Chapter. 88

Signs of betrayal

About two days after that.

The atmosphere of the capital remained heavily submerged.

But there was a war going on, but nothing like this happened. The reason was simple: the Northern troops who were on the outskirts of the capital stopped marching and went into standby.

‘Waiting for the Holy Nation's subordinates. ’

If we attack without warning in this situation, we will be defeated before the Holy Nation comes to our aid. Is that so? Duke Darcas, commander of the Eastern Army, has insisted we go out and fight the Northern soldiers.

‘But there was a disagreement. ’

I heard that Earl Seor, the Western military commander who joined the capital two days ago, opposed it. It was a favorable position as the Water Temple, but it was because it didn't have to be premeditated to do damage.

‘I understand both, but. ’

To be honest, I wanted to raise Duke Darcas' hand.

Even if the damage is somewhat intense, we must reduce our troops as much as possible before joining the Holy Nation, so the battle will be advantageous going forward.

When I was so lost in thought.

“Are you sure you want to do this? ”

His voice wakes him up.

He sits in a chair and talks to Burraine. However, the appearance of Burraine changed a bit. Unlike two days ago when he was unstable but in the shape of Rich, he was now a complete ghost.

[Yes, I'm satisfied with this. I can't stay rich long.]

Burraine also knew that life vessels were crude.

Is that so? After providing all of Serrhaim's information, he asks to become a ghost of himself. It wasn't that difficult, so I was happy to hear it, but the reality was a little sad.

Burlane, on the other hand, is a grumpy face.

Immediately, he uttered a hateful voice.

[I still want to see the Holy Land burn like this.]

Borat Eyelight burns with fierce vengeance.

You've lived like a slave for the last 20 years, and you deserve it.

[And I'm really sorry, but...]

At that time, Burlane unleashes a cautious battle.

Seeing your hesitation, you seem to have a favor to ask. In fact, he said it first as if he knew what Verlane was going to ask.

“Don't worry about your brothers in the Sanctuary. I'll save you if you're alive. ”

[Thank you for your generosity!]

A heartfelt thank you returns.

Hearing the two conversations, Ferda took a cup of coffee without saying anything.

They were currently having tea time in the backyard of the mansion. Bernia warned me not to intervene in the battle with the Northern Army, so I had nothing to do with it now.

When I was relaxing looking at the red watering sky.

Burren turns the topic of conversation elsewhere.

[But, my king.]

“Huh?"

[What happened to your homework assignment yesterday?]

Burlane was a rather unique commander.

While ordinary commanders dealt with dead men and ghosts, he dealt only with dead bugs. So he wanted to teach this personality to practice as well.

Ferda also allowed me to feel useful one day.

In other words, you will learn quickly. I have an overwhelming talent for command.

However, there were unexpected variables.

“· · · · · · · Do you really have to do that? ”

It's the fact that he hates bugs terribly.

I could see how much I hated the look on his face. On the other hand, Burlane nods fiercely at the side of the fence.

[Absolutely. You need to know how insects move so you can handle them better.]]

“It's still too gross. ”

[Hahaha, but there's something even cuter about it every day. Now, take a look at this serrated antennae. Isn't he cute in secret?]

“No, where's the cute one?! ”

In reality, he insisted that it was absurd.

Then I even gestured to Burraine, who sniffed the bug, to put it away. It's going to take me a while to learn this skill. As I burst into laughter, I heard the familiar footsteps from a distance.

“I'm back, Joo. ”

“Ah! Welcome, Isha. ”

Is it because they can be freed from Burrows?

In reality, unlike usual, Isha greeted Isha with a poisonous colored face. Immediately, he asked with an anticipated expression.

“Did you get what I asked you for? ”

“Hehe, of course. I've swept the streets, swept them clean. ”

Isha grins and pulls out a small box.

What's in the box are little vials of glass. It was filled with dark brown powder. When he saw this, he cried out with both eyes like stars.

“Let's eat quickly. I haven't had a sip of this to eat. ”

I pushed milk in front of me.

Ferda, who saw the act, smiled slightly.

‘I was a little surprised when I first saw him. ’

Cocoa powder is nothing more than what brown powder is.

It tasted more crude than it did on Earth, but it tasted quite familiar when mixed with sugar and milk and drank moderately. It was even more surprising because it was something I hadn't seen in the Kingdom of Laderon.

“Hah, it's delicious. ”

A smile blossomed on my face.

After a while, he said with a face that reminded him of what he had forgotten.

“Oh, right. And then I figured out how to drink better. ”

“Yes? What is it? ”

Isha tilts her head as she drinks cocoa together.

Then he shouted with a smile.

“Put your magic potion here. ”

“· · · · · · Magical potion? ”

Isha was shivering.

Of course. Potions are just potions, not food. On the other hand, he still spoke with a smile.

“Yes, play the trick and try it. ”

In a confident answer, Isha pulls out a magic potion with a anti-Semitic face.

The potion was then poured into cocoa and it turned into a strange color. After looking at the snowflake, Isha immediately drank cocoa. Then, I opened my eyes wide and said.

“Oh, really? Surprisingly good combination. ”

“Heehee, right? ”

He looks proud.

