“Phew.”

Cold sweat runs down my back. I almost got tired of adding a little bit of exaggeration.

If the demons had moved just a little bit differently, they would have been completely ruined.

Somewhere, Lady Luck said, ‘Just this once.’ He seems to be whispering!

‘It’s crazy. ‘My luck in life in this world is really crazy!’

To be honest, half the time I thought, ‘Wouldn’t this work?’ It was thrown in that way.

First of all, this is not a river. There is no current or wind to move it.

For that reason, people and words were needed. These are all very precious resources.

If either of them had been damaged, I would have definitely become a murderer.

But the small ball I shot. No, a small kite did the trick.

The enemy beyond the fog received an order to retreat at a time when morale was at the lowest level.

Since he probably wanted to go home quietly, I chose to keep him in check rather than fight him directly.

The fact that he did not leave the military camp but just sat down and fired arrows was conclusive evidence.

Coincidentally, I was moving with the scouts who had been wandering around the area diligently.

Although the fog was still thick, they were able to tell quite accurately how much distance was left from the military camp on the Novogord side using the terrain features they had checked in advance.

Thanks to this, I was able to get close to just the right distance, and later provoked the demons.

‘What happened next, the situation was so perfect.’

Cheolbi means that we will admit that our situation is a mess, so stop and get out of the way.

I quickly took up the shower of arrows and jumped out without even looking back.

When I looked at the carriage, I saw that I was full even though I hadn’t had lunch. How many are there in total?

‘An arrow is an arrow, but what’s more important is that you have character!’

The Ministry of War ordered our corps to properly pursue the retreating Novogordian army.

I didn’t want victory through battle. This means showing the superiority of the empire without provoking provocation.

And I solved it this way. With a letter saying that he was taking good care of the arrows he shot out of fear.

Perhaps the people in Novogord who discovered the letter are going wild?

“Huhuhu. Hehe… . Phew… .”

As soon as the excitement subsides, a chilling feeling of fear passes through my whole body again.

okay. It’s a shame that things went well, but if things had gone wrong, the situation afterward would have been terrible.

What if they ran out? What if you shot magic instead of arrows? What if we measured the distance wrong?

Even if just one thing goes wrong, you’ll either be chased, captured, or killed. One of three.

‘I think I understand why the main characters in the novel vowed again and again to never show off.’

A person who steps forward with confidence. The only ones that can do that are Munchkins or those with status windows.

And since I don’t fit into either of those two cases, it’s right to buy it.

I was lucky this time and somehow it worked out, but there is no guarantee that this will continue.

… hmm. Still, you never know, just in case?

“Status window?”

I muttered in a low voice, but no translucent window appeared before my eyes.

“… Stat window?”

“Ah. Information window?”

“By any chance, info?”

As expected, nothing happened. Well, if he was going to show up, he should have done so a long time ago.

I have memories of my past life, but other than that, there is nothing special about me now. I repeated to myself again.

‘Let’s not go any further than this. really.’

Thinking. When we arrived at our military camp through the fog that had just begun to clear.

“Wow!!”

The soldiers were shouting loudly and cheering loudly.

“Nobogord gifted arrows to our empire!”

“The demons even left a farewell gift! Wahahaha!!”

Regardless of the era, the military inevitably has childish aspects.

Because childishness maintains a stronger bond.

From that point of view, it seemed like the harshness I inflicted on them felt more exhilarating than the victory I achieved in battle.

“… .”

I remember that even if I shout out the names of hundreds of thousands of people, the feeling of joy is comparable to that of drugs.

And now cheering in front of me are at least thousands of imperial troops.

It’s hard to lose one’s resolve in the midst of such great joy… Honestly, I couldn’t help it.

“You seem to be in a good mood, Your Highness.”

“Good. Good or bad. Sir Lyle.”

Isabelle smiled at the corners of her mouth as she responded to her escort disguised as an Imperial Army officer.

A man is seen receiving cheers from afar as if he has achieved some kind of great victory.

It’s clear that he’s still very unfamiliar with such things, but that will come soon.

‘I’m sure he will grow into the most important person in the empire in just a few years.’

