chapter 37
– The guys started moving, looking in the direction they seem to be going back to the base.
– What are you going to do? Push it in like this?
– Give me instructions.
– In my mind, I want to get rid of them all.
“It’s not the time yet.”
The first operation failed, the second operation returned to success.
They had to suffer from the constant cold on the cold, damp ground, and I purposely sent one wounded beaten by them.
In the middle of the night, the ally returned with blood iron armor in a situation where the enemies might attack.
It was clear that the morale of the honor class would drop as soon as they saw the ally holding on to their pants and begging to be saved.
“You’re lucky though.”
If they had pushed forward recklessly, the damage to the front row group would have been great.
Although there were traps made in advance, they are one of the strongest in the Montegro Academy, where only geniuses gather.
What kind of extraordinary way he would break through… he didn’t know.
However, they did not enter the forest, and pulled the troops back and grasped the situation.
“I knew the commander’s tendencies for sure.”
If the commander in charge of the honor class had a violent temperament and was impatient, he would have pushed to our base at once.
In fact, I had a plan in place for such a case…but if the enemies pushed in, I was planning to put a part of the surprise squad into the enemy’s base.
However, the enemy’s commander was cautious.
Seeing that he was well aware of the dangers in the woods on a rainy day, it was clear that he was a bit of a rolling head.
“Dr. Rommel! Why are you not moving your troops now?”
Louis tilted his head and questioned Rommel.
When he heard the news that the second operation had been successful, Louis was overjoyed…but now he wondered why Rommel didn’t get the win.
Why don’t you move your troops now and finish it?
Louis desperately wanted an answer to the problem.
For any wizard, how to find an answer to a problem.
So Louis approached Rommel and asked for an answer.
“If even a mouse is driven into a corner, it bites the cat, Louie.”
“Are you thinking of the possibility of them making a deadly resistance?”
“Yeah, even if we put them in a corner right now, our enemies’ abilities are far beyond us. Moreover, the battlefield turns human emotions into instinct and paralyzes reason. That’s why the commander is always trying to keep troops out of control. You have to maintain the coolness of being able to control and lead. If we drive them over now, there will be a desperate fight.”
There is a saying that we camp for multiples.
It is a phrase that appears in the story of sagi, perineum, and is derived from the traditional battle of Han Shin, a general of the Han Dynasty.
Hanshin, who was confronted with the 200,000 troops of Jin-yeo, the prime minister of Cho, purposely camped with his back to the river in order to inspire his own soldiers.
The history of the victory over the Zhao Dynasty by fighting with all their might to die, feeling the fear and confusion with no place to escape.
The ones who have nothing to lose are the scariest, and now the honor class guys have nothing to lose.
If those who are superior to our troops in terms of skill set up multiple camps, we had to carry the risk of annihilation of our troops.
Besides, among the reasons why I sent the captured prisoners to them, there was a reason… to demand the awakening of the enemy commander.
Perhaps the enemy commander is prepared and shakes his head a lot.
If our enemies retreat and suddenly charge towards us… then the gates of hell will open to defeat.
“There’s no reason to choose the high-risk path, Louie.”
” …I don’t know for sure…I vaguely understood it. I must have acted too emotionally…”
Depressed, the figure of Louis with his body hanging down was so cute.
I patted little Louis on the back to comfort him.
“That..that..the..stop it..”
“It’s okay, Louie. Still, when it comes to Louie… you’re the kind of person who thinks rationally, right?”
“Oh, no, that’s not the problem.”
“Louis is a person who will become a great wizard in the future, so if you can improve on these aspects, you can become a great wizard.”
“Joe…a little closer…”
” ah. “
Because of the constant tapping on the back, Louis’ body just lost its balance, which resulted in the distance between them now getting closer.
Louis’ face was getting closer.
Maybe it was because the silvery eyes of Louis were so close… I also blushed in the strange atmosphere.
Outside, where the rain begins to fall, the cozy darkness.
And a little light trying to drive that darkness out a little bit.
A strange atmosphere was slowly forming, as if…
“…Prince Rommel…?”
Looking at it up close, Louis was also on the pretty side.
In fact, the share of cute… was overwhelmingly high to say pretty, but…
Bean Thing, Bean Thing.
Louis and I were looking at each other’s faces in a quiet and dark space that could hear each other’s heartbeats.
Maybe Louis could hear the sound of her heart beating like crazy, or maybe her face turned red because of the heat…
” ..sorry. “
” …. “
Because I couldn’t stand it any longer to keep staring at Louis’ face.
I hurriedly turned my head and fell away from Louis.
Suddenly, an awkward atmosphere engulfed the entire tunnel.
woo
Louis pulled the witch’s hat with both hands and pressed it deep to avoid my gaze, and I also began to focus my mind on the communication channel for a little bit.
