“The enemy cavalry has retreated. ”

It was a report that sounded unrealistic. One of the scourges in the rear disappeared. Nevertheless, General Commander Palmer frowned.

It's good to be back, but he hasn't been back for two days.

“Bring me Renewin. ”

“Yes!"

Soon, Renewin Wolves arrives.

“You wanted to see me?”

He is the best hero who has killed five Ludwig Knights in this battlefield.

“Lord Benatos has gone missing from the Caucasus he raised. ”

Twitch.

Renewin looks up at the Commander.

“Is there a large force of hostiles coming up behind you? ”

“No, it's not.

“Have you seen the Vise user? ”

“Neither is that. ”

Renewin glances at you, the Commander says.

“I summoned you because I couldn't understand. ”

“Do you want me to step up and find out? ”

“Yes.”

Renewin bows his head and shows an example and retreats. It was a sign that I knew. I understood the Commander's concerns.

I couldn't fight the enemy with my luggage in my back.

“Ask Lord Ilyan to give me two hundred soldiers. ”

Renewin makes his move on Squire. He dragged his horse from behind the battlefield in less than half a day.

Five soldiers who are skilled in pursuing the trail look everywhere. Immediately, a soldier approached and told him.

“Here you go.”

“Something here. ”

It was in the form of a round basin. Someone who is proficient in the nearby terrain asked.

“This place is called the Fog Well, and when the fog comes in at dawn, it doesn't fall very well, so it's named after it. ”

It's full of corpses.

“Spacing. ’’

“Yes, Master. ”

“Find Lord Benatos' body. ”

Squire soon enters it. The warmer weather smells nasty, but you pick up the body without hesitation.

“I do.”

“The rest?”

“Yes, this is the soldier he raised. ”

‘Everyone died here. ’

“I think I'm in a trap. ”

Zagan said.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes."

Zagan was a thief. That's why I couldn't find my eyes to read the trace.

“I need to know what happened here. ”

Renewin nods, his head bowing.

“Yes."

Renaissance leaves two hundred Marines behind and returns with his 50 knights. The rest of the house searches the fog wells for a body that smells nasty for half a day. After that, I came back as I saw.

“The troublemakers must have retreated. ”

“What happened? ”

The only thing Renewin could think of was how prepared he was to kill the knights and the elite soldier bag.

“That's …. ”

Before he could say what he knew, Zagan was worried and blurred. Soon, he held his heart and opened his mouth.

Renewin, his master, was a man who didn't like to talk back.

“Someone blew smoke in there and took on the bag by themselves. ”

“... What are you saying? ”

Renewin asks without concealing any confusion.

“There were traces of herbs used to make smoke bullets. Half the people who were there were hit by a thin throwing dagger, which was usually used by bandits. It was all one person. ”

In other words, Zagan recounted what he had learned. Renewin, who heard everything, said:

“The enemy is a man who throws his dagger and spears well, and can fight freely in the smoke? ”

“That's what it looks like to me. ”

He lowers his head. Renewin looks back at the gap and thinks:

Was it real? ’

It was rumored that Squire had killed a hundred people, the Devil of Black Smoke, and Sercado.

‘Because the color of the smoke grenade is black, he gave it a nickname and killed Bag by himself. ’

Whether it's a lie or a fact. There was no better way to demoralize the enemy and boost their morale.

Just, just, just, just.

Renewin taps the tip of the jingled boot with his finger. It was a habit to get drunk when I think about it.

“Gap.”

“Yes."

Commander's concerns have come true. This one had to be caught now. Even if you did it by accident, you're holding the bag by yourself? The soldiers led by the knights there.

Benatos Despair is a mere lowlife knight, but the unusual technique of handling a sword and a shortsword is more pressing than an intermediate knight for the first time.

“Is that smoke blocking the bay of sight? ”

“Yes, it looked that way. ”

“Will he attack again? ”

“If there's good bait, so be it. ”

Renewin nods.

“Zagan, if I let you do this, can you do it? ”

“Of course.”

He had weak power, but he was good at digging traps. I don't know how many battlefield victories I've had with his schemes.

“Bring me his neck. ”

“Yes."

Renewin could never let this go. The courage to drive the cavalry to the rear and penetrate an ally's camp with a second strike against Bags alone.

Boldness in implementing the plan even when elite Despair soldiers pursue it.

A rare talent. Talent to the enemy is a disaster to allies. I had to cut it when I saw it.

“He must be the one who cut off the scouts. ”

Renewin has been drawing a faceless opponent for several days.

‘Minimum article level. ’

A few days later, Ga-in comes to see that the wire is getting weaker.

“I took the bait. ”

“There you are.”

Renewin gives orders to disguise his knights. Ten knights in leather armor joined the ambush like regular infantry. I've placed a small and medium-intermediate knight there.

“Take command, but slaughter when the enemy appears. Al.”

“I understand.”

Eggs is a Wolves Knight who defeats Venatos ten times over a fever. Renewin stops worrying.

“Van Ludwig is on the move! ”

The enemy moves just in time. Renewin drives his horse forward again.

