Civilization Game

Lord Commander's Tent.

A percussion. A chess horse in Lord's hand sits on a strategy map.

“Here, that's it. ”

The chess horses on the map surround the underside seamlessly. Rod raises his base with a proud face.

“A loner. Arc has no choice but to retreat from the Underhaim now. ”

“…… hmm. ”

Unibelle, seated next to her, looks at Lord's strategic map with her chin rest.

“I'm watching, but I can't believe it. Did the panda really put the arc in there? ”

“…… damn it. Praise your illustrious lord at this time. ”

As Lord grumbles, Unibell makes a silly smile.

“It's like the day before yesterday when you were attacked by King Argon. Weren't you tearing up like chicken poop? ”

“…… a typical distortion of the past! ”

Rod said it out loud. Unibell twists his hair with his fingers, pretending not to hear.

“But you weren't smart enough to push the arc in. How did you do that? ”

“I got lucky. ”

“…… Luck? Why are we suddenly lucky to discuss strategy? ”

“Imagine, for example, that Bible couldn't protect Fuddle Square. ”

He marks the connection between the Underheim and Puddle Square on the map.

“There's a lot of oasis in Puddle Square. If Casar had taken this place, the connection between Fuddle Square and the Underheim would have been established, so there would have been no way to dry them out with water. ”

“Oh, really? ”

Unibell empowers the eye of the action.

“That's why all this is because she survived so well. Is this it?"

“No. I listen to people all the time. ”

Lord shakes his hand.

“At the time I was deciding what strategy to use, Underhaim was a sandstorm, Casar's Knights didn't care about the Liberty Revolution, Guinevere gave me permission to be a spy, and they didn't get beaten and killed using Lyris, all thanks to good luck. ”

“…… what is that? It's just luck after all. ”

As Unibell looks disappointed, Lord giggles.

“What I did was simple. How do I move and the arc hates it the most? All strategies begin with that question. And combining all the luck that comes with the strategy, I put the flesh on the skeleton of my strategy. For example, since Viwald saved Fuddle Square, we could set up an intelligence base there, and we decided to go all in on a daring maneuver to wipe it out. ”

“Hmph, you were hoping for luck after all. ”

After the Guinevere incident, it was a fiercely roasted unibell. Lord grabs unibell's cheek with his finger, making his lips pop.

“Ubud?! ”

“What nonsense are you talking? ”

It was an ambassador she had spit out in wine.

“Anhydrous!”

Like a carrot, she bites Rod's finger. ‘Ow!' Rod pulls his finger out, frowning at the pain.

“Don't you remember? ”

“Well, what...? ”

“I don't want to be born. Anyway, the next thing I'm telling you, the only plan a human makes is a hollow point. There's no way your first strategy is gonna work out the way you planned. Luck or other variables appear, the will of heaven. That" coincidence "and the human" plan "combination are the most complete strategies I can think of. ”

Unibell was listening to Lord's story with a serious face.

“The arc lacked some flexibility in that area. Because he thought he could control the situation, and he was trying to reduce the variables that were happening during the plan. That's his weakness. The thing about being too perfect is it's holding my ankle. ”

“…… hmm. ”

Unibell looks at the road with a slight red face. Lord was somewhat creepy and asked.

“…… What a burdensome look. ”

“No, you did good. ”

Unibell smirks and smacks Rod in the chest with his fist. It hurt.

“You know, I've always wondered, how does a panda know so much about arcs? I don't know his personality, I just know his psychology. ”

“…… was once the object of my desire. I worked hard.”

“ ……? ”

“Long story short. ”

Arc on Earth was a virtual reality programmer representing Korea, and Lord himself was just a cornerstone gamekeeper. At that time, Lord Rod was able to memorize the arc's schedule.

“…… Anyway, if it doesn't rain like this, Arc will have to leave the castle. We may be on our way soon, so please check on the soldiers again. ”

“Yes, yes. You want to be alone again? ”

Now it was Chuck, pretending. Unibell gets up and leaves the commander's tent. Lord Horonah turned on the Commander's spear.

‘We need to check the mood not only domestically but also abroad. ’

The first place I checked was Keltine, the ally facing Hades. On the map, you gave away a Node Territory, but instead you took over a deep enemy territory. Perhaps he used the Wargate to attack the enemy's vulnerable territory. Again, Chielo didn't have to worry.

Rod turns his gaze to other distant areas.

‘…… here we are. Serena.’

The East was at war. Perhaps Abyss and Casar were at risk in the war, and over time, one of them emerged victorious. In Gaia, they attacked the enemy Genozerg to increase their strength.

But Guia's player John seemed to have forgotten the existence of Argon for a while. As soon as the Guia troops left, Serena took a large fleet and docked on Guia's mainland, attacking the capital, Masaviel. We don't know what strategy she used or what she came up with this time, but Massaviel was simply captured and John barely escaped and is hiding somewhere.

There were about three countries that could enter the Cultural Age and stop Argon armed with the latest diseases: Guia, Genoc, and Icarus. But Icarus was already heavily wounded by her, restoring his strength, and both Gaia and Genozerg would have been spared no harm in the war. Now, I was wondering if the three countries together could stop Argon.

