Sword of the Philosopher

General's Request

Apparently, it's not an easy story... Boslo told me that me and Raifin were silent.

"As for tactics, there are two ways. Continue to endure and watch the opportunity to fight back or mount an offensive here."

Boslo puts his arms together and continues to follow us.

"Even if we set it up, it is difficult to tilt the force because it is while playing defense. This is a battle we can't even expect reinforcements. If so, there will inevitably be limited what can be done if the attack is to be carried out"

"Nevertheless, you don't seem to think much of the way to continue to endure it."

Raefin says. Boslo nodded just not to be taken for granted.

"Everyone has a concern that just protecting it will break through sooner or later... We also assume that they will endure in cages, but they are demons. If you don't bring it into the short-term showdown, you're likely to be crushed by the quantity"

With the power of the Demon Nation, it is possible to produce a certain amount of demons overnight. Especially this time the Demons should have been good at producing demons. And if the Kingdom of Alastin can't count on reinforcements...

"I mean, when you target enemy commanders,"

To my words, Boslo nodded deeply.

"As a result of gathering information on the country the Demons invaded, we know that demons move very bluntly if they destroy the commander who leads them. This probably means that the commander is given some authority to manipulate the demons. I mean, if we turn it down there, our victory will be near."

... Even in the game, it's true that the East and West armies would have disappeared if they had defeated the Commander with the remaining demonic troops around them. This definitely meant a disintegration - what Boslo was saying was correct, and on the game it must have been an expression that the troops themselves would disappear.

"So the measure we put in place is that I will first restrain the army from the north, which is our main unit, from guarding the North Gate. In the meantime, destroy the Commander who leads the demons from three directions, excluding the North. Finally, we will attack the northern army in association with the East-West knights… There is no information that the Commander's authority has shifted during the war. The Devil's side probably can't do that either. If only the Commander could be defeated..."

Boslo's operation is the same as the one he was showing in the game. First, East-West knights destroy enemy commanders. At this point, either Shelk or Attire, the Cavalier who defends East and West, will be killed in battle... anyway, the remaining forces will start moving to the North Gate after the Commander destroys them.

The battle of the North Gate is prevented by the General… After destroying the enemies of East and West, move out. The details of the operation were not discussed in detail in the game, but there will be no doubt in Boslo's talked about operation from the knights' movements.

"Here's the problem: East-West power."

Boslo tells us more.

"I can confidently say that I am elite, too. With the opponent being Kobolt, there will be plenty of winning opportunities. But the enemy commander shouldn't be a glimmer."

"... I mean, is this what the general wants to say"

I open my mouth, anticipating what the general has to say.

He said, "Let us cover it."

"That's right. I want you to help me destroy the enemy commanders, not protect the knights."

- This is a story that suits my ideals in a way. It originally assumed a form of engagement and protection near Attire and Sherk. Unlike that idea, it becomes an attacking subject, but it can definitely act with a knight.

"Lord Luon, what do you think?

"... confirmation, we have the strength to do that, don't we?

"Naturally. Lord Luon, of course, but about the other swordsman, I decided he had enough power."

I see...... but then the general gets more worried.

I have yet to ascertain what sort of separation it is, but first of all, I will undoubtedly be able to be divided between East and West. Then the general... No, the general dies after the East-West battle ends and he goes on offense. Hurry up and we'll make it...?

It's likely that the battle will feel closer to it than fighting in a game like structure... but let's just say we fly the user demon around and move as we explore the situation.

And then there's the strength of the demon commanders in East and West… Sylvie and Khuza, who are stronger than the recommended levels to reach this battle, will be able to handle it.

"Okay. So, how do we move?

"First Lord Luon and the other swordsman...... I want the two divided between East and West. Demonic movements are currently coming from three directions, except the south. There's plenty of potential to attack from the south, but for one thing, thicken the protection between East and West."

"Okay."

"The two of us left... but I want to talk to you about one thing here"

- I guess it's more the real deal from here, I guess from the inside out.

"As for the wizard man, I'll leave it to you. But about the princess..."

"When you specify a location?

"Uhm... I want to wish for the protection of the North Gate"

This is an unexpected word. If Boslo knew about Sophia, he'd rather move her to a safe place.

"Lord Luon, confirm, but did you tell the princess what I found out?

"We talked."

"Then this suggestion should wonder… but I am not a princess who snorts that I am told to hide myself somewhere safe"

"In it, why would you place it at the North Gate?

"First of all, as for the princess, I will protect her even if I take her place. And until the battle between East and West is over, let's see how they get out and promise not to move as much as possible"

Words like telling me. I'm sure that's because I expressed my concerns about the general before.

"Depending on the demonic movement, if the front collapses, instruct the princess to defend the castle and retreat"

"... I'm sorry about Sophia's trends, but let me check with you, too"

"Fine. I'd rather be me."

"And why Sophia?

"Think about what's coming."

Boslo's words are a lot heavier.

"Sooner or later, the princess will also stand on the arrow in the battle against the Demon King"

"... the General himself, when he tells you about his role?

"I won't even tell you. I don't know what it means to lead a soldier...... just thought I'd let him see it near me. But I think it's necessary, what do you say?

- I can also understand Boslo saying that. No matter how much strength you acquire, it's only a personal tale. There is no link between the ability to command an army, rather than lead an army.

By this battle, I show Sofia how to fight and tell her that - does that mean Boslo expects Sofia too?

"... the human side will have to rally its strength as we fight the Demons in the future"

Boslo still talks to me and Raefin.

"Even a battle like this one would exist. That's why I didn't think I should let you go through it. Although it may be meaningless because it does not teach the tactics themselves."

"No, I think it's necessary"

Raefin spoke out here.

"With the General, acting… I think it will mean a great deal to Sophia as well"

- Raefin used to say he wasn't sure what Sofia should do in the future. You thought telling Boslo it was "necessary" would be a push to make a decision around it.

Shortly after that thought, Raefin turned his body to me.

"I will also do my best to protect Master Sophia. Amalia and Loct also."

"... ok"

Nod. Besides, if Boslo had a princess nearby, he'd keep it about what he promised me earlier. Well, then...

"Best wishes, General Boslo"

"Um, Lord Luon, please."

Boslo replied to me to plead somewhere.
