◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (146)

It was Isaac.

“Aren’t you sleeping?”

Lian nodded as she watched Isaac approach and speak.

“I need to check something for a moment. Why don’t you go in and rest?”

“If the deputy commander doesn’t rest, how can I rest?”

“……It seems like you’re talking about something absurd?”

“Did you get caught?”

As Isaac spoke with a smirk, Lian also smiled faintly and walked forward.

Isaac, who had followed along, soon saw a wall in the distance.

“Is that wall the problem?”

“Yes, that triple-layered wall is the symbol of Deventeria.”

The rugged terrain of Plebol and the triple walls of Deventeria.

Although it is not large in scale, it is a place that must be passed through to go to the capital of the Kingdom of Meladion.

Because of this, their defense was more solid and tough than anywhere else.

“It might have been a little easier if we had siege weapons…….”

“It’s probably difficult to get siege weapons to this place. Maybe something like Plebol.”

Nod.

Additionally, if you move with a siege weapon, your speed will drop significantly.

Moreover, although Deventolia is located in the southern part of the Meladion Kingdom, isn’t it closer to the center?

Lian was staring at the triple wall of Deventolia without saying a word, wondering what he was thinking. And,

“……Isaac.”

“yes.”

“I mean that wall.”

“……?”

Isaac looked at Lian, who suddenly seemed to be acting a little different than usual.

Lian spoke softly, her gaze fixed on the triple wall.

“Shall we try to destroy it?”

“……yes?”

* * *

Gragon, the lord of Teventolia, looked at the Artian Kingdom troops already deployed in front with a stern expression.

“The Kingdom of Artian has truly made up its mind.”

It was a peace that lasted for quite a long time.

The peace was broken, and the enemy troops who had advanced to capture Plebol were so brave that their spirit seemed to pierce the heavens.

‘It’s ten thousand… … .’

Numerically speaking, it is not a huge army. However, if they are determined to overcome the walls, it is not impossible.

Cavilla, who was with Dragon, said, seeing his worried expression.

“Don’t worry. They’ll never get past here.”

Kabylai was the general who defended Deventeria.

“Even though Deventolia only has about 5,000 troops, they won’t be able to attack easily.”

“I trust you, but what is your basis for saying that?”

“Their goal isn’t just Deventolia, after all.”

The fact that they have come from Plebol to Deventolia means that their destination is ultimately the capital.

In that case, from their perspective, they should proceed while preserving their troops as much as possible.

“If they pass through Deventolia, they will also be quite far from the border of the Artian Kingdom. It will take a long time to replenish supplies and reinforcements.”

This means that the friendly forces dispatched from the capital can swallow up those weakened people.

There would be no room to push this place forward without risking annihilation in the battle that would follow.

“Time is on our side. Don’t worry.”

“I only trust you.”

At Cavilla’s words, Dragon looked at him with a firm expression.

And Kabylai immediately went to find his adjutant.

“Did you call?”

“How are the guys moving?”

“There has been no special movement yet.”

It had already been three days since Artian’s army had been waiting without doing anything.

From their perspective, there’s probably no way out unless they have siege weapons.

But that doesn’t mean we can let our guard down.

Because the barracks they had built looked quite shoddy, it seemed they did not intend to stay there for long.

“As time goes by, they are at a disadvantage. They will probably move soon. Don’t let your guard down.”

“yes!”

“Send the signal to the archers stationed on the wall so they can attack immediately when the order is given.”

“All right.”

It was at this moment that Roldin, Kabylai’s adjutant, turned around and answered.

Kwaaaaang-!

Kabalai reflexively jumped up from his seat at the sound of a loud noise coming from the front.

“What is this noise!”

“Oh, I’ll look into it!”

Roldin quickly answered and started running towards the gate. At that moment, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding-!

A red flag began to rise from the watchtower, accompanied by the sound of a bell from afar.

At that, Kabylai’s expression hardened.

“What……?”

Because it was a signal that the wall had collapsed.

* * *

“……You’re going to tear down the wall?”

Seyla’s eyes wavered slightly.

It was because Lian suddenly showed up and said something absurd.

Lian nodded to Seyla’s question.

“Yes, although I don’t know how large a range of destruction it can cause.”

“Is that possible? Without even a siege weapon?”

“It may not be a siege weapon, but isn’t there something with similar power?”

“What do you mean? If you mean detonation, you can’t use detonation in a place like this.”

The explosion is one of their secret weapons.

Although Deventeria needed to be taken quickly, the situation was not so dire that it required the use of explosives.

At Seila’s firm words, Lian shook his head and picked up the bow he was holding.

“Isn’t this it?”

“…….”

What does that mean? Saila swallowed dryly without realizing it.

“You… have you reached the realm of a Master?”

If that’s not the case, then it doesn’t make sense.

At Seila’s words, Lian quickly waved his hand.

“No, that’s not it……”

Lian scratched her head with an embarrassed expression. Then, she raised the corners of her lips and said.

“I thought there might be a way to do it.”

“When do you plan on doing it?”