Ferda, on the other hand, frowns. It was because I knew what a magical potion tasted like.

‘Tastes like toothpaste in warm milk. ’

It was the worst.

Is that why? Ferda sighs with an incomprehensible look on her face.

“What's so good about tasting toothpaste? ”

“Huh? Not at all. ”

“The Lord understands. Your homeroom teacher has a very unusual taste. ”

It's not me, it's you.

I wanted to tell you that, but I endured it. Then, while sipping coffee again, something caught my eye later.

The undead of the sphere, standing far away.

A few days ago, it was Durahan who recovered Isha by processing the corpse of Count Retted, the Capital Defense Commander who attacked the castle.

“You got it done sooner than I expected. ”

“That's why my design was perfect. ”

Isha brazenly replied.

Ferda stares at you as if it's absurd. Did he feel embarrassed? Isha smiles beautifully and tells the truth.

“It's also because the Lord lent me his magic. ”

Durahan belongs to the highest undead.

It takes more than ten days to make it with Isha's magical powers. Then I was willing to lend my magic because I couldn't use it in the wars to come.

“More than just resurrected, I suppose. ”

“Hehe, you have good eyes. ”

According to Ferda, Isha grins.

Then he calls Durahan over here and adds an explanation.

“I enchanted the sword with ice. As long as you have magical power, your whole body freezes as soon as you're struck by a sword. And you put ice on the side of your head, and you get frostbite just by touching it. ”

It's a good idea.

It was also a good decision to put ice magic on Durahan's head, which could be his only weakness. Ferda nods her head and draws a scrub with her face that she suddenly has a good idea.

“Then can you cast ice magic here, too? ”

That'll make it easier to fight.

The answer came back negative, even though I had anticipated the outcome.

“Your homeroom teacher's blackness is so high that the magic won't catch on. ”

Arcane's Blade is a legendary sword.

That is why no magic of any kind is given. Ferda then shoves the scalpel in her face. Meanwhile, Isha said as if she had remembered what she had forgotten.

“Oh, right. And there was something strange about that. ”

“What's weird? ”

“Yes, there are western soldiers on the streets. ”

What's so weird about that?

As I tilted my head, I continued to turn.

“Of course you are. You just joined us. ”

“No, that's not what I meant. They were just scattered all over the place. in the marketplaces, in the back alleys, near rivers and parks. ”

In response, Ferda narrows her eyes.

Most of the Eastern and Southern forces are currently stationed near the North Gate.

Another troop was stationed at the East Gate and West Gate, just in case. However, the western army was a little curious about the scattered streets.

At that time, reality once again commented.

“Isn't it possible that you're resting? ”

You may have given the soldiers a break as long as you've run a long distance.

It was a reasonable guess, but Isha shakes her head.

“I don't think so. because they were too well-armed for resting. I could go to war right now. ”

That's definitely a little suspicious.

When Ferda twitched her eyebrows.

“Boss, this is Kalman. ”

With the sound of the bush shaking, Kalman reveals himself.

Kneeling on the ground, he spoke with a somewhat stiff face.

“I found something a little suspicious and wanted to report it. ”

You found something suspicious, too?

Ferda asked back with a face that he did not believe.

“Is this about the western army? ”

“Ah! Yes, that's right. Did you know?”

“I just heard from Issa and I know it's strange. ”

Even Isha and Kalman seem really suspicious. Ferda closes her mouth tightly and listens to Kalman's continued report.

“As Issa said, the western army is now spread across the capital. It has also been confirmed that the barracks of the Viceroy, including Marquis Seor, have also moved from the North Gate to the West Gate. ”

Suddenly, you moved the command barracks?

When the enemy is stationed just outside the North Gate? It was an act that made no sense. Ferda frowns for a moment, then asks a new question.

“Did they flock together? ”

“That's right. It looked like they were moving in small squads. ”

This answer makes it clear that the soldiers are not resting.

So what's the point of placing them all over the street? When I felt a strange feeling, Kalman continued to report again.

“The outfit was a little weird, too. Soldiers near the North Gate wore proper military uniforms, while soldiers in the capital were walking around dressed like civilians. Armed, of course. ”

Western forces stationed all over the street.

Do not act alone, move in groups.

And dressed like a civilian, but fully armed.

Given all of this, there was only one answer.

“· · · · · · · Ready for market share? ”

I've had similar experiences on Earth in the past.

At the time of the monsters' massive emergence from the city center, Hunters were stationed in their platoon to fight monsters on the streets. At that time, monsters were almost as intelligent as humans, so I remembered that they were dressed as civilians.

Meanwhile, Issa's eyes widen in Ferda's guess.

“Yes? Civil War? ”

“Why would you do something like that? You have such a high odds. ”

In fact, I kept arguing nonsense.

As he said, the current situation was overwhelmingly high on Bernia's side. Perhaps if the gates were later breached, it would be better to prepare the water temple from the gates now.

When the bear was reviewing the current situation.

‘No way. ’

Ferda's face darkens for a moment.

There was a word that struck the brain at the same time.

Do you intend to betray me? ’

It wasn't speculation. It was speculation.

However, one condition was lacking to turn this guess into certainty. Then Ferda looks back at Kalman and asks in haste.
