episode_0015

Under Irene’s orders, the Brans army’s soldiers began charging toward Zeeland Castle all at once.

“Shoot!”

At a single word from Luna, who was stationed on the castle wall, the elite archers belonging to the Raven mercenary group began showering arrows all at once.

An overwhelming amount of arrows were raining down on the enemy soldiers from above, and it certainly seemed like they were inflicting heavy damage –

‘There are too many… … !’

It is a large army of over 20,000 people.

Of course, not all 20,000 people flocked to the eastern gate of this place – even if the soldiers were divided, the number was too large.

It is quite natural that no matter how many arrows you pour down, you cannot stop them all.

furthermore.

Boulders were flying one by one from the catapult in the distance.

bang!

A roar so loud that it even pierced the soldiers’ shouts struck Luna’s eardrums.

It’s disadvantageous.

It was a shame because Master Swen mainly focused on repairing the castle walls, but I was afraid that if he had invested in other internal affairs, the castle gates might have been breached very quickly.

‘Swen… … !’

Swen said.

The only way is to conclude an armistice agreement.

To be honest, I still don’t know how to make an agreement – but Luna trusted Swen.

Because he was the first colleague and first strategist who believed in him and came in.

‘Please… … I’ll hold on as long as I can… … ASAP… … !’

And the stage is again under the castle walls.

Tifa in front of the door raised her ax and shouted loudly at the soldiers from her horse saddle.

“Everyone! Attack the catapult first! Do you understand?!”

“Wooo!!!”

As if to show the results of their daily training, the soldiers under Tifa were charging at the enemy with great courage.

Although there was a clear difference in military strength, the morale of the soldiers did not seem to be dampened.

That’s because their great general, Tifa, was at the vanguard.

“At once, you bastards!”

Tifa was swinging her ax freely and slaughtering enemy soldiers.

A small stir was rising among the Brans army soldiers as they saw the arrows being fired at a much faster rate than the arrows fired from the castle walls.

“What, what! That monstrous bastard… … !”

“Coming this way!”

Irene, who noticed that the soldiers’ ranks were collapsing, quickly grasped the situation for some reason.

Up ahead, the female general was swinging an ax to overwhelm the soldiers on this side.

‘Hoo.’

Even though it was a weak country, there were some pretty useful people there.

Iren shouted loudly at the soldiers.

“Everyone, please step back!”

At Iren’s words, the battle stopped for a moment.

Soon he rode his horse and slowly moved forward.

“My name is Irene Juliette. What is your name?”

“You know what to do, tasha!”

Tifa said, pointing the ax blade at Iren.

“If you want to fight while having this complicated conversation, just come in!”

It was something that someone who values chivalry would consider extremely rude, but-

Iren seemed to really like Tifa’s reaction and said with a low smile.

“A friend who is nothing short of a beast. I like people like you. But!”

visor!

The sound of the two women’s axes clashing with the huge sword resonates as if it could eat heaven and earth.

“Friends with a wild nature like you have a short lifespan. That’s such a shame!”

“Why is your tongue so long?! Come on, you bastard!”

visor!

The two share the sum a few times.

That alone was enough to gauge each other’s level.

At this point, it was Tifa who was confused.

‘… … ‘She’s strong, this woman!’

Female knight Irene.

Tifa, of course, had heard that name before.

But – Tifa was the type of person who believed what she saw and heard rather than rumors.

Moreover, the rumor was that he showed excellent ability in siege warfare, but since there was nothing else said, I thought his personal combat ability was only so-so.

After dividing the sum a few times, you will realize it without difficulty.

I know I can’t beat this woman with my own abilities!

‘Damn it!’

but.

In the first place, if you think about it one by one like that, how could the Lunarien Army you belong to defeat a powerful nation like Brans County?

Besides, didn’t that corrupt young flower boy say something? I will definitely reach an armistice agreement.

therefore-

‘Hold on! ‘You have to hang in here!’

visor!

“How about being more sincere? Otherwise, you could really die.”

Tifa bit her lip and shouted at Iren’s words.

“Your bitch’s head will be the one that falls on the floor! Come in, you bastard!”

“Ha!”

The only one who can turn this situation around now is Swen, the tactician.

Holding on until the results come back from Swen –

Thinking only of that, Tifa continued to strike the ax blade against the opponent she could not defeat.

* * *

He got on his horse and rode away quickly.

If I were to go to Kihara Castle, where I stayed before joining the Lunarien Army, I would have arrived in one day – but the place where the monarch, Lyn Brans, lived was Anel Castle, a little further away.

One day, two days… … I somehow managed to get to Annell Castle while sleeping on the saddle of a horse.

‘Can I just go to the palace?’

In the game, if you press the ‘Diplomacy’ button and then the ‘Execute’ button, you can have an audience with the other country’s monarch –

Trying to actually have an audience with the monarch was not an easy task.

“Stop!”

Because it’s already blocked like this, you can’t even get in from the front gate.

“Who is your guy?”

‘… … hmm. ‘Will it work?’

I cannot use the 1300 gold dowry I brought for diplomacy.

I said, taking out 30 gold from my personal wallet.

There was a lot of bleeding because 30 gold out of 130 gold was given away, but if I couldn’t get in here, the Lunarien army would be destroyed, so what could I do?

“I am not a suspicious person. Is there anything that can be done with this?”

