From a terminal Soldier to Monarch
46. The Stone Behind Your Back

The commander of Armstrong's fallen army in the Seventh Infantry camp was frustrated.
The enemy throws out a single blow to fight the right way.
There has been no contact with the enemy since then.
‘Bastards. ’
A troop that has chosen to advance instead of scouting the area.
‘He ran away immediately. ’
I came to that conclusion at the end of the thinking process.
Then where did they go? It was obvious.
A Zayturas Forest.
I wanted to pursue, but I had to give up.
It was foolish of you to go into the woods in pursuit of some injured troops.
Either they were caught by the Interceptors of Armstrong or they were fortunate enough to be fed to the Cobalts somewhere in the woods.
I was still heartbroken. I should have killed them.
“Where did they take the wounded? ”
The deputy asks if you feel the same way.
“Must have gone into the woods. ”
This was the general man's idea.
The wounded have fled.
Serca, not the other side of the gate, would have been hiding in the woods to survive.
The commander reported above, and even the senior commander concluded the same.
A group of 7th infantry survivors were not in their heads.
*
Sercado has three commanders with more than a certain number of troops.
Each is named after an order.
First to Third.
Three orders are practically the top of the battlefield.
It was one of them.
Third Order, First Cavalry Commander and Earl Van Ludwig's firstborn son, Bihyn Ludwig.
The curly, chiseled blonde inherited from her mother, and her fiercely shining blue eyes pierced the Earl Ludwig's.
Inside the tent, there are two men standing in front of the wooden table.
The Knights Madrid and Canneruck faced the Servants.
The servant looks up at the 5th and 7th infantry commanders with his hands on the table.
“A soldier breaks the curse and kills the enemy's knight? ”
It contained disbelief rather than curiosity.
It was hard to believe just by listening to it.
“Yes.”
Canneruck replied.
‘Canneruck.’
Baron Ronaldo was the villain of the Forgiveness anecdote.
But now he's come all the way here after defeating the enemy's tactics.
Only seven infantry troops and a hundred untrained soldiers.
Above all, recent achievements have truly affected the entire battlefield.
The feat of stopping the curse and killing the Wolves' knight was great enough to turn him back into a knight.
But the one who stopped the curse is a soldier.
There, Knight Madrid gave the soldier the position of a White Captain, and this fierce warrior who became a White Captain led the wounded away from the army.
It's amazing.
The servant looks at them calmly and opens his mouth.
“How old are you? ”
“Fifteen.”
As he replied, Madrid felt strange.
It reminds me of a conversation I had with Canneruck a while ago.
“You appointed fifteen boy soldiers to command, and that soldier prevented the curse and killed the Knight of Wolves. ”
The servant straightens the situation with his own mouth and finds out how absurd this sounds.
‘Bullshit.'
Earl Ludwig's eldest servant, the nobleman and knight, was cold.
‘Even if it is true, it doesn't change the situation. ’
The soldier who became a White Captain is not in front of him now.
With the wounded on the move, he's probably dead.
That was it.
You stopped the curse and killed a knight of the enemy army.
I remembered the facts and faced them.
You stopped the White Devil's curse, but you can't say the enemy's ruse didn't work.
The allies' morale drops sharply, and the bewildered commander tries to throw a few soldiers into the fire pit.
If I had prevented this raid after it really happened, I would have suffered terrible consequences.
All we need now is the commander who accomplished that feat.
"In recognition of the achievements of the 7th Infantry, Canneruck has been made unofficially commander of the 5th Cavalry."
"Informal, but it was a promotion."
“Yes.”
Canneruck clenches his fist and lowers his head parallel to his chest.
"Madrid, change your perspective."
That's it. Madrid and Canneruck are out of the Third Order's barracks.
You can see two of the escort stations right in front of the tent.
Madrid turns away, her eyes wide open.
Then he sticks to the first canoe.
“Shouldn't we be saving it? ”
We made it to the mainland safely. Now that we have some time to spare, it was best to withdraw some troops and rescue the soldier.
Canneruck glances at him and says,
“I don't think I need it. ”
Madrid doesn't understand Canneruck's relaxed expression.
“Do you think he's already dead? ”
“No, Chris will be alive. ”
He's not just gonna die. Canneruck knows the boy.
I know better than anyone here.
“Then why give up? ”
The relationship between the two seemed normal.
“Think · · ·. ”
Canneruck pauses. Just when I was curious, he opened his mouth again.
"They're good at everything. If you need my help, I'll call you."
When the time comes, whoever gives the order will come out.
That's what Canneruck thought.
*
I've defeated bandits in my past life.
It was a fairly large punitive force with over a hundred mercenaries in both knights.
I was hired there as a Pathfinder and a guide.
It was when I was a kid. It was just when I started doing the right thing.
We only caught 15 bandits.
I've lost 50 mercenaries.
‘They were amazing. ’
I heard you were hiding in the mountains, and then I came up from behind when you came down.
