How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job Chapter 102

Chapter 102. Since ancient times, the hawk is the medicine against aggression. (4)

“That’s why I prepared it myself.”

“…We haven’t heard.”

“sorry. It was a little bit important, so I needed to keep it as secret as possible.”

What do you know about the preparations to respond to that great army?

Me and Aken, the dwarven masters, and my father.

That’s all.

For Archen, for crafting.

And for my father’s prior permission.

I didn’t even tell Kania-nee about this.

“What have you prepared?”

“It’s nothing.”

I grin.

“I have prepared the most suitable ones for the large army that is coming.”

In front of me, more than a million ants are about to swarm.

So what should we do to prepare to face it?

“I need big, beautiful arrows.”

Voila!

I took out a blueprint of it and unfolded it.

“Super long-range large crossbow!”

What I decided and prepared was neither a mobile watchtower nor a Saemundo car.

That’s it.

A secret weapon for shooting large and beautiful arrows.

On top of that, there is an outrageous option called ‘Able to fire continuously’ on the subject of a crossbow.

This is now being transported to the wire.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance will also use all their might to attack.

In the worst case, there is a possibility that an additional force equal to or greater than the current one will come.

This concern was also raised by several other lords.

But the concerns of a tiny minority were casually dismissed by the now highly demoralized majority.

And here on the northeastern front, there were also those who expressed such concerns during the meeting of each lord.

“Isn’t the momentum of the Three Kingdoms Alliance completely broken yet? Excessive carelessness… perhaps…

But it was only one count among the lords who uttered such a voice.

Even if it’s not, most of the nobles are guys with strong pride.

They didn’t listen to it just because they were lower in rank than they were.

“I worry too much. No, even if an additional attack comes, you just have to fight back and defeat it.”

He makes difficult things so easy.

then you do it

I, who had been listening quietly, laughed inwardly at the pathetic way of thinking.

‘The atmosphere of having already won is still the same.’

If you think about it a little carefully, you should know that the count who just raised the concern is right. Eh…..

I explained it to the knights last time, but the reality is that the Three Kingdoms Alliance is working earnestly in its own way in this war.

Of course, if you’re not paying attention right now, it’s obvious that you’ll get hit in the back of the head.

But now I was just quietly passing their conversation through one ear.

‘Sugar? Sugar?.’

I keep pouring sugar into the tea in the teacup just to get away from this boring meeting.

Such a meeting! I can’t eat even sweets without drinking them!

It was obvious that there would be no point in talking to them now anyway.

Now they are excited after recapturing the border fortress.

At times like that, humans have a habit of not listening to what anyone around them is saying.

Especially if you point out the facts, they won’t accept it.

Anyway, considering their pathetic behavior, I am here now.

Participating in this meeting now is just the duty of the royal family and the lord.

….The meeting doesn’t end quickly.

About to be bored all the time.

“It just doesn’t seem like an opinion to be ignored.”

Another person who had been silent besides me finally opened his heavy mouth.

he is the best brother

“You think his opinion is valid?

Do the Lords think differently?”

When my older brother said such a thing, all the guys who had been excited and chattered until then fell silent.

Yes, the rank is a thug.

Right now, if my older brother says he’s right, he’s right.

No one would have the guts to ignore him.

“I agree with the opinion that the enemy will attack more desperately.”

“Haona, just worrying won’t change anything.”

“I guess so.”

I admit that too.

Hey, are you going to just nod and say that everything is right?

There is a certain amount of good character.

I’ve thought about it before, but the oldest brother can’t be decisive.

You have to cut the right sound and the bullshit.

All of them are correct. If you listen carefully, your ears will rot.

“…What do you think of Arell?”

And the arrow was pointed at me this time.

Don’t leave me with annoying answers.

Once you have been pointed out, you cannot remain silent all the time.

And it’s also a problem that I have to help with once in a while.

“I just agree with him. At least now, the reason the enemy retreated once is to reorganize the army.”

However, I agreed with the opinion, but did not say it with confidence.

That’s right, they won’t believe it easily.

I don’t even want their proper cooperation anyway.

Most of the lords here are just denial of reality and unprepared, even at the point where war is almost certain.

I don’t have the will to lead such people.

I’m not a kind of kindergarten teacher.

I don’t even want to lead the pips who don’t know the world.

“The enemy’s offensive will be stronger.”

He just said vaguely and hung up.

“Do you think it can be stopped?”

Hmmm… It seems that the oldest brother is unconsciously too conscious of me.

This isn’t a very good trend, but

“that’s too vague for me to judge.”

It’s like, ‘I can’t stop it. You’re all dead now!’ I wanted to throw out, but I held back.

