The Sharshar Kingdom Army.
An army ordered to be annihilated in a encirclement battle.
Inside the main camp’s position.
“There are brats here.”
“So those are the esteemed students from the Royal Capital.”
“Heeh, them.”
Whisper, whisper.
They’re talking about us.
My subordinates don’t hear it well.
“Commander, he’s unpleasant.”
“Well, don’t worry about it.”
“Roger.”
Several days have passed since we surrounded the town.
I endured until today, having been told not to do anything suspicious while disguised among the men.
“Shall we go now? ♪”
“Yay! ♪”
“We’ve been waiting! ♪”
I guess he wasn’t exactly a man.
“Interrogator, Torturer ♪”
“Hm. You were the representative for the students, weren’t you? What do you need.”
He’s in a bad mood.
Well, I suppose he doesn’t like a child like me speaking to him as an equal.
It took us a few tens of minutes to officially get permission to leave this place.
“Don’t get in the way of other units. Be careful.”
“We wish you good luck, soldiers.”
“——!”
When I salute.
My subordinates hastily salute as well.
Encirclement Position →→→ ???
The vanguard departed.
They sure made a show of it.
“Now we have no fun.”
“Right?”
A village that was burned down.
A pile of bones and leftovers from a livestock farm.
Wherever we travel.
We can’t get food or women.
The fear of starvation from food shortages.
Abstinence, unable to unleash our desires.
We’re at a critical point where our group might break apart at any moment.
“Oh… OOOOOOH! ♪! Look…”
“U… Ah… Huh? ”
In our path.
An oasis. Something that will perfectly solve our current predicament ♪!
We discovered a village not yet ravaged by the army! !
“You guys… *Fufufu*, there’s no need to say more ♪!”
We’ve been holding back.
Once we find prey, there’s only one thing left to do.
Even without my orders.
They split into three groups, forming a formation to surprise the village from three locations.
Rustle… Sooo…… Clank!
“Fireeeeee ♪!”
The ones to our left started it.
Paaan! Paan!
As if expelling everything they’ve been holding back.
They fired their guns repeatedly. There’s still room for improvement.
They fired without minding the barrel warping from the heat.
“Hyahyah yah ♪!”
“Die, you bastards ♪!”
Huh?
There are no voices from the village.
Is this… perhaps…
“Ughhhhhhhh”
“There’s nobody hoooooomeeeeee”
Ah, as expected.
It’s a village that has already evacuated.
Well, I suppose it’s because we’ve been with the army for several days.
Now then, what should I do about what’s pent up?
We can’t kill anyone. We can’t violate anyone.
It’s just building up more stress…
“Ughhhhhhhhh”
“Wooooomennnn. Puuuuussssy yyyyooooooo”
Dada da! Taaan! Byakyuuuun!
“Whoa. You guys stop shooting your guns already!? Stop it!”
“It’s pointing this way! It’s pointing this way!”
“Gah. Y-You…”
“Take cover! They’re about to run out of ammo.”
“Commander, are you safe!? I can’t hear anything over the gunshots! Someone! Confirm the Commander’s safety!?”
Dada da! Dada da! Kachine! Kachi kachi…
The ammo ran out.
When I slammed the gun onto the ground.
The gun’s frame had bent.
I can’t shoot anymore. If I shot, I’d die from a misfire or lose a hand.
“Restrain them—!”
“——Uoooooh! That was too close! You bastard!”
“What did you say! My arm is hurting more because your stray bullet grazed me! ”
“This guy! You fired so much! I wanted to shoot too, you idiot!”
“Guh, wha— What reason do you have to hit me… It’s ridiculous, isn’t it!?”
Those who went berserk and those who were harmed.
They’re using this chance to vent! And a huge fight broke out.
Me? I’m in a safe spot behind some rocks, waiting for the commotion to die down.
I quickly scanned the entire village with my Astral Body.
Most houses have only a little food left.
And when I look at the ground closely.
Traces that seem to be enemy soldier footprints are still there.
Based on the direction, it’s slightly off from the direction we were heading.
