Chapter 30: You Are Me (1)

"Hahahahahaha!"

At Kreon's smile, the man next to him asked with a rather tired face.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Gerin was stolen. stupid guys. Garbage bastards."

" Isn't that a serious problem? I don't think it's funny.

At the man's words, Krion glanced at him and smiled.

"It was Jamie Welton who did it all. How could you not laugh?"

note.

I didn't understand, but the man kept his mouth shut because he thought he would hear something if he grabbed a pod for nothing.

I don't know why I am here now in the first place.

Man, Vincent could barely hold back his breath.

Because he realized that it was important to keep an eye on him as much as he could if he was going to survive this mad boss.

Instead of asking why he laughed, Vincent asked about his plans for the future.

"It is said that Earl Welton's army and reinforcements from Rendry Kingdom have arrived. What do you plan to do? I heard that a Sword Master was also included."

"What would you like Lieutenant Vincent to do?"

Yes? Well ."

Bewildered by his superior's counter-question, Vincent glanced at the 25,000 men that followed.

He knew that the northern army, which had completely recaptured Guerin Castle at present, was a little over 20,000.

In addition, there are three archmage alone and three sword masters.

Among them, Jamie Welton is an archmage who has reached the supreme state.

I hadn't heard of Jamie becoming a sword master, so I figured it out as three, but in reality there were only four sword masters.

Besides, Earl Wellton is a Grandmaster.

Anyway, even if Jamie did not know that he was a sword master, the difference in power was overwhelming.

There is Kryon who has reached the status of a Grand Master, but if you think about it calmly, at least two or three Master Classes were needed here too.

'In other words, why did the Apostle pack things like this?'

Did you read something in the war simulation 'Spiral of the Battlefield'?

Creon looked at Vincent, who was thinking deeply, and opened his mouth.

"Did you say you joined the Seven Knights last year?"

Ah yes. It hasn't even been a year yet."

While I was away, you pressed Barba and was promoted to the temporary Zenith's sword?

Barba was the second most powerful person after Kreon in Seven Knights, and he was a paladin who blocked the Holy Executioner who came to support at the time of the Apton Incident 5 years ago.

He was a man of great ambition, and he had plans to threaten Kryon's place one day.

He lost "overwhelmingly" to Vincent, who had been commissioned as the Seven Knights for less than a year.

"Uh, um I think I was lucky."

"Luck. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk If Barba hears it, he will burst into tantrums."

Creon felt a variety of emotions at the sight of Vincent, who looked like this fierce yet annoying world.

Especially the feeling I felt when we first met.

It was definitely a win-win.

I can't fight because of the situation, but if I get a chance, I'd like to see each other at least once.

If there was a god of swords, he was the embodiment of talent that was comparable to being an apostle of swords.

I couldn't confirm it myself, but I've heard that Vincent's awakening power is enormous.

From the innate swordsmanship to the awakened power.

"The world is wide, and there are many absurdities."

Starting with Jamie Welton, who is on the enemy line right now.

But, as always, there is a balance in the world.

The spiral of the battlefield has acknowledged it, so the game of this war will turn to Zenith.

"Hah ha ha ha ha!"

" ."

Vincent looked at his boss smiling like a madman again, sighed heavily and shook his head.

I just want to go home.

* * *

"I didn't know it would be so easy to retake."

Simon looked down on the city he had recaptured from Guerin's walls.

Jamie, who was next to him, nodded as if it was the same.

"In the end, as long as there was enough power to break through in one shot, it could be solved at any time."

"Sometimes I wonder if wizards are too powerless."

"It was strange in a case like this. Who would have thought that they had thousands of anti-magic artifacts in stock."

"That's not true either. Anyway, Zenith, these crazy bastards."

Jamie, who didn't expect the thick swear words to come out of Simon's mouth, said with slightly widened eyes.

"You always talk politely, and you know how to cool off even cursing."

"Is that right?"

"It is."

"By the way, you've been dragging a lot of ignorantly."

The two were currently looking at the magical weapons that Therizia had been dragging.

As if these were really intentional, there were three more bunker breakers that fired at the walls of Aegean.

Not only that, but he also obtained a large amount of mana stones, ranging from at least grade C to grade A.

There were also ten homunculus that Katarina had built as a spare.

"If it wasn't for you, all the roads leading to the North would have been cleared."

Simon sincerely thought so.

If Jamie had not appeared with Beiryl that day, Egeene would have been captured.

In addition, he and Rinmer could have been fatally wounded and retreated, or, if he had been unlucky, might have died.

As such, the East is dense and has prepared many things.

"Shoot them all at Krion's army that's coming."

Jamie said as he stroked a bunker breaker with his hand.

Three bunker breakers could inflict devastating damage to the enemy as well.

If that happens, Kryon's expression will also be very attractive.

"Let me put it right there."

please.

"But where did Earl Wellton go?"

"He came to greet General Calgar's army, who came to support him from Rendry."

"Then it will be arriving soon."

Jamie nodded.

Reinforcements from Rendry are arriving soon.

The reinforcements they were supposed to send from Apsilon didn't even start for some reason, but they had a good chance of winning just with the troops they had now.

No, beyond the odds, the power was overwhelmingly superior.

'If there is a gap like this, the advance might be stopped.'

Kryon's army will arrive here tomorrow.

From then on, a full-fledged siege will begin.

However, the unknown anxiety made me feel uncomfortable in my heart.

