It’s time.

I looked back at the two soldiers who had been participating in this crazy thing with me over the past few days.

If I made a strange sound, the soldiers would beat the drums to match the sound.

Even if there was an order from Irene, the general commander, if this was what they did after being conscripted, it would have been a wise man’s time.

They were silently following all my ridiculous instructions.

“Everyone. Thank you for your hard work so far. All the practice we’ve done to this day is for this very moment. Please be patient until the end.”

“Yes! Okay!”

“I will strictly follow what I practiced!”

After hearing those words, I smiled, then turned my head to look at the enemies and shouted.

“Now! Enemies began to flock. Everyone, please get ready!”

“Four!”

Two soldiers who usually practiced strange performances with me sat in front of the drums placed side by side on either side of the altar.

“Please only do what you practiced. Today is the most important! Think of yourself as knocking on heaven’s door and cheer up!”

“”Okay!””

At my words, two soldiers raised drumsticks instead of the cold weapons they usually held.

And then-

I started pounding on the crudely made makeshift drum.

As I was beating the drums on both sides of the altar, I was filled with a sense of elation, as if I were a strange pseudo-shaman performing some strange magic.

okay.

It’ll turn out okay.

According to my prediction, this is the correct answer.

“Haaa… … iced coffee… … Ahhh… … !!”

I closed my eyes and did something that seemed to gather energy.

I knew that all of these actions would look like crazy when viewed objectively by a third party.

‘If you’re going to succeed, you have to become even more completely crazy.’

From now on, I will become the man who summoned lightning.

To become that kind of person, you had to be clearly crazy in everyone’s eyes.

On the contrary, if I don’t faithfully perform because I feel embarrassed, it will look like a natural disaster happened and I didn’t call it out.

Doing something ridiculous like this was appropriate to instill fear in the enemies.

The person I am now cannot be just a crazy person.

You have to be a crazy person who stands out even among crazy people!

What would be a madman if he wasn’t a madman who claimed to bring down lightning?

therefore.

“… … Oh my heavens!!! Hear my voice!!!! Reply!!!!!”

I screamed at the sky, much louder than the sound of drums.

however… … It was strange.

I can see the enemy soldiers coming, so it’s almost time.

But why… … Raindrops aren’t falling, right?

* * *

It was Julian, the general of the Serpina army, who was ordered to lead 33,000 troops and siege weapons to destroy the fortress.

His original request to ‘attack the fortress’ was rejected once, but this time the lord called him again, saying the situation had changed.

Although it was a sudden order, Julian’s mood was not bad, but rather good.

‘As expected, my thoughts were not wrong.’

Julian, a middle-aged man with brown hair who rolled around on the battlefield, thought to himself and smiled in satisfaction.

His fault was that he was a bit short-witted, but he had a lot of experience in battle, so Serpina treated him as a vassal to some extent.

However, what Julian wanted was above that.

In Serpina County, her position becomes an unrivaled position that no one can replace.

This is the wish of all generals who want to achieve success through meritorious merit.

‘We will take over the fortress and use it as a base to attack Kelstein Castle once again. ‘I can do it.’

With such a big dream, I was finally reaching the Brans military fortress.

“General Julian!”

“What’s going on?”

The adjutant who approached Julian spoke with a serious expression.

“I… … On the walls of the fortress, a man who appears to be a member of Brans’ army is acting strangely… … .”

“What?”

Julian, who climbed into the saddle of his horse, rode out to the vanguard and checked the fortress.

An unbelievable scene unfolded before his eyes.

A white-haired young man with intact limbs was screaming with his arms outstretched.

There’s a bit of a distance, so I’m not sure exactly what they’re shouting… … For some reason, it seemed like he kept flailing his arms and pointing in this direction.

In addition, the soldiers on both sides were beating something like a drum instead of standing guard as they were told to do.

‘What on earth is that?’

Although I was taken aback by the strange scenery I had seen for the first time in my life…

Actually, if you think about it, it just seemed a bit strange, but there wasn’t anything worth being wary of.

If we look at the simple facts, there was a man in the middle doing a strange dance while shouting loudly, and the soldiers on either side were beating drums.

In a battle you have no chance of winning, instead of focusing on defense, you’re doing such useless things?

If that is some kind of ‘consciousness’ that is trying to summon something.

From Julian’s point of view, he could not have been a more formidable opponent.

‘There is no opponent on the battlefield that is easier to defeat than those who rely on the power of religion.’

God will protect us, God will give us strength… … .

The sweet rhetoric that religion used to convey lost its appeal after entering a time of turbulence.

The biggest proof would be that the religious figures who talked about this every day in various parts of the continent have disappeared.

What Julian preferred more than touting the power of religion on the battlefield was making judgments based on objective figures.

