Running Away From The Hero!

After defeating all but Duke Lysha, we quickly regroup and prepare to scatter.

“What if he doesn't come? ”

“The opponent is Duke Laisha. A man who lets people do things they wouldn't do without going crazy! And we suddenly fell in love with that. ”

Ast raises his voice while packing things up.

“Hey, that's expensive! Take care!”

“Yes, sir! ”

Does Ast know? You're telling me you're a dragon?

And that the dragon is perfectly frightened of itself?

“Why are you looking at me like that? ”

“It's nothing. ”

Even with the act, I could not say that I was surprised that the dragon behaved stubbornly in human words.

“I've got everything I need. I'm going to leave you with a couple of military secrets. ”

“Yes... ”

I scattered documents with imperial seals all over the unnecessary information.

Then, to pretend to spill on top of it, I started spraying the nondescript articles again.

“Hmm... I'd like to leak some important information.... ”

“We can't divulge military secrets, no matter what the plan. ”

“Is that so…? ”

The unfortunate Ast quickly escapes as if he had remembered something, carrying a piece of paper.

“Your Majesty, would you please put a seal on it? ”

“... Is it because I feel ominous? ”

“It's the mood. ”

“Yes. It's absolutely not my fault. ”

You quickly intercept the paper in Astor's hand.

“This……. ”

It has many contents, but to summarize, it looks like this.

“Are you planning to attack the enemy in three days? All the way to the target point... You didn't have a plan like this, did you? ”

“Yes, because I just made it. ”

“I know. The ink hasn't dried up yet. ”

“Yes.”

Looking at the straightforward letters, I frowned.

“You want me to seal it here? ”

“That's right.”

“Why?”

“If Operation Leakage isn't possible, why not create a Leakage Operation?" ”

“What should I think to make that conclusion...? ”

Ast said it was a very simple act.

It is illegal to inform Duke Lysha of pre-planned operations. However, it is not illegal for us to inform you of the operations we have made here, which are not planned in advance.

Well, of course it's not illegal.

“Let's not report it to the military at all, but plan the operation? ”

“That's right.”

“You know it's a good punishment to get caught in the army, right? ”

Basically, all operations must be reported to the military, except for special items. To prevent things from happening in advance.

For example, a special forces unit called A moves to attack the enemy.

At this point, a special forces unit called B spots A and judges the enemy in order to attack the enemy.

Finally, there was a fight between allies.

On a night when there was no moonlight, we were dressed in black without any features to surprise our enemies, so we didn't know each other were friends.

It was stupid, but it actually happened in a country in the past.

For this reason, those with some positions needed to know the operation of allies acting in certain areas.

And what it takes to coordinate it is to report operations to the military.

Of course, this is also to ensure the best possible survival of our spies who are hiding in the enemy camp, and to determine the risks of operations inside the military.

It also sanctions international condemnation by conducting things that are unethical beyond risky behavior or common sense.

“Well……. What is the level of discipline? ”

“After all this time, you won't be executed, but you'll be disqualified, right? ”

Therefore, proceeding without reporting to the military was a very big reason for disciplinary action.

It's just...

“Excellent!”

It was a matter of discipline that did not apply to Astor.

“Let's do it now! ”

“Ahh... ”

It is a great honor for a commoner to be knighted in his original position.

Even in a year, countless people get the title, but this is an empire.

A vast territory and a vast people who live there.

Although it looked like a lot of people would receive it, in terms of proportion, only a very small number of people would receive it.

If it becomes a baron, the nearby lord would be very honored to celebrate, and it was an impossible achievement for an ordinary citizen to be crowned as his own, except for a great achievement in the military.

Even when all this was recognized only for me.

In the case of Ast, he had a masquerade authorized to build his own family if he wanted to.

Allows you to remain in the rank of your generation.

This was almost impossible for the common man.

Wealth, power, honor.

It was an honor to have gained all three of these things as a commoner.

“Yes, you are. ”

I give up such things too easily. No, I wanted him to take it away from me, looking at his face.

After pulling the seal out of his chest, he pressed it and handed it over, Ast gave the paper to someone else.

“Maref, adjust the temperature appropriately and try to dry it well. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

He used flame magic and wind magic to exquisitely dry the ink with hot wind.

... to the dragon.

“I'm free, Sunbae. ”

“Thank you.”

“No, I'm not.”

The last dragon, the beginning of magic, uses magic only to dry ink.

Nonsense, but next to Ast, that nonsense is coming true.

After checking that the ink is dry, Ast starts to smile as if he was satisfied by putting the documents he just filled in between the papers and looking at the room that had become a mess.

- I think he's crazy.

Seeing that, the dragon trembles.

In the meantime, I have seen and realized various actions beside Ast.

I don't know how crazy Ast would do something like that.

However,

- It's about the same as usual.

- That's the problem!

You're absolutely right.

