NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29: Tactical Genius.
“What? It’s coming right at us.”
“I don’t know what they can do with just one KOG.”
“This is what they call a Kamikaze, isn’t it?”
Nearly 30 KOGs are defending the area.
Only one KOG rushes into their encirclement.
The soldiers greet it with a haughty smirk, showing a look of reserve.
“Hahaha, you look like a suicidal man. Maybe you don’t have enough brains, I’ll be happy to kill you as you wish.”
One KOG then aims a gun at Kenya.
“Well then, inferior…!?”
The gun he held up was shattered.
By a single shot from Kenya, who is coming in this direction with all his might.
He shot them with only one shot by accurate shooting while moving at high speed.
You see, they made a mistake in their choice.
What they should have done was to set up a barrage of all 30 of them.
They were caught off guard by the fact that it was only one unit.
Even though the opponent was the one that had slain the head of the Holy Knights.
“Takeeee cover!”
All of them ready their guns for the single KOG.
But it was already too late. Kenya was in the midst of 30 KOGs.
“Stopp, don’t fire!”
Surrounding Kenya in the center, 30 KOGs ready their guns.
But they couldn’t shoot, because if they missed, they would hit their allies behind them.
“Everyone, switch to swords! We’ll surround him and crush his ass!”
They then attempted to charge about five KOGs towards Kenya.
“Concentrate, concentrate!”
Kenya concentrates, so that he knows where all the KOGs are as they charge and is aware of the attack from behind.
“This guy, does he have eyes behind his back!”
Kenya deals with all attacks while being surrounded.
However, it still seemed reckless in a 5 vs 1 battle.
The battle seemed to favor the Empire, but he was only one man, after all.
If outnumbered, many against one is so difficult in a battle.
But they begin to notice something strange.
“Why can’t I even get a shot off!”
“It’s five versus one!”
“Why can’t I stop this one too?”
“Concentrate, don’t take a single shot. Figure it all out…”
Kenya gradually gets used to many versus one.
In Kenya’s brain, he can see the world as if he were looking down on it from above.
The parts he cannot see are supplemented by his brain. He anticipates movements and foresees the future.
It is like Rhode’s vision of the future.
What differs from the Rhode’s, however, is the macro and micro world.
Strategy and tactics, and Kenya was about to ascend to the extreme of these tactics.
On this hellish battlefield, the boy who puts his life on the line awakens.
To become one of the strongest in this world.
But no one knows it yet.
And finally.
“Naah?”
He launched a counterattack.
“With this, one!”
One KOG explodes with a flash of Kenya between fights.
“Okay, I can do it!”
Gradually, he even seemed to be regaining his footing.
In the first place, the Empire forces were not expecting a 5 vs 1, nor were they able to form a good combination.
That was one of the factors.
But more than that.
“Minimise your movements and dodge, decide your counterattacks with a single blow, and understand that one mistake can kill you.”
Kenya’s level of movement was on a different level.
“Oii, what the hell are you guys doing! You are dealing with only one opponent!”
A military man with the rank of captain, who appears to be the unit commander, shouts.
He is frustrated and steps into the battle with Kenya.
He is called the Knight Commander, the head of the knights.
He was an elite who had graduated from a pilot training academy with excellent grades.
He was.
“Captain!!!!”
He inadvertently entered Kenya’s space, and after a swordfight lasting only a few seconds, he was unable to withstand it and was cut down.
The knight with a long history of warfare turned to ashes with a scream.
“What the hell is this guy! What’s going on!”
It was as if an absolute realm of swords had been created in a certain space around Kenya.
Even the spherical area was visible to Empire soldiers.
It was as if the image of anything entering that area would be immediately hacked to pieces stopped the soldiers in their tracks.
Even though they thought they had the upper hand, five KOGs had already been reduced to ashes.
Kenya’s defense was flawless.
If he kept it up, he would be able to defend it.
But that defense was easily broken the next second.
