27.This Is War 【寝こみを襲う(刃物付き)】
フォカロルで物資の補充を兼ねて一夜を過ごす一二三たち遠征軍から、深夜のうちに20人程度のグループが密かに街を出て行く。
アリッサが率いる三番隊だ。
一部を国境への移動中における警戒任務の為に残し、先行する。
「で、夜のうちにぼんやりしている国境の連中を殺すわけだ」
何故か、軍を率いるはずの一二三が三番隊の先頭を走っている。
「普通は、お互いの数が揃ってから始まるものだと思うんだけど......」
「普通とか言う考えを捨てろ。別に約束をした組手じゃないんだ。戦争は何をやってでも勝った方が正義で、負けた方は全てを失う事を忘れるな」
「ご、ごめん......」
音を押さえる為、全員が徒歩である。
一二三はこの世界で特注で作らせた草履のような物を履いており、他の全員は靴底に綿を仕込んで足音を押さえる工夫をしたブーツを履いている。
それでも、隊員たちの足音はそれなりに聞こえるが、一二三からはほとんど聞こえない。
「全員、聞け」
休憩を挟みながら歩き、明け方近くにはもう五分も走れば国境という所までたどり着いた。全員が肩で息をしているが、一二三だけは軽く呼吸を整えたあとは平然としている。
「教えたとおりだ。相手の視界を読め。狙うのは喉だけだ。音を立てるな。声を上げさせるな」
指を立てながら話す一二三に、全員が無言で頷く。
「作戦は出発前に説明した通り、変更はない。行け」
隊員たちは明かりもつけないまま、三人ずつ順番に国境方面へと消えて行く。
「行くぞ」
全員を見届けた後、一二三はアリッサを連れて国境へ向かう。
他の隊員と違い、堂々と正面から。
国境の砦、その中を潜る通路のオーソングランデ側には二人の兵士が立っているのが、ゆらゆらと揺れる松明に照らされて見えた。戦争があるかもしれないという話がここまで届いているらしく、仕切りにヴィシー側を気にしながら、やや緊張しているようだ。
特に動きが無いあたり、先に行かせた隊員たちは、無事気づかれる事なく国境を越えたようだ。
「ご苦労」
そこに、不意に声をかけられたものだから同様するのも仕方がない。
彼らの目の前に明かりも持たずに現れたのは、アリッサを連れた一二三だ。
「こんな夜中に......?」
「まあ、事情があるからな」
言いながら、一二三は通行許可証を取り出して見せた。子爵扱いである事が明記された新しい書類だ。
「これは......! 失礼いたしました!」
背筋を伸ばして謝罪する兵に、一二三は軽く手を振って応える。
「気にしなくてい。所で、こちらは二人だけのようだが、あちらさんもそうかな?」
一二三が指を差して示したのは、砦の通路の向こう、ヴィシーの方だ。
「は? はい、夜間は両国ともに二人ずつが慣習となっていると聞いております」
基本的に夜間は閉鎖となっているので、人数は最小限にしてるらしい。
「そうか。アリッサ、二人共俺がやるぞ」
「わかった」
一二三たちの会話に訝しむ兵達を尻目に、どんどんとヴィシー側へ近づく。
いつの間にか、一二三の腰には刀が提げられていた。
「ん? こんな夜中に誰だ?」
と、ヴィシー側の兵が振り向いた時には、その首は胴から離れている。
「誰かと問われれば、今の俺は侵略者だな」
刀を振り抜く前に見つけていたもう一人も、何かしらの反応を見せる前に殺された。
背後の通路では、先ほど話した兵が驚愕の表情で見ていた。
振り返り、刀を納めながら一二三は笑った。
「今から戦争を開始する。国境を越えようとする奴全員に伝えろ。巻き込まれて死んでも知らんとな」
一二三がのんびりと国境を侵犯している間に、ヴィシー側の兵舎では一人ずつ静かに殺されていた。
建物周りを巡回していた三人の兵は真っ先に喉を裂かれて打ち捨てられ、残りの兵たちは眠りから覚めることなく死んだ。
夜が明けて、国境へと遠征軍本体が到着する頃には全て片付いており、国境の砦に背中を預けて一二三が待っていた。他の隊員たちは、豪胆にもヴィシー側の砦で仮眠を取っている。初めて夜襲を経験した彼らは一様に興奮しており、今後の作戦行動への影響を考えて、今は寝ていろと一二三が命じたのだ。
一二三の姿が見えると、オリガが馬車を降りて駆け寄ってきた。
「ご主人様! 遠征軍本隊は特に問題ありません!」
「わかった。では国境の向こう側、ヴィシーの兵舎を拠点として作戦行動の準備だ。昼を食ったら出るぞ」
