Worst Hero Ever 214

Chapter 214 – I’m Definitely Going to Fuck You

After my words, there was a brief silence in the meeting room.
But it was only for a moment, and soon the knights rose like bees.

“Count, to suddenly attack like this.”
“Mondur Castle is a place firmly defended by the sword master, Knight Commander Pindolph, and his followers.”
“You’re right. If you try to attack at least once and fail, Callial Castle will be lost.”

I’m telling you to make an all-out attack so there’s no turning back.
Of course, I didn’t say this out of my mouth.

“Then how long are you going to stay here? Cheryl promised to move the Kras Police forces. If they hit Werner Castle, we can attack Mondur Castle at the same time.”

When the word “Craspolis” Comes up, everyone goes to hell.
His expression is like that of a 7-year-old kid whose toy was stolen, with dissatisfaction sticking to his cheeks.
But I won’t have anything to say.
Because no one can come up with a better solution.

“If we go on like this, all the knights here will know that our Castle of Callial will be isolated by Brother James and eventually come to an end. It’s amazing that you can go against my orders in the midst of this.”

Rockefel stood up and spoke as the representative.

“As someone who has been to Kraspolis, I know that there are quite a few armed forces there. But.”
“But?”
“Lady Cheryl… “
“Call me Countess. Because she became my wife.”
“… Whether you can really trust the Countess is another matter. In fact, I don’t understand why you entrusted the former Countess Werner to the current Countess Werner.”

Everyone nods their heads to see if Rockefel’s question evoked sympathy from the other articles.
At this point, I have to get angry once, so I’ll listen.
As he hit the desk hard with his fist, he deliberately raised his temper.

“Neither this nor that. What do you mean? Credit? It’s good. At what age! What time are you going to test Cheryl? In the meantime, what if the manor around Callial is eaten and isolated? Even then, can we maintain an equal alliance with the polis forces?”

I shouldn’t think that those who wield swords all the time will be able to crush me with their teeth.
Moreover, since they consider me Roy, the rightful heir to the county, I cannot refuse an order.

“Am I wrong? Please correct me if I am wrong. Because my ears are open.”

As expected, no one speaks.
This is why the military, i.E., The one who uses the brain is needed.
Roy’s side was all muscle monsters, perhaps because his mother’s family was a traditional knight family.

“Tell me quickly. If there is no objection, I will start the siege of Mondur tomorrow.”

I waited for about a minute, but nothing was said.

“The time to change my mind is past. As soon as the meeting is over, everyone is ready to go out. We start as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”
“… “
“Answer?”
“… All right.”

The answer is not very good, but I didn’t take it seriously because I was taking these guys as consumables.
Rather, there was something else to check.

“Rockefel, you come to the office.”

As a result of looking at it so far, Rockefel is still the right age, the right skills, and the head seems to work the best here.
That’s why he came all the way to Craspolis as a messenger.
Anyway, I called Rockefel into the Oval Office for a private interview.

“Would you like a glass of wine?”
“It’s okay.”
“But. What kind of drink is the article yes?”

But I don’t know why there is wine in the office of knight Roy.
Anyway, this guy doesn’t seem to live normally.
He’s a dead bastard anyway, so there’s no need to care more.

“Rockefel, the reason I called you is to hear how the war with James has progressed.”
“You know everything, don’t you?”
“I’m going to attack tomorrow, so I thought it wouldn’t be bad to listen to someone else’s mouth and sort it out.”

Actually, I didn’t know, so I asked, but Rockefel opened his mouth without any doubt.

“As the Count knows, the battle for succession was not unfavorable from the beginning. As soon as the former Count Werner passed away, the wizards, of course, went to Master James, but the knights came to us in the amount of eight.”

According to what I said, it is true that Roy had a much better advantage.
Even on the continent of Fantasia, the number of wizards and knights is about 1:5, so the number of knights is overwhelmingly large.
Even that ratio was calculated in the Empire with the Mage Tower, and even in the remote small kingdom of Willet, Count Werner’s family had fewer than 10 wizards in the first place, so in fact most of the power came to Roy.

“We were also optimistic about the situation. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when the commander of the Knights of Pindolph Mondur decided to support Master James.”

I had heard about the change of mind of Knight Commander Pindolph, who was also Cheryl’s father, several times before, but I didn’t understand this part the most.
Even I had only seen the Commander of the Knights of Findolph in person, though only once.
It was a strict and typical article that seemed to jump out of a textbook.
But why did such an article suddenly support James Werner, a Confucian wizard from the Imperial Mage Tower?

“I was very embarrassed, but I thought that the trend would not change. From then on, even the Count will know. In the Battle of the Southern Plains of the Temp River, Knight Commander Pindolf slaughtered the knights who were once his subordinates as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

As I listened to Rockefel’s words, there was something that bothered me.

“Did you think you took the wrong medicine?”
“Yes, every time we met on the battlefield, no matter how many times we tried to talk, we didn’t say a word and cut our old subordinates without mercy.”

It’s really strange.
Anyway it is
You said you didn’t talk to your old subordinates and just cut them off?
Even with the enemy of Cheolcheonji, if you meet on a single wooden bridge, you say something and then kill him.
Even though it was only for a short time, the knight commander I saw was strict, but he was by no means cold-hearted.

