cheap psychological warfare (1)

“ ……. ”

“Cough! Cough! Cough, soldier! Are you okay?”

“That's okay, I didn't take any direct damage. It's just a trick. No harm done. Katia, how are you? ”

“Cough. Yeah. I'm okay, too. ”

I coughed constantly because of the cloudy smoke.

The first thing you notice after the smoke clears is a distorted look on the soldier's face.

I looked at my face for no reason.

It was because I had never seen his face before in my life.

It's no wonder he's making that face. There's no need to mention it. I was feeling the same way.

My hands are shaking without me knowing it.

Of course, not all of these feelings are entirely out of anger or hostility towards him.

The reason for my anxiety is that my sister is always in her condition.

‘Is he okay? No, it looked fine. I'm sure it'll be fine. ’

I will not be severely hurt.

She was acting very anxious, but once she was in the magic hologram, she seemed to be okay.

You are not being treated as a legitimate prisoner.

But at least it doesn't look like he's being tortured.

It was the same with anxiety, but it would be appropriate to say that you can sigh.

For now, all you have to do is think about being alive.

I started hearing voices as soon as I heard a worried look on my face.

“Yev Karina will be fine. ”

“Yes... ”

“He thinks Yev Karina is the word he needs, and he actually thinks it's worth it. I'm not gonna kill you or hurt you right now. I don't know why Yev Carina is working with him…. ”

“She's not like that. I'm sure you've got a weakness. ”

“Yes. I believe in Carina, too. Definitely.”

After talking for a while, those who stood around the door glanced at me to see the situation straight away.

I wanted to talk about my sister a little more, but it's first to brief the members of the incoming operation.

You know best what is best and what is best.

But I have to be a little disappointed.

There is no story of Yev Carina in the briefing of Qingzheng soldiers at hand.

What's in his eyes is Orloth's anger against the Honorary Cardinal Lee.

It's not hard to be angry.

It was the first time I had seen such excitement and insanity.

It was hard to find him as calm as usual.

Of course, there is a subtle sign from the person, although it seems to be keeping the peace on the outside.

Eyes and breath.

It's a very small signal, but it tells us that you're really angry.

He had never shown his emotions so far.

Perhaps your feelings for the military are betrayal.

When I first heard the news about the Honorary Cardinal of the Church, the military seemed to feel a kind of sympathy for him.

When he realizes his true identity and is cornered in a way that is not funny, he must have been greatly hurt by his pride.

Of course, the same is true of this magical hologram.

It is strange not to be angry when you think that it was a prank and deception from the beginning to the end.

The briefing is still ongoing despite the unnecessary sighing.

A description that is just a short but detailed explanation.

I sighed again among those who were nodding quickly.

“So... according to him, the army of Epheria is now heading for the capital of the Republic?" ”

“No, I'm not sure yet. And I can't ignore the probability that words were never false a moment ago. Personally, I think it's a lie... but the Honorable Cardinal is just like a cannonball. who inflates and inflates and overpacks himself. If we were really going to head to the capital of the Republic, we wouldn't have sent this in advance. ”

But it doesn't make a difference if you're nervous.

I couldn't just bite my fingernails, so I had to listen to the soldier's voice again.

‘There's a point. ’

What a ridiculous thing to think about heading to the capital of the republic.

If I had been in the Church, I would have done everything in my power to stop his insistence.

Timing that other wires are still taut.

Advance to the capital, it is impossible to pass before deciding not to.

The troops of the Kingdom of Everia have not even crossed the front line yet.

‘This is crazy. ’

Even if they push through the wires too hard, they'll only eat their own troops.

Such extreme decisions cannot be made.

“Well, then, sir. What was the meaning of the video just now... ”

“It's supposed to be confusing. It's all lies. It's all deception. It's performance, it's showmanship. He's putting the camera forward and acting like a clown. ”

“Performance…. ”

* * *

“It's all a show. ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. Yev Karina. ”

“It's all an act. The image you captured on camera. It's not all who you are. ”

“By the way, when did you see me, what I looked like, what I looked like? Nothing feels as bad as pretending to know a stranger, Carina. Ah. Now that you're so close to being a stranger... Hmm. Well, let's just say you have a point. ”

“All those exaggerated looks and gestures and provocative looks, they're all lies. He exaggerates that he's going to throw a bold move, and he actually thinks he's going to do it. Is that really necessary? ”

