Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 406
The next day after returning from an outing with Cheryl.
An unexpected guest came.
“Eldmia-sama. A woman who identified herself as the head of the Silver Eagle Brigade in the Kingdom Army came to visit. Have you ever made an appointment?”
Now, I was going to spend the day getting up early in the morning and rechecking equipment and consumables in order to get rid of my laziness and prepare for the operation to recapture Levien, but suddenly I was a guest.
It was even the name of a unit I had never heard of in my life, and if it was in charge, it would be a commander.
“…It’s the first unit name I’ve ever heard of, so why is it familiar?”
“The Silver Eagle Brigade is a unit active on the demon frontline. And it’s also where the soldiers who returned to the capital yesterday belong.”
“Ah! The Eunsu-ri Independent Combat Team belonging to the 3rd Corps of the Kingdom?”
“you’re right.”
After listening to Thieh’s explanation, I remembered. It was definitely a unit I heard about often when I was in the Ogatorv family. It is such a famous unit that even I, who have no interest in the military, has heard of it.
There was a servant who had participated in the war almost from the beginning of the war, made a great achievement, and said that it was a place where there were relatively few casualties.
Besides that, some of the main characters of the story that I have been told come and go are the same people I met yesterday.
“Did you come alone?”
“Yes. It was fully armed, but there was no escort attached.”
It takes full arming, but if you think about yesterday, it must be just a battlefield habit. If he had his mind intact, he would have come to apologize, not to argue.
I decided to meet him to make a good impression since he was someone I would see often anyway.
“I don’t think you’re going to just shine your face for a while, so can you take me inside and prepare some tea? I’ll be right down.”
“What shall we prepare for tea?”
“No… no, coffee please.”
He’s been on the battlefield for a long time, so coffee is better than tea. It wasn’t particularly grounded, but seeing Thieh nod in agreement somehow, she seemed to have come to a similar conclusion.
After briefly tidying up, as she followed her down the stairs, a visitor who had just received a cup of coffee from Thieh stood up and bowed lightly.
“My name is Ranje, a member of the Eunsuri Independent Combat Team. Despite the sudden visit, you welcomed me, but due to military law, I apologize for not being able to give a detailed statement.”
My first impression was ‘small’.
Compared to me, of course, most people are short, but the woman who identified herself as Lange was about 10 cm taller than Esmuier at best. That alone is enough to stand out, but even the hair is a rare short cut, so I was a little surprised.
Did you call that a pixie cut? It’s not that I haven’t seen female knights or female soldiers, but it’s the first time I’ve seen someone with such a short shot.
But most surprising of all was the feeling of an aura. It wasn’t quite as strong as Sir Ekaf, but he had an aura that I felt I could capture, so it was clear that he was strong.
“As you may have known, my name is Eldmia Ega.”
“I heard that your reputation did not spread on the battlefield, so it is surprising that you are a person who has made a lot of merit. I am sorry to greet you first in such an unpleasant matter.”
It must have been because of the commotion yesterday, but to come out like that even though I extorted money from the soldiers and knights under my command in a public place. I was able to smile leisurely because it was so clear at first glance what the other person had come for.
“It’s okay. It was just a small disturbance to fulfill my duty as a soldier. Above all, I’ve already received the settlement money, so there’s no need to apologize.”
For a moment, the anguish of middle management seemed to pass across her face. It seemed that he had misinterpreted my words and judged that there was no way it would end like this.
In the end, Ranze sighed a belated relief when he realized that I would not really tackle yesterday’s problems after talking for a while, taking her words in moderation as she constantly made excuses for the sake of her subordinates while sitting hesitantly. exhaled
“Thank you for the generous treatment. Even though they are poor… kuhum, they are lacking in many subordinates, but they are sincere in their dedication to the kingdom, so I was worried that it might cause other problems.”
