Mess

“Don’t bully my kids.”

Rai, reflected on the screen in the central plaza, looked down with a cheeky smile.

After breaking through the encirclement, Lai’s unit ran out and saved the squad that escaped his unit.

The number of academy students chasing the group is no more than fifty, so when they meet Lai’s main force, they collapse helplessly. As the squad left, Lai’s forces were also divided, but the academy students’ forces were also divided.

Lai, who has been declared dead and puts his foot on the back of the soldier who is holding his corpse, looks down at Kenya, who participated as Aizen’s aide.

“How… Did the siege break?”

“You thought you couldn’t break through?”

For Kenya, it is embarrassing. To pursue the squad from Rai’s unit, he took 50 soldiers and left. Rai can’t break through the siege anyway.

The chasing troops just run away. There is no intention of erasing traces and no strategic moves. Convinced that there was no Rai in the unit he was pursuing, Kenya leisurely pursued his unit.

But suddenly, Rai’s main force fell right in front of his eyes.

Why is this human here? He is surrounded by more than 10 times the number of troops, but is the siege broken?

“Yes, the adjutant is dead.”

As the soldier behind him tapped Kenya’s shoulder with his sword, Dudley said. The win or loss has already been decided, so he doesn’t have to attack hard. It was an attack that seemed like a prank, but Kenya glared at Rai with an expression of regret, then lay down on the floor and act as a corpse.

“You idiots. How could you miss them with that much force?”

“You can’t talk about the body.”

Rai laughs and pokes Kenya’s cheek as she plays the corpse.

“Let’s go find Guwanna next.”

Troops move, leaving Kenya and his soldiers to smoke a corpse.

Through several battles, they absorbed the separated troops, but Lai’s troops also accumulated damage in successive battles. There are soldiers who fall out due to injuries, and there are soldiers who are treated as dead, so the troops are not much different from the beginning.

However, the morale of the soldiers is high as they easily escaped the encirclement and won consecutive victories.

Philia sees Rai to the cheers of the soldiers who trust and follow him.

‘What’s not sophisticated?’

The fewer soldiers, the closer it is to mercenary tactics, so quickness and improvisation are more important than sophistication, he said.

But it’s a carefully crafted tactic from the start.

The academy students were provoked before training even started, and the location of the unit was placed near the academy students who would not be attacked. The squad, which seemed to have been randomly sent to confuse them, was all a planned move, hitting Aizen’s back or splitting the academy students’ troops to make it easier to catch.

The more units there are, the harder it is to command, but Lai is not an expert adjutant and employs his soldiers as adjutants, keeping them all under his control.

It was the closest thing to the ideal pursued by the Empire, the pinnacle of sophistication that puts not only one’s troops but also the enemy in one’s hands.

That’s not to say it wasn’t spontaneous.

Rai always has a map in his hand and is constantly scouting and reading the movements of the troops around him. Amid the flood of information, he continues to create new plans to perfectly execute the tactics he originally planned.

Change routes, send squads, and sometimes go near other academy students to see their faces. Everything is a move to complete a pre-planned tactic, and the academy students are swaying according to Lai’s intentions even though they have much more troops.

There are two things Philia has learned so far.

How to use soldiers. How to perfect your tactics.

The elaborate tactics are creepy, but the way soldiers are used is terribly shocking.

Soldiers are not viewed simply as soldiers. Just as there is a difference in skill among knights, each soldier has a different specialty. Rai brought in veterans to serve as lieutenants, gathered strong men and gave them to Abigail.

Before the start of training, I bought their favor and boosted their morale by sharing beer and chatting. And by rescuing the troops sent as bait, the soldiers trust and follow Lai.

Philia sneers as she recalls Rai’s words to save her squad and stop bullying our children.

‘Something is not a discard.’

We are looking for troops, but not all of them. Although he denied Abigail’s words when he asked if he was going to throw it away, Rai was calmly dividing the squad to save and the squad to throw away.

Some squads have already been wiped out, while others are beyond the siege and cannot be physically saved.

But the soldiers believe in Rai. Because he saved a few squads.

He’s doing the cool thing of throwing away what’s going to be thrown away as he replenishes his troops, but his popularity continues to soar. Despite repeated battles, morale continues to rise, and the soldiers trust Lai as if they were told to jump into a pit of fire.

It’s clever.

