Chapter 140
Naturally, everyone was greatly impressed.
‘As expected, the light of the Houston Kingdom Army. He spares no effort in caring for his patients.’
‘It is indeed the light. Not only is he warm and kind, but he is also brave.’
“I will join you too!”
“No, I will go with you! Our Lan tribe warriors do indulge in such bravery!”
When Raymond and Macapael III stepped forward, nurous applicants ca forward.
Since they can’t have too many people join them, they’ve selected the best.
In the Lan tribe, Muhad.
He was the second strongest warrior among the Lan tribe and was a knight of the Sword Expert level.
For reference, the strongest warrior was to remain and lead the Lan tribe’s forces.
Next is Elmud.
The self-proclaid greatest genius in the Houston Kingdom.
He, an expert, felt his heart flutter as he looked at Raymond.
‘I have the opportunity to protect my lord like this! Protecting my lord is the greatest joy as a rescue knight. I will sacrifice my life and soul to ensure that not a single hair on my lord’s head is hard!’
He seed delighted to be entrusted with such an important task.
anwhile, from the Kingdom of Droughton, the loyal Viscount Tice participated.
He was also a knight of the Sword Expert level.
In other words, it is the strongest suicide squad that includes three Sword Experts at the upper level!
Also added 5 expert beginners including Christine and Lao.
Even if you are only an expert beginner, you can see how great of a force they are because they are treated as a high-level core knight when they go to a small or dium-sized knight order.
Although they only have 8 mbers, their power is enough to overwhelm a single knight order!
‘Good! At this level, even if we encounter a small number of enemy soldiers, there will be no danger!’
A relieved Raymond spoke confidently.
“We will leave as soon as it gets dark.”
* * *
The outline of the operation was as follows.
The Lan tribe’s soldiers pretend to attack the South Gate, drawing attention.
Then, the few defenders of the castle will have no choice but to mostly hang on to the south gate, and naturally, the guards at the other gates will be neglected.
At that ti, the suicide squad that had infiltrated the palace opened the north gate closest to the palace, and the special force that had been waiting secretly near the north gate will enter the castle and capture it.
As it happened, there was a suitable hiding place for troops near the north gate.
‘And then I get to be the one who gets the most credit for taking the castle. Perfect!’
Raymond looked satisfied as he walked through the secret passage.
Although it was a dark secret passage, his face was bright.
‘Hehehe. If things go well like this and the war ends, I’ll beco super rich.’
He had a happy imagination.
Imagine receiving the best fiefdom at the end of the war!
If things continued this way, it was by no ans an empty dream. It was a reality that would soon be upon him.
He couldn’t quite imagine how great it would be to be rich and eat only beef every day.
As he smiled at that thought, Christine, who was also present at the suicide squad, said.
“Are you glad that this plan will reduce the casualties among soldiers?”
“…”
“I know you always think of your soldiers. I try to emulate that kind of kindness of yours, Master.”
“…”
Lao next to him chid in.
“That is correct, Your Highness. His heart is always filled with patriotism and noblesse oblige.”
In fact, Lao still gets confused sotis.
His genius’s intuition sounded the alarm that Raymond was not what he appeared to be.
But Lao was now unwavering.
‘My brother is a great man! Such doubts are caused by foolish jealousy! I should suppress my doubts so firmly.’
‘I can tell from the way he steps forward like this. In his heart, there is only one thing he wants to do for others.’
“I, Lao, will definitely follow in your footsteps.”
“…”
Finally, Elmud spoke.
“I don’t think I should emulate my lord… … no, my master. How dare I! I am content to simply be my lord’s…no, my master’s hands and feet!”
“…”
Raymond was silenced by the chorus of fools.
‘By the way, Elmud, why does that sweet potato fool keep calling lord? Does he want to die by the hands of his father?’
Even though he had clearly told him not to call him lord, it was Elmud who was making a lot of noise, used his slip of the tongue as an excuse.
Now everyone around knew that Elmud served Raymond as his lord.
‘…I don’t know what will happen to anymore.’
anwhile, the young King Macapell III looked at Raymond and those around him with envious eyes.
‘The gods are thick. Everyone truly respects Baron Penin. It’s only natural, considering what he’s done so far.’
Macapell III clenched his fist.
‘When I grow up, will I be able to be like Baron Penin?’
Macapell III recalled Baron Penin’s past.
An illegitimate child who was looked down upon.
But now, he is praised as the light of the Houston Kingdom Army.
The trust of those around him is so strong that it is almost amazing.
‘…I want to be soone like that too.’
The young king still harbored a wish in his heart.
When he grows up, he hopes he can be like Raymond.
In this way, Raymond unexpectedly beca the young king’s role model.
Macapell III asked impulsively.
“Baron Pennin, may I ask you one thing?”
“Of course, Your Highness.”
“When the war is over, would you be able to beco my ntor?”
“…!”
Raymond looked at Macapell III in surprise.
Macapell III also shook his head, embarrassed by his own words.
“Well, of course I’m not asking you to beco my official teacher. That would be difficult due to circumstances… Just stop by and teach sotis when you have ti…”
Macapell III’s face turned pale as he spoke up to that point.
And then he glanced at Raymond’s face
‘…What? Is he being serious?’