Did you mean to say that you’re a shit puppy? Contrary to his dwarf appearance, soldiers seem to be soldiers. Looks like he’s usually throwing all kinds of nutheads at me.
Anyway, it seemed that the atmosphere was safely relaxed, so I secretly asked questions about what I was curious about yesterday.
“Of course, I was a little embarrassed at first. I was suspected of being a demon for nothing. Not just one or two, but everyone present seemed to have the same opinion… Could you possibly know the reason?”
“Ah, that… you might think it’s like superstition…” She
reacted badly in an atmosphere that was going well, so why did she do it, but after hearing what came out of her mouth, I understood.
It is not that there is any magic tool, but it is simply a sense that most of those who have served on the battlefield for a long time get. It’s like coming and feeling alive. Not all of them could feel it, but Lanze explained that most of those who were mobilized for the operation to recapture Levien were elite in their own way, so most of them had awakened their senses.
“It’s not a perfect fit, but there was no problem on the battlefield, so it was a level of hesitation. But I didn’t expect it to become a problem when it came to the capital…” I didn’t expect it
. How can you predict that someone with real magic will end up on the human radar? I’d probably be terribly unfair if I got caught up in this.
“Indeed, intuition is also important on the battlefield.”
“Yes, that’s true. In fact, because of this sense, I caught a lot of spies or demons who secretly tried to do behind the scenes. They also had more successes than failures, so… I think they were a bit conceited.”
I’m not the only one…
“After hearing what you said, I’m curious about it. I haven’t heard of such a story even when fighting Enbelde and the knights under her command, who are said to have returned from the frontlines. Are there any conditions for acquiring such an ability? ”
“It’s not… not likely. If that was the case, every single soldier on the battlefield would have tumbled to meet the conditions to get this sense. Maybe they just… lost their sense because they’ve been away from the battlefield too long. ”
You can learn so much in a short conversation.
Seeing that it refers to the ‘this’ sense, it would be correct to assume that this woman has the ability to detect magical powers like the people she encountered yesterday… She loses her senses when she is away from the battlefield for a long time.
Generally speaking, being away from work for a long time can be said to be the same as losing one’s senses, but from my point of view, as I suspected that something strange was happening on the battlefield, it was a statement I couldn’t take lightly.
“I think I understand why Ranze and other soldiers participated in the operation to recapture Levien.
“…You said that I would like to ask you well…?”
“Of course, I’m talking about the operation to recapture Levien. The Marquis of Levien suggested that we join the expedition. There was no reason to refuse, so we decided to do it.”
Seeing her expression change every moment, it seems like this is the first time I’ve heard of it. Well, actually, it didn’t matter that much. Anyway, the purpose was to throw candy coating, saying that good is good because it is a comrade who will stand on the battlefield together.
And the attempt was quite successful.
◈
“Thank you for taking the time. Next time, I will greet you formally.”
Eldmia, who came out to meet her at the door, bowed politely and responded to Lanje’s greeting, who finished the story and put down her burden.
“It’s going to be an away day. I’m looking forward to it.”
It ended much neater than expected.
Looking at Eldmia disappearing beyond the closing door, Ranze thought so sincerely.
If this incident had occurred without them participating in the operation, it would never have ended in such a neat form. That was the decision she made after having already suffered all the thirst yesterday and had been forcibly given an infusion education about the character of Eldmia Ega.
He is a person who kicked into an aristocratic mansion located in the middle of the capital city with his dirt foot and slaughtered it just for the reason that there was an assassination attempt. Nevertheless, it was clear that he had formidable political skills, seeing as he came out intact after light isolation, no different from admonishment.
It wouldn’t have been a chore to misinterpret the meaning and catch the pod if I wanted to. Even so, being generous like this must mean that you are serious about the operation to recapture Levien. He was a man who knew very well that he had no troops to fight with, no reason to pretend, and no reason to undermine his morale.
He’s strong, knows how to use his brain, and wears clothes. On the surface, it was just a wandering knight, but it was supposed to be a great force for this expedition.
