Common Sense of a Warrior

"General! This way, we have destroyed the enemy!

Non was fighting mercenaries in Marquis Anderson territory.

Based on Alf's information, Parks plans the operation, which he executes with a handful of escorts.

Efficient and repeated destruction of each of the lurking mercenaries so that there was no leakage of fire.

"... a little more"

"Yes. Next, last"

"... let's hurry"

He naturally grabbed that Nort was about to move out of the Principality of Limmel.

And that's why I was in a hurry.

Non was taking everyone to the last lurking place.

Manning and entering the entrance and back entrance of a certain building in Marquis Anderson territory.

I ran around the building, checking every room.

And when you open the door to the last room, there are ten men in that room of spaciousness.

"... that's him, Nort!

"What?

Alf's men point to one of them.

According to prior information, Nort should be marching in the Principality of Limmel... and was deeply puzzled.

But there's no way he could be wrong to know Nort straight away as Alf's subordinate.

... Then what the hell are they doing marching in the Principality of Limmel...

"... Hi, nice to meet you. I left it for your introduction, my name is Nort. Please leave it with me."

None other than he himself admitted that he had dispelled the confusion.

"I see.... your Lord is the root of all evil"

That's how he squeals, and Non hits Nort.

Nort was on the brink and managed to pull it back.

In the meantime, the guards slaughter the other men.

"Hey... hey, let's talk"

"Nothing to tell Non, though?

"No, there are stories you don't know. If I talk to you, will you miss it?

"... who misses something. Besides, your Lord will want to speak freely."

Wave your sword relentlessly.

Avoidance did not come true, and Nort's sword was bounced off.

He didn't run away like that, slashing him.

Helpful or not, it was a critical wound.

"So, what is your Lord's story?

Kneeling in with a bloody sword standing, Noun asked.

The escorts who would refrain behind them also seemed to be cold sweating for some reason when they saw Non, but I don't have time to worry about that.

"I think it's better if we talk fast.

Again, Noon stares.

In that gaze Nort opened his mouth with a trembling pickle and body.

"How long do you think me and... me and Master Cordis have been connected?

"Hmm... you know, when Verse started the iron run-off, right?

To Non's answer, Verse laughed.

"There's no reason for that. We were connected a long time ago... at the end of the Twill campaign."

"... back in the Battle of Twile?

"Yeah, I am. I was giving weapons to the Twilight Country at the request of Mr. Cordis.... but that's when they were looking at me. To your wife. Where we're handing over weapons."

"... to Merrilda?

"Yeah, I am. I was sending weapons betting on the winner of the Twill Nation, but I didn't expect to lose.... so after losing, I retreated that the connection would be troublesome to expose... only the girl who witnessed me could be found. Then I kept looking... I didn't know it was the wife of Lord Gazelle"

I guess the reason he didn't realize it was because her background had been changed by the country soon after the Battle of Twile.

She must have been the daughter of the Count of Sezon's, adopted with the Baron.

To avoid that fact being revealed, and there were also births and parenthood of Parks and Merlis, far from the tabular stage except for a personal tea party.

"I noticed because she started attending parties. And I washed her surroundings for a year...... I also noticed Lord Verse's ambition. Well, thanks to that guy, I didn't have to get my hands dirty myself, so I'm grateful to Lord Verse, yeah. And we negotiated a little bit of that with the story."

"... I see. Well, didn't you harm Merrilda directly..."

A voice so small that they can't hear you, they whine.

"... but also the fact that Verse was mainly put on board. Again, you can't throw it away."

And Noon truncated Nort.

"... Parks!

"Yes."

"The presence of Nort here means that the march in the Principality of Limmel changes the premise! Hurry up and take the convoy to Merlis in the Principality of Limmel!

"Yes, sir!

Again, Non looks down at Nort.

"Did your Lord just use it for Cordis again, too, or... Well, in any case, your lord sold the quarrel to Nong. That's all."

So he shrugged, and Noon left the scene.
