“Haaam.”

Oh, no. I almost fell asleep. Lucille is fighting hard in front of me, but I can’t do it because I’m not setting an example.

It’s embarrassing to be the older brother and let your younger brother fight in front of you and watch from behind, and you even doze off? I can’t live with my head held high.

But my being behind was strategically unavoidable. What the enemy was aiming for was my neck. So, if you wag your tail in a place where you can’t be caught, the enemy will come in targeting you, and Lucille can stab the enemy with peace of mind.

Therefore, I sat quietly at the main camp and watched the battle at the bottom of the mountain with the knights. Although it was hard to see, the sound of gunpowder exploding here and there was explaining the situation.

‘The sound of gunpowder, which was distant at first, is getting closer. Is it time to bite the bullet?’

I opened the map. There were several defense lines. We decided to abandon the main camp and retreat to the next line of defense.

“Send a messenger to Lucille.”

“Yes!”

“We will attack the next line of defense, so tell Lucille to retreat as well.”

“Yes!”

Fight while retreating. Makes the enemy tired. This gives Leona time to escape. That’s our operation. There was no need to risk one’s life to protect the camp. Because it just takes time.

That’s how we settled down, and the enemy continued to be sucked in.

Meanwhile, Lucille felt uncomfortable with her first real experience in a long time.

He was clearly winning. The original strategic goal was well achieved, and the enemy continued to be sucked in and repeatedly lost soldiers.

“Fire!”

Ta-ta-tang!

The sound of gunshots coming from all directions made Lucille feel a sense of pleasure.

This is because every time a gun is fired, the enemies fall.

Shoot at enemies who are tired from climbing the mountain. Send infantry to attack. And after winning, he runs away.

Lucille was performing this series of processes artistically and continued to climb the mountain despite suffering unilateral damage to the enemy.

But why do you feel uncomfortable?

‘It’s a lot easier than I thought.’

In Lucille’s memory, Blois was never an easy opponent.

Blois’ leadership skills are among the highest in the world. It is by no means a weak opponent.

But why is it a one-sided win?

If Blois is your opponent, shouldn’t it be a little more difficult?

That’s what I thought.

‘Why on earth… ‘

Something is strange.

However, there was no doubt that they were winning.

Therefore, Lucille decided not to think deeply about that sense of discomfort.

If things continued like this, victory was certain.

—–

Two days have passed since then. Our troops were defeated three times and fell quite far behind. Franz thought. Lucille’s performance was greater than expected, and thanks to that, the situation is quite good.

‘If we keep going like this, we can last a week.’

But you don’t have to endure it for a week at a time. In about four days, it will be time for Onora to be pushed out.

You must not retreat too early before Onora. If that happens, a situation could arise where Onora is attacked back and forth by the Savoy and Sthenian armies.

You cannot retreat later than Onora. If we do that, we could end up being attacked back and forth by the Savoy and Sthenian armies.

We need to work together to create an organic connection with Onora. It’s my first time putting my hands and feet together, but I still have to do it. To load Leona.

‘Today is the third day.’

Let’s hold on for just one more day. That’s what I thought.

And the moment I went into the military tent and went to sleep.

-bang!

A gunshot was heard nearby.

‘Did you catch a bird?’

It happened often. The mountains were full of animals, and guns were fired to catch animals that entered the military camp.

And the next moment.

-Ta-ta-tang!

Dozens of gunshots were heard simultaneously. I raised my upper body.

‘Something happened!’

I quickly put on my coat and went out of the camp. Then a faint sound was heard.

-Oh, it’s coming! Stop it!

-Never let it go up!

– Spearmen forward!

A battle was taking place somewhere, very close by.

At that moment, a messenger covered in blood ran towards me.

“Franz! Enemy attack! It’s an enemy attack!”

“enemy attack? where? Has the front line of defense been breached?”

“No… ! rear! The enemy has appeared from behind!”

