Chapter 238: Take advantage of chaos

A few days ago

*****

"This has been a victory for the kingdom, soldiers. We have had great victories. The dawn of this new era is with us. Now rest, tomorrow we will attack the last stronghold of our enemies and recover what was lost by the misfortune that has occurred. For the glory of Zerathia!"

""""For the glory Zerathia!"""""

I watched the reaction of the soldiers to the general’s speech and noting that morale is important during war.

But leaving that aside I had to think about my next moves.

It was early Tuesday morning and we had spent the whole day, after destroying the first enemy front, attacking the others from the front and from behind, sending out burst attacks with the most elite and fastest.

we had used this strategy and destroyed four. The allied forces that were in those engagements eventually joined us and we continued to advance.

However, we could not continue, as the remaining fronts decided to retreat. It was of no use for them to continue defending now that the enemy was playing on their uncovered backs.

All the time I was at the side of General Philips and the elite, and although I was also able to point out how to destroy the barriers I almost never got to fight, but I witnessed again what war was like and how they killed without leaving hostages just to save time and resources.

In a way, it’s my fault, but I can’t back out. These things are nothing compared to everything that my alternate self lived through and possibly I myself will live through in the future, so I swallowed that discomfort, I had to learn to live with it just like I learned to take a life.

’Well, now we have to get past that damned fortress that seems impenetrable.’

With what my principal self saw, I knew that the mountain range and the fortress formed between the three mountains would be the most difficult thing about this place, not to mention that the enemy would bring more reinforcements.

But I knew that this realm could overcome it. why? Because as far as I know, in about a year or less, they should break through it.

There was a reason why this realm was so eager to get to the demonic realm, and it all started because of the accident of the first generation, both humans and demons.

Both sides had entered what were ruins that could hold fortune, but neither made it back. Due to the peculiarity of the place, no one else was able to enter, and it is presumed that they all died.

This unleashed the war, which I see as nothing more than an excuse, since both portals were so close that it would be impossible to develop a new generation without another similar incident occurring, so instead of the younger generation, which is normal, the kingdoms, or rather the two continents, are debating this with their military might.

And now, that’s the cause of the conflict. The reason why they were so aggressive towards the demons was because, about a month ago, the prince of this kingdom who was the most powerful and was about to be the ruler of the continent, joined the war.

He was the only living son of the king, as the other two had died in the first generation incident.

Given the context of this age of the gods, it was indispensable that even as a prince he understood how the world worked, so he was made to join the war.

However, since he was someone indispensable, he was assigned only as an assistant to the grandson of the current great general, who was the most talented of the second generation.

The problem arose when, through an oversight and an ambush, the demons captured the grandson of the great general, who incidentally was also the son of Philips, the general I joined, along with his servants and escorts.

among whom was the crown prince, who were also participating in this war, to harden themselves.

Coincidentally, on another battlefield, they captured an enemy general, leaving both sides in balance with hostages.

An agreement was made that they would not be harmed for the time being, as the general was someone important to the demon side.

Everything seemed balanced, if it were not for the fact that the demons did not know that among the hostages is the only crown prince of the strongest kingdom.

If they found out, the human side would be at an overwhelming disadvantage, so they decided to keep it a secret and continue the war in the hope of overwhelming the demons until they reached a consensus with the hostages.

The great general was also very motivated, since it was his grandson, and the general to whom I subordinated myself, obviously, was also motivated, they wanted to pressure the demons to reach an agreement.

But according to my alternate self’s report, that did not happen. The humans continued to attack aggressively.

The demons would not budge, but they knew they would not kill the hostages, as they could use them to negotiate if the situation worsened.

The conflict went on until they reached the city of Tyravok where my target was, where the humans finally invaded, entered and discovered that the prince was already dead.

The demons did not give in because they had killed him from the beginning, and only later, when they interrogated the general’s son, did they realize that the negotiations would not be any good.

The point is that the humans invaded the city, and the king, in his anger over the death of his last son, decided to invade the demonic kingdom.

But things didn’t go as well as they were going. Finally, the demons got serious and did not back down.

The conflicting forces united and pushed the humans back to the stalemate in the "Middle" world where they were when I arrived.

only for the humans to be the losers years later, giving the demons, full sovereignty over the middle world, and not only that but they returned the favor and even more, invading the human world and destroying the kingdom of Zerathia .

The thing is that At the time the humans were forced to retreat, again, the humans brought many things from the demonic world, and my "little platinum ticket" was one of them. And they would have it in their prison in the human city that I first arrived.

That would be the best and easiest scenario, since I would only have to sneak in and rescue him, he would be there until the demons invaded that side many years later, that would be the margin that my alternate self would probably expect me to take advantage of, to eliminate him, when he was most vulnerable.

But that hadn’t happened yet, and now my main self was trying to figure out where he was at that point in his whole tragic story, something that wasn’t going very well.

Because of the reversal of schedules While in this world it was Tuesday morning, for him it was Monday afternoon.

This world was half a day ahead, and he had already lost a day without any progress.

However, I need not worry about his side, but concentrate on mine.

My job, original was to stay on this side and gather information, but now we changed a bit and I saw the possibility of bringing the invasion forward to help my main self in some way, after all chaos is the best situation, for the weak to take advantage of the strong.

..

.

"Today the whole army will rest and regroup, Tomorrow we will leave first thing in the morning and, after settling in, we will begin the siege of the fortress on the ridge."

There stood General Philips. Now that his helmet was off, he was a blond-haired, blue-eyed man. Because of the Metamososis , and like my father, he looked to be still in his early twenties, but I knew he had a son at least my age.

"As we had planned, we will attack the left stronghold that is commanded by General Mirul, better known for his power than his leadership ability."

Immediately as soon as I finished giving morale to the army, the bigwigs of the army gathered in a war council, setting the strategy for the next siege of the fortresses on the slopes of the three mountains.

The problem was that now he was not the only general, and now seven others were present, all of the same rank, along with their assistants.

But it seemed that there was no opposition, because these were not his words, but the words of the great general who had created the strategy from the beginning, for when they were here.

When he finished giving the long explanation and distributing the roles to this mixed group of various genders and ages, he finally turned his attention to me and introduced me.

"The reason for our previous quick success, as I had mentioned, is due to this person. Come on, introduce yourself and explain your intentions and background."

If I expected them to question me like this when I decided to showily employ such a rare magical branch as Crystal magic, and my ability to see weaknesses and destroy barriers, I shouldn’t be someone normal, at least to them.

"My name is Elira Radiantshard. I come from a hidden family, who decided to open their doors because of the coming era."

As I said that, I formed a transparent crystal stone in my hand, which showed how peculiar this magical branch was. As soon as I said that, several voices began to sound.

"A hidden family?"

"Huh, were there more families besides the Sylvandale and Ashgrove families?"

"Well, those two families are known for the incidents that happened around them, they are called that way because they don’t interact with anyone, until the gods’ ages begin "

"True, the hidden families only come out during the age of the gods, to demonstrate their spells and arts, and unique affinities, as well as the blessings of their gods that they have kept just for themselves."

"these families disappear from history, when the age of the gods ends, that’s why sometimes they are believed to have perished."

"What is a hidden family doing, helping us?"

It was good that on this continent they had known occult families. It would be a problem for me if they didn’t know they existed, since that would be the basis of my identity.
