Bae Su-jin (4)
The 2nd Valkyrie Legion, which was positioned in various places, marched rapidly towards the Canian Plateau.
Morale was the worst.
“Tsk! Is this the result of a lifetime of training? “Becoming a meat shield for demons.”
“Didn’t you hear what the general said? Anyway, it’s war. “It’s not about being dragged away with your hands and feet tied, it’s about going to fight.”
“gibberish. Those who will survive will all survive. “You heard it too, Lieutenant Colonel of the Magic Corps.”
Personnel changes are common in the military, but in a situation like now that requires noble sacrifice, it is a powerful poison.
“I heard that he is acquainted with the top leadership. I wish. “Fight when you want to fight, and quit when you want to quit.”
“He said it was a woman. Well then, let’s see. How many people did that to save their lives…
Someone interrupted the conversation.
“Hey infantryman.”
The members of the 6th Battalion of the Wizards walking next to them were showing their fierceness.
“Watch your mouth. And then the jaws are torn apart.”
The infantrymen who checked the marks on their uniforms closed their mouths with displeased expressions.
‘Unlucky wizards.’
Even if the ranks were the same, the treatment that infantrymen and wizards received in the military was very different.
“Did I say something wrong?”
Normally, it would have stopped here, but the infantrymen were also very sensitive due to the stress of death.
“Why don’t you brag about using some magic. I would feel embarrassed if my superior ran away. Or what? “Did you also take a piece of cake from her?”
“what? The woman?”
Berik of the magic unit broke military law, left his line, and grabbed an infantryman by the neck.
“Say it again. “That woman?”
“Ugh! “Aren’t you going to let go of this?”
If we were in close contact, the infantry would have ways to respond, but I didn’t want to get in trouble with them.
“Go back you idiot. If you want to die, die alone. “Don’t get me involved for no reason.”
“why? “You talked so excitedly when you insulted the lieutenant colonel, but it looks like you don’t want to die either, right?”
The company commander’s voice fell like a thunderbolt.
“what’s the matter!”
The magic unit’s comrades stopped Beric and the infantrymen’s faces turned pale.
The infantry unit’s company commander confirmed that a magic unit soldier had left the procession.
“Are these crazy! War is a joke! You two are excluded! “I’ll have you beheaded by military law!”
Currently, all Valkyrie could rely on was military discipline, so the company commander had no mercy.
“Stop.”
Since all commanders must have had the same thought, the company commander turned his head away, unable to hide his anger.
“ah??????
Corps Commander Garcia was sitting on his horse.
“Loyalty? Loyalty!”
It was no coincidence that he stopped by the 6th Battalion while patrolling the unit along a long line.
‘This is how it happens.’
This was the reason why even with the authority of the Valkyrie general, saving just one person was all that was possible.
‘It would have been better if there were no exceptions
… but
what I realized while fighting numerous battles with demons is that the resourcefulness of the general military surpasses that of humans.
‘There must be a reason.’
There was no dissatisfaction with his decisions, whether it was personal feelings or the big picture of strategy.
“What is your position?”
Garcia asked Beric.
“Corporal Beric! I am the 3rd squad leader of the 6th Battalion! “My position is fire magic long-distance support and wide-area kills!”
“It is right to act to protect your superior’s honor. But you can’t get what you want by breaking military law.”
“sorry!”
Soldiers cannot speak for long, so they tend to shout with all their emotions in one word.
Garcia confirmed the look in Beric’s eyes that he would gladly accept any disposition.
“Return to heat. “If the same thing happens next time, I will behead you immediately.”
“yes!”
As Beric ran quickly to join the group, his colleagues who were watching sighed.
“Hey, are you crazy? Why do you do such a thing? “Don’t you know that the atmosphere in the unit is really bad right now?”
“It jumped out without me even realizing it. don’t worry. “I won’t make this mistake again.”
“You… really liked it, Battalion Commander?’’
I felt it from the moment I took the resolution from Amy, but I didn’t expect it to be this sincere.
“it’s okay. “It’s all in the past.”
Berik’s expression, which had been lost in thought, returned to that of a soldier.
“It’s better. It wasn’t someone I could protect, and Oh Dae-seong of Ivory Tower was her lover… It
was enough to think that their worlds were separate.
“engagement!”
A sound was heard from ahead.
“engagement! engagement!”
A report was delivered from the front of the procession, and all soldiers were ready for battle.
“What is happening all of a sudden?”
They were moving around, bypassing the demon troops as much as possible.
“45 degrees to the right!”
The moment the soldiers turned their heads to hear the instructions being given again, there was a loud bang and loud noises.
“Kiaaa!”
Demons came out all at once from the forest on a high hill and started running downhill.
“Magic unit! To the location!”
The number of demons was only a few hundred at most, and they were annihilated by the army’s fire.
“Is it a defeat disease? But there won’t be any fighting?”
The grass rustled as countless eyes watched the forest, alert for additional troops.
“come! preparation!”
Just as the company commander was about to give the order to fire, a tree branch opened and Amy appeared.
“Whoa, I found it.”
It is a place where thousands of lungs breathe, but surprisingly, not a single sound of breathing was heard.
“Battalion Commander…
The first thing I noticed was the 6th Battalion, her direct subordinate, and other units also spoke out.
“who is this? “The military uniform is Valkyrie.”
“Get out of the way.”
As Garcia rode the horse, accompanied by general-level commanders, the troops split apart like water.
