◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (139)

From the perspective of the Artian Kingdom, this was something that had to be resolved regardless of whether the Meladion Kingdom had launched a preemptive attack or not.

The reason is simple.

It was because of the Baroque Kingdom that bordered the eastern border.

When looking at the entire continent, it can be roughly divided into three parts, with the Kingdom of Meladion in the west, the Kingdom of Artian in the center, and the Kingdom of Baroque in the east.

Of course, the Baroque Kingdom occupied almost 50% of the land, but the Artian Kingdom was stuck between the two kingdoms, so it was bound to be threatened from both sides.

“Are there no other movements in the Baroque Kingdom?”

“It seems like they are concentrating their efforts on subduing the northern barbarians.”

“I guess they probably don’t want to be hindered by them as much as possible during their future advance into the continent.”

The Baroque Kingdom, which had been passively dealing with the North, began to actively engage in suppression.

This is the part where you might think that they were considering advancing into the continent, three years after the end of the non-aggression pact.

Ethan asked.

“How far have Marquis Sangglen and Countess Ceyla advanced so far?”

“They are currently on standby there after occupying Plebol. However, after the maintenance, they will likely advance to the capital of the Meladion Kingdom.”

“The capital city… We need to hurry and prepare here too.”

In the first place, it is a war against a kingdom.

It may not be said that ten thousand troops are small, but it won’t be enough.

As you begin to gain momentum, you will need to move in a simultaneous manner.

Ethan spoke straight to the delegates in the conference room.

“What are the current movements of the northern barbarians?”

“Their movements have become quiet for about three months now. They don’t look threatening either.”

“Then…… Are there any units that can be used for the current diversionary operation, or rather, more operations?”

“Even though we have signed a non-aggression pact with the Baroque Kingdom, we cannot withdraw the Eastern Army. However, given the current mood, it seems we may be able to move the army in the north.”

“Who is there?”

In response to Ethan’s question, one of those present spoke.

“The only ones we can call upon right now are Baron Biovan Terol’s forces.”

“If it’s Baron Biovan…….”

“I am a battalion commander belonging to the 5th Army Corps.”

“Are there any generals among the corps-level commanders who have spare time?”

“Then I think we should call General Targon.”

“General Targon. That should be fine. Then, if General Targon and Baron Biovan’s forces join forces…….”

“There are at least 7,000 troops.”

If that’s the case, then it’s enough to carry out a diversionary operation.

In the first place, they had no intention of owning more territory in the Kingdom of Meladion.

It is important to definitely put pressure on the Kingdom of Meladion and prevent them from attacking diplomatically in the future.

In that sense, General Sangklen’s decision can be said to be bold and correct.

“Let us move our forces to the northeast of Meladion immediately and reinforce General Sangklen.”

“All right.”

“Oh, and… where is the young man I saw back then?”

For a moment, I remember him and Seyla.

Didn’t even Gilbert say that he would play a big role in the future of the kingdom at that time?

Gilbert, who was standing next to him, asked.

“Are you talking about Lian?”

“That’s right. You said you were the leader of the Arrowhead Unit?”

I heard that he disappeared after the War of Succession.

When Ethan spoke about Lian, the minister who had been talking about the current situation earlier spoke to Ethan with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Your Majesty, I think you have misunderstood something.”

“what?”

“The Arrowhead unit led by Captain Lian, whom you are talking about, was the one that contributed the most to the conquest of the Meladion Kingdom’s Plebol.”

“……What?”

For a moment, Ethan looked at Gilbert and let out a hollow laugh.

Gilbert spoke subtly, looking at his gaze as if asking why he hadn’t mentioned that earlier.

“I just found out.”

“Hahaha, I see. I didn’t even know that our kingdom’s young hero had already returned.”

widely!

Ethan stood up from his chair, slamming the armrests down on him. He then spoke to everyone in the room.

“Then let us do our job. Please hurry up and provide quick support to our troops at the front.”

“Yes, Your Majesty-!”

* * *

I thought it was nothing special, but it was more popular than I thought.

Perhaps it was a strategic point in the southeastern region of the Kingdom of Meladion?

The resources of Plebol, which fell sooner than expected, went entirely to the soldiers of the Artian Kingdom.

Knock knock!

Lian lived in a barracks built outside with his Arrowhead unit, with a campfire lit.

“What are you thinking so deeply about?”

“just.”

Isaac approached the seated Lian and offered her the glass he was holding.

It was a mug of warm stew, and it was a good choice to warm up my frozen body as the weather was still cold.

Lian took the glass that Isaac offered. Then Isaac sat down next to her and said.

“How much time have you spent with the captain? Why are you trying to lie to me? It shows on your face.”

“There’s no need to gloss over it. It’s really nothing.”

However, right after entering the play field, Lian was in a very complicated situation.

In the past, you could get items from Rikal from the Artian Kingdom, or geniuses like Isaac.

And this is because even in the Kingdom of Meladion, there were things that had not yet come to light.

But doesn’t it make no sense to arbitrarily leave the formation during an exhibition to look for it?

‘If it’s the southern part of the Kingdom of Meladion… … .’

There is one thing that came to mind right after I entered Playbol.

It is a labor camp located in a place called Kaijal, located in the southern part of the Kingdom of Meladion.

In the southern part of the Kingdom of Meladion, there is a rather rough rocky mountain, and the ore that comes from it is one of Meladion’s main sources of income.

