66 Ass ops.

I headed to the western Great Plains with special forces led by Nazir and Bayan.

More than a month and a half from my usual travel speed to my target. It's a longer march than when you left for Ramis, but the journey was comfortable. It was because there was no need to rush the 10-day operation, and the majority of the grasslands were spread out so we could get enough food to feed the water or camels.

The only bothersome thing is that every time our troops move, our neighboring city-states and tribes look out for us. It was due to the fact that the area in which we primarily moved in the early days was a coastal city-state area where Kara and her enemies had formed a relationship and could not be welcomed. Thanks to them, every time we pass their territory, we fire a relentless stalking and military provocation.

I had to keep on marching.

But the battle did not take place. No matter how slow we march, we are much faster than normal. Even though they received a patrol report and sent an army, our army has already left their territory.

At the same time, I was greatly concerned. Coastal city-states can use their strength to attack Ramis, which Qasim protects.

In Ramis, there were hundreds of ships taken from the Navy of Robos. If you take this away from other city-states, there is no future for Kara. Kara doesn't have any ship buildability, and she doesn't have any deformed sculptures.

Of course, hostile coastal city-states are easy to capture by land combat, but honestly, they can't head to the ground. We must have ships, whether we trade at sea or try to block our course.

But now that Zajab's mercenaries have decided to leave. If Qasim can hold them off for two months, Ramis will be safe.

I opened up the map I got from Ramis Fortress on the way.

This map represented the intertwined plan for the future of maritime trade by the Kingdom of Robos. These lines were each coastal city-state, and eventually they touched an island.

‘Jores Island · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

The island of Jores was a giant island about 510 km south of the coastline of the Iposium Mountains and 370 km west of Andrea, a city-state on the western Great Plains. It was discovered by the Kingdom of Robos only decades ago and now contains only one governor of the size of his own territory, but the possibility of its development was very strong.

C. It was because the area of my hometown of Karl was much larger than the Grand Duke's territory.

The island is full of horses, of course, and even the current Governor's decree is rarely maintained, but it would be a perfect place for my future refuge once the development is complete. Because it falls into the sea, it can be freed from the attacks of large magical objects on the continent.

Of course, I still had to be attacked by flying magic, but I was afraid I'd live for more than two years if I migrated the Chicago people to develop and fortify them properly. At least there won't be any charges close to the horror of land-based magic.

It was the same in the age of destruction. There was only a human settlement the size of a small order on Jores Island, but it lasted longer than the Northern Orc Meadow.

Bayan comes riding the camel, standing next to me.

“Master?”

I folded the map for a moment.

“Why?”

“Can we take down Duke Bastein's army by ourselves? ”

Bayan's expression was filled with anxiety. Perhaps you are very afraid of Duke Bastein's army.

“Yes.”

“How? Their army is still close to 200,000, and we are only 4,000. No matter how much I think about it, I don't see the possibility. ”

I smiled, Pic. I called Nazir and stood beside him.

“Guys, what are our objectives in this war? ”

“Wasn't it defeating the Robos army? ”

In Bayan's reply, I waved my hand.

“No. We just have to get them back. You don't have to beat him. ”

“It should be, but · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“We only have to win one battle. That's just thousands of fights. If we win that fight, it doesn't matter if it's 200 grand or 2 million. We just have to back off. ”

“Why? ”

“This whole barren wasteland will turn against the Robos army. Humans can defeat Humans, but they cannot defeat the earth. Human life is finite, but the life of the earth is eternal. We can shovel at most, of course, but the very nature of the earth cannot prevail. ”

Bayan tilts his head. He didn't seem to understand at all.

“No offense, but how do you make land your ally? ”

“That's still a secret. It's over when it leaks.”

“Yes?”

I reopened the map.

“That's something you'll find out later anyway. Do you guys have any intention of coming here? ”

On the map, Bayan and Nazir glanced at the island of Jores that I pointed to.

“Isn't this an island? ”

“Yes. If we win this war, we will own this island. ”

Nazir crosses his arms and looks carefully at Jores Island.

“That's quite an island. ”

“Besides, it's all over the forest, and it rains a lot, so I like farming. Once the development is complete, it will be the most livable land of the Chicago people. That's what you do. I want you to go to the viceroy and develop this place. ”

“What if the governor? ”

“It is one of the duties of a central political subordinate, primarily managing the royal duties. ”

Nazir and Bayan glanced at each other with bright faces. Their dream is to become vomit.

“I'll do it.”

“It's not an easy decision to make. There's a lot of magic here. It's dangerous. But on the day of development, there is also a big prize waiting. You will receive more land than the Earl of the Continent. ”

This land is unimaginable in Earl Land. If you say soju, you must have land to feed.

“I'll do it.”

“Think about it and decide. Anyway, let's talk about this after the war. Right now, it's all about combat. ”

“Yes.”

That's it. We've got people working on Jores Island, too. Though I told them to think about it, they will.

We crossed the western Great Plains one day. From now on, it was a territory of the Robos Army that we had to take much more care of than ever before.

So I speed up the march. Now a day or two from your destination. It would be very unfair to be caught up with the Robos army here.

And when I passed by a castle. I could see more than 30 camel bottles rushing towards us from the gate. As soon as they approached, they all bowed down to me in unison.

The man who appeared to be in the lead in his late 30s said he was a representative.

“Mr. White Face, Jafar's tofu greets you. ”

Zafar was one of the forces of the Western Plains who fought against the Robos army with Braam. After Braam's defeat, of course, he surrendered to the Robos army and stood by them, but there was no strong hostility with Kara.

They never attacked Kara.

