◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (106)

Marquis Dwayne.

Even in a fast-moving situation, he did not miss the enemy’s movements.

No, rather, he was checking the situation more keenly and meticulously to see if there was anything he was missing.

“……hmm?”

For a moment, a wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows.

As if he had discovered something, he immediately called out to three or four quick-footed soldiers.

“Did you call?”

“You need to go here right now and check the terrain. Understand the details written here.”

He handed the soldier a note.

It was a note with important conditions that had to be checked at the location.

The soldier who received the note nodded and quickly began to ride his horse.

“Hmm…….”

After the soldiers left, Marquis Dwayne looked at the map.

Since it is a map that has been worked on in great detail, we judged that the possibilities are very high.

‘How did I get to a place like this… … .’

If this works out for sure, it could end the battle much sooner than expected.

“Is Prince Byron finally ascending to the throne……”

If that happens, then I, who was closest to him… … .

“Haha.”

Dwayne let out a small laugh at the laughter that escaped his lips even though he tried to hold it back.

But the fight isn’t over yet. And what’s more, the scouts that were sent out must return.

It wasn’t a long distance so it didn’t seem like it would take that long, but Marquis Dwayne felt like he was waiting longer than expected.

When the scout returned shortly afterwards,

Shh.

The corners of Marquis Dwayne’s mouth went up at their report.

Dwayne said, after checking with him for sure.

“Stop marching. Call together all commanders of all units.”

The final meeting that can end this war once and for all has begun.

* * *

Inside the hastily constructed makeshift barracks, Dwayne looked at all the assembled commanders.

Dwayne unfolded the map, looking at the fierce figures of the generals who were famous throughout the kingdom, including the commander of the legions.

Before the meeting began, Count Aolen Thein, commander of the 1st Army Corps, asked:

“Why did you stop the military when the clock is ticking right now?”

“Because there is an important strategy that could end this war right away.”

“……?”

“What is that……?”

The commanders gathered there began to stir at Dwayne’s words.

Of course, such a reaction is bound to occur.

Marquis Dwayne is a man who doesn’t even joke around saying anything nonsense.

Especially at such an important moment, wouldn’t they have called them here to tell some ridiculous joke?

As the commanders’ eyes turned serious again, Dwayne pointed to the map he had spread out.

“We will split our force in half here and continue in the same direction as we originally were going.”

Then Dwayne pointed in the opposite direction with his finger and placed two horses centered on one piece of terrain.

“And then divide the force in half again into two…….”

Swish- swish.

I quickly moved the horse I had placed on the map.

Count Aolen, who had first spoken to Dwayne at the horse’s movements, frowned.

“What is that movement for?”

“We’ll block the main force’s path so they can’t pass, and then we’ll use these two units to force them to come here.”

“What’s there that you’re going to go through all that trouble for? Wouldn’t it be best to just set up camp in the plains we were planning to go to and block them from going up to the capital?”

Of course, even if you do that, your chances of winning are high.

To begin with, their forces are far more numerous, and if they can secure the position first, it is bound to be advantageous.

“But even so, we can’t avoid a major battle. And we have to consider quite a few casualties on our side as well.”

At least 10 thousand or more.

Even if you kill your enemies in a favorable situation, you cannot avoid great sacrifices. In addition,

“After this fight is over, the soldiers who are pointing their swords at us now will eventually become our forces. If we kill them all mercilessly, what are you planning to do after that?”

Although internal fighting for the throne is inevitable, there are also diplomatic issues to consider after Prince Byron becomes king.

It is fundamental that in any diplomatic endeavor, the powerful can gain the upper hand.

“Ahem…….”

Count Aolen coughed in vain with an embarrassed expression at Marquis Dwayne’s words.

Because from beginning to end, there is nothing wrong with what Marquis Dwayne said.

So the 5th Corps Commander who was standing next to him asked.

“So, are you saying that the situation will be easily resolved just by bringing them here?”

Nod.

Dwayne nodded.

And he said, pointing to the map.

“I looked at the terrain here and thought I had seen this place somewhere, so I quickly went to do some scouting.”

Although it was a small town, it was surrounded by mountains and its terrain and structure were somewhat unique.

It was a place that gave off a sense of foreboding, as if they had searched for it many times before.

And we could know for sure through reconnaissance.

“Our reconnaissance has revealed that the walls here contain a huge amount of explosive rocks, which are the very material used to create explosions.”

If made properly, it is an explosion comparable to 5-circle fire magic.

The fact that there are so many explosive rocks that can be used as materials for such explosions means that even a slight impact can completely destroy the place.

“Lure the enemy leaders here, then completely block the entrance with an explosion. After that, if we just kill them……”

“……indeed.”

“An explosive stone…….”

When a story that they could never have imagined came out, all the commanders present burst into admiration.

There was good reason for his high reputation.

“Hmm… That seems quite possible.”

“But will they get in there properly?”

Although it is possible, there are bound to be many problems.

The corners of Dwayne’s mouth twitched at those words.

Something that would never normally work.

But since he was Prince Ethan, he was bound to get caught.

“I can’t help but get involved. There are over fifty people in that village.”

Ethan never abandons the people of the kingdom.

Even if it is a path leading to the gates of hell where one might die.

“Then let’s get ready.”

To cast a net to catch a dragon.

Dwayne’s mouth was filled with a wider smile than ever as he watched the commanders quickly return to their original positions.

* * *

“……?”

It was a time where every moment passed very quickly.

Moreover, at every moment, there was tension that could not be ignored.

