Episode 168

Wireless system (3)

“The most important thing when operating an army on the battlefield is information and the ability to use that information as quickly as possible.”

A neutral voice, neither thick nor high, flowed from within Napoleon’s robes. Zhuge Liang opened his mouth as if somewhat surprised by his sudden voice.

“It’s surprising that the taciturn military emperor is the first to open his mouth. “I think there is something about the heat of battle that captivates people.”

“Gunze?”

“Oh, that’s the nickname I gave him. “Even if you don’t know their name, wouldn’t it be easier to talk if you had a title?”

In response to Zhuge Liang’s answer, Do-do glanced at Napoleon. He must have been embarrassed that he spoke first, so he hid behind Zhuge Liang’s back again.

‘Gunzera.’

Gunje, that is, emperor of the army.

It would be in a similar vein to seeing a master who is good at using a sword or sword in a martial arts novel and calling him a sword master or a sword master.

It’s clear that it was a nickname given without knowing his true identity, but Zhuge Liang’s naming sense was amazing.

Is there a better nickname for a genius strategist named Napoleon? Jeongdo has never known a better strategist than him throughout the history of the Earth. If you were to name people of a similar level, there could be several… It was safe to say that there was no better person than him.

Moreover, Napoleon was a person who lived as an emperor in real history, so the nickname Gunje could not be more appropriate.

“I’ve been interacting with him for a long time, so there were a lot of back and forth conversations. In particular, Lee Gong-myeong was greatly admired by his insight into military operation, so he naturally bowed his head. “The name Gunje was worthy of the name.”

“Hmm. That’s right. This is hard to believe. “He is better than Wuhu.”

“At least we couldn’t even keep up with military strategy. your majesty.”

“Huh. “It is truly a miracle.”

As Jeong Do and the other two people’s eyes turned to him, Napoleon shrank even more, perhaps out of embarrassment. His appearance was quite different from the image of Napoleon, who was always proud and called the Little Giant.

‘Has your personality changed since you came into the wireless world?’

I briefly wondered about the degree, but quickly put it out of my mind.

It’s like a personality, whatever. What do you think? It didn’t matter what happened as long as he didn’t have the personality to be a nuisance to others.

In addition, the personality recorded in history was different from the personality of the real person, which was the same for Lu Bu, so I just assumed it was to a certain extent and passed on it.

Zhuge Liang gently patted Baekyu-seon and spoke to Napoleon.

“Well then, since the Emperor has opened his mouth, how about telling me your opinion? “I’m really looking forward to this dull resonance.”

“But is it okay for me to take my time like this? “The war has already started.”

“Oh, I’m not too worried about that… ”

“I’m sure it’s still okay.”

It was Napoleon who cut off Zhuge Liang’s answer and answered the degree’s question. He began to explain in a confident voice, as if asking when he had been hiding.

“It would be rare for them to make a hasty move when they haven’t yet properly grasped the rules and terrain of war. “For now, scouting comes first.”

“It is as Gunje said. Although the wireless world is a place that values ​​individual power, they are also people who have made a name for themselves in their own world. “You probably have basic military knowledge.”

“indeed.”

Are you saying that there won’t be those who just rush in with their troops? In that case, as the two power leaders said, it was urgent to understand the situation.

Ugh.

At that time, the magic circle that had been summoning dolls behind the group disappeared. And the information was updated in my mind.

<The summoning of the troops has been completed. You can select the type of troop you have with the remaining points. It is also possible to summon additional troops.>

Thousands of dolls lined up in rows and rows behind the group.

However, there was no weapon in the doll’s hand. It was necessary to choose which weapon to give him according to the information that came into his head.

‘It’s like a game.’

But it’s not a game.

It was clear evidence that his <Game> talent was not responding. If you die here, you will actually die.

Jeong Do was a former professional gamer, and of course he was exposed to countless games. Among his games was a strategy simulation game similar to the current situation.

However, I didn’t have much fun with the strategy simulation game. When playing games, his physical strength was superior to anyone else’s, but he was immature in terms of big-picture strategy.

