Dungeon Defense (WN)

* * *

People woke up at dawn.

“I'll sell it.”

The old man at the Merchant Guild approached and said, He must have been thinking about it all night. My face became thinner in one night. Maybe dealing with us was a pretty important challenge in his merchant life. However, only the eyes were glowing heavily.

Jacquari, our man, took it with pleasure.

“A wise decision. How much do you intend to sell? ”

“Whatever you want. ”

The two of them reached an agreement. There used to be intense neurological warfare with this kind of stuff and money, but on the other side was a Armor Dealer and on the other side was a Mercenary. They were all experts in weapons. It soon came at the right price.

We broke up with the merchant council and marched along the Empire. Once again, the trees were endlessly dry. We took the wagon for a leisurely ride.

Zachry says, riding a black horse.

“Lucky for you over there. If you see a wagon full of weapons in the middle of a civil war, it's a deal, and you pay for it later. ”

“Zachry, do you intend to wear armor for the Empress Dowager? ”

War is always lacking armor. If you develop a lot of weapons at that time, you will gain the right to speak. It just makes you feel better to be in a position to speak your own voice in war.

Not a bad idea. You can't be the brains of strategy. I'm sensible enough to know where my troops are. Survival varies frequently depending on right or left, or where they belong. Zachry's judgment is right.

“That's right.”

“Good, but not the best plan. ”

“Can you tell me why? ”

Zachry doesn't seem too upset. After the meeting ended last night, Jacqueli's attitude became more respectful. Yesterday, if it felt like the mercenaries were treating the employer, today it felt like the knights were treating the lord. It was a welcome change for me.

“Give the people weapons instead of handing them over to the Empress Dowager Faction. ”

“Yes?”

“Induce chaos. ”

Zachry frowns and wrinkles his eyebrows. A long time later, he opens his mouth.

“Your Majesty, rioting is extremely dangerous. Frank is different from other countries. The rural population has weak autonomy and many knights. It's perfect for suppressing chaos. Besides, the Republicans of Frank have always been noble Republicans. We never advocate for chaos. ”

Zachry was the Division Head of the Liberation Alliance. You know more about what's going on inside Frank than anyone. You've been thinking a lot about whether Republicanism is possible, whether revolution is really possible. He would have made a rational decision as head of the revolutionary alliance.

The riots are still premature.

“If the scale of chaos is small, it will be quickly suppressed. The meaning is lost, which means we have to cause a great uproar…… but in this case, if we are wrong, we can make a payment to the Royal Party. ”

After all, the goal of Republicanism is to overthrow the people. The Royal Party will attack like that. The Republicans will be shaken. They're nobles anyway. Most Republican nobles do not approve of the People's uprising.

“Perhaps the Republicans and the Republicans will stop the civil war and compromise. It turns into a roadhouse. Your Grace, the shrine opposes handing out armor to the people. ”

“But what happens when the Kingdom of Brittany intervenes? ”

I smiled.

“Yes?”

“Frank and Brittany are arch-enemies. The people stood up against Brittany on their own. ”

I'm not against nobles. Against the invaders of Brittany at all costs. Do the nobles have a reason to stop this?

“People will be given the title Medicine. ”

“ ……! ”

Zachry opens his mouth. It was open by itself. Zachry's impression was worse than ever. He has a habit of making a face when he is troubled.

“It's possible…… No, it must work! ”

He said it out loud. The hot excitement echoes in my voice.

“Empress Dowager and the Republican aristocrats will support the Medical Corps for a great deal! ”

“Ah. Nothing scares me more than the political force behind my back. ”

Peasants stand up to protect the country. The Republicans' position rises in no time. Leans toward the Empress Dowager in a near-balanced cause fight.

As the war rages, the uprising rages. Medical soldiers will win more often than not.

Obviously, the nobles have reached a point where they cannot ignore the ignorance of the medical army. Lesser nobles and the right to speak of the common people become more powerful. A number of veterans have become elite due to numerous battles. If you add the right to speak here...

“Let me ask you, do you think the Republican nobles will watch the people grow? ”

“…… No. Most would oppress the commoners. ”

“Correct.”

I smiled.

“Then the next question is: Do you think the commoners will stand by and watch the Republicans unite against you? ”

“ ……. ”

From the point of view of the medics, nothing could be more unfair. I fought for my country.

The nobles who have supported us so far are free. The nobles who used to say nice words are turning their backs because the war is over. Obvious to the vomit. You must be furious.

“If they have no combat experience. Also, if the weapon is not in hand, anger will only end with rage. But by this time, a considerable number of medical soldiers will have been raised to be elite. And they have sharp spears. ”

“A massive…… revolution……. ”

Yes, it is.

There is a revolution.

“Frank's emperor is possessed by power and has drawn to a foreign land. even though we know that foreign armies are going to tear their own people apart. The emperor's authority has already fallen here. Even if the Empress is victorious in civil war, she is not the rightful owner of the Imperial Court. Justice is lost to the Empire. ”

“ ……. ”

“Now we need to give the people a reason. ”

I wrote a manuscript for it all last night.

With the exception of the vast majority of the blind, the revolutionaries will also participate in minor nobles and wealthy commoners. They read my book and are theoretically well-armed. And he'll speak to the public, not in writing. Why we are righteous.

