Free Web NovelChapter 44: The Battle for the Capital Tosh
"Fumu... So that’s the capital of the Valenstein Kingdom, Tosh..." ƒreewebɳovel.com
More than a week had passed since Rigel’s forces departed from Mimetsu.
He looked up at the massive city walls towering before him and muttered with deep emotion.
"We’ve finally made it this far... Still, it’s huge..."
His older sister, Mesterica, who stood beside him, let out a voice of admiration.
Just as she said, the scale of the city was impressive. It appeared to be the most prosperous among all the towns they had visited so far. Its size was easily comparable to the capital of the Goussel Marquis territory.
"Yeah... If we can take this city, the Valenstein Kingdom will be finished."
Rigel grinned. His eyes were filled with absolute confidence in victory.

**Skill Name: Rape**
**Rarity: ★5 (MAX)**
**Level: 5** (Increases based on the number of rapes, frequency, and play content. Creampies that are not performed do not count.)
**Effect:** Increases physical ability and magical power according to skill level. Also removes any sense of aversion toward rape acts. Once the skill reaches a certain level, new effects are granted.
**Additional Effect (Level 5):** Can temporarily boost the physical abilities and magical power of allies according to skill level. The enhancement rate and duration depend on the user’s relationship of trust with the targets.

After invading the town of Mimetsu, Rigel had repeatedly raped Kaine, Princess Nina, and the three beastkin girls — not just once, but regularly, filling them with his seed each time. As a result, his cheat skill **[Rape]** had risen to Level 5.
(Even at Level 4 I was able to completely overwhelm Kaine and Nina... At this point, I can’t imagine losing in a one-on-one fight no matter how disadvantageous the situation is. Plus, I’ve gained a new additional effect, and I also have the information about the secret passage...)
Rigel smirked as he thought about it.
Seeing his expression, Mesterica let out a small sigh.
"...Good grief. You really are as vulgar as ever."
"Hey, hey, Mesterica. That’s a misunderstanding. I’m actually quite the gentleman, you know."
"I wonder which mouth is saying that..."
Mesterica looked exasperated, but she quickly composed herself and asked seriously. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"So? How exactly do you plan to capture this city?"
"Hm? Well, obviously I’m going to—"
"If you say ’by brute force,’ I’ll slap you."
Mesterica cut off Rigel’s words with a sharp warning. He simply shrugged in response.
"I know that. Even with the earth magic I used to smash that fortress, there’s no way I could break walls of this scale."
That was what Rigel said, but deep down he actually had a bit of confidence. His skill level was only 4 when he destroyed the fortress. Now it was 5. He believed he could probably launch an even more powerful attack than before. Still, planning an operation on the assumption it would work was dangerous, and even if he could break the walls, it would be meaningless if they couldn’t follow through.
"First, let’s test the waters. Alright boys! It’s your time!!"
Rigel gave the order.
However, confused voices rose from his soldiers.
"C-Commander Rigel...!? What exactly are you...?"
"You can’t be planning to attack from the front, right!?"
"This is insane!! It’s basically suicide!"
One soldier’s words triggered a wave of opposition from the others. Rigel nodded deeply at them, then grinned.
"You guys are right. Charging straight in from the front would be stupid. However—"
He paused, then activated his skill.
"—With this, we have a chance to break through! —— **[Boost]**!!"
In that instant, Rigel’s body glowed faintly. At the same time, every soldier around him began glowing as well. Mesterica was no exception.
The soldiers stared in shock. After a moment, they began exchanging looks as they noticed the changes in their bodies.
"...What is this?"
"...My body feels so light?"
"...And I feel power surging through me...?"
The soldiers voiced their confusion one after another. Rigel nodded in satisfaction.
"You’ve noticed, huh? This is my new skill — or rather, magic."
In this world, magic such as earth magic and healing magic existed. However, the concept of "skills" was not widely known. Although what he had activated was an effect of his cheat skill **[Rape]**, he chose to explain it as magic.
"The effect is simple and clear. It temporarily boosts the physical abilities of the entire Goussel Marquis Army."
A stir ran through the soldiers after hearing Rigel’s explanation.
"Something like that is possible!?"
"As expected of the Supreme Commander...!"
"With this, we might actually be able to win!"
The soldiers spoke excitedly among themselves. Rigel nodded and continued.
"Everyone, don’t forget to use your 『Female Slave Barrier』! I’ll be fighting alongside you!!"
""Understood!!""
The soldiers replied loudly. Their morale was extremely high.
During the march so far, they had gathered new "Female Slave Barriers." Using town girls from near the capital would likely be more effective than village girls from the border. There was also the possibility that the defending soldiers had blood relatives or acquaintances among them, which would provide a strong psychological effect.
"Now then — let’s go! All troops, charge!!!"
""Uooooooooohhh!!!""
The moment Rigel shouted, the soldiers roared and rushed forward together with their Female Slave Barriers.
Thus, the first act of the battle for the Valenstein Kingdom’s capital, Tosh, had begun.

[Valenstein King’s Perspective]
Around the time Rigel’s Goussel Marquis Army had set up camp near Tosh—
An emergency meeting was being held inside the royal palace of the Valenstein Kingdom.
The topic of discussion was, of course, how to deal with the enemy force — the Goussel Marquis Army.
"To think they would march directly on the capital..."
The one clutching his head was none other than the king of this nation — King Valenstein himself.
He appeared to be in his late fifties. With a splendid mustache and a dignified presence, he carried the air of true royalty.
"Your Majesty... What shall we do?"
