Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter. 91

Ambush

The night the darkness sank heavily.

By the time everyone was asleep, North Quilton Port was incredibly bright, even in the middle of the day. There were many boats anchored in the harbor, and the number of boats stretched as far as the harbor ( ).

Over a hundred large fleets.

The number of troops who boarded the ship was enormous. All of the troops were flying one flag beyond counting. A silver flag crossed by the sun and the cross.

It was the flag of the Norse Empire.

And there was someone who was watching this from afar.

A harp elf with golden hair and green eyes.

This is Jane Farrah, a first-rate informant for the intelligence group. She scoured the harbor thoroughly, keeping an eye on a special telescope that she could observe for up to three kilometers.

Then you hear the voices of the other informants hanging from the communication device.

Commander, we've calculated the approximate size of the Imperial Army.

Twice as many as we reported at dawn.

On her return, Jane groans deeply.

He would, too, because the number of Imperial troops he reported at dawn was not too small.

So it's at least 200,000? ’

Jane's face falls into the shade.

I thought the scale of the war was getting bigger.

‘Of course, the boss and the Earl can stop it enough, but · · · · · · · · · ’

There will be more blood in the process than ever before. Another report followed as Jane's complexion rapidly darkened in the dark future.

First objective found.

Intelligence is the primary surveillance target.

I grabbed the telescope cold as I said I'd found him.

“What's your location?"

Twelfth flag, just off the silver ship.

The telescope moves around according to reports.

After a while, Jane's vision flashes.

A middle-aged man with a completely torn shirt. Bloody reddish man, with hair and eyes.

‘Red Giant of the Empire, Sachsen Houlaka. ’

According to the latest information, it is the new Grand Master who led the empire to victory in the East Continent War. He was worthy of the Duke of Setier.

I was thinking about Sachsen, and I heard the report again.

There's a second target right behind you.

This time it was a woman.

Women in their mid-30s with golden hair and turquoise eyes. Jane glares at her face, clothed in a blue robe (24043; ), and holding a silver staff.

‘Lohan Sen Rahu Norka. ’

Second Imperial Princess.

At the same time, he was the most powerful shaman in the empire. A figure just like Sachsen who played an important role in unifying the Eastern Continent.

‘Are the giants supporting the Empire gathered together? ’

There's an army of 200,000.

That's how important the Empire is to this war.

Huh? But it's a little weird.

Then I heard a voice with a curious color.

Shortly thereafter, the informant's speculation report followed.

It looks like they're splitting the army in two.

“Excuse me?”

Jane opens her eyes wide.

The Norse Empire is here to support the Holy Cererheim. There was no reason to divide the army. So I asked him straight back.

“Did you see something wrong? ”

No, we're definitely dividing it up.

I just checked.

It seems that each of the two targets intends to be in charge of an army.

Informants are all over the place.

If they all say the same thing, I have to believe them.

Then why are we dividing the army into two? ’

If you're just giving away command, there's no reason to do it. Just when I was thinking about various guesses for a short time, urgent reports of informants suddenly came in.

Bo, look!

Sachsen Howlaca's forces have turned west!

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Jane opens her eyes.

It was the only one west, centered on Quilton Port.

“Don't tell me you're aiming for Laderon. ”

It's not a wild guess.

The kingdom is empty now.

It was no exaggeration to say that Laderon is currently empty.

It was because Duke Setier and his knights were on their way to Jerome as far as Earl Keshmif and the Magic Legion of the Horsemen.

Did he notice the severity of the situation?

Jane immediately gave her instructions without hesitation.

“We have to inform the boss. The first group stays here, and the second and third groups immediately retreat and contact Kalman. ”

Article 1 consisted of elite informants, including Jane.

They were obliged to watch over the Empire army until the end, so the relatively less helpful couples decided to retreat.

But it was a little strange.

I should have heard the answer immediately when I was told not to, but it was because I did not hear any answer.

“Two, can't you hear me? ”

Jane raises her voice again.

Then, suddenly, I heard a scream being torn from the communication device.

Aaaaahhhh!

Raid! Raid! Huff!

We got a location! Captain, run!

It did not continue to be reported.

Jane's head is white. And at that moment, I met someone through the telescope.

“ · · · · · ·!? ”

It was Lohan, the second empire princess and shaman.

You think they found us this far away?

For a moment I felt disbelief, but soon I realized that guess was real. It was because Lohan, who was looking this way, cut his head with his thumb with a cynical finger.

Creepy!

Suddenly, I felt goosebumps all over me.

Lohan's warning was also a warning, but it was because he realized that Howlaca had disappeared.

“All sources, scatter them now! ”

Jane turns to face the ground.

Then I vomited out an elongated urgent shout.

“Cancel all missions with the current visual. Survive and return to HQ! ”

The Grand Master is in pursuit.

It may be difficult for everyone to survive. Maybe Jane will meet her end here, too. But I was going to fight as hard as I could, so I scrambled through the mountain pass with my teeth.

Fabababad!

Jane runs without looking back.

The magic tools that share their location with each other have been thrown away long ago. I thought we could be tracked down. When I was running for ten minutes, I heard a strange voice above the stars.

“I hear the Elves are fast on their feet. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Reflexively, you raise your head.

The man whose eyes were then shined on was a man who wore a shirt.

It was Sachsen Houlaka.

