59 – Episode 59 Blood Revenge
Campbell conducted a large-scale search using mercenaries and hunters.
We investigated the accident site,
All traces left there were analyzed.
‘There are only 40 slave soldiers. ‘It’s probably not just one or two people.’
The point where the majority moved was specified,
I followed the traces.
And.
“Ha. “Look at these guys.”
Ashes remaining from the fire were found.
Weapons, equipment, and ballistas were produced by Iron.
‘One thing is certain. ‘It’s not just a robbery.’
An ordinary robber would not have disposed of items worth money in this way.
In that case, it should have been assumed that there was another target.
The fall of Ireland’s top tier, or
Or… The fall of Elwynn.
The search for traces began again.
Things were burned here, but people must have moved to another place.
“They are experts in their own way.”
His skill in erasing traces was beyond average.
“Even so, it doesn’t work for hunters.”
Campbell was proud.
Although the combat power is a little lacking, it includes hiding, tracking, and setting up traps.
Hunters are said to be the best experts in certain fields.
‘The strange thing is… They scattered here.’
After burning the equipment, everyone scattered and ran away.
It takes a lot of time to trace all the footsteps.
“This time we backtrack.”
If there are any traces of leaving,
There must be traces of gathering in the opposite direction.
The analysis results are:
‘Everyone gathered together. Are they living separately? Why did they gather together and attack the top?’
Various questions arose,
The thoughts stopped here.
Hunter’s specialty is finding traces. Because it’s not by any stretch of the imagination.
“We disperse from here.”
A hunter was assigned to each trace.
Mercenaries were also attached to guard them.
Campbell also took charge of one trace and followed it.
The place we reached that way,
“Village?”
It was a village in the Frontier Territory.
From here on, you can’t follow the trail.
This is because the traces have become polluted as many people pass by.
“That doesn’t mean you can’t find it.”
The size of each person’s footprints is different.
The shape of the footprints left behind is also different.
You can even tell the stride length by looking at the footprints.
Campbell and the mercenaries entered the village.
When a foreigner came in, there was a sense of discomfort.
This is especially true because of the mercenary uniform.
At that time,
“Isn’t it Mr. Campbell!”
The vigilante bowed loudly.
“Uh huh, it’s been a while.”
There are almost no Irish hunters who do not know Campbell.
In particular, most hunters on the frontier knew about it.
“A thief recently attacked the merchant.”
“I heard the news too.”
“So, I want to investigate the villagers.”
“…Are you suspicious of our village?”
The vigilante took a step back.
And they were called ‘village’, not ‘village people’.
At least to attack the upper part, the entire village had to move, not just individuals.
“That’s not it. “The bandits are scattered little by little in various villages.”
There are two footsteps that lead here.
Campbell explained the situation.
Then she finally brought out one name.
“Little Lord Elwynn is angry.”
“Lord So…”
If the person with absolute power over the territory is the lord,
The second person in power and the person in power in the future is Youngju So.
In addition, hasn’t his status as a minor lord been solidified recently?
“I will gather the villagers.”
“Thank you for your help.”

