Chapter 5, Episode 23 [Bicep's Poison Tooth] Part 9

Full of starry skies.

In Jomtien, the moon that depicts the true circle illuminates the surrounding area with a brilliant "like this".

That is truly the best view.

Something that gives you a sense of vision and potential for an infinite universe. Rich in mystery and artistry, it gives peace to people's hearts.

But there was no room for the humans who were now beneath us to enjoy such a flair.

Yes, both factions of the Army of Michizaki and the Army of the Earl of Salzberg, which ended the battle that took place during the day...

"Excuse me. I will. We're here to report you."

Liang Zhen stopped the movement of the pen he had in his hand on the words.

All the paperwork I'm processing right now is high-priority stuff that I need to check myself out, but there's no reward I've been waiting for as much as his take and Laura's report right now.

"Laura... come in"

Following that voice, the entrance to the tent was only slightly opened.

From then on, it was one goddess who laughed as she rocked her wavy gold hair.

The moment I see the grin on her face, I give peace to Ryo True Heart, who nerves the battle.

"Looking at that face, it looks like you've done a lot of damage."

"Yes. Thirteen dead so far. There are twenty-two injured persons alone. However, those seriously injured are treated with secret medicines and grammar, so there is no risk to their lives. We expect to return to the Corps in a couple of days, waiting to recover health. Also, reports are rising that most of the casualties are caused by two examples."

"Right..."

To Laura's report, Liang Zhen laid her body deep on the back of the seated chair as she took a deep sigh.

What the hell were the thoughts filled in that mind?

People die by their own lives.

Instead of accidents or force majeure, you order them to fight and die on the battlefield from the beginning.

Though it is the natural duty of the profession of soldier, the order is so heavy that it cannot be assumed by ordinary human beings.

(I'm not used to it... well, people who get used to this thought are less than scumbags...)

It would be a contradictory thought.

Even now, Liang Zhen has ordered them to die.

It is not that there was no danger to the lives of soldiers when crusading monsters roaming the peninsula or when the surrounding nobles ordered them to come and finish off the secret detectives they had sent in.

Of course, it is true that Ryo Jin went through a variety of measures and supplied the soldiers with the best weaponry they could.

But the dead came out, trying to give them expensive weapons, no matter how much of a plot they took.

What I feel every time is the filth of my place and the need.

At the end of the day, the world remains the same whether it is Earth or another world.

It means no sacrifice, no achievement, and that the man who stands on top moves forward at the expense of others.

That is terribly cruel and ruthless.

I also know that it is very unacceptable to stand and think on the side of being sacrificed.

But even God could not create a world where no one would sacrifice it.

It would be something that God would not want in a man without.

Then there is only one path you can truly take, Ryo Shiba. It would only mean that I would carve the sacrifice into my chest and make an effort to reduce the sacrifice at all.

"This proves two things at the same time: that these two are real monsters, and that my army is more than the armies of the surrounding marquis."

"Yes, the performance of the weapons purchased via Dear Nersios is astonishing. Anyway, in other countries, ten pieces of gold is like a piece of crap."

"Well, it was performance as expected."

Liang Zhen broke my heart the most during this battle. That was to say how to protect the lives of soldiers.

Originally, the population of the Waltenia Peninsula was zero. There is a peninsula peculiar circumstance in which the settlements in which the subpeoples live exist, but they cannot be charged taxes or walls from them hostile to humans.

Given the leap ahead, territorial expansion is imperative no matter what, but we have to fight other countries to expand, and we need troops to do that.

However, it is difficult to conscript the inhabitants and push them in numbers, as in other countries.

It's a really contradictory situation.

Ultimately, the army managed to structure itself by buying and collecting slaves, but when considered in terms of costs, slave soldiers can be described as very high.

Very much like the ruling class of other countries, it could not have been able to operate such operations as using less than insects such as civilians.

When that happens, the only way left is to improve the quality of each and every soldier.

Naturally, killing a soldier who spent such laborious time nurturing him in vain is a great damage.

So Liang Zhen focused on the technique of granting spells held by the sub-people, especially the Elves.

Even now, throughout the western continent, armaments supposedly produced by the subpeoples in the past still exist, because they are traded at high prices because of their performance.

"Lightening and curing are both common grant effects, but I think that efficiency is quite difficult to reproduce in the human species"

"Plana consumption has a huge impact on wins and losses on the battlefield. Was your deal with Mr. Nersios correct after all..."

The performance of the armor helmet is predominantly due to the material and thickness.

Stiff, sticky, as thick as possible, then as light as possible.

Subhuman technology that can combine these conflicting elements is covetous to the fighters.

(In the meantime, I will never let this information get out to the outside world... do you want me to order the Iga Saitama people to be more vigilant?)

Wearing the weapons purchased from Nersios, the soldiers can greatly improve their strength and ravage other countries. But that's the difference in the performance of the tool.

Tools don't pick enemy allies.

Of course, you won't be able to replicate the technology so easily, assuming the weapons were stolen, but only pick the buds of anxiety.

(But now we have a firm policy for the future...)

A number of measures had already been taken in Liang Zhen.

All you have to do is choose the best possible solution from the current situation.

(It is unlikely that even this difference in troop strength will break the front line if we are thorough in our defense. The question is what to do with the two examples)

Signis and Roberto. These two men can dictate the state of war on their own.

Ryo Jin will prove that he ate through the enclosure of the soldiers raised by hand salt.

The most certain thing is to order the Iga Saitama to assassinate him. Or I would direct the Earl of Salzberg to kill them both, but as Ryojin, I wasn't going to choose either of them.

He's a terrible opponent if he's an enemy. God only knows what will happen if they come after Ryo's true neck without regard for their own life and death.

(But... there's never been a more reliable presence on my side)

Ryo True Hope is not the rule of northern Roselia. It took a lot of good people to shape his imaginary dreams. To do this, even if it is an enemy, it has just enough weight to be on your side.

We're going to have to fight.

"I will lead five hundred soldiers left in the fort south..."

The moment I heard the word, Laura's shaped brow moved pickly.

"Yes, I did. So I'm in charge of the front line?

"Oh, I'll leave it to Laura. Ask Mr. Rione to assist you."

Laura just nodded quietly at Liang Zhen's words, which cemented her resolve. Because she understood all Ryo True's aims...

This is how the first day of the battle, arguably a small hand-check, came down as different thoughts crossed.
