It was better to take the shortest route to the hatchery, but we couldn’t ignore safety and choose practicality.

Looking at the route planned by the experts, I could see that they had made a very reasonable choice.

However, if we were to ask whether their route was perfect, we could confidently say that it was not.

“Can I give you some advice?”

“Advice?”

“yes. There are some differences from reality. “It seems like there are some areas you can’t enter at all.”

“Is there an area you can’t enter?”

The deputies who planned the route jumped and looked at me.

“That can’t be possible. “This is a perfectly planned route by cross-checking the maps!”

“That map is old, right? Something else is bound to arise. Moreover, it has been a long time since it became a polluted area, right? “I can’t say it’s perfect when I don’t know what the monsters did.”

The lieutenants’ claim that the route drawn from the old map was perfect was an absurd and nonsensical claim.

On the other hand, I was able to see with my own eyes and plot the route through Damon.

That’s why I said I would help, but I didn’t know they would hate it so much.

Thalia looked at the jumping adjutant for a moment and then spoke coldly.

“Change.”

“yes?”

“Change it.”

“… Are you telling me to change the route as that person said?”

“okay.”

“Are you trusting the words of someone who is not an expert?”

“Of course you are an expert. “But I don’t think you can say you know the way better than someone who has seen it with their own eyes.”

“It will be safe enough to move along the existing route.”

I heard the road was cut off there, man.

“Su-han must have already told you? “You guys planned the route by guessing from past maps, but Suhan is talking about it after seeing it with his own eyes.”

A route created by guessing from old information and a route created by myself.

Anyone can see that the route I planned was much more reliable and had solid information.

‘The reason the stone that rolled in is unpleasant is the fate of the stone that is stuck.’

Still, I should have shown my pride while meeting people.

It seems that Thalia’s frown was not visible.

Of course, they must have come to their senses too late, and now all of the lieutenants were nervous and stiff, swallowing their saliva.

“Is there anyone who still doesn’t understand whose words I should trust more and move on? “If there is someone like that, please raise your hand.”

If there was a guy like that, it seemed like they were planning to cut him off as an adjutant right away.

The deputies, who felt threatened, quickly shook their heads.

“No, Commander! “I think we thought wrong.”

“Joe, I need some advice.”

“We will fix it right away!”

Thalia seemed to have let go of her anger at her quick action, but she lowered her eyebrows and spoke.

“Thank goodness. “I wouldn’t have been able to be with someone with such high pride.”

A person with high self-esteem.

If he was a person who thought his pride was more important than the lives of his soldiers and insisted on the wrong path, there was no reason to keep him in the position of adjutant.

The lieutenants broke into a cold sweat as if they understood what Thalia’s words meant.

“I will check again, and if you give me a little more time, I will combine new information and come up with a better path.”

The lieutenants who were properly recognized by Thalia voluntarily stepped up and said they would work harder to survive.

In addition, they also expressed their gratitude to me.

“Thank you for saying that you are willing to help.”

His eyes were begging me to save him, and since there was nothing good about getting hit by a rock that came rolling in, I decided to answer him obediently.

Since I came here to act as an adjutant, it would be difficult if the number of people decreases.

“no. “Of course it’s something that has to be done.”

It wasn’t difficult to cooperate with them.

All that was needed was for Damon to verbally convey what he saw.

And I soon found out that this choice was the right one.

When we sent Damon out again to check the road again, it turned out that the terrain was more rugged than we thought.

“If we had gone with the existing region, we would have been in big trouble.”

“I had no idea the terrain had changed so much in that time.”

It was cute that the road was completely cut off.

On the muddy road, which was not easy to navigate, swamps popped up all of a sudden, and Damon shook his head, saying that the monster’s waste gave off a disgusting odor here and there.

He relayed the story without missing even the smallest detail, showing that Damon was surprisingly talented at reconnaissance.

Thanks to this, we were able to move the military to a location with as few difficulties as possible.

“Thank you for your help.”

“It was really helpful.”

When the adjutants realized how much hardship there would be when they tried to follow the path they had chosen, they no longer showed off their pride and raised thorns.

“The leader was doing well, so there wouldn’t have been a big problem if we had continued as is. In the end, all I had to do was reach my destination and go back.”

I thought it would be better to offer humble consolation to the repentant lieutenants rather than showing off.

“It would have taken longer instead.”

