Level Up

Berlin's troops are numerous, but capable. And their secrets of growth were shrouded in the veil.

In fact, not only the citizens or nobles of Berlin, but even the actual operators of the tower, Verdin, did not know the exact number of troops.

It was the same for all information organizations as well.

The only one who knew the exact number of troops was the commander who commanded and commanded each.

What was even more curious was that the commanders of each platoon were just as keen about their platoon as the other.

And where they were staying itself was important information.

It was not easy to find out unless it was a capable informant.

Of course, the Tower's intelligence is superior to all of Berlin's information statues combined.

Basically, most of the city called Berlin is under the watchful eye of the tower.

All information stores are subject to the stewardship of the tower, and they have been living in artifacts, just like Kendrick.

Kendrick checks the information Verdin gave him and sticks out his tongue.

I just got the intel on Berlin's troops and commanders, and it's massive.

Moreover, perhaps the Commander himself could not have acquired this much information.

“This way.”

Now Kendrick is leading the marshal to the commander of the infantry.

In fact, Kendrick knew where each of the commanders were or where they were working.

However, they did not know where to train the soldiers, where to find the soldiers' barracks, etc.

In fact, if they weren't occasionally powerful horses, some would suspect a military presence in Berlin.

No, most people think Berlin has no troops trained or raised separately.

I hid my troops that far away. No one knew where they were hiding.

Of course, I wasn't going to see those soldiers. Right now, it's more important to convince the commander who commands the soldiers than the soldiers.

In fact, it might be better to get the heart of the soldier first. So I spoke up before coming out of the tower.

Verdin seemed interested in that as well.

However, I couldn't continue to talk about how resolutely Hyun-seok said that I didn't need to.

Kurt, the commander of the infantry, has been staying near the southern gate.

The house was nearby and the office where I was working was nearby.

‘I see that everyone lives near the gate. ’

The Cavalry Commander lives near the Eastern Gate. And the commander of the Ranged Troop lives near the northern gate.

And the Knights stay near the Western Gate.

Finally, the Magic Troops stay somewhere near the tower and assist in the battle by leaving support immediately if something happens at each gate.

Kendrick assumes that the troops they command are also hidden nearby.

Otherwise, the army won't be able to take off their horses as soon as the monsters invade.

When fighting horse-drawn horses, support and cooperation between units is also very rapid and accurate.

I thought maybe that's why the commanders are staying near the gate.

‘No, I will. Those people...... seem to have a great sense of mission. ’

It was natural to be interested in the commanders.

It was not only for information merchants, but for any nobleman, merchant, or anyone who wanted power.

But it wasn't as easy to get to the commanders as I thought.

Approaching the commander implies that it is likely to develop into a serious problem.

Once upon a time, the three families that ruled Berlin had always struggled.

Even if one of them gets the Commander, the balance of power will collapse in no time.

None of the three families wanted that.

The situation naturally flowed towards the three families gathering their strength to block people's access.

But we couldn't block everyone who wanted to see the Commander.

I said it would work if I wanted to. There aren't many humans who do anything to achieve their strongest aspirations.

Commanders naturally encounter numerous people and go through many different attempts. I used to be threatened, not only by refueling and catching.

But in any case, they had something to protect.

He didn't say anything about the troops he was leading. It's as if telling the secret cost you your life.

And the second was that, when the crisis comes in Berlin, we move our troops at our own discretion.

They were united by a mission to protect the city.

It's been a long, long time.

In the meantime, the Commander has changed several times. What was curious was that no one noticed when and how the Commander changed.

Each time, the city's informants and nobles make a ruckus in search of the commander.

After going through it so many times, they also learned how to distinguish the commander from an ordinary man.

The commanders each possessed a unique seal. It was a ring-shaped seal, each representing its own leading illness.

Every time they find the commander, their soldiers try desperately to find him, but so far, no one has ever found out.

After all, knowing the situation, Kendrick wasn't worried at all.

They must be watching the three families closely around the Commander.

No, perhaps the commanders had already been captured by the three families.

In fact, the commanders are doing their best to protect the city, but they don't necessarily follow anyone and aren't the only ones left like the Poisonous Fire Lord.

Many past commanders have made connections with one of the three families and have been able to help each other.

Of course, no matter how much I did, I absolutely kept the secret about the soldiers. Not to mention the protection of the city.

Can I really meet the Commander? ’

Kendrick looks closely at the stone that walks alongside him. Perhaps the results will vary depending on how Hyundai does it.

Meeting the Commander and convincing him.

As I was walking around thinking about the stars, Kurtuwa, the commander of the infantry, arrived at the building where he was working.

It was a shabby three-story building. Kurt and I work on the second floor of this building and live on the third floor.

“This... looks like we're a little late. ”

Near Kurt's building, dozens of soldiers are heavily armed and guarding the perimeter.

