Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

"I know why you destroy each one, but why are you marching from here?

It was Lilith, Sacubas's daughter, who still didn't understand my operation that raised the simple question.

During the march, he bothered to ask the horses side by side of me.

"If we go from here to Leesas, we'll have faster time to encounter the enemy."

And I said, "Oh, I see! I seem convinced."

The next thing I've asked was Alistair from the White Rose Knights, a woman straddling a stunning white horse.

"So you knock on the knights coming from Leesas quickly, and then you move around the battlefield,"

I'll make it up to you after I say "oh."

"Nothing stupid. Honestly, you don't have to stay on the spot and wait for the enemy army. If I take my fighting power from the enemy army, I will go to the next battlefield. The point is, you just have to beat it before the enemy gathers you."

"It's as easy as going hiking."

Lilith laughs, as she also echoes, "If you're with Master Ike, you're with hiking anywhere," but I admonish you both.

"It's actually not that easy. This is 2,000 soldiers. There's a thousand fierce men out there, but they're regular knights over there. The Knights are more than twice as powerful, especially on the Leesas side, who will be their first opponent. It won't be easy."

"But it's Ike who makes it possible."

"You don't always win. Especially the wary army, always next to defeat."

"I'm not alarmed."

Lilith emphasizes overlapping, but the expression is relaxed.

Perhaps the adage is for this daughter to win and admonish the mighty.

"But in history, there have been many generals who have won a streak of battles but lost at the last moment and left the stage of history."

"That's what Master Ike will do?

"I don't want to be."

"Well, it's okay, I'm sure"

Lilith said so freely, voluntarily returning to her own brigade.

It's time to be scolded, I guess I predicted the timing. She is a daughter-in-law who seems to be brain-weather and has no loopholes.

Seeing that, Alistair laughs, suppressing and "dulling" her mouth.

"What's funny?

I ask unexpectedly, but Alistair says without returning her expression.

"You're a really interesting organization with the Demon King Army. It's more human than human, in a way."

Says there's no such thing as a general who lets his men open such a light mouth before the war.

"I wonder if that's not the Demon King's Army, it's just my legion. All you have to do is 7th Corps and a very small number of legions. If the other Legion Leaders slap such a light mouth before the battle, they will either go to jail or snap their necks on the spot."

"That's horrible."

Alistair goes on like this, not to be a little horrible.

"But Lord Ike is allowed to do so. Is that tolerance not only a factor attracting demons, but also dwarves, elves, and humans to it?

"My ex-boss witch scolds me, sweetie."

"Kindness," you might call it.

"That's a good word. If I get a chance, I'll add it to my ex-boss' dictionary."

But...

And I turn the subject around.

"Is Lord Alistair all right?

"What do you mean you're okay?

"No, this time, oddly enough, we're going to be on the side of the Demon King's Army, fighting our former compatriots. Are you ready for that area?

When she hears the words, she regains the samurai's face.

"Of course there is! They are rebels who have betrayed His Majesty, who can be revealed as the Father of the Nation. Let me show you by slashing and throwing away the famous knife Belladonna."

and tries to pull the Mithrill sword out of its sheath, but its hands are unbound.

"Is that it?

and look strangely at the waist.

………………

Apparently you shouldn't expect much from this girl's force.

I wish I was at least good as a commander.

What about the area?

Sure, the first time I saw her on the battlefield, I was under the impression that I was a general who was distinguished between courage and recklessness. He was on the front line himself, letting his sword-wielding men escape.

At first glance, it seems like a good general, but as a commander, I'm not very impressed.

Well, what am I going to preach about standing on the front line, but to what extent is the vessel as her general?

It's a good opportunity, so I'll ask.

"Excuse me, Lord Alistair. I heard you graduated from the Royal Academy of Cadets of the King's Capital in Leesas."

Alistair answers the question.

"Yes, there were 84 martial arts officers who graduated that year, and honorably I was honored by His Majesty to give his word to the graduation ceremony"

"At the top of it, do you mean?"