According to recently obtained information, the available troops currently in that fortress are approximately 10,000.

With that number, they could never defeat 33,000 troops equipped with a lot of siege weapons.

Moreover, it is not just a fortress. It was a fortress. Since we were attacking a fortress, if there was this much difference in forces, our army would win the battle no matter what happened.

‘I’m going to see all kinds of crazy people.’

okay.

I was thinking so lightly.

After all, occupying the fortress was just a process, and what was really important was Kelstein Castle.

If you succeed in recapturing Kelstein Castle based on this fortress, you will be noticed by Serpina.

That will soon lead to success. It was as if his opinion helped Serpina advance into the central region, which she had longed for.

He too is older. He was a warrior who felt at ease when roaming the battlefield, but he could not roam the battlefield forever, risking his life.

Now he wanted to take a step back and watch his family flourish.

“What should I do?”

“It’s not worth worrying about.”

After hearing the adjutant’s words, Julian muttered in a stern tone, then turned his head and shouted in a very loud voice.

“Everyone! We had a hard time marching this far, but nothing is more precious to us than time! So that we can take over the fortress as quickly as possible! Tell all soldiers in charge of siege weapons to prepare too!”

“Yes!”

Starting with Julian’s orders, the soldiers began charging into the fortress one by one.

The situation of wind lighting.

Until this moment, Julian was confident of his victory.

No, actually, it didn’t even feel like a victory. This was literally just a process.

* * *

And, to give a punch to those who think this is just a process.

I kept shouting and striking poses that looked plausible.

“Heaven!!!!!”

‘Raindrops will fall soon! For sure!’

I didn’t know when the lightning would strike.

However, in-game, lightning only struck when it was raining – so it had to rain first.

However, no matter how long I waited, there was no sign of rain.

The sky is obviously cloudy and there are a lot of dark clouds… … Strangely, not even small raindrops were falling.

I muttered as if to control myself.

‘Don’t be anxious!’

My appearance right now was being watched by enemy soldiers, soldiers from our fortress, and Irene next to me.

Even if it’s Irene, the soldiers who are protesting under her orders must be feeling uneasy.

If I even showed signs of anxiety here, it would have been a big problem in many ways.

“Haaa!!!!”

I tried to change the mood with a sound that seemed plausible.

but.

The sky was still dark and there was no news.

It was only when the rain began to fall that the angle of lightning would be clearly established, but there was still no news.

‘no!’

I can’t be wrong.

natural disaster. And it looks like I’m using a natural disaster. This may be the only correct answer.

Prediction of intelligence of 100. Experience 10000 hours of gameplay.

Inference based on that.

Don’t all compasses point to this being correct?

‘are you okay! It will definitely rain! If there was an earthquake, it wouldn’t make sense to stay in the fortress! ‘There’s nothing but lightning!’

I whispered to myself and shouted, repeating the plausible motion over and over again.

Meanwhile, the shouts of Serpina’s soldiers began to be heard quite loudly, breaking through the loud drums.

The siege engines were almost ready to attack.

If a stone from that catapult had hit the castle wall I was climbing on, I could have died on the spot.

are you okay.

If that were the case, there would not have been predictions like ‘sit in where the enemy can be seen’.

Because that would not be the most efficient answer at a time when my life was in danger.

Besides, if we were to retreat suddenly, it wouldn’t have mattered whether the enemy was visible or not.

It was like this in the past too.

A messenger arrived in a situation where anyone would say that negotiations with Lin had broken down.

As soon as the troops arrived at Kelstein Castle, a rebellion broke out at Cherien Castle.

Everything went as I expected.

But why am I so anxious?

Why am I… … For the first time, am I thinking that I might have made a wrong decision?

Because not even a raindrop fell, let alone a thunderbolt?

No matter how long I wait, nothing happens?

“Haaa!!!!”

I made meaningless cheers even louder.

‘no!’

no.

I shouldn’t doubt myself.

Let’s believe it.

I am right.

What I say is absolutely correct.

Because my intelligence is 100!

“Heaven!!!!!!!!”

and.

Finally, only then.

“Now, wait?!”

“What is it? What’s going on?!”

The soldiers were startled and could be heard shouting.

“Well, that is… … !”

Even Irene, who was next to me, was shocked and speechless.

The sky is just hesitating and it doesn’t look like lightning is going to strike?

But, how… … It occurred to me that where Serpina was gathered, there seemed to be a strange shadow.

‘… … uh?’

It was only then that I noticed something strange.

Slowly raise your head… … I looked at the sky I had been crying out for.

okay.

It was only after looking at the sky that I realized for the first time that I had failed in perfect reasoning.

There was no lightning or anything like that.

What is ‘really happening’ predicted by a brain with intelligence of 100 is——-

It was a huge meteorite falling to the ground.