“Don’t let them escape! Resistance!”
As the focus of the Empire soldiers shifted to Kaguya and the other Resistance members.
Isshin and the others break through the gap which Kenya has created.
A single KOG of the Empire Army took off to follow behind them.
“KAGUYA!!!!”
Kenya, who had been protecting them, charges at the KOG aiming at Kaguya and the others.
He threw down all his defensive formations and gave it all he had.
So he succeeded in defeating that KOG.
“Kenyaaaa!!!!”
Although he succeeded in defeating it.
Kaguya screams when she sees the KOG blasting in front of her.
Because Kenya was struck from behind and one arm exploded.
“Hurry up and go!!!!”
Kenya turns his back on Kaguya and the others.
Kaguya tries to reach for Kenya, but quickly pulls back and turns around to run.
Kenya looks at her back with a sideways glance.
—Thank goodness, you made it away…
He then turns to face the Empire army again.
In front of him is a massive army of KOGs.
While staring at this large army, he strikes the ground with his sword.
A straight line is drawn horizontally, like a boundary line.
“This line. I will not let you cross this line. Even if I die, I will never let you cross it.”
As if telling himself and declaring to the Empire forces.
That is where Kenya’s death struggle began.
Kenya, who was still on the defensive even after losing one arm, was like a goddamned absolute wall, even though he was supposed to be a dead man.
The Empire forces were unable to pass through that far-higher, impregnable wall.
One by one, the Empire’s KOGs were being shot down.
The large army of 30 units had already been reduced to 15.
“Why did he have to go that far ……?”
“Not yet, we can still fight…”
Kenya’s eyes were not dead.
Even so, he was already out of ammunition and one arm was immobile.
Because of this, his energy was depleted and he had no room left to spare.
“Dammit, put up a barrage! Eh, from a long distance. Shit, it can’t be helped. It’s an endurance battle! Stay away from him!”
Another knight-in-chief orders.
His orders were very precise, but his pride wouldn’t allow it.
There was only one opponent, and 30 KOGs against that one opponent in a close-range battle was like declaring defeat.
And because endurance warfare means letting the resistance go.
—- Throw away all shame and dignity. He’s that dangerous.
A barrage of bullets from a distance, a storm of bullets.
There was nothing Kenya could do about this.
Kenya’s KOG lacks the speed to close the gap.
Just by trying to close in, it is obvious that he will end up being turned into a beehive.
Currently, he manages to hold out by avoiding the KOG he has knocked down while using it as a shield, but it is already only a matter of time.
Bullet by bullet, the bullets damage Kenya’s KOG.
“K… but…”
Kaguya and the others are no longer in sight.
I’m too concentrated to see how much I’ve earned, but it seems I’ve succeeded in letting them escape.
I have already bought enough time. They should be able to escape now just fine.
The siege has been broken.
“Thank goodness… the task has been fulfilled.”
Kenya felt relieved.
Then the KOG stops functioning after being hit by a bullet.
It slowly falls to the ground.
“It stopped… …… at last …… you finally did it ……!”
Kenya’s KOG was finally brought down by a long-range shot.
The stoppage was caused by energy leakage due to the energy tank being hit.
“So this is the end. …… reality is not like a game.”
Kenya then takes out something he had been entrusted with from Isshin, which he had left on the storage floor.
It was black, heavy, and massive. Something that could easily take a person’s life with just a little force.
It was a pistol for self-harm.
With only one bullet, Kenya stares at the gun.
What he remembers is Kaguya’s crying face.
What he regrets is that he couldn’t make her smile.
If there is a next time, I want to make that tsundere princess smile by spoiling her.
I want to make her smile.
I want to date her and even do naughty things with her.
“Hahaha, so cute, isn’t she ……?”
With a dry laugh, I lose myself in my delusions.
I put the muzzle on my head and closed my eyes.
He puts his finger on the trigger and presses it.
“Sorry, Kaguya …… you’ll live.”
