To completely become a Maou

[ Buhahahaha! Kent-sama, the construction of the garrison as a fortress is almost complete! If we get serious, it's like this, buhahaha, buhahahahaha! ]
[ Hmm ... is it over already ...? ]
[ It's almost completed. All that's left is for an earth-attribute mage to harden it and pour water into the moat. ]
[ Hmm ... OK, I'll go check it out later. ]
[ I understand. After consulting with Camilla, we decided to expand the strengthening of the river wall, so we will continue to work on it. If you need anything, call me at any time. ]
[ Hm ... I understand ... ]
[ Then, I'll go back to the construction, buhahaha, buhahahahaha! ]
Hmm ... I don't understand half of what he's saying, but the only thing I can say for sure is that it's still early in the morning.
If I don't do something about that high-tension skeleton, my sleep will be at risk.
Wait ... Aahhh, Meisa-chan's drooling attack today too ... Tohoho ...
Rubbing my sleeping eyes, I sat down at the breakfast table and talked about Reinhardt, and Meisa-chan, Amanda-san, and Meline-san burst out laughing.
Hey, Amanda-san, half of the story is about your daughter.
"Ahahaha ... Sorry, sorry, my bad. Kent's pajamas will be washed by Meisa, so please take them out later."
"Yes, then, I'm counting on you, Meisa-chan."
"Uuuh ... I get it ..."
Meisa-chan, who was red to her ears, pouted and reluctantly agreed to do the laundry.
Hey, Meisa-chan, you want to mofu Mart and the others, right? I wonder why she uses me as her pillow ...
After breakfast, I decided to head to Lastock for an inspection before Reinhardt's urging came.
I looked at the garrison from the opposite bank of the river, but it's totally a fortress.
A wall as high as the ramparts of Lastock rises up, and it seems that the earth-attribute magicians are working hard to cast hardening magic while hanging from ladders and ropes.
The fact that they dug enough soil to make that wall means that the moat is just as deep, right?
It would be nice if the earth-attribute magicians don't fall down ... Come to think of it, they said they'd expand the strengthening of the river wall ... No, seriously, please don't fall down.
[ How is it, Kent-sama? ]
"Aah ... yeah, somehow it's too amazing for words."
[ Buhahaha, it's an honor, buhahahaha! ]
"But, the fact that you've done construction on such a large scale means that the people of the city have seen all my genus. Are you okay?"
[ Everything's fine, but one of the knights, that cunning Paul, 'these people are troops of the Maou that accompanies Camilla-sama' ... So he said.]
"Aah, I see. If he says I'm Camilla's subordinate, the people will be relieved, and they'll be able to maintain their pride as knights."
[ Is it okay? ]
"It doesn't matter. I'm not interested in honor or anything like that, and it would be better if Camilla solidified her power base, while also acquiring their property and paying reparations."
[ As expected ... Kent-sama, you really have no greed. ]
Looking at Reinhardt, he has a disgusted expression on his face, I wonder if this part of me is unsatisfactory.
"By the way, Reinhardt, have you heard any movement from the Princes?"
[ We received a report from Basten last night. ]
"According to Basten's information, Kabasa Pass looks like the decisive battlefield, but how does Reinhardt see it?"
[ I also agree with Basten. For the Second Prince's faction, which is inferior in military strength, they probably don't want a decisive battle on the plains where a large army can be deployed. Considering the distance from Bamata in the Count Gleisner territory, Kabasa Pass should be the place where the Second Prince faction will be stationed. ]
"But, of course, the First Prince's faction knows that, right?"
[ That's right, if you think about it normally, you should be able to understand it. ]
"Isn't it like going out of your way to take damage if you rush into a place where you know what is waiting for you?"
[ If they go head-on, they will naturally suffer a lot of damage, so the First Prince's faction will probably come up with some sort of plan. ]
"What kind of plan is it?"
[ Currently, I don't know at this point. ]
It seems that if you think about it, you can think of any number of strategies, such as a method of overwhelming them from the front, a night attack, a sneak attack, etc.
[ In any case, the battle will not take place far from this Lastock, and Camilla is supposed to be in the First Prince's faction. Of course, there should be some kind of influence here as well. ]
"That's right. The Second Prince's faction probably thinks that they will pincered."
[ Exactly, but with regards to Lastock's strength, it will be enough to be cautious. ]
"Why is that?"
[ It's a matter of numbers. According to Basten's information, the force of the Second Prince's faction is approaching 20,000, even though it is inferior. They may be on guard against a surprise attack, but they probably don't expect to be challenged head-on. ]
"Eh, wait a minute, did you just say 20,000 people?"
