Chapter 350 – Chapter 350 Marching Outward-10
The moment the basement struck the sword, the sword raised its head and shouted.
“Sir, it would be better to use him as a messenger rather than kill him.”
“Okay?”
Jiha, who stopped his arm, answered vaguely.
Carl said with a nod of his head.
“It seems that our hands and feet are somewhat out of sync because we couldn’t read the commander’s will properly. I want you to give me one chance to make up for it.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Let’s send him back and convey the commander’s intentions to the Fairy Queen. It won’t be too late to turn La Russa into a sea of blood.”
“What if the work gets longer?”
Carl said forcefully.
“At that time, I will personally punish Kyumal and ask for forgiveness.”
“Good. Try.”
Underground calmly drew the sword.
Gyumal let out a sigh with a face that survived the death.
His complexion turned blue, he forced a laugh and shouted.
“I will put my head on the line so that the Fairy Queen can come and clear up the misunderstanding. Commander!”
“…”
Ji-ha looked at Gyu-mal’s leg and nodded his head.
Then the soldiers got up, hugged the silk from both sides, and disappeared.
Now, only Ashira and Carl are left by the basement.
Ashira asked cautiously.
“… Was it a ruse just now?”
Apparently, the order Ashira received directly from the underground was to threaten Larussa from the outside, but not to engage in armed conflict.
However, Jiha casually said that it was a misjudgment on the spot.
“It is a strategy. Mr. Ashira.”
Carl looked up into the basement, expressionless.
“What would you have done if I hadn’t stopped you just now?”
“Killed him.”
The fact that Jihaa looked at the knife before pulling it out meant that he should take care of himself and stop it.
It was a directing to make Gyu-mal misjudge the atmosphere of the camp.
Asira asked, even more flustered.
“Isn’t he the envoy who came to surrender?”
“I can’t believe it completely, and if you really want to surrender, I don’t mind killing at least one envoy. I just killed it because the spitting bothered me, so I can implicitly tell you to come up with the next envoy. Gasiel is in the city, but we can’t hold him hostage.”
Unique and an Elyos, once she tried to run away, it was very difficult to catch her.
That’s why I sent them to play pigeons.
“If it’s a political group that cares about face or prestige, this won’t work. But these guys are merchants.”
It may be a trap, or it may not.
However, it is too cumbersome to try to dig up the authenticity.
It’s enough just to tear it apart by force.
‘I just need to tell them that following me will be more beneficial.’
Carl asked cautiously.
“Then what are you planning to do next?”
“I have to take a hostage.”
The basement said calmly.
“When war approaches, merchants see it as an opportunity to make big bucks while protecting what they have. There is a desire to preserve their wealth by showing me as best as possible, and there is also a desire to see if the Red Union is worth investing in. It’s not even possible to hang out with such petty farmland.”
“Then…”
“The hostages are half their property. Carl, tell Gyumal to decide by midnight tonight.”
Ashira was taken aback by the conclusion of the underground.
“If I gave you half of what I had, I wouldn’t obey.”
“I would do it if I thought it would be more profitable to stick with me in the long run. War is a lucrative business. You make me think that if I surrender now, I will be able to get the priority of various projects.”
“… Are you telling me to lie?”
“The future is up to those guys to do.”
Jiha said that and looked at the knife.
If it was the sword that had been plotting all kinds of schemes for the survival of the Dark Elves, it would have done it with ease.
Carl looked at him with deep eyes.
“It’s not just that.”
“In extreme situations, your true colors are revealed.”
Gyumal may not be an ordinary merchant. It could be a trap.
So, push yourself to reveal your true colors.
It was an order from the underground to Carl.
Asira, who had been listening in bewilderment, spoke quickly.
“Wait, I want to proceed with this.”
“It doesn’t fit you.”
Asira was outstanding for her military talents and leadership as a general, but she was no match for such scheming or deception.
“I will proceed with Carl’s advice. I want you to leave it to me.”
“…”
What do you think?
She first nodded her head and said.
“Then go first. The sword remains.”
Ashira straightened her back, got up and walked away.
Carl asked the man’s basement abruptly.
“How do you see Ashira?”