“Ah. I see what you're talking about. Every animal has a different way of surviving. Weren't there a lot of big animals on Earth when they were scared? Naturally, humans learn from nature. ”

“You'll be out of ammo soon enough. No, there's no way the military won't notice. ”

“It's not because predators are stupid. It's not because they're fools, Mr. Yev Karina. What looks like something is working better than I thought. It's a little bit different, but if you ask a guy who asks you out on a shitty date with a guy who dresses up his suit and asks you who would like to go on a date with a guy who asks you out on a shitty date, you'll pick the last hundred. It's natural. Animals are often fooled by what they seem to be. Humans are animals, too. Appearance and packaging are just as effective. Oh, and I worked so hard to deal with that disgusting look. My face is a steel plate, so there is no deal. Your face is frowning. ”

“ ……. ”

The face of a silent mouth tail shines into view as you stroke your head.

I felt goosebumps all over my body for a moment, but I couldn't say anything else.

The current situation was cursed because there was nothing I could do but quietly bow my head.

‘This man is not an idiot. ’

The more I think about it, the more I think about it.

He is never a fool.

Perhaps it is better known to the military that is watching the video than he is.

I knew the psychology of others more than anyone else, and I had no choice but to think that I was a knowledgeable person.

The magical hologram is hardly a simple psychological battle, no matter what you think.

All the lines, all the faces.

Makes me feel stimulated and focused from the beginning of the video

Treated me like an object, acting like a trifle, and all of his remarks were performance.

The user deceives the target with a light lie and recognizes that it can deceive the target at any time.

Demonstrates abilities and destabilizes the mind with useless excuses.

The same goes for the shell that exploded and the show that happened before.

All previous actions, gestures and provocations are shown.

A show designed to tell you that everything goes to the capital of the Republic.

It's strange to feel like there's no room to think.

‘He's like a cannonball. ’

I didn't think there was a word for it, but it's an understatement to compare interest to a simple cannonball.

I thought he was the kind of person who hid the truth in fake bullets.

‘You know that, soldier. I'm sure you think so. ’

“What are you going to do? ”

“Well, I'm sure you know the answer to that. Honestly, I haven't decided yet. It was to confuse them rather than convey my intentions in the first place. Actually... you know better than I do. Yev Karina. I promise you, I know what I'm thinking. ”

“No, I... ”

“You remember what I said, Yev Karina. I made it clear to them. I don't concede. That's not a lie. I've decided to go in, and I've notified them. They'll have to decide how to react. ”

“ ……. ”

“I don't concede. It doesn't matter what choice they make. ”

* * *

“It won't shake. He's not a soldier or a scribe. He's a fraud, he's an impostor, and he knows nothing but to deceive others. ”

I didn't think you were that disparaging.

However, seeing the soldier frowning, I felt something awkward.

‘You didn't want to admit it. ’

I had no choice but to think it was correct.

Of course, you don't think you're being careless or underestimating the target.

At least not that kind of person.

“The Honorary Cardinal Lee knows better than anyone that his situation is never favorable. I don't know if you know what's going on in Castle Rock, but the whole story explains it. Sending that magic hologram would also be an act to hide your anxiety. ”

“Then Lee Young, what he's after is probably.... ”

“Separation of troops. Confusion in command. What I want most is to turn my back on the troops preparing for the attack on Castlock. They're waiting for themselves to take action in some way. ”

“But, soldier, it is not only impossible for them to reach the capital of the Republic. Maybe... I can draw a picture of the Republic through Lyos... ”

“I'm sure he said that with that in mind as well. It's a common technique. If we didn't have a way to get to our capital, we wouldn't have sent this video. You're probably right to assume it's because it's possible. I think it's an expression of what the mercenary queen has in mind for Lyos. ”

“ ……. ”

“He can't abandon Casterlock. ”

“Yes?”

“I'm sure you thought so. No, I will. He can't abandon Castle Rock, but he'll come this way eventually. ”

“The military said.... ”

“…… I would have thought so long ago. It's just a trick. It's not worth listening to. ”

“ ……. ”

“Perhaps the Honorary Cardinal Lee will head to the capital. Definitely.”

* * *

“Then…. ”

“If you already know, why do you keep asking? Yev Karina. We're heading to the capital. I'm throwing away Castle. ”

“Are you... serious? ”

“Soar…. Is it true? Is it a lie? ”
