44 – Episode 44. Northern Fortress Defense (3)

The time has come.

I looked back at the two soldiers who had been participating in this crazy thing with me over the past few days.

When I made a strange sound, the soldiers played drums to match the sound.

No matter how much there was an order from Irene, the general commander, if this was what they did after being conscripted, it would have been a wise man’s time.

They were silently following all my ridiculous instructions.

“Everyone. Thank you for your hard work so far. All the practice we have done until today is just for this moment. We ask for your patience until the end.”

“Yes! I understand!”

“I will strictly follow what I practiced!”

After hearing those words, I smiled, then turned my head to look at the enemies and shouted.

“Come on! Enemies have started to flock in. Everyone, get ready!”

“Four!”

Two soldiers who usually practice strange performances with me sat in front of the drums placed side by side on both sides of the altar.

“Please just do what you practiced. Today is the most important! Think of yourself as knocking on heaven’s door and cheer up!”

“”I understand!””

At my words, two soldiers raised drumsticks instead of the cold weapons they usually held.

And then-

I started pounding on the crudely made makeshift drum.

As I was beating the drums on both sides of the altar, I was filled with elation as I felt like I was a strange pseudo-shaman performing some strange magic.

Yes.

It will be fine.

According to my prediction, this is the correct answer.

“Haaa…Ah…Ahhh…!!”

I closed my eyes and did something that seemed to gather energy.

I knew that all of these actions would look like crazy when viewed objectively by a third party.

‘If you’re going to succeed, you have to become even more completely crazy.’

From now on, I will become the man who summoned lightning.

From Noble mtl dot com

To become that kind of person, you had to be clearly crazy in everyone’s eyes.

If I don’t stick to my performance just because I feel embarrassed, it will look like a natural disaster happened and I didn’t call it out.

Doing something ridiculous like this was appropriate to instill fear in the enemies.

The person I am now cannot be just a crazy person.

You must become a madman who stands out even among crazy people!

If it is not a madman who claims to bring down lightning, then what is a madman?

So.

“…Heavens!!! Listen to my voice!!!! Answer!!!!!”

I screamed at the sky, much louder than the sound of drums.

But…… It was strange.

I can see the enemy soldiers coming, so it’s almost time.

But why…… Raindrops aren’t falling, right?

* * *

It was Julian, the general of the Serpina army, who was ordered to lead 33,000 troops and siege weapons to destroy the fortress.

The original request to ‘attack the fortress’ was rejected once, but this time the lord called him again, saying the situation had changed.

Although it was a sudden order, Julian’s mood was not bad, but rather good.

‘As expected, my thoughts were not wrong.’

Julian, a middle-aged man with brown hair who rolled around on the battlefield, thought to himself and smiled in satisfaction.

Although his fault was that he was a bit short-witted, he was quite experienced in battle, so Serpina treated him as a vassal to some extent.

However, what Julian wanted was above that.

In Serpina County, your position becomes an unrivaled position that no one can replace.

This is the wish of all generals who want to achieve success through meritorious achievements.

‘We will take over the fortress and use it as a base to attack Kelstein Castle once again. ‘I can do it.’

With such a big dream, I was finally reaching the fortress of the Brans army.

“General Julian!”

“What’s going on?”

The adjutant who approached Julian spoke with a serious expression.

“Well… On the walls of the fortress, a man who appears to be a member of the Brans Army is acting strangely…”

“What?”

Julian, who got into the saddle of his horse, rode out as his vanguard and checked the fortress.

Unbelievable scenery unfolded before his eyes.

A white-haired young man with intact limbs was screaming with his arms outstretched.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re shouting because there’s a bit of distance…… It seemed like he was constantly flailing his arms and pointing in this direction.

There, the soldiers on both sides were beating something like a drum without standing guard as they were told to do.

‘What on earth is that?’

I was taken aback by the strange scenery I had seen for the first time in my life, but-

Actually, if you think about it, it just seemed a bit strange, but there wasn’t anything worth being wary of.

If we just look at the simple facts, there was a man in the middle doing a strange dance while shouting loudly, and the soldiers on either side were just beating drums.

In a battle you have no chance of winning, instead of focusing on defense, you’re doing such useless things?

If that is some kind of ‘consciousness’ that is trying to summon something.

From Julian’s point of view, he was an extremely formidable opponent.

‘There is no opponent on the battlefield that is easier to defeat than those who rely on the power of religion.’

God will protect us, God will give us strength…….

The sweet rhetoric that religion used to convey lost its appeal after entering an era of turbulence.

The biggest proof would be that the religious figures who made noise every day in various parts of the continent have disappeared.

What Julian liked more than relying on the power of religion on the battlefield was making judgments based on objective figures.

According to recently obtained information, the available troops currently in that fortress are approximately 10,000.

