Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (11)
When Number 3, who had lost track of time, woke up, she realized that she was in a different place than where she had fallen earlier, and her eyebrows came together.
I realized how defenseless I was.
Compared to other trainees, her senses were more sensitive, but I never thought she would be able to wake up while being transported.
I clicked my tongue three times and felt a strange feeling in my left arm.
“uh?”
The feel of a tree branch wrapped in a white bandage and padded inside.
I had never received emergency treatment like that before, but I knew it was a type of treatment.
Number 25 probably did it, but where did he go?
“Are you awake?”
“Wow!”
Number 3 was startled by a voice coming from behind him.
“Why don’t you show up!”
“Isn’t it strange to pay money in this situation?”
“… is it?”
When I thought about it, number 25 was correct.
Third time, I was curious about where he had been, and when I saw what he was holding in his hand, I asked him a question.
“Did you come to get it cleaned up?”
“okay.”
“Why don’t you do it here?”
Leonard answered that question as if he were a child.
“If you avoid it and the smell of its intestines permeates it, animals and bugs will be attracted to it. “The possibility of this place being discovered by other kids also increases.”
“ah.”
3 It was only then that I realized that my question was stupid.
She sat down between her knees, her face turning red from embarrassment. It took some time for her complexion to return.
Cheeeeeeeek.
Either way, Leonard placed the well-prepared rabbit meat on sharply carved tree branches and placed them in a circle at regular intervals around the campfire.
It was today’s dinner.
Seeing that, No. 3’s stomach gurgled and howled.
‘hungry… Now that I think about it, I haven’t starved for more than a day.’
I had to give up everything that weighed down my body while frantically running away from number 1. Number 3 became sullen as he thought about the food he had left at the campsite, which would now be eaten by a group of people.
Although I have only been living in this forest for a week, I was painfully aware of the importance of food and water.
It wasn’t enough that he was subdued after attacking with a wooden sword, and asking for food while his arm was healed was…
“Eat.”
Leonard handed her two well-cooked skewers.
He doesn’t care about No. 3’s hesitation at all, and doesn’t seem to have any intention of putting her in debt.
For a girl who had accepted everyone as an enemy if not an ally, such indifferent consideration was unfamiliar.
Of course, Leonard was just giving food to a starving child.
“are you okay… ?”
“okay.”
Number 3, who received the roasted rabbit, took a bite with a red face, perhaps because of the bonfire.
Mumbling.
It was very crude compared to what I was used to eating in the mansion’s restaurant, but my empty stomach greedily accepted the food. Before I knew it, only the bare branches of the two skewers remained.
“If it’s not enough, you can eat more.”
I didn’t hesitate for the third time and picked up the grilled skewers.
I can feel the skin on my stomach, which seemed like it was going to stick to my back, swell a little.
As my hunger was satisfied, things I couldn’t see came into view.
“Is this where you live?”
“okay.”
Leonard took a sip of water from the canteen and spit it out.
It was to remove odor and grease from the mouth. Then he patted the wolf lying at his feet and said,
“It was this guy’s house before I came.”
Then the wolf, realizing it was my story, barked briefly.
Wow!
Number 3 still had a lot of questions, but he realized he hadn’t said a word about himself.
I won the fight with her 25 times.
This is the 25th time I treated his arm and gave him food.
In many ways, it didn’t suit her temperament to continue to be considered like this.
“Our 3rd group was ambushed by the 1st group and almost wiped out.”
It was a story that came out of nowhere, but Leonard was not surprised and just nodded once.
Number 3, who felt at ease with that response, continued speaking.
“It was a scouting party and we suppressed a few guys who approached the campsite, but before we could prepare defenses for Group 1, Group 1 attacked with the entire group. “We were too complacent.”
Her words were scolding herself, perhaps because she was bitter about being defeated in vain as a team leader.
However, Leonard didn’t think it was specifically Number 3’s fault.
‘Either way, they are beginners who have never experienced actual combat, let alone group combat. In that case, the side that took the initiative and took the initiative is bound to have a thorough advantage.’
Even when people who know nothing get into a fistfight, the side that decides to attack first has the advantage. The one who swings first, and hits first, has an advantage over the other person.
Even if they were ambushed with twice the number of soldiers, even a great general would inevitably suffer great damage.
‘For Number 3, the most appropriate response to that situation was to take all Group 3 members and leave as quickly as possible.’

The quantity of an army is directly related to its combat power, but if the number is large, the burden is equal to the number.
The marching speed decreases, and a lot of supplies are consumed.