– Give exact instructions.
– Tell me about your future plans.
– Captain Rommel, what are you going to do?
– Leader? Leader?
“Listen to the platoon commanders.”
After struggling to break the awkward atmosphere until recently, he summoned the platoon leaders and began to speak.
Tactics and strategies are a way to flexibly plan according to the enemy’s movements.
As the enemy commander gave up occupying the stronghold and returned to their stronghold, it was necessary to revise the plan a little.
“Leave the minimum number of people left and start resting from now on.”
– what?
– Is it okay to take a break?
– Conversely, what if the enemy counterattacks?
– I want to know the captain’s intentions.
“..So you’re telling me to leave a vigil, anyway, it’s a race against time from now on. Those guys probably won’t have the energy to move right now anyway. In the meantime, we have to stock up on stamina.
– Conversely, when enemies are resting, what enters?
– Yeah, isn’t it more efficient to take a base by surprise when everyone is sleeping?
– I’m sure the captain has an idea.
“Always think of the worst number. You have to assume that there is a wizard among the number of people left by the enemies at the base. If that wizard spreads magic specializing in base defense? What will you do then?”
Magic always boasts endless possibilities.
If there is a wizard that is optimized for their defense of the stronghold, all plans will fail.
– Well, that…that.
– ..I didn’t even think of that.
– Wait, so we won’t be able to get to the base anyway, right? Who is the opponent you have to break through anyway?
“The victory condition of the battle is to occupy the base… but there is no need to rush it. Rather, it is much safer to reduce the number of enemies and take it slowly.”
– ….
– ..I was short on my thoughts, I’m sorry, Captain.
– Well then, I’ll set up a vigilante and let everyone take a break. The captain worked hard today too.
“You guys worked hard, too. I’ll get stronger from tomorrow, so don’t be too nervous.”
At the end of those words, communication with the platoon leaders was cut off all at once, and only the communication port with the lights turned off existed in front of me.
“Uh-huh.”
With this, all of today’s message has been spread.
“It’s a wolf tactic.”
The problem of lack of communication is solved by using a communication tool.
The geography problem was also solved because the geography of the forest used as the venue was already explored.
After passing information about enemies to each other, and understanding the size of the enemy.
Gather at the nearest meeting point and send the radio to me, the captain.
And after that, when my permission is granted, the wolves hunt their prey.
It was an operation that was possible thanks to the swampy terrain and the forest that obscured the view.
“…I wish there were no variables.”
If they charge you and I die to the base, we will have to do all-out warfare to seize the base of the honor class.
If the front row led by Kurz could somehow attract time, time had an advantage this way.
” ..Rommel Ball.”
At that moment, Louis approached with a rustling sound from the side.
I couldn’t meet Louis’s gaze directly, perhaps because of what had happened earlier in my mind.
After a moment of silence, Louie began to speak quietly as if he had decided on something.
” ..I have one request.”
” Request..? “
“Yeah, if this opposition is over, can you go to my hometown with me…so…?”
“?”
A sudden suggestion came out of Louis’ mouth.
Because of Louis’ sudden suggestion, my head suddenly turned white.
******
‘ …can you? “
To Espera Louie, Griff Rommel is like a close friend.
At the beginning of the semester, when Rommel was sitting next to him, he felt something unusually strong and talked to him first, but…
Louis’ family is the Espera family, who is said to be a master of commerce.
Therefore, Louis could be proud that his eyes were the best in the empire.
Louis was also gifted with the ability to see people from ancestral generations.
So, somehow, he stuck with Rommel.
I thought that this person would be someone who would achieve great things someday, so I thought it wasn’t too bad to be friends with him now.
close friendly relationship.
It was the most ideal relationship that Louis thought, and in fact, he succeeded in establishing it.
He is also satisfied with his relationship with Rommel… I thought so.
If it hadn’t happened a while ago, he would have been mistaking his own mind.
The princess began to cling to Rommel.
The princess shining brilliantly at the ball, the one who climbed to the top she could not reach, was staring at her close friend.
And… the moment the princess started rubbing her face against Rommel’s arm.
He felt something hot in his heart pounding and rising.
would be friends
A good friend should look like a good friend… . I should have applauded and congratulated you…
The moment he realized the princess’s intentions, he felt emotions that he had never known before, and that he did not know, began to stab him in his heart.
The merchant does not miss the opportunity that comes.
The Espera family gets what they want unconditionally.
Words my father told me when I was young.
What he wants and is precious to him right now is… Griff Rommel.
Whatever it is, even if it’s an emotion you shouldn’t have in a friendship.
He didn’t want to miss the opportunity that came his way.
Having confirmed his feelings once more with what had just happened in the tunnel, Louis decided to make Griff Rommel his own.
