Wortenia Senki (WN)

On that day, the streets that crossed the plains of Cannat from Pireus, the capital of the kingdom, to the northeast of the Kingdom of Roseria, were filled with horses.

From there, the horse's nodding and the soldiers' rage echoed, and the dust blocked their sight.

From here on, the Commander's rage and screams are flying through the air as he struggles to secure his path.

What is there is an enormous amount of heat.

”A tremendous heat... so hard to breathe...”

As he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his handkerchief, the flying bird hardened itself in the armor helmet and looked around.

It's like a movie scene.

It is not a B-class work that is deceived by digital processing of low budget, but it is a kind of supermassive work that secures a huge budget and mobilizes actual humans as extras.

No, even that is a fiction.

It is not far from the overwhelming sense of presence that spreads in front of us.

In any case, it will be a war against the heroes of national salvation who have been turned into traitors by the king of this country.

It's not a fiction about cartoons and novels, it's a real kill-off.

Inevitably, the air emitted from the soldiers' bodies is mixed with murderous aura.

Although it was still far from the planned battlefield, the soldiers could not feel at ease like Yomiuri.

"After all, they're going to kill each other..."

That's all, the signs of the soldiers were strong and hot.

That's so that even birds born in peaceful modern Japan can feel clearly.

Besides, this army is outnumbered.

It was enough to shake the heart of Kiryu Asuka, who was only a high school girl.

Not to mention that it would be difficult to keep calm if the birds themselves were part of the movie's one scene.

(Exactly the sea of people...... the sea of people tactics might say this kind of scene...... well, it's different from the war we imagine.)

The Northern Expeditionary Force, led by King Lupis Rosellianus, is said to have a nominal strength of 200,000 troops.

Since the capacity of the Tokyo Dome is 55,000, the flying birds are shocked by the spectacle of a vast number of groups moving, which is almost four times as large.

By analogy with the population of Japanese municipalities, is it about the same as the population of Nishi-Tokyo City, Tokyo?

In addition, all the young and old are counted in the population, but the swarm of people spreading out in front of the birds are all soldiers.

It's a huge number.

That being said, in the sense of fighting strength, if there is anything worth 200,000, there will be a question mark.

(Yeah... that's a lot of numbers... but it's not the same as gathering and directing this many people...)

While under pressure from an army of 200,000 men, Asuka knew exactly what his shortcomings were.

(I wonder how many of them are not dedicated soldiers for battle... they're just civilians... no matter how many weapons they have, their hearts are...)

Soldiers, many of them, were recruited by their lords, the nobles, to hold onto their weapons.

Of course, they are not amateurs in the true sense of the battle, as they are the inhabitants of the terrestrial world where it is not so unusual for a superlife called a monster to step forward and bandits to attack a village.

But it was also true that they weren't just soldiers.

At the very least, there's no way you can expect a professional soldier level proficiency called the soldier that Asuka had in his brain.

(And....)

Asuka sighed tinyly as he turned his gaze to the soldiers around him.

On top of that, the weapons they had were mass-produced in a hurry.

I don't say it's a bad product, but I can't say it's a luxury product.

Of course, even if there was no rust attached, I could still see it as better, but even so, when I saw the tip of the spear, which was only made by casting, I sighed.

There were overwhelmingly fewer soldiers in armor.

When it comes to their protective gear, it's like a wooden shield.

In terms of mobility, light equipment is never bad, but the meaning of collecting and organizing light infantry as a characteristic of a type of soldier, and completing it with gadgets because there is no money, changes a lot.

(But, of course... weapons and shields don't wear unless you adjust the size of the armor you're wearing...)

In the game settings, you can set the armor on the screen with your gear.

Even if you pick up armor in a cave or labyrinth, you can still equip it, otherwise it would be too cumbersome for the game.

In order to wear the strongest armor I picked up in front of the Las Boss, I had to go back to the city and adjust it in the blacksmith. Then, I could break the booming mood.

The game is nothing but play.

It's not too ridiculous a setting, but it's also too realistic.

And if you really wear armor in real life, of course it won't be easy.

It is the same size as the clothes.

If it is too big, the hem and sleeves will get in the way, if it is too small, it will be difficult to move, and in the worst case, you will not even be able to cut it.

And in the case of clothes, even if the size is different, it does not take a life, but it cannot be said in the armor helmet.

If you make the necessary adjustments, you will literally pay for your life.

But I don't want to put a cost on every soldier we conscript.