If Team 3 had retreated to a distant location after dealing with Group 1’s scouting party or had split up and gathered somewhere else, the first bold decision would have ended in a wasted effort.
‘Well, if I was able to do it on the first battlefield without learning any strategies, I guess Hanshin (韓信) should give up a few moves.’
If soldiers were properly trained in group tactics, it would have been possible to lay traps and wait, or quickly move to advantageous terrain and form a defensive formation.
This was not possible for children in their mid-teens who had only received physical training and swordsmanship training.
“Did number 1 hit your left arm?”
“… huh.”
Number 3 said, looking down at his splinted left arm.
“Even though I played against No. 6 and No. 7, I was lopsided. “He’s so strong that even compared to number 2, he’s on a different level.”
Despite this, the fighting spirit in both eyes does not go away.
As a person from a collateral background, I had reached level 3. If I had planned to collapse just because my opponent was a bit stronger, I wouldn’t have been able to come this far.
‘He is a great warrior.’
Leonard was satisfied with that attitude and smiled lightly.
In Moorim, there were many geniuses greater than Geomje Yeon Moo-hyeok, and there were also many people who possessed talent that exceeded their expectations. However, except for the one Heavenly Demon Dan Mok-jin, no one was able to inflict a true defeat on the Geomje.
No matter who you are dealing with, do not forget the desire to win, and no matter what environment you are in, do not forget the desire to improve.
It was a principle that he learned from the only person he could call his teacher, and that he followed throughout his life.
‘Anyway, the situation in Group 1 has become a little annoying. If this continues, the remaining two groups will not be able to do much damage to group one and will be swept away.’
In his previous life, Yeon Moo-hyuk was a descendant of a general who once ruled a country. Even after his downfall, there were many books passed down from generation to generation in the family that wrote about strategies and state affairs in addition to martial arts.
I studied whatever gave me strength, and I realized that if I somehow gained knowledge, I would have a place to use it.
It was the same at this moment.
‘If Groups 2 and 4 had heard this news, they would have united. Then, we will be slightly superior or at least equal to Group 1, whose number was slightly reduced due to the conflict with Group 3.’
However, there is no chance of winning in a head-to-head match against Group 1 opponents, who would have experienced a team match once and boosted their morale by winning.
The only way for groups 2 and 4 to win was through surprise attacks using terrain features or tactical formations. As mentioned earlier, in a fight between beginners, the one who dominates the initiative is likely to win.
The problem was that number 1 couldn’t have known that part either.
If you have the strongest senses and cognitive abilities among your lineage, you will be able to detect traps and ambushes that are below the level.
‘But if time is delayed, Group 1, who stole a large number of badges from Group 3, will have a huge advantage. Groups 2 and 4 need to somehow attack Group 1 before that.’
There is only one option left for the combined forces of Groups 2 and 4.
It was about defeating the leader, number 1, who could be said to be both the strength and weakness of the first team. The elites, led by numbers 2 and 4, take advantage of the melee to dig in and focus their attack on only number 1.
Group 1, which relies on one person’s charisma, would collapse as soon as he was eliminated.
‘As a result, if all three groups are ruined, I can defeat the rest by myself… There’s no way it would be such a bad story. Whichever side wins will have a greater chance of dealing with the remaining trainees in the forest.’
Even with Leonard’s skills, it was difficult to take down that number of people alone without a ounce of internal strength.
If you kill them or seriously injure them, you can subdue them with fear, but it’s not something you should do to children, and you’ll definitely be disciplined by the instructors.
In this situation, is there a way to turn the game around while adhering to the rules of outdoor training?
The answer came quickly.
there is.
“—It’s annoying, but it’s better than losing to the kids.”
“huh? “What did you say just now?”
Number 3, hearing a faint voice, perked up his ears.
Leonard asked, looking straight into her eyes.
“Number 3, do you want to repay number 1?”
“Of course it is! but… .”
Knowing that her capabilities could not reach Number 1 yet, she managed to swallow the words that were coming out of her throat.
Leonard recognized that and nodded once.
“I’m not saying you should fight one-on-one and win. “The idea is to give back to number 1, who destroyed your group, in the same way.”
“Let’s destroy 1 trillion? how?”
A group that can be said to be the strongest in terms of number, power, and resources, with just two people?
To Number 3, who looked at him with distrustful eyes, Leonard simply spoke in a calm voice.
“It is up to you whether you believe me or not. “If you accept my offer, you will become Article 6 starting today.”
It was not impossible to change groups during outdoor training.
