Episode 713
Special Force (4)
Let’s see, one, two, three, four, five, six···
‘Seventeen·’
A special unit of Noark consisting of 17 people in total.
Among them, I only know the nas and faces of three people, but thanks to those three, I can gauge the level of the remaining 14 people.
No, there was no need for three people to go in the first place.
Vice-captain of Orcules
Maan, Roland Vanosant
Just by looking at this guy as the commander, you can easily guess what level the other mbers are at.
Noark’s elite, each capable of fighting a hundred tis
It goes without saying that you have no chance of winning if you just slam into the situation.
What if we brought all our clan mbers with us?
Among the current mbers, the only reliable colleague is Raven.
Even five out of 20 people are special personnel who specialize in ‘exploration’, but have sowhat lower combat power.
but····
Tuktuk·
The reason I didn’t even think about running away right away is very simple.
That’s true too, right?
It’s been quite so ti since we entered this postscript.
‘I think it’s about ti to co…’
When I was thinking that while watching the body collector being handcuffed,
“Bjorn Jandel…! You damn son of a bitch…!”
Soon the guy glares at with eyes full of hatred.
Hey, are you trying to prove your innocence by insulting ?
Because there was a possibility of that happening, I didn’t react much to the sudden barrage of insults.
“One day, I’ll gouge out your eyes and chew them up, grind up all your internal organs and throw them to goblin food! And then I’ll spray them with preservatives so they don’t rot—·”
“I understand, you have more work to do.”
“···huh?”
“Have you heard? Banozant, as you just saw, the body collector did not collude with , Bjorn Yandel, he is truly innocent, so let him go.”
Of course, the vice-captain did not listen to and let the guy go.
I’m sure he wasn’t completely fooled by my tricks, but the commander is responsible for his actions.
It seed like they wanted to block out variables just in case.
And as a result·
“This, this, this, this···!!”
Now, the corpse collector is trembling as if he has so kind of speech impedint and cannot finish his sentences properly.
That was the mont.
Tada da dat-!
A distinctive sound of ard soldiers running busily is heard from outside the door.
“This is… a bit tricky, Vice-Chief.”
The deputy chief stares at as the bespectacled man, who appears to be an intelligent person, mutters.
“···Was it just a waste of ti?”
However, there was no particular emotion in the eyes of Banozant who spoke like that.
I’m not angry, annoyed, or embarrassed.
Just looking at ·
So at first I couldn’t figure out what that single ray of light in those dry eyes was, but soon I was able to realize it.
‘curiosity·’
It seems like I’m just gathering data before I figure out who I am.
Actually, judging from the reactions afterwards, it seed like so data had been collected about .
“What a difficult opponent.”
“······”
“Release Abed Necrapetto.”
“···yes?”
“The variable has disappeared”
Although it was a statent without any explanation, the glasses-wearing man carried out the order without any question.
As if he had absolute trust in the vice-captain’s eyes.
“That, that’s why I said no!”
The body collector, who was soon released from the hands of his colleagues and confessed his grievances,
But, now that you’re free, do you feel better?
“Ha… Really! I can’t understand how I can be fooled by the tongue of such a savage!”
The concept speech that had disappeared in embarrassnt has returned to its original state.
When I saw that arrogant figure, I wanted to run over and give him a piece of honey, but···
Boom-!
At that mont, the closed door opened roughly and a white-haired old knight entered, leading his n.
“That’s it, Baron Yandell! The Commander-in-Chief has ordered you to be removed from your position and punished for your abuse of authority—·”
The old man who ca into the room shouted sothing like a policeman with a warrant.
The old man quickly checks the situation in the room and freezes.
“···huh?”
As I looked at that slightly crazy expression, I had this thought.
“Why on earth are they here···?”
I must have had that kind of face earlier, right?
***
Noark’s special forces, which had not been found despite searching everywhere, were discovered in the Marquis’ house.
