Chapter 14 – Episode 14 Battle and Choice to Suppress the Rebellion And.
Ben Dankru, the leader of the Krui tribe in the north.
He is very bored with this situation.
Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
I just waited for 2 months.
Moth sore
To think that the peoples of the north who were born to fight had to wait near the castle like this.
Their reputation as a nation of battle was a waste.
Want to fight
No, we must fight.
The shouts of the subordinates were rising more and more.
“Leader! How long must we stay like this?”
“Let’s see the blood!”
“Let’s fight! It’s enough to just turn this place upside down!”
But Bendankru was a chieftain.
A skilled warrior, and the head of a single position in charge of the tribe.
I just couldn’t think of it.
Even so.
“It cannot be like this.”
Eventually, he fluttered his white beard and entered the Baltic Castle.
For an audience with the lord.
“What is going on?”
Baltic lord with a manly shaven beard asked.
“When are you planning to go out? How long do we have to wait!”
“… Wait.”
“You guys came all the way here believing in one promise to give us the land. But wait? That is an insult to our warriors!”
“I will give you the land… You don’t really believe that, do you?”
“What?”
“There are no promises. How dare you think you would keep your promise to the barbarians.”
“Are you serious?”
“There is no land to give to barbarians.”
Bendankrew bared its sharp fangs.
“Balts! Now that’s a statement that disregards our sacred pact!”
Despite Ben Dankrew’s growing threats, Balt did not budge.
Ben Dankrew, who met his eyes, felt something strange.
Those eyes.
‘He’s not looking at me.’
Something is strange.
Movement is unnatural.
Even the habit of tapping his chin with his finger whenever he spoke was gone.
Especially his eyes.
He was looking at himself, but his eyes were staring blankly into space.
No matter how much I stared, my eyes couldn’t come back into focus.
At that time, a line of blood flowed from Balt’s nose.
I don’t know what.
‘That wizard who said he came to the north.’
Why did you make it like that?
He killed the leader of the rebels to kill him, but there was no way he would do such a troublesome thing.
I don’t know why, but now is the time to back off.
You have to be unaware that you noticed.
Balt, a high-level knight, became a low-level.
Don’t jump in hastily.
“Huh! No matter what you say, our tribe will pay a fair price and take it!”
“All I can say is one thing. That is impossible.”
“Let’s see where we go!”
Ben Dankrew exited the throne room as if running away.
The barbarians go out.
“Hey, Anna, I forgot. Ah. Ah.”
“Tsk.”
I emerged from the shadows.
Is it because of mental manipulation?
The lord of Balt Castle, Count Balt, started to creak like a broken robot.
It’s broken.
His personality was ruined by excessive manipulation of his mind and memory.
‘This is why I didn’t want to write it.’
I can’t go back to the way it was.
He was a competent person who was in charge of the northern border.
We lost a valuable talent.
“Tsk.”
He was the leader of the rebels who had to be killed anyway.
It’s just that the method of execution was different.
In this world, poor sympathy was tantamount to suicide.
‘This is the last time I’ve done something like this.’
No more crossing the line.
It was important to survive in this world as Maurice, but more important than that was the basic morality that humans should have.
Let’s not cross
As much as the line I drew beforehand.
“Whoa.”
I sighed and put the malfunctioning Lord Baltic to sleep.
All that’s left now
‘Waiting for barbarians to attack the Baltic Castle.’
I hid in the shadows and waited for their attack.
But.
The savages were silent without movement.
“Hmm.”
Did you notice
The original operation was
1. Breaking the spirit of the northern lord, saying that there will be no such thing and that there will be no keeping promises.
2. Killing the barbarian leader, raising suspicion on both sides.
If that happens, they will hit each other and fight, and the main character and the imperial army aim for the gap.
This was the operation
The problem was that Ben Dankrew’s keen eye was better than I thought.
It was a failure brought about by the prejudice that barbarians would be simple.
If so, there was a workaround.
Right away.
To kill and divide the chieftain of the Kruy tribe, Ben Dankru.
If Bendankru, the chieftain who united numerous clans, dies, the barbarians will split from within.
We just need to subdue the savages who destroy themselves among themselves.
It’s a castle.
‘Because it’s enough when I open it.’
I hid myself in the shadows.
Through the shadows, he secretly infiltrated the camp of barbarians.
The largest tent among them.
It appeared from the shadows cast over Bendankrew’s tent.
Shadow shifting.
It is a magic that uses shadows to move space, and there was no magic like this to secretly move nearby places.
“Are you here too?”
Bendankru was already ready for battle. He was holding a sword larger than his own in one hand.
His whole body was covered with tattoos painted with bright red blood, as if he had just been engraved.
It was the Crui tribe’s magic that strengthened the body.
“You were well prepared.”
Again I noticed
“As expected, I thought it would come if I didn’t fight.”
“If you know better, finish quickly.”
“Cluck, no matter how great a mage is, you have to deal with this body in this small space. Wouldn’t it be easy?”
“You talk a lot.”
I burst into Bendankrew’s seat.
Bang!
The ground shook and a voice exploded.
No one entered the tent.
“You used witchcraft.”
Grew the boy.
As Ben Dankrew said, Silence was set around the tent.
You won’t even feel a vibration, let alone a sound.
The guy swung his greatsword.
Thud!
It was a powerful attack.
It bounced helplessly in front of my shield.
“Damn it, that’s a great witchcraft.”
Even though the attack went back to nothing, the guy’s expression was bright.
