I Already Know My Magic Power Is Ridiculously High! Now I Just Need a Cute Wife... - Episode 38

(Well then, what should we do about the opening strike?)

Long-range bombing magic has been a siege warfare tactic used by nobles since ancient times, but because of that, countermeasures have been implemented.

By using building materials that have the effect of attenuating magical effects on the outer walls, or by employing a barrage of satellite-class magical projectiles to redirect the magic and avoid direct hits, it is possible to respond to such threats.

So this time, just because there are no star-class mages, using magic carelessly could cause unnecessary damage to the surroundings.

On the other hand, weapons like the Meteor Ray have such strong firepower that they could potentially penetrate the fortress.

Therefore, it would be best to focus solely on the outer wall here and ensure its destruction with a single strike.

I take a gold coin out of my pocket and flick it with my finger.

Catch it, grip it tightly, and pour in a massive amount of magical power.

“Alright, let’s give it our all like we haven’t in a while.”

The most primitive means of long-range attack, throwing.

Aquila was the same, but the throwing attacks unleashed from a star-class physique are a threat.

It has such simple destructive power that it can launch objects at speeds many times faster than an active Major League Baseball player, making one mistake it for a cannonball.

(This time, I’m only throwing this gold coin.)

If you throw a gold coin flat and horizontally, you can minimize air resistance as much as possible, so it will go much faster than a baseball.

Above all, it’s great not to be hindered by magic.

(You know, I’ve always liked throwing things far away since I was a kid.)

In my childhood, I put all my effort into paper cup rockets and spitting watermelon seeds.

I still remember how the footage of the overseas “pumpkin throwing contest” I saw on TV back in the day completely captivated me.

With a massive device that could only be considered a weapon, launching pumpkins over a thousand meters, the level of passion was off the charts.

(I never thought I would have to face something so seriously in this other world too.)

The baseball pitching form I dabbled in a bit back in the day.

Now, with the addition of the element of magic, it has literally gained murderous destructive power.

From the setup, with a fluid motion, swing down hard with the right arm.

“Raaaaah!”

From the release point, it shoots out gold coins at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

The gold coin, creating a sonic boom, reaches the western wall in an instant and embeds itself deeply into the wall.

From the inside of the outer wall, a gold coin caused a massive explosion, and the outer wall was blown to smithereens.

“Alright”

The outer wall is peeling, and chaos is breaking out inside the fortress.

Next, I quickly “magic doping” the soldiers.

“It’s here, this is it…”

“Oh? Power?”

“Ah, no way…”

“What is this? Shugo, shugo go…”

The soldiers begin to be enveloped by red magic.

This time, since the militia members are also involved, it’s a bit more subdued than last time.

“Listen up, everyone! We will now take the fort! Now is the time to seize Bangwall and reclaim all the western region of the Elhoro River for Ortenos! And let Naia know, as long as this Shalka is here, we will never let them set foot on this land again!”

I rallied the soldiers and raised the pipe high into the sky.

It’s settled then. At times like this, saying something a bit grand will get everyone excited.

“「「Oooooo！」」

The soldiers were also in high spirits.

Everyone has red streaks running across their faces, but it seems they are somehow managing to control their power.

As expected, the effects of having acclimated a few times are starting to show.

“Then everyone, let’s set out!”

By the way, I’m not going out this time.

You might think it’s cold, but as a superior, it’s ungracious to take credit for your subordinates’ achievements.

It is also the duty of a superior officer to silently see off the soldiers.

“「「Hyaaaahhhaaaaaaaahhh!」」”

“……”

The subordinates, while letting out strange cries, rushed into the fortress.

The sounds of wailing and screaming could be heard from inside the fortress.

“Hahaha, finally I can go wild!”

“Hehe, I can finally unleash this power to its fullest… Nuuoooh! Naia’s annihilation!”

“Die, you filthy scum of Naia! I won’t stop until your bl00d turns into a river!”

It felt like, somehow, the more reason I had left, the more my cruelty increased.

As expected, controlling and using magic seems to be quite difficult for me.

“Your Excellency, we have completed the capture of Bangwall Fort.”

The expressionless female officer said flatly.

It ended up being quite anticlimactic, but we successfully captured Bangwall Fort.

“Ah…”

“Is something the matter?”

“No, I just let my guard down a bit.”

“I’ve been on the go since this morning, so it’s only natural.”

Indeed, I had accumulated quite a bit of mental fatigue.

That aside, when you suddenly calm down, you start to see various things clearly.

“This is bad.”

“Is it bad?”

“Ah”

“W-What on earth?”

The female officer gulped and looked at me with a tense expression.

I’ve been trying not to think about it, but when I really think about it, I realize it’s a serious problem.

“I might have been too successful.”

“……Yes”

Today’s achievements

The subjugation of Barbato von Naia

The defeat of Hero Aquila

Capture of Bangwall Fort.
