The soldiers of the Kingdom of Embara, led by Eleonore, numbered less than thirty in total.
There were about a hundred and fifty soldiers in the kingdom’s army, and more than half of them apparently tried to escape and join up with Eleonore but they were probably caught by the sand bandits on their way here.
“The number of bandits controlling the city should be at least more than 300…… Even though we have powerful helpers, the difference in strength is too large at present.”
Eleonore frowned, thinking that it was unrealistic to retake the country with only this number of people.
“We have no choice but to ask for the cooperation from the friendly countries that trade with us. Then once we have gathered enough forces, we.…”
“Eleonore-oneechan, I can see it. That’s the kingdom of Embara, right?”
“Hn? Oh yes, that’s our country. The city is centered around one of the largest oases in the desert. But it’s the first time I’ve seen it from such a high vantage point. It feels fresh to me.”
Indeed, a city had been built in the middle of the desert where none had existed before. Part of the lake and greenery is surrounded by a thick double wall, lined with houses that appear to have been made of clay.
The white colored building standing in the middle of the lake is probably the royal palace.
“What you can see in the distance is the royal palace. It’s been taken over by sand bandits by now…… W-waiiiit~ when did we got heeeree!?”
Eleonore screamed.
“Why are we in the city!?”
“Huh? What do you mean? We’re going to get it back from the sand bandits, right?”
“Weren’t you listening to what I said? It’s going to be difficult with this difference in military strength!”
“But if we take our time, the damage will just keep increasing. If we had to ask other countries to send troops, who knows how long it would take?”
This country, full of women, is now being ruled by barbaric bandit men.
I need to release them as soon as possible!
『Master, you have an admirable sense of justice. But, you don’t have ulterior motives, do you? 』
Of course, it’s all pure sense of justice!
As the heroic baby who saved the country, I will be allowed to freely enter areas off-limits to men, will be surrounded by women and fawned over, and even gets to be sandwiched between their boobs and take baths with them. So yeah, I don’t have ulterior motives at all.
『It seems to me that it is only 10% sense of justice and 90% desire.』
I’m not the only one who is full of enthusiasm though.
“Mm, we need to attack as soon as possible.”
“There are only about 300 of them, right? We’ll have no problem with that!”
—Fana and the others are also in high spirits.
“…… Do you guys think that we can win?”
“Yes. What more, I’m sure that they’re less guarded right now. Let’s attack and recapture the city now.”
Eleonore seems to have made up her mind.
“I get it. Of course, it would be best if we could land a kick right away. Everyone, listen up! I’ve decided to begin the recapture operation now! There’s a difference in our military strength, but they probably didn’t expect us to attack so soon! We’ll take advantage of their carelessness and settle the matter in one fell swoop!”
“““Ouuuu!”””
Inspired by the Queen, the female soldiers raised their fists.
By the way, it seems that Eleonore plans to join the operation herself.
“Your Majesty, if you got captured, it will be the end of the story. Please reconsider it.”
“No, I have no intention of just idly waiting. Now that my people are suffering, it is time for me to show my pride as a queen. Otherwise, what kind of queen am I?”
One of the soldiers persuaded her to stay, but Eleonore declined to do so.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Oneechan.”
“Even if you say that, you’re just a baby….”
The female soldier looks at me suspiciously as I confidently assured her.
“The city has double walls. The area between the two walls is an area that anyone can enter, but anything beyond the second wall is off-limits to men. Considering their numbers, the enemy is most likely guarding the inner wall in earnest. Therefore, we should be able to get up there in one go. The problem is how to break through…..”
Eleonore, who knows a lot about the city, is trying to devise a plan to recapture it.
“Oneechan, oneechan. You don’t have to think about that you know.”
“Huh?”
“We are heading straight for the palace you see.”
