Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber

---

[Hee-ung…]

After I successfully captured Anna.

With the leader captured, the battle ended abruptly.

[Miro!]
[I was counting on you!!]

To be honest, I think everyone was pretty overwhelmed.

But in the end, did we win because of that? I can see my soldiers joyfully rushing toward me.

“…Let’s at least recover first.”

Of course, I’m happy too, but… honestly, that was really close.

If Anna had fought as well as Loa, we would have lost.

“Phew…”

Sitting down on the ground for a moment, I noticed that quite a few of our soldiers had died.

With Anna’s good armor and weapons, our soldiers were dropping like flies.

A single blow could bring a soldier down.

Still, the good news is that we absorbed Anna’s soldiers with almost no losses, right?

Well, Anna’s side had many injured, too.

Maybe because of their good armor, their dead seemed fewer.

“Sis Loa, gather all the soldiers.”

[Okay, got it.]

Shall we first enjoy some pleasant calculations?

I asked Loa to gather all the remaining soldiers before me.

Our soldiers, as always, look as scruffy as ever….

“Wow.”

But Anna’s side, whoa, why are they so shiny?

I thought they were from the imperial army.

– This is it, lol.

– They seriously look like a bunch of luxury goods.

– How did we manage to win this?

“So, how did we win?”

No matter how you look at it, if it were a straightforward fight, we would have definitely lost.

Plus, the enemy was calmly directing their troops.

But that’s that.

“All right, drop all the armor and weapons here.”

Since we won, we need to take what we can.

As soon as I said that, Anna’s subordinates began to shed tears of anguish as they laid their equipment on the ground.

“Ah, this is so delicious.”

– For real.

– Haha, lol.

– This is just so sweet.

“How did you pull off such great equipment?”

[Ugh… I’m sorry….]

Anna looked aggrieved as she watched her soldiers get their gear seized right in front of her, but it couldn’t be helped.

That’s the fate of a defeated general.

Anyway, let’s start distributing the equipment.

“This looks nice, oh, and this spear here.”

Of course, the highest-ranking person in this army, me, needs to take a bite first.

Since a lot of armor got damaged in this war, I got a fresh set and grabbed some decent weapons.

More surprisingly, Anna’s weapons weren’t that great.

“Why were you using such weapons?”

Her armor was good but she was just holding a cheap sword.

[It’s not like I’m fighting… I have two subordinates for protection.]

“Oh.”

– Hahaha.

– She tried to take a free meal, lol.

– With Anna’s physique, this is indeed how it is, haha.

Well… her subordinates did fight well.

Honestly, I have no idea how I managed to polish them up.

Maybe I shot a mad movie when I was suddenly possessed at that time?

The enemy would have been surprised, too.

“Well then, I won’t take those two.”

I tried to seize the equipment of Anna’s two subordinates as well, but thinking it over, I could just leave them be.

In a way, they’re Anna’s guards and assistants.

Letting them stay like that might be a better way to support Anna.

Next…

“Loa, grab what you want.”

[Is that okay?]

“Of course.”

Starting with Loa, who had performed well at the defense line alongside me.

“Junior too.”

[Oh, thank you!]

I gave something to the junior who had charged the flank with cavalry in the recent battle.

Even the fourth-year junior did decently earlier.

Actually, it was a hammer-and-anvil tactic, but the iron was too hard to forge.

Well, the hammer was a bit small too.

Anyway, it was a relief that I managed to run out alone while leaving our soldiers to tie down the enemy’s feet.

Honestly, even if I had lost, I would just be joining as Anna’s subordinate anyway, and that would have been a fun scenario in its own right.

A choice without risks in a way.

[The equipment I picked…!]

Still, I feel okay seeing Anna like this.

That could have been me, you know?

Well, even if we lost our army’s equipment, I wouldn’t have been that bothered.

Anyway, we finished distributing the equipment and horses and began the military reorganization.

Now, with so many injured, we should find a nearby castle to hide in.

Actually, even though we won and absorbed many soldiers, we still had a heavy loss among the existing troops.

Once again, Anna’s army proved to be a formidable opponent.

Did Miro’s army have about half left now?

But considering that the remaining soldiers survived two battles, they have quite the elite experience now.

[Our Loa army isn’t left with many….]

Well, the attrition certainly hit the Loa army hard.

Between the battle with me and the hammering role played by the Loa army and the fourth-year junior’s remnants, they took a toll indeed.

Still, after using them for cavalry, about 15 are left.

Hmm, this is enough…

“Loa.”

[Uh, yes?]

“You ride well, right?”

