Episode 92. The End of the Battle of the Territory The Beginning of the Real War (1)
Klein passed out while peeing in his pants. It was fortunate that he didn’t die.
Igor smashed Klein to the floor like garbage, and then flashed Sevra into the house.
Afterwards, Cheryl treated the people as if nothing had happened, and Yuma talked to Klein’s butler, Nolun, separately.
“Butler, consider yourself fortunate that you did not kill the lord. It can be considered luck that it ended like this.”
Nolun sat down, shivering and putting on a sad expression.
“Even if you leave alive, you will probably be stoned to death by the villagers. I knew something like this would happen someday… The lord these days has gone too far.”
“I know very well that Klein is a spoiled bastard. It was very natural to give orders to kill civilians.”
“I am an old man who has assisted counting from generation to generation. When the previous lord passed away not long ago, Lord Klein, who inherited power…
“Ah, it’s a typical story that you don’t have to hear anymore. If incompetent guys are greedy, they can’t live up to their name.”
“The counting is over now. Since the lord acted recklessly, it can be seen as self-inflicted, but this old man is simply terrible.”
Unlike the crazy lord, Nolun was a calm and wise man. When Klein tried to kill Yang Min, Nolun was the only one among his subordinates to stop him.
“Your master is finished, so you must help me, Nolun.”
“What do you mean help? There is no way Seden’s property…
“I’m not interested in such a trivial property, and I need to end the territory war. Get on the horse.”
Yuma pointed to the horses left behind by the soldiers who had fled.
“W You mean to end the Yeongji War?”
“I want Princess Sebra to live in peace. I don’t know the power of Luscan, so please guide me to the castles or mansions of the nobles who participated in the Territory War.”
Sebra wasn’t the only reason Yuma wanted to end the territory war.
After hearing Hwa’s secret, it was Yuma’s idea that useless wars should be reduced as much as possible.
And what are you fighting to achieve a great success in this small land mass?
Even if Yuma didn’t sort it out, if the news of Luscan’s territory war was known, Rugal would send the bodyguards.
In Yuma’s opinion, it was better for Dan to step forward than to forcefully end the Yeongji War by the royal guards. Because pro-greatness will have no mercy.
“What is that…
” Understand it as just a pacifist whim. Let’s go, because I want to finish it in a few days.”
A light tone of voice, as if going for a walk. Nolun was so bewildered that he was speechless.
“Where are you planning to go, Yuma?”
“I don’t know where, but I want to go too!”
Natalie and Ballinan approached Yuma.
“You guys are helping Cheryl.
I’ll put an end to Yeongjijeon. Let’s have a celebration party to commemorate the gathering of all our colleagues.”
“You mean to end the Yeongji War?”
“okay.”
Natalie met Yuma’s determined gaze for a moment, then nodded. This madman’s mindset often bore the simplicity of the truly strong.
Well, it was about the Duchy of Luscan, but in fact, Yuma’s military force was enough to conquer it in a short period of time.
Diplomatic issues were also discussed with Rugal, so it was not unreasonable for Yuma to think of ending the Youngji War alone.
“Then hurry up and finish. Be gentle.”
“okay.”
Nolun couldn’t understand the group acting like it was nothing.
Isn’t the giant who beat Klein half to death their leader? Besides, what the hell is this attitude?
“Let’s start right away. It would be nice if we could finish it in one day instead of days.”
“Huh…
Nolun had no choice but to sit on his horse, bewildered. The two of them started out through the forest without any preparation.
“Now, who is the most powerful guy? Let’s go get rid of him first.”
“A noble named Harlank had the most troops, but…
“How many?”
“I know about 3,000. I also have two sword masters.”
Not 30,000, but 3,000. The Principality of Ruskan is really small. With only 3,000 troops and two sword masters, it was a town where you could walk around with blood vessels around your neck.
Yuma was dumbfounded inwardly.
If it was that large, we would all think about living well together, but why are you forcibly conscripting civilians and fighting a territory battle?
“Am I really going alone?”
“exactly.”
“It sounds like an act of suicide.”
“Well, I think it would be suicidal if they kept coming after me even though I was trying to be moderate.”
Nolun said nothing more and decided to guide Yuma to Harlanc in silence.
The main soldier, Klein, became a bloody mess, and the count family was virtually ruined. In one morning, an irreparable rift had been opened in Nolun’s life.
Nolun no longer wanted to make rational decisions.
The two of them were able to reach Harlanck’s Fort at dawn after a full day’s drive. While on the way, Nolun explained to Yuma the current situation and market situation of the Duchy of Luskan.
The North and West were being held and ruled by the king, and a fierce territorial war was in full swing in the East and South, where Calcis’ house was located. Klein occupied 10% of the land in the east.
There was also a content that not only Klein, but all the lords participating in the territory war were plundering the people. Since there is a shortage of materials and manpower, they are conscripted at random.
Harlank was, of course, the most vicious of them all.
“Out of 3,000 soldiers, 2,000 are recently forcibly conscripted civilians. Lord Klein Young saw his growth and began to step up his drafting of civilians.”
They tied their horses, lay down in the bushes, and inspected the fort.
