Dungeon Defense (WN)

But I was really busy after winning.

Our army has taken quite a few prisoners. This was a thorough interrogation.

Sometimes one piece of information is more important than one win. We only know when Henrietta will lead the base, but we will broaden our strategy even more. Torture of the prisoners will be necessary. Human rights? If they have rights, they only have the right to die.

“Rrrrgh!”

Tortured the general, no information came out. You have targeted the commander's prisoners. The majority were nobles.

“I don't want much from you. ”

I groan with a flaming iron rod.

“I just want to know how things are going in the palace of Frank. How is the Empress Dowager doing? How is the Emperor's condition so serious? It's a simple question, isn't it? ”

“Ugh... Ugh... Son of a bitch. ”

The noble captive bites the foam, but does not vomit any information at all.

Remarkable. Just superhuman patience. If I was tortured by iron spikes, I was confident that I would tell you all the information without hesitation.

“Very well. We salute your patience. I would like to offer you a different gift in the sense of my respect. Please do not thank me. ”

That night, full-course torture took place in luxury.

After feeding the prisoner to the limit, he summoned the Orcs and raped them. Every time I didn't divulge information, I immediately executed an innocent general in front of my eyes. If I lost my mind due to excessive pain, I used the circumcision to torture even in my dreams.

The results were simple and clear.

“…… for three years when the Empress Dowager was abolished…… in the Starpalace, not a single step……. ”

“The emperor has been poisonous for days.... ”

“Please. I'll tell you anything. Forgive me! ”

It took only two hours for the six noble prisoners to spit out all the information.

I cross-validated my information. It was about asking six people the same question and comparing the answers they gave. It was a necessary step because one person might be lying. And it turned out that they were all telling the truth.

Hey, I was satisfied. Thanks to this, I was able to get a lot of information.

Why would he go against it if he was gonna spit it out anyway? It would have been convenient if you had cooperated from the start. I like that they don't get tortured, and I like that they don't waste their time torturing. It's win-win everywhere. Humans are so weird.

“My Lady Dantalian. ”

The messenger came in after being obsessed with torture for a long time. An elf. An excellent sense of smell frowns as soon as he enters the torture chamber. It was filled with the smell of blood, medicines, and Orc discharge.

I put the rod down.

“What's going on? ”

“Begging your pardon. The sentry has captured a suspect. I surrendered at my feet because I wanted to meet a human girl who fought today. He asked me to treat him as a prisoner, respectfully. ”

I frowned. You know Daisy? There can't be such a man. Daisy has lived in a mountain war village her whole life.

It was time to congratulate him on his nonsense. I was surprised when the messenger revealed the Surrender's name.

“He introduced himself as Baron Bercy. ”

* * *

“Baron Joon! How long has it been? ”

Baron Bercy kneels at the barracks with his limbs bound. The posture gives way, but the arrogance on my face flows without a word. It looked like a giant tree that had gone through all sorts of windwaves and firmly settled on the ground.

Baron Bercy was surprised when I entered the barracks.

“Jean Bolé? Are you Priest Jean Bolé? ”

“Unless there are two Jean Boleys in the world, yes. Absolutely."

I smiled and replied. I was wearing an inflatable sphere exclusively for Jean Bole.

Baron Bercy mutters.

“I thought we might meet, but I didn't really think there would be a priest... …. ”

“I had no idea. I can't believe we're reuniting at a place like this. Leave it to me. ”

I took out my dagger and carefully cut the rope tied to baron's body. Soon, Baron became free.

“... Thank you. However, no matter how much we look at it, can we let it go so easily? ”

“I trust Baron Bercy. ”

I smiled.

“I met Prince Joon four years ago. He must have been a worn out and wise lord. If Baron Joon is so weak that he can't survive four years, then my actions would be foolish. What do you think? Baron Bercy is short handed? ”

“I can't stand Priest Jean Bole. ”

Baron Bercy smiles bitterly. I didn't need to talk anymore. We hugged each other with open arms. I felt a thick, sinister hand on my back. In addition, I could hear the ring and sound effects.

"Baron Bercy's appeal has increased by 7.

Baron opened his arms and looked at my face. He smiles, but looks bitter.

“Priest Jean Bolé. I'm not the only one curious. How did the Demon King...? No. Are you in the army of Rudolf von Habsburg? ”

“I have a lot of questions, too. The friendly people of Versy are doing well. It won't go away for an hour or two. ”

We sat face to face on the table. I took out the wine and served it to him. After a few toasts with the mistress, we entered into a conversation.

