Chapter 293

Aegir POV

Stick to defense around the harbor! Push them back until reinforcements arr ugyaah!

I stick a sword in the enemy commander and throw him into the river to shut him up .

The boss brought him down! We cant fall behind!

Hyahah~ Kill all who resist! Kill all those who run too!

As soon as I finish off the commander, the allied soldiers charge into the disoriented enemy lines .

They thrust up from below the enemys shields or sweep at the enemys feet to trip them when they bring their shields up .

Once the enemy falls down, they get stomped on or stabbed repeatedly from above .

The 105th division is doing everything they can to move forward so the enemy has no chance to reconstruct their formation, retreating from the harbor to the center of the city and even up to the city walls .

Set fire to the docked enemy ships . Destroy the harbor facilities too . Demolish everything .

Our main objective this time is not to defeat the army garrisoned in the city .

We are to prevent the enemy troops from landing their troops on the north coast by sealing off the city of Zabrela, so we will achieve our goal as long as we completely wipe out the ships and the harbor .

Crushing the enemy forces is secondary .

S-spare us, we surrender gyaaah!

Allies climb on the enemy ships and cut down the member after member of the ships crew who raise their hands up, then toss them in the river .

Either that or kicking them on the ship, sprinkling oil on it, and then setting it on fire with the crew still on board .

Seeing the indomitable 105th division, the soldiers from the other armies also increase their destructive activities .

P-please! Spare me, I dont want to die!

Keh, stupid Empire whore! Be good and die uwah, what are you doing!?

As a soldier was about to kill a female soldier pleading for her life, a soldier from the 105th division holds the allied soldier back .

The bosss orders were not to kill women . Were taking this one!

Boss, we got a girl!

The soldiers of the 105th division report to me carrying the female on one of their shoulders .

we totally look like pirates now . How did things become like this?

Celia holds her head in distress beside me . However my morale rises instantly .

Well done . But Ill kick your ass if you call me boss again .

I snap back as I grab the captured girl .

Shes trembling so much I feel bad for her . I guess Ill calm her down for now .

Drop your weapons here and stay back obediently . Everything will be fine, I absolutely wont treat you roughly .

I caress the womans cheek and give her a soft kiss .

In that moment, I happen to catch the image of an enemy swinging his sword at me reflected in the womans eyes .

Dont get in my way when Im talking to a woman .

I block his attack with my longsword and send him flying with a front kick .

Celia rushes in without delay and skillfully takes the head off of that enemy .

Hiiih

Relax . Youre a woman so you wont get hurt . Ill seduce you later so wait patiently .

After one more kiss and a brief fondling of her breasts, I separate from the woman .

When the fight is over, I have to seduce her, mount her, then pour my seed in her .

I have to end things quickly .

Everyone follow me, were going to throw the enemies out of the city all at once!

Lets go you guys! Follow the boss!

The 105th division army with me in the lead charge into the enemy and drive them out .

The other armies are using bows or ballistae and some are even setting up cannons .

However the most effective strategy right now when the enemy is running away should be an all-out attackin other words, a charge attack .

These damn pirates!

How rude of you regular army soldiers!

I tilt my body to one side to evade the spear thrust at me, then run past the enemy while slashing his midsection .

Some random savages!

Shut up!

The next spear thrust gave me less room to dodge than the first so I only tilt my head .

The tip grazes my cheek and draws blood, though I have no time to worry about that .

I spin my body, using the rotational energy with the swing of my longsword to lop off the head of the enemy .

Not yet I wont let you go past me .

The final soldier confronting me appears to be an Imperial knight donning a scarlet full plate armor .

I block the strike from his greatsword with the body of my sword . He has considerable strength .

Im returning the favor .

I swing my sword in a similar manner and the enemy blocks my attack with the blade of his weapon like I did .

Seeing the abnormal size of my sword, the knight slides his sword diagonally on impact to disperse the force of my slash .

What brute strength! Did I look down on him as a barbarian!?

Quiet, just die .

I turn my sword around and get ready to make an upward swing from the downward position .

The enemy hurries to parry the blow, except he was unsuccessful in diverting the force this time .

Guooh!

My longsword snaps his greatsword in two, then continues straight into the side of his body . The reason that wasnt a fatal injury was due to his metal full plate armor .

Guh impressive . But the battle has not been decided yet!

The knight abandons his broken greatsword and draws the one-handed sword at his waist .

