Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 136: The respective operational meetings

More and more clouds cover the sky. And the rain that started to fall is gaining some momentum, creating puddles all over the place.

On a small, high hill on a meadow stretching over the Agarta Nation, you can see the soldiers of the Ramaron Nation. The population, which was small at first, also gradually increased in number, and a few hours later became a large army that filled the entire hill. At the heart of this is Giseu, the commander-in-chief of the Agarta National Dispatching Army. He looks around satisfactorily at the soldiers he welcomes.

"Are we all here?

"Ha, it's the last in the Commander-in-Chief. We have them all."

"What's the levy on annual contributions?

"As ordered, we have completed the collection"

"What's the damage to the soldiers?

"No. In some areas it seems to have become a skirmish, but we have completed the levy without any problems"

"What happened to those who interrupted the collection of annual contributions?

"All executed."

"I guess you did it thoroughly, huh? Fine. The point is, all you need to do to control the people is fear. Give it to me, and I can squeeze it out of the people as much as I can. Right, did you execute all the people who got in the way? Well done. Nihihihihihi"

Giuseau chuckled in a good mood. At the heart of the army are gathered a handful of cargo carriers of annual tribute that they have collected everywhere. When I see it, my face naturally comes down. Giuseau gives orders to the soldiers.

"Open a military debate. Gather the Tabernacles.... the rain is getting stronger. Hey, junctionists. Protect the carrier of the annual tribute. Never get anything wet, especially one with wheat in it!

The bureaucrats began to gather around Giuseau.

"Ha, uh. I'd do something without eggs. Isn't it the Great Demon King?"

I was stunned to hear reports from the Fairy Dragons. The soldiers of Ramaron took away most of the crops that the inhabitants had so desperately harvested. Some villages seem to have turned into small fights trying to stop it, but they say all of them were executed by Ramaron soldiers. Not only that, but they also worked pretty rough against the residents, apparently.

"I don't know what the Lords are going to do. I feel sorry for the Lords."

I looked up to heaven in my room at the headquarters of the Royal Army. And he rang the bell and called people, asking them to tell those who were the Lord, including Rico, who was packing them in the same building, to gather in the room.

Everyone gathered quickly. Kunogen opens his mouth making sure everyone gets to their seats.

"So, what do you want to do? Do you want to keep seeing how the Ramarons are doing?

"No, when they bring food back to Ramaron, won't the people starve?

The face of a worrying Lafayence. Rico pinches his mouth against it.

"No, the country's harvest is going well so far. It's possible to make up for it with taxes that gather from all over the place."

"No, let's crusade the Ramarons. Making them like this doesn't suit my sex. Retrieve the food they took. General, Knogen, let's go. May, Gon, I'm sorry, but I need you to prepare a junction stone just for the number of soldiers. Immediately."

"Yes, sir."

Kunogen and the Gons leave the room behind and are rushed to prepare for launch.

"Well, that Ramaron army crusade operation..."

"Well, it's an operation... but it's still gonna have to be an ambush"

Lafayence shrugs with a distant eye.

"The only way to deal with 10,000 soldiers with 2,000 soldiers is to ambush them. Proceed to the forest along the Irvej River. The only way for the Ramarons to return to the country is through there. Besides, that road is narrower because it's a mountain road. We have no choice but to travel in a single line in any great army. It's the most effective way to poke there."

"Okay. Let's go with the general's operation. Let's go!"

Me and Lafayence left the room early. But for some reason, Rico leaves the room with me. The old general, who saw how it was, left with an eye for me.

"Linos."

"What's up, Rico?

Rico didn't say anything and hugged me.

"Be sure to come home safely."

"I'm fine. When Rico hugs you and sets out, you're bound to win. So I'll be fine this time. I may not be back tonight, but I will definitely be back"

"I'm sure, aren't you?

I took my body away from Rico and headed to the south gate where Illimo was connected early.

"All right, are we all set! We're going out!

The Agarta National Army 2000 horsemen jumped out of the capital with tremendous momentum in the rain.

On the hill, Ramaron army chiefs gathered around Giseu, the commander-in-chief, and military discussions were taking place while on horseback. Giuseau opens her mouth, abominably paying for the rain that falls.

"First, divide the army into two hands. As an advance team, divide Soldier 1000 into five teams and put 5,000 soldiers ahead. The rest of the soldiers will go to the Empire to defend their food."

