The day that the Ruling takes place.

　According to the survey by the maple tree, the number of humans living in the land where the Ruling will take place is about 100. The Kanazawa Liberation Army had moved their base of operations to Nononoichi, a small but developed city surrounded by Kanazawa and Hakusan cities.

　The remaining humans in the land to be governed this time are expected to be those who could not abandon their homes.

　Ruling - the battle for land against the humans can be divided into two main types.

　One - the invasion type.

　The "Ruling" of the City Hall of Suzu, where they fought to the death against Ishikawa University and the Kotets, is classified as an invasion.

　The key to success in this type of Ruling is to reduce the number of enemies in advance and break their hearts. He would only rule when he is sure that he can subdue all the enemies in the area of the Ruler.

　The other one - defense.

　There are only a few humans in the area where they will rule, but as soon as they rule, they will be able to get rid of the enemies coming from outside the area of the Ruling.

　The key to a successful defensive Ruling is preparation. He would place his men on the defensive line without being noticed by the humans. They would launch a surprise attack to defend themselves for 3 hours.

　The most likely to fail in this type of Ruling is the defensive type, i.e., a defensive rule. The success rate of defensive Ruling depends on the opponent's actions. They had to eliminate all the enemies within a 3km radius 3 hours after setting up the Ruler, but they didn't know if the enemy would come to defend them, and even if they did, how many of them would be mobilized. To top it all off, the enemy has countless 360-degree paths of penetration into the 3-kilometer area, from east, west, north, south, and west.

　Even though they are innumerable, it's impossible for me to get around them because the north is my domain. If the means of transportation on the other side is by car, it is possible to narrow it down to a certain number, but....

　I let out a sigh while looking at the map.

　It's impossible to block all the roads......... I'll just have to mark a certain number of roads that can be accessed from prefectural and national roads.

　The travel time from Nonoichi to the land where we are going to rule this time is 30 minutes by car. If they were to mobilize 10,000 people, it would probably take more time to prepare, and if they mobilized 100,000 people, the time needed to prepare would increase even more.

　Let's just get the enemy to invade within the range of the 《Governance》 with a quantity strategy!　But if they hadn't made the necessary preparations in advance, they wouldn't be able to mobilize that many people in three hours.

　Did the mastermind who came up with this specification calculate to this point to come up with the specifications for the 《Ruling》?

　This is a problem for both the Demon King (Chaos) and the human race (Lowe).

　The key to the success of this event was to have my men waiting in an interesting location to rule without being noticed by the humans.

　We need to divide the unit into three parts.

　The first is the defense force that will be deployed on Route 157, which is the main route of penetration.

　One is the unit that will eliminate the human race that lives within the scope of the 《Governance》.

　One is a ranger force that can move flexibly in response to humanity's movements.

　Currently, there are 11 units in the Astor Empire.

　There are 10 units led by 1000 troops - Lina, Kotetsu, Takaharu, Sara, Hibiki, Chloe, Leila, Red, Flora, and Iron - and a ranger team led by Saburou, who has gathered 100 troops around a former Demon King.

　However, Sablow's troops will be in the depths, so he orders them to stand by.

　Then, the number of troops to be deployed is 10.

　It would be the Defense Force that would weigh in on the numbers.

　The defense force would have seven troops - 7,000 forces.

　Eliminating the human race would only require one unit to be deployed.

　Then, two ranger units would be deployed inevitably.

　Chloe's unit, which is capable of bifocal attacks, would be the one to eliminate the human race. She's good at breaking hearts and minds, since she doesn't even take a handful of steps.

　A combat fanatic like Takahar or a brainiac like Red would be suitable for the front line, and a ranger can't serve in Sarah and Flora's squad, which is logistical support. Hibiki and Iron are more suited to defense by their nature. Whether Kotetsu wants to protect the Astor Empire or Lina, his true intentions are unknown, but he has a strong tendency to prefer the front line.

　As a result, the rangers--Lina and Leila's unit will be the most suitable.

　I simulate the strategy I've drawn up many times in my head.

　...It's all right. It's the best I can do right now.

　With the strategy in place, I moved out of the control area where my men were waiting for me.


　　


We are now ready to invade!

　I announce the start of the invasion to the more than 10,000 control units lined up in front of the dominion territory, and to the officers standing in front of the control units.

'Kotetsu, Takaharu, Sara, Hibiki, Red, Flora, and Iain, aim for this point!

　I point to a point on Route 157 on the map of Kanazawa City that I have spread out in front of me.

Chloe, Lina and Leila will work with me. Chloe will then follow my instructions to neutralize everyone in range. Lina and Leila will wait until I give you instructions.

　I give the order and look around at the faces of my men standing in line.

"Each of you, begin your march!
""Oh!"

　Some in cars, some on motorcycles, some on trucks, some on foot, and some on foot, began to march to the point they were directed to.
