The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

Back when Isaac was spending his time in the capital.

In the forests that stretched north of Count Brandar's territory, there were about ten people trying to escape from the Reed Kingdom.

An army of the Marquis of Well Rod stands at the checkpoint on the road.

So they hired a local hunter as a guide, trying to escape the country through the forest beast path.

"We're almost out on the river."Let's take a break there. Come on, hurry up. "

I'm not used to the woods.

"Walk slowly."

Mercenaries complain, but the hunters go further and further.

I was about a few meters away.

"Hey, wait--"

"-Let go!"

The mercenary's words were interrupted by a voice heard from a nearby mule.

The mercenaries didn't have time to be surprised, they were shot through with many arrows like a halibut.

A soldier wearing leaves and tree branches approaches from the surrounding area after seeing arrows strike everyone.

"Before you enter the sword range, shoot your head out."It's ridiculous that someone pretending to be dead would get hurt in a counter-attack. "

Following the Captain's orders, the soldiers will definitely stab him.

When death is confirmed, the corpse is wrapped in cloth and taken out of the forest.

There, they inspect the packages and sort out the goods that would have been looted.

This is for the benefit of Marquis Warwick.

However, with regard to money, it was silent to divide it into units that dealt with it.

“There are reports that we have captured or captured people who are trying to escape from various places.”

This is also thanks to Lord Dodge.

Isaac's uncle, Andy Halifax, was the commander and the nanny's husband, Baron Oliver Burton, was the assistant to the border blockade in the northern county of Brandar.

This was a choice that everyone, including myself, would like to "put foil on their bodies", but it was a plain job, so there was no dissatisfaction.

Besides, Dodge is accompanying him as a consultant, so the substantial commander was presumed to be him.

"No, this is the solution used by the Fartyr Kingdom."It's just an imitation of an experience that reminds me of the difficulty of hiring people from an enemy state. ”

Upon arriving near the border, Dodge suggested that he should pay for local hunters, woodpeckers, etc.

And there shall be a formation, and checkpoints, along the streets.

That way, we'll try to escape using the Forest Beast Path.

At that time, I asked the hunters to use the designated route to guide me.

If you know which route to use to escape, you can easily place an ambush.

A bitter experience that Dodge once had when he retreated from the Kingdom of Fartyl.

I took advantage of that opportunity.

“I think we succeeded because we had the military money to implement this plan.I knew it was originally a rich country, but when I checked it with my own eyes, I realized that the Reed Kingdom was not an enemy. ”

Dodge has distant eyes.

I didn't want to be reminded of the difference with Rockwell's Kingdom.

"No, even other Marquises can't afford to make a lot of money for a separate unit."Only the Marquis of Well Rod could be so rich, benefiting from the trade with the Dwarves.I'm a rural deputy, and I'm just the husband of Lord Enfield's nanny, and I have nothing to do with the bright world. ”

Baron Barton replies, "Everyone is not wealthy."

But Dodge shook his head.

“The whole Reed Kingdom is rich, not just the Marquis of Well Rod.Even the poor people I'd seen before I came here didn't look hungry.In the Kingdom of Rockwell, the poor, if not the poor, are fighting hunger.Given the fact that we cannot procure food locally in the territory of our allies, it is likely that we are investing heavily in food production.I envy you for not having trouble eating. really..... "

Maybe Dodge was hungry too.

I couldn't empathize with Andy or Baron Barton, who lived in the Reed Kingdom.

“We cannot allow such a wonderful country to go to war.Let's catch some Jasonite allies. ”

But I could understand it and I could empathize with it.

"Yes, let's get rid of the mercenaries first."Not only Lord Enfield, but Lord Warwick will be delighted. ”

“The more other armies occupy the city, the more people will try to escape.I'm still busy. "

The three men were united in their desire to carry out their mission in a serious and carefree manner.

----------

The Marquis of Wilmente, who was rising from the south of Count Brandar's realm, split his army into two parts.

One is the main unit that I lead.

The other is the unit of the Count of Bristol.

Count Brandar's main force is lost in the Emerald Lake battle.

There is no more organized resistance.

For this reason, hundreds of troops were dispatched to the surrounding area, mainly from the main force, and they acted with priority on the pressurization speed.

Not only villages without defense facilities, but also medium-sized cities were also surrendered when the soldiers captured the substitute's family when it was said that Count Brandar was involved in the death of Elias.

