marinad Kingdom the Direction from which the harpy bombers flew away I don’t know how big this planet is so I don’t know exactly how far it is from the surface I’ve heard that on Earth it’s about 5 km I wonder if it varies depending on the altitude while thinking about this I Checked the mechanism of the swivel Cannon everything is fine the bolt action rifle is also fine the quadruple scope I’ve installed is set to zero in on the target at a distance of 100 m this is actually another perk of attaching a quadruple scope to a bolt action rifle In my inventory whenever I attach the scope in my inventory it is always set to zero at 100 m with virtually no error I haven’t tested to see whether it even adjusts for the temperature and other conditions at the time you look nervous I was a little surprised when someone Called out to to me from behind when I turned around I saw sfie standing there in her usual leather bodysuit fully armed with the Pale Moon revolver two cooker knives and a belt pouch containing a speed loader for the revolver she also wore some sort of pouch on her waist that’s right this Will be my first war killing people I’ve said it before but I’m just a regular guy who’s never been in a real fight before in my world you fought bravely against gizmer though that thing is not human it’s the same humans subhumans and gizmer are all the Same they’re all living beings it would be a lot easier if it were that simple I haven’t reached that point yet maybe but I don’t know I haven’t really felt it since I came to this world wandering around the forest getting beaten up by silie nearly getting beaten up and Lynched by a mob of marinad citizens getting collared sleeping with silie exploring the forest working on various things to fight gizar getting along with everyone somehow fighting off gizmer and starting to work to reclaim the marinad kingdom how many days have I spent in this world has it been more than 2 Months half a year has not passed yet is it about 3 months or 4 months I’m not sure every day is so different from life on Earth so exciting so dreamlike in this world I’m a unique and special person and many people need me in this world I’m not one of the many Others named kuk shabata but a unique being named kuk Ren the author wrote the first name in ki and the second one in Katakana what’s wrong you look into the distance no I don’t know maybe I’m just naive in the face of battle random thoughts popped in and out of my head it Seems that I am not in a proper state of mind that’s for sure I put my bolt action rifle in my inventory took out a plastic bottle of water and took a sip do you want a drink too sfie yeah I’ll have some sfie took the bottle from my Hand and gulped it down her throat made a gurgling sound and she slurped it lustily what is it it’s embarrassing when people stare at me like that sorry I took the bottle from sfie and put it in my inventory then I turned my gaze again to the direction From which the harpies had flown away how far away are they would I be able to hear the bombs from here as I was thinking about this I was hugged from behind by sfie she wrapped her arms around my body and tightened her Hold On Me kuk if you’re in pain don’t push Yourself though it’s strange since I’m the one who’s making you do this kosok has been helping me enough no enough is not the right word I should say that I rely on you a lot and on top of that no one is going to ask you to get your Hands dirty with blood I won’t let them so kuk please take it easy silus words were so sweet that they penetrated deeply into my heart I guess that’s true this battle is is only for sfie and the others for the marinad citizens it’s not my place as an inhabitant of a different World I don’t have ideals or AA worth fighting for the only reason I’m taking part in this battle is for the sake of sfie thunderous sounds were heard the meaning of that sound was obvious it had finally begun the world’s first aerial bombardment a one-sided Slaughter carried out from a position where the Enemy would never be able to Counterattack no silie but I still have a respon responsibility what I touched silus arm that was around my body and squeezed it lightly I can’t just make a weapon that I know will be used in a fight give it to someone let them use it And then say that I only made it and that I am innocent because I didn’t directly kill anyone I pulled my own cheeks to get myself together be prepared kuk shibata when it comes to this I have to go as far as I can ruthlessly overwhelmingly efficiently I’m going to create a mountain of corpses and a river of blood to end this conflict now that it has started I have to be reasonable I’ll do it I see thank you kosok silus arms tighten around me the sound of distant thunderous bursts could be heard again the battle is just Around the corner the bombing was a success we’ve dealt a heavy blow to the pursuing troops fronte who had just landed on the wall exclaimed excitedly the other harpies who went with her to bomb the target were generally in the same state Maybe because of their excitement the feathers On their bodies are standing up making them look Fluffy at any rate I handed them all plastic water bottles with the lids open for some drink I know you’re excited but you need to calm down you can’t bomb someone calmly in that state of mind the harpies all looked slightly Ashamed at my words they seemed to have realized that they had been too excited when I told them the feathers that stood upside just come back to normal as they sit water perer and the others too thanks for the good work drink some water and take a break have you eaten Yet I haven’t eaten well I’ll bring you something easy to eat the harpies who had accompanied The Liberation forces had also returned to the temporary Fort there are five of them one Harpy Scout accompanies each Liberation unit and the fact that all of them have returned means that all of them have joined Forces I set out a table and put out wet hand towels and burgers perner and the others can drink and eat and take a break as for fronte and the others can you still fly yes we can still go then let’s rearm and set out again as for the Bombing targets the first priority is those who are attacking the rear guard and if those are not there then focus on the enemy Supply units after that the enemy’s main Force I’ve prepared some Bombs over there so have them attached after listening to my instructions fron And the others move to the bombing area after following them with my eyes per gave me a serious look for some reason you and fronte and the others seem to be getting along quite well we’ve spent a few days together we had a lot of opportunities to get to know each other And I guess that’s the way it goes is that so Perna brings the hamburger to her mouth with a subtle expression as if she is feeling uncomfortable about something that’s a good way to eat she must be hungry they must be giving their food as much as possible to the Liberated people there were too many of them but you guys did a good job I’ll ask you about the details when we get settled how was the effect of front’s bombing how yes I’ll tell you it was this morning that perner and the others were chased By the holy kingdoms Army all the Holy Kingdom army soldiers stationed in the rock salt mines of vinis have been cleared out and perer said that the neighboring towns suspicious of the lack of communication sent Personnel to the rock salt mines which probably exposed their activities it would be easy to Track perer and the others once they were discovered after all there were over 800 people on the trail there was no way they could hide it besides the number of people has now swelled to more than 1,000 the speed at which they were moving was slow and Sir Leonard thought It was inevitable that they would be pursued the sixth unit led the liberated people and the remaining for units acted as the main Army it was difficult to get food and water but we managed to keep it up by telling ourselves that it was just a matter of persevering until we got Back here you can rest assured of that we have plenty of water and food there is enough for everyone that’s good to hear so it was after being chased the first thing I guessed was that it was because of the fast Cavalry unit about 100 cavalrymen charged at once from Behind under the command of Sir Leonard about 40 improved crossbows fired arrows at them more than half of the arrows fired hit the cavalryman and their horses and the first shot killed about 20 cavalrymen this was followed by an attack of 20 grenades the grenades exploded one after another hurting the Cavalryman but more than that they sent them into a panic many many of them were so startled by the sudden explosion that makes the horses rearing and shake off their Riders another 20 hand grenades were thrown into the air more than half of the Cavalry troops Fell in This Attack and the morale of the troops collapsed and they retreated in disarray crossbow arrows were fired into their backs causing more damage the fact that you were able to repel the Cavalry in the first attack was significant yes it was significant that we were able to crush the assault in reverse the power Of the crossbow and grenades may have threatened them but the Cavalry stopped charging they just kept their distance and followed us the enemy’s main Force has faster legs than the liberated people’s movement speed so I think they were planning to wait for the main force And push in numbers by the way what is the size of the enemy Army that is pursuing you there are 100 Cavalry 600 infantry and 200 archers that’s an approximate number if they caught up to you you’d be in trouble even if equipped with crossbows and grenades and with the Overwhelming military might of Sir Leonard and shammer they are no match for the violence of numbers even with the five units together a force of less than 60 at best will probably be crushed by a single hit then fronte and the others appeared just as the enemy were About to catch up with us the distance between the pursuing troops and the rear guard was still a little distance so fronte and the others didn’t hesitate to drop bombs near the front line of the enemy troops the power of the official version was amazing with one blow the Main force of the enemy Army was half destroyed well it’s not something that iron armor can prevent the power radius of the harpy aerial bomb is about 25 M if five people bombarded the area successfully so that the bombing range is not covered an army of about 800 People in a dense formation would be destroyed by a single blow even if they are wearing metal armor they can’t escape instant death if they are near the hyos center the sudden bombing through the enemy’s main Force into a state of confusion and with another blow the pursuing Army was almost completely Destroyed huh seriously so the there was no point in sending fron and the others out again if both the Cavalry and the enemy main Force have been destroyed it seems that they will not attack this fort anymore no I don’t think it’s pointless it’s just that more of the Holy Kingdom’s soldiers will die oh by the way perisan is a legitimate member of the military what’s the point of having Mercy on the enemy soldiers oh you don’t take prisoners or anything when I was in the marinad Royal Army we did take prisoners but I’m not sure if We do now we don’t have any treat on warfare or the treatment of prisoners of War Perna says that even if they take prisoners and propose some kind of deal to the Holy Kingdom it is doubtful that the Holy Kingdom will agree to a deal or Even sit down to negotiate in the first place even with the people we freed this time we only have a small force of about 1,300 people at most aside from our actual fighting and production capabilities 1,300 people are about a small Town’s population it’s a small Force as small as a snot from the perspective of the Holy Kingdom which has a vast territory and many vassel states they don’t think they would come to the table on an equal footing and even though they’re still alive after that attack they’re probably on the Verge of dying or losing some of their limbs I don’t think we can afford to take care of those prisoners I think it’s the utmost Mercy to let them die to shorten their suffering time as much as possible the world is a harsh place it’s not something we should be worrying About that kind of thing is the domain of her highness the princess the internal affairs officer melty Dan s and Leonard S I see when I heard Perna’s words I honestly gave up thinking about the captives it may be ruthless but this is the result of a battle orbe it a One-sided one if you are a soldier you have to accept your fate no matter how harsh it is so now that I’ve had enough rest I’m going to go too a you’re going of course it is a chance to make the holy kingdoms people pay for their sins Perer said that with a smile she and the remaining harpies moved to the bombing area it seems that she wants to kill the Holy Kingdom Army and show no mercy let’s not make perner Angry either yeah while staring at perer and the others who were happily flying away with the air bombs I Promised myself that chapter 52 e each roll I’m back oh those bombs were amazing sometime after the second attack by the harpy bombing Squad was over many refugees or rather liberated people and Liberation Army troops returned many of them were covered in blood and mud making for a pretty impressive Sight however judging from the Expressions on their faces morale seemed to be high fronte and the rest of the standby group the harpies are tracking down the enemy troops that have escaped while perner and the others who came back earlier are resting their wings sir Leonard and shammer were covered in Blood but it was all blood and they didn’t seem to have a scratch on them this time I was saved many times by these twin fangs that kosak Dono made for me sir Leonard grinned still looking bloody and fierce yeah you look like a bloodthirsty lion when you smile like that it’s super Scary the two swords that sir Leonard carries at his waist are the excellent mithil swords that I made at his request sir Leonard had a hard time deciding what kind of Sword to use but he chose a simple straight sword the pair of Swords were named twin Fang the same as his Alias and he has been carrying them around with him ever since I gave them to him I’m glad to hear that you should go and cleanse yourselves first yes I suppose so it would be rude to stand in front of her highness with blood on my Hand it can’t be helped kuk prepare a nice meal for us okay the two blooded people walked towards the watering hole nodding obediently to my words as I watched them walk away kby and the others came up thanks for the good work are you guys hurt I’m fine the potions You gave us have healed us if it weren’t for the crossbow and the Hand Grenade we would have been in danger thanks to the weapons and tools that kosok made for us we made it out alive Indie a former Adventurer of the blue demon race repeatedly nodded at the words of wer a Wolf beast man and former guard the three of them don’t seem to be as dirty with blood and mud as Sir Leonard and shmer I asked them why that was those two attacked with hand grenades and then ran into the Cavalry if you do the same As them you’ll never live long enough as a warrior I admire them KU Indie and W each smiled bitterly they plunged themselves into it are they the main characters in a Warrior game or something so what was the battlefield like I took the table and chairs out of My inventory and handed the three of them water hand towels and burgers as I asked them what the actual Battlefield was like it’s important to get some good information n g g HR that’s right where should I start should we start with the part where the Holy Kingdom Army tracked us no I think it’s better to start with how we ended up attacking the mine right it all started when the first and second units liberated a settlement Village the first and second units liberated a settlement Village near the rock salt mine in Question and it seems that the timing was just right for the arrival of a replacement for the mine guards there were many soldiers from the Holy Kingdom army they waited until Nightfall to quietly eliminate the patrol with crossbows and then attacked the Holy Kingdom troops who were resting sir Leonard and shammer did a great job on all sides and quickly overpowered the Holy Kingdom Army The Replacements were also transporting supplies for the security forces stationed in the rock salt mine we saw this as an opportunity so Leonard thought that with a wagon and a large number of supplies they could Somehow bring the marinad citizens who were being forced to work in the rock salt mine to the great ID Wilderness so they contacted the people of the settlement Village and confirmed the situation of the Rocks salt mine they heard that some people from the village had already been sent to the rock salt Mine and that the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom had told the villagers that the working environment was very harsh and that several workers were dying every week and that if they were sent there it would be the end and that they should follow obediently if they didn’t want to Be sent there the surviving members of the Holy Kingdom’s Army were also interrogated to confirm the truth and it was confirmed that what the villagers were saying was true what happened to the surviving soldiers of the Holy Kingdom after the interrogation their punishment was left to the Villagers yes I don’t have to tell you what happened to them do I that’s what I experienced right after I arrived at the elf Village they didn’t seem to have a master to stop them though after this Liberation Mission there is no telling when the next one will be carried out Since they couldn’t leave the rock salt mine workers on which many died in just a week unattended sir Leonard hurriedly called up other units to carry out the Liberation operation of the rock salt mine this was the best chance to do so as The Liberation Army’s methods were Not yet known to the holy Kingdom’s Army the summoned units marched into the rock salt mine and waited for Knight to strike divided into two groups they climbed over the crude but sturdy log walls and advanced from both sides of the walls to quietly overwhelm the enemy Next they disposed of the Patrol inside the rock salt mine using the same tactics and then attack the barracks The Raid itself was completed quickly and smoothly but the problem began there among the people working in the rock salt mine there were quite a few injured And sick people who were too weak to walk properly they were left unattended without proper treatment and it was difficult to move them but that’s where my potions which I had given to the Liberation unit came in handy I had given them all kinds of potions one for Each person just in case this was not well received by The Liberation unit at first the potions in glass bottles were heavy and required a rather bulky potion bag to prevent them from breaking during transport however Isler and I overcame the opposition of The Liberation unit And made everyone carry a potion bag I don’t know what Isa was thinking but from my perspective as a survivalist I thought that the presence or absence of the potion would significantly improve the survival of each individual as it turned out the potion saved not the members of The Liberation unit but the Weakened workers of The Rock ult mine not exactly what I had in mind but it turned out okay with the recovered Miners and more than 800 of their families sir Leonard and The Liberation unit returned to the Village they had liberated before the rock salt mine and Began to retreat with the supplies and harvested crops of the Holy kingdoms Army the liberated people included a certain number of former adventurers and soldiers of the marinad kingdoms Army so they armed themselves with captured equipment from the holy Kingdom’s Army and took on the role of guarding the Liberated people while liberating vill along the way and returning to the Great amitt Wilderness we managed to make it back with The Village’s Harvest and the supplies we captured it was a bit of a burnout for such a large group thanks to Perna’s message we knew we could make it This far so we managed to keep our morale up the problem was the liberated people in the past 20 years no one has ever returned to the Black Forest beyond the great amid Wilderness they seem to have some hope when they saw our equipment but there was a gloomy Atmosphere in the air if I were in the same position as the liberated people I would have been anxious suddenly I was liberated from the people of the Holy Kingdom and some strongl looking people were leading me but the destination was a dead land where no one has come back For 20 years and besides I couldn’t eat enough food I didn’t have a place to sleep and I had to stay in the field yeah it’s hard even in such a situation the patience of the liberated people who managed to reach this for without exploding is amazing and when we Saw the greater mid Wilderness we were finally spotted by the holy Kingdom’s Army one of the harpies on a reconnaissance mission spotted the Holy Kingdom Army there were about 1,000 infantrymen and cavalrymen combined so at first I thought we were in trouble but the Cavalry was so few that we were Saved if there had been 200 more Cavalry we wouldn’t have been able to do anything the rest of the battle went exactly as perer had told me Harp’s aerial bombardment came after the Cavalry had been crushed by crossbow fire and grenades and the rest fled helplessly kby you managed to capture The holy Kingdom’s warhorse didn’t you it was just luck the horse had lost its Rider and was charging at me but I jumped on its back and managed to calm it down I heard that the war horse was now resting with the horse that had led The wagon but I was prepared for this and now I feel like I’ve been let down prepared I knew that the Holy Kingdom would attack here I was ready to fight too I’ve never been able to point a weapon at anyone before I’ve never even gotten into a fist fight at My Confession Kuby and the others looked at each other with strange looks on their faces and then began to laugh while holding their stomachs oh come on it’s not funny no sorry sorry well you were prepared for that weren’t you no you’re serious kuk there’s no need for you to Be so prepared kuk can make a lot of amazing weapons tools and potions you should just leave that stuff to people like us that’s right if there’s no one else who can fight you might have to muster up the courage to fight but as long as people like us who can fight are Alive and well leave it to us work K and Indie each said that and slapped me on the shoulder back and head it hurts you idiots in the first place there’s no one in The Liberation Army who doesn’t give kosok a Second Glance standing right in Front of gizmer and taking its charge is some nerve not only that kosok has amazing abilities and you’re using them correctly for the good of everyone without being conceited yet you’re not asking for much you should know how much we owe you for that if you fight in the Front line we’ll have no place to go the straightforward praise and recognition made me feel like I was about to cry ah this is not good it might be because the holy kingdoms Army retreated and the thread of tension was broken but I’m starting to feel the tears hey hey What’s wrong is it something to cry about no I’m just happy to be recognized you know it was worth all the hard work haha you’re a little more sensitive than I thought Ng ggh as W bites into his hamburger his eyes widen and the Wolf Ears on his head stand up I followed his gaze and saw perer and the other harpies smiling at us what is it they were supposed to be smiling but I felt a chill Kuby and Indie were gone before I knew it that was quick you better have a Good explanation for that I swear I’m begging you w who had been left behind ran like a rabbit he’s a wolf but how can he run like a rabbit what’s wrong with you kukan did they bully you shall I go and bring them back here perner and the Others who had driven the three men away with just a glance gathered around me and called out to me in concern what do you mean you’re going to bring them back I’m a little scared no it’s not like that I was just touched when I heard that everyone recognized me they didn’t Do anything wrong oh really I thought they were bullying our benefactor kukan well I guess I’ll stop stop to bring them back here kukama I’ll wipe your tears fufo cute in the blink of an eye Pera and the others surrounded me stroking my head with their soft warm Feathers and wiping my eyes I’m starting to feel embarrassed about being so pampered ah um thank you I’m fine now well well don’t say that by the way kukan I heard you got a feather from fronte and the others and you’re taking good care of it please take our feathers Too perhaps they had prepared them in advance but all five of The Liberation unit members handed me one of their feathers the blue feather the Red Feather the yellow feather the white feather and the gray feather the blue feather by the way belongs to perer oh Oh thank you by the way does Harpy have any special meaning in handing over their feathers to others no not really it’s a part of our own body and we don’t give it to others without permission you know it’s the same with other races right I don’t know much about this world But according to the common sense of my world that’s true it’s not every day you get to cut off your own hair and give it to someone else I’ve never seen or heard of such a custom in detail although it may have been given as a Talisman to a Lover going off to war so it has no special meaning but fronte and the others said that kukan was happy to receive it so we wanted to show our gratitude well thank you I checked the texture of each of the five feathers and place them in my inventory as I thought Each feather has a unique name the blue one is her’s feather the red one is sh’s feather the yellow one is aro’s feather the white one is eeg’s feather and the gray one is D’s feather I wonder if there’s a reason why the list doesn’t show them all as harpies feathers I Spent a while chatting with perner and the others with lots of skinship asking them about each other’s experiences during the Expedition I wondered what would happen when I heard that nearly 1,000 liberated people were heading this way but it was fortuitous that we were able to get them into the fort more Easily than I expected no I guess the hard part is yet to come come we’ll have to send most of these people back to the main base train the people who can fight and do a lot of other things there’s going to be a lot more trouble and this Is where it all starts chapter 53 in search of warmth now that things have settled down we have to deal with the next 100 or so liberated people well there’s nothing for me to do directly though the humans of the Holy Kingdom oppressed them until just before so Anyone can understand that they have a strong hostility towards humans of course I can understand that too it would be stressful for them if I just walked up to them nonchalant nevertheless I had to go out because I had something to do it was inevitable that the liberated people would see me So what to do I think I should wear fake ear fake ear fake tail dog type or walking while saying you shitty Adele ah a mask would be nice too no you’ll be fine as long as I’m around so it’s best not to do anything weird weird I thought about it pretty seriously Though so sir Leonard is a terrible person perner and the others consoled me and pampered me and I recovered a lot of energy and I went to the temporary command room where silie and Sir Leonard were discussing the future plan let’s get back to the topic for now the Liberated people are being fed we have a total of 992 people of which 303 are young men and 352 are young women in this case young means those who are in good shape and ready to fight after training what about the remaining 300 or so the remaining 300 or so are those With limb problems the elderly and children among those with broken Limbs and the elderly there are many who could regain their strength with kosok treatment sir Leonard straightened his posture and answered silus question this is the difference in response my splints are buzzing I can’t do anything about Missing limbs but I can heal the after effects of broken bones and torn muscles with my splints even old people such as those with damaged knees or hips can very likely be healed with splints and it’s a bit calculating but when I heal such wounds they are very grateful In other words there are many people who will be on my side it’s like killing two birds with one stone increasing my strength and increasing my allies as for the future plan let the liberated people rest in this fort for a few days preferably 2 days and then send them to The rear at that time we will recruit those who will stay and fight in this Fort Leonard how long do you think it will be before the enemy attacks yes the cavalry survivors will reach the fort on the territory’s border by the end of the day from there they will send fast Horses to the neighboring forts in the rear extract an organize their forces prepare their supplies and attack this fort so the earliest they could attack is 10 days and the latest within half a month I see kosok where do you think the best place to intercept them would be This temporary Fort isn’t bad and I’m inclined to make use of it now that it’s been built after all the Frontline forts are far better for defense I think it’s best to collect as much material as possible from this fort and Retreat to the Frontline Fort as soon as possible I See yeah that’s right the first priority is to send the liberated people to the rear we will divide our forces into two groups protect the liberated people and the other to maintain this temporary Fort the purpose of holding the fort is to prevent the liberated people from Being pursued we will stay here until the rear transport is complete and keep the holy Kingdom’s forces in check I think a week will be enough time to complete the rear transport to the Frontline Fort the rest is to be sent back to the main base right that’s right I think it’s better to let those who have the will to fight stay at the Frontline Fort and train them yumu let’s go with that plan silie nodded and the course of action for the temporary Fort was decided here now then I’m going to start preparing various things two about 1,000 liberated people were to rest in the fort for 2 days in the meantime I went to the underground shelter located between the temporary Fort and the Frontline Fort and completed the task of expanding the shelter’s interior at the moment the shelter was only supposed to Hold about 50 people at the most so it would be completely overc capacity if it had 100 people let alone 1,000 the extermination of gizmer is progressing but it is not yet complete it was clear that we would not be able to pass the night safely without expansion Fortunately I have plenty of stone and soil so there is no shortage of materials for expansion accompanied by W perer and a few other Liberation Army soldiers as guards I worked hard to expand ahead of the liberated people you didn’t need a guard did you no I don’t Feel safe going alone and if something unforeseen happens I will be screwed well I guess that’s true I took care of gizmer on the road with my shotgun and rifled slugs there is no time to be concerned about gizmer as long as perer flies ahead and finds gizar there’s Nothing to be afraid of we quickly ran through the Wilderness and and I quickly began the expansion the guards exterminated gizmer in the vicinity and in 4 days I had expanded four shelters the capacity has increased 10-fold to 500 people and if pushed hard enough it can accommodate around 1,000 people and On the fifth day welcome back thanks for the hard work danan and Isa greeted us Jag with her bolt action rifle is on top of the wall she and W are waving at each other oh so they’re getting along huh I’ve already heard the situation via Harpy’s message I assume you’ve Completed the expansion correct oh it’s perfect it can accommodate 500 people under normal circumstances or even 1,000 people if it’s packed it may be a bit cramped but it’s 100 times better than camping out in the open I see I’m sorry for all the trouble you should get some Rest today yeah I’ll be heading back to the temporary Fort tomorrow I have to collect the materials for the temporary Fort and do some minor work the temporary Fort has had a good deal of work done to it and if it is going to be abandoned anyway I want to give it a Proper send off even if it’s abandoned and be used as a bridge head for the Holy Kingdom I won’t be angry T then there are things I want kuk to look at first Isla looked up at me with her big eye and pulled my hand a little the eye Are somewhat brighter and it seems as if they’re trying to ask me for praise I have to admit it’s kind of cute then let’s see it I don’t mind a little surprise I will show you how it’s done kosok must be tired so take it easy danan snorted and warned iser with a Rice smile it seems that while I was at the temporary Fort there was some major development while Isa took me by the hand I walked towards the development room oh please come in when I entered the development room I was greeted by Sykes the skinny 8man Alchemist and the Female Engineers surrounding him Isla it’s nice that you’re getting along Isla said her large ey swiveling away from me I made Sykes as a sacrifice in this Development Area well you know as Isla said we’re really getting along well more importantly I want kuk to see this I feel so sorry for Sykes that she said more importantly a Sykes is less important I won’t forget your sacrifice you know now more importantly iser is confident in her work do you think I’m terrible too don’t worry about the details otherwise you’ll go bold what’s This it is a box the size of a school bag it’s made of leather a wooden frame and metal parts and seems to be designed to be carried like a school bag besides there are a number of dials and switches lined up I can’t tell what it’s for by Looking at it this is a prototype Golem Communicator Golem Communicator it allows you to talk to people at a distance the Golem encodes the words you speak and sends them away as a Magic wave the receiver receives it analyzes the code and generates sound F moo in in Other words you can encode your voice into Data send it on a Magic wave decode the data on the receiving end and output it again as sound huh I thought I was teaching them simple Morse code but aren’t we jumping to the realm of encrypted communication how far can this Thing reach we were able to communicate with the main base without any problems seriously it’s amazing no this is really great the distance from here to the main base must be close to 60 km it’s amazing that a communication device of this size can communicate over Such a distance isn’t it Isla made a smug face in response to my praise you can praise me more you can Pat me on the head too wow wow you’re a genius Mage and a genius Alchemist mufu Tilda I Pat Isla’s head as she puts her hands on her Hips and stretches her flat chest this achievement is truly amazing it’s an achievement that makes me feel like I’ll allow her to make that smug face for the rest of her life now we just have to see how how far we can communicate H yes so If you’re coming back I’d like you to accompany me on this experiment I see I’ll just have to carry this thing on my back yeah can you do that sure I try to carry the Golem communication device on my back it’s pretty heavy but I don’t think I’ll have any problem running with It a Sykes while Isler and I were talking about the Golem Communicator the women took him somewhere I’ll pray for his soul other Pro prot types were also made including a portable thermal cooker a pot shield and a quick lime thermal cooking bag only the pot shield and the Portable thermal cooker could be added to the crafting list through item creation so it seems that there is still room for improvement in the quick lime thermal cooking bag and the Golem Communicator ah I’m tired I’m a little tired too as soon as I returned to this Fort I was stuck in the development room trying to verify as much as I could hear find ideas for improvement and produce materials for future research before I knew it it was already dark outside there’s a nap room for Craftsman in the back of the development room so I think I’ll sleep there today I could go to the room that silie and I used but she’s not going to be there and if I’m going to sleep alone it doesn’t matter where I sleep I’ll eat and go to bed I’ll take a bath tomorrow ham I took out something From my inventory that can be eaten immediately an Isla and I immediately filled our stomachs with it today’s menu includes pasta with meat sauce and po potato pottage soup both should be warm and tasty but I’m too tired to enjoy them shall we go to bed H iser and I Went to the nap room and threw ourselves into our separate beds oh I can smell the good stuff in the bedroom maybe because one of the female Craftsman usually uses this room I let go of my Consciousness while thinking about such useless things H is it morning I woke up When the light Shone through the half open door I had a long run yesterday and was stuck in the development room as soon as I got here so I don’t feel too tired but the warmth of silie snuggled next to me suits my soul H isn’t there something wrong I fearfully turn over The blanket to see what the warmth is that snuggled up to me and somehow I find Isa crawling into my bed she was hugging my body her legs Tangled around my right leg sleeping happily the only thing that saved me was that we were both properly dressed no Isla has taken Off her robe and jacket and is wearing only a thin white negl like garment and panties there was no protection for her flat chest so it was transparent this was dangerous if anyone saw us they would definitely misunderstand us and most of the time this kind of scene will be witnessed by Someone H someone sleeping at the the blacksmith lamia San peaked out from the door of the nap room she can see me turning over the blanket and Isa hugging me in light clothing take your time Su suu and the figure of lamia disappears as she dextrously Retreats from her peing position Hey wait it’s a misunderstanding it’s a misunderstanding H I hurriedly reach out my hand but the movement of my body wakes up Isa oh good grief hey good morning Isla morning can you explain to me why you’re crawling into my bed in such light clothing H kosok went to bed First right indeed I think I fell asleep as soon as I threw myself on the bed however I think Isa was sitting on the bed across from me at that time I thought I’d sleep in the bed over there too I see but the blanket was so thin it Was cold I guess that’s fair to say I checked the blanket and found that it was indeed