How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 97. A warrant has been issued (5) As I always think, war is not very fun.

Really, wouldn't it be rare to die and die meaninglessly like this?

I was lost in thought as I listened to one report after another.

The report that the observer put out is a report that would bring out a big smile from the point of view of a knight or an ordinary lord.

Destroy enemy forces with overwhelming firepower.

The enemy was running out of mana, so he couldn't even use magic properly, and the wizards on our side were literally swept away by the magic they used, wasting magic stones like water.

Of course I don't hate either.

But it's not fun either.

‘As expected, it's my job to hang out leisurely.' I'm already starting to miss the bed in my room.

I really miss my soft bed.

I want to end this war quickly and go back.

As I grumbled inwardly, the sound of bombing in the distance finally subsided.

There were still plenty of magic stones on this side, so the magic didn't stop because of a lack of mana.

“it's over?”

When I asked, Asha, who received a report from the observer, answered.

“They say they are retreating.”

Rather, there is a late feeling of ‘coming now?'.

According to simple reports, it seems that more than half of the troops have already been wiped out by our side's one-sided magic bombardment.

Rather than a strategic retreat, it must be said that they had no choice but to flee after they had already been robbed.

....run away quickly.

“What are you going to do? Don't you think it would be better to track it like this?”

Seina asks.

As a former mercenary, he proposed to boldly pursue them and annihilate them without leaving anyone behind.

Don't be so cruel to me.

“Don’t chase me.”

I shook my head and rejected Seina's proposal.

There is no reason to go after them and commit a massacre.

I'm not crazy about carnage.

It doesn't matter if you shed blood if necessary, but it's not fun to go through a massacre beyond that.

I want to go crazy with meat rather than slaughter.

“All right. They tell me not to pursue them.”

It wasn't that they didn't particularly feel sorry for the slaughter, but when I ordered them not to pursue them, they seemed to follow me.

“Let’s take a deep breath while being vigilant.”

I ordered the posture to be adjusted for a while.

Maybe the retreat could be a fake.

They told us to be vigilant only as much as necessary and told us to take care of things as well.

I used magic while wasting magic stones, but it's not like we wizards weren't tired either.

Although there are few, there are casualties on this side as well.

Better to fix it now.

“As for possible enemies… do what you can to organize.”

Equipment that could be captured was retrieved, and there were also wounded who were abandoned in retreat on the enemy side.

Is it that there is no time to take care of the wounded?

It's kind of like leaving it alone.

Let's recover as prisoners.

“Whether to take them prisoner or not... I'll leave it up to you to decide what to do on the spot.”

“yes.”

The female knights instructed the other soldiers on the orders I gave.

“Anyway, unexpectedly, we had nothing to do.”

“That’s what I mean.”

“why? If you don't have anything to do, that's fine.”

Normally, you can't hit bombs with magic like this recklessly.

It is said that after scattering the display with magic, the soldiers get tangled and the knights come out in between.

However, there was no time for knights to step out on the battlefield today.

There was no need to step out in the first place, so Kania-noona is not here now.

He said he was still preparing and left it at the base.

Although my sister was quite regretful.

On the battlefield, it was said that following my judgment was the condition for being brought in, and since I promised that, I obediently complied.

“Somehow it feels like we’re the only ones playing.”

Asha said slightly embarrassed.

It's not that the two female knights are truly sorry either.

I agree that a comfortable battlefield is best rather than suffering.

Still, it seemed that he was resentful of not doing anything after having been instructed to train with such hardship.

“The war is not over yet.”

At best, it is only to the extent that our side has blown tens of thousands.

The battle will continue to unfold in the future.

Sooner or later, the time will come for the knights to step out.

Since you have learned that simply attacking head-on like today will only get you back, you will now try to attack cautiously.

Then, from now on, the skills of the knights, including the girls, will be needed.

The battle will repeat itself over and over again.

I was fed up with that fact.

War is no fun either.

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha! What a great defense. You’re like my younger brother, Arel.”

After the war situation was settled, the senior brother-nim, who was reported on the criminal record at the top-level meeting once again, burst into laughter.

Unlike his somewhat haggard appearance before, his eyes are somewhat lively.

In addition to the items I supported, the additional supply corps returned, so I could afford it again.

It's because the defense is going well, and I'm satisfied to hear that I have inflicted a terrible counterattack on the enemy.

The victory of my unit also had an impact on the morale of the other units.

“They couldn't have imagined that they would be defeated so terribly.

Good job!”

“No big deal. It just happened that enemies got in my way.

The only difficult enemies are those that the oldest brother dealt with.”

I didn't show off.

At such an attitude, the oldest brother was just looking at me with satisfaction, perhaps assuming that I was being humbled.

No, I really don't care about my major.

Just keep the balls you made on the battlefield with you.

Come on, take the ball.

pass.

“Thanks to today's counterattack, the enemy's morale must have been somewhat disturbed. Shouldn't now be our chance to strike out?”

Perhaps from today's battle, Jeil-hyung-nim seemed to have regained his confidence, and he expressed his intention that it might be okay to start a full-scale counterattack.