"For once, that's what happens"

But go on.

"I was confident in my grades in seating, but it's also suspicious that I was able to score even points when things went into action. Perhaps your father made a donation to the upper echelons and made you chairman."

"... I see"

She's an honest daughter everywhere.

"However, as I said earlier, I have never lost a mock battle to command a seat or a unit"

"That's comforting"

If I say so, she'll deny it, too.

"No, that's a big mistake. There is about a difference between a dragon and a snake between actual and simulated battles. I started to stand on the battlefield, and I felt bad about it."

She goes on and on when she takes a breath there.

"What the battlefield needs is cool judgment, and bold decision, and luck. I realized that."

"Is it luck?

"Yes," says Alistair.

"Honestly, my skills as a commander are inferior. Overwhelmingly. But until today, I was safe, able to live. I think it's just luck."

"That won't happen. It's not a world where luck alone can survive. I heard they put up a magnificent medal."

"But half of my contemporaries, who graduated the same year as me, are already in the grave. Everyone has sword arms stood above me, and some people were more dominant. Yet this is how I lived, and they died. I think sometimes. What was the difference between them and me? and -"

Sounds like a philosopher.

"Yes, so I'm lucky to have the answer I got there. Lord Ike, you remember the day I attacked the city of Ivaris, don't you?

"Whatever."

"That day I stayed on the battlefield until the end trying to work shamelessly on my family name. So I was able to survive."

…………

Sure, and I think of the sight then.

She saved herself from my trap and didn't have to lose her life by staying on the battlefield.

"Later, when I was locked away in the tower, I abandoned my desire to make self-determination by meeting Lord Ike."

…………

"Even then, Lord Ike said. Fighting is not only about strength, but also about luck."

"I did say it"

In fact, what famous general, but when you lose, you lose.

Alexander the Great, Nobunaga Oda, Jiayang Tokugawa, Chingis Hahn, Napoleon, Hannibal, Timur, Kaesar, Zhu Yuanqiang, Kwangwu Emperor, Rommel, Bibalus, Nelson. If you name the name, there is no cutting, but not one general, such as the one who ended up undefeated for life.

The problem is how to stand around after losing, but this girl may have gotten one end of that extreme in her last defeat.

The point is, you don't have to die if you lose.

As long as we live, we have many chances to challenge revenge.

Fortunately, I haven't lost a single time yet, but I didn't even think I could always keep winning ahead.

I don't think war is so sweet.

Therefore, I decided to rely on what she called 'luck'.

This girl insists she's lucky.

I'm sure this girl would choose the best solution tactic.

I thought so. I ask her.

"With this march speed, tomorrow, we will be able to match the enemy forces. The number of enemy troops is almost double. What tactics would Lord Alistair choose?

"Tactics?...?

She asks me with a strange face, knowing or not how I feel.

"Yes, thicken the center, break through the center and mutilate the enemy formation, or put the troops in two and pinch them? I'm lost."

"Can I make such a serious decision?

Alistair is confused.

…………

When I set aside a little time, I said, "I want you to do it."

I put the time aside because I was a little embarrassed.

I don't like insane dialogue.

I have to say a certain dialogue after she answers.

I blush over the mask when I think about it.

But still, when I got her opinion, I decided to adopt that tactic.

"I think I'd like a central breakthrough without a small worker"

When she said that, I uttered a dialogue I had prepared in advance.

"I understand. Let's adopt it."

"Yes, okay? I chose it without thinking particularly deeply?

I twisted my neck, "No,"

"If Lord Alistair says so, so does the Goddess of Fortune."

I ran out of words.

"Heh...!

Alistair also dyes her face red to the word.

I ignore it intentionally,

"Anyway, I'll come tomorrow with a central breakthrough"

That being said, I also ordered Alistair to return to his unit.

Dropping off that hindsight, he flips and stares forward.

We haven't seen the enemy yet, but there are a lot of knights ahead of us.

I had to keep my mind shut.
