98: War

After yesterday, I wanted to get a few hours of sleep. Training and preparing for an invasion at the same time isn't such a good idea. At this rate I'll burn myself out.

I was still staying in the house originally assigned to us. Although I could have gotten a better place now, I got attached to this place so I kept it. It was a habit I had even back in my old world. I tend to get attached to stuff.

Regardless, after a few hours, Nelia woke me up.

"Lady Yurishia."

"Mmm… just five more minutes…"

"But it's important! I have a report. The enemy is close and they will attack us from the north!"

"... What did you say?"

I instantly got out of bed and headed outside then I teleported to the highest building to analyze the situation. True. A large force was coming from the north. But I was a little surprised. They were… fewer than expected.

"Lady Yurishia, my spiders have more information. There is a second force coming from the south."

That explains the low numbers. So they split their forces and are gonna try attacking from 2 sides at once.

"Nelia, have you confirmed the leaders? Is Liliana here?"

"No. She's not within this army. The ones leading this attack are ladies Camilla and Tiana. Volmund's mother and younger sister."

Hou? This is quite an interesting development. Well, I did promise Volmund that if I ever meet his sister I'll make her my slut. I wouldn't want to break a promise, fufu. I'll probably do the same with the mother then. If she's my type of milf like Amelia, I am going to have a great oyakodon moment."

"Sylvia, can you hear me? Have the troops tell all the people to stay inside. They mustn't come out."

"Yes, Aneue."

"Lumi-chan, please coordinate the aerial defense. Don't let flying Mazoku cross over. Either turn them back or turn them to ash."

"Okay."

"Wait. Lady Yurishia, what about our troops? Where should we send them? Should we try dividing them?"

"Not necessary."

"Eh?"

"I'm saying it isn't the time to deploy our troops. Keep them inside. For now, let's wait and see what they do."

We didn't have to wait a lot though. Soon a voice echoed towards us. Someone probably amplified their voice with magic.

"Yurishia Bahamut! You are the traitor that is trying to bring ruin to the world. Not only did you kill nobles, you also stole Zeshia through disrespectful means!

However, this town doesn't need to suffer. Surrender yourself and the sword to us. If you do, then we will spare the town and all of the people. If there's a single shred of dignity left inside you, give up!"

"I hope you aren't actually planning on handing me over to them…"

"Of course not. This war is over before it started."

After a while, because they saw I didn't reply, they ordered the troops to attack the wall. Flying units were dealt with easily by Lumi-chan and the archers. The only ones I told them to avoid was the girls. If they fly in, it's a perfect scenario. I need them inside.

"I'm gonna head out to the northern area and face them."

"Eh!? Alone?"

"Of course alone. Bessie and Leona, focus on everyone that manages to infiltrate."

"But what about the southern area?"

"Leave it alone."

"I… really don't get you… lady Yurishia."

------

After giving my instructions I left and teleported to the northern area. I was now standing before the army.

"So you have decided to surrender? Wise move. Although I must say I'm disappointed."

The one that spoke was none other than Tiana. Volmund mentioned her quite a few times in the past. His description matches this girl. I must say, her bust size is impressive.

"Well, hurry up and hand over the sword."

*Sigh*

"How annoying."

"What's that?"

"I'm just amazed by your stupidity. Is that bunch behind you all I'm worth?"

I looked at them using my Ruin Eyes. I'm the one that's disappointed. They are nowhere near my level. They might as well be cabbages. Even if their numbers are big, it won't do them any good.

"Are you trying to act tough? Don't think this wall will protect you. If you don't cooperate, we'll destroy this town and…"

"Silence."

Her body froze. And it was like invisible rope tied her and forced her to stand at attention.

"You are seriously underestimating me. I didn't come here to surrender. But to slaughter you all. Do you really think you can stand a chance against me?"

Right now I have a surge of power flowing through me. Training with both Leona and Lumi-chan was intense, and although I am tired, I can also feel I am stronger.

"What all of you are facing isn't the Warlord, Yurishia Bahamut. You are facing death itself! Now come. Let me show you that you are nothing more than ants."

"Kuh…"

She managed to get over her fear and move again. Well, she was smart to attack us at night. Vampires are strongest during nights.

"Attack! All troops attack her! Kill her!!!"

Hahaha! This is going to be so much fun! I'll enjoy breaking all of you.
