236. Gulliver’s Travels (5)

The next day.

An emergency summons order was suddenly issued in the Kingdom of Raitel.

The reason is that the Kingdom of Lilliput suddenly declared war!

I listened to the news in Ichika’s room and nodded with satisfaction.

‘Oh, did Gaeul choose the correct answer?’

No matter what anyone says, the most important thing in this Gulliver’s Travels quest is the giant.

The worst route is to let the giant starve to death.

Spending the treasury to feed giants is the lesser evil route.

And the best route is to start a war first and feed the enemy’s horses to the giants.

Of course, no matter which one you choose, the giant will not die.

Before the giant starve to death, we will attack the Lilliput Kingdom first.

Then, of course, the giant would fight on the side of the Lilliputian palace.

‘Actually, it would have been okay if it was just the second route.’

If you do not bring Autumn Senior in this quest, you will be stuck on the first route.

A route that does not feed the giant due to the backlash of the ministers.

In that case, the giant cannot eat, so he cannot use his strength, and the Lilliput Kingdom suffers great damage.

However, thanks to senior Gaeul choosing the correct answer, the quest became much easier.

Well, now it’s war.

What should I and Ichika do in that war?

‘Assassination of the devil’s servant.’

Even though our side suffered a crushing defeat, we survived. Eliminating spies hiding among friendly forces.

This time, my humble status helps.

Anyway, I’m just an extra, poor guy.

Without any particular attention. Even if you fight roughly, you won’t be branded a traitor.

‘However, in Ichika’s case, he is a high-ranking authority figure, so it is quite difficult to control it…’

Even the Minister of Magic has a large stake in the battle.

If you lose, you will be held responsible.

Ichika, the Minister of Magic, was something I had never seen before, so I felt like I had to think a bit more.

All my worries were meaningless.

My wish came true so easily.

“What!? “Ichika, you’re missing this battle?”

“·······Yes.”

Ichika, who returned from the ministerial meeting convened by the queen, delivered his words with a sullen face.

“What happened?”

*

‘Her her ······. Crazy…’

I listened to Ichika’s words and opened his mouth.

So,

It is said that the queen was extremely angry that the ‘small’ kingdom of Lilliput had dared to declare war on the ‘big’ kingdom of Lytel.

So, she immediately ordered preparations for war.

─ The Minister of Magic is out of this war. At best, isn’t this a war against a small country? There is no need to use a cow knife to kill a chicken.

By saying that, he completely excluded Ichika.

After hearing the atmosphere of the scene and the ministers’ words, I nodded.

‘Ah, this is it. An incompetent king who is jealous of his competent and capable subjects.’

Weren’t there a lot of them in past history?

This is an example of an ugly person in power who has a hero with power and the people as his subject, but is wary of him.

It was a completely understandable development when you think of the Queen of the Kingdom of Lightel who appeared in the original game.

‘It’s such a mess?’

In this way, if the Minister of Magic were to leave the war, there would be no need for Ichika to take responsibility for the defeat.

Rather, she was defeated because Ichika did not step forward, and her queen’s power would be weakened.

In other words, I deal with the devil’s minions in war.

As for Ichika, preparations can be completed separately.

Maybe get ready to finish this story soon!

As I was contemplating my thoughts, I looked at Ichika.

Ichika was blowing air into both cheeks with a grumpy expression.

It looks like they are quite dissatisfied with not being able to participate in the war together this time.

“Ichika.”

I chuckled and held Ichika’s cheeks with my fingers.

Pooh──

A sound of air coming out of Ichika’s mouth with a sullen expression.

“Instead of going to war this time, I have something to do for you.”

“······What should I do?”

“Yes, I used the shadows to gather all the information about this Kingdom of Lightel, everything. “Can you collect it for me?”

Then, Ichika’s glum face slowly brightened.

“Yes, I will.”

“But don’t overdo it. The most important priority is your safety. “Understand, right?”

“·······Yes.”

Ichika nodded his head while holding the ball.

* * *

“Dare! We have to show those idiots who provoked the Kingdom of Lightel a proper lesson!!!”

An army of 50,000 people.

A woman with her bright yellow hair tied up raising her voice in front of him.

It was a familiar face.

Elena.

So, it was the instructor who developed sparring for me not long ago.

“What it is like to stand up to our Kingdom of Lightel! Let them know!!”