Jeong Do decided to follow the strategy of the two strategists in this test.

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think I could come up with a better strategy than Zhuge Liang and Napoleon.

Right place.

Rather than drawing the big picture of commanding the battlefield, he was suited to the role of directly charging into enemy lines.

“Then how should we organize our troops? I will follow what you two say on that point. Oh, you said earlier that reconnaissance comes first, so I’ll do it secretly… ”

“No, like I said before, there’s no need to rush yet. “I would like to leave the reconnaissance to someone else and ask you to do something else.”

The soft voice and the contrasting, hard, military tone combined to create a strange atmosphere. The degree asked Napoleon.

“Is this something you want to ask me?”

“I felt it the moment I first saw you. “It’s the smell of touching metal for a long time.”

“… “The smell of iron?”

That’s right, I held a weapon every time I killed a monster countless times, so it’s not strange to smell like iron… At Napoleon’s words, Jeongdo instinctively brought his hand to his nose. There didn’t seem to be any particular smell. Napoleon seemed to find such behavior amusing and let out a slight laugh from within his robes.

“That’s not what I meant. Of course, you smell like a general who has practiced martial arts, but you also smell like a craftsman.”

Napoleon’s voice was becoming more and more heated. At least I thought his eyes must be shining brightly under the robe.

“You should pick up a hammer instead of a sword before the war begins in earnest. “For a more powerful army.”

It was a moment when Jeong Do’s <Production-lv.3> shined for the first time in a long time.

* * * * * *

“Playing war in a place like this is so boring I think I’m going crazy.”

“Just hold on a little longer. “I’m sure we’re not the only ones who are bored, so something will happen soon.”

Zeke, the mercenary king of the Quiran Continent, twisted his body and said that. He felt like he was going crazy because he was frustrated with the current situation, but it wasn’t an easy situation to take the initiative and make a move.

Two of Zeke’s four teammates were eliminated in the preliminaries, so now only two remain. Of course, there were fewer points, so both the number and quality of the troops were not good.

In the end, I had no choice but to hide in the mountains and take a chance. If you wait, the opportunity will come. Someone will fight and there will be winners and losers. Then, you just have to hit the back of the defeated soldiers and capture supplies. Growing slowly like that was the policy decided by Zeke and his partner.

‘Should I just go on a rampage and then get rid of them all and aim for the next wireless system?’

The current situation didn’t really fit his personality.

Who are you?

Isn’t he Zeke, the mercenary king who can make even crying children stop crying on the Quiran continent? Even in numerous wars between monsters and mercenaries, he has always won without hiding or running away even once.

It’s the name of the strongest that I’ve acquired, but it’s hiding here so pitifully! If I had died, I would have died, but my pride wouldn’t allow it.

Zeke had an idea to wait just a little longer and if the situation didn’t change, he would come forward himself.

And that was then.

Wow!

Kill it!

Shouts and the sound of weapons clashing began to be heard from afar. Zeke’s heightened emotions quickly cooled down.

Zeke had a hot-tempered and hot-headed personality, but he was a man who could keep his head cool at important moments. Otherwise, they would have long ago become prey to monsters or disappeared into the dew on the battlefield. The title of Mercenary King was not earned for nothing.

Zeke concentrated his energy in the direction from which the sound came.

How much time has passed like that?

“Win or lose has been decided.”

“Okay, let’s get ready.”

The sound of weapons clashing and shouts subsided. Retreat instead! A sound began to be heard.

Victory or defeat has been decided.

But that didn’t mean one side was completely annihilated yet. I could still feel vibrations in the ground. A large number of troops were still moving.

It was clear that the chase between the winner and the loser had begun. And this was the direction from which the remnants of the defeated soldiers were running.

‘You’re lucky.’

In fact, it was for this reason that Zeke settled here. It was the best terrain to escape to if a battle broke out nearby. It was obvious that the remnants of the defeated soldiers would flock here.

“come.”