“Not necessarily. ”

With his fierce predator smile, he charged Jane at an untraceable speed.

Wood Duck!

Severe impact broke my left arm and right leg.

While moaning in agony, Sachsen treads on the remaining left leg roughly. Then he pushes his face toward Jane.

“There were a few things I wanted to do when I came to the West. ”

Sachsen grabs Jane by the chin.

She looks at her shivering eyes and smiles.

“One of them was to tame an elf, but his wish came true sooner than I thought. ”

Sachsen's face was sadistically distorted.

Faced with this, Jane sighs suddenly. Then he mutters in a very calm tone.

“· · · · · · I guess that's it for me. ”

“What? Are you giving up already? ”

Sachsen frowns like steam.

“Disappointed. I hear the Elves are very determined, but this is no different from a street courtesan." ”

“To the Holy Spirit of the Night! ”

Before he finishes, Jane lets out a loud shout.

“Half the Imperium is headed for Laderon! Commander Sachsen Houlaka, Grand Master of the Empire. Please tell the boss about this! ”

After saying something, Jane grins.

It was a smile with no regrets.

“May the kingdom and Ragney have infinite glory. ”

With a note that sounds like a will, Jane chews the pill hidden in her molar. The pill bursts and the poison seeps into her system. She calls, trembling and sagging.

“Tsk, that's nasty. Are all Elves like this? ”

Zachsen's last words strike his tongue as if it were no fun.

Then you stomp Jane's head with your feet, like a fury.

Pussy!

With the sound of the watermelon exploding, the mountain shatters its head.

Sachsen frowns and mutters.

“What the hell are you talking about? I know for a fact that you mentioned my name and the Spirit of the Night. ”

I don't know the rest because it's the language of Elves.

Sachsen scratches his head and shrugs.

“Era, I don't know. I'll have to ask Lohan later. ”

If she is conscious of all things, she will undoubtedly solve the question.

Sachsen turns to return to Quilton Harbor.

Leaving nothing but a dead man's head.

* * *

Meanwhile, the time.

After eating and relaxing from morning to day, Ferda was busy repairing the walls with Silvan and Isha. If I wanted to finish my work before the battle began, I could now finish my work.

When I was working so hard.

Suddenly, the spirit of the night appeared in the bridge.

“Ferda, Jane's down. ”

The bridge spoke in a gloomy tone.

Ferda, who heard this, twitched her eyebrows.

‘If Jane is definitely · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

There aren't many first-rate informants in Ragnier.

He was also the one who reported on the size of the Imperial Army through Kalman this morning. Then, Karlman swoops in.

“Darian, can you tell us more? ”

Kalman is an important executive of Ragney.

I deserved to hear the story. The bridge nods once, then pulls itself out. Shortly after his story ended, the atmosphere of the intestine sank heavily.

“I see. Half the Imperial Army goes to Laderon. ”

I never thought it would come to this.

If you think about it, I think Ferda would have done the same thing. If you're going to be an enemy later on, you'd better deal with it when it's a little easier to use your hands.

“I'll have to call Duke Setier. ”

“Yes, I'll be right there! ”

Isha pulls out the crystal ball in her silent words.

After a while, the crystal ball lit up as soon as the installation was finished.

Then came the young wizard with horn-rimmed glasses.

Sir Ferda, what is going on here tonight?

Earl Keshmif, Lord of the Seven Horses.

Meanwhile, Ferda finds him and gets to the point.

“Imperial forces are headed for the Laderon Kingdom. ”

· · · · · · Yes?

“An army of about half a million, to be exact. The commander is the Grand Master of the Empire, Sachsen Houlaka. ”

Now, wait a minute. What does that mean all of a sudden?

Queshamif looks at the reality as if he were in a bewilderment.

In fact, the information I heard from the bridge was in my mouth gradually.

Approximately ten minutes later, the late Duke of Sethia was brought to justice. The duc sighs with a grim face.

Phew, this was unexpected.

This is bad. The only troops left in the kingdom right now.

Currently, there are about 50,000 regular troops left in the city.

If you recruit troops from each territory, you will barely reach 100,000. The numbers boiled, but the problem was that there was no one strong enough to stand up to Saxon Howlaca.

When the heavy silence soaked the intestine.

He speaks to the duc beyond the crystal sphere.

“With all due respect, I think the duc should return to the kingdom. ”

When he thought about it, the only one who could stop Sachsen was Duke Setier.

The duc lets out a low groan.

Hmph, I can't help it. That's probably for the best.

But he nods slowly, even though it was the same idea.

Then Keshmif, who was watching the conversation, intervened coldly.

Then I will lead the rest of the troops to Jerome.

“Yes, I look forward to your visit. ”

With the Empire's raid coming true, Raderon's reinforcements were divided in two.

Duke Setier, his knights, and most of his army have decided to return to the Kingdom of Laderone, with only Keshamif and the towers of the tower, followed by a handful of magical soldiers, to join Jerome.

‘Not bad so far. ’

We just have to assume that the Kingdom of Laderone and the Duke of Setier will deal with 100,000 Imperial forces and the Grand Master. That is, this side of the burden is reduced.

Later, Duke Setier continued.

Please be careful. The Empire is never a worthy opponent.

“Very well. Be careful, Mr. President. ”

Communication has been lost with skilled countermeasures in practice.

About two days after that.

A magical army led by Earl Keshamif has arrived in Jerome's capital.
