Running Away From The Hero!

# 69 Their Reason: A Soldier's Reason

“Dammit! You're not going to die? You said Imperial magic is unstoppable! ”

It was a mixture of annoying words.

They all felt the same way.

“Don't say that. What if we lose before we even fight? ”

But as squad leader of this unit, we must deny it. That was my role.

“But……. ”

“Stop. Anything more is disciplinary. ”

“… Yes. ”

In this case, you have to say it decisively.

These complaints spread from one person to another.

Because when one person speaks, the other person confronts, and the other person who heard the story agrees with it.

“You can do whatever you want when you get back, so bear with it. ”

That's not a bad thing.

It's normal for soldiers to tease officers and nobles.

Although discovery can be a big problem, the original military is a place with a long history.

If you use tricks that soldiers have accumulated for a long time, you can solve many things secretly.

So you can curse all you want.

“Survival comes first. ”

After returning alive...

“I'm sorry."

“It's okay. I get it. ”

Suddenly I started to move.

Even if it was a training, it would have been an insult, but it was a real situation.

War.

It was not unusual to lose your life at any time, but it was a sudden struggle.

Because of just one person.

“Don't forget your purpose. We must clear a path for Duke Lysha. ”

“… Got it. ”

I couldn't stop it until I hated it.

Not only are there soldiers who don't know about the current Duke of Raisha, but that's why we're suddenly entering the Empire's territory.

“I can't help it. Damn it!”

I barely stopped the swearing.

It was not once or twice that the ignorant nobleman went wrong.

Unlike us, who start with ordinary soldiers, nobles are born as commanders.

Some were trained professionally or instructed by Gossip Girl, but most of the nobles used soldiers as consumables for their accomplishments.

Among them, Duke Raisha was notoriously the worst commander in the history of the Kingdom of Mercia.

And that notoriety we were able to experience ourselves.

The invasion of the Karean Empire.

Despite one failed attempt, Duke Laisha has recklessly attacked his enemies.

The entire army has been instructed to defend themselves until a countermeasure to the Magical Bombardment of the Karean Empire is in place.

The Magic Bombardment of the Karean Empire cannot be stopped by the same magic.

There is no one in the kingdom of Mercia who does not know that now.

Enemy magic can kill an ally, but an ally cannot stop it.

Fighting was a dog's death, and after all, intercepting the enemy wizards or Mages before using magic was the only way we could survive using terrain.

However, Duke Raisha lunges with his troops, ignoring orders from such troops. It was probably a surprise to the Imperial Army.

Who would attack in a situation where death is certain?

If that's what you're after, then Duke Laisha is a great master. They overcame their fears of death, sacrificed their lives for their country, and attacked them.

But the Duke of Raisha was different.

As soon as he failed and was in crisis, he ignored the threat of wiretapping and used video magic directly on Mercia troops.

(Come and rescue me. Now!)

The upper class probably had a lot on their mind.

Duke Raisha was defeated after a war broke out across the continent.

Once, it wasn't two defeats. I just lost every time.

Rumor has it Duke Lydia's men are already in the army.

It would be in their best interest for the Imperial Army to kill Duke Raisha.

But the upper class chose to save Duke Lysha.

Although he is also a Duke, it is likely due to his political relationship with the Duke of Lycia.

Duke Rysha was a brilliant general and politician, and his followers were still influencers, both military and political.

And unfortunately, they were faithful, and they were still following the Duke of pre-historic Laisha.

Duke Laisha of the Vanguard asks you for my bad boy. enough to keep the will.

It was a pity. If they weren't loyal, none of this would have happened.

If Duke Raisha had been a wise man, he would have led the Kingdom of Mercia in a better direction with their help!

“CX.”

But the reality is like one of your men muttering.

CX.

Why was Duke Lycia the only son of a bitch ever born?

Otherwise we wouldn't be doing this shit.

“Here are the footprints. ”

But it's too late.

We have a mission, and we must do it as long as we are soldiers.

“Yes."

So we must complete the mission as soon as possible and escape.

“Trace of escape in a hurry.... ”

Grass pressed on heavy things and branches of broken or broken liver.

Anyone could see that someone had rushed out of here.

“Damn……. ”

I didn't find anything, and I was hoping someone would figure it out.

“Most likely an ally. I'm in pursuit.”

There's nothing we can do.

Hopefully, we'll find Duke Lydia soon enough, and the enemy won't find us.

“I understand.”

Ten people move quickly, keeping an eye on the area.

That way, we could find the bodies of our soldiers.

“Damn……. ”

The dead soldier showed me a lot without even detecting his eyes.

“Judging by the condition of the corpse, he just died.... ”

“No matter how long it's been, it's not going to last today. ”

Even the dog tags on his neck seemed urgent enough to take away.

I wanted to bury the body, but this is enemy territory.

All we could do was close our eyes and take the dog tags.

“That's what happens to us when we're unlucky. You know that, right?”

“ ……. ”

No one answered. I just nodded a little.

“I heard your answer. Then let's go.”

You leave a small mark on the nearby tree and start moving.

