Different Worlds Summon Day 169 [Assassin] Part 1:

Countless bodies were floating in moats full of water.

The sun has already fallen and the area is illuminated by the pale light of the pine lights.

"Hung, you look a lot like you drowned..."

Ryo Jin muttered so when he turned his eyes to the aquatic corpse floating in front of him.

There is a slight shadow in the words.

As a result of its own measures, it has caused thousands of deaths.

No one blames me for getting somewhat sentimental.

Given that I was just a high school student until a few months ago, I can tell you that my true mental strength is extraordinary.

"Yes, as Ryo Shin read, there seemed to be an overwhelming few people who could swim.

Laura answered following Ryo Trun.

Liangzhen had been thinking about successfully utilizing the abundant amount of water in the River Tebe since he decided to create Bridgetopo on the banks of the River Tebe.

Because the number of soldiers is an overwhelmingly unfavourable situation, anything that can be used naturally or anything could not survive without it.

Water is not so terrifying for modern Earthlings, especially the Japanese.

With some exceptions, there are surprisingly few people who cannot swim because they learn to swim in school classes.

But it is the story of the earth.

This earth, Earth, the world is different.

Very few humans have mastered swimming in humans who are not involved in water-related professions such as fishermen, sailors and bowmen.

Let's take that for granted, too.

Even children cannot live without being chased into their daily lives and involved in farming their homes.

There are no opportunities for swimming in forest streams, etc.

Such is the kind of child that grows up.

When I grow up, I get chased into my daily life in circles as a child.

In fact, fewer than 50 humans can swim among the mercenaries and knights commanded by Liang Zhen.

There was no way Liang Zhen would not take advantage of this when he learned the fact.

Moreover, it is the leather armor worn by the enemy peasant militia.

Leather includes water well.

You can let go of the spear, but the armor you are wearing is not easy to take off.

Inhibits sticking behavior to the skin if wet in water even when wearing regular clothes.

It was only natural for the peasants who had no swimming skills to drown and die.

"Right. How long have you been dead?

"We have not taken prisoners as you instructed. I've killed all of them, so I was wondering if we could drop 5,000 people.

The total number of enemy soldiers is 7000.

5,000 of them.

Those who drowned, those who could not retreat because they were by the fence.

All but the humans who noticed the water pushing over and returned to the opposite shore as soon as possible are dead.

Even though survival is still there, it is no longer a battle.

"The enemy forces attacking the north side were devastated, and the center and south had a little more room than the north side, so it is believed that it was the result of pulling soldiers... and we were able to sharpen the heavily equipped enemy knights considerably. This is considered a fairly fortunate result.

Liang Zhen nodded lightly at Laura's report.

A knight who solidifies himself with an iron armor helmet has a very powerful power in melee combat.

Cale was breaking into the open moat when he rushed to the front of the cavaliers that were keeping them warm.

Water struck there.

I feel helped by the impatience of the enemy commander, but Ryo Jin thought luck was also within strength.

"In the meantime, don't buy me time for a few days... just give me a preaching order to leave my watch force behind and get some rest.

Laura leaves the scene when she nods to Ryo True's instructions.

"Well... I wonder what's going on later..."

Liang Zhen shrugs when she is alone.

Ryo Trun cares about close planning and advance preparation, but he has nothing to stick to.

Either ad hoc can be considered his essence.

Make it this time a measure using water, which I would not have planned to use on this occasion right now.

It was to be used for the first time when the enemy team attacked.

(Well, defense fights are hard to see the effect, it's also true that if you don't kill them when you can, the later will be hard.

In fact, the morale of the knights is boosted by the overwhelmingly inferior themselves piling the bodies of enemy soldiers with mountains.

Naturally, the accuracy of Ryo's true command was demonstrated in a visible way.

Besides, it has also greatly reduced 65,000 enemy soldiers to 60,000.

(Well, this makes that measure easier to use, okay... how the enemy's main unit moves later... I hope you don't move until Princess Lupis gets here like this... MAN! Is that possible? Make it Lord Gerhardt. Make it General Hodrum. There's no way you're gonna back off in silence like this.

The next time an enemy strikes, they should be quite prepared.

