To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 326
Chapter 326 For the big picture (2)
“How could a centurion drive out Devon?”
It’s an expression of incomprehension.
It’s natural that that is the case.
Baekinjang is the position of commanding only a hundred soldiers.
There was no way he could drive out Devon’s army, which had reached 7,000 by thinking with common sense.
Chief Hana Vener just shook his head without saying anything.
At this point, the thousand chiefs of the royal capital began to suspect that he was lying.
It is impossible for a single centurion to defeat an army unless it is a legendary hero.
The Royal Capital’s Cheonjangjang, who had become uncomfortable with hearing, demanded with a frown on his face.
“Please explain in an understandable way, Director Cheon.”
They have enough courtesies, but from earlier on, they rushed to talk about the same tone.
Chief Vener always disapproved of such an attitude of the commander.
However, it was impossible to stop it separately.
Unlike himself, the royal capital’s dignitaries stood behind him.
‘I don’t need to touch you.’
He wanted to keep his position as chief of staff for a long time.
In order to do that, it is better not to listen to others.
There was one thing that even Vener didn’t know.
It means that behind the back of the centurion, who went up and down their mouths, was King Celia himself, not an aristocrat.
* * *
The news of Devon’s crushing defeat in the Northern Crian Castle’s siege battle spread throughout the continent.
The King of Devon slammed the arm of his chair at the disgraceful report.
Quaang—!
“What kind of ugliness is this! It’s not enough to struggle with that small castle and lose!”
He couldn’t hold back his anger and destroyed everything he saw around him.
The Devon king’s wrath was great.
The troops on the battlefield were almost twice as different from Celia.
In addition, Crian Castle was not the elite army of the Kingdom of Silia, but a ragged group of soldiers and mercenary adventurers from the periphery.
To lose so badly to them?
Of course, he was predicting victory, and the news of the defeat, which he had never even thought about, burned his stomach.
The King of Devon, who had been smashing things around him for a long time, took a deep breath and sat down.
“… I’ll give you ten thousand. This time, be sure to bring the Krian in front of me.”
His voice was small enough to mumble, but his voice penetrated every corner of the hall.
The nervous nobles immediately got down on one knee.
“If you have an army of 10,000, you will be able to glar at the northern Crian as well as the king in front of it!”
“The Kingdom of Celia is already in Your Majesty’s hands!”
Of course it’s mouth-watering.
Although 10,000 people are said to be a great army, it is not possible to occupy a kingdom’s capital with just that number.
The King of Devon knows that fact, and the nobles know it too.
However, the Devon king, who likes to hear flattery, felt much better with just that.
“As soon as the day dawns, send out immediately! Take Crian and head for the center!”
“I obey Your Majesty’s orders!”
Devon was preparing for battle again.
* * *
Northern Crian Castle has received reinforcements from the royal capital and has soldiers up to 7,000.
Since Devon’s return, they had been given quite a bit of time to repair, so they were already in perfect condition.
A soldier who was guarding his surroundings at the high gate rubbed his eyes at a glimpse of dust in the distance.
“Is the wind blowing?”
I strained my eyes and looked again, and instead of dust, I saw a large number of troops riding horses armed with weapons.
It is a huge number that cannot even be guessed at.
The soldier hurriedly took out a whistle from his chest and blew it.
A sharp whistle rang in the ears, and the soldiers in the barracks jumped out.
“what’s the matter!”
“Those enemies are coming! a lot! Too many!”
After calming down the stuttering soldier, the december asked.
“Speak calmly. How many are there?”
“It’s twice as many as last time!”
“You mean more than 10,000 people!”
The ten seal’s face turned to contemplation.
No matter how much it is advantageous to defend in war, it is not very meaningful in front of an army of 10,000.
In addition, Crian Castle in the north is infinitely smaller than other castles.
If the castle gates are broken, you will have no choice but to be helpless.
The ten seals thought deeply and issued an order.
“Prepare for battle! Equip your weapons and wait in front of the barracks!”
Seeing the enemies rushing in, the Thousand Heads received were also in a frenzy.
Urgently convened, each of them spoke loudly.
“You must prepare now! If we continue like this, the castle will fall!”
“What are you going to do to get ready? They’re a force that’s over ten thousand! Even if you fight across the wall, it’s just meaningless!”
“Then are you saying you want to run away!”
The enemies arrived right in front of us, but when opinions diverged, the conference hall was ruined.
Chief Vener suffered a headache.
‘I’m at a loss as to what to do. If we fight back, we are afraid of the responsibility of losing the battle, and if we run away, we will not stand face in the capital.’
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally came up with a good idea.
