chapter 39
“aa!!!”
“You crazy monster bastard..!”
“Open! Spread!”
!!!!
crush with overwhelming force.
It kneels the opponent with strength that surpasses that of a human.
He wields the mana that comes out of his chest around his sword.
Even just swinging it, the air-ripping plosive sound fills the space.
The scars of the sword left on the ground lifted up countless mud, and the artificially created twists in the space injure the adversary standing in the way.
Garcia’s muscles were inflated for the use of force, and the muscles that had evolved further through training showed off their bloodline and boasted a vicious majesty, as if responding to Garcia’s will.
Garcia’s muscles, which quickly omitted contraction and expansion, were too much for ordinary people to handle.
“This is over, Vivian.”
“..hhh…a real monster…”
“How many times have I not said that it’s better to do physical training like that? The problem is that your wizards don’t have too much stamina.”
“…Didn’t you ever think you were a monster? Being a wizard my size, I was able to follow you this far! You idiot with muscles!”
“I don’t know.”
“Really! Go back and see!”
A few hours ago, Vivian and Garcia set out to find the Failing Team’s raid team, which had constantly attacked them.
Garcia and Vivian immediately attacked them, and the failing raid squad were immediately attacked by Garcia and Vivian without even having time to contact Rommel.
When the fast-paced communication, which was one of the reasons they were able to press the honor class, went to nothing due to a surprise attack by Garcia and Vivian, the surprise squad was nothing more than a meat shield in front of them.
Even so, I tried to fight it by spreading my own square, but… Garcia and Vivian’s pincers, who were so monsters, were too much to stop with just three ordinary students from the failing class.
” ..Vivian.”
“Why? Did they show up again?”
“No, look at this.”
” …This? “
Garcia pulled something out of the pockets of the fallen students and showed it to Vivian.
When Vivian saw something Garcia had brought, she looked seriously at Garcia, who had quickly hardened her face.
A sphere-shaped crystal ball that glows in purple, a magical item widely used within the Empire as a communication sphere.
This communication port used for communication between the military as well as aristocrats boasted such a high price that ordinary commoners could not even see it.
By the way, those items came out of the pockets of the failing class.
It was only then that Garcia and Vivian realized how they had been able to predict their movements and respond quickly.
” ..how they saw through our movements..Now I understand.”
“Communication area.. How can the guys in the failing class buy such an expensive item? No, rather than that, this communication area is purple. It must be something that boasts a fairly high price among the communication areas..?”
” …it doesn’t matter how they got the communication, Vivian. What matters is that they have the communication.”
“..Yes, that’s right. Assuming they have a lot of these communication ports… it makes all sense that we’ve read all of our movements.”
While Vivian and Garcia were looking at each other and reconciling their opinions.
Garcia sensed the sound of footsteps slowly approaching this way.
“I’m sorry, Vivian.”
Suddenly, Garcia grabbed Vivian’s hair by the back of her head and pressed her down.
“Hey!”
Thanks to this, Vivian’s face fell to the floor, but Garcia was looking at the other side with a serious expression.
” ..you.. what are you doing now..! “
“Shh, be quiet.”
Vivian spit out the dirt that had entered her mouth and glared at Garcia.
Even his father had never touched his face…! It wasn’t enough for that indifferent stone-like guy to put his hand on his face, so he drove it to the floor.
He tried to swear at Garcia with a poisonous expression on his face, but Vivian saw Garcia’s expression and had an intuition that the situation was unexpected.
“Hey, where did the 4th group go? Weren’t you guys here before?”
“Aren’t you flirting?”
“What do you do when you get caught in the rush?”
“That’s right.”
From the other side, the failing class students started walking towards this side.
If you make a mistake, you may be surrounded in the middle of the enemy camp.
Garcia and Vivian lowered themselves as much as possible and waited for them to pass.
If they found Garcia and Vivian… then they had no choice but to fight back.
” ..there’s nothing here, let’s go.”
“Yeah, it’ll get dark in a little while. Let’s go back to the base quickly.”
“Yeah, they must have gone to the base too.”
Fortunately, they went back to the base without doing much searching.
Vivian and Garcia were finally able to breathe.
“Whew..”
” ..return to the base before it gets dark, Vivian.”
” ..yes. “
The darkness that slowly begins to swallow the light in the forest.
Garcia and Vivian stood up to hurry back to their base before the forest was swallowed up by darkness.
Although the shape was a mess… Still, there was a harvest of its own.