[ Exactly, is something wrong? ]
Even though they said it would be a battle, I thought it would be about 1,000 people at most, so I was surprised at the number of orders of magnitude.
"Is there really that many people?"
[ Since it's Basten's information, I don't think there will be a big margin for error. ]
"20,000 people ... So, what about the First Prince?"
[ There should be more than 30,000 over there. ]
"30,000 people ... even though there are that many people, they aren't sending support to Lastock?"
[ That's how it is ... I have a hard time understanding it, but maybe they're only thinking about the throne at this point. ]
20,000 vs 30,000 people, if only 10%, or even 5% of them had been sent as support to Lastock, they might have been able to repel the horde of Minotaurs on their own.
"Really, that's so stupid ..."
[ I agree with you, but Kent-sama, if they clash at Kabasa Pass, there is a risk that it will lead to an even worse situation. ]
"A worse situation, do you mean that this place might also be attacked by the Second Prince's faction?"
[ No, it's not like that, but in the coming season, the wind that crosses the Kabasa Pass will blow down. If there is a battle, of course blood will flow, and the smell of it will be carried on the wind ... ]
"The monsters will be drawn."
[ That's right. If both armies were to become a melee, and if both sides were exhausted and monsters rushed in due to a maximum outbreak, both armies would be annihilated. The forces that are about to clash this time are the main forces of Resenburg's armies. If they were to be devastated, the only forces left would be the Knights Guard guarding the royal capital, the private soldiers of each territory, and the adventurers. ]
"That, isn't that a terrible situation?"
Reinhardt nodded strongly twice, three times.
[ If the current situation is grasped by the country across the desert, the Barshanian Empire, there is no guarantee that they won't cross the desert and invade at once. ]
"That means that if they don't do well, they'll lose Resenburg."
[ Just in case, I'm sending Fred to Barshania. He also visited Barshania during his lifetime, so it shouldn't take long to come and go. ]
I didn't even think that I would have to worry about the invasion from the neighboring country, even though my head hurts just from the battle for succession to the throne among the stupid princes.
"Are the First and Second Princes thinking about Barshania?"
[ Well, what do you think. I think you can understand it by looking at the force of the First Prince's faction, the army formations behind held in Drevis Dukedom Lauf, but right now it's still indescribable ... ]
If the First Prince's faction, that is, the western military strength of Resenburg, is divided into the eastern part and the western part that is held back, it seems that it will be proof that they are keeping an eye on the invasion of Barshania.
If the entire force were to be directed to the east, and if news reached Barshania, and Barshania was preparing to invade ... Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.
"Okay, let's spread rumors."
[ Barshania is coming to attack ... Something like that? ]
"Yeah, if that's the case, won't the First Prince's faction also prepare?"
[ Unfortunately, it is difficult. In the western part of Resenburg, such rumors have been circulating from time immemorial, so even if we were to spread rumors, we wouldn't be able to expect them to have any effect. ]
"Is that so? That's no good ..."
[ Some of these rumors are said to have been spread by Barshania themselves. ]
"Eh, why? Ah! I see, because if they spread rumors and then don't attack them, people won't believe the rumors?"
[ That's right. Therefore, the invasion from Barshania cannot be trusted unless it comes from a very reliable source. ]
Just listening to the story, I somehow felt that the country of Barshania was a tricky opponent.
"Has Barshania attacked them many times before?"
[ When we were alive, they never attacked us. I don't know what happened after that, but it seems that there was a fierce battle before we were born. ]
"Is that a reason why I should come here frequently?"
[ Well, it would be better to check with Camilla about that. However, if Barshania comes to attack them, they will definitely attack them in earnest. ]
"Is there some reason for that?"
[ It's the desert. Especially from now on, the west wind will blow. Strong westerly winds create dust storms that impede visibility. If they use them wisely, they can hide their appearance and attack, but if they encounter them while trying to escape, it will become a wall that stands in their way. ]
"In other words, if they attack halfway, there is a high chance that they will be annihilated without escaping."
[ That's right. If civil war, the maximum outbreak, and Barshania's invasion overlap at once, Resenburg could be destroyed. ]
The battle between the First Prince and the Second Prince is 30,000 vs 20,000.
If Barshania were to attack, they would also come in tens of thousands.
No matter how strong my genus are, if we hit them head-on, there will definitely be a lot of damage.
Until now, all my genus have been working hard, but I got carried away and completely miscalculated.
