Chapter 405: Last Battle (2)

"That son of a bitch..."

Only then could I realize what the Demon Summoner bastard was aiming for.

He was aiming for the command system.

In a way, it certainly seemed like a checkmate. It was hard to imagine the degree of confusion that the field commanders and the troops on the battlefield would feel.

The means of communication, which had been maintained all throughout the war, had been effectively disabled.

There was nothing that could express how dire the situation was. It would be strange if the allies didn't feel confused.

'I relied too much on the mirrors.'

It was a method to move the entire army like one body organically. However, it was also a one-sided method.

One control tower had control over numerous troops. I never thought that its advantage could be turned into a weakness.

We had lost that advantage in an instant.

It seemed that he already knew that our side was controlling the troops through the Goddess's Mirror. It was natural to find out about it, but coming up with a countermeasure against it that quickly was extraordinary.

I realized that the last battle's strategic move and the one before were aiming for that situation.

The question that remained was how he completely paralyzed the control tower.

'How did he do it?'

I couldn't fathom what the exact method was, except that it was magic.

Perhaps they had the means of negating the artifacts made by magic engineering, or perhaps the organically connected magic power had been cut off.

Demon Summoner Jin Qing himself was a wizard who had reached a high level.

It was by no means unlikely that he had directly inspected the last battle. Thoughts and speculations flew into my head, but I couldn't find a definite answer. What mattered was the result, not the process.

It was more important to find a way to retaliate rather than determine how he could screw us up so hard.

However, I couldn't help but swear in such an urgent situation.

"Fuck..."

"There's no need to panic. Even without the magic hologram, we can maintain the command system. It won't be like before, but... the basic will be possible. Yes. It's possible."

"Can't it be repaired?"

"The magic holograms are already under your jurisdiction. You should've brought your son. Well... Even if he had come, it wouldn't change much. I don't know when it will work again, but that's not that important now. First, we need to get the troops back. I was just getting used to it, too. This is inconvenient. Really... It feels like I've been backstabbed."

"..."

"I'll be honest, oppa."

"Yes?"

"There's no guarantee that we will win. The other commander seems to be five steps ahead of me. I could have leveled the playing field somehow with the Goddess's Mirror, but it's impossible from this point on. I will endure as much as possible, but..."

"That's bad news."

"I want to say with confidence that we can win, but I am telling you this in case our ranks collapse. We have to think about the worst-case scenario. We also have to think about the possibility of suffering extreme casualties."
