"Ugh, damn it's cold."

Ential clutched at his barely adequate winter gear, enduring the chill of the night air. The flames from torches and campfires warmed the surrounding air, but the freezing midnight air was far too harsh to be dealt with by mere bonfires.

"Shit, what rotten luck. Night watch on a night like this..."

"Hey mister, if you say stuff like that, the knights will have your head."

A relatively young guy wearing an ill-fitting helmet smirked. Outside the camp, there was already an adventurer lying dead as an example—executed by a knight for insulting the Baroness and charged with noble defamation.

"Did I badmouth the Baroness or something? It's not like I was going 'whining' like some people."

"Your face is full of lewdness. Your heart must be the same. Is your mind filled with lust?"

"My face just looks like this naturally. Watch your mouth, kid."

The young man chuckled and straightened his helmet properly.

"Why'd you join the subjugation force, mister?"

"They're paying. Lost my home. To save a woman."

Quick and concise, but anyone could understand Ential's reasons for joining the subjugation force in one go.

"A woman?"

"Yeah. She exists. Not my wife, but anyway, she exists."

"...Hmm."

The young man looked at Ential with a meaningful gaze, and Ential coughed awkwardly, feeling guilty. There was nothing wrong with joining the subjugation force to save an acquaintance's woman, but if that woman happened to be that acquaintance's wife, that created all sorts of awkward problems.

"I see. I hope she's still alive."

"Yeah, well. So why'd you join?"

"To beat down the Demon King's army."

The young man lifted a worn-out iron mace from his waist. The mace, which must have originally been fairly well-formed, was covered in blood. Ential gulped.

"You know what this is? God sent it to me to smash countless demons. Over a hundred monsters have died to this mace."

"...That's impressive. Doesn't look it, but did you kill them, young man?"

"No. Mine's this one."

The young man pointed to another mace strapped to his back. It was a mace used by the Goddess Church's Holy Knights, and only then did Ential realize who he was dealing with.

"A, a priest?!"

"May the Goddess's guidance be with you. But right now, let's just talk person to person. I'm just out for a walk, so don't worry about it."

"Ah, yes..."

Ential reflexively swallowed. Even if he was a priest of the Goddess Church, he couldn't read minds. Ential stared straight ahead with an even stiffer posture than before.

"Were you assigned to the rear this time, mister?"

"Yes, unfortunately I won't be participating in the night raid."

Not unfortunate at all—more like incredibly lucky. Ential didn't want to throw his life away like trash to recapture Zabiyaba with fervor. He just wanted to get his home and property back, but he didn't want to fight while risking his life.

"I see. Then—"

Splat.

Something squishy dropped onto the young priest Francis's helmet. Francis said nothing, and Ential froze with tension. From the sky came the sound of flapping, as if a flock of birds was flying through the night sky.

"...Shall I clean it off for you, Father?"

"Please."

Ential held back his nausea and picked up whatever had fallen on the helmet. And he felt disgusted and puzzled by how much more lumpy it was than expected. For bird droppings, it felt somehow off—

"Ugh?! What the hell is this, shit!"

Ential threw the unidentified something onto the ground, illuminated by the torchlight. A fist-sized red something rolled across the dirt, and Ential's hand was covered in slime from the lump.

"...Wait!"

Seeing Ential's hand, Francis turned pale and grabbed it. He forced the hand open and checked it against the firelight, then Francis wiped Ential's hand with his finger and touched it to his tongue. Ential almost threw up, but

"Slime?"

At Francis's words, his heart sank. And naturally, his head tilted upward.

"...Father, something's in the sky—"

Whoosh, whooshwhooshwhoosh!

With the sound of something spinning round and round, something like a rock—a glass bottle—fell from the sky toward Ential's face. Ential fell backward, and the glass bottle hit his face and shattered into pieces.

Splash, splash!

While glass shards scattered in all directions, the slime fluid inside the bottle also scattered everywhere from the impact. Francis barely managed to catch Ential to prevent his head from cracking, but his lips trembled at the hair-raising sound coming from the sky.

"Goddess..."

High in the sky, invisible to the eye.

Dozens of glass bottles poured down randomly toward the barracks.

***

"Ah, I accidentally dropped it."

Andras felt dizzy looking at the slime fluid that had fallen to the ground. Following her master's orders to break the bottleneck if the stopper wouldn't open properly, she'd broken it, but the force was so strong that the fluid inside had slipped out.

"But it's not a big problem. Hey girls~"

Instead of the glass bottle she'd already dropped, Andras lifted a wooden barrel tied to her belt. The long cup-shaped wooden barrel likewise contained Slime Dragon bodily fluid. Andras's eyes welled up remembering just three weeks ago when she had nothing to eat and drank Slime Dragon fluid from a wooden cup.

"To think it'd be used like this, ugh."

"Boss? You crying?"

"Nah, just got a feather in my eye. Everyone ready? Nobody still holding glass bottles, right?"

The hundred or so harpies in Andras's unit all extended their claws. They too had already thrown everything to the ground except for the wooden barrels tied to their belts. The human barracks was already in chaos.

"Everyone prepare to throw~!"

Andras lifted the handle of the wooden cup from her belt with a relaxed voice. Thanks to the L-shaped handle, Andras and the Harpy Angels were able to arrive at their destination safely without losing the wooden cups hung on their belts. They'd also flown very slowly for the night raid in the first place.

"Girls, we don't even have to aim precisely, okay? But the master set up a reward. He gave me a very special mission."

