I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 188
Subjugation (2)
[Jurius, 35th day of training.]

[Human flight, its great history]
“Hoo… … .”
Julius was lying on the floor reading a book. If Mareus or other civil servants saw it, they would have been stunned, but since there was not even a chair in this white image space, it was a natural attitude.
'I don't think we'll have to fight hard if we only have one fighter, this F-2X?'
He reads the book with an interesting expression, then shakes his head.
'Although I can't make anything.'
Now he knew that much common sense. But there are plenty of things to draw inspiration from.
'Wouldn't it be useful if there was a way to fly in the sky, even if it wasn't an airplane?'
When he thought that far, he heard a familiar sound.
[Have you read enough? It is training time.]
A yellow dragon jumps in a pure white space! appeared. At the same time, the white surrounding landscape changes.
Pod!
Before he knew it, Julius was standing in an inorganic gray room.
“Is it that time already?”
Acquiring knowledge seems like a free space at first glance, but his schedule was secretly tight.
[Day 0 of training]
.
.
.
.
[Kuhm! Then shall we begin?]
Huanglong sighed and snorted.
[This is your timetable. If you want to acquire knowledge in the shortest time, there is no time to rest, so be prepared.]
"schedule?"
Pod!
Something appeared before his eyes.
[06:00~06:30: wake up, review]
[06:30~10:00: Watch educational materials, read]
[10:00~12:00: Written test, rest as soon as it ends]
The morning was mainly focused on acquiring knowledge.
.
.
.
[13:00~20:00: Training]
And the afternoon, like now, was training for combat.
[Let's start.]
[Start the simulator.]
Pod!
On the other side of Julius, three gray dolls appeared. Destroying all of these is today's practice.
Fain!
He leaps out and swings his sword with terrifying speed, but the puppets are surprisingly quick.
Whiing!
Julius's sword cut through the air in vain. But, already used to it, he raises one hand and points at his doll.
Dismissed!
Sparks flew and a bolt of lightning hit the dodged doll.
[…] … .]
The remaining two dolls quickly tried to back away, but... … .
Phew!
Kwajik!
The sword thrown by Julius was one timing faster. It pierced through both dolls at the same time.
[Clear stage 30]
[Go to the next step.]
"after… … .”
[late. I can't make it in time like this!]
Huanglong roared like thunder. He doesn't seem to like his results very much. What Julius was doing now was training the players in combat.
[You are still slow to react, so you have to work twice as hard as others.]
“Reaction speed?”
According to Huanglong, the combat power of the virtual world depends on the reaction speed. How many things can be done in a short amount of time determines victory or defeat.
"ah!"
He thought for a moment and then nodded. It reminded me of the battle with the great emperor. He used various secret techniques to push Julius.
[This is the so-called physical. In fact, if your aptitude is high, you won't need these things.]
It was said that the player's aptitude was greatly involved in this reaction speed. So, Julius had no choice but to make up for it with practice.
"hmm? by the way."
Here he expressed his doubts.
“What does this have to do with my next move? There must be no other players in this world, right?”
[It is related to 'Clear'.]
“Grunt… … .”
Julius made an impression. In fact, his fundamental question still remains unanswered.
'Why did I return to the past?'
'Why does the system or the yellow dragon make me do this?'
Of course, he had no choice but to do the quest. Even if I stay still, groups like the Demonic Cult and the Cult will start quarreling with me. Looking closely, it seemed that his death in his previous life had something to do with them.
'I can't just sit back and take it. Just looking at what they're doing there, they're suspicious.'
And Julius's personal interest also played a part. It would be a lie if I said that this did not generate interest in the players.
In addition, Huanglong also gave a brief explanation.
[The secret will be unlocked as you get closer to the clear. And achieving that would be good for you too, not a bad thing.]
Julius briefly repeated the keyword.
'Player, aptitude, and clear?'
* * *
“… … .”
Eventually, Julius finished his flashback.
“A great deal?”
"phew… I'm glad you're safe for now.”
“It was really scary when I fell.”
The people on the balloon expressed their gratitude to him with the expression that they had endured for ten years. Julius also stops his wandering thoughts and gives instructions.
“I’ll go down at once. It seems like bombing would be impossible.”
Shuuk.
After descending to the ground, they decided to camp in front of the Heavenly Demon Hall. It was unfortunate that it could not be easily captured by bombardment, but this place was not so tough or the walls were not high.
"It's unfortunate, but I think we'll have to go head-on here."
“I agree with that idea. Let's rest today, prepare the battle lines tomorrow, and launch an all-out offensive.”
In fact, the power gathered here was not normal. There's also Julius, so dropping one of the gates shouldn't be too difficult.
* * *
"Military! It seems that the dogs of Jeong Do-blind are stepping back.”
“I installed it trusting only the bizarre flying tools, and it looks good.”
"hmm!"
Upon receiving the report, Sae-Han groans in satisfaction and is overcome with awe for the leader.
'It seems like you saw through the war situation. Even I, the most intelligent of the Demonic Cult, couldn't think of such a method.'
Sayeohan wanted to open one of the remaining silk pouches right away, but held back.
"What should I do? Wouldn’t it be possible to show bitterness to the rightists now?”
In the meantime, the subordinates next to him asked for a counterattack order, as if their bodies were itching.
"It's not like that."
“… … !?”
He shook his head and explained.
“Why do we make an unnecessary charge when we have the advantage of a castle? They have no choice but to come this way anyway.”
“But just defending like this… … .”
"of course! The best defense is offense. It's not something I don't know.”
“… … !?”
