50 The Robotic Empire is heading towards the Great Desert. (This is the beginning of monetization.)

Kara's urban center is very quiet and energetic. Previously, the children who came every day and kicked a loud ball were not seen today, and the continental merchants who bartered trade goods all over the city were also greatly reduced.

‘A million troops from the Kingdom of Robos set out to defeat Kara. ’

Kara's citizens were living in fear of the nightmare-like future that would soon come upon them.

Of course, to be honest, it's not even a million. 150,000 is all I know. However, when 150,000 combat soldiers come, almost that many war merchants, engineers, construction workers, business women, etc. are followed by 300,000, and 300,000 is disappointing, so it's just one million.

However, 150,000 is not enough power to see. If they line up in front of Kara Castle, you can't see the horizon at all. So the fear of one million or 150,000 people who are holding them hostile was about the same.

“There's no need to worry in the middle of a battle. I'm not going to die.”

An exciting office. I was having a heated consultation in front of an old man. The old man was a well-known landlord in Kara, and he was seeking my advice because of the anxiety of the war.

The old man listened to my story and asked me questions.

“But aren't the flaming arrows coming from beyond the walls and the catapult rocks? ”

“How many people will die from that? No matter how fierce the battle, one in a thousand will die. What's really scary is right after the war is over. ”

“Yes?”

“A few days after the castle was occupied, the civilians almost died. Murder, cowardice, looting. At this point, the human life is less than the life of Paris. ”

The old man swallowed a dry saliva.

“To what degree? ”

“Just think of it as an open diagram of hell. Of course, if the enemy commander is a great personality, he can also ban looting. How easy can that be? When a tough soldier comes out of someone's house with a silver candlestick, everyone's eyes flip. ”

“Oops · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“But knights and regular soldiers are more human. It's controlled from above. Well, naive soldiers like to stick a few bucks in it. The problem is mercenaries. They're not supposed to be human. It's just a pile of crap. As soon as a bunch of mercenaries walk in the house, everyone in the house is dead. ”

Mercenaries are out of control. And unlike the occupants who would have to rule that city in the future, they were the ones who only needed to make money. Of course, after the plunder, they couldn't put their hands on things.

“Are mercenaries so cruel? ”

“Yeah. As soon as they enter the mansion to plunder, they start slashing people's throats. He's trying to create an atmosphere of fear so he can give himself money and valuables. And then you kill them one by one, and then eventually you're the only one left, and if you start begging for no more money, well, then you're gone, and you stab yourself in the knife and you go to the next house.

I will. ”

“Oh, my. How so? ”

“So just in case? You know any mercenaries? ”

The old man nods.

“Yes, I had hired a few times because a magic potion appeared on my farm. ”

“Oh, he's dead. What should I do?”

“Yes?”

“The mercenaries in Kara are disappearing. Where do you think they went now? Let's rob your house and sell it. We're going to the Robos Kingdom Army to fix it. ”

The old man's expression was unbelievable.

“No, but I have a human heart, do I think they should confiscate it? ”

I was so overwhelmed that I bruised the old man so badly.

“This old man is so naive. Where's the mercenary? They split up the pregnant woman alive and kicked her ass with that fetus. And now you've got addresses and property stamped on those kids. Then you must confess that you're dead. I'll be the first one to find your house. ”

The old man's face gradually turned to dirt.

“Are you sure? ”

“Yes, that's right. So I'll tell you what, I'll tell you how to live. ”

“Yes, please tell me. ”

I whispered in my ear.

“Now go to the whorehouse, give the pretty girls some money and let them into the house as eaters. ”

“Yes? Why? ”

“Pillage usually lasts a few days. That's all you have to do. After that, I get my security back. ”

“So?”

“So when the raid begins, call in the passing Robos soldiers and bring them into the house. And throw in some booze, set up some groceries, put the girl next to me. I'm asking you to let him stay. There's a moral to looting, so I don't go into a house that's currently being looted progressively. We only have a few days left. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“And do any of your daughters or granddaughters look adorable to men? ”

The old man hesitated.

“I don't know. Not really. ”

“Then start walking around the streets today and if you see a woman like that, bring her into foster care. ”

“No, why? ”

“There are some knights who can't join the Knights because their swordsmanship is poor. They're in charge of the Five Hundred or Thousand ligaments. If a kid like that stumbles by the house, run barefoot and get in the house right now. And introduce the stepdaughter, slaughter the cows, slaughter the pigs, even get married on the spot. Then it's over.

Touch me? ”

“Really?"

“Yeah, they're the bad guys on the front lines. Nobles? Elite Knights of the Knights? They're nothing. It's pointless and useless. But not the knights who rule the soldiers. He's got low eyes, a few hundred men, hands-on kids. Who dares to come? And lucky for me, he's stuck with Kara.

If it bites, it blows. You don't need all the top two. You're Kara's best man. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I got up and brought out a book from the bookshelf. The title is' How to Survive Plunder 100 Lines. ’, although the author is me, it is actually a book written by someone else.

“Take one of these. It contains many wars that I have experienced and have gathered in abundance. Starting today, hold it in your arms, read it over and over and engrave it on your chest. This book will save your life. ”

“Thank you, Master. ”

The old man held the book in his heart as if it were a myth.

I head for the Mage Launcher Display.

