Civilization Game

Archers and Gaius have assembled in the conference room. The participants were Ark, Lily, Gawain, Arondite, Bedivere, and five of them.

“Miss Lily, are you sure you're okay? ”

The arc looks at the chain marks on her neck and asks anxiously. Lily nods with a smile.

“I'm fine now. I'm just a little surprised. ”

“Don't overdo it. Sit down. I'll handle the meeting. ”

Arc looks around and picks up the documents on the table.

“You may have heard the rumors, but the road to the mainland has taken Empire. Faster than we took the Underhand. ”

The templars wept. An unbelievable story about Empire's capture of the Iron Wall.

“But don't worry. We have the advantage of holding many territories and underheims. Maybe Lord's coming down to avenge the Underheim. In fact, the Guards have reported that the Abyss troops stationed at Empire are on the move. ”

Arc picks up a collar and rounds the map's underside.

“So our basic strategy is agriculture in the Underhaim. If we just hold it here, we can force the attack no matter what strategy Lord has. It'll give us an immediate advantage if we stall. ”

“…… I agree with Arc. However.”

Lily howls and rises to her feet.

“… but there's more than one or two problems with the Underhaim here. There was no food in the storehouse, and the residents who lived here had lost their placenta. ”

“It turned out there was little force left to defend the capital. ”

Aaron Dyte confronts you.

“I didn't seem to have done a very good job of restructuring. ”

Bedivere, a small and small-sized cheerleader, carefully added.

“Yes. In the beginning, Rod Polentia took the liberty of returning the capital to our shores. The Underhaim has become a fortress that is easy to take and easy to lose. ”

Everyone in the conference room nodded.

“I don't know what he has planned, but as Arc has said, we must come down to avenge the Underhaims. And we're going to win a war if we stay here. And in order to stop that, Rod Polentia had to steal the manpower and the food to make it difficult for organ pollution. ”

“…… Then the issue must be supply. ”

Knock, knock. Everyone's voice stops at a sudden knock.

“Your Majesty, I have confiscated a sinner. ”

“Oh, right. Come in.”

The other hoodlums look at the arc with curious eyes. A sinner in every meeting?

“Excuse me.”

The door opens and the knights seize two sinners.

“…… that guy! ”

The Victors were startled. One of the sinners was surprisingly a young knight Percival who was hailed as a great genius. At a young age, he was once Caesar's general and led an army, but now he appears tied in shabby, torn clothes with a rope. Bright red hair was sticking to the scalp because it was wet and twisted on the face. The burning eyes, which had always been filled with confidence, had fainted with energy and were looking around the elongation in a frightened fashion.

And the other was his assistant, who caught Percival during Tia's union and escaped the limbs.

The knights kick their backs with all their might. The two fall helplessly at Arc's feet.

‘ ……! ’

The attendees were a little embarrassed. No matter how badly you treat Ga-in, who was once a general, It was treated like a prisoner of war with only one defeat.

“Hello, Mr. Percival? ”

Arc crouches and looks into Percival's eyes.

Percival turns his head away from the arc, even though he has the most admired man in front of him. He just wanted to hide if he had a rat hole.

“Oh? I'm disappointed. Percival.”

Arc said to him what he would have hated more than death. The pupils of the Percival flutter violently, and soon all the tears start to flow and start to cry horribly.

Some pretenders turn their heads away from their colleagues. What the hell's been going on? In a moment's absence, General Percival's appearance disappears, returning to an immature, young crybaby boy of his age.

“What are the charges of the Percival Army? ”

Arc asks the knight who confiscated them.

“As a general in charge of the army of 2,000, the guilt of a captain to unilaterally obliterate an ally with little damage against an enemy of Tia. And after committing such a great sin, it is a sin to flee without reporting it to the authorities. ”

“All right, back off. ”

The knights close the door as they leave the conference room.

Percival, lying flat on the floor, was completely closed down. He grew up not knowing that it was a failure. From the country boy entrusted to Arc, to the position of a general who leads an army, he was promoted to super-speed without any undulations. Everyone in the country cheered for his accomplishments and his genius.

However, "first failure" was too harsh for Percival.

Percival couldn't forget that day. I thought I'd won a perfect victory when I cut off a few of the enemy soldiers' throats while laying an ambush on Tia. I was obsessed with happiness, imagining that I would be praised by Arc. However, his feelings soon plunged into the abyss in the blink of an eye by the hatchet that swallowed the soldiers.

I ran too hard to catch Tia Grandin, but even her escorts were defeated. I lay down in front of them and begged for my life. After all, the man who saved Percival's life was the commander he despised so much. The commander sacrifices himself to get Percival out of the way, and Percival falls unconscious, being caught by his men. That was his last memory.

“Ugh, ugh! Aaaaahhhh!"

Percival recalls a terrible memory and has a violent seizure. The limbs twist and bend strangely, as if they were out of control of the brain.

‘... I don't think so. ’

‘I can't go back to the battlefield. ’

‘Tis a terrible beating by Tia Grandinet. ’

Everyone who saw him thought he was hopeless. On the other hand, it was a pity that the boy, the genius who was thought to be the timber to support Casar, was so broken by one defeat.

Arc, who was sitting ducking and watching this, smiled and said.

“Percival? Remember when I asked you to do a few things when you were in the military? ”

As Arc calls out his own name, Percival's seizures stop.

“...... You don't remember, do you? ”

His voice is sweet, but his voice is covered in something cool. Percival, obsessed with dreadful horror, forcibly pulls the memory buried somewhere in his head to the surface. He grunts and replies.

