◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (148)

Deventolia, which was thought to be difficult to conquer, fell.

It all started with one arrow shot by Lian, and it completely changed the course of the war.

Of course, because of that incident, Lian’s bow was broken and he was left in a fragile state, but Sangklen’s army was able to advance another step without suffering major damage.

“He is truly a great man.”

“It is the blessing of the kingdom.”

Sangkeulen and Seila, who had gathered to discuss the next route, could not help but naturally bring up Lian’s story.

Because I never expected that I would be able to obtain Deventolia so easily.

“The three walls that protected them actually worked as poison. If it weren’t for that, the guys would have defended themselves more firmly.”

“I can’t deny it.”

Seyla was right.

As a result, Deventeria was captured without much damage, but it was also the result of their own carelessness.

Since they had no siege weapons, they would never have expected the walls to collapse.

Sangkleen asked Seyla with a serious expression.

“Did you know?”

“I didn’t know about Lian. And he too…… said that he has not yet reached the level of a Master.”

Master.

It can be said to be the dream realm that everyone aspires to reach.

Currently, there is a being in the Artian Kingdom who can be considered a master.

Representative examples include Duke Gaiel Pitt and Count Gilbert Regalpona.

Sangkeulen knows both of them well.

Those who have transcended human categories and entered the realm of superhumans.

Each of them has powers greater than a thousand soldiers, and can accomplish things that are unimaginable by common sense.

Just like Lian showed us this time.

“But as far as I know, it is more difficult to operate the bow and arrow.”

“That’s what’s known. That’s why I think he’s more amazing.”

“And you said Isaac Pitt? The disciple of Duke Gaiel.”

“That’s also incredible. In fact, it’s ridiculous that those two are in the same unit.”

A mere thousand-man army.

There are two people there who are comparable to masters.

If we were to judge by force alone, each person would have to lead at least five thousand troops.

‘The power structure within the kingdom will change after this war.’

Perhaps this is the natural course of the times.

Sangklenn nodded and began discussing future operations with Seyla.

That was when.

“Yes, General Sangklen!”

“……hmm?”

It was quite late.

Sangkeulen’s head turned at the urgent voice coming from outside the conference room.

“Come in.”

With permission, the door opened and a soldier approached Sangklen urgently.

Holding a blood-stained scroll.

“……?”

In that moment, Sangkeulen’s expression hardened.

In a somewhat serious atmosphere, Seyla snatched the scroll from the soldier’s hand and checked its contents.

“T, this can’t be happening……!”

Seyla’s eyes shook violently.

What is written in the letter.

It means that General Targon’s force, which was supposed to have advanced from the north and met at the next battle site, was annihilated.

Of the 15,000 soldiers, only 3,000 survived.

The story was that General Targon was killed in action, and his adjutant, Baron Biovan, was badly injured and barely managed to survive.

“Oh, how on earth did this happen…?”

Sangkeulen’s eyes turned menacing.

“Where is the man who brought this letter?”

“I’m currently receiving treatment. I think I was attacked by enemies on my way here.”

“I will go myself.”

Sangklein got up from his seat and headed towards the messenger who had brought the letter.

The soldier had been shot twice with arrows in his back and had a rather long gash on his thigh.

He was sitting in his seat, receiving emergency treatment from the medical ward.

“Loyalty-!”

“Just sit there.”

The messenger, who had been sitting while the other soldiers saluted, quickly moved to get up.

But Sangkeulen shook his head and said, holding out the letter he had brought.

“What happened? Explain in detail.”

“That is…….”

The messenger began to explain what he knew about what had happened.

It was an advance without any particular problems.

It was an army of 15,000 men, and General Targon was a warrior with outstanding skills and strategies.

“But… when he showed up, the situation completely changed.”

“that?”

“Marcel showed up leading his soldiers.”

Marcel Calpentra.

He is a warrior whose fame is counted among the top five in the Kingdom of Meladion.

A general who possesses the same level of power as a high-level Aura user, but also has the experience of being a veteran from many battlefields.

Although he was only a little over forty years old, he was still one of the top three most dangerous people in the Kingdom of Meladion.

The moment Marcel’s name was mentioned, Sangkleen and Seyla’s expressions hardened seriously.

‘Marcel… … .’

Seyla’s mind was moving in a complicated way.

This is what the Kingdom of Meladion did to fundamentally block the synergy that would result when Targon’s forces merged with Sangklen’s forces.

However, I did not expect Marcel to move to the outskirts of the kingdom and fight.

“Where are their troops?”

“I couldn’t figure out the exact movement.”

Seila clicked her tongue at the messenger’s words.

If they are not careful, there is a risk that they will be surrounded from the front and back.

“We must send a messenger to the home country. If we do not receive support here, we will be completely surrounded.”

“Assemble all executives immediately and hold an emergency meeting.”

Sangkeulen said, looking at the other adjutant next to him.

At those words, the adjutant immediately turned around and was about to leave the infirmary.

“Oh, and call Captain Arrowhead as well.”

“All right.”

As soon as the adjutant left, Sangkeulen also stood up from his seat.

It seemed like the guys were responding faster than I thought. No, maybe… … .

