“............”
“......... I am speechless......”
There are two people standing dumbfounded watching the scene unfolding before them.
One of them is the commanding officer of Tosuminia army, Shery Milz. She is a woman knight with short haircut that gives the impression of her being an active girl.
The other one is the commanding officer of Ezemeria army, Carlos McKeib. This man’s appearance is indeed that of a mercenary. Starting from his get up, his body is covered in muscle, his skin tanned, and various scar could be seen all over his body. Added with his big frame, his appearance is indeed that of a veteran with rich experience.
But although both of them had already experienced their own fair share of war, they have never seen one that is far too one-sided like this.
Overwhelming?
That word doesn’t even come close to this.
With only 6 people, they can fight force of few hundreds and rout them in no time at all. The two commanding officers don’t have any word that could describe that situation perfectly.
In the center of the 6 is one man.
He is a young man with never seen before black hair.
The moment that man stands in the battlefield, the adversity that had been putting Ezemeria in the disadvantage got pushed back in one breath.
◇
“I see, so Tosuminia had finally make their move”
Ezemeria commanding officer, Carlos, is exaggerating his gratefulness when the reinforcement finally comes.
After Renya and his party managed to catch up with the Tosuminia detachment army that had gone already, they followed the army to march inside Ezemeria territory for a few days until they reach the encampment fortress that is just a stride away from their capital city.
This fortress that blocked up a valley is literally the last defensive line. After all, Ezemeria capital is right behind it. The mountain road isn’t that harsh that it would hinder an army marching so it can’t be depended on as a natural fortress. So in conclusion, if the enemy managed to get pass this fortress, then that is the same as having Ezemeria capital fallen to the enemy’s hand.
The present war front is actually still not reached the fortress yet but according to Renya’s prediction, it would eventually come.
After all, the flame of war has spread extensively to even reach out the place they can see in the time they take to merge the army.
After finishing the task regarding correspondence and exchange between the two kingdoms, and after finishing another simple meeting, Tosuminia army’s commanding officer, Shery, immediately put her full attention to the war front under her eyes.
She is just a girl in her twenties yet the kingdom has already entrust her as a commander of an army. Not only she is talented, her ability with the sword is great but she is best at using spear to charge the enemy while riding. It is said that she is the best knight in Tosuminia regarding that. From a glance, her body is just the normal feminine slim body so Renya is wondering how could she have enough strength to do so and it appears that she had mastered a kind of martial arts where she mixed body strengthening magic in her fighting style.
The lithe and flexibility of a woman body combined with raw power from magic that would even put a man to shame. Those two factors successfully push her up into the top of the knight.
After the managerial job finished, The alliance army of Tosuminia and Ezemeria would depart to meet up with the vanguard unit that is desperately trying to repel the invasion from the black knights but at that time…
“We can’t just squander our fighting power here so just leave this problem to us”
With that one word, Renya bring along the women accompanying him and leisurely walk out to the frontline.
Shery and Carlos of course think that they had lost their mind. The only one who knows the party’s true power in this place, Eugene, just stand in place silently to watch over their battle.
And then with the bizarre war unfolded before the two commanders, the scene that happened at the beginning of the chapter is now connected.
There is one silver haired girl who brings with her a shining spear with which she blows away the black knight unit.
There is one blonde magician girl who force the disordered black knight unit into frozen coffin.
There is one girl with hemp colored hair who wield her halberd with inhuman strength.
There is one girl with chestnut colored hair who shot out bullet of light which would extinguish the black knight one by one in a stable manner.
There is another girl with chestnut colored hair who dances in the middle of the battlefield dual wielding sword in each hand, like a line of shining silver cutting across the dark night, she leaves countless slash line everywhere she went.
Those girls is already outrageous enough that even the soldiers of both sides get dumbfounded from witnessing the scene but the young man who is in the center of the girls is even more difficult to describe with words.
When he swings his sword casually, adversaries will scatter.
When he throws his spear, one army will be skewered.
When he smash down his axe, enemy and the ground alike will be overturned.
Others might even mistake the phenomenon unfolded in the battlefield as natural disaster.
Because of the appearance of those lump of absurdness and the calamity that brought by them, The desperate vanguard unit that had continued having hard fight one after another and even having prepared to meet their death feel an unspeakable anti-climatic feeling as those absurdity managed to repulse their predicament easily.
Together with all the black knight eliminated, the war situation is also decided. Against the veteran mercenary from Ezemeria, Faskurn army who go out to war in the mindset of winning the battle with borrowed hand of course could not stand a chance.
Having grasped the advantage in the war, the alliance army keep pushing through the frontline until they managed to recover their fortress in the border.
The Faskurn war frontline keep getting pushed back in a few days and it even reach the outer side of the border.
The abnormal speed of the army invasion could hardly be described as a ‘mere’ blitz war anymore. Even both kings of Tosuminia and Ezemeria asked whether the report sent back to them was a joke or not. Of course, that was after they both got dumbfounded for a while by the news.