Pressurization is going well.

There, the Marquis of Wilmente and the Count of Bristol rendezvous in the southernmost metropolis of Count Brandar's concentrated streets.

“We didn't have any major problems.What about Uncle Bristol? "

"I heard that Lord Elias was involved in his death, and there was only one incident where the remaining people set fire to the Mansion and burned themselves to death."It's not a battle. ”

"I guess. I didn't know that only some people would betray Uncle Brandar.However, it appears that neither of them was heard of until His Majesty's treachery.I was in such a hurry to look at it, and I felt pity. "

"It's the same here." I guess you didn't think I was going to get His Majesty Elias. "

When they remembered what had happened, they often shut up.

If we made a mistake, we would have tasted the sorrow of the loser.

I couldn't help laughing at them for being miserable.

"It's because of Lord Enfield that I feel so pity now."I could not help His Majesty Elias, but if Lord Enfield hadn't moved, he would have been under Jason.If we invade the Fartyr Kingdom, the rest of our allies will remain silent.It would have been a muddy war that would have turned all the neighboring countries into enemies. ”

The Marquis of Wilamente clenched his fist.

The Count of Bristol did not miss it.

"Are you feeling sorry for me?"

The Earl of Bristol judged that from the flow of the story and the look on his face.

The Marquis of Wilmente smiles mockingly.

"Are you frustrated? I don't know if I'm sorry.As the head of the royal partisans, I was confident that I would cross with other nobles.Whether it was the Well Rod Marquis or the Windsor Marquis.But the truth is, I can't rely on the young people who were students until a few months ago.Lord Enfield always took the lead when Jason asked for help.If I were alone, I would have condemned Jason's actions and been caught on the spot.I could not make this situation by myself.... honestly, I'm sorry. "

The words spilled by the Marquis of Wilmente surprised the Count of Bristol.

But I didn't teach it.

Shut up and pour wine into his glass.

"Marquis Wilmente is still good."You killed your brother's family by mistaking me for Lord Enfield.I've become a laughing stock of aristocrats all over the kingdom. ”

"I remember that time.I also thought it was an imitation of a hurry. "

"Yeah... but Lord Wilmente didn't laugh at me."

"I wasn't in a position to laugh about other people either."In Nathan's ten-year-old ceremony, three of his relatives died.However, it was said in the shadows that he was a coward who would not retaliate.But I still don't think it was a mistake to avoid fighting Lord Enfield. ”

"I agree."

This time, the Marquis of Wilmente pours the wine into the glass of the Count of Bristol.

There is something in common with each other.

─ ― The people who saw the painful eyes because of Isaac's involvement.

It may be thought that they licked each other's wounds, but it was also necessary for mental hygiene to talk between people with heartbreaks.

Besides, I can't usually talk like this.

Even after the Civil War, I was still at war.

The exhilaration made their mouths lighter.

By the way, I'd like to know what Lord Wilmente thinks.

“What is my idea?”

"I gave my throne to Lord Enfield."

The Marquis of Wilmente smiled bitterly, “You didn't hesitate to come and ask me directly.”

"...... after I take the throne, I can't be Lord Enfield."His Majesty Elias, who could command Lord Enfield without fear, was rare.Even if it wasn't for Fred or Lord Warwick, the reign might have been lost.Can you imagine Uncle Bristol making himself king and giving orders to Lord Enfield? "

"I can't. I can easily imagine the opposite, but I can't imagine what I would command."But I don't think it's regrettable.That person is not comparable to me. "

As the saying goes, there was no colour of remorse on the face of the Count of Bristol.

I just have distant eyes somewhere.

"I feel like I understand that feeling."Even my predecessor, the Well Rod Marquis, didn't think of a way to fly in the sky.Lord Enfield is out of common sense, so to speak, on the side of making history.If you can show the difference in power, you'll feel more impressed than you can't win.It's just that Viscount Sanders is different. "

The Marquis of Wilmente touches on Randolph.

At the time of Isaac's change to Randolph, the Earl of Bristol was wondering what he was going to say.

He had the same feelings as the Marquis of Wilmente.

"Compared to Lord Enfield, Viscount Sanders has......"

"In the past, he said that although he could study, physical education tended to be a type in the family of civil servants called Imaichi.What the hell is that? Even though I'm a fighter general nowadays, I can't believe it!It's impossible! "

I was more jealous of Randolph than of Isaac.