“… … Hmm… … hmm. You may go in. Come in!”

Fortunately, it worked.

Actually, I expected it. There was no such setting in [Garand Eternity Saga], which I played, but in other games of a similar genre made by the game company that developed it, there was a function to bribe guards like this.

Anyway, I was able to enter the interior of Annel Castle safely.

‘Wow.’

When I entered the castle, I was immediately captivated by the scenery unfolding before my eyes.

The cityscape was like something out of a fantasy game teaser movie, and I suddenly realized that I had entered a different world.

That’s because the only cities I’ve seen so far were the average-sized Kihara Castle and the crumbling small town of Zeeland Castle.

The number of people walking around inside was so large that it was on another level.

It was worthy of its reputation as the largest castle in the Central Continent.

‘I don’t have time to do this.’

I immediately found a place that looked like a royal castle.

Finding it itself wasn’t difficult.

This is because there was a castle in the center with a spire that could easily accommodate a monarch.

‘It’s definitely over there. let’s go.’

I quickly ran to where the castle was.

*

When I entered the castle gate, I was worried that meeting the monarch might not be as easy as I thought because I was caught by the guard.

Fortunately, meeting the monarch itself was not that difficult.

Of course, after completing the light physical examination, there were soldiers on both sides as if watching, but it didn’t matter how many times I did this as long as I could have an audience with the monarch.

It was much better than wasting time in vain because we couldn’t meet because of some strange condition.

‘Hey.’

The interior of the royal castle of Castle Annel was extravagant.

The furniture looked very expensive, and the various decorations that gave both a sense of intimidation and dignity were enough to make me, an outsider, feel very shabby.

This was even more so when you consider that the royal castle of Zeeland Castle was nothing more than a royal room made of bricks.

I didn’t know much about it because the interior design of the castle was unified in the game.

When I thought about it, it occurred to me that this difference was much more realistic.

No, since this is reality itself, it would be laughable to question whether it is true or not.

‘As expected, it’s good to have a large company.’

How far did we go by following the soldiers’ instructions?

“Please wait here.”

One of the soldiers guarding next to me said that and went forward, opened the door, and went in.

And after some time.

“Please come inside.”

good.

Will I finally have an audience with the monarch?

I remembered the line from the game and went inside with my heart pounding a little.

*

The door opens.

I stepped into the hallway leading to the royal throne room of Anel.

A long red carpet was laid out, and people who appeared to be generals of Brans’ army were lined up on both sides.

Some people might have been intimidated by the sight of them all looking at my face, but-

‘There’s no need for me to be scared.’

Now, I was the so-called ‘super boss’ who had come to conclude an agreement that was ‘100% bound to happen’.

They accept my agreement. No other results could be obtained. Because I, who has 100 intelligence, predicted that.

He walked forward without hiding his confidence.

And finally.

I was able to arrive in front of the throne room door.

In the throne room are the monarch, the messenger, and two guards to monitor my actions.

And it’s just the monarch’s trick.

Isn’t this the actual battlefield I came to as a messenger – the throne room of the royal castle?

I slowly opened the door, realizing what it felt like to be visiting the home team as an away player.

The door closes.

In my field of vision, the figure of a woman sitting on a throne appears to be bored.

Long blue straight hair and eyes as blue as the hair color.

Beautiful appearance with elegance.

Although she certainly had beauty that sparkled like a jewel, an aura was radiating from her that could not be explained simply by the word ‘pretty’.

In a way, it was natural. That beautiful woman with a petite body was the one who surpassed her two brothers and ascended to the position of supreme leader in Brans County.

The Lynn Brans I remember was just a woman with blue hair.

Since the portrait was done with dots, it didn’t really hit me that much even though it was a beautiful portrait.

But – when you actually see it, you have no choice but to understand.

That she is the monarch’s statue. You can tell at a glance that he is a person who will not tolerate being under others.

This is the first lady I’ve met since my first monarch, Runarien Inian.

Lin Brans was looking at me with a faint smile.

‘Next to… … ‘There’s no one.’

Is there no trickster?

There are a few people who come to mind when it comes to Lynn Brans’s secretaries. Is there some special reason?

Well, if you were a messenger from a weak country like me, you might have thought that you could handle it on your own.

In any case, I just did my best in the given situation.

I slowly got down on my knees.

And then – I uttered the sentence I had seen dozens of times in the game.

“Today, I have come to deliver a story from our monarch, Lunarien.”

After hearing what I said, Lin Brans laughed as if it was amusing, and then spoke in a low voice.

“Oh my♡ You have a smooth face, and you have come to visit a country at war as a messenger. Looks like you have a bit more of a manly side than you look like?”

He openly used words that seemed to look down on me, but he didn’t give a damn about every word of his tone.

I’d rather quit my job than get caught up in a place like this.

“Okay. Well, I’ll listen to the story.”

I slowly raised my head.

The fate of the Lunarien army rested on my shoulders.

From now on, it was my turn to play with my tongue.

Let’s not be scared.

Okay. Because I have a brain with 100% intelligence.

“I would like to make you a sweet offer that you can never refuse.”

“Ho? It’s a sweet offer. That interests me. What is that?”

As if I were a salesman selling an opportunity that would never come again –

He smiled shamelessly and spoke in the most confident manner possible.

“I will give you 1300 gold. Please sign an armistice agreement with our military.”