“Well, that's a long story. Even if it's quick, it'll take two or three years. We have to work hard for that future. ”

I smiled and looked back. Zachry and Jeremy stare blankly at this side. Somehow my face was funny.

“We simply cooperate with the Empress Dowager, not with this mindset. Commit to the defeat of the Imperial Flag in Frank and unleash a far-flung revolution. I'll show you your dreams come true. ”

* * *

Our group arrives in town for the first time.

Versie was a little baron.

The corpses are piled up around the Empire, proving that they've barely survived the tough winter. A corpse brought from the village. The bodies of the elderly and children were the most abundant.

“It's not uncommon for me to see such a thing in a paradise. ”

Maybe his family killed him on purpose, "Jeremy said. The children and the elderly were merely useless workers immediately. The military had to be dealt with first now, during the famine.

The group of fifty people dragged the horses and wagons, and there seemed to be a panic attack on the land. At the entrance to the village, dozens of soldiers stand guard over here, raising their spears. One of them was a knight in body armor. He must be the Baron.

“Stop!”

The man standing near Baron Joon came forward and shouted. He was a servant of the Lord. He was a vassal of the Lord and a deputy who led the army on behalf of Lord Yuxi. Probably the chief of a village included in the Baron Jun.

Seeing the gathering of dozens of soldiers, you seem to have an early understanding of our arrival. The lord's rule must be quite strong. Soldiers were holding proper spears and bows, not just farming tools.

“This is the land where Baron Bercy Jun-shik is the king's servant! Identify yourself!”

“I am Jacques Bonnom of the Green Beard, commander of the Mercenaries with the Double-Axe Mercenaries. ”

Zachry pushes the horse forward and pulls the parchment scroll out of his chest.

“I've been summoned by Her Majesty to pass through the Empire. I would like to stay overnight here in the territory. Please don't disregard the Queen Dowager's will. ”

A servant walks out this way. The servant handed the scroll over to Zachry and presented it to Baron Jun. Baron Bercy took off his helmet and read the scroll. Bright blonde was a nice guy.

Baron Bercy nods once. He said.

“Obviously, the system (+2493; ) has been ordered to see the convenience of the mercenaries' passage. ”

I think I just turned 30. My voice was heavy because I was in the center. I learned the nobleman's posture naturally. Even the baron and the nobleman were among the top nobles who stood in line with the knights.

“It also clearly contains the names of the Double-Axe mercenaries. But Zach Bonnom, mercenary commander. I am not interested in any meaningless political struggles in the middle. There is no reason to obey a central command more than is necessary, and no reason to obey anyone other than His Majesty the Emperor. ”

“Oh.”

I whistled quietly. He doesn't have a mean tone. Whether they are confident in their abilities or strong nobles behind their backs. Well, if you think about it, he was the one who occupied the middle node of the Empire. How can I be so incompetent...?

Jacquarly looks back at the grave.

“It's none of your business. We are acting on the Empress's orders, and you accept us or not. Of course, His Royal Highness will show great interest in how Prince June behaves. ”

He was very publicly threatening.

However, Baron Varsey did not take a step back.

“Let's be honest. Our territory can't afford to feed and put to sleep fifty soldiers. You are no more than an uninvited guest. ”

“You're being completely honest. ”

Here, Zachry smiled. Funny guy came out.

“So what are you going to do? Are they going to kick us out like this? Fear the wrath at the center. ”

“Of course I'm afraid. But don't be ridiculous, mercenary commander. There are two suns in Frank. Accept it or not, the central anger does not dissuade us. ”

In short, I did not want to be Emperor and Empress Dowager.

“You are welcome to stay overnight in front of the village. I'll give you some warm soup. However, you cannot enter the village. Do you understand the situation here, mercenary commander? ”

“There is nothing in the world that doesn't make sense, Baron Joon. ”

Zachry smiles. From here, it was a deal. What the other side wanted and what we wanted. All that was left was how to convince each other.

“I've been homeless for days. His muscles are tight and his waist is toast. Only I trust that Baron Joon will understand this side of the heart if he wants to let me stay in a warm place for even one night without knowing when I will go into battle. ”

“What's in it for me to understand your situation? ”

“Our mercenaries are delivering a little black herb. ”

It's true. The plague is still roaming the continent. Once the plague hits the army, it's over. I loaded enough Black Herb into the wagon just in case.

“Hmm.”

Baron Bercy folds his arms and rolls his right foot.

“Charming offer. My territory needs a Black Herb. If you give me some Black Herb, I'll even mix some chicken in my soup. But Susie doesn't fit in after buying the Emperor's anger. Isn't there a better way? ”

“This man here is a priest of the Temple of Artemis, not a mercenary. ”

Zachry points at me with his hands. I was wearing a black robe a few hours ago, though. It was a forged identity Jeremy had in place for me. As the Demon King, I was never as funny as being a priest of the temple. And I loved funny things. I bow my head to the lord.

“Pilgrimage to comfort the poor souls in this difficult time. ”

“In other words, we are not giving accommodation to the mercenaries, but to the pilgrims? ”

“Exactly. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Baron Bercy scowls over here.

“Excellent.”

He opens his arms wide.

“Apostle Artemis! And the holy warriors who protect him! Versy Land welcomes you! ”