“That's right.”

“That is the right decision.”

Other lords and nobles seemed to be in favor of it.

“What do you think, Arell?”

Jeil hyung-nim also seeks opinions from me.

“I think you can do as your brother wishes.”

I didn't object either.

I agree with you that it is a good time to launch a counterattack.

I'm sure the enemy won't be able to rush forward as boldly as before thanks to the achievements made by my forces today.

Then, while he was hesitant, he judged that there would be no problem even if the oldest brother pushed through the enemies.

me?

I just suck at sugar and carbonation while fortifying myself.

Yes, I'll do the defense thoroughly.

Instead, hyung-nim, just enjoy riding your horse and going through enemy lines.

The way to suck honey in war is simple.

You just have to get stuck in the back and play.

This is a truth that goes through any military in any world.

The next day.

The Kingdom of Ernesia, led by First Ernesia, immediately launched a counterattack against the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

In the defense system to thoroughly hold on, one-third of the troops were divided and launched an attack on the alliance.

Thanks to the performance of the Fahilia lord's army led by Arell, there was some room for defense, and it was because the allied army, which had been bitten by a hasty attack in the last battle, began to move somewhat cautiously.

However, it was dangerous to drag all the troops and face them head-on.

Although each of the lords brought reinforcements and their powers were equalized to some extent, the Three Kingdoms Alliance still had an advantage in numbers by tens of thousands.

Therefore, the first thing to ask for opinions from lords experienced in war, and the method they recommended to the first prince was a surprise attack.

It is to divide the troops that can be turned into the current attack into a number that can be secretly maneuvered and continuously stab the enemy from the side and back.

A war of attrition using thorough surprise.

The defense is kept to a minimum as a defense unit, and the method of cutting the enemy's nerves.

“Your opinions are indeed valid.”

He acknowledged that the first was a neatly good number and ordered it to be so.

The lords, accustomed to deploying their men swiftly under the command of the first, constantly harassed their allies by deploying several surprise troops.

Of course, the allied forces also dealt with the kingdom army fighting from the front, but the battle between the two armies continued as they responded to the surprise attack in their own way.

And behind the front where the fierce battle continues.

On the defense front of several lords centered on the fortress.

“Kyaa! The meat melts very easily!”

A gray-haired boy was passing the time leisurely by grilling and eating meat.

Even if it's a battlefield, you can't neglect eating and drinking.

On the contrary, it is more important to eat well than this.

In particular, during the march, it was difficult to properly prepare and eat, so eating meat that has been properly grilled for the first time in a while is truly a taste of happiness.

Currently, on the frontline, the best brother and the lords who are in charge of the attack are joining forces to engage the enemy.

And now, Lord Pahilia's army, which I'm commanding, is concentrating on defense from the rear...

pretending to be resting to their heart's content.

Thanks to the appeal of tactics using mobile watchtowers and Semundo cars, we were not an army with excellent mobility, but an excuse to remain in the rearguard, thanks to the perception that we were a defensive army that moved slowly but stabbed when touched.

In addition, the opinion that a break was necessary due to the results of yesterday's battle was plausible.

‘Even though I wanted that from the beginning.'

From the beginning, I had no intention of taking the lead.

I was about to wage a bed-type war comfortably in the rear, leaving the exhausting rampage in the front to my older brother and the ball-crazed lords, because the general trend is to lie down and command.

For that purpose, I deliberately chose tactics with low mobility.

Thanks to that, now I can play like this.

“Ugh? It's been a while since I ate it, so it's delicious?”

Kania noona is also eating meat with a bright smile on her face.

Well, memories come to mind when I was in the palace.

Always after my sister trained, I would get some meat and eat it together.

It was a pleasure to eat since the palace life had so little play.

“sister! sister! They even have snow rabbit meat here!”

“Oh, I’ll decline that.”

The monster still refuses.

This is delicious.

Yes, I will eat it all myself!

“Still, my conscience pricks me a little.”

Currently, not only our brothers and sisters, but also the knights and the wizard Dia are all gathered here.

They say that it is frustrating to eat quietly in the barracks, and they are drinking outside separately.

“What's up? In the original battlefield, the brazen ones survive.”

“I agree with what Seina said.”

I wholeheartedly agreed with Seina's words, unlike Asha, who smiled wryly as if she was a little pricked by her conscience.

Originally, the world is a way for the shameless and wise to live comfortably.

What if I trained with a policy of building an offensive unit rather than a defensive tactic?

By now, we would have had to run amok in the frontlines or ambush in the mountains and face the night dew.

Even now, lords and knights on the frontlines must be suffering like that.

On the other hand, we are resting comfortably in our own way, guarding against defense from the rear.

After all, the one who sucks honey is the winner in the army.

‘There's no way I'll push right away anyway.'

Thanks to yesterday's counterattack, the allies are wary of us, so they won't poke the hive twice for being crazy.

It would be annoying just to deal with the troops led by the older brother.

At least today, nothing special.

This situation was judged by me, not by anyone else, so I will never be wrong.
