64 – Episode 64 The arrow that lost its target
If it is impossible to track Anna as Hunter said,
I can’t keep sticking to that.
As my grandfather said, you have to do what you can, one by one.
Manor house.
1St floor conference room.
Gathered all the vassals in South Castle.
“Thank you for coming even though it was late.”
“No! Lord Su!”
“If you call me anytime, anywhere, I will come right away!”
“Of course. Lord Su!”
When Brilda died,
The battle for successor is completely over.
Is that why? The vassals showed excessive loyalty.
I made eye contact with them one by one.
Most of them were with Brilda when she was showing off her power.
‘We can’t punish them all…’
You can’t get rid of everything just because you don’t like it.
Frontier administration will be paralyzed.
At that time, a person caught my eye.
“Lord Wilson.”
“Yes!! Lord Soyoung!! “I will be loyal!!”
Even if others pass by,
There are people you cannot forgive.
“Lord Wilson, do you remember the day we fought the Black Orcs together?”
Wilson could not answer.
“Could it be that you forgot?”
“No!! “I remember!!”
“Me too.”
How could I forget that day?
When I broke off my engagement and returned to Frontier,
Brilda called me.
They said the Black Orcs had invaded and left it to me to subdue them.
The driver who was with me at that time was Wilson.
‘He is also someone who did not appear until I died.’
Of course, thanks to that, I completed the tutorial.
That’s why we were able to grow to this point.
“I heard that Sir Wilson is an excellent knight.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“…Yes? Oh, thank you!!”
“That’s right. “I want you to go to the front lines.”
“…”
All highly skilled knights are at the front lines.
The technicians inside are relatively unskilled.
Sending someone like that to the front lines means.
It was like a death sentence.
Because it is not a place where they can survive.
‘I’m going to die anyway. ‘Die while fighting monsters.’
Daldaldaldaldal.
Daldaldaldaldal.
The sound of Wilson’s armor hitting the table filled the conference room.
“Well, well… The lord… Decides on such matters…”
“Permission will be granted after death. Sir, go to the front immediately.”
“Lord So… Please…”
Wilson knelt on the floor.
He crawled up to the head of the table in that position.
“I was wrong. I will do whatever other orders you give me. So please…”
I got up from the chair.
And then he pulled out his sword.
“How many benefits did you receive as a vassal family? But when it comes time to fulfill your duty, you refuse!!”
He put the sword to Wilson’s neck.
Blood flowed down the blade of the sword.
“Make a decision. Will you fight monsters for the frontier? Or die by my sword.”
If I choose the latter, I sincerely intend to kill him.
When Brildana was killed, it was Iga Wilson who directly intervened.
And there was also a need to show it to the vassals.
If you cross the line, you will die.
Wilson couldn’t make a decision.
He just asked for forgiveness.
“Bring Wilson to his knees.”
This is not bad either.
To show it to the vassals attached to Brilda.
The knights captured Wilson.
Then he craned his neck.
“Wilson, I charge you with the murder of Lord So…”
“I will go to the front lines. I will fight monsters!! “I will protect the Frontier until Lord Xiao forgives me!!”
“They say it was like this and that. “Leave for the front lines immediately.”
“Yes!! “I’ll leave right away!!”
Wilson rushed out of the conference room.
He would expect to be called back if he were on the front lines,
I have no intention of doing so.
‘I’ll bring you to South Castle after I die.’
I swung my sword quickly.
Then, drops of Wilson’s blood on the blade fell to the floor.
After wiping off the remaining blood, I placed it in the sheath.
“There was a commotion. “Let’s start the meeting.”
The main content of the meeting was a return to 16 years ago.
Main officials were replaced, starting with the general manager.
They are all appointed by Brilda.
After the selection process,
The newly appointed Commander-in-Chief opened his mouth.
“Young Lord, I have something to worry about.”
“What is it?”
The commander-in-chief noticed this and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“The appointment of major public officials is under the authority of the lord. “I wonder if Lord So can do this…”
“I will solve that.”
Father entrusted internal affairs to Brilda.
It’s not because I like Brilda.
It’s because of my father’s personality.
The person I saw called father was,
I used up all my energy fighting monsters.
That’s why he didn’t have the strength to care about the rest.
If I change my position,
He will allow it without saying anything.
“Let’s work like this starting tomorrow.”
“I understand. “Lord So.”
“I understand. “Lord So.”
Perhaps because of a sin committed,
Everyone accepted the personnel change.