The centurion who defeated the kingdom of Devon the other day.
Calling him back to fight.
If you do, you will be able to shift the blame to him, and even if you win in the unlikely event, you will take the credit for yourself.
Isn’t this a good way to eat pheasants and eat eggs?
After organizing his thoughts, Bener’s commander put on a serious face and knocked on the round table.
Tak— Tak—
When the noisy hall was ventilated by that small sound, the chief of staff spoke up.
“Do you all remember the story of the centurion I told you last time? The other day, thanks to him, I was able to defeat the Devon Kingdom. A master who overcame adversity from ancient times is said to be victorious even on difficult battlefields. I want to trust him again this time, but what do you guys think?”
At those words, the reaction of the thousand chiefs was divided into two again.
One frowns and the other frowns.
“good idea! If he is truly a master, there will be no reason he cannot beat an opponent he has beaten once.”
“I also agree with Director Cheon’s opinion.”
As long as they had someone else to take responsibility for, the battle didn’t matter.
It’s not like they’re being blamed.
But other conscientious millenarians did not agree with that opinion.
They secretly rebuked Bener.
“Ray’s centurion’s ability was already proven that day. But even so, telling us to defeat more than 10,000 troops is no different than ordering them to die on the battlefield.”
“I am against it! You can’t encourage the centurion who made the ball, but you drive it to the limb! You are saying no!”
The two thousand commanders laid bare their throats, but Vener, who had already made up his mind, did not pretend to listen.
Regardless of what they object to, all decision-making power rests with him, the Cheonbujang.
Vener, ignoring all objections, rose from his seat.
“I will give 2,000 soldiers to the centurion Ray. Instruct them to stop them again with it.”
It is an almost forced command.
Even if he asked to die on the battlefield, it wouldn’t be dirtier than this.
However, there were more people in favor than against.
In the end, 2,000 soldiers fell to Ray.
* * *
Rey, who received the order, burst out laughing.
“Ha, so watch me charge the large army of over 10,000 and oxidize it fiercely?”
I can’t help but tingle to the back bone.
At Ray’s words, the millennium chief closed his eyes tightly.
“…I’m sorry. I have nothing to say. Even if you run away from the battlefield, I will not stop you.”
Cheoninjang, whose face was wrinkled, lowered his head.
There was shame in his voice as he delivered orders from his superiors.
Seeing that, Ray didn’t have the heart to say anything more.
he sighed.
“I rescued him from drowning, but this time he’s telling me to give him a bundle.”
It’s too much to do.
There is a limit to pampering!
And besides, to repel 10,000 with only 2,000?
I wanted to ask what kind of madman’s head this opinion came from.
‘If the order was not rejected by the commander-in-chief, it must have been the order of the commander-in-chief.’
Currently, the highest authority in Crian Castle is definitely Vener.
None of this would have happened had it not been for his instructions.
Ray gnashed his teeth.
To drive a soldier alive and well to death!
If the commander was normal, he would never give an order like this.
Ray is a true hero of this era who forgets grace but never forgets grudge.
He promised that someday he would repay the trouble he had suffered.
Ray, looking over the wall at Devon’s 10,000 troops, said.
“You can’t fight with 2,000 people. Stop talking nonsense to the commander and tell him to give up the castle right now.”
To Ray, who was referring to Cheon-bu-jang, not to anyone else, the Cheon-sin-jang was cold inside.
“The order has already been given. You won’t hear any disagreements.”
“It’s frustrating. In this way, Mercury is meaningless. It looks like if the castle gate is broken right now, the castle will be eaten!”
The glottis is strong. Because it is surrounded by several layers of protective magic, it is not so easily broken.
However, the opponent was a 10,000-strong army.
No matter how strong the castle gate is, it is obvious that it will break during the war.
A fortress without gates is meaningless.
Helpless, only the soldiers would die.
Despite his continued insistence, Cheoninjang shook his head.
“It was decided through a meeting. I understand your feelings, but I have no idea what to do.”
“I’ll turn.”
At this rate, it was really only about taking 2,000 people and engaging in an all-out war with 10,000 people.
In Ray’s opinion, Devon and Celia were only fighting a war fueled by an unknown force.
As such, the true enemy was separate.
At this time, when they didn’t even know their strength, Ray had no desire to waste his soldiers.
It’s the same with Celia’s soldiers and Devon’s soldiers.
You can show your strength and defeat Devon, but if you do, you will inevitably suffer casualties whether you like it or not.
Couldn’t there be anything more stupid than letting go of a common enemy and being both sides?
Ray looked at the center of the castle.
I guess I need to have a sincere conversation with the Cheonbujang.