a bit thin it’s not a problem for me because I slept with my clothes on but if I slept in thin clothes like Isla I’d be cold so I hugged kosak and Went to sleep it was warm shouldn’t you have slept with your clothes on my clothes would get wrinkled besides I always sleep like this well but you shouldn’t go into a man’s bed you’ll be eaten alive kosok can eat me though e i was baffled by her straightforwardness Isla’s eye which Look straight up at my face are still a little drowsy and narrowed as if she had just woken up from sleep but the light behind them really told me that she was not in a sleepy State there’s never a dull moment when I’m with kosok your abilities your knowledge and your ideas Always surprise and inspire me in some way I want to be with you forever uh no I’m very happy but I have sfie you know I know her highness the princess and kosok are in love with each other I don’t want to get in between them nor do I think I can I just want you to allow me to be by your side the big eyes staring at me were moist and isa’s soft cheeks were flushed with the big confession of her lifetime I don’t know how I should answer but I do know that iser is making this confession with great determination From my ethical point of view accepting this confession would be too insincere a choice both to sfie and Isa however according to the ethics of this work world it is not dishonest or insincere for a man to have relations with more than one woman as long as the man is Worthy enough to provide for all of them it’s okay or rather it’s an honorable man to provide for more than one woman there is a saying that if you live in a country you must follow its ways I wonder if I should make up my mind now That I’ve decided to live in this world I don’t hate Isler either is it a no no no no it’s not a no but it’s not something I can just jump into as well you see I’m not from this world and I’m still not comfortable with the gender Relations in this world yeah so we’ll start with friends weren’t you my friend before Isla looked at me sadly no no no we were friends we have always been friends I’m sorry for the way I said it what I mean is we are more than friends But less than lovers I don’t know about lover but does that mean that kuk will accept me slow down take it easy you have to talk it over with silie first I’ll talk to her too H okay pecking order is important I have no intention of disturbing it either Isa Smiles with a Happy expression hum cute iser is so cute I replied on the spur of the moment but what should I explain to sfie no I’d like to ask her some questions about the harpies so let’s talk about it head on besides there are other things that need to be done rather than love affairs Right now since Isa seems to agree with me let’s put all that aside for a moment and do what I have to do it’s not that I’m trying to distract myself from the problem or make it go away it’s not good to be dishonest it’s not good is it yeah but I’m not used to this kind of thing so please forgive me if I run away or postpone it a little bit chapter 54 hopping around after eating in the development room I visited the waiting area where denan was in order to return to the temporary Fort again as soon as Perna sawler and me she shivered and said how is it kosok has accepted me while hugging me tightly Isa replies to perer in a soothing voice when perer hears this she looks astonished she is once again mumbling something about having been beaten it’s a little scary What are you going to do kuk danan completely ignoring the exchange between perer and Isa began to ask me about my course of action I respect danan for ignoring the circumstances and saying that and so I’ll also go along with it I’ll run back to the temporary Fort the Liberated people should be arriving by now so I’ll leave it to you to prepare for their reception and transport leave that to me but are you planning to go alone well it’s too dangerous to go alone if something unfor happens there’s nothing I can do me I’ll go with you the Stun perner regains Consciousness and begins to hop around asterisk flapping asterisk her wings there is a lot of Honor mapia but that’s the only way I can describe it I can feel the desperation in her voice t n he said pan pan and Pata here it would certainly be Helpful if Perna could Scout ahead for me right but I need at least one more person to accompany me to be honest I feel uneasy about being alone with Perna it becomes like a single action single action for both of us and if something unforeseen happens we might be stuck the Harpy perner is always like that so she might be okay with it but I’m pretty nervous about it that’s true then then how about we the harpy unit accompany you if five of us go with you two to take cover and three to scout ahead and Keep an eye on the surrounding area I think there will be no problem the speed of movement will also be faster and I think it is better to place Personnel capable of aerial bombardment on the front line in case the enemy approaches the temporary Fort H if you say so That’s certainly true I won’t lose to gizmer as long as I’m not taken by surprise even if they surround me I can escape up with W through block jumping and shoot them with my gun unilaterally as long as the harpies are on guard there’s certainly no problem with me Running on the ground alone when I looked at danan he seemed to think that Perna’s suggestion was reasonable and nodded back and then there’s Isla who’s still hugging me she was staring at Perna even more so than before on the other hand Perna who is being gazed at By Isa seems somewhat uncomfortable and averts her eyes I wonder if this is like a crow that doesn’t like a scares eyes balloon star te n one of a bird repellent devices Don’t force yourself yes ask her highness for permission first yes I feel like they’re talking About my chastity right in front of me without any intervention from me danan hey don’t look away so blatantly you have to prepare yourself for what’s to come don’t forget you spat those words at me yourself okay I know in fact danan is being secretly pressed by the Wives of widows with children that’s what KU told me as for be I never heard and saw anything about him he often plays with children though H maybe he’s a pedophile I’ll try to find out next time after dumping the excess supplies in my inventory into the warehouse at the Frontline Fort I started moving to the temporary fort with perer and the other Harpy Scouts by the way the number of harpies belonging to the Liberation Army is 18 in total of which nine are stationed at the temporary Fort five are accompanying me one is stationed at the Frontline Fort two two at the main base and one at the first base closest to the Black Forest the harpies at the Frontline Fort will be short-handed still it seems likely that a number of them will be sent to help the liberated people those people will Be used to send out messages to the various locations in the first place communication between the Frontline Fort and the main base has been established using Golem communication devices so there is no need to use harpies to send messages today we’re skipping one underground shelter and going to the Second shelter if if all goes well we should meet up with the liberated people I think so suppose the liberated people left the temporary for 2 days after us in that case they should be able to reach the second shelter Before Sunset today if all goes well the lodgings for Tonight might be cramped many people may not be able to accept me right away yet if I want I can build a sturdy house on the surface or maybe I can just build an aerial base yeah let’s do that that way we can both have a relaxing moment I Felt much better when I thought about it that way okay let’s run as hard as we can so I ran as if I were flying making full use of my own running and command actions to move Run and Jump no it’s more like hopping isn’t that mysterious Jumping move of yours really quick kukan I guess so you think it’s creepy right by using command actions to move diagonally and accelerate my jumps as well as repeating subtle twists of the waist and jumps on my own I’m hopping around the will Wilderness at an apparently abnormal speed to the Casual Observer my movements look absolutely creepy it’s like the laws of physics go to hell no I won’t go that far but what’s the principle I don’t know either I’ve been trying to recreate the so-called Bunny Hop or Bop or straff jump technique while moving which I’ve Been doing a lot since the other day and I finally managed to do it I’m jumping at an abnormal speed while changing my direction slightly in the air it’s abnormal no matter how you look at it it’s just like the way we’re flying isn’t it is that so why can’t we fly too If you ask us why we can fly we can only answer that we can Perna says so as she Glides over me as I hop from one place to another certainly considering the size of the body it is unlikely that perer and the other harpies would be Able to fly with the size of their wings I wondered if they were using wind magic or something similar but they don’t seem to be consciously aware of what they’re doing if we continue like this we’ll be able to get there earlier than planned right I guess so though let’s make a Comfortable place to sleep and take a bath a bath sounds good I heard from fronte and the others that it’s really nice baths are good I’d like to spread the habit of bathing to everyone I’ve heard that the main base can use an infinite amount of magic power since it Can also use an infinite amount of water wouldn’t it be a good idea to build a public bath house that sounds good a public bath house let’s build them then spread the culture of bathing to the whole world a oh I feel like taking a bath as soon as possible letun hurry up Kuk kuk can you hear me I can hear you just fine over no problem here too as expected there’s no problem at this distance arriving at the second shelter while the sun was still high I left perer and the others to guard the area and search for the liberated people I Finished building temporary accommodation for perer and the others and me at 5 m above the ground right now I’m waiting for perer and the others to arrive and test testing the Golem communication device I will try to communicate twice tomorrow once when I reach the third shelter and once when I Reach the fourth shelter yes that would be great theoretically it should be able to reach as far as the temporary Fort still I don’t know how far it can actually go without problems it seems that the Magic wave used in the Golem Communicator is of a special wavelength designed to reach a considerable Distance but how far it can actually reach is still unclear because there is no precedent theoretically considering the output power and wavelength we can guess how far it can reach but we don’t know if it will actually do so in some cases it might be better to use a relay station relay Stations what does that mean in other words the idea is to build a base station that can only receive and retransmit Magic waves between communicators to widen the reach suppose the receiver’s antenna is larger and the transmitter’s antenna is placed higher in that case the reach of the Magic wave Can be further expanded the problem would would be to secure the power to keep it running and to maintain it also I think we need a special Golem core yeah but I think I can manage that kok’s idea is interesting I’ll discuss it with Sykes and the others as soon as possible Yeah don’t get too worked up yeah you too be careful okay see you tomorrow yeah good night I love you kok oh oh thank you the communication ended r no no no you can’t do that lady I’ll be so embarrassed if you throw out favors so straightforwardly AR I’m back kukan What’s wrong when I was riding in agony covering my face with my hands perer who had just returned gave me a strange look what a timing what’s wrong oh kukan oh I’m glad you came too the place where we were staying was getting a bit crowded apparently all the hary who had been Following the liberated people on their migration had also arrived I fit and Ray came here on a post Transportation Mission fronte the blue feathered Harpy Smiles dazzlingly as she says this fit the orange feathered Harpy and Ray the jet black feathered Harpy nodded in agreement we’ll go lead the liberated People right all right I’ll get the bath and food ready oh a bath um can we come in too yes it’s okay right after you get the liberated people into the shelter that’s fine as expected of you Captain you know better fronte and the others hugged perer who permitted them you Can’t stop bathing once you’ve taken a bath can you I know I know I think the construction of public bath hous is a must I’m off then see you later perner and the others are flying off again after seeing them off I prepared a bath in the aerial accommodation prepared a Meal and then expanded the accommodation a bit fronte and the others would probably be staying here too come to think of it fronte and the others seemed to be involved in the matter of my lack of sleep didn’t they should I get their testimony before questioning sfie no I Don’t know if it’s as I imagined it might end up like stepping on a landmine but even if I questioned silie she might just say nothing no I don’t think that’s the case with sfie but still as I was working and agonizing over the problem the sun was beginning to set I was Worried about whether the liberated people would arrive in time so I went outside and found that they had just arrived as expected a thousand people are quite a large number perhaps it was because it was already the third day they stayed at the shelter but they formed a line and smoothly entered the Shelter from the looks of their faces it seems that morale is not extremely low or rather there are a lot of people looking up at the accommodation where they staying I wave my hand to show my friendship but only a child waved back damn I’m not sad at all in the meantime Perer and the others came back washed their hands and it was time to eat Harpy and the others aren’t very skilled with their hands or maybe their wings they are not very dextrous so they prefer food that they can eat with their hands they can use a fork and a spoon without Any problem but they are not good at twirling a fork to eat pasta or carving meat with a fork and a Knife by themselves today we’re going to have Dona Kebab style the vegetables are fresh and delicious the sauce goes well with the meat having a hamburger every Time would be a bore so this time I decided on a kind of grilled meat sandwich with lots of fresh vegetables Dona Kebab style I had time on my hands so why not for dessert we had fruits of the forest brought in from the Black Forest it looked like wild strawberries It’s been a while since I’ve had these berries we ate a lot of them when we were in the Black Forest the harpies chatted happily as they proceeded with their meal um everyone is cute when I look at them this way in this world the percentage of beautiful girls or rather The percent percentage of beautiful women is strangely High and the men are all handsome well what I’m trying to say is that it’s a blessing to see cute girls enjoying themselves and eating delicious looking food I love it when they eat a lot of food after the meal The Next Step was to take a bath well go ahead and take a bath I’ll be back later no no no you go first we can do it later that’s right I think you should be the first one to take a bath I didn’t teach them the concept of the first bath Though for some reason perer and the others urged me to go in first H maybe they don’t want me to get in the leftover water or some such no if it bothers you I can change the water ladies should be first in such matters then let’s go in together fronte started To say something outrageous that’s not a good idea that’s good I’ll wash your back too a no I don’t think that would be a good idea perner agreed and the other harpies are also on board no no no no no it’s okay it’s okay let’s go wait wait you guys Should be a little bit more embarrassed wait you’ve got more power than expected we’re doing this as a token of our gratitude we’re really grateful you know despite my rather serious resistance a total of eight harpies dragged me slowly to the bathroom no no stop it you’re going to Do something nasty on me and call it a service it’s just like indeni just like indeni the whole body wash and massage using Harpy’s feathers was very pleasant yes once I tasted this it was unbearable I didn’t have to worry about my chastity but I was able to see Everything no wait a minute don’t massage there I said no that’s out I said out now I’m worried about my chastity as long as it’s it’s not real it’s safe otherwise it’s a deception chapter 55 he as fast as a centur in foot speed the next morning I woke up Feeling perfect it was really refreshing I slipped out of bed got dressed and stretched hum refreshing a isn’t Harpy sand in my bed no there isn’t I refuse to go that far no it’s not that I’m dissatisfied with the harpies you know they’re all cute and Isler too but There’s nothing underhanded about them and there’s no way I’d feel bad about them giving me straight favors but it’s another thing to have that kind of relationship with them completely in that sense yesterday’s bath was a close call I’d like to think it was a close Call but I’ll be sure to tell sfie about it I swear by it as I break down the wall with my pickaxe ah yes I made my room almost a secret room by blocking the doorway with a wall there was a block with a window window and an air Hole in it but I made sure that nobody could get through not even the harpies the reason why I went this far was because I decided that if someone broke into my bedroom and tempted me I would probably not be able to resist I learned That in the bath I can’t argue with the idea that I’m weak-willed but I don’t think a man who doesn’t react to being forced into a straight favor and asked out is a normal man at least I can’t that’s why I had to shut it off from the Beginning if you want to laugh at me as a lousy guy then laugh haaha Sai let’s get breakfast ready good morning kukan good morning Perna greets me in the morning and the other harpies greet me in the same voice morning shall we have breakfast the girls faces are Bright as they reply yes I thought it would be awkward because of my blatant refusal to block the entrance but it didn’t seem to be the case I felt a little relieved as I served them bread salad vegetable soup and a platter of cut steak for breakfast kuk s are you Worried about what happened yesterday well yes I think I was too blunt and stubborn I ran into the room as soon as I got out of the bath and sealed it off I told perner and the others to forgive me if they were tempted any further Because I was afraid they might try to touch me that’s what we say but please don’t take it too seriously as for us it’s enough that you’ve forgiven us to the extent that you’ll make a move on us if we seduce you I think it’s a man’s Fate that if is invited by the opposite sex he likes no matter how suspicious it may seem he’ll go along with it no maybe not so much isn’t it true that no matter how beautiful a woman is they won’t go along with someone they don’t feel comfortable with no I can’t imagine it Because the assumption is too specific because I’m a creature of unconditional forgiveness just because I like the way a person looks I even thought silie was beautiful even though she beat me up when I first met her even though I was quite cautious I ended up getting my Hands on her because she kept asking me out I don’t don’t trust my reasoning you know yeah rational right you guys are really aggressive aren’t you it’s a lot far from my common sense I don’t mind it at all but I’m confused just wait until I get a little More comfortable yes we’ll be waiting for you perner and the other harpies smiled smugly is this enough for them for now y it’s okay right even though sfie alone is too much there are also Isler and the harpies and from what I hear melty and gerder are also targeting Me let’s talk about this with sfie let’s do that to be honest it’s too much for me to handle way too much but sfie was not familiar with romance or anything like that before she got involved with me who should I talk to about this men Are unreliable and how about Ki if not a well-educated woman Isler is well educated but she seems to be biased towards magic and Alchemy melty is it okay to consult with a woman who is supposedly targeting me about something like this no let’s talk to S about this As well let’s do that yeah after breakfast we parted ways with fronte and the others completely dismantled the temporary lodgings and started moving towards the temporary Fort again I made sure to register the temporary lodgings in my blueprint I might use it in the future are we staying at the fourth Shelter today we’ll think about it when we get to the fourth shelter at this pace we should be able to reach the temporary Fort don’t you think yes I think we can after taking a short break at the third shelter and checking the communication with Isa using the Golem Communicator we were running towards the fourth shelter we left quite early in the morning today but it was still early in the morning when we reached the third shelter I couldn’t tell the exact time because my phone was already turned off but considering the sun’s height it was Probably just before 9:00 a.m. running at this pace we would be able to reach the temporary Fort Within enough time to spare however if I pushed myself too hard and couldn’t reach the fort Before Sunset that would be a bit of a problem that’s why I decided to postpone answering Perna’s question and Concentrate on running to be honest staying at the fourth shelter would mean that it would be just perer and the others and me for the night perer and the others seemed to agree but I didn’t know if I would be able to withstand the next Temptation I really don’t want to spend The night with just them and me if possible I don’t know if my prayers were answered or not but the journey went much better than I expected there were a few battles with gizmer along the way but with the mobility of the high-speed jumping the attack power of the shotgun And the defensive power of the blocks gizmer was nothing more than a small fry to me I quickly collected the corpses and was able to reach the fourth shelter before noon it was fast I’m surprised too the distance between the two shelters is about 6 to 8 hours by human Foot it was about 30 to 40 km if we arrived before noon that means we ran through the two areas in less than 6 hours I think it might have something to do with the fact that I was jumping through the Wilderness which is normally hard to walk through I’ll try To measure my speed next time the audio sounds clear H it’s fine if it reaches the fourth shelter we’re good it takes 4 days to walk from the front line Fort to the fourth shelter it must be at least 100 km away suppose we can communicate clearly over this distance in that case We can say that it is a very useful tool for military purposes if you know the distance between you and the other person from the strength of the magic waves no it’s not necessary if you know each other’s current location it’s not impossible to do the calculation but it Will eat up a lot of the cor’s capacity the basic functions will inevitably be degraded that’s one thing we’ll take a short break and head to the temporary Fort H okay be careful yeah okay bye after finishing the Golem communication with Isa I had lunch with perner and the Others all the food that kukan serves is delicious isn’t it I’m glad I can eat meat other than gizmos I don’t mind gizar meat either today’s lunch consisted of a honey roasted chicken sandwich and sliced pickles I was wondering if it was okay for Harpy to Eat chicken I asked them before but they said it was no problem at all rather it seems that chicken meat is a common food for harpies no well it’s true even on Earth the natural enemies of birds are usually larger carnivorous Birds that’s about right by the way only three Of the five harpies accompanying me are currently acting together with me the other two are flying ahead of me to the temporary Fort it’s probably still safe but if the Holy Kingdom is already attacking the temporary Fort it’s not safe to go in unprotected there’s hardly any gizmer Around here anymore and they’re scouting ahead for us so the ones eating with me are perer pessa the brown feathered Harpy and torch the green feathered Harpy ahead of us I regret a white feathered har Harpy and AAR a dark reddish feathered Harpy in fact there Are two types of harpies small birds and large birds with the small birds being faster and more maneuverable and the large birds being less fast but better at navigating long distances and more powerful perner and the others who are still here are small birds while agret And AAR who were sent ahead of us are large birds I was looking forward to taking a bath with Justice and kakan tonight but it’s a Pity well the sooner we arrive the better the original itinerary was for 3 days so why don’t we take it easy yes let’s take our time That’s not how it works I shook my head with a bitter smile pessa looked serious but is actually a lazy bum while torch is a Pampered child although they are not here iget is somewhat ladylike or Noble AAR was a taciturn girl that’s true unfortunately we don’t have the Luxury of time to play around perer who had finished her chicken sandwich left her seat and began to check the condition of her wings seeing this pess and torch also began to check the condition of their own Wings they always check their wings before flying off they said this was because the slightest Irregularity in the wings could cause an accident in Flight there might be some kind of flying Secret in each of their wings letun go then yes after dismantling the temporary accommodation we started to move again coook you’re back why yes and as soon as I arrived at The temporary Fort I was hugged by silie hey it’s strong so strong it’s creaking thank you for your hard work kosak Dono did the liberated people arrive at the Frontline Fort safely I think they’re probably arriving by now let’s try to communicate with Isla communicate silie Released me and tilted her head when she heard an unfamiliar word I see iget and the others have not reported about the Golem Communicator you see you said you wanted a way for The Liberation unit to exchange information with other units that are far away that’s why iser and The others created the Golem Communicator we were able to communicate without any problems around the fourth shelter but I wonder if we can do the same here I activated the Golem communicator and tried to call out but there was no response it seems that the Magic wave can’t reach them it looks Like the Magic wave can’t reach them from here it seems that the Magic wave can only reach the fourth Shelter From the Frontline base so it can reach a distance of about 4 days on foot oh so it’s a 4-day walk that’s great isn’t it if we set up relay Stations we should be able to communicate over a much wider area I believe Isler and the others are working on it now fumu I see Warfare is going to change fundamentally if you have Golem communication you can use it as a decoy to Ambush and pincer attacks all you Want in terms of Defense you can quickly tell when the enemy is attacking if we can make something like a headphone and have Harpy fly with a miniaturized Golem communication device we’ll have an early warning and control device sharing information from a bird’s eye view of the entire Battlefield from the sky Where the enemy’s movements are transparent is nothing more than a nightmare for the enemy The Harpy has good eyesight and will be able to see where the ambushes are and then the aerial bombardment will crush the enemy I think we just need Harpy aren’t we Well if I were on the enemy side I’d go for a better anti-aircraft attack there’s magic in this world so it wouldn’t be surprising if there were some kind of attack magic that specialized in anti-aircraft if we want to continue to operate Harpy we should be aware of the strengthening Of the enemy’s anti-aircraft capabilities as for the liberated people I confirmed that they arrived safely to the second shelter yesterday and they seem to have departed safely so I think they will be fine I see by the way how did you get from the front line fought To here in 2 days that’s as fast as a centaur it’s certainly fast no it’s really fast and you don’t look tired at all yeah that’s true in order to resolve the doubts of Sir Leonard and silie I will show them my newly acquired continuous jumping movement it’s easy Once you become accustomed to it isn’t it the important thing is rhythm it’s an interesting move as always I don’t know anything about kok’s ability isn’t he accelerating unnaturally in the air I wonder if the light will go out of his eyes again when I show it to ISA H I’m Really starting to want to show her something surprising Isa is somehow becoming a pleasure for me that’s all I have to report is there anything unusual over here well that’s the thing it seems that there is movement in the Border Fort bordering the great Amit Wilderness a large number of supplies are being Brought in from somewhere and they seem to be steadily preparing for battle according to the survey of the harpies it looks like that the number of enemy soldiers is likely to exceed 5,000 it looks like they’re going to start moving in a few days who 5,000 That’s tough even and so with a solid Fort crossbow ballista and aerial bombardment it may be manageable however there is no need to fight them properly just set some traps and let’s get out of here trap yes a trap I’m going to do it And I’m going to do it thoroughly c c c let’s use this temporary Fort as their Tombstone oh no we have to declare war on them first right in case you’re wondering we’re not barbarians we’re a civilized race of people let let’s make our position clear I don’t think there’s Any room for discussion though chapter 56 a traps are most exciting when they’re installed assuming that conflict is inevitable the question is how do we settle it right that’s right it’s easy to start a war the hard part is to end it there are many factors involved such As the exhaustion caused by the war the depletion of supplies the support of the people the interests of the nation such as securing key points and the pride of the leader and the nation the leader of of this side will of course be silie but Who will be the leader of that side the supreme leader will naturally be the holy King Alfred 3 but in this case it will be the consul who rules the marinad kingdom orius the Consul in charge he’s a pig who’s very good at squeezing his people to the breaking point and lining His pockets sir Leonard has a gentlemanly demeanor but his words are harsh now perhaps because he has some sort of History it would be better for the leaders to meet with each other and make peace but they won’t agree that’s right there is too much difference in the size Of the forces from the enemy’s perspective a small force of about 1,300 people would be like an insignificant insect I don’t think they will come to the negotiating table as equals it’s also impossible to ask a third party to act as an intermediary for the same Reason there is nothing to be gained by mediating with someone who has no influence we must expand our power and have enough influence to compete on equal terms with other nations I knew this before it started but but it’s not an easy thing to say but well there are Things you can do if you choose to just for the record is there a custom in this world to have a verbal battle before starting a war or rather a declaration of war before the war begins Messengers and commanders who have raised the White Flag meet face to face and recommend Surrender to each other from horseback or engage in verbal Warfare I believe do you think they will do that this time I don’t think so in their eyes we are the remnants of the Rebel Army that was destroyed 3 years ago will be treated as Bandits causing Mayhem oh is there no Room for discussion at all if it were possible to talk to them the meinard kingdom would not be a vassel state silie Shrugged her shoulders with a sarcastic smile hum is that so well for now we just have to show them our power kuk you can start your operations as you See fit I I what I’m going to do and I don’t need to make this clear now is to blow up and demolish this fort I’m going to set up explosive blocks all over the place and blow up up this fort Without a Trace so that it can’t be used not even The soldiers of the Holy Kingdom the problem is how to detonate them so far there are only two ways to detonate the bomb remotely safely and reliably the first is to use a Time fuse the first is to detonate the explosive block at the specified time experiments have shown That explosive blocks within their area of effect will detonate in a chain so if I place them properly I can detonate all the explosive blocks by blowing up the first one the other is a switch explosion using a mithril copper alloy circuit that I made with isa’s help by Connecting the explosive block to the detonation tool with wires made of mithil copper alloy which has high magical conductivity the explosive block can be instantly detonated by pressing a switch this can also be link to the Trap switches of building blocks so it is possible to use it so that when someone Steps on the floor or presses a switch on the wall then boom the problem is the high cost of the material the amount of metal used to wire the mithil copper alloy is Trivial but if you extend it to 100 m or 200 M the amount consumed will Be pretty high it takes a lot of courage to use it in an almost disposable way like this well I couldn’t turn my back on it though now what should I do the ideal way to do this is to blow up the fort when the entire Army of the Holy Kingdom is inside nonetheless there are no more than 500 people that can fit in this fort if it were the main base there would be plenty of room but in this fort there would be less than 1,000 people at most even so it must be attractive to Them to have a fort where they don’t have to worry about being attacked by gizmer they’ll be wary but once they see that we’re gone they’ll definitely have a certain amount of people in this fort we can either set a trap in the back of the pantry or use a Time Detonation well time detonation is better it would be better to set the trap to detonate in the middle of the night after Sunset there is no such thing as a time bomb in this world yet there should be no way to be alarmed they should explore the fort thoroughly And once it is confirmed that no one is hiding there the fort will be used it would be better to set the fuse to detonate in the middle of the night and Retreat the explosives must be placed in such a way as to destroy the fort and cause widespread damage completely well The best way to do that would be to plant an explosive block inside the wall I hollowed out the inside of the 3 m thick wall and placed the explosive blocks evenly explosive blocks were also placed in the walls of the internal facilities it’s got TNT written all over It but nobody would think it’s dangerous no one would think of setting it on fire just to test it right what’s the matter kuk why are you frozen in place like that as I was pondering over the placement of the explosive blocks on the dormitory wall silie who had been Following the installation work called out to me with concern no I was worried that some idiot might set it on fire before it blows up I think it’ll be fine but if you’re worried about it why don’t you put a no fire sign on it that would Look suspicious I I couldn’t help but laugh at sf’s suggestion I’d be afraid to enter a fort with walls marked no fire here and there well I guess I’ll just leave it at that it’ll be okay I guess I can’t drag them all in anyway and if even one of the explosive blocks Explodes it will trigger a bomb that will blow the fort to bits dragging them into it is just a bonus if we can dismantle this temporary Fort then we’ve achieved our goal there’s a saying that the strategist drowns in deceit so let’s make sure we place the blocks properly So so that we can blow them up yeah hey can you tell everyone to refrain from lighting fires if the bomb explodes while we’re around it’ll be a disaster yeah that’s true it wouldn’t be funny if we all died in an explosion due to a careless mistake the installation of the Explosive blocks and the collection of materials was completed without delay and the next day the harpies who were out scouting for the enemy first thing in the morning detected the enemy’s movement it’s a total of 5,500 with 1,000 Cavalry for ,000 infantry and archers combined and 500 Transportation core H that’s more than Five times the number of liberated people who escaped they are not planning to attack the Black Forest right it seems that the troops are probably based on the premise of capturing this fort I think they intend to use this fort as a bridge head to pursue us what’s the ETA They’ll probably Camp a short distance from the fort before Sundown and attack it tomorrow morning F moo how do we move if we make a mistake it won’t be good if a thousand cavalryman chase us we will be in trouble we can escape From The Underground passage do you think we can Resist here until about noon tomorrow and then Escape yeah running away without any resistance at all might look suspicious I don’t think so they know we have information through the harpy eyes I see there is a big difference in strength between them and us so it would Be rather unnatural for us not to run away well let’s leave immediately now kuk can you set the time fuse tomorrow night yeah I can then do so leave a certain amount of food and other supplies in the store room so that we can pretend that we have escaped without Taking anything understood the retreat was hurriedly started and 30 minutes later everyone was ready to leave the remaining force in the fort was about 50 people all of them were reasonably well-trained soldiers who had been notified in advance of the enemy’s movements and that they would be retreating immediately depending on the Enemy’s movements so there was no confus Fusion I’d really like to see the results of the battle with my own eyes of course I also want to see the results of the battle but I don’t want the two of us to put ourselves in danger together you’re right I think it’s okay For sfie and me to escape even if we’re pursued by Cavalry and after the explosion is confirmed they’ll be in chaos so I think it’s safe to say that it’s outrageous for the supreme leader and the key to Logistics to remain in a dangerous place said sir Leonard well of Course it is he was absolutely right so I decided to build a watchtower that could accommodate about three people in a position that could clearly monitor the fort and leave three of the harpies there they’ll also have a timed explosive