Chapter 270 – This Castle Is Now Mine #9
“Once we have gathered all the information we can gather. The war against angels is different from normal warfare. If wars between nobles were caused by irreconcilable interests, then wars against angels… Simply annihilate the enemies. It is an end in itself.”
Yes.
Although they are called lords and nobles, they all belong to the same country.
It can be said to feel like Earth’s feudal system, but it’s not exactly the same. Earth’s feudal lords have a vassal relationship with the king, but do not bow down.
Of course, due to the size of their power, they would have to bow down, but feudal lords were not subject to the king’s orders unless they signed a contract.
However, the lords of this world are slightly different.
They are appointed as lords by the king and are guaranteed autonomy over certain areas. In other words, it feels like the king is telling you to rule here as you please because you have some power.
Of course, paying taxes to the king and offering loyalty.
When the king gives orders, he listens to them.
This is the part where you can see how strong the royal authority is. Anyway. However, kings do not give unconditional orders to their lords. It is a world with superhuman strength, so the king is the strongest being, but the lords are also strong.
Of course admit it
Therefore, as much as the autonomy was recognized, most disputes tend to be resolved on their own. That’s why Yeongjijeon and the like happen. The important thing is that because they are bound within the fence of such a country, even if they do a territory war, something like a massacre will not happen.
Even if we go to war, we do not fight to destroy the other side unconditionally.
But angels are different.
“I heard that the angels completely annihilate the hostile forces.
“Huh… Is that so?”
“I heard that they do not accept prisoners. Because it is such a situation, it is inevitable that there will be a backlash. Of course, those who have already passed on to the angels have been completely tainted by such tendencies of the angels.”
Under such circumstances, the aspect of war has no choice but to change.
It is literally an all-out war.
“A war like this… Honestly, I don’t know. I’ve never fought a war like that in my life as a knight. A war aimed only at the complete destruction and annihilation of the other side. I can’t believe it.”
Vanessa also seemed shocked.
“So why don’t we start getting to know you? First of all, we need to establish a strategy, so please tell us what you think.”
“I get it.”
So Vanessa’s explanation continued.
“It’s a siege.”
I was able to hear an explanation of the siege, but originally, it was said that staying in the castle was a pretty good strategy. If you stockpiled supplies, you can hold out until the enemy collapses or until reinforcements arrive.
But not after the angels came.
“I hear that the angels are bombing in the air. Once the angels settle down and start bombing, it seems they can’t hold out in the castle.”
“I guess so.”
Although the angels are slower than the pixies and have less attack speed, the attack range is much longer and the destructive power is extraordinary. In other words, they are howitzers capable of low-speed flight.
“Thus, Mercury cannot be an effective tactic… If you’re fighting the angelic forces, they say they’ll be aggressive rather than defensive. You can’t win by holding on.”
“Hmm. In that case, wouldn’t the angels be Mercury on the contrary?”
“No. The angels are obsessively trying to expand their power. They are still on the march.”
“Oh, is that so.”
To summarize:
Fighting with castles has almost disappeared. The war unfolds in the form of the anti-angel faction actively attacking the advancing angelic army.
“Usually we’ll fight on the road or on the plains.”
“Yes. As always, the cavalry plays the biggest role. Infantry squares… Are used, but the threat of annihilation is high when the angels come. They say that they are usually seen in open formation.”
“But that would make them vulnerable to cavalry charges.”
“I will have no choice but to endure it.”
I’m sure the angels will have an advantage.
The angels check the square with howitzer fire and push it away with cavalry charge. Only in this way can it be said that the moment it is operated defensively, it is a screw-up. Because of the existence of angels, you will see a loss from the beginning. To put it simply, there is no choice but to play teamfights with the penalty of not being able to form.
There is no choice but to launch an aggressive offensive unconditionally.
“This is the information I researched. The angels are so useful and powerful that it’s hard to beat them in the field. But I heard that because of the cruel actions of the angel faction, some deserters are forming.”
“You mean the situation is about 5:5?”
“If you look at it comprehensively, it will be about that.”
Having said that, Vanessa grinned.
“But don’t we have angel killers?”
“Yes. That’s right. If the angels had fun with bombing, well. We should have fun with aerial combat.”
To be honest, the pixies can’t do much against the armed enemy infantry. Not even efficient There are also many downsides. But when it comes to smashing slow angels, you can do it perfectly.
“I don’t think there will be much change in tactics.”
I’ll have to check and analyze more later to decide for sure, but I don’t think there’s a need to change the policy right now.
“If you take control of the air with Pixies, it will be safe to do dustproof. If you block the cavalry with it, well, it will be a power struggle from there.”
“That’s right. After seizing the right to supply, if you put in the reverse side, Ririel.”
“Angels just get what they get.”
“Heh, as expected, his head is working well. It hasn’t been long since he became a lord.”