The remnants of the defeated soldiers were running as fast as they could through the canyon below the mountain ridge. Judging by the fact that they were not riding horses or holding bows, their type of military was infantry.

“… “But what is that?”

Zeke tilted his head as if it was strange. It was clear that it was a remnant of defeat. Except for the black-haired man riding the red horse in the lead, most of the dolls were in poor condition. It was broken here and there and covered in dust.

What was strange was that the dolls were running and pulling carts that looked like cows and horses.

“Was there such a disease?”

“I don’t remember.”

What is that strange cart?

Zeke intuitively felt something strange.

Could it be a trap?

When Zeke decided to do so and was about to withdraw his surprise attack, he discovered a shiny object on the top of the animal cart.

“Mana stone?”

“aha. “That was a supply unit.”

The dolls used on this wireless battlefield are not items that can be used infinitely. Just as the original soldiers needed food, the puppets of the Emperor Wu also needed food. That’s the mana stone.

After selecting a soldier type, all remaining points are converted into mana stones. For this reason, the final was a stage where strategic factors included how many troops to build, how many units to pack, and how many mana stones to reserve.

“You guys are bold. “You fight while transporting mana stones yourself.”

“Still, it’s definitely a tactic worth considering. “Rapid supply is the lifeblood of the battlefield.”

But unfortunately, the remnants of the defeated soldiers in front of us seem to have failed.

And the man on the red horse in the lead seems to be planning to return to the base while protecting the mana stone somehow.

Zeke laughed bitterly.

“What is the possibility of a trap?”

“It’s probably okay to say it doesn’t exist. Except for the cart, there is no meager armament. “Our cavalry can easily wipe them out.”

“Then let’s go.”

Zeke and partner. And about a thousand cavalry units led by them attacked the unit led by Jeong Do.

“Stand there!”

“I can’t lie and say it will only save my life. But I will let you go with as little pain as possible!”

A cavalry unit that came down from the mountain began chasing the convoy. Zeke was confident of his victory. Looking closely, I saw that those infantrymen were really armed with nothing other than carts. He didn’t even have a sword.

‘I never thought they wouldn’t even designate a military type!’

Bare-handed puppets are much weaker than infantry. If the opponent was cavalry, it went without saying. Keeping up with the horse’s moving speed was not an easy task, so the showdown would come soon. I had to shake it off and escape before the pursuers who were following me came.

But Zeke, who was driving the horseback, soon realized something was strange.

‘Why isn’t the distance narrowing?’

weird. That is clearly a speechless doll. It was also running while pulling a heavy cart.

But didn’t the cavalry catch you?

No, getting caught wasn’t the problem; rather, the distance was increasing. According to common sense, this was something that could never happen.

Zeke might not have dreamed it, but this was the overwhelming spec of the dolls that had four <Command-lv.3> applied simultaneously.

Faster than a horse with bare body!

The distance widened further, and then suddenly the doll and the doll rotated 180 degrees. He stood face to face with Zeke who was chasing him.

A man riding a red horse. Jeongdo laughed darkly.

“artilleryman! “Bring out the batteries from the wooden cattle and yuma!”

The lid of the cart, which Zeke mistook for a supply unit, creaked open. Then, a battery protruded from the top of the cart and began to automatically assemble with the cart.

Jeongdo gritted his teeth and glared at Zeke.

“I’m making this…” Do you know how much you rolled?”

Napoleon really treated himself viciously. He couldn’t tell now whether he had come to fight or to play ball.

And completed.

This is the most powerful gun carriage, adding artillery to Mokwu and Yuma, famous as Zhuge Liang’s supply weapons!

Because of this, I was acting to the point where I thought I was doing the same thing, and I also had to take on the role of a defeated soldier, so I needed to release that stress.

Zeke thought something was very wrong, but it was too late to turn things around.

“launch!”

Kwa Gwa Bang!

Fierce flames spewed out from the assembled naval guns, and a thunder-like sound echoed throughout the canyon.

Concentrated fire in a narrow gorge at the same speed as it was running.

Needless to say, the result was nothing.

In that way, the first battle ended victoriously.
