The power of field command 10
Kishin improved the weapons factory in Jeju Island three times. First, he improved efficiency, then he reduced resource consumption, and finally he found a balance between the two and optimized them. While the production of weapons increased by 12%, resource consumption decreased by 23%.
Kishin divided the operation of the factory into three modes. Normally, it operates in an optimized mode, but when there are too many weapons, it uses an economic mode that reduces resource consumption by 22% but has low production, and when the weapon inventory is low, it uses an accelerated mode that increases production by 15% but consumes slightly more resources.
The Jeju Island Commander, who realized how strategically significant the increased production and reduced resource consumption were thanks to Gishin, promoted Shin Cham-ryeong to Shin Bu-ryeong. Although the promotion was only one rank, the command authority that had previously been limited to battalion-level command was expanded to regiment-level command.
In a situation like the current strategic point defense, the only people actually deployed in battle are the bait, the recovery team, and the special forces that deal with powerful monsters, as they fight with mobile fortresses called thorny turtles. However, in large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands of people, the larger the number of troops that can be commanded, the easier it is to survive and the more opportunities there are to achieve great feats.
Kishin’s method was soon spread to other weapons factories, and sometimes people would come to Jeju Island’s weapons factories to visit and listen to Kishin’s lectures. Thanks to this, the Shin family’s reputation rose even higher. Among the families that refused to flee during the Imjin War and stayed to fight, the Shin family was the only one with remaining bloodlines, so they received a lot of support from the people, and thanks to this, Kishin’s achievements were greatly exaggerated.
As the status of the god rose, he gained access to more secrets, but there was no progress in returning to the original world. The god tried to suppress his anxious feelings and maintain his composure. He had clearly heard a message when he first entered the body of the god. The god did not give up hope that the message would tell him how to return someday.
Now that he has gotten used to it, he can sleep deeply instead of lightly. However, the monsters did not leave Kishin alone when he fell into a deep sleep. When he heard the monster alarm at dawn, Kishin skillfully put on his clothes and ran outside.
Outside, a carriage with an engine already started was waiting. If the driver came out later than Kisin, he would be beheaded at the military court. That’s why Kisin came out late at first, but now he runs out as fast as he can after realizing that it’s not necessary.
As soon as the god got on board, the engine carriage departed before the door could be closed. If the monster alarm is sounded and the player fails to arrive within the allotted time, the punishment will be determined by the battle result. Fortunately, the god has never been late so far.
“I’m reporting. A monster force of 50,000 people has invaded our defensive zone. I’ll find out the specifics and report back to you.”
The tactician had already figured out the size of the monster horde and was waiting for the tactician. The tactician makes the final decision, but all operational reports and operational orders are made by the tactician. If something goes wrong, the tactician will be punished instead of the commander, who is clearly of noble birth. Therefore, if the commander’s orders are judged to be inappropriate, the tactician has the authority to modify the orders at his own discretion.
“The scale of the situation has been determined. 50,000 wards in the city and 1,800 wards in Hanro, this is a very special situation.”
If there are 50,000 Shigu, there should be less than 1,000 Hanro. The ratio of Hanro is abnormally high, and Kisin is caught. Shigu and Hanro are monsters that appeared when Shingi took the Count’s test in the past. The monsters up to stage 3 have the characteristic that the ratio of stage 1 monsters increases rapidly as their size increases. Since these are statistical data collected over a period of almost a hundred years, they have sufficient reference value.
“Your Majesty, please give the operational order.”
Usually, when it’s small, the kishin simply says, “Operation begins.” This means that he leaves all command to the tactician. Although it’s a medium-sized unit, the ratio of Hanro is high, so the kishin decided to give the operation order directly. He’s been studying hard and is confident.
“Use the bait. Lure them to Operation Area B.”
The tactician gave the operational order without a second thought, as Kishin’s thoughts coincided with his own. The monsters in the form of dogs were lured to Area B by those in charge of the bait and various fake baits. Since Kishin had no experience, an especially experienced tactician was assigned, and the operation of the bait was a work of art.
“Lure success, density is level 2.”
The smaller the monsters, the easier it is to increase the density. If the size is large, there are many variables and the density varies by group. A level 2 is a very good density.
“3 o’clock direction 1st class 2nd class 3rd class 3rd class Baekjeong”
“7 o’clock direction 1st class ceiling 2nd class 800 jeong 3rd class 50 jeong”
“11 o’clock direction 1st class ceiling 2nd class Baekjeong 3rd class Baekjeong”
“The remaining turtles are 1st class, 2nd class, 500”
The operative looked at the machine gun. Usually, if you just tell them the total number, the operators of the thornbacks will distribute it. There is no case like now where the ratio of each thornback’s gun is set.
“First, at 3 o’clock, 7 o’clock, and 9 o’clock, the thornback turtles will fire for 2 minutes each, 2 minutes later, the other thornback turtles will also fire, the total firing time is 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes, I will give additional orders depending on the situation. Strictly enforce this.”
Strict implementation is an expression of the commander’s will to take half the responsibility for defeat. In this case, the operations officer must follow. Even if the operations officer unilaterally used a better operation, if the defense fails, he must take full responsibility. Even if it is obvious that greater damage will be incurred by following the commander’s order, half the responsibility can be taken to save lives.