The number of masters, the number of troops, and the number of weapons were all superior to this one.

In other words, it's not a siege concept, but a head-on bang in the open! Even if they did, this side had a higher chance of winning.

Even so, there is only one reason why Krion's army does not stop.

'What did the spiral of the battlefield illuminate?'

A relic created by Zenith, the god of war.

It is a holy relic with a deceptive ability that is limited to war, which calculates the causality rate of all wars and predicts the win rate.

In the siege of Aegean, the result was different because he could not take into account his supreme existence, but this time he must have put it into the input value.

'I don't know what the spiral of the battlefield showed you guys .'

Jamie's eyes turned purple for a moment, then subsided.

That's right, a holy thing created by Janice.

In his previous life, even when he was Diablo Volfir, Zenith, who was called war itself, knelt down at his feet over and over again.

The holy relics would not have been better than their masters.

Then, there is nothing to fear.

"I'll break it again this time, Janice. Let's see what the natural enemy is.

* * *

"Master Calgar, long time no see."

"Master Wellton. Was it the last time you saw the swordsmanship conference?"

Earl Welton and General Calgar of Rendry Kingdom shook hands as representatives.

They were members of the same Northern Swordsmanship Association and had been seated together several times at the Society.

"Leave the soldiers to my lieutenant, and let's go inside. Everyone is waiting inside."

"That's right."

General Calgar left some instructions for his lieutenant and headed with Earl Wellton to the top floor of Guerin Castle.

On the top floor, there was an operational command room, where all of the master class were gathered.

When the Count opened the door, Calgar bowed silently and went in first.

Then, looking at his outstanding face, he greeted me like a gentleman as if it was an honor.

"Everyone is welcome. This is Karlgar Brown, dispatched from the Kingdom of Rendry."

As a general of the Rendry Kingdom, famous for being a gentleman's country, Kalga was a man who valued politeness.

Others greeted him with a smile as well.

Earl Wellton put his hand on Calgar's back and guided him to his seat.

"After everyone is seated, I will introduce you one by one."

please.

After everyone was seated, Earl Wellton introduced them one by one, and Calgar greeted them one by one with a bright face.

Then, when Jamie was introduced, I woke up with my eyes wide open and felt like a fan.

Oh my God. I heard it on the way. There is an Archmage who has reached the supreme state. But you are a sword master... Is that just what you did? I can't believe it. What in the world is such an absurd talent. Are you really Master Welton's son?!

"Yes, he is my full-bodied son."

"Really, the world seems to love Seldam. Anyway, nice to meet you. It is an honor to have met everyone here, but to have met you is especially an honor. Master Jr., thanks to you, I have more things to be proud of when I go back."

"Rice, don't tell me anything."

Jamie looked a little embarrassed by Calgar's overreaction.

Others laughed at the rare sight.

After all the introductions, a strategic meeting began on how to deal with the Kreon army, which will arrive here tomorrow.

"The power is far superior to us. In addition to that, there are even magical weapons captured from the enemy, so I think it would be easy to deal with them based on Mercury."

"I am of the same opinion as Elder Simon. Not only that, there are three archmages of class 8 or higher here. One of them has reached the supreme state, and even became a sword master."

Everyone nodded at Simon's and Linmer's comments.

In fact, there was no such thing as a strategic meeting.

Considering all the geographical advantages of this place, starting with the objective difference in power, no matter how much the army led by Zenith's sword, there is no chance of winning.

"Our goal is not to win an immediate war. Victory is a matter of course, and after that we must mobilize additional troops to invade Therizia."

"You already have consumed a lot of troops and resources, so this time it's our turn, isn't it?"

"I agree with both elders."

"I will obey your will. Your Majesty said that the decision of the army should be left to the will of Seldam."

Kalgar raised his hands as if he was going to do what he told him to do.

Therizia will pay the price for their failure to invade the Cheshan, and the Zenith will lose their strongest paladin.

If that happens, the power of the East will be significantly weakened.

The situation is definitely flowing in the direction of victory for the northern continent.

Everyone thought so.

Except for one.

I do not know.

Jamie said so.

All eyes were focused on Jamie.

"What do you mean?"

In response to Linmer's question, Jamie shared her thoughts with everyone.

"Krion, don't they know that they are at a disadvantage?"

"Are you saying that something will happen?"

"It's a battlefield spiral. Last time, causality was out of line with the appearance of me and Sir Beiryl, but not this time."

"But even if they have a secret weapon we don't know about, the difference in power is clear."

Right. To be honest, it doesn't make sense for us to lose. But, what if the goal is not to win?"

Everyone's expression darkened at those words.

What if the purpose of war is not victory?

"I know it sounds weird. I'm not saying I'm sure either. However, in the current situation, it is necessary to keep it in mind. Zenith is a war cult."

Zenith's god is war and peace.

Two contradictory words symbolize him.

Therefore, it is the most specialized in war among the 12 denominations.

No matter how good the ally's objective power is, the world doesn't always go according to theory.

Jamie was saying that.

"Variables can always be created. So we have to come up with a plan to outwit them."

"It seems to make sense."

Calgar was the first to empower Jamie.

The others nodded one by one.

"You are right. As long as the opponent is a war cult, it can be poisonous to press lightly with force."

"Then let's think about what to do. Because it's still night.

They didn't stop meeting until the night was over.

For a more perfect victory.

And when the sun rose the highest.

Kryon's army began to take shape.
