82 – Episode 82 Paonia
South Castle.
Nearby forest.
“Uncle, you also informed the other small lords, right?”
“Hunters have been dispatched to each small lord, and we are communicating closely. “They will also move early this morning.”
Branches of Paonia in each territory.
We planned to attack this place at one time on one day.
I am also following that plan and hiding in the forest near South Castle.
“It is more surprising that even the Funan family was on Paonia’s side.”
Funan family.
This is a family that has demonstrated excellence in administration.
Members of these families were involved in much of the frontier’s administration.
Such a family acted as a branch of the Paonia branch organization.
“Looking back, the Fianna family must have been one of the branches.”
Fiana family.
A family of knights who have been loyal to the Frontier for three generations.
In return for his dedication, he was even entrusted with managing the city of Plain.
“I think so. That may be why we went to great lengths to block the entry of hunters and mercenaries.”
I would have used the time I earned to dispose of various materials.
So when I went there, the data had already disappeared.
“This time, we need to obtain data. That way, it will be easier to attack Paonia.”
“Don’t worry. Hunters are already watching the Funan family. According to reports, the enemy has not noticed.”
While we were talking, the appointment time got closer.
When everyone was asleep,
We moved towards South Castle.
South Castle.
Entrance.
Only I, Uncle Miller, and the mercenary leaders approached.
The guard who was aiming his spear quickly stood at attention.
“Lord So!”
“Lord So!”
“Do not report inside, open the gate.”
The guards’ eyes turned to the castle gate captain.
“Open it. “No reporting inside.”
The gates open,
Mercenaries and hunters waiting outside came rushing in.
The number was over 500.
“So… My lord?”
“We are in a secret operation.”
Captain Seongmun thought for a moment and said,
I stepped aside.
Tap his shoulder a few times,
Entered inside South Castle.
From Noble mtl dot com
We headed to Funan Mansion.
I joined the hunter who was watching the place,
I have been informed of the situation.
“You mean there is no movement?”
“Yes. The Funan family is as usual.”
“Good job.”
Send a hunter,
Only the leadership remains.
The people here are
Hunter Director Miller.
Inon, leader of the Innocent mercenaries.
Selion, leader of the Salamander mercenaries.
Chase mercenary leader Filan.
It was.
Hans and the slave soldiers were not brought in because they were not suitable for the operation.
It may be an all-out war, but slave soldiers are not effective in surprise operations.
“Follow the plan.”
I had a plan in place before I came here.
The Innocent Mercenary Group is at the south gate.
Salamander mercenaries preface.
Chase Mercenaries are alumni.
Finally, the hunters attack the north gate.
“Basically, the operation is to capture, but if they resist, it is okay to kill them. The most important thing is time. Neutralize the enemy in a short period of time and secure the data warehouse. More.”
They dispersed to their respective areas.
When each force was in position,
I signaled to Inon.
“Inon.”
“Yes.”
Inon ran out.
Afterwards, Innocent mercenaries attacked the South Gate.
Inon’s sword appears with sword energy,
With one sword, the private soldier guarding the door was neutralized.
Successfully, the gate of the mansion was destroyed with this sword.
‘You’ve definitely gotten stronger.’
After gaining divine power,
Inon’s skills have risen several levels.
I heard from a priest that Inon’s sacred power is equivalent to that of a high-ranking paladin.
Starting with Inon,
The Innocent mercenaries entered the mansion.
There were several resistances internally, but
It was not an opponent of the Innocent mercenary group.
Besides, shouldn’t your enemies defend your defenses?
“Inon! “Start with the data!”
“I understand!!”
The surprise operation was over in less than 20 minutes.
‘The power is weaker than I thought.’
Paonia is a family that specializes in information.
Then I thought it might be the Hunter series.
It is excellent at hiding, searching, and tracking, but is weak in all-out warfare.
And that thought was right.
“So… Lord So! “What on earth are you doing!”
The head of the Funan family screamed while being bound.
“You know Paonia, right?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? “Of course you wouldn’t know!”
“What is your relationship with Paonia?”
“There is no particular relationship. “I only met you through Brilda.”
I asked a few more questions,
The head of Funan gave an easy answer.
There was no doubt about his answer.
It seems like they were prepared for this situation.
“Release me now! “If you withdraw now, I will not report today’s events to the lord!”
“That’s not possible. “Today, I plan to search through this mansion.”
Only then did the Funan family head’s face show signs of impatience.
I was convinced after seeing this.
“You haven’t destroyed the data yet?”
“…”
Silence fell in the yard of the mansion.
After a while,
Uncle Miller came running.
