The Tales of Draconic Warlock

"Shut up everyone. I want a solution, not more arguments. If you are too afraid, then I will take responsibility for it and I have made a decision. I have decided to send reinforcements from the Western troops, where the chances of enemy attacks are low", the Chief announced.

"As you have ordered", the commanders agreed and proceeded to relay the orders to the troops.

He decided to use Western troops for two reasons. They were near Repest town, and the second reason was that they had a clash with the enemy nation a few months ago. This makes it possible that the enemy wouldn't act for some time again.

SO taking troops from this one is the logical choice, as taking soldiers from any other divisions may attract attacks from the enemies.

The chief wanted to curse the damn greed of the kingdoms.

Monsters are the enemies of every kingdom and empire but they are never united even during a crisis caused by the monsters.

The chief knew that it would be hypocritical of him to criticize others when he himself did what the enemies would do to them. Of course, as a military man, he didn't like that one bit, but orders are orders.

He has to obey orders from the king. There is no other way out for him.

Though he carried out the orders, he was never in favour of them. He even wondered if power corrupts people so much that they won't see the big picture.

There is nothing wrong with him thinking about it like that.

All the kingdoms are human kingdoms. Even if they aren't, monsters are the common enemies of humans and it should be enough to not cause more trouble for the nations that are facing a monster crisis.

Though that would be an ideal world, it's not a real world, where everyone is always looking for personal gains, even if that comes at the price of someone's misery. They wouldn't care and that's the reality of this world.

Now because of the fear that the other nations may take advantage of the transfer of troops, the reinforcements are delayed, which only made it worse for the town and also for them.

The reinforcements that they had to send have dramatically increased in light of the new information about the breaking into the town.

The chief wondered if there were even higher tier monsters present in the tide, "Also add that two Tier-7 are to go with the reinforcements", he added.

He has a feeling that some powerful monster that they didn't see is playing the war from the shadows. If not for that, there is no other answer for why the battle is going in this way, rather than the anticipated way.

Sure that could be because of the cult members, but those cult members often work for the high-tier monsters who want to make humans their slaves or eradicate humans from the face of the world.

So he had a feeling that a higher-ranking monster was behind this and using the cult pawns to make the town fall. He can't let that happen and the reason why he ordered to add two Tier-7, just in case.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

The commanders got confused by they did what they were ordered. It was not their role to question their superiors. It would be for the royalty to question these orders if they want to.

There is no need to stress about something that doesn't concern them.

Soon orders were sent to the Western Troops, and the soldiers packed their weapons and other supplements for the upcoming battle.

They were already briefed on what they would be facing and they packed their supplies accordingly.

Reinforcements!

Ah, finally the reinforcements are here, which would remove all the stress accumulated on my shoulders. With their support, it would be easier to remove these pests from the town and secure the rear of the frontline.

Once that was done, the frontline could concentrate fully on their duties of eliminating the monsters without worrying that the monsters could come from the back and attack them.

So the reinforcements should soon come here.

This is very nerve-wracking. These fuckers for reasons are moving in a stealthy manner. Until they were upon me, I couldn't sense them.

[Shadow bolt]

Fuck that was close. I was distracted by the news of the arrival of the reinforcements, and that fucker almost took advantage of it.

[Shadow Bolt]

[Shadow Bolt]

Those fuckers took advantage alright.

Half of us are dead. Everyone who came along with the commander to stop the monsters in the town was either injured or dead. Even I got a few scratches from those fuckers.

The situation doesn't look good at all.

The morale was all-time low and even the commander couldn't do anything until the shouts of reinforcements were heard coming from the frontline.

It rejuvenated us, enough to last till those reinforcements came here.

---

It took more than fifteen minutes after I heard the shout about the reinforcements before any of them appeared near us. It seems that they went directly to the frontline rather than securing the town first.

Idiots.

Don't those idiots know they have to secure their rear first, before eliminating what's in front of them?

Who are the idiots that trained them?

It matters not to me anyway. As long as this battle is over, I can return to the academy and lie down for a few days. I mean, it's very difficult to stop myself from doing more than what I could do.

Constraining myself from killing Tier-4 and above monsters is an arduous task than I believed that to be.

I need to vent the stress one way or another.

It was a mistake to show that I am weak when I am strong enough to fight the top players of the kingdom. I need to reach Tier-7 and show others I increased by another rank.

It's a temporary solution, not a permanent one.

I need to show this world what I am capable of, sooner than later.

After all, peace can be attained through war. I can't have a stable and calm life if one thinks that I am weak. Only when I show that I am strong, would no one be going around to cause me trouble.
