Chapter 279.

Up until a day before we were to arrive in Dresden, I had to meet with the general and heads of each unit dozens of times to talk about tactics.

"What is this strange-looking thing?" Lieutenant General Fabian, the commander of the 3rd Army, asked while touching the item I gave him.

"It's a wireless magic communicator that I made. The range is a radius of 10 kilometers centered around me, so we can communicate anywhere within that area."

"This finger-sized thing can do something like that from such a long distance?"

The wireless magic communicator that I created acted akin to a radio tower and significantly increased the range of telecommunication. However, its weakness was that if someone were further than 10 kilometers from me, our messages wouldnt reach each other. Yet, this problem was solved by attaching a repeater to other peoples communicators.

"Yes, the magic communicators distributed to the regimental commanders serve as radio repeaters, and so, theoretically, the maximum range of the radio is across both ends of the border. However, even with the repeaters, I think the maximum distance is 100 kilometers due to the deterioration of the sound signal."

Extending this distance might be possible if I made a radio amplifier in the middle, but there was no time to make that.

"Huh, even William-nim couldn't build a communicator like this. Does it really work?"

When Lieutenant General Orleon, the commander of the 14th Army, expressed his doubts, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Isaac expressed my thoughts for me. "It was brief, but we did a real test. I only went 50km away because I didn't have time, but the sound quality was clear enough to understand, and we were able to communicate.

As this was on an entirely different level from the current innovations, the highly advanced technology made everyone feel like they were entering a new world.

"That's that's impressive, both the performance of the invention and the creators abilities."

I responded humbly to the 14 army commanders compliment, "In General Williams case, he is an elemental magician, and producing magic tools is not his specialty."

Of course, my specialty was not making magic tools either.

Everyone said, oh, I see and moved on, but the commander of the magic corps gazed at the magic communicator as if he were observing a godly object. He appeared as if he wanted to study it after the war ended, but it was a futile dream since I was going to destroy them all remotely after the war was over.

"If it's this small, we wont need to have to have a separate signalman to manage it.

I shook my head. "No, I didn't have a lot of time to make it, so the inner structure isn't that sturdy. You should use the current, more durable communicator for normal situations. My invention was originally made for disposable use strictly during this war."

"Hmm, is that so?"

Everyone smacked their lips with disappointed faces. I smiled and taught them how to operate the magic communicator. "Hmm, it's not difficult. In fact, I like it because it's simple."

Simplicity in its functions was essential because it was designed for older people like generals and individuals at the regiment commander level or higher.

As we were finishing our preparations, an announcement was broadcasted on the train through the speakers.

- Addressing all soldiers on the train, this train will soon enter the North Dresden station, its destination. All soldiers, please prepare to get off the train. I will repeat once more. All soldiers, please prepare to get off the train.

"It seems weve arrived. Everyone, once we stop, lead your soldiers to the south gate. We will head right to the frontlines."

"Yes!" At Uncle Bloody's order, the commanders of each unit saluted and left the conference area to head to their respective units.

When all the commanders left, Uncle Bloody stared at me with worried eyes and asked, "But is it really possible to send orders to all the troops immediately? No matter how fast the communication is, I don't think thatll be easy."

I smiled lightly at my uncle's concern. "You don't have to worry. A quiet morning is good for strategic tactics."

In fact, I initially wanted to control the army at the company level, not as regiment units, but I didn't have enough time to create the communication devices. The communicator was not the only thing I had to prepare, so I couldn't help it.

"And they're all war veterans. So, if I can't cover a certain situation, I'm sure they'll take care of it on their own.

Obviously, I was going to "make" it so that there wouldn't be a situation that I couldnt cover.

"Huhuhu."

Uncle Bloody heard my laughter, and he gave me a creeped-out expression. As expected, the air conditioning must be too high.