“Today I will rip the sheep's throat out behind that damn wall! ”

Renewin is one of the main men leading the battlefield, but he can't afford to leave on his own. He just ran forward as usual to meet Sercado.

“Look at this. ”

I send out the rest of the cavalry, moving with just Lind, Digo and the axe.

I tread on the ground, examine the trail, and laugh bloody.

“Why?”

“It's a trap.”

"Huh?"

Two days, I was on the move, following the trail of my enemies. My operation was simple. If a war breaks out on the front lines, you try to kill the commander behind you. It was half-crazy to jump into a battlefield full of fights, but it was calculated that the four of us would be able to do it.

By the way.

One of my enemies recognized my existence. I feel it in this trap. If I move like this, the blade will pierce my heart.

“What trap? ”

“Seduction.”

I can tell by the way you're following me. It's absurd to lead me. The trap tells me there's a small force here that you can target.

In other words, the enemy is guessing the direction of my personality and behavior.

‘You know I'd come at you with a small army. ’

How did you do that?

Despair, if anyone has read the trail we left them behind, it's possible. I didn't know there was anyone else on the field with this kind of talent.

You set a trap for me? ’

“How do I do that? ”

Digo asks. I shake my hand and look at the floor for a moment.

I did all sorts of things in my past life, but not all of them were the best. But I think he was useful in a mercenary system that uses all of that to solve a quest.

I was a mercenary with low strength, but the quest success rate was another issue. Above all, my nickname is' Maestro of the Back. ’Making fun of the target by digging a trap was one of my specialties.

It was one of my pleasures to take off the Doubloons, to my clients, to my coworkers, to the rotten bastards who sell off my colleagues, and to beat their backs to the point of bloodshed.

“That's funny.”

I muttered. The three of you blink next to you.

It was ridiculous to say that it was funny to say that I was seduced.

“Come on, let's go. ”

“You said it was a trap.”

As I crouched and looked at the floor, the three of you sat crouched. Lind raises her head and asks.

“Pretend you're trapped and we'll eat you. ”

Let's see how prepared this fool is.

“Bang."

The squash howls and clings to the side. The three of them followed. I rushed ahead of them.

“I'll go first. Just follow the pumpkins. ”

I stepped forward and turned the other way, not the way I had originally wanted to go.

I see a path through a small forest. It's a great place to ambush. As I stepped into that forest, I smelled iron.

‘I think it's about halfway there. ’

When you hit a bandit, it was about that level. I can hear the sound of talent in a guild, but I'm not a master.

You move toward the reverse wind and try not to smell it. As I hid in the woods, I heard their voices.

“The Devil of Black Smoke, a common soldier. I don't know if we need to come. ”

“That demon killed Lord Benatos Despair. ”

“Hmph. I can beat that. ”

Hey, look at this guy. The Knights of the Wolves were clear. The armor is taken from the infantry, but the wolf's mark remains on the hilt of the sword.

Do it properly to disguise yourself.

It's a big deal to underestimate Despair's knights. Of course, I didn't mean to imply that the knights I killed this time were great.

I only know how great they are because I've heard of them in my past life.

“Don't get cocky. ”

“I understand.”

There seemed to be a leader on one side, but there were about twenty more foot soldiers on the other.

"Are you a Marine?"

No. It would have been difficult to eliminate the Marines if I had sent a knight like this. Whoever it was took quite a bit of work to catch me.

It meant that there was someone who knew the weight of what I did.

‘He's got a twisted head. ’

“Wait, when does he show up? ”

“I'll be right back. Within a day at the most. ”

"Wow."

I see the leader calling me. A man with dark brown hair protruding from his eyes. That's the guy. He set a stupid trap.

There are twenty infantry bags hidden from the outside, making them perfectly edible.

There are more than five knights there. I resign and return to the party.

“Enemies are waiting ahead. ”

“Do you fight?”

“I'll kill them all. ”

Digo asks, and the axe says, These guys are the only ones who know how to fight.

“The enemy set a trap, and in consideration of that, we ”

I hung up and smiled. It's actually kind of funny.

He showed me such a clumsy lure, and he dug a trap that looked like it.

“I sneak out. ”

“… Yes? ”

Digo blinks and asks again, and Lind looks at that day and smiles and says,

“That's despicable.”

“It's a compliment on the battlefield that you die. ”

“Yeah, that's right. That's a compliment. ”

Do we really need to fall into a trap set by the enemy? I don't want to.

Rather, it's a hundredfold of fun for the opponent to fall into my trap.

“Their forces are greater than two hundred foot soldiers and five knights. ”

“That's the number you want to fight. ”

Digo shows his curiosity.

“You will fight. ”

Not with these guys.

I looked a little ahead. I twisted my initial plan a little. If they set a trap, there's a way to reverse it.

They don't even know we're moving four people. No predecessor has ever moved like this on the battlefield.

As the numbers increased, we couldn't erase the middle trace, so we sent it back and moved amongst ourselves, but they won't know we have four left.

“Make it through the night. ”

You want to take out ten knights for me? I knew how much the commander weighed on me.

You have to show the weight.

“Change the first strike target. ”

You dig a trap and hear the voice of the man who lured me. I was sure I was coming.

Of course, not in the direction he wants us to go.