‘They may have already caught up with us.’

Sangkleen and Seyla hurried to the conference room.

* * *

bang!

Have you ever expressed your emotions like this?

The ministers kept their mouths shut as they watched Ethan slam down the chair handle.

A cold silence fell heavily on the conference room, and Ethan looked at them and spoke softly.

“Are you saying that only three thousand soldiers returned alive……?”

“Even so, it seems that nearly half of them are injured and will need treatment.”

“Hmm…….”

A deep furrow formed between Ethan’s eyebrows.

It’s not at a level where you can try to train.

Besides, hasn’t the situation already occurred?

“How far did General Sangklen’s troops advance?”

“They’re probably fighting in Deventeria right now. It won’t be easy to get over the huge wall that’s the symbol of Deventeria.”

“Huh…… In that case, we should hurry and end the battle. If the battle drags on, wouldn’t the army led by Marcel be able to join Deventolia?”

“that…….”

The atmosphere in the conference room became heavy again.

Because what Ethan had just said was the worst possible situation for the Kingdom of Artian.

‘The greatest general the Kingdom of Meladion has entered Deventolia… … .’

If that happens, it will be virtually impossible for the current General Sangklen to break through those forces.

No, even if you get through it, the next problem is what happens next.

No matter how quickly we send reinforcements, they won’t be able to arrive faster than the reinforcements sent from the Kingdom of Meladion.

“It seems important to dispatch troops that can be sent quickly. If we are not careful, General Sangklen’s army could end up isolated in the Kingdom of Meladion.”

“Or how about just sending them back? Send them back, see how much they’ve lost, and then go back again…….”

“That won’t work.”

Then a middle-aged man cut me off firmly.

He was a man with brown hair that fell in waves to his shoulders and a thick mustache.

It was Hertel, the Minister of the Marshal’s Office of the Kingdom of Artian.

He looked at Ethan with a stern expression and said.

“Withdrawing our forces now will give the Kingdom of Meladion time and space to prepare for war. If that happens, the war with the Kingdom of Meladion will continue for quite some time to come.”

If that happens, the Artian Kingdom will inevitably feel pressured as time passes.

Unlike the Kingdom of Meladion, the Kingdom of Artian must also consider engaging in a war with the Kingdom of Baroque, which borders its eastern border, in the next three years.

If it is resolved amicably, then that would be fine, but judging by the way the atmosphere is flowing, it seems that the Baroque Kingdom is also looking forward to three years later.

“In order to completely suppress the Meladion Kingdom within three years, we must seize this opportunity.”

“But isn’t the situation too difficult for that? General Targon is dead, and over ten thousand soldiers have died. What can we do in a situation like this?”

“……We have to find a way.”

I know there’s no immediate solution.

I also know that the situation is unfavorable and difficult. But that doesn’t mean I can withdraw my troops.

“…….”

Silence fell in the conference room.

Because there was no way to resolve this situation right away. Ethan, who had been thinking, turned his head away.

“Can you go?”

“majesty!”

“That won’t work!”

The ministers present tried to dissuade Ethan from speaking.

The person Ethan is looking at.

Because Gilbert was standing right next to him.

One of the pillars supporting the Artian Kingdom as a Sword Master.

But now, aren’t you the king’s direct bodyguard?

How can the king’s knights move when the king is gone?

Ethan spoke with a firm expression as if he had made up his mind in response to the opposition of the ministers.

“Then I will go myself.”

“……!”

“Your Majesty!”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became lively.

The buttocks of the ministers who were sitting in such an absurd situation shook.

But it is true that there is no way.

A whopping 15,000 troops were defeated.

There is currently no one to lead the force as they move to the Kingdom of Meladion.

Even if we were to call in the other generals in a hurry, there would be no time to spare. What’s more, isn’t the current situation so pressing that it could be called a race against time?

“I have no intention of changing my mind.”

Ethan looked at Hertel.

“Sir Hertel, gather all the troops that can move immediately and send a messenger to Deventeria. We will depart as soon as we are ready.”

“……All right.”

If you show such a strong attitude, there is nothing we can do.

Because everyone knows that he is not the type of person to be talked down to.

Ethan spoke to those present.

“We must hurry, because even at this moment, our allies are still fighting in danger.”

“yes-!”

The king’s departure.

This directly showed that this war was important to the Artian Kingdom as well.

And at the same time.

“……Deventeria has fallen?”

A man couldn’t hide his surprise at the unbelievable telegram.

This is because no one could have predicted that Deventolia, which had always been able to block the enemy’s advance with its triple walls, would fall so quickly.

The adjutant in front of the man bowed his head.

“I’m sorry.”

“You have nothing to apologize for.”

The man looked at the view down the hill.

A beautiful, expansive landscape of mountains and fields.

Isn’t it your job to protect this land?

“Then I guess I have to hurry even more.”

The man with the helmet pulled down turned his gaze and looked behind him.

Five thousand soldiers.

He looked at them and spoke softly.

“Advance, heroes.”

Destroy the enemies who invaded our land.

Meladion’s hero, Marcel Calfentra, began moving to Deventeria.