オリガは急いで隊員たちの元へ戻り、カーシャと共に指示を出して国境を越えていった。
「さて......俺も一眠りするか」
思う様暴れるための準備はできている。簡単だが計画も立てた。相手が思い通りに動かなくても、それはそれで面白いと思うので、なるべく計画はシンプルにと考えている。
そんな事を考えていると、パジョーが近づいてくる。
「戦況を教えてもらえないかしら」
「国境に居たヴィシーの兵が何十人か死んだ。こっちは被害なし」
筆記具を手に尋ねてくる彼女に、一二三はさらりと答える。
「眠っている所を襲ったと聞いたのだけれど......」
「その為に夜襲を選んだんだ。当たり前だろう」
当然のことだと言い捨てた一二三に、パジョーはそれ以上何も言えなかった。おそらく、これから先、この戦争は自分の理解を越えた事がまだまだ起こるのだろう。いちいち反応していては疲れるだけだと、疲れるだけならまだしも、一つ間違えば自分は簡単に“処分”されてしまうだろう。
「......わかったわ。私も少し休ませてもらうわね」
国境近くの街、アロセールの最後の日は、一人の若い男が、街の代表の館を訪れた事から始まった。
「この街の今の代表はいるか?」
突然やってきて、いきなり代表を出せと言い出した男に、対応に出た女性の職員は怒りを覚えた。ただでさえ、オーソングランデから届いた恭順を迫る書類への対応のため、対策の検討と防衛の準備に大わらわなのだ。
どうせ約束もなしに何か売りつけにでも来たのだろうと決めつけた職員は、不機嫌も顕に言う。
「約束か。数日前に手紙を送ったんだがな」
「お手紙、ですか?」
この世界、魔物や交通網の事情もあり、手紙を送るのはそれなりに裕福な人物だけだ。実は目の前の若い男はキチンとアポを取った客で、対応を誤ったかと不安になった職員だが、実際はそれどころではなかった。
「ああ、俺たちと仲間になるか、戦うかを手紙で送っておいたんだ。その返事を聞きに来た」
懐から取り出して見せた書類は、間違いなくオーソングランデで正式に発行された通行許可証で、目の前の男は子爵だという。
「しょ、少々お待ちくださいぃ!」
予想外にも程がある来客に、職員は上ずった声で叫びながら、代表の執務室へと駆け込んだ。
その報告を聞いた代表以下の職員たちは、全員が大慌てで出迎えの準備をした。どんな返答をするにしても、共も連れずに単身やってきた貴族に対して、敵意は無かろうと判断し、まずは丁寧な対応をしなければならないと代表が指示したのだ。
その間に、一二三が以前の代表オティスを誘拐した際に、情報を聞き出して首を絞めて気絶させられた線の細い職員が、一二三を遠目に確認して本人だと確認した。顔を見た瞬間に、一二三の視線が職員を向いて笑顔が向けられた事で、職員は震えが止まらなくなって医務室へと連れて行かれる羽目になったが。
「一二三様のお噂はかねがね......」
「回りくどい挨拶は要らない。まずは返事をもらおう。話はそれからだ」
まずは下手に出て挨拶から入ろうとした所を遮られ、キュルソンは鼻白らんだ。ヴィシーに貴族はいないが、オーソングランデを始めとした他国の貴族との商談は何度もこなしてきたが、こういう相手は居なかった。
一二三の若さから、キュルソンは結果を急ぐ経験の少ない貴族だと判断した。
「申し訳ありませんが、オーソングランデより届きました文書に関しては、まだ内容の精査中でございまして、返答はお待ちいただきたいのですが」
当たり障りの無い所で言葉を濁しておいて、一旦は帰らせようと返事をしたキュルソンを、一二三は鼻で笑った。
「フッ、ここの行政機関はずいぶんのんびりしているんだな。代表を連れ去られて、抵抗して滅ぼされるか併合されるかを問われているというのに、数日かけても対応が決まっていないとは」
「......その犯人に言われるとは思いませんでしたがね......。あのな小僧、貴族だから多少は下手に出てやろうと思ったが、こっちはお前を犯罪者として捕まえてもいいんだぞ? 多少の無礼は目を瞑ってやるから、今は帰れ」
一二三の対応に、キュルソンは目つきも口調も変わった。
「若いから結果を急ぐのはわかるが、国と国のやりとりに首を突っ込むのは10年早い。第一、オーソングランデからの文書は常軌を逸した脅迫文だ。国政に首を突っ込んで、たまたま多少の戦果という犯罪をやったガキがいたから、トチ狂ってこんな文書を出したんだろう? 政治を馬鹿にするといずれ痛い目を見るぞ」
