◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (91)

“In such a short period of time, something so absurd could happen…?”

“……It is said that all of the Keren faction operating outside of Borreol were also captured.”

bang!

“So what were we doing until then! We were just sucking our thumbs while all those guys were running around together!”

Black Ogre’s Sechster couldn’t hide his anger.

For in just over two weeks, out of the dozen or so bandits that had been in Borreol, only two remained, including themselves.

Even so, they were not able to properly assert their voice because they were the first to be hit.

‘Stupid Rialkan… …!’

After Rialkan went out with a hundred men, he disappeared.

No, he was caught and taken to the kingdom.

If that happens, I will probably be taken to a work camp somewhere in the north and forced to work until I die.

Ugh!

Sechster clenched his teeth.

I don’t know where it all went wrong, but… … .

“It might actually be a good thing.”

“……what?”

At the words of the second-in-command Rolf, a deep wrinkle formed between Sechster’s eyebrows.

The ominous look in his eyes seemed to warn that if he said the wrong thing, he would be in big trouble.

Rolf continued speaking, looking at Sechster.

“Wasn’t that too much?”

“What are you talking about?”

“They’re doing the same thing in this small piece of land. They acknowledged us because of the unnecessary conflict, but honestly, isn’t it true that as they increase in number, we have less to eat?”

“Hmm?”

Another captain, Jekaline, sitting across from Rolf, looked interested.

“But wouldn’t it have been easier to receive bribes from those guys?”

“Fuck, it’s not that comfortable. It’s just boring. The old way of killing people by poking them hard is almost gone!”

Rolf said, frowning.

Although Rolf was usually not good at controlling his emotions and was quite violent, what he was saying now made a lot of sense.

Sechter also remained silent and nodded his head in response to Rolf’s words.

“Hmm… So, is it better to just go back to the way it was before?”

“Rather than saying it’s better, I’m saying there is a way. But even if it’s like that, it’s not like the leader needs to step up, right?”

Rolf was not particularly pleased with the current situation where he had to restrain himself from killing.

Thanks to the other thieves who were dissatisfied with the bribes, I am enjoying the taste of it.

“Let’s take this opportunity to clean up and start anew. This is a situation where a crisis can actually become an opportunity.”

“I also agree with Captain Rolf this time.”

Even Jekalin, who usually expresses her opinions calmly, agrees, so it is a situation where I cannot just reject it.

Sechster let out a small breath and clenched and unclenched his fist repeatedly.

It was a habit that came out whenever he was worried.

And then, after gathering his thoughts, Zexter asked Jekalin.

“Can you find them?”

“Is there really a need to look for them? They’ll get there first anyway.”

At Jekalin’s words, Sechster sighed softly and nodded.

“I don’t like it, but… I guess I’ll have to do it.”

It’s a situation where the brakes seem to have been applied, but as Rolf said, a crisis can also be an opportunity.

First, absorb one of the remaining bandits to make up for the lost troops.

And when those motherfuckers run wild without even knowing the topic… … .

“Okay, let’s go back to the beginning here again.”

It may be a little early, but it’s not a bad time to change the water.

The two captains smiled faintly at Sechster’s words.

Now the real war has begun.

Wheeing-.

It was a barren field with nothing in it, but the trees standing here and there seemed to fill the empty space.

It’s been several weeks since I’ve been moving around like this.

Each time, they made a makeshift tent out of wood and cloth to protect themselves from the wind and rain, but the situation was so difficult that they were forced to live almost like homeless people.

Nevertheless, Lian comforted those who were holding on well and climbed up a tall tree nearby.

Although the reconnaissance team was able to monitor the movements of the remaining bandits, they were always monitoring the surroundings like this in case of any danger.

At that moment, someone’s voice was heard from below.

“Lord Lian!”

It was Herilda.

When Lian looked down, Herilda tilted her head back and looked at Lian.

When Lian tilted her head, Herilda motioned for her to come down.

Lian, who went straight down, asked her.

“what’s the matter?”

“Come and rest. If you keep doing this, you’ll collapse.”

Lian smiled slightly at Herilda’s words.

The only one who comes every time and worries is Herilda.

Of course, other people also care a lot about Lian, but it seems that there are still parts of her that are difficult to approach.

Herilda said to Lian.

“You haven’t been able to sleep much lately. What if you collapse when you have to fight for real?”

Certainly, Lian has hardly slept in the past few days.

At night, they would raid and fight against nearby bandits, and during the day, they would move with people and keep watch over the surroundings from the trees for their rest.

But Lian shook her head and looked in the direction where the people were.

“It’ll be harder for them than for me. It’ll be an unfamiliar journey.”

I have been living a life similar to homelessness for several weeks, constantly moving because it can be dangerous to stay in one place.

