After bowing, Athena turns to us and says
"Dear participants, in this test you must conquer the enemy's castle in a simulated battle without using your fighting power and only using your intelligence."
Athena pauses and then continues again
You don't have the right to participate in the battle yourself, and you only have to take command of your army and lead them to victory, but if the enemy approaches you, and is within a hundred meter radius of your command center, you are allowed to attack. But you are also not allowed to leave the 50-meter radius of the command center."
After Athena's words several gates appeared, this time the light in the middle of them was blue, and Athena said
" wish you luck"
I will definitely not participate in this battle, because my ability to command is less than stomach wind
And many others were like me, because they knew what would happen to them if they could not pass this test successfully.
"Poof, this one is too easy."
I looked towards the sound and saw a young girl, this girl seems to have underestimated this test a lot
As I looked at the girl, I noticed that "M" was walking towards the girl, and he gave a kind smile and extended his hand to shake her.
After the handshake, it seems that things are said between them, of course, it doesn't matter to me
(POV "M")
Well, now that I have closed the bet, I better go to fight
I enter the blue gate, and find myself in a royal tent like the camps where the commanders went to command the army.
"Greetings to the supreme commander"
I look towards the voice, and I see a middle-aged man who is about 40 years old, I think this man is something like an npc in games, because when I entered, without even knowing my name or recognizing my face, He respects me
So it can be concluded that his behavior is predetermined and somewhat repetitive.
The middle-aged man bows to me and says
"Commander, your army is ready and they are under your command, just give an order to turn the castle of these creatures who dared to rebel against you into ruins."
Because of his behavior, I lose my control a bit and make a gesture like a commander who has been through countless wars.
"Soldier, don't be too proud of yourself, even these lowly creatures should not be underestimated"
I pause and continue again
"We must first arrest all of them, then we must cut off one of their hands and then laugh at their pleas that their lives are now in our hands, of course we will not destroy the castle, because we have to sleep outside at night like this."
As I was enjoying roleplaying as a general, that featureless voice in my head started talking again.
"Ah, be serious at least once, don't be so emotional, I know how you are, some people think before they act, others act first and then think, but you don't use your brain at all." Kenny, so why did you come to a test that depends on intelligence?"
Well, even though I get upset by his words, my heart is made of glass, but he is right when he says that I don't use my brain, but...
Even I have a solution to win, as someone said, "In front of absolute power, all tricks are ineffective."
After some useless arguments with the voice in my head, I turn to the middle-aged man and say
"Soldier, take my message to the army and tell them to attack the fort with all their might, just like a herd of wild cattle they have rammed."
The soldier gives a military salute and says
"Yes sir, although we are not cows, but whatever you say"
Well, now I just have to sit and wait for victory
...
_ten minutes later_
The soldiers who were going to the fort were constantly killed by the arrows and stones that fell down from the fort wall.
"Isn't it fun?"
"M" said this while leaning on a stone on top of the hill where the command center was located.
"Crazy, your soldiers are going to fuck in groups, then you say, is it fun?"
M impatiently got up and said to the voice in his head
"Don't worry Deoth, the winner of this war is still me"
The voice in M's head, whose name was Deoth, said angrily
"Four-legged animal, now all your soldiers are dead and you only have a few left, how do you want to win with these few soldiers left?"
I get up and look at the gates of the castle, which until a few moments ago, was massacring my soldiers.
The gates of the castle are opening to reveal the army behind it
"Deoth, you are finally going to see, what is my plan to win"
A few minutes later, a huge army of nearly ten thousand members, divided into horsemen, archers, and also infantry
As the first person enters the hundred meter radius of the command center, M gives a small smile, holds his left hand above his head and towards the sky and says
"Symphony of War - The First Moment - Rain of Swords"
After these words came out of M's mouth, everyone on the battlefield, even those far away from M, could hear classical music.
As the classical music played, the soldiers did not stop attacking, and advanced further
But, they did not know that this symphony had reached the ears of the sky and circular and red colored gates were formed in the sky andDaum sent a shower of swords towards the soldiers
The soldiers who were immersed in listening to classical music, as if they were possessed by an illusion, did not notice the death of those around them, and even though the person next to them was dying, they did not show any reaction, and the more this classical music was played, The soldiers became more reluctant to attack and the clash of swords became more intense
This process continued until there were mounds of corpses on the ground and a person was moving among these mounds with a faint smile on his face.
His smile was not from happiness, but it had an infinite bend in it that no tears could show
He leaned on the corpses and sat next to them, in the fountains of blood
"Honey, I've finally learned how to be ruthless, but it's too late, of course, with the current timeline, wait, I'll soon make this timeline what it should be, and your deoth should me too. help"
Deoth was silent, a silence that showed his approval
