Chapter 62 – Episode 62 ― Whose Side Are You on (2)
Episode 62 ― Whose side are you on (2)
After saying see you at the New Year’s Festival, Roan’s video disappeared. The barracks were silent for a long time.
The first to speak was Grand Duke Jeokru.
– Really…
His low, trembling voice was wet with emotion.
— Your Majesty.
The Archduke seemed relieved and moved.
He closed his eyes.
— Isn’t it the same as His Majesty the King?
Beside him, as if remembering something, the sharp-looking swordsman let out a sigh.
It was a sigh of relief.
– Yes. Alleviated unnecessary worries.
— Maybe we lacked faith.
— I think it’s a reputation you’ve created yourself.
Although he had many ears to hear, the Eastern Emperor’s Lord seemed to be fearless. In fact, no one pointed it out to him.
‘Because it’s true.’
Roan laughed bitterly.
The Eastern Hwangryeongju’s words, like his appearance, were also very cold.
— But I was also relieved. It has been confirmed that His Majesty himself ordered it.
Eastern Emperor Zhu placed her hand gently on the hilt of her sword.
For an instant, his appearance looked very peaceful.
— No more doubts. I’m just following your majesty’s orders.
— Haha, wait a minute,
Duke.
The North Baekryeongju tackled the Eastern Hwangryeongju.
— I understand why you are ordering a ceasefire. But supplies to the soldiers? Eliminate marauding troops and have a survival rate? What does that mean? Do you understand the Grand Duke and the Duke?
— Why do we need understanding?
In the cold expression of the East Yellow Emperor, the Northern White Horse made a strange expression.
As if the blood had drained away,
It was a face like a corpse.
Bukbaekryeongju said with a face like a still life without a smile.
— Why should I give something to the little ones? They’re meat shields that buy me time until I clear the enemy.
East Hwangryeongju stared at the count of Northern Baekryung.
Comradeship will inevitably be rare.
He’s a wizard
It’s different from the Red Tower Archduke and me who charge into the battlefield at the forefront. Like the Grand Duke of Darkness, he stands behind and observes the situation, then proceeds with the genocide with the most efficient attack.
So he doesn’t even have the slightest sense of camaraderie that I or the Archduke feel towards the soldiers.
Because his genocide has no division of blood.
I’ve seen his expression when he kills an ally.
It was the same expression as when slaughtering an enemy.
Joy.
After thinking, the Eastern Hwangryeongju spoke.
— If you are a lord, you must supply winter items to your enlisted soldiers according to His Majesty’s orders. Count. You wouldn’t know that
— Ha ha, you know. I know. I do not dare to defy the Emperor. It’s just that I don’t understand why you should spend money on people who are weak and will die anyway.
However, the Eastern Yellow Emperor spoke in a cold but patient tone. As if he was trying to make the count understand.
— Countess. It’s a simple matter.
– Yes?
— That means killing more humans.
— Yeah?
The Count, who had questioned the enemy’s words twice with an expressionless face, smiled after a while.
— Ah, ah, ah, ah, hah. Yes. All right.
North Baengnyeongju nodded his head.
The cat ears on the count’s head fluttered as if showing a violent emotional change.
The same smile returned to his hardened face.
Roan frowned at him.
A sense of incongruity that is clearly felt even in the video projected through the crystal ball.
The count laughed eerily for a long time.
And the Eastern Hwangryeongju, Jeokgamgong, who silently looks at it.
— Yes, the Duke is right! It’s because we have to kill more humans! I thought briefly. No matter how much meat shield it is, it’s natural that it lasts longer if you put it on anything and feed it!
— By the way, try reducing the number of allies who are swept away by magic, Count. You mean His Majesty.
— Ha ha, yes, yes. All right. That’s enough to kill more humans! All right!
Upon hearing the Count’s words, Roan’s expression became subtle. He told me not to kill allies, but he said he just needs to kill that many more enemies… ?
What is this logic?
Is the emotion hidden behind it something like ‘regret’?