The investigation proceeded smoothly as the villagers cooperated.
First, we plan to identify those who did not have an alibi on the day of the attack.
Afterwards, the footprints were compared,
Finally, after going through the interrogation.
‘We will be able to identify the culprit.’
When checking alibis one by one,
People were buzzing.
“Where is Henry?”
“Can’t you see Winton?”
Noisy. Loud.
Noisy. Loud.
“Who says there is no one? “Where are they?”
I sent someone, but they couldn’t find him.
At this point, Henry and Winton were investigated intensively.
And.
‘It wasn’t even there on the day of the raid. The footprints are also similar.’
I investigated the place where he was last seen and began tracing his tracks once again.
This same thing happened to other hunter teams as well.
.
.
Hunters scattered across each village gathered in one place.
At the entrance to the city plain.
City Plain.
The great plains of the Frontier Territory.
The city plain located there.
It was once the largest timber producer in the Frontier.
It currently functions as a commercial city.
Small villages not visited by the upper class purchase goods from the plain.
Because of this, many people were still going in and out of the city.
The moment Campbell, Hunter, and the mercenary group were about to enter,
Chuck.
The guards stopped.
“I am pursuing a criminal according to Lord So’s orders.”
The guard did not move even when he was told that he was a small lord.
In fact, other guards joined in and blocked the way.
“Do you have any evidence?”
“What evidence?”
“Please provide proof that it was an order from Lord So.”
There was no need for such a thing until now.
Campbell is Elwin’s maternal grandfather,
The hunters are managed by Elwin’s uncle,
Because the Salamander mercenaries and Chase mercenaries who came together signed a castle contract with Elwin.
Their identity itself was proof that it was Elwin’s order.
“There is no time. “If we continue like this, we might miss the culprit.”
“Bring the evidence. Until then, you cannot enter.”
The guard’s attitude was strange.
Plain is a commercial city.
It is a place where entry and exit is freer than any other village in the Frontier Territory.
‘Still, blocking it means there was a separate order.’
Campbell glanced behind him.
The strong Salamander mercenaries and Chase mercenaries were holding on.
With our current strength, we can break through the guards and enter.
‘They probably know it, but if they stop it… Are they really hoping for bloodshed?’
Depending on how you look at it, it may seem like Elwin’s minions are attacking the city.
‘If the commotion grows, the attack on the upper level may be buried.’
Small incidents are easily buried in front of big incidents.
Campbell, who has lived for a long time, saw through this.
Campbell left a message.
“Everyone will report to Lord Su. I hope you handle it well then.”
Then he retreated with his mercenary group.
Plain A hill overlooking the city.
It settled there.
“Go back to the village you came from. “Ask people and draw the criminal’s face.”
“I understand.”
“I understand.”
The hunters scattered.
Campbell remained on the hill with the mercenaries and watched over the city.

[Report on the attack incident above
…
After examining the scene of the incident, the number of criminals was estimated to be around 30.
…
They are scattered throughout each village in the form of a point organization.
…
The investigation begins, and the criminals flee to Plain City.
…
Prevented from entering the plane. Requesting clear evidence that it was an order from So Young-ju.

“On the plain?”
Plain is the main city of the Frontier Territory.
The city is managed by the Fianna family.
They come from a family of knights and have been devoted to the Frontier for three generations.
‘Grandpa won’t be easy to deal with.’
I wrote a letter saying it was a legitimate order and even put my seal on it.
‘But… Will this work?’
Once you start complaining, there is no end.
For example, what if you suspect forgery?
You cannot enter again.
As time passes, the possibility of missing a criminal increases…
“Bring Sir Hans!”
“I understand!”
After a while, Hans came in.
“Did you call me? “Lord So.”
“Will it be okay without me?”
“What are you saying all of a sudden…?”
Turn slave soldiers into engineers,
Build a temporary fortress in the monster area,
Control monsters with Hunter,
Luring and killing only some,
All of these strategies came from my head.
But, the people who run it are Hans and his uncle.
Once the commander and soldiers are familiar with the operation, there is no need for me to be there.
I explained what happened on the plain.
“I guess I’ll have to go see it in person.”
“That’s right.”
I got up and patted Hans on the shoulder.
“We will definitely support supply. So, I ask for the battlefield.”
“I understand!”

A village on Monster Island.
The man arrived in front of the store.
He looked around and went inside.
I didn’t forget to look inside.
Only after confirming that only the owner was present, encrypted text was exchanged.
After a while,
The owner opened the door leading to the basement.
Tap. Step by step.
A sound rang out every time the man walked.
It was unusually loud because it was a basement with all sides closed.
Tap. Tap…Buck.
I arrived in front of the door and stopped.
Knock. Knock.
“Come in.”
The man went inside.
Another man was waiting there.
“What’s going on?”
“Elwin is chasing a gang member.”
“Organization members? Why?”
“It’s because of the raid on the upper part of Ireland.”
For a moment, silence fell.
It was a place where not even the sound of the wind could be heard, so the silence was heavy.
“Brilda overextended herself, and this is what happened in the end… What is the current situation?”
“I went into hiding in the city plain.”
“Is it any different if it’s plain? “I’m sure we’ll get caught soon, right?”
“The Fianna family blocked it…”
Peook.
The man threw a bundle of documents on the desk.
“Did you move the Fianna family?”
“This is such an urgent situation…”
“If this happens, even the Fianna family will be exposed. “Do you know that?”
“I made up a good reason, but… I’m sorry.”
The man calmed down his excitement in an instant.
“There is nothing we can do about it. Evacuate those exposed to the Duchy of Vampires. And the Fianna family… Must be protected.”
“I understand.”
