37 – It’s easier to give up

In doing something,

In particular, it is not to proceed alone, but to work in cooperation with many people,

i have one thing,

I knew a very important principle that must be followed.

-quick give up-

I don’t have regrets about things that don’t work. It was a much more realistic and wise choice to think about what to do with it rather than trying to force it to turn.

And in that respect…

It could be said that Samson and other demons who took a hard line were exactly that kind of guys.

Stubborn guys who don’t know much about compromise with hard muscle brains.

I knew very well from the human groups I had seen in real life or in games that it was impossible to convince these guys with rational words in the first place.

‘Even if I sided with Elias there, they would have had more seizures instead of changing their opinions anyway. I might go further and hang on to the fact that I am of human origin…’

Of course, it wasn’t that there was no way to forcefully break their opinions.

However, in that case, I knew very well that it would be wiser in many ways to give up in advance and think about what to bring and how to use it.

And in this regard, I tried to contact Elias immediately after the meeting.

As a result..

“Then, since everyone agreed to start the war as soon as possible, let’s discuss specific plans for the future.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Feeling a sense of surprise at the faster-than-expected consensus, the demon king ordered a discussion on more detailed issues.

And right after that…

“The warden would like to say something about that, would you mind?”

Elias immediately asks for the right to speak as if he had waited for the demon king to speak.

Regarding this, the demon king thought that there was something, and looked at Elias as it was and said.

“If you have any good opinions, let me know.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. Then, from now on, I will tell you about the advance of this war that the warden has been thinking about.”

With those words, Elias looked at Elisa and nodded lightly.

Elisha, as if waiting, unfolded the prepared map and laid it out in the center of the round table.

A map of operations with these and other markers.

With this spread out in front of his eyes, Elias immediately started the ‘briefing’ she had prepared.

“As you all know, our final goal in this battle is to drive out the tribal alliances occupying various parts of the Demon Kingdom. And as a first step towards this, the warden proposes an attack on Antioch here.”

Elias, who even brought a map, expressed his opinion thoroughly prepared.

Regarding this, Samson and other corps commanders reflexively showed a little panic. Even so, they didn’t say much about Elias leading the strategy meeting.

Unlike Elias, who had prepared thoroughly by bringing a map, they did not have a particularly good idea as they only focused on expressing their opinion to start a battle right away, and above all, once their opinion was accepted, they It was because I had no choice but to be more relaxed about what happened next.

‘It’s Anti-Ok… Although there is quite a distance to get there. There must be some reason Anyway, it’s just us fighting without a wish…’

‘War! It doesn’t matter whether it’s Antioch or anywhere! Wherever I can wipe out the filthy coalition guys!’

I don’t know why exactly, but the Demon Corps commanders decided to start the attack from where Elias insisted.

Meanwhile…

Seeing them complying with his opinions without any resistance, Elias slowly nodded his head feeling relieved.

‘As expected, the effect of taking a step back from this side, as the hero said, is clearly visible…’

The commanders of the corps, who would have been muttering this or that even if they had followed this level normally.

However, in the position of the current hardliners, including Samson, they had no choice but to take a step back to Elias, who actually made ‘concessions’ according to their will.

Both politically and psychologically.

So, as a result, whatever you want…

To be precise, as the hero told her yesterday, Elias succeeded in determining the attack points and routes of Samson and other hardliners.

Deeply relieved that it had been done successfully without much fuss, Elias looked at the warrior sitting across from him, thinking about what would come next.

A hero who nodded with a smile while looking at her who had successfully completed his primary goal.

Seeing him like that, Elias, apart from the success of the plan, looked away as he thought that man was unlucky in many ways.

‘It’s something I’ve felt since the first time I met him, but he’s a guy I don’t like… ‘

Antioch

As a city located in the southern part of the Demon Kingdom, it is an adult city built in the center of the vast plains.

Until the tribal union occupied this area, it was an area that served as the breadbasket of the Demon Kingdom and a transportation hub that served as a gateway to cross the Black Mountains across the center of the Demon Kingdom.