If you think about it, it's a battle that divides the country in two, so it wouldn't be strange if it turned out to be a clash of tens of thousands of forces.
If we don't take fundamental measures, we might be wiped out.
[ Is something wrong, Kent-sama? ]
"No, all my genus are powerful, but against an army of tens of thousands ..."
[ There is nothing to worry about. Whether it's the First Prince's faction, the Second Prince's faction, or Barshania, let's kick them all over. ]
"No, no, Reinhardt and the others are strong, but no matter what, if you go head-on against an army of 10,000 units ..."
[ In that case, it would be better if we don't hit from the front. ]
"Eh ...?"
[ Kent-sama, thanks to being Kent-sama's genus, we can move freely in the shadows. It's possible to appear directly behind the enemy or from directly below. No matter how many tens of thousands of troops they have, they can't assume that the enemy will appear from the center of their allies. If we go wild as much as we wish, all we have to do is pull out quickly. Even if tens of thousands of enemies come, there is nothing to be afraid of. ]
I finally remembered when I saw Reinhardt wearing a fearless grin.
Our greatest strength is that we can appear from anywhere and disappear from anywhere.
"I see ... that's right. We should fight by making the most of our strengths. Uh-huh ..."
[ Buhahaha, Kent-sama, you seem to have come up with something. ]
"Yeah, no matter what kind of army they are, let's kick them out. Of course, we'll finish the battle unscathed."
[ Buhahaha, as expected of Kent-sama, you can feel the personality of a Maou. ]
"Now, if I'm called Maou, Maou, I have no choice but to be thorough."
[ Buhahaha, then, as the army of Maou-sama, let us unleash a ferocious attack. ]
When I moved to the garrison commander's room with Reinhardt smiling happily, Camilla had just finished listening to a report from someone who seemed to be a messenger and had a difficult expression on her face.
"You've had a hard time, thank you for letting me know. Go back and rest."
"Yes, thank you very much."
Seeing off the messenger, Camilla sighed and held her head.
"Haa ... What are they doing in this emergency? The country will really perish ..."
"Is it news from the royal capital?"
As usual, I relaxed on the sofa and called out to her, and Camilla looked up as if she was repelled.
"Maou-sama! Yes, just now, I received news that Alphonse-nii and Bernst-nii have both started moving on horseback from teh royal capital. Nominally, it's support for Lastock, but perhaps ..."
"Yeah, I know. I think Kabasa Pass is going to be a battlefield ..."
"Why do you know that ... No, if you're Maou-sama, it wouldn't be strange if you knew."
With a surprised, yet satisfied look on her face, Camilla ordered the secretary to make some tea and sat down across from me.(TN:Maybe I should have translated it as attendant not secretary ...)
"Thanks to Maou-sama, we have a chance to protect the residents of Lastock. Thank you very much."
"What are you talking about? The construction hasn't finished yet, and it's not a situation to relax, right?"
"Ha, that's right. I'm sorry."
"Did you come up with an evacuation plan for the residents?"
"Yes, in the event of a maximum outbreak, an alarm bell will be rung to call for residents to evacuate, and a carriage will be dispatched from the edge of the city."
"Does it properly cover elderly people who find it difficult and to evacuate, and the households with young children?"
"Yes, I made a list of residents, and at the same time, the person who operates the carriage checked it, I also made it possible for the residents to cooperate with each other."
I threw it all to Gert and the others, but it seems that they have created a proper evacuation mechanism.
I just gave them instructions yesterday, so they must be excellent.
"Yeah, that's fine. All that's left is to finish the construction."
"Yes, but the movements of my stupid brothers ..."
"We are still gathering information, but Diethelm seems to be accompanying them."
"What! That's impossible, there's no way my brother will be able to serve in the army. Alphonse-nii, do you intend to kill my brother?"
Hearing that Diethelm was accompanying them, Camilla instinctively lifted her head.
"Hm ... I don't really know, but if he's just going to serve in the army, he'll be fine. Last time, I poured the power of darness into him."
"Eh ... that, even my brother ..."
"I made him submit, but it's not like I made him my genus. For now, he's still from this world."
"Haa ... Thank you very much. Then, how is my brother?"
"There is no problem, but I told Diethelm to pretend to be sick."
"Is there a reason for that?"
"Yeah, Diethelm seems to have been poisoned ..."
"What! To poison the royal family ..."
This time, Camila rose to her feet like a spring-loaded doll.
"Aah ... Don't make a fuss, sit down."
"Ha, I'm sorry. But ..."
