The detachment that raided Tess’s unit retreated before achieving a special victory.
Two days after that.
“It’s urgent! In the northwest area, 20 million demon troops are moving south!”
“report! 40 million tragic
news pouring from the northern mountains.
Iruki watched the entire demon army move simultaneously on the 3D strategic map.
‘It’s an all-out war.’
Check the enemy’s reaction through a raid two days ago and plan a perfect route using crowd aircraft.
It was going to swallow up the central continent.
‘So far so good.’
From the perspective of Iruki, who fights with the determination of mutual destruction, it was important to attract the enemy.
‘The problem is time.’
At least 10 more days were needed before the elemental bomb could be deployed in action.
‘Overdrive.’ As electricity sparked in Iruki’s eyes, thoughts began to unfold at superhuman speed.
‘You can earn 12 hours this way.’ As numerous strategies went through the process of combining and discarding, ways to buy time emerged.
‘It’s been about 48 hours so far… Aromi, the attendant’s assistant, bit her lip as she looked bleeding from her nose.
‘It would be an accident that transcends human logic.’
Only Iruki can do this.
The more this happens, the more rapidly the durability of the brain decreases, but the person concerned did not care.
‘I earned 4 days. But it’s still not enough.’
We had to find a way to prevent the demon army from reaching Tormia for at least the next six days.
‘This is it! 5 days with this! Then…’
Iruki was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn’t realize that his eyes were bleeding.
Ten minutes later, Iruki opened his eyes and collapsed, vomiting blood.
“Commander General!”
Aromi rushed over with a towel and wiped away the blood, but Iruki stopped her and stood up.
“Please reorganize the strategic map.” As the commanders unfolded a new strategic map, Iruki frantically walked around and moved the troops.
Everyone who saw the results he produced trembled with astonishment.
“This way…
Iruki raised his hand and stopped.
“7 days until now.”
The commanders swallowed their saliva.
“The deployment you see now will be exactly the 7th day of deployment. “This is the limit of normal methods.”
“Then, if it is an abnormal method
…’?”
Iruki’s face was distorted in pain.
“The method of earning the remaining three days is very extreme. In fact, you might think so too.”
Everyone looked at the map again, and the faces of some quick-thinking people turned pale.
“No way…
Iruki has moved a large army.
“Deploy all nearby troops to the Canian Plateau. “I can be stranded here for three days.”
In other words.
“But Commander-in-Chief, the Khanian Plateau is an unfavorable terrain for humans. So until now…
The commander realized and kept his mouth shut.
“yes. It’s going to be a tough fight. The estimated damage is at least 200,000 people. But if we don’t stop it here, the seven days we normally earn have no meaning.”
If this is a strategy that came from Iruki’s head, it should be seen as the only way.
‘The most difficult thing is Commander-in-Chief.’
Iruki elaborated.
“I think it’s a bad strategy. No one wants to fight at a disadvantage. But if we don’t stop it here, humanity will be annihilated by the demons
.”
“…How about deciding by voting?”
It was not a vote against.
“no. There is no voting. The fewer people you have to take responsibility for, the better. “That must be the position of the general military.”
“But…
it’s not Iruki’s fault.
If there was a better way, I would have found it even if it meant burning my brain right away.
“Nothing will change. Just because you have to fight a more difficult battle doesn’t mean it’s not a war. “We will devise the best strategy based on the assumption that we will earn three days
.”
Iruki then wiped his face with a towel.
“There will be a detailed strategy meeting in 30 minutes. Please forward this to each department.”
Iruki needed rest.
After all the commanders left, Aromi, who was the only one left, spoke.
“I think we should vote.” Iruki just smiled.
“No one thinks this is an arbitrary decision. Your thoughts are the thoughts of humanity. “You don’t have to handle it alone.”
If I can’t think as well as Iruki, I want to at least share the responsibility.
“It is not a weight that can be lightened by sharing it. And… because there are also criticisms that I have to take personal responsibility for.”
“What do you mean?”
Iruki looked at the map.
‘ sorry.’
Although it was only a model of the terrain, I could see a fight somewhere in the terrain.
“I take full responsibility. Instead…
Iruki opened his mouth heavily.
“Can I request a personnel transfer of one person
?” 2nd Legion subordinate wizard corps.
Corps Commander Garcia personally stepped forward in response to a hasty order from Valkyrie Headquarters.
All executives above the battalion commander gathered and Amy took her seat in the last row.
“Over the next seven days, the 2nd Corps will rapidly march to the Khanian Plateau. “You can skip minor engagements.”
The pens of the commanders who were taking notes suddenly stopped.
“Do you mean the Canian Plateau?”
“I said that a little while ago. Not concentrating? And you are still the brigade commander?”
“sorry! However, the Canian Plateau was not under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Corps, nor was it strategically… The
brigade commander, reading the life in Garcia’s eyes, closed his mouth and straightened his upper body.
There was a cold silence.
“…What do you want to say?”
“no! “I will correct it!”