Its importance did not change even after the Confederacy took over.

But,

Due to these characteristics, this place has always been noisy and lively. I was caught in a gloomy atmosphere as if there was a thick darkness at the moment.

“Did Timothy ask for food again?”

“yes… Yes, General.”

“The same request came from Galatia. He said that there is a risk that all the soldiers will die of starvation if things continue like this… ”

“ha… ”

The request for food assistance continues to come in endlessly today.

In this regard, Parisect, the general in charge of Antioch here, could not help but automatically frown.

“It’s frustrating, even the food we’ve stocked up has a limit, and the situation is getting worse and worse… Is there still no news of support from your home country?”

“Sorry, we are still requesting support but it looks like we need more time.”

“Um… .”

Parisekt frowned as he felt his head pounding at the words of his subordinate.

Although not as good as the 3 knights of the Falcon Empire, the Parisect possesses considerable strength.

However, he couldn’t come up with any alternatives to the supply situation, which was worsening by the minute.

‘Damn… Cassandra, if that woman hadn’t been careless, things would have gotten to this point… It’s not that we’re overflowing with food.’

Parisekt is helping other regions with food urgently procured here.

But… In spite of his actions, the situation was getting worse and worse now that the supply from Rob had been severed.

There was also a limit to local procurement, and even if food was somehow forced, there was no answer to the lack of supplies, including weapons.

Because of this, the allied forces currently in the Demon Kingdom were keeping themselves as defensive as possible, and no provocations towards the enemies were allowed.

It was a situation where those who came to fight were tied up and had to huddle in the house,

In the meantime, Antioch was in a situation where it had to provide support to other regions because it had enough food.

And in this regard, the dissatisfaction of Parisect and other subordinates naturally,

It started to turn to General Cassandra, who was actually responsible for Robb’s cause of this situation.

“It’s frustrating, the situation wouldn’t have gotten to this point if Cassandra had done the right thing.”

“That’s right. How could a third knight of the Empire make such a fatal mistake… ”

“No matter how much the demon king attacked, who would have known that the supplies would be blown away like that. It is very disappointing.”

Parisect and his subordinates are solving this frustrating reality by slandering their superiors who are not here.

In particular, in the case of Parisect, who was not included in the 3rd knight due to Cassandra, he was secretly releasing his feelings of dissatisfaction that had been stored in his heart.

“He was quite capable in the past, but since he was only in the back, people have fallen for him. It means that the name 3 knights is worth it.”

“We think so too.”

“Of course, Parisect-nim should have become a 3rd knight.”

The subordinates who sympathize with the words of their direct superior with a little flattery.

Looking at them, Parisekt began to wonder in his heart that this incident might give him an opportunity.

‘However… As I think, now that Rob has been hit, the increased importance of this place in Antioch might be an opportunity for me… If we can get through this crisis well, maybe… ‘

In addition to being a military strategic point, Antioch was one of the few areas where food could be self-sufficient from the point of view of the tribal allies that actually brought most of the supplies from the home country.

From the point of view of the tribal union, where the supplies that came to the front line were cut off like now,

It was Antioch that became an important place that must be defended in order to be able to put on a last-minute paste.

Now that the eyes of allies are gathered like that,

If something happened here, it might be a plan that could make the name of Parisect known.

‘If demons invade this place, the allied forces will probably try to protect this place with all their might. And at the center, this Parisect-sama will stand… If that happens, I might have another opportunity to aim for the 3rd Imperial Knight.’

Even in the midst of such a crisis, Parisect, with its own greed, is trying to proceed with the food procurement issue that needs to be done now.

at that time…

“Come on, General! General Parisect!”

“What’s going on?”

“I… Enemy! A large army of demons is coming here!”

“!”

A soldier gasping for breath and talking urgently.

As a result, Parisekt’s face began to show an emotion that could be described as complex and a little joy for a moment.