“Forcible conscription in Yeongjijeon is unimaginable in the West. Yeongjijeon was originally conducted only with troops within the family. By the way, it’s even smaller than Rong Doge’s castle.”
“Could it be that you were the one who destroyed the castle of the slave trader Lung Doge?”
“That’s right, Nolun.”
“As expected… He was a rumored prophet.
I thought it was unusual.”
“A prophet?”
“Recently, rumors are circulating that there is a prophet of great skill freeing slaves in the East. I was also trying to persuade the lord to go to Mus Icahn to see the Prophet.”
“Why did you want to take Klein to Mus Icahn? It will be full of slaves I freed.”
“Following your rumors, a number of powerful people have gathered in Mus Eye Khan.
I expected the lord to meet them and broaden his view of the world, but it’s all over.”
“Hmm, let’s deal with these guys first. You should keep your eyes closed here. I plan to go to the next turn as soon as I finish it.”
Yuma left the bush without listening to Nolun’s answer. Nolun rubbed the wrinkles on his brow and let out a dying sigh.
‘No matter how it is, how can I end the Yeongji War alone?
The author, like Yeong-ju, acted recklessly and acted recklessly… Ugh!’
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
It was the sound of Yuma smashing the gates of Harlank’s fort with her bare hands.
The soldiers guarding the gate passed out without even stretching out their spears.
Nolun only doubted his own eyes, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“Oh, it’s crude, but it’s treated with strong magic? Are the doors imported from the West?”
Yuma slammed the castle gate with his fist and spoke to himself. The castle gate dented every time the fist that glowed with an aura touched.
“Mi crazy! what! It’s an intruder!”
“Go in there and call Harlanc the sleeping soldier. Do not shoot the bow.”
“Aww! It is a monster!”
jeoyoung!
When the thick iron door was dented, there was a crack that Yuma could push through. As Yuma tried to get into it, he pulled out Ascalon as if thinking of something.
“It’s an adult that will be open to the public, so you won’t need a door like this for the time being. Hyeop!”
Ascalon emitted a flash of light, and the gate split like tofu.
Yuma scratched her ears and moved into the citadel. Ascalon was in a state of lead sword again.
It was Yuma who broke through the lord castle of Secron Wolf Asher and Hayes Rollman D head-on. Destroying the crude fortifications of such a small country did not even feel particularly exciting.
“Harlank! Come out!”
“What is that madman!”
The soldiers were at a loss as to what to do with the sudden attack. It was the same for officers and knights. The awakened troops hurriedly began to gather in the center of the citadel.
“Call Harlank. I’m going to take him with me.”
“What one! Shoot!”
Dozens of arrows flew, but it was impossible for them to reach Yuma’s body.
Yuma didn’t even pull out the Ascalon and shook his fist to neutralize the rain of arrows.
When hundreds of arrows were wasted like that, the archers lost the will to draw their bowstrings and just stared at Yuma with blank faces.
The same was true of spearmen and swordsmen. What could there be to gain but death by attacking a man who broke down the gates with his bare hands and scattered arrows?
“I will not harm those who surrender!
Everyone drop your weapons.”
Even if 3,000 troops attacked Yuma with full readiness, there was no chance of victory. The soldiers instinctively realized that fact.
Moreover, most of them were not properly trained regulars, but were forced to join. To them, Yuma was not an enemy, but rather a savior.
“Is that the grandmaster?”
“ah! Isn’t that the prophet?
Freeing the slaves…
“Shh! Be careful with your words. Could it be Harlank’s ally?”
“I broke down the gate, but my teammates!”
The soldiers whispered.
“What’s going on!”
Hearing the commotion, Harlank hurried out and appeared. The two sword masters were also there.
As soon as Yuma saw them, he showed off his skills by forming 20 aura spheres.
Harlank and the sword masters couldn’t help but feel intimidated as soon as they saw it.
“Ah, are you Harlank? When it comes to fine words, I have a busy road to come here.”
“What!”
Yuma didn’t answer and moved towards Hallank. Every time Yuma took a step, the soldiers backed away little by little.
“What are you doing against one person! Block! I mean stop it!”
Hallank screamed, but the soldiers showed no signs of extending their weapons.
Dig!
Suddenly, Yuma, who used a swift speed, quickly closed the distance with Harlanc. It jumped high and retook the soldiers at once, so there was not even a disturbance.
“The sword masters over there… know better than anyone that they can’t stop me, right? put away the sword I don’t want to kill you.”
The sword masters reflexively drew their swords.
After enduring Yuma’s overbearing energy for a while, they quietly lowered their swords to the floor. The hand that dropped the sword was shaking.
“Why are you doing this to me? Who is the great man!”
Harlanck quickly changed his tone and took a step back.
“Who is it? He is a scary person.”
Fuck!
Yuma’s fist pierced Harlanc’s abdomen. Hallanck was unable to scream once and went black.
“The Duchy of Luskan’s Territory War will end within a few days.”
Starting with Halanque, Yuma traveled around the eastern and southern parts of the Ruscan Principality for four days, abducting lords who had participated in the Territory War.