The result is the situation of the soldiers who enter the view of the flying birds.

(According to the common sense of this terrestrial world, even though conscripted civilians are only consumables, there must be some strange aristocrats who are willing to incur costs......)

It is impossible from the standpoint of common sense in modern society.

Because to the extent that there are politicians who declare that "human life is heavier than the earth" (occasionally) and give in to the demands of terrorists, and there are more than a certain number of people who show understanding in the words, human life is highly valuable.

Of course, by succumbing to the demands of that terrorist, we ignore the possibility of further damage...

Apart from the good and evil of the thought, modern society operates with the idea that human life is the priority in front of us.

But this terrestrial world is different.

In this terrestrial world where a strict identity system exists and slavery is still practiced by major players, the value of human life is very light.

Human beings are the most resourceful substitute.

This is because there is no dust problem in this terrestrial world.

In the terrestrial world, even the aristocratic class does not want the general entertainment enjoyed by humans in modern society.

When that happens, people's desires are more likely to turn to the underlying desire of eating and lusting.

Even in modern society, despite a declining trend in the number of births in major developed countries, the population of countries called developing countries is increasing for the same reason.

Not to mention, life in this terrestrial world is a poor environment that is not comparable to that in developing countries.

For that amount of time, humans can stir up their survival instincts.

In other words, you will be encouraged to make children.

And the marriageable age of women in this terrestrial world is in their mid teens.

In some cases, they may be married in their early teenage years.

Therefore, if you are unmarried after twenty years old, you will be seen by your surroundings very late.

And that early marriage increases the likelihood of having a child, for better or for worse.

Even in modern Japan, from the beginning of the Showa era to the time it was called a baby boom, it was natural that there were many brothers in every family.

In modern society, the meaning of the word itself is no longer established, but the word "many poor children" may not be a mistake if you put it in a careless way.

(Well, like Grandpa and Grandpa, there were some houses that only had brothers and sisters...)

However, it has a strong background that the Mikoshi family is a well-known family with a long history of cotton, and was a wealthier bourgeois than average.

However, it seems certain that, in essence, a human being is a creature loyal to desire, even if it is from another world.

(And in this world... it's more pronounced...)

It's a reality I don't want to see, but to the extent that I turned my eyes away from it, the flying birds weren't children either.

It is true that human nature remains the same, but the two worlds are too different.

The difference in the environment is reflected in the difference.

Moreover, there is a certain denture under the idea of human rights in modern society, but there is no concept of human rights in this terrestrial world.

In such a world, human lives are literally nothing but consumables.

Of course, because of the low cost, it can not be consumed like hot water, and most aristocrats understand that.

That's why we don't send them to the battlefield without having weapons on the boulders, but the distribution of armor helmets that need to be adjusted depending on the individual's physique is a real problem.

(Well, I envy not having to wear this kind of armor, but...)

With that in mind, the flying bird stared at the armor she was wearing for a moment.

The armor that Asuka is wearing is specially arranged by Maina Norberg.

It is also a metal sheet metal armor with the insignia of the Order of Light Gods used by the Shrine Knights.

From the standpoint of defensive performance, it can be said to be the highest.

Except for its weight and the unique mobility of the articulated part of the sheet metal armor, there is nothing more to go to the battlefield.

If there were, would it be enough to apply a granting technique in exchange for a large amount of money?

Moreover, this armor is considerably lighter than the previous one according to the health of the flying birds.

The word "bespoke" is just right.

But it's still just a weight for the birds that aren't used to wearing armor.

Besides, it's the heat around here.

The sweat blew out like a ball, and even if I wiped it with a few handkerchiefs, it didn't feel crisp.

Even though I understood that it was insane, I couldn't stop feeling envious of the soldiers around me.

That said, it is difficult to resist if the guardian and sister-like presence in this world strongly says that it is necessary to clarify the identity of the flying bird.

Externally, of course, it is only natural to wear armor in a certain sense, beyond participating in this battle as a servant of Mena and Rodney.

Besides, there are other reasons why Asuka wears this unfamiliar armor with patience.

To protect the chastity of Asuka herself.

(Tachibana-san is also here, so I think it's okay to wear it from the battlefield if it's really necessary... well, I wonder if Menea-san is right...)

In Japan, there are not many women who pay attention to clothes because they fear that they may be raped.

Asuka herself, if she heard such words from a woman in Japan, she would laugh at herself for being too self-conscious.

Of course, Asuka understands that such sexual crimes do not exist in Japan.

