To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor Chapter 640

Episode 640 The Egotist (5)

“They say the relief army is coming, so it’s a step too late.”

“Winter Toland meets a noble knight of the Holy Kingdom.”

“Even if you stand up, nothing comes out. More than that…”

said Zeke, glancing around.

“I heard that the relief army had arrived, so I was just about to meet you… Why are you alone?”

“That’s…”

Vinter carefully explained the whole thing.

Zeke, who had been quietly listening to the story, shook his head and accepted the words.

“You came at a bad time. Ever since the Leven mercenaries came in, they don’t like outsiders.”

“I guess so. From what I heard from Danju, I heard that the damage was considerable.”

“More than half of it was lost. It’s only natural that these guys with little experience went out with nothing but a sword.”

it’s half

That means at least 5,000 out of 10,000 have died.

It was natural to be wary of humans.

“I will tell the goblins to let the relief troops rest. Fatigue must have accumulated from the long journey.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“It’s funny to talk about it outside. come inside.”

Zeke guided them with crutches due to his uncomfortable behavior.

looking at his back.

Vinter thought quietly.

‘If the youngest sword master of the Holy Kingdom is at a loss… The level of Leven’s mercenary corps will surely be equal to that of a small country.’

I couldn’t even imagine what kind of battle it would have been.

That’s why it’s understandable that goblins are dying.

Vinter followed Zeke with his mouth shut.

* * *

The walls of the ‘Goblin Kingdom’ had a total of two layers.

The outer wall guarded the place where the castle gate was located, and the inner wall divided Simcheo and the outer wall.

Among them, Simcheo, where the queen and her henchmen were located, showed off quite a considerable figure.

Vinter burst out in admiration.

“I wasn’t expecting it because it was built by goblins, but it’s a great view.”

Zeke agreed with him.

“Certainly the goblins made it, but it was impossible without the help of the people who originally lived there. It is thanks to the help of a worker who has experience in building castles and walls.”

In other words, it is the result of combining knowledge and labor.

With the experience of the designer and the enormous manpower of the goblins, the wall was built in just a few months.

Considering that walls are usually built over several years, this is truly an astonishing achievement.

It would have been hard to believe if even Zeke himself hadn’t seen it.

“In addition, the goblins even speak their language. At first, I suspected it might be someone in the form of a goblin. ha ha ha.”

“Could it be? However, they are a bit different from the goblins we know. With each passing generation, they are transforming into a level closer to that of a different race.”

As he spoke, Zeke winked.

There were many first-generation goblins in Simcheo, but there were also quite a few goblins that had reached the third generation.

Because of that, there were some who looked like normal goblins, and there were also large goblins who walked straight with their backs upright like humans.

indeed.

Vinter’s eyes lit up.

“I’ll have to tell the lord.”

There is no way Danju, who can smell money amazingly well, miss an opportunity like this.

Perhaps they want to buy the goblins’ excellent fertility and labor.

did you notice him

Zeke added.

“Each one of them handles mana. It won’t be cheap.”

At that, Vinter was startled.

“Are you saying they deal with mana?”

“That’s right. I have a better feeling than most Aura users. If you train properly, you will become Wang Geon.”

Wang Geon.

At those charming words, even Vinter’s mouth watered.

Think about it.

As long as they can sign an exclusive contract with the top and hire high-quality personnel to their heart’s content, there will be nothing to fear in the world.

If a bandit’s den blocks your way, destroy it, and if you are forced to pay a toll at the border, suppress it with force.

Of course, it would be Hafman’s responsibility to take care of the back.

The thought of not having to worry about looting by bandits and border guards any longer makes me feel like I’m going to fall into ecstasy already.

Vinter said with a serious face.

“If you need anything, I will do my best to help.”

“How am I going to get supplies from that poor pig?”

“I will try to convince you somehow. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll lie down in the office.”

It was the years when I could not sleep properly from beginning to end due to excessive work.

If you don’t listen to this much, I will put in a request to repair your resignation right away.

At his resolute attitude, Zeke let out a smirk.

‘Even a half-man wouldn’t be easy.’

Even the money-loving ghosts will not be able to withstand the subordinates rushing so passionately.

The place I arrived at after a short walk from Simcheo was Zeke’s office.

Zeke, who served tea in the office, which was considerably more modest than expected, slowly got to the point.

“How many members of the relief army are there?”

“There are a little over two thousand. Not many, but not few.”

two thousand people.

It’s a perfect number to get the job done.

Vinter asked in a slightly worried voice.

“I don’t know if we can help. They came in the name of a relief army, but the war is already over…”

“No. You came just fine You were just what I needed.”

“yes?”