The sun is going down.

If we don't find our allies soon, things can get ugly.

“Squad Leader, we have a magical reaction. ”

"What are the odds? ”

“A sign of our allies. ”

Is he unhappy?

At sunset, we found allies.

It's just...

“You're here! Idiots!”

I got caught in a really unwanted crash.

“What? Ten people? The rest of you!”

Who are you messing with right now?

Rather, I wanted to take on Duke Lydia, who was angry and abusive.

“We are divided into squad sizes to locate General Raisha. Now that we've located General Raisha, the troops will be gathered here. ”

I'm an ordinary soldier, he's a duke and general of this country.

No matter how incompetent the military is, it goes back to class.

As a soldier, I could not deny it.

“Damn it!”

The Duke of Lycia, who kicked the ground so hard, looked at us with his pathetic eyes.

“Do you know how much I've suffered because of you? ”

It really was the Duke of Lycia who spoke for us.

“I'm sorry."

But all I could do was say what Duke Laisha had to say.

Damn it! You're filthy enough to eat soldiers.

As soon as the war is over, I'll have to clean up and farm.

Assuming, of course, you make it back here alive.

“We sent out a signal, and now our allies will gather. ”

“Hmph! Of course I'm here. ”

The more I listened, the more I listened, the more I listened.

Can we live under this Duke?

It was when I heard such a concern.

(Ah... Please contact your friends...) This is Black Bear, this is Black Bear! The Black Bear is currently under attack by the Empire.)

(This place is a red snake. On the run from an imperial assault.)

(Red bear, currently engaged.)

(This is Black Dragon. We will support the Black Bear.)

You continue to hear voices from the magic tool for contacting the Squad Wizard.

“What is this noise? ”

Don't you see that this son of a bitch is a commander?

“I'm getting word that an ally is being attacked by an enemy. ”

“What?"

I don't think he really understood.

Perhaps the souls of the soldiers who died under him are not going to the God of Death, but remain on earth and wander through the world.

Cursing this son of a bitch, waiting for the day he dies.

“It seems the enemy has intercepted the troops that are gathering here. ”

The Black Bear was the code to our regiment command. Red bears are allies of other devils bound to the same legion, red snakes are spies of the Red Bear alliance, and black dragons are the codes of our devils.

That is, to interpret…….

“I think we're surrounded. ”

It was a situation that was ambushed even by a red bear that was quite far away, unless it was simply attacked by solidarity.

“What, what? ”

I was the Duke of Lycia who was embarrassed by what I said, but I couldn't say anything.

(Blue dragon delivers. Blue Bear, Blue Wolf Extermination. Blue dragons will join the remaining red dragons.)

Our division consists of four divisions, one division and two Independent divisions.

Among them, four divisions are conducting this operation.

Satan had the code name Dragon, and beneath it was a regiment with the name Bear, Wolf, and Falcon.

So the last time I spoke to you,

“What the hell is this? Annihilation? What annihilation? ”

“One of the devils is half-dead. Blue dragon, 40 divisions. He's currently in charge of the eastern division. ”

One of the allies' retreat routes disappeared, so I was told to be careful.

“What, what? ”

“The eastern retreat is blocked, and the eastern troops are moving south. ”

“You're useless! ”

A simple code name was not something to be fooled by.

“I think you should choose. ”

But it was our mission to get this fool back.

I want to let you die if I feel like it... but as soon as I break the military law, my colleagues and my family will be executed.

So we got to get this son of a bitch back alive somehow.

Even if leaving me here to die is a path for my allies, I will choose the path I can live on!

“West, choice? ”

“Yes. If we wait here, our allies won't make it." It's hard enough to prevent an enemy from attacking us. ”

“This incompetence……. ”

It seemed like we didn't know who we were here for.

With this much memory, it shouldn't be too hard not to remember the code name.

“So we have no choice but to escape ourselves. We need to set a course and break through it. ”

Currently, the East has been handed over to the enemy.

If an ally in the east moves to the south, the south is fortified.

However, there is a situation in which a relaxed force can attack the south from an enemy force in the east.

Then retreating to the western region, which is relatively unattacked, shouldn't be a bad idea.

“Gee, wait. I need to talk to my men. ”

He didn't seem to be able to judge even one soldier.

“Yes, General. ”

I can't believe he's a general.

It was not worth going to the army.

When I'm done with the last war, I'm really quitting the army.

The idea of doing a deputy commissioner for a poor family was to carefully fold it up and think of a letter of resignation for the deputy.

“Fine, I don't need the help of stupid allies! ”

Duke Laisha said that with a very strong face.

“We retreat to the east! ”

You utter nonsense about retreating to the east, completely handed over to the enemy.

“General, there! ”

“I know. An area occupied by the enemy. But think of it the other way around. There's no commander who won't follow a half-finished, retreating enemy! ”

That's for idiots like you who hang themselves in public.

“So the troops to the east must have fallen south. We're heading east toward it! ”

Seeing Duke Lydia blabbering so confidently, I had no choice but to blame myself for the past that I didn't get discharged quickly.
