◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (149)

The meeting in Deventeria lasted until dawn.

This is because opinions cannot be unified easily.

“……Phew, let’s rest a bit first and then do it again.”

“All right.”

Seila nodded at Sangklenn’s words. Then, the three thousand level executives who had attended the meeting stood up.

“Are you okay?”

Seyla looked at Lian, the only celestial being present at the meeting, and asked.

In response to her question, Lian looked at Seyla and smiled bitterly.

“You must be having a hard time.”

“Haha, I never thought I’d hear something like that from you.”

But, as Lian said, Ceyla was quite tired.

This was because, as the opinions of the Sangklen and the Samcheoninjang-level executives were at odds, he was unable to come up with a wise answer as a strategist.

Lian walked with Seila towards the broken walls of Deventeria.

This allowed for a quick takeover of Deventolia, but what happened next was a problem.

“If we go back now, it will be quite difficult for the kingdom.”

“Is it because of the Baroque Kingdom?”

“That’s right. I don’t know what the Baroque Kingdom will do in three years, but given the current atmosphere, it’s likely they’ll confront us.”

Lian also agreed with Seyla’s words.

Although we did manage to create a non-aggression pact with the Baroque Kingdom through Parcontium, we were able to directly feel the atmosphere that would be created there after the three years they had proposed.

‘It was clearly meant to buy time to prepare for war.’

Rather, the three-year non-aggression pact gave the Baroque kingdom time to prepare for war without any restraint.

“But if we were to retreat from here now… the Kingdom of Meladion would lock down its borders and prepare for war. Then, there is no guarantee as to how long the war with them will last.”

Because the Artian Kingdom is at a great geographical disadvantage, the choice it makes now is bound to be important.

Since Lian also knows this fact well, he understands Seila’s suffering even more.

“Then, if we know where the enemy’s forces are moving now, wouldn’t it be easier to respond?”

“That’s why we’ve already sent out a reconnaissance party. Marcel’s unit moving is a significant event for us as well.”

Marcel Calpentra.

Although he had never actually seen it, Lian had heard the name quite a few times.

In his past life, Marcel was one of the generals representing Meladion.

Because of this, the Artian Kingdom suffered many bitter defeats. It was also a monster among monsters that destroyed the Baroque Kingdom’s army that came by ship.

‘… … What if it were now?’

What would be the result if the current Arrowhead force and Marcel’s force fought?

Lian took pride in the Arrowhead Unit himself.

Even though we are only a thousand-man force, we can win against any force.

Lian bit her lip as she thought about Marcel. At that moment,

“Hold on tight.”

“……yes?”

Lian’s eyes widened at Seyla’s sudden words.

Saila said to Lian.

“You weren’t thinking of fighting Marcel’s unit?”

“……Have you learned mind reading?”

Seila smiled and chuckled at Lian’s words.

Unlike her tense expression in the conference room, Ceyla now seemed to have found some peace of mind.

Seila tapped Ryan on the shoulder.

“What Arrowhead has done for you is enough. There is no need to take risks.”

For us, Arrowhead is a card we absolutely cannot afford to lose.

Cela turned around, swallowing her words.

First, we must wait until the scout party returns.

‘There must already be some movement in the kingdom.’

The current situation where there is no information is like walking through a forest full of darkness.

If you move clumsily, you may trip over a hole or a tree trunk and fall.

“I need to ventilate that conflicting atmosphere.”

Even though there was no battle going on, Seyla had more work to do.

* * *

Phew-!

The sword dug in with a sound of flesh being torn, and the floor turned red with blood.

“Enemy scouts.”

“I missed a few.”

Marcel saw the scouts of the Artian Kingdom killed by his subordinates.

We killed about a dozen soldiers, but missed about half of them.

A small group of less than thirty people moved.

The intention seemed to be to maximize mobility.

“Shall I chase after you?”

If we chase them now, we’ll be able to kill all the remaining guys.

But Marcel shook his head.

“Let it be, there’s nothing they can notice anyway.”

Then he glanced at the unit members and spoke to the adjutant in front of him.

“Felix, I will give you two hundred cavalry. Ride straight south and return when the enemy scouts have completely left.”

“Should we prepare to move the main force as well?”

“No, the main force will rest here as much as possible and then move slowly. Right now, it’s important to build up strength until the next battle.”

It is important to slowly but surely close the distance behind the guys and suffocate them.

Felix pursed his lips and took a long breath through his nose.

“Hmm… Will they be fooled?”

The order to move using cavalry would be to inject false information to enemy reconnaissance units that they are moving.

In some ways, I thought it was a very obvious operation.

Marcel shook his head at Felix’s words.

“It doesn’t matter whether they’re fooled or not. Either way, they haven’t found out anything. It’s enough to just leave one thing for them to doubt.”

There is nothing more frightening than being isolated behind enemy lines and having no reliable information.

Because I can’t decide whether to move forward or retreat.

So just throwing in one more piece of new information like they’re moving as fast as they are now can cause a lot of confusion for them.

“If the guys retreat, that’s a good thing in its own right.”

If that happens, we can prepare for war in a stable manner after those guys retreat.

Felix asked Marcel.

“But what do you plan to do if those guys keep advancing?”

“If those guys advance…….”

A sharp light flashed in Marcel’s eyes as his speech was blurred.

Felix, who was looking at Marcel, felt as if the hairs on his body stood on end for a moment.

Marcel seemed not to care about Felix’s reaction and spoke firmly.

“Artian will suffer irreparable damage from this war.”