device to blow up the fort when they find out about the situation In the fort so your highness please refrain from observing and staying in there all right all right stop reminding me over and over again silie returns a rice smile to Sir Leonard who has a straight face you too kuk it would be best if you never did that if you break Your promise I’ll tell melty all right I won’t do that both sfie and I are weak against melty silie is in the sense of a childhood friend and I am in the sense of a black corporate boss I think melty is the strongest of The Liberation Army We parted ways with sir Leonard and the other troops who were retreating and moved with the harpy Squad to a small Rocky Hill a short distance away here we wouldn’t be attacked by gizmer and we’d have a good vantage point I think I should hollow out the rock pile to make It less conspicuous yes that’s a good idea it’s important to be flexible I built a scaffold in a position where it could not be seen from the temporary Fort made an entrance and carved out a room inside the rocky mountain with a pickaxe then I built some peep holes so That I could see into the temporary Fort set up a water hole and furniture and installed an explosive device just in case and the Watchtower was complete did I go a little overboard it would be a shame to blow it up that’s for sure but it will be Troublesome if the Holy Kingdom Army discovers and uses it later on that’s true twoo it seems that the three who will be stationed here are perer the brown feather harpies flame and pessa we’ll meet up with you the day after tomorrow after we confirm the results of the battle yumu be careful be Really careful make sure you don’t get hurt or anything yes we parted ways with the three of them and pursued sir Leonard and the others with the rest of the harpies I did a series of jumps and silie ran as usual the harpies are flying it took me a while to make the Watchtower but we were able to meet up with them before they arrived at the fourth shelter it seemed they were just taking a short break for lunch we also had a light lunch and we all walked to the fourth shelter on the way there the Golem communicator on my back started Ringing as The Liberation Army soldiers looked at me with interest I picked up my Golem communicator and began to communicate this is kosok H it’s connected I was worried it was a message from Isla there’s no mistake shaking her voice oh I’m sorry it seems it couldn’t Reach the temporary Fort after all yeah is everything okay are you hurt everyone is fine there was some enemy movement and I’ve set a trap in the fort and are now retreating perner and three other harpies will stay behind to monitor the fort check the battle results and then Join us the rest of us are heading to the fourth shelter and should be arriving soon H okay what is the size of the enemy 55 500 including the transportation core 1,000 Cavalry 4,000 infantry combined with archers and 500 Transportation core that’s a lot yeah but I think we will be fine the Frontline Fort is perfectly defended after all okay I’ll let everyone know please I finished the communication and put the Golem communication device back on my back naturally curious eyes were focused on me right I know that as you can see this is the latest creation of the research and development department A tool that allows you to talk to people in distant places that’s a communication from the Frontline Fort I don’t know how it works in detail it will be placed in Frontline units in the future I explained as much as I knew before they started asking questions but they ended Up asking a lot of questions no I don’t think you can carry it on your own at least not for a while oh but radio broadcasting might be a good idea we could make a special device to receive it and set up a high-powered antenna at the main base where we can Use plenty of magic power and broadcast it on a special frequency we could broadcast the day’s news or music from liberated people who are good at singing or playing instruments I’ll definitely make a plan when I get back yes while I was thinking about these things while explaining we Arrived at the fourth shelter silie and I have set up a simple lodging outside the shelter so it’s just the two of us tonight I’m looking forward to a lot of things but first I have to talk to her about something about the harpies about Isla and about the upcoming War I guess I’m not tense enough since the war comes after my love life well since we haven’t directly exchanged lives I guess I should really be a little more worried well what should I say chapter 57 it’s been a while since I had a chance to relax it’s been a while since we’ve Spent time together like this it’s been about a week isn’t it yes that’s about right we were sitting together on a wicker couch that looked a little different from the one in silus house but similar in use while sipping honey wine speaking of which I heard that they Have started making liquor from crops at the main base I wonder if they are making ale from wheat and distilled liquor from potatoes normally it’s time for kosok to make something or if not that go to bed well we have a lot to talk about today there are things I want To ask and things I want to talk about you’ve been working a lot these days haven’t you you must relax once in a while fufo yes that’s right the situation isn’t conducive to relaxation but it may be better to just relax as usual in times like these I think so I sipped my Drink with the smiling sfie and slowly talked about what had happened during our time apart while I was away from the temporary Fort the crops in the temporary forts Fields had grown to their full potential and silie had joined in the Harvest after the Harvest they had a potato stew using the freshly Harvested crops or rather potatoes the potatoes cultivated in this area or rather in our Fort are tarike apparently they were originally grown wild in the Black Forest but the elves bred them over a long period they are delicious even just boiled with salt the wolf type beastmen were especially enthusiastic when digging for Potatoes they were digging up potatoes with Lively faces I thought wolf beastmen like meat but they also like potatoes and sweet things huh they also like to dig in the ground they are also quite diligent in collecting clay that’s right I’ve heard that wolves and dogs Are also like that so maybe they still have some instincts deep inside them they get angry if you treat them like dogs though if you treat them like dogs they get angry they say that they are not domesticated dogs but proud wolves but there are some that look more like a Sheu or Chihuahua than a full-fledged wolf in the first place there are too many individual differences in the appearance of Beast men in this world there are some that have a completely animal face and some that are human with a little bit of animal ears in them for Example sir Leonard and W are completely animal in appearance sir Leonard has a lion face and W has a Siberian Husky face danan is said to be a ball fighter but he only has a pair of magnificent horns on his head and the rest of him Looks like a big man gerder the bare beastman and Jag the cat beastmen look like women with bare ears and cat ears and melty looks like a woman with curly horns however when it comes to Bare Beast men those who lost their limbs and could not be healed look like bipedal Bears if there is even one animal feature on any part of the body they can be considered Beast men it’s a bit of a no-brainer Harpy like perner and the blacksmith lamia are very easy to understand no there’s a lot of difference between them though perer and the other harpies have different body Sizes between the small bird species and the large bird species perner and the other harpies have bird wings and bird feet from the midpoint of their arms and thighs while their faces and torso are Almost Human their breasts are generally modest in size I guess large breasts are Dead weight for these girls flying in the sky I guess why do I know their body shape because I’ve seen them plenty of time how about you kuk well you know I didn’t have to do anything special on the way to the shelter expansion I just hunted gizar when they appeared and when I got to the shelter I worked on expanding it and went to sleep as soon as I arrived at the Frontline base Isla took me to the research and development department and gave me the Golem Communicator Isla had a big smug look on her face though haaha that’s just like Isa but that’s something great isn’t it yes it is I think it can be used in many ways I’ve been thinking about it let’s talk about the Golem radio broadcasting idea that I just came up with I see it’s not just for military use that’s a good Idea and I agree with you some people may be anxious about living in an unfamiliar place place so it would be good if we could ease their anxiety well the radio broadcast itself has military implications too it can also be used for propaganda well I don’t think it’s a bad Thing to unite the minds of the people as long as it is not too much so you know Isla confessed to me she said she wanted to be with me forever Well that took longer than I expected did you give her an answer there is no sign of anger Dismay or any other negative emotions on Sil face as she listened to my story no I don’t know what she thinks on the inside do I yeah oh um well I don’t know what I should say in this situation do I have to tell sfie that I accepted another girl’s Confession no what about that no no no it’s wrong to think in terms of the ethics of my original World There are rules or rather ethics of this world too Isla knew that silie and I were in love and she didn’t want to get in the middle Of it she just wanted me to stay by her side okay so well you see we went from being friends to being more than friends or lovers to put it simply I accepted her I like Isa too and she’s a fun person to be with but I asked her to Wait a little while before we make love or have a physical relationship like I did with sfie and she agreed why no well because the person I love is sfie for example if you were to tell me that while you were away from me another confessed to you and you accepted and Had physical relations with him I would be sure to die of Despair jealousy and anger I absolutely hate it absolutely hate it if you do that I will definitely kill that man and then I will die too so I won’t do that either I hate just Thinking about it it makes me want to die hahhaa love is heavy but don’t worry it’s never going to happen I’ll strangle such an insolent man to death on the spot in the first place no man would ever say such a thing to a woman with a partner Is it okay if you don’t have a partner I think we’ve talked about this a bit before but it’s a man’s duty to take many wives isn’t that too convenient for men it’s not too convenient if you take many wives you have to take on more responsibility an unworthy husband who Lets his wife and children Starve is an unworthy man such a man will be abandoned by his wife and disinherited and he will be pointed back at for the rest of his life that’s scary I thought that men could cheat all they wanted but it wasn’t like that I heard That if you get carried away you will be expelled from the community the same goes for men who put their hands on women who have Partners or take them by force so I’m pretty sure nothing like what kosok was worried about will happen but that system on the other hand allows Those with power and authority to do whatever they want doesn’t it a man who is so strong and powerful that no one can stand against him will be able to do whatever he wants regardless of the finger pointing at him him haaha you’re right by the way kuk when do you think Is the moment when a man is most vulnerable that’s ah I guessed I’ve guessed it do you think women will let a man like that do what he wants forever that’s what I’m talking about it’s better to think about the size of your body when doing anything he I’ve learned That I shouldn’t get carried away so about Isa I don’t mind it she’s cute and she has always worked hard for me I’ve known her for a long time and I believe she’ll get along well with kuk and me I is that so it’s a little light no I Wonder if it’s supposed to be like this Yu me you should be actively trying to make a baby with Isa you should try to be a little more subtle about it put a little more effort into it are you listening to me it’s been a while since I’ve seen sfie grinning at me is she making fun of me you will have to remember it later and one more thing about the harpies Sil the last time you were with them did you do anything with me after I went to bed I did I see I Should imagine things a you did silie confessed her actions without hesitation and I couldn’t help but make a quick retort fronte and the others were very interested in it I had kuk sleep deeply with Spirit magic and we did a lot of things what did you do to me ha haa well I was just using you as teaching material teaching material for what I asked her about it but she just laughed and said nothing so now that I know about Isla what are you going to do about the harpies they adore you too don’t they I know about that somehow but I don’t know what to do either I don’t know how to take care of them all no kosok can take care of all of them I mean we’re all being fed by kuk right now is that really what you’re saying the crops that are enough to feed the Entire Liberation Army and the weapons to hunt the gizar are basically all supplied by me I’ve also built most of the housing the clothing is also made from cloth that I Weave on my loom so I’m in charge of the Liberation Army’s food clothing and shelter if you want You’ll be allowed to take all the women who adore kuk I can’t I’ll dry up I couldn’t help but keep a straight face for me silfy alone is enough you’re right silie Giggles but I think kosok should take care of the harpies there is no better way for kok and the harpies to Be on good terms in the future or perhaps the harpies in The Liberation Army don’t want anyone but kosok as a companion for the sake of the future I can say that kosok has no choice but to accept the harpies e harpies ability to fly will be indispensable to us in the Future to have them is to have the greatest strength of The Liberation Army isn’t that right yes I guess so there is no doubt that Harpy’s Air Force is the trump card of The Liberation Army right now there is almost no way to intercept them as they unilaterally attack with Bombs from high altitudes and we have to nurture the Next Generation it is also convenient for me that the father is kuk that’s very realistic of you sish words made me involuntarily chuckle I think silie is also a royal family with Noble blood in this way in Other words silie wants to keep the harpies who will become more influential in The Liberation Army in her family through me of course if kosok doesn’t want it I won’t force it on you but you don’t hate perner and fronte and the others do you well yes I guess so I Think it’s a natural reaction for me also to like the girls who are straightforward with their favors they are all cute silie is more like a mistress or concubines I was surprised that sfie was more tolerant of such things it was an honest thought that came out of my mouth I knew that silfi loved me but I thought that she wanted to be a little more exclusive or wanted to be alone with me or something like that however when she heard my words her reaction was fierce with a loud bang the cup of honey wine In her her hand was slammed on the table don’t get me wrong kuk and then with a terrifyingly strong force she pinched my face between her hands and turned it towards her I felt the bones in my neck make a cracking sound it hurt sish Stern expression filled my vision I love you Kuk if I could I would monopolize you I want to be alone with you forever the stern expression instantly lost its power and her ears drooped but I also understand the feelings of every everyone who adores kuk I really understand so I’ll do my best to silie Couldn’t seem to put it into words any further um if it’s good enough for her then it’s good enough for me to respond to her as much as I can if that’s what sfie wants should I do that I don’t know what’s the right answer this kind of Thing you’re right I really don’t we’ll work it out the two of us or all of us together yeah it may be difficult to find a way for everyone to be happy but we can can go hand in hand to make everyone happy there are examples in this world where men with multiple Spouses are doing well and I guess we just have to learn from good precedence it would be best if I could find someone to talk to what about melty silie looked uncomfortable at my words what’s with that reaction I’ve already consulted with her she’s even given me some advice Oh really when I think about it I don’t think the idea of taking in the harpies and the others is very silike The Mastermind may be melty isn’t she the strongest in many ways let me talk with her about it next time all right but I’m feeling a bit nervous now I wonder what kind of recklessness she’ll say I shivered with cold just by thinking about it Chapter 58 the flash of light the girl saw now that the heavy talk is over let’s talk about the war since we have finished talking about love the next topic is war for me this Is much easier to talk about than love in other words I don’t feel like I’m a relevant person person in it yeah I think we should talk about that too Sil face became serious as she listened to what I had to say h the temperature is so different the conclusion of my talk With sir Leonard in the morning was that whether we are negotiating or asking other countries to act as intermediaries we need to show our strength first right that’s right the current US is an insignificant remnant of the Rebel Army to them it can be said that we are the Bandits who are preventing them from ruling their own country they would never negotiate with people properly I wouldn’t negotiate with such people either even if I were in their shoes silie said H we’re like terrorists in their eyes we have our own agenda and justice but they have their own agenda And Justice too I guess by showing off our power you mean Frankly Speaking going around killing soldiers of the Holy Kingdom right yes that’s right you don’t like it kuk the fewer people die the better but it’s not going to be easy the Holy Kingdom has already conquered the marinad kingdom and established Effective control over it as a vassel state it has already been 20 years since the marinad kingdom was made a vassel state unless you’re a long-lived species you’re probably already 40 to 50 years old even if you were young back then many of them may have died due to Lifespan injury or illness there is a possibility that the current generation of marinad citizens is less aware of their role in the war due to the passage of time after 20 years there are probably citizens of the Holy Kingdom who have immigrated from the Holy Kingdom and have already put down Roots It is easy to predict that reclaiming the land will not be a straightforward task we’ll just have to find a way to make it work speaking of which have you been able to make contact with any of the former marinad human soldiers that are hiding out in the marinad Kingdom There are no such reports if they are hiding it’s probably in urban areas so we haven’t been able to contact them this time they’re not supposed to be anywhere near towns or cities I see well you can’t put words in people’s mouths the capturing of the rock salt mine will Have a certain amount of Buzz and rumors will gradually spread no if you want to spread rumors it would be better to start from here spread it from here what do you mean you want to infiltrate a spy silie tilted her head infiltrating a spy Is indeed one way to do it but the beastly marinad Kingdom people seem to be controlled half as slaves which would be a very risky strategy how about spreading leaflets from the sky like in the center of the great amid Wilderness there is a new land created by silie Marinad citizens now are the time to unite something like that you’re using Harpy again kuk sh is loving the harpy isn’t he aerial maneuverability is simply powerful you know of course I like the harpies but it’s not because I like them that I actively incorporate them into my Operations it is simply because they are useful that I incorporate them into the operation but it might be a useful way to make our claims and intentions known to the public paper is an expensive thing but since it’s Kook you can make a lot of it can’t you I can easily afford It it’s easy to make a lot of paper with crafting ability using fibers from various grasses and leaves it’s hard to write on each sheet of paper by hand but if it’s printed with wood blocks we can easily Mass produce leaflets I’ll suggest it as soon as we get to the Frontline base that would be great as I was about to refill my honey wine I realized that the bottle was nearly empty it seemed that I had drunk quite a bit before I realized it speaking of which I feel like I’m pretty drunk I’m still far from my limit though the honey Wine is running out isn’t it yeah do you want some more no it’s enough already silie Smiles seductively at me no I think she’s actually inviting me it’s been a while since I’ve spent time with her like this let’s be sincere with each other pera’s POV we spent the night After kukan and her High us left and the three of us have been on watch Duty towards the temporary Fort since this morning yesterday we were able to eat the delicious hamburger that kukan left for us but starting today we’ll have to live with block cookies dried meat and Dried fruits the block cookies are pretty tasty but they can’t compete with the hamburgers Captain do you think kukan will accept us pessa asked me this as she looked towards the temporary Fort this girl is always cheerful and a bit talkative she has a cheerful personality And is a good mood maker in the unit I I hope he does flam grinned her cheeks turning a faint shade of red she is probably imagining what it would be like to have that kind of relationship with kukan she has excellent night vision and good eyesight she is also a skilled Flyer and can fly quickly and almost silently she is a very talented girl but she is a bit reclusive and imaginative or to put it more bluntly she’s a lecher who doesn’t seem it and doesn’t talk about it feathers that extend from the head like a wolf beast man or a Cat Beast Man are moving up and down it’s very easy to tell when she’s getting delusional because those feathers move from what fronte and the others have told me her highness is positive that kukan is willing to have a relationship with us and kukan seems to be interested In us so I’m sure it will be fine I had been told that when they were asked desperately kukan had been put to sleep with dark Spirit magic and then they’re allowed to study various things when I first heard that story I was so frustrated that I almost went into a Rage but afterward in the bath with kukan Fu Fufu he was so cute he never called us toilet birds in fact he respected us very much and he also gave us unparalleled power at first I asked him to make a weapon that we could use But what he made for us was far more impressive than I could have imagined kukan is wonderful isn’t it flam murmured with an enraptured expression as she put her hand on her cheek kukan is a very mysterious man he has black hair and eyes as black as the night sky Mysterious Powers weapons and tools that I’ve never seen or heard of knowledge of cooking and flexible ideas his character is hardworking kind and sincere his attitude toward women is also not abrasive or rather he has an untrained mind but he also has the courage to take On gizmer head-on um I don’t want to be like flam but thinking about kukan makes me want to see his face no no I’m in the middle of an important Mission the surveillance mission is boring but we mustn’t neglect it kukan will be disappointed in me I agree with you but We have to prioritize the mission right now yes but it will be boring for a while still you don’t want kukan to be disappointed do you T that’s true because the Holy Kingdom Army can’t discover us we can’t just fly in and watch what the Holy Kingdom Army is Doing I will keep an eye on the direction of the temporary fought from this monitoring station there was no movement for a while but after about 2 hours the holy king om Army appeared near the temporary Fort they surrounded the fort and seemed to be on the lookout For attacks from the fort however they soon noticed that there was no sign of anyone in the fort and the Infantry began to close the distance slowly Shields at the ready there are no Siege weapons in sight right the last time we repelled them they were still some Distance away from the fort so maybe they didn’t see the fort the holy kingdoms Army was in chaos after our bombing and they probably didn’t have time to worry about it the number of survivors must not been that many oh the sign was pulled out looks like they’re Taking it to their Commander the sign board in front of the Gate of the temporary Fort had written the demands of our Liberation Army and a warning our demands are the return of the marinad Kingdom the deportation of the Holy Kingdom Army and the Holy Kingdom people And the release of the marinad citizens as for the warning we consider the invasion of this temporary fought to be a hostile act by the holy Kingdom’s forces and we will enter into a state of War it’s not a warning it’s a declaration of war the person who seems To be the commander of the Holy Kingdom Army who saw the contents of the signboard slammed the signboard into the ground and trampled it ah Gees it’s a terrible thing to do I guess it’s only natural for them to do that it seems that the Holy Kingdom Army did not bring Any ladders with them the gates are tightly closed and they seem to be discussing how to get in even if they tried to climb up the walls were almost impossible to find a foothold and the slope was so subtle that it would be difficult to climb up after strugg for a While they seem to have succeeded in getting in by hooking a makeshift rope to the wall if there were a mage who could use wind magic it would have been easier to get in but I don’t know if there is one in there it looks like There is no Mage I I don’t see anything like one I guess they decided they don’t need mags against us the Mage core is the tiger cub of the Holy Kingdom’s Army right they wouldn’t want to come to a remote region like the great amid Wilderness it was not long before the Soldiers were inside and the fort was overrun the gates were opened and an avalanche of infantry troops poured in all that was left of the temporary Fort was a little food and some furniture kukan had removed all traces of the watering hole and the well that had been Dug to hide the unnaturalness had been filled with poison and dirt the water was too muddy to use though since it had just been dug the Cavalry troops were running after sir Leonard and the others tracks but they probably wouldn’t be able to catch up with kosok San and the Others they couldn’t risk being attacked by gizmer so they couldn’t follow too closely after a while the Cavalry came came back the Infantry was moving around in and around the fort but there was no Advanced Sign it seems that they will stay here today I guess they were Satisfied with the fact that they got the whole magnificent Fort intact it can be used as a bridge head for the invasion of the greater mid Wilderness but that would be the death of them nothing happened the sun went down and night came it seems that they decided to Take up positions around the fort as it was impossible for an entire Army of over 5,000 to enter the fort and until the sun went down they dug a moat and built Earth and mounds to prepare for gizmer bonfires were also Burning Brightly is it really going to explode I Don’t think kosak San will fail to finish the job T that’s right I don’t think kukan will dot before flam could say anything else it happened first there was a flash of light and then a burst of flame then came the Roar and impact the explosion did not happen once But many times in a chain each time there was a deafening Roar and a pounding impact on the chest pessa flam and I were just overwhelmed by the sight it must have been a very short time between the start and the end of the explosion but I felt like I had been Watching the scene for a very long time a amazing wow there’s no trace of the temporary Fort it’s much more impressive than I expected kukan as flam said the explosion had literally left no trace of the temporary Fort All That Remains is the ground that was gouged out by the Explosion the debris of the fort and the corpses of the Holy Kingdom Army spread out around it kukan said that the damage to the Holy Kingdom Army outside the fort might not be significant but there is no such thing as a safe Soldier as far as I can see e see Captain what Should we do flam please Scout under cover of Darkness as planned try to be as undetected as possible and maybe you’ll be okay but keep your altitude so you don’t get shot with a bow why yes flam flew almost noiselessly from the entrance she’s always so unsure of Herself but she’s really good at what she does I wish she could be more confident Captain perner as expected kukan is amazing I’m not sure if amazing is the right word how much damage has been done to the holy kingdoms Army at the very least the soldiers in the fort Will certainly not be alive if there’s someone who’s alive they must be something other than a human a few moments later flam came back she looked pale as if the scene had been too horrific how was it t there’s no trace of the for and I’d say less than 20% of The troops were still moving it’s almost a total Destruction if it’s 20% of the 5,500 that means about 1,000 are still moving but how many of those 20% are in a completely decent condition the holy Kingdom’s Army has lost its ability to fight yes I think that is correct what About us we’ll all recheck in the morning blow this place up and head back we’ll sleep in shifts today and keep watch pessa who replied yes will be the first watch flam who is at night will be in the middle and I will be the last Watch with our wings we should be able to meet up with kosak San by the end of the day tomorrow I’ll have to make sure to report the results of the battle properly chapter 59 their end and the god of chaos the next day I spent a lot Of time with sfie after I cleaned myself up well and removed the temporary accommodation I met up with sir Leonard and the others who were staying in the fourth shelter and we started having breakfast today’s menu consisted of barley porridge with lots of vegetables and meat and fried gizar meat with garik Porridge is easy to eat but it’s not very filling that’s why I decided to use gizar meat the bomb is scheduled to explode tonight but will it work it is unlikely that they will follow us too closely is it we are in the greater mid Wilderness after all even if the Cavalry Charged out alone they would fall prey to the gizar if they could not return to safety before night fell inevitably they will be stationed around the temporary Fort I see the wind Spirits have already erased the traces of our movement they won’t be able to track US silie covered Up the footprints and other traces we left in the wilderness with wind spirit magic it’s a magic that blows the wind to erase Footprints it’s very useful magic in this dry Wilderness so after we eat shall we quickly move to the third shelter yes right there was nothing Worth mentioning on the way to the third shelter there was a gizmer but sir Leonard instantly cut it down but still the sharpness of the twin fangs is amazing it tore up giza’s armor like it was a piece of paper haahaha I’m going to tear you to pieces Sir Leonard is also in High Spirits it looked like he was randomly slashing but he was thinking about securing useful materials and slashing them properly after reaching the third shelter I had some extra time to think about the design of the public bath building with the others my image was a public bath House but with everyone’s input it became something more than a public bath house is it like thery asterisk t n it’s a Romans public bath thermy no I’m talking to myself I thought of having separate men’s and women’s changing rooms and bathrooms but I thought it would be Better to have space where people could do some light exercise and talk so I decided that it would be a good idea to warm up those areas as well so I made them warmer through the hot water pipes and if there were drinks and snacks Available it has turned out to be a very Roman style bath house I wonder if it would be safe to operate it though it would would require a lot of Manpower it’s also important to create jobs well we have plenty of Manpower I see there will be a huge increase in Manpower After this operation not all of them will become soldiers and then they will need jobs by the way I don’t have enough heat sauce to boil water so unfortunately there will be no bath today the amount of hot water in my inventory is not enough to fill this Bathroom even if you look so disappointed I can’t do what I can’t you’ll just have to be patient with the bathing after we all ate dinner we all watched the direction of the temporary Fort it should be time for the explosion do you think it will work the fuse was Triggered and then covered up by the block placement and I don’t think it can be disarmed they don’t know the dangers of explosive blocks of course I see so you’re confident confidence or rather dot there was a flash of light in the distance the soldiers of The Liberation Army shouted oh the flashes continued over and over and after a considerable delay a thunderous boom boom boom boom sounded it must have been 60 km away but it must have been more powerful than I thought I casually checked the achievements times lady killer Dash gain The favor of 20 or more members of the opposite sex nice boat increased attack power against the opposite sex by 10% times first kill Dash killing a human for the first time murderer increased attack power against humans by 5% times tough guy Dash reaches level 20 a level where you can Play a leading role in an action movie increased physical ability by 50% times assassin Dash killing 100 humans without being detected now you’re a great assassin unlock the takedown feature times bomber Dash killing 100 living creatures with explosives boom it’s fun isn’t it increased damage dealt by explosives by 10% times mass murderer Dash killing more than 1,000 people at once you did it increased attack power against humans by 10% times Champion Dash killing 3,000 humans alone if you do this you’re not just a murderer are you increased all abilities of allies within a 100m radius by 10% and increased favorability the Comments are so annoying what’s with the nice boat stop it it’s not funny t or n nice boat refers to a mean Spawn from a 4chan comment about a Japanese programming decision to Air Pleasant stock footage rather than the final episode of the anime school days due to The episodes similarity to a recent tragedy in the country amidst the outrage over the decision a forchan commenter wrote nice boat about a portion of the stock footage quickly turning into a meme in the community I mean I’ve reached level 20 I thought it was 12 or something when I saw it before Wow it’s 22 before I even knew it I’ve I’ve also gained 10 skill points I’ll have to get the skill later rather the range of the Champions effect is unclear what’s the classification of an ally and isn’t a 50% increase in physical ability a bit of a problem it’s like I’m wearing Invisible power armor or something wo my strength and stamina were 120 each now they are 180 is this supposed to be multiplied by the final value what’s wrong with you kuk you look weird no it’s just that 3,000 people died from that blow what is That true how do you know that oh by the way I never told you about achievements and skills I briefly explained to silie about achievements and skills I couldn’t do it lightly it was quite a challenge it’s hard to convey this concept well you know what a mysterious entity is Probably watching my actions and if I meet certain conditions I get a sort of title and a corresponding increase in ability in other words kosok can receive power from the gods based on his actions that’s right and by defeating enemies or maybe creatures I can accumulate some sort of achievement value and depending On that I can freely improve my abilities to some extent so you gain power by making sacrifices to the gods yes that’s how it works I don’t know if the other guy is a God or not though I didn’t realize how hard it would be to explain levels skills points Etc to Someone who doesn’t understand any game-like concepts and I was dazzled by the stares of The Liberation Army members who were listening to my conversation you mean the morbo was an apostle of a god which God’s Apostle is he is it the god of smithing no could it Be the god of food maybe the God of War it seems like it could be anything could it be the god of chaos oh they’re convinced that I’m somehow an apostle of the god of chaos when I asked what kind of God the god of chaos was I was told That he was a very misch God who suddenly threw people into strange lands gave them trials and led them to strange Fates he’s also said to be one of the most powerful gods among the gods generously giving his power to those who overcome the trials he gives them well That sounds right it’s so true I see the god of chaos I’m going to punch you in the face one day just you wait once we’ve had our fun we’ll just go to bed no the explosion is far away and there’s nothing can do about it today silie and I have set up a temporary lodging place and are having a lovey-dovey time it’s the longest time we’ve been apart and one night won’t make up for the loneliness that’s built up booh he he the next day it was about midaf afternoon when perner and the others Joined us on our way to the second shelter we didn’t hear anything like an explosion but they had blown up the Watchtower then the girls told us the actual situation of the explosion and destruction of the temporary Fort of the 5,5 500 members of the Holy Kingdom’s Army there were less than 1,000 Survivors the temporary Fort which was the center of the bombing was blown up without a trace and the holy Kingdom’s troops who were positioned around it were devastated I’m not sure how they died but I heard that most of the corpses were either missing limbs blown apart or ruptured making for a truly Horrific sight perner and the others said that it would take a very lucky person to be caught up in that and still be alive and then just after midnight gizmer arrived a the gizmer dev the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom regardless of whether they were dead or wounded and It was like a hellish banquet the majority of the Wounded died by mourning and the survivors fled in the direction of the Holy Kingdom’s Fortress as soon as Dawn broke I’m not sure how many will survive as gizar was said to be chasing after them well it’s a total Annihilation I didn’t think kosak San’s power was as strong as that no that’s not what I expected either I’ve underestimated the power of the explosive Block it’s super dangerous stuff I’ll be careful with them from now on as soon as we arrived at the second shelter I made a temporary accommodation As usual and immediately contacted the Frontline base with the Golem communication device to inform them of the defeat of the enemy Army are you sure yeah I think the accuracy of the information is the best because perer and the others have definitely confirmed it with their own eyes so kuk are you Okay what you killed a lot of people are you feeling bad about it I’m fine maybe I don’t feel it I was 2 days walk away and I didn’t actually see it happen I see I’ll spoil you when you get back have a safe trip home why yeah silus Gaze is stabbing at me from the side the Gaze is hurting me the communication is over but the Gaye does kosok want to be spoiled by Isa no I don’t know I try to imagine being spoiled by a girl with a body as small as isas I don’t know how She plans to spoil me but well in order Maybe maybe she’ll hug me and Stroke Me perhaps it’s not as bad as I thought it doesn’t sound so bad does it well shall I spoil you too sure after this I spoiled her like crazy silie is more Like a baby than a spoiled child are you trying to get me to open a dangerous door I did the same thing to her switching offence and defense T this is what do you think it’s not bad is it oh yeah it’s time for your 2-hour reminder if You’ve been sitting consider taking a moment to stand up stretch use the restroom or have a refreshing drink of water your body will thank you now back to the story it’s not bad speaking of which silie was still at an age where she could be considered a child in the elf Sense of the word the spoiled silie was so cute it was hard to believe she was from this world sir Leonard asked me why but I resolutely kept quiet for the sake of sish Honor kuk I want you to be moderate it is not advisable to put a Burden on her highness’s body no I don’t think it’s a burden on her body at all and I don’t think it’s burdening her mentally either what the hell did you do to her sorry I can’t tell you the women’s gaze is painful no no no no I Just spoiled sfie as much as she wanted the only repercussion was that silie blew herself up why you re so intense huh I prefer it to be gentle though I I don’t mind being violent that’s what perner and the others are like silie hurry up and come back chapter 60 a Greater War result than I expected I dismantled the temporary accommodations while sfie who had finally come out of her bed was being taken away by several women including perer and the others who were Whispering about something it’s important to recycle resources should I just leave it as it is no no the Scouts Of the Holy Kingdom might find out the location of the shelter so that would be a bit of a problem in the meantime the secret meeting seemed to be over and sil’s face turned bright red up to her ears and the women who were talking to sfie were giving her a somewhat gentle Look this is the one that was completely heard out I know is it a public execution you’re not guilty in this case right kuk not guilty not guilty I hope and not guilty I guess and I was judged Not Guilty by everyone I did it Sil face Is red and she’s shaking you you are wo it’s the rampaging silie when sfie went into a rage we ran off towards the first shelter as a result we were able to make up for the delay which may or may not have been a good thing ha ha by all Means by all means are you okay are you okay when we arrived at the first shelter it was just me and the harpies who were still feeling strong thanks to my strong cardiopulmonary function I could Escape while the harpies were just fleeing into into the sky and flying Comfortably you’re a tough guy kukan I’m only running though if I acquire more skills I’ll be able to run faster and longer when I expand my production system maybe I’ll increase my agility or strong cardiopulmonary skills my increased Mobility will be useful for many things in the future and the night At the first shelter today I built another temporary accommodation and I’m alone with sfie silie maybe she’s learned from her mistake this morning but she’s keeping a delicate distance from me if I approach her forcibly she will threaten me with a hush so I stopped forcing myself to get closer and Sat down on the edge of the couch and watched each other well I’m sitting on the edge of the couch examining my skills while pretending to be in a days skilled worker Dash reduced crafting Time by 20% times demolition Dash increased the