Without a single arrow, you just push your face in and make fun of the group.
“You look like shit in your head. How dare you come after someone? ”
A knight rises in heat from the bandit's curse and falls into the trap they dug.
It was nothing.
You throw a bag of dirt with a rope hanging to catch your foot.
I felt strange, but at that time my experience was poor.
I didn't follow the warning of my gut.
I couldn't understand why they did it.
I thought it was foaming at the head of the knight who cut the bag of dirt into swords and turned it upside down.
A clumsy trap angers him even more.
“I will not let you live or die. ”
At that time, the article was really intense. I felt like it would split in half if I got close.
“Follow me, everyone! ”
The knight shouts and eighty mercenaries follow him.
Bandits protrude. It was their front yard.
It was really hard to run away and chase after him.
“You! Find their trail! ”
I was unluckily nominated by the knights and joined them.
At that time, I thought it was really bad luck.
I followed the trail, but I couldn't catch it.
The bandits were really good.
Eventually, I had to fight for nothing.
"Did you find the right one?"
I had to listen to the Knight's grumbling. I tightened my head in case I got knifed for no reason.
Yuyamu, when I came back to clean up the situation like that.
We were faced with a bizarre situation.
It was a temporary node for collecting supplies.
There were only corpses of mercenaries with similar combat strength to mine who followed me as non-combatants.
And they took all the supplies they needed for food, water and hikes.
If I was there, I'd be dead, too.
It only takes you three days to climb the mountain and find their trail.
And in the middle of nowhere, we lost food.
I couldn't eat, and I went through a lot of trouble.
‘Just thinking about it is depressing. ’
It's a memory-based operation.
Of course, there are different sizes and behavioral patterns than then.
But the point is the same.
Palmun has ventured deep into the battle to see if he has made a commitment to eat Sercado's lands.
The supply corridor is naturally longer.
“Do the enemy know we exist? ”
Lynd and Digo approached my question.
“· · I don't know. ”
Lind replied.
You have no idea.
We can't call it the rear scrub. The rock behind the back will be about the size.
You die if you get slain, but you get hit by a rock.
If you hit it right, it'll break your bones.
You look back. You see a tent in the swamp.
I engraved the operation.
There's no such thing as a perfect plan. But the people who move for it are just trying to get it done.
“Let's go.”
I got Lynd on the move.
There's more than one way to get an escort from behind.
We can't figure out all those supply routes, all those paths that change in real time.
Even the commander of Armand is not a fool.
Supply is the key to war, and it cannot be easily moved so that everyone knows the way.
The enemy was stationed when I stole the supply wagon, and one of the supply wagons had virtually no effect on the situation.
But now it's different.
Supply must be delivered to the previous headquarters.
‘Enemy supplies consist of wagons. ’
‘We are running a separate party to threaten our allies. ’
"Due to the nature of Jaitulas Plain, not all food and water can be sourced locally. ’
‘The gate has an example and a fortress behind it. ’
‘Palmoon gained the upper hand in a surprise. ’
I stopped the Devil's Curse, but I can't say it didn't work.
Allies will gather troops centrally to effectively respond to the ambush on Armstrong.
If we stick together with the troops gathered in the first place, it's the Middle Ages.
‘So none of these two would have easily had each other's territory. ’
This was a battle between Earl van Ludwig, defending the defense of Sercado, and the Wolves, a family that guards the first city of Palmer.
I cleaned up the situation and piled up everything I knew.
In between, I saw what I had to do.
If you can't predict the enemy supply lines, you can find them.
I have Lynd's eyes.
‘And there's a number of units close to the bag. ’
“There.”
It's not too far from the swamp.
Lind raises a finger.
I could see dust forming in a very distant place.
These are the guys Linds found.
It's dirt coming from the door to Sercado.
We waited slowly.
I took a breath and measured the direction the enemy was coming.
‘There you go.'
It was going to pass near the swamp.
We return to the swamp as it is.
“Ready?”
Diego nods at my question.
“Gather them all. ”
There's something else I need to do as a white commander before I go into battle.
I'm a busy scout and I'm on the move.
The soldiers who sensed the atmosphere moved in a blurry fashion.
What should I say to properly execute the current operation?
I have no control over their movements.
Even though I was called a saint, I did not train this troop myself.
I cannot have complete control.
'We have to solve it with what we have. ’
If it's out of control, it's out of control.
Draw such a situation.
Enemy spotted.
The soldiers' eyes quickly subside.
“We're going on an ambush from now on. Hide yourself in the light of the swamp. And when the enemy approaches, attack. Digo!”
“From here to here, this way. ”
Digo leads the troops to their vanguard.
They all immerse themselves in swamps.
Some had their heads cut off, and some had half-prone postures.
When me and Lynd were already leaving for reconnaissance, Digo was just about to give us an explanation.
The soldiers were not embarrassed.
“Here she comes.”
I heard Lind.
Six wagons and a hundred enemy escorts.
It was the first food I wanted.