「なるほど、つまりこちらの要求を呑む事はできない、と」
「当然だ。だがオーソングランデの兵力でヴィシーに攻め込むなど考えるなよ? 兵力的にも資金力を考えても、まともにぶつかり合ってオーソングランデが勝てるわけがないだろう。この街だけでもそうだ。充分に防衛ができる用意はあるからな」
どうやら、キュルソンはオティスが無能なだけだと判断し、一二三の実力に対してはさほど評価をしていないようだった。
そう考えた一二三は、ため息をつきながら背もたれに寄りかかって天井を見上げた。
「よくよく考えて見ろ。俺は何故一人でここに来たと思う? 自分の力を過信した馬鹿だと思ったか? 攻撃される事は無いと高を括った阿呆だと?」
「......何を言っている?」
「国同士のやり取りを甘く見ているのはどっちだと言っているんだ。どいつもこいつも、何故相手が真正面から分かりやすく攻めてくると考えるんだ」
語りながら、薄笑いを浮かべていた一二三の顔が、次第に怒りに強ばっていく。
「キュルソンと言ったな。ここで自分が殺される可能性は考えていないのか? 例えば、密かに入り込んだ俺の手の者が各所の兵士詰所を襲撃している可能性は? 戦いになる前にお前の手駒が無くなっているとしたら、どうする?」
「ま、まさか......しかし、まだ返答はしていない!」
キュルソンは顔中を汗で濡らし、そわそわと腰が浮いている。
「その文書自体が、お前ら為政者を縛り付ける策だとは、最期まで気付けなかったか。信用は大切だが、そこまで行くと立派なお花畑だな」
立ち上がり、ごく自然な仕草で刀を抜いて、突き出した。
「! ......!?」
切っ先はキュルソンの肺を貫いた。痛みと呼吸不全で血反吐をまき散らしながら七転八倒する様を見て、呆然としていた女性職員は、尻餅をついて、訳も分からずただ泣いていた。
「お前たちの代表は、もうすぐ死ぬが、お前はどうする?」
「こ、殺さないでください......。お願いします......まだ死にたくない......」
床に這いつくばって命乞いをする職員に、気勢が削がれた一二三は、納刀してキュルソンの方を見たが、いつの間にか、事切れていた。目を見開いて苦悶に満ちた表情のまま死んでいる。
「戦いを選ばないなら、すぐに街全体に宣伝しろ。この街は今日からオーソングランデに編入されたと」
「子爵、ご無事ですか?」
「当たり前だ。お前たちの方はどうなった?」
「全ての兵士詰所は問題なく処理が完了いたしました!」
一二三が会談を行っている間に、アリッサから聞き出していた兵士詰所に、密かに街へ侵入した三番隊が分散してあたり、ほぼ同時に強襲したのだ。数人が抵抗された際に軽い怪我を負った程度で、兵は全員殺害している。
未だ立ち上がれない女性職員は、信じられない内容を聞いたという顔だ。
「聞いたな」
「兵は使えなくなった。この館の職員だけで住民に伝達しろ。すぐにだ。文句がある奴はここに来るように言え。殺すから」
躊躇していたものの早く行けと一二三に言われて、這うように部屋を出て行く職員を、報告した兵は敵国ながら可哀想にと見ていた。
「一番隊、二番隊はどうしている?」
「予定通り、街の全ての出入り口を封鎖しております」
「よし、状況を見に行く。2組はここに残って、妙な動きをする奴がいたら殺せ」
残りの隊員を引き連れて、一二三は意気揚々と館を出ていった。
こうして、この世界で初めて行われた一方的な侵略によって、アロセールは小規模な都市国家としての歴史を終え、単なる一地方の街へと変わった。
この事実は、周辺の都市だけでなく、中央まで瞬く間に伝わった。そこで初めてヴィシーは気づかされた事になる。
Chapter 27: This Is War
Because Hifumi's expeditionary force had to replenish their supplies at Fokalore, they used the time to spend a night there. Deep in the night a group of about 20 people secretly left the city.