“… Okay. Go out Ready to leave by tomorrow.”
“Yes.”

After Rockefel left, I put my feet up on the desk in the office and rested my chin in thought.
James Werner.
Unlike Roy, he was good at hiding himself.
In the first place, it was mainly the second older brother who wanted me even in the count family, but the first older brother was not even interested.
The difference between the two mothers is also clear.

Both of them disliked me, but the way they treated me was obviously different.
While her second mother sarcastically mocked me right in front of her eyes, her first mother, to her horror, she embraced and defended me.
However, the proposal to send poison to Kras Manor came from her first mother, not her second mother.
Even if the front and back are different, there is no year that is so different.
If the eldest brother also inherited the blood, he must have been hiding something.

And that’s not all.
The first time I, possessed, saw James hyung at a family meal.
At that time, I scanned the entire family with the candidate skill ‘Evil Eye’ I received from Saerom.
The most notable person was James.

The reason is that Karma is abnormally high.
The first brother is a wizard and unlike Roy, who often goes outside to inspect, he only studies magic inside, so why is his karma so high?
I remember thinking that way.

And that question was finally answered after I was kicked out of Kras manor.
After rescuing Ling-Ling from the Witch’s Forest and catching the slave traders of the empire, the story of James’ brother came to my surprise.
They said that they would scatter the slaves supplied from the slave market to the Mage Tower, cross the Witch’s Forest, and deliver them to Count Berner of Willet Kingdom.

The trader is James Werner.
Surprisingly, the trading item was a native of Werner, where the older brother lives.
My father was probably alive at the time.
Seeing that the people of the land to rule were being traded as slaves, even I, a born evil man, felt a sense of crisis.

“Maybe they were buying gladiator slaves who were instantly ready to go.”

The gladiators were completely different from the common serfs.
From what I felt as I personally encountered them at the Monas City gladiator arena, they were unconventional in fighting.
Among mercenaries, bad mercenaries are similar to these guys.

The knights are a style that presses down with high mana cultivated through daily arduous training and standard swordsmanship.
On the other hand, gladiators prefer fighting that is specialized for survival, so they do not hesitate to do cowardly things such as gouging eyes or kicking hearts.
I don’t know if I can’t fight after doing such a shameful thing.
It was my idea that even fighting was dirty and that they fought well.

“Why didn’t Rockefel mention the gladiators?”

In the story, it is not said that Rockefel saw gladiators in his battle with Duke James.
If I had seen it, I would have said something.
I’m just talking about the commander of the Knights of Pindolph.

Taken together, James did not even use the gladiators he had been secretly importing into the territory.
Then why did they needlessly buy foreign gladiator slaves?
Why did the natural knight, Findolph Mondur, commit an incomprehensible betrayal?

All kinds of questions floated in my mind like a vast sea, and I began to put the pieces together one by one with a scoop.
The clues gathered and gathered together to form a single shape, and there was only one conclusion that I could draw from this.

“Sarom.”
[What’s going on?]

It’s a fairly long call.
It was nice to meet you, so we started talking in a casual conversation.

“What were you doing?”
[I came down to my hometown because it was a holiday.]
“Is there a holiday in the demon realm?”
[Yes.]
“What the hell is this town like?”
[Come up if you are interested.]

Tick-tick is still the same.
I’ll start with the main point.

“Saerom, is James the devil candidate?”
[Why are you asking that?]
“If you’ve been watching me, you know why I’m asking this?”

My conclusion is this
James Werner.
There was a possibility that my first older brother was a devil candidate like me.
And the leader of the Knights of Pindolph was bound to him by a certain demon candidate skill.
If the older brother is a candidate for the devil, he will have to accumulate karma, so it is understandable that he sold the locals into slavery.

After hearing my words, Saerom doesn’t say anything for a long time, then says a short word.

[I can’t tell you if James Werner is a demon candidate or not.]

Today, Saerom works hard against the iron wall.
Then, what will I do if I go up to the realm of demons?

[By the way, songpyeon is delicious.]
“Saerom, let’s hear that I’m eating your songpyeon… “
[In hell, there are people who make songpyeon professionally. To be precise, would you say undead? The necromancers who command the skeletons make Songpyeon 24 hours a day every holiday. It is more efficient than a factory.]
“!”

A bit of an odd explanation.
Saerom is not an explanation bug.
She is a girl who knows the value of one piece of information.
That bitch suddenly said something without asking.

This is obviously a message from Saerom to help me.
It was impossible to tell openly whether or not James Werner was a candidate, but it was clear that he was referring to the fact that he at least had skills equivalent to necromancer.

A skill commonly used in the Demon Realm.
In other words, it indirectly tells how James made the commander of the Knights of Pindolph on his side.
Since he used the Demon World skill, he also answered the question of whether James’ identity was a candidate.

“Saerom, be prepared if you keep being uncooperative with me like that.”

A wrap-up for the high-ranking demon lords who are listening to our conversation, just in case.
I don’t know if I’ll be fooled by this awkward acting, but the important thing is the form.
Even later, if a problem arises, the difference between the packaging and the unpacking is stark.

[Oh, I’m scared to death.]

And apart from helping me, that bitch is something I plan on winning in the Demon Realm.
