Chapter 391 – Chapter 391 Counter Attack-9
Night.
The 20,000 demon army marched to attack Gadeon.
Camilla Storm Rider frowned at her report.
She is an elegant beauty with pale purple skin, graceful in her blue army coat and her beret pressed down.
“Bo, report! Miss Camilla! Today, all scouts are dead!”
“It’s already the third day! 900 soldiers died!!”
Camilla flicked her baton.
“You must have told me to raise the level of the scouting party, right?”
“Oh, Opara-sama also went out today. That, but…”
“Opa died too?”
Camilla was straight.
Who is Opara? Isn’t that the man who received the rank 1053 among the young demons?
Demons usually get stronger as they get older.
A high ranking at a young age means that the future is bright.
Opara was one of the promising prospects among the veterans of the demon tribe.
He is not a talented person to be entrusted with a reconnaissance mission, much less a talented person who will die there.
In the case of Ashira, who was in the top 20 even when she was a minor, it was completely out of the question since I heard that she was the greatest genius since the birth of the demons.
“A corpse? Have you checked the marks?”
“Yes, yes. Combining the condition of Opara’s weapon and the condition of the bodies of the other scouts and the topography… It seems that the other scouts fell first in the ambush, and then Lady Opara fell in a one-on-one battle.”
“…”
Camilla was lost in thought.
Her kneeling priests spoke cautiously.
“Ka, Camilla-sama. Apparently, this is not something a rarity class can do.”
“Suddenly, the soldiers are getting scared. They don’t want to go out on reconnaissance!”
“Um, of course, if it’s an order, I’ll follow it…”
Once you go out on patrol, you die.
Sequence 1053, a man from the thousandth generation died without being able to wield a weapon properly, but the soldiers are unconditionally going to the underworld.
‘900 in three days without a proper engagement…’
Compared to an army of 20,000, it wasn’t such a painful wound.
“What killed Opara?”
“Cow, it seems to be a hand blade. He just cut his throat with his hand. Among the scout captains so far, quite a few have died like that.”
“…”
Camilla picked her fingers up.
“I said that the uniques in Gadeon are Yegrina and Yura, and the purple uniques of Barjet. First of all, it’s not Yegrina. That dragon is not a woman who will handle the scouting party one by one, covertly.”
“Then…”
“It’s not Yura. I can’t be so toxic.”
Yura was raised among her demons under Ashira’s protection, and her character was known.
Camilla hadn’t even talked to her, but she had seen her a few times from afar, or seen Ashira teach her how to fight.
“Above all, he is not good at hand-to-hand combat. Not even Yura.”
“Then, is that witch unique? Rumor has it that she uses bizarre abilities…”
“You said you were taken prisoner? Could such an idiot be able to annihilate them so meticulously?”
It was unprecedented that Unique would become a prisoner, so it quickly spread throughout Wordsland.
Camilla laughed.
“This… That underground is the human.”
“Yes?”
“You mean the Red Union leader?”
The final goal that the demon army has to catch, is that killing the reconnaissance unit directly?
It was an unusual sound.
“Isn’t it all unique? You also have Enlil, right?”
“There is information that Enlil was seen near Larussa. Even if it’s not that, she hits with her shadow hand and falls out. Above all, she is not a great person who will surprise her and fight head-to-head in the end.”
“…”
Camilla laughed like it was funny.
“This is a challenge to the demons. The madman who fought Yegrina in front of all the soldiers sent us a challenge. If she doesn’t want to die, don’t go scouting.”
“Well, then what should I do?”
She defeated Yegrina and was stronger than Niunique, comparable to Legend.
If Camilla’s conjecture was true, she could well have been slaughtered by the scouts. Sending her out from now on was no different than telling her to die.
“Increase the size of the reconnaissance force. From now on, all reconnaissance units will move in groups of 100.”
“Yes?”
“Won’t all 100 die?”
Reconnaissance in units of 100 was an absurd order.
