I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

88. The Sigurdians’ Attack

Main Scenario The Sigurdians’ attack proceeds in a similar way to the commonly known tower defense.

The main goal of the main scenario was to stop the tribal alliance from invading Wiesbark and prevent them from invading Wiesbark.

You might think it’s very easy when you just hear it, but each and every one of Sigurd’s men was a warrior. Most people start holding weapons in their hands as soon as they start talking and walking, and use the magical powers of the ancestral gods they believe in to fight.

Their greatest warriors among them were said to be comparable to high-ranking knights of the Infuractus Empire, and their power was not something that could be ignored.

In particular, the Sigurdians’ attack was on the high side of the main scenario’s difficulty level, as it determined the survival and fate of the tribal alliance, with many warriors from within the tribe participating.

So, it was designed to allow the story to progress even without directly participating in the main scenario, and it became a representative scenario played by so-called old characters as a skill verification test.

Of course, for those who are crazy about achievements like Gilbert or those whose main goal is speedrunning, it is called a dutiful son scenario that can be skipped without clearing.

Depending on the nature of the war, it was possible to clear the game by spending up to a month in game time, so it was inevitable that it would be bothersome for gamers who play achievement games or speedruns.

However, all users agreed that it was attractive in that it was the first large-scale war experienced in Tactical Combat. Perhaps that’s why there were quite a few users who liked this main scenario.

Gilbert also cleared this main scenario regularly until his eyes turned to the achievement work. Because large-scale wars using giant soldiers were always fun.

Of course, now that it has become a reality, it would have been better if such a war did not occur.

“Yay! Gilbert!”

“I’m busy.”

Gilbert, who was reviewing the report posted by Fermo, raised one hand and ignored Camilla, who suddenly came by.

I glanced at the message window and saw that there was about a day left.

Tactical Combat, which is extremely unfriendly, did not announce the attack time in this way. The motto of the game is, “If you don’t know something, you should look it up,” So Tactical Combat is a game where you learn by always breaking things here and there.

But for some reason, after returning from the search, the system notified him of the time of Sigudr’s attack through a message window. I had a brief moment of doubt as to whether I should believe this, but it was foolish to ignore the message the system showed me.

Anyway, Fermo’s analysis said that the Sigurdians’ attack would likely take place in about a week, so he was preparing based on the system’s notifications. Anyway, there was no harm in preparing quickly.

“I come here and work every day! And then I get sick! I need to know how to rest!”

Camilla came up to the front and snatched the report that Gilbert was looking at.

For some reason, I felt like I could spend a few days quietly. She didn’t expect Camilla, who was driven by interest, to stay quiet.

Even in Tactical Combat, this aspect of Camilla often acted as a variable in managing the party. As Camilla played the game, there were times when she would suddenly leave the party. If she decided that she was not having fun, she would leave the party without hesitation.

Normally, it was standard play to hire Seraphina in her party and then add Camilla to her party, but there were quite a few users who played without adding her to their party due to her unexpectedness.

Even though it is at Seraphina level in terms of potential, there are users who avoid it because it is difficult to grow and difficult to predict.

Gilbert was somewhat divided depending on the achievement he was aiming for in that episode. There were some achievements that could only be cleared if she had her, so she was always used when clearing those achievements.

But now…

Gilbert was deep in thought as he looked at Camilla, who was smiling brightly and flapping around with a report. In her objective view, having her by her side at the moment was doing her more harm than good.

Because of my personality, I often get tired when I get caught up in things. Even now, in the midst of being busy, he was bored and was throwing a tantrum.

Looking at the brightly shining eyes, there was a high possibility that they would disturb you until you got along with them. Looking at this aspect alone, throwing her out was the right decision…

‘I’m not sure about that, am I? I just thought Gilbert was a good guy. No matter what people around me say, that’s the Gilbert I saw!’

‘Do you feel better now?’

‘I come here and work every day! And then you get hurt! ‘You should also know how to rest!’

Most of what Camilla said to Gilbert was comforting or out of concern for his condition.

A person who looks at him without sunglasses and worries about him, who has suddenly been stigmatized as an idiot in a world where he is possessed.

She didn’t even know if it was something she could do, perhaps because she was Camilla who was driven by interest.

It was clear that even Serafina, who was friendly to her, would make moves to eliminate Gilbert as soon as she judged him to be harmful to the empire. The Serafina he knew was like that, and the Serafina he experienced firsthand was also the same.

Furthermore, it was thanks to Camilla that Gilbert, who could not hide his nervousness during the academy attack part, was able to calm down. She found considerable comfort in her harmless smile and was able to save Brianna, whom she had not been able to save even in her game.

It was ridiculous to dismiss such a benefactor just because he had a headache.

Gilbert extended his hand to her.

“I understand. I’ll just process the report and hang out.”