With that number, they could never defeat 33,000 troops equipped with a lot of siege weapons.

Moreover, it is not just a fortress. It was a fortress. Since we were attacking a fortress, if there was this much difference in forces, our army would win the battle no matter what happened.

‘I’m going to see all kinds of crazy people.’

Yes.

I was thinking so lightly.

Anyway, occupying the fortress was just a process, and what was really important was Kelstein Castle.

If you succeed in recapturing Kelstein Castle based on this fortress, you will be noticed by Serpina.

That will soon lead to success. It was as if his opinion helped Serpina advance into the central region, which she had longed for.

He also got older. He was a warrior who felt at ease when roaming the battlefield, but he could not roam the battlefield forever, risking his life.

Now, he wanted to take a step back and watch his family prosper.

“What should I do?”

“It’s not worth worrying about.”

After hearing his adjutant’s words, Julian muttered in a stern tone, then turned his head and shouted in a very loud voice.

“Everyone! We had a lot of trouble marching this far, but for us, nothing is more precious than time! So that we can take over the fortress as quickly as possible! Tell all the soldiers in charge of the siege weapons to prepare as well!”

“Yes!”

Starting with Julian’s command, the soldiers began charging into the fortress one by one.

Situation of Pungjeon Lighting.

Up until this moment, Julian was confident of his victory.

No, in fact, he didn’t even feel like he was winning. This was literally just a process.

* * *

And, to give a punch to those who think this is just a process.

I kept shouting and striking poses that looked plausible.

“Oh heaven!!!!!”

‘Raindrops will fall soon! For sure!’

I didn’t know when the lightning would strike.

However, in-game, lightning only struck when it was raining – so it had to rain first.

However, no matter how long I waited, there was no sign of rain.

The sky is obviously cloudy and there are a lot of dark clouds…… Strangely, not even small raindrops were falling.

I muttered as if to control myself.

‘Don’t be anxious!’

My appearance right now was being watched by enemy soldiers, soldiers from our fortress, and Irene next to me.

Even if it is Irene, the soldiers who are protesting under her orders must be feeling uneasy.

If I even showed signs of anxiety here, it would have been a big problem in many ways.

“Haaa!!!!”

I tried to change the atmosphere with a sound that seemed plausible.

But.

The sky was still dark and there was no news.

It was only when the rain started pouring down that the angle of lightning would be clearly established, but there was still no news.

‘No!’

I can’t be wrong.

Natural disaster. And it looks like I’m using a natural disaster. This may be the only correct answer.

Prediction of intelligence of 100. Experience 10000 hours of gameplay.

Inference based on that.

Aren’t all compasses pointing to this being correct?

‘It’s okay! It will definitely rain! If there was an earthquake, it wouldn’t make sense to stay in the fort! ‘There’s nothing but lightning!’

I shouted to myself, repeating the same plausible motion over and over again.

Meanwhile, the shouts of the soldiers of the Serpina army began to be heard quite loudly, breaking through the noisy drums.

The siege weapons were almost ready to attack.

If that catapult stone had come flying at the castle wall I was climbing on, I could have died on the spot.

It’s okay.

If that had been the case, predictions such as ‘sit in where the enemy can be seen’ would not have been made.

At a time when my life is in danger, that answer may not be the most efficient answer.

Furthermore, if we were to retreat suddenly, it would not have mattered whether the enemy was visible or not.

It was like this in the past too.

A messenger arrived in a situation where anyone would say that negotiations with Lin had broken down.

As soon as the troops arrived at Kelstein Castle, a rebellion broke out at Cherien Castle.

Everything went as I predicted.

But why am I so anxious?

Why am I…… For the first time, am I thinking that I might have made a wrong decision?

Because not even a raindrop fell, let alone a thunderbolt?

No matter how long I wait, nothing happens?

“Haaa!!!!”

I made meaningless cheers even louder.

‘No!’

No.

I must not doubt myself.

Let’s believe.

I am right.

What I say is absolutely correct.

Because my intelligence is 100!

“Heaven!!!!!!!!”

And.

Finally, then and there.

“Now, wait a minute?!”

“What? What’s going on?!”

The soldiers were startled and could be heard shouting.

“Um, that’s…!”

Even Iren, who was next to me, was shocked and lost his words.

The sky is just hesitating and it doesn’t look like lightning is going to strike, is it?

But, how…… It occurred to me that where Serpina was gathered, there seemed to be a strange Shade.

‘…… Uh?’

I finally noticed something strange.

Slowly raise your head…… I looked at the sky I had been crying out for.

Yes.

It was only after looking at the sky that I realized for the first time that I had failed in perfect reasoning.

Nothing like lightning struck.

What is ‘really happening’ predicted by a brain with intelligence of 100 is——-

It was a huge meteorite that fell to the ground.
