Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

General Killock looked at the enemy that was in front of them with a grim look on his face.

With the order of the fourth prince, he had been sent to this battlefield to support the army that was already here.

However, the situation of the battlefield didn't change much even if they had arrived.

Before this, they had been outnumbered three to one.

Now that his army was here, that had only changed to being outnumbered two to one.

It wasn't as if they would be able to do much being outnumbered two to one like this.

General Killock couldn't help suddenly missing Count Zwein.

If it was Count Zwein, then this wouldn't be a problem since he had all those different surprises that he had given them. No one expected the things that he did, but he definitely did things that no one else could.

If Count Zwein was here, then this would be a completely different situation.

The problem was…he wasn't here.

So General Killock could only work with the army that had been deployed here to hold back the enemy.

The problem was…

The current general of this army was not someone that he respected.

This was someone who was under the first prince and was someone who only cared about his own position, so he wasn't someone who was skilled enough to be a general. He had only obtained his position because of his political skills and his identity as a noble.

This was the complete opposite of General Killock who had become a general with his own skills and had worked hard to achieve his current position.

Still, he had to work with this general right now.

"General Gardner, please rethink this." General Killock said in this meeting of top officers.

General Gardner looked like the complete opposite of a general as he sat there laid back in his chair. He almost seemed like he was just here to listen in on the meeting because he was bored, rather than being the head commander of this army.

After he heard this, General Gardner just raised his hand and casually waved it before saying, "There's no need to do such a thing."

General Killock deeply knitted his brows and revealed a very displeased look when he heard this.

What he had just suggested was to send out scouts to infiltrate the enemy camp and see if they could obtain any information.

For any general, this was something that couldn't be more basic, but…this General Gardner had completely ignored this. He had kept all of his troops in this makeshift fortress that they had made and had only sent out the bare minimum to watch over the enemy camp.

General Killock wouldn't give up as he said, "If we remain passive like this, there's no knowing what the enemy will do. When the time comes, we won't be the only one that suffers, all of the people of our country will also suffer."

General Gardner just gave a shrug and said, "General Killock, do you know what our mission is here? We are here to defend the border so that the enemies don't flood into our country and right now, we are doing that perfectly. If we were to send out scouts and they were caught, wouldn't that just incite the enemy to attack us? The system that I have in place is working and they have no way of breaking into our fortress right now. Why would we poke at the enemy when they aren't doing anything?"

General Killock deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

This General Gardner only cared about one thing, keeping his position.

He didn't care about the people or what the enemies were doing.

While he had been maintaining his position, the enemies had been sending raiding parties to attack the villages in the surrounding area.

He had gone out several times with his men since he was still in charge of them, but it was clear that the enemies were getting more active.

It was clear that they were planning something.

However, General Gardner didn't do a single thing to stop them.

Before General Killock could say anything, there was a soldier that suddenly ran in and said, "The enemies are attacking!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone headed out of the tent and went to the walls of the makeshift fortress.

Even General Gardner came out with them to observe the enemies from the walls.

But the moment that he saw how they were positioned, he revealed a faint smile and said to General Killock beside him, "Do you see? They don't know how to break through this fortress, so they are getting desperate. It's clear that there's nothing for us to worry about."

General Killock knitted his brows as he looked at the enemies lined up in front of the makeshift fortress.

That was because they were taking a formation that didn't seem like a normal formation.

They were in a formation that seemed like they had already won, so they were preparing to march into this makeshift fortress. The most suspicious part was how the cavalry were placed in the center, as if they were prepared to charge the gates at any moment.

His instincts that had been developed over his long career as a general was telling him that there was something deeply wrong here. He couldn't put his finger on what it was, but he knew that this wasn't as simple as it seemed.

"Fire the arrows and show them what we have!" General Gardner suddenly gave this order.

The soldiers under him were just like him, so they assumed the same thing when they saw the enemies like this.

They thought that all of them were easy targets for them to shoot.

This caused fewer soldiers to be placed at the gate…

It was then that the gate suddenly started to open.

"What's happening?" General Gardner shouted at the soldiers at the gates, but they didn't respond at all.
