Running Away From The Hero!

Ambition - Memories of a Lady (40)

# 52 Their Reason: What a madman's Reason is

“Aren't you dying? ”

“Maybe, maybe not. ”

The chief who answered the question did not express any emotions.

It was an act of executing orders as a member of the military.

“Wouldn't it be better if the whole company of Satan moved together to contain it? ”

Those with magical abilities in the military are very advanced personnel.

Even if he wasn't a master of the sword or a great sorcerer, the knights, wizards, Mages, and summoners were of considerable quality.

Even Satan had fewer numbers than the generations of ordinary soldiers.

I can't believe they split up into four or five people per Madosan.

I know it's crazy, but it's crazy.

“Yes, you can. ”

The promo just kept going forward as if it were nothing.

“Don't you think it's better to have an opinion? ”

“We are soldiers. When the order comes, it's your job to execute it. ”

“But Astra is the one who gave the order, not you. ”

“And you said yes. ”

“But……. ”

“I had to go before the battle to talk. It's too late. We have to do what we're told. ”

“I understand.”

I didn't need any more words from him. We just have to act to do what we're told.

“We'll be arriving at the enemy supply line shortly. Everything in the supply corridor is a target of attack, so be prepared. ”

“I understand.”

Five of the Tributes replied.

We have only one mission. Attacking enemy supply lines.

Actions were simple too.

First, you attack the enemy's supplies, but you don't have to do any damage.

Secondly, attack with long-range attack as accuracy is irrelevant.

Last but not least, the wizard's artillery or the enemy mado will be on the run.

That is, pretend not to fight, but to attack.

“I don't know how long it'll take. ”

I nodded my head at the words of the other Tributes.

Cutting off enemy supply lines would certainly be a good attack, but just pretend to do it.

It would be useless if it weren't for the purpose of placing more troops in the supply depot and making them drop out of our current troops.

“Sir Ast is a man who exalts even the director. You should keep trying until you get the rating of failure. ”

However, the promo was resolute.

Rather, I was also reprimanded to reduce my speech to save my magic.

Well, it wasn't a false directive.

This is the territory of the enemy. It was also active at high altitude, so we had to use magic to talk.

I don't use that much magical power, but I definitely need to save it.

As we arrive at the enemy supply corridor in silence, we move at a very slow rate and check the enemy's movements in the air.

“Three o'clock. Mass migration confirmed. ”

There is only one reason Madosa travels from high altitude.

Moving above the range of Magic Detection to avoid being pinpointed by enemy wizards or magic tools.

On the contrary, it is said that even the Mages cannot locate their enemies using magic.

That is, our way of identifying our enemies was very primitive.

“I don't see it. ”

“Use the telescope, idiot. ”

Use of pure tools, not magic.

The telescope, which was studied to observe the stars, was paid to the individual Madosa.

However,

“I can't see very well. ”

“Find the light. ”

I had to make the unit price as small as possible, so I really needed to look at it more closely so that it looked like a person.

“Oh, is that it? ”

“You're not an animal, are you? ”

“Cao Cao, is it confirmed? ”

The higher the rank, the better the telescope performs.

Of course, the difference between a regular Madosa and a Chosun Madosa equipment is not so different, but it's certainly a little better than ours.

“The number is roughly a hundred people. I don't see a wizard. ”

Joe finally took out a potion from his pocket that restores his magical strength.

“Khh……. I can't get used to this potion. Why don't you put some alcohol in it to make it taste better? ”

“Drinking on a mission? ”

“That's what I'm saying. It's too tasteless, isn't it? ”

“I can make it tasty, but they say the unit price will go up. ”

“His damn unit price. ”

“You have to bear with it because it pays our salary. ”

One bottle, two bottles, three bottles. I drank the given Magic Recovery Potion hard.

The two bottles were potions that immediately restored their magical power, and the remaining bottles were potions that sped up their recovery.

This has restored all the magical power consumed by the flight so far and allowed you to retreat safely even after attacking your enemies.

“Prepare to attack! ”

You take out the small staff on the promotor's orders.

A long-range magic wand with a small staff, but exceptional power.

The marshal said it cost more than your lives, so even if you die, the staff was expensive enough to return it and die.

“What kind of magic would you use? ”

“Normally, I would use wind magic to assassinate, but the task at hand is chaos. Explosive magic. ”

“I understand.”

Collect magical power from the staff and prepare for explosive magic.

Long-range magic like this increases the amount of magic used the farther away, but reduces its power.

To reduce the waste of magical power as much as possible, I used a form of magic that was easy to compress, but this time was different.

“Blow it as loud as you can! ”

“Yes!”

The compression was an impossible explosive spell.

Use that magic for long-range snipers?

It transforms into a firework firecracker, unless it is a massive sorcerer's magic coalition.

How you would never use it if it were the same.

However, Astra, our commanding officer, wanted something strange like this.

“Fire!”

Five red flashes flashed with the Cao's orders.

“This is even better from the looks of things. ”

It is a distance so far that you can't even hear the thunder, but you can clearly see the flames burning from afar.

“Good riddance. ”

“What's the enemy's damage? ”

“Mmmm... I can't see very well, but there appears to be no fatalities. ”

“Supplies?”

