Price of Management

“Hah… haha…! ”

Nigel sighs as if he were about to fall on a horse. You heal by pouring a healing potion, but your back is still sore and sore as if stabbed with a knife. It was because the pain of the hot flame imprinted in my head still remained.

As I ordered the retreat and ran away, I felt a hot heat behind my back.

Without looking back, he sensed that the fireball was falling this way, and the nickel, kelkran, and albert ceiling were scattered in three directions.

Explosion.

The two thousand seals were safe, but Nigel was not. Response was later than two people because most of the errors were consumed. The horse burns to death, and Nigel is burned on his back and rolls around the ground.

If the Celestial Seal hadn't poured healing potions into it and healed it, it would have died.

“Ride my horse! ”

The Kelkran Seal gives Nigel his word. Nigel, who hesitated, persuaded him.

“I still have strength, so I can take care of myself. The commander should take this and go first. I'll see you at the rendezvous point.”

The Kelkran Seal forcibly mounts Nigel on a horse and slaps the horse's butt to leave.

Nigel rode his horse for as long as he could. He was right. Since he's an Expert, he should be able to pull himself out of the battlefield unless he's targeted by Caroc ligands.

But a few seconds after Nigel's departure, the explosion sounds again behind him.

I felt a strong premonition, but I didn't have the courage to look back. Nigel grips his teeth and runs.

I don't know how long it ran.

You continue running until you hear no more of that horrible explosion.

When they retreated according to the emergency code, there was a point where the horns were scattered among the whites and the soldiers who had retreated were promised to gather. Nigel ran toward it unconsciously while he was still in the dark. There were only a few dozen soldiers by his side.

‘Almost there. ’

The closer you get to your destination, the more soldiers you join with Nigel. Nigel gripped his teeth and ran, wanting to fall.

When finally arriving at the destination, Nigel saw that there were only about 3,000 soldiers gathered there, and Qi was stunned.

“This is the only thing that survived! ”

Nigel could not keep his cool because he did not see it with his own eyes, but felt the death of his father's servant, the Celestial Seal. Officers who have survived Nigel's desperate need to vomit blood comfort them.

I fell asleep on the pavement like a cloak. And when I woke up again, my whole body was still sore, but my mind was clear. I sat down and breathed a little, but then I woke up.

“Have any soldiers arrived overnight? ”

“Yes, sir. Over the course of the night, we continued to arrive with as few as dozens and hundreds of people as possible. I'm still sleeping because I arrived late.... ”

“Let him rest. ”

“Yes.”

Nigel is exhausted and looks around at the rest of the white squad. The numbers doubled yesterday, roughly 6,000 people.

‘I was on the early side. Well, I ran relentlessly.... ’

Nigel races through fatigue with superhuman patience, but the other soldiers are not as strong as Nigel. Along the way, many of the soldiers were homeless due to their limited physical strength. I forgot how to get here, and there must be some desperate soldiers.

I looked around to see if there were any Albert Ceilings, but I regrettably didn't see them. Nigel thought it was strange.

Albert Ceiling must have had enough errors. ’

He couldn't have been resting in the middle because he was tired, and couldn't have forgotten the way he came because he carried himself out like an assistant.

“…… you're dead. ”

Nigel is devastated. What a waste of two good men. When I went back, I didn't see my father.

That day, I let the soldiers rest in peace without doing anything.

And it wasn't until the next day that Nigel got active.

“Search the area and find lost or missing soldiers. Rescue one more ally. ”

“Old!”

Over the course of four days, Nigel repairs the soldier. The total number of troops who recovered was 23,000. I didn't get a good look at Caroc Ligand's face, but more than half his troops were killed in an instant.

There was something even more exhilarating.

"It was no accident that the Celestial Seal and Albert Ceiling died. Caroc Ligand is onto us! ’

Among the surviving allies, there were no users to come, let alone Expert. Not a single person who had mastered Orb Bressing survived. This meant one thing. Killing those with errors first!

Nigel found out why he survived.

In an instant, I used most of my errors to get rid of Raell, but the amount of error left in my body was so small that I did not get caught in the senses of the caroc ligand.

‘The spiritual senses are said to be known from afar...' After all, I bought it because there was no kingdom in his heart. ’

Nigel bursts into laughter.

I wasn't smiling because I was happy to be alive. I was so angry that I laughed. Tears flowed together.

In my life, I didn't always win.

When I was a kid, I made a big mistake, and it was always a chance to try not to make any more mistakes. However, there was still a time after which the situation did not flow as intended, and I had to lose inevitably.

Whenever he did, the late Father Jurden silenced Nigel.

“After all, the way the world works is not entirely speculative by the theories we know. If you have been prepared without fail, it is inevitable. That's why everyone in the army wins or loses. ”

Nigel wanted to ask his father.

Is that something you can't do? ’

I made every effort to win. I did the best I could.

‘Nevertheless, I didn't do anything wrong, but at one moment, the consequences are too severe. ’

Nigel was furious that there was an indiscriminate being who had no choice but to retreat after such a miserable defeat. It was so unfair for Nigel to strive to become a son who was not ashamed of his father.

The great opportunity presented itself to the Emperor did not benefit Caroc Ligand, nor did Nigel's 50,000 troops who had been in command for the first time.

They must be the same people!

I've tried harder than anyone!

Compared to Caroc ligand, he couldn't appreciate his only value.

‘I want to be strong. ’

Nigel clenches two fists.

‘I will never again suffer such a shameful defeat because I am stronger. If you lose even after being so strong, then I will truly admit defeat. Caroc Ligand! "

So in Nigel's heart, the name Caroc Ligand was placed as a strong vendetta.

After staying another day and reconstructing the uniform of surviving soldiers, Nigel ordered a march after the soldiers regained some strength.

“Come, let's go back to the king. The Emperor will avenge this. ”
