Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 151: The Great War begins

Alright, I heard a detailed story from the Gadra-jiisan and Shinji group who came here before, and it was a certainty that the Empire had moved. As expected. First of all, a command post as a strategic union headquarters was placed within the control room. Benimaru and Souei will always be on standby here. Souei took out many of his clones to various places, our information gathering does not rely solely on image surveillance. To be honest, to be able to use something like high-altitude image surveillance in this world war can be said to be an out of the box technique. No matter what I think, I want to see it. Before, I was confused which route to attack, but it was just a funny story now. After all, to say nothing about the dangerous route, even the situation within the empire could be observed, so that everything was completely revealed from their first act. If this situation is compared to a Shogi match, then my side can see everything across the board, while the enemy is just moving without knowing the moves my side is making. That kind of feeling. Not only will I fight against incredible amateurs, I will also not be defeated by expert enemies. I don't play games with an unfavorable handicap, but have an edge (Absolute Superiority) on my side. Oh well, it's not like war has rules or anything. The truth is with the winner. After all, there is no international law in this world then there is no problem, because there are no rules that must be obeyed as well. In the Council of Nations, there is more or less something resembling an international treaty, usually the course of the event will be the heads of the warring states deciding the rules during the war and after the war before the start of the war. But, in the case of a unilateral invading state, such a rule does not apply. . . And in this case, whatever happens in this kind of war. Frankly, the rules I decided on were only one. Involving civilians is prohibited! Only these. Of course, the continued attacks after I declared the war had ended, were completely forbidden. Oh well, I believe no one will go against my will and disobey this order. Because of this, the Empire's assembled troops one after another were projected on several large screens. The First Corps commanded by Gobuta and the Third Corps led by Gabil were deployed as the Vanguard Force. Utilizing their high-speed movement, this allowed the corps to deal with situations in any location immediately. Their numbers are few, but I judge it doesn't matter if they devote themselves to hit and run tactics. But ..... 「Wa! Hey ... Why are there tanks here !? 」A soldier like Shinji and co will not know much about military secrets, so the whereabouts of the tank is unknown to them. As far as I observed from the sky, there were 4,000 tanks. Moreover, it seemed to use magic essence as energy and did not seem to need to refuel it. These tanks have high versatility and seem to have performance that exceeds our previous highest performance tanks easily if I just compare them to their performance. I don't know if it moves with just magic essence, and there seems to be some sort of refueling, but judging from its speed, it's not normal. I assumed a bad road would not be a problem for it even while walking with 100 km/h or more. I got up from the ground a little like floating in the air. 'Honestly, Magic is awesome!' So I think but more than that, I feel bitterness if it is also developed here.

Clearly it incorporates knowledge of the "Other Worlds". Even I could come up with the idea but an idea like a tank was no match in the world of sword and magic. If only my head had more brains, then I could freely order ideas …. No, let's stop. It's useless even if I regret it. It's a problem for later. When this war is over, let's try to develop things in a variety of freer ways. We were not just surprised by the tank. An aircraft. “Serious!?” It was hard to hold back his screams. If there was that, transportation would be very easy. The supply problem would be resolved if used for war. In addition, I am optimistic that I can steal air supremacy unilaterally, but this may be a bit overbearing. I was thinking of developing it, but it was practically impossible. (I did various developments but realistically it is impossible to implement.) ?? I have to really praise the fruit of that side's development team, honestly. Because there would be no discovery of such a level that could be completed overnight. However, I wanted to capture one ship safely; after thinking for a while, there was no other way. Well, I was shocked because of the imperial military weapon, but even so my side won in the information war. Raphael roughly counted the number of imperial soldiers; there seemed to be around 1 million soldiers. An outrageous number has come out. I don't know how far Yuuki has spread his influence, but it will be difficult for him to control this number, right? I think this might be due to the huge effect of the bait I spread. If so, the enemy army can head for the labyrinth. While I was thinking about the situation, a corps appeared and began to move in a different direction from the direction developed by the tank corps. It seemed, the corps seemed to be about to invade the border around the outskirts of the Dwarf Kingdom. The tank pretends to be the main force, while the actual main force is deployed elsewhere, huh. Huh!, honestly only such an impression comes out. "What should we do? Should Gobuta and his corps that went to the frontlines return? 」「 No, their number is not enough, let's trust the main force that goes the other way to Gerudo. I mean one part of the enemy will enter the labyrinth, it will be easy to destroy each of them 」「 I understand, how is the labyrinth? 」Benimaru is extraordinarily serious. His usual honest speech became silent, he now displayed his true nature as a supreme general. He's very reliable. 「Ramiris, can you bring the whole adventurous city around the labyrinth to the labyrinth?」 「I can know ~! No problem at all! 」So, so let's do it like that. After saying that, I explained the situation to Masayuki, the Commander of the Volunteer Force. "Eh, really? Is that even possible? ”

