Chapter 265 – Chapter 25 – The Curtain Rises
“… Klaus, be honest. Weren’t you trying to attack the east by this route?”
“Please. I know what’s on the other side right now. And Your Majesty? Can’t you just do what you normally do here?”
“Oh, sorry. No, that’s my mistake Anyway, Klaus? That’s great. It was a place where no one could see the road, but I kept finding an access road like this.”
Caelana and Cecily, who had followed Yulia’s words, nodded as if her words were correct.
Even when I saw it from the entrance of the forest, it was hard for a single person to move, let alone a space for cavalrymen to come and go.
It seemed to be such a forest that once you enter, you will never come out again.
When a horse wants to go into a place where even turning the jockey is not easy.
To be honest, everyone couldn’t help but tilt their heads.
However, after a day or two passed, everyone noticed that the speed of advance had not slowed down at all despite the passage of time.
That the man who was guiding the army right in front knew all about the geography of this place.
“It’s nothing, Your Highness the Demon King. Kingdom-side soldiers and mid-level commanders who were mainly employed here when they were in the West. And I got some information from the fairy rangers.”
“But gathering information like that and giving direct guidance like this must be completely different, right?”
“There is nothing difficult. While serving in the military, I learned a lot about the geography of the place with only information and maps. Because in such a hectic situation, there is no way to conduct a preliminary survey.”
It was a bit ridiculous reason, but those who tilted their heads for a while eventually nodded their heads.
There were so many ridiculous achievements that Klaus had accumulated during the First Continental War, so it seemed like he was just passing it on.
In fact, Klaus once collected information from all over the kingdom, so did Kayla? She seemed to agree while tilting her head.
In fact, it is also a matter of collecting and organizing a lot of information.
From Klaus’ point of view, this is what he has already done several times.
If I had gathered information and checked the map I made myself, I wouldn’t have reached this speed.
Using his sense of direction and route skills, he also threatened whenever the time came, pushing the monsters into the area where the fairy rangers were scouting.
No matter how secretly you move, it’s hard to fool all the fairies who are focusing on reconnaissance.
As a result of using this route repeatedly before and before that, the biggest problem was the rangers wandering around the forest.
So, at first, he went out and ambush the rangers.
By reducing the number of rangers like that, the odds of finding an ally were lowered.
The problem was that as the teams disappeared one by one, the rangers also hurriedly withdrew, strengthened the borders of the forest entrance, and cooperated with the humans.
For that reason, surprise could not be considered the first solution.
Another way to get the rangers to pay attention to other things.
With that, Klaus lured or threatened the monsters and pushed them into them.
Of course, it would be a big deal if I returned to my ally, so I did this using my skills.
Thanks to this, it was possible to force a power loss on the fairy side.
At the same time, they focused on fighting monsters rather than reconnaissance, which is their original mission.
It’s never a rookie who gets scared just because of monsters, but it can cause confusion.
What I would have wondered about why the monsters were reacting this way was that it was a reaction to the fact that they increased the number and number of scouts in the urgent situation that war had broken out.
Those parts overlapped and overlapped, eventually leading to the current situation.
The fairies who were returning with the injured were first blocked by Yulia and destroyed.
At the same time, they pushed forward and attacked the northern border fortresses that they knew nothing about.
And in the meantime, Klaus and Planche even assassinate the commander of the Ranger side.
They didn’t even have proper siege weapons, but that didn’t matter.
The human side, who secretly believed in the fairy rangers, could not stop the moment when a group of horsemen suddenly rushed out of the forest and rushed through the gate.
“He is said to be in charge of the fortresses here.”
A man who is thrown in front of Yulia, having lost even the chance to commit suicide, let alone escape.
Yulia, who looked at him for a while, looked at Klaus as if wondering what to do.
He seemed to be looking at the human aristocracy he had never seen before, wondering if he knew very little about it, even though he had no idea what it was worth.
And whether Yulia’s prediction was correct.
A very small smile appeared to cross Klaus’ lips, but then disappeared.
“Long time no see.”
“Hey, Klaus!”
“You look much better than before.”
Looking at it this far, it would have been quite a finite atmosphere.
Except for one cold word that came out of Klaus’s mouth next.
“The Commander has gained a lot of weight.”
Just as he said, the man caught in Yulia’s hand was overweight to the point where people would say he was overweight.
It made me think that maybe the reason why I couldn’t escape from here was not simply because of the surprise attack, but because my body was too slow to avoid it.
“Looking at the soldiers on the way, I saw some of them skin-to-bone, but those who fight starve and those who only give orders are like that. You guys have prepared something else, but it looks terrible to me.”
“What the traitor is saying! After all, the title of hero was too much for a commoner! At that time, he should have killed you and your followers, even if he had to accuse you of treason!”
“What can I do about your lack of ability? If you were going to get rid of it, you should have gotten rid of it at least with all of you. It doesn’t seem like they were pushing hard, so don’t sneak around and run away now.”
Klaus giggled and approached the nobleman who was swearing at him.