“Remember... me. ”

“Can you tell me what you said? ”

“… If you make a move, don't be shy, shy, and wait for the support of another army……. ”

Percival continued to speak in a trembling voice. If the enemy attracts you, don't chase them around. Listen closely to the advice of experienced managers. Every time he spoke to Arc, one by one, Percival struggled with extreme guilt.

“Yes, I'm well aware. Then why didn't Percival do what I said? ”

“Evv! I'm sorry! It's worth it!”

The young boy, who had been mentally disarmed from the edge of the cliff, revealed the mental injury in front of everyone. And arc dug a hole cruelly deep into the wound.

As Arc asked, Percival confessed in tears. As the process continued, the boy's face distorted with terrible pain. Gawain rises to his feet.

“Your Majesty! Please...! ”

“Keep your eyes peeled, Lord Gawain. ”

Arc turns to her and says,

“You'll feel a lot of things, too. ”

“ ……! ”

Arc strokes his head after accepting Percival's confession.

“Now do you understand? Percival. Your judgment is irrevocable. 2,000 miserable lives were burned in a fire pit because of your trashy judgment. Right?"

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

Percival nods very quickly.

“What's your judgment? ”

“Rubbish! Rubbish! ”

“Good.”

Arc strokes Percival's head again.

“Percival swordsmanship is good, even for trashy judgments. If you listen to me, it might come in handy from now on. ”

“ ……! ”

Arc, as if hypnotizing, gave a slow but one-word power.

“This happened because you made your own decision. You're afraid, aren't you? Your judgment will bring about another terrible situation. ”

Percival nods quickly like a madman.

“You don't have to do that at all from now on. You will exclude all your feelings and judgments, and you will obey only what I say. It'll make things easier. Can you do that? ”

“It's Neneh Neneh Neh!”

“What is your judgment? ”

“Rubbish! Rubbish! It's rubbish!”

The boy who had become obsessed was already insane. It was almost a cry.

“Good.”

Arc rises up and grabs his waist.

“Oops, you're not wearing a sword. Can you help me, Miss Aaron? ”

“Yep!"

She leaps toward the arc, and her body turns into a beautiful sword and is grasped by the arc. He cuts Percival's rope.

“Come on, Percival. ”

After arc hits the ground, he takes a step back.

“I'll give you one last chance. I don't want you to disappoint me anymore. ”

Percival gives you a quick nod.

“Losing a battle requires responsibility. You're supposed to be executed, but it's a shame to lose a talented knight in one defeat. Well, how about this? Percival has a judgmental disability that prevents him from making good judgments in battle. All sins lie with the deputy who aided him. ”

Arc speaks up and sees the deputy lying next to him.

“I'll give you a scenario like this. So you kill him. ”

“Yes?”

Percival's body trembles like a thorn bush again. That deputy was a lifesaver who risked his life in the fire, and he kept Percival safe as his brother.

Arc says a few words as he trembles.

“Are you going to disappoint me again? ”

“ ……! ”

Percival grips Aaron Dyte tightly, as if someone were pushing his back. The deputy shouts with his eyes wide open.

“Wait! General! Have mercy!”

Percival swings the aroundite before the deputy finishes his sentence. Arrrgh! The deputy's blood is on the boy's face. He drops Aaron Dyte out of his hand, speaking in a trembling voice.

“…… my judgment, rubbish. ”

“Excellent.”

Arc claps his hands wide. Percival held him directly in his arms. Arc clapped his back and Percival shed tears like a child.

“ ……. ”

The pretenders who were watching this shivered in horror. In particular, Gawain realized that the boy's work resembles the situation he was in.

Arc's ‘taming’.

He was a reasonable strategist. I could afford to lose because of the failure of my strategy. Every defeat has something to learn and can be complemented. But what he thought was worse was that the end of the long term did not follow instructions, causing strange variables, or, conversely, betraying himself.

‘I won't make the same mistake again. ’

Arc only wanted a long term ending that completely obeyed him. Trains the Pokémon until it is completely its own. That was the arc's way.

Altenia/Hot! Thanks for the coupon! We'll be happy to use it!

Thank you, Sungbin Park/Comments this way!

What's so funny?

Doremi Pasol/Oh Oh, what's the trick?!

Haledame/The story line is somewhat rigid for both of you, I hope you look forward to it! The list of countries is evenly spaced. It's an addendum, but many of you are surprisingly fond of it.

ppk12/... Ugh; Isn't that too bad? It's Lily.

It's true that you have blind spots in school for 12 years/relationships, but you're a great player. In fact, when Arc looked at Lily and Guinevere alternately, he was already figuring out which side to take and which side to take. And arc's choice was to take Lily's side.

Yarr/Shaktine watering hole? Ugh;

I agree with Ryumyeon.

Graft/Surprisingly, Lily is a person who sends a very dedicated and infinite trust to Arc. She's good at what she does, and Arc will never betray herself. The disadvantage of her being too jealous.

@ Loricom MK/ㅋㅋ ㅋ Oh my goodness Akya

@ Nialla Totep/Guinevere? Road Talent Acquisition;

@... (-1).../blah blah blah blah blah Now you two have omitted the name; Machinery unites;

@ bugs

@ Epic [Epic]/That's right. Lilly was the type of person who could grasp Lord's advice and return it to him, but was powerless against a character as extreme as she was extraordinary. Saida is ready, so please wait a little longer!

@ Layano/Pro Gamer is not going anywhere.

@ spadel/Khh! Thank you for the long comment first! It reveals the arc's personality flaws. They want to control everything. I wish I could have figured out how to fluidly blend in with people like Guinevere and Gawain. You hit a wall and you have a problem. If Arc played in the Abyss, would there still be indigenous people like Unibelle and Phoenix alive? Lord may have made Unibell his own man, but Arc may have killed her.
