53 Prepare for War (1)

Padilla strongly opposed my first participation in the war. Outsiders waited for an excuse to be untrustworthy, but not why. Kara was recruiting a huge group of mercenaries.

But I finally gave my permission to Udine's repeated requests and my furrows. Strangely, she listened to me well.

“The general commander is you, Padilla. ”

I forced Padilla to take the first line. The Wooden Master expressed his objection, but I didn't listen.

It was an extremely disadvantageous war in numbers. Because of Tohu, I couldn't afford to hide the leader behind me because she was a woman.

The leader must lead the way, because the people must follow him.

And I'm an outsider, after all. Even if Padilla gave me the authority of the supreme commander, the indigenous forces would never truly follow me.

After that, I drew a map of the military organization ahead of Padilla.

First platoon commander was Razal Murabah. Then Wooden turned against him again.

“Commander Razal was never the leader of the army. ”

I strongly agree with that opinion, but I had no choice. Cutting a sheep's head off and putting it on a lion's head doesn't make a sheep a lion. If you do something like that, only sheep get their throats cut off and die.

Lazar is incompetent and highly motivated. I could say he was really a troublesome cripple.

But it doesn't matter.

I didn't expect much from the old Kara Army anyway. If you try it and say it's irredeemable, I'll blow it all up with Razal. So it was better to tie them together for now.

“Padilla. Tell General Lazar to go hunting for the horses." Roll it tight. ”

Conventional Kara Army is incompetent, but still has bar skills in transit. Your archery skills are excellent and your melee skills are fine. If the problem is that it's difficult to send out into battle because it's too small, I was wondering how much better it would be if I built up my skills in battle with magic objects.

And since the mercenaries who were active in Kara recently went to the Great Robos Kingdom, there were insufficient manpower to defeat the magic. I also needed a lot of Chaos pieces to make the essence, so it seemed better to let the first group under Rajal solve it.

“And the new Second Commander-in-Chief is Shura Ides. ”

I have dared to select Shra for the Second Army commander. He led vigilantes in Aim in the past and raised his courage when he risked his life to fight Jess mercenaries. However, there is a large shortage of chapters leading an army, but the title of the saint girl came very attractive and decided to establish it.

In fact, none of the mulberry hairs are divine mulberry. Raising Shura at the front will help boost the morale of the entire army.

Shura was also perfect for suppressing the opposition of Kara's existing troops who were disbanded into a single army. Although Razal is the First Men and Commander-in-Chief, he cannot stand on the Grand Duchess.

The only thing I'm worried about is that Shura's skill as a swordsman is still lacking. However, as deputy, I was able to attach Armida to her, so there was no big problem.

‘The problem is group 3. ’

I planned to recruit 8,000 of Kara's citizens as soldiers. With 4,000 of these deployed to Shura's Second Army, we needed a 3rd Army commander to command the other 4,000.

If there's a problem, there's no right person. There was no talent here for General Kara.

Of course I can do it, but I need to assist Padilla in command of the entire army with the Starfleet.

‘Well, we'll just have to find out. ’

I commented on the next group.

Among the current descendants of the Sadducees, there were immediate sons or scribes who were deprived of inheritance and were demoted to the common people. The desire for success is usually high and away from the evil influence of Kara's existing military, so it seemed like it would turn into a useful army.

Approximately 6,000. I planned to assemble them into special forces under my command and make them the essence of this war.

"Then 18,000 will come out. ’

For 18,000, the appearance size was quite large. The majority of the recruits had to follow a high-intensity drill, but after the drill, they were able to see that they had enough manpower to defend Kara Castle.

The only problem is that 8,000 are unarmed. 8,000 is easy to say. Arming them was never easy.

So I proposed to Padilla to build a social system. It was a mass-production system through standardization and differentiation.

“Specialization and industrialization? ”

“Hmm. Think of it as a precursor to mass production. ”

In the age of destruction, mankind faced one great problem. It was a shortage of supplies. The proposed system was a mass-production system through standardization and differentiation.