No, its done .

Why did he think that a second attack would end the fight?

I quickly pull back the sword dug into the side of his abdomen and take one step back .

Obviously, it wasnt so I could glare at him, it was to put enough distance between us for a thrust .

Fuu!

The length of only the blade of my sword is two meters so it was almost like thrusting a spear .

Theres no way he could deal with my charging strike using a mere one-handed sword .

Gah

My sword sinks into the knights throat, tearing through two sheets of armor and then exiting the back of his neck .

The fountain of blood gushing out denoted my victory .

The general did it! He defeated the enemys boss! We won!

Yakov shouts loud enough for everyone to hear .

Well now, is this guy really the commander? I dont think he said anything of the sort .

Lets believe that is the case . Dressing so extravagantly in red makes him look like a commander, doesnt it?

Yakov whispers to me before roaring out victoriously .

Everyone in the 105th division has accepted the fact for now and cheers erupt .

The general did it! Its our win!

Mop up the remaining enemies! Take all the girls too!

The vigor of the allied soldiers increases drastically, leaving the enemies at a loss for what to do besides running away .

Wait, our commander is still alive! It was only the knight Morgman who got defeated! Dont run!

The Imperial commander desperately shouts at the soldiers however the momentum of battle cant be changed so easily once its been set in motion .

It wasnt purely the 105th division, all the other allied soldiers, holding a strong belief in their victory, began to mount a furious attack and chased the enemy soldiers out of Zabrela in no time .

For now, weve taken back the city . Whats next is the timing of our retreat .

After we ran the enemy out of the city, the other commanders and I gather in an inn temporarily designated as headquarters .

The ships and supplies have been taken care of . The facilities have been set on fire so there is no issues on our side . Now we have to block off the harbor

Taking the lead is this operations commander-in-chief, er his namewomanizer1 was it?

Its Commander Wolnasky, Aegir-sama .

Right, that Womanizer . Thanks Celia .

It just rolls right off the tongue . I think I might like being called that more than Hardlett .

At present, we are dismantling the surrounding residences and facilities and throwing the stone rubble into the harbor . Large ships wont be able to dock there by tomorrow .

They can bring more supplies and ships and rebuild everything with top speed construction .

But with the port destroyed, they cant restore it so easily .

We made it so Zabrela cant function as their home port .

With the harbor out of commission, we make arrangements to return to the north coast in little boats .

It will take longer since we cant use large ships so we have to make up the time by moving faster .

Lets go now . Do it while the fog is still thick, or else itll be too late when it clears .

Thats what I say, however commander Womanizer scowls .

No, that is certainly what we initially planned

Whats the problem?

As far as I know, there should not have been any impediments to the operation .

According to the initial plan, it was estimated that recapturing the city would take half a day and we would suffer a 20% loss to our total forces .

Something like that was said too, huh?

The reality is that it didnt take more than two hours to scatter the enemies and we suffered way short of 10% casualties .

That sounds like a fine result to me .

which means the enemy was weaker and had lower morale than we expected . Isnt it possible to not have to retreat and instead advance further until the south coast? If so, it may have been better if we didnt destroy Zabrelas harbor .

Thats

Yakov starts to open his mouth on reflex, then he suddenly goes quiet when stared at .

A landing army of 10 000 is a large enough force . Sure, it may not be enough to gain control of an entire region though

If the fog clears up, the enemy fleet will come back . We will then be isolated .

Umu, if they commence naval bombardment, we wont be able to hold out .

The other commanders complain anxiously, though Womanizer doesnt stop .

We seized a large amount of supplies from the enemy so we dont have to worry about getting our resupply cut off from White City for the time being . The naval bombardment wont particularly affect us either if we invade further towards the south coast .

Somehow it feels were trending in a bad direction .

To be honest, they should be several times more knowledgeable than me in terms of military tactics, but speaking from experience, there has never been a time where things went well after changing plans at the last moment .

So have we decided to alter initial plans following the destruction of the harbor and proceed to a decisive invasion towards the south coast?

Wouldnt that run contrary to the Supreme Commanders wishes?

Stessels orders were simply to wreck Zabrelas harbor .

My intentions are not to violate his orders . His Excellency has also ordered, besides destroying the city, to eliminate the nearby enemy army if possible . If the enemy is weaker than we expected, I think its better to aim for as much military gain as possible .

It feels like a convenient way to
