"Now, if everyone is ready. Now, those who represent each table, please present your opinions."
Under a clear winter sky, Shiwa's good mood was heard.
The third war council meeting, held at the request of the Warlov Empire, was conducted in a format never seen before. Normally, the council of war is held in the shape of a "L" or in which the generals of the warring parties and the generals of the countries that have come to support them face to face. In this case, however, all generals were divided into teams and formed small groups. In addition, the Warlov Imperial Army commander was always present in the group and was responsible for coordinating the opinions of all the generals.
At the military meeting that day, discussions were held based on the map of Dorga and the layout of the army presented by the imperial side, but few of the assembled generals were able to express their opinions due to their confusion. Nevertheless, the Warlovian commanders elicited opinions from the generals by skillfully posing questions.
At Siwa's call, the Warlov commanders gathered around her with a paper in their hands summarizing their opinions. Then, each group presented their opinions in a neat manner.
The group was then ready to present the opinions of their respective groups.
"Are you going to launch an all-out attack~i?"
Looking up to the heavens with a look of dismay on his face was Rinos. Next to him, Matkal looked at the man in front of him without changing his expression at all. In front of them was Zarb, one of the commanders of the Agarthan army.
"Well, thank you, Zarb. That was a very funky military meeting."
"Funky?"
"No, it was an unusual war council. Well, what is it? You won't have a war council like this for a long time. Consider it a valuable experience."
"Ha ...... ha ......"
"If you wish, my Agartha's army can adopt that method."
"You must be joking! I believe that in battle, immediate decision and immediate action are essential. I believe that there is no time for idle discussions. I believe that a battle is decided by the superiority of the commander. Basically, planning a strategy should be done in the preliminary stage of a battle. It should not be done when the enemy is right in front of you.
Zarb's words made Linos chuckle.
"Yes, that's right. I agree with that opinion. Well, this military meeting must have been confusing and difficult. I'm sorry I put you through such hard work. Now go home and get some rest."
Zarb bowed and left their presence.
"So, a general strike ......."
"Don't worry, Mato."
"But ......"
"Don't worry. I have a plan.
"......"
Linos smiled and winked at Matocal, who had a worried expression on his face.
◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆
"I don't see you coming. ......"
Meanwhile, in Dorga, Royce, the black dragon, was frustrated. His sister, Shario, was standing next to him.
Royce had planned that the Warlov Empire would launch an all-out attack as soon as reinforcements were gathered. Moreover, he believed that the presence of Agartha's King Linos would hasten their attack. He even thought that Rinos alone would attack this city .......
"...... too perfectly made to be disheartening?"
Lois mutters to no one in particular. Chario sees this and exhales slowly, his face expressionless.
"I know what you mean. You can't talk like that after all that work. ....... That's what you think, isn't it?"
"Not far off the mark, sir."
"Hahahaha."
Royce laughs as he looks up at the sky. He floats up and slowly begins to look around.
"Don't move too much, my brother in the middle. Even though we are humanized, if we are seen like that, our existence will be questioned.
At the sound of Chario's voice, Royce slowly descends to the ground.
"I can't see."
"Brother in the middle?"
"I don't see anyone who looks like Linos, King of Agartha."
"......"
"He's good enough to face the Dragon King. His magical power must be as great as ours. However, I don't sense any such immense magical power. What does this mean?"
"Hmph."
"What's so funny, Shario?"
"What I did with my brother inside..."
What?
"If they are as good as us, it should be no surprise that they have the skill to hide their abilities."
"You said he was a man who could stand toe-to-toe with the Dragon King. Can you sense the Dragon King's presence?
"What do you say! If he were close by, even the Dragon King would not be able to deceive my eyes."
"......"
"Well, okay. If Linos, King of Agartha, is here, so be it. If not, there are other ways to have fun.
Royce let out a grin as he said this.
The first time I saw her, I was surprised.
It happened suddenly.
The army of the Kingdom of Marder, one of the countries that had come to reinforce the Warlov Empire. A soldier suddenly appeared in front of them. They could recognize him as their enemy,...... but they could not figure out what the man was really doing here,.......
The man had a stone in his hand. He tossed it, and grabbed it, and tossed it, and grabbed it, and tossed it, and grabbed it, and tossed it, and tossed it, and tossed it, and tossed it, and tossed it, and threw it into the position of the Murderer. It went toward one of the soldiers at a tremendous speed.
"Whoa!"
One of the soldiers of the Royal Army of Murder suddenly collapses. The man's stone had hit the soldier right between the eyes. With the Royal Army in an uproar, the man picks up the stone again and throws it to the Maeder side.
"Gah!
The soldier's body flew through the air as if it were a puppet.
"You son of a b*tc*! Don't lick us! Take this!"
Under the command of the commander, a hail of magic and arrows rained down on the man. The man's life seemed to end here.
"Look! Look!
The man is surrounded by countless arrows, and perhaps because of the magical attack, there are also large holes around him. But the man is standing there with a grin on his face. Then, as before, he throws a stone at random.
"Gah!"
A soldier standing right next to the man in command falls down, cracked between the eyes. The man who saw this scene has a look of satisfaction on his face. He points at the army of the Kingdom of Murder and bends his index finger in a quirky motion, as if to say, "Come at me!
"Oh ......, you ......!"
He grins again, as if he heard the commander's voice. He turned on his heel and began to walk slowly.
"You can't ...... mock us this much! All troops, come on out! Get that man's head!"
Under the commanding officer's order, the 4,000 men of the Royal Army of Murder began their assault.
◆ ◆ ◆ ◆
"What? The assault has begun?"
The man with the surprised look on his face was General Gesikhana of the Warlovian Empire. He wrinkles his brow and clicks his tongue. Watching him, the messenger continues speaking.
"It seems that the army of the Kingdom of Marder has taken advantage of the enemy's provocation. Seeing this, the forces of the Madaira Empire stationed next to them have begun to charge toward Durga.
"Draw your men back at once!"
"Please wait!"
It was Deputy Commander Sheeva who raised his voice. She looked at her staff and slowly opened her mouth.
"Sooner or later, we will launch a general attack. Isn't this a good opportunity? Let's take this opportunity to launch an all-out attack.
"Shh, but ......"
Gentlemen.
Sheeva's voice interrupts General Gesikana's. She stands up quickly and speaks up as if she is declaring something.
"We are going to attack. Tell Heedata and the other nations to move to a general offensive. Please do not send any messengers, but go there yourselves as much as possible. Is that clear?"
"Wait a minute, why do we have to go there in person? Why not just send a messenger?"
"Commander Chang, you don't understand, do you? We're going to launch a general attack, okay? You will lose more than a few soldiers' lives, you know? I'm going up to ask you to do this. Isn't it polite for the appropriate person to go and bow?"
"Wouldn't that delay us from launching a full-scale attack?"
"Mr. Worker. I wouldn't worry about that. When you return to your positions, you may proceed directly to the general attack.
"Well, then, ......"
"Gigi."
"Yes."
Shewa interrupted Commander Worker's attempt to continue and turned her attention to her sister Gigi.
"You must go to Agartha. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir.
Gigi responds with a beaming smile. Both Chang and Worker continued to watch the exchange between the two of them with a look of dismay on their faces.
