medical supplies to the extent that it is reasonable.
I will give instructions using Harpy and the Golem communicator.
Now, move.
We’re going to make a bloodbath of the Holy Kingdom.”

“…Hah.”

As I was checking the automatic grenade launcher, Sylphy, who was saying cool things this morning, was leaning on my back.
I wouldn’t say it’s heavy, but to be honest, it’s a little bit in the way.
Just a little bit.

“It was good that you said that on the spur of the moment, but it was a shock to have your sister look at you like that.”

“Well, it can’t be helped.
I’m not going to show weakness in front of Archbishop Deckard and High Priestess Katerina, am I?”

“That’s true, though… hah.”

Sylphy said something about taking command of the camp, but in reality, it’s almost as if the preparations are already almost complete, and the control of the troops by Sir Leonard and Ms.
Zamir is perfect.
The civil officers led by Melty had already organized the supplies and decided where they should be taken, so all that remained was to wait for the subjugation army from the Holy Kingdoms to arrive.

“Well, maybe it’s better to be a little intimidated.
No matter how I try to make up for it, my hands are stained with blood.
Twenty years have passed since my sisters and mother were put to sleep.
Hence, it’s only natural that we can’t have exactly the same relationship as we did before.”

“Don’t be so pessimistic.”

“I don’t think there is anything to be pessimistic about.
I’m just saying that relationships have to change and that it’s okay to have a new relationship now.”

“I can understand and support that kind of talk.
If there is anything I can do, please let me know.”

“Yes.
I’ll ask for your help when I think of something.”

While we were talking about these things, a message came into the Golem communicator.
Sylphy, who had been hugging me from behind, separated from me and picked up the receiver of the Golem communicator.

“It’s Sylphy.”

“This is Pirna.
The Holy Kingdom’s army stopped marching about an hour and a half away from Merinesburg on foot.
They are in position at that point and are sending out reconnaissance in all directions.”

“Understood.
Keep a safe distance and do not cause any casualties.”

“Copy that.”

The communication from Pirna was cut off.

“Don’t you think Pirna and the others’ positions are too far away from here?”

If you say it takes about an hour and a half on foot, it’s about 15 kilometers away.
I can’t see them from the walls here.
At least not with my eyes.
Since Sylphy doesn’t seem to be able to see her either, perhaps it is just barely far enough away to not be captured from the city walls.

“They probably saw Pirna and the others and thought it was suspicious.
According to the information they have, the Holy Kingdom is still in control of Merinesburg.
No, it is not as though we have completely blocked out the spy network, so there is a possibility that information has leaked out… Anyway, there is no doubt that they are on the lookout for us.”

“I see.
What do we do?”

“The first step would be to send a surrender notice.
We’ve already sealed the gates of Merinesburg, so we’ll just be on the lookout today to ensure no one from the outside gets in.
Tomorrow, we will take the Adol clergyman and a few prisoners of war with us, and we will send a surrender proposal.
With that breakdown, we will enter into a formal state of engagement.”

“Will there be a breakdown? Is it likely, right?”

“I see no reason not to.
From their point of view, we are just a small bandit who is excited about being a local tributary state.
They have no intention of negotiating with us.
Tomorrow, we will make an alibi for their surrender so that they won’t poke us in some strange way after all is said and done.”

Sylphy shrugged her shoulders and began to circulate the information she had received from Pirna to the various divisions.
The golem communicator is still very useful at times like this.

At this stage, we are planning to open the war tomorrow when the negotiations break down and the subjugation army begins their invasion.
Specifically, we will conduct air strikes by the Harpy Bombardment Unit and maneuver attacks by the gunners’ airboards.
If it is not poorly done, I have a feeling that this alone could crush the morale of the opponent, but, well, that is the time for that.
So let’s give them a thorough chase.
How far can they run against airboards that move faster than horses and Harpy-san, who flies in the sky? I don’t think they’ll be able to escape if they’re in a state of chaos on foot.

We plan to have the Harpies, who are not assigned to bombing missions, fly over to give us updates on the frontline battle situation, and depending on the situation on the battlefield, not only the gunners but also some of the elite troops will be riding airboards to join the pursuit.

“I wonder if they will attack up to the ramparts… impossible, right?”

“It’s impossible.
No matter what you think, they can’t even make it to the ramparts.”

Sylphy, who knows both the performance of the general-purpose machine guns equipped by the gunners and the power of the aerial bombardment by Harpy’s group, assured me of that.
That’s what I think, too.

It’s going to rain blood tomorrow.