And they should be set up before the arrival of the main unit led by Princess Lupis.

(1 day to hear the situation from this survival. Two days to prepare to attack down the information I heard. I would have bought at least 3 days... 4 days including today. If we can buy three days' worth of time, we win.

There is a grin on Ryo's true face.

(The more time the enemy uses to prepare, the more advantageous I am. Conversely, even if our enemies rush in, we're ready for this one, so we can handle it adequately.

Whether Liang Trun's reading is correct.

I don't know that unless it's all over.

Because no one will know the outcome until the battle is over.

"You... you showed up in front of me so well... I will only praise you for your courage.

Lord Gerhardt's cold voice is slapped into Kale.

Time is already late at night.

Lamp lights were still leaking outside from the office of Lord Gerhardt's mansion in the castle fort city of Iraklion.

Normally Lord Gerhardt is already in his bedtime.

But not today.

During the day, 7,000 soldiers, led by Kyle, came back devastated.

I couldn't wait to sleep very much.

"Ha! My sincere apologies.

Kale bowed his head.

I can also say that there was no other option left to him.

"4,000 conscripted peasant militiamen, 1,000 knights... that's a lot of economic defeat.

Lord Gerhardt looks at the documents given to him by his deputy.

It seems that a human being becomes calm and sensible about the time he feels truly angry.

At least Lord Gerhardt is like that.

"Ha! Sorry.

Kale bowed his head again.

"I don't care about the peasant militias, but I'm not saying I don't know the value of the knight I lent you.

Power is added to Lord Gerhardt's voice.

Fact It is a knighthood of tiger sons collected over a number of years.

Anyway, if you brought that into melee, you can't help but remember your anger as Lord Gerhardt if you lost half of it because you were nestled in enemy tactics.

Not to mention it was Kale who bought the talent of battle and turned it back from the Knights.

For buying his talent, that recoil also makes him disappointed.

"Ha!... sorry......"

Kale just throws up words of apology like a parrot and bows his head.

I know he wants to say more attentive words himself, but the situation doesn't allow it.

If you make a bad excuse, that's the only way you can be discerned from Gerhardt.

There was no room left for him to make any excuses.

"But you... you survived well?

Lord Gerhardt shrugged as he dropped his eyes on the paperwork.

"Because the horse swimmed me on..."

"Ho, I wondered if Washi had come back to desert his soldiers again without shame or outrage.

A painful irony flew from Gerhardt.

Kale endured Gerhardt's insults desperately.

There is no other option.

Fact is, it was nothing but luck that Kale survived.

Cale, who was about to get out on the front line, was moving around half way through the open moat.

And there came a wall of water.

In the front, back, left, and right, the knights are consolidating Kale's neighborhood without gaps, and he can't move.

Sometimes he was wearing iron armor, and Kale, like the other knights, was supposed to die in the water.

It was the horse he was riding that changed its fate.

Kale's own dumping of the detachable part of his armor also greatly affected him.

Coincidence or luck?

The horse with him swallowed by turbulence, but he swam desperately and managed to reach the opposite shore.

Put Kale on that back.

"Well good. I'll put your disposition behind me.

Hearing Gerhardt's words, Kale stroked his chest down in a ho.

Given Gerhard's character, it was no surprise he was sentenced to death.

No, it's weirder not to make it a capital offense.

The damage done by Kale is so great.

"What are you relieving? I don't kill. But I won't forgive you.

Kale froze on Gerhardt's words.

"Well fine. You can back off for today.

Gerhardt waves and urges him to leave the room.

"Well... now if you'll excuse me.

Kyle quickly walked out of the office as he bowed his head.

As if fleeing.

"Hun. Incompetence!

After Cale left the room, Gerhardt vomited words of contempt.

The words themselves are very short, but the malice put into them is strong.

"May I? Leave me alone.

"So you're telling me to dispose of Kale now?

The deputy nodded at Gerhardt's words.

"An idiot. Do you think that fool's life will fill this damage?

Gerhardt had already abandoned Kale.

I missed his disposition not to give him a chance to have pity or recurrence.

Give them an effective place to die in order to fill the hole in the loss they have suffered this time at all.

That's why I put my disposition on hold.

