[Player mode]
In the previous turn, the focus was on the activities of the Great Demon and White Spirit General, but now the spotlight shifts completely to the Chasing Squad and the extermination squads chasing the Silent Swordsman.
‘There might have been changes in the front line that I don't know about.’
Indeed, both the Great Demon and the White Spirit General had used special abilities to spy on the progress of the front line. The information-gathering from Turns 1 and 2 had been merciful, without having to use much force, but the situation where little information is available is the usual one.
‘They’ve only told me what’s necessary... I suppose.’
【Silent Swordsman Phase】
[Choose a faction strategy.]
[This turn, you can select 2 strategies.]@@ing faction strategy.
Now, there is no need to deliberate any further.
[▶Attack]
[Choose the field you will move to for the attack.]
Advance without hesitation.
Swift actions lead to many opportunities.
More fields to target have opened up.
【Field Options】
Raid the rear supply depot of the front line.March toward the city of the unquenchable flame.Attack the shortcut to the capital.Set out on an expedition to the exiled scholars' land. (2 actions)WowIf it's the unquenchable flame, it's the large city of the night, right?Is this opening this quickly?Looks like the quick route has opened after crossing the Rugged Mountain Range.Isn't the shortcut the Screamsong Pass?The usual death route, lol.What is the exiled scholars’ land?To get information to conquer the capital, you need to visit there at least once in all rounds.The place to gather information on the Great Demon’s weakness, yes.But it’s so far that after going once, the conquest of the Great Demon might be considered finished.But isn’t the rear supply depot the jackpot?If we push that, the front line will definitely move up.For real, we’ll advance right up to the capital.If we had an alliance with the White Spirit General, we’d have attacked there by now.
The possibilities she didn't know about.
Countless possibilities bloom and fade in the chat window.
Like a sea filled with infinite possibilities.
Like the sea breeze from Haenampa, salty in the air.
She presses her hat down, scattering her flowing hair, and must let go of all possibilities, leaving only one to follow.
‘Expedition is out of the question.’
Learning about the Great Demon’s weakness would be helpful, but it’s not urgent enough to waste precious time obtaining information at this stage.
For the same reason, attacking the rear supply depot supporting the White Spirit General was also excluded.
‘If I were a player without strength, I’d desperately want the chaos caused by the White Spirit General’s army, but I have enough forces.’
We’ll just push through, won’t we?Why do we look like the villains here?
“If you wish for a night raid, I can lead the troops over the walls and open the enemy gates under the cover of darkness. However, we will need to wait until nightfall.”
[Operation Plan: Night Raid]
[Objective: Infiltrate the fortress without destroying it, opening the gates with minimal damage.]
[This operation minimizes our losses and allows us to maintain the fortress’s defense capabilities when captured.]
[However, executing the operation will cost 1 action point.]
[Do you wish to execute the Night Raid plan?]
[▶ Do not execute the Night Raid plan.]
The idea is good, but it takes too long.
Ha Eung Eung considered just destroying the fortress herself when she felt the scorching gaze of the enemy knight.
The opportunity to make a name for herself was too tempting to ignore.
‘This is more distracting than the request for plastic surgery from the thorn demon.’
She wouldn’t waste time giving everyone in the nation plastic surgery, so she declined the thorn demon’s request.
But how many people would volunteer to break the gates with a cavalry charge?
‘Not many generals want to lead the charge.’
Moreover, unlike the troublesome art of reverse magic, giving the charge to someone else requires no effort.
Instead, it would allow her to preserve her strength for the boss battle.
[The enemy knight requests to lead the charge.]
[Charge: Enemy Knight]
[The enemy knight is the first general to join the Silent Swordsman’s army.]
[He has earned much glory on the battlefield, and it’s an honor for him to lead the charge in battle.]
[Knights grow stronger by earning honorable achievements. Grant him the opportunity for enhanced glory.]
[Do you wish to give the charge to the enemy knight?]
[▶ Grant the charge to the enemy knight.]
Hoo-whooo.
With the sound of a horn, the demon cavalry formed behind the enemy knight.
They raised their lances and pointed them toward the fortress at the top of the hill, enveloping the entire army in a red aura as they resonated with each other.
[The enemy knight regains the title of
[The Demon Beast Legion regains the title of
To protect the kingdom.
The soldiers who had been trapped in the broken fortress.
They had locked up their skeleton steeds and sealed their spears.
They never doubted that one day they would be called to defend their country.
The kingdom betrayed their faith.
But the Silent Swordsman became their new lord.
Their lord granted them the right.
The time had come to reclaim their lost glory.
Wow, are those the skeletons from the ruined fortress?How strong have the Demon Beasts become?How are the early field Demon Beasts now eating the late-stage Battle Demons alive? Lol.
The enemy knight unfurled his cloak and raised his spear long across.
“It’s been a long wait.”
“To the legion that had been waiting to crumble with the old spears and rusted blades, the opportunity that was never to return has come again.”
“Unlike those who dishonored our loyalty, we now march for a lord we can truly believe in and follow.”
With the enemy knight’s speech, the morale surged.
“Do you understand? The joy of reclaiming our lost purpose.”
“Now that we’ve lost it once, we truly understand. This happiness will never come again. We must never lose our second lord!”
“Thus, I command you. Demon Beasts, raise your lances. Pour your burning blood, your boiling fighting spirit, your passionate heat, your noble sacrifices, and all of yourselves into this battle!”
The overwhelming will burned.
The enemy knight’s spear tore through the fortress gates, and the Red Legion swept through the fortress.