I remember what Rai said after saving him from being kidnapped. Don’t drop the sword, drop the hostages.

A cold-hearted choice, and a skill to be treated as a hero even while making a cold-hearted choice. You can’t learn this from books.

Having learned how to manage her troops, Filia smiled bitterly, but her eyes lit up.

She had to learn everything she could learn here.

As Philia explores her new horizons, her other academy students are in a mood.

Lai, who thought she would catch her, broke through the encirclement, and it is not easy to communicate with the academy students who lead her unit.

You have to re-form the siege while chasing Lai, and you also have to command your troops. You can’t have a proper conversation with a simple signal.

Aizen was the luckiest person since we couldn’t gather together and talk. No matter who sees it, Aizen is the number one contributor to the loss of Lai.

She sent Bella to Shultz’s side to thin her encirclement, confidently saying that she could stop it, but she broke through at once.

In terms of responsibility, Shultz was responsible for missing Abigail’s squad, but the academy students, who had no way of knowing the situation properly, put all the blame on Aizen.

“Haa… Such a stupid person…”

Hureiman looks at the map and checks the newly formed siege net. It is not a formation that can already be called a siege net. It’s just a face-to-face confrontation.

After breaking through Aizen, Lai’s troops moved quickly and prevented her academy students from encircling them again. In the end, the academy students, who have formed a single line, advance and only chase after him.

Too much time was wasted trying to build a perfect siege. If you move the troops to build a siege again, the training time will end.

At the moment you think about whether you have to run and attack recklessly to catch them, someone appears from afar.

“Hello- Hureiman. Can we talk?”

The one who came out of the thicket is three-set. She, who had been quietly building a siege until now, began to move. She is mischievous and has a cute impression on her, but after realizing that she is clever, Reiman looks around her.

“I entrusted the unit to a good lieutenant. Could it be that only Hurei, a knight among knights, would attack a defenseless little girl?”

After seeing Sesset smiling with her hand raised, Leiman Hurayman ponders for a moment before approaching her.

“I was thinking of joining hands to get out of this situation.”

“Is there a way?”

As Hureiman reacts, Sesset grins. At the same time, she sneaks a glance at the staff member in charge.

The staff is a bit far from the two, and the conversation here can’t be heard all the way to the central plaza.

After noticing Sesset’s gaze, Rei Man naturally moves further away from her staff and speaks quietly.

“What is the method?”

“Aizen, Senka, Delia.”

Fureiman shuts his mouth at the names of the academy students who are commanding the unit.

The three are currently the most damaged by Rai. Aizen lost more than half of his troops, and Senkawa and Delia sent a lot of troops to pursue the squad, but suffered losses.

After understanding the words of abandoning the lie and attacking the three, Rei Man shook his head.

“They proudly say that they should betray. Aren’t they afraid after the training is over?”

It’s a training that everyone is watching. However, suddenly attacking the same side just because the situation is unfavorable is not something a knight would do. This may be a stigma that will follow you for the rest of your life.

But Sesset tilts her head with an innocent smile.

“What are you talking about? We’ve been on Lycan’s side since the beginning.”

“……”

It can’t be. It might be three or three, but Fureiman has no memory of making such a pact with Rai.

The innocent smiles of the three three who say “Us” As if they were taken for granted look extremely evil.

But even Fureiman couldn’t help but laugh.

“It’s like a villain.”

“I am not a villain, but an apostle of justice who stands on the side of the weak.”

“Raikang must be a weakling.”

“The weak come and harass them. And Raikang anticipates this situation and is a tactical genius who created an ally. We are allies of justice who helped the genius and participated in an unfavorable battle.”

Se-se-se put her hands together and smile brightly.

There is no contract, just make it. Everyone is watching through Familiar, so if you shout and attack that you were on Rai’s side from the beginning, people will clap their hands and love the dramatic situation.

If you win, you get points and honor. Because Sesseth and Hureyman were just one of the ploys to overcome this unfavorable situation.

“Then, after all, from Aizen?”

“That’s right. Our captain, Raikang, personally made it weak.”

After exchanging evil smiles, Setset and Hureiman command the troops and move little by little to the left where Aizen is.

Bella was the first academy student to notice the departure of the unit, which had been looking straight ahead.

She cheered up the depressed Aizen and sided with him so that the other academy students wouldn’t blame him, and she was nearby to protect the weakened Aizen.