But that's why it feels ridiculous to pay attention to your clothes for fear of it, because you're afraid of a traffic accident and decide not to go out.

To that extent, the security of Japan is good.

But I can't say that in this terrestrial world.

There are not many women serving in this army.

Certainly some knights have women, but many of those women have family names.

In other words, I am in the position of leading a soldier, and I rarely act alone.

As a guard and servant, someone will always serve in that role.

Besides, the women who appeared on the battlefield while they were women, were mostly martial artists who had acquired martial arts like Menea.

It can be said that there are already transcendent differences in physical abilities due to the gender of men and women.

By contrast, flying birds are just civilians.

Certainly, Koichiro Okishiba has received some manoeuvres, and since being summoned to this earthly world, he will have been practicing the kneading of Menea and Rodney.

However, basically, Asuka's martial arts are only in the field of defense.

I'm not an amateur without any knowledge, but I'm not prepared to be a warrior.

You could end up killing people, but it would be hard to get your hands on them with the intention of killing them.

Even if it's the enemy who's trying to take his own life.

And the inability to kill enemies in this terrestrial world is not a virtue, but merely a weakness.

Besides, the consciousness of Asuka herself is thin, but there is no doubt that she is a beautiful girl who attracts the attention of everyone.

What would happen if such a beautiful girl fell into a group that was about to go to the battlefield?

Simply put, did I just say the poor sheep that fell into the midst of the hungry wolf?

That makes it easy to predict what kind of nonsense you're going through.

And the possibility of that happening cannot be denied by the flying birds themselves.

(But I can't believe you have to worry about that... this world is really different from Japan.)

If you live in Japan, you should pay attention to clothes so that you don't miss the fashion.

Of course, Asuka herself does not want to pursue the cutting edge of fashion, but she cannot remain indifferent to what she said as a high school girl in Hua.

The fact that the appearance of flying birds is more than that of people does not mean that the surroundings should not be left unattended.

Therefore, even if you do not want to be more fashionable than necessary, you will need to keep to the minimum line.

If you look too old-fashioned or disgusting, it will affect your relationship with friends.

After that, you just have to look like a TPO.

If you go out in the city for a coronation, even if you wear an empty suit or mini skirt on your chest so that you can see your underwear, you won't be blamed for that, and you won't suffer any obvious disadvantages because of that.

To put it firmly, it's just something that can be seen with white eyes by well-minded citizens.

But in this earthly world, it is clearly dangerous to dress like that.

No, you should be careful when walking around the city, even if it's not so inflammatory.

Moreover, the danger here is not to be out of company, or to be seen with white eyes from the surroundings.

It's literally directly connected to life and chastity.

Not to mention the fact that we're in the middle of a march surrounded by soldiers going to war.

In that sense, the sheet metal armor that the flying bird was wearing could be said to correspond to the costume of the spot.

However, even though I understand the need, I am sure that the strong sunlight pouring down from the sky will cause a ball of sweat to float on my skin.

(But... that's not all...)

The cause of the heat felt by Kiryu Asuka was not just the influence of the climate.

It's a fever emitted by fierce soldiers.

To put it mildly, it's like a frenzy that only a soldier with victory in mind can unleash.

What is in their hearts is not fear of the battlefield.

It's just how much treasure you can hold in your own hands.

In fact, it's a feeling that most of the soldiers who took part in this Northern Expedition feel in their hearts.

After all, in this Northern Expedition, the plundering of the House of Baron Mikoishiba and the territory of the northern region he ruled was officially recognized in the name of Lupis Rosellanus.

(Freedom to plunder in the territory of Baron Mikoshi...)

It's an unusual reward.

After all, even though it is now under the occupation of the House of Baron Okishiba, the territory around the citadel city of Ipiros is a historic part of the Kingdom of Roseria.

The people who live there are the people of Lupis Rosellianus.

Nonetheless, Queen Lupis acknowledged the plundering of the conscripted soldiers.

Of course, it was a difficult decision for Queen Lupis.

There are many possible reasons for this.

But perhaps the biggest reason was to get the nobles to join the Northern Expeditionary Force.

Even if the House of Baron Okishiba hates it, it's just a personal grudge.

What an arrogant nobleman.It's not that stupid.

No, they have a very clever mind in terms of calculating their own losses.

In the tragedy at the Nobility House, the sacrificed human blood relatives may resent Ryozumi Miko, but it would be subtle, to be honest, to give priority to the review until the soldiers are raised.