“Huh? Gilbert, aren’t you really in pain…?”

Was Gilbert’s reaction unexpected?

Camilla, who was rarely embarrassed, was taken aback.

After carefully handing over the report, she began to worry that Gilbert was sick.

“Is it because I made too much noise? It hurts somewhere, right?”

Gilbert, who was watching them scurry around, burst out laughing. It was funny because he always came to me to ask me to play, and he was surprised when I actually asked him to do so.

“Wow! Is Gilbert really sick?! This is the first time I’ve seen him smile!”

“He’s crazy. Please be quiet. Playing with him comes next.”

“Oh, we’re in big trouble! Lily! Where are you, Lily?”

Camilla, thinking that Gilbert was not in a good condition, made a fuss and ran out of her office. Her expression was so serious that a stranger would have guessed that Gilbert was in really bad shape.

It’s crazy, but… This might not be a bad thing.

Gilbert chuckled again and began reviewing the report.

He thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take some time off.

“I heard you’re in big trouble! Gilbert must be seriously ill!”

“Gilbert. Is that true?”

“First brother!!”

Damn it.

Gilbert looked at the three who came to his office a while later and held his throbbing head.

I didn’t even know if kicking out Camilla was something to seriously consider.

***

Brinhild.

She, the great warrior of the Vanir tribe, known for her bravery among the Sigurdians, who are all warriors, was working hard on her physical training even before the war with the empire.

I could see with the naked eye that her delicately divided muscles were twitching every time she moved. She had trained herself to the limit and even her compressed muscles were straining all their strength to bear her enormous weight.

Shouting one more time, she gave all her strength until the very end, and only after completing her last count did she lower the iron ball she was carrying on her back to the floor.

Boom!

The floor was cracked and dust was rising, but Bryn Hild caught her breath and wiped away the sweat that poured down like rain.

If anyone had seen it, it was training that tested the limits of her body to the extent that she would have been mistaken for asceticism, but for her, it was a daily routine. Each and every one of these trainings accumulated to become the current great warrior Brynhild.

No matter how close the war with the empire was, it was impossible for her to skip her training.

“You worked hard today too.”

“In times like these, I can’t skip training. My brother also skipped training, so he caught up to me right away.”

Tarhal, who had been watching quietly until her training was over, smiled bitterly at her prickly younger brother’s words. When he was young, he was the guy who hung around asking for hugs, but now he has become the warrior who represents his clan.

I thought that if there was ever a moment when I realized that time was passing, it was now.

“So what brought you here? I thought the tribal council was in full swing.”

From noble mtl dot com

“The sortie date has been set.”

Brinhild, who was drinking the water prepared on one side, wiped the corner of his mouth at Tarhar’s words.

“If you see it coming like this, it’s tomorrow, right?”

“Okay. Tomorrow.”

Tharhal was hesitant about going to war even at this moment. Considering the tribe’s situation, war was inevitable.

The situation in which the tribe was driven out was too bad for peaceful methods to be used. Even if it only takes a month or two, our food reserves will run out.

However, opening a hand to the empire was more likely to result in a handshake. The moment a tribe showed weakness to the empire, it was a given that they would be bitten. That’s because the emotional rift between the tribe and the empire grew deeper.

“Is everything decided tomorrow?”

“I’m worried that I’ve put too much of a burden on you.”

“As the great warrior of the tribe, it’s something I have to do. That’s what I’ve been training for.”

Brinhild’s eyes were looking at Tarhal without wavering. Tarhal thought he could see something like a firm resolve.

“You risked your life.”

“I guess that’s the same for everyone. That’s what war is like.”

It was the first time in decades that we had gone to war with the Empire, but Brynhild was an experienced warrior with experience in war. Even though it was a tribal union, it was not without conflict.

And it was her duty as a great warrior to always be at the forefront of that battlefield. So it was the same this time too.

She does everything she has to do as a great warrior.

It was a simple yet clear task.

“Yes. I guess I can only pray that Sigurd will take care of it.”

“Don’t worry. You will definitely be victorious.”

Tar Hal looked at his younger brother quietly burning his fighting spirit, and nodded his head as if he believed him.

But Tarhal was worried about what would happen after that.

The power of the empire was not just what it seemed. Even if we won the battle tomorrow and secured food, what happened after that was the problem.

The Empire was not a pacifist who would just sit by and watch the fight unfold.

We will go out of our way to deal with the tribe that showed its teeth.

Tharhal was doubtful whether the alliance would be able to stop the angry empire when that moment came.

I don’t want to admit it, but I didn’t know that perhaps their extinction was a certain process.

Sigurd, watch over the tribe.

There was only so much Tarhal could do.

And the next day dawned.

[Main scenario Sigurdians’ attack begins.]

The war has finally come to an end.