"I'm looking for the mastermind, but it's either the First Prince or the Second Prince anyway. There's no change to the opponent who will eventually be crushed."
"Maou-sama, are you really going to make my brother King?"
"That's right, the First Prince is selfish, indecisive and nervous, and the Second and Third Princes are out of the question, and Camilla, you will be punished eventually, so only Diethelm will be left."
"Umm ... Celia is ..."
"She said she wasn't interested in the throne at all. Come to think of it, what happened with Celia's mother?"
"Yes, I sent a message together with the follow-up report concerning the Minotaurs by a fast horse. Although there are only a few people in the royal capital, there are people under my control, so I instructed them to bring her here."
"Fine, then let's get to today's main topic."
"Yes, please tell me."
I started talking about the apology to Camilla, who tightened her expression even more.
"An apology ... are you sure?"
"Yeah, an apology. You apologize to everyone to whom you caused trouble with the summoning."
"So, you're sending me to Volzard. I have to hurry and select a guard knight ..."
"Ah, no, I'll shoot a video of the apology here, so you don't have to think about moving."
"Yes ... Um, shooting is ..."
"Ah ... I see, hm ... It's faster to show than to explain, isn't it?"
I took out the tablet that I had packed up for myself from the shadow storage and turned it on.
"Wha ... what kind of magic tool is that?"
"This? This is a tablet, and it's a tool for processing various information. It's a machine that runs on electricity, not magic."
"So, that's a tool from Maou-sama's world?"
"Yeah, that's right ... Then, let's try it for a moment. Can you look at me and briefly introduce yourself?"
I turned on the camera on the tablet and started shooting a video.
"Umm ... I'm Camilla Resenburg, the Third Princess of Resenburg and a loyal servant of Maou-sama."
"Yes ... That's pretty stiff, but it's a test video so it's okay."
I interrupted the recording and showed the screen to Camilla while playing back the footage that had just been shot.
[ Umm ... I'm Camilla Resenburg, the Third Princess of Resenburg and a loyal servant of Maou-sama. ]
"Wow! What on earth is this ... maybe my soul is sealed ..."
"It won't. That's because it's technology that converts light into signals and records them."
"Light as a signal ... is it?"
"Yes, the scenery we can see is what we see with our eyes as they catch the reflection of light that hits objects. This has a built-in camera that plays the same role as our eyes, and can record the images it takes. I can't seal your soul just by doing something like that."
"I, is that so ..."
From the side of Camilla, who is wide-eyed, Reinhardt is also peering at it with great interest.
When I played it again, both of them trembled in surprise.
"Since I can carry around the filmed data, I will shoot a video of the apology just like now and bring it to Volzard and Japan, my original world. So, please think of an official apology as the Third Princess of Resenburg."
"Yes, as you wish."
"Ah, by the way, calling me Maou-sama is prohibited."
"Huh? Why is that."
"Yeah, since the video I shoot will be seen by various people, it's inconvenient if my existence is not treated as one of the summoned people."
"However, as for Maou-sama ..."
"Because it's an order. Maou-sama is prohibited. Treat me on the same level as everyone else."
"Yes, as you wish."
Yeah, why are you so dissatisfied.
"Of course, the summoned people, their families, the people who died under the collapsed school building due to the summoning, the injured people, their families, and the people of Japan who have been caused trouble. Please think of a comment that offers a sincere, heartfelt apology."
"Yes, as you wish."
"After shooting, I'll have my friends in Volzard check it, and if it doesn't work, I'll retake it as many times as needed."
"Yes, as you wish ..."
"Then, hurry up and finish the fort ..."
"Yes, eeh ... Um, Maou-sama, are you going home?"
I told her to think of an apology comment, but when I was about to leave, Camilla hurriedly stopped me.
"Yeah, I'm done with my errands, so I'm going home, but ..."
"Um, what should I do about those foolish brothers ..."
"Yeah, we'll defeat them, so it's okay."
"However, Alphonse-nii's force will exceed 30,000, and Bernst-nii's force should be around 20,000 ..."
"So it seems. I'm going to defeat them together."
"Is that true? Um, but if they were all killed ..."
"Aah, Barshania?"
"Yes, if there are no more soldiers in Resenburg, and the Barshanian Empire attacks ..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll kick them out, so don't worry. I'm the Maou."
Leaving the stunned Camilla behind, I dove in the shadows while waving my hand.
Actually, I'm not without anxiety, but I tried to look cool for a moment.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

[ Is something wrong, Kent-sama? ]
"No, all my genus are powerful, but against an army of tens of thousands ..."