I’ve seen him a few times, but he’s not the kind of person who needs to remember his name.
He just knew that he was one of those noble factions who had been very steeped in aristocratic supremacy and had been harassing him since the Continental War.
In addition, he was very jealous of other people’s majors, and even talked about whether everyone could do it.
When such a similar opportunity came to him, he was scared and tried to get out to the safest place as much as possible. He was also a guy with such an ugly appearance.
“It’s obvious if you don’t look. It looks like a war is about to break out, so is it here that you pick and choose? Enemies won’t come here. You must have thought that even if the central and southern defense lines were breached, there would be nothing to be gained here, so it would be relatively safe, right?”
“No! No! Put me in the same class as cowards like you…”
Wow!!-
In an instant, the nobleman’s face jerked to the side.
Klaus’s hands didn’t do anything.
Yulia, who was listening next to him, had hit the nobleman on the cheek with the whip he used to urge him on.
“That’s…”
In an instant, the flesh was torn and blood began to flow from the wound.
If he had a strong will, even in this situation, he would not have reaped the ferocity even if he had been swearing.
However, this aristocrat in front of Klaus was just a nobleman in disguise.
To see him trembling in fear when violence was inflicted on him right away.
They would have been prepared and worked hard on their own, but the incompetence of the command was still a big problem.
Why was the Western Union again defeated in the Second Continental War?
If you prepare thoroughly, what will you do? The head coaches who have to operate it don’t follow.
No matter how valiant and well fought the soldiers were, if not, at least they had learned the know-how from the survivors of the First Continental War.
The high-ranking commanders who were supposed to lead them to the battlefield were so messed up that it was natural for them to collapse on all sides.
No matter how much you pick and choose as royalty, nobles, and commoners.
Even if he becomes a prophet, even if he becomes an outstanding politician, even if he becomes an undefeated commander like now.
These damn things were unchanging, fate-like beings.
No matter what kind of shit Klaus himself says, their unreasonable actions and thoughts don’t change.
“His Highness the Demon King.”
“Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll understand. It’s a mess with nowhere to write. There must have been a reason why the commanding officer did not even show his nose while the soldiers were fighting hard.”
Looking at Klaus in front of her, Yulia narrowed his eyes.
This kind of garbage, it means that you have to deal with it with your own hands anyway.
At that, Klaus nodded his head and said he would definitely clean it up with his own hands.
The people who harassed and put down themselves, now the time has come for them to pay the price.
“Whoa.”
Yulia let out a sigh and turned around, leaving behind the words, “You do it yourself.”
Kaela and Cecily followed, and the only thing left was a planche that had been quietly waiting.
Shuk-.
Klaus beckoned, and the soldiers waiting by his side grabbed the nobleman.
Grab your arms and legs tightly and pull your head to lengthen your neck.
The nobleman, who finally realized what this situation meant, hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Hey, hold on! Hang on, Klaus. Ha, you surrendered. I surrendered…”
“It is your freedom to surrender, and it is our freedom to accept it. In that sense, it seems that your surrender was not accepted as a real surrender. And why would I accept a locust like you?”
Sereung-.
A soldier slightly drew his sword and held it out to Klaus.
After staring at the knife for a moment, Klaus shook his head slowly.
Just how much this aristocrat has bothered himself.
There was no way it would end with such a simple death as cutting off his head.
After turning around, Planche draws the dagger he was holding in his bosom.
Then, without hesitation, he swung the dagger and cut the nobleman’s neck as it was firmly held.
Jureuk! Jurrreuk!-
Every time my heart beats violently, every time it sends red fuel to every corner of my body.
Dark red blood gushed out from the aristocrat’s severed throat.
“Kkeuk! Oops! Kkeuk!”
Not to the point of dying instantly, but to the point where it has no choice but to die naturally over time.
So that you can clearly see what kind of wounds you have suffered and how you are dying.
After roughly sweeping the blood off the dagger, Klaus held it out to Planche again.
Then, as if she knew this would happen, the maid who received it on a handkerchief in advance wiped off the blood and oil from her weapon and carefully inserted it into the scabbard.
“Damn it!! Whoops!”
Perhaps it was judged that there was no need to hold on to them anymore, and the soldiers threw the nobles away and retreated.
They told them that it was okay to leave now, and even the demons all withdrew, and now all that was left was one nobleman who was lying on the spot and bleeding slowly and dying.
“You must be wondering what kind of mess this is.”
“… Kkeukreuk, kkeureuk…”
“I’m sure you’re still thinking that I’m a damn traitor. Well, if you look at it broadly, it’s betrayal, so it wouldn’t be bad to die while masturbating like that. If I had to say one word before you die.”
Klaus dared to lean down and whisper in the man’s ear like a demon.
“Your family will follow soon, so don’t worry. Your son is a headless ghost, your daughter is a gansal, and the rest of your family is hanging by their necks on a rope.”
“Damn it! Oops!!”
“I remember everything. One thing you said to me, one thing you did. Return everything as it is expect.”
