Chapter 950 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (8)
Between the temple and the temple to survive the Geos Empire.
The invasion of the Empire continued.
“Even with a large population… It’s really terrible.”
“They’re ignorant and vulgar. To think that these guys have lived proudly as a great power. I can’t believe it.”
The commanders fighting the war against the Geos Empire clucked their tongues at the enemy’s fighting style.
It’s none other than ignorant and vulgar tactics.
The problem was that the tactic worked so far that the castle had not been destroyed.
“He protects the castle by sacrificing people’s lives…How lightly he thinks of the lives of the people. Tsk tsk tsk.”
“Still, isn’t that working? Seeing the army rushing in, I get sick of it. I get sick of it.”
“Anyway, these guys can’t even sharpen a knife properly.”
The enemy’s damage was accumulating as time passed, while the South Korean army suffered from battle fatigue, but did not suffer significant damage.
If the war continued in this way, it was inevitable that we would eventually win.
“Because it’s taking too long. I don’t like it.”
“I promised you that I would bring victory to you with courage. This is disrespectful.”
“Haha, it’s only a matter of time anyway. Everyone cheer up.”
“We must also take care of the morale of our troops. Mindless killing is not good for our soldiers’ mental health.”
The soldiers of the Geos Empire were of very poor quality.
Nevertheless, the reason why the castle could not be recaptured was that the number was enormous as the quality was poor.
Being overwhelmed by the number of soldiers filling the surroundings, they could not get close to the walls at all.
Seeing that soldiers were being sent outside the walls, they seemed to think that defending the castle was more important than the soldiers’ lives.
“Blocking the city gates with human corpses. This is an absurd tactic.”
“Since the Geos Empire is overflowing with people, that level of sacrifice would be nothing.”
“It is enviable that the population is large, but it is disappointing that it is only at this level.”
“However, until when can’t we just keep cutting? We also have to do something.”
I couldn’t spend a meaningless time cutting off only the best.
War consumes enormous amounts of money every day.
The amount of food the soldiers ate was equal to the quantity, and everything they wore and slept on was money.
“It seems that His Majesty has recovered as well, but if we continue like this, His Majesty may eventually move again himself.”
“Okay…”
“That…”
It was a pleasure for His Majesty to rise from his seat, but the fact that nothing had been done up until then made the nobles uncomfortable.
Of course, His Majesty wasn’t the one who was disappointed or criticized for not being able to capture the castle right away.
Rather, if that side came out like that, we ordered to continue the war to minimize the damage of our allies.
He said that we should never fight the same way because the other side throws the lives of the soldiers as kindling.
Your Majesty was right.
However, from the point of view of nobles who wanted to make a contribution, the only problem was that the current situation was frustrating.
“Why don’t we try an all-out attack this time? They never attack us first anyway. So, when the enemy is caught off guard, we’re going to launch an all-out attack on one side.”
“Ohh…A total attack.”
“The other side, we are all exhausted.”
The other side was exhausted from the pouring out of people dying every day, and our side was also exhausted from mental fatigue from meaninglessly killing dozens or hundreds of people.
“Something has to come out now so that military morale can be maintained.”
“You probably can’t imagine us coming out like that. It’s a tactic that’s worked so far.”
A very careless enemy.
When the war begins, you will think about how many more people will die today, but you will have an unfounded belief that the outcome will not change.
That was carelessness, and the commander wanted to use it to seize victory.
“Shouldn’t our side survive if we eat one castle before His Majesty steps out again?”
“Let’s try it.”
“Then who the hell is the ball…”
“Ehehe! Now is the time to discuss the ball? If we do this, we will lose everything to His Majesty!”
“The most urgent thing is to show that our commanders are capable too!”
It doesn’t matter who has built more balls yet.
The important thing now was to show His Majesty that he had the ability.
“What will His Majesty think when he sees us saying things we can’t even keep?”
“You have to think that there are a lot of people who are looking for our place. Just because you’ve got this place shouldn’t make you feel comfortable.”
“That’s right. If you’re the Majesty I know, you’ll immediately cut down an incompetent guy and recommend a new one.”
Saying that you shouldn’t think that the position will last forever just because you were appointed as a commander made other nobles feel cold.
He only thought about making a contribution, but he didn’t recognize the fact that he might get caught in His Majesty’s eyes.
“Let’s all wake up. If we fight for the ball, it’s only after we’ve reserved our seats.”
From then on, the commanders began to work together and devise tactics on their own.
