Doctor Player Chapter 112
[Stat]
Intelligence: 44 (+5) → 54
Originally, his intelligence was 39. However, as a former surgeon, I received a correction of +5 and jumped 10 more due to the attribute effect.
Raymond felt his head spinning. I felt smart!
At that time, Remerton was feeling good and humiliating.
“no. I’m ashamed. Prince Bon, I was just talking about the basics of strategy.”
Then he looked at Raymond.
Raymond was at a loss as to how to react.
‘What can I do? Should I say that I don’t think so?’
But there was a problem.
That he has yet to discover the enemy’s true purpose.
‘If I don’t find out the enemy’s clear purpose, I won’t accept my opinion.’
Raymond thought.
What is the enemy really aiming for?
‘…I don’t know.’
Although his intelligence stat increased as a result of the attribute effect, Raymond was not fundamentally a soldier. Strategic thinking was limited.
Instead, Raymond decided to think on his own terms.
‘If I were the enemy, what would I most like? What do you want to aim for the most?’
Like a snob, I thought of what I was most greedy for.
What would the enemy want most at this moment?
‘…no way?’
Goosebumps ran down Raymond’s spine.
‘It’s a Vestian supply base! Everything else is just a trick, and it’s clear that they’re targeting the Vestian supply base!’
He looked at the map.
If you go up the road that passes through Kunka’s territory, you will come to the Vestian supply base.
It was a base that primarily stocked items supplied by the Houston Kingdom!
‘It’s clear they’re aiming for the items piled up in the supply base!
Raymond felt dizzy.
‘no! All the herbs and healing materials I ordered are at that supply base! ‘
Raymond ordered a huge amount of herbal treatment materials with 500,000 penas obtained by threatening high-level healers a while ago.
Those materials were now piled up at the Vestian supply base.
If that base is robbed, he suffers bankruptcy losses.
‘This is not the time to be quiet. I have to stop it!’
“Excuse me, can I speak?”
Raymond immediately raised his hand.
All eyes in the meeting room were focused on him.
Most of them looked kindly at them, but they did not give in because it would cost them hundreds of thousands of penas.
“I think the purpose of the Droton Kingdom is elsewhere.”
“…what?”
Remerton twitched his eyebrows.
Normally, my heart sank, but thanks to the C-grade Steel Heart skill, I was able to not back down.
‘I will protect my property!’
Resolutely determined, Raymond opened his mouth.
“The enemy is north of the highway. It’s very likely they’re targeting the Vestian supply base. Why do you judge that… ….”
At the right time, speech skills were expressed.
A calm, well-coordinated voice resounded throughout the conference room.
The people in the conference hall quickly fell in love with Raymond’s explanation.
* * *
“…That is all.”
So Raymond finished his remarks.
Silence fell in the barracks. It was a silence mixed with shock.
Everyone looked at Raymond in amazement.
‘Yes, it’s quite possible.’
‘If the base of Bestian falls, we will be in great danger.’
Meanwhile, Remerton bit his lip.
Because it was a direct contradiction of his opinion.
“Bestian base is at the rear of our army. Do you think that 10,000 heavy armored troops can surprise that distant place even if it moves along a well-paved road?”
‘I’m so mad.’
Remerton was a powerful prince who could not be compared to Seytil.
Along with Cairn, a magnate who confidently aims for the next kingship.
‘But I can’t back down. Hundreds of thousands of pennies and my fortune are at stake!’
Also, if we lose all the herbs, patients will die without being treated properly.
There will be many other damages.
Thinking about that, I couldn’t back down.
“it’s possible.”
“what?”
“Because we only need to select and run the light cavalry out of 10,000 troops. If you run with the hussars, they will arrive in no time.”
The military leaders swallowed their saliva.
a possible story.
Even if it wasn’t so, the Vestian supply base was in the rear end and was poorly equipped.
“The hussars won’t bother taking over the supply base. I will set them all on fire and run away.”
Having said that, no one could refute Raymond’s opinion any longer. Everyone acknowledged that Raymond’s claim was correct.
Then Christine stepped out.
“I speak as the representative of the Raeburn duchy.”
“…!”
“I agree with Baron Pennin. It is judged that the defense of the supply base needs to be strengthened.”
Marquis Ayton, who attended as a representative of the Kingdom of Cleaver, also spoke.
“The Marquis Vaughn also agrees with Baron Penin’s opinion.”
Since then, remarks that agree with Raymond’s opinion have been poured out one by one.
Remerton’s face went white with humiliation, but he said nothing.
Because even Lemerton thought Raymond was right.
But at the last moment, an unexpected variable appeared.
This is what the commander-in-chief, Duke Leif, said.
“I will not further strengthen the defense of the Vestian supply base.”
“…!”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
‘why?! Could it be because of the bad relationship with Seytil?’
It could have been.
‘Such a naive.’
He bit his lips.
‘What should I do?’
He is the commander-in-chief.