In less than a minute, everything was ready.
“Commence firing.”
The tactician repeated the order to fire three times. Immediately, gunfire rang out and various ammunition began to fly toward the monsters. The thorny turtle was a mobile fortress designed after extensive research to attract the least attention from the monsters. However, during battle, it must be fixed to the ground due to the recoil of the guns.
There were some monsters that were unlucky enough to get hit with a single shot and die instantly, but basically, one stage 1 monster would consume more than 20 rounds of ammunition. Kishin, who was observing the battle and estimating the amount of ammunition consumed, shook his head vigorously to shake off his distracting thoughts. Right now, it was time to think about victory first.
“The magic reaction is level 0.”
As soon as the tactician finished speaking, the shooting stopped. Only then did the tactician remember that the total firing time was set to 10 minutes before the shooting. Forcibly suppressing the goosebumps that were rising all over his body, the tactician ordered the recovery team to be deployed. If time passes, the monster’s corpse will ‘evaporate’. It is called evaporation because no one knows how it disappears. Before that, we must recover as many magic stones as possible.
“Report the situation elsewhere.”
“The northern coast is being defended steadily. The southern and western coasts are still struggling.”
The west coast is close to Tsushima Island, and the south coast is warmer than the north coast, so monsters prefer it more. That’s why the monsters there are much larger than those here.
“Three thornbacks are being sent to the southern coast as reinforcements. Transfer command authority immediately.”
The operation officer transferred command of the three thorny turtles to the southern coast control room. The thorny turtles immediately began to move with all their guns out. If they move with their guns out, there is a high chance that the guns will break, so they must move with their guns out even if it is a little slow.
“We will leave only the necessary personnel behind and the remaining people will go and help the recovery team. We must recover as many magic stones as possible.”
The guards, wearing protective gear, left the command center. Japanese refugees also came out voluntarily and began to dig up the monsters’ corpses. The recovery team dragged the monsters’ corpses, judged them to be dead, and handed over the bodies whose hearts could be easily extracted to civilians, while they took care of the bodies whose hearts were difficult to extract.
When Kishin personally participated in the recovery of the magic stone, the people’s morale was greatly increased. In addition to the idea of strengthening Jeju Island’s defense and saving lives, there was also some element of a show to leave a good impression on people. If there was an emergency, there would be at least one more person on their side, so they would not suffer a loss.
“This is really amazing. If I see this and upload it, there’s going to be another uproar.”
The grade of this battle commanded by Kishin was indeterminate. Compared to the battle method that the program judged to be grade 1, it took less than half the time, the number of guns mobilized was 70%, and only 50% of the ammunition was consumed. The program created by analyzing dozens of years of battle data was in Kishin’s brain.
Kishin worked hard to collect magic stones without fear of his clothes getting dirty. Monsters don’t bleed no matter how many times they’re hit by bullets. However, they do have bodily fluids, so there’s no way to avoid getting his clothes dirty.
At that moment, the Japanese refugees ran back, exclaiming in shock. When they straightened their backs and checked, they saw a small figure moving in the center of the corpse. The bodyguard who had been following Gishin to protect him handed him a telescope.
The monster, the size of a medium-sized calf, had the body of a cat and the head of a dog. Its body was painted in five or six different colors, while its head was white. Kishin couldn’t remember the monster’s name, but he remembered that it was a stage 5 monster.
“Dispatch the special forces immediately.”
Stage 4 can be dealt with physical force. However, since the number of bullets required to deal with one is enormous, magicians or special forces are usually mobilized. Stage 5 cannot be dealt with a large physical blow, so it is almost impossible to deal with it with regular bullets. Special forces have magical weapons, so there is hope for them.
At that moment, the monster suddenly ran towards Kishin. The Japanese refugees and bodyguards around him blocked Kishin’s path. It had not been long since Viscount Shin-hu died, so it was obvious what the Count would think if Shin-gi, his direct descendant, died again. Their position was that they had to protect Shin-gi’s life at all costs.
Fortunately, the monster stopped nearby without attacking anyone. It was mumbling something with its mouth, but it was impossible to understand. Then, a small creature wriggled out from under the monster’s belly. Surprisingly, the monster had given birth to a baby.
– The monster Tengu has feelings for you.
– Some monsters are descendants of spirits. This world is destined to be destroyed by monsters. Please break that fate.
– You have discovered another secret following the witch’s. The more secrets you discover, the easier it will be for your wishes to come true.
– Here’s a special note. Cheon-gu’s baby is Hyo-cheon. Unlike Cheon-gu, who has a cat’s body, he has a dog’s body. Monsters don’t eat food.
– Hyochon is absolutely loyal to his master. Since they are soul-connected, there is no need to worry about betrayal. Approach Hyochon bravely and hug him.
Gisin shook off the people who tried to stop him with a military order, approached Cheon-gu, and hugged Hyo-cheon. After confirming that Hyo-cheon was resting his head on Gisin’s chest, Cheon-gu took a few steps back and collapsed. Only then did the people feel relieved and devoted themselves to retrieving the magic stone.
‘I followed the message’s instructions again without any resistance. It’s the same situation as when I ate the spirit’s bead or something last time.’
– Hyochon grows to a certain extent by absorbing natural mana. After growth stops, it can only be grown using magic stones.