Andras licked her lips with her tongue and stretched out the wooden cup's handle. All the Harpy Angels held heavy wooden cups in both hands. Each one easily weighed over a liter.

"If you actually kill soldiers with this? I'll personally mention it to the master after the battle ends. Got it? Then... oh right, you guys."

Andras's lips curled up as far as they could go.

"With the master's offspring... hehehe."

"Kyaaaaa!!"

"Ugh, so loud! Keep it down! My ears are killing me! Ahem, focus again!"

The Harpy Angels cheered excitedly, squealing. Andras fully understood their feelings, so she coughed to refocus the Harpy Angels' attention. Below, soldiers were swarming out in response to the commotion.

"The humans are starting to come out. Alright girls, three, two, one—"

Thunk.

Andras gently released the wooden cup. Following her lead, the Harpy Angels also released their wooden cups. Inside the cups was Slime Dragon bodily fluid, its surface cooled and solidified.

Everyone take cover! Protect your heads! Shields up!!

A knight's shout echoed across the entire camp. Soldiers hurriedly raised their round shields to protect their bodies or covered their heads. Perhaps because the wooden cups were much lighter than the initial glass bottles, there wasn't much damage to the soldiers despite falling from such high altitude.

It's just like hail! Don't come out without your helmets, you idiots!!

"Tch."

Andras bit her lip in disappointment. And judging there was no more effect, she untied the knot of the belt firmly bound to her waist.

"Pour it all!"

Following Andras's order, the Harpy Angels extended their claws and cut their belts. The wooden cups dangling from their waists all fell toward the ground at once as the belts themselves were cut.

Crash crash crash!

The wooden cups smashed into pieces hitting the dirt, crates, shields, helmets, and such. After the first soldier hit in the face by Andras's glass bottle, there were no deaths or serious injuries from the wooden cups falling like hail from the sky.

At worst, bruises or contusions.

"Hmm..."

Despite the main aerial assault failing, Andras was satisfied with pouring out every last drop of the fluid. The camp was drenched in Slime Dragon fluid.

"That stuff was pretty tasty though..."

A full ten Slime Dragons used for the aerial assault.

The Slime Dragons hunted and dragged out of the sub-dungeon over three days were used as tools for the aerial assault. They didn't cause many casualties compared to the surprise attack, but

"Mission complete."

Andras grinned and waved her hand at the Harpy Angels. Now much lighter, they could escape from the airspace at high speed.

"Kyahaha!!!"

Andras and the Harpy Angels let out sweet mocking laughter as they returned to Ras Vegas. Enraged humans shot arrows at the sky, but the Harpy Angel unit had already fled to a height the arrows couldn't reach.

***

The harpies returned from the first aerial assault. Fortunately, there were no injuries. Red lines formed on their waists from the tightly tied belts, but the skin wasn't even scraped—embarrassing to even call it an injury.

Thus, I succeeded in carrying out the wooden barrel terror through the harpies. And Gremory, who climbed the watchtower to see my first operation with her own eyes, chided me with a hollow laugh.

"An aerial assault using harpies. The intent was certainly good in terms of a surprise attack, but with this kind of effect, it's completely useless."

Gremory pointed at the enemy camp where the commotion had quickly died down and sighed. Torches swayed here and there, but it wasn't enough chaos to cause a disturbance from the aerial terror.

"It's not like you dumped rocks or anything, you should've made blade fragments and scattered those. To make the camp unusable."

"That's also a good idea. I'll use it next time. But don't be angry, Gremory."

I hugged her from behind and gently tickled her body to calm Gremory's anger. Gremory seemed reluctant but still felt my touch.

"Hmph, so what now. The enemy will thoroughly prepare for aerial assaults now. You didn't even kill many."

"Hehe, this operation's goal wasn't killing in the first place? It's a debuff."

"...What?"

Gremory didn't understand my intent at all. And neither did Lune or Eila. This was a difference that came from gender, from experience.

"Soldiers, you see, are placed in quite a repressive environment and subjected to unreasonable treatment. They have nowhere to regularly release their urges, you know."

I scooped up a handful of Lime's bodily fluid from a glass bottle. Lime—or rather, the slimahole's fluid—was several times more effective than the Slime Dragon's and had the effect of heating up the body with just a little contact.

"Our main purpose using the Harpy Angels for the aerial assault wasn't to crush heads with glass shards or wooden barrels. It's this, this is the main purpose."

The Slime Dragon bodily fluid added to give the containers weight. That wasn't just ballast—the operation's goal was to drench the entire camp in that Slime Dragon fluid.

"It's less than a ton in quantity, but that's all aphrodisiac anyway. Hehe."

Will they move the entire constructed camp, or will they clean it up and keep using it? Either way, it was certain to produce a spectacle worth watching.

"There are armies in the world, you know, that send you to the brig for jerking off because it causes a loss of combat effectiveness. Hehehe, I wonder what the Baroness will do."

Knights and officers as subordinates might be one thing, but as long as the commander Baron is a woman, she won't easily understand the suffering of male soldiers. Moreover, if she controls them to prevent them from even resolving their heated urges alone... Just the thought was thrilling.

"Kuhehe, now the entire force will be in heat and won't know what to do."

Before a proper fight, whittling down the enemy's strength was always the most basic of basics.

A debuff exclusive to the Legion of Wrath.

Area-wide rage.

How long could the subjugation force maintain their composure against this terror that stimulated one of humanity's three great desires?
