Possessed in a Family of War Heroes - Possessed in a Family of War Heroes chapter 25

25 – Why Occupy the Hill?

The training period given to us by the academy was five days.

However, it took three days for Lihi to complete the training.

At first, I thought they were simply targeting supply lines.

In that way, I expected to pressure Team B and recapture the hill effortlessly.

But it wasn’t. Richie went far ahead of our expectations.

“Ariete. Is it necessary to occupy the hill just because it is a highland occupation war?”

“What are you talking about?”

“No. I just wondered if there would be no enemy to occupy the high ground.”

Once I heard that far, I knew exactly what Lihi was aiming for.

That guy just wants to end everything at once!

Using the fact that the opposing team overestimates itself, it makes them obsessed with the goal of high ground.

If you had a lot of experience, you would have seen it more broadly, but I figured out that wasn’t the case and cut off the supply line.

Continue to attack and contain the highlands, and instill the image of ‘we want to recapture the highlands’.

Team B’s colleagues were completely swept away by that. All options have been cut out.

On the first day, I couldn’t make a decision right away because I felt sorry for the high ground I had occupied.

The next day, I was late because I was embarrassed by the unexpected situation and tried to deal with it.

On the third day, everyone was exhausted, so they figured out the situation according to their taste.

‘My classmates from the Knights Faculty, my classmates from the Officers Faculty, and at least Garen. They thought that Lehi was trying to hold the high ground in his hands, just like they did.’

But Lihi wasn’t interested in high ground from the start.

Cutting off supply lines and taking action to recapture them.

All of them were just devices to decorate the finale.

“Did you come down? Then you have to go out to meet me. Come on, let’s go!”

Our teammates ate well all three days, drank warmly and slept soundly at night.

On the contrary, the opposing team members were exhausted physically and mentally and pushed to their limits.

It was obvious what the outcome would be when they faced each other.

“Kuu!”

Garen Carlisle. To be honest, an aspiring knight with better skills than me.

He fell helplessly, tripping his feet under my blow.

A blow that would have been easily blocked in a normal sparring match worked very easily.

“Ha.”

Garen let out a strong sigh as she looked bewildered at missing the sword.

“You caught me off guard.”

After losing, your head must have cooled down for the first time. Reason must have returned.

Things that I couldn’t look at properly before because I was chased by the situation.

Because I was obsessed with the goal of high ground, I couldn’t figure out what the other person really wanted.

It seemed that all of that had finally popped into Garen’s head.

The game is already over. So I reached out my hand to the fallen man.

“You worked hard, Garen.”

“Sama Ariete….”

This is still trying to treat me like a duke’s daughter.

How many times do you say that you are the same student and the same motivation here?

“Big. Sorry, no sorry.”

Garen stands up holding my hand and looks around.

The other motives have already been overpowered, so I am drinking the water my teammates gave me.

You deserve to be angry about defeat, but is it because you were beaten too hard?

Everyone said, ‘I live! It’s over!’

Hey, I must have been pretty tired after not eating or drinking for three days.

Still, it’s great to see them all fighting.

“Did Lihi aim for this from the beginning?”

“… Maybe, I think so.”

“Ha. Driving me crazy. There was even a notice that it was a highland occupation war. So we were all focusing on that, but that friend was completely different and watching.”

Aren’t you stumped? So do i. To be honest, I’m still dumbfounded.

I think we took it seriously as well, but I don’t think it was to Lihi.

He told us clearly while wielding both enemies and allies thoroughly.

This is nothing more than a child’s play. If you don’t look bigger, you will only die more.

“… That’s great.”

Unbeknownst to me, my self-talk came out. Fortunately, Garen didn’t seem to hear.

Anyway, you rich. What a great man He said he hates the military and he’s more of a soldier than anyone else.

Suddenly, I felt very good. Because my judgment wasn’t wrong.

As expected, that man is greedy. I want to make him my man if I can.

At the same time, I am worried. I have to work hard to not fall behind, right?

“Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Take good care of yourself, Lihi. This person in front of you is your future boss.

No, should I say master, not superior? No matter what.

The training scheduled for five days ended in three days.

It was a hill occupation battle, but one team fighting over the hill was completely destroyed.

On the spot, I said, ‘Isn’t this the end? Haven’t you ever had one?’

Perhaps the picture came out a bit different from what the academy wanted.

