novel" Hero"
| ← Ch.71 | Ch.73 → |
A gorgeous venue.
A man in gorgeous clothes stands in the center.
The "hero" kneels in front of a man with gorgeous clothes.
At the same time as the "hero" kneels, many magical tools record him with a dazzling glow.
And the commander, dressed in gorgeous clothes, proclaimed loudly to the gathered people.
"Now! We can live in peace like this! Thanks to the young man here!
That's it!!! He is the one! It is a hero who saved the homeland from crisis!
Against the overwhelming enemy army, he confronted them with courage! He is guardian deity who caused a miracle and protected the country!!!
He is the one! He is a mirror of military personnel! He is a man who should be a model for the people!!!
I, in honor of his heroic deeds, decided to give him a medal here!!!"
When the commander declares high, he hangs a heavy, rugged, and decorated medal around the young man's neck.
This gorgeous venue is the venue for the medal award ceremony.
Originally, the awarding of medals is a special ceremony that is held only once a year, but this awarding ceremony is held out of time as a special case.
It was a ceremony to award a medal to only one hero.
The hero performed a miracle, leading only 10 homunculus soldiers to stop an enemy division.
It occurred a few weeks before this ceremony took place.
The enemy army had cowardly launched a surprise attack at midnight.
The front collapsed, caught completely off guard, and the tattered friendly forces had no choice but to flee desperately.
However, the enemy didn't loosen their pursuit, continuing to move forward, turning the battle into a slaughter.
There was no stopping the enemy anymore, and if nothing was done, it was possible for the supply station and even the headquarters in the rear to fall.
If that happened, all battlefronts would have become threatened; in the worst-case scenario, we had to consider surrendering to the enemy.
At that time, a "hero" appeared.
He led 10 officially issued homunculus soldiers against a division of one enemy.
It was a reckless act, but he fought.
He fought with all his might for his homeland and for the peace of the people.
And he brought a miracle.
He and the ten homunculus soldiers fought exactly one thousand battles, giving the friendly army time to escape.
No, that wasn't the only thing.
They managed to disrupt the enemy's chain of command, completely confusing the enemy.
At the sight of the "hero" and his homunculi's reckless abandon, the enemy army lost their cool and panicked, breaking rank and form.
The friendly army rushed to the enemy army, which had turned into a mere mob.
*(Note: Technically it was "such a crowd that could be easily besieged" rather than "mere mob.")
By the time the friendly forces completed the siege, the enemy's chain of command had completely collapsed, and they had become completely immobilized.
The friendly army surrounded the enemy, practically turning the event into mere shooting training for themselves.