It was the face of a savage who was obsessed with fighting.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a sword or magic.
The fight continued.
As they exchanged attacks and defenses over and over again, Ben Dankrew’s face became more and more full of joy.
I snapped my fingers and caused an explosion in the direction of the greatsword.
“Heuk!”
The boy took a step back from the sudden explosion.
“Whoa, you have a lot of leftovers, yes.”
Instead of replying, I poured magic.
The stems that rose from the ground bound Bendankrew’s legs, and various elemental magics were shot into the air.
From fireballs to magic missiles, wind cutters, ice arrows and more.
It was only magic that was only 3 circles.
Its power far exceeded the 3rd circle.
The reason why I am considered the best among battle mages.
It was because he used that tier magic more perfectly than anyone else.
“Huh!”
Ben Dankrew stuck his sword into the ground and used it as a shield to block my magic.
But.
“Ah!”
It was too much to block with one sword.
“Cool!”
The guy spilled a handful of blood.
The hand holding the sword trembled.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok.”
The guy put down his sword.
“This is enough.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means we won’t be able to cross the South. As long as you are alive.”
“I know you well.”
Even if I die again and wake up, Bendankru can’t defeat me.
It was because the Cruy lacked resistance to magic compared to other races.
“I will give up. I never thought I’d spit out these words my whole life. I cannot see the faces of the tribesmen.”
Ben Dankrew smiled bitterly.
“Are you going to die like this?”
“No. We want to negotiate.”
“Negotiation?”
“Aren’t you trying to protect the people of the empire?”
It wasn’t entirely wrong.
However, protecting my body was greater than protecting the people of the empire.
Did you take my silence as a positive?
“It seems that not all the rumors spread are true. The cold-blooded magician of the empire is trying to save the people of the empire. It’s fun.”
I did not bother to correct the misunderstanding.
“A defeated hero never speaks twice, I will defeat the soldiers. It means to turn all forces back to the north.”
“Why?”
“Because I was defeated in a sacred duel.”
Ben Dankrew laughed and spat the blood from his mouth.
“Instead! I will give you my daughter.”
Huh?
“It is proof of the credit for my words. Hand over the most precious thing to the winner. This is our way.”
My head couldn’t keep up with the sudden development.
“Are you asking me to become the son-in-law of the barbarians?”
He laughed lightly
“You don’t have to be the son-in-law. You can use it as a concubine. The important thing is to receive your strong seed.”
“If I refuse and kill you, what will you do?”
“I already told you to charge the army south when I die. If you refuse my offer, I will commit suicide here and send the troops out.”
In other words, refusal meant war.
“Let’s think about how we can save more people of the empire.”
Look at this.
He knew how to take hostages.
It wasn’t a problem that could be solved by killing one person.
20,000 cavalry.
The animal they are riding is not a horse, but a werewolf.
Horses are good cavalry, they were Wolf Riders.
Its power was great.
It was not an easy problem to see.
“Whoa. It’s bothering me.”
“I understand that you accept it.”
I shook my head and nodded.
“I get it.”
Haha! Good night. Great!”
“Good night. When you withdraw your troops, I’ll come to you separately.”
“I get it.”
I disarmed Silas and went into the shadows.
Before I could return to headquarters, the barbarians had retreated by handing over their troops.
“Minister, they retreated!”
“I saw it too.”
“What did you do?”
“It’s nothing.”
He did not bring up the agreement with Ben Dankrew.
Baltic Castle, where the main force of the barbarian troops was missing and the commander was a waste, was an easy prey.
“It was a great strategy. Capturing without fighting?”
The soldiers who recaptured the Baltic Castle cheered and called my name.
“Long live Minister Morris!”
“Long live Maurice Dmitri!”
Balt, who was already insane, was easily caught.
Hehe. Hey, the promise is broken, withdrawal…”
Marquis Romero looked terrified when he saw Balt, who was completely ruined.
He glanced at me.
“Treason is a serious crime that must be destroyed by the three generations, so please punish it severely with imperial law.”
“All right.”
I heard the estranged Marquis Romero gossip with his men.
“As expected, the master of torture. How did that strong person become such a crippled person…”
One bad thing will be added.
I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t really care.
“I’ll come see you for a while.”
After confirming that Baltic Castle was completely occupied, I flew high into the sky.
They flew north and chased the Kruys across the border.
Troopers crossing the border pointed at me.
The Cruys who looked at me with wary eyes.
“What are you doing to your precious guest!”
He put down his spear at the sound of Ben Dankrew’s voice.
“Now you will become my daughter’s husband. To serve you dearly.”
Bendan Crewe walked briskly, ignoring his wounds.
“First of all, I should see your face before the ceremony. Let me introduce you to my daughter.”
I’ll be honest.
The reason why I didn’t think Ben Dankrew’s proposal was good.
It was because of his grim-looking face and body.
Urakburak. If there was one gorilla, wouldn’t it look like this?
Surely his daughter would also resemble his bloodline, and she would be no less like him.
It will add a burden of trouble to the house.
It was when I thought
A woman approached me, escorted by soldiers.
Dressed in fur, her face was covered with a veil.
‘He’s smaller than I thought.’
It was the exact opposite of Ben Dankrew.
She is short, perhaps a little over 160, and has white hair.
Her face her was not visible, but her skin her, peeking through her clothes her, was white and shiny.
“Daughter, show your face to your husband.”
The veiled woman.
She had the appearance of a snow woman.
Her white hair her, even her eyelashes her, were white.
“Hello. It is called Snow White, the girl.”
