chapter 24
24 – Why Capture the Hill?
“Come on, everyone. If you obediently serve the food truck, there will be no bloodshed.”
Hee hee. Give it up. Give me the rice! Give me the water! Even a sleeping bag! Kendo for training! Give me everything!
“For now, I’ll leave it like last time, but this… Whew. We don’t even know anymore.”
Faculty and staff at the academy scratch their heads and leave supplies behind.
At first, I thought, ‘Everyone! It can’t be like this!’ And tried to protect it.
However, as soon as I swung the training sword I was holding, he immediately said “Keack” And backed away.
As expected, kind words and fists work better than kind words.
I immediately ordered the team to move all supplies to our camp.
“… Hey lich. Can this really be like this?”
“What else could be the problem? My friend, Enter?”
“Get rid of that gross language. It’s not something to be taken lightly as a joke.”
Enter’s expression is unmatched serious. Um, I’ll be serious if I do more here, so I’ll quit.
“It’s been three days since Team B didn’t receive supplies.”
“Yes.”
“Aren’t you worried?”
Worried? Why me? Are all those guys over there right now my enemies?
Who could be more stupid than the one who worries about the enemy on the battlefield.
“You bastard, your expression! Am I worried about team B right now?! Wouldn’t this be a problem after death, or what if something happens to me because I didn’t receive supplies, I’m asking about that!”
“Whoa. Calm down. No matter what, if you grab the commander by the collar, enter, is it an assault on your superior?”
Two seconds before Enter’s hand grabbed me by the collar, I was able to block it with my superior assault shield.
If I did something wrong, I could have been stabbed again in front of the kids.
“Enter is correct.”
Michelle, who was quietly robbing her supplies, continued her words as if she was worried.
“Nowhere in the announcement did it say that you could tamper with the supplies that go to each team.”
I did. Regarding supplies, all I could say was ‘the academy prepares them.’
Maybe it’s too much because there’s no more detailed explanation on that part.
By the way, kids? You guys are missing the most important thing.
“I didn’t say you could do it, but I didn’t say you shouldn’t.”
“Hey, Lihi. That….”
“Are you saying it’s sophistry? Well. It doesn’t look like it to me.”
They took the high ground as they wished. And wow! And congratulate yourself on your victory.
Now, on the contrary, we have to become the attackers and recapture that highland.
But do I have to hit it from the front and take it by force? Could there be many other things?
No, no. Is it necessary to occupy the high ground in the first place?
Isn’t it okay if there is no enemy to fight over the high ground in the first place?
“In the first place, this training was set up with the feeling of a real battle. There’s a reason why you let it roll for five days. And it’s natural to cut off supply lines in real battles. No?”
“That’s right, but… no, that’s it… sh*t, I don’t even know.”
You tangle my hair and the enter turns off! Let out a groan
I’m told to do it first, but I don’t know if this is really correct.
So I decided to put my arm around him and give him some really helpful advice.
“Enter. You know what a sure sign that I’m doing well when I’m fighting someone?”
“… You this child You are saying something strange.”
This is why I don’t like quick-witted friends.
“That’s right. You get to hear the saying, f*ck together.”
Then Enter looked at me with a very strange gaze.
Why? It’s not just a made-up word. Is this really true?
“Are you starting to look like Lester? What is that?”
“Anyway, bringing Leicester and attaching it is a bit much.”
As we talked about this and that, we came to our A-team camp.
The supply materials of Team B, which had been stolen from three days ago, were already piled up there.
“Did you steal it again?!”
While checking things, Ariete lets out her sigh as if she is stunned.
Of course I have to shake it off. Those who can’t keep the supply line don’t deserve to eat!
“Crazy, really. Lihi, did you leave the kids out on the first day for this purpose?”
“Right.”
On the first day, Team B must have felt something strange.
It must be a similar number, so the number of people who fit must have been strangely small.
They might have been worried that they might be trying to hit them in the back.
In reality, I had them go downstairs to guard the supply line.
Team B might have similar thoughts to mine.
Even if that’s not the case, you have to make at least one ‘excuse’.
“Ah, we thought of the supply line as if it were a real battle, and even recruited a few people to protect the back, but what did you guys do?! Is this a kid’s joke?!”
Team B or the academy raise objections to my operation to steal food trucks?
I brought that reason and tried to bully either Team B or the academy in charge of training.
I thought of it as if it were a real battle, but what kind of problem?! I honestly have nothing to say.
“Honestly, I thought something would come out, but it’s surprisingly quiet.”
“The back of your head will tingle. Because I was beaten in a part I didn’t even think of.”
I turned my head slightly and looked at the high ground in front of me.
They weren’t fools either, so they figured out the situation before the day passed.
The fact that we deliberately gave up the high ground and instead decided to seize the supply line that we had neglected.
I was startled and tried to hurriedly lower the personnel, but whoever wanted to?
When I secretly pretended to hit the notice, they got scared and prepared to defend themselves.
Of course, it didn’t go up on the first day. Our kids need to get some rest too. You must be tired.
