I was sleeping when someone suddenly woke me up. We were in a battlefield, so it couldnât be helped if it was an emergency.\n
It wasnât the place to get a good sleep. And so I didnât complain.
I had been asleep for just an hour or two.
In other words, the fatigue was as strong as ever.
My wounds werenât healed. The only difference was that I had stopped bleeding.
Our guests were supposed to be the Corps Commander and his army. What did they want?
I probably should have gone out to meet them. But my body wasnât obeying me at the moment.
âHey, Golan. They say you did it again?â
âCorps Commander⌠Why are you here?â
Corps Commander Nehyor appeared with his men.\n
âSo, you really do like sleeping on top of the corpses of your enemies, Golan.â
âWell, they do a lot of damage and I havenât recovered yet.â
âI see. I suppose even the great Golan cannot take down a Gigant Centaur without getting hurt.â
The great what⌠Who did he think I was?
Also, couldnât he just answer my first question?
ââŚSo, where are you going?â
His men were all armed as they marched. It was as if they were off to war.
âI just thought Iâd stop at the enemyâs main camp.â
âWhat?â \nTheir main camp⌠Was it such an easy thing to do?
If Corps Commander Nehyor was defeated, weâd have to retreat. This whole area would be taken by the enemy.
âUp until now, the enemy was still here. But look. There is a straight path to their camp now.â
âSo there is no worry of a pincer attack. A good opportunity for us, donât you agree?â
Theoretically, it was as he said.
The enemy had split up into three camps.
If Nehyorâs men tried to find a gap, and head towards the enemy main camp, one of the other armies could turn around and attack them.
And that would result in them having to fight the enemy on both sides.
\nI had never heard of anyone beating a General through Gekokujyo.
Why? Because itâs just that hard to beat someone who is above you.
âOh? Are you worried about me, Golan?â
âUh, wellâŚI guess.â
âHmm. Iâm not really sure. But we have momentum. I think we should be able to make it.â
Wasnât the bigger problem what you would do after arriving?
Of course, there was no way that he didnât know that.
And so I decided that I wouldnât ask any more questions.
âDo your best to avoid getting killed.â
âIndeed. âŚWell, we must go now.â