[ There is nothing to worry about. Whether it's the First Prince's faction, the Second Prince's faction, or Barshania, let's kick them all over. ]
"No, no, Reinhardt and the others are strong, but no matter what, if you go head-on against an army of 10,000 units ..."
[ In that case, it would be better if we don't hit from the front. ]
"Eh ...?"
[ Kent-sama, thanks to being Kent-sama's genus, we can move freely in the shadows. It's possible to appear directly behind the enemy or from directly below. No matter how many tens of thousands of troops they have, they can't assume that the enemy will appear from the center of their allies. If we go wild as much as we wish, all we have to do is pull out quickly. Even if tens of thousands of enemies come, there is nothing to be afraid of. ]
I finally remembered when I saw Reinhardt wearing a fearless grin.
Our greatest strength is that we can appear from anywhere and disappear from anywhere.
"I see ... that's right. We should fight by making the most of our strengths. Uh-huh ..."
[ Buhahaha, Kent-sama, you seem to have come up with something. ]
"Yeah, no matter what kind of army they are, let's kick them out. Of course, we'll finish the battle unscathed."
[ Buhahaha, as expected of Kent-sama, you can feel the personality of a Maou. ]
"Now, if I'm called Maou, Maou, I have no choice but to be thorough."
[ Buhahaha, then, as the army of Maou-sama, let us unleash a ferocious attack. ]
When I moved to the garrison commander's room with Reinhardt smiling happily, Camilla had just finished listening to a report from someone who seemed to be a messenger and had a difficult expression on her face.
"You've had a hard time, thank you for letting me know. Go back and rest."
"Yes, thank you very much."
Seeing off the messenger, Camilla sighed and held her head.
"Haa ... What are they doing in this emergency? The country will really perish ..."
"Is it news from the royal capital?"
As usual, I relaxed on the sofa and called out to her, and Camilla looked up as if she was repelled.
"Maou-sama! Yes, just now, I received news that Alphonse-nii and Bernst-nii have both started moving on horseback from teh royal capital. Nominally, it's support for Lastock, but perhaps ..."
"Yeah, I know. I think Kabasa Pass is going to be a battlefield ..."
"Why do you know that ... No, if you're Maou-sama, it wouldn't be strange if you knew."
With a surprised, yet satisfied look on her face, Camilla ordered the secretary to make some tea and sat down across from me.(TN:Maybe I should have translated it as attendant not secretary ...)
"Thanks to Maou-sama, we have a chance to protect the residents of Lastock. Thank you very much."
"What are you talking about? The construction hasn't finished yet, and it's not a situation to relax, right?"
"Ha, that's right. I'm sorry."
"Did you come up with an evacuation plan for the residents?"
"Yes, in the event of a maximum outbreak, an alarm bell will be rung to call for residents to evacuate, and a carriage will be dispatched from the edge of the city."
"Does it properly cover elderly people who find it difficult and to evacuate, and the households with young children?"
"Yes, I made a list of residents, and at the same time, the person who operates the carriage checked it, I also made it possible for the residents to cooperate with each other."
I threw it all to Gert and the others, but it seems that they have created a proper evacuation mechanism.
I just gave them instructions yesterday, so they must be excellent.
"Yeah, that's fine. All that's left is to finish the construction."
"Yes, but the movements of my stupid brothers ..."
"We are still gathering information, but Diethelm seems to be accompanying them."
"What! That's impossible, there's no way my brother will be able to serve in the army. Alphonse-nii, do you intend to kill my brother?"
Hearing that Diethelm was accompanying them, Camilla instinctively lifted her head.
"Hm ... I don't really know, but if he's just going to serve in the army, he'll be fine. Last time, I poured the power of darness into him."
"Eh ... that, even my brother ..."
"I made him submit, but it's not like I made him my genus. For now, he's still from this world."
"Haa ... Thank you very much. Then, how is my brother?"
"There is no problem, but I told Diethelm to pretend to be sick."
"Is there a reason for that?"
"Yeah, Diethelm seems to have been poisoned ..."
"What! To poison the royal family ..."
This time, Camila rose to her feet like a spring-loaded doll.
"Aah ... Don't make a fuss, sit down."
"Ha, I'm sorry. But ..."
"I'm looking for the mastermind, but it's either the First Prince or the Second Prince anyway. There's no change to the opponent who will eventually be crushed."
"Maou-sama, are you really going to make my brother King?"