‘…… Serena. The timing is subtle.’

Lord wanted to stop Argon from entering the continent, but now it was too much to deal with Casar. Serena has been thoroughly erased from existence and has sought a perfect time for other powers. With her abilities, she'll have the whole East in no time. Until then, Lord had to capture Casar and prepare for battle with her after reaching the Cultural Age.

‘… but that's also the storage we need to win this battle. Right now, we need to focus on the battle we're facing. ’

“Your Majesty! This is a message from the intelligence agency!”

The deputy jumps into the tent and shouts. Lord sees him as he closes the Commander's window.

“I'm surprised. What is it?”

“Panda! Is something wrong? ”

Unibell, who was out preparing for the battle, quickly ran into the commander's tent.

“Guinevere's intel! Early this morning, Arc is returning to the Casar mainland! ”

“…… Finally! ”

Rod clenches his fist with intense joy.

“Yes! I'm going home! ”

Unibell also ran around screaming for joy.

“What is Arc's retreat route? ”

“North. Looks like we're heading straight for the Red Keep. ”

“Good.”

Unibelle, who was running around, said as she was high fiving with Lord.

“You guys, you look great! You're not just gonna let them go, are you? ”

“Of course, I'll make it worth your while. ”

Lord and Unibell smile at the same time. The deputy flinches. Is it true that the king and God are alike?

“Prepare yourselves. ”

*

Early in the morning, Arc marches out of the castle with 10,000 men.

The soldiers are excited to finally leave this hellish Underheim, but Arc can't be happy. Without proper combat, we are defeated in the war and returned to the mainland. This was the first humiliation.

If we go into Casar without any trouble, the Lord will be returned to the Underhaim without a drop of blood.

‘I will repay your debt today. ’

Caesar's army rises to the north, in the early dawn winds.

As the faint dawn approaches, there are troops approaching, stirring dust towards the Kasar army heading north. It was 5,000, led by Lord himself.

Arc grits his teeth as he sees an army approaching.

‘I'm sick of giving up the Underhand and going back, but now you're going to bite me in the back? ’

“…… arc, what do I do? Do you want to fight?”

At Lily's question, arc shakes his head.

“It's not hard to catch them, but we can't let the rest of the Abyss army come between our ankles. This side also sends an army to stop them and set them up and send them north first. If you head north, you'll find reinforcements from the reserve. ”

“Then who do we send? ”

In fact, it was to send in the death squad. Arc looked around and said.

“The opponent is the strongest of the Abyss, led by Lord himself. We'll have to face the strongest. Wouldn't you agree, Lord Gawain? ”

“ ……. ”

Gawain nods quietly.

“This is for Casar's future. Lead the 2,000 and stop the Abyss. ”

“I understand.”

Lily looks at the arc with half her worried face.

“Ahh. Is it going to be okay? Lord Gawain..."

“It's okay. She knows what she's like, right? I'm obsessed with knights and honor. That's way beyond self-awareness. She won't betray her country, even if it costs her her her life. That's him.”

Arc watches Gawain's final back as he disappears among the soldiers. Though her skills were clear, she wanted to make them her own, killing her supervisor was outrageous. He pretended he didn't know her for committing treason and kept her alive so far to use and throw her away in this situation.

‘If it doesn't change, you're right to dispose of it. Please do your best to fight and die. Gawain.’

*

“Oh, there he is! I see the arc! ”

Unibell snaps his fingers and shouts. Rod's forces that have come down the hill follow Casar's tail.

“Good. Let's give them an unforgettable memory. ”

However, there was an army that was listed at the rear of the fleeing Casar Army base. Lord saw a colossal blue flag and knew it was Gawain's army.

‘... A discarded water. ’

Lord raises his fist and sends a stop order. The two armies stood against each other, leaving only a few hundred meters behind.

“What are you doing? ”

“…… I'll talk to her. ”

Rod comes forward with a loudspeaker. You follow Beatrice and Unibell as escorts.

“Sir Gawain. Rod Polentia. I have something to say. ”

Holy Grail Cree is right. Bye.

--------------

Thank you, Seong-bin Park! Cheers! Let's talk about Aland in the script. But surely... it would be cleaner to catch Aland than to make him an ally again.

T-Stone/Ion Drink in need

Whale reading/Thank you!

spadel/Well, I think the pressure I'm under right now is greater than the pressure that arc is under the heim.

What was GNEJI/Arc's choice?!

Lusia/Well, the end of the arc if it doesn't end quickly (?) is already set, please expect it.

Loricom MK/There is only one way to break this situation. It's raining.)

Black_Rose/Huff; Her Creepy;

Coolera/I see. There must have been a few retreats, but the arc's a little off. But how can a man make a bold decision without leaving a clue?

----

@ Niallatothep/Well, apparently the speed waves tend to recuperate for a long time.

Hatchman 4/Condition is a bit like that. Well, I'll fix it.

-------

@ sugarcane 158/I would have changed my appearance again. But the first reason Arc took the Underheim was because he was afraid of the Revolutionaries. Heh;

@... (-1).../Oh! Lord, you've finally done it! At least it looks like Road > Arc!

@ Altenia/@ yadda! We can't have biblical appearances without trying; shh; we'll try! Effort!