In a situation where he had to concentrate to the point of brutality, Lian frowned as he looked at Prince Byron’s army that had suddenly stopped.

‘……what?’

Lian was chasing them, waiting for some chance to arise.

But, they suddenly stopped moving at an unbelievable speed considering they were a large army of 30,000 people.

‘What’s going on?’

Lian waited silently, unable to grasp the situation.

Since something unexpected has happened, you will receive a call from Zedron and Semut, who were monitoring you.

And as expected, not long after, two people began to quickly approach Lian.

“Captain!”

“Lord Lian!”

They ran towards Lian in a hurry and started reporting on what was happening.

“What’s going on? Why did they suddenly stop?”

Lian asked Semut.

This question must be resolved first.

And Semut answered without hesitation, as if he had known that would happen.

“It looks like the guys are having a meeting in a makeshift barracks right now.”

“Yes, the commanders of each unit and Marquis Dwayne went into the barracks and held a meeting for about twenty minutes.”

“Twenty minutes……?”

It was a meeting that proceeded incredibly quickly.

Something that can’t happen unless there is a sudden change.

As Lian frowned, Zedron continued his report.

“What’s important is the guys’ movements right after the meeting. They suddenly started dividing into units, and then they divided the units into half again and started moving somewhere.”

“where?”

At those words, Zedron unfolded the map and pointed to it with his finger.

“It’s not exact yet, but the current estimates are here and… here.”

It’s a place where it’s hard to find a specific location.

Moreover, although it is in the direction of our main force, the direction itself is ambiguous.

It’s not like I turn around and hit from behind, nor is it like I’m running the shortest distance to cut them off.

‘What on earth are you planning…?’

Lian stared at the map.

Surely the answer lies in the guys’ movement path… … .

‘What is it… … What is it… … .’

Soon, a point caught Lian’s eye.

A terrain that is extremely heterogeneous, yet somehow recognizable?

“for a moment…….”

Lian quickly spread out the map he had.

Unlike the map that Zedron had, this one had slightly more detailed markings.

And soon, he started following the direction the guys were moving, comparing it to where Zedron had pointed.

“Hey, does anyone know the name of this place?”

“……Place name?”

“Isn’t this… just a forest? Well, it’s not really a forest, but there’s something in the middle, I guess….”

Semut shook his head. Then Zedron looked at Lian and said.

“There’s a guy under me named Teslon. He’s from around here, so you might know him.”

“Find out quickly, quickly!”

At Lian’s words, Zedron quickly ran towards the unit. Soon after, he was joined by a man of a fairly large size.

“Chu, loyalty! Teslon, meet the commander…….”

“Enough greetings. Look at this map.”

Lian pointed to a crescent-shaped feature in the forest.

“Do you know the name of this terrain?”

“……Hmm.”

Tesla began to examine the map closely.

If it’s not even on the map, it’s either incredibly small or almost unknown to most people.

Teslan, who was looking at the map, soon spoke to Lian.

“If it’s here… it’s Flom.”

“Flom?”

“Yes, it’s a very small town, not many people live there, and it’s not well known. But why is that?”

‘Plom, you say…?’

At that moment, Lian’s pupils trembled greatly.

Because a certain memory suddenly flashed through my mind.

‘Flom… … massacre.’

At that moment, Lian’s pupils trembled greatly.

Isaac, who was present at the scene, asked with a surprised expression.

“Why are you doing this, Captain?”

“Why are you doing that?”

Varus also spoke to Lian with a worried expression.

But Lian couldn’t answer the two people’s questions.

‘That Flom Massacre… … why is it happening at this time… …?’

The Flåm Massacre that Lian knew of was an incident that occurred after Prince Byron became king, when he suppressed those who opposed him.

In terms of timing, it means approximately 2-3 years from now.

A horrific incident where the walls surrounding a small town called Flom were destroyed to trap rebels, then set on fire and massacred them.

Of course, if we only consider strategy, it could be said to be a tremendous battle that is perfect, but

‘What if that brutal incident… … is actually happening now, not two or three years later? Wait, is it true that Byron took over the royal family through Tadial in the past?’

Except for the period when the Flåm Massacre took place, the circumstances, the terrain, and… … even the number of troops leading up to the battle were very similar to today.

‘If the massacre at Flåm happened before Byron became king, rather than after, then all the circumstances make sense.’

So, there is one more thing we can infer from this.

‘Saving Count Bansern’s family… …isn’t that the result of my actions?’

In a past life, someone had saved Count Vansern’s family, and if Prince Byron had not advanced to Tardyal and gone to the capital.

Everything that is happening now is a repeat of the war of princes that took place in the past life.

“……under.”

Lian let out a sigh as if she was in absurd.

Until now, he thought that he had saved Count Bansern’s family and that was how things turned out.

‘Was I too proud… …?’

I thought I was being too arrogant, thinking that I vaguely knew the flow of the past.

‘No, no.’

Lian quickly shook her head.

Even if by some chance this were true, the Flåm Massacre would certainly secure Prince Byron’s succession to the throne.

‘then…….’

If what has happened so far is simply a repetition of the past, then the only thing that can be changed is the outcome of the Flåm Massacre.

Lian stood up from her seat.

“Isaac, Varus. We will lead the troops straight to here.”

“……Is this place?”

“All right.”

Barus asked with a puzzled look, but Isaac nodded without hesitation.

Barus nodded at that sight.

“All right.”

And Lian said in response to the two people’s answers.

“We have to hurry. From now on, it’s a real fight against time.”

Who will reach the flume first?

All wins and losses depend on it.
