Mawanga’s Secret Real Estate 295

Chapter 295 – Chapter 28 – Don’t Get Caught

The fighting power of fairies is due to various attacks that start from a distance.
Seeing that Natania was even treated as a problem child by her family because she was inferior to other fairies in her skill with magic and bows, it was natural to see that.

Compared to kingdoms and empires, it is a land of fairies with relatively many forests and hills.
Of course, you can’t benefit from the combat methods that you can use on the plains.
No, such a method could rather be said to be a shortcut to suffering only the worst losses.

Sha Sha Sha Shot!!-

“Damn it.”

As soon as they entered the territory of the fairy side, what greeted the demon soldiers was the arrows of the fairies flying countless times from an invisible place.
Just because we were here doesn’t mean we weren’t prepared for the fairies’ attacks.
Knowing that the target of the next battle was a fairy, he trained to block arrows, and prepared a lot of magic tactics in preparation for magic to fly.

However, training and practice are inevitably different in the end.
Right now, the fairies weren’t shooting arrows for ‘killing’, but driving the demon soldiers here and there for ‘containment’ and ‘fatigue overlap’.

No matter how well-trained soldiers are, they can’t be as calm as usual under a constant barrage of arrows.
If an arrow penetrates between the shields and gets stuck in the arm or shoulder of a comrade.
Or, if arrows are stuck in one’s body, they naturally gather more and grit their teeth.

Naturally, the ranks of the demon army gathered in the center, and then moved to a place where arrows were less likely to pour.
Breaking through like this was difficult because the opponent was sitting on a low hill.

“Ferdinand. Advancement is impossible at this rate. If you get swung like this before the enemy’s magic attack has started yet…”
“For now, put the troops behind you. It must be difficult to even take ten steps today.”

The damage wasn’t that great, the battle itself wasn’t established, so it wasn’t like losing.
However, the soldiers who returned to the camp were downcast as if they had suffered a major defeat.
Looking back at those soldiers, Ferdinand involuntarily bit his lip.

The fairies see through this side’s weakness very accurately.
That time is still on their side, and that it is this side that is lost in time.
If you completely absorb the kingdom and follow it, you will have full control of the empire.
From now on, you don’t have to worry about human and material resources anymore.
In addition, the safety of the rear is assured, so now the demon king will be able to turn his spear at the fairies and beastmen in earnest.

But that can never happen right now.
No matter how many nobles fled and someone else surrendered, in the end, the west and east continued to fight the last time, and many casualties occurred in the meantime.
The emotional goal is deeper than you think, and the conflict can become a huge forest fire by sparks that may have sprung up somewhere.

The Demon King knows that, so he himself remains in the castle and is working on stabilization.
Also, the absorbed empire this time also made a decision to leave some troops and the Ashley Palatinat in order to maintain stability similar to that of the kingdom.

‘The fairies know that for sure. In the long run, their defeat is certain, but if you look at it over a reasonable amount of time, they will find that they have an advantage. And with resistance like now, in order to gain an advantage in future negotiations and somehow preserve their place.’

If the frontline forces are concentrated in this way, the rear naturally becomes unstable.
If, by any chance, someone rises up saying that they cannot follow the demons in the kingdom, the demons have to fight back and forth against the enemies.
It was no different from forming a double-sided front that should be avoided the most on the battlefield.

If such a situation arises, should we withdraw our troops here to promote stability in the occupied area?
Or, even if the inside was shaken, he would somehow try to push the fairies and beastmen out.
Ferdinand assured me that he would choose the former, and he thought the fairies were predicting that.

That’s why they show their will and power to resist while dragging time like that.
We know that we can’t win either, but if you resist, I’m sure you demons will be forced to suffer great damage, and you don’t know what the consequences will be.
So stop acknowledging us, leave your troops behind, and be content with your kingdom and empire.
We can also improve our relationship with the demons to the point of forcing a smile, even if it’s not to the level of laughing haha, with the intention of saying this.

“You seem to be having quite a headache.”

Klaus had already arrived and was sitting in the command barracks.
Seeing him, Ferdinand almost unknowingly asked him for help.
As the fairies thought, what is more urgent now is an ally rather than an enemy.
Somehow, I had to quickly bring the fairies and beasts to their knees and start the restoration work.
In a long-term battle here, both sides will suffer extreme attrition, but in the end, the side that suffers the greater damage is the side that inevitably attacks.

Conversely, if you go later, very later, the demons might be more advantageous.
The moment when the kingdom’s resources are used and humans join hands with the demons to unify the continent.
If that time comes, no matter how much a fairy with 100 feet or 100, even if it’s a beast warrior.
In the end, he will fight against his strength, realize defeat, and bow his head in front of the demon king.

‘But that’s literally a story for a very, very distant future.’