“I discovered a secret space inside. “It was full of various materials.”
Then he handed me one.
It was a document organizing the Frontier vassals.
Not only the name, age, special skills, and interpersonal relationships, but also the loyalty of the vassals was displayed in numbers.
“Why do we have something like this in Funan?”
“Well… That was for administrative convenience. So… Please go back now.”
The head of the Funan family had a pitiful expression.
Now, not only me but others are also noticing it.
“What’s wrong? “If you say that, it makes you want to search more, right?”
“…”
The search continued until daybreak,
In addition to the secret room I first found, I discovered several more spaces.
Rather, the first room I discovered was closer to a bait.
Because much more important data was stored in the deeper space.
I couldn’t take my eyes off one document in particular.
“… Funan family head, is this true?”
The plan and process of Sylvia Frontier’s assassination, as well as its impact, were outlined there.
“My mother was assassinated!?”
Peook.
Uncle Miller grabbed Funan by her hair and pounded it on the floor.
As if his anger still persisted, he kicked his torso several times.
Sylvia Frontier.
This body’s biological mother.
She said she had heard that she had died of illness.
I heard that her health deteriorated a lot after giving birth to Elena.
But,
In fact, the assassination was carried out by the Paonia family.
“You assassinated the landlady of the Frontier, married a member of her family, and even tried to make her child a lord. Were you planning on taking over the Frontier!?”
Puck. Puck.
“Wow. Omg.”
My uncle made a sound of heavy breathing.
“This guy must be executed immediately! “I can never forgive you!”
My uncle shouted with a red face.
The voice was full of anger.
“Calm down. Uncle.”
“Are you… calming down after reading that material?”
I gave Inon a look,
Inon dissuaded his uncle.
“Escort the materials here and the people of Funan to the Father. Their disposition will be decided by the Father. And we go to the Paonia family.”
.
.
He led the entire army and headed towards the Paonia family.
Because we had agreed with the small lords in advance, there was no problem crossing the border.
Slave soldiers 2,000.
Mercenary 300.
Hunter 200.
Only the elite were selected from each class.
Nevertheless, the number reached 2,500.
Near the village where Paonia is located.
Settled on the plain.
“How are the enemies moving?”
Grandpa Campbell stood up.
“The gangsters are gathering in Paonia. “This is a good situation to wipe out all at once.”
Anger was revealed in the middle of speaking.
“We must attack immediately and punish the Paonia bastards!”
This time Uncle Miller spoke.
The mother’s assassination case is revealed,
Even after several days, their anger did not subside at all.
At that time, Hans opened his mouth.
“I understand how you two and Youngju Su feel. However, the enemy is preparing for an attack. “If we attack the village like this, there will be civilian casualties.”
The scattered organizations in Ireland gathered together in the Paonia family,
The number was over two thousand.
2500 Vs 2000.
If this number fights in the village,
There will be a significant number of civilian casualties.
‘Besides, this is the Duchy of Vampires.’
“Waiting outside the village…”
Boom.
“Elwin! Aren’t you angry! “Shouldn’t we kill those Paonias right now?”
Grandpa shouted.
I flinched at those words without realizing it.
Because the anger I had was different from that of my grandfather or uncle.
A mother whose face I have never seen.
Even, I am not the owner of this body.
Is that why?
My emotions had calmed down a lot.
“Grandfather, the head of the Paonia family will die by my hands. However, we cannot create civilian casualties in the process of killing him. “Political problems will arise later.”
“…”
The grandfather understands intellectually, but still cannot accept his emotions.
“Alencia is leading the troops. When he comes, he attacks together. “That way the problem won’t get bigger.”
“… I understand.”
**
**
Paonia Mansion.
The priest who stayed underground came up to the mansion.
This is because the situation was that serious.
“How did it come to this?”
At the priest’s question, the head of the Paonia family’s face lit up.
Is it your fault that this happened?
Isn’t this what happened because the priest kept pushing me?
Nevertheless, the priest was blaming himself.
“The situation is not good.”
“So what should I do?”
All the small lords of Ireland are on Elwynn’s side.
An island called Monster Island.
There was no place to escape from here.
“There is no way…”
“You seem to have no idea. First, let’s get rid of the guys gathered in front of the village. Coincidentally, there are enemies of the church over there.”
Elwin.
The main culprit who spread the Earth Cult on Monster Island.
“Are you planning on getting rid of Elwin?”
“That’s right. First, let’s get rid of Elwin. After that, we wait for support from the church. “If the denomination moves, there will be a way.”
The word hope appeared in the head of the Paonia family.
With the Moon Church, it might be possible.