I was convinced that it was an ‘excess of authority’, and I was in a standoff with Bjorn Yandell.
‘Since this has been achieved, there will be no punishnt whatsoever.’
It’s like catching a rat while backtracking, but the world only looks at the results.
Now there is no need to worry about the aftermath at all.
So the only problem left is to wipe out these guys here along with those articles····
“Long ti no see, Morgan Caritumour.”
“You… Ma-an?”
It seed like the vice-captain and the article were old friends, but the na the vice-captain uttered stirred up the surroundings.
“If it’s Caritumour······”
“2nd Royal Knight Commander···?”
“So that guy is the famous ‘Knight of the King’···?”
I thought he wouldn’t be a small-ti person since he was the one the Marquis sent to capture , but he was a much bigger guy than I expected.
‘Morgan Caritumour·’
He is the forr bodyguard and right-hand man of King Gaebyeok, better known by his nickna, ‘Knight of the King’.
It is said that King Gaebyeok retired due to health problems and political issues, and then took office as the commander of the 2nd Royal Knights, which had beco vacant recently.
“···Pishit, this is soone who is really hard to see”
It was only natural that everyone was so surprised by his appearance.
The vice-captain of Orcules is a big shot, but that old thief is definitely not worth his na.
Before he retired, ninety out of a hundred city people would have considered him the ‘strongest’.
“Maan, Banozant. Your presence here… ans that Baron Yandel has truly succeeded in his mission.”
uh····
“···That’s how it turned out·”
“I heard that you went to see the Marquis without any particular reason, but it turns out that wasn’t the case. I just thought it was strange that soone of your stature would do sothing like that.”
“······”
“How on earth did you do that? Even the Royal Intelligence Service couldn’t figure it out.”
“The secret is… rational reasoning and doubt.”
“Haha, does that an you can’t reveal the source of the information?”
uh····
“······”
I felt a strange sense of pressure from the gaze that seed to be looking at a very capable junior, so I just kept my mouth shut.
As always, this is half the battle.
“Anyway, the situation is urgent, so let’s talk later. It won’t be too late to talk after all those reckless traitors are arrested.”
“I will help too”
At the end of such conversation, the king’s knight
No, it’s inconvenient to pronounce, so I’ll shorten it…
‘Thank goodness I’m not a knight’
Soon, the King Knight Grandfather drew his sword, and I also got into a fighting stance.
We had overwhelming numbers of troops, and even the terrain was to our advantage.
That’s because the Marquis’ office has no windows.
‘It must have been left unattended to prevent outside intrusion.’
Even the Marquis’ mansion is famous for its ‘durability’.
Are you saying that it was built in exactly the sa way as the king’s residence?
The outer wall itself is not made of ordinary materials, and is covered with all sorts of magic, so much so that it is said that it will last for a minute even if the world is destroyed.
“Put down your weapons and ask for rcy.”
The only exit, the entrance, is blocked by the King’s Knight.
“That’s the only choice you have today.”
Vice-Captain Banozant did not show any expression as he watched the knight grandfather wielding his sword with dignity.
He just quietly said this:
“Okay, I surrender.”
···huh?
“···What did you just say?”
Grandpa Wanggisa asked again, embarrassed, wondering if he was the only one who heard it wrong.
At those words, the vice-captain spoke again expressionlessly:
“I said I would surrender, but…”
···It was a completely unexpected developnt.·
***
A special force from Orcules must have infiltrated here for so purpose.
But these guys surrender so helplessly?
Aren’t you going to fight until the very end, even if you die soon?
It was a suspicious and unpleasant situation for anyone to see.
And because he knew that, Grandfather King Knight himself personally commanded and ticulously arrested them.
but····
“······”
“······”
Indeed, until the very end, they did not resist at all and obediently submitted to arrest, and that was the end of the situation.
“···You have done a great job. Congratulations, Baron.”
