Hero without Blood or Tear

[9] Obtain the favor of the Gentile. (2)

The name pre-emptive means their sacred right to elect an emperor by vote. It is nothing else but an imperial election ticket. How clean your feet must be in the Empire.

After preliminary election, the majesty is like that of a king of nations. Therefore, the next verse of the emperor should be called the honorable charge.

“Are you a mercenary for stealing weapons? ”

Philipp looks down at me with an interesting look after the steel preposition. His eyes seemed extraordinary, even though he had just passed on the terms and conditions. It was like the eyes of a dragon shining like a bundle.

“Yes, it is. It is an honor to be called here in person, and it is hard to bear. ”

When I speak politely, he smiles slightly. It was a fun face to do with a mercenary subject.

“His name is Ballersted Baller. Is that correct?"

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“Your courage is truly astonishing. You're like a furious lion, charging into the dust and taking away his armor. ”

“I don't know what I should do with my body because you tell me so. ”

“No, he who has no discipline shall be commended accordingly. The winner of this case will be rewarded with a prize. I will pay 100 florins to the soldiers with you and 300 florins to you. ”

A hundred florins is the annual salary of a bowman. That triple was a lot of money.

“The grace that God has bestowed on us is beyond belief. Your Majesty.”

“It's only natural. ”

“Your Grace, I regret to inform you that there is one request. ”

Philipp nods as if to ask.

“These fights have seriously wounded my predecessors. While the battle is raging, I urge you to step back with your colleagues to Bittenbuyer. ”

Vitenweir is a city about 10 kilometers from here. Today, I don't know that Valpurgis' life is at stake beyond mere knowledge of victory and defeat, but I intend to be prepared.

“The House of Representatives must be hurt. Don't worry. I was going to do it anyway. I'll give you the cart. Ride with your colleagues. ”

By the way, should I give you military advice since meeting Philipp like this? I know all about the evolution of the Battle of Harfheim. There are two peculiarities to today's fight: if Philip overcomes it, he wins, and if he doesn't, he loses.

“Hmm…. ”

In fact, it is wise to just back off. All you have to do is scratch the nerves of Philip and his widows after the steel preposition. But I couldn't help thinking about it. Valfurgis is Valfurgis, but I'm also worried about the other mercenaries.

“Your Grace.”

“What more do you want? ”

“You have enough silver and mercy, what more could I ask for? Can I just say one little thing to you? ”

Normally, you wouldn't be standing in front of such a solemn creature. It was possible because he established an air force.

However, the nobles were already frowning. If I just gave it to him, he would take it and leave. He must have thought he didn't know the subject.

“There's nothing wrong with that. What do you want to talk about? ”

“Your Grace, there is one thing I find worrying about your army. ”

At that moment, Philip's face became slightly stiff. In my words, I feel sensitive to the way I want to advise. Perhaps he believes in his perfection.

However, the low status person seemed to be offended when he tried to take something out with a voice full of concern. Oh, man, I've been as polite as I can be.

Moreover, I pointed out that there was a problem with his enthusiastic army. On the contrary, Philip grumbles a little.

“Ho? What point of view was that? Tactical or political? Or…."

He looks at me and smiles bitterly. Hidden behind a good human impression is a glimpse of the savagery.

“Is it a financial point of view? ”

The nobles around you burst into laughter. You all think I don't know the subject. Some of them started chewing on me blatantly. I also saw the ridiculer.

“It's good to have an air force. But how dare you worry about his army? ”

“I think I got some good intel somewhere. He's not satisfied with the gold he received and he's trying to burn something else. ”

I felt a bit strange than being offended. I'm sure the Guardians of the Iron Pilgrimage will. Why do I look like one of those cowboys? It was not the distribution of the Guardian class. I was greatly disappointed that I was hoping to have a relationship with him today.

Why would he do that? Is this the peculiarity that comes from me choosing an ordinary person?

I came up with a hypothesis. If all the guardian characters appear in the world because of the choice of ordinary people, the Demon King will be in great danger. Every single one of them changed the course of the war.

This needs to be balanced. If several guardians fight the Demon King with one mind, the peace of humanity will soon be upon us. But superstar Aquila couldn't have made it that easy.

Suddenly, I had a scary family. If those powerful guardians were selfish, what would happen next?

Probably went very differently from the direction I had experienced. Perhaps I should confront not only the Demon King, but the Keepers of the Flight. There are a lot of worries. But we'll figure that out later.

For now, it was more important to warn them of the current situation. I didn't think he'd listen to me after the Iron Pilgrimage. It's embarrassing, but there's an unexpected figure in the way.

“Your Grace, even if three strangers travel together, there must be a teacher among them. But why would you listen to a swordsman who serves you? ”

A truly original and beautiful voice. It has enraged the nobles here, filled with mischief and vulgarity, as if they had awoken from a dream.

“Hmm!”

“Hmmm!”

The nobles coughed for no reason if they felt ashamed. Due to the nature of the proud aristocrat, I was offended when I was told to listen to it all openly, but no one mattered. He would, too, because it was Valpurgis who opened his mouth now.