“… Write it, it’s real.”
The problem is that it feels really strangely demonic.
In a part of my heart, I suspected that the subordinates had gone wrong as a group, but it wasn’t at all. Eldmia had a mysterious demonic feeling. The kind of demon that can only be felt from a high-level demon.
But Ranze, who had already made up his mind, decided not to give a fuck about that.
“Fuck, it’s as strong as a high-level demon. What’s good is good.”
I need to go back and buy my subordinates a drink or two.
Thinking so, Ranze hurriedly moved on.
It is the last episode registered.
Time continues to flow and the day of the expedition has arrived.
“You’re surprisingly calm.”
After completing all preparations and completing the final inspection, I looked back at myself diligently, but I still do not feel anything. Both tension and excitement.
Well, there are a few incidents that have been reported so far, but if you get nervous here, that would be funny in its own right. But unlike me, Asilie always responded that she was worried.
“Don’t act really weird. You have to come back nicely, okay?”
But somehow the direction of worry was a little subtle.
“No sister? Strange behavior? If others hear it, they will misunderstand…” ”
Isn’t it okay to suddenly jump into the middle of the enemy line, sneak over the wall to attack the commander first, or attack alone at night because surprise attacks are the best?”
“……”
“No?”
I can’t bear to answer that I know…!
There was almost a commotion as I left the house behind her, who was persistently trying to get an answer, but fortunately Thieh skillfully blocked it, so I was able to come out on time. At the end, it was close to giving up and letting go.
“Then let’s go, Leica.”
[Okay!]
Watching Laika run away excitedly, I adjusted my clothes and headed for the southern gate with him.
There must have been a launching ceremony near the royal castle in full swing by now, but it was just an event that had nothing to do with me. It was because I had agreed to join the Marshal of Levien in order to personally help him, not as an official expeditionary force, but as a wandering knight passing by.
Thanks to this, I had to pay for all travel expenses, so I was walking on my own two legs because it was too much of a hassle to bring in food for the horses, but it didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable, perhaps because the time I spent walking around with the elves in the west helped.
[But the owner has a lot of money. Why do you save it so much?]
Laika’s question, which was able to display a plausible vocabulary due to having been strengthened before the trip, was reasonable. There are some things like the reward money I received at the ceremony and money I took from the West, but I got all the things that would cost a lot of money for free, so I have a lot of money piled up in my house.
Even though I asked Mr. Valkun to buy three blue potions, he didn’t even send me a message, so when people in the same situation as me see him, he’s wealthy enough to wonder what he’s doing.
“Usually, I use it when there is a corner to get money while moving or when I have to move quickly, but if it’s not like that, I’ll save it.”
But having a lot of money and spending it generously are two different things. It wasn’t a fixed income, most of it was a lot of money that happened to come into my hands. It’s perfect to lose your sense of money and struggle with money the moment you feel sorry for it, so it’s better to save it as much as possible. Do you think the ending of people who hit the lottery will often be bad?
While waiting for the army to leave for an expedition at the edge of the South Gate, where they arrived after a long walk, they were talking about various things while answering Laika’s curiosity.
Children running around in excitement at the splendid army without knowing anything Adults who got drunk from the morning and cheered for the demons to show them off, Someone who sadly saw them off as they headed to the battlefield again. Wind-catchers or minstrels who shout hope, pretending that they are the heroes of the century who will achieve unprecedented achievements and bring glory to the kingdom.
In the midst of seeing off all of them, the army was moving. It was a look that could only be expressed in words as splendid and magnificent, but this was also calm.
They are the ones who are moving to drive a wedge of counterattack that they couldn’t even properly attempt in the war that lasted for as little as seven years. For Ragnis, the revival of the family is at stake in this expedition, and the royal family also needs a big win to win public sentiment.
Unlike the crowds who felt nothing but hope, they felt nothing but burden.