You don’t know how long it will take, and conversely, a big incident may break out within the kingdom.
Currently, almost all of the main forces of the eastern side are here.
In other words, it is the royal guards under Julia that maintain the current security of the kingdom.
And it was said that the surrendered human soldiers were all.

“I never thought it would be easy, but it is so hard nonetheless.”
“I guess so. A kingdom that was already rotten to the point of being rotten and could be broken with just a little bit of strength. It’s different from the empire that didn’t even fit the name of the empire in the first place.”
“I thought the training was enough. The arrows of the fairies are very dangerous in terms of power and accuracy. So I handled the shield and prepared not to be afraid in front of the arrow that struck it…”
“If the situation goes as planned, it will be training, not war, Ferdinand.”

Either he or he is also a person who returns dozens of times.
At Klaus’ words, Ferdinand sighed and sat down to look at the map.
Currently, this area was the best access route that was put forward after meeting after meeting after receiving a report from the scouts.
The remaining places have more hills or are blocked by thick forests.
Either that or the river was flowing, so it was a place that became a defense in itself.

It was a good place for a large force to enter because the terrain they were trying to break through a while ago had only one low hill and there was a flat terrain behind it.
Of course, the fairies must have predicted that fact, so I thought there would be a battle.
However, the fairies’ check attack was stronger than expected, and it was the eastern army that did not advance far and eventually returned to the camp.

“What is the current damage? Is it serious?”
“No. Not so. In the first place, even the fairies would have a burden to fight against us in an all-out war. There are no beastmen, and the best ones were lost in the previous battle, so it must be a bit scary. More than anything else, if you have the intention of waiting for something to happen inside the kingdom while wasting time, delaying like this will be the most effective.”
“Summarizing, it means that it is difficult to even enter, let alone break through, with the straight attack method.”

Ferdinand nodded his head at Klaus’ brief theorem.

He has fought many battles on many battlefields, but I wonder how many times he has been in such a hurry.
He had a strong desire to achieve results quickly, and the situation in the kingdom could not be said to be positive forever, and considering the battle with beastmen, he suffered more damage and there was nothing good.
Above all, if the damage on the side of the allies increases, no matter how much the continent is unified, there will be no troops to maintain it, so it could be in a state of splendid appearance, but in reality it may collapse.

“So, what is the conclusion? Ferdinand. You are the commander-in-chief of this army. Of course, you should know how to destroy it.”
“… To be honest, I don’t know. I wouldn’t know if the enemies would fight again, but if it’s like this, no matter how much I know how to fight, there’s no way. How do you attract guys who don’t intend to join properly? Even the other side is far ahead of us in ranged firepower.”

At times like this, I sometimes think that it would have been really nice if Cecily, the owner of Reblanc, had been there.
She said that her great magic that she showed was really great, but she would have worried less about her at least her magical attacks if she had been by her side.
However, Cecily LeBlanc said that she was clearing out the remaining resistance forces in the kingdom with Kaela.
In other words, there is neither the time nor the money to come here and support.

‘If this is the case, there must be only one conclusion after all.’

Ferdinand thought so while looking at Klaus.
He is a man who shows a very relaxed appearance as if he came to a different place alone.
Looking at him, Ferdinand confided his thoughts.

“A good commander has to be good at his or her own abilities. He has to admit his shortcomings sometimes and listen to the opinions of those around him.”
“… You say you need help.”

Klaus let out a small laugh and thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“You don’t have to worry too much, Ferdinand.”
“No need to worry?”
“Yes. Currently, the fairies are convinced that we are more urgent than they are. That’s why you can act so leisurely. Shoot arrows well and prepare magic. What’s urgent is that it’s not them. But what if the other way around?”
“… What are you talking about?”
“If it’s not us who are in a hurry, but on the contrary, it’s them. If you think that somehow, if you don’t do a lot of damage in a single battle, you might be in big trouble. When it’s time to shoot arrows, they’re going to do something, whether it’s an attack or a night raid.”

Ferdinand couldn’t understand what the hell Klaus was talking about.
That statement makes sense, but it contains the biggest fallacy.
Currently, there is nothing urgent for the fairies, and on the contrary, the allies are even more urgent.
It’s allies, not enemies, who want to do a lot of damage.

“I mean this. There’s no reason to go inside and dig. If you gnaw it from the outside, step by step, eventually the side with all the flesh exposed will come out in a hurry.”

Having said that, Klaus presented a copy of his letter to Ferdinand.
A scroll that gives a very luxurious atmosphere even at a glance.
Ferdinand, who was looking at it, looked at Klaus with a sense of what this was.

“Because I got word from somewhere that the beasts are getting ready to move.”
“… No way?”
“If the fairies are the problem, it’s enough to subdue them by striking the other side first. Those left alone are bound to make mistakes in one way or another.”
