Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 224
EP.224 Operation time is at a disadvantage.
At the temporary base of the military prepared on the meta conveyor belt, the operation meeting was in full swing.
An orderly mess raged in front of the square table. The generals tried numerous countermeasures with one table, but no sharp way to break the situation came up.
There are many things mentioned, but the common theme in their remarks was anxiety.
“While this side has lost power, the other side is healthy. Moreover, as long as it is revealed that the other side can interfere with the meta conveyor belt, the pursuit on the belt is meaningless.”
It was a disaster. Since the birth of the military, has there been any other experience of being defeated so horribly?
There were many excuses to make. The opponent was a legendary being called Tirkanjakara, the founder, and the king of beasts, who should not have sided with a specific individual, blatantly sided with the other side.
And above all. The strength of the opponent’s skill, especially the boy swordsman who uses the invisible sword, far exceeded expectations.
Patraxion exclaimed in rage.
“That kid! When fighting me, you hid your power! am i happy? I will never, ever forgive you!”
“…Captain. How can you not forgive? I repeat, but you must not act alone.”
When Colonel Gand, his disciple asked cautiously, Patraxion clasped his hand holding the spearhead tightly and responded violently.
“How! The next time we meet, we’ll smash it with all our might. I hate guys who don’t use everything they have to duel!”
“This is not a duel! It’s an operation!”
“All disputes are a series or set of duels! In any case, next time I will definitely bring out the kid’s full strength!”
“Don’t drag it out, and defeat it with all your might! Isn’t that how we can recapture the director of Historia!”
When Colonel Gand mentioned Historia, an uncomfortable silence lingered in the conference room.
Historia was more active than anyone else in this operation. She was the one who ran ahead with the musketeers and held on to the opponent all day long. Even in the midst of disadvantage, he stood against them single-handedly to protect the musketeers.
No matter how much personal feelings she had for this mission, Historia fought with her life to the best of her ability. The generals felt not only admiration towards Historia, but also a slight sense of debt.
Patraxion asked seriously.
“Chief Historia? Did you just say Director Historia?”
“Yes, but. Any problem?”
While everyone was staring at Patraxion’s mouth, he answered lightly.
“Hey, didn’t you say that when you saw Historia, you were arrogant and said that you shoot a gun because you’re young? At that time, after being squeezed in Dalian, they always use honorific titles?”
“It’s about being polite! Keep an eye on the captain too! Isn’t it only the captain here!”
“I am the highest ranking person here. Now I don’t even have a majangmae…”
“Isn’t it time to be carefree without me!”
The door burst open, and the magi, who had come in after reconnaissance and belt repair, came inside, tightening his collar. Patraxion, who had been in a carefree attitude, grumbled and straightened his posture.
“Look at the tiger, too, if you tell me. I am no longer a big fan.”
“Shouldn’t you be thinking about getting the warden quickly instead of talking nonsense! I don’t know what kind of hardships the warden is going through now being captured by the enemy!”
Frelbjor, one of the few beings who can spit out admonitions without hesitation toward the splendor of everything.
During the kingdom, wizards with mysterious abilities were few and far between, and of course, only the nobles were the exclusive property. The nobles would have better and more powerful wizards as guests, and would use them to do things that needed to be ‘mystical’. A magician with unique magic supported his power in an unimaginable way according to his will.
In the meantime, Prelbjor, who did all kinds of dirty and difficult chores from construction to war, received great support from soldiers and citizens. Actually, she refused the honor, saying it was to cover her magic expenses.
In the kingdom, he stuck out his tongue and called her a worker of the kingdom, half mockingly at her doing chores despite being a wizard.
He was relatively quiet in front of her, a single-minded singer.
“So, go practice flying! If I get caught up in your wind by mistake, I won’t be able to fly unless I’m a great general who can’t even get my bones out of it! How long are you going to fly like a kite?”
“noisy!”
comparatively anyway.
Prelbjor strode in, stood in front of a table with a military map on it, threw a rolled magic weed over it and said,
“I have been told the solution to him, the king of beasts.”
“What?”
“I do not deal with possible opponents. If this side doesn’t attack first, even the king of beasts won’t show any will to attack. However, if the king of cats is hostile again, he told me to smoke this calming magic herb.”
What Majang put on the table was a cigar with a refreshing scent. Patraxion sniffed the magic herb and frowned.
“Who gave you this?”
The magician answered.
“It’s Disease Maximilien.”
“Does he make medicines as well as weapons? Well, all alchemists have a shady side. So, when is the secret weapon coming?”
“Gwabyeong is in the process of manufacturing a weapon to counter it, and decided to join as soon as it is over.”
“You haven’t made it yet? By that time, he would have already fled to the principality. I also need to fix the window, but I don’t have it when I need it all the time.”