Shall I go there?
After all, the villages ahead will probably evacuate too.
It’s many times better to attack a place where there are definitely targets ♪!
Gyaaa! Urya! Ouch it hurts! Give up! Give up!
It seems it’s over.
“Whoa…”
Is this professional wrestling? Or judo?
My subordinates, their joints completely locked, are exhausted.
Without them noticing, I cast healing magic on them.
I also used mental magic to encourage calmness.
“Ugh… Huh?”
“My legs… my legs, huh?”
They tilt their heads, feeling the pain and dissatisfaction lessening.
“You guys feel refreshed, right?”
“Ah, yes.”
“Probably…”
☆→→→Ruins→→→Shelter?
Following the footprints, we found a considerable number of troops and trench positions.
I confirmed it was the enemy army with my Astral Body.
“It’s the enemy, right?”
“Probably. Look at that flag.”
Sometimes, to lure out enemy stragglers.
They might fly their own flag in the camp.
“Shh, don’t make too much noise. The watch might spot us.”
“Understood.”
Good, if you understand.
Now, based on my Astral Body’s reconnaissance, our current firepower is insufficient.
We’re also barely scraping by on food.
We can’t afford to wait idly for the enemy to get careless.
“We’ll attack at night.”
“Yes.”
We’ll eat our fill until nightfall.
And take a short nap.
“It’s gotten dark.”
“Multiple lights confirmed in the enemy base.”
“It would be nice if it were mealtime, but it’s likely for guard duty. Don’t let your guard down. Sneak in stealthily under the cover of darkness.”
“Understood. Leave it to us. The chance to finally get our spoils of war has come, Gufufu ♪. I won’t mess up ♪!”
“Don’t compete and make noise, okay?”
“Yes ♪!”
You guys are elbowing each other.
I can’t trust you…
Even if our numbers decrease, as long as our objective is achieved.
We can eat and violate for several weeks, so if we die, it’s self-inflicted misfortune.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes… Don’t push!”
Stealthily… Stealthily…
We blackened our faces and clothes with charcoal,
Melting into the night darkness,
We crept towards the lights of the enemy camp.
Enemy Camp and Shelter.
“Fuuu… sleepy…”
“The relief guards will be here soon. Hang in there a little longer—”
“Ah, ah. If only this war hadn’t happened, I would have joined the Knight (Golem) unit by now…”
“Are you still saying that?”
“But you know. If only this war hadn’t happened. By now, I’d be a Pilot, popular…”
“Hey? What’s— What the?! Chok… Gurugug…”
The guard, his neck and side gripped by an arm extending from the night,
Before he could scream, he received a fatal blow to the chest and neck and died anticlimactically.
Thud.
“The watch is eliminated.”
“We eliminated them too.”
Nod.
Equipping the guard’s armor and weapons,
We made it seem to the relief guards and those out and about that the watch was alive and guarding as usual.
Beside them, McGillis and his group waited for the next enemy soldier to appear.
Ten minutes later.
The relief guards, having finished their dinner and duties, appeared.
“Sorry for the wait ♪. Kafu?!”
“Sorry for the wait ♪. Huh? You’re not in good spirits… Huh? You too, did I— Thwack… Oi! Stop joking— Hhhuugh? Nn, Nnn?!”
“It’s taking too long.”
“My apologies.”
The difference in height.
I intended to aim for the throat, but
It was slightly off, hitting the collarbone, and the wound was shallow.
Thud.
“Let’s hurry up and change so we can go.”
“Yes.”
McGillis and his group began to move, hiding in the shadows of the two they had changed into.
Their target: the refugee residential area.
If the non-combatants panic.
The enemy soldiers won’t be able to deploy their formations as they please.
Even if they deploy, if they accidentally shoot the refugees.
They’ll turn into a mob, or the panic will intensify further.
The speed of command transmission will slow down.
“Now, the Blood Boiling for the First Time in a While ♪. The Feast of Carnal Desire Begins! ~~ ♪”
“Yes ♪♪. Peropero ♪. A Good Woman~~, Slurp ♪.”
