Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants

Episode 357

Bazaar mercenary captain Zakar was to leave Merfal with his mercenaries just before his employment contract expired.

Zakar, dressed as a military officer, smiles at me while flipping her embroidered cloak.

"Veit, I'm going to the royal capital as a messenger of the coastal princes. I'd like you to stay here."

"Leave it to Zakal. With the following coastal lords, I will help you with Zakar."

Me and Zakar smile and bow to each other.

It's a terrible farce.

According to a report from the Monza squad, Zakar seems to be betrayed once he enters the royal capital.

He does not vow loyalty to anyone. Find the one that works best for you. The sense of smell is sharp.

However, his judgment is accurate, so he can generally predict what to do next. This is because the optimal solution is always selected from the given information.

This time, Zakar is marching on the royal capital as a "messenger seeking reconsideration of the king to withdraw tax from the port."

On the surface, they are faithful minions of the coastal princes.

"The messenger wants to bring in as many as 4,000 soldiers, what is Waid's husband?"

The glaze captain of Belousa Squadron fluctuates and forgotten the mercenaries' march.

I had no choice but to laugh.

"Thanks to this, there are few mercenaries in Karfal. All that remains is a liaison. It's easy to conquer."

"Do you want to clean?"

Grizz smiles evil, but I shook my head.

"No, the first step is to prepare for the withdrawal of coastal princes."

"Withdraw? Is this the fucking fucker's future?"

Grizz tilted her head, so I'll explain briefly.

"That's why he's a man who fights for martial arts. If he has an army near him, he'll be attacked for any good reason. It will be good bait. "

"I guess so, but how is Calfar protected?"

"I don't have to do that yet. He has occupied this area once, and it's still in ostensibility. There's no stupid attack on my city."

The worries are citizens of the royal capital and Karfal, but we know that fighting against civilians won't help.

There will be no use of force unless a large-scale rebellion occurs, and at that point Zakar's reputation will be lost.

"Zakal doesn't like fighting. He loves victory. More specifically, victory for honor and wealth."

"Is it a withdrawal to not give it?"

"Yes. We're Miladian soldiers, so we won't even do Zakar. The wolf squad will just take down Zakar."

You can kill whenever you want.

But then, it's evident that uncontrolled mercenaries can turn into skilled bandits. That's why I just let Zakar manage it.

"The Belousa Squadron is in charge of maintaining the security of Calfar for the time being. It seems that citizens are favorably receiving it, and it should be fine."

"Hey, I understand."

The security of the end-of-century Mohawks is surprisingly popular, partly due to the gap. If you just do it normally, you can think, "Well, those who are better than they look?"

"Our Werewolf squadron will move around to hunt down Zakar. The land squadron asks for security and defense in Calfar. Call back the Calfar Guards and work with them."

"I understand. Leave it to us, my husband."

The grizz nodded.

It's safe to leave it to him.

Coastal princes withdraw, and basin lords do not raise their army upstream or downstream.

In other words, there is no opponent in Zakar, so no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to make a difference.

There is no affordable bait around him. At best it is about the Royal Guard, but if you engage with the Guard, you will be a thief.

If you can't build your position on the battlefield, you have to do it outside the battlefield. A 4,000 mercenary would not be very useful outside the battlefield.

Now, how does Zakar come out?

He always chooses the “right answer”.

If so, there is a way.

I call on the werewolf.

"In a few days, all the mercenaries in Karfal will be detained. Zakar has taken away most of his military funds, but he has left everything he can't bring to the royal capital, such as catapults. All of them will be seized."

"Okay, captain."

"I really like the catapult."

It's not like or dislike, it's dangerous.

I have a deliberately difficult face and arms crossed.

"Do you want me to kick a stone again?"

When I said that, everyone at the place was laughing.

Well, there is a lot to do.

"Sometime after Zakar arrives in the royal capital, let's gather the Karfal guards in rural villages around Karfal."

"Are you okay? Is Zakar not angry? Is it an excuse to attack?"

Monza was tilting her head, so I grinned.

"The guards will be hired as temporary Milaldia soldiers. The cost will be paid by Duke Calfar."

"Eh ... what ...? I don't know at all."

It's interesting that Monza is blinking, and I laugh more and more.

"Since Calfar fell and the prince was expelled, the guards have been disbanded. In any case, they are unemployed. So I hire."

"Such a mess ..."

Monza is amazed, but I laugh and grab the papers. It is a secret agreement with Prince Carfal.

"I have already handed the Guard of the Demon Army of Milaldia to the Guards of Karfal. If I attack the unit holding it up, I will not stand to kill Zakar."

If you're going to do so, be prepared to do so again.

"I'll order the Karfal guards with the Demon King's flag to keep Calfar safe. So they're back. The citizens will be pleased."

But Monza is still worried.

"Is it alright……?"

"A man who attacks the Milaldia army can be killed without hesitation. Would you like to kill the enemy?"

At that moment, Monza shouts with a full smile.

"I love You!"

I thought so.

After a while I heard that the mercenaries had entered the capital city of Encaraga, I started acting the next day.

"Detain all the mercenaries in the castle building.

"Ah, I did it!"

Someone raised a happy voice, transformed and jumped.

He has a monitoring mission, but what are he doing here?

I also enter the Duke of Karfal's Castle and attach parchment to mercenaries hanging out holding sake bottles.

"This is an order from Prince Bazza. I will arrest you for alleged breach of contract. If you resist, I will not guarantee your life."

Apparently it didn't make sense, and all of them threw the bottle away and stood up.

A new mercenary pulls a sword and barks in a rough tone.

“Oh !?

Even if you scream slang in Kuwait, you have no idea what you are saying.

Thankfully, it has begun, so I decided to try some of the enhancement magic I came up with before.

This type of opponent does not need to be transformed, so avoid the attack with magically enhanced physical abilities.

The sword is dull and the movement is monotonous.

In the meantime, knock on his head.

"Sleep"

At that moment, he thrust himself into the floor from his face.

`` Oh !? ''

There is a painful sound.

The mercenary fluttered, but could not move with his face on the floor.

That's the magic that I first learned, heavier.

More precisely, it is a magic that produces a downward force, but I wondered if it could be used to attack enemies.

If you cast an enhancement spell on an enemy, you are likely to be resisted.

But now I have the magic of a thousand kites, so I thought I could go forcibly.

`` Oh!

Looks like it worked.

"If you don't do it, your neck will break and die. Don't worry, you can solve it."

I don't know when it can be solved, so let me record it for the future.

Will you try two or three more?

When I looked back, all the mercenaries as far as I could see were upside down.

"Hey, it's over?"

Monza was smiling as he piled up mowing mercenaries.

It seems to be fun and nothing more

Having recaptured the castle building without any trouble, I immediately passed through the servants of Duke Karfal.

This is originally their workplace.

"Shura, return the palace. Before returning to the original Lord, Powani, I would like you to clean and care.

"Skillful, Mr. Weid"

When I handed the key to the house, the three maids bowed deeply.

"I will never forget the rescue of the precious building from the outlaws. We will help you further in the future."

"Thank you. The Guard is coming back soon. It's alright."

Finally, I finally got my shoulders down.

"Well, Karfal was returned. After that, he divided Zachar from the mercenaries and seized Zakar. After that ..."

"What do you do, General?"

Jerikh, who was carrying the repair wood, asked me, and I answered.

"Cover Zachar's ambitions. All you have to do now is drain it."

"Lid? ... Drainage?"

Jerilik tilted her head.