Vanessa smiled happily and nodded his head. It’s funny because we’re talking about military things like this.
Hehe, that’s my ability.”
In that way, a military discussion with Vanessa continued.
“Still, what we desperately need is a human army to fight for strength. To be honest, I don’t want to push the members of the Devil’s Castle into a battlefield like that.”
Also need body bread. Well, I decided to act like the human lords, but I’m still a demon.
And my family is more important than other humans. My army will also wage war. However, damage should always be minimized.
It is enough for humans to suffer damage.
“I don’t want to sacrifice my family… Then I guess I have no choice but to sacrifice my allies instead.”
Vanessa said just that.
“That’s it.”
“If the pixies prove to be very effective against the angels, an army will assemble. Using them… Is entirely up to you.”
I nodded as I saw Vanessa staring at me.
“Of course. It’s my ability to do that.”
“Believe goes. Oh, but I would advise you to be careful not to be devoured by the gathered army of allies.”
“It’s okay, that’s it.”
Everything has a plan
“Because the saintess said that she had many young ladies who were ambitious. It was already over at the point where she was a military commander. She will take all of them and even devour her army.”
By swallowing up the ambitions of those young ladies, I will be reborn as a demon king.
“You’re a pervert! If you think anything is possible with sex, you’re wrong!”
“Of course. I don’t have such complacency either.”
Using the saintess as her bait, she gathers the young lady leading her army. After I raped the young lady I was attracted to and made it my own, it was enough to call in troops and exert influence on other military commanders.
* * *
“Demon King! That’s good news!”
While I was at work, Ririel came to me and said that.
“What happened?”
“The refugees have arrived!”
“Refugees?”
“Those who escaped from the tyranny of the angels! Sisters of the Goddess Church and defeated soldiers! And others!”
“Ohhh! Tell the saintess right away! Use their vivid testimonies!”
This is a great opportunity! Living witnesses who suffered great damage from angels! If they stand on the podium, they will be able to capture the public’s heart even more!
“Ah, the saintess told me to tell you that.”
“As expected, saintess!”
My head is running fine!
Done. This will further solidify that angels are very scary beings. But even the nuns came? Good night. Very good. When the refugees gather like this, the chance that the young ladies leading the army will come.
After taking control of the army of such young ladies, you can use the army made up of human soldiers for power struggles.
“Very good. It’s running well.”
You have to win and fight, you have to win. This place is a change room. A place that is difficult for enemies to attack. We must use that geographical advantage to reserve our strength.
You have to plan well.
We will actively use our strengths and weapons to win.
* * *
“Yes, yes! Cuckoo! The angels…! Those disgusting white-winged demons! They trampled and burned our village! They also blew up the Church of the Goddess Church! We barely escaped!”
“Don’t be fooled by their beauty!
“The purpose of the angels is to kill all humans who do not follow them!”
The vivid testimonies of refugees follow.
—-Oh, oh…!
—-It’s terrible!
ㅡI am so afraid!
The people gathered in the square were greatly afraid of the angels. Good night. This is a very good phenomenon. With fear, you can easily control it.
“Everyone had a lot of trouble…! Keuheuk!”
The saintess shed tears as she held the hands of the refugees.
“Those gathered in the plaza! Listen! If the angels come… We have no choice but to fight!”
Look at the charisma, that one.
He is a natural instigator.
“But! Some may be complacent that it wouldn’t hurt to swear obedience to an angel rather than fight!”
ㅡWho are you!
ㅡwooooo!
ㅡCrazy guys!
“But that’s how you become a slave yourself! You have to fight to not be a slave! Aren’t you! You guys are also men and women! You’d better fight than become someone’s slave!”
At the words of the saintess.
ㅡWaaaaa!
A cheer breaks out.
“You can’t choose between means and methods! In order to deal with the angels, you’ll have to increase your strength!”
With that, today’s meeting came to an end.
As soon as the saintess returned to the castle and saw me, she jumped like a puppy and hugged me.
“Did you see it!”
“Yes.”
“Huhuhu, how was it? Didn’t you do well?”
She, the saintess who had agitated the public until just a moment ago, was trembling in my arms. The gap is really big. She said as she stroked her hair anyway.
“Very well done. At this rate, we can naturally bring up the topic of ‘heterogeneous alliance’, right?”
“Of course! I’m making a plan to do that!”
As long as that is resolved, everything is ok.
Listening to the story now, it seemed that the elven kingdom was contemplating whether or not to intervene in angel-related affairs. Let’s just immerse ourselves in that kind of atmosphere.
The first ride is a Dark Elf.
By bringing up the word Dark Elf heterogeneous alliance, I will lead you to the story of the monster slave corps run by the Dark Elves.
In order to overthrow the evil angels, the other races also add their strength. This is so beautiful.
