—Let’s reorganize the current situation.

A war is underway between the great Kingdom of Wistaria and one of its noble houses, the Gousser Marquis family, against a small country with no notable history.

The battle on the plains near the border ended in victory for the Gousser Marquis army after Rigel defeated the earth dragon that the enemy had tamed.

Riding that momentum, they advanced into enemy territory, only to be met by a sturdy fortress.

Even with his **[Rape]** skill at level 3, taking down a fortress was no easy task for Rigel.

During this time, they discovered a stray enemy platoon that had failed to retreat into the fortress in time.

In front of the jeering Gousser Marquis soldiers, Rigel publicly raped the platoon’s leader, Amand, and successfully broke her spirit.

And so, the night passed.

(Hahaha! My **[Rape]** skill level went up again! As expected, raping a new woman makes leveling much easier! Doing all those new plays must have helped a lot too!)

Rigel was in an excellent mood as he checked his status screen.

**Skill Name:** Rape

**Rarity:** ★5 (MAX)

**Level:** 4 (Increases based on the number of people raped, number of times, and the content of the acts. Creampies that do not occur are not counted.)

**Effect:** Increases physical abilities and magical power according to skill level. Also gradually removes any aversion toward rape acts. Once the skill level reaches a certain point, new effects will be granted.

(Kukuku... Power is overflowing throughout my body...! At this rate, I should be able to use new magic in addition to fire and recovery spells!)

While he was thinking that, there was a knock at the door — **kon kon** — followed by a voice.

"Excuse me."

A soldier entered the room.

He saluted the moment he stepped inside and spoke.

"Good morning, Supreme Commander Rigel."

"Yeah, morning."

After returning the greeting, Rigel asked:

"So? What do you need?"

"Yes. It’s about the prisoners..."

"I already gave instructions yesterday. The former platoon leader Amand is my woman. I’m not handing her over to you lot."

Rigel declared firmly.

He was a ruthless man with no hesitation in raping women who resisted.

He would use any means — authority, violence, threats — whenever necessary.

However, he had absolutely no interest in sharing any woman he had claimed as his own.

If the woman had been captured purely for that purpose from the start, it might be different, but once he had made a woman his personal property, he had no intention of letting others use her holes.

Hearing his words, the soldier smiled bitterly and said:

"No, we are aware of that, but..."

The soldier’s hesitant tone made Rigel press him.

"What is it? Speak clearly."

The soldier answered apologetically:

"Actually... just a short while ago, we received a report that new enemy civilians have been captured..."

"Another stray platoon? Well, whatever. Just throw them in with Amand’s platoon members from yesterday."

Rigel answered in a bothered tone, but the soldier shook his head.

"That’s not it. The ones we captured this time are villagers from the enemy country..."

"...Hou...?"

Rigel’s interest was piqued.

"So they didn’t evacuate the border villages. Were they overconfident, or just stupid...? Either way, this is convenient."

He grinned.

Because the Gousser Marquis army had won the battle on the plains, the small villages on the enemy’s frontier were now exposed to danger.

The enemy soldiers had retreated in panic, so they probably didn’t have time to issue proper evacuation orders.

"What should we do with them...?"

After pretending to think for a moment, Rigel gave his order.

"Let’s see... Guide me there for now. I’ll check them out myself."

"Understood!"

The soldier bowed and led Rigel to the edge of the encampment.

"Gyahaha!"

"Weeei!"

Loud, crude laughter could be heard.

In the direction the soldiers were looking, captured villagers were sitting tied up with ropes.

Among them were women, some of them crying and screaming.

They all looked malnourished and their clothes were ragged.

(Tch... They’re filthy...)

Rigel frowned at the sight.

There were some young female villagers, but none were his type.

Noticing his gaze, one of the men approached and saluted.

"Thank you for your hard work, Supreme Commander!"

"Yeah, good work."

After a short reply, Rigel asked the soldiers:

"So, what’s all this commotion about?"

"Yes! Among the captured are some young women... The regular soldiers are getting excited."

"Hmm... I see."

Rape was a common occurrence in war.

After victory, it was normal to rape women in occupied territory.

Some men even joined the army just for that purpose.

"..."

Rigel quietly walked closer to the soldiers and the prisoners.

He stopped in front of them and suddenly—

**Crack!**

He kicked the nearest soldier flying.

The sudden act caused an uproar among everyone present.

"Gufu!?"

The soldier flew back with a groan.

While the others stood stunned, Rigel shouted:

"You idiots! We’re about to attack the fortress, and you’re getting distracted by women!? Cut that shit out!!"

""Eeeeh—!?""

The soldiers were stunned by Rigel’s words.

They looked at him with a mix of confusion and fear.

"Listen up! These prisoners — especially the women and children — have much better uses!! Pay attention!!"

Rigel loudly declared to the soldiers.

---

"Mu... Those despicable Wistaria Kingdom bastards...!"

"To think we’ve been pushed this far by a mere noble house..."

