Chapter 745 – #96. Jinhaesol (49)
“They’re so nasty. They’re attacking as soon as the delegation goes back.”
“It’s prepared in advance, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
The battle lasted for quite a long time, perhaps because it was a war prepared in advance, or because it was a battle that the Geos Empire had restarted after a while.
“Your Majesty, the enemy forces are gathering at the eastern gate and are trying to attack!”
“Your Majesty! They say we have successfully defended the eastern gate!”
“Your Majesty, the enemy is attacking the northern gate with a surprise attack!”
“Your Majesty!! The northern gate was in danger of being breached, but the Knights say they successfully defended the northern gate!”
Communication was also developed by magic, so it was possible to receive the battle situation in real time.
“Your Majesty! Victory is coming! The enemy suffered great damage and retreated!”
After a long period of blood drying, the Geos Empire finally retreated.
The other nobles were delighted with the victory, but I was worried about the damage and asked about it first.
“What about the damage?”
“We are still assuming the damage, but it is estimated that about 3,000 people were killed and 10,000 soldiers were injured.”
“Three thousand people died? Even after victory!”
It was only natural that hundreds of people would die in a single battle.
However, it wasn’t money, and I couldn’t casually pass the number in the hundreds from the number of people counted one by one.
Moreover, the sad thing about war is that victory does not mean less damage.
The phrase “Victory that only hurts” Was exactly the current situation.
“Anyway, the fact that the north was almost penetrated once seems to be the cause of the increased damage.”
“The Geos Empire is using the advantage of personnel well.”
The Geos Empire had a long history, so it had a very large population.
The land is large, the terrain is fertile, and the history is long, so it was natural for the number of people to increase.
I haven’t counted the population accurately, but it’s at least twice, no, three times more than ours.
‘On the other hand, our empire expanded its land through wars of conquest, and brought in people from other countries as slaves to increase its population. The Geos Empire has had a strong sense of belonging as a nation for a long time.’
When the war, which is still only a taster, begins to break out in earnest, the Empire will suffer great damage.
The reason why we can steadily accumulate victories in the current situation is only thanks to a few comprehension talents.
“They look like they’re going to grind a lot of people…”
“Now that the envoys have returned, they must have been furious to hear what happened in the Empire.”
“Are you taking your anger out on the wrong place? Well, I expected it. I heard there are knights who played an active role in this battle, so I’ll have to award them.”
He had pointed out in his head the report that there was a group of knights guarding the northern gate.
The Geos Empire was a style that pushed the war by numbers, and our side was a style where a small number of talented people stirred up the battlefield.
The only way to win a war is to spare no elixir for talented people who have made a contribution.
If this was a world where mana did not exist, my choice might have been wrong.
It means that they will lead the war by trusting only a small number of talented people.
‘If I could explain this simply, it would be like copying Admiral Yi Sun-sin and sending him to the battlefield.’
But fortunately, this is a different world where mana exists.
It was a world of ridiculously unbalanced power where only one hundred per day, no thousand per day, or one per day was enough.
So, continuing to invest in talent is the right choice for me.
“Are you referring to the grace Your Majesty bestowed on you last time?”
There is no one who does not know that he achieved an increase in his skills by eating the elixir and breaking through the limits.
It is said that there is a lot of talk among the nobility about mysterious items that come out of nowhere.
And all of this information was included in the information that the concubine gave.
The current situation of nobles, the situation of hostile countries, the reason why Emperor Geos sent an envoy, etc.
The information shared by information merchants boasted as much knowledge as Internet search sites.
‘What would have happened if it wasn’t there.’
When the war with the Geos Empire is over, I’m thinking of creating my own intelligence organization.
To that extent, the information the concubine brought was being put to good use.
Of course, the price is paid with sex.
When I asked if he wanted something else, he said no.
“How many knights in total protected the northern gate?”
“There are 15 of them in total.”
If you give me one, the knight commander will eat it and wipe his mouth.
“Among them, there must be a knight who has achieved great achievements, right? I will give you three elixirs. Ask the knight who achieved great achievements to hand them over one by one.”
I didn’t give you a great elixir.
If I take it, it will play the role of restoring the physical strength that has fallen due to the schedule.
However, it seemed that the situation changed a lot when the person who handled mana consumed the elixir purchased with coins.
In the case of me, the elixir is not worth using, and if someone who knows how to handle mana consumes it, they will be able to absorb 100% of the nutrients in the elixir.
‘Sir…Should I learn that too?’