Herilda shook her head.

“Isn’t that right?”

“……?”

Looking at Lian, who had a puzzled expression, Herilda turned her gaze to where the people were.

Harilda said, a small smile appearing on her lips.

“I’m the happiest I’ve been in all the years I’ve been here.”

These people had no choice but to come to the neutral zone as if they were being pushed out of their homes.

They came here to escape hell and live a slightly better life, but this place was also like hell to them.

There are thieves who come every day and wild animals who occasionally attack because they can’t handle their hunger.

For them, each day was a struggle to survive.

“And what was even sadder was that no matter what we did with our own strength, we could not escape this hell.”

Even if you enter the kingdom, it’s obvious that you’ll be torn to pieces by taxes.

“I think that the fact that people like us who live in poverty can do something on our own is meaningful in itself.”

“……Is that so.”

A thought suddenly occurred to me that that might be the case.

At Lian’s words, Herilda smiled and said.

“So we don’t think it’s hard now. Rather, like Lian said, we’re just curious about what changes will happen to us when this is over.”

“I think you’ve made up your mind.”

“Yes, it was really hard to understand at first.”

He said he would clean up this place within a month.

It wasn’t easy for Herilda to accept those words.

Moreover, on the outside, Lian just looked like a young man who had nothing.

But now that she has spent about two weeks with him, Herilda’s thoughts have completely changed.

I don’t know what unit he’s in, but I think he’s someone worth following, regardless of everything else.

“Now there are only two bandits left.”

“But the Black Ogres are the most dangerous of all the others combined.”

In the end, the destination is those guys.

The initial Black Ogre attack was prevented due to a number of overlapping reasons.

We have already figured out their movements, but they are moving very cautiously while massing their forces.

‘The guys are looking for us, and we’re looking for their gaps.’

That’s why we keep moving around within the neutral zone, which is not that big.

Because the priority is to somehow find their weaknesses.

at that time,

“Lord Lian!”

A man came running out of breath and called out to Lian.

I clearly remember him as the man who was sent as a reconnaissance team.

“What’s going on?”

“The Black Ogres are on the move.”

“Are you attacking this way?”

If so, they need to move quickly to another place. They need to move to a more advantageous position to fight the Black Ogres now.

He shook his head.

“Not this way… We are moving towards the place where the bandits we decided to target next are.”

“……!”

At those words, Herilda’s eyes shook slightly.

There must be only one reason why those guys who always kept to themselves moved in that direction.

“We have to stop them. If the Black Ogres’ forces increase, it will be very disadvantageous for us in battle.”

Herilda said.

It was clear that the reason she expected it was right, and it was obvious that the fight would be difficult after that.

However, a deep smile appeared on Lian’s lips at Herilda’s words.

‘Are you finally moving now?’

Honestly, Lian wished the guys had made their move sooner.

Rather, I was a little uneasy because the guys were crouching so much… … .

“He threw himself into the fire.”

“……yes?”

Herilda tilted her head in confusion at Lian’s incomprehensible words.

If we are not careful and their power grows, it could actually be dangerous.

But why is Lian smiling?

Lian then spoke to Herilda.

“Move those who cannot participate in the battle to the safe zone I mentioned before, and gather everyone who can fight.”

“What are you going to do?”

Lian said in response to Herilda’s question.

“Do you know why I never touched the Black Ogres from the beginning?”

“Of course it was because the guys were strong.”

The most powerful bandit group in the neutral zone of Borreol.

It’s not just the number of them that’s great, but the skills of the guys who are leaders or sub-leaders are also quite high.

Therefore, if you touch them before finishing cleaning up the surrounding area, you run the risk of being attacked later.

“So, wasn’t it about eliminating that risk factor first?”

“That’s half true, but it’s missing the biggest reason.”

“What is that?”

“Where the guys are.”

It was truly unfortunate that the geographical position occupied by the Black Ogres was extremely unfavorable for an attacker.

Of course, if you’re an Arrowhead unit member, you don’t have to worry about that kind of thing; you can just push it away.

But taking ordinary people who lack tactical or individual ability to fight a disadvantageous fight is just asking them to die together.

“It’s important to subdue them, but it’s more important to win without taking any casualties.”

It’s a fight where many unfavorable conditions come together.

That’s why Lian was very careful.

“If the thieves around them fall one by one, they will naturally become impatient.”

Actually, I wish it had already come out, but it would be better if it came out now.

‘I guess that means it looked easy.’

Would it have been the same if those dealing with them were regular soldiers?

I just thought, how strong would we be if a bunch of powerless peasants came together?

Lian said to Herilda.

“Now it’s time for the final fight you’ve been longing for.”

At Lian’s words, Herilda’s expression hardened with a serious expression.