It was the third unit led by Alyssa.
For the sake of an advance mission, they went ahead and moved towards the national border.
"So, the reason is to kill the careless border company under cover of the night." (Hifumi)
For some reason the commander of the forces, Hifumi, was running as vanguard ahead of the third unit.
"I think usually you would wait with starting until both sides gathered their troops, but ..." (Alyssa)
"Discard the usual way of thinking. It's not like we have to particularly watch out for some promise. No matter what you do while at war, the victorious side is justified. Don't forget that the losing side has to yield everything to the winner." (Hifumi)
"I-I'm sorry ..." (Alyssa)
Aiming to suppress any sound, all of them were walking.
Hifumi wore something similar to order-made zouri1 produced in this world as footwear. For all of the others he came up with the ingenious idea to attach cotton to the shoe sole of their boots in order to restrain the sound of foot steps.
Even so, although the foot steps of the troops were audible in their own way, Hifumi's practically couldn't be heard.
"Everybody, listen." (Hifumi)
Inserting a break during the walking, they had only half of the way left before arriving at the national border as dawn was closing in.
"Just as you were taught. Predict the visual field of your opponent. Only aim at the throat. Don't make any sound. Don't raise your voice." (Hifumi)
While speaking Hifumi raised for each point a finger. Everyone nodded in silence.
"You were told the strategy before departure, there won't be any changes. Go!" (Hifumi)
Without using any light, they vanished in turn, 3 soldiers each, in the direction of the border.
"I am off." (Hifumi)
After making sure everyone left, Hifumi took Alyssa and went towards the border.
Different from the other troops, he boldly charged in from the front.
At the border fortress, there was a pathway going through on the Orsongrande's side. Two soldiers were standing guard. The shining of the flickering and swaying torchlight could be seen.
There was no particular movement on the other side. The previously passing troops obviously had crossed the border without being noticed.
"Good work." (Hifumi)
When they were suddenly greeted, they couldn't help it but turn around.
In front of their eyes, Alyssa led by Hifumi appeared without holding any kind of light source.
"In the dead of the night ... ?" (Soldier A)
"Maa, there are some circumstances." (Hifumi)
It was a new document specifying him to be treated as viscount.
"This is ... ! Excuse our impoliteness!" (Soldier A)
Straightening up his back, the soldier apologized. Hifumi lightly waved his hands in response.
"Don't mind it. By the way, it looks like there is only two of you here, however, is it the same over there too?" (Hifumi)
Hifumi rose his finger pointing at the side of Vichy's on the other side of the passage through the fortress.
"Huh? Yes, I heard that it is the custom for both countries to place a couple of guards at night-time." (Soldier A, formal tone)
Given that the border was basically closed during the night, apparently the number of soldiers stationed was at its minimum.
"Is that so? Alyssa, I will take both of them down." (Hifumi)
"Understood" (Alyssa)
Being doubtful of Hifumi's and Alyssa's conversation, the soldiers gave each other a sidelong glance. Steadily they were approaching Vichy's side.
Before anyone noticed, there was a katana hanging on Hifumi's waist.
"N? At such late time, who is it?" (Vichy Soldier A)
When the Vichy soldier turned around, his head was separated from his torso.
"If asked by anyone, currently I am an invader." (Hifumi)
Swinging the katana before the other soldier was able to detect the drawing, he was slain before he was able to show any kind of reaction.
The soldiers, who Hifumi's group conversed with in the back of the passage just now, watched with a shocked facial expression.
Looking back, Hifumi stored the katana while laughing.
"From this moment on the war has started. Convey this to everyone trying to cross the border. They should be aware that they will be dragged into it and die, too." (Hifumi)
While Hifumi was violating the national border at leisure, the soldiers in the barracks on Vichy's side were killed silently.