Inside the enemy fortress (from Rigel’s perspective).

The commanders receiving reports from each unit wore bitter expressions.

"Losing the earth dragon was completely outside our calculations. Who killed it?"

"The son of the Gousser Marquis family. I believe his name was Rigel von Gousser..."

"Wasn’t the son supposed to be incompetent? I heard his talent was overshadowed by his older sister Mesterica..."

"That doesn’t matter right now! The fact is, the earth dragon was slain!"

"Just how much budget did we pour into taming that earth dragon!? This is infuriating!!"

"At this point, our only choice is to fortify and hold the castle to the end!"

"Indeed. If we can endure, reinforcements from the capital will surely arrive...!"

The commanders’ meeting grew heated.

However—

**DOGOOOOOOON!!**

A sudden deafening roar shook the ground violently.

"Wh-what was that!?"

"What’s happening!?"

The commanders panicked.

Then a loud voice reached their ears.

"ORAAAAAAA!!"

**DOGAAAAAAN!!**

**ZUSHAAAA!!**

Sounds of destruction mixed with screams.

The commanders’ faces turned pale.

One of them shouted:

"D-don’t tell me... they’ve already begun their assault!?"

At those words, the others stood up at once.

"That can’t be! The fortress defenses were supposed to be perfect!"

"Damn it! We need to confirm the situation immediately!"

The commanders rushed outside.

When they reached a spot where they could see the fortress entrance, an unbelievable sight greeted them.

Part of the supposedly sturdy defensive wall had been completely destroyed.

And inside the fortress lay a gigantic boulder several meters in diameter.

"Wh-what... is this...?"

"Did they really smash the wall with that giant rock...?"

"Th-that’s impossible! There shouldn’t be any catapult capable of launching a rock of that size...!"

The commanders stood dumbfounded.

Still, they barely managed to regain their composure and began issuing orders.

"Immediately reorganize the defense units! Hurry!!"

The soldiers scrambled into action.

Although the wall’s destruction was unexpected, it wasn’t fatal yet.

Only a small section had been breached.

With the troops inside the fortress, they could still hold a limited area.

If they could stall the enemy for even a short while, they could perform emergency repairs on the wall.

After that, they just needed to buy time.

Reinforcements from the capital would surely arrive eventually—

"Gyaaaaah!?"

"Guwah!!"

The screams came almost immediately after.

When they looked in that direction, they saw soldiers lying in pools of blood.

"It’s started...! No matter the casualties, we must hold this position...!"

"The battlefield is limited to one section of the fortress... As long as we don’t let them break through there, we can manage."

"This is still a favorable fight for us. If we stay calm, we won’t lose."

The commanders muttered these words as if trying to convince themselves.

But the next instant—

"Gyaaaaaaaah!?"

"Higiiiiii!?"

"Guaaaaaah!!"

More screams rang out.

This time, multiple people screamed simultaneously.

"Something’s wrong... We should still have the advantage in this area..."

"Why are the casualties increasing at such a rapid pace...?"

"Damn it! We can’t grasp the full situation from here! Let’s go check directly!"

The commanders ran toward the scene.

When they arrived, an unbelievable sight greeted them.

"...What... is this...?"

"What the hell are they doing...!?"

The commanders couldn’t help but voice their shock.

What they witnessed was enemy soldiers mercilessly slaughtering their own troops.

Well, that was normal in war, but the problem wasn’t that—

"GYHAHAHA! Come on, try attacking if you can!!"

"Nooooo! Stop! I don’t want to die!!"

"Khh! You cowards! Fight fair and square!!"

The enemy soldiers were using captured women as human shields.

And not just that.

They were killing the defending soldiers while hiding behind the women.

"Iyaaaaaaa!!"

"Calm down! I’ll save you right— guah!?"

"HYAHAHAHA! With that pathetic sword, you think you can defeat us Gousser Marquis soldiers!?"

The enemy troops were rampaging while fully utilizing the female prisoners as shields.

And "shield" was not a metaphor.

It was literal.

The soldiers had tied the naked female captives spread-eagle onto large shields, and several men were carrying those shields forward.

The defending soldiers, distracted by the hostages, couldn’t fight properly.

Taking advantage of that opening, other enemy soldiers emerged from behind the shields and slaughtered the defenders.

"GEHYAHIYAHIYA! Supreme Commander Rigel’s ’Female Slave Barrier’ strategy is the best!!"

"Yeah, seriously! Only the Supreme Commander could come up with such a convenient tool!"

"With this, we’re invincible!!"

The men laughed vulgarly as they rampaged.

Countless corpses lay scattered around them.

It was a horrific scene.

"Khh...! Rigel, you bastard!!!"

"You fiend!! A mere noble house’s whelp!!!"

The commanders trembled with rage.

But there was nothing they could do.

The enemy army had already begun breaking through the defensive line.

And so, the battle began to turn into a completely one-sided massacre.