This is because recruiting or dislodging members of other groups was also a strategy and one of the variables.
Number 3 closed his eyes for a moment when he heard those words, but then opened them and answered.
“Can I call you leader from now on?”
The intuition that had never betrayed her since childhood was pointing at him unwaveringly.
* * *
A few more days passed by after that.
“As expected, the marching speed is slow.”
Number 1 looked with a dissatisfied expression at the line that was carefully moving forward according to its orders.
Group 1, which has become the strongest force in the forest with one major victory, can no longer lose from the front. Groups 2 and 4 won’t know that either, so they’ll do their best to catch them off guard.
The only way to prevent that was to move forward like this.
“At any rate, time is on our side. “As long as we maintain this condition, victory is certain.”
“Know. That’s why I don’t say anything.”
It was just as number 5 said.
They do not recklessly approach terrain that could be disadvantageous, and gradually erode the range where groups 2 and 4 can operate.
The scouting range of the first group, which even drew up a map of the forest, albeit at a crude level, was gradually expanding. Even if the two groups just crouch in the base, it won’t take long for them to be found.
“under.”
It was that moment.
The bored expression disappeared, and a fierce smile appeared on Number 1’s face.
As soon as Number 5 saw that change, he raised his wooden sword high and stopped the first group’s march.
“stop! “Stop!”
“””stop!”””
Bokmyeongbokchang.
The 5th order was immediately conveyed to more than 100 children, and Group 1 immediately entered combat readiness.
It was a quick response.
The reason he was able to get this far without any training was because of his strong charisma. The power to make you truly believe that you can win if you do as he tells you!
“It’s good to humble yourself after realizing who is superior.”
With Group 1 like a hedgehog, Group 1 took a step forward from its position and glared into the shady forest.
As if there was someone hiding beyond it.
“If possible, how about declaring surrender first with your own mouth?”
The first voice rang out, and the forest became quiet for a moment, but soon filled with rustling sounds.
Dozens, no, more than a hundred people appeared, wading through leaves, twigs, and piles of dirt.
left and right.
The trainees who were divided into two groups appeared to be from groups 2 and 4.
“I got caught. “You go around pretending to be a lion and have a nose like a dog?”
Number 2, looking excited as always, stepped forward.
“joy! If you are standing on top, it is easy to look down. “If you don’t know that, you don’t have the right to stand before me.”
“Would you still be able to say that even if you put your face on the ground?”
“Don’t just talk loudly when you don’t have the ability to do so. “It seems out of character.”
“I don’t know since when being proud was synonymous with dignity.”
Number 1, who didn’t even raise an eyebrow at Number 2’s sarcasm, grinned and pulled out his wooden sword.
“I will at least praise you for ending the tedious wait. It is a fight that will decide who will stand at the top of this training. “Make sure you come with all your might, without leaving anything to spare!”
Likewise, Number 2, raising his wooden sword, spoke.
“I was planning on doing that even if you didn’t tell me, right? Attack!”
As soon as she said those words, the trainees from groups 2 and 4 rushed in with a cloud of dust.
In response, 1 trillion won responded in unison.
In the middle of a fight that was starting to get confusing, Number 1 was only paying attention to Number 2, who was approaching him.
“Number 5, I will leave the command to you.”
“All right.”
Number 1, who had entrusted leadership to Number 5, took a few steps toward him.
It wasn’t long before the two leaders met.
“You’re still very talented. “You can’t believe you can cleverly traverse this gap in the number of people.”
Number 2 did not fight with anyone until he stood in front of Number 1.
I just walked leisurely, as if I was taking a walk, and advanced as if penetrating all the blind spots.
Because she only had one enemy from the beginning.
“Shall we begin?”
“Sure.”
Number 1 responded to Number 2’s words and raised the wooden sword to the top.
The presence, which was already strong, swelled several times at the same time, making even the children fighting nearby stop their hands.
If Leonard had seen it, he would have evaluated the quality of being able to do this without a single ounce of skill as excellent.
However, number 2 was not easy at all.
“Do you really like showing off in front of others? “Don’t you think a peacock suits you better than a lion?”
“Call it majesty, something like a penny.”
In direct contrast to number 1, the wooden sword number 2 went downward.
Bottom tax.
They were focused on the defensive side but were also aiming for a counterattack.
The two people were facing each other in completely opposite postures, moving step by step, their eyes wide open trying to find a composition that was even slightly advantageous to them.
and.
grasp!
Number 1 kicked the ground and ran ahead of number 2.
