Sharie’s Army VS. The Defense Force of the Trade City
The trade city is the economic engine and treasury of the nation.
And the well-organized roads that connect the trade city to other cities and towns streamline the movement of people.

Left Flank Army Central Army Right Flank Army
West Sharie’s Army
The citizens of villages and towns.
Against the invading army from another continent.
“I think the army will handle it.”
“There’s nothing here anyway.”
“They can’t possibly invade this far, can they?”
“I participated in a small skirmish with a neighboring country in the past. Expeditions are ridiculously wasteful of supplies. They can’t get this far.”
Without any sense of impending crisis.
It felt like pursuing the route the Suurl Army had advanced on, and some conditions would be presented for amalgamation or overtaking, or perhaps a declaration of defeat.
Sharie ordered her twin sisters to take the army on a roundabout southern route and reach the enemy’s capital and royal capital before the Suurl Army, no matter what.
Left Flank General Hamilton.
Right Flank General Hamilton.
Central Army General Sharie.
The army, divided into three.
They advanced south, crushing villages and towns as they were found.
And on the great gashidou leading to the trade city, they closed the distance to the Suurl Army’s current front line.
“All troops! Commence attack! Destroy the obstructive fences! Fire magic bullets!”
Dada da da!
“Next, live rounds! Fire!”
Dodoro do do! Don!
The enemy has established their main force on higher ground.
Those in front of us are mere sacrifices to gauge our combat power.
Uooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
“Newcomers from the hilltop!”
Sharie inquired the observation unit for information on the newcomers.
“Messenger, messenger from the observation unit.”
The newcomers.
It turns out they are monsters and magical soldiers, mere rumors in town.
“They transplant [magic] into human bodies. They’re as disgusting as they look. Magic bullets, attack the newly appeared enemy units! Don’t let anything that disgusting come near me!”
Ooooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo!
The Central Army attacked ferociously.
Left Flank Hamilton.
“Don’t let General Sharie do all the fighting! Assault units! Break through the enemy’s fence!”
Woooooooo ooooo ooooo!
Hamilton’s Skill.
Berserker’s Rage. Turns subordinates and those under his control into berserkers.
The assault units, with broken speech, attack the fence, which obstructs them from killing enemy soldiers, with all their might.
Even if their bodies are damaged by magic bullets or live rounds, the pain is dulled in their berserk state, where they do not fear death.
These assault units are unstoppable.
“NGAHHHHHHHHH!”
“Shoot! Stab them to death! Don’t let them break the fence, you hear!”
Hearing the report of her younger sister’s fierce fight,
Her elder sister Hamilton felt she couldn’t lose either.
Support Skill.
Hunter’s Song.
“When you find your prey ~ Aim, aim, aim well.
Watch carefully where they try to dodge, or you’ll miss~
When you find your prey ~…”
This applied an accuracy bonus to the attacks of her subordinates and those under her control.
This made their attacks nearly unavoidable.
“Uraaaaaaaaaaa! ”
Dada da da! Dada da da!
The now unavoidable magic bullets had their trajectories corrected as if they had a will of their own.
“Kya! Gyaaaaaaaa!”
Magical Beasts.
A designation given to those whose bodies have transformed into beasts due to blood extracted from monsters, their minds also becoming bestial.
Magical Soldiers.
A designation given to those who have had part of their bodies transformed into that of a monster, but their consciousness remains human.
The Magical Beast and Magical Soldier units that descended from the hill suffered heavy damage.
They became a swarm of wounded, useless before even reaching the front lines.
Because they were sturdier than human bodies, they couldn’t die easily.
With foreign substances inside their bodies, their self-regeneration would seal bleeding and cuts,
But every movement would re-injure their blood vessels and cells with these foreign objects.
“Gu ga ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
The Magical Beast and Magical Soldier units were easily routed by Sharie’s Army’s attack.
The morale of the main force and reserve units on the hilltop dropped significantly.
As those fleeing to the trade city began to increase,
The number of long-range shellings from the hilltop also decreased.
“Go! Drive out the enemy on the hilltop!”
“Ooooooo oooooo!”
Sharie’s Army charged up the hill.
Overwhelming numbers. High morale.
Several hours later.
Sharie’s Army’s flag, with a crown and a heart mark, stood on the hilltop.
“We’re going to the trade city!”
“Uooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Their morale remained high even after consecutive battles.
Sharie’s Army reorganized slightly and descended the hill to conquer the trade city.
After defeating the defense force on the hilltop,
The trade city surrendered unconditionally to Sharie’s Army.
They opened their gates, offering gold, silver, and beautiful women and handsome men from the brothels.
In exchange, the residents of the trade city secured their lives and safety.
“And so, another brilliant achievement has been added to my record~”
“Congratulations, Sister~”
Hehehe, thank you~! This is all thanks to your fierce fights~
Sharie praised Hamilton and Hamilton,
And rested for a night at the mansion of a great noble in the trade city.
“Now then, we’re off to conquer the next city~!”
“Yes, Sister~!”
Sharie’s Army.
Leaving behind a detachment to guard the trade city until reinforcements arrived from the rear,
They proceeded ahead of the Suurl Army’s invasion route.