“Then shall we move again?”
[Aren’t we going together?]
“That’s right, but not within the capital. We’ll join them after we’re a little further away before the army speeds up in earnest.”
Fortunately, the march of the army was extremely slow, so there seemed to be no setbacks to the plan to join at the scheduled location, and in fact, as soon as I got reasonably far from the capital, I naturally followed Lord Renissa, who had spotted me from afar and approached me, and headed towards the place where Ragnis was.
“The hero who ran away from the ceremony by himself has arrived… What, what about the words?”
Rather than riding a carriage, Ragnis, who chose to wear armor and ride a warhorse, could not easily be distinguished from the knights escorting him.
At first, she thought she might be vulnerable to a surprise attack, but because of the spear and shield hung from her horse’s saddle, she seemed more like a knight than the knights escorting her, and seemed safe.
But how am I supposed to say this? I glanced at it, but the knights were acting as if I wasn’t there…
Fortunately, Ragnis understood my gaze and gave an answer right away.
“These are family members. They already know enough to know, so it’s okay to talk comfortably as long as you don’t speak too loudly.”
“It’s fortunate. I just left it here to save money. I’m used to walking anyway.”
Ragnis’ eyes narrowed at my appropriate reply. It seems like Cheryl and Ashley have become more frequent these days.
“…If you have a horse, you didn’t leave it there because you wanted to be recruited as a cavalryman?”
“Oh? I hadn’t even thought of that.”
No matter how much it was, I wondered if there would be something to organize a wandering knight who joined the cavalry as a personal friend, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a possibility at all. Ragnis let out a deep sigh as his eyes relaxed in my sincere admiration.
“Would you like a warhorse?”
“A wandering knight will just be a wandering knight, Count. Rather than that, tell me the plan or a rough outline.”
Since this expedition was strictly a military plan, there was nothing he had heard from Ragnis in advance.
The only information I know is that the Margrave of Levien was a fortress city located on a relatively high ground, and that it was further reinforced after the Demon King’s Army occupied it. Of course, it is a world where auras and magic prevail, so that alone does not make it an impregnable base, but the fact that the demon army there has an advantage over us attacking us is the same as in the previous life.
Ragnis opened his mouth with an ambiguous expression at the question I asked to keep it at least a little bit since it was unlikely that I would charge Ura with the soldiers, but at least it shouldn’t get in the way.
“According to the information gathered from the royal family, it is said that it will be difficult to recapture it with the method used by the Demon King’s army. They said that they have been constantly sabotaging, but they have already completed reinforcements. The specifics will be confirmed when they arrive there, but the commander said that there is no additional information. They said they’d be fighting the traditional way if they weren’t there.”
For reference, the ‘traditional’ siege that Ragnis is talking about here is a little different from the previous life.
The most common method is to smash a door with a battering ram, but it is not ordinary soldiers who lead it, but Aura users. I once watched the knights of the Ogathorpe family demonstrate it to their servants, and when dozens of them clung to each other and ran, they exuded the majesty of a dump truck.
In addition, it is possible to finish a siege with minimal damage if the manpower pool is clear, such as trying to start by sweeping the castle wall with magic or repeating the process of intervening in each other’s spells to prevent it. However, since the opponent was a demon, it was clear that it would not end easily.
“In the end, you have to go and think about it.”
If you read something like a novel, it’s common to find a loophole in the castle wall and blow it up.
“We decided to hold an informal meeting at the command post when we camp later, so something more might come out then.
“I guess so. Oh, what’s the commander’s name?”
“It was a person named Alt Kyentze. He’s not a noble, but he seems to be famous on the battlefield. Master said he’d heard of it too.”
“Aha, a war hero. Come to think of it, I can’t see Sir Radnellvandes. Are you talking to that commander?”
“That’s right. If we go into a full-scale siege, one of the wizards will feel sorry for us. We asked for help. Wouldn’t we be thinking of a plan while moving together?”