It was a welcome face for Garcia, but his expression was rather cold.
“Colonel, why are you here?” Amy held out the official document from her arms, lowered it again, and saluted.
“Report it! Lt. Col. Karmis Amy! “As of this time, I have been ordered to return to the 6th Battalion of the Wizards!”
“uh?”
The soldiers of the 6th Battalion looked at each other, raised their arms, and cheered.
“Waaaaaa!”
It felt like I had won the war.
Berik, who was extremely excited, shouted and lashed out at the infantryman who had grabbed him by the collar a little while ago.
“Did you see it? This is the magic unit! “This is us!”
Likewise, the infantryman who was looking at Berik raised the corners of his mouth and shrugged his shoulders.
In a situation where morale was clearly visible, Garcia also regained his smile.
“Rest for 10 minutes.”
It was the most consideration that Hansi could give in a busy situation, and the division commander raised his hand and shouted.
“With this, there are no leftovers in the 2nd Corps! We will fight together, we will die together, and we will win together! “We are one!”
“We are one!”
Although it wasn’t intentional, Amy’s return breathed life into a unit that was feeling hopeless.
As Amy, who had slid down the hill, joined the procession, her subordinates gathered.
“Battalion Commander! What happened? “Are you really back?”
Amy raised her fist.
“of course. I told you I’d be back soon. Could it be that you guys… didn’t believe me?”
“haha! Could that be possible? “I firmly believed that the lieutenant colonel was the only one who could command the 6th Battalion.”
“Anyway, what I’m saying is…
Amy approached Berik, who was standing with a sulking expression, and poked him in the side.
“Hey, did you miss me? huh? I miss you?”
“Oh, don’t do that!”
Amy asked, blinking her big eyes when she came out more harshly than expected.
“Why is he like this again? “Are you dissatisfied with me?”
“haha! I’m doing that because I like it so much. Actually, this guy was with the infantry over there a little while ago…
“Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!”
Berik suddenly cut off the conversation by yelling and said with a grim expression.
“If it comes, it will come, don’t make a fuss. “Let’s not be embarrassed like this.”
Amy laughed and pooh-poohed.
“what. Ji is making more of a fuss. Anyway, be prepared from now on. “If you fall behind, I won’t let you go.”
As Amy took the lead, a colleague approached Verik and spoke quietly.
“why are you like this? “I thought you would go wild because you liked it the most.”
“Who doesn’t like it?”
I saw Amy’s back moving away.
“??????why?”
Why on earth did you come back?
‘I’m going to die anyway. A colorful life awaits you, different from the rest of us…
I don’t know why, but Beric felt like he had won in a different way than the other soldiers.
The army of Hell, numbering 200 million, was gathering towards Tormia.
Victory news everywhere.
The army’s morale soared, but Balkan’s expression as he studied the map was quite serious.
“It’s truly amazing.”
Even Balkan, who read the military code, only realized it four days after deciding to launch an all-out war.
“How can we extend 10 days?”
If he were in the same position… he wouldn’t have been able to do it.
“what? “Are we in danger?” Balkan shook his head in response to Sumodo’s question.
“no. It’s a war of attrition anyway. We have an overwhelming advantage because we have large numbers. “The important thing is why it takes time.”
“What is the reason?”
“I don’t know. A county that is not even read in the military record. They say it’s a secret operation. However, a strategy that requires this level of security cannot have great destructive power.” This was common sense in war until now.
“yes. “Espionage warfare usually hits the nail on the head.”
“hmm. But we don’t have any vital points. It’s getting on my nerves. “This little soldier.”
Balkan, who was closely examining the power map, could see numerous military flags in his eyes.
“Would you like to take it?”
All of the human armies that had been collected so far were moved to one place.
“If you do this, it will take 10 to 8 days.” It was as if I could see Valkyrie’s invisible brain clutching its head and screaming
.
“Kkkkkk. “How are you doing, kid?”
Vulcan’s eyes glowed evilly.
“War is fun, right?”
Iruki hit the table with a bang.
Empty liquor bottles tumbled to the floor and a scream of anger burst from his throat.
“Aaaah!”
No one thought he was drunk.
“ha! ha!”
Iruki’s hair had already turned gray and had turned gray.
‘why?’
It was an unexpected number.
‘Why are you dragging me into a battle? ‘Why are you doing this, even lowering the perfection of your tactics?’
A war that risks the lives of all mankind seemed to him to be just a game of cards.
‘You bet without even looking at the hand?’
If it’s chess, it’s like playing with your eyes closed.
However, it was like stabbing a blind spot hidden in infinite probability.
‘It’s impossible.’ The probability of an engagement increased significantly, but there was no way to recover the two days lost.
‘There must be a way. No, it must be there. If I couldn’t do it, the 2nd Corps would be annihilated.
“Hmm…”
The commanders noticed that Iruki’s hair was gradually turning gray and approached.
“Iruki’s face crumpled as I asked him to rest for a bit, Commander-in-Chief.
‘doesn’t exist. does not exist.’
It has been concluded.
“It’s done. Strategy always requires an opponent. “If you break the rules, there is no way to respond.”
The commander comforted.
“Don’t blame yourself. Commander-in-Chief: “But.”
Iruki interrupted.
“What is over is my strategy, not the war.”
“What is that…
Iruki’s eyes shone fiercely.
‘Variables will inevitably arise.’
If it was based on probability rather than a battle of numbers, it was now a gamble even for Iruki.