20% % times Camels Hump Dash Reduce dryness by 20% now this is the current list of skills available the skills I’ve already acquired are marked with the ones that I don’t seem to need at the moment are reptile stomach and Camels Hump I don’t think I’ll need demolition at the moment either I wonder If I’ll even need repairer too the most important ones are logger Miner and dismantler which simply increase the amount of resources I get and mass producer since I tend to make a lot of the same thing these days I don’t seem to be able to raise the Skill level of the creator for now in terms of combat I’d still choose the excellent Archer I don’t do melee combat if I were to think about combining the two I’d probably want to raise the agility and strong cardiopulmonary functions as well to ensure an outrange strategy however I have 10 skill points Available right now so if I were to raise my skill level from I to two I would only be able to raise five skills logger dismantler and mass producer are the most important ones and then the excellent Archer no I’m unlikely to be fighting and I can compensate for my Attack power with weapons should I just increase agility and strong cardiopulmonary function here skilled worker Dash reduced crafting Time by 20% times demolition Dash increased number of materials obtained when demolishing crafted items by 10% times repair a dash

zero skill points I’m also interested in Survivor and medic but they’re both combat oriented skills if I hadn’t met sfie and the others and had been a solo Survivor I might have expanded in that direction now that I finished acquiring the skills sfie is still looking away but before I know it the distance Between us is closing it seems that while I was Dazed she closed the distance between us she’s so cute I did my best to appease the the cute and adorable silie and we spent the night getting along we were able to return to the Frontline base while the sun was Still high it seems that the fact that we had already defeated the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom Army had been conveyed to everyone through iser and there was a tremendous welcome good to see you back safely danan who had stayed behind to command the Frontline Fort greeted us Iser is right next to him yeah it’s thanks to kosok do you have anything to report yes there is a lot to report I’ll prepare a meal in the conference room if that’s okay yeah okay let’s go yes all right yes silie urged me sir Leonard and Perer to go to the conference room together Isla lined up beside me and stealthily grabbed the Hem of my clothes when I looked at her Isla who normally has no expression smiled slightly what’s wrong kuk nothing I red in agony at isa’s teasing and cuteness but I managed To maintain my composure what a cute creature when I arrived at the conference room I sat down next to sfie who had already taken a seat Isa sat beside me as a matter of course and perer sat beside her danan and Sir Leonard were Seated on the opposite side Of the table I feel like there’s a bias in the way we’re seated but I don’t care yeah well where should we start shall we start with the war report I guess so Perna yes the 5,500 soldiers of the Holy Kingdom who are attacked the temporary Fort were almost completely wiped out in One night by the Trap set by kosok San the next morning only 72 people less than 100 in number retreated on foot on their own what about the rest it was difficult to count the number of corpses as some had blown up without a trace some were severely damaged and others Had been devoured by gizmer who had appeared in the middle of the night in any case I don’t think there were more than 72 survivors who escaped on foot I see we’ll have to think about defeating gizmer that’s right right there could be another gizar outbreak is it safe to Dispose of the bodies if we leave them alone they will be cleaned up by gizmer the only question is whether or not the gizar will multiply again after they’ve had their fill I see intercepting another horde of gizar would indeed be Troublesome it’s also a hindrance to The Liberation forces conducting operations In the marinad Kingdom territory by the way how much damage can the Holy Kingdom suffer from the loss of 5,500 people that were destroyed this time danan and Sir Leonard answered my question one after the other 3 years ago the number of troops of the Holy Kingdom Army stationed in the marinad Kingdom Territory was approximately 12,000 to 15,000 I think that if we combine the damage from last time and this time we have defeated about half of the troops stationed in the marinad Kingdom territory we don’t know the current total number of soldiers so this is just a guess however I don’t think that the Number of soldiers is much higher than it was 3 years ago when our rebellion was crushed this damage could have an impact on the effective control of the marinad Kingdom in other words heavy damage that would be the case unless they receive large scale reinforcements from the Home Country they will not be Able to attack with a large army for a while our activities will also become much easier I see it’s a great deal more than I thought what happened to the liberated people most of them have moved to the main base they will rest for a while over there and those who have Regained their strength will be given various jobs we will train those who wish to and have them stand on the battlefield as our comrades I see you said most of them yes we have about 100 experienced soldiers and former adventurers who have offered to stay and work here as soldiers they are in Training now we also let those with broken legs and arms stay here I see I’ll treat them tomorrow danan looked at me and I nodded he probably left them here for me to treat I can heal them quickly unless they’ve lost a limb or something there were about 100 soldiers and former Adventurers speaking of which there seem to be quite a few male Soldiers with weapons the shortage of men will be somewhat better now I wonder if Sykes is drying out I’m worried melty will take care of those who have moved to the main base point if anything happens we should Be contacted by the Golem Communicator right yes indeed communication with the main base has been established let me try to get in touch with her tomorrow that’s good meltis probably missed you your highness I guess so I haven’t seen her for a while so it might be a good idea to have A long talk with her silie smiled as she said that this kind of natural smile of silus used to amaze people who saw it at first but lately everyone has gotten used to it and it’s accepted naturally I wondered how long it had been since she Had a natural Smile by the way I have an interesting proposal from kosok you can tell them kuk oh that came out of the blue all right first of all I decided to talk about the idea of radio broadcasting using the Golem transmitter the idea is to build a high-powered Communications Tower at the main base release a special Magic wave and use a lowcost dedicated receiver to broadcast the information widely the only thing I can offer is an idea so I’ll leave the technical issues to ISA and the research and development department ham it’s not technically Difficult we can use the magic power of the vein holes in the main base to send magic waves far and wide relay devices are also being developed fumu that’s a good idea I think the idea of reassuring the liberated people and healing their minds is a wonderful one yes it will be Useful in many ways as for the radio broadcast everyone accepted it favorably the problem however was the next suggestion I am thinking of mass producing paper and printing a large number of leaflets using wood blocks and distributing them in the major cities as information Warfare that way we can Quickly spread the word about our activities to the people of the marinad Kingdom don’t you think I also think that we can direct our supporters to the great AIT Wilderness the reply to my suggestion was as follows impossible it’s not going to work is it I guess not The answer was a straightforward one why I think it’s not a bad idea silie also tilted her head I don’t think it’s a bad idea either the reason for this was explained by Isa your highness kosok not many people can read that’s right the majority of commoners can’t read in Addition the literacy rate of the marinad citizens has declined further in the last 20 years this is because the number of places where the marinad citizens can receive education has decreased not only for me who came from a different world but also for silie who was naturally educated as a member of The royal family and as a resident of an elf Village the low literacy rate of commoners in this world was completely out of consideration so the leaflet campaign will be frozen for now yes I guess it’s a good thing that radio broadcasting is going to be accepted if We Liberate the marinad kingdom will have to deal with the education issue as well chapter 61 in the research and development department after spending the night at the Frontline base the next day I started treatment in the morning it was super Dr kosok time oh oh and my Legs become straight my knee was in so much pain for so long my tendons were cut and my fingers were stuck now I can fight again it’s the unparalleled splints but yeah people with poor prognosis after broken bones crushed knees and crippled legs or cut tendons in their arms and crippled hands are Healed with the help of splints that can be easily made with cloth and pieces of wood as long as they don’t lose their limbs my splints can fix anything it’s a strange power no matter how many times I see it sir Leonard who was esorting me Just in case raised his voice in a half amused manner I have also treated sir Leonard in this way at first the injured people were skeptical when I told them that I would heal their injuries but as I healed two to three of them they began To look at me with respect haha you should be more respectful the treatment was completed in less than an hour and in the Square where the treatment was taking place people who had been able to move freely for a while began to enjoy the wonders of a healthy body running Around jumping and wielding practice weapons everyone’s face is brighter now they were touched when they were able to move their bodies again maybe this is what kosak Doo’s power should be used for maybe so I guess it’s ideal to use my power not to kill people but to keep them Alive however to live also means to fight I don’t know what the person who sent me into this world is thinking but I guess I’ll just have to do what I can danan the commander of this fort will take over their care once they’ve been healed and I’ll head to the research and Development department next I’ll have to develop further possibilities for the Golem’s communication device radio broadcasting and the magic power system system hum welcome oh long time no see everyone long time no see long time no see oh long time dot I look around but there’s no sign of Sykes see could it be Where’s syes when the rest of the research and development department heard my words they averted their gaze from me wait he’s a little sick and bedridden too little compassion huh you guys ahaha I don’t think it’s a laughing matter is that the kind of future that awaits me I’m scared I’m starting to Shake it’s going to be okay right Isla I’ve given him the proper medication he’ll be fine I don’t know how she misunderstood my gaze but she started saying that is it really okay to solve it with the help of medicine it’s not like you’re going to break down from Kidney deficiency or die of hunger ah let’s see let’s put sy’s matter aside yeah we’re not getting anywhere sorry Sykes you’ve been a good man so uh what are you working on now we’ve been working on the development of a Magic wave transmitter Golem powering of various devices development of magic Guns mass production of magic swords and crystallization of magic power from veins I know about the Magic wave transmitter and Golem powering but the last three are new to me I also gave up some information about my gun to the research and development department to See if it can be used as a reference for something but I was afraid that they would use it to develop their own magic gun the magic gun is based on the bolt action rifle that kosok made we’re looking for a way to fire bullets with magical power yeah as for the firing Mechanism of the magic gun we are trying out the fire magic type wind magic type and the combined type the problem with all of them is pressure leakage the lamia blacksmith and the rat Beast Man magician then showed me the blueprint of the gun H this certainly looks like it’s Based on a bolt action rifle but shouldn’t this be based on a musle loading gun instead of a bolt action rifle I have a gun that might be more helpful with this method so I’ll make a few and deliver them tomorrow here’s what it looks like I explained how a Muzzle loading Gun Works as far as I knew it doesn’t have to be loaded with gunpowder and if you just push the bullet into the chamber it should reload at a speed that not much different from a crossbow then the magic bursts at the very end of the barrel and it fires as Long as the bullet and Barrel are well made there is no need to worry about gas leaks so the only problems will be the firing mechanism and the barrel strength I see it’s simpler this way let’s reconsider this method I’ll make a muzzle loading rifle and bullets this Evening and leave them with the girls tomorrow the next step is the mass production of the magic sword the mass production of the magic sword and the crystallization of the magic power from the vein is a plan that is being carried out not here but at the main base the Magic power in the vein hole is inexhaustible we are trying to use it to produce highquality weapons and to to extract magic crystals that can be used to power various magical tools is that technically possible the mechanism for pumping and collecting magic power from the vein holes can now be imitated by Analyzing the warding device in addition we are developing a mechanism to converge and crystallize the magic power by continuously irradiating existing Iron and steel armor with high powerered magic power we encourage it to turn into magic Iron and Steel it’s still in the experimental stage there is no doubt That if this were to be realized a lot of pro ress would be made if we can Mass produce magic Iron and steel armor that alone will improve the war potential of the entire Liberation Army compared to ordinary Iron and Steel weapons magic Iron and steel armor is stronger and Less prone to losing its sharpness and if it is armor it is more resistant to Magic H I don’t think I can help with something like that no wait a minute in the survival game of the world made of blocks there are elements that can add various effects to the equipment right There was an achievement for being a fantasy blacksmith so my ability itself May correspond to a magical element by preparing materials and building materials that are tinged with magical power I could be able to demonstrate my abilities in that direction there is no such workbench in my crafting menu at The moment but there is a good chance that if I put such a thing in my inventory it will be registered as a craft I’d like to ask you a few questions would you be willing to give me a small collection of magical materials H what do you need them for no It’s just an idea I’ll consult with Isler and the rest of the research and development department about what I just thought of in fact my abilities allow me to handle mithil and its Alloys which should not exist in my former world so there is a possibility that I can create A workbench that can be used to create such magical items and if I can create a workbench there is a possibility that I can craft something useful interesting as for your abilities it seems like anything is possible so there’s a lot of potentials there why don’t you just give It a try if you can make something out of it it we might be able to steal the technology from that product H you should try it I’m interested in the magic products that kuk makes everyone seemed to be on board with my suggestion it was decided that we would all gather The materials we had on hand and bring them tomorrow for experimentation ham the possibility of a new crafting table I’m looking forward to it chapter 62 etoo after the meeting at the research and development department I had free time it’s not even noon yet but there’s no more work I have To do today or places I have to show up there won’t be any attacks by the holy Kingdom’s army or gizmer for a while and there’s plenty of time to produce food and stockpile military supplies as for Mass producing something now that there are more people available it would be Better for The Liberation Army members to make everything by themselves except for things that I have to make in order to give work to the increased Manpower that’s why I’m going to be a free man for a while I’ll be able to devote more time to developing new items in the Crafting field which I haven’t done recently and to understanding and mastering my own abilities that’s why I’d like to try my hand at making miso and Sh you miso and shoou I can’t imagine what they would be like from the name alone after the meeting with danan And the others sfie joined me and we headed to the warehouse where we were stockpiling food accompanied by Sir Leonard who had come along with sfie to protect her the reason for this was to find some beans that could be used as ingredients I’m hoping to find some soy Like beans what kind of Bean is a soy bean it’s a bean in a pod about the size of the tip of your little finger they are not often eaten as they are the ones that are not fully ripe are delicious when boiled in salt I think they were Basically boiled and then processed into various shapes for use H then I think oil beans are close to that yes oil beans I think oil Bean they must be cultivated in this fort for obtaining oil the beans can be stored well and are not inedible if boiled so they must be Stockpiled when we arrived at the Food Warehouse the warehouse manager gave me a 10 kg bag of oil beans a lot of salt and 3 Kg each of Wheat and barley before they were Ground into flour are those all the ingredients yes we boil them mash them mix them and ferment them the First thing to make would be miso the only problem is the coji mold but I think I can handle that with my crafting skills compared to changing gizmer meat to look like beef I think I can easily skip the fermentation process with Koji bacteria I’m sure it will the question Is which crafting table can I use to make it I don’t think it’s the blacksmithing facility I can’t say that the improved workbench is definitely different but it’s probably not I suspect the cooking and mixing tables I put all the ingredients I had in my inventory and check the crafting menu For the cooking and mixing tables time soybean flour ingredients soybeans X2 time soy milk ingredients soybeans X2 water X2 soy milk and soybean flour were found in the crafting menu on the cooking table even if there’s only soybean flour there’s no rice cake the soy milk can be Made and processed to make tofu for now I’m going to make soy milk and soybean flour what is this soybean flour and soy milk I think it’s a mixture of roasted and ground beans boiled mashed squeezed and strained it’s very nutritious this powder is fragrant I think it can be Used for a lot of things the soy milk here is a little green it looks healthy silie and Sir Leonard immediately reach for the soy milk and soybean flour you guys are relatively undeterred soybean flour is often used in sweets it was used to mash and knad Grains to make Soft rice cakes which were then dipped in soybean flour mixed with sugar or to drizzle honey over the dipped rice cakes and eat them soy milk was consumed as a health drink it is rich in nutrients however there are many foods made from soy milk but there’s no miso What about the mixing table I looked at it but there was nothing like it here either um I should have the ingredients but I can’t make it so does that mean the workbench doesn’t support it no matter how much I imagine it it doesn’t add to the item Creations either if That’s the case I just need to make a special crafting table maybe some equipment for fermenting and aging Brewing barrels if I can make alcohol on a mixing table I think a mixing table could work then it’s barrels barrels barrels for brewing in item creation come out with the barrels Barrel times Brewing Barrel material would X10 yes what’s wrong no I just got a workbench I can use for Brewing Brewing huh can you make liquor I think so I’ll go and get some grapes and wheat sir Leonard dashed off to the nearby Food Warehouse how much wine and beer do you Want to drink old man will you be able to make honey wine too maybe I’ll get the honey sfie also so dashed off to the Food Warehouse you guys like to drink don’t you that’s what Brewing barrels are for it’s very good that the material Is cheap I’ll try to make two or three h are they stacked normally workbench related items don’t stack in inventory but Brewing barrels seem to stack in inventory like other materials and items so is this a consumable item I thought materials were light but not so much if They can’t be used repeatedly the Brewing Barrel is ready so I take out and try to access it when I did the Brewing menu came up times miso ingredients soybeans X2 grains X2 salt X2 water X2 Times show you ingredients soybeans X1 grains X1 salt X2 water X4 Yay but the ingredients for miso and shoou are almost the same the crafting time for shoou is so long 19.2 hours no it’s originally 24 hours but it’s been reduced by 20% by skilled worker skill originally it would have taken years to process so miso is about half of that Incidentally the number of soybeans needed to make a single batch of miso was about 200 g with 200 g of soybeans I was able to fill the barrel to the brim the law of conservation of mass is still in force today kuk I’ve brought you some honey I also brought grapes and wheat When the Miso and shoyu had been prepared the drinkers returned I took care of the ingredients they brought and access the menu of the Brewing barrels times Elven honey Wine ingredients honey X2 water X6 Times Wine ingredients grapes X10 times ale ingredients wheat X4 water X4 Times beer ingredients Barley X3 hops X1 water X4 well it looks like I can make it huh I understand Elven honey wine and wine but ale and beer are distinct but I don’t have any hops I wonder if any of the medicinal herbs that Isla and the elves shared With me could be a substitute for hops which one is it I’ll check it out later by the way the crafting time for the ale was amazing it was 8 minutes that’s fast next was the Elven honey wine which took 30 minutes the beer took 4.3 hours and The wine 8.6 hours the ale was ready to drink you say and the other drinks will be ready tomorrow are you Overjoyed no I never thought it would be this fast with kuk Brewing can be done in such a short time I’m glad the honey wine will be Ready soon too sir Leonard was delighted and silie smiled happily sir Leonard didn’t know it but sfie is quite a drinker she’s still a child in terms of Elvin age but she’s older than me it’s hard to say I’m also curious about the Miso and shoou that kosok prepared it Has a unique flavor but it’s delicious well it may or may not work for everyone however Shou is a versatile seasoning I think everyone will will fall in love with it soon miso is quite difficult to use isn’t it I can only think of miso soup and vegetables Marinated in miso also chanchan Yaki asterisk t n it’s product of Hokkaido in Japan this is the dish which seasoned salmon with the vegetables and was burned it’s also good to grill meat or fish marinated in miso maybe I can combine it with shoou and use it for Grilled dishes it would be good to just dip vegetables in it and nibble on them while we talked about this the ale was ready so I pulled out a ceramic mug and poured it from the barrel so it’s a subtle way of saying Victory we’ve done nothing to deserve it so here’s toos Cheers I feel embarrassed but cheers we lightly clinked our cups and slurped down the ale um I’ve never had it before but unlike beer it’s not bitter I think it’s a little sour but the aroma is fruity and good I think I’m more comfortable drinking this than beer H I’ve never had an ale before but it’s not not bad I agree kuk ale is excellent compared to this cheap ale from a Tavern is like horse piss that’s how good it is while drinking the Brewing process continues the barrel can be mass-produced with the improved workbench so it is being mass-produced To Greater claim and I have a lot of produce to brew I’ve got the same amount of miso and shoou and as much Elven honey wine wine ale and beer as I can handle as a result I have 20 barrels each of miso and Sh you 25 barrels of Elven honey wine 20 barrels of Ale and Five Barrels of beer and since I did it right near the pantry it was noticeable Lenard s is that ale by any chance oh yes it is it is a fine ale that kosok made for us you must drink it is that Okay no problem we’ll all drink it her highness has given her permission now drink thank you I haven’t had Ale in ages how long has it been since you’ve had a drink the liberated people who who had been freed during this Mission and remained here to fight as well as the Liberated people who I had just healed were all involved in the big party the Food Warehouse was opened up and I quietly prepared some ale after having some of the stockpile thrown out don’t I have to drink if I don’t I’m going to die of acute alcohol poisoning from all The alcohol being poured on me by everyone in the room so I’ll refrain I have to make AE for everyone to drink so I refuse to drink at this time haaha sfie is already ruined from drinking all the unfamiliar ale that is offered to her she is laughing with Amusement the Fermentation is too fast as expected of kuk San La Tilda la la Tilda dot Isa opened a barrel of freshly brewed ale and observed the fermentation with eyes that have lost their light Perna dexterously held the ceramic mug with her wings and slurped down the Alee the Brown feathered Harpy pess is drunk and starting to sing and has a pretty good voice what is going on your highness kuk danan who heard the commotion and rushed to the location was at a loss for words when he saw silie laughing and I silently making AE I took a new ceramic Mug out of my inventory poured some ale into it and offered it to him well drink up danan didn’t respond to my words he just let out a deep sigh and accepted the mug yes it can’t be helped if he’s angry about the lack of discipline but Silfy is already drunk drink up for today and we’ll get on with things tomorrow chapter 63 is Sil an Isla a he he kku I lent my shoulder to sfie who had completely lost her identity after drinking something she wasn’t used to as we made our way to our private Accommodation it’s our private space and I’ve put a lot of thought and Care into making it soundproof I wondered if it was okay that we were the only ones living in a special building but everyone said yes so I built it without hesitation sleep tight okay I’ll leave You some water Newan I put sfie on the bed put a jug of water and a ceramic IC mug on the table next to her and went back to the living room to sit on the Wicker couch phw the floor plan of this building is almost the same as that of Silus although the materials used are different the only difference is that there is no cross hallway and no backyard just a direct line to the bathroom I looked at the window but the sun was still high in the sky I had a meeting with iser and the others in the Morning followed by miso and shoou and Brewing alcohol and then a party I ate lunch on the spot and when everyone was drunk enough I got out of there as quickly as possible I left all the ale behind it looks like wheat production will increase there’s a theory that Agriculture developed in ancient times on Earth that the cultivation of wheat flourished because the people wanted to drink ale not eat bread I don’t know if it’s true or not but when I see everyone enjoying drinking rather than eating I think it might not be so wrong silie is Sleeping peacefully and I have no urgent business to attend to so it’s been a while since I’ve relaxed I set up a hammock stand in the living room and while laying on it I accessed the improved workbench I had placed between my eyes and tried out some item Creations to see if I could make some interesting items H I can’t make mithil bullets I haven’t made a b it for my bolt action rifle yet there was a sword attaching device so it should be possible to make one the material is mithil iron alloy I’ve been told by the Blacksmith lamia that adding even a very small amount of mithril to the iron makes it stronger and more resistant to rust which is very useful when I actually tried it I found that it was stronger than steel so I’ve been replacing more and more of my equipment With mithil iron Alloys times B it for bolt action rifle made of Mythril iron alloy material mithil iron alloy X1 wood X1 mechanical Parts 101 so it needs mechanical Parts huh oh is it for the bit locking mechanism I see the number of bolt action rifles currently in Production has increased slightly to 15 it would be a good idea to make 20 of them as spares the only people actually using them are me the Cat Beast Man Jag IRA and a few other Liberation Army Soldiers with excellent shooting skills I’d like to add a few more Shooters but I can’t procure ammunition for training assuming that 30 bullets are consumed in one training session if there are 10 of them the number of bullets consumed at one time is 300 what if this many people train every day it would be a complete depletion of materials Well for now the training is Done once a week so it’s manageable even so the weekly consumption of me Jag IRA and three others are 150 rounds I can see how much a weapon like a gun is a money grubber with a crossbow you can retrieve the arrows after target practice and the Arrow Head can be Sharpened or cast into a new Arrow Head if it’s a bit crushed what if this becomes a double barreled gun I don’t even want to think about it the day is far away when we’ll be able to operate ammunition hungry weapons like assault rifles and submachine guns whether or Not I actually make them it’s useful to add various things to the crafting list in item creation I haven’t actually made any but I’ve already added over 100 weapons to my crafting list not only swords but firearms and weapons as well I’ve actually made some of the better Ones and kept them in my inventory for example I made a mithil weapon for myself Foo Fu Foo it’s exciting to have a dedicated weapon I took out a so-called short sword from my inventory with a wide Blade the length of the blade is from my elbow to the tip of my Middle finger it’s a double-edged sword made of mithil with a simple flange and handle I might as well name it piercing sword a is it not hidden let’s not worry about the details fu fu Foo what a beautiful sword H beautiful that’s made of mithil right that’s right that’s right wo as I Grinned at the mithil short sword before I knew it islo was standing right next to the hammock stand huh when did she come in I didn’t notice her at all it was dangerous so I stored my sword in my inventory for the time being and stored the improved workbench as well you came In out of nowhere um I’m here to talk to her highness oh oh what will the conversation be about I want to hear it but I also don’t want to listen to it no I shouldn’t hear it yeah silie is completely ruined and asleep Isla wasn’t At the party was she I guess she’s not good at drinking I don’t think I’m very good at it either I see Isla muttered with her usual blank expression and sat down next to me the hammock swayed a little for some reason she started to Pull on my arm from the way she was pulling on my arm it seemed she was planning to put me on her lap H hey H I tried to stop her but Isa was stubborn it could not be helped so I decided to stop resisting and just accept her lap Pillow I can’t help but feel the warmth and softness of isa’s thighs against the right side of my face although it was through her clothes well under what situation is this I told you I would spoil you when you got back I see it seems that she is dutifully following What she said in the Golem communication isa’s hand Strokes my head I can’t see her face but I can sense that she’s enjoying herself are you feeling heavy it’s fine but this position is slightly difficult for me from sitting next to each other I’m lying sideways with my upper body on her Lap this is hard for my back this is fine I placed a cushion against the wall asked Isa to sit on it with her legs stretched out and spread her legs a little so that I was completely in between them this is a crotch pillow not a lap pillow it’s a little embarrassing But it’s nice to be able to see kok’s face that’s right that’s right the good thing about this position is that we can see each other’s faces and the legs of the person on the pillow don’t get numb with a slight blush on her cheeks and a Faint smile on her face Isa began to stroke my head ah this kind of thing is also nice this is the feeling of of being spoiled by iser who at first glance looks like a little girl is this what you call motherliness Isler is an adult right h of course I’m already 32 Years old to my senses you don’t look that old at all to put it bluntly she looks like a junior high school girl or even younger than that I’m sure she’s not taller than 150 CM her limbs are thin and Tiny I think her haircut also makes her look younger Her large eyes may also be the reason why she looks so young I really wonder about kosok people are creeped out by odd figures Like Me Maybe that’s true but it doesn’t bother me at all I’ve had a lot of exposure to the so-called monster girl genre and I’m not afraid of Them instead I like them a lot the light class starts with elves Angels demon girls and animal ears girls and the middle class includes oneeyed girls lamia Harpy AR ration slime girls different skin black and white eyes and