“He was a beloved general. Her soldiers, regardless of her race, who are commanded by her, adore her. Not only her appearance, but also considers the grievances of her soldiers, and sometimes takes care of the dirty work herself to win the hearts of the soldiers. The best thing about her is that she does it all naturally and without calculation.”
“What about military talent?”
“It is a talent that can be used in large rotations as well as guerrilla warfare. The evaluation that he led the demons and performed brilliantly in the local battle and clash with Purple was not wrong. Outstanding.”
“Are you better than Enlil?”
Carl shook his head.
“Enlil can drive soldiers harshly, but he is not loved. It is not the wood of the duct.”
“It dried well.”
“…”
As the work progressed underground, it was tested to see if Carl was aware of his intentions.
Carl groaned.
“Are you testing me too?”
“It’s a combination.”
Loyalty comes first for his men, but sometimes you need a quick wit too.
“What were you planning to do if I hadn’t noticed and didn’t know?”
“Killed it. You saved the gyumal. It made things go a little smoother.”
“… Can I be honest with you?”
“It is an attractive proposition. Say it.”
Carl groaned.
“I never want to turn the commander into an enemy.”
Jiha is used to getting a lot out of one situation.
Since Ashira and Carl were really embarrassed, even Kyu-mal would believe that the basement was serious and not just a threat.
“And Gyumar will trust me for saving his life… I will trust what I say and show my true colors more.”
Carl is also an old schemer.
“Is he really normal?”
“Yes, there is no information that it possesses magical powers.”
“Be alert.”
Underground short words, Carl nodded his head.
“All right. I will be careful.”
“Then go. Be on the sidelines and assist Ashira so that she doesn’t make mistakes.”
Carl hung his head and left.
Jiha, who was finally left alone, closed her eyes while riding on the horse.
‘Just when I was about to strike the sword… Gyumal’s complexion turned blue, but that was all.’
It wouldn’t be strange if you were a really normal merchant.
Maybe it was just because I was so surprised.
I’ll have to check it out soon anyway.
Underground turned the horse’s head.
Barracks were being erected under the swift direction of Enlil.
Early evening.
Underground was bathing in the commandant’s barracks.
Wordsland is generally a civilization of the Middle Ages, but water supply facilities and fashion were greatly developed.
In the city, hot water was provided generously, and bras with wires were easily purchased.
It is easy to wash, so cleanliness is taken care of.
It’s just that in camp, you put hot water in a wooden barrel and soak your body.
‘It’s been a while since Gyumal went back to the city, so now my intentions must have been conveyed to the Fairy Queen. On the one hand, since my warning was sufficiently delivered to the merchants, including Gyumal, by Asira and Carl, a commotion arises in one way or another. Gasiel has faithfully reported the bases inside the city…’
The basement closed its eyes.
‘We’ll take over this city today and tomorrow.’
The problem is Legend.
‘Chun-ho should know about the advance of the Red Union, but he has no sign of summoning troops. They’re telling me to try it if I can occupy La Russa, but this is something I believe in.’
The problem is the Snow Queen who broke out of hermitage.
She has gathered as much information as possible, including the legend Iroha, who roams alone, but is currently unable to locate her.
‘I think it’s going to come out of nowhere and get messy…’
Underground’s current operational plan was to capture 3 cities as quickly as possible and attack the Blue Seal’s capital.
Cheonho is in the capital. The last unique is unknown, but if necessary, it can be dealt with as a unique.
But the legend, the Snow Queen, had the power to distort all underground strategies.
‘I’d like you to come out as soon as possible…’ …’
While the underground was lost in thought, a presence was heard from outside.
“Asira Hellsrunner. Can I go in, underground?”
“Come in.”
Ashira, who asked for permission, entered.
Not the usual leotard, but the red uniform.
It was the uniform of the Red Union, a uniform that stuck to the body and revealed the lines.
Ashira, who came with a lamp in her hand, was taken aback when she saw that her basement was hidden in a wooden barrel naked.
“Sir, excuse me.”
“Say.”
The basement didn’t care and urged.
Even though Ashira was embarrassed, she glanced at the submerged part under the breast of the basement.