“Yeah. What's going on? ”

“I heard about Kara's victory. I'll cut back on that.”

Kara has since defeated the expedition of Marquis Fabious, taking down Ramis, Elama, Merissella and Hussein in turn and expanding her power greatly.

And this was coming as hope or anxiety for the western plains. The rebellion against the Robotic Army is fueled by hope that Kara can save them, and the cooperation of the Robotic Army is that Kara is eating half of the Western Great Desert with grief.

“Thank you. But? ”

“If you're on your way to fight the Robos, let us follow you. ”

“Are you going to fight the Robros? ”

Zafar answered loudly.

“Yes!”

“No, why? ”

“Mr. Robos is my father's enemy. ”

Zhafar was killed in Braam's defense. It was natural for my new son to fight the Robos army to avenge his death, but I couldn't come to the enemy camp and work with a stranger.

Particularly due to the nature of the operation, which demanded confidentiality.

“I appreciate your patience. ”

“Yes?”

“Protecting Zafar here will help us. ”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Zafar Tohu looks very disappointed. He seemed to think Kara had turned his back on him.

You can turn your back on the enemy at this rate. I went on to say:

“I have something for you in five or six days. It's very important. But to do that, you have to be here in Zafar. Can you do that for me? ”

“Yes!”

“Good. I'll talk to you then. Okay, bye. ”

I looked at Zafar, delighted as I left. Working with Kara would be the right choice for him in the end, but at present it is a foolish choice. The Lobros are close and Kara is far away, but I don't know what bull she wants with us. There are a lot of things that are too young to be true.

However, I can only admit that I am willing to take the stand to avenge my dead father. In fact, there are many people who are loyal.

‘Finally you've arrived. ’

The Iposium Mountains were the last place we arrived.

I smiled at this place with endless cliffs. Now I only have one thing left to do to get Duke Bastein's back. Perhaps the duc will be a little cooler with some crazy news coming from the rear a few days later.

I continue north, scouring every inch of the cliff.

“Where is he? It must be around here somewhere. ”

When I came to enemy territory and did the wrong thing, Bayan stepped up and asked.

“Master, what brings you to the Ypozium Mountains? ”

“To take Polkin Gateway. ”

I have finally made my intentions clear. Now that we're here, it doesn't matter what you say.

He looks back at his ears, as if he heard it wrong.

“Yes?”

“I'm here for Polkin Gateway. ”

In my high-toned voice, Bayan opened his eyes wide. Polkin Gateway is an impregnable fortress that has never been conquered. The 4,000 here could never be conquered.

“Master! Fort Polkin cannot go more than a million ways! ”

“Yes."

“How? Fort Polkin is only 90 meters high on the wall. I can't reach the arrow if I shoot it. There's no way up. ”

“But there is a path that leads inside. ”

Bayan blinks his eyes. If there was a path, it would be possible, but it was unbelievable.

“Really?"

“Yes. That's why I have you climbing the cliff. It's a little rough. ”

There is currently no known path to the Polkin Gateway. But it was from the present perspective, not the future perspective. During the time of destruction, a large mob of magic found several roads and broke into Polkin Gateway, one of which I stopped as a reinforcement.

That way, you'll find yourself inside Polkin Gateway.

“Where the hell is that road? ”

“See you later. We're almost there. ”

A moment later, I saw a small cave above the cliff in my gaze. It's barely a hole for one person to enter, but once inside it comes out a pretty spacious place.

“There. Prepare yourselves. ”

Soon to be settled, I summoned the Dark Crescent Horse and prepared for rock climbing.

I climbed up the cliff slowly with a thin rope on my shoulder first. A sharp slope close to 90 degrees is very dangerous, but the climb was not a big distraction due to the large number of hand-stained rock chins.

Suddenly, I looked down the cliff unwittingly at the bottom of the hole. The height of the muscles was 50m.

Then I climbed straight into the cave, lowering the rope straight down, and tied the end of the stone to a nearby rock.

“Here we go. Come on up! ”

On my command, the troops started climbing one by one. They climb a rough rock wall, but with ropes to lean on, they climb up to the cave entrance one by one without incident. It's a long way up, though. Humans can't come up here.

I gave him a magical lantern and shoved his back inside the cave.

“Well done. Go inside.”

After a while, the troops, one by one, entered the cave. After a long time, they all completed the climb, except for 200 people who would protect the camels.

Then I took the rope back and went inside where everyone was.

Immediately, I saw a cave square filled with people. My magic lantern is on, so it's not dark, but it's a place I've never been in, so I have no place to gloom.

I accept the Magic Lantern and slowly move forward. Droplets of poppy water and limestone and limestone growing everywhere. I walked between them and stood in front of a cave wall.

This place is now blocked, but it will be pioneered by magical objects and lead to passageways. I pulled out the tide and began digging through the cavern walls.

After digging down like this, I could see the exterior light infiltrating gently. I put some dirt back into the setting of the outer landscape.

“Here we go. Camp in the cave today and leave tomorrow." ”

I decided to take a day off here. The reality is in trouble now. To get to your destination, you have to travel to a dangerous ridge for a long time. Night shifts were never possible.

After that, I gathered all the troops and went to the Operations Conference.

The troops defending Polkin Gateway were at least 3,000 soldiers, 200 knights, and one master. Instead, our side could have been attacked by a bludgeoning.

I devised an ambush strategy, detailing to everyone the location of the enemy barracks, the gate gate for Earl Malthus and the mansion for the knights.

It was called "Ass-Kicker." If we get this ass-kicking right, Duke Bastein leads the Robos army into a very troubling position. The supplies from the home country are jammed. If we do well, we can end this war here.