However, compared to what we have to deal with, the enemy will have to deal with much more.

He would, too.

“Now I think we can bounce. ”

I don't know why, but I've never seen an asthma like that fail.

# 71 Their Reason: What kind of story?

“I'm sorry.”

I still haven't forgotten how the Lord is dying with his miserable face.

“I'm so sorry... but can I ask you a favor? ”

Not one.

Two, three... ten. No, Bags.

Whatever the Lord said, I was confident of keeping everything. We were all saved by the Lord.

So please get up and keep leading us.

Then... I will continue to follow any orders.

“He's a terrible son... but he's my only son. ”

The last thing the Lord was worried about was his child.

The one who must be born as the sole defiant of the Duke of Lysha and continue as a family.

A son who grew up so arrogantly because he took all the love of his family because he was the only child.

He was worried about his son and worried about him.

“No matter how ugly... he's my only child. ”

I realized it was too late, but the Lord did his best to educate his children.

But the result was a failure.

I didn't listen to anyone else, and I left arrogant, talented cunts around me.

He was neither talented nor willing to learn, but had an unsubstantiated belief that he was the best.

Duke Laisha's trash.

They called him the only successor to the Duke of Lycia.

“He will inherit the Lysha family... and he will protect the Lysha family. ”

I'm too worried about that.

The Lord worried about his child and the Duke of Lysha until the moment of his death.

“If you are not talented, you can try, and if you are not talented, you can learn. ”

Since I was very young, it was something the Lord used to say.

If you don't have the talent, you fill it with effort.

If you do not have the ability, it will be filled with learning.

Everyone is imperfect and must complete what they lack with effort and learning.

All the pretenses, knights, and soldiers who followed the lord tried to learn from his words.

Thus, it became an honor in the Kingdom of Mercia.

“But he has no talent and does nothing. I don't have the ability to do anything. ”

It's all his fault.

So lamenting, the Lord left us a final word.

“But... he will be the master of the Duke of Lysha." So please... I need you to help him. ”

Leaving that word, the master fell asleep as if dead.

And three days later, the Lord died. He went to sleep comfortably.

After the Lord's death, the Duke of Lycia has become a mess.

Surrounded by fraudsters and treacherous worshippers, as well as those who buy positions for money.

Many tears shed as the glorious Duke of Lycia turned into a garbage can.

However, I tried to do my best to remember the Lord's last request.

Many of them have been dismissed and expelled from the Duke of Lycia.

And the ships took his place.

As time passed, hope became invisible.

Then came the war. There's a huge war going on on on the continent.

And our kingdom of Mercia will face an empire that has only two continents.

Of course, as a family with military power, the Duke of Raisha also had to participate in the war.

I was nervous.

It was an army that did not know defeat when the Lord was there, but it seemed that the Lord's son would only know defeat.

And my guess was right.

We've lost. We've lost, we've lost, we've lost.

If the enemy had a great master, he would have acknowledged it.

If there were more enemies than us, they would understand.

But the enemy was weak.

Longevity was mediocre, numbers were smaller than us, and training was greater than us.

And yet, I lost.

A senseless charge, you were defeated when you saw the senseless damage.

It was such a disgraceful thing.

An army that has never been defeated in the great military kingdom of Mercia is losing the war.

What rumors are there in the Kingdom?

How far should the honorable Duke of Lydia fall?

Some of those who followed the Lord eventually told him that if he acted this way, he would be defeated.

However, the answer that came back was the proverbial, ’Everything is because you are incompetent.'

And then some of the people who had brought up the horse were excavated.

Many experienced commanders were defeated during the war.

Reason was the responsibility for defeat, but everyone in the army knew. that they were not excused for their defeat.

I was just distracted by Duke Lysha's sowing.

It was natural for the army to fall to the ground.

I joined the battle again in that state.

Certain defeat situation.

Our morale was low, and the operation was reckless.

I was finally surrounded by Imperial forces and barely escaped with the help of my allies.

However, Duke Laisha was unable to regain consciousness, even though tens of thousands of his allies had escaped with the sacrifice.

Now's our chance. We have to take the brute force.

It was nonsense.

If we march now, everyone will die.

I was so sure.

But…….

“Huh?"

I felt embarrassed when I saw the enemy escaping in panic.

In fact,

“Here's the enemy's secret! ”

“Even here!”

“We haven't dealt with it here either! ”

It looks like you tried to set it on fire, but some undisclosed secrets have been discovered.

Some of them were about attacking allies.

It's suspicious, too suspicious.

But you can't keep letting people know what you've found.

I collected all the data and sent it to the army, which prevented the enemy from attacking.

And this was just the beginning.

“Attack!”

“Run!”

The undefeated Empire has begun to flee under Duke Raisha's attack.

Who succeeded in the first counterattack against the Empire.

The assessment of Duke Raisha in the Kingdom of Mercia began to rise suddenly.