Uniquely, however, their outfits were not unified.

Kendrick sees it and swallows his tears.

“Hmm. Looks like the three families held hands. ”

Hyun-seok nods at his words. That's all I expected.

No matter how the three families come out, it doesn't really matter to Hyundai. The most important thing for him was to convince Kurtwear.

Hyundai took a few steps closer to the building. And I lit up my eyes.

‘Maybe this.... ’

Hyun-seok had a feeling that this would go very well. No, I was sure. This can't go wrong.

‘This is how it works. ’

He slowly walked towards the building.

Then the knight in breastplate steps forward and stands in front of the stone and Kendrick.

“You can't pass through here. ”

Kendrick steps forward, the knight says. I left on purpose because I thought I would see blood if I stepped on a stone.

“Haha. Were there roads in Berlin where citizens couldn't pass? ”

The knight's eyebrows twitched. I didn't like it, but it wasn't wrong.

All roads in Berlin were open to civilians. I couldn't stop them from getting in my house or passing through the street.

But that was before the three families held hands.

Now the balance of power to control them is lost at any cost.

“If you don't listen in words, you'll have to use your strength. ”

The knight says so, grabbing the handle of the sword tied to his waist. And then I let out a little ferocity.

It seemed to have considerable skill. But Kendrick's been through all the anarchy, too. I couldn't have been more depressed.

“Lord Martha has come to see Kurtwea. ”

The knight stares at Kendrick, surprised to hear that he's a matchmaker.

Nevertheless, he didn't seem to want to move at all. Instead, I showed a stronger will.

A few of the soldiers plummet behind the knight, blocking the road more firmly.

“You're a Parmian knight by the symbols. May I accept that the Fabians have declared war on the Horse Tower? ”

“What nonsense are you talking! ”

The knight shouted with a bold expression and tone that was distinctive.

“This is my agent. If he accepts the declaration of war, I will. War isn't bad either. Well, I don't think the other two will help us if we just fight the Fabians. ”

The knight flinches at the words of the stone.

The three families were allies now. But what if the Fabian family goes to war with the tower? Will they still be allies then?

I can assure you that the knights will never be. I could have hung my thumb.

The rest of the two families will just watch the Fabian family and the Martyrs bleed and intervene later, each one of them will have a strong profit.

‘And I will be the enemy of the Fabian family. ’

Kendrick, who read the hesitation in the knight's eyes, speaks in a gentle tone.

“He's a matchmaker, not someone else. Aren't there any other nobles in there besides Kurtwea? His Highness wanted to go to him and have a few words with him. ”

When I heard that, I felt like I had to let him in again.

In fact, no one expected that the Horseman would come here himself.

I just thought I'd get someone to tell me what to say, or call me a horse tower.

The wizards they knew were cautious and weak. I was also scared.

That's why the Horsemen thought so, too. Who would have expected such a fearsome wizard to go looking for the commanders himself?

That's why the knight's judgment was confusing. Kendrick gives a decisive statement.

“If that's what you're worried about, why don't you come with us? You're not afraid of weak wizards like us, are you? ”

The knight nods.

“Very well. Pass through. Instead, we'll have three knights accompany us. ”

Kendrick nods, smiling brightly.

“I wish. Hahahaha. If I can spare some time, I'll serve drinks at a good place later. Hahahaha.”

The knight opened the way with a slight expression.

Kendrick and Hyundai are able to enter Kurt's building through an open road. Three knights lined up behind you.

* * *

Kurt and I were having tea and chatter with the Knight Leader of the Fabian family in the Oval Office.

In fact, Kurt and the Fabian family have been in good relations for quite some time now.

That's why I was guarding this building with Kurt in the Fabian family.

“How will the Horsemen get out? ”

I spoke firmly with Kurt in the question of Benteke, the Knight Leader of the Fabian family.

“I don't care how he gets out. I have no intention of holding hands with a horseman I've never seen before, nor of going under him. I'm just a man protecting our city. ”

Benteke smiles satisfactorily at Kurt's resolute words. His heart and will seem solid, so I thought I wouldn't have to defend this place.

Of course not. No one can be sure what happens to people.

As you two talk, the door opens and someone walks in.

Kurt frowns.

“Who are you to visit so rudely? ”

It was Kendrick who came in. Then a string comes along behind Kendrick.

Three knights come in behind the fence and stand side by side, blocking the entrance.

Benteke saw it and made an impression.

“What are you doing? ”

His men, who brought them in quietly, shudder.

Of course, Kendrick proved they had nothing to do with it.

“The Lord of the Throne is here. ”

Benteke and Kurt's gaze settles on the stone.

Hyun-Seok glanced at Kurtwe among them. And I checked his seal on his finger.

[Barbell's Infantry Barracks]

The smile on the mouth of the stone became brighter.

And I felt a deep anxiety about Kurt looking at it for some reason.