Even if Lord Radnell Vandes, who is called the Grand Battle Mage, participates in the battle, is it not possible to engage in a siege with confidence and ignorance? I’ve never seen that old man fight in person, but he must be strong.
“War is difficult.”
“…I didn’t know you would say that. I heard you were called a war god by the orcs.”
Where else did you hear that? The gaze of the escort knights, who were silently looking elsewhere, slightly focused on me, and then scattered again.
“It’s not because I’m good at it, it’s because the orcs are ignorant. What I’m good at is just fighting.”
I wasn’t even sure about that anymore, but I didn’t bother to put it in my mouth.
At least this time, the enemy was also using magic, so the only consolation was that he would be able to tell the difference between strength and weakness.
This is the last episode that was registered.
Contrary to Eldmia’s opinion that they joined Ragnis without difficulty, the unit was noisy without knowing it.
Of course it had to be. A vassal of the Marquis suddenly rushed in and took a person whom he thought was just a passer-by during the march. How could he be quiet? What appeared to be no fuss was just the controlled chaos of the skilled soldiers.
“Go to Eldmia? Who is that?”
It was thanks to the people on the Marquis side, who were mixed among the soldiers, that the doubt was able to be resolved. However, it was an unfamiliar name to those who had just come up from the battlefield, and it was only after they had walked for a long time that the identity of the unknown visitor began to spread.
“Damn it, I’m tired of writing novels.”
It was a problem that the cynical reaction spread along with it, but it spread anyway.
“Even if all of those achievements are real, what? With that size, you’re 16 this year? Besides, you’ll become a wandering knight in the name of the Empire and the Kingdom? They say that even a very brave man can win.”
“Fuck, why are you fucking with me?”
“Even if you pick up rumors, there’s no way you won’t be cursed at because you pick up shit.”
The march of the soldiers was very fast, but that did not mean they were not tired. Grouped into platoons, settled down, lit a bonfire, and enjoyed a short break while eating, they tried to relieve their stress by giggling as they craved their elated comrades after hearing bad stories.
However, even the soldier, who usually heard rumors and rants, was full of confidence today.
“No, it’s real? I came here after hearing what the knights were talking about.”
“Knight?”
“Yeah fuck. Last night, in the middle of the night, you gave a damn about the lingerie battalion commander. Don’t you remember?”
In the Eunsuri Independent Combat Brigade, there was no soldier who did not know the story of a crazy squirrel of the ‘claw’ battalion stepping on poop while sleeping.
I secretly watched as soon as I heard the story that a crazy squirrel, so reckless that there are rumors that it would cross-legged even in front of the brigade commander if it was wrong, started craving some soldiers, including the company commander under my command, while bathing at the parade ground at night. Because there were people who went to do it.
In fact, in the military, galgum is like a regular menu that doesn’t fall out anywhere, and it was just a trivial daily thing for her to fuck her, but it was a rare event that the reason was because she touched a human who shouldn’t be touched.
It was clear that if we were to vote on who did the most shit in the unit, Lange, the crazy squirrel, would play in the rankings.
“…then it’s real?”
why could that be real? While everyone was silent about the unexpected information, the main character of the topic followed the Marquis to the command post. Next to him was Battalion Commander Lange, who seemed to have been further cut in half due to the relative evaluation, and the soldiers watched them disappear into the command post with a trembling expression, then looked at each other again.
“Crazy. What the hell did the Marquis bring…?”
Unlike disgust, a strange smile spread across their lips. If the rumors were true, it was no different from the addition of a terrifying power, so all I could do was laugh.
“Ah, no matter how true it is. I can’t believe all of those rumors are true. What’s wrong with a guy like that, so he writes a wandering article?”
“Baby, I was scared of this.”
“If not half of the rumors are true, it’s normal to peck at them.”