The military discipline was solemn, but the same thoughts were flowing through the heads of the officers.
‘It’s the jinn of drainage.’
Although it was impossible to accurately read the command’s intentions on the spot, this one thing was certain.
‘You need a life to replace it. A lot of that too.’
Amy wasn’t afraid.
‘Iruki is not one who will easily sacrifice his allies. If you think the opposite way, there is a chance for a reversal.’
A strategy has emerged that will help humanity win.
“I know what you’re thinking.” Garcia said.
“Soldiers do not only fight winning wars. A mercenary. For a soldier, life is another form of combat power. I’m not going to die. Going to fight “If there is anyone who cannot tolerate this, please speak up now.” No one raised their hands.
“Give orders to each unit. After lunch, they immediately form a large formation. Don’t miss it. “It’s a rapid march.”
“yes!”
As the executives left in groups of ten, Garcia looked back at Amy.
“Commander of the 6th Battalion of the Magic Unit.”
“yes! Lieutenant Colonel Karmis Amy!”
“You will stay for a moment.”
Even among priests, it was unusual for them to request a private meeting at a military conference.
“All right!”
As there was no word even after everyone left, Amy, who was sitting in the last seat, turned her head.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“Well, there was a request for a personnel transfer for you from the higher-ups. When you go back to your generation, pack your bags.”
“yes? “Personnel transfer?”
Garcia nodded.
“As of this time, you are not part of the magic unit, but of the Tormia Capital Defense Command. “The space movement magic circle has been approved, so jump and go to Vasuka.”
‘Tormia?’
Amy blinked for a moment before slamming the table in a rapidly rising sense of shame.
“What are you saying now?”
It was not something she could do in front of a corps commander, but Garcia understood her.
“All units are leaving for dangerous missions, so why was I the only one sent to the rear? “What is the reason?”
“The contents of the top are as follows. Karmis Amy’s ability to teach troops was highly praised…
“Master!”
Amy screamed loudly.
Garcia spoke in a lower voice than before.
“Let me see if there is anyone among the great ones in the temple who does not want you to die.”
Amy remembered one person.
‘Iruki!’
My teeth chattered.
“I can’t admit it! “Removing troops to the rear like this is a privilege and an excess of authority!”
“Maybe so, maybe not.” Garcia turned his hand over.
“It doesn’t matter. You are a talented person. “You can easily decide that you don’t want to waste it like this.”
“But why me! “There are many people in the 2nd Corps who are better than me!”
“Those of you who have spoken to me… don’t you know the answer?
“I protest! I won’t leave! “I will march with the 6th Battalion!”
“I don’t allow that.” Garcia said with cold eyes.
“Orders do not distinguish between life and death. Just as a soldier follows orders to die, it is the same this time as well. “It is unacceptable for a single battalion commander to go against the chain of command.”
“Master. Are you telling me to be a coward? What do you say to your subordinates? “I’m going to run away, so should I tell you to run hard toward the grave?”
“That too is your responsibility. All I want to say is that you should quickly return to Bashka. “It’s an order.”
Amy, who was shaking with her fists clenched, quickly turned around.
“I will be back.”
Garcia was speechless.
When the crew was eating lunch, Amy came outside with her backpack on her shoulder.
Although they didn’t show it outwardly, their gaze hurt Amy more than an arrow.
The subordinates put down the silverware and saluted.
“Are you leaving now?”
“I’m not leaving, I’m just going to Tormia for a while because I have some business to do. “I’ll be back soon, so take good care of your unit.”
The subordinates smiled, but no one thought they were sincere.
“Do not worry. “I learned something from the battalion commander, and I think I will be able to do well.”
I brought this up because I heard that he had been transferred to the Capital Defense Command as a training officer.
“okay. request.”
Amy also turned away without making excuses because she wanted to show it with actions, not words.
As I was leaving the unit, I heard the voices of soldiers.
“Did you hear? I heard that officer was the only one in the corps deployed to the rear? “That too is an education officer.”
“Tsk! Some people will go out on a limb, while others will just hang out in a comfortable place and flirt with young guys. This is why people need to have a strong background.”
It was now an open secret that Oh Dae-seong of the Ivory Tower was Amy’s lover.
“Honestly, I don’t understand. Do you know how cruel demons are? Besides
, it’s a battle with almost no chance of winning, so would you want to send your lover away?”
“Who said anything? If that’s the case, why not jump into the battlefield from the beginning? “It goes from one way to another until the morale goes down.”
Amy’s face turned red uncontrollably as she listened to them.
‘Iruki, you bastard!’
The reason Amy obediently left the unit was not simply because she received orders.
‘I sincerely hope it’s not you.’ It wasn’t a situation where I could say for sure that it was Iruki.
‘But if it were you, you would have to do whatever it took to convince me. If that’s not possible…
Amy’s face burned red.
‘Because you will clearly understand what the bottom line is.’
The duration of the rapid march was 7 days.
To rejoin the unit, Amy quickly ran towards the space movement magic circle.
