It didn't take much time 'til we arrive at our destination. Or rather, our supposed destination.
I didn't expect that the King could conscript and prepare a lot earlier since they must have been exhausted from war. But, damn.
Well, no matter. With the 3000 combat AI of mine, the war will surely be a one sided slaughter. Things like surrendering is acceptable, but of course, only if I'm satisfied with their grief.
Letting them surrender within a short amount of time will only cause me trouble. We don't know, they might commit insurgence as soon as I turn my back against them.
Therefore, a siege of countless advanced magical cannon is enough to make them fear the true meaning of death.
Since we just arrived from the area of interest, rest is given. Thankfully, my army is properly organized and immediately acted in accordance with the help of my adjutant.
With that, evening came and lights illuminated the whole plain as practices continues with my machines.
Also, I have been experimenting more spells that I find exciting!
Of course, it will be terrifying when I cast it upon those enemies of mine. But, if it's necessary, I will surely give it a try!
After watching the training of my men, I went inside my tent and walk through my desk for work.
My fiancée was left behind at the city palace since the war is dangerous for her. She insisted on coming for moral support, which I called it, but I can't spoil her like that. The event is far too risky to even let her come.
And so, loneliness embrace me as I check every detail of materials and equipments that have transferred along with my army.
After that, I made my way towards my improvised bed and take a rest for the night to prepare for the next day of battle.

"The time has come, my soldiers. A power that bestowed upon me by the Goddess have given me a chance to reign supreme among all other countries through out the world. Wasting such blessing will only lead to a curse!
Hence, I have come here with you, and finally, we will be able to take further steps from our desire. Our desire to unite our nation against the devilish king who doesn't even care about its people.
Bring glory to my stead and I will surely give you anything you desire!"
Noises emerge from my army as I finish my speech.
In front of me is the tens of thousands of conscripted and regular soldier from my territory. While at the other side, there's almost 40,000 thousand that stood in front of the city wall.
I know for a certain that we are greatly outnumber. But, with my advance tools and equipments, it will never be accepted to have a defeated battle!
"Go forth my men and bring glorious victory for our future empire!"
As I said so, voices of a warrior vibrated throughout the area as all of them begin walking towards the enemy defending the city.
"Fire the cannon!"
Cannon as I say it, but to be accurate, it is closely similar to an artillery that is big enough to terrorize any of those who see its glory. Even in my previous world, this magnificent invention withstood and defend its allies with its might against air and even heavy tank divisions.
If even tanks that is made out of metal can be destroy by such an outdated weapon, this advance one will surely bring terror even more.
Multiple cannons were fired with my command and soon, the army in front of us started to panic and move to any sort of direction. However, it is not enough to destroy their moral.
They may seem to have a good command chain in them that even that kind of monster can't scare them off. Well, it doesn't matter. If they don't get scared, I just had to use it more and more?
"Magical troops, engage!"
Soon, my combat AI starts to fire their guns as they move closer and closer towards the city. As we get closer, more and more arrow from the enemy side starts to rain down to us. Fortunately, we have a good amount of defense on us and by creating an alloy-based large shield, defending a number of our soldiers won't be hard.
"Forward!"
It won't be soon when we will be able to capture that city and advance towards the heart of my enemy. Piercing it is the only way to finish this.

[Baron Nermia of the Morbo County's POV)
Those bastard really though we will win. Even if it's just a mere count's heir, I have told them the might of such person.
And yet, why didn't they listen?! Is it because I'm just a damn baron who barely got the title of a general?!
Damn those imbecile! Damn that Marquis!
Now, look at what's happening in front of me... Look how they're slaughtering every warriors of mine!
"Do not lose your composure, my warriors. I believe with the help of the Goddess, attaining a victory is possible even if it's flawed!"
I said so, however, deep within me, I know that winning is not an option anymore. It's either we lose or survive.
"Milvene, send a massage to his excellency, ask for reinforcement or we will surrender."
"B-But milord, it's far too early!"
"To hell with the time, my army is slowly fading you damn fuck!"
Sigh, damn. What did they even see in me to let me position at the most important part of the war. I'm simply a man past his prime and no more than a decade will surely retire myself.
But, it seems such fate doesn't allow me to have a peaceful one.
"U-Understood!"
The man I have called as a messenger is the son of mine who will be the future head of my house. Instructing him to send a message is simply a surface of my plan, keeping him safe is my outmost responsibility as a father.
The battle didn't stop even if I have my moments, instead, cannons of such a terrifying caliber keep terrorizing the people within the walls. Cries and scream resounded across the area as we only hope for the survival of this city.
"Go forth my soldier, we cannot let those fool kill us without even fighting back! If the Goddess permit it, we will surely be welcomed to the paradise we wished!"
We can't keep standing by and do nothing as those enemy of ours keep killing us one by one. The only option as of now is to advance within the range of our spear and stab them to death. Winning is never an option, however, if we ever find ourselves near those bastard, it will be sure as hell that we will be able to attain the impossible.
Their numbers aren't even half of ours.
