Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 75. Capture the Capital (3)

Earl Lekelton and Sarphene have had many conversations.

It was about planning for the future. The story that continued relentlessly had to end by evening. So the prince left the castle and headed to the mansion.

The Marquis arrives at the mansion under the protection of knights.

Straight into the bedroom, he ordered the guard guard.

“Bite the knights. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

The knight who bowed his head obeyed orders.

Soon after all the postures disappeared, the monarch hugged his face without a word. Then he began to tear the skin off his face with both hands.

Wood Duck!

The skin is torn off with a terrible sound.

But completely off his face, his skin turned white. With the sound of the skeleton twisting, the Marquis's face changes.

After a while, the young man with military blue hair showed up.

It was Ferda.

“You're ready to freeze. ”

About two days from now.

Ferda has defeated the Marquis of Retkelton. It was also to make up for the humiliation that had happened in the past, but there was actually a fundamental reason.

It was to make the plates more elaborate.

Immediately after disposing of the Marquis, he played the Marquis perfectly, based on the information he had received from Ragni. It was to prepare for Sarphene's promise. And his efforts sparkled.

“I can't believe nobody would suspect that. ”

Ferda bursts into laughter. I laughed.

Then suddenly you hear a knock at the window. After opening the window wide, a familiar person appeared. A little boy dressed in a gray robe. He knelt on the ground and boldly said.

“Boss, I've come back from completing my mission. ”

It was a Cat Boy with pointed ears, Kalman.

In response, Ferda asked another question.

“Did you get the video right? ”

“Yes, the recording is perfect. ”

Kalman pulls the crystal ball out of his chest.

Inside the crystal ball is a recording of everything Ferda shared with Sarphene. With a surprised look on Sarphene's face, all I could see was instruction.

Ferda's mouth was filled with a happy smile.

That's when Kalman explained why he recorded this.

“As you said before, I will release this information to the First Prince. ”

With this answer, Kalman is nowhere to be found.

Sarphene, the two-prince who had the will.

Moreover, a confirmed succession to the throne.

What would the first prince look like if he saw this?

‘The answer is simple. ’

They may try to get rid of the will itself, or they may go on to create an army.

The situation is turning against Prince 1.

‘Just move in any form. ’

From then on, it becomes easier to make excuses.

Even though Prince 1st showed a passive movement, there was no problem. At that time, it was enough to pretend like the Knight in the First Prince did it.

Ferda had enough power and power to do so.

‘Let's wait quietly. ’

His gaze at the night sky changed like a crescent moon.

A smile filled with sinister chestnuts.

* * *

About four days after that.

The situation went as Ferda intended. The first prince, who was obsessed with information leaked by Kalman, was in an accident. Ferda is surprised to hear back from Howard.

“What? The First Prince attacked the Knights of Serrhaim? ”

“Yes, Earl Durdan is in command. ”

Earl Durdan is one of the Swordmasters of the realm.

It was one of the military forces supporting the First Prince at the same time. The fact that the giant himself went into the raid means that the first prince's heart was in such a hurry.

‘But even so, I didn't think they would attack the Knights. ’

It was more than I expected, to be honest.

Enough to revise some of Ferda's plans.

‘If the Holy Nation has not been harmed by disaster · · · · · · · ·. ’

The first prince's raid was unfortunate for Ferda.

The Holy Kingdom has created an excuse to interfere in the civil war of the kingdom.

However, now that we have suffered significant damage in the war against disasters, the Holy Nation has almost never been as active in intervening as it was in the original article.

‘Then it's a different story. ’

The hostility to the Holy Nation is now piercing the sky.

If troops are dispatched from Sererheim, neither prince can escape the blame of the people. The first prince offered a reason, and the second prince was cooperative.

‘Robert is different. ’

He received nothing from the Holy Land.

Rather, I focused on studying the people than caring about the Holy Nation. Both in the vicinity of the Archduke and in the vicinity of the Territory support Robert.

Things are becoming more and more advantageous.

I burst into laughter and look back at Howard.

“What's the outcome of the engagement? ”

“The Knights of the First Prince have been wiped out, and Earl Durdan has been critically wounded and is being transported to the castle. ”

“· · · · · · You don't have to report it. ”

I didn't even want to know.