"That's right, the First Prince is selfish, indecisive and nervous, and the Second and Third Princes are out of the question, and Camilla, you will be punished eventually, so only Diethelm will be left."
"Umm ... Celia is ..."
"She said she wasn't interested in the throne at all. Come to think of it, what happened with Celia's mother?"
"Yes, I sent a message together with the follow-up report concerning the Minotaurs by a fast horse. Although there are only a few people in the royal capital, there are people under my control, so I instructed them to bring her here."
"Fine, then let's get to today's main topic."
"Yes, please tell me."
I started talking about the apology to Camilla, who tightened her expression even more.
"An apology ... are you sure?"
"Yeah, an apology. You apologize to everyone to whom you caused trouble with the summoning."
"So, you're sending me to Volzard. I have to hurry and select a guard knight ..."
"Ah, no, I'll shoot a video of the apology here, so you don't have to think about moving."
"Yes ... Um, shooting is ..."
"Ah ... I see, hm ... It's faster to show than to explain, isn't it?"
I took out the tablet that I had packed up for myself from the shadow storage and turned it on.
"Wha ... what kind of magic tool is that?"
"This? This is a tablet, and it's a tool for processing various information. It's a machine that runs on electricity, not magic."
"So, that's a tool from Maou-sama's world?"
"Yeah, that's right ... Then, let's try it for a moment. Can you look at me and briefly introduce yourself?"
I turned on the camera on the tablet and started shooting a video.
"Umm ... I'm Camilla Resenburg, the Third Princess of Resenburg and a loyal servant of Maou-sama."
"Yes ... That's pretty stiff, but it's a test video so it's okay."
I interrupted the recording and showed the screen to Camilla while playing back the footage that had just been shot.
[ Umm ... I'm Camilla Resenburg, the Third Princess of Resenburg and a loyal servant of Maou-sama. ]
"Wow! What on earth is this ... maybe my soul is sealed ..."
"It won't. That's because it's technology that converts light into signals and records them."
"Light as a signal ... is it?"
"Yes, the scenery we can see is what we see with our eyes as they catch the reflection of light that hits objects. This has a built-in camera that plays the same role as our eyes, and can record the images it takes. I can't seal your soul just by doing something like that."
"I, is that so ..."
From the side of Camilla, who is wide-eyed, Reinhardt is also peering at it with great interest.
When I played it again, both of them trembled in surprise.
"Since I can carry around the filmed data, I will shoot a video of the apology just like now and bring it to Volzard and Japan, my original world. So, please think of an official apology as the Third Princess of Resenburg."
"Yes, as you wish."
"Ah, by the way, calling me Maou-sama is prohibited."
"Huh? Why is that."
"Yeah, since the video I shoot will be seen by various people, it's inconvenient if my existence is not treated as one of the summoned people."
"However, as for Maou-sama ..."
"Because it's an order. Maou-sama is prohibited. Treat me on the same level as everyone else."
"Yes, as you wish."
Yeah, why are you so dissatisfied.
"Of course, the summoned people, their families, the people who died under the collapsed school building due to the summoning, the injured people, their families, and the people of Japan who have been caused trouble. Please think of a comment that offers a sincere, heartfelt apology."
"Yes, as you wish."
"After shooting, I'll have my friends in Volzard check it, and if it doesn't work, I'll retake it as many times as needed."
"Yes, as you wish ..."
"Then, hurry up and finish the fort ..."
"Yes, eeh ... Um, Maou-sama, are you going home?"
I told her to think of an apology comment, but when I was about to leave, Camilla hurriedly stopped me.
"Yeah, I'm done with my errands, so I'm going home, but ..."
"Um, what should I do about those foolish brothers ..."
"Yeah, we'll defeat them, so it's okay."
"However, Alphonse-nii's force will exceed 30,000, and Bernst-nii's force should be around 20,000 ..."
"So it seems. I'm going to defeat them together."
"Is that true? Um, but if they were all killed ..."
"Aah, Barshania?"
"Yes, if there are no more soldiers in Resenburg, and the Barshanian Empire attacks ..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll kick them out, so don't worry. I'm the Maou."
Leaving the stunned Camilla behind, I dove in the shadows while waving my hand.
Actually, I'm not without anxiety, but I tried to look cool for a moment.