“Hiding secrets here won't do you any good. Baron Joon, I'm actually deeply connected with the Republic of Batavia. ”

“…… indeed. I knew it.”

Baron Bercy nods.

“Oh. Did you know that? ”

“I had no idea. However, even after the priest left, I heard a rumor about the priest's movements. I thought the gathering of the nobles in the north of Frank and leading Batavia against Brittany was no ordinary human skill.... ”

Baron Bercy touched the wine glass.

“Priest Jean Bole, if you were in charge, the story would be different. You are capable of destabilizing the North. Do you remember what you said to me when you left Versie? ”

“Of course.”

I grinned.

“If you do not believe in God, you must not believe in the ranks too, because they insist that God has set the ranks. ”

“Precisely. I don't know if you know. After your party left, I looked into Frank's situation and saw how troubled he was……. ”

Bingo.

I clenched my fist in my mind. Baron Bercy was, in other words, one of the men I sowed in the civil war four years ago. The seed is called Republicism. As the world became cloudier, the darker the fog grew as fertilizer.

Baron Bercy was a talented lord. You must have been proud to protect your people all your life. What would a man like that think when he looks at Frank's emperor?

To protect his power, he committed extradition without hesitation, and even to a family that lured Mother into exile. Is it okay to swear allegiance to such a man? Can I leave the fate of this country to the emperor and the safety of the people...?

The bud I planted must have bloomed successfully.

I wanted to scream for joy right now, but I endured it. If I hit it right here, it was too revealing. Let's change the subject for a second.

“If you don't mind me asking, how did you get here? ”

“The Emperor summoned me. All the lords of Eastern Frank had to borrow an army. By the way, I won the title Baron three years ago. Thanks to you, I was able to bring quite a lot of territory to the battlefield.... ”

Baron Bercy takes a big sip of wine. Maybe winning for him wasn't such an honorable thing. The emperor was brought down as a puppet and the Empress was victorious. In other words, it was done by Brittany.

“A price for neutrality...... You deserve to be hurt. ”

Most of the northern aristocrats have joined the rebellion in the last civil war. Despite its location in the north-eastern corner, Barsi remained neutral until the end of the civil war. I didn't do anything. That's what she was evaluated for.

Baron Bercy helped himself.

“As my countrymen fall for the country, I stand resolute in my commitment to protecting my people. ”

“It's a natural choice as Lord. ”

“No, silly. I never thought the Queen of Brittany would grow to this extent. My people saw a future I hadn't seen...... I was just being selfish. ”

We smashed the cup silently. The glass pierces.

“Daisy. Surprised to see him fight. I thought maybe you'd be here. You're not a great person to leave your stepdaughter alone. Quite an escape from the Stragglers' March. ”

“ ……. ”

I filled the wine and looked at Baron Bercy's two eyes.

“Mr. President, we're done acting. ”

“…… smoke? ”

“You said I wouldn't leave my stepdaughter alone, but I want to return the same. The President must have led the territory into battle. If it is known that the President has escaped, the people of the territory will never survive. ”

The commander escaped. The colonists will be treated in ridicule.

“I can't believe that President Bercy would abandon his territory and just flee to meet me. You are the nobleman's virtue, who takes the duties of nobility above all else holy. ”

“ ……. ”

“Perhaps you've convinced the other commanders. Maybe he insisted that I might be here, and he forced himself to negotiate with me. The commanders would have tolerated a temporary desertion by the river. ”

They're not the Brittany, they're the Franks.

The current situation in the fight for Queen Brittany will be hard to understand. If we were the Demon King's army, it would be possible to fight under the guise of "for all mankind," even if we were meant to be the Queen of Brittany.

Yesterday, however, we were weighed somewhat by the battle of humanity. Frank's men must have been worried sick. If we continue to fight, we will be fighting for the Queen of Brittany. What does this mean…….

In that situation, Baron Bercy Jun killed himself. Considering Baron Bercy's usual behavior, his colleagues must have had a lot of trust. His colleagues trusted him and sent him here....

“In short, you are not a surrender, you are a special envoy to the Franks. Is that wrong?”

“... I really can't stand Priest Jean Bolet. ”

Baron Bercy laughs in vain.

He puts down his wine glass and suddenly grabs my two hands. Baron Bercy's eyes were burning cold but intensely.

“Frank is in an incapacitation crisis. If we go on like this, we won't be able to scream once, and we'll be lost in the back of history. If that's all, I'll gladly escort Frank on his way out. But history always demands the blood of its people. ”

“ ……. ”

“Priest Jean Bolé. Work with us to drive out the Mad Queen of Brittany and return Frank to Frank's people. ”

It was a proposition I really wanted.
