Became a Strategist With an Intelligence of 100 and an Accuracy Rate of 100%

23 – Episode 23. If you trust me (2)

“Of course, as you said, it is definitely a dangerous method.”

If a good opportunity comes, you have no choice but to take advantage of it.

That was my method of survival that I could only predict.

“But it’s okay. There’s a very good chance I won’t die.”

Even if the future in which one does not die is 100% determined, the word ‘possibility’ was mentioned without making it obvious.

I have no intention of betraying you, and that will resonate more with Kane.

“What Rin is after is me, the person I am. He will probably let me live. But without me, Rin, unable to get what he wants, will use his overwhelming force to hunt us down and search us. He won’t be able to hold out for long. “Moreover, if Runarien is caught by Lin, he will definitely die. Lin has a habit of not forgiving those who competed with him for the world, no matter how small the monarch.”

I looked into Kane’s eyes and said.

I felt the momentum pass over me.

“As Kane said, raising a new army is very difficult. It may take years. However, when you die, it’s over. Everything is over. But if you’re alive, you can do anything. It takes time. Even so, if the breath can continue. As long as Luna, the spirit of our military, is alive, we can do anything. At this moment, when the Lunarien military is in danger of extinction, in order to continue without extinguishing the light, it is now necessary. It’s time to run away.”

“…….”

Kane sighed briefly after hearing what I said. She

She said with a slight smile.

“You are really risking your life.”

Well, since you are risking your life on a brain with 100 intelligence, it is a safe asset.

“I understand. I will trust you.”

“You won’t regret it.”

A way to save Kane, Tifa, and the two mercenary groups along with Lunarien.

Standing alone in the castle where everyone else has left, surrendering to Lin Brans.

This would definitely be the best.

I turned my head and looked at the leaders.

“Gustav and Aaron, please take your mercenary group and leave the central region for a while. When the Lunarien army reappears, you can join us.”

“…I understand.”

“Well, it’s not difficult…”

“And, as I just said, we will assign half of each Lunarian army’s troops to the mercenary group’s troops. You can take them all.”

After hearing that, the two leaders looked surprised.

“Swen… Are you really serious about what you said?”

“Yes.”

“…….”

Gustav nodded his head slowly and opened his mouth.

“We are a mercenary group. We work on behalf of other countries without belonging to any country. And unless the Lunarien army to which we have pledged allegiance exists on the continent, we will use its troops to attack other countries. You can also do things for.”

“It’s okay. The Lunarien army will reappear on the scene of history. You can help us then.”

“…That’s incredible confidence. Swen is such an amazing person.”

After hearing Gustav’s words, Aaron nodded and said.

“Okay, I’ll leave here for a moment. All soldiers will be treated the same as existing mercenaries.”

“That’s something to be thankful for.”

I said while looking at Tifa and Kane.

“Tifa, please help Gustav in attaching soldiers to the Raven mercenaries, and Kane, please help Aaron in attaching soldiers to the Chilean mercenaries. Enemy troops will attack soon, so move as quickly as possible. .”

“I understand.”

“…Ah, is this the only way?”

Just like that, the remaining four people left.

I also gave instructions to Luna, who was left alone in the castle.

“Master. All you need to do is gather as many troops as possible and prepare for escape without interfering with the escape. Take Tifa and Kane with you and plan for the future. If you do so, a new opportunity will come to our army. It will be.”

“……….”

Luna was lowering her head without giving any answer.

“Master?”

After calling her one more time, calling her-

She spoke with a pitiful expression, like glass that would shatter if touched.

“…Swen.”

“Please speak.”

“Do you have to risk your life? Can’t you come with us?”

“…….”

If going together was the right decision, I would have gone.

However, the brain of ‘Intelligence 100’ was determined to leave Lunarien County.

For the sake of the future, I should not be with them at this moment.

“That’s right. The goal of Lin Brans’ army… Is not the destruction of Zeeland Castle or the Runarien army. It’s me.”

“Why…?”

“As I said, it looks like he wants to recruit me as a subordinate to Brans.”

After hearing what I said, Luna barely managed to squeeze it out in a trembling voice.

“But… I, I.”

Luna slowly raised her trembling hand and held onto the sleeve of my dress.

Only then did I realize it. That she was crying.

“I… Can’t leave Swen behind. I can’t push Swen into the abyss of danger and run away alone.”

“It is not dangerous. I will definitely survive. And I will definitely return to my master.”

“But, but… I, but, even so, I can’t make Swen a scapegoat for the sake of the future…!”

At that time.

Maybe I was in tears.

Have you developed feelings for this woman during your time together?

I placed my hand firmly on her shoulder as she held on to the hem of my dress.

The sound of “Chak” Filled the empty palace.

And then, I shout at her.

“Lunarien Inian!!!”

“……!!!”

She looks at my face in surprise.

Ruby-colored eyes were shaking like a puppy that had lost its owner.

“…Didn’t you say that you would bring peace to the world? Didn’t you say that the day you recommended me that you would unify the continent yourself, not someone else?”