That's why Queen Lupis authorized the looting of the baroness's territory.

Then, he declared that the people who cited martial arts would be given the territory of the Northern Ten Households, including the territory of the former Count of Salzburg.

(To allow our own people to be sacrificed......)

From the feeling of a flying bird, it is just a foolish act.

Regardless of the political form, for the state, the citizen is an indispensable element in forming the existence of the country.

Cutting off the people themselves is close to self-harm.

Emotionally, it would be impossible for Asuka to become disgusted with Queen Lupis.

However, while the emotional feelings said so, the bird understands that in the rational part there is a person who is concerned about Lupis' decision.

(I don't think there's any other way... at least I don't know... if it's cowardly to criticize Lupis Rosellianus)

Certainly, given the current state of the Kingdom of Roseria, it may be an unavoidable decision.

Even as Queen Lupis, I wouldn't choose to sacrifice my own people.

In fact, the morale of this Northern Expeditionary Army is extremely high.

It is also evident from the number of nobles of the Kingdom of Roseria who participated in this army.

Emotions and benefits.

Both of these were met, but the outcome must be a large army in front of us.

Still, the fact that Queen Lupis made her decision didn't change.

That decision would continue to cast a shadow over Queen Lupis.

(Besides, I have no right to criticize Lupis Rosellianus' decision.)

I don't know if Ryoza Miko, the owner of the Baron Mikozai family, is really that Ryozane that Asuka knows.

Certainly, I was sure of that before.

Even now, he thinks it's probably the case.

But at the same time, the flying bird could not abandon the possibilities of others.

It's because I can't say at this stage that I'm the same person, even if I don't look at my face.

But is that really the honest feeling of Asuka himself?

(No... I just don't want to think so...)

Normally, it is absurd to think that Liangzhu, who suddenly disappeared from school, was summoned to this earthly world in the same way as the flying birds.

However, it is also a conclusion drawn from the natural course.

When that happens, I will be the other party and mastermind in this battle.

Of course, I don't want to defend myself.

However, as long as we hear about the tragedy that occurred in the noble house of the capital, Pireus, the other day, it will be quite difficult to defend the innocence.

If you can force it, how can you complain about extenuating circumstances?

Therefore, with regard to the question from Menea and Rodney, the flying bird fled with a clear answer.

However, I also understand that it is a boring reality escape.

It is simply the feeling that the sensitivity and good sense of the modern man possessed by Asuka does not want to recognize the mastermind of the war as his own.

(Actually, that idiot could do it...)

Ryozuma Miko is a sleeping hero that Kiryu Asuka knows.

Or perhaps it is an anachronistic samurai made by his grandfather, Koichiro Okishiba.

Correctly, Liangzhen herself understood the matter better than the flying birds.

A plain human with a strong body like a strong lion and the will of steel, combining the fangs of a viper with wisdom, but always devouring daily idleness.

It may be a contradictory evaluation, but that evaluation is best for Asuka.

In high school, I thought that bears could sleep, etc., but it can be said that it is an expression that captures the essence.

I guess it was because I instinctively sensed the heterogeneity that was hidden within Bright True.

However, while understanding such heterogeneity, Asuka has never felt terrified of a person called Ryozumi Miko.

This is because a person named Ryozuma Miko Shiba, after understanding his own heterogeneity, was dealing with his surroundings with moderation.

Is it the same reason that even a Japanese sword with a sharp blade is unlikely to hurt people if it fits in a sheath?

(Well, in the case of a Japanese sword, it's not just a sword, but a demon sword or something like that...)

It was a demon sword that had no need to be pulled out in modern society.

But once you're released from the sheath, you're going to have to suck blood.

(However, it can't really be said that it has never been pulled out...)

As far as Asuka knows, the person named Ryozuma Miko Shiba is basically a pacifist, or rather a pacifist.

However, if a certain standard is exceeded, the danger will increase immediately.

The first time was when, in elementary school, I pretended not to see the jigsaws in my class and sued the Metropolitan Education Commission for my job, pushing me to a disciplinary dismissal.

The second time was when the defects that had been in the night camp near the house were physically eliminated.

However, there was no clear evidence that either of them had moved.

As for the person in charge, as a result of the data recorded in the video camera being sent directly to the police station, there was a fuss because of the possibility of a case, but the email address sent was a free email address, and it was sent via a PC installed in the library outside the district.I didn't know who sent it and it was gone. As for those who were excluded from the park, it would be a struggle between the bad, so it ended in Yaya.