He said it was definitely his first time. Kael said this was his first military service since becoming an adult.

‘How is this my first time?’

In just two attempts, the morale of the allies was raised to the maximum and then exploded.

There is barely even a trace of deep thought. At the moment of need, an appropriate plan was put forward.

And everything fit nicely. Everyone watching was amazed.

“It’s Jin-guk. That person.”

When Kael asked for straw. The others tilted their heads.

However, only Isabel did not hide her anticipation with sparkling eyes.

She still remembers that day clearly.

The moment when a meteor fell and the morale of our troops was ruined and hit rock bottom.

A moment when all the commanders of the Imperial Army could not hide their embarrassment at the current situation.

Kael, who turned everything around with just one trick.

So I looked forward to it this time too. No, I was sure.

‘What kind of great wisdom do you plan to show me this time, Prince Kael?’

As I heard, the Klauwitz family has produced outstanding military figures since ancient times.

Since he was the eldest son there, I couldn’t help but have expectations.

But seeing the birth of that ridiculous plan right in front of my eyes made that feeling even bigger.

So he revealed his identity, which he had been hiding until now, and spoke to Kael.

Can you surprise us again with your sparkling wit?

‘No, no. You definitely will. Prince Kael. Yes?’

Maybe, no. must. All plans will have already been completed in his head.

From the moment he lowered the enemy’s morale with a single kite, he must have prepared his next plan!

And as she expected, Kael stroked his chin for a moment and then said this.

“Could you please lend me some leftover hay or straw for a moment?”

After Kael, who made the request, left, the command center was filled with half anticipation and half worry.

It couldn’t have been better if things went well, but there were too many variables.

Novogord can deploy his army and choose magic rather than arrows.

Right now, even this fog is acting equally on both enemies and allies.

It was by no means something that could be called simple unreason or dissatisfaction.

If it weren’t for Kael’s next words, someone might have stopped him.

“I will personally accompany you. Corps commander.”

“Are you?”

His argument is that since he was the one who came up with the plan, he should also go.

When Isabel said that she wanted to take responsibility, she became even more attracted to him.

In fact, Kael did it in order to receive at least some extenuating circumstances in case a problem arises.

anyway.

“Everything went well. Now our military will go back too.”

“… Are you sad?”

Lyle looked at Isabelle as if she was a little worried.

Isabel is the princess of the empire. It is very rare for a person with such status to serve in the military.

It was an opportunity she had worked really hard to get. I even swore that I would never interfere.

However, since I never experienced a battle of this kind during that opportunity, it was worth it.

“It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t disappointed, right?”

“… .”

“But, it’s okay. Honestly, this is correct. Since so many young soldiers of the empire will be killed and injured, it would be a hundred times better to just stand off without any fighting and then retreat. Isn’t that right?”

“What Her Majesty the Princess said is 100% correct.”

okay. And didn’t you unexpectedly find the most sparkling gemstone?

Isabel recalled a conversation she had with someone before following the military.

“This sister will help you.”

“Huh?”

“You are following the corps. I will do my best to persuade His Majesty. Bell.”

The first princess of the empire quietly approached. Rather, it is his own older sister who is more often called the Crown Princess.

When she approached and offered a deal, Isabel tilted her head.

“I am welcome, but why are you suddenly asking me?”

“Can you go and see if there are any young talents worth keeping an eye on instead?”

It’s been noisy everywhere these days. Big and small disturbances continued at each border.

The majesty of the empire still lives on. The national power of the empire is, in name and reality, the strongest on the continent.

However, talent is lacking and needed every day.

Since it was necessary, he planned to ask his younger brother, whom he trusted, for a favor.

“Good. But you can’t say anything just because you couldn’t find even one person?”

“Stop worrying like fools. Honestly, just finding one is a huge benefit.”

When I get back, I have to immediately tell my sister everything that happened.

Perhaps his eyes will sparkle and he will urge me to say more?

Isabelle smiled as she looked at Kael, who was waving awkwardly in the distance.

‘… what.’

Aside from receiving the cheers well, I don’t know why I suddenly got goosebumps.

It seems like he’s looking at me from somewhere and trying to whet his appetite. It must be an illusion, right?