Ferda frowns and pulls out what she wants to ask.

“What about the damage to the Holy Land? ”

“Most paladins were killed. There is only one paladin, presumed to be a commander, who survived. ”

Looks like he was planning on taking care of everything from the start.

Then I suddenly remembered.

I thought you said you were backing a four-star paladin. ’

A conversation that Earl Lekelton had with the Cardinal of the Holy Nation.

At that time, the Cardinal of the Holy Nation promised to support one 4-star paladin and two paladins.

And it is commonly known that four-star paladins had the same fighting power as the Swordmaster. I understand that Earl Durdan was badly wounded and fled.

“What should I do from now on? ”

Howard cautiously asks.

Awaiting instructions. Ferda is momentarily distracted. It was to clear up things that were off plan. Later, at the end of some time, Karlman suddenly appeared.

“Boss, we just got word. ”

Kalman's breathing continues to get rough.

Seeing the sweat on his forehead again, he seems to have rushed quite a bit. After a while, Kalman pulls the information he received from the informant out of his mouth.

“The first prince's additional troops are tracking down surviving paladins. Given the situation, they think they'll catch up with us soon. What do you do? ”

Perhaps the First Prince thinks the surviving four-star paladin has a will. That's why they're going after him like this.

“What's the paladin's escape route? ”

“A day's walk from the eastern front. ”

It was quite far from here.

It was difficult for Ferda to move on her own. As he ponders for a moment, he looks back at Kalman and Howard and asks.

“Is there a fighter available to enter the field nearby? ”

“Yes, we have a new branch. ”

“I think it was a little over 40 people. Common fighters are better than Biggers, and executives are beginners of Expert. ”

You nod quietly in response to Kalman and Howard.

That should keep you on your feet for a while. After completing the calculations, Ferda immediately gave the next instruction.

“Gather all the fighters in the precinct to help the paladin. ”

“Yes? That means · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Is it because I didn't think I'd get an answer?

Kalman gapes back, his eyes wide open. Then Ferda said,

“From now on, we help the return of surviving paladins. ”

In fact, I am reluctant to help the Holy Nation.

But to make the plate more advantageous, the Holy Nation had to intervene appropriately. That's why Ferda decided to send the paladin back to Sererheim.

On the other hand, Kalman's expression remained curious.

However, I did not throw up or raise questions. I didn't get it, but boss' orders anyway. That's why I lowered my head silently.

“Very well. I will dispatch combatants immediately. ”

After answering, Kalman hides himself. Howard also disappears, wanting to find a way to help the paladin.

Ferda, who is left alone, grabs the information she just heard one by one.

‘The restraint of the two princes. Moreover, the intervention of the Holy Nation. ’

Circumstances that flow more favorably than originally planned.

Of course, I couldn't let my guard down. After finishing thinking, Ferda mutters in a bold tone.

“Soon there will be the best stage. ”

I had a satisfactory smile on my dry mouth.

Similar views.

There was a speedster in the mountains of the eastern kingdom.

Silver armor stained with blood. Plus, a face full of shit.

A middle-aged knight who appears to have just been through a life-threatening battle. It was Jurden Schueller, a four-star knight of the Holy Nation Serrhaim.

“Huff! Huff! ”

Rough, restless breathing.

I was out of breath. But I couldn't stop. There were fierce pursuers behind him.

“Phew, Phew! ”

As he struggles to move his creaking legs, Jurden recalls the catastrophe that occurred only half a day ago. A battle fought by unknown attackers. The paladins, including him, responded vigorously, but were soon overwhelmed.

It was because I was outnumbered.

It was also said to be unknown, but in fact, it was roughly assumed.

It was because the assailant was familiar with the presence of the commander.

‘I was wearing a mask, but · · · · · ·. ’

The sword he uses. And the end of the sorcerer.

Everything looked familiar. Thus, Jurden judged. The identity of the enemy commander.

‘· · · · · · · Probably Earl Durdan. ’

About a decade ago, when the Kingdom of Laderon and Sererheim swore a fierce oath.

Every year, the lords of the two kingdoms would meet each other in friendly combat. At that time, Juden's opponent was the Swordmaster of Laderon, Durdan. That's why he was able to judge his identity like this.