Then the basement spoke first.
“Is that a prototype uniform?”
“Ugh. Okay. I came because it was number 7, how does it look to you?”
A uniform attire creates a sense of belonging.
As the underground raised the Red Union, one of the things they cared about was uniformity in their outfits.
‘Of course, depending on the culture, norms, and gender of the tribe, modifications should be allowed, but the base remains the same. And it’s effective to pay more attention to uniques that will stand out on the battlefield. It sounds like a uniform for a female idol group, but it’s effective.’
So, she made several designs and entrusted the production to a clothing company.
One of the prototypes was worn by Ashira.
“…”
Asira was quite nervous, looking at her basement.
Overall, the red tone and white outfit, and the neatly covered top from the neck to the wrist, only slightly exposes the stomach.
Conversely, the pants that fit her legs are open at the side, drawing attention.
“This version isn’t bad, but it’s a bit underexposed. It looks too cramped because it covers from the neck to the chest. Loosen up.”
Asira did as she said and unbuttoned her top, exposing her breastbone.
If you save the exposure, the charm comes out.
Jiha thought for a moment, then she said.
“This time, overall not bad. But tell me that the general level needs more characteristics that ordinary soldiers will immediately recognize. Give it gold points or tell me to try it.”
“Um, I see. Don’t tell me that.”
Asira nodded her head while touching the hem of her own clothes.
She said the basement was comfortable.
“As you know…”
“A general who leads an army on the battlefield must stand out from the eyes of his allies and overwhelm the enemy. So he should emphasize beauty while wearing fancy clothes?”
“Yes, correct answer. You are especially important.”
What if a courageous commander who could crush thousands of enemy soldiers was beautiful?
The morale of allies rises greatly.
The morale of allies rises more if you wear clothes that emphasize its beauty.
It rises even more when he has even a uniform uniform that gives him the feeling that he is on the same side as his subordinates.
Ashira smiled bitterly.
“… I know what you mean, but I can’t. Not a good sample. It would have been better to see what Yura was wearing.”
“Your heart races because you are so beautiful?”
“What empty words…”
Ashira was ashamed of his underground praise and slurred her words.
Asira has a low opinion of his own appearance, so this compliment works well.
He turned the story underground.
“How did the gyumal go?”
“Before the end of the night, I promised to send the Fairy Queen to negotiate with you, and went back to my house.”
“What kind of woman is the Fairy Queen?”
“I didn’t even have to see it myself. I just heard that she is a rare rank and the head of the fairies.”
Well, you’ll find out within today.
“So?”
“… Some time ago she heard a wonderful story from Gasiel.”
A fight with Enlil?
Looking at the underground, Ashira hesitated a little, but then she tried to speak.
“I want to participate too.”
“What?”
“So, she is the woman who contributed to the strategy to capture La Russa this time…”
Ashira blushed as she slurred her words.
“Is that why you set out to convince Gyumal?”
“… Mmm, it’s better to die as little as possible.”
Ashira answered that, but it seemed that she had a part of her calculations as pointed out by the underground.
“Yes, you too.”
Compete with women to get things done.
‘Gasiel invited surrender, Asira threatened her merchants. Enlil will act directly…’
If you let the three uniques move in different directions, the people in the city will react in various ways and everything will be revealed.
The underground had to watch and then make a judgment.
After receiving her permission, Ashira’s face brightened.
“Thank you for believing in me and allowing me. I will definitely keep that city and its troops as intact as possible and dedicate them to you.”
“Okay.”
Underground’s short answer, but Asira turned her body right away and didn’t get out.
She keeps glancing over the shoulders and chest of the basement and under the water.
Seeing the gaze from the underground, Ashira quickly spoke while feeling embarrassed.
“That… A person is most defenseless when bathing, she was told. So, I think it would be better to have someone by your side.”
“…”
Come to think of it, she should reward Ashira as well.
He led his army to occupied the area around Woodrock without problems, and he managed to put pressure on La Russa and terrify the merchants.
Now I’m actively trying to do something other than military.
“Okay, come in.”
You have to be cute enough.
There is work left, so it’s okay.