Intrigued by the fact that there was an interesting story for the first time in a while, and the fact that talented people who could be quite useful forces were participating in the war, the soldiers heated up talking about Eldmia until the day they arrived on the battlefield. There were some who saw it as a disorganization, but most tolerated the atmosphere because it was better than being stuck in a tense state.
It actually worked better than I thought. The upstart soldiers gathered under the name of the Marquis were not at all nervous, swayed by the atmosphere of unconcerned veterans.
That is, until he faced the rain of magic and arrows pouring down from the massive walls of a city located on a hill.
◈
The fireballs and arrows pouring down from the clear sky were strangely unrealistic.
Of course, the same was true of the huge boulders from the catapult flying towards the walls. The new soldier, who was staring blankly at this, must soon feel the irrationality.
The boulders and fireballs exploded and shattered before they even reached their target, but the arrows that pierced the wreckage literally rained down.
“You bastards! Raise your shield!!”
The soldiers, startled by the roaring shouts, lifted their shields, and arrows pierced them.
“Oh, god, god …”
“This is a cub! If you do that, I won’t be able to block my head!
It’s time to find God!” Ranze, a crazy squirrel, walked among the soldiers as if taking a walk with an iron club the size of his body slung over his shoulder, shouting, but the soldiers who were experiencing a battle with the demons for the first time did not hear even that. I heard that the wizards were definitely fighting magic battles, but the flying fireballs did not stop, and each time the fireballs hit the magic barrier and exploded, the morale and courage of the soldiers exploded
. A soldier who had been holding on with a shield with both hands to block the rain of arrows fell back in fright when he was nearly stabbed in the eye by an arrowhead protruding through the shield
. If he hadn’t caught it, there would have been a hole in the square. The senior officers looked at the soldier, who was worried about being cursed at in an emergency situation, and smiled leisurely.
Wake up.”
“Hand over the shield! There’s a hole in the shield this way!”
The voice is booming, but no one’s taken aback. Seeing that, the newcomer involuntarily felt a sense of relief.
They’ve survived on a battlefield like this for years, so it seems like they’ll be able to live long enough if they act as they say…
“Keep down . !”
At Ranze’s cry, everyone bowed down without saying who came first. Some of the soldiers who couldn’t keep up with the thoroughly learned response were knocked down by all sorts of methods by the veterans around them
. An explosion occurred. Through spell interference, misfired magic exploded, sparks flew, and at the same time, the enemy’s offensive paused for a moment. Ranze, who did not miss the moment and hit the
floor with his giant bottle, shouted,
“You mutts . !! It’s time to fuck!!”
In response to the vulgar order, the army split and knights with battering rams that seemed like there would be no problem using them as pillars of a temple jumped out. “Run the cock
head
company !!” They sound like the same nickname!”
“It’s all because of the battalion commander!!”
Twenty knights rushing across the battlefield, carrying battering rams that don’t even have wheels, with only their strength, excavating the ground. It boasted the same majesty as an assault and was enough to make the demons guarding the wall in a hurry
. Magic Squad! It’s the bottom! Grind the floor!”
the demon commander standing on the wall and watching the scene shouted urgently, but spell interference came in without fail. Some wizards have already memorized spells with nosebleeds pouring in, but even the spells that hit the closest are rushing at the siege. As the knights laughed
and laughed as they passed the stalactite-like rocks that came out of the floor with a clattering sound, the demon commander who gritted his teeth shouted to the bottom of the castle wall, “Open the side door!” That ignorant-
looking
siege Chu tactics were originally the exclusive patent of the Demon King’s Army, so the Demon Commander chose the surest next best option without hesitation, and as soon as his order was given, the door on one side of the castle gate that had been renovated after the Demon Army occupied it opened and soldiers with huge shields rushed out. They went out.
They didn’t have weapons. They just ran out with only one huge tower shield on their hands. I
tried this choice because I knew better than anyone else that if I stopped that ignorant charge with acceleration without fighting the knights, the battering ram would be useless for a while. ” They
‘ll take it…?”
