Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 262 Chapter

81 Ignition (4)

“In order to assign personnel to the right location, we must first distinguish in what situations each person can be most effective.”

Frondier spoke and manipulated the black sky.

A person’s name was engraved on the wall of Tavern, which appears to be a three-dimensional map. It was Astor Evans.

“I will send Aster Evans to Tavern first. Hector Dutoit is already guarding that place, so our strength will be sufficient.”

When the people in the conference room heard the unfamiliar name, they tilted their heads and then opened their mouths as if it had just occurred to them.

“Aster… you mean Constell’s student?”

“The one rumored to be Baldur’s child?”

After all, everyone here knew who Aster Evans was, even if they weren’t in the conference room.

Frondier nodded and then spoke.

“Aster is an all-weather swordsman who can be active in any situation. “He is the best person for Tavern, which is probably the most variable.”

“…But you’re a student, right?”

“I can say without a doubt that his skills are on par with everyone here. Regarding this, Ospreet, the president of Constel,

“guarantees.”

Ospreet testified as if continuing what Frontier said.

Everyone’s worried gaze was not completely removed, but there were no further objections.

Of course, there is another important reason why Aster heads to Tavern.

Even though he didn’t say it out loud, Aster needs to get Excalibur.

Frondier told this story to Aster in advance. If you have the chance, head to the ‘Sacred Forest’.

Of course, Aster, who heard that

, would go if he could, but would he have the time?

He said with an anxious face, but Aster would grant the favor anyway.

Then someone said.

“Tavern is such a rough place that they send prisoners who have committed serious crimes. “Wouldn’t we need more people?”

At those words, Frondier shook his head.

“I am not sending Aster alone, thinking that will be enough. Any part of the wall will be undermanned.”

Everyone fell silent at the creepy remark. This was true. As a matter of simple numbers, the Empire’s personnel are severely lacking.

This was clear when thinking about the empire’s past, in which knights or mercenaries were brought in to patch up walls whenever the walls were in danger.

“However, it is difficult to find someone as strong as Aster without any weaknesses. I’m sure everyone here has their own preferred situations and easier enemies. “It is difficult to distinguish them individually, so first divide them into two.”

With that, Frondier raised two fingers.

“Is it stronger against monsters or humans?”

Those words were easily understood by everyone. Frondier shifted his gaze and looked at Ampere and Agier.

“For example, my father, Roach, the head of the family, is accustomed to fighting against monsters. “Brother Ajie is much better at fighting against humans.”

For your information, the Roach family’s weaponry was originally created to fight against monsters.

Azieman created his own martial art there and changed it to be suitable for interpersonal combat.

“No matter where you are located on the wall, there must be a pair of people who are strong in person-to-person combat and someone who is strong in person-to-person combat. I will lay it out that way from the beginning, but please keep this in mind when you get into unexpected situations or situations. “While you are fighting the monster, a hidden human’s dagger can stab you in the back, and while you are distracted by Mangot, the monster can break down the barrier.”

As more realistic descriptions were added, everyone’s tension rose even more.

“And here it splits in two again.”

“also?”

“Depending on where the barrier is located, there are times when I organize into groups of four. “This is the standard based on the assumptions made at that time.”

Frondier raised two fingers of his other hand.

“Are you strong in the majority or strong in the minority?”

“…?”

Some people tilted their heads at those words. The question came naturally.

“Where is the person who is strong in the majority? Of course, a minority is better.”

“There is a slight omission in this statement. To put it simply, one hundred goblins and one ogre. Assuming you are dealing with it alone, which do you feel more comfortable with?”

Some people inadvertently open their mouths at those words.

“Of course the ogre”

“That’s better than the goblin”

People look at each other without saying that. This disagreement was not just a matter of wizards and warriors, but differed individually. Frontier smiled.

“As you can see, it’s quite different.”

“…I see.”

They have a lot of experience in combat, but because they have fought according to their own standards, their assumptions about the situation are tailored to them.

Of course, they are strong people who can handle both situations, but when it comes to preference, things are quite different.

“Because there will be multiple fights on the battlefield anyway, this division becomes later than the previous division. However, in Mangot, there are strong people who can rival the Zodiac. “Someone has to be assigned to fight them first.”

Everyone nodded, understanding what Frontier said.

Frondier confirmed this and waved his hand again. This time, a larger amount of black cloth gathered from all directions and carved their names on the wall.

“Then this is the composition I divided according to that standard. “Let’s check the map.”

With those words, everyone checked the map. He was checking where he was going to go.

