Lord of Training - Chapter 44



Only Krnovel

44. My own soldier.

44. My own soldier.

The agents faithfully carried out the mission I instructed them to do.

A provocation by our Airborne Mage Squadron that attacked the capital of the Kingdom of Albion.

This was a kind of evasive operation.

Another reason for attacking the capital was to reduce the number of troops guarding the gate here.

That worked pretty well.

Because the number of soldiers on the ice wall was reduced by half from about 500.

‘Is it okay for things to go this well?’

Just before I stopped the truck and headed out of the icehouse, the events of the past felt unreal.

So I turned my head.

Luckily, behind me was Okarlin and 90 angry orcs wielding swords and axes.

At first, I was planning to just go inside the Oak Gate and get the Dimensional Gate Generator.

However, looking at the memories of the orcs Duncan had seen and the current situation of the orcs trapped in the gate like a prison, he thought he could use them if he did well.

‘But I’m the Orc Liberator?’

Now the Orc Chieftain and 20,000 Orcs follow me.

I feel like I’ve become a destined hero.

I started it, but I felt a bit awkward.

“Krung! When will it start?”

Okarin squinted his eyes.

Okarlin must be eager to get his blood on that sharp spear.

Her face is honestly a bit scary.

A half-orc with well-developed muscles and a strong impression, standing at 190 cm tall.

The Orksha chieftain seemed to have a lot of high elf blood in him, while Okalyn seemed to have more orc blood in him.

“I’ll say it again. After I attack, you move.”

“Understood, Orc Liberator!”

The orcs are already prepared.

Now it’s our turn to begin.

“Lieutenant Phelps, go.”

“Yes, sir!”

The icehouse door opened.

It was a very quiet day, with not a breath of wind or snow.

The occasional explosions heard from the capital seemed to indicate that time had not stopped.

I flew through the air with Phelps and landed on top of the ice mountain behind the oak gate.

An artificial ice mountain that completely covered a large gate measuring 200 meters in diameter.

Phelps and I each took out a machine gun.

And he aimed at the castle wall about 100 meters away.

It was a perfect location for shooting.

Clank! Clank!

“Let’s make it hot!”

“Okay! Let’s begin.”

Tutatatang! Tutatatatatang!

Papa pat! Papa papapa pat!

“Ahh!”

“Ugh!”

The machine gunners and machine gunners who were aiming at the gate from the top of the wall were cut down without mercy.

“Ugh!”

“It’s a surprise! Kkuuk!”

As the two machine guns opened fire, more than twenty soldiers fell in an instant.

The soldiers on the ice wall, with no cover to hide from the hail of bullets fired from above, had nowhere to hide.

“On top of the ice mountain!”

“Respond!”

Bang! Ta-tang! Bang!

The soldiers resisted by firing their rifles.

The machine gun was heavy and had a large recoil, so it was structurally unable to aim upwards because the gate was fixed pointing downwards.

The machine gun was also aimed downward, but when suddenly aiming upward, the support had to be moved and the position changed, so the firing position was not immediately determined.

“Grenade Throwing!”

“yes!”

Swish! Swish!

He hid behind the iceberg and threw a magic grenade down.

Boom! Kwaang!

“Ugh!”

The terrain here was 200 meters high, and over there it was 70 meters lower, so all their rifle shots were blocked by the iceberg.

That was when.

Tutatang! Tata tata tang!

The machine gun pointed downwards and took up position, attacking the iceberg.

In an instant, the ice broke and debris flew everywhere.

We hid behind the iceberg.

Since I was using a defensive spell, the fragments didn’t bother me.

It’s not a cannon, and a large, solid iceberg wouldn’t break easily.

“Is it starting now?”

Phelps, who had been bending down in front of me, slightly raised his upper body.

“Yes, it has begun. This will be a terrible night for the Albion soldiers. But is it really necessary to carry out this operation?”

I nodded.

“I told you. Now the orcs are allies. We have to minimize the damage to our allies.”

“Orcs are becoming allies······.”

Lieutenant Phelps shook his head.

He also had an expression on his face that seemed like it still hadn’t sunk in.

Phelps took a cigarette out of his pocket.

And then he looked at me and asked for permission.

“I told you anytime is fine.”

“thank you.”

Phelps lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

“Whew!”

Tobacco smoke billowed out like a mist.

“I thought I had seen everything in my life, but it’s shocking that that ferocious orc listens to your orders, Captain. What kind of magic did you use?”

“Well, I guess it’s more like what we both want rather than just following my orders.”

“Then how did you know what the orc wanted?”

“I guess I understood as we talked.”

