Northern region of Castalll.

Early in the next day, hours before the sun had even risen, the rebels were already on the move.

Hiro had summoned a PA system which included wired microphones and loud speakers before he ventured into Korcari Wilds. The PA system was brought here. 

Everyone was armed and waiting, as they had agreed beforehand.

“All troops, form up! The commander has arrived!”

The non-commissioned officer who had been entrusted with the leadership of the soldiers shouted, and the approximately one thousand troop members formed a line.

The line was not with a single stitch of disorder, indicating the high level of skill of the troops we have now.

We have truly come this far.

Sylvia Virginia stepped forward and ordered the soldiers, followed by her father, Noir and a dark elf man, Riheet. The short blond haired girl, Clementine was standing not far from them with the tall girl Irijina and another considerably tall girl, Gertrude. The dark short haired girl, Amber and the trump card, Lyla were at the most forefront among the troops.

Sylvia picks up the microphone,

“From this point onwards, our team will move into action. Our targets are Count Jaworski and his son Luke, who are now currently holed up in the Torun city.”

After taking a breath, she continued.

“If it is still unclear to you, Our objective is to overthrow the current regime and establish a new one. Do you have any questions?”

Since the unit was under the house of Virginia’s direct control, they were probably informed of the general details beforehand, but this was probably the first time they were given the detailed information.

Nevertheless, 500 men were enforcement from Hezri Kingdom with about 100 men from Viscount Liudger, Baron Herenborg and Baron Badegisel. Except the men from Hezri Kingdom, the rest were confused… but the soldiers remained upright and motionless.

Even so, there was a guy who raised his hand as if he was the only one who had something to ask.

”Yes, what is it?”

Sylvia asked, and the soldier asked in a loud voice that could be heard by everyone around him.

“From what I’ve heard, this is not an official military order. So, I’m here to ask. Are we still getting paid for this?”

"I, Sylvia Virginia, a marchioness of Hezri Kingdom assures you that we shall pay you accordingly. Then, and a full week’s vacation at a later date.”

The soldiers cheered at these words.

Their will to fight increased dramatically when they realized they would receive a real benefit.

"Really, these guys…” Irijina complained 

While she thought they were such a group of cash cows, she also perceived that Sylvia, who knew her subordinates well, had become even more of a brilliant commander than before.

She completely motivated the soldiers herself by the announcement of the reward.

As for the men from Hezri Kingdom, they were already loyal to the king's cause. Included among them were 50 odd fighters from dark elves who fought for their own agenda.

"While it is true that we are going too complacent, we have to do this as in the end, we are still soldiers on the side of the usurper. How can we rely on them if their morale is not this high?”

Gertrude, Amber and Lyla were also present.

They seemed bewildered by the sight of the soldiers, who are now filled with the will to fight.

Meanwhile, Jill, Suzy and Sekrit who were standing further away from the crowd listened to Sylvia's speech with mixed reaction.

Wait. Don’t tell me she will pay for this in her own pockets again!?”

Jill, who was also involved in the kingdom's treasury, gave Suzy a concerned look.

“It’s fine. ‘Our wallet’ is where we are headed to after this, so…”

"The castle will definitely have a fortune saved from the Count’s ‘trading’ with merchants and nobles. We will give it to them."

"It’s money they had probably been accumulating for themselves anyway. It’s much better if we put it to good use."

Suzy nonchalantly explained.

“Oh my. Looks like you’ve got something bad on your mind again.”

Sekrit giggled when she saw their exchange.

Noir walked over to her daughter’s side and motioned for her to go.

“We’re all set. Let’s go.”

“Yeah, I know. All troops, advance!”

Along with her orders, a fully armed battalion departed from the base.

Right away, more than a dozen military police who arrived on the scene as we left the base interfered, but the soldiers eliminated them without even drawing their weapons.

Military police who have dealt with criminals in the city versus soldiers with a history of dealing with armed soldiers.

Although each had a different role to play, in terms of combat power, their unit was by far superior.

“Commander Rihito, we will now head on our ways. The more we grab the enemy’s attention to us, the better.”

“Understood. I’m still concerned about the skill level of the other units, though.”

The plan was to saturate and destroy the enemy’s ability to respond by having the coup d’état forces rise up en masse.

Also, if possible, attract strong opponents such as the count’s henchmen here.

This is because one of the allied units plans to take advantage of the chaos and rob the arsenal of siege weapons from the armory.

After that, they would join their main forces and take the castle down in one fell swoop.

“So far, no major resistance is present …… oops, there they are.”

They saw a group of about a hundred people at the end of the street we were following in formation.

They all have thick leather armor, shields, and batons.

“Looks like an anti-riot detachment of the military police. It was probably a quick-response unit.”

Then Riheet turn my attention to Sylvia.

“I know they’re only doing their jobs, but we have no choice now. If anyone gets in the way, crush them! 1st Unit, forward! Push the enemy out of the way!”

The commander gave the order.

The rest of the units took up positions on the flanks and in the rear! All units, begin advancing!”

Not twenty seconds had passed since Sylvia gave the order.

I could see that the Military Police were shaken up by our rapidly changing movements.

In the meantime, they advanced as well, and soon, the two units came into contact with each other.

“Push, kick them out of the way!”

“Don’t let them advance from here!”

The voices of the captains of both units rang out, filled with angry shouts and the heavy bass of shields clashing against each other.

The military police, in their shields and protective gear, are also quite strong in their defenses.

“Not good. This is going to take a long time. Irijina, can you help us?”

Irijina, who had assessed the situation, asked the raiding squad at her side.

“Leave it to me. We’ll kick their asses in no time.”

And Irijina, who accepted the responsibility, jumped to the front line.

Several enemy military police were blown upwards where she had entered a few seconds later.

The shield they were holding were smashed by Irijina’s spear, and some of the military police were slammed onto the cobblestone pavement.

At the same time, the rest of the raiding squad rush in after Irijina tore a hole in the enemy formation.

Among the confused enemy troops, Irijina focused on finding their commander.

Then, she charged.

“Haaaaaa!!”

“D-deviill!! Aaaaaahh!!!”

Irijina’s powerful spear pierced through the enemy commander’s body armor, and a drop of blood splattered her cheek.

“That was a good warm-up. Let me try it with you guys next.”

She said as she wiped the blood from her cheek and swung her spear again.

Even after defeating the military police, we did not stop or slow down our pace.

Soon, we arrived at the enemy’s stronghold.