When Vinter asked back, as if he didn’t know why, Zeke put down the teacup and opened his mouth.

“This principality intends to distance itself from Celia.”

“Cilia and… are you talking about the Cold War?”

The weight of the horse is too much to spit it out carelessly.

Vinter’s expression was extremely cautious.

Of course, it is common sense for a new principality to pretend to be with Celia, which can be called their mother country.

However, since he is thinking of turning his back on them, let alone complete independence from Celia, it is inevitable that he will look dangerous in the eyes of Vinter.

Zeke nodded and said.

“On the day the Leven mercenary corps gathered troops and planned to advance into the principality, Celia did not stop them from sending troops. No, I had no intention of stopping it.”

“That’s true…”

“It’s unreasonable to see this as a choice made as a mother country. Of course, they have no obligation to protect the duchy, but at the same time, the duchy also has no obligation to support Celia.”

Vinter immediately refuted the dangerous words.

“Ha, but without Celia’s support, the principality will be in danger again. Perhaps a nearby small kingdom or now dormant ‘Coalition’ will make a move.”

“My lord is rather waiting for such a situation.”

“…the saint?”

“Besides, you don’t have to worry about the eyes of other countries.”

“yes?”

“You’re already working on it.”

I heard that several kingdoms, including the Lessian Empire, sent greetings.

It’s probably because of the ‘magical tool’ of example.

I don’t know what kind of magic tool he made, but he did everything as long as the Grecian Empire coveted it.

Even if you don’t care about the gaze of other countries, it will be organized on its own.

As Zeke spoke with infinite confidence, Vinter barely noticed.

‘There’s something I don’t know about.’

I don’t know well, but there is a ship that believes, so it must be pampering.

“It’s not going to endanger the top, right?”

“It is dangerous. If so, would that moneyworm send you out as crazy?”

I’ve heard and seen it again.

Completely suspicious, Vinter finally accepted his word.

“All right. What exactly can I do?”

“It is simple. All you have to do is send troops and alternate between the borders of Celia and the principality.”

Vinter, who thought he would have to prepare for an all-out war with the Kingdom of Celia, tilted his head at those words.

“…is that the end?”

“Then did you think you could even invade Celia? Just showing up is enough for now. If you’re lucky, Celia will lower its tail first.”

“The opponent is that Celia. Will it really go away just like that?”

“You won’t know until you try.”

I tried persuading him a few more times, but Zeke was reckless.

Vinter thought deeply as he stroked his beard.

‘Will it really work with a little reflection of troops on the border?’

You wouldn’t know if it was a small kingdom, but if it was a kingdom with enough power, you wouldn’t even blink.

In the first place, the level of threat must have been experienced countless times.

With Hana Zeke coming out this strong, it was clear that there must have been another move.

something you don’t know

I don’t know what it is, but it must be the reason why the kingdom of Celia is stuck.

Vinter, who was lost in thought for a moment, nodded and agreed.

“All right. Then, we will have troops circulate at the border every two days.”

“Armed as much as possible. Like going to war right now. You know what I mean?”

“All right.”

In the principality that was once part of Silia.

An operation to pressure them was being planned.

By the next day, Vinter had assembled his forces as he had talked to Zeke.

The soldiers expressed their dissatisfaction at the news that they could not rest and had to go to the army, but they were puzzled when they heard that they could only spend a few hours at the border and come back.

“Is it really just a matter of patrolling?”

“okay. But you must be armed and patrolling.”

When forced to do so without knowing why, the thousand chiefs and hundred chiefs nodded their heads while scratching the back of their heads.

“All right. There is nothing difficult about a few hours.”

“I will follow your orders.”

In the end, at the command of Vinter, Cheoninjang and Baekinjang prepared for reconnaissance.

The appearance of 2,000 people heavily armed and heading towards the border made it seem like they were preparing for war.

With well-maintained weapons at the forefront, Cheoninjang is in the lead, and even the morale of the soldiers is high.

The horses, which were fed high-quality grass and allowed to rest for a day, completely recovered their stamina, and the sharp eyes of the knights were fierce enough to make even the mountains and rivers and trees tremble.

“Then I will walk a little.”

At Cheoninjang’s light greeting, the empty space also laughed.

“Don’t overdo it. All you have to do is patrol along the border.”

“yes.”

“Oh, I forgot to ask you. While you are patrolling, you must never make eye contact with Celia’s soldiers, let alone talk.”

“…may I ask the reason?”

“I don’t know either. It’s just that I was ordered to do so.”

“All right. Keep that in mind.”

“Then let’s go.”

A final greeting from Vinter.

The thousand chiefs and troops left the goblin kingdom.

It was a light-hearted step for them, but soon after, Celia fell into great confusion.
