My Villains Episode 411
63. Knights of the Silver Prince (18)
Mysterious eyes filled with the legend of Naga turned to .
“I want to ask you sothing.”
“……?”
“Sir Phoenix. to you.”
Did he adapt to the status system of this world? It is no longer awkward to treat a little boy who would be a middle school student by district standards as his master.
“I wonder how far the three princes allowed you.”
“So you want to know what my authority is?”
“that’s right.”
w O “
—…….
I replied scratching my eyebrows.
“He set the plan a little loosely, so he told to stick to this big fra and proceed while looking at the rest of the situation.”
“Then can I assu that I have received full power?”
“Until the entire volu…well, follow Lord Langboldt’s advice
as much as possible-”
Sir Langbolt, who was tidying up his mustache, gave a definite answer, as if he was frustrated by my slurred speech.
“Capturing ‘Froshaven’ in Angst and ‘Eisbowald’ in Obdorf is the primary goal set by the lord. Until this is achieved, he said he would leave the arbitrary judgnt to Lord Phoenix.”
“Is the distribution of spoils included in arbitrary judgnt?”
“Speaking of trophies, what kind of… don’t be difficult, tell what you want, sir.”
At Lord Langboldt’s request, Count Ines slowly parted his lips.
“What Count Akele requested was support for the capture of Proshafen here. And Milgrester dutifully complied with the request.”
The audience nodded in agreent.
The elite troops she had loaded onto two sailboats helped to defeat the port guards, and in the city area, I joined forces with Atalanta’s soldiers to wipe out the guards.
Moreover, it was Count Ines who filled the steel fleet with all sorts of supplies, including food, oil, arrows, hay and wool. Strictly speaking, it was Lord Slanweed’s support, but anyway, that nobleman was also her betrayal.
“Yes, it is. It was of great help. Especially without the logistical support, it would have been a bit difficult.”
Now, I must confess, the original plan was to occupy Proshafen and
make up for the shortfall by plundering the city’s stockpile.
However, more than half of the food was burned as the training leader or sothing resisted by setting fire to the granary. It was a sha because Count Ines had given him enough food. Otherwise, he would have been stuck making smoked at for a few days.
“Then how much is the share in Milgrester?”
I made eye contact with Atalanta for a mont before coming up with an answer.
“I’ll give you a tenth.” “…I think he said he would guarantee up to three tenths.”
“Milgester was helpful, but not decisive.”
To put it bluntly, Milgrester’s help was not essential when destroying the Black Dragon Fleet or when dealing with the city’s troops. Honestly, Sir Langbolt, Atalanta, and I did everything.
“I paid generously considering the fact that His Excellency personally led the troops for the provision of enormous supplies. If you had just sent troops, I would have given you enough work.”
“…great.”
Fortunately, the girl did not insist on asking for more shares.
Hey, aren’t you sucking up 15% of the net profit of this wealthy port, and semi-permanently? If you’re not satisfied with that, it’s a problem with your conscience.
“Then let’s discuss what role Milgrester can play in our future plans.”
“…Are you not going back?”
“I’ve co this far, but I can’t be satisfied with a small share of the port city.”
All she wanted was land. Instead of continuing to participate in the war, he requested that part of the territory near Proshaven, that is, Angst, be taken away.
“I don’t expect much. A couple of manors along the coast would suffice.”
“…a manor?”
Before I could put on a troubled expression and say anything, Atalanta answered first.
“That is difficult. The coast of Angst, including Proshafen, was promised to and my family-”
“Who gave permission?”
“That’s right, the 3 princes”
“is asking who gave you permission to open your mouth.”
Count Ines glared at Atalanta with a completely different face from when he t Sir Langbolt with .
“Staying in the sa seat does not give you the right to speak, you lowly girl.”
What are you saying right now-”
“It ans to keep your mouth shut. Do you not understand?”
The girl clicked her tongue as Atalanta half-opened her mouth in bewildernt.
“I can’t control my tongue properly, so the soldiers under my command must be appalled. A band of robbers and rapists. I am worried that the shining reputation of the three princes will be tarnished.”
A scene where a girl with a mysterious atmosphere licks her cute lips and pours out abusive words… Not only Atalante, but Sir Langbolt and I also hardened our expressions for a mont.
Atalanta, her face red with anger and sha, clenched her fists under the table. Earl Ines looked away from her and looked back at .
“What is the answer?”
“yes?”
“Jangwon. If you give a couple of manors facing the sea, I’ll help you with Eisbobalt.”
The girl instantly erased the sharp montum she had just a mont ago, and took on her usual fierce mood. Even so, I answered with a slightly confused expression, as I could see the intention of ignoring Atalanta’s words and continuing the conversation.
“Oh, that won’t work.”
“Why?”
“Because the prince decided everything about how to distribute the territory. As in the case of Proshafen, it is possible to share a small share, but not the land at all.”
“…Then, does that an it’s possible to give away stakes in the cities you occupy in the future?” “Yes what. That is possible.” I scratched my eyebrows and asked.
“Wasn’t Your Excellency’s original goal to catch the Witch of Hymn along with Count Akele? Why are you suddenly willing to take an active part in this war?”
“…I wonder what the intent of that question is. Don’t you want Milgester’s help?”
“No, of course, if you help us, we would appreciate it.”
I could feel Atalanta’s gaze from the side. His gaze was so sharp that he wrapped her hands under the table.
what can i do It’s true that Milgrester’s joining will be a great help.