While mass-production does not provide personalized weapons, it has the advantage of mass-producing formalized weapons. dozens of times, hundreds of times.

Moreover, because skill acquisition is very fast with a unique simple task, specialized craftsmen are made quickly. It was the perfect system for Kara's time-sensitive situation.

‘Then no more weapons. ’

The biggest problem for Kara's army right now is the elite. Honestly, there's no one we can trust right now.

Moreover, the Lobros alliance is roughly 20-250,000. We still have a considerable shortage of troops, so we definitely needed an alternative.

Soon I stopped talking to Padilla and went outside. In fact, Kara had a very elite hidden army. If we attract them, Kara's projected troops can surpass 20,000, as well as greatly increase her qualitative abilities.

“Hey. I'm back. ”

Zambe glances at me and wipes his hands with his clothes.

“Are you here for dinner? ”

“Yes.”

“What can I get you? The one you gave me before? ”

I was sitting in front of the packing wagon and I was thinking about it. I'm not a bothersome style of menu, but I have a situation today.

“No, today I'm interested in cotton. ”

“Cotton?"

“Yes. Suddenly I remember home. ”

As I looked up at the distant sky with a pitiful look on my face, Zambe narrows his eyes and folds his arms.

“Human. You're not up to anything else, are you? ”

After experiencing me a few times, I gained quite a bit of internal strength. It doesn't come easy.

“My goodness. What kind of orcs are these? Everyone has a hometown, and if you live in a different hometown, you might think about your hometown. What are you trying to do? ”

“Really? I'm sorry if I misunderstood. So, what kind of side dishes do you want? ”

“Stir-fry me with some meat and vegetables. Does it taste different back home? If you mix anything and cook it, that's what you used to eat at home. ”

“Not really. Got it. ”

Zenbe starts frying the meat on the firewood first. So I began to put my work to good use.

“How long have you been in Kara? ”

“I don't know. Almost 11 years. ”

“Wow, that would be Kara's second home, right? ”

“That's right."

“I like Kara's personality. They even let me live off of zero life force Orcs. ”

Soon, Zenbe placed a slightly damp cotton noodle on top of the half-cooked meat.

“Yes, Kara's people are considerate. Was it your first time here? I was hungry for a long time, but when a little girl in the neighborhood ate the bread she gave me with her shameful hands, I was relieved of hunger. ”

“A little girl. Then you must be a big girl by now. ”

“I did. I happened to see her earlier, and she said she was getting married soon. ”

“Oh, I see. That's great. But now what? How did this packing wagon get started? ”

“I've been carrying luggage in a nearby restaurant for about three years. I started there by earning some money, learning how to cook. ”

Zambe finally starts frying with vegetables and sauce.

“Really? What's the owner doing? ”

“He runs a big restaurant east of the city. ”

“Do you like people? ”

“Good. Family loyal, neighbors friendly. ”

“He's a good man. ”

“Yes.”

After finishing cooking, Zambe puts the cotton out on a plate.

“Humans. Why do you keep asking me that? ”

“It just reminds me of home. I miss you.”

I accepted the noodles and took a chubby look. It's not irritating and moderately delicious. By the way, Zambe is quite good at cooking.

“Then why did you suddenly think of home? ”

“Well, is that what this is about? ”

I pulled out the urethra I was wearing around my waist some time ago. After injecting Mana, Aura Blade, which is about 30 centimeters tall, reaches out faintly.

Suddenly, Zambe was surprised, and so was I. The last time I saw Aura Blade, which was barely more than 20 centimeters long, was stretched to 30 centimeters.

“Humans. Isn't that mediocre? ”

“Oh, probably. ”

“What the hell happened to you? ”

I don't know. What happened recently was I stopped by my portrait room with Shura and talked to Udine today about how to protect Kara. The rest were meditating and playing when they were bored.