“Please give me about two days. It is important for the unit members to rest, and I also need to increase my chances of success.”

“Okay, let’s do that. I’ll talk to General Sangklen.”

“thank you.”

Lian was truly grateful to Seyla.

Where is the commander who would follow such a ridiculous operation?

If the operation fails, it could tarnish her reputation as a capable strategist.

But Ceyla always believed in Lian.

Of course, many of the things he has done so far have been so great that they deserve trust even in this situation where there is a lack of evidence.

Seyla stood up from her seat.

“I’m already excited to see what you’ll do.”

“I will definitely live up to your expectations.”

With the answer, Lian came out.

“……Phew.”

As soon as I started talking about it, my mind began to fill with fear and doubt.

‘Can you do it?’

Lian thought of her master.

Lian described the three years he spent under Muyeong’s instruction as a miracle.

The oriental archery he possesses.

And after being here for over 30 years, he incorporated the local archery techniques and created his own new archery style.

-Remember, the bow is not just a long-range weapon that can assassinate enemies from afar. Sometimes it is better than any other weapon in close combat, and sometimes it has a more powerful destructive power than any siege weapon.

Not putting limits on archery.

What he pursued was archery that transcended the characteristics of the bow itself.

“……Phew.”

Because of this, his teachings were difficult, and it was difficult for me, who was always lacking, to just keep up.

And now,

“I will do it just this once, Master.”

Although I am still lacking and not even qualified, if I don’t do it, many of my allies could die.

‘I will definitely do it.’

If I can just do it, I’ll be able to move half a step forward from where I am now.

Lian sat down in a quiet place and casted a magic spell.

The magical power that entered and left her body became a gentle wind and began to stay by Lian’s side.

Suaaa …

Lian’s long hair fluttered in the gentle breeze.

Lian, who had reached the world of the unconscious, thought of only one goal.

And at that moment, when even that thought was fading away,

“……Phew.”

Lian slowly opened her eyes and let out a small breath. Two days passed like that.

* * *

The atmosphere was strangely quiet.

The ten thousand soldiers gathered facing Deventolia stood in their respective positions, thinking about the battle that would soon follow.

And at the center of it all, Sangkeulen said:

“Can I believe it?”

“For now, I think we have no choice but to believe it.”

Seyla recalled the conversation she had with Lian two days ago.

How on earth do you plan on destroying that wall?

Seila looked ahead calmly, thinking of Lian who had not yet appeared.

Same old situation.

The soldiers on the walls of Deventolia stood guard, cautiously awaiting the enemy’s attack.

As soon as you approach the triple wall, hundreds of arrows will rain down like a shower.

Thud thud.

At that moment, Lian slowly walked out from among the Arrowhead unit members.

“……hmm?”

The moment he saw Lian, Sangkeulen’s forehead wrinkled slightly.

Because it felt like something was different than a few days ago.

‘Is it because I’m in a bad mood…?’

It cannot be said that the momentum has changed.

What should I say… … It’s like the person himself has become calm?

“Are you ready?”

“yes.”

Lian nodded at Seyla’s question.

Everyone was looking at themselves, and this war began with Lian.

“Phew…….”

Lian took a small breath and picked up the bow.

The soldiers tilted their heads at the sight and began to mutter something one by one.

“Isn’t that guy Captain Arrowhead?”

“Why is the centipede just walking forward by itself?”

“……What are you trying to do?”

The soldiers under General Sangklen’s command frowned as they watched Lian walk forward alone.

It is well known that the Arrowhead Unit’s reputation has been growing for some time now.

It’s a given.

Because what they accomplished was actually close to impossible.

But most people thought it was just a terrible stroke of luck.

It would have been impossible if luck hadn’t been on my side.

While some recognize the Arrowhead Unit, most feel jealousy and suspicion.

In that situation, the commander of that unit was walking alone in front of the ten thousand strong army.

What on earth did you prepare to walk out so confidently?

And at that moment,

Suaaaah!

“……!”

The soldiers who were looking at Lian flinched.

“……uh?”

“Hey, what does this feel like?”

“Mom, my body is shaking… why is it like this all of a sudden…?”

The soldiers close to Lian felt as if something was pressing down on their shoulders, along with the feeling of the surrounding temperature dropping.

At the same time, Sangkeulen’s eyes, who was sitting on the horse, shook greatly.

No, not only Sangkleun, but also a few of the unit members including Isaac looked at Lian with surprised expressions.

This energy flowing out of Lian’s body.

“What the hell am I looking at?”

“Hahaha, how unbelievable.”

Sangklen had heard many stories about the Arrowhead Unit.

A unit that did many things that are hard to believe just from stories.

That’s why I thought there were some parts that were a bit exaggerated.

That changed when they returned after liberating the prisoners of Khaizal.

It is a successful operation that would normally be absolutely impossible.

So, to some extent, I had no choice but to acknowledge them. However,

“Isn’t this… a different story?”

A situation where you can’t believe it even though you’re seeing it with your own two eyes.

Sangkeulen muttered quietly, unable to hide his surprised expression.
