「Why won’t reinforcements arrive already!? At this rate we can’t advance any more!」
The Imperial army was aiming for the capital of the non-human alliance, they were advancing slowly. An aristocrat was raising his displeasure at the slow progress, to which a commander voiced out.
「There is a story about a group in the woods attacking our supply routes. The soldiers who have heard the rumour call them the “Reapers”….」
「Reapers? If they’re helping the monster group, then kill them quickly!」
「We can’t tell if they are working with the monster group」
「If so then why did they attack our supply routes!?」
「I don’t know. After all…..no-one who has seen them have returned alive…」
The commander was anxious about whether or not to report this matter to the troops.
「Ok!! Then send a unit to find out about these so called “Reapers”!!」
At this, 1000 soldiers as well as 40 magic weapons and 500 automatons had entered the forest in order to subdue the “Reapers”. (TLN: This isn’t overkill. Supplies routes are essential in military campaigns)
――――――――――――
The special forces had been sent in to assist the non-human alliance. They dealt with a variety of missions, including assassinations of enemy commanders, aerial bombardment requests and disrupting supply routers.
「Let’s do it」
The lieutenant said as he showed a fearless smile towards warrant officer Clements. He was equipped with a Mosin-Nagant M28, similar to the one used by famous sniper Simo Hayha, also known as the “White Death”.
「…..isn’t there too many of them?」
As warrant officer Clements began to grumble, a radio signal came through.
『This is hound dog 01. Broadcasting the results of the surveillance from the RQ-11 Raven. 40 magic weapons and around 500 automatons as well as numerous lightly dressed infantrymen and witches, numbering around 1000 – 1500 people are approaching your location. Considering the fighting power, we are at a disadvantage. I advise guiding the enemy to a trap zone and annihilating them there』
『『『「Understood」』』』
「It’s ok. Let’s go」
「Yep….it will be fun」
Warrant officer Clements was the captain of the second company, call sign Delta. After returning an answer to hound dog 01 his unit began to follow the imperial army silently, like an animal stalking it’s prey.