“That’s why it’s magic. Who can persuade that fierce orc with words? You are truly a mysterious man, Captain.”

Phelps shook his head and lit another cigarette.

That was when.

Suddenly the gunshots stopped and everything became quiet.

“Surely it’s over already?”

“Huh? I only took four sips.”

“I will go and see.”

I used my Halo skill and stuck my head out.

The double-layered walls were already littered with the corpses of soldiers.

And the ice wall became a red wall.

Huh! It’s over.

The angry orcs, still furious, tore off the soldiers’ limbs and chopped off their heads with axes.

I guess a lot has piled up over time.

There didn’t seem to be any damage as Phelps and I helped by attracting attention.

“Ugh!”

“Ahh!”

At that moment, a soldier’s scream was heard from below the wall.

Orc Warchief Okalyn single-handedly took care of all the dozen or so soldiers under the gate.

Slaughtering soldiers with rifles with just one spear!

She was a warrior of equal strength to the elf prince Evolod.

Okarlin, victorious in the short battle, raised his spear high.

“Kuaaaa! Orcs are strong!”

“Kook! Kook!”

Orc warriors raised axes and swords and shouted in victory.

You fight like crazy.

If you’re fighting an orc in close combat, you’re really out of luck.

That orc now listens to my commands.

Okarlin entered the gate, and a moment later, orcs surged out of the gate like a wave.

“The orcs are starting to come out. Let’s go too.”

“yes!”

I flew to the icehouse with Phelps.

“Orksha, can you read a map now?”

“Of course. Didn’t I just explain it to you?”

He taught me how to read a map with just one explanation.

What kind of monstrous learning ability is this!

The Orksha chieftain was very intelligent.

If you teach him well, wouldn’t he be able to be used as a staff member?

I handed over the maps and compasses of the Kingdom of Albion and the Kingdom of Atlan.

“Move to the Hebrok Territory border as quickly and secretly as possible!”

“It is not difficult. I will do it. Liberator!”

“And I’ll take Okaalin with me.”

“Okay. See you later.”

Orksha summoned the orc chieftains and relayed his orders.

And I witnessed the extraordinary sight of over 20,000 orcs moving all at once towards the south.

Phelps approached.

“Captain, are you just going to let them go?”

“Why? Did you wish for me to give the order to attack the capital?”

“That’s right. If the Orcs follow your orders and attack the Albion capital, the war might end.”

“What next?”

“What next?”

Phelps tilted his head, not understanding the question.

“And can the orcs tell the difference between civilians and soldiers? With their ferocity, they could kill anyone in the capital city they come across.”

“That, that······.”

“And if someone finds out that I’m controlling orcs, will the military command or the Atlan powers that be stay still?”

Phelps thought for a moment.

“I guess you’ll want to use it.”

“Yes. When orcs are orcs, humans can handle them just fine, but imagine if orcs and humans joined forces. Just like we experienced this time, a troop of shotgun-wielding orcs could storm into enemy territory and wreak havoc. Or, for a simple example, if they were to charge into enemy trenches carrying large steel shields, what would happen?”

“It’s scary just thinking about it.”

We had already fought against orcs, so we knew how scary they were.

“The utility of orcs is limitless. If they receive specialized training later, they can become the best soldiers.”

“I guess so.”

“So the orcs here should be known to have disappeared when the capital of the Kingdom of Albion was attacked.”

I told him my plan was to use the orcs to attack the dimensional gate beyond the barrier.

Phelps was horrified when he heard my plan.

“Wow! Using orcs to hunt monsters is a truly brilliant plan.”

“Just keep it to yourself for now.”

“all right.”

Phelps kept giving the thumbs up.

“But why is that half-orc coming with us?”

“Okalin, you have work to do before we go.”

“By any chance? The Warlocks on the front lines?”

“Yeah. Now you’re starting to think a little better.”

“I think I’ve gotten a little smarter since I’ve been with the captain.”

“No. You were always quick-witted.”

“thank you.”

Atlan soldiers called the shotgun-wielding orc paratroopers “Gun Orcs” or “War Orcs”.

Okarlin is taking the warlocks away from the front lines.

I withdrew the battalion troops who were attacking the capital by dimensional radio.

And then he boarded the Falcon and hurriedly headed south.

***

[2nd Corps Command Tent]

“The Airborne Magic Battalion is back.”

“what?”

Commander Bugsley frowned.

“Where are those kids?”

“Major Alain is now in front of the command tent.”

“What? You, a deserter, dare to show up on your own two feet?”

“But shouldn’t we hear the reason? Major Alain isn’t the type of person to act without thinking.”

Chief of Staff Sten said.