The eyebrows of Ospreet, who was checking the map together, came together. He slowly approached Frondier’s side and spoke. It wasn’t a voice, it was a magical voice.

[Frondier. At first glance, it looks like there are a lot of empty spaces in the barrier.]

[That’s right.]

Frondier answered with the same skill. While the opponent is using a skill, Frontier can duplicate the same skill.

Of course, Ospreet, who had no way of knowing such an inside story, opened his eyes wide. But soon their eyes became soft.

[Do you think this is the best personnel arrangement for the barrier?]

The question of how Frondier uses magic seemed to be postponed until later. Or maybe he understood it in his own way.

Frondier seemed to choose his words for a moment, then spoke again.

[Mangot is greedy.]

[Greed?]

[Greed to burn down the entire empire.]

Mangot’s mighty fire comes as a huge fear from the empire’s point of view. The fear is even greater because we do not know the power and identity of Mangot and what lies at the end.

Therefore, from the empire’s perspective, Mangot’s plan appears to have been motivated by a fearsome desire for revenge, but it cannot be carried out simply through a desire for revenge.

[Can that be called greed?]

[They are prepared to sacrifice, but they are afraid that the sacrifice will be meaningless. It’s ironic, but the determination to sacrifice and the fear coexist.]

The words Selena said in the past come to Frondier’s ears.

─Terrorists try to find meaning in their actions, no matter how noble their intentions may be.

─It is not an option to ‘do nothing and suffer’.

Although Mangot is not just a terrorist, this statement fully applies.

Even in this place without Selena, I can learn something from her words.

[So they won’t do anything foolish. They will definitely select an operation that could cause a serious blow to the empire. So if you think about it the other way around, you can make a rough analogy here as well.]

When Frontier told Ospreet that far.

“Hey Frontier.”

Someone’s voice flew in.

One of the Zodiac was Ludovic de Fabre.

“I don’t see my name on the map.”

Ludovic has the most similar fighting style to Aster among the Zodiacs. In other words, an all-round character. He is the most balanced and powerful of the Zodiacs and has extraordinary loyalty to the empire.

That’s why Frontier said.

“Ludovic does not go out to the wall.”

“what?”

“Please protect the imperial palace.”

Ludovic blinked his eyes for a moment at those words. Then I soon realized what Frontier was talking about.

“…Are you saying the imperial palace is dangerous?”

“If I were Mangot, I would try every possible way to directly target the emperor. This is even more true since there is ‘shadow transference’.”

At those words, Ludovic closed his mouth as if holding back several words.

Ludovic is more loyal to the Empire than anyone else in the Zodiac. Knowing this, Frondier placed Ludovic in the position of guarding the imperial palace.

The loss of power due to Zodiac’s exclusion from the barrier is painful, but if he is in the imperial palace, Frondier can worry less about the imperial palace.

And in between.

‘…Ludovic isn’t the only one whose name isn’t on the map.’

Fili’s sunken eyes take a look at the map and then look around.

Except for Ludovic, there is no one who is dissatisfied with the arrangement specified by Frontier.

In fact, everyone knows that this is not possible due to a lack of power. It is true that even the expression of doing one’s best in any position is not enough.

However, there is something that no one says but everyone knows.

‘There is no name for Frontier.’

Frontier’s name is not visible anywhere on the map.

Frontier left himself out of the personnel arrangement.

However, no one expressed any complaints about this. This was the difference between Philly’s perception of Frontier and others’ perception.

Most people here don’t know who Frontier is. However, looking at the explanations so far, the emperor’s trust, and the appropriate personnel deployment, most people made similar guesses.

─Frondier is not a combatant.

Frontier is not a guy who knows how to fight. I am here as a staff member or strategist. Of course, he will stay in the imperial palace, where he will monitor the situation of the war and continue to command operations.

This is everyone’s common opinion, so it is natural that Frontier’s name is not on the map.

…But there are some people who know what kind of person Frontier is.

The eyes of those looking at the map slowly turn to Frontier.

Empress Fili and Princess Aten.

Ampere and Adgier of the Roach family.

Zodiac Lili and Monty witnessed the power of Frontier with their own eyes. Ospreet and Ridwi.

Shroud leader Sanders.

It is very suspicious that Frondier’s name is missing from them.

“….”

Of course, Frontier just remains silent.

At times like this, Frontier’s shamelessness and languor shine even more.

* * *

After the meeting, Frondier carefully left the conference room and walked.