‘This one is Prince 1st's best friend. ’

Once I was sure of the approximate identity, I remembered the reason for the raid.

At the time of guessing again, I suddenly remembered.

‘Then I said it was a will. ’

I overheard it during the battle, but he was clearly calling for a will. I heard from Cardinal Raderon that his predecessor had passed away, but I never heard of him leaving a will.

‘If so · · · · · · · · ·. ’

By now, the candidates for the throne of Laderon will be looking for a will. But at the same time, there was a question. Then why does he attack himself?

‘Anyway, we have to inform the home country. ’

The existence of a will.

And the First Prince attacked the paladins.

To make this known, the first thing to do was to escape alive. However, as time goes on, the distance between the pursuers narrows.

When the fire of hope was getting out.

Bashrack!

The bush rises before your eyes.

I wielded my sword from the ground up, fearfully recognizing it. With a fierce sword, the grass and trees were cut off. The next thing I saw were three or four men with hoods pressed against them.

“Shit, we're already here. ”

The pursuers were inevitable.

The good news was that they didn't seem to be doing so well. Juroden wields his grip and raises the divine power. I was going to cut it off and go on my way.

But it was then.

“Please draw your sword. ”

“We are not the enemy. ”

Those wearing hoods withheld Juroden's actions.

What kind of trick is this? When I opened my eyes, I took out what they were wearing around their necks. When Juroden found it, his eyes opened wide.

“That's...! ”

Token of the Moon. It was a sign to prove Sererheim's followers.

Are you the reinforcements from the home country that predicted this situation? No, but I think the reinforcements are too low in combat. As all questions came to mind, the congregation spoke.

“This is a bad place to talk. ”

“We'll take you somewhere safe. ”

It reminds him of the existence of the pursuers.

I don't know if they really are Sererheim worshippers, but for now, we need to get out of pursuit. Juroden, who judged so, did not slow down his guard and followed the followers.

After one day.

I no longer feel the spirit of the pursuers in Juroden's senses. Not only that, the faithful take a quiet step to guide Juroden across the border of the Eastern Front.

“You can rest assured now. ”

“The trackers have been successfully evaded. ”

So far, I had no doubt.

Juroden sighs of relief and looks at the congregation.

“Who are you? How did you know I was here? ”

The question that I soon endured burst like a flood.

The believers replied in a calm tone.

“As you may have guessed, we are members of Sererheim. ”

“The brothers who saw the knights being attacked came here to help you with the news. ”

In the following answer, Juroden's question was solved one by one.

By the time all the questions were resolved.

A man who looks like a leader of the congregation opens his mouth.

“All this is the plot of the Two Princes. ”

“Prince Two? You mean Prince Sarphene? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

The man nodding his head immediately started talking.

The story continued to be shocking.

The second prince mentioned a will that had never existed in the first place, causing the first prince to attack the Knights of Ser Ham. Later, when the knights intervened in the kingdom, they planned to take their power and ascend to the throne.

“All these stories were told by the brothers in the castle. ”

At the end of the speech, the man shut up.

On the other hand, Juroden was quite shocked.

‘· · · · · · · Now I understand. ’

Marquis Lekelton has accepted a small number of reinforcements.

Why the First Prince's knights raided the paladins. I felt like the pieces of the puzzle were coming together. As Juroden's expression grew stiffer, the congregation opened their mouths again.

“We are currently being persecuted by the Kingdom. ”

“Praying to God has become a sin, and many brothers and sisters are still living in pain at this moment. ”

It was said that the lives of the congregation were ruined as rumors spread about the Holy Nation behind the War against Catastrophe. They immediately hit their heads on the ground and pleaded.

“The Kingdom of Laderon is divided. ”

“So I ask the Knight Cererheim. ”

“Please help the brothers in the kingdom. ”

In succession, Juroden bites his lips tightly.

A moment later, he grabs the hand of the man in the lead. Then the horse glowed with the hot burning eyes.

“I understand. I promise I'll be here to help. On my name! ”

One last vow of allegiance.

Juroden crosses the border to Sererheim. As he became more distant and more dotted, the congregation changed their faces as if they had promised.

“Mission accomplished. ”

“Return all members to their stations. ”

A expressionless face with no emotion.

With a dry murmur, Ragni's crew hides from him.