I heard that this body can handle mana.
So I told them to be careful when moving because they could be kidnapped.
When her main body and her body moved around, she listened to Pony’s warning and never entered the alleyway.
No matter who speaks to them, they never answer and just walk toward their destination.
To protect me from those who handle mysterious powers I don’t know about.
It doesn’t even make eye contact.
[The lowest level of mana (actual battle)- 3,000 coins]
[The lowest level of mana (theory)- 1,000 coins]
[Lesser Mana (Theory, Practice Bundle) – 8,900 Coins]
However, the reason he didn’t pay attention to it even though he knew he could do it with his body was because of the high price of mana-related products.
Even the lowest level books cost a total of 4,000 coins.
It is a luxury that is difficult to use carelessly from my point of view, which is in debt.
‘Done. What would I do with such power?’
He didn’t want to live here for a long time, and since the emperor was in a position to be protected by several knights, he didn’t have to use force.
I did not want to use coins indiscriminately out of momentary urge and greed.
‘I’d rather raise my knights than me with that coin.’
The elixir I bestowed upon the knights who made great contributions in the war went back.
The knights who ingested the elixir all at once achieved a high level of skill improvement, and from then on, the situation in the war began to change little by little.
“Your Majesty, the battle has been won!”
“Your Majesty, it is said that a general soldier of the Geos Empire took the head off!”
Aka ‘set the ball’.
If you make a contribution in the war, His Majesty will give you an elixir, and he will constantly look at you and give you a promotion!
At first, only the knights tried to build a ball, but by chance, an ordinary soldier set up a large ball and poured the elixir, and it became an uncontrollable flame and burned roaringly.
By the way, the soldier received not only the elixir but also the knighthood.
‘I can become a knight if I make a contribution in the war!’
For a commoner to become an aristocrat, even though it was a title that was impossible to inherit, brought great upheaval.
Being able to change one’s status in a world with strict identity is tantamount to changing one’s life.
Because it was not an easy opportunity to obtain, the soldiers who went to the battlefield began to run amok.
“Victory comes!”
“Your Majesty, they say you captured the remnants of Geos who were retreating!!”
“The captured prisoners are said to have almost arrived in the capital.”
Victory.
Win again!
Triumph after victory followed.
I was very scared because I heard that there was no answer to the quantity, but my worries were to the point of being colorless.
How great can desire be…
It cost them quite a bit to congratulate them for their achievements, but it didn’t feel bad.
Anyway, the empire needed more talented people.
However, the talent had to be discovered and used among the nobles, and it was possible to use the war as an excuse to turn smart commoners into nobles.
‘If that’s the case, it’s a really good thing for me that a real war broke out?’
In addition, it is said that the prisoner has finally arrived at the capital of the empire.
It is normal procedure to release prisoners captured during the war in exchange for money from the Geos Empire.
However, I was full of thoughts of making a concubine rather than freeing a prisoner for money.
Of course, I have no intention of putting anyone in the concubine.
Aren’t there some women from Geos nobles among the captives?
I intended to make such women my concubines.
‘What if those women act like spies?’
If you can act as a spy after having sex with me, that’s great.
Look at my concubines now.
Aren’t you looking with your eyes open to see if there’s anything more to pluck from your own family to sleep with me?
They insist that it would be good for the family if they had sex with me and got pregnant.
I never doubted my lower body ability.
♧ ♧ ♧
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
“Oops! Oops! Kuck!”
“Useless, worthless bastards!!”
“Lungs, Your Majesty…Ah!”
Wooddeuk-!
Kwajik!
“How could not even one victory!! How can it not be possible!!! My empire!! The Geos Empire looks ridiculous!!!!”
Bawk! Fu-billion!!
“Kuluck, buy, save me… Kkeak!”
“Throw that worthless bastard for poppy food!”
Gulp-!
“Yes! Your Majesty.”
The knights dragged the bloodied noble outside.
Emperor Geos, who took out his anger on the aristocrat who informed him that the war had been lost today, sighed and took a deep breath to calm his breath.
“Whoa…Ah… Whoa…Ah…”
I had to keep my mind straight.
Acting emotionally in this way will not change the outcome.
“How could he be so incompetent? The long peace has become poison!”
Soldiers and commanders did not know how to wage war properly.
Wasn’t that why he couldn’t capture a castle even with that many people?
“If Jim had gone out and made friends, the result would have been different…”
Because of the nobles who were absolutely against it, Emperor Geos could not leave the imperial palace.