“There must have been a lot more monsters to deal with.”

Relations with his lieutenants were resolved in a positive manner, and the army moved along a changed path.

As expected, clearing the path was not easy.

As a large army moved, monsters were naturally attracted to the noisy presence.

However, the leader was doing so well that the moving time was not delayed.

“I wish it would continue like this… .”

Someone’s murmur.

Was this the starting point of the problem?

“It’s a giant!”

The giant who had appeared when he was at the front line with Princess Haehwa rushed towards the army as if he knew no fear.

It was the commander’s direct unit that rushed towards the giant in an instant.

While the soldiers retreated to avoid the giant, they stepped forward as if it was natural.

‘It’s still enormous.’

Not one, but two giants suddenly rushed at me.

The good news was that the children responded calmly, perhaps because they had experience dealing with giants.

“You go to the rear.”

Thalia sensed an unusual atmosphere and ordered me to retreat to the rear.

The other lieutenants did the same.

“You won’t allow me to join the battle, right?”

“It’s obvious. “I didn’t call you to help me fight.”

There was a lot I wanted to say, but I was forced to step back along with my tactical lieutenants who were not fighting.

Perhaps because the advance team attracted a lot of attention, the rear was peaceful without much disturbance.

thud!! Wow!!! thud!!

“Wow, my stomach feels numb.”

The adjutant was horrified by the noise the battle made and shook his head.

It was not something someone working as an adjutant in the military would do.

“Are you scared?”

“So, can you look at that and not be scared? “The soldiers are also running away in fear?”

“If you are Commander Thalia’s adjutant, you shouldn’t be scared by something like this.”

“I tend to use my head more than my body. A monster is in front of me? “I am completely confident.”

“Are you confident?”

“yes. “I am confident that I will die in one second.”

“Oh my.”

“Let’s stop chatting and get to work.”

“Is there anything to do here too?”

“of course. Aren’t we commander’s lieutenants? “If I see something lacking in any place, I can interfere.”

Even after entering the rear unit, the adjutant was busy walking around and meddling here and there.

The fact that he was working so hard seemed like he was telling me to look at him.

‘Do you think you want to teach me because you are the senior?’

It was a courtesy for me, but I couldn’t ignore it, so I quietly followed behind him and watched him work.

How much time has passed?

News was delivered that the advance unit had finished eradicating the giant.

However, it seems that the monsters flocked in due to the battle with the giant, and a second battle began.

“Can’t we go back now?”

“Whoa, yeah, I have to go back.”

The adjutant seemed to be so scared of the monster that he didn’t want to go back.

I don’t know how I came here because I was so scared.

As we left the rear unit and moved towards the advance unit, we saw a monster.

“wow! Do you see over there?”

“yes? What do you want me to see… ah.”

The adjutant’s face suddenly brightened and he pointed in one direction.

When I turned my gaze that way, I saw a familiar face holding a monster.

I fought two giants, but I had no idea that I was still fighting monsters.

“Commander, the combat troops under your direct command are active again! Isn’t this really amazing? “If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have even dared to go on an expedition like this.”

“Maybe so.”

If it weren’t for the kids, I wouldn’t have said let’s go destroy the hatchery.

“Even after dealing with all the giants, it wasn’t enough, so you are helping. I can’t believe that such amazing people are human like us. “It seems like they are somehow greater than us.”

The more active the children are, the more there will be people like this lieutenant who will envy the unit under Commander Thalia’s direct command.

Right now, this was just a little bit of medicine.

Children’s praise is praise.

The level of the monster was such that there seemed to be no need for the children to step forward, but I couldn’t understand why they were still fighting.

“It must have been difficult to deal with the giant, but shouldn’t the soldiers be able to deal with the rest?”

“If the unit directly under your command steps forward, it will be sorted out quickly.”

It was absurd to see this being said as if it was a natural thing.

“Don’t you think it must have been difficult to catch two giants? What if more giants appear while the soldiers do their work without giving them rest? “Isn’t that something soldiers can deal with?”

It is correct to only kill cows with a knife.

“Hey, I think you’re worrying too much.”

However, the adjutant denied what I said, asking if there was any need to view the situation so negatively.

“Isn’t the place we are now at the beginning of the contaminated zone?”

Of course, I don’t think another giant will come out now.

However, since it is not something that can be 100% certain, the right attitude for a lieutenant would be to be prepared.