The three soldiers patrolling the surrounding of the buildings had their throats sliced open and were abandoned just like that. The remaining soldiers died never waking up from their slumber.
At dawn, when the main part of the expeditionary force arrived at the border, everything was finished. Hifumi was leaning with his back on the border fortress and waited for them. (T/N: Orsongrande side)
Seeing Hifumi's figure, Origa descended from the carriage and came over in a rush.
"Master! There are no particular problems with the main body of the expeditionary force to report!" (Origa)
"Understood. Well then, prepare for the military maneuvers on the Vichy's side of the border using the barracks as base. I will leave after eating lunch." (Hifumi)
Origa hurried back to her original position among the troops. Together with Kasha, they issued instructions to cross the border.
"Now then ... I should take a nap, too, huh?" (Hifumi)
Even if his opponent didn't move as he wanted, in that case he expected it to become interesting and thus came up with a plan that was as simple as possible.
As he was thinking about such things, Pajou approached.
"I wondered whether you couldn't give me some information on the progress of the war." (Pajou)
"The soldiers of Vichy who were at the border, several tens of them, died. Our side incurred no damage." (Hifumi)
Hifumi answered her question smoothly as she was holding writing materials in her hands.
"I heard they were assaulted at the place they slept, but ..." (Pajou)
"That's the reason why I chose a night attack. Quite obviously." (Hifumi)
Reacting each and every time will only tire me out. Rather it's better if it's only getting tired as a single mistake by myself can easily end up with me being "disposed."
"... I understand. I will also take a small break." (Pajou)
It all started in the city near the border, Arosel, with the incident of a single young man visiting the mansion of the city's representative on the last day.
"Is the representative of this city currently in?" (-)
A man suddenly appearing and without warning asking to be shown to the representative,  the female servant got angry dealing with him.
, the servant arbitrarily decided for herself exposing her displeasure in her words as well.
"Appointment, huh? I sent a letter a few days ago." (-)
"A letter, huh?" (Servant)
In this world where there were monsters to consider in regards to the transportation network, the sending of letters was limited to only prosperous figures.
"Ah, I asked whether he would become our companion and fight alongside us in the letter. I came here to listen to the reply to that." (-)
Taking it out from his breast pocket, he showed a document to her. It was unmistakably an officially issued passport from Orsongrande declaring the man in front of her as an Viscount.
"Pl-Please wait a moment, Your Excellency." (Servant)
Due to the totally unforeseen rank of the visitor, the servant shrieked with a shrill and nervous voice while rushing towards the office of the representative.
No matter on what kind of reply he would decide, towards a noble, who didn't take along anyone and came here by himself, the representative judged him to not be hostile and instructed that he should be handled courteously for starters.
In the meanwhile it was confirmed by a thin shaped servant from a distance, that Hifumi was the person, who had kidnapped the previous city representative Ortis and strangled him until fainting in order to obtain information out of him.
"I have heard a little bit of rumor about Hifumi-sama already ..." (Kyulson)
"I don't need any roundabout greetings. First, let's hear your answer. Then we can proceed the conversation from there." (Hifumi)
Although he wasn't a noble in Vichy, he had often negotiated with nobles coming from foreign countries, including Orsongrande, in the past. Yet he didn't meet such a noble until now.
Judging Hifumi's youth, Kiyulson concluded him to be a noble rushing for results due to his scarce experience.
"I am very sorry. Related to the document delivered from Orsongrande, we unfortunately weren't able to carefully examine it yet. Please wait for the reply until then." (Kyulson)
Towards the harmless and inoffensive reply of not committing himself in any way while at the same time asking him to temporarily return until Kyulson could come up with his answer, Hifumi laughed scornfully.
"Fu, the local administration here takes it obviously quite easy. The representative was kidnapped and even though questioned whether they want to resist their ruin or join the other side, they weren't able to come up with a decision on how to deal with it within a few days either." (Hifumi)
"... I can't believe this was said by the criminal himself, honestly ... Hey youngster, I think you should behave more modestly even if you are a noble. You do realize that it would be fine to arrest you as a criminal here, right? Since I will close my eyes towards the amount of rudeness you showed here, go back now." (Kyulson)
Dealing with Hifumi, Kyulson's look and tone changed.