Artian has already lost more than ten thousand troops. If he receives a similar level of damage in succession… … .

“An unprecedented event in history could occur where the territory of the Kingdom of Meladion doubles.”

May their confidence soar through the roof.

Marcel smiled leisurely as he looked in the direction where the enemy scouts had fled.

* * *

“Going north.”

The decision of the Sangklen has been made.

Rather than continuing to delay like this, I thought it would be the right decision to quickly head north towards the capital of the Kingdom of Meladion.

Of course, there was a reason for making this decision.

This is because a messenger arrived from the capital saying that troops were moving.

But the atmosphere was not good.

“Wouldn’t it be better to wait here a little longer and then move?”

“They say they are moving troops within the kingdom, but considering the time it takes to prepare and get here, it will take at least two weeks.”

Judging from the current situation, it seems like it will take a long time for reinforcements to arrive.

But who moves first?

In that case, we should see a gap of almost three weeks, not two weeks.

“If we are attacked from the front and rear by enemies in that situation, there is a risk of total annihilation.”

“That’s right, if you wait for reinforcements for about a week and then leave…….”

bang!

At the words of his adjutants, Sangkeulen slammed the desk.

Before he knew it, a hint of anger had appeared on his face.

Sangkeulen said as he looked at the executives.

“Do you know how many days I’ve wasted here? When we gain momentum, we need to quickly move north and pressure those guys. If we just get past the next area, isn’t the capital city right in front of us?”

It cannot be said that Sangkeulen’s words are wrong.

In war, momentum plays a significant role.

When we advance with such momentum as we are now, our enemies cannot help but feel intimidated and fearful.

Moreover, didn’t they capture Deventolia in an instant, even though they thought it would take quite a while?

If you move quickly, you can attack before the enemy’s defenses are fully developed.

Ceyla kept her cool even in divisive situations.

Besides, I know Sangkeulen’s personality well.

‘I’ve already made my decision.’

If so, any further conflict will only bring confusion to the unit.

Sailor said as she looked at the three thousand executives.

“Do as General Sangklen says. Reorganize your troops immediately and prepare to move north.”

“Three, Lady Seyla!”

“……All right.”

Since even Seyla expressed the same opinion, they had no reason to dissuade her.

In this situation, if I had said one more word, I would have been beheaded for disobeying orders, and there would have been no excuse.

As they hurriedly moved to move their troops, Seila also started walking somewhere.

A strategy that came to her mind when she decided to head north like Sangklen had decided.

“Rian.”

“……Why are you doing that?”

Lian looked surprised as she saw Seyla’s expression looking at her.

Because, unlike usual, his expression was quite urgent and serious.

Saila said to Lian.

“I have a favor to ask of you.”

“……I will follow orders.”

Lian immediately corrected her posture and answered.

I don’t know what it is, but it seems like it would be a very important operation in this war.

Saila said in response to Lian.

“The main force will head straight north and advance towards the capital of the Kingdom of Meladion. However, Arrowhead’s forces will not be going with them.”

“Then where are you going?”

“Block Marcel’s unit that is targeting the rear of the main force.”

The most difficult thing in the current northward movement is the Ohcheon unit led by Marcel.

If you are attacking the enemy’s castle while moving north, and they continue to attack, you will end up in a formation that is being eaten up from the front and rear.

“I know it’s difficult… but I have to do it now.”

Asking Arrowhead’s force of a mere one thousand men to stop Marcel’s force of five thousand men is an excessive order.

Sailor knows too.

However, since Sangklen has decided to go north, it is a task that must be done.

At Seyla’s words, Lian shut her mouth tightly with a stern expression. And then,

“……All right.”

“You don’t have to confront them head-on, just keep them at bay so they don’t approach.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll stop it somehow.”

“thanks.”

Saila answered and continued speaking to Lian.

“I will write down the enemy’s expected movement path and detailed operations separately in a letter. Aside from the big picture, I will leave all judgments on the spot to you.”

“yes!”

That was the end of the conversation.

Lian walked straight towards where the Arrowhead Unit members were.

And Ceyla just looked at Lian, who was walking away, with an indifferent expression, trying hard to hide her regret.

* * *

There has never been an easy road for Arrowhead. Not ever.

Lian, who was looking at the map with the deputy captains, frowned.

Because there was no detailed map of the Kingdom of Meladion.

“Looking at the map as it is now seems pointless.”

“We have no choice but to check as we move.”

Lian folded the map, which only showed the general terrain, and looked at the deputy commanders.

Isaac said to Lian.

“Is the unit that can engage from the rear the unit of that guy called Marcel?”

“okay.”

A monster that defeated an army of fifteen thousand men with five thousand men.

It is Arrowhead’s job to monitor the movements of such monsters and defend the rear of the main force.

Lian asked Isaac.

“Are you scared?”

“No way.”

Isaac said, raising the corners of his lips slightly.

“Arrowhead is invincible.”

Although it is still a thousand-man army, it will soon become a three-thousand-man army, and later a five-thousand-man army, and then a ten-thousand-man army.

A unit destined to win the title of the continent’s strongest could not possibly hesitate in a place like this.

Lian looked at the three people with a cold, settled expression.

‘Marcel… … .’

Perhaps the strongest opponent Arrowhead has ever faced.

But that doesn’t mean I’ll hesitate.

No matter what the enemy, we can break through. That’s because we’re Arrowhead.

At Lian’s gaze, Raymond, Varus, and Isaac all nodded with the same thought.