A purplish communicator.
If you use this communication channel to interrupt their communication… you will be able to bring victory over here.
Coming to the forest alone with Vivian was a handshake that shouldn’t have been done as a commander, but in the end it was a meaningful action.
Whatever the process, the results are good.
It didn’t matter anyway.
Garcia led her tired body and returned to the base with Vivian.
**********
“You mean you can’t see Section 4?”
“The 3rd group reported it right away, but seeing that they haven’t returned so far…”
“It’s safe to say that you’ve already been hit.”
Tick, tick.
The embers spread out into the air, and the path that the embers passed became a bright light, illuminating the tunnel.
And inside the tunnel, Kurz and Rommel were eating jerky and talking.
Seeing that the moon and stars did not return until late, when the moon and stars were already illuminating the ground, it was clear that something had happened.
“Isn’t the Dark Bear attacked?”
“Even though dark bears are nocturnal, this is not a habitat for dark bears. If they did, fingernail marks would remain on the bark of trees long ago.”
“That’s right.”
The dark bears that dominate this area leave their mark on the bark, which is a characteristic of wild animals to declare their territory.
Inside the forest, before I settled down here, I checked for any traces of the Dark Bear, so the attack of wild animals… was unlikely.
“The honor class guys are starting to crawl out.”
“These guys? They’ve been stuck in the base for about two days and haven’t come out.”
“It’s time to move slowly. Pride is pride, but… to break through the situation, you have to break through a wire.”
Whether voluntarily or unintentionally, a way has been opened for them.
The communication area, which is the core of the wolf tactic, has been taken away by them.
In this case, you need to change your strategy.
” ..it will probably take a little thought.”
“Did you lose your communication channel?”
“Ugh, when that person starts playing around with the communication channel, there’s no limit. It’s a bit of a pain in the butt… It’s not like there’s no way at all.”
“Are you talking about the passphrase?”
“That’s the best way, but then it’s no fun.”
Setting a password and recognizing the enemy’s tricks is the most standard method, but I wanted to use the opportunities that came up a little more widely.
So I took a communication tool from my pocket, showed it to Kurz, and continued talking.
“Let’s take this opportunity the other way around.”
” ..Send false information?”
“Bingo, of course, we also need to be well prepared, but… if we dig a trap… it’s a different story.”
Losing communication is a mistake.
However, commanders must have the ability to turn mistakes into opportunities, so I decided to divulge false information to my enemies.
“I’m sure you’re eavesdropping on communications by now, so go to the platoon commanders and tell them nothing.”
“Anything?”
“Anything..everything is fine, a little joke or a story about a girlfriend..just miscellaneous stories.”
“I understand the intention, but I don’t know why. What does that mean?”
“It doesn’t make much sense, it’s just a way to reassure the enemies. The important thing is that they don’t know that we’ve lost communication.”
deception operation.
An operation to deceive and deceive the enemy.
” ..and deliberately leak one important operational information. Here.”
I pointed my finger at a certain point on the map that formed the forest.
“I’m spreading information about gathering troops here.”
” ..will they really be deceived?”
“I’m deceived.”
They turn their heads and look at the other side of the forest where they are staying.
Suddenly, the battlefield began to settle, and the period of confrontation was getting longer.
Now… it’s time to put an end to it.
“…don’t be fooled, there’s only one way for them to choose. In the end, they have to crawl out.”
” Okay. “
“Yeah, go and work.”
“You work hard too.”
“Ugh.”
Kurz left the room and I glanced at Louis, who was sleeping peacefully next to him.
Using the witch’s hat as a pillow, Louis fell into a coma as she fluttered her cheeks cutely next to the bonfire.
“…what the hell are you thinking?”
For some reason, I poke Louis on the cheek.
The soft and chewy feel is transmitted through the nerves of the fingers.
A few days ago, Louie asked to go to his hometown with him.
I don’t know what the f*ck is thinking..
But one thing is certain.
” ..I believe it for a while.”
It’s the fact that Louis has a lot of trust in me.
“I’ll think about it first.”
I may not be able to hear it after falling asleep, but I honestly conveyed my sincerity to Louis.
There was still a lot of work to be done, and it was complicated politically…
“Let’s rest a little.”
I also took a seat next to Louis, and sat down and slowly closed my eyes.
Tick, tick.
The sound of bonfires slowly creeping into my ears, and grass bugs howling hard at night.
Listening to the harmony they created, I fell asleep quietly.