"I understand that you want to rush the results due to your youth, but you are 10 years too early to stick your nose into the exchanges between nations. In the first place, the documents from Orsongrande are an aberrant threatening letter. Meddling in our national politics just because of some brat who managed to somehow get some military gains due to committing crimes, is this document supposed to be a joke? Looking down on our government will sooner or later cause you a painful experience." (Kyulson)
"I see, in other words you don't intend to accept our demands." (Hifumi)
"Of course not. Do you think that Orsongrande has the necessary military forces to invade into Vichy? Just considering the financial clout to fund the military forces, there is no way for Orsongrande to win a war in a direct confrontation. That already applies to only this city. We have plenty of defensive forces to deploy." (Kyulson
Apparently Kyulson had judged Ortis to be the only incompetent person. He didn't seem to acknowledge the value of Hifumi's ability overly much either.
Pondering about this, Hifumi sighed while leaning back on his chair and staring at the ceiling.
"I see that you haven't thought about it carefully. Do you know why I came here by myself? Did you believe that I am a fool who trusts too much in his own strength? Did you make light of me as a idiot that wouldn't consider to be attacked?" (Hifumi)
"... What are you talking about?" (Kiyulson)
"I wonder which of us two isn't taking the exchange between nations seriously. Every last of you, why do you conclude your opponent would attack in an easily understandable way from the front?" (Hifumi)
While talking the faint smile floating upon Hifumi's face slowly stiffened due to his anger.
"You said you are called Kyulson. Didn't you consider the possibility of me killing you here? For example, did you think of the possibility of my subordinates secretly infiltrating and raiding the soldier posts in each place? Supposing that you lose all your pawns before the actual fighting begins, what will you do?" (Hifumi)
"I-Im-Impossible ... But you haven't heard my reply yet!" (Kyulson)
Kyulson's face was soaked all over in sweat. He was nervous and his back became unsteady.
"This document itself was a plan to restrain your statesmen. You didn't notice until the end, huh? Although trust is important, going this far is like a splendid flower field.2" (Hifumi)
While talking, he stood up and took out the katana in a very natural behaviour and then thrust it.
"! ... !?" (Kyulson)
Watching him painfully breathing and scattering bloody vomit while thrashing about in agony on the ground, the female servant was dumbfounded. Falling on her bottom without grasping the reason for it, she just wept.
"Your representative will die very soon, what will you do?" (Hifumi)
"Pl-Please don't kill me ... pl-please ... I-I don't want to die yet ..." (Servant)
Grovelling on the ground as the servant begged for her life, Hifumi's ardor was dampened and he returned his katana into its scabbard as he watched Kyulson's state, who had died unnoticed.
"If you choose to not fight, announce it immediately in the entire city. This city has been annexed into Orsongrande from today onward." (Hifumi)
"Viscount, are you fine?" (Trooper A)
"Obviously. How did it go on your side?" (Hifumi)
"The disposal of all soldier posts has been completed without any problems, Sir!" (Trooper B)
While Hifumi had gone to the meeting with the representative, Alyssa, after gathering information on the soldiers posts, had secretly infiltrated the city alongside the third unit, which had dispersed in the vicinity. They assaulted the soldier posts almost simultaneously.
The female servant, who still didn't manage to get up, wore a face of disbelief listening to the contents of the talk.
"You heard it." (Hifumi)
"The possibility of using soldiers has vanished. Relay this news to the citizens with only the staff of this mansion. Do it right away. Tell anyone who wants to complain, to come here. So I can kill them." (Hifumi)
Although being hesitant, she quickly moved upon hearing Hifumi's words. To leave the room, the servant crawled on the floor in order to spread the information about the soldiers of the enemy nation while looking pathetic at the same time.
"What about the first and second unit?" (Hifumi)
"As planned, they are blockading all of the city's exits, Sir." (Trooper A)
"Good. I will go check the situation. 2 teams will remain here. In case the servants show unusual movements, kill them." (Hifumi)
Taking the other troops along, Hifumi left the mansion in high spirits.
In this way, they had performed the world's first one-sided invasion. The history of Arosel as small-scale city-state ended and it changed into a simple district city.
This truth wasn't only circulated amongst the surrounding cities but also reached the central government in no time.
