I Became the First Prince
193. 59. Honeymoon for her (5)
Soon after I sent Malkoy back, his deputy came to me.
“You and Malcolm were alone. ”
I hesitated to sit down and ask him before recommending a seat, and his gaze was stuck in my hand. I can smell the liquor when I see it swallowing dry saliva with my nose.
Unlike my supervisor, I gave the bottle to a good man.
“I was drunk, though. ”
He took the bottle cold.
A bottle of liquor is poured into the mouth and the door pacifier gently wets its head.
I wanted to tell him that my throat was fluttering a few times, and he took the bottle out of my mouth.
“Khh. How long has it been? ”
He returned the bottle to me after stealing the excessive mouth value.
“So I guess you didn't like Malcolm's answer. ”
I nod my head and make the expression of Percival know.
“War is not justified. A majority came out to the limbs for the minority. Well, you probably said something like this. ”
“You know very well. ”
He reached out his hand. The bottle was again in his hands.
“You're probably confused. Everything in this fort will not match Malkoy's common sense. ”
“Common sense... the search for common sense on the battlefield itself is less sober. ”
“That's it, but honestly, I don't think this fortress is normal. ”
Contrary to a little while ago, Percival said in a slightly lower voice that he sipped the fundraising liquor.
“The knights and soldiers here seemed... not afraid to die. Especially those soldiers. I swear, I've never seen anyone like that. ”
He turns his head. Following his gaze, they laughed at each other with ridiculous dances.
It was the rangers of Baleard, including Jordan.
“They fought for their lives. I feel like I want to die in a fight, but compared to that, there are not many people who die as ghosts because they distinguish when they fly, hit, and fall. ”
I nodded unwittingly.
Percival's horses and rangers were flying around.
Those who only deal with leathery, violent Orcs meet humans and fly like a fish that meets water.
At first, my men were too dumb to fight the Imperial Soldiers, but now they come here to tease me about Baleard's disgrace when he hurts the Imperial Army.
At least the Knights of the Empire will be able to defeat the Rangers, but those evil ones have never faced knights stronger than themselves.
The number of Empire Knights who died in the hands of the Rangers since the war began, as if they had driven the Orc Warriors towards the allied Knights and put their swords behind their backs or shot their brains.
“It's not just them. The same is true of others who are not afraid to die. ”
Percival's gaze turned this time towards the Southern Army, who was quietly resting.
“There was not a single soldier I saw who bought my body. ”
If the Imperial Army suffered a terrible defeat, the soldiers of the Southern Army were poisoned by the death of the Queen.
Even if he died, his will to kill the enemy was nothing new to the Southern Army.
The same was true of conscripts.
They volunteered for a war that would not have to be fought, so it was not as much as the scams and speculation between the Rangers and the Southern Army.
In the first place, there was nothing more to say about knights who regarded the fall of their strength as an honor on the battlefield.
Percival can be persuasive if it's just knights, if it's just some of the soldiers, but like this, I've never seen anyone come to war with one mind. I vomit an eloquence admiration.
Then he said in a heavy tone.
“Maybe so. ”
His gaze turned towards the wall where my supervisor had disappeared.
“It's hard for Malcolm to take the situation straight. ”
He drank himself into a sigh.
“The knights and soldiers of Marseille were not like them. ”
The ideal that the young Prince of Destruction wished for his country's knights and soldiers would not be the same as this fortress.
"Young Malkoy would need those responsible to endure his captivity. And there was a decent guy. ”
Nobles and knights who have forsaken the oath of invincibility, soldiers who hold the sword upside down in fear of death.
The young prince of the Dead had endured the captivity, blaming the traitors, and brainwashing himself that it would not have happened without the war.
“You're so young. ”
“It's not something I don't understand. Malkoy was just a kid who lost everything in one day. If you think about Malkoy at the time, it's okay to just not cut your own life. ”
But if you're my boss and I don't like cursing, Percival defended Malcolm.
I stood firm and disagreed with the words of the Pacific.
Is there anyone in this citadel who doesn't have a story? I didn't mean to brag about someone else's past.
“So please be gentle. He's a smart guy, so you'll realize the reality soon enough. ”
In Percival's words, I gave you a drink instead of an answer.
“I'll ask you nicely, then. ”
The Percival, who completely emptied the bottle, rose from the scene. After bowing his head, I thought to myself, even though he was leaving like that.
Perhaps the end of the kingdom of Marseille will be the future of our kingdom.
No, if I hadn't purged the rotten nobles beforehand, it would have been philosophically painted if the Queen hadn't taken back the cause of war with death.
Even now, it was at stake.
Only resolutions were made, but the facts changed nothing.
The empire was still huge, and the kingdom was still weak.
The fire that the queen had set on fire was burning everywhere, but I could not imagine that the hearts of the soldiers and the minds of the people would be the same at that time if the current condition persisted for a long time.
The Sixteenth Century will begin to resent the royal cause of war.
I had to find the tracks before the situation did.
The war now was just a holdover. And winning against the Empire was simply impossible.
Even if the enemy suffered double the losses of his allies, it was the kingdom that eventually collapsed.