Saihan's eyes flashed. The leader's plan was indeed surprising, but shouldn't he also pay the price for the brainchild? A plan was already in his head to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
“They will have to work hard one more time.”
Suddenly, a sly smile formed on his lips.
* * *
and the next morning.
“Big deal! Military! It's urgent!”
“What!”
The leaders of the Chuck Madan were surprised to hear the urgent report. They came out of the tent, observed the Heavenly Demon Hall, and groaned.
“Huh… … .”
“How did you do that?”
Julius also heard the report and came out and tilted his head.
"huh?"
Before I knew it, a huge structure that I hadn't seen in the Heavenly Demon Hall was built. All the leaders who confirmed this had no choice but to open their mouths.
"Saturn?"
“Isn’t it twice as high as yesterday? What is that scale there?”
It was a gigantic structure that seemed to have doubled yesterday's Saturn. It's an unbelievable size.
“It’s almost like a small garden, isn’t it?”
Julius also muttered with a puzzled expression. No matter how many experts there are, that Saturn was nearly a hundred meters high.
'Can you build a structure like that with manpower overnight? Even with dirt?'
Even the hill made of earth had three peaks, and the masters were placed by connecting them with a bridge.
“… … .”
“Oops!”
Jegal Nebula groaned loudly among the speechless leaders. He noticed the demonic cult's intentions.
“Why?”
“We need to get behind the formation right now.”
“… … !?”
Before he could finish his words, the Demonic Cult's offensive began.
Phew!
Shuwook!
Chae Chaeng!
"It's an attack by the Demonic Cult!"
The masters of the Chuck Madan were frightened and began to shoot arrows and memorized words with their respective weapons.
“Retreat!”
Zhuge Nebula hurriedly forced the masters to retreat. The height of that garden was no decoration. If you attack from above, it is difficult for even the most advanced players to approach.
“I can’t imagine using a method like that… … .”
He bit his lip and blamed himself for his complacency. If he had known that his opponent had that ability, he would have launched an all-out attack yesterday, even if he pushed himself a little.
And it wasn't just arrows that were pouring down.
“Bring the rocks! I'll show you the hot taste to the rightists!”
“Waaaaaa!”
The masters of the Demonic Cult joined forces to bring a large, round rock to the top of the garden.
"this! Back down even more!”
Observing the scene from a distance, Julius drew his sword and shouted. However, before the masters can be defeated, the Demonic Cult's offensive begins.
“Start!”
“Roll it! Wipe them all out!”
Kurung!
Starting with Sayeohan's sharp command, the rocks were pushed downward all at once on Saturn.
The rock brought by the masters of the Demonic Cult easily exceeded the height of a person in diameter. It is machined round to make it easy to roll there. Finally, the height of the garden is almost a hundred meters!
Kurrureung!
Dozens of round rocks began to roll down from the top of the garden. The boulders with terrifying acceleration rushed at the masters of the Cheokmadan along the path of the garden that led under the fortress wall.
“Stop it!”
damn
Julius hastily erected a wall of ice to block the path of the rock. He simultaneously swings his sword and shatters rocks at random.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
However, it was not possible to block dozens of rocks from rolling at the same time.
bang!
“Ouch!”
"evil!"
“Retreat!”
The other masters also tried to block the rocks, but it was no use. Dozens of people in the lead suffered serious injuries when they were crushed or thrown over rocks.
In addition, there is a situation where countless arrows and memorizations are pouring down from the sky. The tide has completely reversed!
“More back! The damage must be repaired first!”
bang!
Some of the masters, including Julius, blocked the rocks, and the other leaders also ordered a retreat, so the Cheokmardan was able to regroup after a long time back.
“Okay… … .”
“You got it perfectly.”
“It’s a planer.”
The shock of defeat was great because we had won so easily.
“… … .”
Then, in the silence of the leaders, a determined voice is heard.
"It's good to blame yourself, but shouldn't we think about how to attack that area?"
Jegal Sung-woon, a military man, brought up the topic first. Of course, others don't know that either.
"hmm… … .”
“The sky is also blocked, wouldn’t it be difficult to penetrate that garden?”
The reason they couldn't speak easily was because they knew that since the garden was built, they couldn't penetrate the Heavenly Demon's Pavilion by any means.
“… … .”
Julius, seated in the center, was lost in thought for a moment. From his point of view, the defensive power of that garden does not make sense from common sense.
'Even if it's the wind, where did you build the garden or where did you get that rock?'
It was impossible to build such a Saturn in one night and prepare dozens or hundreds of rocks. If such a thing were possible, the concept of siege warfare would not have existed.
No, according to Julius' knowledge, it was theoretically possible.
'Did you bring any heavy equipment from the Demonic Cult? But could such a thing be possible... … .'
"uh?"
Thinking that far, Julius suddenly had something on his mind.
'Come to think of it, I made a hot air balloon too?'
In fact, it was difficult to reproduce such a thing with the technology of this world. But isn't he also implemented somehow by using expedients?
Clearly, what the Demonic Cult used this time was a large amount of soil and rocks.
"aha!"
Only then did Julius realize what had happened.
'It was a simple matter.'
And when you find out the reason, you can roughly guess the opponent's next strategy. He quickly called out the Zhuge Nebula separately.
“… If the other person had this ability, what would he do next?”
“Amazing… … . It's not just an ability, it's an enemy, but it's a really ingenious idea.”
He too was shocked and pondered.
“… … .”
The answer came soon.
"no way… … .”
"okay."
Julius gave the answer with a grin.
“I think we should take this opportunity to catch the mole first.”
