A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 181: Later in the battle.
"I don't know what to say... that's overwhelming.
King Azpar groans so as he looks at the battlefield.
"Both Alice and Mr. Takeo prioritize eliminating the auga.
There are a few more, though.
"Right. You're taking the lead in crushing the highly aggressive.
Besides, you can see the magicians rushing around outside the line to recover.
Even a few injuries will bring you back from the front to recover... you're thinking well.
William and Layla talk with a nod.
"Hmm... Count Elvis, do your lords always have the tactics to make this recovery?
"No... I've never seen it in action either.
I know that this way of fighting was given instructions by Takeo during the first major exercise.
"Ho... hmm?... the first??
"Yeah, I've had two big exercises.
The first is Alice vs. 180, the second is Takeo and Alice vs. 180... "
"" "Huh?
"So, at first... I made the mistake that Takeo was being jerked off... and Alice was pretty.
"Uh-huh, so?
"He said that whatever Harold said didn't fit in, and that for the first time Takeo had seen the Devil's Eye and given up persuasion, making him do it.
So, we have defeated 180 people four or five times each in both major exercises.
"... four or five times this power??
William asks.
"Yeah.
Sure... Takeo had a reputation for taking down even the biggest defense, making him recover quickly, knocking him down again... and letting him train desperately to hunt him down mentally enough to make it easier.
King Azpar, William and the First Kingsguard Squad leader make their faces drawn.
"And what about... the soldiers over there?
"Half of them are participants in that training.
"That's... don't move somewhat smoothly because it's not the first time.
"Right... are there recruit platoons too?
"Yes. You're at both ends of the center of the formation in front of the castle gate.
"... first line...?
William says as he looks at the soldiers.
"Yes. The recruit platoon has been in the exercise twice, hasn't it?
"... that's pathetic... but you have a compelling composure for the recruits.
Was she scared of Alice?
Leila says in sympathy.
"... First Kingsguard, do you want me to call Alice and have her do it with us?
"Or... give me a break.
How many people will quit in shock... "
The First Kingsguard Squad leader makes a refusal while letting his face catch on.
"How many people have quit Count Elvis's place?
"So far, you haven't quit anyone.
"There's no way your lords will quit even though the recruits won't quit.
"... but I won't.
"What? You're not sure?
"You don't.
"Nah... normally it would be my subordinate role to say it is also a lie!?
"I can't train my men to likely quit because of His Majesty's playfulness.
You can't quit even though you worked out because of it.
"... So how about Takeo's the other guy?
"Um... Lord Kitamizato would be interesting, but...
Will you?
"Huh, you'd do it if you kidnapped Alice, wouldn't you?
King Azpar laughs niggardly.
"... my father-in-law. Shouldn't we stop that?
"Why?
"It's about Mr. Takeo.
For Alice's sake, the Wang Dynasty Guard would probably carry that little gun without hesitation, right?
It will no longer be an exercise.
"... if you do badly, the King's Capital Guard will be destroyed..."
King Azpar worries about "hmm".
"I thought they were both too risky... ha... funny.
King Azpar shall be dismayed.
King Azpar like that. William, Leila, and the First Kingsguard said, "It's obvious, isn't it?" I watched it with my face.

------------------------
Takeo and Alice watched from the outside without being on the front because they had exterminated Auga and ensured a number of advantages... but they were both free, so now they were looking for Harold and walking on the outside of the left wing.
"In the meantime, the dead don't seem to want to.
Alice says as she looks at the front.
"... it's over. That I won't be forced.
"Ha!"
One soldier went back to the front.
Takeo had recovered with care when he found a soldier who was tired while walking.
I still stopped to take care of it.
"Hmm? Are you a dead man... you sure don't see it.
Takeo stood beside Alice, looking around, but could not find the dead.
"Master Takeo's tactics and the recovery tactics the soldiers thought of are working.
"Really? Well, it's best not to have any victims.
You can get hit the moment you think you won, so... you have to be nervous.
"Yes, Master Takeo told the soldier chief many times.
"Yeah.
But... you're going to be dissatisfied because it would be a battle of patience for someone who thinks they can't raise a martial arts medal without an assault.
Takeo laughs bitterly.
"Dear Takeo, is it no longer our turn?
"If nothing abrupt happens, it's over.
It's a siege extermination battle now, so I think you need more organizational strength than an individual's martial arts.
And find Harold.
"Hey, Harold.
"Hmm?
What's wrong with you both?
Harold talks to the two of us closer.
"You're visiting a lot of people because you're free.
"... free time... for sure.
"What's the damage?
"You're okay so far.
Nevertheless, the recovery tactics devised by the soldier chief are good.
It takes time, but it doesn't force me, so it helps that the dead don't come out.
Harold says with a nod, but with a slightly more difficult face.
"Harold dissatisfied with the lack of assault?
Alice listens.
"To be honest, it's not enough.
Assault is a flower of war.
I consider it an honor to cut ahead and cut into the enemy.
That's what I've been taught... but only as an individual.
We also know that the new tactics devised in this battle are groundbreaking objects that make fewer victims.
I'm in a position to save my men's lives... and I can't tell you anything.
"I see it's complicated.
Alice nods.
"... if Harold thinks so, half of them are going to be dissatisfied.
Takeo said with a sigh.
"Harold, Miss Alice.
"Oops."
"Yes."
"If what I say is wrong now, listen to me.
Notify me if this is likely to alleviate your dissatisfaction.
Takeo closes his eyes slightly and opens them to speak with a true face.
"In this battle, the assault will not last.
It is enough that the assault at risk of life is a flower of war, I know, but a battlefield worthy of your lives is not a battlefield of this magnitude.
The Elvis family will not allow you to die on your own on this level of battlefield.
Live now.
Harold and Alice are listening in silence.
"What do you say?"
"Hmm... well, that's the point.
"What about your last life?
Doesn't that sound weak?
"No, Miss Alice. There may be the opposite to put it in.
"Really? Harold."
"Takeo's putting in 'now' has stirred up expectations for the next war... maybe he'll restrain himself.
Let everyone know.
"Now,
Me and Miss Alice, send word to each commander and platoon leader. Soldiers are judged by their own judgment.
Then also tell Count Elvis above the castle gate.
"Okay.
"So, Miss Alice, shall we go to the deputy commander next?
"Yes, Harold, no assault, right?
"I know.
They continued to see each other in battle.
