Perhaps because I suddenly intruded on the battle, the white soldier who was about to be destroyed by the black soldier looked up at me with a startled expression.

Of course, even though it was shaped like a person, since it was a golem by nature, there was no change in expression.

But the fact that it didn’t get up right away and just stared at me blankly meant it was flustered.

I reached out my hand to that soldier…, but then thought of the weight of the golem and slipped it back in.

Instead, I shouted.

“Get up, soldier! How long are you going to sit there!”

– …! I’m sorry! I’ll get up!

The soldier, startled by my shout, jumped up from its spot.

But perhaps because it moved too hastily.

Thud.

The soldier’s arm, which was cracked all over and about to break, fell to the ground with a thud.

Still, since the other arm was intact, I picked up the spear that was rolling on the ground…, no, why is this so heavy!

Anyway, I managed to lift it up and handed it to the soldier.

“Don’t give up, soldier! Now that I’m here, victory is ours.”

– …Can we really win? Even though we’re being pushed back like this?

“Of course. So go and fight. Fight even if you’re destroyed gloriously! All of this is for the White Queen.”

– ……

The soldier trembled upon hearing my affirmation.

And soon, the soldier lifted up the spear and shouted.

– For our queen!!

Then it ran into the battlefield.

I nodded my head seeing that.

“Got one under my command.”

There was one hidden element in this medieval theme.

And that was making the white faction’s soldiers my subordinates.

The method was showing charisma like just now.

Of course, to use this hidden element, you first needed to participate in the battlefield.

Save the soldier, and that soldier’s morale must be broken.

When these three conditions were met, if I showed charisma the command of that soldier would transfer to me.

Literally meaning they would consider me their commander.

But…, as the soldier said, the current battlefield were overwhelmingly disadvantageous for the white faction.

However, that disadvantageous situation was rather a good situation for me.

Being pushed back meant the morale was broken.

If I made up for that disadvantage, if I overwhelmed the enemies in turn.

All the soldiers here would become my subordinates.

If that happens, saving people will become easier.

So…, shall I start the rescue activity in earnest?

I lifted up my rifle and looked around.

Fierce battles were taking place everywhere.

And whenever I spotted a soldier in crisis.

Bang, bang!

I fired single shots one by one, blowing away the enemy.

After that, I approached the soldier, urged them to get up and fight, and made them my subordinate.

– What are you doing!

– How dare you, an outsider, go against the Black Queen!

– Pay for the crime of siding with the white ones with your death!

Whenever the black soldiers and knights who had their chance to kill soldiers taken away because of me rushed at me.

Bang, kwang! Bang!

I put explosives inside their bodies with the Transfer skill.

For the ones that didn’t die because their cores weren’t destroyed, I poured bullets into them.

Like that, two, three, four…, the number of my subordinates gradually increased.

And when the shadow of defeat that had been cast over the white faction because of me somewhat disappeared.

A white knight approached me.

– Outsider, thank you for your help.

The knight tapped his chest with his right hand and bowed his head.

But perhaps because the damage to his body was too severe.

Plop.

The knight’s hand that had tapped his chest fell to the ground with a plop.

And going further, cracks started forming from his chest, and it crumbled down.

– ……

“……”

The knight, who suddenly exposed his inside, was too embarrassed to continue speaking.

I felt the same way.

Although it was hollow inside since it was a golem, suddenly seeing the inside of the chest made me lose words.

But that was only for a moment.

The knight spoke in a serious voice.

– Outsider, I thank you for your help, but I wish for you to leave this battlefield.

He advised me to leave the battlefield.

I also asked the knight in a serious manner.

“Why?”

– Thanks to you, we haven’t been defeated yet, but we will eventually lose.

The knight said that and pointed to his own wrecked body and the soldiers scattered around.

– This is our current state.

This time, he pointed to the enemies.

They also had many fallen individuals, but.

Since they were on the defensive side, there were still many enemies in good condition.

– That is the state of the enemies.

So, the knight added and pulled out the sword stuck in the ground.

– Leave this place. And if you find our fortress, please tell them. We were gloriously destroyed for the White Queen.

Soldiers gathered around the knight as he spoke.

They all looked miserable, broken here and there.

And judging by the solemn atmosphere, I knew they all had the same thought as the knight.

But, I’m sorry.

I have no intention of watching you all get destroyed.

“I can’t let that happen.”