‘You bastard, what a psychopath you are…’
Finally, Roan realized why the North Baekryeongju’s laughter was strange.
A wide smiley face.
His eyes were bright and full of life.
It felt like this even in the video, so the other lords on site would be even more uncomfortable.
In fact, dozens of lords surrounding the round table are silent, not making a sound, just watching the conversation between the Eastern Hwangryeongju and the Northern Baekryongju.
He must be brooding over the orders I gave him, unable to even join in the terrifying conversations of the great lords.
‘Rather, the Eastern Emperor is a normal person.’
After listening to the conversation to some extent, the internal evaluation of the Eastern Emperor’s Spirit rose relatively.
His tone is cold, but isn’t it the most normal position among me? Even the Western Blood Lord or the Northern Baekryong Lord who don’t understand, explain it in a thrifty way.
There were quite a few lords who nodded their heads after hearing the explanation of the enemy.
‘Let’s talk when we meet at the New Year’s festival.’
And so far, out of the four great lords, only the lord of the Southern Dark Spirit, the Great Duke of Darkness, has remained silent.
Roan felt even more uncomfortable about that.
This video was secretly filmed to see the reaction of the lords. However, the Grand Duke of Darkness did not say anything about what he was thinking.
If it’s different than usual, people around you might ask ‘why aren’t you saying anything’?
Seeing that the other great lords didn’t talk to him, it seems that he usually doesn’t comment much during meetings.
You can also be cautious
It might look silly.
It may be the temperament needed by someone holding the title of high lord, but…
‘I don’t understand.’
It’s frustrating from the point of view of Roan watching.
The conversation between the great lords was over.
Only then was the barracks filled with murmurs. The lords were discussing their thoughts with those sitting next to them.
It was only when the turmoil subsided that the Grand Duke of Darkness slowly opened his mouth.
— I didn’t know you cared so much about war. It’s the first time you’ve given orders directly to the front line.
Everyone was listening to the Southern Dark Lord.
The most powerful one in Evirgio after Roan.
He was like an emperor in that barracks.
— Whatever the reason, there is no need to worry about it here. According to the emperor’s order, it is concluded in winter. Anyway, Merde would expect a passive battle to unfold in the winter, as it did every year. Even for us, this order is unexpected.
The back of the Grand Duke of Darkness moved slightly.
— However, no matter how much Your Majesty wants to strengthen and protect your soldiers, keeping them alive will be tricky. These are the things you should sacrifice your life for.
First of all, since you and Sohui’s ministerial units are going to check the survival rate, let’s see. Vice-captain.
At the end of the Dark Duke’s line of sight, one Dyurahan wearing armor was sitting. Armor with the same pattern as Minoreus. He is the vice-captain of the Central Knights.
The answer flowed from his head tucked into his side.
— These are the words of your merciful majesty, who wants to count even the people. If more people survive, won’t the next battle also become easier?
The Grand Duke laughed lightly at Dyurahan’s words and turned his head slightly towards the video.
— That my daughter would all perish once she went to the battlefield. Isn’t that so, Eleanor.
Then the video shook.
Above all, a voice heard close by.
— Yes, Father.
The Grand Duke’s voice was mixed with laughter.
Hearing this conversation alone makes him feel like a father who is overconfident in his daughter’s abilities.
However, after hearing the archduke’s usual tone, Roan realized. What the Archduke is saying now…
It meant that the people the emperor cares about are insignificant anyway, so they can’t affect the world at all — it was a mockery of the emperor who made such a foolish decision.
Roan clenched his fists.
Soldiers are not expendable.
Of course, Erennier is strong, but it is the soldiers who fight most of the war.
‘I hope that somehow Minoreus and the small meeting’s troops can achieve results.’
It was a little childish repulsion, but I wanted to suppress the power of the Grand Duke of Darkness.
In the video, the Grand Duke and the lords started talking about the full-fledged war situation and strategy. Moment.
‘… Uh?’
The eyes of the Northern Baekryeong Lord met Roan.