He has absolute power on the battlefield. A giant with a height much higher than the 3rd Prince Limerton.
But he didn’t back down.
The wealth accumulated at the Vestian Supply Base was too much to back down because it was scary.
‘No matter how much the commander-in-chief is the opponent, I can’t blow hundreds of thousands of penas!’
“May I dare to say one thing to Your Excellency?”
Is it an illusion?
An interesting light flashed in Duke Leif’s eyes.
‘It’s changed.’
Duke Leif immediately noticed the change in Raymond.
Not too long ago, we couldn’t even make eye contact, but now we’ve gotten rid of the tidbit of cowardice.
Not only that, but that natural majesty?
‘Are you still growing? It’s amazing.’
I hid that feeling and opened my mouth.
“Let me tell you.”
“If we leave the Base of Vestian alone, our allies could be in great danger. Please reconsider.”
However, the Duke of Leif asked an unexpected question.
“Who said you would leave me alone?”
“…yes?”
“Inversely, I plan to sell a trap.”
Duke Leif continued sharply.
“You can’t miss a golden opportunity to deal a big blow to the enemy. Strengthen your defenses and your enemies will run away. On the contrary, it will show a more relaxed look and draw the enemies into a trap.”
“…!”
Duke Leif did not ignore Raymond’s opinion.
Quite the opposite.
It was intended to take full advantage of Raymond’s opinion and deal a heavy blow to the enemies!
“The strategy meeting ends with this. Let the staff devise a specific operation.”
Duke Rife stood up and looked straight at Raymond.
“Baron Pennin.”
“yes?”
“It was a good opinion.”
“…!”
Raymond made a surprised face.
‘Is that a compliment? Isn’t that a compliment?’
I have a bad relationship with Seytil, so you complimented me like that?
But the surprise Raymond felt was incomparable to the others.
Everyone in the conference room was shocked.
How could Duke Leif, who was stingy with compliments, talk like that?
In particular, Seytil’s face turned red.
Moreover, Duke Leif did not stop with praise.
He told an even more amazing story.
“I will continue to participate in all strategy meetings without omission. I will not allow non-participation.”
“…!”
Raymond was taken aback, but Duke Rife quickly disappeared.
* * *
After that, everything went as Raymond expected.
The enemies took a big hit when they were trying to raid the Vestian supply base, but were caught by a trap dug in reverse.
Another big win thanks to Raymond.
“Did you hear? They say this victory is all thanks to our prince.”
“Is that true?”
“Yes, the prince who attended the strategy meeting said he saw through the plot of the Drowtons. If it wasn’t for our prince, I would have suffered a rather big defeat.”
“Hey, you’re really great. He is also our prince. What the hell is it that our prince can’t do?”
“that’s right. He treats well and has a warm heart. Seeing then, he seems to have a talent for swordsmanship and is good at strategy and tactics. You are perfect.”
The joy of victory led to praise for Raymond.
Raymond hurrah resounded throughout the barracks.
“Long live Raymond!”
“Long live our prince!”
“…But you said you shouldn’t call me prince?”
“I don’t know! Anyway, what are we talking about? And honestly, isn’t our prince much better than the other princes?”
“That’s right.”
Everyone nodded as if in agreement.
In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, the other princes were unlucky bastards who only boasted in high places.
Only Raymond shone brilliantly beside them.
The soldiers believed that with Raymond, they would be able to win this tough war without difficulty.
“Let’s all follow our prince!”
“Majesty Raymond!”
Such a cry spread throughout the barracks.
It was, of course, a silent cry.
It was a story that could be played with a sutra if it accidentally reached the ears of another prince.
But it was also a cry that did not subside easily.
Because on a difficult battlefield, you need an opponent you can trust and follow. In other words, you need a hero to rely on.
Little by little, the soldiers began to regard Raymond as such a hero.
but after a few days
Something happened to pour cold water on the heat of such joy.
The Droton Kingdom army launched an all-out offensive.
* * *
The capital of the Droton Kingdom.
Archduke Berard was coldly asking through the crystal ball.
“As Archduke Bon said, are all preparations finished?”
-Your Grand Duke!
Is it because of Berard’s uncomfortable feeling?
The opposing general in the crystal ball reported in a flat low posture.
-All formations have been placed as ordered by His Highness the Grand Duke! This time, we’re going to show the Houstonians a lesson!
“Yes, go ahead. I will trust you this time.”
Believe me-
the crystal restraint general trembled.
He realized that this was the final warning.
After the crystal ball went off, Archduke Berard recited in a cold voice.
“Raymond.”
Raymond!
It was a really boring name.
Because of him, I suffered another great defeat.
“That too is the last. Once this battle is over, this war will be solidified as our military’s victory. I will definitely capture you and make you kneel before me. I will put your neck in a flag and trample the kingdom of Houston.”
But suddenly I was worried.
‘…He wouldn’t even see through this operation, right?’
Because he’s a genius