“Please tell the Marquis that we worked hard too···”
The Marquis’s assigned agents were both curious about the current situation and pleased.
Also, I worked hard to turn the hope circuit to erase the anxiety hidden behind the happy feelings.
“At first, I wondered why they were doing that, but when I thought about it, it was a natural response.”
“Well, the king’s knights ca in person, so what could they do?”
“I guess they decided there was no other way but to surrender.”
Well, it was definitely a disadvantageous situation for them.
But I don’t think that will happen at all.
Even this ti it is not based on intuition, it is based on evidence.
‘It’s nonsense to say that no one… resisted.’
After the vice-captain declared his surrender, no one raised an objection to ‘surrender’.
The Corpse Collector, and the Screaming Witch
Other mbers, including the bespectacled man who seed like a loyal right-hand man,
‘Vice-captain! Surrender! What do you an! Let’s fight to the end!’
‘If I get caught like this, what else will I be able to do but be tortured to death?’
‘I’d rather fight and die!’
It was so strange that there were no such reactions at all, even though one or two people would have shown such reactions.
Unless you had planned and discussed this situation in advance.
‘···It’s clear that there’s sothing going on·’
The problem is that I have no idea what the plan is, and there is nothing I can do about it right now.
“···Karitumuer, what are we going to do with them?”
“It has nothing to do with your mission, but since you have done a great job in capturing them, I will answer. From now on, they will be transferred to the royal palace. They will be imprisoned and made to vomit out everything they know by the intelligence agents.”
Yeah, that’s how it turns out····
“···Can’t we just kill them all here?”
Afterwards, he talked about the dangers of these guys and even raised the possibility that they might have been caught on purpose, but the king knight grandfather pretended not to hear anything.
No, to be exact, I listened to it properly and then refused.
“I know you have a point, but we are at war right now, and we need the information they have to win the war.”
“So you an there is no justification?”
“That’s right. If we surrender first and kill those who were captured, who will take responsibility?”
“······”
“I hope you understand that I cannot take on such responsibility based on re intuition.”
Grandfather King Knight firmly refused my request.
However, he was anxious and checked the condition of their captivity several tis, even doing dirty work himself.
And how much ti has passed?
“From now on, we will transport them to the royal palace. Since they are the most important people, anyone who shows a lax attitude until their mission is completed upon arrival will be severely punished.”
After that, the King Knight grandfather personally led them out to the garden and loaded the Noark guys one by one onto the special carriage for transporting prisoners that had arrived after receiving prior notice.
But… what is this?
“Bjorn, son of Yandel”
The deputy commander, who was being dragged to a special carriage while being held by the knights, spoke to .
“See you next ti”
As a bonus, a aningful smile appeared on his lips as he said those words.
To anyone who saw it, it wasn’t the face of a man being dragged away to die, and that gave confidence.
I think I’ll regret it if I just let it go like this.
“···Split?”
As I blurted out my words in a tone of disbelief, the vice-captain opened his characteristically unpleasant eyes and stared at .
“If that were the case? Would you even try to harm ? Soone like you who has so much to lose?”
“······”
“You are a very rational person, despite your appearance. And dealing with such people is not that difficult—.”
I cut him off and answered briefly:
“uh·”
“···?”
However, the guy didn’t seem to understand what I ant when I said ‘yes’.
Was there sothing you were thinking about?
“Does that an you’re going to touch ?”
The vice-president looked at with ‘curious’ eyes and asked, and I answered.
Before I knew it, I was using my hand and mouth to pull out the hamr at the sa ti.
“uh·”
Kwajik-!!!
This will obviously cause so inconvenience, but
Kwajik-!!!
Well, it’s better than leaving regrets behind.
If I miss this mont, I don’t think I’ll get another chance to kill you.
Yeah, so···
Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik!
Was it called ‘Ma-an’?
Kwajik, kwajik, kwajik—!!
If you make a mistake, you’ve made a big mistake.