“What a cheeky thing! Don’t be alarmed when adults are talking, and if you have nothing to say, just listen!”
The intimidating demon looked around and shouted.
“Listen. operation was enacted. The next battle location is the Far East stopover! Perhaps they will go up to the principality along the coastal road from the stopover in the Far East. We will fight there and stop them from heading to the coastal road!”
The Far East Stopover is the largest stopover in the military, and at the same time, it is also a space with various control facilities for repair and maintenance of the meta conveyor belt. The path where the meta conveyor belt flows the slowest in the military was chosen as the next battleground.
While everyone was nodding at the reasonable strategy, the staff member carefully asked.
“But aren’t we behind them? How do you get ahead?”
“You just raised your voice! Raise your hand when asking a question!”
“I will correct it.”
The staff member raised her hand and asked again. Only then did Prelbjor turn to the one who raised his hand and spoke loudly.
“okay! If you reveal who you are, shouldn’t you look at that side and answer! to remember. To reveal your identity! This is the basis for reporting!”
“I will remind you.”
“Corrections are quick. That’s a good attitude!”
Frelbjor nodded in satisfaction and explained again.
“At the Far East stopover, the multi-purpose armored unit Bernardern is on standby. They will play a delay game.”
What came out of Prelbjor’s mouth was the name of the most elite corps of the military. The staff member was surprised and replied.
“Bernartern? Aren’t they a 5th level elite unit under direct command only preparing for war? For something like this, when they’re not even in a war between nations…?”
“The founder, Tirkanjaka, is a one-man army. It’s an enemy that needs to be enough. Also, given her ability to summon the darkness and use it as an army, it would be much better to run into a legion on this side as well. We entrust Bernardern to fight the founder and we attack from behind.”
It was the so-called hammer and anvil. While Bernardern stopped them and the meta-conveyor belt moved sluggishly, generals including Majang and Jeolchang attacked and finished the operation…
It was a perfect plan. As with all plans, if everything goes according to plan.
Of course, the staff also pointed that out.
“What if the other side avoids fighting in the Far East?”
“If they come down on the belt, we have an advantage. The power of the Legion can be more fully displayed on the plains. It’s enough to start a maneuver and finish it off.”
“That is true, but they are individuals with legion-level power. If we hide somewhere and wage guerrilla warfare, we will be in trouble.”
“All personnel are mobilized and monitored, starting with the signalman. You won’t be able to get out of this country, but you won’t be able to hide somewhere.”
“Umm….”
After thinking for a moment, the staff member looked around and suggested the last possibility with the feeling of carrying a gun.
“What if…they take the director of Historia hostage…?”
Even Frelbjor, who normally displayed a steely demeanor, hardened his face even more.
Lancart the Enchantress and Historia the Musketeer. Of the two talents believed to lead the future of the military, only Historia remained intact.
Historia didn’t have a charming personality, but it was Frelbjor who had a certain affection for her moderately flexible attitude while respecting everyone. Although the field was different, in my heart I was more proud of Historia than Lancart.
I want to save it no matter what method I use.
“…there is no negotiation. Aim for recapture, but give up when necessary.”
There is no negotiation with the military. If you bow once, you will bow twice, and furthermore, it is a domino that causes the nation to collapse.
Don’t endanger the country for the sake of the individual. The identity and premise of a country called a military state.
By the time the generals nodded miserably, Jeolchang was smiling alone. I tried to grit my teeth and ignore him, but it was so intrusive that the majang pointed it out.
“Captain Patraxion. If you have something to say, do it without splitting it up!”
“haha. People here don’t know.”
Patraxion, who had a mischievous smile, replied with a playful face.
“The daughter of the military, that poor bastard. I got caught on purpose.”
“…What did you say Patraxion?”
“I mean Historia. He deliberately rushed at the timing when he had to run away because the situation was at a disadvantage. You infiltrated.”
Everyone was stunned by the unexpected remark. Among them, Patraxion nodded to himself and said.
“I pretended to fight pretty hard, but I couldn’t fool my eyes. I should have rolled off the belt, but I pretended to be weak after competing against the cat king.”
“Why such a risky move?”
“well? Is it dangerous? Aside from razing a few of their bases and raiding the capital headquarters and causing a riot, didn’t they do anything?”
“Isn’t that dangerous enough! Cut off Jiseon’s arm and burned five supply bases! For no reason!”
“There won’t be any reason. Anyway, it doesn’t seem to kill people randomly. It must have gone into hiding pretending to be caught.”
But getting caught on purpose is dangerous. It is especially fatal when the power of the individual exceeds that of the group. It is because the weight of the force is tilted due to the wind being taken prisoner.
It’s too much to call it a sudden action. The staff member said just in case.
“Is there any possibility that he might have converted at all…?”
At that moment, all the eyes of the generals turned to him.
