Episode 121: The Thief General Gemon

Shouldn't Dunburg, a fortified city located northwest of the imperial capital Nortmarc and just defending the border between the Empire and the Union of the Marquis of the Duke of Rankt, have already simply said the Great Fortress?

With its thick stone exterior walls and fortifications surrounding all sides and central castles, it has used half of the city's area. It was like there was just a city in the big fortress where the families of soldiers could live.

The soldiers led by Mintz had two thousand heavily armed infantry and two hundred fewer knights, but as long as they were thoroughly guarded, I didn't think Dyson would fall that way by pushing them over in the big army.

The old emperor, who was closed and debilitated, was transported to bed in tanka by soldiers, accompanied by Eliza, who was worried about his grandfather.

For some reason, the musician Zitter follows me, not the emperor. With this guy around, I can't crack my belly and talk to Sir Mintz, so I'm in the way. Can you help me?

Passed through the guest room, drinking the tea served, and consulting with Sir Mintz about the aftermath.

"So, what can I call you?"

"I now call myself a displaced black musketeer (Driff Gunner)"

When I named him that, Mintz rocked his whitebeard in a funny way.

"Well, now, it's odd to say that you're a black musketeer. Because you do seem to have a good gun."

"Just look and you'll see, General Mintz"

Mintz nods when he sees the magic gun (rifle) I gave him.

"Ho ho, this old man's got a couple of samples of the firecracker guns, too. Compared to that, the guns that Lord Black Musketeer has are sophisticated. It's got magic props built in, and it's got a lot of power."

I guess I picked it up on the battlefield, Sir Mintz showed some usable parts and a decently repaired fireline gun lined up on the table. New bullets and even gunpowder. What a loose old man.

If it was Mintz who was directing the Silesier meeting, that battle could have been a Germanian victory.

"Maybe they also train soldiers who can handle guns"

"Because it seems easier to handle than I thought. We also have citizens in this city, so we are recruiting new citizens to try and make up for the shortage of soldiers."

Are you even apprenticing and trying this prostitute system?

That's just what I would call famous General Mintz.

"You're a perfectly alert old man. I'm on my side now, so I'm as reliable as I can be, but I'd be frightened if Mintz were an enemy general."

"Ho-ho, you won't have to worry about that. The most powerful empire on earth, built by His Majesty Conrad, is no longer a wind front. I won't let that fire go out as long as this old bone lives... but let this old man be a literal bone without waiting ten years"

I didn't care about the fate of the Germanian Empire or anything, but I can say that it was good that I ended up selling my thanks to Mintz and drawing him to my side.

An old man with a long military experience as a general is showing it by incorporating new weapons that change the system of prostitutes and tactics without any resistance. Mintz can be considered a rare presence in this world.

I guess the Germanic Empire, which unleashed the duties of the extraordinary Wisdom General and moved him to the left in a remote area, is a gathering of fools, as Dr. Lyle put it.

Besides, Mintz is not thick and ambitious about loyalty while having the ability to do so far.

I can safely say that I can entrust the Grand General with a delicacy.

I thought I wanted this guy.

Only a young captain will do it for the Yoshiyoshi regiment over here, but few experienced generals.

Leadership, backed by long experience, combined with a strategic vision, is a human resource that should not be missed.

If only Old Emperor Conrad and Eliza had held it this way, we could say that this was an unexpected good pick up because Mintz would get it.

"What have you done?"

Sir Mintz looks at me suddenly in silence.

Don't miss it, you'll definitely get to be our tabernacle.

No, I was wondering how the war was going.

"But thank you to the Kingdom of Silesier and the Union of Lord Rankt's Hordes, who are in tune with it, seem to be on our side here, and we received food aid in this castle earlier."

I see. Food aid. It must have been a gift from Lord Rankt that the Dunburg Castle tea served seemed decent to me too, when my tongue was completely fat.

In front of me, Sir Mintz rubs his white beard and talks about the Silesier kingdom with a shimmering face, so it's a pleasure to talk to someone who can ventriloquist.

"That's good, Hellmans. Rescue troops will be back in Dunburg in no time. For the Imperial Army, the Germanic family is a pawn necessary to ensure authenticity. It's visible to me that you're turning to chase, but as General Mintz, how do you move?"

"Right there, as a weasel, I'm not going to let the enemy pull this Dunburg out, but I know I want to carry His Majesty and His Highness to the safe rear."

"What about Emperor Conrad and Elizabeth's intentions?"