To completely become a Maou***---*** Buhahahaha! Kent-sama, the construction of the garrison as a fortress is almost complete! If we get serious, it's like this, buhahaha, buhahahahaha! Hmm ... is it over already ...? It's almost completed. All that's left is for an earth-attribute mage to harden it and pour water into the moat. Hmm ... OK, I'll go check it out later. I understand. After consulting with Camilla, we decided to expand the strengthening of the river wall, so we will continue to work on it. If you need anything, call me at any time. Hm ... I understand ... Then, I'll go back to the construction, buhahaha, buhahahahaha! Hmm ... I don't understand half of what he's saying, but the only thing I can say for sure is that it's still early in the morning.If I don't do something about that high-tension skeleton, my sleep will be at risk.Wait ... Aahhh, Meisa-chan's drooling attack today too ... Tohoho ...Rubbing my sleeping eyes, I sat down at the breakfast table and talked about Reinhardt, and Meisa-chan, Amanda-san, and Meline-san burst out laughing.Hey, Amanda-san, half of the story is about your daughter."Ahahaha ... Sorry, sorry, my bad. Kent's pajamas will be washed by Meisa, so please take them out later.""Yes, then, I'm counting on you, Meisa-chan.""Uuuh ... I get it ..."Meisa-chan, who was red to her ears, pouted and reluctantly agreed to do the laundry.Hey, Meisa-chan, you want to mofu Mart and the others, right? I wonder why she uses me as her pillow ...After breakfast, I decided to head to Lastock for an inspection before Reinhardt's urging came.I looked at the garrison from the opposite bank of the river, but it's totally a fortress.A wall as high as the ramparts of Lastock rises up, and it seems that the earth-attribute magicians are working hard to cast hardening magic while hanging from ladders and ropes.The fact that they dug enough soil to make that wall means that the moat is just as deep, right?It would be nice if the earth-attribute magicians don't fall down ... Come to think of it, they said they'd expand the strengthening of the river wall ... No, seriously, please don't fall down. How is it, Kent-sama? "Aah ... yeah, somehow it's too amazing for words." Buhahaha, it's an honor, buhahahaha! "But, the fact that you've done construction on such a large scale means that the people of the city have seen all my genus. Are you okay?" Everything's fine, but one of the knights, that cunning Paul, 'these people are troops of the Maou that accompanies Camilla-sama' ... So he said."Aah, I see. If he says I'm Camilla's subordinate, the people will be relieved, and they'll be able to maintain their pride as knights." Is it okay? "It doesn't matter. I'm not interested in honor or anything like that, and it would be better if Camilla solidified her power base, while also acquiring their property and paying reparations." As expected ... Kent-sama, you really have no greed. Looking at Reinhardt, he has a disgusted expression on his face, I wonder if this part of me is unsatisfactory."By the way, Reinhardt, have you heard any movement from the Princes?" We received a report from Basten last night. "According to Basten's information, Kabasa Pass looks like the decisive battlefield, but how does Reinhardt see it?" I also agree with Basten. For the Second Prince's faction, which is inferior in military strength, they probably don't want a decisive battle on the plains where a large army can be deployed. Considering the distance from Bamata in the Count Gleisner territory, Kabasa Pass should be the place where the Second Prince faction will be stationed. "But, of course, the First Prince's faction knows that, right?" That's right, if you think about it normally, you should be able to understand it. "Isn't it like going out of your way to take damage if you rush into a place where you know what is waiting for you?" If they go head-on, they will naturally suffer a lot of damage, so the First Prince's faction will probably come up with some sort of plan. "What kind of plan is it?" Currently, I don't know at this point. It seems that if you think about it, you can think of any number of strategies, such as a method of overwhelming them from the front, a night attack, a sneak attack, etc. In any case, the battle will not take place far from this Lastock, and Camilla is supposed to be in the First Prince's faction. Of course, there should be some kind of influence here as well. "That's right. The Second Prince's faction probably thinks that they will pincered." Exactly, but with regards to Lastock's strength, it will be enough to be cautious. "Why is that?" It's a matter of numbers. According to Basten's information, the force of the Second Prince's faction is approaching 20,000, even though it is inferior. They may be on guard against a surprise attack, but they probably don't expect to be challenged head-on. "Eh, wait a minute, did you just say 20,000 people?" Exactly, is something wrong? Even though they said it would be a battle, I thought it would be about 1,000 people at most, so I was surprised at the number of orders of magnitude."Is there really that many people?" Since it's Basten's information, I don't think there will be a big margin for error. "20,000 people ... So, what about the First Prince?" There should be more than 30,000 over there. "30,000 people ... even though there are that many people, they aren't sending support to Lastock?" That's how it is ... I have a hard time understanding it, but maybe they're only thinking about the throne at this point. 