89 – The flow created by God
The imperial army is converging on Yorktown, the northernmost fortress, abandoning the key strategic points in the south.
Watching these movements, General Rafael of the Kingdom of Franz also began to feel truly surprised.
“Honestly, I was skeptical… “It’s really going according to what Director Cromwell said.”
“Isn’t he someone who has been in the imperial army for half his life? Moreover, it is perhaps natural that he, a master craftsman recognized by many, knows the habits of the commander-in-chief.”
Grand Marshal George speaks in an attitude as if he knew it would happen.
I had already heard stories about Cromwell from my subordinates, General Franklin and Congressman Benjamin, to the point where my ears were stinging.
He was the result of ‘a move’ that followed Cromwell’s opinion. He was naturally accepting the movements of the imperial army that were taking place.
To be honest, it felt quite unreasonable at first, but in any case, as the result was a spring that came true as he said, General Lafayel slowly nodded while looking at Cromwell in front of him.
‘What a great longevity… No matter how much information you have about the enemy, it is not easy to use it so perfectly… Edward Cromwell. Surely the name was not in vain.’
Lafayel is deeply impressed while acknowledging the other person’s capabilities.
At the same time, this situation was once again putting trust in this man not only in him but also in the hearts of those who had seen Cromwell and followed him until now.
‘hehehe… Indeed, Captain Cromwell. As expected, the person who will become my husband is different no matter what.’
‘Everything belongs to the great being…’ According to the master’s will… ‘
‘Well, Cromwell is God’s apostle, so this is a completely natural result.’
Except for Rafiel, these people are now accepting this situation almost as if it is natural.
However,
He is the person at this moment…
Edward Cromwell was frankly quite surprised about the current situation.
*
[As planned, the scattered imperial troops were gathered in one place.
Now annihilate the enemy’s main force and raise the banner of freedom in this land.
* Quest reward ‘Final Battle’ begins as soon as other conditions are met.]
‘This is really happening…’ ‘
To be honest, I was always skeptical about the current situation.
I knew that things would turn out well since the quest was launched, but I had no idea that things would progress this naturally.
‘Then I thought about the darkness in my heart… Could it be that there is something to this too? Honestly, just like the quest just before, I feel like this god is becoming more and more suspicious… ‘;
I couldn’t know the exact details.
But one thing is clear.
About this being called God…
And within the frame of the quest, there was something called compulsion.
It is as if the empire must inevitably be defeated and the rebels must win.
And,
About this kind of flow.
There was one thing that naturally came to mind.
A flow that appears free on the surface, but is ultimately trapped within a frame that cannot be escaped.
Unlike perfect reality, a world where there are limitations to change.
Games.
Although this world today has quite a few parts that are similar to reality.
At the same time, there was an image reminiscent of a world in a game where one follows a path predetermined by the hand of a god called the ‘Creator.’
‘If you think about it, there were many other strange things besides this… ‘
In addition to the compulsory element of quests,
This is the part that gives me a sense of discomfort that I have been feeling all along.
It is… Even at this moment, it makes me feel a little awkward.
It was a part about our forces who call themselves rebels and rebels.
‘Generally, rebels do not call themselves rebels… At first I thought it would just be like that… If you think about it, it’s a strange title in many ways.’
Those who maintain the title of rebels despite calling themselves revolutionary or other better titles.
I asked Franklin a question about this some time ago,
Regarding this, she tilted her head and asked me back.
“What’s the problem?”
“Yes?”
“We rebelled against the empire, so isn’t it natural to call us rebels? “I don’t understand why you’re questioning this.”
Looking at Franklin’s attitude as if he was not feeling any sense of discomfort, I realized that this part was following the same pattern as in the original work…
The ‘enemy’… In fact, it was recognized that there was no change in the description of them as beings defined as monsters, who had always used words other than the title rebel.
‘I had an idea that this would have an impact someday, but… ‘I didn’t know that the situation would go directly like this.’
Making all flows flow positively based on me…
The flow of the world that allows the player to move in a direction that allows him to clear the game.