"Your Majesty and Highness will understand this conclusion after I consider your importance."

Well, I guess I have to follow what Sir Mintz says as a real problem.

The royal family is a disabling thing.

"But for example, do some people use the Emperor as a flag for disputing the Germanic Residual Army?"

I would suggest that to ask Sir Mintz about his intentions.

I do think it's safest for me to do what Mintz says, too, because if I send it to Silesier, Dr. Lyle will end up making it a tool of politics, so I feel a little pathetic about that, too.

Of course, I'll be careful not to be pathetic.

If you're as much a man as Mintz, you're saying it after you've figured out enough of the strategies Dr. Lyle is going to do.

But if the strength of this old general is only here to protect the identity of the old emperor, there must also be an option to defend the independence of the Germanian empire with Elizabeth, the only successor to the empire, as its flag.

"Certainly, as Lord Black Musketeer said. But I don't want to put His Majesty in any further danger."

"Well, it would be good if Sir's will were. I understand the conversation. I hope you want the Germanic family to remain in exile on the side of the Silesier kingdom."

"It seems so. Lord Black Musketeer would love to have His Majesty escorted and delivered safely. This old man, please lie down."

"I don't mind, but this loan is huge, General Mintz."

"Ho-ho, whip this old body. But I'll give it back. I never thought a bowl would still come around to an old man like me. Skinny or withered, this mintz is the residence of His Majesty Conrad. You know where life is."

"General, you'll have trouble getting me to die before you give me back my loan, so take care of my life"

"Ho ho, you're still an interesting person...... If you expect too much from this dying old man, you have to be uptight."

"Well, we've got a deal. Until I do what I'm told to do."

So when I thought the castle was in a hurry, the conductor came and informed me of the enemy soldiers' arrival.

Have you come yet?

"Rumor has it the shadow, I thought it would take a chaser, but the Imperial Army is expanding fast inside."

"Ho-ho, if you're ready to intercept, I'll leave you to this old man"

Mintz grabs the cane and puts his heavy body out of his chair and tries to head straight to the battlefield.

Um, dependable.

"General Mintz, that's..."

The young man in the conductor changed his spare favorable face when he slapped Mintz in the ear.

What surprises this old general?

"What is it, General Mintz? Was there something unexpected?"

"No, I thought it was my turn, because it didn't seem like it."

Thinking about what, I went up to the outer wall of Dunburg and the situation swallowed up.

From the direction of Nortmarc, a small army of chasers is coming.

That number would be a little less than five thousand. There are two thousand and two hundred soldiers in this castle that Mintz desperately gathered together, so even if the enemy soldiers were mostly lightweight infantry, they can be described as medium enemies.

But there was a mysterious cavalry, storming from side to side the Imperial Army of the Fist Slave, which had been attacking as a group, towards the fortress city of Dunburg.

That number is about two thousand horsemen, but it was a tremendous onslaught that could be described as reckless, kicking light infantry and eating through the flanks of the enemy at once.

Mysterious Knights or that Scarlet Eagle crest......

"Ho-ho, sounds like the Knights of the Duchy of Rankt."

"Princess Knight Eleonora, what's he doing here?"

No, it may be rude of you to "do what" for pointing reinforcements at me.

How much do you want to get out of the scene when you can extract old General Mintz's skill?

The enemy army, divided into two straight sides, no longer ended up as an army, no matter how large.

The enemies in the front are annihilated by a bow or crossbow or a firearm shot from the outer wall of Dunburg.

The enemy army at the rear was also chased by the Knights of Eleonora, who continued to lose and scatter.

I helped out once too, but it's been a long time since I've had such a big win.

"You grew up as a rank maiden, a straight, good warlord."

"Uh, does General Mintz see it that way? I think it's the same as always."

The offensive muscles would be too straight, though it seems good because we won.

Perhaps it was a good thing that it was only the Knights who stormed because of the hurry they had come. Eleonora is the type of soldier who can't work well with multiple disciplines.

I laugh when I say I can't use more than one soldier.

When it comes to being a general of one of those armies, I just hope he is. The Princess Knight is a truly special case.

"Princess Eleonora would be an ideal general, if used as a knight captain. In short, it would be nice to have an admiral to ride that rough horse."

"I see, if General Mintz puts the hoop on well, does that mean that the Princess Knight Eleonora can also take advantage of her traits"

"Ho ho ho, that's good too, but I wonder if even His Royal Highness the King can get on with it"

"General Mintz, will you stop joking?"