Then I leave the rest to the surprised Masayuki. Apparently, the story became like, after persuading the Demon King, he made me promise to protect the city. 'As expected of Hero-dono!' 'Really reliable!' Like that, he received praise from the townspeople, Masayuki observed the spectacle with a complicated face. But, even with this expression, 'Hero-dono is still not satisfied' 'That's right, it's true''Hero-dono will protect this city. We can rest easy if we entrust everything to him! ' Such an interpretation was made, no one paid attention to Masayuki's suffering. Thus, the surface city was moved completely to the 101st floor of the labyrinth. The 100th floor and 95th floor changed places, shifting each floor and the defense system was built perfectly. Or rather, perhaps the troops were impossible to pass through the 90th floor. Because even with supplies, a few days is the limit. Since they were unable to use the inn inside the labyrinth, such a thing as breaking through was impossible. The renovated soldiers were able to go through two weeks without eating and drinking, Shinji and colleagues said, but it was unthinkable for them to catch the labyrinth in two weeks. Oh well, I can't be rash, I'll think about it by the time the party has already come to attack. There is also the possibility that they continue to enter into the labyrinth, but it may be useless to think about it for now. Well, with that kind of feeling I prepared the preparations. The city around the labyrinth was isolated, and a second Gerudo corps with 17,000 men was deployed as the front of the Tempest. Inside were 10,000 volunteer soldiers and a corps of 50,000 monsters were waiting. As the surrounding countries would also receive the news that the Empire had moved, they could manage to organize their forces quickly, but it might be too late. I could not summon them before the war, but the imperial movement exceeded my expectations. After all, I only asked them to set up and asked to maintain the status quo in a state of alert. The worst case is that we are surrounded and waiting for reinforcements, but in that case already lost. Oh well, that depends on the situation. Well then, the preparations of this party are finished as well, so let's start the war formally. The Jura Kingdom Forest, my territory as a Demon King, has been attacked by a tank army. In order not to make the enemy realize that our side foresaw everything, I left them alone until the preparations were finished. The situation is already a territorial invasion, but let's give them a warning with a feeling like we just noticed them. By the way, I sent newcomers to each corps as intelligence officers. Gobuta, while looking hesitant, 「A woman who has no business with fighting is unfit for the first corps you know-ssu! So says so, but the real identity of the woman is Testarossa. 'You ... will be killed by me!' so, he said and Gobuta fell silent. I mean, that way seems more interesting. [1] Let's wait expectantly until he starts 「Ga, gasp!」 Or something like that later. In contrast to Gobuta, Gabil has matured. 「There are many circumstances that I do not understand, so I am counting on you!」

The two people following behind him were similar, a seemingly strict middle-aged handsome man and a somewhat chubby man of an unknown age wearing a military uniform of the same design. Gastar understood and did not doubt that these three people were subordinates of the Demon King. When the woman stopped her steps, she bowed and smiled sweetly towards them. 「Everyone, nice to meet you for the first time. My name is Testarossa. I am the retainer of Demon Lord Rimuru, the ruler of this area. Then, the business I have today is ... 『I'll ignore this if you all leave now. But, I will not forgive him any further if you all go more than this 』to convey the words of my lord」 So, the woman ―― Testarossa seems to be her name ―― said, at the same time the man behind her lightly waved his hand. The wall of fire appeared at the 1m moment in front of the frontmost attacking tank. The wall of fire disappeared instantly, leaving a burn mark on the ground that became a straight line. 「You all understand, right? When you cross this line, your life will be forfeited. People who do not have resolutions should not go through them. In that case, have a nice day [5] 」Testarossa turned around from that place after he left the graceful bow. The men behind her were like following her to leave the place. They say what they want to say unilaterally, without even considering this side at all. Their behavior provokes Gastar's anger. (Do it!) Gastar gave a short order to the sniper. Receiving the order, the soldier holding the sniper rifle aimed at Testarossa. And then, silently the silent type magic bullet shot out ―― Testarossa who turned around, deepened his smile and laughed wickedly. The magic bullet that was supposed to pierce through his body, to be exact, was stopped by Testarossa's soft index finger. The initial speed of the bullet reached three times the speed of sound and it was an undetectable magic power. At the same time the impact of the bullet that magic power would be unleashed, the bullet that was supposed to kill and injure the target was of course plucked in mid-flight without any problem and was lightly thrown away. Just like dealing with worthless toys. And then, the three walked away without turning around again and left without saying anything. Fear and confusion almost exploded in Gastar's mind, but he suppressed it with his willpower. Ordinary soldiers did not understand what had just happened. Only him and the sniper could see what had just happened. In Gastar's mind, fear and humiliation depended on the scale, and winning was humiliation. 「Don't be confused! This victory is dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor! All troops, attack !! 」Korps tank starts moving forward along with Gastar's loud voice commands. They overstepped the warning line easily and the war had begun.