“That…Thing.”

“I remember you saying you had infinite trust in me. Was that really a lie?”

“…Oh, no. I just…”

I spoke to her with all my sincerity.

“I don’t mean to be a scapegoat. As your subject, I just chose the best move. I will definitely survive. And we will definitely meet again.”

And then, slowly looking into her eyes…….

He spoke of a promise that was bound to come true someday.

“Lunarien. If you trust me, I will put the world in your hands in return.”

“!!!”

I could see her pupils contracting in surprise.

This is not a lie.

With this decision, the unification of her continent will be accelerated.

“So… For the sake of the future, please run away now. I will take care of Brans-kun.”

“…Black.”

Drop, drop.

Tears began to flow from her eyes again.

And then…… It was brought to me without a word.

I naturally hugged her.

To help her stop crying and regain her composure, she consoled and comforted her as best as she could.

“It’s okay, Luna. Please trust me. I will definitely come back to see you again.”

“…Okay.”

After she slowly got away from me-

She wiped her tears, looked at me and opened her mouth trembling.

“…You must, absolutely, come back.”

“I promise. I will definitely return to your side.”

This wasn’t a lie either.

In any case, since the monarch who would unify the continent was Luna Lien, the right answer was to be by her side.

“…Then.”

I shouted again at Luna who turned around and ran away.

“Master! Stay healthy! And, if the opportunity comes, don’t miss it! I will definitely return to your side!”

She paused for a moment, turned around and looked at my face for a moment –

Soon she turned her head again and quickly left the royal castle.

‘… ….’

If you think about it-

Luna was probably the only monarch who would trust me just by saying, ‘Please trust me.’

She didn’t listen to any further explanation, she just listened to one word…….

Now that thought occurred to me.

She said, ‘If I’m wrong, cut off my head,’ but if you say you don’t know if your head is worth it, it’s over.

No matter how small a country it is and no matter how talented it is…… In the end, trust was a matter that could only be decided by the monarch.

In fact, the reason I was able to push forward my opinion without hesitation was because she, as her monarch, trusted me unconditionally.

The unconditional advice of a person with 100 intelligence was meaningless if the monarch did not listen to it.

When I came to my senses thinking that, there were tears forming in the corners of my eyes.

I roughly wiped it off with my sleeve.

‘This is not the time to be here whining and being emotional.’

I had work to do.

I set out to complete my final mission as a strategist for the Lunarien army.

* * *

Luna ran out of the royal castle and quickly ran to the barracks where her soldiers were gathered.

Even as she ran, she…… She continued to shed tears.

‘Swen…… ‘Mr. Swen.’

Swen was speaking with confidence. That Lin Brans would save his life.

But- Luna heard those words.

These words came from a sincere conversation with Kane.

They say there is a ‘high possibility’ of survival.

This was the first time that he, who always asserted his opinion with certainty, uttered the ambiguous word ‘high possibility’.

High probability does not mean 100%. Very low probability – it means that there is a situation where you will eventually die.

So, Swen is now……

Isn’t it the same as sacrificing yourself for the Lunarien army in a situation where you might die?

‘I’m sorry. Mr. Swen. I am…… Because I am a powerless monarch. Because he is such an ugly leader that he can’t do anything in this situation…….’

He was the only person who came to this weak country for the first time, where no one came no matter how many times he wandered the continent and offered to recruit him.

Luna herself, far from being opposed to using the gold that suddenly appeared for the people of the territory to help them, supported her cause, and she understood that she did not have to conscript as efficiently as possible out of consideration for the people of the territory.

If only I had been a little more strict-minded as a leader there.

If you invested all of your gold in city development and conscripted as much as possible to build more soldiers.

Then wouldn’t it have been okay not to sacrifice Swen?

Of course, even if she was like that, she knew very well that nothing would change.

The enemy is a large army of over 80,000 strong.

From the point of view of a weak country, it had no choice but to move towards destruction from the moment it caught Lin’s eye.

‘…… Swen… ….’

After mumbling Swen’s name over and over again, she realized.

Here and now, she regrets not being harsh in the past, and that nothing will be solved if she keeps mumbling apologies that he won’t even hear.

If you really thought about him sacrificing everything for our military – I had to completely believe his words that this was the best situation for us right now.

Swen said.

If you believe in me, I will let you hold the world in my hands.

And he also said this. Don’t miss the opportunity. If I do that, I will definitely survive and come back to you.

‘…… I will believe it. I believe in Swen, and I will survive somehow. Even if it is a somewhat heartless decision, I will never miss out on an opportunity when it comes. Everything that happened today and everything you said to me…… I will live my life without forgetting a single word. ‘Mr. Swen.’

Luna thought.

If he has the qualifications to unify this continent in human form, it must be a man named Swen.

‘So, definitely, definitely…… I’ll definitely see you again, Swen. If you can’t come, I will do whatever it takes to find you…… Please… ….’

Lunarien A corner of the heart of a leader named Inien – a woman named Luna.

There was one piece that could never be removed, firmly embedded in the deepest part of her.