“Okay! Let me take a look.”

“yes!”

Major Alain came in.

“Chung! I’m back.”

“You’re back? You little punk······.”

“Commander, may I have a moment alone with you?”

“What? Exclusive?”

“I have something important to tell you.”

Commander Buxley looked puzzled at Alain’s confident appearance.

“Everyone get out!”

The commanders in the command tent went out.

And finally, Sten Bombard glanced at Alain and went out of the tent.

Then suddenly a loud noise was heard inside the tent.

“Alain Bombard! The special mission assigned to you by the Corps Commander has been completed without incident.”

The commanders outside the tent looked puzzled.

“What is this sound?”

“A special mission?”

Sten Bombard also had no idea what was going on.

As the Chief of Staff of the 2nd Corps, there could be no mission that he did not know.

“What? Those bastards! You didn’t even send them on a sortie?”

This time, Commander Bugsley’s voice was heard loudly.

“Ugh! Lieutenant General Fling, that little punk could do that.”

The tent became quiet again.

Sten and the commanders were curious about what was being said inside, but they could not overhear it.

“Hahahaha! Attacking the enemy’s capital!”

And then the commander’s hearty laughter was heard.

“Those kids must be really tired!”

“This isn’t all Commander Bugsley’s fault.”

“That’s right! I gave the order, so it’s my credit! Well done, Major Alain. No, now Lieutenant Colonel Alain!”

Commander Bugsley’s voice sounded very pleasant.

“Ah! This isn’t the time for me to be like this. You should get some rest.”

Commander Buxley came out of the tent.

“Go to the field headquarters right now.”

“yes!”

Corps Commander Bugsley hurriedly left, and his commanders still looked puzzled.

As Alain Bombard came out, Chief of Staff Sten asked:

“Are you saying you attacked Ruth?”

“Yes. It seems that the news has not reached here yet. Commander Buxley has ordered us to attack the enemy capital and break their morale. And our Airborne Squadron has returned after destroying the Albion Royal Palace and the weapons production plant.”

Chief of Staff Sten and his commanders looked surprised.

“So this is why the Albion forces suddenly retreated yesterday?”

“Somehow it felt strange.”

Several commanders were talking about the changes that had taken place on the front lines yesterday.

The Albion royal family and nobles must have been quite surprised.

If you look at the hastily withdrawn troops.

“I’ll go and tell my men.”

“Okay.”

chuck!

Sten Bombard tilted his head at Alain’s salute.

It was said that the Airborne Magic Battalion attacked the enemy’s capital city, risking their lives to establish a merit.

‘How on earth did you travel that distance so quickly?’

Sten Bombard couldn’t understand.

There was no direct airship route from Atlan to the capital of Albion.

We had to stop at other airfields several times to change out our horsepower batteries, and Albion’s winters were harsh, so it was an impregnable fortress in itself.

Now that the airfield and supply base at Glagos had been destroyed, the enemy’s offensive was broken and a counterattack was underway.

***

“Sir, are we going to prison?”

“They won’t shoot you for being a deserter, right?”

The faces of the agents were full of deep thought.

When we arrived at the base, Lieutenant Audrey was told that he had left the operational area, which was considered desertion.

“Okay! Everyone, listen carefully. We have not left our operational area. I have been given a separate secret mission by the Corps Commander.”

“yes?”

“Your mission was to strike the enemy’s capital and break their morale. You have accomplished that mission well. A great reward will be coming soon.”

“Oh! I see. That’s what it is.”

“Hahaha! Well, the captain isn’t the type of person to move without thinking.”

Lieutenant Audrey approached, her chest clearing.

“Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“Then it wasn’t a secret mission. You did a great job on this mission. I told the commander well so that I wouldn’t be punished.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“And in the future, something like this will never happen again. If you wish to join our airborne magic unit, you must obtain permission from His Highness the Archduke Harry.”

“Yes? Is that true?”

I nodded.

“Of course. I’m not the type of person to say two things with one mouth.”

“Then I will go straight to the capital.”

“Okay.”

Hoho! Will the Grand Duke permit it?

Most likely, you won’t come back.

Although it was a shame to waste her outstanding skills, it was burdensome to continue to take care of the Archduke’s adopted daughter.

‘By now, Okarlin will have diverted the war orcs from the front lines?’

Her mission is to pull the Warlocks out of the front lines and into the mountains northwest of Havelock Territory.

There, he planned to join up with 20,000 orcs and cross the barrier.

Then the orc becomes my own soldier.

Of course, I’ll be busy dealing with dimensional monsters for a few years.

‘Now it’s time to meet father.’