Before the flames that began to burn like moths went out, before the troops of the kingdom that were soaked in crocodiles melted away.
It was necessary to reverse the situation.
“The Eastern Fleet should play its part. ”
I had no doubt that the king and the Eastern fleet who left to feed the Empire would return with a victory note.
However, no news of the King's return to the Empire has been heard over time.
If there was a battle to win or lose, I would have heard the news, but it was the news of the Superintendent.
I kept getting nervous, but the ominous imagination got messed up in my head, but each time, I shook my head hard and made up my mind.
Among the troops leaving for the Empire were the King of Dothrin and the Knights of Chang.
Others believed that the King of Dothrin could overcome any challenges.
The progeny of the climate were real monsters.
While fighting such nervousness, the Imperial Army continued to tap the borders of the kingdom.
The Silver Lion Citadel has also been attacked countless times.
Not a single fortress and stronghold has been taken yet, but I can't rest assured.
In addition to the imperial troops currently at the border, there was an intelligence report that additional troops were marching towards the border.
He said that the army of the enemy who came here contained wizards and paladins.
Once they arrive, the battle will be harder than it is now.
But there wasn't much I could do right now.
All I could do was destroy the Empire army attacking the Citadel.
Every day was a battle.
The Rangers were still holding out well, but the soldiers of the Southern Army had long been at the limit of their stamina.
Rangers and knights run around the walls narrowly to fill their exhausted seats.
I didn't stand still either.
I participated more actively in combat than I did before.
He recited the poem of war without a break and stirred up the energy of his allies.
I rushed through the wall with Mana at the end of the sword.
In the process, the knights of my enemies were already over a hundred, and the army commander of the enemy who lost his life in my hands was five.
By that time, the enemy would not attack our citadel.
Thanks to that, our citadel has regained its rest, but the burden of other fortresses has grown.
The imperial troops who were attacking our citadel headed for another fortress.
Only the Black Spear Soldier leads the Citadel out. Malcolm and Pacific were also together.
They were stirring like crazy to each other. When I hear that the Citadel of Ally is in danger, I wake up and run to the battlefield. Malkoy was very distressed by this insane assailant.
I didn't make a weak sound. I tried desperately to avoid falling behind one way or another.
I left Malcolm like that by my side and rolled him over. And, of course, my side was the place where the toughest battle took place.
Malkoy handed over Gobi, who could never die.
Every time I and Percival helped each other, I barely managed to turn over the crisis, but I couldn't help but feel the slightest scar on my body.
And the more wounds he had on his body, the more he became a face.
“A few words would have sufficed. It's a real war to protect. ”
But he was still looking for something grand in this war.
“I need to roll more. ”
Whenever I smiled, I pushed him into my limbs.
Strongly believes that if you wield a sword without your mind to survive, even the drudgery in your head will disappear.
But Malcolm was persistent. When the battle is over, he comes to me and talks about ‘real war’.
It wasn't worth listening to.
“What the hell is the answer? Do you even have an answer? ”
Malkoi protested because he was so full of answers and said, "Don't pretend I've heard it every time."
But I had no intention of releasing his curiosity with my mouth.
“It's not far. Malkoy.”
I told him to find out for himself, and he turned around.
As the front was so wide that it felt narrow, Malkoy would no longer speak nonsense.
“Why, without even talking about what a real war is?"
One day I asked him, and he answered me with a tired face.
"I'm not even curious anymore. ”
I looked like I was going to die right now, and I looked like I was asking if it was important.
I laughed.
I am truly pleased that I am now fit for war.
In fact, the answer did not exist from the beginning. It's funnier to have an answer to a war.
I just wanted to talk about Malkoy's conceit and arrogance in his head, who was a less insightful sheep in world history.
And there were countless ways to talk about it in this world, but one of my preferred ways was to roll it so it didn't feel bad.
The results were satisfactory.
Malcolm has no more bullshit, and he has not wasted his precious rest with worthless thoughts.
“Return to the Fortress of the Silver Lion. ”
Destroying the enemy on the way back, I and the Black Spear Troops all head for the citadel.
The Empire troops that were entering the border slowly began to withdraw their troops, which I think seems to be preparing to join the reinforcements for the day.
And my projections were right.
“The news is that enemy reinforcements are a week away from the border. The exact size is expected to be at least 40,000, although those on reconnaissance will have to return. ”
I sighed.
In the meantime, more than 15 troops have been annihilated or destroyed. However, the Empire has put more troops on the front lines despite our efforts.
It was once again a moment to reduce the difference in power.
Moreover, among the additional enemy troops, the wizards and paladins were said to contain Dagger.
From now on, it was a real gobi.
But there was no law in the world to just die.
That was the case now.
“Sire! The reinforcements are here! ”
I was delighted to run to the North Gate and see the people wearing white capes coming under the escort of the Rangers.
It was the wizards of the White Yard Tower who told me that Heirich would be ready in half a year.
They finally formed a little pussy and showed up on the front lines.
But that wasn't all.
Those who didn't even think of it were with the wizards of the White Night Tower.