The most important thing for them now was their first victory.
⁘ ⁘ ⁘
“It’s exhausted. It’s exhausted.”
Despite being far away from the battlefield, the smell of rotting corpses was flowing in, probably because so many people had died.
As the war began, he was prepared for these things to some extent.
However, the war was certainly much more brutal and horrific in reality than what you see in texts or videos.
“I’ll have to accept the memories with as little sync as possible.”
Memories transmitted from the double body have usually been accepted as if I experienced them myself.
However, after the war started, I was accepting the memory of the clone body as much as possible as if I was watching a movie.
Nevertheless, the horrors of war, which were much more vivid than dreams, were severely deteriorating his mental health.
“I knew it was incompetent, but I didn’t expect it to be this far-fetched. Does it make sense to prevent corpses from penetrating the walls?”
If the population is that large, do people not look like people?
I was tired of the number of soldiers pouring out to the point where I was tired of killing people.
After destroying the wall with the ‘item’ purchased at the store and eating one of the castles.
In order not to intervene my strength as much as possible in the war, I laid down on purpose and showed that I was very overworked.
That way the nobles would trust me and not be vigilant in the war.
So we were in a situation where we were minimizing our intervention, but the Geos Empire unexpectedly slashed the morale of our aristocrats.
“What will be left if we wage war in this way?”
Emperor Geos didn’t like it.
Of course, the same goes for the nobles under her command.
What do you think about human life?
Of course, that’s not what I meant when I started the war.
“Ehh.”
I wished someone would stop this ridiculous tactic of flesh-eating me.
However, even after time passed, none of our aristocrats were able to capture the Geos Empire’s ridiculous tactics.
“Are you glad you didn’t get pushed?”
There is one reason why this world does not work with man-made tactics.
Because knights and wizards exist.
The knights and magicians of this world are beings that warfare does not work on.
It is to create a situation where one genius can slice hundreds of people at once.
So human-human tactics lead to the worst and worst strategy in this world.
That was the reason why they couldn’t push us away even after pouring in that huge number of ‘humans’.
“No matter how low-level tactics are, humane tactics are not to be looked at lightly.”
However, the people’s tactics of the Geos Empire could not be ignored.
In a world where one genius can slice hundreds of people, isn’t he preventing the castle from being captured with man-made tactics?
Of course, there is a downside that the damage is enormous, but it is true that it is blocked anyway.
“These are the people who will eventually become our people when the war is over. It’s a waste, it’s a waste.”
In the end, I decided to shake myself off and get up a little earlier than I had planned.
He showed the nobles signs that he would gradually recover and rise.
Then what?
The commanders immediately proposed a new plan to me.
“Gun attack?”
“Yes, they are blocking the advance of our troops by investing a huge amount of troops, but if we all join forces and attack, I think we will be able to push back much faster than it takes to deploy soldiers.”
“If you drive the military into one place, they will move too.”
“That part is intended to trick the enemy.”
All the elite knights and wizards were driven into one place, and the rest of the castles sent soldiers as usual and pretended to wage war.
By the time they noticed something was wrong, it must have already been an all-out attack from us.
“Even if you try to stop it, it will be useless by then.”
In a word, this war was a battle between quantity and quality.
I was a little worried because I know that there is no answer to the quantity, but…
‘Because I saw firsthand how ridiculous the knights of this world are.’
They hadn’t failed yet, so it was necessary to believe in them.
“Okay. Let’s try it.”
At my permission, the commanders’ eyes sparkled unusually.
I can’t figure out what they are thinking.
Since there is something I showed them, they will want to appeal to me with their competence.
‘But the other side used human-caused tactics, so I couldn’t set up a single ball. How anxious will you be? It’s now a situation where it’s not a question of who gets more credit, but that it’s not only in the eyes of the emperor.’
Maybe that’s why, even if I didn’t have to do anything, it seemed like they were trying to get together and make a mark.
In war, the most important thing to be careful of is internal fighting.
For me, who has to keep in check and watch them bicker with each other, it was frustrating.
However, this was a problem that no one could solve.
There was one action I could do the most wisely here.
Rather than taking the side of any one person and favoring them, just waiting patiently and congratulating the nobles for their achievements.
The war had just begun.
The nobles who bring me victory will gain much, and the nobles who cause trouble will perish.
It was for this reason that he did not bother to block the nobles’ plan to do something.
‘It’s a country that will be ruled by a son who is still immature. Shouldn’t we take care of the trolls as neatly as possible?’