That is the existence of ‘God’…
No, to be more precise, I thought that it might be the intention of the creator who is the foundation of this world.
I couldn’t help but feel goosebumps in many ways.
In other words, this world is a so-called predetermined fate… The same thing exists.
This is because it can be seen as meaning that the flow of the world is forced to flow.
‘I failed the quest… There are no similar options, but… What can I say, I don’t feel very good in many ways.’
So,
I felt this as an opportunity to take advantage of the imperial army’s outrageous actions this time.
To put it in an extreme way, the feeling of being a puppet of an invisible hand.
However, apart from the fact that it causes such inconvenience,
For now, I had no choice but to quietly follow the will of the being called ‘God’ on this issue.
‘I don’t feel good, but… Well, in other words, it means that the overall trend is ultimately in my favor.’
Right now, the god thing was having a positive impact on me, so there was no reason for me to reject it.
Of course
There is a possibility that the ending will be the same ending as in the previous original work, so you may need to keep your guard up…
‘No matter what, since there is no reason to refuse the rice cake offered, we must win this war… ‘The next thing is to find out what that being called God is up to.’
Just like that, I was wary of the trap-like part that might lie behind here.
I, along with other generals, began preparing to launch a full-scale offensive against the enemies gathered in Yorktown.
At that time…
“General!”
“What’s going on?”
An adjutant from the Kingdom of Franz comes inside with an urgent voice.
Immediately after that, the words that came out of his mouth. A serious smile began to appear on General Rafael’s face.
“Finally… “It has come.”
*
Numerous battleships dividing the sea.
At the center,
She…
Prime Minister Eli Hellat.
As the overall commander of this fleet, I calmly gave orders while looking at the new continent that was slowly beginning to appear before my eyes.
“Don’t move too hastily. I’ll say it again, you shouldn’t engage in battle without taking them out completely.”
“Yes, sir.”
“After moving for about an hour more, we lower anchor and put the fleet on standby. That’s where they wait to be caught in the net.”
“I understand, Your Excellency.”
The generals show respect to Prime Minister Eli’s words and then immediately give her orders.
Immediately after issuing the order to proceed with the operation,
Ellie quietly gazed at the small Imperial Army camp in the distance and began to show a calm smile on her lips.
*
“What? “The navy of the Kingdom of Franz?”
“Yes, General Cornwalls. It is said that they are currently encamped at the entrance to Cheshire Park Bay.”
“Tch… “I expected it to some extent, but I guess they are flocking here as expected.”
The navy of the Kingdom of Franz is said to be anchored not far from Yorktown.
Their attitude is believed to be that if the rebels who have arrived in this area start fighting, they will launch a joint attack on land and sea.
In response to this, General Cornwalls immediately gave instructions to his subordinates.
“Tell the Imperial Navy to the south to send someone immediately and tell them that the enemy’s location has been confirmed and to intercept them immediately.”
“Yes, I understand, General.”
If they move into Cheshire Park like this and start pounding on Yorktown, things will be troublesome in many ways.
It was General Cornwells’ idea that we should attack this side first.
In response, the imperial navy, which had been circling south, began to rush north.
From the perspective of General Cornwells, with someone who can be called an uninvited guest…
*
“I… Are you sure it’s okay?”
“There is no problem. What’s the problem with me, the general of the empire, trying to save the commander-in-chief in crisis? “You haven’t forgotten the rule that says you can take action even without an order in an emergency situation where your immediate superior is in crisis, right?”
“That… that… That’s right. Still, if we find out about this, we may end up disrespecting General Cornwalls… “
“Does it hurt to be beaten by that person for no reason? Or is he just sick of being legally squeezed by me?”
“… “
“Uhm… “
General Nelson pushes the situation by talking about legal facts.
As a result, the navy generals had no choice but to keep quiet, unable to say anything more.
Next, Nelson’s gaze turned to the Franz Kingdom army that was slowly beginning to appear.
‘Okay then… ‘Would you like to wipe out all the obstructionists and then go see your brother?’