It is a situation where everyone has to chase after Lai’s unit ahead. However, as the troops move from the back, Bella watches quietly.

‘Why?’

There was no talk of changing the formation. There is no time to change the formation because you have to chase Lai at the shortest distance.

Thoughts of no way crossed her mind, but she thought it couldn’t be so, so she tried to ignore it, but her anxiety wouldn’t go away.

“Via, command the unit for a moment.”

“What? Lycan is nearby?”

“Just a moment. I’ll take 100 soldiers.”

“Wait a minute.”

Without hearing a reply from Via, who joined as her lieutenant, Bella drags her men and pursues the troops moving behind her.

Sesset and Hureiman, who caught Aizen’s back, charged and attacked the troops.

“What, what?!”

Poor Aizen, who was also surprised, panics and tries to command the unit, but the unit, already demoralized by Rai, cannot move properly.

The excited faces of Sesset and Hureiman come into Aizen’s eyes, dazed by the helpless unit.

“Eye eh !!!!!!

It was a voice of pain that rose from the depths of his stomach as if he was really angry.

“We were on the side of Laycan from the beginning.”

“I’m sorry, Aizen-Raikang got down on his knees and begged me, so I couldn’t help it. But 14 to 1 is too lethal. We have to help.”

Funny enough, the two answer not by looking at Eisen, but by looking at her familiar on her employee’s shoulder.

Athran hates seeing Seset’s face with a sad smile on the screen in the central plaza.

“That’s a betrayal. Damn b*tch.”

“It’s fun.”

Diana puts her chin on her chin and laughs. The screen switches and Bella’s troops are shown charging behind Sesseth and Hureyman.

“You bastards!!”

Bella’s troops break through Fureiman’s troops in a straight line.

“That’s great. When did you realize we were on Lycan’s side?”

“Don’t talk bullsh*t!!”

Bella, who noticed the situation from Reiman’s expression, shouted loudly and commanded his troops.

However, she kept Rai in check and brought only 100 of her soldiers. Although she initially succeeds in ambush, Bella, who is soon trapped inside her unit under Reiman’s command, tries to get out somehow, but she is fleetingly knocked out by her men.

“It’s 1+1.”

Sesset smiled wickedly and left her Bella to Hurayman and rushed to Aizen’s troops. Aizen’s unit, which had almost no soldiers and was even surprised, collapsed helplessly.

Every time you defeat a unit, 30 points are added. She hears a voice that she doesn’t want to hear in the ears of three-set, who believes that she will easily win points.

“A fight? Join me.”

“Eh eh eh?! Raikang?!”

“Charge.”

At Rai’s words, the units that had approached silently rushed forward. The target of the attack is the unit of Sesset and Hureiman, who have announced that they are on the same side.

The troops hit by the flanks are split in half, and Bella manages to escape and joins Aizen, who has not yet managed the chaos.

“Raikang! Why are you attacking the same side!”

Rai blinked her eyes at Sessett’s words, conscious of her familiar. When Philia shakes her head, Rai, who understands the situation, smiles viciously.

“Because you are useless now.”

After claiming to be villains, Sesseth and Hureyman survived, but their unit was not unharmed. A group of other academy students who have been chasing Lai, who suddenly moves too much, rushes in, and Lai breaks through the siege once more and runs away.

The academy students who were chasing Rai’s troops stopped in panic when they saw the enemy and the friendly fighting so mixed up that they could not be distinguished.

“Sesset and Hureyman betrayed you! Take them down!”

“We are victims!!”

Sessett shouts at Bella’s cry, but the academy students attack only Sesset and Hurey.

While fighting each other, Rai leisurely escapes and shouts loudly when he sees Triola belatedly joining the battle.

“Triola!! Thank you! Three three please!!”

Triola doesn’t know what Rai is talking about and makes her face, but when she is suddenly attacked from her side, she panics and rearranges her unit.

“What?! Why are you attacking?!”

“Did you betray me too!”

Delia, who has been criticized by Abigail for being an empty-headed idiot, unleashes her rage and attacks her triola. While chasing Lai, as the number of troops she participates in increases, the distinction between enemy and ally disappears and they fight randomly.

Lai shrugs his shoulders as he leisurely leaves behind the chaos of the battlefield.

“It’s scary to live in a world full of distrust.”

“……”

Filia and Abigail, who were following, look at Rai with amazement.

It was the first time the two agreed during training.