In Isaac's case, "since childhood, I've been like that", and I'm less confronted.

But not Randolph.

I've known him for years, and I knew him well.

― ― The man who was in martial arts suddenly became known as the Warlord.

This was the subject of jealousy from those who were confident in martial arts.

― ― If Randolph had led his army instead, his fame might have belonged to him.

Instead of being a general, a mediocre man could be named as the most powerful candidate of the future marshal.

It just so happens that Randolph had Isaac to win, and many people think that “I could have done better” when it came to commanding the army.

The Marquis of Wilmente and the Count of Bristol were among them.

The year was near, and somewhere in my heart, I was ahead of the opponent who thought, "This guy can't be defeated."

The discontent is great.

"I know. I know." That Viscount Sanders? I still think, 'Really?' ”

"You think it's strange, don't you?The world would have lifted it too much by calling it Reed Kingdom's first Mighty General.Of course, I think Viscount Sanders did a good job..... "

If only we had the chance to fight on the battlefield.

“Yes, but Lord Enfield doesn't want a war with another country.This civil war could be the last thing we need to do. "

"However, even if you don't make a fool of yourself in search of a handful, you can't be a handful even if you're active in such a sweep."

"I want a war with another country.Of course, I don't want to fight without cause like Jason. "

The booze continues with the folly as a dish of wine.

It wasn't a fierce battle, it was just a battle that ended with a surrender.

----------

On the other hand, some people can't afford it.

Marquis Warwick pushed some of the territory-damaged mercenaries into the western city of Count Brandar's Realm.

“Lord Enfield will listen to your excuses if you throw away your weapons and surrender quietly.”

That's what prompted me to surrender.

For the mercenaries who ravaged the territory of Marquis Warwick, this was their last hope.

Hired with money, they have no reason to fight to the end like nobles.

I was inclined to surrender early.

The family of the deputy entrusted with the city was also weak in their intentions to fight the war.

Our master was captured in the Battle of Emerald Lake, and there are only a hundred guards left in the city.

There are about eight hundred mercenaries, but their morale has been low since they were kicked.

I wasn't ready to fight.

Moreover, there are over 5,000 Marquis Warwick armies surrounding this city.

Instead of being killed, it was better to surrender.

And Isaac cares about his people.

I thought you'd appreciate opening the castle quietly and not exposing the city to war.

But there are those who will not forgive it.

Well, that's what you came out with, you idiot.

― ― It was Marquis Warwick himself who called for surrender.

Those who surrendered will be furious.

"I thought you said that if you surrendered quietly, Lord Enfield would have an excuse!"Are you going to be overturned lightly! "

"No, I didn't overturn the words.I said I'd listen to your excuses. "

"I didn't expect you, the Marquis of Warwick, to play with such a puzzle..."Don't you know how to be ashamed? "

You will be the ones who will not be ashamed!

Marquis Warwick is not only angry.

He was angry, too.

"What do you think the mercenaries you sent did!?"They took my people's property and killed them!You think you'll be forgiven for killing people you don't even know how to fight!Even if Lord Enfield forgives you, this Quentin Warwick won't forgive you! "

His anger was over the killing of his people.

Count Brandar sent the mercenaries because it was a village of special interest to the Marquis of Warwick.

― ― A village that once had no uprising when its territory was in chaos.

The towns and villages in the territory were easy to shop in Count Brandar's territory, so groceries did not soar.

It seems that the merchant also had that degree of reason.

So even though there was some confusion, there was no uprising.

Maybe they could afford it, or they could help me clean up the mess.

Marquis Warwick knew why the uprising didn't happen, but he was grateful to them.

That's why I could never forgive those who raided their village.

"I don't want any prisoners!" Kill them all! "

Under the orders of Marquis Warwick, soldiers attack mercenaries.

As expected, the unarmed can't resist the soldiers.

Surrounded by the surroundings, he tries to survive for a little while, intercepting his allies and trying to escape inside.

However, one piece, one piece of cabbage, will become smaller and smaller.

The Marquis of Warwick grabbed the head of the son of a deputy in this city and showed him the sight.

"Next, you guys." But I won't kill you right now.I'll kill you when I feel like it. "

"Lord Warwick! At least have mercy on yourself!"