and so on there are many criteria for classifying people in this area so this Is just my standard by the way I’m a person who can go all the way to the middle when I reached out and touched isa’s cheek it was very soft it was so smooth and puffy she blushed a little gently put her own hand on my hand and Rubbed her cheek against my hand I can’t help it her reaction is so cute isn’t thisa pretty spoiled too yeah I guess so shall we switch let’s not do that it’s not good for a guy to be in this position with a girl it’s dangerous for The back of the head is that so whether she noticed it or not Islam made a normal disappointed face it seems that Isla likes skinship silie tends to enjoy the conversation more no she likes skinship too though she’s a real sweetheart by the way how long are we Going to continue this are we going to do this until silie wakes up isn’t that going to be a complete disaster please help me syes what am I supposed to do at a time like this I spent about an hour and a half flirting with Isa while having such conflicts in mind H You’re here huh yes silie woke up while yawning and Isa who was once again patting me on the crotch pillow exchanged a short conversation and then sfie disappeared straight to the bathroom she must have had a lot to drink and needed to get something out I Think you’re on edge but we talked about it to some extent yesterday I see so last night after having a meal silie wandered out I wonder if she went out to talk with Isla did she come here today to continue the talk can I ask what the discussion is about we’re going to Discuss how to divide kosok divide yes your highness will take the right half and I will take the left you’re joking right of course I’m joking don’t make jokes with a straight face it’s bad for my heart I thought I was going to be cut In half by The Pale Moon silie who came out of the bathroom sat on a wicker couch and tapped her side apparently she wanted me to sit down I stood up and sat down next to her Isla sat down next to me I was sandwiched on both sides by Silie and Isla now how are we going to share kuk H How about if Isa has priority while the Sun is up and I have priority after the sun goes down that’s not fair I want to sleep with kuk too fumu how about we take turns for one day That’s good if someone can’t be around because of work the one who is around getting all the money I guess that’s the only way I have a lot of work to do Isla has a lot of work to do and kosok also has a lot of work to do H okay your Highness is the main wife and I am the concubine yes I suppose so however there will be more in the future perner and the other harpies we’ll talk about it when the time comes fortunately the harpy culture is originally about sharing one man with many people we can Learn a lot from them yeah lameir and Harpy are basically all women anyway hugging my arm silie and Isler are discussing my sharing plan in Stereo me I’ll just shut up and hold my breath this kind of thing is never going to be a bonus if I interfere I’m a machine That serves them yes do you have anything to add kuk H your opinion is also important I was trying to keep my breath down but they talk to me damn as expected there’s no such thing as Stealth at this distance it’s best if you two get along like sisters I think So from the bottom of my heart it’s not good for the relationship to become strained it’s mainly my mental health that’s at stake fumu I see just like the sisters then you can stop calling me Princess Isla what do I call you maybe you should call her SFI an aama maybe Sfie is a little older than her s and aama it’s kind of awkward is it okay if I call you as slur as before h that’s fine silie anisama Fufu anisama I was the youngest child and I used to wish I had a sister well that Came true in an unexpected way h a harmonious atmosphere prevailed it seems that their relationship is fine I want them to share me like this I’m happy that silie and Isa get along so well it makes me feel at peace yeah wait wait wait isn’t this happening too fast I was Trapped on the bed my clothes had been stripped off before I could see them by silie and thrown into the corner of the living room next to me and in front of me with a glowing eyes of sfie and Isa it’s not too early though sooner or Later we’re going to have this kind of relationship H I’ve been prepared for this I’ve also prepared some medicine NK Foo what kind of medicine are you sure it’s safe there’s nothing to worry about it’ll take a while for it to kick in in then I’ll show you where kok’s weakness Lies H wait wait it was useless to resist chapter 64 this is the second time I’ve done this since chapter 28 how’s your condition last night was too much for me I can’t stand that’s why I’m carrying her danan I’m sorry about yesterday danan interrupted me when I Appeared in the conference room carrying Isler in a princess’s carry early in the morning and when he heard what Isler and I had said he fell silent then he looked away he’s going to pretend he didn’t see it silie apologized for yesterday’s party and danan just shook his head in Response it seems that he does not really mind it ah now that we have gathered I would like to propose a change of plans for today danan who pretended not to have seen Isler and me began the conversation with a serious face oops the guy who just turned his Back on reality has a very serious face well yeah we’re the ones who are at fault aren’t we change of plans huh what exactly are you planning to do yumu due to kok’s plan the holy Kingdom’s Army stationed in the marinad Kingdom suffered a major blow perhaps the Situation is that they cannot grasp the current situation and the fortresses bordering the great amid Wilderness are almost empty of strength so I’m thinking that we should change our plan to take out the forts on the border of the territory first by setting up an aggressive attack from here fumu fumu H The people gathered in the conference room including silie were all thinking about it well it seems to me that the first first plan was to hide in the great amid Wilderness to accumulate strength and then gradually liberate remote villages to increase Manpower little by little the reason for doing so Was that we were too small in number even if we had conquered the enemy’s base we didn’t have the strength to maintain it however by liberating the rock salt mine we were able to secure an unexpectedly large number of men not all of them would fight as soldiers but the Number was already more than four times that of a time when the total number of soldiers was only about 300 the enemy strength has been drastically reduced so they won’t be able to fight back as much and the more we win the more our influence will increase and the less Influence the holy Kingdom’s Army will have in the marinad Kingdom as a result the number of marinad citizens who would come to our side would increase normally a sudden increase in population could cause severe starvation but we can make up for it with my abilities as for the Attack on the Fortress danan must be confident that he can manage to take out the almost empty fort in fact it would probably be easy for him to break into the fort if I were to help him if I could just get to the bottom of the fort Through a quick underground passage I could just send the troops inside and take control the other participants seem to have thought of what I had thought of and looking around at the participants faces they all seem to be positive about Dan’s proposal how many people can we actually mobilize the most we can Mobilize right away is about 200 people but if we only need to shoot crossbows we can add another 200 men in a week danan replied to sil’s question without hesitation hum 400 huh 400 huh I believe there are three forts on the border of the territory right yes that’s right if We have enough crossbows arrows and supplies we should be able to maintain them in addition the three forts that Harpy Scouts confirmed prior to this assault had a total troop strength of about 6,500 if we subtract the 5,500 that was destroyed this time there are only about 1,000 left the strength of each of the forts should drop to less than 400 by a simple calculation isn’t it something that can be calculated simply like that much less the enemy is hold up in the fort considering the melee force is 200 I don’t think it’s going to be that easy Silus concern was understandable obviously the defender has the advantage and in the first place the opponent is hold up in the fort it is quite impossible to destroy and subdue them with less than the same number of soldiers well that’s if you think about it normally it’s not a problem because We can use the weapons that kosok made to our advantage in particular the bombing by the harpies will quickly make defense tactics using forts obsolete if the two sides are shooting within range of each other’s arrows the goats foot crossbow which uses the principle of Leverage should be able to compete quite well Against the bow used by the holy Kingdom’s Army even considering the fact that the other side is camped on top of a protective wall the power and range should be more than evenly matched further more if the harpy bombing Squad launches aerial bombardment on the walls and Gates the holy Kingdom’s forces will Hardly be able to take advantage of the fort’s defense and no matter how much the fort is destroyed it can be easily repaired by me Fu this strategy you are assuming that kosok is going to be on the front lines right yes silie narrowed her eyes at Dank’s words is it possible to call it intimidation sfie emits a kind of intense pressure that makes those who see it feel a chill chill it’s not actually directed at me but it’s making me shiver do you think I’ll allow it no but it’s necessary danan replies accepting the pressure of silus words Without hesitation as the tension between the two increases another person speaks up I agree with danan I think we have to start taking a stand at some point otherwise I don’t think we can turn the situation around and if we want to win we should do it quickly before they take Counter measures it was Sir Leonard just like danan he is unfaced by the deadly pressure from sfie you guys are amazing counter measures huh Isa what do you think it’s difficult when it comes to Harpy’s aerial bombardment a single shot can be defended with Advanced Earth Magic I think if they use their precious materials to make defensive magic tools they can defend against one shot as well do you think the holy Kingdom’s Army will be able to take perfect counter measures with that method impossible I don’t think it’s possible to secure such a large number of mags Who can use Advanced Earth Magic and it’s not practical to deploy such magic tools to all 10,000 units of soldiers if I were them I would think more in the direction of shooting down harpies and falling bombs than defending against aerial bombardment wind magic or combined attribute lightning magic with Longer range could be a possibility how long would that take to counter they would have to create whole new magic it will take a long time probably several years I see what about the crossbow it is powerful but not so powerful that magic barriers can’t protect it the bolt Action rifle is impossible to prevent with magic it has too much penetrating power and can easily penetrate few moo overall based on what Isa said there is a possibility that in a few years the aerial bombardment by Harpy will be counted in some way whether you see it As having a few years or only a few years it can’t be helped however if kosak goes to the front I’ll go to the front too I will not accept any objections your highness as for the importance of our bodies will there be much difference between kosok And me if either of us dies The Liberation Army will not be able to stand then if I protect kosok and kuk protects me the survival rate will increase greatly isn’t that right it’s true that with sfie by my side I’ll be able to manage even if enemy soldiers Surround me on the battlefield on the contrary there must be a certain amount of situations where I can help her by being with her it will definitely be more survivable than taking me to the front alone in the first place do you think I can be easily beaten when did I Become a weak and fragile princess in your mind danan as you wish the result of the argument was a painful split danan agreed to let silie accompany me to the front while sfie agreed to let danan accompany her the only problem was that they decided to send me to the Front without asking my opinion at all no it’s fine but isn’t it good it’s not good yeah but I guess it can’t be helped that’s how much they expect from me I’ll do my best not to drag them down I’m scared of the battlefield though the Decision was made to go on the offensive and each of us had to move in a hurry I had to increase food production Mass produce various equipment Mass produce arrowheads and mine the mineral resources scattered in the wilderness and at night I’ll make love with sfie And Isa yeah I want them to go a little easier on me I feel like I’m going to dry out also Isa don’t use that potion I can’t keep up with it do you have a potion for me too first of all let’s not even think about using that Potion okay Isa was working tirelessly with the research and development department on various research and development projects there seem to be no inventions that would be ready in time for the mission yes the magic related materials that everyone had brought in were collected and a new workbench was Added to the list of crafting items times granting workbench materials mithil X5 gemstones X12 magicalized Stone X20 magicalized wood X10 magicalized clay X10 there are no materials yeah it’s as you can see I can manage mithil and gemstones but I don’t have enough of the various magicalized Materials to make it it was decided to have them made using the magic power of the vein hole in the main base it seems to take a long time and I don’t think I’ll be able to make it in time for the mission however I’m looking forward to The granting workbench and to what it can do is it possible to add some kind of magical effect to weapons silie danan sir Leonard perner and others seem to be busy with training and meetings they seem to be actively communicating with the main base using Golem communication devices there’s melty Mami gerder and Shammer over there they are probably communicating about the training of soldiers and the movement of replies it was one day about a week after I had been busy what’s the situation here kuk when you come back you will say I’m home right oh I’m sorry I’m home so what’s The situation here I apologize to sfie who was sitting on the couch and asked her to explain again why did I ask that you say welcome back kukan welcome back W welcome back danama ham Pera pessa and flam were standing in the kitchen with iser they are the three harpies who Witnessed the explosion of the temporary fought last time it seems that iser is taking the lead in cooking dinner I wondered if they could cook with their harpy wings I thought but they’re handling the utensils with more dexterity than I expected before we go to the battlefield yeah they want to Have that kind of relationship with kosok that’s pretty straightforward you never know when you’re going to die on the battlefield I was shocked as if I had been hit on the head I had been taking it easy but what we were heading now was a battlefield a real Battlefield where People kill each other no one knows what will happen or who will die there when I looked at sfie her mouth Twisted into a grin I haven’t seen that smile in a while I’m sure she saw through my agitation we harpies are especially hated by the people of the Holy Kingdom I if we fall in the middle of the enemy Army it would be lucky if we were killed right away Perna smiled bitterly flam shuddered and pessa laughed indifferently isas stared at them without saying a word silfy 2 3 4 5 or more is the same thing isn’t it I don’t Think it’s the same and no it’s not that’s not what I’m saying you’re a Troublesome fellow Kook silfy grinned and slurp down a ceramic mug filled with honey wine what’s the fun in that I’m having a rather serious problem kuk you are indeed a morbo with rare abilities But you only have two arms and they are of limited length besides we’re warriors me perer pessa flam andisa we can take care of ourselves and if we fall because of our inability to do so it’s our own fault there is nothing for kosok to feel Responsible for who lives or dies on the battlefield but if you don’t go into battle you won’t die how can that be even if I stay hold up in the greater mid Wilderness they’ll come for me they’re fighting the Empire aren’t they they can’t afford to touch you here That’s not true kosok we are safe because there is a war going on with the Empire if they make peace with the Empire and can allocate their forces elsewhere the Holy Kingdom will start expanding to the western part of the continent again if they do that they Will surely try to cross the great amid Wilderness and invade the Black Forest I guarantee that the war with the Empire has been going on for a long time both sides are exhausted they could move to make peace at any moment Isa Who Came From The Kitchen carrying a large pot Said so perner and the others nodded nervous ly anyway let’s have dinner with a single word from sfie everyone was seated at the table an Isla poured the contents of the pot into bowls and started serving it to everyone today’s menu is some kind of porridge it was Probably made of wheat it was yellowish in color and had a sweet Aroma it’s a strange soup like porridge what is this it’s a traditional Harpy dish it is good for nourishment and digestion fumu itadakimasu I scooped it up with a spoon and put it in my mouth it was like a Slightly sweet porridge it had a strange texture somewhere between soup and porridge it’s not powdery and it’s thicker than I expected I wondered if there was an egg in it what do you think it’s delicious it’s more like a sweet than a meal corn pottage soup is sweet But it’s sweeter than that but it’s not as sweet as candy it has a pleasant aftertaste and it also has a refreshing feeling as if it contains some kind of herb the feeling of it going into my my stomach smoothly was also quite Pleasant yeah it feels a lot more like cooking Than the random dishes I make it’s a traditional dish is that so I’m glad I I am glad you like it well I’m glad you enjoyed it since I gave birth to it what did she give birth did she give birth to it what eat eggs eggs see could it be C Cooo yes this dish is made with Perna’s eggs what did you say a seriously is that okay no is it ethically acceptable I mean you guys are eating it without a care in the world a e it’s an unfertilized egg after all it’s a waste if you don’t eat it I it’s Fine you know delicious I was struck by culture shock it’s such a shock that I don’t care if I’m going to a battlefield or not they eat the eggs they’ve laid oh is that the culture I see you don’t eat unfertilized eggs right yes we do oh of Course oh oh that’s a problem right I mean how do you tell the difference between a fertilized egg and an unfertilized egg fertilized eggs don’t come out of the belly huh because when you’re pregnant your belly grows what kok’s got a funny look on his face Isley Used to make that face when she first met kuk so you’re saying that fertilized eggs grow inside the belly as fetuses and unfertilized eggs come out as eggs that’s mess up biology Harpy I don’t know what’s going on or in the case of this Theory this unfertilized egg is an Egg so let’s not think about it too much I feel like I’m opening a bad door would you like a refill be please e a lot since it’s a special occasion don’t forget to eat all of it in spite of my anguish perer and the others smilingly Offered me a refill chapter 65 is start marching there is a word that means to gather together it’s a word with an image of many people Gathering Together or everyone surrounding each other or something like that yeah what is it you ask you’re probably wondering of course you would well it’s Just my opinion about what happened last night after we ate perers and other harpies traditional food yeah I don’t think I would be dealing with five people at once however even though I had to deal with five people it was easier than when I dealt with sfie and Isa it Seems that the nourishing effects of the traditional dishes were real good morning danama G good morning danama morning danisan when I woke up my whole body was wrapped in warm feathers it was because perer and flam were hugging me on my left and right arms and pessa was Hugging me around my waist pessaan that’s not a good place to be where are sfie and Isa they are already up and ready for breakfast I see the feel of the feathers rustling against my skin was tickling and comforting it was warm and it made me want to fall asleep again A are you feeling all right strange strangely enough I don’t seem to have any problems I’m more worried about you girls even though it was the first time I was so intense that I didn’t even try to fool myself with medicine as Isla did oh we’ll lay eggs we’ll be fine in that Sense I see I talked with perer and the others while wrapped in a natural down comforter until sfie and Isa came to call me no but you can’t go there pesan it’s not good there I said no it’s just a physiological phenomenon you look tired this morning love is heavy I’ve Been taken care of in various ways this morning sfie was boiling a bath for me so I took a bath to flush out all the stuff from yesterday the three of the harpies washed me all over and it was a real treat I was a little tired though Hahaa you just have to take it in stride it’s just the beginning what I couldn’t understand the meaning of silus words and asked her back then perner and the others came out of the bath at just the right time perer how many people did you Have in total all 18 I think 15 to go good luck kosok you’re kidding right I feel my face tents up you want me to take on all of the harpies I think that’s a bit of a quandry I’m not sure if I can support All of them but I’m not that worthy of them I mean that number is simply going to be out of control due to my mental fatigue kukan we’re serious everyone adors you danis danisan is our savior after all I turn my gaze to sfie she quietly shook her head it seems that This is the culture of these harpies in the first place they share one man with a few to a dozen or even dozens or hundreds of others why you re kidding it’s true a Harpy’s child is a harpy harpies are born only to women it’s not uncommon for a generation of sisters to Be born to the same partner what a Fantastical biology that is in the end it took me several days to deal with all the harpies including fronte and the others silus and isa’s attacks were just as Fierce as their Rivals so while my heart was full my body was in pain let’s Do our best oh it’s been a while since I’ve seen Sykes in the research and development department so I shook his hand firmly it seems that he saw my face and realized what the situation was the only way is to build a shelf in your Mind you must build it in your mind what Senpai says carries a different weight oh take this it will help your tired body and keep your strength up you kindness will be greatly appreciated I handed syes a newly developed stamina recovery potion the recovery effect is not drastic but its duration is very Long and it also gradually Returns the lowered stamina and Life to normal values good luck yes it was the next day that the invasion of the marinad kingdom was declared you look very tired I hope you’re okay I’m fine I’m fine I wondered if my eyes were too tired as soon as we Met in the conference room danan was worried about me in addition the skin of several harpies including sfie and Isler on either side of me and perer next to them is glowing I think they’re sucking the life force of me it’s not easy being popular an old man with a lion’s face is Smirking at me what are you laughing at I’ll send you back to the main base one day and make you and danan dedicate yourselves to the widows remember that t n l m AO this time it’s an allout War our goal is to take the three fors in One Fell Swoop with all of our major forces y me what about our forces we have 200 elite soldiers who can also fight in close combat and 300 crossbowmen who have completed their crossbow training making a total of 500 that’s quite an increase yes there are more liberated people who want to Participate in the battle to reclaim the marinad kingdom than we thought even with defensive troops at each base we still have this many people when he said defense troops he meant about 50 crossbowmen who had also learned to to use ballista it’s not much but crossbows Ballisti and a 7 m high wall should be enough to deal with gizmer there is no problem when it comes to Transportation as long as kosok Dono is present M zami whom I have not seen in a long time says so with a face as emotionless as ever She is a so-called lizard man no a lizard woman she is a woman but her face is completely that of a reptile when she was in the marinad Kingdom she was an expert Spearman who served as a spear instructor for the royal family and when danan and the others rebelled in the Marinad Kingdom 3 years ago she fought on the front lines and defeated many soldiers of the Holy Kingdom army with her spear she was not able to participate in the previous Liberation operation because she was in charge of guarding the main base with melty and She was not able to be involved in the subsequent defeat of the Holy Kingdom’s Army so she strongly requested sfie and me to definitely participate in this operation to retake the marinad kingdom territory incidentally like sir Leonard she’s also equipped with a Mythril weapon that that I made mithril is quite Sturdy as a metal so there was no need to make it as big and thick as the Beast spear I had given to Mami before even so she requested a large boded spear with a Long Blade so the result was more like a long boded jumongi spear rather than a Long sword with a long handle it is also equipped with a sharp mithril blade at the spearhead making it an incredibly aggressive piece she was using this spear named Meta to exterminate gizmer around the main base as if to relieve her exasperation it is a problem that The burden is only on kosok it’s not so much a burden but it’s still distorting it seems that it would take a lot of work to take in and out supplies for 500 people every day but I’m the only one who can do the job so I have to do it It’s no secret that we’re a group that relies heavily on kosok we should make every effort to eliminate the need to burden kuk as soon as possible silie smiled bitterly for the time being the other group members seem to be thinking the same way and they all have a bitter Expression on their faces as for me I don’t feel bad about the fact that someone is relying on me so what’s the lineup this time me kuk danan Mami Isla and melty will be with us sir Leonard will be staying at home this time it can’t be helped I was there last time Sir Leonard nodded obediently well I’ve heard that he went on quite a rampage in the last Liberation Mission as for the harpies not all 18 of them are going out and three of them will remain at the Frontline Fort since the Golem communication device is now sufficient To communicate with the main base it seems that they will simply stay as Scouts other former Royal army soldiers such as W and gerder as well as former adventurers such as Shamar and Indi will all be going out in addition the rifle Squad consisting of Jaga and four of her Subordinates who had completed bolt action rifle training would be under my command along with the harpy bomb squad the forces using my special weapons such as bolt action rifles and Harpy aerial bombs were to be under my command if they weren’t with me they would wouldn’t Be able to resupply the basic tactic is to surround the fort after Harpy’s aerial bombardment has weakened the enemy’s resistance and kosok digs a hole in the Shadows of the Night to send troops into the fort and control it we’re going to try to Kill the Messenger As much as possible we need to take out two of the three forts before the situation is exposed even if we have to use our precious aerial bombs please try to destroy the messengers from the first Fort we capture I I are there any more questions no then let’s move leave me in Charge of this place sir Leonard saw us off and we began our military campaign to retake the fort at the territory’s border the necessary supplies were already in my inventory The Liberation Army soldiers had already finished their preparations for the March so the March began immediately after the meeting at The front was an Elite Force of former Royal army soldiers led by danan there were about 100 soldiers in the group 40 heavily armed infantrymen armed with strong armor large Shields and one-handed weapons and 60 light infantrymen armed with crossbows Spears daggers and light armor made of gizmer Shells these were soldiers who excelled in group combat behind them followed 300 Liberation Army soldiers led by silie and her second in command Mami like the light infantry they were armed with Spears daggers and crossbows and in a sense were the main Force basically the crossbow is the main weapon while the Spear and Dagger are self-defense weapons for when they are involved in close combat their skill level is one step below that of the light infantry led by danan but they are reasonably proficient at crossbow shooting in the meantime Shamus Army of 100 Rangers made up of former adventurers acted as the Guard their armaments are all different but their individual combat abilities exceed those of Dan’s elite soldiers they are difficult to operate but they are strong in melee combat they will be mainly used as a raiding Force inside the fort in addition there are five Riflemen led by me 15 members of the Harpy Air Force and 10 members of the Mage called led by Isa there are also about 10 civilian officers including melty but they are not counted as part of the force melty seems to be strong though I’m a weak Maiden you know oh yes you are what’s with that reaction what Kind of joke is it that melty is a weak Maiden who can easily subdue sfie and turn her into a dressup doll I can’t help but feel that she would be able to take down the enemy soldiers if the situation called for it the March was Going very well every once in a while gizmer appears but a volley of crossbows quickly exterminates it then I’m sent on a run to collect gizar would you guys mind drawing them out a little more before you exterminate them thanks for the effort kuk yeah kuk what’s with the Inexplicable jumping motion oops here comes the trouble apparently Isla has been watching my stra jumping for some time now what even if you ask me I can’t explain it either it’s a trick that utilizes command actions like a bug they’re getting along very well aren’t They I guess so do you think I should join you no you can’t what’s with you sfie I think there is some kind of horrible conversation going on behind me as I struggle to explain to ISA but I’ll pretend it’s just my imagination melty is aiming for me too after all and my Spine is starting to tingle I made eye contact with Jag who was walking nearby and asked her for help but she averted her eyes what kind of a subordinate abandons her Superior in the end I couldn’t give enough of an explanation to satisfy Isa so I had to jump up and Down in front of her it seems that if I can’t explain it she’ll just observe it herself and come to her own conclusions inexplicable I know but like the rest of my abilities Isa was unable to discover the principle behind it I was too tired from all the jumping around for nothing It makes me uneasy to look at it’s bizarre to be honest it’s a little creepy my glass heart was on the verge of breaking they’re terrible people aren’t they here let Mama comfort you you melty smiles benevolently and opens her arms as if to say come on I’ll give You a hug a magnificent pair of breasts comparable to silus jiggled excessively hauh this Kook is not going to be caught by such an obvious fishing hook Mama G don’t fall for that obvious fishing hook you idiot when I was going to jump into Mel’s chest letting my instincts take Over sfie grabbed me by the back collar and my neck tightened up in addition Isa who had crept up on me before I knew it puffed out her cheeks and punched me in the side it doesn’t hurt but I can feel her dissatisfaction you’re very flirtatious aren’t you kuk to put it Bluntly I feel like I’m too nervous about getting excited it’s only the first day but we’re getting closer and closer to the battlefield it would be strange not to be nervous when I’m really nervous I get excited and start talking a lot that’s a problem sfie please take good care of Him I don’t need to be told if it’s too much for you I can help you if you want no thank you silie and Isa hugged me from both sides and warned melty isn’t the way these two are wary of melty a bit unusual fu fu Foo Fu sha melty leaks A leisurely smile and silie and Isa threaten her Isa let out intimidation wait can that be called intimidation I’m not sure it’s cute though at that time a voice from the front said the destination is in sight it seemed we had arrived at the first shelter the shelter has a capacity of 500 people or up to 1,000 if it’s packed tight so The Liberation Army members should all be able to find a place to sleep without any problems I’ll have to prepare some food when we get there let’s get along from now on to kukan why foooo sha their menacing looks to melty Were Unstoppable chapter 66 e attacking the fort after arriving at the first shelter we stayed there for the night and then continued to the second third and fourth shelters to reach the former fifth shelter or rather the point where the temporary Fort was located more than 2 weeks had already passed since the Explosion of the temporary Fort so we were prepared for anything we knew that the decomposing corpses would probably be a mess it’s not as bad as I thought huh there’s still a bit of a smell but I guess that means the gizmos took care of it nicely the more you approach this Place the greater the number of gizar probably they came to Devour the corpses of the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom who died in the explosion of the temporary Fort however considering the fact that they cleaned up the corpses in such a neat manner I guess they’re good Cleaners the dead bodies of gizar that we killed in this area were collected and dismembered but the meat was discarded I don’t feel like eating the meat of a gizar that has devoured the corpses of the Holy Kingdom’s people or rather there are many problems with it I’ll use the shells and leg tendons as materials though we went a little further from where the temporary Fort was set up and built a new temporary Fort around where the smell of death was no longer present using my Blueprinting function it was only a matter of seconds It’s a nightmare for the enemy I know suddenly a fort appeared within a stone’s throw in fact it took less than half a day to walk from the new temporary Fort to the nearest bordering Fort the distance from the fourth shelter was a bit longer but it could Not be helped we had many battles with gizmer on the way so by the time we reached this place and set up the fort the sun had already set T the number of enemies on the defensive was about 350 their morale seemed to be low after dinner flam the light brown Harpy and Kpri also a light brown Harpy reported the results of their reconnaissance in the conference room of the temporary Fort basically harpies don’t have much night vision but flam and cpri were unusually night sighted for harpies flam has feathers like animal ears sticking out of her head so I guess she’s a Horned owl I wondered what kind of Harpy cpri was is it a night Hawk she’s an unusual girl who speaks in a pseudo canai dialect after resting we will set out at dawn we’ll encircle the enemy fort in the early morning and cut off their message a morning sorty that Sounds good Mami Smiles fiercely no she might have been trying to put on a big smile but when she smiles it looks like a ferocious smile to me because she has a lizard-like face the plan is the same as we talked about before we left we will surround the fort and make it Impossible for them to send a message then we’ll bombard it with Harpy aerial bombs and cut down the enemy’s resistance if they surrender then good if they don’t surrender we’ll wait for night and kosak will dig an underground passage into the fort send in the soldiers and Conquer it from the inside it’s simple there are two entrances to the Fort right yes I’ve confirmed it from the air so I’m sure right flam why yes there’s one gate on the North side and one on the south side if we’re going to surround them we’ll have to split our Forces in two I’ll hold the north side with 100 former Kingdom soldiers led by me and 150 crossbowmen half of the entire crossbow Force I want her highness to lead the remaining troops and hold the South Side do I have to hold the south gate with you princess That’s right please AO we the Mage Corp will join the blockade of the north side the South Side will be able to defend itself against Arrows with kosok but the north side is inadequately defended against Arrows with the current formation that would be a great help the North side will be blocked by 100 Elite troops and 150 crossbowmen led by danan and 10 Mage cor led by iser the south side will be blocked by 150 crossbowmen led by silie and Mami 100 former Adventurer call led by shammer and 15 harpier core and five Riflemen under my Command iser and the others were said to be able to use wind and Earth Magic barriers to protect their allies from the enemy’s arrows silie and I are indeed on the South Side so we can do whatever we want with the Enemy arrows if I wanted I could build a wall higher Than the enemy’s Fort and beat them to a pulp one way or another I’m not going to do it though so now that we’ve confirmed let’s break up get a good night’s rest in preparation for tomorrow is that clear danan looked at sfie ISA harpies and the others the reason he doesn’t Look at me is because he knows exactly who is in control I almost burst into tears at dank’s concern it’s okay no problem all right silie grinned Isa nodded blankly and Perna Smiled On behalf of the harpies is danan really okay with this it seemed that danan was Convinced by their reply although there was a look of uncertainty on his face I also hope that their reply will be followed through well to tell you the truth I don’t mind it that much beautiful women beautiful girls they want me they sneak into my bed at night And take me into their bed at first the ethics I developed in Japan got in the way of many things but after a week I got used to it I’m even enjoying it now ha haa danan gave me a pitiful look please don’t give me that look it Affects me it’s been a