“And the knights, gather in front of the mansion as soon as the sun rises tomorrow. “I have work to do with you.”
At dawn the next day.
The Knights and Chase mercenaries gathered.
The current situation seemed like a game of chess against an unknown enemy.
When I attacked, the enemy defended.
And the defense was successful.
All raiders at the top were killed.
By manipulating the traces, the main culprit was driven to the top of Brilda and Silnia.
Next, Brilda was eliminated.
I cleaned up her room.
The person involved, Anna, has gone missing.
“One piece left.”
Top of Silnia.
“All troops raid Silnia Upper Headquarters. Don’t miss a single one and take them down. “Secure internal data without damaging it.”
The Knights and Chase mercenaries moved in one direction.
Towards where the Silnia Upper Headquarters is located.
.
.
Top of Silnia.
The upper headquarters was chaotic with knights, mercenaries, and upper echelon employees tangled together.
‘We need to find a clue here.’
When waiting for the situation to end,
The requested merchant has arrived.
“Russell?”
“Master, did you call me?”
“I asked for a merchant, and you came.”
“Fortunately, it was a road passing nearby.”
I explained the situation so far.
And he also told why he called the merchant.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. “When money moves, it leaves traces.”
More than human words,
More than human behavior,
Money is more honest.
“That’s right. However, I am worried that double ledgers may have been prepared.”
“That can also be solved. There are bound to be loopholes in double ledgers. “I will find it.”
I tapped Russell on the shoulder.
“No matter what happens, you have to find it. All leads were lost. “This is your last chance.”
“Yes! “My lord.”
In conclusion…
Russell found out nothing.
All employees, including Silnia Sangju Ceylon, were arrested.
All internal data, including products, were secured.
But.
“Master, I don’t have any ledgers.”
It was not the time to worry about double ledgers.
Because these guys destroyed every single ledger.
Peook.
Kicked Ceylon.
I stepped on Ceylon’s chest as he fell sideways.
“Where is the ledger?”
“Cough… Our superiors don’t usually keep ledgers…”
Peook.
Where is the top without a ledger?
He said nonsense.
“The reason Lord So is doing this… Cough. “It must be because of the attack on the top.”
“Do you admit that you are the one behind it?”
“Cough.. That’s right. However, the current treatment is too harsh. It was simply a competition between the tops.”
Things look different depending on how you name them.
It seems that Ceylon wants to turn this incident into a conflict between the top companies.
That way, your sins will also be reduced.
“Everyone involved in this incident is dead. Even the hostess, Brilda, died.”
“That’s suicide… Kwaaa!”
I kicked the side of the fallen Ceylon with all my might.
“This is… Too much. “No matter how much you do, you can’t do this.”
“I can’t do this?”
“Yes! I worked for Frontier. I also paid all taxes. But why…!”
I squatted down.
There, I bowed down to my waist and became even closer to Ceylon.
“You know one thing, but you don’t know two. “No, are you ignoring me on purpose?”
“What are you talking about…”
“Is this just a competition between top companies?”
“Yes.”
A sneer was drawn on her face.
As if to show off to Ceylon.
“What was the item the merchant you raided was carrying?”
“That’s…”
Weapons, armor, food and ballista.
They are all military supplies.
It was an item to be used by frontier troops fighting monsters.
To put it in a small way, it caused damage to the frontier war,
To put it broadly, it is an interruption of the war of ‘humanity vs. Monsters.’
“All top executives, including you, are subject to the death penalty. Low-level employees will also be severely punished. But…”
I deliberately dragged the horse.
To make you look forward to it.
After a few seconds of silence,
I opened my mouth again.
“If you reveal everything behind it, I will spare your life. No, I’ll end it with a banishment order. You can go to the continent and live freely.”
“…”
“Are you going to end your life like this? “You only live once?”
Ceylon’s expression changed.
This must be his true self.
“So Young-ju. “It’s already too late.”
“Elwin!”
“Lord So!”
A mercenary attacked me.
The knight blocked Ceylon.
Peoeuung.
After the scorching heat has passed,
A burning pain was felt in his arm.
Good luck.
The hunters and knights sprayed the potion until their arms were soaked.
“Stop. “It’s over now.”
I got up from my seat and went to the knight who blocked Ceylon.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Protected with mana.”
Check his condition,
I looked away.
To the corpse of Ceylon, whose upper body has disappeared.
Ceylon is dead.
All ledgers at the top of Silnia have disappeared.
With this, even the last clue disappeared.