Then take me with you!

He asked me to do him some harm, but the Marquis of Warwick kicked his ass.

I will not have mercy on them.

Besides, I would kill a mercenary, but the nobility didn't intend to kill me here in Nori (...).

Confirming that they will be taken, Marquis Warwick speaks to the secretary.

Where's next?

"It seems that the largest mercenary group has fled to this city."The other mercenaries, when driven away by Amanda, seem to have left on the scale of a few to dozens.Maybe it's time to disperse the main unit. "

"I don't even know when I'm leaving, just Noloma."I wanted to kill someone who was used to fighting. "

Mercenaries who are used to the battlefield are also used to plundering.

He was the most hateful opponent of Marquis Warwick.

Well then, let's divide two thousand from the main team.I don't want to lose to Lord Wilmente for the number of cities he has conquered, even though we had mercenary units here.I have to appeal to Lord Enfield. "

"We can't waste the chance we've made."We will do our best. "

"Please."

My men knew why Marquis Warwick had chosen Isaac as the next king.

That's why I knew Marquis Warwick wouldn't kill his deputy's family.

― ― Importance of judicial decisions by law.

If you die in battle, whether you are a traitor or "you fought well, even in unfavorable circumstances.Some people praise you for being ready. "

However, there is no one to praise if they are officially recognized as sinners by the trial and executed.

“Isaac thinks he's trying to keep Jason from making a hero,” and Marquis Warwick keeps him prisoner.

That threat was a harassment to the best of our ability.

----------

The Allied forces of Windsor Lancaster, invading from the eastern side of Count Brandar's territory, were in a similar situation to the forces of the Marquis of Wilmente.

What was different was that Theodore was Isaac's father-in-law.

"If you surrender without facing your teeth, I will tell Lord Enfield about it in the capacity of an in-law." By persuading you, you were disarming.

We didn't cheat like the Marquis of Warwick.

Just treat it politely as a prisoner of war and send it to the capital.

I wish the war would end like this all the time.

"I see. By the way, were you lucky to make such an appointment?Theodore's name may be scarred. "

Such a promise was "As Isaac's father, I will tell you that I have surrendered."

The circumstances alone will not allow the relatives of the nobility who followed Count Brandar.

In that case, Theodore's face will be crushed.

Daniel, the son of Count Lancaster, who had been entrusted with the army, was worried about it.

"It'll be fine. All I promised was to tell (...)."I did not promise to make a life-saving plea.It was just a misunderstanding.Besides, the great crime of betraying the royal family cannot be forgiven by my name.I thought they'd forgive me. They're stupid. "

"Oh, my God, I say that my child resembles a parent, but isn't Lord Theodore resembling a righteous son?"

"I want you to stop saying that."It's something that anybody would do. ”

Well, that's right.

The two of them laughed.

Originally, whether or not you promised, you will not damage the other party's trust.

But I was dealing with a very sinful person.

Besides, they would never see each other again.

You don't have to worry about trust.

If we cut through there, we could do it.

"But Lord Enfield is going to have a lot of trouble hearing you whine,"

“It would be within the scope of his duties as King's surrogate.Thank you for the hard work. "

This time, they both laughed.

They also understood the importance of imposing their work well on someone.

I usually assign it to my subordinates, but this time it is to my superior, the King's deputy.

Unlike Elias, Isaac would handle it himself.

For that matter, we can make it easier.

But does Theodore hate his son-in-law?

Daniel asked wonderingly to Theodore as she tried to push the job.

Isaac is the savior that saved Pamela.

Theodore himself was not a lazy type, so he didn't know why he was trying to push the job.

"I don't hate it..." Sometimes I feel scared. "

“That's inevitable.There are times when I feel fear, too.But Judith seems to be in love with Lord Enfield.If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if Theodore could accompany me... "

"Miss Amanda seems to be in love, too."If you become a popular woman and become a king...He is not unknown to Lord Daniel.From my father-in-law's point of view, let me tell you that I think Lady Judith would be a good match. "

"I hope you don't say such mean things."

"I can't help it." I can't say we should get married. "

Theodore tried to make a "promise of form only," and Daniel read, "I don't think I want to make a promise."

But I can't help but understand Theodore's words either.

The two of them laughed and deceived, then returned to the world.

I knew that the situation would stabilize and not be overturned, so I could afford it.
