DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

"Even if those hyenas didn't set their sights on our treasure, we still offended quite a few countries during the process of rescuing the slaves."

"War was inevitable..."

As is widely known, the slave trade is not widely prohibited in the world of DanMachi; it is only considered a crime in the metropolis of Orario.

Many countries secretly engage in this trade, but they do so discreetly. The desert is the only exception.

They openly kept and sold slaves. The sand ships that Shaga once rode on were even powered by the sweat of hundreds of slaves.

"They're practically like the Celestial Dragons," Sora sighed, feeling helpless.

"It is precisely because we sympathize with those slaves that we desire the complete liberation of slaves, and sooner or later a unified voice will emerge in this desert."

Bai gave a thumbs up: "I think Lady MoriSunmmer would be perfect."

Senxia exclaimed in shock: "Why me?! Why don't you all just continue being kings?"

He spread his hands and said, "Being a king is no fun. Our goal is not to conquer and govern, but to find the most crucial thing for the Industrial Revolution."

Kong You pointed to the very center of the desert, a hellish expanse covered in black, and said:

"Oil. We need what the people here call 'magic water.' With this highly efficient fuel, our progress will be accelerated by hundreds of years."

The desert kingdoms are located in the very center of the world, with Orario to the west and the Sword City to the east, compared to the far east.

Clearly, the desert has more abundant resources and is more suitable for development.

Blank was quite surprised when Senxia asked for help; he never expected that someone would come to his rescue when he was feeling sleepy.

therefore……

"We don't want to play 'Age of Empires,' we want to play 'Civilization.'"

Kong said with a playful expression, "If we built a modern metropolis in another world, wouldn't we, as its creators, naturally be able to claim the title of 'Earth Online' and reach the top?"

Bai, hands on hips and head tilted back: "A blank, undefeated record will be perfect!"

The only game that Blank has never been able to complete is "reality." It's not that they can't achieve greater things, it's simply that they can't find a way to beat this game.

But here, they seem to have found a bit of a rhythm.

If they use their developed civilization to shatter the world's doomsday prophecy, would that count as them completing the game?

After all, every game has a final boss; once you defeat it, you can achieve the happy ending!

Mori Natsumi could not understand the ambition of emptiness.

In her view, pursuing technological advancements in a magical otherworld is simply heresy.

However, she wouldn't interfere with other people's gameplay, especially since the two of them were there to help...

"So, who will be our initial opponent?"

Kong pointed to a small country bordering their territory, near a tributary of the Nile River:

"The Kingdom of Valsha to our east is..."

"The Kingdom of Sharzad to our north."

Bai added, "Their forces number around 20,000, and it is said that a deity is stationed among them."

Mori Natsumi clutched her head: "This isn't 'Yabai-chan' (Oh no!)! It's not just four times the number of troops, is it? Although we have five thousand people, most of them are children, and there are also old people who can't survive and have no fighting ability at all!"

Kongdao: "Those who can truly be considered as troops number less than 500. That is, provided..."

Bai said, "We want to engage them in hand-to-hand combat..."

Senxia said, "You mean, with those improved muskets and cannons? Even so, how effective can mere homemade cannons be against a charge of 20,000 soldiers? They might also have high-ranking adventurers among them!"

Another kingdom skilled in warfare is the Kingdom of Lajiya, led by a war god.

They are a nation ruled by a divine system, and almost all of their citizens are adventurers who have received its blessings. Each time they experience the trials of war, they gain substantial stat boosts.

Otherwise, do you really think the God of War is so stupid as to go to Orario every year to freeload?

Speaking of the crucial issue of combat strength...

"It's alright. Their two countries are currently at war. As long as we take advantage of the situation and take some deserters from them, winning the war shouldn't be a problem. Besides, we have a trump card."

Kong was very confident.

But Bai poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Nee, I think the chances of them taking advantage of the situation are much higher. About 98.75%."

"Isn't this almost 100%!"

Bai Suo gestured with his thumb: "The remaining 1.25% are those among them who happen to be tired of war and want to retire to the mountains."

Sora: "People like that wouldn't choose us anyway!"

Bai: "So the probability is very low."

Hesitating...

A messenger's report came from outside the palace:

"Lord Blank, a troop of 1000 soldiers has arrived outside the city walls! They're heading towards our reservoir!"

Chapter 401 War, Prisoners of War.

"It's here already? It's even faster than I expected."

Senxia asked nervously, "What should we do? Are we really going to go to war? Can't we do it like we do? When there are problems, we can strongly oppose them."

Bai said calmly, "The premise of negotiation is a balance of power, and each side must have the ability to completely overturn the chessboard."

Kong sneered, "Negotiation? I'd be willing, but they've already slapped us in the face. Do we even have a choice now?"

Kong threw down the chess pieces in his hand, disrupted the carefully laid-out sand table, and walked out without looking back.

"Call the guards, let's go and meet these hyenas."

……

Russian qing.

On the fortress tower, Kong stood on the city wall, holding a telescope, and clearly locked onto the movement of that cavalry troop.

"Is everything ready?"

A man dressed as a soldier replied, "Everything has been arranged according to your instructions."

"very good."

Kong looked around.

Although the kingdom's inhabitants were afraid, they all did what they could.

Pushing the cannons and loading ammunition, most of them did not know how to use firearms, but they also took out their earthen bows, ready to contribute their strength at any time.

After acquiring the transfer magic, Kong used the four-dimensional pocket to transfer supplies many times. It can be said that the supplies here are very abundant, and there is no pressure at all when facing a mere 1000 cavalrymen.

only……

When the cavalry were about 500 meters from the fortress, Kong took out a megaphone and shouted loudly:

"Soldiers in front, state your names! If you dare take another step closer, I will consider it an attack on our country, and we will retaliate!"

The enemy cavalry commander pulled on the reins and glanced at the guards on the city wall with a surprised look.

How dare this place call itself a kingdom?

Their numbers were small, but they showed no fear in the face of such a large number of cavalry, which made him hesitate.

A man wearing a desert headscarf and a white veil covering his face laughed loudly:

"Hey, you don't actually listen to that kid's nonsense, do you?"

"Hahaha, it's just a city-state made up of refugees and slaves. Like the previous cities, we'll just loot them, burn them all, and kill them all!"

The knight commander frowned: "Shut up, Marsana. I am the commander of this team."

Marsana is the kin of the evil god Rashap, hired by the king. After they destroyed the capital of Sharzad and released the last crown prince, the Rashap kin carried out massacres along the way in search of him.

Kill everything you see, and plunder all the wealth you find.

Although the Valsha Kingdom, which had the advantage, was also raiding, the actions of the [Lashap Familia] disgusted him.

The knight commander ignored the displeased Marsana, spurred his horse forward, and only spoke after 300 meters:

"We are looking for the Empire's Crown Prince—Prince Alam! Open the city gates immediately, we need to search the city!"

Upon hearing the shout, Kong instantly gathered a wealth of complex intelligence.

"A while ago, I received news that the capital of Sharzard had fallen, but resistance continued in various places, so I didn't pay much attention. But according to him, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Sharzard escaped? Most likely, he disguised himself as a slave and escaped by blending into a caravan!"

'And as long as this last crown prince is not captured, the war between the two sides will not end!'

This is an opportunity!

He first gestured to his men to ask, "Is there such a prince, hidden among the slaves?"

Then, they used a loudspeaker to announce:

"We don't have the crown prince you're looking for here! Please leave! Our country does not welcome soldiers carrying weapons!"

The sergeant's brow furrowed beneath his helmet:
