25.THE REASON BEHIND THE UNDEFEATABILITY

“Ah, Willian-san. Come over here.”

Frank signaled with his hand for Willian, who had been following after him, to come.

“Right on the mark”

Just like Willian had planned, they had reached at the rear of the enemy. The enemy was ten men strong and were spread out in a square formation. There were pretty much no numeric differences, and for their attack, it was the ideal circ.u.mstances.

“……”

If this was the normal situation, they would have attacked them without hesitations. However, Willian was being silent.

“”…The enemy is probably a centurion. His armor is different from the others.””

At the center of the enemy formation, there was a man that was using a different armor. Willian narrowed his eyes.

“”My mind says that I can win. However…””

The place ahead Willian was looking at. Ahead was the figure of a man filled with confidence that waited for his enemy. By looking at the slight coldness being emitted by him…

“…We are pulling back.”

….he decided to pull back. Although Willian had been putting everything in order for this favorable situation, he had given the order of retreat. This was something Willian would argue against if he didn´t care about Karl´s ten-man squad. However…

“Uーsu, then, is it fine for me to be in the front next time?”(TL note: Uーsu= yes)

Ignahts immediately accepted and recognized the order. The other people didn´t show any surprises in particular. When Willian says to pull back, it was because they were pulling back. This was the ironclad rule.

“Yes, we are going to wait for another opportunity at our next location. I will once again be at the rear.”

The reason why Karl´s ten-man squad was undefeatable; Willian abandoning fights. Because of his insights, he had consistency in when to attack and retreat. He would take won battles with carefulness so he would not lose for nothing, and he would pull back from battles he couldn´t win.

“Then, everyone, let´s go.”

With Karl´s orders, they started to retreat and moving to another location. Their well-organized and without hesitations movement was so orderly to the point of it being scary. They had no hesitation in retreating; having soldiers not l.u.s.ting over battles was actually something unexpectedly difficult. It was difficult for one to get his intentions across over a whole squad.

“Alright, let´s go fast, but silently.”

“Captain, if you keep talking, Willian-san will get angry.”

“Mugu!?”(むぐっ！？)

It was difficult, but with Willian´s military experience and Karl´s personality, they were able to get their commands accepted. Because of the persuasive power of Willian´s experience and achievements and Karl´s likeable character, they were accepted without any objections. The atmosphere of their squad was considerably good. Their fighting power was also increasing.

“”It is fine like that for now. This is the best possible.””

Willian was doing his best. Him being thorough with everything was him doing his best.

“….”

But even so, the person himself…