long time since I’ve had a peaceful night since everyone has been behaving themselves I feel like I’m sleeping in an oversized bed that’s too big to be called a king though I’m warm from the body heat of SFI and Isa and the feathers of harpes an yes then We got up while it was still dark finished eating and started marching since we could couldn’t use fire the rest of the Liberation Army soldiers seem to have eaten block cookies and dried meat we ate hot meals from my inventory though at least with silie here we deserve this kind of treatment Right we set out and walked for several hours we arrived at the fortress on the border of the territory Before Dawn had even broken it was still early in the morning it’s not quite Dawn yet but it’s getting light it’s too late to panic now we’ve already split up from danan and The other Detachment by this time danan and the others should be in a position to blockade the northern gate on the wall of the fortress on the border of the territory the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom seem to be moving around busily and the bell is ringing intermittently This may be a signal that the enemy is attacking the fort okay kuk let’s go aren’t you going to call them to surrender or something no it’s useless I see let’s get as close as we can with the crossbows y me advance at silus signal the crossbow core Advanced To a point about 70 M from the wall with its relatively Strong Leaf Spring a goatsfoot crossbow is sufficient to shoot the enemy on the wall at this distance in fact the crossbow soldiers were trained to shoot at Targets set up on the city walls at this distance kuk AO then I set up walls to protect us from the arrows it seemed that the enemy was not yet ready to intercept but Mami escorted me arrows flew at us sporadically but I didn’t even get a glimpse of them after the shielding was set up up the crossbowman started firing Back perhaps it was the effect of their training but the enemy’s damage seemed to be increasing although we are not without damage we seem to have the overwhelming advantage in the F fight kakan we will go too all right get ready for battle the legs of the harpy Air Force were equipped with aerial bombs the process itself is very simple the aerial bombs for Harpy have been further improved since then so that instead of having to tie them you can simply hook the hooks of the aerial bombs to the harnesses that the harpies have equipped After the harpies grabs the handle of the air bomb they can hook the hook on the cord that activates the fuse that’s all it takes to complete the sorty so the time it takes for each person to detonate the bomb is sufficient for about 10 seconds we’re off then Safety First yes as perner and the others flew away sfie instructed the crossbowman to prepare for the explosion it would be foolish to get injured by flying debris or anything else until the bombing is over we must stay completely hidden behind Shields and concentrate on defense me silie mizi and the other Civil officers also hide behind the shields I’ve set up as I looked up at the sky I saw the harpies soaring and dropping aerial bombs they’re coming everybody get down at silice command the crossbowman completely hid behind cover and covered their ears I told them to keep their mouths open beforehand but I’m not sure how effective that would be a tremendous sound and impact came through it’s even through the shielding it was amazing after confirming that the explosion had stopped I peaked out from behind the shielding and found the enemy fought in ruins the walls had collapsed And were in shambles the gate was half destroyed as if it had been intensively bombed I don’t know what’s going on inside but I’m sure it’s in a terrible State uh what should we do about this wait danan what’s the situation over there the enemy’s resistance is gone and The south gate has been destroyed it’s easy to get in we’re in the same situation should we move in letun do it we’re going in in 5 minutes understood as soon as silie finishes communicating with danan on the Golem communicator perer and the other harpies return you Did it it’s a great achievement most of the enemies have been blown away praise Us Praise us oh yes well done while I was dealing with the harpies sfie and Mami instructed the former adventurers to prepare for the raid shammer also seems to be very excited with the large Gold Crusher in her hand I don’t know how many Holy Kingdom soldiers are left but I wonder if those guys will get raided after being hit hard by the bombing it’s pitiful then we’re going in Follow Me Oh silie took the lead and charged into the enemy Fort there is Nothing to stop them as the attack from the top of a defensive wall has already stopped perhaps silfy used some kind of magic and the half-destroyed gates of the fort were blown inward with a flash of light and a bursting sound sound what a scary thing and for a while I kept Hearing the sounds of battle or rather the angry voices of the raiding troops inside the fort it was only for 15 minutes or so but it was a while then with a battlecry of War a new flag was raised above the half-destroyed castle gate it was the flag of the former Marinad Kingdom it seems that our control is complete it seems so it’s a bit disheartening the only thing I did was set up a shield and take harp these aerial bombs out of my inventory of course I helped with the bombing but melty and the other civil servants Helped too even so I have to repair that wreck thing The Battered walls and the gates of the Fortress which were already in a ridiculous state after silus crushing blow were rather depressing to behold it even feels like it would be easier to clear the land and rebuild it With the blueprint function please do your best I’m rooting for you hey I replied absentmindedly and was about to walk towards the fort when melty grabbed my arm I tilted my head and wondered what was going on but she leaned in close to me and whispered softly in my Ear I’ll give you a reward if you want kukan P she whispered in a seductive voice and I shuddered block no kukan you can’t do you want to see the princess get mad at you however pess and cpri the light brown feathered Harpy intervened between melty and me it’s a nice Cut Kukan will have something to do inside so please leave this to us oh okay I decided to obey Perna’s words and head into the fort there’s a lot of sound of chirping and yuu Fu Fufu in the back I feel like I heard something behind me But I’m sure it was just my imagination I ran towards the fort without looking back whoa coook it’s perfect no this scene must be hard for the unaccustomed person the scene inside the for was kind of awful blood stains with no physical damage to the body are pretty good but There are also pieces of Flesh and body parts that I can’t understand it’s bad it’s so bad that my vocabulary is rapidly deteriorating this shows how much consideration is given to the player when it comes to Goring games and the smell the smell is awful it’s mostly because of the bombs surely this Wouldn’t happen with a normal weapon it could be with magic though anyway we can’t even use the fort in this state let’s get rid of it as soon as possible with Dan’s order former soldiers of the marinad kingdom and former adventurers cleaned up the Holy Kingdom soldiers Corpses around the fort they seem to be gathering them in one place and burning them sfie has been rubbing my back for a while now thank you sfie oh how do you burn the bodies you’ve collected burn them with magic then bury them in ashes normally they would try to identify the Bodies as much as possible and at least keep the hair but this time many of them had been blown up by aerial bombs so they couldn’t do that what about the prisoners about 20 some were fortunate enough to be unharmed or lightly wounded some were unconscious and a few Surrendered when the battle turned into a melee most of those who survived the raid and moved around chose to resist and were killed from the perspective of the devoted Adele worshippers surrendering to a subhuman is Unthinkable and disgraceful seriously religion’s terrible indeed but still when it was all over it was really quite Disheartening I think Harpy’s aerial bombardment was too much of a punishment it seems that there was hardly any battle at all it is said that there were less than 50 men who could fight properly when they entered the fort kosok please repair the fort the enemy May still be lurking so I’ll be your escort Mami Stood Beside Me carrying a shining mithil cross spear I’ve heard that she happily ramed out the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom Army rather more than 10 of the 50 enemy soldiers disappeared in the presence of the myal Cross spear Metea it’s a magnificent Spear it was wonderfully sharp perhaps she know noticed that I was looking at her meteor Mami smiled at me it scares me in this way we had taken a solid step toward the recapture of the marinad Kingdom chapter 67 ly after cleaning up the corpse I was swamped in fact it’s no Exaggeration to say that this is where my work really begins you’re getting used to it aren’t you kuk that’s because I already do a lot of work I repaired the half-destroyed buildings and walls and installed a watering hole the fort had a well but my infinite water source Is much more convenient while I’ve been doing various repairs everyone has been cleaning up the blood inside of the fort with 500 people the cleanup itself went quickly there are still some supplies left melty who was able to safely see supplies such as food and weapons from The warehouse was overjoyed for now The Liberation Army is operating almost entirely on the supplies I provide so there is little in the way of personal wealth however once the marinad kingdom is reclaimed and the Country Returns to to a normal economic sphere it will be necessary to carry out normal economic Activities in other words you have to pay everyone’s wages was there some money there yes there is some mostly personal money belonging to the soldiers of this fort though the commander of the fort had some money right they have to pay their salaries well to a certain Extent yes but it’s a Frontline Fort it’s not enough at all from Mel’s Viewpoint I suppose well indeed the amount ofone that can be found in one of these not so big forts is quite small and melty is right this is a Frontline Fort there’s no way they’d be storing that much money In a place like this I don’t know if it’s okay to act like a Firebrand or a bandit This Is War you know it’s our legitimate right to loot The Spoils of War so we made a raid early in the morning and succeeded in capturing the Holy kingdoms fort in a very short time and by noon we had finished repairing and cleaning the fort and finished its maintenance in the end all the the buildings within the walls were to be rebuilt by kosok it can’t be helped since the dormitories kosok makes a cleaner sturdier and more convenient That’s right I think so too as we ate the lunch we had made together we were immediately in a relaxed mode the group consisted of me sfie Isla and harpies the menu for today’s lunch was a soup filled with dried meat dried vegetables dried mushrooms and other ingredients Stockpiled in the fort and dumplings made from needed grain flour the harpies were eating it with spoons dextrously in fact the soup was surprisingly delicious with lots of ingredients and a strong Taste of dried meat dried vegetables and dried mushroom broth you’re asking if it’s okay to be So relaxed it’s fine I’ve already worked hard meals are important after we finish eating silie has a meeting to discuss our future plans and the harpies have to go out to scout in various directions as for iser and me I’ve already done my job and Isa has worked hard enough Incinerating corpses and treating the wounded while I worked in the morning to put it bluntly there was hardly anything left to do we’ve got all the supplies we need in the warehouse and I’ve set up the ballist on the wall what are you going to do after lunch kuk I’m pretty Much done with my work I think I’m going to check out the fort again then I’m going to plant a field in a vacant lot and after that I’m going to relax H I’ll join you okay I might call you to a meeting so just keep that in mind okay Everyone is going to scout right yes we’ll be scouting in groups of three thanks to the Golem Communicator that is Lan made our reconnaissance is going well glad to be of service as I predicted the harpies seem to be going on a reconnaissance mission speaking of Which how far away are the other forts I didn’t know so I asked this one is in the middle of the three forts there should be one fort every 3 days walk to the east and west 3 days that’s quite a distance but at that distance will the magic Waves from the Golem Communicator be able to reach without problems ham it should there are no Hills or mountains to reduce the magic waves I see after finishing the meal it was time for a short break I took out the big bed I brought from the Frontline base and we All took a nap we woke up early today and we were tired from the battle and the cleanup after an hour or so of nap time sfie and the harpies left for their own meetings and reconnaissance the two who remained were Isler and me fua do you want to sleep Some more um everyone’s doing their best so we should do our best too yeah iser is very serious after all so I walked around the fort with iser to check for any problems the expression of The Liberation Army soldiers is cheerful it’s no surprise that since they were Able to take the holy Kingdom’s Fortress without much danger thanks to you we were able to make the Holy Kingdom Army howl I would have liked to have hurt them a little more but it’s the explosions right it’s a little disconcerting don’t let your guard down Too much if it hadn’t been for that explosion someone might have died in the meantime no one was killed in the battle the resistance of the opponent was sporadic a few people were injured by arrows that pierced them but no one was killed instantly because of a bad hit The wounded were all healed by the recovery magic of the Mage core if you find anything wrong with the fort or any problems let me know I’ll fix it everyone in the liberation Army agreed to my request in their own way it would make my job a lot easier if I could get Along with the Liberation Army soldiers it seems to be no problem I guess so let’s start a farm H it’s important to prevent starvation I looked around and saw no problems so I placed Farm blocks on the vacant land that I had decided to turn into farmland and PLO it with my Hoe if I do this we can harvest the crops in a week or so without me sewing the seeds it’s a cheating production capacity what should I plant H I want something that’s easy to eat and keeps well I’m thinking too H too is a potato with a Tara likee texture Produced in the village of the elves they can be stored for a long time if they are kept in a cool dark place with the soil still on them or they can be washed and boiled with salt after planting the Taro my work was complete The sun is still high in the sky there’s nothing left to do I think you’ve worked hard enough kuk it’s important to take a break is that so okay then after Isa said so I went back to my assigned accommodation and spent some quality time with Isa I couldn’t Afford such a situation so we just messed around together and did some light skinship a why don’t we participate in meetings or plan strategies that kind of thing is the domain of danan and silie even if it’s just the maintenance and management of The Liberation Army the provision of Weapons and the case of the 5,000 people who were blown up my War record is a bit of a mess I don’t want to overreach too much I don’t want to be too overbearing I don’t want it to turn out that way of course if someone asks me For advice I’ll give it but I’m an amateur at Warfare I can suggest a few tricks using my abilities but I don’t want to depend on them all the time I’m sure that silie and danan don’t plan on relying on me to carry on with the war either however the aerial bombardment by Harpy is very effective so there’s no way we can avoid using it it’s the best Advantage we have kuk do you want to make dinner H I think I’ll make curry today I like Curry I don’t want to work today anymore the corpse was so gruesome After all the next day we left 100 crossbowmen at the Fort five of the Mage Corp and work as the commander and set off for the Fort to the West at this point the landscape around us began to resemble a plane rather than a Wilderness it wasn’t very deep but we Could see some forests in the distance and we felt that we had crossed the greater mid Wilderness now the first fought on the border of the territory we occupied is or should I call it Alpha Fort we are now moving Westward along the well-developed road that stretches West from alpha Fort there are planes all around and it’s really peaceful of course it would be a disaster if the holy Kingdom’s Army were to launch a field battle on such a plane so we are doing our reconnaissance closely the main force is crossbow troops so when The cavalry charge in we can’t even imagine if we can find the enemy beforehand I can quickly set up a field position and we’ll be fine while I was thinking about this Dan’s Communicator received a transmission it seems to have come from Harpy’s reconnaissance unit which was scouting the direction of our Movement there’s a convoy of escorted wagons in your direction they are heading your way is it the Holy Kingdom Army no I don’t think so they probably Merchants the destination is the fort is it not perhaps since there is only the fort ahead all right follow them without being detected copy that communication Is cut off what do we do now shall we attack we’re not Bandits we are not in need of supplies either but if they’re heading for the fort with supplies then there are Merchants who are helping the holy Kingdom’s Army to replenish their supplies why would Merchants be Supplying them that’s the job of the transportation core I wonder if the reason is that the transportation Corp which is responsible for the supply of this area at the temporary Fort was blown away by kosok it’s only a prediction danan silie and melty begin to discuss the respon want danan voted To attack silie voted not to attack and I don’t know what melty thinks it depends on the Merchant’s attitude but I think they’re probably the most powerful merchants in the neighboring towns so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being friendly with them don’t just attack them without question it would be A good idea to talk to them melty seems to have voted not to attack I feel like we should do something depending on the attitude of the other party so are we going to let them go in the end our movement will be immediately known to the holy Kingdom’s Army think about the Post-occupation governance if the local Merchants have a grudge against us it could greatly impact our governance don’t tell me you’re planning to kill all the Holy Kingdom people in the marinad Kingdom territory I wouldn’t say that but danan I agree with melty it’s out of the question to be underestimated But you don’t want to be overly resentful if your highness is so inclined the merchant is wise in his own interest if you play your cards right they may not be on your side but they can be your business partners apparently melty had an idea that kind of Negotiation seems to be suitable for melty then leave the negotiations to melty yes leave it to me then I will do my best to make sure that the Convoy is captured I’ll need kok’s help sure danan seemed to be planning to surround the Convoy At Once by laying down the Soldiers on either side of the road if they lay down on the planes they can blend in with the grass and be invisible even in daylight I along with sfie melty and a few other elite soldiers will meet the Convoy on the road and set up brick Blocks to keep them from rushing in since I can stop giza’s Rush with it two there’s no way it can’t stop a carriage after a while we could see a cloud of dust ahead of us it seemed that a convoy of carriages was in sight I think They’ll probably stop but stay alert set up a block as soon as you see it ramming into us heo I stood right next to sfie who was standing with her arms crossed and greeted The Carriage Convoy they seem to be Ware of our appearance and gradually slowed down to a stop keeping A distance from us then a man who looked like a merchant got out of the carriage along with armed men who looked like guards we’re from the Pence Trading Company from the city of Moline as for you who are blocking the road the merchant seems to have realized that Sfie is an elf and that the elite soldiers around her are not human but subhuman his expression became overtly Stern my name is silfi would it be easier for the merchant Dono to understand if I said I was a witch of the black forest when sfie raised her Arms about 400 soldiers who had been lying low on either side of the road appeared since everyone is armed with a weapon it must be quite intimidating if I were in that Merchant position I’d be scared hi why the witch I have no intention of killing you unless you pull out your Weapon and resist what are you going to do silie showed up with a very thin smile on her face oh when she does that the merchant gets into serious trouble and the guards are pale as well some people have already dropped their weapons and raised their hands in Surrender well it’s nothing more than a suicide attempt to resist this difference in strength there were five wagons and about 10 guards on the other hand we have 400 fully armed men they no match for us that’s wise silie nodded in satisfaction and gave melty a look melty Nodded and stepped forward my name is melty I am the one who is in charge of the distribution of supplies under silfield s we are not Bandits who steal cargo and commit Abominations you’re from the Pence Trading Company right we want to make a deal with your company a fair deal I Think melty smiled I can’t see her face from where I’m standing yeah so I can only guess I’m sure she smiled but for some reason the merchant blew Bubbles and fainted which is strange while the merchant fainted the wagon was pulled to the side of the road by The Liberation army soldiers and The cargo was inspected the cargo consisted of food stuffs salt a few luxury items weapons and arrows there didn’t seem to be any special Goods kukan you have jewelry and honey wine in stock right yes I have them can you give me some I’ll make a deal with him as Soon as he wakes up at your service melty gave me a strange look as I politely replied but she seemed to have decided not to worry about it melty is very enthusiastic perhaps because it is the first time in a long time that she has had a proper external negotiation I’m sorry to hear about the fainting Merchant but let’s encourage him with some honey wine today yeah I swore to myself as I looked at melty who was filled with an aura of motivation not an aura of killing that was hard to describe chapter 68 let’s get along intimidation we are not Bandits We Are The Liberation Army working to liberate all the people controlled and oppressed by the Holy Kingdom therefore we will not kill you who are not soldiers of the Holy Kingdom and we will not unilaterally take your cargo I hope you understand that first melty smilingly explains our position to The leader of the Pence Trading Company the fat old man who just fainted the three people at the negotiating table are the fat man melty and Anan since sfie is a royal family member it would be problematic for her to sit in on these negotiations with a single Merchant therefore she should be Watching the situation from a distance me actually I’m sitting at the negotiation table too I’m just a normal human in appearance so I was placed in this seat after removing the slave collar in the hope that I might be able to relieve the tension of the other Party even if only a little you um but this cargo we’re carrying is for supplies to the Fort ahead yes I understand it’s a fort on the territory border right we already occupy it so the cargo won’t have any place to go anyway what you can’t believe it the fact that We’re in this POS position is more than enough proof the fact that we’re in this position proves it if the Holy Kingdom Army in the fort is still alive and well there is no way we can relax in a place like this right and that’s what melty is Saying you have to see it with your own eyes to be convinced yes I understand that you don’t have to worry about it because it will be taken care of but for now it’s your load H her the Merchant’s uncle has become so confused that he’s almost Turning into a Talking Machine well of course if I were in his shoes i’ do the same I mean danan is sitting in front of him a very strong and Stern man and 400 soldiers surround him it would be impossible to maintain a normal state of Mind at least if I were in the old man’s position I couldn’t unfortunately we don’t have a lot of money in circulation under the rule of the Holy Kingdom so we would like to pay you with this with that said melty placed a small cloth bag On the desk opened her mouth and spread its content out on the table there was a hard clinking sound these are precious gems Polished by the elves of the Black Forest what do you think T this is can I hold it with my hand yes feel free the Merchant took out a handkerchief likee cloth from his pocket picked up one of the large red gems and began to look at it closely the polished gem was made by an Elven Jeweler the payment was a raw gem everyone was happy to polish the gems yes isn’t it nice yes of course it Is a fine item then the two began to exchange arguments the Merchant’s Uncle seemed to recover his Pace as he negotiated this is the total price that’s too cheap that’s not enough that’s way too cheap it’s an Elven item you know give us more the gem is indeed Of good quality and Artistry but there is no proof that it is an Elven product this is about right that would be the same for all gems there should be no doubt about about where we come from right if so the origin of this item is obvious that’s about it I don’t think You should be too greedy that is the final decision ah I understand in the end melty seemed to have pushed through I wondered if eight polished elf gems for five carts worth of supplies was a fair price or not I have no idea where should we take this stuff right we’re Heading to the fort on the western territory border yes you’ll have to carry it there you’ll have to accompany us a the fair will be charged melty adds one more gem to the Frozen expression of the Merchant’s uncle’s hand you can get a gem just for carrying it that’s a Great deal we’re headed to a battlefield though oh oh I see so you guys already have the West Fort under control huh the Merchant’s Uncle smiled Riley as he said this though he looked pale no we’re going to conquer it now you are how about us you’ll follow us okay melty Smiles it’s scary I feel a strong will to kill if you refuse here ah the Merchant’s uncle’s face was beyond pale and turned gray and he glanced at his colleagues and guards who all wore despairing Expressions that’s right that’s what I would do if I were in their shoes don’t Worry I’ll make sure you guys don’t get caught up in the fighting she said with a smile but I think that for them standing on the battlefield with us would be fatal in itself if the holy kingdoms Army saw them that would be a problem in itself and if they saw them Bringing in supplies after we had conquered the fort that would be completely out of the question there’s an excellent chance they’ll take it as an act of self-interest you’re Pence Trading Company aren’t you we’re counting on you let’s be happy together with us and then melty gave a most Exquisite smile to them so what’s it all about I think it means that they’re all in this together and we can’t let them get away with it h so that’s it after the negotiations we started marching again and after gaining some distance we decided to set up camp we set up camp in The grasslands beside the road and now it was time for dinner today’s meal was barley porridge made with vegetables brought by the merchants we had met during the day and gizmer meat that I had sneaked out so that they wouldn’t find it they also brought a large amount Of salt so there was plenty of salt in it it was quite delicious the merchant and his guards are eating the same thing but the mood over there is like a funeral I can understand why yeah melty will be serving drinks later so they can drink today and forget about the pain I Think she’s trying to use Pence Trading Company as a foothold to advertise our power H and maybe she’s trying to use Pence Trading Company as a springboard Merchants have a lot of connections and a good ear don’t they melty is probably aiming for Pence Trading Company connections and Information Network the One who was negotiating with melty today was a mid-level manager at the Pence trading company’s Molen branch in the city of Molen in other words he was a section chief a subsection chief or a lead manager on site so melty is trying to use him as a foothold to get into the Pence Trading Company what is the size of the Pence Trading Company I don’t know but I don’t think a merchant company that delivers Goods to the military is a weak small business that’s true normally the most powerful local Merchant Association would be used silie nodded to iser’s opinion I see well it’s True that when they have branches across the city it’s a sure sign that it’s a big company even in Japan a store with branches in several cities has its own power and I suppose it’s not that different even if the world is different well if we leave it to melty she’ll do Fine is that what you want silie she’s the right person for the right job kuk I can do some things but I don’t think I can compete with melty in that department H it’s best to let her do what needs to be done that’s true I Decided not to think too much about this matter if I poked around in the bushes a snake might come out and that snake is not a poisonous snake but a giant snake that could swallow me whole yeah let’s not get involved knock on wood knock onw Star t n it’s the English phrase knock onw to prevent bad luck after meeting Miguel and the others from Pence Trading Company on the first day we had no trouble getting to the West Fort we made the first one as Alpha Fort so we’ll make this one as beta Fort we arrived at Bea Fort the closer we got to Bea Fort the more pale Miguel and the others became but when we got within Striking Distance their complexions returned to normal their expressions seemed to be calm I wondered if they had reached Enlightenment or had they regained their composure maybe they’ve gotten used to Working with us for 3 days so this time we’re not fighting at night we’re going in head-on we’ll have to show them what we are capable of I muttered to myself as I watched the crossbow soldiers engaging the enemy on the defensive wall of beta fort in front of me and melty Who was also watching the battle answered in a calm voice incidentally beside him the mid-level manager of the Pence Trading Company turned pale and trembled like a puppy approximately 200 soldiers are guarding beta fort in contrast we have a force of about 400 suppose the difference in strength Is twice as large in that case it is usually more advantageous for those who defend themselves by staying in the fort it’s one-sided that’s right there was a very strong wind that kept blowing behind us because of this wind the enemy’s arrows can’t reach us and the Bolts from our crossbows are flying Fast and Furious the hit rate seems to be dropping though is this also Spirit magic that’s right isn’t it pretty good silie looked proud of it the spirit magic of silie causes this huge wind that is blowing behind us it seems that The spiritual power of the wind is strong in this area of the Plains and silie says that it can keep blowing like this all day long Spirit magic is impressive they are hiding well if the attack can’t reach them then so be it if I were to be shot at from out of range even I would stop fighting back and concentrate on defense but that’s a bad idea the harpies flew out from behind the left side of our formation soaring into the sky at great speed under the influence of silus big wind then they Dropped the bomb there was a loud noise as if lightning had struck and the walls and Gates of the castle were half destroyed their aim was a little off wasn’t it it’s probably because of the wind look the second bomb is falling wow my God the first blast confirmed the Location of the impact and the second blast compensated for it destroying the gate completely aside from the uncle who is positioned at the right rear of the camp how do the people of the Pence Trading Company feel as they watch this battle or rather one-sided overrun the holy kingdoms Army without mags is Fragile Mage troops are the tiger cub of the Holy kingdoms Army after all it’s unlikely that they are deployed in the rear territories How can there be none at all H if there are any it is either in the capital or in the Northeast near the mainland of the Holy Kingdom I’ve Heard of the Holy kingdoms Mage core from time to time but are they that strong to be honest I’ve never seen their magic itself so even if someone told me about the tiger cubs Mage core I wouldn’t have much of an idea I’ve heard that the strength of each Mage in the Holy Kingdom is not great but I heard that there is a powerful magic called chorus magic in which multiple people chant the same magic which is troublesome H yes the magic power of each of them is less than a third of mine I can take on up to five of them I See but if 10 people use chorus magic my magic barrier will be broken and I will be defeated the other side’s magic barriers will block my attacks and I won’t be able to defeat them in other words the more people there are the more vicious they become H the more this Increases to 50 100 200 the more powerful it becomes and they will launch a series of wide- ranging destruction magic from within their powerful magic barriers so it’s like a moving Fortress right a moving Fortress let’s see which one is stronger than my ability if they are a moving Fortress then I am also a moving Fortress my defensive abilities are probably Second To None while we were talking about this the war situation was tilting more and more in our favor our Elite troops rushed into beta Fort whose defensive capabilities had been temporarily paralyzed by the bombing of Its walls and Gates few arrows were fired to intercept them and the beta Fort allowed 200 Elite troops to enter the enemy had just been beaten to a pulp in a one-sided Battle of arrows and then bombed for a while the sound of metal clashing against metal shouting and Screaming continued to Echo eventually it ended and a Battle Cry was raised the flag of the marinad kingdom was raised above the defensive wall as the gates had been completely destroyed another Victory huh H welld deserved silie muttered with deep emotion and Isla nodded with a natural look at the same Time I was feeling indescribable able a lot of people died again today because of the weapons and bombs I made silie and the others seem to be proud of me but as a person who had been educated to respect peace as a matter of course in Japan I had some thoughts however living And dying is a fact of life on the battlefield these days I try to think that the Liberation Army soldiers did not die because of the weapons I made I’m sorry for the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom though once the cleanup is done we’ll go inside prepare yourself kosok Yes because I might go hook again right I understand the uncle of the trading company do your best and stop trembling to okay chapter 69 a clean up funeral and rest ho Uncle that’s disgusting please spare me hoek the inside of the beta Fort was still or should I say very Splattered human parts are splattered here and there and the smell of Blood and Guts fills the air I think only people who are used to rough stuff like this would be able to handle the smell in other words it’s a hard scene for me and the merchants as Ordinary People Even the guards look pale I’m sorry if this was a little harsh but no one wants to be like that right melty Smiles at the Merchant’s Uncle as she says this the scene on her back is incredibly horrifying it is a violent horror colored with blood violence and smiles She’s totally trying to scare him right don’t worry the enemy we should defeat is the Holy Kingdom and its Army not merchants and civilians like you why yes of course if you continue to support the holy Kingdom’s Army to the fullest extent civilians may not be limited to That hi I turned away from melty who was like a cat shaking a captured rat and immersed myself in cleaning and maintenance work in the fort unfortunately there was nothing I could do about it though it would make a hole in the Merchant’s stomach there’s nothing I can do good luck Uncle this Time the damage inside the fort seemed to be worse than last time I guess it’s because the aerial bombardment was Swept Away by the Strong Winds of spirit magic and fell inside the fort either way though it won’t make much difference since we’ll be clearing the land and I’ll be rebuilding the Structures as I walked around dismantling the half-destroyed structure I saw bodies draped with cloth and Liberation Army soldiers gathered around them what happened their War casualties some Knights were quite skilled we lost three people the quality of the soldiers in the Liberation Army which is made up of subhuman soldiers With Superior physical abilities is higher than that of the soldiers in the Holy Kingdom Army which is basically made up of ordinary humans in particular the difference is more pronounced in hand-to-hand combat however in the Holy kingdoms army or rather among humans some possess more magic power than Normal humans it’s not as if they can use magic as a mage but those who have a lot of magic power unconsciously use it to strengthen their physical abilities and they can sometimes display combat abilities that exceed those of ordinary subhumans and in the army of the Holy Kingdom those who have been blessed by the gods are taken up as holy Knights and Saints this time it seems there was a man who survived the bombing and he killed three Liberation Army soldiers if it weren’t for zamis arm we would have been struck even harder but if it were Up to zami she would have killed him instantly it is said that the Holy Knight or Saint was killed by Mami in two strikes she used flowing movements to block the attack and then thrust the mithal Jumanji spear mea into the face Miz me is amazing so the holy kingdoms Army was shaken up by the fact that their most skilled Soldier had been killed and The Liberation Army pushed in and overran them unilaterally after that our army is overwhelming isn’t it yes so far we’ve been able to create a favorable situation for ourselves