– …What did you say?

“I said I can’t let that happen.”

You all have a lot of work to do.

Instead of me, you need to find people and bring them here.

So don’t think about getting destroyed on your own and stay put.

I’ll take care of everything.

But as if the knight had no intention of listening to me, he finally gave the order for the soldiers to charge.

“Everyone, halt.”

The command of the soldiers had already been transferred to my authority long ago.

– ……

The knight, seeing the soldiers following my order instead of his, stared at me blankly.

Then soon, the knight asked me.

– …You’re just one person, aren’t you? But how can you win against those numerous enemies?

Instead of answering the knight’s voice that sounded like he couldn’t believe it, I changed the magazine of the rifle.

And as I loaded it with a click, I walked towards the fortress where the enemies were.

Watch closely, White Knight.

How I’ll sweep them away.

I muttered that inwardly and gradually narrowed the distance with the black forces.

But the closer the distance got, I suddenly felt a strange feeling.

Although they were golems, their outer appearance was the same as humans, and they only carried swords and spears.

This felt exactly like… time leaping to the Middle Ages with a gun.

– You bastard! With what confidence are you coming out alone!

– You must be crazy, wanting to die!

– If you want to die that much, I’ll kill you myself!

Perhaps because I came out alone.

The black soldiers aimed their spears at me and charged.

But do these guys not have learning?

They must have seen with their own eyes many troops being destroyed by my gun and bombs.

And they narrowed the distance to me on their own?

‘Well, thank you.’

As soon as they entered the range of my Transfer skill, I laid mines in front of them.

Bang, kwang! Bang!

The bodies of the ones that stepped on the mines burst apart mercilessly.

Occasionally, I pulled the trigger of the gun to destroy the ones whose cores weren’t destroyed.

– Do you think I’ll fall with these guys!

A black knight zigzagged and charged forward.

Shock waves kept bursting from the ground, so it seemed he was trying to avoid the mines…

“You don’t like mines? Then I’ll give you this.”

I put a grenade inside the knight who was filtering out the mines using Transfer.

Kwaang!

The black knight shattered into pieces.

Unlike the soldiers who sometimes survived even after stepping on mines, the knight was completely smashed along with his core.

How long did I walk like that, and how much did I destroy?

– …It’s a calamity.

– A walking calamity!

– Everyone, retreat!

Before I knew it, I was being called a calamity by the enemies.

Well, in their eyes, just by walking, soldiers and knights exploded and burst.

It made sense for me to look like a calamity.

But…, wasn’t it a bit much for everyone to retreat because of me alone?

I let out a hollow laugh at the sight of all the black forces running into the fortress.

But I wanted to tell them.

That was the wrong choice.

“Do they think I can’t do anything if they go inside the fortress?”

I grinned and turned around.

And I shouted to the knight and soldiers who were looking at me with stiff expressions.

“All troops, assemble!”

As if waiting for my assembly signal, the knight and soldiers who were frozen like stone statues came running.

– Outsider…, no, hero! That was really… really amazing!

What, I got promoted from outsider to hero?

Another snicker escaped me at the upgraded title.

Despite my reaction, the knight looked at me with eyes that would have been sparkling if he were human, and kept exclaiming in admiration.

But since it wasn’t the time for me to listen to that, I raised my hand to stop the knight.

“Save the admiration for later, and go put these in front of the gate.”

Saying that, I took out ten boxes containing grenades and mines from my inventory and placed them on the ground.

Then the soldiers whose arms were still intact picked up the boxes and ran to the gate.

But what are the ones inside the fortress doing?

They were just watching what we were doing from the top of the walls, not taking any action.

‘Stupid bastards, if it were me, I would have at least thrown a spear.’

The ten boxes of explosives the soldiers were putting down at the gate right now.

That much quantity was enough to smash the gate and still have leftovers.

And even if it didn’t break, there were still countless supplies in my inventory.

So even if it didn’t break, there was nothing to be impatient about.

We can just put more.

– What is that?

The knight curiously asked about the boxes of explosives the soldiers had put down.

To the knight, I took out a grenade launcher from my inventory and said.

“The key to the gate.”

– The key to the gate? That thing?

The knight asked back in a voice that didn’t understand.

But I didn’t answer.

I just showed it through action.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Rumble rumble…!

“See, the key to the gate.”

– ……

At my words, the knight was at a loss for words.