“is it.”

No, but don’t be too grumpy.

What wisdom did you really expect from me?

Well, I prepared a way to do it anyway.

“But there are things prepared in advance, just in case. It should arrive soon too.”

The main point I really wanted to bring out is this.

About the installation of a large crossbow, which has already been explained to our military.

It will arrive in a while, and in order to be deployed on the frontlines in earnest, it is necessary to disclose to the older brother, who is currently in command.

And if you get permission here, the other lords won’t complain too much.

It is for this reason that I have remained in this meeting.

Let me talk about the big crossbow.

My brother was suddenly silent.

The other lords are also whispering to each other in a low voice.

“…a large crossbow? Were you making something like that? I haven’t heard anything.”

“I got permission from my father. However, it was such a serious matter that I had no choice but to keep it a secret even from my older brother.”

There is no reason to be criticized even if you roll the mobile watchtower or the Saemundo car at will in our territory.

I also rolled magic stones with my property, so up to that point, um… It’s a slightly subtle range.

However, large crossbows are a bit sensitive.

Weapons that can be used not only for defense, but also for open attacks, other lords have no choice but to react sensitively.

If you don’t do it right, the new weapon’s arrow could be pointed at you.

Everyone seemed to have similar thoughts, but the facial expressions aren’t very good.

But what prevents me from openly objecting is that I have just mentioned my father.

It was a secret plan under the king’s permission to overcome the current situation.

It would be a problem if there was no war, but now it is in full swing.

Moreover, there is a concern that the enemy will attack more fiercely, so there is no excuse to oppose it.

“It is said that it is already being installed on the southern front by my father’s order.”

However, if you oppose it, know that you will be beaten with your muscles later by our father.

Whatever I suggested was necessary for the kingdom.

It was important to have that awareness.

Therefore, I argued the necessity and justification of building a defensive line using large crossbows.

“Right. I can’t help it if my father kept it a secret. Don’t worry too much about it.”

The oldest brother also agreed without any complaints.

He must have admitted why he had to keep it a secret.

In particular, as good as people are, there must be a point where they don’t doubt me.

From my point of view, it would be nice if it was easy to get over it, so I have no reason to say other nonsense.

“However, since it is such a large weapon, the installation requires the cooperation of other lords.”

Basically, the Dwarves and technicians were familiar with the installation method.

It would be difficult to get them to install all the large crossbows, enough to keep the attacking enemies in check.

Therefore, I openly demanded that the lords lend manpower to install the crossbow… no, give it to them right here.

“Brother, would it be all right if I ask them to lend me some manpower?”

However, it is straightforward to tell the oldest brother about this request.

“Do you want to do that? Please cooperate with the deployment and operation as soon as the crossbow mentioned by Arerel arrives.”

Yes, you speak well.

With this, the field commander’s permission has been taken away, so others won’t be dissatisfied with my methods and try to do useless things.

Maybe some of them will be flimsy, but then let’s push them and make them cooperate.

There is not much time.

All preparations were completed before the Three Kingdoms Alliance started attacking again in earnest.

In order to push back the stronghold of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, which had already retreated once, the Ernesian army deployed an offensive force a little further in front of the existing defense line and gradually drove them away.

It’s because if you don’t simply defend the fortress and conversely suppress them inside your own territory and annihilate them, the war will only become prolonged.

“You can’t just defend forever.”

“You are right.”

The lords who commanded the raids were holding a lot of expectations for the opportunity to actively annihilate the enemy and build the ball.

That’s why they actively insisted on annihilating the enemy and tried to attack with permission.

“If this operation succeeds, His Majesty will also acknowledge our contribution, right?”

Among the lords, the one who actively advocated the attack plan asked the others as if asking for their consent.

No one raised a dissenting opinion.

At the time when they were on the defensive, they only passively defended, but now that the situation is different, they wanted to use this opportunity as a stepping stone to success.

Never assume that this strategy will go wrong.

“As soon as the day dawns, the attack begins.”

I have no intention of waiting for the enemy to attack first.

As soon as the sun rises, they intend to annihilate the enemy’s stronghold this time and change the full-scale war situation to their advantage.

‘As soon as the sun rises, I will hold the flow of all achievements.’

So they already had nothing but victory in mind.

But when the long-awaited sun rises, what awaits them…

is not victory.

It was a strangely ominous sound, like the ground shaking.

On the other side of the stronghold of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, something dark was peeking out.

Something like a dark wave seemed to be slowly approaching the Ernesia Kingdom’s attack force.

Gradually, the sound of the ground shaking is getting louder.