Even so, if Jiha was as strong as rumored, everyone would die, right?
“As soon as the enemy is encountered, 50 block them, the remaining 10 send a signal by calling another scouting party nearby, and the remaining 40 fall back. Then join the other reconnaissance parties to pursue the enemy.”
“Ah…”
Since the units of the reconnaissance corps are small, each one facing each other will die.
In the first place, it is standard for reconnaissance to move in small units, but if Camilla’s strategy is to be followed, covert movements are impossible, but underground surprise attacks become impossible.
“I don’t have the strength to catch 20,000 in the end no matter how many tricks I have to do.”
Camilla laughed.
If the underground attacks in the way it has been so far, it will be enough to drive the large army and catch it.
Dawn.
3,000 soldiers underground.
With the bonfire in front of him, Jiha, who was looking at the map with the magic lamp, spoke plainly.
“Starting tomorrow, we will change the way.”
“Why? How’s it going?”
When Regin questioned, Jiha explained.
“Suddenly, the enemies must have gotten used to my methods. And the one I killed today was the thousandth generation. Now the enemy has been reinforced. I will probably increase the number.”
Jiha didn’t just repeat the one-on-one match at the end.
Once the demons were asked about their rank in that situation, they never hid it.
So it was clear that the level of the scouting party in the basement was getting higher and higher.
“Fifty people? Or will they send out scouting in groups of 100?”
“What scouting is that?”
“It’s a bait to catch me.”
So far, only 10 people have moved underground, including himself and Barjet.
So while annihilating the scouting party, they were able to avoid being seen by the demon army.
“It takes time to catch up when the head count increases. Then reinforcements nearby will try to catch me. If Camilla is the commander with her head.”
“After all, it’s a tactic that puts head count first.”
“Yes, usually helpless.”
Underground slaughtered 900 enemies over three days without sacrificing a single ally.
However, the enemy army was over 19,000, and Gadeon and the demon army were close.
Regin asked with a smirk.
“Then, what is the captain’s countermeasure?”
“We need to confirm that the enemy is using his head, and respond accordingly. I will catch you.”
Check the map for the basement.
“You have to keep me occupied. Camp here.”
“To be absorbed, it sounds like you’re in love just by hearing the word.”
Jiha laughed at Regin’s stiff words. It was an expression not like a gargoyle.
Regin said in response to that smile.
“Why? I love gargoyles too.”
“Yes. I’m going to catch 20,000 with just one.”
In fact, Camilla’s best countermeasure is to skip reconnaissance and whatever, and just head straight for Gadeon.
No matter how strong the underground is, it won’t be able to kill 20,000 people in one day.
‘But the scouting party was being slaughtered for three days, so I decided to improve the quality. He’s the type who is stubborn and confident in his ways.’
Understand the character of the enemy and the mindset of the enemy commander and strike.
The basement rose from its seat.
Barjet, who leaned against a tree and looked up at the night sky, turned around at the sound of footsteps underground.
“…”
Although startled and surprised, it does not run away.
The reaction that has improved a lot compared to before, Jiha said concisely.
“Tomorrow, you and I are going out alone. I’m going to ride a horse Get ready.”
“… All right.”
“Aren’t you afraid?”
The basement asked.
Barjett replied angrily.
“Even if I’m scared, you can’t deny it, can you?”
“Are you dissatisfied with Tune?”
“When did you listen to me?”
Underground raised his hand.
“Try.”
“… Yes?”
“Tell me. I will listen.”
Barjet, who did not know that the underground would turn out like this, blinked in surprise.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Cheer up. Wait. Now, hold on.”
Barjet quickly raised a hand to block it and fell into thought.
Underground stuffed his hands into his pockets and waited.
Barjet chose his words for a long time while watching the underground notice.
Ji-ha was a man who was always busy, immersed in work, and gave orders unilaterally. Even by force, ignoring her will to refuse.
