Chapter 382: Holy War (2)

Since there were no visual effects that would make this look even more spectacular, I felt kind of sad. I had really wanted to reenact what my brain had been visualizing all this time.
However, seeing that there was no response above, it seemed impossible to raise a hand to either side in a battle like this.
‘You just need to sprinkle some light on the scene, but even that you won’t do. I’m disappointed, Benignore!’
Though disappointed, I had never heard of transcendent beings in the sky supporting any individual or group.
Of course, I had experienced it firsthand, but that was an exceptional case. It was unfortunate, but I also knew it couldn’t be helped.
‘Because it’s not bad even without it.’
The current scene was ideal enough.
This side was the army of light, and the other side was the army of demons. This was a fight where the good and evil forces had already been determined.
While looking at the scene with satisfaction, I heard Elena’s voice next to me.
“…”
The moment she chanted the spell, her enormous divine power covered the allied forces.
‘Whew!’
If my eyes were correct, it must have been a buff type of divine magic.
The power itself wasn’t that satisfying since Elune hadn’t bothered helping, but at least we had gotten the buff.
‘She’s too cheap, that Elune…’
I had anticipated it since she had sold her own daughter, but it was certainly not like her to not aid in this situation.
In any case, the army of light had begun to get influenced by Elena’s divine power.
Elena, who had actually unleashed the spell, had her ears drooped. She seemed to have exhausted most of her divine power.
The divine power had surrounded almost all of the troops, so it was not unreasonable to look like that.
After nodding, I had begun to walk again.
Of course, I didn’t mean to stand together on the battlefield. I just went to the control room where Lee Jihye was because I didn’t want to fight where an arrow could hit me anytime.
“Let’s go, Hayan. What will Elena do?”
“Sigh. Sigh. I want to watch the battle here. Maybe I could help.”
“You can’t overdo it, Elena. This is not the last battle.”
“Yes, Honorary Cardinal. I will take it into account.”
‘It’s not necessary to take it into account…’
If, by any chance, it would take a long time for her to recover after retiring, it would be difficult to use her abilities in later battles.
The stamina consumed in the Twisted Pond did not fully recover yet.
Having to look afterward, we had to hide and save my power as much as possible. That was why I hadn’t given other missions in this battle to Jung Hayan, or to our lovely returner.
Jung Hayan’s mission was to maintain the Goddess’s Mirror with other wizards, and Kim Hyunsung’s role was to be prepared if anything were to happen.
I had told him many times not to run wild, so I knew he would obey me unless a big twist were to happen.
Of course, it was undeniable that if Kim Hyunsung were to use his strength, we could easily take the victory, but I felt reluctant to expose his power.
At present, it would be sufficient to cover the battlefield properly.
Of course, it was Kim Hyunsung’s role to take care of the Blue Guild members.
‘Yes, absolutely.’
Thinking that some elves and dwarves would definitely die was definitely a snobbish way of thinking, but it was what I genuinely felt.
As I put magic power into my eyes, I could see Kim Hyunsung, who looked around with his sword. He must be trying to keep his eyes on the location of the other guild members.
‘I think I can be relieved with this part.’
It would be right to put a point that at least one worry could be relieved.
Anyway, before the proper siege could start, I had to go to the control room quickly, so I could see a simple tent as soon as I moved.
Opening the installed door and going in, I could see Lee Jihye looking through the magic holograms.
In addition, I also saw some people of the Black Swan, elves, and even commanders on the Dwarves’ side.
‘It’s a very good environment.’
The advantage of reading the flow of the battle in real-time did not even need to be explained.
On the large main screen, I could see the entire force, and in other mirrors, I could see each unit separately.
Of course, there were separate screens for the named ones. It was correct to manage heroes who could greatly influence the battlefield, such as Kim Hyunsung and other Blue Guild members, Elios, and the dwarves.
If this had been a modern battlefield, I wouldn’t need to do that, but the continent’s war was way different from a modern war.
It was certainly convenient if one were to compare it to chess.
General soldiers were pawns, and other heroes with different abilities were bishops, knights, queens, and rooks.
I knew that pawns could be weapons if used well, but the other roles’ importance was not accurate to chess.
What adventurers above the heroic-grade could do was not simply move a few more spaces.
They lead the troops, take the lead in front of the soldiers, and influence the pawns around them, including themselves.
Just like now.
“Come here, come on. Prepare the spirit magic. Implement defense magic before the collision. The same goes for the summoners under the command.”
‘Were there summoner elven sisters?’
I couldn’t remember properly.
However, I could at least get a rough spec. Although it was uncertain to say that they were at the Eight Seats’ level, they had enough level to call them named.
The existence of a variant that popped out behind their backs in an instant was sure to be what the elves called spirits.