"The peasant militia doesn't care. But I didn't expect to damage the Knights... those fools!

There is absolutely no such thing as war.

No matter how advantageous, when you lose, you lose.

But even if I understood it, Gerhard's anger would never go away from his heart.

(The time is too bad... now that Hodrum has joined, he doesn't want to suffer the kind of scratches that can be put in his pants...)

Now that we are negotiating with General Hodrum as to which one will take the lead, the outcome will be a great shackle for Gerhardt so that he can question the command of the war.

Hodrum himself is a man who, as a general, has presided over the military of the Kingdom of Roselia for the past decade.

In contrast, Gerhard has been involved in internal affairs.

Originally, it is natural for the flow to entrust command to General Hodrum.

Most of our soldiers were noble soldiers below Lord Gerhardt.

Gerhard himself understands that.

But then Hodrum could take everything away from me.

(I know his ambition. If you delegate command poorly, you're definitely going for the neck of the eagle. That's what he is... Damn, if he's a little less ambitious, I can safely entrust him with command...)

Even Gerhardt's ability to play Hodlum is a difficult battle force.

That's why I accepted him as a disappointment.

But if I had accepted and met him, I could see that Hodrum's ambitions had not changed a bit from before.

No, I still felt more of an effort to hide my ambitions when I was in charge of Princess Lupis as the leader of the Knights' party.

Now that you've decided you don't need it anymore, when you're a hungry wolf, your desires are hanging from his body.

(You can't even count on Sudo's prophecy... was it still a mistake in itself to believe the words of such a person and accept the hodrum?

A figure of a man floats behind Gerhard's brain.

The man who obeys Princess Ladine is the one who proposed to Gerhard the acceptance of General Hodrum.

And he is also the person who linked Princess Ladine to Gerhardt.

A mediocre face that seems to be everywhere.

The physique is middle meat and mid back.

When it comes to the only features mentioned, are they black hair and eyes like darkness?

There are only a few people, including Gerhardt, who have met him even in the aristocracy, because he does not always leave Princess Ladine's side.

(No... Sudo's Prophecy Hodorum is a valuable force... considering the knight we lost in this battle, its worth more... the question is the strength of that ambition...)

As for the extreme story, Gerhardt, I'm not dissatisfied with Hodrum taking over the real power of the military.

Because I understand that it is not as easy as words say to hold everything in the Kingdom of Roselia.

What Gerhardt wants is not to be infringed on his vested interests.

It's just that.

(But there's not much time left... if the main unit led by Princess Lupis arrives like this, the war situation could lean to the other side at once.

Peasants are weak but strong at the same time.

I follow Gerhardt only because he is a lord and at the same time overwhelming Princess Lupis in the number of soldiers.

But what happens if Princess Lupis' main unit arrives without being able to destroy the 2,000 soldiers that Gerhardt built Bridgetop?

The peasants doubt Gerhardt's power.

Originally speaking in terms of legitimacy, more than Princess Lupis has a minute, it can be dispersed once and for all with suspicion to the power.

If you think about it, including from that point of view, Kale's defeat is not enough with the mild word painful, etc.

(Could it be fatal...?... No... not yet... we haven't decided on a battle yet.

Gerhardt shook his head as if to shake off his weak heart.

(Think about Kale's disposition later... you enemy commander. Don't hang up on me... do you still have a shot at turning this guy off?

Even if he scorns you for being a fool, Kale is a delicacy Gerhardt put back to sleep in anticipation of that talent.

Gerhardt's side would benefit if he could assassinate enough commanders to beat it.

(You've been contacted once that the assassination failed and stayed put... surely the assassin should have been stranded in enemy mercenary units as a spy "spy"... then he should be among the mercenary units led this time... look at the gap and see if it's possible to assassinate the commander...)

Gerhard had a terrible grin.

It is disposable anyway, such as assassins.

Besides, the enemy is likely to float to victory and become less guarded.

(Of course now if you want to...)

"Immediately order the assassination of the Commander to the spy who is in the midst of the enemy formation! Hurry!"

"Ha! Immediately!

The deputy immediately leaves the office.

"Kukukuku! He'll show you things in his eyes!

Gerhard's voice echoes in the office.

His ambitions had yet to fade.