“And do you have any kids fighting in the house? ”

“Yes, there are some uninhabited eaters, and there are dozens of strong men. ”

“That's great. Buy a few of these. ”

I opened the shelf and pulled out the Mage Launcher. A guy with the lowest essence. He gave 38 gold leafs per person at a nearby Magic Workshop and made them in bulk.

“What the hell is that thing? ”

“Magic grenade launcher. Kids can catch mercenaries with this. Up to three of them. ”

“Really? Then why do you need such a dangerous item? ”

“When looting takes place, there's a group of veterans who specialize in looting in pairs of five to ten. It's a prime number, and it's maneuverable, so it's fast. They're probably gonna get there first. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

“But it's so unfair for them to die. They're nothing, actually. So close the door when you get here and shoot him. ”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Don't think about the next thing. If you just kill him and bury him in the backyard, no one will know. How do you know who killed who? And don't you think you should live for now? They're professional looters. They're ruthless. If we don't do something, everyone in the house dies. ”

The old man nods to see if you can understand. But I have to live for the rest of my life now anyway.

“Yes, you should. How much is it?”

“60 leafs of political gold. ”

Somewhat high, but reasonable amount We're at war. If the attack magic armor were sold at this price, it would be a very honest sale.

“Tax · · · · · · · · · ·. No, just give me your love. ”

“Good thinking. Excellent choice. I see you're paying for the night. ”

I started the calculation with a shivering smile. First 10 leafs of consulting gold, then 1 leaf of book value. This adds 240 leafs to four of the lowest Magic Grenade launchers, making it 251 leafs in total.

Except, of course, the cost of bringing a Magic Shot Launcher to wholesale here is 152, but the actual income is only 99 gold, but if you consult for a while and make this much money, it's a pretty good income.

Soon after sending the old man out, I hung up a closed panel at the door of the house. The local officials on the line outside shouted for quick consultation, but they chased away the snow. It's noon. Time to eat.

* * *

“It's Shura, sister. Let's eat.”

I went upstairs and opened a visit with Shura and her sister Armida. They expressed a strange concern, looking at the large circular sphere on the shelf.

“Oh my God. How many of them are there? It's endless. ”

“I see. I think I've got thousands already. ”

I slipped into their midst.

“What?”

“Yes, this is footage from the Polkin Gateway from Lane Zeinas in Euroa. ”

“Rain Zeinas?”

“Oh, it's EUROA's utility ship. ”

The buoyancy ship is a battleship operating in the heavenly city of Kronos and strangely sails in the sky, not the sea. Usually, they fly to the heavenly city of Kronos, but they often appear for surveillance purposes during human history and warfare.

I didn't know it was a Valkyrie buoyancy just floating away from the sky, but it was recognized by Humans as a star of war.

However, I had seen this buoyancy close by in the age of destruction. Hildefernosra was Katrine's buoyancy ship. During the Polkin Gateway Workshop, he shot airmen from the sky and helped the Gateway Defenders greatly.

I sat down and watched a video that appeared on the outside of a large circular sphere. This is the view of Polkin Gateway, looking down from the distant sky, and you can see Robos soldiers walking endlessly backwards from the gate.

“That's a lot of numbers. ”

Shura looks at the video with a worried look on her face.

“Will Kara win? ”

“You'll never win. Duke Bastein is leading that army. How are we going to win? Any sane man should pack up and run. ”

Shura gives me a look of concern.

“Is Duke Bastein really that great? ”

“Yes. The duc can't even beat someone who's seen the future. Strategic tactics themselves are volatile, and they're the masters of contingency. Tactics change rapidly, given the circumstances, but there's no point in looking to the future. ”

“Really? But is that a tactic? ”

“Yes, you can. Instead, the first line commanders must be good at their jobs. Duke Bastein's inaugural response comes from the ability of a first line commander. Under Duke Bastein, there are no graduates. ”

Shura clings to me desperately.

“Is there really no way to win? You know, the one in the bay? ”

“Well, there's no such thing as one. That's why I'm scared. ”

“Why?”

“Let me give you an example. Shura, have you ever played chess? ”

“No, I don't. ”

“But are you playing chess with the best chess master in the world? Can we expect a single victory? ”

Shura's eyes flutter.

“I don't think so.”

“Look, I don't have it. ”

“But you said before, there are exceptions to everything in the world, right? ”

I quietly tucked my chin.

“There's no way to put it that way. ”

“How? ”

“You're the only one running a chess game. Every word becomes a queen. Then Duke Bastein can't be too sharp. Hehe.”

“But that's crazy, right? ”

I nodded quietly.

“Of course it doesn't make sense. But it could make sense. ”

“How?”

It's simple. I just need 1,000 of my old henchmen. Their limbs flew away, their hearts pierced, and they fought the devil with their swords in their mouths.

They're crazy. They came to sleep comfortably before their journey with knives in their families' hearts. With a thousand of these children and my strategy, I can defeat the current Duke of Bastein and 150,000 fighting men.

“A mad man breaks through like a madman to the weaknesses of the Robotic Empire. Then Duke Bastein can't be too sharp. Duke Bastein's strategy was created based on humans after all. No one who's not human can handle it. For now. ”

I've put a clue at the end that this is the current time. Duke Bastein and Duke Bastein eight years later are two very different people. Duke Bastein was also a lunatic at the time.