It’s time to eat, so eat, and if you’re thirsty, drink water. If your clothes are dirty, change them.
If the sword you are holding is in poor condition, quickly replace it with a new one.
That’s how the fight begins. It’s a tactic and a strategy, it’s all done after supplying it.
After that, they tried several times to organize personnel and receive supplies.
But? Are we seeing it as it is?
As soon as I got a hint, I grabbed their feet, saying, ‘Should I hit you or not?’.
They will notice if you keep pretending, so I mixed the number of times appropriately.
Sometimes they beat with the momentum to steal it right away, and sometimes they attack moderately and fall out.
Either he or she just prepared for the attack and said, “Yeah. I’m not going.’
“They are probably on the verge of going crazy and jumping. It’s because we set up camps along the way and stole all the supplies coming. To do that, it is difficult to see clearly when the staff is removed.”
“All in all, everyone puts in a lot of energy on the first day, causing hunger and conflicts, but that makes it even worse?”
“By the way, there was no sleeping bag, so it must have been quite cold during the night. If people don’t sleep properly, their vitality is extremely low.”
“… I didn’t see it that way, but you, Lihi, are very vicious.”
Ah, you should have thought of the supply ship first!
Can’t future Imperial Knights and Officers even think of that?! If you don’t, you’ll have to!
If they wanted to take issue with this right away, the academy would have stepped in.
Even the crown prince is watching. What is this?! I would have screamed.
But it is quiet. Doesn’t raise any issues. What does this mean?
‘The Academy condoned it. Or maybe the crown prince will ask me to watch.’
Whatever it was, the part where my strategy would be a problem was gone.
Now all that’s left is to beat up my friends who are hungry, thirsty and can’t sleep.
‘It’s fortunate that the guys over there and us are all kids.’
Officially, what I was aiming for was their supply line.
But I wasn’t just aiming for that.
All have little experience. No, not at all. As long as you know that, you should wield it as much as you like.
To be honest, this is nothing more than a joke, to put it mildly.
If all of this was a real battle, things would have turned out completely differently.
If we had rushed to live and die, we might not have been able to make a point.
But this place has neither enemies nor allies, all inexperienced and young children.
I don’t know if he has a bad temper, but he’s only a freshman now.
It must be embarrassing for the situation to turn out this way. I don’t know what to do.
Let’s go down and attack us? Couldn’t eat or drink, exhausted?
Let’s take some out and get supplies? Are we just going to watch it?
Can you hold out like this for two more days? The noble babies have already starved for three days?
“Let’s drive a wedge now.”
“Putting wedges? Are you planning to attack the high ground?”
I shook my head at Ariete’s question.
“No?”
“Yes. Why are you attacking the high ground? Like an idiot.”
Whether it’s a children’s fight or a national war, the way to win in the end is the same.
Putting out revealed weaknesses over and over again.
“Leehi! Lihi!! Team B is giving up the hill and going down! We will notify you right away….”
“No, Michelle. We do not occupy the high ground.”
“Huh? What are you talking about, Richie! Now….”
“I have to hit something other than a notice.”
I’m sorry. Team B friends. It will hurt a little bit
*
I never expected to use this method.
The thing that everyone forgot, the thing that didn’t focus on the goal of occupying the high ground.
‘I didn’t think they would deliberately give the high ground and cut off the supply line.’
The prince was sincerely impressed. Team A’s strategy is excellent? Well, maybe not.
Even the prince, who doesn’t know much about the military, knows that it’s important to cut off the opponent’s supply line.
The reason he was impressed was that he caught the gap called the ‘supply ship’ from the beginning.
He boldly judged that he was “Innocent” Even if the academy had not announced it.
The fact that they prepared for the ‘justification’ by taking out people from the beginning and putting them on the supply line.
Critically, to the point of thoroughly exploiting the fact that both the enemy and the allies still lack a lot.
“hahahaha.”
Laughter comes out naturally. Why did a friend like that keep rejecting the military?
There is no such thing as motives. He harasses them thoroughly as if he were an actor.
It seems to tell me that the battlefield will be dirtier, more lethal and more difficult than this.
Rich Reinhardt. He is just a guy whose calling is to serve in the military.
“You look happy, Your Highness.”
At the baron’s words, the prince shrugged his shoulders once.
How can he not be happy since he went to and from the training ground for three days and it was not in vain.
The academy seems to be taken aback by Lihi’s technique, but isn’t this training after all?
“Your Highness. Excuse me.”
Looking at the announcement, it seems that Team B made the decision.
He seems to have decided that it would be difficult to continue insisting on the highlands.
Would you rather give up and step back and reorganize?
It would be heartbreaking to give away the stolen notice, but what can I do?
For now, it’s better to step back and keep your body in order while the opponent occupies the high ground….
“Uh.”
A line of exclamation escaped from the prince’s mouth.
Team A started moving. Not on an empty hill, but on the heels of Team B.
Only then did I know. From the beginning, Lihi’s goal was not to occupy a high ground.