“Some of the wagons are on fire, but they're being extinguished quickly. It doesn't seem to work at all. ”

“Really?"

With the telescope, we quickly began to return to the seriousness of our allies.

There was no chase.

That alone was enough to give the enemy information about the existence of Magister.

It's been ten days.

“It's pointless. ”

No, it's a loss.

Despite drinking the lowest Magic Recovery Potion, you attack your enemies at least once a day.

That means you drank at least 3 bottles of your lowest Magic Recovery Potion a day.

The materials required to restore magical power were so expensive that even the Empire could not ignore them.

Even if the lowest Magic Power Recovery Potion diluted in water costs hundreds of people 3 bottles a day, an enormous expense will be charged.

“Wouldn't it be beneficial to share potions with the wizards in an all-out war? ”

With that money, you can get at least three large enchantments if you give the Wizards a few bottles of the best potions.

“What the hell was Lord Ast thinking running this operation? ”

Cho, who was listening to me, raised his head and looked at me.

“Do you really think it's meaningless? ”

“That's right.”

“That's why you can't get promoted. ”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, I was embarrassed by what the promotor said.

“W-what does it matter! ”

I failed my last promotion, and I can't believe I'm hearing this!

“You're too much, Cho! ”

I was angry, but Cho didn't give me any answers. I just make a quiet smile.

“Chow?”

The moment I saw that smile, I felt creepy.

It was a promotion that did not smile well inside the military, but also when enjoying private life outside the military.

The man who was quietly carrying out the task given to him smiles like this!

“Lord Ast... he's a very interesting man. ”

Even the director rarely praises him, but he praises Astra, who is almost like the first time he's ever seen her.

“What does that mean? ”

“What does that mean? I mean, he's literally funny. ”

“Why……. ”

“Think about it. If you are going to end your life as a normal soldier, you should be able to see a little more if you want to be a bigger person. ”

“Yes……. ”

I thought about it for a moment, but nothing came to mind.

As I looked like that, Cho sighed for a moment and uttered a ominous sound that he thought the next test would fail.

“What was the status of your enemies today? ”

“You looked very angry. ”

“Yes. There was also a Mado who was chased and shot down after his advancement. ”

“That's right.”

Cho, who was watching me silently for a moment, sighed again.

“I didn't realize. ”

The next test will fall by 100 percent.

The promoter who uttered such an ominous sound explained why he had said it.

“Does it bother you if a mosquito bites you in the summer? ”

“That's right.”

Summer uninvited, mosquitoes. The dirty little subject has a loud snort.

I wanted to ignore it because it was small, but mosquitoes that made me itch and suck blood were hard to ignore.

“One bite from a mosquito will make you itch. ”

“That's right.”

“But he's not dead. They say you can move the disease, but it's death by disease, and it's not death by mosquito purely, is it? ”

“That's right.”

“Sucking a mosquito's blood doesn't kill it. It's just itchy. Ten bites will do the same thing. ”

“That's right.”

It's annoying and itchy whether you bite a mosquito once or ten times.

“Even if a hundred bites, no mortal will come out of the mosquito's bloodshed. ”

“That's right.”

I nodded, and Cho once again smiled strangely.

“That's what the Kingdom of Mercia is like now. ”

“Yes?”

“We are the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes suck the blood of their enemies. I'm wandering around with my eyes wide open, bothering people. ”

“What the……. ”

“I told you this far and you didn't know it. I can't afford to be promoted this year or next. ”

It was a sad promotion as if I could see my future.

“I'm good, but I don't have enough kids. ”

“Jo!”

When I shouted out loud, I looked at us as if one of my colleagues had just returned from the shower.

“Kid, you're stupid. ”

“Oh, was that it? ”

I felt weird about my colleague passing by like it was nothing.

What's that? What's that supposed to mean?

“You said that with your mouth when you first set sail. Wouldn't it be better if the whole division moved together? ”

“I did.”

“What was the reason? Let's make a strong assault to be sure, that was your opinion. But Sir Ast? ”

“Share and share.... ”

I divided one squad in half and gave five to the Cadet to run it.

“No way…. ”

“Yes."

Joe finally looked to see if he understood, but I couldn't answer.

“You mean the enemy is still bitten by mosquitoes? ”

“Yeah. That's not one place either. He's got his hand on his head, he's got his hand on his leg, he's got his hand on his leg, he's got his hand on Danny's back. ”

He was clearly showing his presence everywhere, but he couldn't do any harm.

“So what happens? ”

Of course,

“You're gonna be pissed. ”

“What if I get pissed? ”

“It'll pop out.”

“What if it pops out?”

It's very simple.

“You can eat it. ”

“Yes. All we have to do now is prepare to eat. ”

And as expected, the enemy forces focused their strength in one place.

To avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, even one mosquito comes in strong and tight and starts to gather again and again.

And so, for the first time, Astra, our commanding officer, appears before us.

“I've been through a lot. Now that you're all set, why don't you drop the bombs? ”

An astronaut who summons mados to explain his plans.

Looking at such an art, I remembered a passage from a novel I had read a long time ago.

< Thus, the devil who opened the cruel festival smiled with satisfaction. >

Astra, who is building a smile that perfectly matches that verse, bombed the first Imperial Horse of War in the heart of the Kingdom of Mercia.