Raymond looked dumbfounded.
Macapell III’s eyes were sparkling brightly.
‘What should I say? It was like the eyes of a young boy looking at a hero he admired, and it made feel even more bewildered.’
Raymond cleared his throat.
“… How can I, who is lacking, teach you? It is unacceptable.”
“No, that’s not true! If you are lacking, who would dare to call yourself a master?”
Raymond tried to refuse, but his thoughts jumped up and down.
Raymond nodded, thinking about it.
He thought there wouldn’t be much to lose.
‘This wouldn’t be so bad. If I beco King Droughton’s honorary ntor, the publicity effect would be enormous.’
Raymond also considered the people of the Kingdom of Droughton as potential custors.
So, becoming the King’s honorary teacher would be a great help in promoting patients!
“Okay. If I have ti, I will visit you and teach you, even though I don’t think I am enough to be classified as one.”
“Thank you! Your luggage will be waiting for you, so please co.”
The young king laughed heartily.
It was a smile that seed more like that of a child his age than a king.
That’s how their conversation ended at the end of the secret passage.
They finally arrived inside the Droughton castle.
* * *
The secret passage was surprisingly connected to the palace.
“…”
Macapell III looked at the throne and his eyes turned red.
He was ignominiously banished by the Archduke Berard, and now he has returned.
Macapael III was moved to tears and thanked Raymond.
“Thank you, Baron Penin. It is thanks to you that I am able to return to the throne.”
Raymond shook his head.
“No. The work isn’t over yet, so we need to move quickly.”
In fact, Raymond was starting to feel a little uneasy.
When they actually entered the castle, he was afraid that they might encounter enemies.
‘Let’s go to the north gate. Once we open the gate, this mission will be over.’
Macapell III also nodded.
He returned to the palace, but did not regain the throne.
Only when they defeat that bastard Berard can they truly reclaim the throne.
“Okay, I’ll move right away.”
But then it happened!
An eerie voice rang out.
“Oh, oh, oh. I had no choice but to stay in the palace for personal reasons, but I never thought I would et such a precious person.”
A figure appeared in the darkness.
A man who appears to be in his mid-forties.
A sharp blade-like energy flowed out from his entire body.
There was a long scar across his eye.
“It’s been a long ti, Your Majestic Puppet King of Droughton.”
The young king trembled all over at the mocking voice.
“Carlis! Why are you here?”
It was a voice full of fear.
Raymond was also surprised.
‘’Calis? The second-ranking knight in the Droughton Kingdom?’
There were two famous knights in the kingdom of Droughton.
The first is Count Alfonso, the Sword Master.
During this war, he stood at the forefront of the battlefield and fought several battles with the Life Corps.
And the second was the Calis right in front of their eyes.
One who has reached the level of Sword Master.
‘Why on earth is he here? Wasn’t he always following Archduke Berard around?’
Calis had a different role from Count Alfonso. If Count Alfonso was a beast of burden on the battlefield, he was Berard’s dog.
A an dog that only sticks around Berard.
“… … .”
Macapell III trembled in fear at eting Calis.
Calis was a nobleman who rose to fa from the ranks of the common people.
He had a complex about his bloodline, and felt superior by making fun of noble people.
As he was the most favored and closest confidant of the Archduke Berard, the nobles only looked on when he was insulted.
Additionally, Archduke Berard had Calis insult the young king.
As a result, Macapell III suffered several unforgettable and terrible humiliations from Calis.
The mories of that ti beca a trauma that weighed on the young king’s mind.
‘Damn, I never thought I’d et such a formidable opponent. I wasn’t planning on this.’
Raymond bit his lip.
At that mont, Elmud blocked Raymond’s path.
“Don’t worry, my lord. I will protect you.”
He spoke in a determined voice.
“The sword that protects my lord is unbreakable. So, as long as my lord is here, I will not give up! I will definitely win!”
Others also took out their swords.
Muhad, warrior of the Lan tribe, and Viscount Tice, loyal subject of Droughton.
And other sword experts.
The splendid Mana Blade illuminated the royal court.
Raymond found confidence in that sight.
‘Yes, no matter how strong the opponent is, if we only have one person, the odds of winning are on our side!’
Enemy, Calis’s level was strictly speaking the highest level of expert.
He is close to becoming a Sword Master, but he is not a Sword Master yet.
There was a world of difference between the two.
So, their power was enough to subdue them.
Just then, a ssages ca to mind.
[In a crisis situation, the ‘Battlefield Guardian’ attribute effect is activated!]
[The skill, ‘Heart of Steel’ is strengthened with the effect of the ‘Guardian Doctor of the Battlefield’ attribute!]
A strong will enveloped Raymond’s heart.
It feels like a ssage, more empowered than usual.
Thanks to this, Raymond was able to look at Calis without shaking.
That wasn’t all.
[Confirming that the opponent is the ‘true opponent!]
[The opponent’s threat is confird to be ‘Very High’!]
[Skill, ‘’True counterasures’’ is activated!]
Was it because he had brought all sorts of humiliation upon the young king? Kalis was classified as a ‘true opponent’.
A way to attack Calis more easily ca to Raymond’s mind.
“Do you like poop?”
