Reincarnated with the Country System-Chapter 188: The Kingdom of Harnas

The Harnas is one of the seven countries located on the continent of Ostra. It is situated in the western part of the continent, bordered by the North Sea to the east and the Aurilea Republic to the west. The kingdom is home to many species, 60% of which are humans.

Its strategic coastal location makes Harnas an important center for trade and naval power.

The kingdom was an ally of Latvia and participated in the attack on Jimland alongside Latvia. However, after the Kingdom of Latvia lost the war, the Bernard Empire sent a message to Harnas demanding their surrender. They gave Harnas three days to respond. When no message came from Harnas within the allotted time, the Bernard Empire was forced to take action.

---

The Bernard Empire decided to attack Harnas after receiving no response. They did not intend to launch a full-scale invasion but rather to demonstrate their military capabilities. They chose Minaret, one of Harnas's largest and most famous port cities, as their target.

★★★

"Are these really the buildings of the navy, the guard, and the Lord's army?" an officer asked a captured sailor from Harnas.

Some forces of the Bernard Empire, stationed in Latvia, had been sent to attack Minaret. They had already destroyed nearby Harnas warships and captured the surviving sailors to gather information.

The investigator grew impatient with the sailor's hesitation and slapped him.

*Slap*

The sailor remained silent but nodded in agreement.

The officer then turned to the sailor and said, "Don't worry. If you provide us with this information, you will be considered a hero."

The sailor stood up and shouted at the officer, "You said it—a hero! But 'selfish traitor' would be a more fitting title for me!"

"You said it yourself," the officer replied. He grabbed the sailor's shoulder and continued, "But in reality, you are a hero because you are saving the lives of many innocent people. If you hadn't given us information about the military installations, we would have had to bomb the entire city, and countless innocent lives would have been lost. So don't be so hard on yourself, okay?"

The officer then began to clap and ordered, "Everyone, clap for the birth of a new hero."

The other members of the interrogation room joined in, clapping and congratulating the captured sailor.

The sailor covered his ears as the officers clapped, feeling as though the people in the room were devils, manipulating him into becoming a cruel traitor who would feel no remorse for his actions.

The officer then said, "Tell the Admiral we have found our target."

Meanwhile, in the palace of the Lord of the Minaret...

A man clad in light plate armor ran down the palace corridor.

Then the man stopped in front of a pair of wooden double doors, and without knocking, he entered the room.

When he entered the room, a man of about sixty years old, who was wearing a luxurious fur coat, suddenly looked at him with angry eyes. "What happened this time??" said the old man inside the room.

"My Lord, an unknown enemy is flying in our skies."

"Is that all? Can't the city's air patrol handle them? I don't have time for those silly problems."

"But, my Lord! This is not the air force of any country we have seen. Please, my Lord, see for yourself."

"What do you mean?" the lord asked.

Hearing his master's words, the man in armor looked at the glass door.

Then he walked towards the door and opened it, leading to a balcony that overlooked the entire city.

Then the man pointed to the sky and said, "Look, my lord, do these things look familiar to you!?"

The lord went out onto the balcony and said to the guard, "I hope this is not some kind of prank or a hoax perpetrated by children."

Then the lord looked up at the sky, and was shocked by what he saw. "What is going on?! Hey! You! Are the air patrols deployed!?"

"They already are, sir, but due to the speed and altitude of these objects, they cannot catch them. Our hawks are not capable of flying that high, my lord."

"Have these creatures done anything yet?" the lord asked, noticing the knight beginning to tremble.

"No, my lord. They have just been flying around the city and have not caused any destruction yet."

The lord looked at the knight and ordered, "Tell the air patrol to monitor these things closely and remain alert."

"As you wish, my Lord!" the knight replied, turning and walking out the door. Then the Lord looked up at the sky again and began to talk to himself.

"What kind of creatures are these, hmm, they don't seem to have wings, but they can still fly. Wait!" The Lord touched his chin and tried to think of something. After a few seconds, the Lord clapped his hands and said, "Now I think that the Aurilea Republic made gliders, but it's quite impressive to think that they can reach such speeds."

-----------------------------------

The huge hawks flying in the sky were so visible on the ground that they blocked the sunlight with their huge shape and created shadows on the ground. Above the hawks, another flying creature circled for several minutes, doing nothing.

The captain of the air guard was looking at the sword-like objects in the sky, the height of the object was such that no flying creature or animal could reach it. The captain, who was paying attention to the objects, suddenly noticed that the height of the flying swords was decreasing.

"Friends, prepare for battle!" The captain of the air guard shouted. But as they were preparing for battle, two flying swords suddenly dropped something from above, which fell on the roof of the Navy Department.

After a while, the objects the flying swords were dropping suddenly came into contact with the building, which suddenly caused an explosion.

Their guards were so stunned by this that they could not react. The captain of the air guard tried to gather his strength, but when he came to his senses, he immediately shouted, "Go after them!"

The huge hawks they were riding in began to fly towards the aircraft, but the loud noise created by the enemy's turbine engines scared the birds away. The flying swords then headed towards the city barracks, where they dropped the same objects as before.

Boom

"Captain, what are we going to do?? These creatures are too fast for our hawks to follow. Not only that, but the noise they make scares our birds as well." One of the captain's subordinates asked.

The captain did not answer the subordinate, but ordered his "hawks" to chase the jets at full speed. The subordinate was surprised by the captain's actions, but when he looked at their headquarters, the subordinate finally understood why the captain did this.

The flying swords were heading towards their headquarters, which forced him to fly towards the building. But they were too late, as the flying swords had thrown the same object, completely destroying the headquarters known as their secondary home.

...

"This... is impossible!" the lord shouted, looking at the destroyed city defense headquarters. "This is some kind of fun, right!?" the lord asked the frightened maid who had brought him tea.
