9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword Chapter 16

Episode 16

Episode 11. Violation of the strict military law ‘It’s not a huge amount.

Roughly, I can roll the Puang Merchants for two years without difficulty.’

The fact that it was not an enormous amount was from Yuma’s point of view when he was a eunuch who used the imperial family’s money.

The calculation of being able to roll the Puang Merchants for two years included the cost of bribes for purchase.

“Why are you standing there so stupidly?”

“My God!”

Looking inside the warehouse, Marlon was as stiff as a stone statue. A commoner like Marlon was a gold coin on a scale that was difficult to see in his lifetime.

After Yuma brought Kog, the group began to sack the gold coins.

All the while putting the gold coins in, Marlon couldn’t close his gaping mouth. Marlon’s hand shaking the gold coin.

It was like a person whose soul had gone out.

Yuma watched Cog closely as he moved the sack while sweating profusely.

As expected, Cog never snatched a single gold coin from the floor. He just followed Yuma’s instructions with a naive face.

Yuma decided to give Corg a hefty bonus when he returned.

“So far!”

When the party gathered about 90 percent of the treasure, Yuma said.

“The rest of the treasure is scattered nearby.”

“No, you idiot! why!”

Marlon shouted in excitement.

“What kind of money is this? Money made selling drugs on Schrell Street.”

“Why? Now, if we eat, it’s our money.”

“That’s right, it’s our money. But if we just gulp all the money, we get tired. All I can think about is trying to find the culprit in the Shurell family.”

Yuma continued talking, conscious of Cindy.

“But if you just scatter about 10% of it around, the Shurel family will have to bury the case somehow. If the garrison starts investigating the gold coins scattered out of nowhere, the drug business may be exposed.”

Losing slush funds would have been a big blow, but being questioned about drug trafficking by the imperial castle and the garrison was much more difficult.

The Shurel family was a family that did not have as much power as the three families. If the drug business became public, there was no choice but to suffer much greater damage than if the warehouse was robbed by gangsters.

‘I’m sure you already know everything in the Hwangseong. It seems that the work of the Imperial Family Envoy is more than what I felt when I was a eunuch.’

As Yuma said, the party scattered the remaining gold coins on the road near the old castle.

The contrast between Malone, who looked crumpled as if he had chewed shit, and Cog, who was laughing because it was fun tossing gold coins.

“Malone, you’ll never be ridiculous with these pennies.”

“this. pennies. no.”

“Sure, it’s money to support the Black Wolf.”

When the group returned, Pouang immediately moved the gold coins to the warehouse inside the mansion.

I was worried about the amount of money spent on Yuma, but it was enough to run the guild for the time being.

“Since I started working with Yuma-sama, I finally got a tangible income. Although it was a very radical and illegal method.”

“Do not worry. We are going to commit many crimes in the future.”

“Haha that’s right. Why didn’t I know?”

“Wouldn’t it be fun to get to know you step by step, Mr. Puang?”

Pouang trembled and calmed his anger.

‘Anyway, even this, I’ll give it all to the Black Wolf.’

Poin thought so as he drank the cold water brought by the servant.

Since Hugo himself said, ‘I will expect a lot of support’, I wondered if I would be able to keep all the treasures I had brought with me.

“money. give it we. Goes.”

The money Yuma gave to the Black Wolf for their hard work was only a sack of gold coins.

“hey! You sprinkled a lot on the street, but can you only give me one bag?”

“like this. many. give me?”

Marlon stunned at Yugir’s answer and swallowed the next words.

“Please tell Hugo one more time that you will definitely find a bride.”

“i get it. you. the boss Likes.”

When Marlon and Yugire took the gold coins and left, Puang, dumbfounded, dropped the pipe he was holding.

“Are you really going to take that with you?”

“Did I tell you last time? The Black Wolf is surprisingly insensitive to matter.”

“Are you almost at the level of an idiot?”

“If they were bright and smart in their interests, the world’s most powerful country might not have been an empire.”

When you start harvesting magic stones, the Puang Merchant Merchant instantly becomes the largest merchant guild in the empire.

In other words, it was a story that a huge dung fly would start attracting.

‘I’ll need a flytrap to catch the dung flies. A proper aristocratic assistant who can keep Cindy in check.

After all, there is no person like Duran Zach.’

Duran Jacques, who was the same age as Cahel Povian, still held the title of First Sword of the Empire.

A person who contributed the most in numerous wars of conquest. He was the person most compared to Hugo in the world’s strongest position.

It was clear that the imperial family would collect all kinds of reports from Cindy and put pressure on the Puang Merchant when the time came.

However, if Duran Jacques became an ally, even the imperial family could not do anything to the Puang Merchants without any justification.

‘Imperial special entrustment Cindy’s spy cannot be justified.’

Thinking that far, Yuma decided on his next destination.

“Poong. It looks like I will be away for a while.”

It was a touching story.

“How much?”

Puang asked with his eyes shining.

“Aren’t you showing off too much that you like it? It’ll take a while. It will probably return around the time the first magic stone is harvested. Maybe it will take longer.”

“Hmmmm. What are you going to do…

“I need to meet Prince Duran Jacques.”

Yuma was thinking of attracting the Zach family.

If he paid part of his magic crystal income to the Zach family and maintained a relationship, no one could exceed the income of the Puang Merchants.

“Why is the scale getting bigger and bigger? Prince Duran Jacques. He is the greatest hero of the Empire. How can people like us…

“Lord Cahel Foubian and Sir Hugo joined us. There’s nothing that can’t be done with Duke Duran Jacques.”

“Besides, Duke Duran Jacques is probably on the battlefield. I understand that you are participating in the war to conquer the kingdom of Ahmad.”