Thinking that he had escaped naturally in his own way, he opened the exit out of the palace and said,

‘… again.’

A completely unrelated room appeared before his eyes.

It was a spatial transfer that Ospreet had used before.

It must have been an empty room somewhere in the imperial palace, but there were already several people inside.

They were the ones who sensed something suspicious about Frontier.

“Mr. Frontier.”

Among them, Aten was the first to approach Frontier.

She said, holding Frondier’s hand.

“Please tell me I’m running away.”

“….”

It was an unexpected word, so Frondier’s eyes widened a little.

Aten looked at Frondier with a face swallowing pain as if he had been cut by a blade.

“Why is Mr. Frontier’s name not on the map?”

“….”

“They’re running away because they’re scared of the war.”

While Aten was saying that, everyone in the room was looking at Frondier with dark faces.

“If that’s the case, I’ll be happy to help.”

Aten’s hands were shaking as he spoke to Frondier.

“Please…”

“Aten.”

“I will help you get to a safer place than anyone else.”

“You know that.”

Frondier’s cold voice cut off Aten’s words.

“Why isn’t my name on the map?”

“….”

Fili, who had been watching quietly, opened his mouth.

“Frondier’s direction has been consistent since the meeting until now. To minimize damage to the Empire in attacks from Cape Bay.”

In some ways, Frontier’s staffing arrangements are greedy.

Because I am thinking of blocking everything without throwing it away anywhere. From a strategist’s perspective, this is not a good approach.

If the enemy’s attack exceeds what your allies can handle, you have to think about abandoning something somewhere.

But Frontier did not do that. Although it appears as if personnel are placed at key locations on the wall and abandoned somewhere, in the end they are not abandoned anywhere.

As a result, there is a slight shortage of deployed personnel in every region. If we are not careful, the entire defense wall of the empire could collapse.

“Minimizing damage cannot be achieved through defense alone. “When a war breaks out, no one wants to be foolish enough to fight only on their own land.”

Ospreet sighed deeply at Fili’s words. Ospreet slowly opened his eyes, feeling extremely heavy and low, and spoke.

“…Are you going, Frontier? “In enemy territory.”

“yes.”

An immediate answer without even a second of hesitation. Aten’s body trembled at that.

Ridwi said.

“That guy was like that at Tavern too. “At the time, all the drivers called me crazy, so I wondered if I was really crazy.”

“I heard from Sylvain that it was like that in Jeranhes.”

Sanders received Ridwi’s words and Ampere nodded.

Fili said as if thinking with his eyes turned aside for a moment.

“One spear to pierce the enemy’s stronghold while all the other personnel are holding out on the defensive wall… To put it positively, it can be said to be ideal, to put it plainly, it can be said to be reckless, and to put it negatively, it can be said to be reckless.” “It’s off topic.

” Frontier.”

Ampere said.

“After watching Frontier Jeranhes fight, I decided to acknowledge you. But that doesn’t mean you can walk out on a limb.”

Frondier said to him:

“Right now, I am the only person in Mangot who is least on guard. “I could stab them out of sight.”

“…Frondier is a gamble where the odds are too low.”

It was Ajie who spoke this time.

Frondier looked at Ampere and Agier for a moment.

It’s strange and heartbreaking to see these two worrying about themselves and trying to hold them back.

But Frontier took a deep breath. I speak with forced callousness.

“…If I fail.”

It feels like chewing my tongue.

“Is there any reason not to do this operation?”

“Frondier…!”

Ajie’s voice became more intense than ever.

Without hesitating to hear that, Frondier continued speaking.

“This operation is a complete no-risk high-return from the Empire’s perspective. There is no loss if you fail, and if you succeed, it will bring complete victory to the empire.”

Frondier said that and looked at Fili. Fili’s complexion turned white at the look in his eyes. Her lips parted slightly, knowing what Frondier’s eyes meant.

‘…Ask me to agree? ‘You mean that?’

If you fail, Frontier dies. It’s obvious.

But isn’t that the empire’s loss?

When viewed from the grand perspective of an empire, isn’t that one person’s death insignificant?

You want me to say that?

‘Frondier frontier!’

Frontier’s eyes are too harsh.

The belief that he will always make a cool and rational decision is heavy.

Because she is Filitherst.

Frontier believes she would say so.

“….”

But.

Fili had no voice.

My mouth won’t drop. Fili himself was shocked at his own hesitation. Frondier seemed a little surprised to see that, but quickly changed his expression.

“Don’t worry.”

Frondier said while looking at Ampere.

“I am my father’s son.”