I came all this way because I was swept away by Eoyoung and Booyoung, but I can’t believe you’ll come and listen to my story now.
“Why are you now listening to me?”
“Then why don’t you listen? Okay.”
“Who said that!? He, just curious…”
“It’s not a suggestion to waste time.”
Bar Jett frowned at her.
“Why do you always answer like that when people talk to you? It looks so ungrateful.”
“Is that what you wanted to say to me?”
“…”
Barjet hesitated for a while before asking cautiously.
“… Are you angry?”
“What?”
“Sah, it’s weird when people do things they wouldn’t do. I was wondering if there was something wrong with me…”
Barjet seemed to be worried that the basement would change suddenly.
When Iljin suddenly acts kindly, I feel like I can’t let go of my mind because I want to know why.
In fact, she also had something on her mind.
“There are various things. I’m not angry. Just kill him.”
“… Why do you draw such a heinous conclusion as if it were natural?!”
“Isn’t that fast? If I’ve done something to the point of anger, it’s usually something I can’t condone.”
Underground is now speaking as the head of the Red Union.
Ji-ha is not just a tyrant who slaps people’s throats just because it’s offensive.
Rather, he was a fairly rational leader.
Apart from the fact that Barjet came here half-forced, there were many cases where I admired his work.
It’s like killing 900 enemies with just 10 people without losing a single soldier.
‘… I don’t think it’s a good idea to admire someone’s ability to kill people.’
Barjet said carefully, repeating to himself.
“Nothing… No complaints. I’ll do as you say. I don’t really want to kill people.”
“Okay?”
“… I was wrong about what I did before. I made a mistake.”
Barzette apologized for being shy.
He begged for forgiveness for admitting to becoming Todan’s prisoner, which made things even more messy.
In fact, I should have prayed right away, but I thought the basement would question me, but strangely, there was no censure.
I was worried about when the punishment would come down.
The underground seems to be in a good mood, so he asks for forgiveness.
“Looking at you.”
“… Yes?”
Ji-ha shook her hand and turned around.
“Get ready to go out tomorrow.”
“Ah, yes.”
I forgive you because it’s just rain.
Barjet glanced at his back underground, relieved.
Does it sound like she’s a lot softer than she used to be? Or has she changed to think so?
‘… No, please I’m not the kind of woman I fell in love with.’
Bar Jett shook her head.
The next afternoon.
Jiha went out with Barjet.
There were no soldiers to follow, carrying food and two horses were all.
“Where are you going?”
She hasn’t been told her destination yet.
When Barjet asked lightly, Jiha pointed forward.
Over the hill, Bar Jett froze up the hill on her horse.
“… Are you an enemy?”
“Then you’re an ally? It’s a scouting unit.”
100 Demons were moving below.
I haven’t found Underground and Barjet yet because of the distance, but I will soon.
Barzett was about to pull the reins, but Jiha raised a hand to stop him.
“Where are we going, should we charge?”
“Mi, are you crazy?!”
Varjet groaned and quickly covered her mouth. I say it in a whisper, wondering what to do if the enemy hears it.
“It’s 100 people, so let’s go together? Oh, Joe, good. I won’t be able to win, but will reinforcements come? No matter how you look at it, it’s a trap, right?”
“Hey, our chinttta rolls his head too?”
When the underground spoke in a low-pitched tone, Barjet tried to refute her.
But sooner than that, the whip of the underground slapped Barjet’s horse in the butt.
Hee hee!!”
Barjet’s horse galloped forward, neighing loudly.
Down the hill, toward the enemy.
“Mama Yaaaaa!!!”
At the sound of Barjet’s tearing screams, Jiha laughed and ran after him.
About 100 people underground alone can take it down.
But other enemies around Bona Mana will come like dogs. I didn’t see Barzette, but Jiha checked as he came.
That this is a trap
The enemy prepared a trap at best, but I have to catch it.
Wouldn’t that make you feel safe?