I poured out my heart. It’s not the front line. That meant Lucille was safe.

But the enemy appeared from behind. What that means is simple. The story was that he might not be safe.

That’s because, if things continue like this, we will be surrounded from the front and the back.

‘But why on earth are there enemies from behind?’

I analyzed the situation according to my usual habit. An enemy suddenly appeared from behind. why?

At that moment, two knights appeared. One was Sir Baldo, who asked, ‘Is there anyone who values their life?’ and the other was a veteran knight in his 50s.

“We will escort you! Follow us now!”

I nodded. The three people started running towards the front. Even as I ran away, I continued to think about it.

‘How did they appear from behind? ‘Has the Stenia direction already been breached?’

No, that couldn’t have been possible. No matter how bad Oh No-ra’s personality is, she is definitely a person with one ability. There is no way Onora has already been breached.

That means the enemy is most likely Savoy, not Sthenia. That means…

“Detoured!”

I shouted. The two knights asked curiously.

“What are you talking about?”

“Oh, no. I was talking to myself. Don’t worry about it.”

“Yes, my lord. Let’s go.”

Only then did I feel like all the puzzle pieces came together.

The enemy army advanced into the mountains. However, as they advanced into the mountains, they also advanced into the plains.

The story was that while advancing into the mountains, they sent a detachment to close in on the river and return behind our troops.

So how on earth did our troops not discover it?

The reason was simple. 1. The friendly forces were busy fighting, and 2. The enemy forces moved secretly by boat despite moving a very short distance.

So, without our troops noticing, the enemy’s detachment returned to our troops’ rear. So suddenly an enemy appeared behind our troops.

‘Unbelievable… ‘

I was amazed. Was Blois this capable? The Blois I knew was a common-sense, safety-oriented military officer. He was not a person capable of such a secret and bold operation.

‘How on earth?’

Something completely different from what I expected happened. In the original story, Blois does not use this strategy. No, I can’t write it. Because he wasn’t that outstanding of a person.

‘Does that mean history has changed? Do I come? ‘Are you saying this is all my fault?’

Blois was more capable than I knew. And our troops were surrounded from front and back. If things continue like this, our troops will inevitably be annihilated. I had to somehow inform Lucille of the situation and urge her to find a way to survive…

-Taang!

That moment. My body lost balance and fell.

“Lord, lord!”

I heard the knights shouting when they saw me. I fell headlong to the ground in an instant and had no idea what was going on.

As I fell to the floor, I asked Baldo.

“What happened?”

“Master! Damn it! It’s a gunshot wound! You’ve been shot in the leg! Put it on my back!”

“… ”

I looked down at my legs. It was bleeding. So much so that it seems dangerous. It seemed like I wasn’t good at walking.

I calmly rode on Baldo’s back. The remaining knight ran and killed the sniper. The sniper must have known that we would pass by, so he took a detour and waited.

“Dear Lucille, you can survive just by joining Lucille. My lord, even if it hurts, just be patient!”

It wasn’t painful. Rather, I couldn’t even tell where I was shot. The only thing that was uncomfortable was that my heart was beating relentlessly. My heart was pounding so hard that I couldn’t figure out what was happening. I was out of my mind. Everything seemed slow.

“Master! Hang in there! You can buy it!”

In fact, Sir Baldo seemed more embarrassed when he said that. He continued to mutter to himself and run with me on his back. I just felt sorry. It’s because of me that you’re going through this trouble.

But at some point, the other person disappeared. Lord Baldo also seemed to realize this and let out an anxious breath.

“Holy shit, shit. That can’t be possible. no way… ”

He shook his head. But the bad premonition did not turn out to be wrong. Soon I heard a voice from behind me.

“Here it is!”

I turned around following the voice. There was a soldier there. Not our soldiers, but the soldiers of the House of Savoy.

And the next moment. Dozens of soldiers and knights began to appear at once, following the soldier.