And if there’s one problem, it’s that most of the people who mine ore there are prisoners or hostages from other kingdoms.

‘… … It is also a blemish on our kingdom.’

Of course, it is right to rescue our country’s prisoners, but up until now, it has not been easily resolved even within the kingdom.

In a way, it might be because the ’cause’ that people above often talk about came first.

Because in diplomacy between kingdoms, Khaizal was always second in priority.

Because of this, the Kingdom of Artian will lose one of its greatest talents in the near future.

No, to be exact, it’s not that I don’t know that I have talent.

‘Meldir.’

A wizard from the Kingdom of Artian who worked as a slave in Kaijal.

In a continent where wizards themselves are rare, his talent as a wizard is truly remarkable.

‘And then his talent was discovered by a wizard from the Kingdom of Meladion.’

Meldir, who started on the path of becoming a magician, grew tremendously in just a few years.

But the funny thing is that he was more angry at the Artian Kingdom that abandoned him than at the Meladion Kingdom that forced him to do hard labor.

Because of this, he was quite famous among the military for participating in battles against the Artian Kingdom without hesitation.

“……This won’t work.”

No matter how much I think about it, there are too many things about this that I regret not just letting go.

If you didn’t know, then why didn’t you know? Even if you know, you can’t just ignore it.

‘You decided to have it all.’

I will have everything to surpass the strongest in the kingdom and become the strongest general on the continent.

Of course, going to Kaijal is not an easy choice.

There is only one entrance to the mine surrounded by rocky mountains.

Getting through there would be no easy task, and in a war with such a tight timeline, there would be no way Arrowhead forces would be allowed to go to Khaijal.

‘But there is a sufficient cause.’

This is a golden opportunity for the kingdom to settle issues that have been pending for a long time.

As Lian finished his thoughts and got up from his seat, Isaac looked at him with a smirk as if he had expected that.

Brant, who was standing nearby, approached Isaac and asked.

“Why are you doing that, Captain?”

“Well, I don’t know either.”

Then Isaac got up from his seat and looked at the Arrowhead unit members around him and said.

“Okay, everyone, brace yourself. I don’t know what it is, but it seems like our unit leader is going to cause some big trouble.”

“……yes?”

“……no way.”

The expressions of those who had known Lian for a long time hardened in an instant.

Especially the early Arrowhead members, Kyle, Brandt, Florent, and the current Thirty Captains, couldn’t help but look serious.

Because I remember Lian coming up with ridiculous strategies every time something like this happened.

Theron, who was near Isaac, approached him.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s nothing serious. It’s just that every time our unit leader does something like that, something big happens. This time… let’s see what kind of incident it is.”

Looking at Isaac, who had a faint line drawn at the corner of his mouth, Theron and a few others just tilted their heads.

* * *

‘… … Phew.’

Standing in front of the conference room where Sangklen was, Lian took a deep breath and collected her thoughts.

‘There will definitely be resistance.’

Because going to Kajal is not a common choice.

But I thought that the personal benefits outweighed the risk I was willing to take.

The only problem is that I can’t mention anything about Meldir.

That’s something only Lian knows.

In that case, we need to convince those inside by giving other reasons… … .

‘It won’t be easy.’

But that doesn’t mean I want to give up.

Lian, who had gathered her thoughts, knocked lightly on the door.

dripping.

“Come in.”

Lian, with a solemn expression and a low voice, entered the conference room where Sangkeulen was.

Inside, Sangklenn, Seyla, and other executives were having a meeting about the next operation.

It’s already been four days since I stayed at Playbol.

They had to advance to the capital soon, so they were hurriedly planning their route and operation.

As Ryan entered the conference room, Seyla looked at him with a surprised expression.

“Rian, what’s going on?”

“I came because I have something to tell you.”

At those words, Seyla glanced at Sangkleen, who was next to her.

As Sangklenn nodded, Saila spoke to Lian.

“Tell me.”

“Please send the Arrowhead Unit to Kaizal.”

“……Kaiser?”

As soon as Seila asked, Sangkleen’s expression hardened slightly.

Because I know what kind of place Kajal is.

“Please leave for a moment.”

Sangkleen said, looking at the other executives except for Seyla.

The other executives nodded and left the conference room as the atmosphere seemed to be getting more serious.

Click.

And not long after they left, Sangkleen asked Lian.

“Why are you suddenly mentioning Kaizal?”

Lian swallowed without realizing it as the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became cold.

‘Is it already a showdown?’

Still, I thought that since there was a merit this time, it would be a good image for Sangkeulen and Seyla.

Lian gulped at the atmosphere that became more ominous than she had expected.

‘The atmosphere is not good for talking indirectly.’

In that case, there is no other way than a head-on attack.

“My thoughts were made up,” said Lian.

“The reason is, as you both know, that Kaizal is one of the major problems that must be resolved in the Kingdom of Artian.”

“I know that, but in the current situation, it’s impossible to worry about Kaizal. Do you think you can afford to waste time on Kaizal when you have to hurry north?”

“Striking Khaizal and rescuing the forced laborers is closely related to the current war.”

“Closely related?”

“Yes. It’s not just about resolving the wounds the Artian Kingdom has.”

“Let’s keep going.”

Lian nodded at Sangkleen’s words.

There is only one thing that can convince them.

“General, do you know anything about the mineral called Kranium?”

At that moment, a scene began to appear clearly in Lian’s memory.