Why is everyone trying to push Eleonora against me?

My use of Eleonora is a joke, and from now on, the remnants of the Imperial Army and the Allied Coalition of the Hordes in Dunburg will face the Imperial Army of Fist Men in tandem, so if General Mintz will use Eleonora, I would appreciate it.

Eleonora should also be able to grow better under a good general named Mintz.

"I have captured the enemy bandit alive."

"Good day, Eleonora"

Upon welcoming the Knights of the Duchy of Rankt into the castle, the princess knight Eleonora, with a hoaxed face, drew the blue Mohican helmet of the enemy he had roped in as a prisoner.

I just didn't bring it with me as my enemy general, maybe Eleonora is growing up, too.

"I can't help being caught, I ask you to treat me as a knight"

"You, you're obviously not a knight."

Osama, wearing a blue Mohican helmet and a leather cloak over his sturdy, sturdy leather armor, says one end, so I get stunned.

Maybe this guy's a mercenary. I saw him riding and directing, so he probably came from around the cavalry of mercenaries.

"Oh, my God, I'm certainly not a knight, but I've been entrusted by the Emperor of the Emperor of the Empire with a General of Recruitment, Master Gemon. A general is better than a knight, at least treat him as a general!

A princess knight caught me. Even though I'm an idiot, I look great.

You're the kind of guy who secretly admires knights, and there's something about them that you don't hate when you think so. It's a Mohican helmet.

"Oh, okay, okay. But I've destroyed 5,000 armies, so when I get back to congratulate you, Dyson, I'm gonna kill you."

"It's..."

As blue as Mohican is, the thief general Gemon turns into a blue-white face.

That fist emperor is not sweet for incompetent men. They'll behead you normally.

Well, this blue Mohican helmet can also be decorated and ridden. Be not a knight. I've attacked 5,000 soldiers in a bent and dominant manner, so I guess he's a man there who can.

Conversely, he's a man to any extent he is instead, so I can see him beheaded if I go back and say "I lost".

"Fair enough, Lord Black Musketeer. I'm going to let General Gemon go."

"Oh, really?

The thief, Gemon, looks happy. I guess Mintz's tender face looked like a Buddha in hell.

Well, catching one of these won't be any barter, but I wonder if I can just miss the enemy general as it is.

Well, Dunburg is General Mintz's castle, so I'll take care of it after the war.

It may be General Mintz's way of saying that any human being has a use if kept alive.

"His Excellency General Gemon, if you untie that rope, are you going to go back to Dyson, the bandit named Fist King as he is?

"I don't know about that..."

I don't know, there's no way I'm going back because I'm decapitated when I get back. You run away without ever returning home, right?

Regardless of the honorable knight, mercenaries have their lives most important. Gemon wouldn't be that stupid either.

"If you are willing to stand under the banner of Orthodox Germania, you may now rise as an Orthodox Imperialist in the territory you ruled as it was, since you will free His Excellency the Expeditionary General Gemon with his captives. Shall we gather the defeated soldiers again?"

"Oh, I see!

Mintz lets a roped gemon bow his head only respectfully.

"Although greetings have been delayed, Washi is General Mintz, who will rule the city of Dunburg. Needless to say, we have control of the Orthodox Germanian Empire. If General Gemon is going to fight the bandit Dyson about the orthodox side, let him forgive the sin first class and leave it to him as a general. You just have to take control of the area you've ruled and confront the thieves."

"Okay, I'm an army general, too. I'll get you a Dyson bastard!

"That's the intention, my lord Gemon. Aren't you a fist slave by nature, such as Dyson the Thief General, who became an Orthodox General, and never stood in the wind of such a man?"

"All right, General Mintz. Let's fight together."

"You're reliable, then for the Orthodox Germanic Empire!

"Ooh, glory to the Orthodox Germanic Empire!

Mintz, when he cut the rope that was capturing Gemon, held him up with his shoulder.

The concerned Gemon willingly brings his liberated companions back to their home base.

Gemon declared that in his home village of Roitz, he would once gather the overthrown remnants and now raise them as generals of the Orthodox Germanian Imperial Army.

Gemon, the bandit general who was formerly captain of the mercenary cavalry, was also a male and an ambitious man trying to become in this mess.

If he can be a general, he can be either a faction or a faction.

Nevertheless, it's something that rounds up the good and takes the thief on its side.

I was impressed by Mintz's work.