[Um… Sure?]

I think I can assign her a contingent.

Loa showed quite the physical prowess and withstood some attacks against me.

It must be due to her stats as a general, but she can definitely be called a good warrior.

“Then, take the remaining cavalry and become the cavalry commander.”

[Can I really?]

“Yes, I’ll set up a separate cavalry formation for you.”

– Wow, lol.

– Cavalry Commander Loa, whoa.

– Being cavalry is legit important.

– Truly, a reliable right arm.

With the remnant forces of the fourth-year junior, I’d just integrate them as they are.

The Loa army still has a bit of potential left, so I can assign a few more of my cavalry to form a special unit.

And as for Anna…

“Anna, you’ll assist me.”

[Um, me?]

“Including your guards and assistants.”

The main force will naturally be led by me.

However, if I rush ahead alone like before, Anna has to command the remaining troops.

I’m sure those subordinates can handle troop management well.

Additionally, allowing them to build up experience like this means later, when their faction grows, I could assign them units of their own.

[W-What about me, senior?]

As I was distributing roles in sequence,

The fourth-year junior timidly asked.

Hmm… where to put the junior?

Actually, she rode quite well when she was used as the hammer earlier.

But her original forces were completely smashed, leaving her a powerless general.

“Go as Loa’s subordinate.”

[Loa Senior’s subordinate…! Understood!]

However, since she seems to have good riding skills and learned cavalry management, it should be fine to keep her next to Loa.

After assigning all the roles, then…

“Phew, shall we transfer the injured now?”

I gathered the wounded who were lying around, waiting to recover.

After all, I was thinking of finding a nearby castle to hide in.

“Alright, everyone take one injured person. Cavalry, be thorough with the scouting.”

When moving the wounded, we could face trouble if attacked.

I dispatched the remaining cavalry to scout while searching for a nearby castle.

Finally, as we came down from the hill and surveyed the area,

In front of us loomed a plausible structure.

Hmm… it looks more like a gate than a castle.

“Loa, take the cavalry and scout ahead.”

[Got it.]

Since there might be other people inside, I sent the cavalry in first to check.

[There’s no one inside! And there’s also a castle!]

“Really?”

Wondering why there was a gate, it turns out there’s a castle inside too.

So it can be blocked from both sides, huh?

It seemed like just the perfect spot to hide, so we ventured inside.

“Oh….”

– Wow.

– What is this??

– Look at the size of that castle, lol.

Inside was indeed a splendid castle.

It felt more like a beautifully crafted castle from Asia than Europe.

[There’s also a gate on the opposite side of the castle.]

“Is that so? The layout is good.”

I noticed that there was a river to the north of the castle, and mountains to the south.

And both sides were openings leading to the gate.

“It’s just like Luoyang.”

Doesn’t it look like the ancient capital of China, Luoyang?

To find a place like this right away, I thought I was quite lucky when we were entering the castle.

[It really is Luoyang, isn’t it?]

“Eh?”

Anna dropped a shocking comment.

“This is China’s map?”

[Oh, did you really not know you were in a map until now?]

“How could I tell?”

[I thought Miro would know right away….]

– Hahaha.

– Exactly.

– After spending hours in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you should instantly know it, haha.

Wait, did they really bring us to China?

This is something.

I didn’t realize it when we were only at the hilltop at the beginning.

Since we only fought battles, this is the first move.

“Why China of all places?”

[Because it’s a war, so we took the Romance of the Three Kingdoms map!]

“Oh, that’s a brilliant choice.”

As expected of Anna.

She’s got a good sense.

When it comes to war, nothing beats the Romance of the Three Kingdoms map.

Yeah, indeed.

“But then, you don’t know what the rest of the map looks like either, right?”

[Well, I assume the other members will figure it out when they brighten up the mini-map?]

“Really?”

[Yeah, they won’t remain clueless after a while.]

Well, I suppose everyone knows the map of China, so it would be strange if they didn’t know.

But then again, I wonder where I was previously.

Coming straight from the hill to the Horo-gwan, was it somewhere near Jingzhou or Xuchang?

I’m not certain about the exact size of the map, so it’s ambiguous.

Anyway.

“Well, it looks like we can make this our base.”

Now I see why Luoyang was the capital.

For moving elsewhere, it’s convenient to be the capital.

And with two gates, defense is easy too.

In that sense, it’s perfect as a base, so I officially declared this as our stronghold.

And afterward.

[We’re all recovered now!]

Once the wounded had fully recovered.

“Alright, let’s go.”

With Luoyang as our stronghold, we entered a full-scale expansion of our forces.