But it wasn’t the response of the knights trying to defend the siege tower, but the flight that greeted the demon soldiers who jumped out with a resolution to die. “As expected, it doesn’t
work.”
“What about the damage?”
“None. The distance was also a distance, and there were a lot of skilled soldiers, so there was no damage from the arrows.”
Unlike the middle-aged man who was watching the scene from the command post and nodding while talking with the other commanders
. Eldmia, who was watching, slightly tilted her head towards the shocked Ragnis and asked,
“Is that the method the demons tried?”
“…That’s right. We didn’t have a side door like that, so the outer castle was pierced.”
At last, there was no side door.
Eldmia nodded her head slightly as she watched as astonishment turned into absurdity and astonishment turned into something resentful. Eldmia looked at the battlefield
. It was quite a shock that what was thought to be a different world siege warfare was actually a
new concept siege warfare propagated by the Demon King’s army, but other than that, there seemed to be no problem yet. It was my turn to recapture Levien with
“I’ll have to climb the wall.”
No one understood what he muttered, thinking that it was very fortunate that he was able to rehearse in advance in the west. This
is the last episode registered .
Alt Kentche, who is in charge of commanding the independent combat brigade, was one of the few people who rose from a low-level soldier to a commander. He
was a soldier before the war and was promoted at a not bad pace, and while standing on the frontline of the demons, the senior officer died and he survived and made meritorious deeds repeatedly. It was the achievement he made while doing it. He never felt particularly honorable because it was the path he chose to make a living in the first place, but he was proud of having lived hard. Perhaps
because of that past, he had a fairly open mind. Among the soldiers, he was called a crazy squirrel. The most representative example is tolerating behavior that is no different from a catastrophe. Ignoring
orders would have been a problem… Being a competent commander who fulfills orders faithfully, does his job perfectly, and survives for a long time is as valuable as an artifact. Because it was a resource, he tolerated rudeness with the feeling that it was a kind of bonus. It didn’t actually cost money, so he thought it was a surplus business. But this time, the case was a little different. ‘Am I… am I old
?
‘ Although he was now looking at forty
, he never thought he was old, because in fact, some of his men were older than he was.
And because the thought that it was crazy came up at the same time, I just felt anxious that I might be looking at the battlefield from a too fixed point of view. On the battlefield, those who lack imagination die first. And if that’s the commander, the one who dies is the subordinate
. However, if he was in such a situation right now, it would be safe to say that he needed to reexamine his commanding ability. From his point of view, Alt, who rolled his eyes slightly in a situation where he could not help but feel anxious, reacted greatly with himself. I almost breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that it wasn’t different.
Fortunately, it seemed that the wandering knight had said something crazy. I don’t know.
” That sounds crazy. Did the Marquis really take this opinion seriously?”
This time it was really fortunate. While I was drooling because I didn’t know what to say at all, a slightly impatient subordinate stepped in first.
However, it was an inappropriate remark. Alt frowned. One of the Margrave of Levien and the wandering knight whose eyes were wide open before opening his mouth first, before opening his mouth, lightly tapping the table,
“Raynal, that’s rude.
” After that, she was a woman who had to become a hero desired by the royal family. No matter how special the Eunsu-ri Independent Combat Team is in a special position, it is not an existence that the regimental commander, a lower aristocrat, can dare to ignore. Above all, a wandering knight is attached to the side of the
operation
. According to the report received from the royal family prior to his arrival, as soon as the traitor Envelde attempted to assassinate the traitor Envelde, who responded quite sensitively to the honor of the Marquis of Levien, he reversed the attack and destroyed the mansion. -Act
as if you are not an ally, but a dragon with no hostility. It is generally harmless if you do not give a justification.
Even if you say the warning that even uses the expression ‘dragon’, what does it mean that it is generally harmless if you do not give a justification? Though he reflected on the number, Alt withdrew his hand, recalling the warning that was not easy to catch because it was a life far from playing
politics
.