But that thing, the thing that even people directly related to it consider as something out of a fairy tale, is actually happened. It is real.
Thanks to Renya’s party work, the disadvantageous war instantly turned into an advantageous one. Especially to Ezemeria where they go from almost getting their capital surrounded to reversely surrounding Faskurn capital instead.
When the army made their encampment located inside Faskurn territory and with Faskurn capital just sitting there in front of their eyes, Carlos just got exhilarated.
‘DAHAHA! It was 30 years ago when I first became a mercenary and I have experienced many kinds of battle before but never once I have experienced a battle where I go from absolute disadvantage to absolute advantage! Ah, the feelin is great I tell you!
In the large tent that is reserved for commander’s use, Carlos is inviting Renya’s party for a strategy meeting.
From the intelligence that the scout gathered, Faskurn side is eerily quiet. The army had tried to send their diplomats to suggest them to surrender but the capital city’s gate kept shut like it rejects any visitor.
The army could simply just forcefully break down the gate and conquer the city and royal palace if they want but they choose the strategy with the least amount mortality possible for both sides.
Or rather, after completely surround the capital city, the army doesn’t have any other good strategy to move forward.
As a means to support morale, the army is provided with better provision in large portion to give them the impression that the final battle is coming.
“So how is it Renya? Are you interested in joining us after this battle is over? If you not then just joining the mercenary guild would be fine with us”
“Carlos-dono, it’s impossible. This man has even reject Tosuminia’s recruitment offer. I heard that he personally doesn’t like to be affiliated with any kind of organization”
“Does he even know the word greed?”
Renya just let out a wry smile listening to Carlos and Sherry’s dialogue.
“I know greed and I am just as greedy as anyone but my feeling of wanting to be free is just greater than that”
“I don’t think you would get tied down that badly in our countries though? If it was you, you will definitely able to get as many wealth and woman as you pleased when you join us”
“Even now, I can earn as much money as I want if I need it and I already have a relationship with 5 high quality women so I don’t feel like adding more especially those that are inferior”
“Kaah! Someone who conquers women not with their occupation’s authority or wealth but with their own power really can brag. But then again I indeed understand how you would not have the thought of seeing other women with those beauties surround you”
“That’s how it is”
“But I can’t let myself to admire your way, Renya-dono. Could you really take responsibility for the 5 women without having a home in a kingdom to call as root or a stable source of income?”
“To protect the women who also adores me, I don’t need any kingdom as root, authority, or status. What I need is determination and resolution to burden and be burdened. They don’t follow me because they want to be on a one sided relationship where they get protected by me but because I also depend on them. Sherry-san seems to misunderstand our relationship. I am not the top in our relationship. It’s more like we are sharing the same boat by fate”
Renya is rejecting Sherry’s word with an unusual power included in his tone.
His point is that Sherry has mistaken their relationship from the very base.
Carlos can only let out a laugh when he is looking at the overawed Sherry.
“GAHAHA! That’s great! This chap here would definitely get famous either as a great fool or a great hero. If my liege were to see this man there’s no doubt that he will like him just in one glance. You got balls man”
“Oh yeah by the way Carlos-san, I can’t help but notice at how calm Ezemeria king is. I heard that he is hailed as the king of mercenaries so I thought he would go to the front-line himself”
“Oh, Aah of course he wants to go to the front-line but all of the higher ups combine their power to stop him. We have just finished with the battle to choose our mercenary king so we can’t just let our king to get KIA. We also get help from his wifes so the king is currently being tied up in his throne now”
“…… I don’t think that was something fitting to do to a king of a kingdom”
“I also agree with your opinion. Sherry-san”
“We don’t have any choice okay? In Ezemeria, once every 4 years, we will held a formal election match to choose the right king for us. We will choose our king according to their strength, wisdom, and also popularity with the masses. Strength is by man to man battle, wisdom is by written test, and then the people will choose the king of their choice after seeing the former two test result”
“…… It sounds like a festival”
Renya remembers the election back on Earth.
Ezemeria’s king election seems to simple when compared to the one back then when compared.
“That’s why we can’t let another election happened in only after a year of the last one because it will cause disorder in our kingdom for sure. Furthermore with war also depletes our kingdom treasury, our kingdom would simply fall into chaos. It would be impossible to hold another king election normally at that time. There’s nothing good will happen if the head of our kingdom changes now”
“…… Well that’s unexpected”
“What is Renya dono?”
“Well no, it's just that when I hear that Ezemeria is a kingdom of mercenaries, I thought the kingdom would be more simple minded or rather, frankly speaking, barbaric…… A kingdom that is managed by instinct in short. So I find it unexpected”
“I understand what you want to say so much that it hurts me but this King Election policy fit very well with Ezemeria. And even if someone failed to be the king in the election, they could still become a high level executive official of the kingdom. As said in our kingdom’s creed [The kingdom’s important position will be held by the one with greater ability sequentially from the top] there are no other kingdom that honor an individual’s true ability as much as Ezemeria”
Renya is impressed. He thinks that such kind of opinion is also a good one. And with that, the small talk with the two commanders come to an end.