She shouted with bloodshot, red eyes.

‘I guess I have to get revenge somehow in this battle.’

She seemed desperate to get rid of the stigma of being an instructor who sparred with a male trainee.

‘Oh my, what should I do…’

Among the soldiers, I put on my helmet and sighed.

In this battle, we are defeated.

It’s not even just a loss. It’s a plane.

‘Well, it’s all their own karma.’

Okay. It would have been okay if he had started an argument with me and then admitted defeat in the subsequent sparring.

However, even after that, it seems that he continued to make requests and petitions, thinking that I was the devil’s minion.

However, all of her attempts were foiled in the face of the power of the Minister of Magic.

Therefore, he insisted that he would somehow make a contribution in this war and even sacrificed his wealth to take on the position of captain.

“Everyone ready to move!!!”

Elena was screaming desperately with a blood clot in her neck,

On the contrary, the atmosphere in the Kingdom of Raitel going to war was very light.

“Hey, I heard there are only 10,000 troops over there?”

“Therefore. “I don’t know what kind of courage they took on.”

“There are 50,000 of us.”

It seemed difficult to be serious in front of a force that was almost five times larger.

‘But that will change soon.’

Because there is a secret weapon over there.

A giant whose eyes are rolling back from hunger and whose strength remains intact.

“Sortie—!!!!”

With Elena’s signal to advance, the 50,000-strong army began to rumble, raising dust.

* * *

“Chi, my friend… But why on earth are they putting this on…”

The giant asked in a puzzled voice.

He was now covering his head with a bright red cloth.

For this, all the kingdom’s troops had to rush in and rip off all the royal curtains.

Srurrrr

No matter how carefully you walk, the cloth drags behind your back and a thick layer of dust rises.

Because of this, Lilliput’s troops were moving at a distance on both sides of the giant.

“Ha, giant. They say it’s because you don’t know. In things like this, showmanship is important. Showmanship.”

Lim Ga-eul spoke happily while standing on the shoulders of giants.

“Show…Manship? What is that?”

“Well, you came from the beginning! If you show up like that, the enemies might all run away, right? Then what is it? “I heard that the horses you eat run away first?”

“Surely······. “That’s troublesome.”

Rumbling─

Let’s think about meals. The sound of the horn sounded again from the giant’s ship.

“I am now. Because I’m hungry.”

Eventually.

The army of the Kingdom of Lilliput, accompanied by giants covered in cloth, faced the army of the Kingdom of Raitel on the plain.

“······.”

The army of the Lilliput Kingdom swallowed dry saliva with tense faces.

It is difficult to realize the difference in military strength of over 5 times until you see it with your own eyes.

However, when I see the endless line of people in front of me, I can’t help but realize it!

What kind of fight have they come to fight now?

On the other side, a woman with her yellow hair raised up her spear and shouted in a loud voice.

“The Kingdom of Lilliput! I will deliver Queen Laitel’s message to you! Oh, you weightlifters who dare to rebel against our kingdom of Raitel. Today, this place is your grave!!!”

“Waaa!!!”

A fierce declaration without compromise.

As a result, Lilliput’s troops cowered even further.

Of course, he brought a secret weapon, a giant.

I had doubts about whether that giant could take on all of those people.

The giant they saw spoke slowly and acted slowly.

Let’s recall how they were easily captured without being able to break even a single rope that tied them.

Suspicion is bound to deepen.

“uuu…”

It was a time when someone’s teeth were chattering together in fear.

Flutter—!

“······Wooo!!!”

The giant threw up a huge cloth and raised his arms upward.

And the Lilliputian soldiers could see.

A woman with green hair, on the shoulders of a giant.

‘······Why, Queen!? Here!?’

She proudly stood on the shoulders of giants, wearing comfortable clothes that a commoner would wear.

She opened her mouth with a cold expression.

“Army of Lilliput! Follow me and wipe out the enemies.”

At the same time as shouting like that.

Woowoowooung─

A heterogeneous blue energy gathered towards the giant.

‘Haha! All the jewels of the Lilliput Kingdom are magic stones of such high purity! With this, I can fight too!’

“Hey, giant! Extraordinary acceleration!!!”

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Boom!!

At the sound of that voice, the giant started stamping his feet and running forward toward the enemy camp.

“Wow!!!!”

And the soldiers of the Lilliput Kingdom began to run after the giant.