“yes. I plan to go to that battlefield by applying. Please get me a letter of recommendation.”

Yuma recalled the moment before the return when the Zach family adopted Marlon.

Malone had participated in a territorial dispute with Haseo as a servant of Mero, but was caught by the Zach family and brought back.

As soon as Duran Jacques saw Marlon in person, he immediately gave the Jacques family name.

Duran was looking for talent to carry on the reputation of the Zach family. There were many geniuses in the Zach family, but they weren’t enough to match Duran’s castle.

Participated in a battle where Duran was the commander, made a contribution and caught his eye. With her tremendous talent, she instantly captures his heart and attracts her as an ally.

Yuma’s plan was simple, but it was something no one but Yuma or Malone could do.

Thinking that he could send Yuma far away, Pouang immediately sought a letter of recommendation.

Yuma immediately got ready and left for Amad Kingdom.

As rumored, the kingdom of Ahmad was occupied right up to the capital. Yuma joined as a late volunteer following the supply corps heading to Duran Zak’s advance party.

‘This is the first time I’ve been directly involved in a war. There won’t be any problems.’

The scenery he saw on the way to the capital of the Ahmad kingdom was not as dire as he had expected. It felt like passing through a clean, deserted village.

There was no one to stop Duran Zak from raging the battlefield in a weak country with less than 1/20 of the empire’s territory.

Rather, thanks to the overwhelming difference in strength, casualties were reduced.

Someone left this expression about Duran Jacques and Hugo.

– It is impossible to die unless it is natural death and suicide.

Upon arriving at the vanguard tent, the supply soldiers gave Yuma a spear and armor.

Yuma took a break after eating the soup distributed among the soldiers.

Some soldiers threw mean jokes at Yuma, who looked very young.

“You want me to sleep with that handsome bastard today? It will be better than the Ahmad ladies we ate the other day.”

Wow!

Yuma smiled and punched him in the chin.

The soldier who made the dirty noise didn’t wake up for ten minutes after that.

The soldiers gathered nearby rushed to trample Yuma, unaware of the situation.

Yuma dealt with them with bare-handed combat. The fist carrying the aura was as hard as stone.

one person per room.

The fight was over in an instant.

As the last soldier fell, the soldier’s tent collapsed and a commotion spread to the surrounding area.

Before long, the centurion and sentries came running and surrounded Yuma. Yuma did not resist and was obediently captured by the guards.

“Call the supply corps that brought this bastard! Bring a letter of recommendation, yes!”

The letter of recommendation from Yuma brought by the supply corpsman had the seal of Haiwan Woods on it.

It was a letter of recommendation that Puang had received from Haiwan Woods in exchange for pocket money.

Seeing Haiwan Woods’ signature, the centurion was embarrassed and used honorifics to Yuma.

“Did the soldiers who were hit do something wrong first?”

Yuma quietly nodded.

“Um uh… but martial law is military law. First of all, you seem to be a commoner like us, but if you have an accident like this in wartime… it’s difficult.”

Originally, it was natural to flog right away, but it was the order of the knights.

The centurion grunted and pondered for a while before writing a report.

The average knight who received the report from the centurion also had no choice but to rack his brains while looking at the unusual items in the report.

[Special note: Recommended by Sir Haiwan Woods. Knocking down twenty soldiers and destroying the tent]

In the end, the rank knight also wrote a new report.

The second-in-command, Randel Zach, who received the report from the rank knight, was Duran Zach’s nephew.

As soon as Randell received the report, he let out a long sigh. If I went to visit my uncle with a report like this, I felt like I would get hit.

However, Heiwan Woods and Duran Jacques were in a friendly relationship with each other in private.

Duran Zak was standing at the very front of the tent, looking at the walls of the capital city of Ahmad Kingdom.

It took less than a month to get this far.

After giving the soldiers a rest for a few days, if they fell at once, this war of conquest could also be successfully ended.

Now you’ll get a medal that doesn’t even make much sense.

“uncle.”

Randell approached Duran Zach stiffly.

“On the battlefield, use your title correctly.”

“Commander, I have a problem to report.”

“What?”

“One of the soldiers started a riot.”

Duran Jacques glared at Randel with a puzzled expression.

“Why would that even be reported to me?”

“The soldier’s recommendation is Sir Haiwan Woods.”

Duran Zac hit Randel on the head with a loud bang.

Randel silently touched the back of his head as if he knew this would happen. He was the only person in the Zach family who took care of Malone before Yuma returned.

“That old man recommended a soldier? Not a knight?”

“yes. Well, it says so.”

“Did the madman fall into gambling and become senile? Besides, what is this?

sixteen years old? Beat twenty trained soldiers with your bare hands and smash their tents?”

Duran Jacques said, shaking the report roughly.

“Were you able to do this with your bare hands when you were sixteen?”

“I think I could have done something at the level of ordinary soldiers.”

“No, no. you couldn’t.”

“I could do it too. What about four soldiers and twenty?”

“Did you not see the report? You finished it neatly without a single scar on this fierce bird. You could do this only if you gave me a wooden sword at sixteen.

When you were that age, you were a bitch chasing girls behind the scenes. Oh Helen Ebebe Rosiana Ebebebe like this.”

Embarrassed, Randel lowered his eyes and cursed in his heart.

Duran Jacques wielded both hands ridiculously, rolled his eyes, and made fun of Randell.

“Because I could have done this at 12 instead of 16? Even when you were ten years old.”

“Sure, Uncle.”

“On the battlefield, use your title correctly.”

‘If you’re going to do this, I’ll treat you like a second-in-command rather than a nephew.’

Randell couldn’t understand why Duran Zach kept bringing him back as his second-in-command whenever he went to war.

“Bring it to me. Prepare for a military trial.”