I straightened my expression and calmed down. The persuasion didn't change much anyway. The bragging about Aura Blade being 20 cm has only turned into an intermediate master.

“I don't know. I think it's because of the plasticity theory we talked about earlier. ”

“Formularism?”

“You know what? Our organized mental world. That's when she started talking about plasticity. That's when the theory of mental illness was completed. ”

“Oh, I did. ”

“Among them, the human mind was told that the human mind is shared by causality and a bond, and that it grows together. ”

“Oh, right. ”

“I've made a lot of connections with Kara's people lately. I think it's a big impact. ”

Zambe's jaw twitches quietly.

“That makes sense. Human, haven't you recently made a lot of connections with the fallen temple priestess? It must have had an effect. ”

“Oh, really, except for that. Why do you take others' privacy so lightly? ”

“Anyway.”

I glanced at Aura Blade surrounded by the illumination with a curious glance.

“That's why I thought of home. It reminds me of home when I look at people I care about. I love my hometown.”

“Well, maybe. ”

I grabbed the handle of the john tightly.

“So I'm trying to protect the people I care about. ”

“What?"

“I'm going to join this war. ”

Zambe opens her eyes.

“Humans. Have you gone mad all of a sudden? Kara is as good as dead. If you interfere, you die.”

“Death." But I don't care. I will protect Kara, who is now my second home. I will protect the little girl who gave me bread and the restaurant owner who taught me how to cook. Why? I'm a warrior walking the path of the sword. The honor of a warrior shines only when you protect others. ”

In a moving speech, Jacques Zenbe made a suspicious face.

“Humans. I see you've been up to something. ”

“Ouch!”

“If not, Human, you wouldn't have done this. How much did you decide to get? ”

“Aigoo, it's not like that. Seriously. I won't take a penny. ”

To be honest, it's all Kara. Kara belongs to Padilla. No, if Kara wins this war, it could be the entire West Great Desert.

Azerbaijan looked up and down at me with an unbelievable look.

“Really?"

“I told you. I'm just trying to protect Kara with the honor of an innocent warrior and as a human being." I've been eating at Kara's for a while, but don't you have to repay me for my kindness? ”

“Oh, so I've lived 11 years to repay Kara for her kindness? ”

I got nine notices about this woman. I'll get hurt if I ever see you like that again.

“Oh, come on! Not if you don't like it. Kara, dead or not, she eats well by herself. How am I supposed to stop her? It's my life, my life. Hmph.”

As soon as I torpedoed the pack, Zambe smiled.

“Got it.”

“Huh?"

“In fact, it bothered me that I had not seen the battle with that man, Fabious. Since he's coming to Kara, he wants to go out and have a good fight. So he's mine. Do you understand?”

“Of course. I don't care about the bald guy either. So you can have it. ”

I smiled in mystery.

Gear convinced Zenbe. Kara now has a huge ally on her back.

In addition to his ability to be a Supreme Master Berserker, he has an absolute influence on the choice of thousands of Orc mercenaries. Zambe is their leader and commander.

‘That's it. Orc mercenaries are on our side now. ’

Orc mercenaries rarely plunder because they know honor. Individuals are also capable enough to be treated as 1.5 human mercenaries, and ultimately die on orders.

I don't like Human mercenaries very much, but Orc mercenaries were really hungry. Orc Mercenaries do not betray like Human Mercenaries do.

“Oh, and pay for your meal. ”

“Meals?”

“Humans, you never paid for food. ”

My eyes rolled. I never paid for it. Something weird is going to happen when we get here.

“It's not my fault, to be honest. Something's gonna happen when we get here. Live a little. Don't hurt the guests. ”

“Is that so? Okay, you'll pay for today? ”

“Of course.”

I stopped looking in my pocket to get the money out. Then I didn't bring my wallet. Earlier, I rushed to the Tohu Palace in a hurry to get to Udine's Bochamp. Looks like Miss Zenbee doesn't get paid for her meals from me.

“Hang it up for now. I'll come back for you later. ”
