Price of Management

Nigel kicks his tongue at the silent mansion's response.

She's out of her mind. ’

I was surprised that he would react with excessive excitement to shake off the fear of the first action.

I couldn't have been so quiet unless I gave the order not to respond.

Did you read my mind? Or are you a cripple? ’

The overwhelming disparity in troops could mean that they would not deliberately try to save their arrows.

Let's give it a try. ’

Nigel wanted to see what John Spay was capable of before he could fight back.

Soon, Nigel gave the order to Jo's four thousand leagues. I've instructed you to attack the walls directly.

Then the Horn Empire forces make a swift move. Armed with shields and swords, the chargers step forward. He raised his shield in one hand to prepare for the enemy's palace, and his other hand was with a siege specialist who carried an elongated ladder with his comrades.

“Attack!”

The assailants initiated advancement to alarm 31478, fearful of command dropping. As the chargers begin climbing the garden, the archers shoot arrows and cover the wall behind them.

‘Now, what are you going to do? ’

Nigel waits for his opponent to respond.

Meanwhile, there was a commotion on the side of the Marquis of Ligand's Mansion. Enemies that have only been shooting arrows have been rushing towards you, and you are very nervous.

“Are you sure you want to get to the point? ”

John was surprised.

“I think we should respond now. ”

Bernard gave me some advice. John nods his head, giving orders in a soft voice.

“Ready all arches! ”

Then the soldiers and students took out their arrows and hung them on the bow.

John once again said.

“Come this close and I'll shoot you! Do not fire until instructed! ”

Once I was alert and approached the enemy, I was about to shoot an arrow at a moment to break Yebong's jaw.

However, it was when the Horn Empire chargers approached the walls.

Peeing!

One person fires an arrow, even though no command has been given yet. The arrow bounces off the assailant's shield. However, if the arrow was a signal, some others were also shooting arrows.

“What? Who is it?! Don't shoot!”

John shouts.

“Huh? Your firing orders yet? ”

“I'm sorry. I accidentally let go of the crossbow. ”

“Oh, don't confuse me! ”

I hear voices everywhere. The owners of the voice were students together. John sighs and shakes his head.

“Those idiots……. That's why I warned you I'd shoot you if you came any closer. ”

But something amazing happened.

Pow!

The Horn Trumpet sounds long in the Horn Empire camp. The Horn Imperium chargers, who were approaching it as a signal, retreat like a tide. Without a fight.

“What?”

John became confused.

Even the Guard Commander Bernard didn't know the language.

“I don't know. You're not going back because you're afraid of arrows. ”

The opponent is an elite soldier whose mission is to climb the walls through the raining arrows. Not if you're afraid of a counterattack.

John thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

“I guess they just tested us once. ”

“Have you seen him? ”

“Maybe. We've been crouching behind the cover ever since the battle started. If you attack properly, you've seen what you can do. ”

“One look at our level... would be bad. You put an enemy in front of you and accidentally shot an arrow without firing command, and you look like shit. They'll laugh at us.”

But John shakes his head.

“No, there's nothing wrong with knowing that we're a bunch of misfits. That's more than enough to show we're not scared. ”

John's guess was correct.

‘You didn't make a difference in troops. ’

After reviewing the house's reaction, Nigel decided not to underestimate John Spain.

Of course, when the raiders entered the walls, they saw a few arrows flying by mistake and lost their sight.

But when Nigel saw that, he knew that if John came any closer, he would fire a single shot. So I immediately blew the horn and forced him to withdraw.

I'm not afraid of a single shot, but knowing that John Spay is responding calmly is enough.

"Hey, isn't that a little harsh? This is gonna make me sick. ’

How can I be so calm at such a young age even with such a heavy weight? Even Nigel, who was recognized by all, couldn't do that when he was that age.

The user becomes angry because it thinks the target may be more talented than itself. A battle raged.

The opposing Pokémon weren't nervous because they were young, but they decided to take John's battle seriously from now on.

Nigel called the ceiling seals of the 14, 15, 16 and 17,000 pairs of joints per week.

“Shoot arrows over time, sometimes attacking chargers, and then repeating their retreat to prevent them from releasing their tension." The real fight starts at night, so there's no unnecessary damage. ”

“Old!”

The boring workshop continued into the dark.

The arrows sometimes fly over the gap for a long time, and when they're bored, the chargers surprise you by climbing up the garden. Then it was repeated without a ladder on the wall, just going back.

At this point, the students couldn't help but get annoyed.

“Who the hell are these guys? ”

“Come on, I'll give you a hard time! ”

“You're making me look like shit. You've got to be kidding me. ”

With the workshop continuing without proper bloodshed, students who were initially frightened were able to relax.

But John did not see it as positive.

‘Fear isn't over yet. ’

For the first time in my life, students are at war. Now the enemy may get bored of touching and falling once more, but the fear of war has never been erased from his mind.

‘The night is real. If there's any real bloodshed, there 'll be fear. ’

Until now, I've only repeated myself instead of just fighting, but the story changes when enemies climb up a ladder on the wall. What if people with obvious homicidal intent to kill themselves with ladders or ropes across the walls saw them climbing up in droves? I cannot be afraid unless I am an experienced white warrior. It would be horrible not to be gross.

If you think about it, you shouldn't be so relaxed now. Keep your stamina in reserve, but be prepared.

John called the student council members Lloyd and Mick back and told them what to do.

“There won't be any enemy attacks now, so don't lose your strength. But don't lose tension. The real bloodshed starts at night. It's okay for the three of you to take a nap one by one, so rest up for the night. ”

So, the system of three people was formed.

I slept one by one and ate in the restaurant one by one during my meal. John made his own preparations for the enemy's war.

John also took full advantage of the current situation and practiced a number of exercises.

Training that prepares and waits until the Raiders get close, training that they shoot at once without delay when they give the order, and training that takes out one troop and supports the other...

To supplement his inexhaustible organizational strength, John trained in real warfare.

The training went well, not only for the soldiers under Bernard's command, but also for the students to understand and cooperate with John's intentions. They all studied military science because they were shamanism students, so they knew the necessity for organization.

Thus, the actions of the Horn Empire troops that strike and drop and shoot arrows to create tension resulted in the outcome of helping with training. The training was very effective because the real enemy was right in front of me.

This impressed Bernard, the Guard Commander, even more so, as John's commander.

What a genius! How can you think like that in a situation like this? ’

At first I was anxious because I was at war under the control of a young commander, but now I have strong faith. Having been a mercenary and a veteran, Bernard was well aware of what a great commander he was. In his eyes, John was a master who knew how to create victory.

It was late.

At sunset, the red dusk waters the sky, and all things on earth begin to sink into darkness.