To be honest, I was a little bit worried while doing this.

They are still chicks, but they seem to have taken the training too seriously.

I’m sorry that I starved for three days and nights. Don’t you know if it’s not right?

I thought about what to do at that time if it was a problem, but–

“Wouldn’t it be necessary to continue training? The match has already been won.”

From noble mtl dot com

Through applause, the prince subtly took my side.

It may not be the picture you guys wanted, but it was impressive enough.

This is enough for first year training, so don’t do it.

Not anyone else, but the crown prince and the future emperor said that.

Can anyone say, ‘Still, the painting is a bit strange’?

Even if my father came, he would have said he would know right away and would have bowed his head.

Anyway, the training went back to our A team’s victory.

Instead, I was being called by the prince and having a private meeting with him.

“Nice to see you here. Rich Reinhardt. The Grand Marshal used to look at me and talk about you. I mean, it’s going to be a good relationship. Do you think you can comfortably be brother or sister in private?”

My grandfather. No matter how pretty the youngest grandson is, in front of the crown prince….

No, no. On the contrary, if you are my grandfather, you are fully qualified.

Above all, the emperor, who values the authority of the imperial family, is the one who even gave him the unprecedented title of ‘General Marshal’.

Although he has retired now, there will be only one Grand Marshal in the future.

It’s possible that he’s been friendly with the prince, who’s the same as his grandson, since he’s been alone with the emperor several times.

“Umm, can I call you Lihi?”

“Is it possible or not?”

I quietly waited for the prince’s next words.

“First of all, I want to say thank you.”

“Your Highness?”

“I was very impressed. This training. The training of the other grades was good, but the first grade was the best.”

“I am just thrilled that you said that.”

“Especially, I couldn’t help but admire the fact that even though most of them were sons of nobles, they had no mercy for three days and nights, let alone food.”

“….”

Your Highness the Crown Prince. Prince, you bastard. Am I drinking water now?

It’s such a fun thing that you can’t help admiring it no matter where you look at it.

To be honest, while I was doing it, I was worried about what to do.

“Are you worried about the future? If you were worried about that, wouldn’t it be normal if you didn’t even work in the first place? The Lihi I saw, you’re not the kind of person who wouldn’t have thought of that much.”

“… Your Highness is indeed right.”

Yes. Confess. I was worried, but I was worried for 10 seconds.

There’s an invincible excuse, ‘Oh, this is training, what are you doing?!’

If you want to find the authority of the nobility, you can go to an easy school and suck honey before returning to the manor.

But since you’re a knight or an officer, from the moment you choose, you become a noble and a sword of the empire at the same time.

It’s only natural for those who want to roll their bodies comfortably to be out.

“Originally, I should go to another training session, but seeing your way, I don’t think I’ll be satisfied. hahahaha.”

I’m begging you, but please don’t go to the seniors’ training ground.

If that’s the case, the very next day everyone will come and say, ‘Leehi junior! Teach us too!’

“There is something I want to ask you. Lihi.”

“Come to Xiamen.”

“As I heard, there is not one department.”

Is this the story of multiple faculties? I answered yes to the prince’s question.

“The officer department, and the administrative department.”

Questions like why did you make that choice will come soon.

I was looking for an appropriate answer, but the next thing the prince said was completely different.

“The proud soldiers of the Empire are highly motivated and loyal. Experiences are ripe, and I’ll break out at any time for the safety of the empire. Also, based on my experiences so far, I have prepared many things so that I will never lack.”

Why are you suddenly praising yourself? No. That’s not what the prince was saying right now.

– I prepared this much, but the Faculty of Public Administration? Are there any problems behind our Imperial forces?

If you’re going to ask an academy student that much, it seems like you gave me a pretty generous score.

Somehow, it seems that his ‘Reinhardt’ played a big role this time too.

This is why I was trying not to do military work. Expectations are just too high. sh*t….

“Everything will be blessed by His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Family. It really can’t be anything to be happy about. So I just want to help in a small way.”

– There is no big problem. Still, I can’t say there’s not much, and there are a few things that bother me, so I’m going to try to do something about them.

Then the prince stared blankly at me.

I wonder what he’s going to say this time, he opens his mouth while looking at his eyes.

“Looking forward to it. I admired your loyalty.”

That’s strange. Why is that saying to me, ‘Oh. Slave found.’ Is that what it sounds like?
