial Army that attacked Silesia would have turned me into a rag! Why are you still dealing with the Ostraich Imperial Army in Silesia?

"Everything seems to be backed up by the Ostraich Imperial Army one after the other, or a bunch of drifting things. After interrogating the prisoner, the city was destroyed by the Red Devil, and he had no choice but to flee."

… I mean, this is what it is.

If I were to beat the mainland of the Ostraichi Empire galloping, I would head to Silesia in the opposite direction in order to escape me as more and more soldiers fled from it proceeded towards the imperial capital, Vienna, with the consequent increase of the Ostraichi Imperial Army in Silesia.

That's stupid! I can't stop talking like that!

The Prussian Imperial Army, positioned on the border with the Ostraich Empire in the first place, did not! They don't mind Silesian enemies, so they should be able to move forward smoothly! Whoever's in charge, come out here!

So I'm going to command!

"Oops!

"Oh, Lord Astrid of the House of the Duke of Oldenburg. What's the matter, sir?

I am totally familiar with Mr. Outpost.

"My Lord Admiral! Send His Excellency the Admiral! War is going crazy!

"Ha. One moment, please"

Mr. Sentinel turned to command as if reluctantly.

"What is it, Mr. Astrid? What do you mean there's something wrong with war?

"Hi, there's something wrong with war! You've never heard of an army reinforced with deserters! Which punitive unit is it!

I tell His Excellency the Admiral when he looks annoyed.

"Oh. The remnant of Silesia. That was on the verge of devastation now, so I'm starting to hang out with my army again. But thanks to you for roughing up the mainland of the Ostraich Empire, we were able to get reinforcements from elsewhere."

"It's crazy! Put that reinforcement on the mainland invasion of the Ostraich Empire!

If the mainland of the Ostrich Empire is destroyed, the remaining Ostrich Imperial Army in Silesia will also surrender! The priorities are strange!

"That's what makes His Highness Friedrich so difficult to invade the mainland of the Ostraich Empire. It's just being discussed with His Majesty the Emperor."

Friedrichy! You did this to me! Arrow, Leedrich, let him be. Good!

"Let me see His Highness Friedrich! 'Cause I'm gonna say something!

"Hold on, Astrid!

It's already hot! I can't believe Drich ruined my hard work!

"Tatsuya!

I stepped into command.

"Astrid. Why are you here?

"You know the reason why best!

You heartless prince!

"… about the invasion of the mainland of the Ostraich Empire,? That is going to mean after issuing warnings to encourage the evacuation of civilians. Then the sacrifice will be minimal."

"It's too late! Because civilians are already dying! How many times do you think I've been crushing the city!

"Become..."

You look so surprised, I won't forgive you! Because you ruined everything!

"Please direct your troops immediately to the mainland of the Ostraich Empire. We've already secured a way forward. If the march doesn't seem to take place, I'll make the Empire Veen a sea of fire by myself."

"That is……"

Answer me, you moron!

"I understand. Let's agree to start the march. But civilian sacrifice is minimal."

"What are you going to do with the replenishment? It's gonna be local procurement, right?

"…… it will be done after you have paid the price."

hah............. Either we reach the Imperial capital Veen first, or the Prussian Empire will be financially broken.

"Your Highness, I don't think the mercenaries will follow that directive. Even the Horsemen will be suspicious. We defeat the enemy. I'm not hurting my friends.“ Enemy ”uses all means to obstruct our march. Still minimal sacrifice?

"... right. My thoughts seemed sweet. There are too many parts of the thing called war that don't fit my mind. I guess I shouldn't speak out. But if I do, I'm going to take responsibility. I'm responsible for any outrageous consequences."

"I was wondering if that would be all right. But you don't have to feel responsible. This is the war the enemy has been waging. Because we do justice."

That's right. Justice is with us. The Ostrich Empire is all bad for trying to steal Silesia. We're not bad at all.

Well, but they'll take responsibility, and let's say I push Friedrich to blame for my acts of urban destruction. Thanks, Friedrich! Take full responsibility for your war crimes!

"Then I'll keep moving forward, won't I? Because if His Royal Highness's dispatched troops don't chase after him, I will make the Empire Veen a pile of rubble by myself. That's what I'm saying."

"Huh? That's a promise..."

"So ha!

Well, no doubt Friedrich's army is chasing after me. It is certain that I will make the Empire Veen a sea of fire. He said Friedrich would take the blame, and if the Prussian Imperial Army, which he had been chasing later, could occupy it, it would be a victory.

So let's go again!

"A, Astrid! I ask for minimal civilian sacrifice! Limit the attack to military installations!

Oh. I can't hear you.
