Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Caith was married, but he still hadn't had his first night. I was busy preparing for the future, but it was because the atmosphere of the territory was so cluttered.

Lycaen said with a mean look on his face.

“Hey, when you do, just slam! ”

“Oh, really! He's just a friend! Anyway, there's no such thing as romance in this kid. ”

“Count Gronst, who is so romantic that he doesn't fit in with what he looks like, is so romantic. I don't even know if I'm married yet. Hehehe.”

Caith frowned at the ridiculing Lycaen, but before he could say anything, Lycaen hit him.

“I should get going, too. ”

“Well, already? I think we have a little more to discuss. ”

“Almost done. The rest will flow." I'm sure she'll be fine on her own, but I'm gonna go finish her off. I think Anton's mercenaries should be outside by now. ”

“I'm sure it is. ”

“So I'm leaving now. ”

“Huh? Now? ”

“I don't have time. I have to go. ”

“It's a bit urgent. So I'll see you there next time? ”

Lycaen nods in favor of Caith.

“Joel said he'd meet you there. I'll see you there. ”

Chapter 2. Inclusion (1)

“W-what did you just say? ”

A frightening cry erupts from Rowan's mouth.

The one who answered again was Maral, one of Rowan's henchmen.

“Earl Frost is gone. His family, of course, is missing along with the territorial militia. ”

“Well, does that make sense? I can't believe the Lord is gone with the Territories! Even if you and your family do, Earl Frost, does it make sense that so many Territories are gone? ”

“Th-that's ……. ”

Galdos, who was standing next to Maral, cautiously said.

“Earl Gronst is exactly the same. ”

“What!”

I was so stunned that my head was numb.

“An Earl would have a force of at least 2,000. Does it make sense that so many of those troops are gone? ”

“Not all of them, but half of them are gone. Through the remaining soldiers, they asked if they would be willing to leave the territory just now. ”

“The rest of the troops don't know where they went? ”

“Yes, I'm afraid I didn't tell the troops I was staying. ”

“Grrrgh!"

Rowan's face distorted horribly. Last time, he exterminated his own troops, and this time he's suddenly missing. From then on, the relationship with Earl Frost was an evil one from the beginning. His troops have been raiding Circus' secret stronghold ever since.

“Ugh! What are you doing?! Find it now!"

Maral and Galdos nod in haste at the sight of Rowan screaming. Then I jumped out of the room in a hurry without an answer. It was because it was obvious that if I answered at this time, I would have to tell them that I was delaying time.

After the two jumped out, Rowan put his right hand on his forehead. Just thinking about it made my head tingle.

I don't know what else to report! ’

Now is the time for the Prime Minister's meeting. It's more appropriate to call it reporting time than meetings.

Anyway, if I told Crohan about this at the meeting, I couldn't figure out how angry I'd be. But I can't help but report it.

Soon you will ask about the outcome of the treatment of Earl Frost, because if you do, you can buy anger and turn it into a handful of ashes.

“Phew!”

I was concerned, but the only outcome was to report it right now. With a long sigh, Rowan takes a heavy step.

Rowan arrives at a sturdy door walking through a complicated corridor, unable to enter immediately, he pauses for a moment.

“Phew!”

After a short deep breath, you try to open the door. Suddenly, someone approaches you from behind.

“Aren't you coming in? ”

At that moment, Rowan turns his head nervously and stares at the sound.

If not, I was very nervous, but I was irritated by the sudden rush of talk.

“What?! ”

“Oh my! Something's wrong? ”

Despite the sudden rise of life in the grass, the woman who spoke to him asked again, not waning at all.

Along with Rowan was Rudia, one of the three leaders of Circus.

“There you go. Go on in. ”

Roban opens the door in front of him, nervously spitting, and walks inside, followed by Lydia. As you get inside, someone kneels before Crohan and heads down.

Aaron, the other man in the Prime Minister.

“You're late.”

With Crohan's voice ringing, the two quickly approached and knelt on one knee alongside Aaron.

Crohan's gaze is on Aaron.

“How far is it going? ”

“Yes, I was able to capture all the lords I had initially selected. We're moving on to the next phase. ”

“It's been a while since I've liked you. ”

A satisfactory smile comes to Crohan's face. It seems like it's been a long time since I felt this satisfied myself.

Crohan nods at Aaron.

“What's next? ”

“Yes, the Clement using the Clymus of Oblivion is ready to move and waiting for the Master's orders. ”

Clymus of Oblivion is the name that makes the target forget everything in his mind. And it was a technique that allowed me to inject the other thing I wanted.

In short, it is a hypnotic or brainwashing technique.

Circus has devised a long plan for the Conquest War and has brought it to life one by one. And as soon as the completion of the plan was visible, he prepared a plan for the next step. Circus was planning to become the master of the entire continent.

In order to do that, what was most needed was the incursion of forces with force. Of course, the powerful force on this continent was meant for the nobles who have their territory, the lords.

But there was a lot of anxiety about simply taking it in. The human mind is because it has a fickle nature that can be turned back for very little reason.

That's why we needed brainwashing. I think they will use it thoroughly as their tool.

In other words, Aaron is now ready to brainstorm the empire's lords.

Crohan nods.

“Well done. No further orders from now on. Aaron, you coordinate everything. ”

“Very well! I will try not to disappoint you! ”

Crohan looks down from Aaron, who looks down on his big head, and this time he sees Rudia.

“What about Bren Kingdom? ”

“Yes, the Kingdom of Bren is almost finished as well. The former nobles of the Luo, Delos and Stanen kingdoms have all been captured, and the Kingdom of Bren is in contact with the missing Earl Eigen forces at the center. I think it'll all be over soon. ”

“Good. When the capture is complete, do not report it separately, but proceed directly to the next step. ”

“I will take my orders. ”

“If you don't want to be like your teacher, you better not make any mistakes. ”

Suddenly, Rudia's face distorts miserably. Her teacher was the one who died in vain because she failed to properly deal with the search for Feron and the Knights. No, it wasn't just a priest relationship, it was a lover.

Suddenly, when I heard the story, it was hard to keep calm. But fortunately, she's keeping her head down so that no one notices her.

Rowan was the last person Crohan looked at.

“What happened to their elimination? ”

“I was actually investigating Earl Frost's territory.... ”

In a cold answer, Crohan frowns before he even hears the contents.

The reason for not being able to say the result at once is because it is always the same.

“You fool! ”

Crohan's face with a burrowing howl didn't leave a happy expression until just now.

“I'm sorry! ”

“Don't you know excuses are unnecessary? ”

A huge energy rises from Crohan's body, terrified of the end of the horse.

The moment Rowan felt it, his body was already in the air.

And the tremendous pressure to condemn the entire body. Rowan's face swells quickly.
