The tactics formulated by the Imperial High Command are very simple in summary, because the north of the large city-state alliance is also close to the sea - the same coastline as the empire. The imperial army launched an attack from the south of the city-state alliance, giving the alliance enough pressure.
While the northern side of the alliance had to mobilize troops to support the front line, the navy launched an attack from the north, attacking from both sides.
"It would be great if they could be fooled."
"It doesn't matter if you don't get fooled. If we don't provide support, how can a few small city-states withstand the attack of our powerful imperial army?"
"But if there is any problem——"
"I know." Gironde nodded. Since he is a general of the "Adventurer Army", of course he understands——
To achieve the effect of a sneak attack, it must go to the outside where the coast and offshore fishing boats cannot observe. In such a place, can the fleet withstand the attack of the sea monsters?
A fleet may not be unable to win against warcraft at sea, but there will definitely be losses. The fleet and soldiers that the empire has spent a lot of money to build cannot be wasted in such a place. Adventurers can be hired to deal with warcraft, but adventurers cannot intervene in politics.
matter, so I can only give up.
In order to prevent the above things from happening, they began to order a batch of goods from the Dwarf Kingdom in the name of civilian goods as early as two years ago. Judging from the popularity of fast long-distance communication methods in this world and the isolation level of the Dwarf Kingdom, it is impossible for the enemy to
If you are aware of this action, even if you are aware of it, you may not even think that it is related to this battle.
Other generals also spoke one after another.
"The strategy has been planned, but in terms of tactics, if the enemy defends the city, it will cause us a lot of trouble."
Because the main force of the empire is cavalry, it is easier to show off one's majesty on the plains.
"This problem has been solved because the enemy has fought for the union of the demihuman races, so we have also received support from the temple."
There are differences between the gods worshiped by the temple and the Theocracy, but the concept of "humanity first" is not very different. Although there are times when there is no compromise, the scope of the compromise is quite narrow.
What is the scope of compromise? Of course, at least the appearance is the same as human beings, and the race is not much different from human beings. Although this may seem superficial, first impression is an important factor in identifying people. It seems unreasonable to judge people by their appearance, but it cannot be ignored.
s method.
Obviously, the city-state's use of demi-humans as helpers has touched the bottom line of the temple. Moreover, if the empire with a large number of people who believe in the temple can eliminate the demi-humans, the power and reputation of the temple will also be expanded.
The temple's support of the empire's war is a good thing that benefits humanity and is mutually beneficial. Even the Theocracy issued a "verbal statement" declaring its support for the expansion of the empire.
Moreover, although the military strength of the temple is definitely not as good as that of the country, it is quite good at attacking and defending the city and dealing with foreigners. With their help, this war will definitely be much easier.

Turning your attention to the Dwarf Kingdom, Freeport——
During the next two days of sailing, training continued, and on the afternoon of the third day of sailing, the Water Dragon battleship docked smoothly at the dock of Freeport, the only port in the Dwarf Kingdom.
This journey was uneventful, because the sea area in the northern part of the Dwarf Kingdom was still within the cruising range of the Frost Dragon, and ordinary sea monsters did not dare to provoke it.
Compared with the Empire, the scale of the Freeport is not that big. It is backed by mountains. If you look directly from the dock, you can see the tunnel openings where lizard-drawn carts occasionally enter and exit the dwarf city.
Although it is not large in scale, it has gained an extremely important status because it is the smoothest channel for the Dwarf Kingdom to connect to other countries, and it is named after "Freedom".
It seemed that the matter of taking over the cargo could not be completed without taking a day or two. Since Captain Max restricted the scope of activities, Crownpis planned to sneak out of the port and take a look around.
Using [invisibility] to sneak out of the sight of the Imperial Knights, Crownpis took out an ordinary-looking ball and a bunch of uniforms identical to his own from his pocket, and threw them on the ground.
Say: "Merriface, come on."
The small ball grew and deformed rapidly, like the "meat" of a wriggling succulent plant. It penetrated into the clothes, expanded, and changed into the shape of Merriface. Finally, the color returned to a human color.
"You are really becoming more and more skilled at making monsters."
"Well, it's a great honor to receive the compliment."
"At this cost, has your recent magic learning been affected? Can you see my magic?"
"no problem."
"That's good." Crounpis was still worried that the change in race would cause the innate abilities that were originally only human privileges to become ineffective.
Depending on the situation, her actions against other students with natural abilities may change today and in the future. Human beings are very weak, but some interesting natural abilities are also very good as reserve resources. They cannot be wasted casually. After experiencing
After hundreds of failures, it's great that Merriface's human experiment was completely successful.
"Next-" Crownpis was about to strike up a casual conversation with the dwarves working at the dock to relieve her boredom, when she was interrupted by a sudden [message].
Crounpis habitually put her hands on her head: "Sunny?"
Sunny: "Yes, although I am here to cover you according to Pisi's request...it's just..."
The so-called cover is naturally similar to covering up for roommates who violate rules during dormitory rounds, except that Sunny used her own visual illusions.
Crownpiss: "Can you please stop showing off?"
Sunny: "Yayaka, aren't you with me?"
Crownpiss: "No."
Sunny: "Is nothing going to happen? I don't think she can be allowed to go to the port town just because she is the captain's eldest sister. Is it possible that she can wander around on the sea and be swallowed by sharks because of her natural abilities?"
Crounpis: "Who knows, my current state awareness range is not very large. But with Yayaka's level, it is still very easy to deal with a monster of the same level as a shark, right?"
Sunny: "You can't help it if you don't have enough experience, right?"
Crownpiss: "That's true."
Sunny: "Report to the captain?"
Crounpis: "Report the ghost! Then our 'sneaking' thing was exposed, wasn't it? Let her go, she is a human and she won't cause trouble for me. Continue to cover us,
Let the camera do its thing.”
Sunny: "I know."
Acting with the camera is a very cunning term. Crounpis doesn't know how to deal with it in the best interests of her own, so she can only do this. And this will become a major event that humans, the Dragon King, and many Central Continent countries will be involved in.
