Army Angel: The Dark Side

The Archilles Past and Hope for the Future part 2

Hey-hey! I'm impressed you can understand what I think, but there's one mistake you've made!"

The Archiles' face was now wondering what my max was.

"...You FOOL!!"

"..."

" Didn't I tell you to be strong?! You think that strong is just from the physical, huh? You are really stupid!!..Max, if you lose physically, then use this!"

I pointed at his head.

" Think!! From what I see, you are unlike any other Orc who relies solely on his strength.

So think about how to beat it!

If you can't defeat him alone then find an ally! If you can't beat him blatantly then ambush him!

If you only contemplate your weaknesses without preparing any plan to deal with them, then the result is only one... There aren't. In other words, you're just quiet in place."

Archiles was just pensive to hear everything I said.

" Everyone has a different way of fighting. But there is one thing that makes them the same.

You know what that is? A desire to gain victory from the fight they did. You understand what I mean?"

" Does my Master have to use my own way to fight?

Moreover I have to think how to defeat my enemies with strategy rather than using physical strength. Is that so, sir? "

" Exactly!! More or less you know what I mean."

"I? Hm. More or less like this, first I'll read the situation. Then look for the weakness of the enemy while looking for the best alternative, whether we are willing to fight him or we should be forced to retreat. Think of at least 2 plans to attack or retreat and look for the ones with the least impact on us. Less is more like that."

Whether he understood or not, but so far he seemed to be nodding his head, so it could be concluded that he did understand.

" I think I got too carried away?"

"No-no. Instead, I thank you, sir, for sharing your knowledge with me who is this stupid."

"Hei-hei. You are a fool for now, but by studying constantly you will also be smart by yourself,.. Let's continue your story! Where were we? if not wrong until detention?"

I also told him to continue telling stories.

"... It was while I was in charge of guarding the prisoners that I began to learn to read Sir. I can make friends with some human captives there..."

Unlike the other Orcs who had a savage and violent nature, Archiles did not treat the prisoners he guarded arbitrarily.

Not infrequently he also shared a small ration of food with human prisoners who were kidnapped by the Orcs. This is where Archilles began to draw hearts from the humans.

As a child, Archilles had an interest in reading. An interest that even Archilles himself did not know why.

Archilles was intrigued by the letters on paper that had been accidentally confiscated by his father. But here's the problem. He's interested in something, but doesn't know what it is.

Once he asked his family but they were equally ignorant and more determinedly indifferent to him.

Tired of his family's answer, he finally decided to ask human prisoners. Armed with her food rations that she gave to prisoners in return, she was eventually told what book she was interested in.

The activity of asking and giving food as wages continued Archilles do several times until the activity began to turn into a reading learning activity. Of course he did this in secret.

From time to time there began to be trust between the prisoner's man and Archilles.