20,000 vs 30,000 people, if only 10%, or even 5% of them had been sent as support to Lastock, they might have been able to repel the horde of Minotaurs on their own."Really, that's so stupid ..." I agree with you, but Kent-sama, if they clash at Kabasa Pass, there is a risk that it will lead to an even worse situation. "A worse situation, do you mean that this place might also be attacked by the Second Prince's faction?" No, it's not like that, but in the coming season, the wind that crosses the Kabasa Pass will blow down. If there is a battle, of course blood will flow, and the smell of it will be carried on the wind ... "The monsters will be drawn." That's right. If both armies were to become a melee, and if both sides were exhausted and monsters rushed in due to a maximum outbreak, both armies would be annihilated. The forces that are about to clash this time are the main forces of Resenburg's armies. If they were to be devastated, the only forces left would be the Knights Guard guarding the royal capital, the private soldiers of each territory, and the adventurers. "That, isn't that a terrible situation?"Reinhardt nodded strongly twice, three times. If the current situation is grasped by the country across the desert, the Barshanian Empire, there is no guarantee that they won't cross the desert and invade at once. "That means that if they don't do well, they'll lose Resenburg." Just in case, I'm sending Fred to Barshania. He also visited Barshania during his lifetime, so it shouldn't take long to come and go. I didn't even think that I would have to worry about the invasion from the neighboring country, even though my head hurts just from the battle for succession to the throne among the stupid princes."Are the First and Second Princes thinking about Barshania?" Well, what do you think. I think you can understand it by looking at the force of the First Prince's faction, the army formations behind held in Drevis Dukedom Lauf, but right now it's still indescribable ... If the First Prince's faction, that is, the western military strength of Resenburg, is divided into the eastern part and the western part that is held back, it seems that it will be proof that they are keeping an eye on the invasion of Barshania.If the entire force were to be directed to the east, and if news reached Barshania, and Barshania was preparing to invade ... Just thinking about it makes my head hurt."Okay, let's spread rumors." Barshania is coming to attack ... Something like that? "Yeah, if that's the case, won't the First Prince's faction also prepare?" Unfortunately, it is difficult. In the western part of Resenburg, such rumors have been circulating from time immemorial, so even if we were to spread rumors, we wouldn't be able to expect them to have any effect. "Is that so? That's no good ..." Some of these rumors are said to have been spread by Barshania themselves. "Eh, why? Ah! I see, because if they spread rumors and then don't attack them, people won't believe the rumors?" That's right. Therefore, the invasion from Barshania cannot be trusted unless it comes from a very reliable source. Just listening to the story, I somehow felt that the country of Barshania was a tricky opponent."Has Barshania attacked them many times before?" When we were alive, they never attacked us. I don't know what happened after that, but it seems that there was a fierce battle before we were born. "Is that a reason why I should come here frequently?" Well, it would be better to check with Camilla about that. However, if Barshania comes to attack them, they will definitely attack them in earnest. "Is there some reason for that?" It's the desert. Especially from now on, the west wind will blow. Strong westerly winds create dust storms that impede visibility. If they use them wisely, they can hide their appearance and attack, but if they encounter them while trying to escape, it will become a wall that stands in their way. "In other words, if they attack halfway, there is a high chance that they will be annihilated without escaping." That's right. If civil war, the maximum outbreak, and Barshania's invasion overlap at once, Resenburg could be destroyed. The battle between the First Prince and the Second Prince is 30,000 vs 20,000.If Barshania were to attack, they would also come in tens of thousands.No matter how strong my genus are, if we hit them head-on, there will definitely be a lot of damage.Until now, all my genus have been working hard, but I got carried away and completely miscalculated.If you think about it, it's a battle that divides the country in two, so it wouldn't be strange if it turned out to be a clash of tens of thousands of forces.If we don't take fundamental measures, we might be wiped out. Is something wrong, Kent-sama? "No, all my genus are powerful, but against an army of tens of thousands ..." There is nothing to worry about. Whether it's the First Prince's faction, the Second Prince's faction, or Barshania, let's kick them all over. "No, no, Reinhardt and the others are strong, but no matter what, if you go head-on against an army of 10,000 units ..." In that case, it would be better if we don't hit from the front. "Eh ...?" Kent-sama, thanks to being Kent-sama's genus, we can move freely in the shadows. It's possible to appear directly behind the enemy or from directly below. No matter how many tens of thousands of troops they have, they can't assume that the enemy will appear from the center of their allies. If we go wild as much as we wish, all we have to do is pull out quickly. Even if tens of thousands of enemies come, there is nothing to be afraid of.