“I understand that's what the spirit says. ”

Philip was also cautious of her identity.

“Don't call me infatuation. Here I am serving as a Lancer. ”

“I'm sorry, Lord Valpurgis. ”

“Your Grace, listen to the author. If you say the right thing, you will be rewarded, and if you say the wrong thing, you will be able to rule by military law. ”

“You're right. I'll do it. Khh! ”

Philipp clears his throat once and looks at me. I was grateful to Valpurgis for his help.

“Mercenary, I apologize for your rudeness. ”

“I won't, Your Grace. If you would just listen to what he has to say, I don't want anything more. ”

“Fine. Tell me. What worries me so much on the battlefield prepared by the overlord. ”

Philipp says that all the gazes of his cardinals and cavalry were drawn to me. I couldn't breathe under the pressure for a moment. I glanced back and looked at the nasty man behind Philip. A somewhat neurotic impression of a hawk rico.

The author is Friedrich, Philip's defeater today. Philip's uncle hits his nephew in the back of the head today. Betrayal with the enemy.

He's been after Philip for a long time. I've been pretending to be a good relative so far, but today is the day to finally reveal my true colors.

His dark brown eyes stare at me like a snake. His eyes were like, "What the hell is this? I felt like saying. 'Should we be talking about his treachery here?

I was troubled and had no choice but to shake my head. Who would believe it? Friedrich is a nasty man, but one of the best repudiations in the empire. There were many people in the empire who needed money. So he was building a statue around him as high as the gold coins he had.

I, on the other hand, am just a romantic. The sin of disorientation and blasphemy against the nobles will surely be tolerated. I dare not talk about Friedrich.

Instead, I decided to warn him from a tactical standpoint. The cause of his defeat today is because of two factors: betrayal and ambush. I can't talk about betrayal, so I'm going to talk about ambush.

“Look over there. Your Majesty.”

I point to the hills where the enemy's right wing rests. They're doing magic and shooting at their allies there.

“It's a tactically important position. If an ally is stationed there, it would be a good idea to fire a cannon at the Demon King. But for some reason, the troops in the hills guarding it are sloppy. ”

A cavalry officer snorts, I say.

“Hmph! Who doesn't know that?" You've come to boast of that wisdom, but we've already decided to conquer that hill! ”

The cavalry officer laughs around. And I shook my head when the atmosphere of blatant scorn rose again.

“That's not it. Sir, that place will be a limb. But why do you want to hit it? ”

“What? What? ”

He was embarrassed when he reacted in front of him. You didn't expect me, a commoner, to look this hard at myself as a nobleman. He quickly earns his face. Philip holds up his hands, trying to open his mouth as if he were spilling something.

“Oh, what do you think? ”

Philip showed interest. However, his eyes were so sharp that he would not let go. Maybe there's a reason those hills are suspicious here, and if you just say, "It's a sign," you won't have a neck left.

“Your Highness, in the mind of the servants, there must be an ambush beyond that hill. ”

“Why do you think that is? ”

In Philip's question, we decided to present the actual case. I have spent a long time in this world researching the nemesis of the Demon King. The same is true of the Demon King in number 12, Pezamut of Blood and Death. I've been investigating the battle he fought against the humans.

“Your Grace, Pezamut has had fewer turns with the Imperial army than any other Demon King. Haona, several times, it was a series of battles. That's because he's really good at ambushes. ”

“… Keep trying. ”

“The battle between King Rodrigo IV and Pezamut of the Toa Kingdom 10 years ago was also won and lost by an ambush. Six years ago, the battle between Anhalt Changbaek and Pezamut was also won. ”

That's when Philip got my message.

“The same was true two years ago when the Emperor's deputy general defeated the Duke of Oygen. You are the brightest of warriors. ”

“Your compliments.”

“Yes, it's a compliment. Hehe. Your concern is understandable, but the excessive can certainly overcome such an ambush. ”

I knew this motherfucker was shit. I just met him, but his voice is already starting to annoy me. But my confidence in not surrendering to ambush is not a bluff.

With the power of Steel Pre-Election, we'll be able to strike back at our enemies with a bewildered army. But today, a powerful, blind uncle is going to crush you. You're smiling because you don't know it.

Even as a guardian, he was still just a child. The world must feel like its own because they support it because it's pre-Steel. You little prick.

I continued to worry in my mind. But I decided quickly. I'd better ditch him early. I decided to choose Valpurgis instead of Philip.

Philip was disappointed, but Valpurgis remained a hero. Connecting will be a great help to the journey ahead.

I've made up my mind to leave. Today this war will be in chaos. I had a lot to prepare in advance to save Valpurgis, the nun knight.

“Your Grace, your servant has stepped out of line. I'd like to step back now. ”

I encountered an old general behind the Iron Pilgrimage. He was looking carefully this way. I was surprised to find out who he was.

No, that's him!

Earl Johann Cherklaes von Tilly!

Why is that legendary general here now? That's when I realized. It wasn't Philip that mattered right now. I vowed to face Tilly no matter what happens today. Luckily, he showed interest in me.

Curiosity flashed on old Tilly's face.