Renya’s party would also join the vanguard for the next attack so he needs to go to rest soon. Renya then walks back to his own tent that placed a bit off from the main camp in a relaxed way.
It is already night time but the wind still feel warm. It seems that summer would soon come. He heard that the area around Faskurn has the cooler climate in Barzerion continent but from the sensation he feels tonight, it seems that the summer in this continent would be a harsh one.
While receiving praises from the soldiers that happen to pass by him, Renya keeps on walking toward his own tent.
His tent is from the same quality that is used by the commander class so even if the light inside the tent is turned on, nobody outside could peek what happened inside. He thought that it would be stressful if anyone outside could figure out what is happening inside from the shadow created so he asked Therese to modify the tent a bit. The tent could be called a new type of magic items now.
“A Renya welcome back~. How’s the talk?”
“Well, another job invitation as usual. And I reject it as usual. Tomorrow’s invasion to the capital is also just a plain attack from the front”
“That might be simple but it’s not like we have other choices”
The 5 girls all still in their combat attire so they could jump into action anytime it happen which made Renya sigh inside but as he can’t do anything about it, he just take a seat in his own space.
“When I’m walking outside, I’m thinking that the temperature’s been getting warmer lately”
“According to the time of the year, it would soon be summer after all. But it’s all been pleasant thanks to Therese”
“Ehehe. It’s all thanks to Onii-san’s idea desu”
“……. Camping in summer…… hot and humid it’s troublesome…… but this is good”
Hearing Elvira and Rebecca’s compliment, Therese is feeling happy. The tent inside parts, especially the frames and pillars are modified to function as a magic tools. Thanks to the ground-breaking idea of having a tool to maintain the room inside the tent into a fixed number, everyone managed to spend their time leisurely.
In regards of the magic tool tent, Renya is thinking of selling the technology in places where temperature change is extreme via the help of Alchemist and Merchant guild to popularize it. It is related to fulfilling a fragment of Therese’s dream after all.
“Keeping that aside for now, Rebecca, come here for a bit”
“……? What is it?”
Trotting forward, Rebecca quickly approach Renya without any sense of suspicion.
When she enters Renya’s attack range, Renya restrain Rebecca with both of his hands and feet and quickly steal those tender lips of hers.
“…...~~~!?”
Shocked from the sudden sneak attack, Rebecca who is stunned from surprise and also being restrained from moving could only let Renya violate the inside of her mouth and her tongue.
Sucking, Entangling, and to add it up, Renya’s restraining hands and feet are also moving in a way to bring stimulus to Rebecca’s whole body. He is enjoying her youthful body to the fullest.
“Fu~…… Geez this place just reeks of men everywhere I unintentionally assault Rebecca. I don’t feel sorry though”
“……… Onii-chan…… too sudden…...”
“Fufufu, even so, I am still the War God”
“…… No relation…… Auu…… Soo good, can’t move…...”
“Then let me hold you like this for a while”
Renya turn Rebecca’s small body around and snugly hug her thigh.
Unable to fight back, Rebecca could only see her body droop on Renya and entrust herself while her face is all red.
“Good for you Rebecca-chan. She also got a kiss just the other day. Hey hey Renya, how about me? How about me?”
“If it is with Floria, I’m afraid that I will be the one getting pushed down so next time okay?”
“Mu, so you know”
“Of course I know. Anyway, when the war is over, we can do anything we want inside Hlidskjalf later. Of course with everyone”
Thinking about the thing to come, some of the member’s face blushed while the others are colored with expectation. They showed a varied reaction to Renya’s word. For the better or the worst, being used to Renya’s crazy ideas shows just how much the girls has grown in the meanwhile.
The mentality growth of his harem is something that Renya feels happy about but there are other more important thing for him right now.
“For the time being, we will begin with swimming in the ocean. Floria, I will entrust you with preparing the swimsuit for the girls”
“Oo~, at last my turn comes!? Leave it to me! I will pick the best swimsuit for everyone~”
Everyone in Renya’s harem are girls who own different type of alluring body.
It means that with the help of everyone, Renya can enjoy a luxurious swimsuit fashion show. Renya screamed happily inside his heart.
“So in conclusion, I can’t let this stupid war with Faskurn to stretch longer. I will use my full power to destroy them. All for swimsuit! For the sake of swimsuit! Viva swimsuit!”
“…… I pity Faskurn for being defeated for this reason”
With the exception of Floria, the other harem members show their consent with what Brenda said.
And with this carefree mood, the night before the decisive battle passes.
Author words: The women knight is a straight laced person.
And then a certain kind of flag appears.
But whether it will smoothly rises will be another matter though (What?)
Eros: I think the author is saying the matter about how Renya will spend his time after the was as was said in the chapter. But I might be wrong.