-Ahhhhhh!
As soon as they began to emit something unintelligible, the soldiers’ defensive magic was definitely different.
It hadn’t been a long time since Jung Hayan was also focusing on the screen, with her eyes shining as if she was impressed. It was then that Lee Jihye opened her mouth again.
“The magic of the enemy archers and wizards will fall again. Once again, we will implement defense magic.”
Her voice resonated within the entire control room.
Perhaps that voice would propagate through the Goddess’ Mirror.
‘The correspondents will send signals to each commander and named heroes in their own way.’
Those who received the situation before the enemies’ arrows and magic fell would immediately implement the defensive magic.
‘The tactic genius will like this.’
Of course, Jin Qing was not here. However, it didn’t really matter if he held the baton or not.
Leaving the tactic genius aside, the level of infrastructure we had was way different.
In other words, his tactical strategy was not going beyond the board game level, no matter how hard he would want to try. There was no need to mention the difference in the system we had—how the whole force moved, and how we could get the details.
There was no way he knew better than we did.
The speed of delivery of orders from the control room to the battlefield was also painful to take note of.
‘Because it’s all about having good items.’
The unit command system’s infrastructure equipped with the Goddess’ Mirror was a legendary-grade item that could be used from the rear.
It had near to unlimited visibility, and a communication system that could be delivered to individuals. It could even calculate the timing of the enemies’ incoming magic.
Even with these things, if we were to lose the battle, I had no choice but to doubt Lee Jihye’s qualities. After the crisis once passed, I could see Lee Jihye looking at me.
“Blue Vice Guild Master, and Hayan is also here.”
“Long time no see, Jihye-ssi.”
“Yes. It has.”
“The current situation…”
“I think it’s good to see it as good. I don’t know why, but the enemy forces certainly look confused, and ours aren’t. I don’t know the source or reason, but I’m just grateful. Thanks to that, I think we can go a little easier. Of course, it doesn’t change that we have to be careful. Do you have anything to say to them?”
“No. Not yet. I don’t think I need to.”
“I was very impressed with the speech, Honorary Cardinal.”
“It’s an honor to say that.”
“I am more honored, well.”
“So. Are you confident about this battle?”
“Are you asking if we can win or not?”
“…”
“Or are you worried about how much damage we’ll suffer? I’m sure we won’t lose. Opp… No, Honorary Cardinal. I don’t want to show incompetence even though you laid the groundwork like this.”
‘It’s a good attitude. Good attitude.’
It was not just words. It was hard to say this, but she was also talented in tactics.
The ignorant in me had a hard time understanding exactly everything, but it certainly seemed that the forces of light were slowly driving the forces of the demon out.
“Support for Unit 3. Elios is coming.”
‘Good.’
“Elune Knights, stand at the front line. Priests and wizards, assist the Elune Knights.”
‘Very good.’
“Unit 4 does not climb the walls. Wait. Wait.”
‘That’s it, Jihye. That’s right.’
“The wizards under the 7th unit attack the top of the wall, and the Varian priests who do not resist will be protected by the warriors who climbed the wall.”
‘Yolo!’
Gradually, I could see that the walls were getting colored with friendly colors. The outer side of the wall had been destroyed by the spirits after a long time.
The dwarves with shields that pushed in seemed difficult to be dealt with even from the enemy’s point of view.
They seemed to understand and used the characteristics of the conflict itself. The enemy didn’t respond properly, and the prepared coalition was very organic.
‘It’s a magnificent view.’
The other Operations Department members, who were watching the situation in the control room together, were also quite surprised.
It seemed that they didn’t think that things would go so smoothly.
Of course, some had been resisting from either side.
-Stop them! Stop them from coming up! We can win by pushing them as far as possible.
However, he also soon had an arrow stuck in his forehead.
-Ahhhhhhhhh!
After him came some other general soldiers.
-Gasp. Help me. Help me…
-Mother. Moth…er…
-What are the commanders doing?! What are the priests… Gasp!
-Help me. Help…
-Support! Support! Priests! Where are the priests… Cough.
Most of them died in confusion.
Of course, they had to be. There was an absence of a commander.
Of course, after Yev Karina, someone must’ve taken over immediately, but the confusion remained unchanged.
Since the priests woke up, there must be a problem with the retention power itself. Among the it was probably psychological that was the most problematic for them.
With doubts in their minds, it was, in itself, absurd to hold the sword whilst thinking about whether they were being played by a demon’s tricks.
Most of them would simply wield a sword to survive.
This meant that no one was as easy to deal with as an army fighting with the devil in the brain.
“An army, with justification, is strong.”
The sight of the forces of light striking the forces of the demon was definitely pleasing to see.
