Aiming was done using a rear sight rather than an optical sight (scope).
There's no need for precise aim when firing at close range. All I had to do was shoot it properly. Gently pull the trigger.
Tatatatatatatatata! (Machine gun sfx)
From the muzzle with a light continuous firing, bullets (Messenger of Death) were spit out, cutting down enemies.
I was aiming for the legs, but the enemies weren't lined up neatly, they were different heights, and my shooting skill isn't that great to begin with.
So, sometimes those didn't hit the foot, but a little higher, but it couldn't be helped.
A young girl who was attacked by a group of thieves was upset and desperately shooting in self-defense, so the trajectory would be shaken. I didn't even use tracer bullets….
There was little need for tracer bullets at such close range, and the bullets would land much faster than the luminous body burned out, so it was likely that the victim would be miserable…
As for Sabine-chan, after finishing her designated mission, she seemed to be switching magazines and aiming at the general target's leg.
It would have been fine for her to just wait there, but was she going to participate in the fight until the end…?
Well, for Sabine-chan, this was her role as a member of the royal family, and I might be aware that I was just helping out.
As a lord of another territory and I had no direct relationship with this territory.
But Sabine-chan was the royal family of this country.
…in other words, this territory was under the command of the royal family.
But even if that applied to the King and His Highness the Crown Prince, I didn't think it had anything to do with Her Highness Sabine-chan, the Third Princess.
Oh no, I'm out of ammo.
If you keep firing, even 200 belt-fed bullets will only last 17 seconds.
It's quicker to change the whole light machine gun than to replace the pack containing the ammo belt and reload it.
I put away this light machine gun with a continuous transfer, and got another light machine gun on the table with a continuous transfer while paying attention to the direction and height…
Ah.
It was already cleared up.
200 shots for 40 people, 5 shots per person?
No, one out of five shots hits, my shooting skill was that much… Ah, there's Sabine-chan's sniping.
And the first opening fireworks (claymore).
Ah, another man who was trying to escape fell.
Sabine-chan, your skills were too good!
...and then, perhaps because the continuous shooting of the light machine gun stopped, the guards and servants jumped out of the mansion.
Well, we'd like to achieve something great ourselves too...
...it's finished.
With the opening fireworks (claymore) and Sabine-chan's sniping, the number of unharmed enemy quickly fell below 30.
There were 200 rounds of 5.56mm bullets fed from a belt, and Sabine-chan continued to shoot.
The idea of escaping might have occurred to them, but before they could do so, there was no one who had not taken a single bullet.
Some people tried to run after the shooting stopped, but there was no way they could run. Not only they were shot at the legs, but also were shot at the arms and shoulders. They were seized one after another by the servants.
There were some people who have unfortunately ended up in a bad situation, but that couldn't be helped.
Since it was the end of a thug who attacked a nobleman's mansion, there was no choice but to consider them lucky to have died almost instantly without being tortured.
…and about two-thirds of the bandits were still alive.
However, about half of them were unlikely to hold.
Of course, there were those who had been hit by bullets in the torso. There were also those who had severed arteries and could not stop bleeding, even those had only been hit at the legs.
Of course, the magistrate and the commander-like people… out of several people, Maybe few of them who were the winners… but still alive. I took care to make sure that it was like that.
For the time being, I tied a little above the gunshot wound so that they wouldn't die from a lot of blood loss. "Bleeding big service"[1], shut up!
Servants who hadn't declared their participation in the battle... the maids... also appeared, and began to work by tying the wounds of the wounded and making them drink water.
They treated not only allied soldiers who were injured while trying to subdue the rampaging enemy soldiers, but also the enemy soldiers.
Was it the order from Earl, or was it a spontaneous action?
Were there idiots but good-natured people anywhere in this world?
It seemed that the women who were summoned by the magistrate had been captured at the place where the imperial soldiers were hiding.
Since they had started throwing up, the rescue team had already on the way.
Since there were only two soldiers lest on the lookout, if we told them that the main unit had been annihilated, we should be able to release them without a fight.
"Well then, that's all for now. I'll leave the rest to you." (Mitsuha)
“Yeah…” (Earl)
Earl surprised by my words.
But from now on, it was not for us to interfere.
The Earl solved this case on his own with a little help from us. …it would be more convenient for this territory.
Earl should know that much.
And to make a point, from Sabine-chan…
"I saw through the infiltration operation of the empire's special forces, and the power of the Ethnol's territory defeated them with a small army. I will definitely tell His Majesty about the guards, along with a proposal to support the southern territories…"
Wow, the Earl shed tears.
"Ah, thank you very much…" (Earl)
Was it the future of the Ethnol territory, or was it about the one security guard who died as his shield…?
"Captain, let's go home!" (Mitsuha)
"Yeah, it's over already? Are we retreating without even having a chance to play?!" (Captain)
"That's why I explained it to you in the first place!" (Mitsuha)
I didn't forget to transfer not only the weapon ammunition, but also all the scattered shell cases and the metal link parts of the detachable ammo belt.
"Alright, transfer!" (Mitsuha)
Third Person View
Viscount Yamano, Her Highness Princess Sabine, the Divine Soldiers, and numerous Sacred Treasures disappeared in an instant.
Earl Ethnol just stood still without even trying to wipe away his tears.
"Oh, oh…. The rumors that I thought were jokes were all true…. The Sacred Treasure, the Divine Soldier, and the Lightning Archpriestess…" (Earl)
And so, a group of fanatics for Her Imperial Highness the Third Princess and the the Lightning Archpriestess were born throughout an entire territory…
Mitsuha's PoV
Together, Sabine-chan and I delivered it directly to the king.
After I'd said that, they would probably check the situation in the Southern Territories and provide support. I had threatened them by saying things like, "We'll be conducting an infiltration operation by the Imperial Army's special operations forces."
And the problem was…
“What is that? how terrible!!” (Colette)
Yes, Colette-chan, who was left behind in the matter of Ethnol territory, is now the crown jewel!
Well, I got it. A trip with just me and Sabine-chan, on a big dangerous adventure together.
Of course it made her angry. Even I would be furious if was left out like that!
I came to the territory mansion with Sabine-chan and explained the situation, but… Colette-chan's mood didn't seem to improve.
What should I do….
Oh? Sabine-chan turned to me with a confident look.
She just came up with a way to soothe Colette-chan!
As expected, Sabine-chan. Sasu-Sabi!
Come on, let's get that idea out!
"Mitsuha nee-sama, me and Colette, want to study abroad in Japan!" (Sabine)
"… Eh? Eeh? Whaaaaaaat?!" (Mitsuha)