and draw the enemy into it well yes there Are no factors to lose at the moment especially the harpies they are the key to our success it’s great that the harpies eyes can detect the enemy’s information ahead of time and they can exchange information with the Golem communicator and the power of their aerial bombardment is vicious if it Weren’t for the harpies it wouldn’t be so easy it’s just a matter of how far we can go before the harpies take action it’s not that easy to deal with is it h it should be but I don’t know there are geniuses among humans too that’s true Too there is no possibility that a revolutionary countermeasure against the harpies will suddenly be devised we can’t be too careless when I think about it after delivering the supplies for the wagons to Fort beter the merchants were released they left Fort beer as if they were running away since melty had Threatened them so much I’m sure they’ll be very vocal about how dangerous it is to antagonize our Liberation Army as for the Holy Kingdom Army prisoners after treating them and disarming them we decided to release them with a minimum of water and food at the same time they Were given a letter of notification from The Liberation Army I didn’t have a chance to look at the contents in detail but it’s a recommendation to the holy Kingdom’s Army to leave the country in other words it’s almost like a declaration of war it’s said that the holy Kingdom’s Army should leave the Marinad kingdom and free the marinad people it’s the same kind of thing as the sign we put up in front of the temporary Fort will it be all right won’t the holy kingdoms Army come pouring in at once danan shook his head as if to dismiss my concern I don’t Think they can afford that if the fortress on the border of the other territory is dropped the L es incurred for the holy Kingdom’s Army will exceed 7,000 this is probably close to half of the Holy Kingdom troops stationed in the marinad Kingdom the only thing they can Do is to send a request for support to the Home Country and then fortify their defenses so we can expand our territory as much as we want there are limits though it’s time for your 2our reminder if you’ve been sitting consider taking a moment to stand up stretch use the Restroom or have a refreshing drink of water your body will thank you now back to the story if we take a city we’ll have to devote troops to maintain it our numbers are small after all I see that will be the problem in the end in order to Maintain the Fortress and the City soldiers must be devoted to the maintenance of the city we can’t just get rid of the Holy Kingdom Army and be satisfied afterward among the city residents there would be in enthusiastic supporters of the Holy Kingdom and the Adel religion as well as the families of The soldiers these people are potential anti marinad and anti- Liberation forces so we have to be prepared to deal with them if they get violent we also need to increase the number of supporters it’s going to be a tough job I’d like to think that the original marinad citizens would be supportive Though 20 years have already passed since the country was made a vassel state many people have already left this world and of course some have been born in the marinad king om which belongs to the Holy Kingdom 20 years is a long time there might be some people who would Accuse sfie saying that the daughter of a royal family was doing nothing and just hiding in the black forest in reality sfie probably wasn’t hiding in the black forest for so long and she was probably just a child 20 years ago so I don’t think she deserves the blame but I Don’t know if the people who have been oppressed for 20 years would feel the same way I do anyway the control of beta Fort is over and the process after this is the same as that of Alpha Fort collect the corpses incinerate them and repair the fort so that it can be used The only difference was that there was a funeral for the deceased soldiers of The Liberation Army is this the funeral of the marinad Kingdom it’s more like a warrior funeral on the battlefield my question was answered by silie how can I describe their funeral well I guess it’s cremation Unlike the incineration of the corpses of the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom the body is placed on a kind of bed made of straw and logs and offerings of wine food flowers weapons and a small amount of money and after praying for the Repose of the soul the offerings are Burned it is said that the Dead who are sent in this way will reach omel and begin a new life there Isla said pointing to a giant planet in the sky it’s an earth shaped planet that takes up about 30% of the sky so that planet Is the afterlife for the people of this world ham as she looked at the Blazing flames and Rising smoke Isla nodded the harpy sang a funeral song The lamia played an improvised drum the Beast men clapped their hands and played body percussion to create a unique Rhythm I Was overwhelmed by the scene it looked very primitive but it was very overwhelming it even felt solemn I felt something that appealed to my instincts it was something completely different from just wearing morning clothes and listening to scripture that I couldn’t understand the fire eventually died out And only ashes remained the weapons and the bones of the corpse that had been offered along with the fire were also buried in the ashes and there was not a shadow of them to be seen H can iron weapons and Bones be reduced to ashes by The Flames of a bonfire I wonder if this ritual might have really sent them to omal that planet in the sky what do you do when the funeral is over banquet we eat and drink and mourn for the dead well that’s not so different from my Place is that so yeah I guess the customs of similar people or even races don’t change that much in a different world yes there are some idioms with similar meaning H interesting while talking about this we entered the banquet we’re having a special all you can eat steak dinner Today there will be alcohol and there’s still plenty of gizar meat left to use the day after the fort was conquered and the funeral was held it was decided that we would take the day off to rest this was decided because they were probably tired from the March and the attack on The fort some of the Liberation Army soldiers are still training are you guys okay you just walked around and shot a few crossbows so you’re okay I hope so there are less than half a dozen Liberation Army soldiers who seem to be training no that’s a lot huh not even Half of them but more than 30% of them are training right seriously as for me well whatever here kukan an an yeah delicious an yeah yeah here um delicious and me too danis an I want to feed you two and like this I’m spending time with Isler and the harpies Don’t you think it’s a very worthwhile rest I think it’s the best I can feel my heart being healed after watching the battle silie unfortunately is in a meeting with danan and melty she’s working hard and when she comes back I’m going to spoil her to the fullest Just The Two of Us I’ve already talked about this with Isler and the harpies and that’s why we’re doing this while we can it’s so fun to be flirted with by everyone I don’t even care about my old world anymore I wonder what it’s really like I wonder how I’m being treated in The original world did I actually die suddenly or have I mysteriously disappeared or am I supposed to have never existed in the first place if I had to pick one I’d say the third state is the most preferable that way no one will be sad I Don’t have any siblings or parents but I do have a few close friends if I were to be treated as dead or missing I might have caused them some trouble that’s my only regret kuk H what is it you look kind of sad what’s wrong do I look sad I Was thinking about the world back home Isler and the Harpy’s Expressions clouded over at my words do you want to go back no I don’t really think so everyone is always with me and I never feel lonely if anything sfie was always there for me kukan e he we take care of You so much that you won’t even have time to be lonely that’s right we’re a family now don’t be shy to ask for attention danisan Isler and the harpies clung to me tightly and stroked me with their wings H I think I’d be good for nothing if I were pampered like this but It’s a man’s nature to lose himself in a woman isn’t it I’ll be careful not to do that though ah one of the harpies raised her voice and turned her gaze towards the door there was silie with a tearful face and long ears pointed up she was Sad because she felt like she was left out we all had a very very hard time comforting her kosk is mine you know I stroked her head as she hugged me tears streaming down her face H I know we’re just sharing a little you’re right we All know that ah after a while she came to her senses and wrapped herself in a blanket in the corner of the room and turned into a caterpillar in embarrassment I’ll mention again that I had a hard time comforting her you’re pretty sfie your highness you are so Lovely stop it Fufu don’t tease her too much or she’ll turn into a caterpillar again I agree with you all but don’t do it again she will really turn into a caterpillar again Chapter 70 is securing the bridge head after a day of rest we decided to leave Fort beter leaving a Defensive Force there as well gerder stayed behind to help organize it I’ll call you if anything happens so please be there to help yes I’ll leave this to you take care we left 100 crossbowmen 20 heavy infantry half of which were heavy infantry and five from the hary Air Force at Fort beta and we headed for Fort Alpha with this our strength in the main force is now about 380 strong there were some casualties in the last battle so the number was a little less we still need more men that’s the problem we can only hope that time will solve this Problem in order to control and maintain the base it is necessary to have more troops no matter how overwhelming the power to defeat the holy Kingdom’s Army and drive them out of their Forts and towns it will not matter much if there are not enough people to control the Forts and stare down the surrounding areas effectively we’ve got our hands full just occupying the forts currently as for the ability to maintain Security in the surrounding areas we have captured a good number of war horses in the past battles we’re going to put together a patrol unit to help maintain Security there was no mention of Cavalry well I heard that Cavalry takes a a long time to train considering our current situation the best we can do is simply use the horses as our legs and Dismount to fight when the time comes we don’t have the luxury of raising Cavalry now Especially in terms of time there should be no shortage of fodder for the horses though we can grow as many crops and grass as we want as we discussed what we would do after taking over the three forts on the territory border we headed for Fort Alpha at the moment we had two Main plans the first was to continue to conquer the surround ing Forts and expand our control area as much as possible the Merit of this policy is that by recovering the territory of the marinad Kingdom we will be able to increase our influence with the people of the former marinad Kingdom and gain The fields roads and cities that have already been developed the downside is that there will be a strong backlash from the new marinad citizens who were born outside and moved into the marinad kingdom after it was turned into a dependency as for me I don’t want to Take a policy of oppressing the new marinad citizens that’s true but but that would not satisfy the old marinad citizens I suppose so that’s what I think to we will restore the old territory and free the old marinad citizens and make those who made their Fortune by treating subhumans like Slaves pay a reasonable price I think it’s a necessary process it’s been 20 years if we do it right most of the new marinad citizens will go bankrupt many of them will fall into slavery because their private property will be confiscated can you run a healthy nation In such a State I don’t think so obviously not we’ll just have to find the right balance in other words you’re throwing the whole thing at me aren’t you I understand dank’s face Twitches as melty Smiles at him it’s hard for an ex- Knight with 100 years of experience in The field to maintain a level head in the face of melta dark smile the other plan seems more realistic although it will put a strain on kosok well if you want me to do it I will the other plan is to maintain the three4 esses on the territories border keep the surrounding Towns and mines under control and aim to expand the power of the former marinad citizens by gathering them at the same time we will open up a new land by cultivating the great Amit Wilderness this is a solid move anyway in fact even if we were to expand our Power to the Limit we wouldn’t have enough troops to control it would we that’s true there will still be people who want to regain power in the main base and Frontline bases and join The Liberation Army but there should only be three 00 more at Best in addition to Maintaining security it would be difficult to expand our forces any further if we wanted to have enough troops to deal with the Holy Kingdom’s Army it’s important to decide on the final Landing Point although it is still the ultimate goal to reclaim all of the marinad Kingdom territories even though She said this silie looked as if she was having difficulty in fact reclaiming a territory that has been effectively controlled for 20 years is no small feat the reason why the Holy Kingdom was able to do it was because their country had such a large population although we are Winning well we are only a weak force of fewer than 1,500 people in the end we’ll run into the problem of not having enough people it can’t be helped you know it’s not only silie but also danan and melty smiled bitterly it’s a weak point for us we have to try to expand Our power based on the three forts on the territory border for a while all of us nodded at silus words but first we have to take down the third Fort after Alpha and beta I guess gamma is next I wonder what will happen to the battle For gamma after taking 3 days to reach Fort Alpha we took another day off to rest and started moving toward Fort gamma the Army consisted of 20 heavy infantry led by danan 59 light infantry 100 crossbowman 98 Rangers including shammer five Riflemen including Jaga five Harpy Air Force Five mags including Isa three civil officers including melty and myself sfie and Mami the number of light infantry and and Rangers have been reduced because of the casualties from the previous battle we want to fight with as few casualties as possible I’m a little worried that Harpy support will Be thin I think we’ll be fine we’ve deployed five Harpy Air Force members in each of the alpha and beta forts so we only have perner and five others as our direct cover if the alpha and beta forts are attacked the harpies can fly over The distance of 3 days on foot in about 2 hours and if they can withstand the attack for 2 hours five reinforcements can be flown in with the bombing support of 10 Air Forces they should be able to repel the attack unless the enemy numbers are more than 10,000 we’ve also Deployed a considerable amount of aerial bombs to both Alpha and beta forts if they lose and are captured we’ll be in trouble but I’ve heard that beastman soldiers can normally use large grenades of that weight if the need arises they can be thrown from the top of the fort’s Defensive wall so they should be fine we have not only crossbows but also regular grenades so I don’t think we’ll lose much we walked for 3 days this time we didn’t run into anyone on the way and reached Fort gamma smoothly well it’s the greater mid Wilderness ahead and According to the prisoners no one has come near this area since gizmer big attack I guess it’s no surprise what kind of strategy are we going to use this time for now we’ll start with a f fight as usual we’ll attack them unilaterally to reduce their numbers There’s no need to take any risks right H that’s right we arrived at Fort gamma while the sun was still high in the sky quickly established a position and entered the firing battle again it’s a one-sided situation as sfie is using Spirit magic kuk this time we’re going To fight to Jaga holding a bolt action rifle with a quadruple scope appears in front of me with four of her subordinates we’ve been saving them for the Battle of Alpha and beta forts if I don’t let them fight here they’ll be dissatisfied yeah let’s do that aim for The ones that look like commanders and the ones that look like Junior officers giving orders to the others under understood our second primary unit The Rifleman scattered around the fort then thunderous gunfire began to Echo from everywhere at the same time enemy soldiers began to bleed on the walls Under Riflemen supposed to operate in close groups we not putting up a barrage so there’s no point in being too close together in fact it is better to disperse and take the line of fire from various positions than to concentrate allog together this is even better than A bow because it can attack from a much greater distance unlike the crossbow which is an extension of the bow at a glance it is difficult to understand what a bolt action rifle is actually doing when you see it firing the first time they see it they won’t be able to Relate the guns firing to the death and injury caused by it I’m sure the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom who are being shot it will be confused as to what’s going on how many enemy soldiers are there I heard less than 300 H I wonder if they’ll surrender it’s Impossible to defeat all 300 of them in a five fight alone there’s nothing we can do if they hold up in the for Fort So eventually we have to get into the fort and finish them off with hand-to-hand combat they’re shutting themselves inside we can’t do anything About it it’s natural to think that we don’t have any Siege weapons at first glance and if we can’t win in a f fight it’s common sense to Siege and if that’s the case we know what we’re going to do it’s a bit of a pattern but the harpies Are going to start aerial bombardment there were only five of them this time so they would have to go out again and again bombing is so fun this is it no you guys it’s not fun to make mince meat out of a few to a dozen people with one Of those bombs no I guess it’s okay I’m sure it’s much better than being negative like me they’re settling a long-standing grudge leave them alone H in the Holy Kingdom the more different they look from humans the more harshly they oppress them harp lamia and lizard men Are among the most severe even the oneeyed race like me had a pretty bad time I I see Revenge I’m not going to say that revenge is vain or useless sure there’s nothing left behind but at least it clears your mind and makes you feel better I think it’s important to feel Refreshed yes but I don’t think it’s right to enjoy killing people it’s dangerous to find pleasure in killing an unspecified number of revengeful people from the Holy Kingdom Revenge has to end somewhere I guess there wouldn’t be such a problem if you knew exactly who you were getting revenge on it’s complicated I’ve never been in a situation where I wanted to kill someone and maybe my idea is just a beautiful fantasy you’re making a difficult face I’ve been thinking a lot about it um but don’t think about it too much right now it’s dangerous I know we’re in the middle of A battle after all the commander of Fort gamma who had been heavily bombarded by the harpy offered to surrender before our infantry could move in this is a development we’ve never seen before I guess that’s because he didn’t die in the bombing oh the bombs have killed Commanders before maybe so if the person who can decide to surrender is dying in the bombing then they can’t surrender and has to fight maybe because there were only five harpies in the air this time there was not enough Firepower the surrendered soldiers of the Holy Kingdom Army are currently being disarmed the Mage core is also inside treating the seriously wounded there are no casualties on our side a few people were injured by arrows that broke through the Strong Winds of spirit magic but all of them were lightly wounded the en Commander was lucky that he wasn’t in Command on the defensive wall if he had been The Rifleman would have killed him the results of the rifleman’s battle were spectacular in the short time they made the enemy Retreat into the fort they had defeated less than 50 soldiers at the Holy Kingdom army they are indeed Impressive it was over before we shot the second clip we didn’t shoot enough at all they were not happy no the five of them did less than 10 rounds of fire and inflicted almost 50 casualties what kind of hit rate is that that’s almost one shot one kill if they were placed in The right defensive positions five of them could finish off more than 100 opponents couldn’t they looks like you’re done disarming let’s see what the enemy commander looks like shall we I don’t really want to meet him just because I am a human who works with sfie and the Others they might say something about me from my perspective it was them who were doing subhuman suppression with their human Supremacy policy when we entered the fort the situation was better than the previous two fors at least there were no blown-off limbs or pieces of Flesh scattered everywhere in sight there were some Blood stains here and there though your highness the commander of this fort is in here I see then kosok shouldn’t see him we were about to enter the building where the commander was supposed to be when Isla stopped me kosok is different from the rest of our group he may be the Key to our ability to use weapons and tactics that we have never used before I see that’s true too h from a security point of view it’s best to keep kok’s presence unknown to the holy Kingdom’s military Isla’s opinion was right and I was assigned the task of Looting or rather managing the supplies in the warehouse without meeting the enemy Commander once the supplies in the warehouse are put into my inventory I can list them I can make a list just by counting the number of items I have in my inventory if I rearrange the things In the warehouse I can organize the warehouse and check the contents of my inventory it can kill three birds with one stone it’s really useful that ability although I don’t envy you this ability has made melty take notice of me and sometimes puts me to a great deal of Work as melty was present at the meeting with the commander the two civil servants who accompanied her to the Fort were in charge of organizing and listing the warehouse there are also a few civil servants left at Alpha and beta forts which are managing the daily supplies this fort has a lot of Supplies it may be that this fort has just received supplies Eric Berg is nearby so they must be getting supplies from there is there a town called Eric Burg yes it is a major transportation point for this whole area the roads to the neighboring Villages and towns are Concentrated there well then I guess our immediate goal is to conquer this town that’s right if we want to use a road that is suitable for moving a large army we have no choice but to go through Eric Burke I listened to them talk about the geography of the area and the area Specialties and went about organizing the warehouse it was a bit amusing to see melty who had returned after the meeting give a shocked look to the two civil servants girls who had somehow got along with me chapter 71 a logging work in the name of reconnaissance having Taken control of the three Forts and secured a bridge head to strengthen our influence over the marinad kingdom we decided to concentrate on gaining a foothold to tell the truth danan wanted to go as far as securing Eric Berg but no matter what he thought we didn’t have Enough troops to maintain control over the city of ericb and its surroundings I guess we can only think of it as good fortune for now that we were able to secure a fort on the territory border it’s a Pity it’s nothing to be pessimistic about you know the fact that We have seized these three fors also means that we have completely secured control of the great amid Wilderness the rest is up to you kosok up to me that means I’ll have to make full use of my abilities to create an environment where people can live in the barren Wilderness Right it’s really a painstaking job for the time being I think we should proceed with the fortification of the three forts on theable territory border yes but we should also proceed with the development of new settlements there’s still too much room for more fors isn’t there as soon as word spreads throughout The marinad kingdom that we have taken down the fort at the territory’s border the number of people will increase if we don’t have enough when the time comes it’s no longer worth talking about with kok’s ability the establishment of the settlement will be finished in an Instant it should be enough time to set up the settlement the first priority is to fortify the forts in order to fully protect the the settlement no matter how many settlements we build if the fort is overtaken it will just be destroyed danan and melty were exchanging opinions About the future course of action for now they have agreed to maintain the current situation and consolidate our foothold however they are still debating what direction to take to consolidate our foothold if silie were to interfere the plan would be decided so for the time being she seemed to be ready to Stand idly by iser is out of her seat to treat the wounded soldiers of the the Holy Kingdom Army regardless of which plan is adopted by melty or danan I’m destined to be used I’ll give up on that I’m not going to complain as long as I Get some time to rest where are we going to build a new settlement anyway haven’t you even chosen a location yet no problem at all the search around the main base is in progress we’ve already selected a possible location I’m interested in that too can you tell me About it silie who had been watching the conversation between danan and melty asked I’m curious too yes there are some Rocky Mountains a short distance away from the main base and according to my research it seems that good quality Stone and or can be collected I see so we can expect to produce Materials what else the search has revealed another vein hole a collection of veins in the ground if we can duplicate the warding device to keep out monsters we can increase the number of safe settlements like the main base oh a new vein hole I’m pretty sure that a vein hole is a Kind of power spot that can draw an inexhaustible supply of magic power from the ground to power a magic tool the main base is benefiting from this and Magic tools that are powered by magic power can be used as much as you want it’s definitely a useful thing I see kuk What is the status of your stockpile of materials stone is fine but clay and would are running low whether it’s fortifying forts or developing new settlements I’m a little short on Supply clay can be found in the great amid Wilderness but wood cannot be found There we can’t just ship it in from the Black Forest we need to replenish it shall we cut down the trees in the forest around here that’s right let us go into the forest with a scouting party and cut down some trees while we’re at it the forest is also within sight of Fort gamma so far we’re completely out of the greater mid Wilderness and the vegetation is Lush even after all this time I’m still worried about whether it’s really safe to stay in the greater mid will wildness for a long time this time I’m going to follow Dan’s plan the First thing we need to do is to strengthen the fortifications on the territory border we can’t afford to have the fort taken back by a Counterattack as danan said there is still the main base but the Frontline base is no longer the Frontline well at any rate there is Still room in the Frontline base to receive Personnel securing a settlement will not be an urgent issue your highness I understand what melty is trying to say it is also important to build more settlements but for now we can’t afford to lose and have our for taken away at Any cost since we don’t have many men we want to reduce the risk of losing them very well melty also seemed to be convinced by what silie had to say so let’s move in that direction melty use the Golem communication device to contact the main base and gather Supplies and Personnel to the front danan deploy the personnel and plan the fortifications make sure kuk is ready to proceed with the work as quickly as possible understood as you wish each of them begins to move I have to go out and cut some trees I’ll need Mami to escort Me guog G guog Gago what the hell is that that’s goblins I left Fort gamma with Mami and The Liberation Army soldiers and we spent about an hour and a half scouting the nearby Forest while cutting down trees about an hour and a half later we found ourselves surrounded By Green skinned disgusting life forms so this is the goblin that is vying with the Slime for the nickname of the worst of the worst in the fantasy world I see they have ugly faces that don’t seem to have any intelligence small bodies with green skin deafening voices and some of Them don’t even have loin cloths to cover their crotches hide your shoddy things you bastard don’t just let it sway around like that M me do these creatures even understand what we are saying to them there’s a saying it’s like trying to talk to a goblin what’s That mean it means it doesn’t make any sense I see it’s useless to expect a dialogue well that’s what it looks like I won’t let them touch you kokono so you can rest assured heo I took out my goatsfoot crossbow from my inventory and started shooting at the Goblins as I watched M zi charge into the crowd of goblins with her meteor at the ready it’s powerful enough to smash through gizmer armor it seems that goblins with no armor can’t even stand a chance Oya g go gawa mizi who plunged into the crowd of goblins swung her Silver Cross Spear and chopped off the heads of the Goblins tore their bodies in half and pierced their brains with the blade sometimes she would even use her spear blade to pierce the throats Of the Goblins that were attacking her and she would go on a rampage I guess we’ll Just have to leave Missi alone now I muttered as I shot a bolt into the back of a goblin that turned its back and tried to flee I guess that’s what you call the Lion Share of the action in the end the battle was over in less than 5 Minutes there seemed to be about 30 goblins we were a party of five myself mizi and three light infantrymen so did they think they could get away with it if they surrounded us with six times as many I guess that’s what they thought the result was a literal Annihilation Without being able to escape pathetic weak compared to gizmer they’re just small fries however they’re still a bit clever so we can’t lose our guard I see it’s true that if they get together and beat us up we’ll be in danger it’s not uncommon for a novice Adventurer to be Killed by goblins because they underestimated them and then they get turned into Goblin nurseries I get it I don’t know if goblins in this world are like that or not I don’t even want to hear about it much I stored the goblin corpses in my inventory in case they Could be used for something and continued to cut down the trees the trees around here seem to be a lot thinner than in the Black Forest I guess you could say that their Vitality is different well it’s all the same once you cut them down though it’s a strange Power to see again and again it’s useful so it’s okay it’s best just to accept it and use it without worrying about it that’s true we proceeded through the forest cutting down trees with scone after scone I can’t shave the whole tree so I have to be moderate it’s like Finning a tree I don’t have the expertise so I’m just doing it compared to the greater mid Wilderness this area is safe isn’t it the greater mid Wilderness is just too dangerous the depths of the black Black Forest are even more dangerous is that so come to Think of it I think I’ve only been to the shallow parts of the Black Forest they say there are dragons in the depths that’s scary but I want to see them because dragons are dragons you know for a boy they are just like beetles and stag beetles but dragons asterisk or Dragons is there anything that can be done about dragons with my current equipment would it work if I made some anti-tank grenades a bolt action rifle is not going to help t n he said Ryu at the first one and Doran at the second one I want to get an antimaterial rifle Or at least a heavy machine gun I think if I put a bunch of 50 cal into it I can kill it but how hard are dragon scales are you planning to defeat the dragon you’re sharp there are two reactions to the mention of dragons the first is to Forget about it and not even think of approaching it and the second is to think of what they would do if they met one I didn’t see any fear on kak Don’s face and it looked like you were thinking about something so have you Come up with a way to defeat it no not at the moment however I can think of a few weapons that might work can you hurt a dragon with a mithil weapon I think so then we can kill it an antimaterial rifle might work two if I make the Barrel and the bullets out of mithril and make them strong enough to penetrate the dragon scales it should be possible and since the dragon is a living creature it has its own vital points it’s the brain the Medela oblonga the heart and so on I’m sure we can defeat Them if we hit them there it would be even better if we could plant a delayed fuse and make the Warhead explode inside the body I see if there is ever a time to kill a dragon please let me accompany you I shall rely on you Mami Beed her Fangs and smiled I was scared of her at first but I wasn’t anymore once I got used to her there are quite a few of them you know lizard men no lizard women women is there a farming Village near here looks like it other units should be Heading there it’s a bit far from here the direction is different the forest we entered was to the northeast of Fort gamma and the farming Village was to the Northwest so the distance is definitely far I’m honestly not familiar with this kind of governance how do you do it the basic Idea is to send soldiers on patrol to hunt down monsters and bandits that’s it the rest is tax collection during Harvest time is that all the state gives peace to the people utilizing military force and the people work hard in the peace given by the state that’s all of Course the state takes various measures to ensure that the people live out their lives in good health and the people sometimes petition the state for assistance I see it seems to be out of my hands after all I might be able to lend some wisdom if silie or melty Consulted me I’m sure that kono’s power will be of great help to the people is that so well I’m quite good at civil engineering in you could build waterways and Roads walls to protect Villages warehouses to store crops and enrich thin lands that’s what I’m good at Perhaps it is your mission to continue to make such things for the sake of the world and people without getting involved in bloody wars Mission I don’t think there is such a thing from the comments of the achievements it’s obvious that this is just for amusement I think that person is just Throwing me into this world and watching me with a grin if there is such a thing I don’t give a damn I can’t do anything anything like abandoning silie and the others now your highness is well loved isn’t she of course I don’t want to be Told to leave now I have to take responsibility for what I’ve done to ISA perer and the others I’m not going to listen to what the guy who threw me out without any explanation has to say now is this enough logging for you considering the future it’s still not enough let’s Continue hopefully we’ll have better luck next time like what around here it’s probably a charging bore it’s a monster that can’t can’t do anything but Ram into you but its meat is delicious that’s great I’d love to catch one when it comes out I’ll take it out with one Thrust let’s see how you do it after this we went around cutting down trees until the sun began to set as for the charging B haaha we didn’t catch anything damn it chapter 72 it’s more trouble to have more friends than enemies straight face when we returned To Fort gammer after logging sfie and the others had gathered for another meeting when I tried to walk past them I was grabbed by the shoulder kuk I’d like to hear your opinion yes it seems that silie saw that I was trying to go past her I failed in my attempt and was Dragged along unceremoniously The Liberation Army soldier and Mami who had accompanied me sent me off with a smile do not think you have beat me what’s the matter with you all you look so difficult at Fort Alpha refugees no volunteer soldiers have gathered it’s not like there from The Holy Kingdom is it then you wouldn’t have said they were refugees in the first place yes mostly Beast men but there are some human soldiers from the former marinad Kingdom mixed in is that so you mean the ones that split off because they didn’t want to go to the Great amid Wilderness yes danan nodded his head in agreement with my words I see if there are humans mixed in we would have been able to explore the movement of the Holy Kingdom and it has been quite a while since we started fighting the Holy Kingdom Army it’s not Surprising that a lot of preparations are needed to make in order to take action how many are there 1,000 people what can you repeat that I think I heard a great number 1,000 people it’s a lie isn’t it there are about 300 people that can fight the remaining 700 are their Families and other non-combatants that’s a problem I believe the main base had a capacity of 3,000 people when the first phase of construction was completed so there should be enough room to accommodate them but it’s a long way it takes about a week to walk melty do we Have enough food to be honest it’s a bit tight we have a stockpile of food at our main base but it isn’t easy to bring it up here we need to build a food production base as soon as possible that too somewhere close to the front lines The main base is a long way from here the original plan was to retreat to the greater mid Wilderness so I thought it wouldn’t be a problem if we made food at the main base in the rear in fact since we’re operating out of the greater mid Wilderness we’re in a state where our supply lines are stretched thin this is not good we could set up a base just outside the border of the great amid Wilderness and a little further into the great Amit Wilderness I think we should do that fortunately most of the gizar Have been exterminated in the marinad Kingdom side of the great Amit Wilderness there should be little danger we can’t reinforce the for anymore the unexpected always happens the current situation is that the sudden increase in the number of allies is more Troublesome than the enemy still what amazing time In it’s as if someone guided them to it’s k k I haven’t seen him in a while he went undercover and got in touch with a former member of the marinad Kingdom military sneaking in by himself that’s amazing is he a spy or something a spy Fox anyway that’s the Situation I’d like to hear your opinion my opinion huh first of all what direction are we discussing I’m of the opinion that we should seize Eric Berg at once with the help of the volunteer Army I’m against it we’ve got a lot on our plate right now and I think we Should be ready for anything but that would also give the Holy Kingdom time to get ready the enemy’s Advantage is in numbers if they attack three forts at the same time it will be tough the moment we start to defend ourselves we may be crushed but dot silie smiled in Annoyance as she watched Anan and melty argue with each other they’ve been doing this for a while now and they can’t seem to decide what to do what do you think silie all right I’m thinking of adopting Dan’s opinion but I’d like to hear kuk as well danan And melty turned around quickly and made contrasting Expressions at silus words danan looked as if he was going to say you know what I mean princess while melty looked as if she was going to say why is my opinion being rejected dot I want you to look at this map first the Map of the area this is the Fort and the surrounding towns and Villages can be reached by these lines are roads right yes there are other smaller roads but these are mainly the larger roads that the Army can travel I see Eric Berg is really a major transportation point Isn’t it as far as the map shows there are no other routes for the holy Kingdom’s Army to go south once we have captured Eric Berg if we can capture Eric Berg we can isolate the forces of the Holy Kingdom South of Eric Berg yes that’s right if we hold Eric Berg it Will be difficult for the Holy Kingdom to adopt a strategy of overwhelming us with a large army so all we have to do is defend Eric Berg solidly that’s right in the end we will be able to reduce the number of forces devoted to defense which will allow us to devote more Manpower to maintaining security danan clenches his fists and makes a strong argument melty on the other hand looks a little disappointed what’s melty’s biggest complaint it’s not that I’m unhappy it’s just that I’m worried about ruling afterward if we do manage to capture it even if we capture Eric Berg In the shortest possible time there will still be soldiers of the Holy Kingdom South of Eric Berg there is a possibility that they will cause Mayhem looting or even banditry in various places it’s a problem that will always be with us if we go forward with the war If they do that the reputation of the Holy kingdoms Army will suffer as a result and if we defeat them our own reputation will be enhanced I hope it goes that easily melty doesn’t think it will go that well it will certainly be a different kind of hardship than before Up until now all we had to do was to be careful of gizmer who would just barge in and be stupidly straight forward I don’t think there’s much to worry about with Harpy which can scout a wide area from above and the Golem Communicator it should not be difficult to hunt down Bandits yumu I think so too danan agrees with my view even when hiding in the mountains and forests Harpy’s eyes are not easily fooled and if we have a strong unit that can communicate with each other using Golem communicators it will not be difficult to hunt down the Bandits not everything can be solved by force melty glared at danan and me with a look that seem to say you muscle brain hi scary well kuk are you sure you agree with Dan’s plan too why yeah it’s a basic tactic in war games to capture key Transportation points I think it’s Better to capture it when you can even if you have to put off your internal politics so that it will be easier later on it’s a basic tactic in strategic simulation games to seize key Transportation points if the opponent has more mobilized forces it is even better we’re much better at defending Our bases than we are at fighting in the field and even if they bypass the Eric Berg by surprise we can use the harpies wide area search capabilities and the Golem’s communication speed to defeat them individually what are the volunteers doing now they’re staying at Fort Alpha we’re planning to leave as Many as possible in Fort Alpha who can help us and send the non-combatants back with an escort do we have enough food and stuff we’ll be able to get by with the Harvest from the fields kosok has planted we’ll be sending some extra supplies from Fort beta my inventory is Still well stocked so if the need arises I can just make a run for it I’d rather have kosak set up a supply base that way we don’t have to walk non-competent to the main base Which is far away that sounds good I’ll start working on it Tomorrow please do so danan and I will stay here and organize a force to attack Eric Berg kuk moved to Fort Alpha and set up a production base there I see I’m sad to be separated from sfie again even though I have no choice Isla will be With you yeah there might be some injured or sick people how long will we be separated this time it seems like a long time to capture a whole city um I’m going to miss her it’s not that I don’t miss Isler and Harpy because they’re Here I like them but for me sfie is the most important don’t look so lonely it will shake my resolve I don’t have a choice um you too can you guys do that in private please Foo Foo are you jealous silie don’t get too carried away melty whispered something Into sil’s ear as she turned her chest with a smug look on her face as soon as she did sweat began to appear on sil’s face what is it are you okay with that please don’t do that what should I do then with a strange impatient look silie Clutches at melty and begins to wobble what the hell is this I’m so curious oh I guess that’s it for the meeting kuk get some rest for tomorrow yes danan hurriedly left the meeting room looking uncomfortable danan seemed to have heard something hum do you like that one or Would you prefer that I’m so sorry sfie was half crying melty what kind of her weaknesses does she have you can never be sure with melty chapter 73 if first time in a carriage and masas hurts the next day after spending a lovey-dovey time with sfie me Isla and two other Mags 10 light infantry and Perna and two other harpies started moving from Fort gamma to Fort Alpha last night Isla and the others left us alone perhaps out of concern for me and sfie who would be separated for a while thanks to them we were able to spend some quality time Together for the first time in a very long time to be more specific I was able to enjoy sfie who spoiled me so much it’s been a while since I felt like a regressed infant she was so cute that I had a nose bleed when she woke up in the Morning and became calm she was so flustered that’s what makes her cute kuk H what’s wrong you seem to be in a days so I called out to you you’re in danger of falling yes it’s dangerous to fall try to be more alert H we were being Driven in a carriage it was the one we had captured at Fort gamma The Carriage was not very big but it was very comfortable the horse drawn carriages are not that big but with two horses the speed is quite fast I think it’s partly because the luggage that should be Loaded is stored in my inventory at this pace we should be at Fort Alpha by the end of the day wow 3 days on foot turned into one day that’s fast the scenery outside the carriage seemed to be quite fast from what I remember horsedrawn carriages don’t seem that fast but maybe The horses in this world are stronger than the horses on Earth however there’s nothing I can do about the vibration of this Carriage it’s much better thanks to kok’s cushions the road between Fort gamma and Fort Alpha is neither a flat stone pavement nor a paved concrete Surface it was just bare ground that had been stepped on in the usual way therefore the slightest unevenness would cause the carriage to shake badly if it weren’t for the cushions it would have been a pain in the ass in about 10 minutes it seems that the carriage has No suspension or anything well that’s obvious suspension it’s a device that uses spring force or something to keep the carriage from swaying kuk can you make one I don’t know a detailed structure either but it might be possible I accessed the carriage and found a menu of upgrades times primitive Wagon upgrade dash 10 mechanical Parts 20 wood eight steel leaf springs I think I can do it go ahead no not while it’s running I have a feeling that upgrading while the carriage is running will cause an accident the horse will be startled by the light and start to freak out We’ll stop a all right from Isla’s perspective the fact that the carriage shakes less is a big deal it’s a a little early for a lunch break but I think we should eat while we’re at it at Isla’s signal the three carriages gradually slowed down and finally came To a stop on the side of the road the people in the other carriages seem to be fed up with the shaking of the carriages and came down rubbing their bottoms it’s a little early for lunch don’t you think kosok will modify the carriage so it won’t shake so much really the cushions That kosok s and gave us helped a lot but that’s very welcome we’re going to have lunch a little early kuk bring out the food AO following Isla’s instructions I pulled out a food package from my inventory this is a wooden box containing dried vegetables dried meat Baked bread flour and other food stuffs and salt spices and other seasonings well originally it was supposed to be three servings of food for five people this was a prototype to improve Logistics efficiency and to package and manage the food that could be stored in addition to this food pack we will need Pots and dishes which will be provided to the soldiers as equipment this pack will only contain the food we’ll take care of the cooking and kuk can modify the carriage okay once the Food Packs pots and pans are out I start upgrading the carriage I told the Soldier taking care of the horses to untie them from the carriage and separate them when I upgrade it it glows brightly if the horse gets spooked and goes into a rage the horse and I are in danger fortunately I have all the materials I need so the upgrade will be Done as soon as the horse is separated H it’s so bright even though it was daytime the area was brightly lit when I look directly at it I get dizzy even in the daytime I crawled underneath the covered wagon to see what was going on it seemed that a spring made of steel Leaf springs had been inserted between the axle and the body of the carriage I wondered how much this would reduce the shaking I’ll have to ride it to find out is it done just one for now I’m looking forward to it Isla who always has a blank expression Smiles slightly It seems that the vibration of the carriage was a serious problem for isa’s small body don’t get your hopes up too high we don’t know how effective it will be H okay I’ll be happy if the vibrations are reduced even a little by the way I wondered why the axle of this Carriage didn’t break even though it was subjected to such a vibrating impact when I thought about it I took a closer look and found that the axle was made of wood what why doesn’t it break Isa if this axle is made of wood how come it doesn’t break when it vibrates like that The wood has been carved with magic to strengthen its durability and repair itself that’s why it won’t break it’s been strengthened by Magic yes the axle is the most expensive part of the carriage I see my image of a carriage axle is that they break a lot but in This world they strengthen them with magic so that they don’t break so easily this makes the axle more expensive but it’s more cost- effective than having to buy several new axles or having one break and render you unable to move move with Isa watching over me I finished Upgrading the other two carriages and then it was time for lunch today’s menu is I wonder what this is it looks like something that was just thrown together and boiled baked bread is hard so if it can be cooked it’s easier to eat it cooked like this and crumbled into Porridge I also stewed dried vegetables and meat to make a broth I also made dumplings out of grain flour and added them in other words it was a combination of all ingredients no The Taste is surprising L edible but when I think about it it’s hard to eat a normal meal on the Battlefield even if you’re boiling it in the past when I was on Earth if you look back 50 years the food in the Army was almost the same as this nowadays the food is made into porridge because of the ability to boil it but if it weren’t For that we would have had to gulp down hard salty dried meat while chewing on hard crusty bread it would be difficult to make a decent meal available anywhere without retort food or at least can food with the current level of Technology it would be impossible what do you have in Mind I’ve been trying to think of a way to make good food available everywhere it’s hard yeah it’s hard so it’s not going to happen now eventually I’d like to try my hand at bottling canning and retorting food but that will take a long time it might be faster to solve Something in a magical way than that if I could make a tool that could transport food in large quantities while keeping it fresh that would be the solution wow it’s not shaking as much it’s definitely a lot better with the upgrade to the suspension The Carriage vibration was considerably Improved it still shakes quite a bit but it’s a huge difference compared to when there was no suspension if there are cushions it won’t bother you at all it was well received by the lightly armored infantry of the beastmen who was acting as our guards and the carriage ran quite Fast perhaps because of this we were able to arrive at Fort Alpha just as the sun began to set oh it’s overflowing with people H they’re even camped outside Isla was right there were several campsite built outside of Fort Alpha apparently they couldn’t fit in Fort Alpha it seemed that the people Camped out in the tents were members of The Liberation Army I guess they gave up the safe sleeping quarters in the fort to the refugees I parted ways with Isler and the mags who were on their way to treat the refugees and headed for the Food Warehouse with the light infantry The place was crowded with refugees looking for food and it was quite a mess it was a struggle to get to the Food Warehouse and if it weren’t for the light infantry I might not have made it there ah kuk san we’ve been waiting for You hurry up and take them out oh okay calm down a goat tip Beast Man civil servant girl wearing round glasses clung to me in half tears she was mentally trapped because the supplies had almost run out despite many calls for food I began to pull supplies out of my Inventory into the near empty food pantry there were mostly bags of grain crates of potatoes and vegetables and crates of ready to eat block cookies the rest was dried meat made from gizar meat it’s supposed to be made of gizar meat but it looks like dried beef or Pork but who cares with my ability this level of unreasonableness is just the beginning anyway the only thing left was the SALT it was kind of sad to see only ceramic jars of salt lined up in the corner of the warehouse please keep the order there are enough supplies to go Around for everyone so calm down the girl from the civilian staff who had looked like she was about to cry earlier raised her voice and started Distributing supplies to the refugees the light infantry also agreed to help so I decided to leave saying I would go outside to build sleeping quarters hey Good work a voice called out to me as I passed through the crowded area near the food storage I turned around to see a fluffy Fox man I hadn’t seen his face in a while long time no see I heard you’ve been sneaking in alone well I’m good at Sneaking around you know I am the right person for the job K whom I hadn’t seen in a while looked as aloof as ever it’s not like he’s lost weight or been injured it looks like he did really well I’m glad you’re okay anyway what are Your plans now after resting here for a few days I’ll go to Fort gamma and meet up with the princess and the old man danan I’m going on a reconnaissance mission well be careful oh yeah have some of this oh is that honey wine I smell thanks don’t tell anyone I know Kby hurried away with a bottle of Honey wine in his arms I think he’s going to drink somewhere soon I watched him go and walked back out of the fort as I did so a werewolf accompanied by his subordinates came walking towards me from the front perhaps he had noticed me But I raised one hand in greeting long time no see you had a tough time yes well well thanks to kokono it seems that things have settled down the pantry was nearly empty my inventory is pretty low and I’m seriously going to have to do something about the supplies I’m going To set up a supply base with a large farm tomorrow so we should be able to afford it in a week have you selected a location yet unfortunately no but there’s a stretch of flat land from this fort to the great amid Wilderness it could be anywhere W nodded at my words So why don’t we build one adjacent to this fort Alpha in the end this place will also become the rear and if that’s the case I think it’s better to build it in a location where it’s easy to get security out of Fort Alpha it might be Good to build it on the marinad side instead of the great amid Wilderness side there seems to be a surplus of land and the refugees here will be the ones who will work in the Farmland it would be a safer option than building a farm in the greater mid Wilderness all right I’ll think about it and discuss it with sfie and the others in the evening please do after parting ways with work I set up my usual temporary lodging place a short distance away from where the Liberation Army soldiers were camped it’s a base on stilts very safe and has A large bathroom so it’s easy to use you know I’ve been upgrading it little by little to reflect the feedback from the users the harpies and Isa will probably sleep in the same temporary lodgings as I do so it should be fine but I wonder what the others will do it’s easy enough To make a place to stay but I wonder what I should do if I wanted to I could build one for the soldiers stationed at Fort Alpha who have camped outside but there’s no way to clean up after them I can’t just leave them outside the fort For now I’m going to build a dormitory for the light infantry and Mags who have worked with me up to this point if I make it a little bigger based on the temporary accommodation it will be fine the capacity is about 20 people it’s good to have a large space yes as soon As Isla Perna and the others come back I’ll prepare a meal for them I have to put the futon in the bed and it needs some maintenance even after it is built chapter 74 imil tool in the end I decided to build the production base near Fort Alpha about a 3-hour walk to The marinad kingdom side there was a possibility that it would become a Battleground when the Holy Kingdom’s Army attacked Fort Alpha but it was judged that the holy Kingdom’s Army which had been sent to defeat us twice and had lost three forts would be extremely unlikely to send more troops To defeat us so now we can do as we please in the marinad Kingdom we can’t be too careless though that’s true Harpy Scouts are flying in the sky above and about 30 soldiers are stationed here there are dormit for the workers in the center of the production base warehouses To stockpile supplies Barracks to protect them and small forts with defensive walls while we are defending the fort we can call for reinforcements with the Golem Communicator or bomb the fort with harpies from inside maybe by the way it’s unusual for Isler to accompany me isn’t it at times like this A strong individual is usually assigned to escort me this time my escorts were 30 soldiers three harpies and iser is it a a decision that the 30 soldiers will cover for the strength aspect I’m the strongest person in Fort Alpha that’s just fine a seriously yes seriously I’m A former Court Mage after all it’s true that isa’s magic is great but is it that great but when I think about it the majority of the people in Fort Alpha are ordinary soldiers and the rest are only K and work the main force is in Fort Gamma if I were to get serious I could take out 50 soldiers of the Holy Kingdom Army by myself maybe maybe I’m not good at close combat after all I guess that’s true isler’s body is small and if she is exposed to physical violence at close Range she will not be able to do anything about it kosok what do you want the farm to look like oh that’s right I’m thinking of making a big area around this base a fence around the Farmland will be enough right h i don’t want thick brick or stone walls like the ones In the great amid Wilderness just just a wooden fence or wall would be enough there are plenty of materials around so that should be fine this area is close to the forest and if you go away from the road for a while you will be in the Forest the fort the starting point of the production base was also set up a short distance away from the road it will be hard to cut down all of those foo foo foo no problem I’ve created a secret weapon for just such an occasion so I took out an axe from my inventory It’s an axe with a silvery white metal blade that a ax could it be it’s a logging axe made from mithil by the way the required materials were as follows times mithil logging axe material mithil X4 wood X1 the materials are surprisingly cheap except for the fact That it uses mithil and that it takes a long time to make I also made a Mythril pickaxe Mythril shovel and mithil hoe the materials used were the same as for the logging axe when did I make them well if I make a crafting appointment Before I go to bed at night or rather before I go go to my bedroom it will be ready in the morning it’s not like I’m going to do that thing every night though kuk you stupid awful it’s a waste of mithil there’s no such thing as waste I’ll show you the power of this Axe and I have some mithril left over I mind that canyon to the point of turning it into a mere Mountain stream when the dust settles the inventory of mithil becomes overwhelming the amount of Mythril used to make Mythril copper alloy and Mythril silver alloy is Negligible share it with me later you’ll have to ask sfie I heard it’s very expensive and I can’t decide on my own all right I swing the Mythril logging axe into the tree while Isa breathes heavily with enthusiasm Soria asterisk Don asterisk asterisk Don asterisk asterisk Don asterisk kuk no it’s more Convenient isn’t it yes but when Isla sees that a fine tree has been reduced to several logs by a single Blow from mithril logging axe she gives me an Indescribable look it’s a good thing the axe that could finish logging in a single blow is as good as a cheap mod The other mithil tools are great too anyway that’s how logging gets done but what about the stump oh yeah I swung the Mythril logging axx at the stump and it shattered Without a Trace all that was left was a lovely sappling oh if you plant this another tree will grow yes The light is missing from isa’s eyes after a long time it’s good in two actions the tree can be handled including from the stump to the roots this makes it a breeze to clear out the forest and turn it into Farmland there was a time when I thought so too wow That’s a lot of trees there are also some monsters that are coming in order to create Farmland we first cut down the trees to open up the land but it takes a lot of time and effort because we have to turn a certain area into a field even If I could cut down the trees with one blow the numbers are still numbers and then the monsters attacked as if they didn’t like the fact that we were clearing the forest goblins big wolves big insects tentacled meat pillarlike things crustations and slugs turtle-like things that shoot Stone cannonballs and Other strange creatures are pouring in that tortoise-like creature was dangerous Rock Smasher is rare they don’t come out around here I wondered if it was possible to use a crossbow with a steel leaf spring to cut through the thick carpes but Isla used lightning magic to kill it with a single blow the Rest of the 30 soldiers surrounded it and killed it by piercing its head with their Spears what a poor Turtle the meat is delicious I see well shall we all eat the meat of that Turtle for dinner tonight H it was a pretty big turtle so we could probably get enough meat for Everyone I’ll dismantle it in my inventory later after 3 hours of clearing a large area of land it was time to use mithil shovel I’ll use it to collect the soil from the forest H why why not just blow it up we can make farm blocks out of the forest soil The Harvest will be much faster if we put down Farm blocks right yes but this isn’t a Wilderness it’s a rich Forest so even if we just plow it the Harvest might be better than in the wilderness I see that’s one way of thinking about it So let’s start by digging up half of the land and laying down Farm blocks and then just plowing the other half then we can observe how it grows um I think that would be a good idea that’s what we decided so Isler and I started digging Up the soil in the forest what’s that it’s a mithil shovel that’s weird yeah you can dig up an area of about 5 m by 5 m with one dig it’s amazing how can it be I don’t know either when I said that with a frown Isa smacked me on the but With her staff it hurts well that’s good because it’s convenient oh by the way you know that magical material are those things available the material for kok’s granting workbench those should be collected at the central Wilderness Fort I’ll have to have it sent over to here there’s no Time to go back there after all that’s the problem basically under the the current circumstances I’m forced to stay near the front lines so I don’t have a chance to go back over there I really need to get a carriage to take me back There yeah but can we use a wagon in the wilderness it’s not impossible to use it it’s just that it’s very dangerous if you step on a big stone or something so you can’t go too fast with gizmer around we’ll just have to find a way to get Back at some point right you can also get them here some Merchants deal in magical materials so it might be faster to do so I see while chatting like this we dug up the soil in the forest and set up Farmland blocks in the dug up areas Once that was done it was time for the hoe to come into play that’s it that’s it with a single swing of the hoe an area of 10 m by 10 m was plowed at once something like a shock wave flies and blows the ground this is pretty powerful Can it be used as an attack so I tried to use it when a group of goblins came out but it only plowed the ground under their feet and the Goblins attacked me like crazy it was a close call the hoe can only be used to plow the ground then What happens if kosak wields a mithil sword it was nothing but a slash it seems that no matter how unreasonable the performance of Mythril equipment is it will not benefit me in terms of combat I’m really not cut out for combat am I it’s okay we’ll protect you kuk Please it’s not that I can’t fight at all though I can shoot a crossbow I can shoot a gun and when it comes down to it I can use my strange movements to toss and turn but I guess my Powers aren’t really suited for direct combat no if I Improve my skills or complete some combat related achievements I might be able to turn into one I shouldn’t give up actually I’m not that desperate and I don’t want to do direct combat because I hate pain I don’t want to do anything dangerous and I don’t want to be exposed To gore however I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to keep making weapons that can kill enemies with me in a safe place while sfie Isla Perna and the others are smearing their hands and feet with blood when necessary no I don’t think it’s acceptable to stain my own Hands with blood either I feel like I’m making things easier for myself by forcing everyone else to do hard scary and unpleasant things according to silie and the others it’s more like I’m the one who’s helping them reclaim their Homeland and their pride the difference in our perceptions or rather the gulf Between us is probably due to the difference in our positions I need to stand on that side and silie and the others need to stand on this side or it seems like it will never be filled kuk hum are you okay what’s wrong you look Like you’re in pain are you tired do you need to rest H not like that I’ll tell you later it’s easy to say it’s nothing here and cover it up but it’s never good to hide and accumulate such a lump in my heart I’ll tell Isa perer and the others About it before I go to bed today that’s what I decided in my mind and I continued to wield the silvery white her chapter 75 is standby after finishing today’s work I return to my room thanks to the fact that I’m always making the same food I feel at home even when I Move from place to place which makes me feel at ease today since I was going to consult with them all the harpies who had come to support the development of the production base as well as Isla decided to gather today’s three harpies were Ray a jet black feathered Harpy Pessa a brown feathered Harpy and cpri also a brown feathered Harpy after bathing and eating we sat side by side on a ratang couch and relaxed so I heard that kuk wanted to talk to us about something today what’s going on H I don’t think it’s anything to discuss With that I decided to confess what I had been thinking about during the day it’s not that I can’t fight but I’m hiding behind everyone else and letting my hands get blooded I am aware that my personality and abilities are not suited for combat but I still feel guilty Because I feel like I am forcing everyone to do something they don’t want to do after hearing my confession Isla and the others pondered for a while they must have been trying to find their own words I know exactly how kosok feels Isla was the first to open her mouth and Stared at me because of the close distance between us I could clearly see the reflection of my face in her large eye I have the power of a court Mage but I also possess the power of an alchemist and my body is small that’s why they wouldn’t send me out on Dangerous Hunts Because if Isla collapsed there would be nothing they could do if anyone got injured or sick the Jeet black feathered Harpy Ray mutters in a quiet voice Isla nodded at the murmur so I couldn’t do anything too dangerous the people around me wouldn’t let me and I was aware that I couldn’t do that myself same with kosok now same for sure how did you get over it I endured right it was a very simple answer even if you distract yourself and force yourself to move the situation will deteriorate and it won’t get better I thought about which would Help everyone more if I stepped forward forward and used my power or if I stayed in the village and helped everyone then I thought that no matter what I thought it would be better for everyone if I stayed in the village so I endured um I Know that too I know that but it’s hard to say whether it’s enough to convince me that’s why I’m struggling if you’re feeling guilty why don’t you ask the person you’re feeling guilty about pessa gives me a straightforward answer but to ask everyone how do you feel about me Staying in my safe Zone I want to refrain from doing that at least there’s no need for kosok Arma to feel guilty about us harpies in fact I’m grateful that you’ve taken such good care of us Rey who usually doesn’t talk much speaks an unusually long line I can’t see any sign Of concern in her dull black eyes as she stares at me I feel as if she’s really sincerely saying that well I think so too it’s all thanks to you that we’ve become so active and everyone has taken notice of us that’s right we weren’t strong enough to hunt the big Beasts of The black forest and we were clumsy with our hands so we were a burden when we were in the village there were times when we accompanied the hunters but back then there were no communication devices so even if we passed on information we often found that the target had already Escaped or had moved on by the time we arrived I’m good at hunting rabbits though PESA said with a laugh apparently they can catch small lightweight Animals by plunging down from the sky I guess they are all like giant Birds of Prey if it weren’t for Kos we would have been Killed in the Black Forest fighting gizar or killed by monsters deep in the forest even now thanks to kuk we are able to eat and sleep in a safe and clean place there is no way anyone would try to force kosok to fight after knowing that in other words you worry Too much it’s just like you’re doing everything alone I think kosok cares too much about things that don’t matter that’s pretty harsh too much thinking I’m overthinking hum I wonder if that’s true if that’s what everyone says then I guess so I do think I’m making a big contribution To everyone’s life and the fight in the first place kosok has the wrong idea the people who are out there fighting are not being forced to fight they are fighting because they want to it’s not dirty work they are throwing themselves into the fight to restore Pride to themselves and everyone else millimeter That’s right in the first place the people who are fighting including us don’t think that they are dirtying their hands feet and wings they fighting for themselves and for everyone else um in other words it’s wrong to think that I’m making everyone’s hands dirty it is fine For people to think that you are great or that you are doing your best but it is not the same if you are apologizing for what you have done for them different pessar and Ray also said that to me is my way of thinking wrong to Begin with it’s hard to say it’s going to be very difficult to figure out how much War and the killing that goes along with it can be justified the more kosak thinks about it the more you get stuck it is best to do what you can without Thinking too much about it doesn’t that make me sound like an idiot no you’re not you’re just being too nice I think there was a subtle pause or is it my imagination when I looked at the harpies they averted their gaze or smiled at me I’ll just pretend it’s my imagination For the sake of my mental health no more hard talk it’s been a while since it’s been our turn so let’s get along H we should don’t think too hard just let us do our thing pessa p me by the hand and led me to the bedroom Isla pushed me From behind and cpri followed with a smile on her face Ray was ahead of everyone else and had opened the door to the bedroom it was perfect coordination please go easy on me the girls didn’t respond to my words only smiled at me this is dangerous thanks to the effects Of the mithril tools the cultivation progressed at a rapid Pace in just 3 days a vast expanse of farmland and an irrigation system for agriculture had been created I think kok’s Watering Hole is outrageous isn’t it a little late for that the main obstacle in managing vast Farmland is the water used for farming naturally clean water is preferable and above all there must be enough water to cover the entire Farmland the infinite water source I’ve created can easily meet both of these requirements the fact that you can expand it as much as you Want is amazing and dangerous at the same time dangerous to the ruler it’s worth it to kill anyone who has control of kuk and take you away that’s scary and kok’s Fields can be ready to harvest in a week it depends on the crop but you Can Harvest 2 years worth of crops in a month if there is a surplus of crops they can be sold elsewhere or used for animal husbandry the value of kosok is immeasurable even if it’s just for your agricultural abilities I see when I think of it that way my abilities are undoubtedly Outrageous the chicken that lays the golden eggs is like a Merlion that keeps spitting out gold coins I’m sorry for the dirty analogy though if the Holy Kingdom learns of kok’s existence they may come to steal you away at any cost the unexplainable power that kosok uses is similar in nature to Miracles Performed by priests and Saints seriously yeah that’s why we need to hide kok’s existence at all costs isn’t that impossible the fact that I built this production base will be known throughout the Liberation Army and eventually people who don’t belong to the Liberation Army will visit this Place I think it’s only a matter of time before the Holy Kingdom finds out about my existence yes it’s impossible that’s why we have to be even more careful about protecting kuk and then Isla hugged me tightly around the waist is Lan personal protection oh I See I can’t help but feel that something is very wrong but I’m happy to be hugged by Isa so I’ll leave it at that it’s a little difficult to walk and the warm Stairs Of The Liberation Army soldiers are piercing me but I mustn’t worry about it I’ve sent a message to Fort Alfha as soon as I finished the maintenance of the production base so the world workers of this production base should be arriving here today the capacity of this production base is 500 people so there is not enough room for all the people who have gathered here The other half of the people should be sent to the central base or the main base in the rear at the main base and the central base it seems that processing machines and metal refining furnaces using water wheel power and magic power have started to operate and They are short of Craftsmen to handle those machines therefore the remaining Personnel is generally people with such skills and their amilies also I heard that they are starting to build roads that connect the main base and the central base to the various bases and shelters in order to make it possible to Move carriages at least they are putting in people who can use Earth magic and are working on it I thought I’d be sent out sooner or later but if they can do it themselves so much the better I don’t know if I can do everything myself by The way how is the invasion of Eric Berg Going H they finished organizing and should be leaving tomorrow oh well I don’t have to go this time do I no they’re doing it without kosok it will be an allout battle with Alpha Beta And even the central fort deployed to help I See it should be all right the thought that someone I know might die without my knowledge makes me nervous I think that if I were there I might be able to handle it there are crossbows aerial bombs and Hand Grenades sir Leonard has also gone from the central fort and Danan and zami are also there they will surely protect sfie I hope hope so it may be frustrating but sometimes it’s important to stay in the rear and stand firm with kuk behind them everyone can fight with peace of mind yeah that’s right still things that make me uncomfortable make me Uncomfortable I hope everyone is okay Video Information