However, both situations have something in common.

That means that the flying bird has been damaged in some way.

(He won't allow himself to be irrationally exposed.And the problem is that he doesn't necessarily move because he's been damaged.....)

Of course, it could be just a coincidence.

However, since the teacher's disciplinary dismissal only provided the data to the public authorities, it would be possible for anyone with the will to implement it and a certain degree of legal knowledge to do so.

In that sense, it may be impossible to deduce that Ryozumi was an elementary school student at that time.

However, the elimination of defects is clearly different.

Rumor has it that it is a struggle between the bad guys, but all the injured bad guys are dominated by bare hands.

Besides, I know that the bad guys were carrying knives and other weapons.

(It's impossible to send everyone to the hospital with bare hands against multiple people with blades without considerable skill......)

In addition, all of them have been severely and almost irreparably injured.

There were no dead people, but they were severely handicapped so that they could no longer imitate their surroundings.

"That was also intentional..."

Of course, that doesn't mean that there was only Ryoza Miko who could do the same thing in Japan at that time.

Japan boasts a population of over 120 million.

In addition, there are various martial arts and martial arts, including karate and judo.

Surely the number will be small.

However, other than Ryozan Miko Shiba, there were other hand knots that could do the same.But would a mere bad town buy enough anger to be sanctioned by so many powerful people?

When I thought about it, I should most naturally see Ryozuma Miko as having retaliated for hurting Asuka.

(Well, it's possible that Grandpa......

Besides, this story is nothing more than an inference created by the flying birds themselves.

There's nothing to prove.

However, even if the execution was really bright and true, the flying bird is not surprised at all.

No, I'm not surprised, but I'll take it for granted.

I understand the personality and humanity of my childhood.

And you know it.

How did Ryoza feel when he looked at the current situation of the earthly world, with an ethic that can be said to be strong and monotonous, and a difficult character that he would never forgive the person he once judged to be monotonous?

(Well... I guess you couldn't stand it.)

He was arrogant, trampled on the weak, and was furious at the appearance of the nobles.

And it must have been ruthlessly calculated behind such a pale sense of justice and ethics.

Whether to tolerate the irrational status quo of this terrestrial world in pain, or to force it to change with violence after being prepared to bleed, which option will be advantageous for you and your fellow citizens.

And as a result, Ryozan Miko Shiba chose to follow the laws of this weak and strong eating world and say "change by force".

As a result, even if a blood-stained tragedy occurs, it cannot be said that all of the responsibility falls to Ryozuma Miko.

At the very least, I think we already have a cause that can only sharpen the tip of the accusation that is directed at us.

(That's because it's a personality I don't care about...... just......)

The problem is that Ryozumi, who has a high loss calculation, is questioning the purpose of this battle and why it is this time.I wonder if there is a real chance of winning against such a large army.

(I don't know what he's after... but... do you really have a chance?so many enemies....)

The man named Ryozuma Miko Shiba, whom Asuka knows, is basically a gesture.

Even so, there is a strong tendency for me to feel uncomfortable.

And a faction of people who want to deal with their accumulated challenges in a short time.

Taking school summer vacation tasks as an example, it would be the last week of the summer holiday to face a desk for the first time, rather than digesting them every day.

Therefore, I can understand Liang Zhen's intention to exterminate the enemy.

It is also true that the damage is less in terms of human resources, the economy, and the supply of foodstuffs than in the short-term showdown.

In that sense, it would not be strategically wrong to rally the enemy forces and strike at once.

However, with that strategic aim in mind, it is doubtful that this battle is tactically correct.

And you can only judge that right or wrong when this fight is over and the winners and losers are decided.

However, even if the man named Miko Shiba, Ryozuma, was a master in battle who was also known as the [Devil of Irakurion], it was already clear that he would win or lose, given that he was only one lord.

At least, Asuka can't see the path that Baron Okishiba will take from this situation.

(Two hundred thousand troops...... what kind of secret strategy do you have......)

The flying birds turned their attention back to the majesty of the troops spreading outside the carriage.

(This is all his... enemy...)

The quality of each soldier is by no means high, but above all, the number is enormous.

Like a locust, it would swallow up the territory of Baron Okishiba.

Kiryu sighed small as his eyes narrowed to the sand and smoke of a swarm of turbulent horses.

I was nothing but a bystander, as if I were biting my own helplessness.

So, the flying bird didn't notice.

To the gaze of a man who just stares at himself like that...