"I'm afraid..."

"Listen to the end of the story!... the advance team 5000 must hurry south along the Irvej River."

Giseu continues the conversation by pointing to the Irvej River, which is visible far ahead.

"And when you get to the forest along the river that runs all the way to the border, camp there tonight. And tomorrow morning, proceed through the woods. At that time, divide that forest, which runs all the way to the border, into five areas. The advance units will take charge of their respective areas and protect them until they arrive."

"I'm afraid, may I ask why?

"Big fool! To keep the Agarta people from attacking my army! We are overwhelmingly advantaged by force. If we were to fight like that, it would only be an ambush. Where's the perfect spot to hit us? It's a forest that runs all the way to the border. The road is narrower over there on the mountain road. If you let soldiers lurk in the woods with the great army, even the widows will strike a blow at us. Pick that possibility!

"Oh, that's the Commander-in-Chief."

"Leading units head to the forest entrance. And our main army proceeds while defending food. Okay? Okay, let's go."

The Ramaron army, under Giseu's orders, moved quickly.

"Yeah? What is this?

After a while running the horse, there was movement on the map. And at the same time, a report came in from Sadakichi on the Fairy Dragon.

"Enemy split in two hands?

A team of Ramaron troops is moving east with great momentum. And neither are the follow-on troops, not so fast, but following the advance troops at about the speed of a person's run. Once I stop marching, I order the soldiers to rest.

"Lord Linos, what the hell is wrong with you?

Lafayence advances a horse near me.

"Enemy troops split second-hand. The advance team is moving east with tremendous momentum."

"No way...?

"If we keep going like this, we might get caught up with the enemy army. Let's see how it goes. Because of this. Let's make it look good."

I descend from Illimo, and when I put up a rain-fed junction, I will accommodate the army there and distribute to everyone the lunches that have been available since yesterday. And as he ate the meshi and often spent a neat amount of time, it appeared on the map that the advance party of the Ramaron Army proceeded towards the forest along the Irvej River. And after a while, reports also come in from Sadakichi.

"The enemy's advance team seems to be aiming for a forest along the Irvej River."

"Are you telling me... that our operation was known to the enemy?

"No, General. Don't think that's different. Probably means that some of the enemies were as knowledgeable as the general"

"Well, what do we do...?

Lafayence is thinking with his hands on his chin. I open my mouth as I watch the enemy move on the map.

"It's been a while."

Watching the map and listening to the reports of the Sadakichi and the soldiers. The soldiers were spending their thoughts in the conjuncture. Some of them take naps.

Near evening, the advance troops stopped near the forest entrance. The Fairy Dragons report says they're ready for camp. And the movement of the follow-on troops also stopped, and Koitz and the others began to prepare for the camp.

"You're probably going to camp at a subtle distance. At this distance, if either unit gets attacked, you won't be able to make it to the rescue."

I'll draw a map on the ground and tell the soldiers where the enemy is.

"Well, follow-on troops are transporting food, so this must be it. Instead, they're treading that even if we attack them, they can repel them."

Analyze Knogen as he cuts the bar and points to the enemy's successor. Hearing it, Lafayence opens his mouth with an excited voice.

"Do you want to make a night raid?

"No, General, let's not. I'm sure the enemy will assume that enough too. Plus, some magicians will have signs detection skills. Well, it's sleeping at night, so let's camp here today, too. The showdown is tomorrow, right? Tomorrow, we will attack the next army."

"Attacking the succeeding army...? Aren't we supposed to be caught in the crossfire?

"No, you fight as close as you can to the succeeding army so you don't"

"But Lord Linos, this area is definitely supposed to be a wide meadow area. Even though our enemies are divided, they are twice as powerful as ours. There's nowhere to hide. You bump into them from the front in the flat, we're not gonna win, are we?

"About that, I have an operation. I just have a lot of soldier practice in this..."

"Oh, then I'll take care of it! These are the ones I raised by hand salt. He's sophisticated enough not to break the line even in the dark and storm toward his target without making a single sound."

Lafayence is confident and chest tight.

"You guys, is that true? I know you're pretty skilled, but only for a month. There... you okay?

When I look at the soldiers, they all laugh bitterly.

"You can see how rigorous the training of generals is."

Kunogen is laughing bitterly too.

"Okay, okay. You want me to show you the results of the general's training?

I looked evil and looked at the soldiers.