Contrary to what he said, he knew that Reynal was biting his molars, but it seemed like this was enough for the moment. Looking back, the Marquis and the Wandering Knight’s expressions were much better
. I think our opinion will not be too different from Reynal’s.”
Ranjeman, the only battalion commander among the regimental commanders, said, ‘Isn’t that me?’ He retorted with an expression of ”, but no one cared. At Alt’s reply, Marshal Levien, who had been looking at the map spread out on the table for a while, asked without taking his eyes off it. “What is the reason
?
” It’s not like
you don’t know that a novel tactic can be a stepping stone to a turnaround, but ‘something nobody thought of’ and ‘something nobody felt worth trying’ are different. But this is ‘something nobody thought of but It was a plan that made you feel it was not even worth trying as soon as you heard it.’ To
climb the wall and run up. That alone
? After going through so many battles
, he was chewing on uncertain memories,
and
this time the wandering knight opened his mouth
. The presence of a man who felt like a demon made them uncomfortable, and as a result, the regiment commanders had no hesitation in revealing their aura. It was an
action no different from an armed demonstration to draw a sword immediately if they showed suspicious behavior, and even faced quite a few knights. When I saw him, I was at the level of asking if he was quarreling or dying, but the man was just plain bored, as if he didn’t feel anything. Rather, he made eye contact with Raynal, who hadn’t looked very good from before, and even frowned as if he was looking at something. .I
don’t know anything else, but I can say with certainty that it’s not an action that can be easily taken with four people who pride themselves on being at the end of the aura expert. ” You mean you actually used this method
to incapacitate the wall?
”
Everyone tilted their heads. Wasn’t the expression a little strange just now? Dealing with the Count ‘Lyeong
‘
?
“It was a duel.”
“…That, with the Earl McKellen?”
“The purpose was him, but for various reasons, I challenged the entire county to a duel. Of course, you had to attack from outside the walls, and the method I mentioned is the method I used myself at that time.”
Are you kidding me?
“Are you kidding me? Or are you kidding us?”
Alt, who thought that his innermost feelings had come out of his mouth involuntarily, saw Raynall move, his face reddened, only to realize that what he had just said was his, but this time it was hard to point out his rudeness. The shock was so shocking that
even the other regimental commanders regarded the wandering knight’s remarks as an insult, just like Raynal. Naturally, everyone (Ranze was excluded here again) had a bad expression, but the wandering knight was still confident.
“It’s not leisurely enough to joke or throw on the battlefield. What’s the problem? I’m not asking you to do it, and I’m not asking you to do it to the soldiers. I’m doing it, and you’re doing it after that, isn’t it a matter of completing the scheduled tactics?”
“Ha, ha! Am I making fun of the battlefield? Why take such a risk when one idiot could turn the tide of battle with a slashed morale?”
It was unexpectedly common on the sad front that it could not be called a leap forward. Of course, in most cases, morale hit bottom because the strong person they depended on and believed died in vain, rather than the problem caused by a real idiot running amok.
In fact, Raynall was more sensitive than anyone else because a battalion under his command was almost destroyed in a similar incident. It was the same for others sharing the experience of a hole in the formation and almost turning the tide of battle. They sympathized with Reynal in silence, and the air in the command post grew heavier.
But the wandering knight still didn’t care. Rather, it made me laugh.
“Well, I don’t know if you take the battlefield lightly, but I think you know as well as you do the effects of sacrificing morale. If you’re a madman you’ve never heard of, out of nowhere, you’ll duel the city, climb over the castle walls, and join the ranks of knights.” Do you think the morale would have been fine after cutting off the throat and chopping up all the soldiers within reach?”
It was a sarcasm that seemed to say, “I could have inferred that much, of course.” At this, Raynal’s forehead formed veins and his hand went up to point.
“With that lie…”
