Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 459: The Great Defeat

The cold north wind came on. It's a breeze that contains enough cold air to feel your body cool off your core. While enduring that cold, the Tabernacles remain silent at the headquarters of the Warlov Imperial Army.

In front of them were General Gesicana, who closed his eyes still and looked up to heaven with his arms together, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Seewa, who dropped his gaze on the paper at hand with no expression, without even trying to hide the atmosphere he seemed to notice.

"Ten thousand... five thousand... Is this an exact number?

Sheawa stares at the Tabernacles with a sharp eye. There's not a single thing that turns a gaze on that girlfriend.

"What do you think?

"Let... it's an exact number"

Answer as the young tabernacle shook his voice. Seeing how it goes, Seewa goes on to say even more.

"How did you get this number out?

"How... how?

"Earlier, I heard it was an exact number. You answered with exact numbers. So we're hearing the rationale behind the fact that the numbers in this report are accurate."

"I went to the formations in various countries and asked how many people died. Even as for our army, we're letting each squad report the number of dead people and compiling that number."

"Did you count exactly?

"What?"

"I'm asking you if you counted exactly."

"That's it..."

"Which means it's not an exact number, is it?

"No, even if they say so..."

"I want to know the exact numbers. So we checked to see if the reported figures were accurate. You reported that it was accurate. But in my current story, I meant inaccurate. You will have falsely reported me."

"Hey, come on, man."

It was Commander Chang who came in between. He restarts his seat as he daunts the giant.

"It wouldn't be such a bore to have to argue here right now"

"Boring? What is boring? People are dead, aren't they?

"Now, in the war. Come on. Naturally people die. Come on."

Commander Worka keeps his word too. He spoke in a gentle tone as he exhaled slowly.

"What we need to think about now is taking back the Dorga as soon as possible. This operation is clearly a failure. I think it's important to set up a new operation so we don't trample on the same thing."

"Then, Mr. Worka, you must plan your next operation."

"What?"

"If that's all they say, Mr. Worka will draw it up. I'm hoping for a good operation."

"Wait, that would be a different story"

"Okay, Commander Chang. You must also work with Mr. Worka to plan the operation."

"Hey!"

"Well, wait. Calm down."

It was General Gesicana who spoke up. He slowly looks around at the tabernacles, opening his mouth.

"It is fitting to reason to know the exact number of dead. Countries report more deaths. Under this circumstance, which many countries are coming to support...... If we grasp the exact real number, it will be less than the number of people reported each time. With 15,000 and 10,000 dead, the morale of the soldiers would be completely different. Seewa thinks about that."

That's it, he turns his gaze to Commander Chang and Commander Worka.

"Besides, it's going to be time for you guys to set up an operation. Forever, why don't I, Seewa, and Gigi set up an operation. Chang, Worka, plan your operation as soon as possible."

With that said, General Gesicana takes his seat. Deputy Commander-in-Chief Shiwa, Commander Gigi and Commander Toitz stood up to emulate it, and we all followed the scene. The remaining young tabernacles also left the scene one after the other, where only two remained: Commander Chang and Commander Worka.

"... what do you mean by not verifying the failure of the operation this time?"

Commander Chang mourns as he shrugs his giant. There's no point in him moaning either. The total attack decided yesterday had suffered a massive defeat of more than 10,000 deaths. Last time, the death toll of a total attack with the Headata Empire was approximately five thousand. I was giving out more casualties than that.

"I'm repeating the same mistake..."

Commander Worka sighs, too, as he tunes in to Chang.

From their point of view, they are carrying out an operation that cannot be called an ultimate strategy, just to storm the Dorga, once or twice, and as a result, they are suffering a great loss. Moreover, the majority of the damage was concentrated on the countries that rushed to reinforcements, and it was obvious that those countries were more dissatisfied than watching the fire.

What will they do with their relations with each country in addition to the challenge of recapturing the Dorga…. It took a deep sigh to think about it at the same time.

"... my brother inside, it's time"

"I know."

Meanwhile, in the city of Dorga, it was Royce and Shario, the black dragons. Shario looks at his brother, Royce, with a frightened look on his face.

In front of her were the mountains and the bodies of piled soldiers. That was eaten from one end by Royce, who solved the humanization.

"Yeah, humans, they're delicious whenever they eat. Shario, you eat too."

"No, I'm good"

"Heh, he's a far-fetched guy. It's a lot to lose if you don't know what this tastes like.

"It doesn't matter what you lose. Hurry up and humanize me, brother inside. My boundaries are the limit."

"... you have no choice"

Even at all costs, Royce begins to humanize. Shario gives a soothing look as he sees it.

... at all, it is tiring to tie the line to curtail your brother's abilities inside.

With a chilling glance at such a chario, Royce mutters with a small voice as she stiffens her expression.

"Nevertheless, there was no attack."

"Attack?"

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh No, it means King Agarta Linos didn't attack us."

"Oh......"

Shario was remembering yesterday's battle. North, east, west... He was attacked by a large army from three directions. She was on the western side with the most enemies, in command.

The enemy came for nothing and towards the moat she had built. And then they took my foot in that moat and I couldn't move. When we struck there with bows and arrows and magic from within the castle, we were able to pick up enemies as funny as possible. It was a great victory, more than I had ever imagined.

That was also true on the north side, where Royce was conducting, and naturally he was able to achieve a great victory on the east side. While in command, they continued to look for the most capable of them. But with their appraisal skills and excellent "eyes", they could not find anyone with the same horrible abilities as the Dragon King.

"Well, it's no surprise that enemies also have the skills to seal their abilities. But still, if it's an attack, it's not a story. You will have to use your skills. But... I didn't feel such a high ability at all"

"No way, you haven't come here?

"No, that's not true. We have confirmed the arrival of the Agarta army."

That's what Royce says and squeaks his jaw. In that direction, indeed, there were mountains where Agarta formed formations.

"King Agarta, there is always Linos. He must be hiding somewhere..."

"My brother inside, if you do too much, tell the Dragon King..."

"I know. Don't worry about it."

That's what he says. He laughs niggly.

"Well, there won't be an attack for a while. Until then, while eating the humans, let's say we think about our next operation. Well, I don't know what to do..."

Royce smiles with pleasure. As she watched, Shario remembered her unspeakable anxiety...