Roan was startled.
Perhaps it was looking at the beads taking the video. He said he was a wizard, so he might have realized the flow of magical power.
Since he was disguised as a tool for self-defense, it wouldn’t have been strange if magic was flowing at all times.
Am Qingbai looked at his marble for a brief moment, looked up at the face above it, grinned, and turned his head again.
Only then did Roan realize what was slightly blocking his vision on both sides.
‘… Chest… , There was a marble stuck in between…’
It seems she couldn’t keep staring at his chest.
He doesn’t know if he noticed the shooting, or if he just felt the magic and turned his gaze here.
‘But there’s no way to check.’
No matter how count he is.
Because the Count couldn’t touch this photographer carelessly.
After the meeting video ended, what was briefly projected at the end was the image of the photographer.
— Um, this is being saved, right?
His enormous breasts covered the screen and then fell.
— I’ve tried talking on the phone with my voice, but sending my image like this is something different♡
It was Eleanor with an excited voice.
She was wearing a light nightgown, as if she was about to fall asleep.
Only the barracks in the middle of the battlefield, her barracks and bed were decorated like the bedroom of a luxurious noble lady.
The entire area around the bed was covered in cloth, giving it a cozy atmosphere. Because they are nobles, they are treated differently.
Recalling the A-type tent during the cold weather training, Roan involuntarily smiled bitterly.
— It’s a secret with you. So cool♡
Eleanor is Roan’s fiancée.
That’s why she is the right person to inform the lords of their every move.
Because it is a family of great nobility, there are few things to be disturbed,
There are few cases of being threatened with life or morally condemned if caught.
It was rather natural for her would-be wife to give information for her husband.
Even a woman The beads for shooting become a necklace and hang on her chest. It is a position that male demons cannot carelessly touch or continue to look at.
How perfect is this!
— Thank you for entrusting me with such an important task♡
Ernear twisted her body as if she couldn’t control her joy. Every time she sees her big breasts bouncing through her thin nightgown, stealing her attention.
—As heard, Merde’s attack on the granary will go exactly as she originally planned. Sooner or later, I’ll be leaving Hazard as well.
A granary raid to cut off Merde’s supply is soon to be carried out. Currently in October.
In Evirzio, it is classified as winter, but in Merde, autumn is in full swing. After the harvest, Merde’s supply wheat warehouse must be full.
The wagon carrying her supplies met the demon army and the entire wagon was taken, and the wagon and wagon that remained in the granary were taken to Ebir Geo while loaded with wheat. Those who guarded the warehouse were slaughtered.
Merde’s troops, which are rushed in, are also slaughtered by Erenia one by one. Erenia returns after exhausting all her strength in that battle.
That was the flow in the game. To be precise, it is a story from the scene where the hero listens to the words of Merde, a survivor of the battle.
I hope it doesn’t change this time.
While Roan looked at the video with interest, Ernear kissed her bead and the video ended.
[… So, what happened?]
“… Uh?”
At Fiora’s words, Roan lost his nerves.
“Have you seen any?”
[I told you. You can’t read or do anything with swordsmanship. I don’t see with my eyes and hear with my voice. It is to grasp the human vibration with the sword.]
Fiora sarcastically chuckled.
[If Roan’s eyes were working properly, he would have noticed that I had no eyes and no ears.]
“Fiora, you talk.”
[How can I talk when I have no mouth? It’s a mental transmission. It’s difficult because Roan is stupid.]
“…”
[So, what was the content?]
“… I plowed the lords. There will be supplies for winter soon, so don’t lose strength among allies and attack Merde in winter.”
[Oh, that’s an order like an emperor.]
“I don’t even have to pretend.”
[It’s great, it’s great.]
Received praise twice.
A small smile appeared on Roan’s face.
Roan, an emperor and an adult man, would never be praised like a child.
Fiora’s words were a strange encouragement.
“Thank you.”
Roan leaned back in his chair, seemingly relieved. Now, all he has to do is wait.