The number of troops led by Earl Ines this ti was about five hundred, which was smaller than Atalante’s troops, but their elite level was incomparably higher. It was only natural that he brought the escort as it was.
Excluding the 200 conscripts who hastily gathered to fill the number of soldiers after the decision to go out, all of them are private soldiers who have served the Milgrester family for generations. His skills and armant are excellent. To put it bluntly, his mouth hurts, and his morale and loyalty are at an absurd level. If I were to die, I wouldn’t just pretend to be dead.
In addition, there were twenty proper knights and four skilled battle mages. If this amount of power were to help in earnest, the battles in the future would be many tis easier.
“Still, I would like to know what His Excellency’s intentions are. It’s a bit like getting help without question.”
“It’s intention… It’s not like there’s sothing grandiose inside.”
The Count said with a sigh.
“Milgester has wandered around for the past decade and has lost many assets. whether visible or not. I just want to make up for the loss.”
I recently found out through a donation, that the Abiden region suffered from asles for a while due to family quarrels with the Earl of Milgrester. In the end, I heard that Ines, who had lost not only her parents but also everyone she could trust, rose to the position of head of the family.
There is a guest, Viscount Cyril, but he is a nobleman called ‘Viscount Goblin’ because of his greedy and stingy personality. As Earl Ines, he must have been wary of soone aiming for the title rather than relying on him.
“I’m curious as to why the fresh blood is chasing the Witch of Hymn… but seeing his reaction, I think I’m going to get caught in the crossfire.”
It is an understandable explanation. If you recall the ferocious aura close to killing that Count Ah Kelle exuded.
“It would be better to fill your stomach elsewhere than risk being bitten by a poisonous snake. The three princes, His Highness, who enjoys sharing rather than stealing, are preparing a table, so I just want to be with them.”
“…I see. understand.”
For the high lord, she was straightforward enough, so I was able to read her thoughts to so extent.
It reminds of a boy with the sa title at the sa age as Count Ines. Oh, that boy, Ariaga, who must be struggling in the high castle by now to get his grandfather’s approval.
I wonder if Count Ines’ real purpose was to prove his ability and solidify his authority within the family, just like Os did. Ulkar, who has an undefeated record, is a worthy opponent to bet on
.
After confirming Milgrester’s participation in the war, I looked back at Sir Langbolt.
“Then what about the Iron Fleet now?”
“Is there anything special? I have to return it.”
In the first place, the reason why Ulkar called the Iron Fleet was to wipe out the fishn tribe that swept through the southwest of the kingdom at the ti. However, by the ti the Iron Fleet arrived in Oduenne, the situation had changed drastically and they were caught up in a war with the Elector Counts.
Although Sir Langboldt had temporarily handed over the baton and used it to overco the blade, he could not bring the Iron Fleet into the war any longer. After all, the owner of the fleet is not Lord Langboldt, but his father, the Earl of Lytton.
“It’s too bad. Even if we only recruited sailors from the fleet, there would be over eight hundred.”
Sailors are also sailors, but the battle wizards riding two on each sailboat are also pitiful. In particular, the battle mage aboard the flagship ‘Grand Mada’ used electric shock magic amazingly…
“Don’t be too sad. The privates will stay.”
“Yes, what…
If you ask who to put on the nose with only 200 people, you won’t be cheap, right?
Maybe it’s because they’ve been imrsed in the war quite deeply lately, so I can’t even see a number of about one hundred or two hundred. Is it because they think that if they are not quite elite soldiers, they can be wiped out to the extent of sweating… You shouldn’t take people’s lives lightly.
Around the ti they were awakening their own awareness, the story of the formation of the garrisoned and dispatched troops ca and went.
“Proshafen will be taken care of by us.”
“Who are you?”
“huh. It will be our clan’s city, so it’s only natural that we protect it.”
As soon as Atalanta finished speaking, Count Ines muttered with a fierce face.
“The city will be in ruins in a few days. It’s obvious if you don’t look.”
I opened my mouth quickly as Atalanta glared intently at the girl with soft purple eyes.
“Do not worry. Now it will be theirs, so would you like to plunder it?”
“I don’t know. One thing is certain, it would be foolish not to lock the gate in front of a group of bandits.”
Regardless of whether Atalanta stared at him or shook his fist, Count Ines calmly continued his argunt. It was dangerous to leave only the nude soldiers behind, so he said he would leave her and the troops under Sir Langboldt as well.
To be honest, I also believed in Atalanta, not the Nudane, so I reluctantly agreed to that opinion.
It looks like Atalanta is pretty pissed off… I’ll just have to get him out of bed later.
In the end, the remaining garrison in Proshafen was decided to be 350 n, including 200 nudes plus so of Count Ines and Lord Langboldt. The grandmother of the clan chief under Atalante, ‘Annenso of Le Jun’, was in charge. Count Ines decided to keep a trusted knight and Sir Langboldt a sergeant.
Since the garrison was decided, it was not difficult to organize the marching army. It was just a matter of dragging everything except for the supply corps of about 200, which would subsequently transport supplies.
anwhile, I personally took on an unexpected task. Suddenly, a hundred soldiers were given.
The identity of the soldiers were the prisoners captured while occupying Proshafen. To be precise, among the captives, they are the ones with intact limbs.
If you leave it to Atalanta or Sir Langbolt, it’s rare for you to like the Gellans, whether you’re a nude or a seaman, so there was a lot of potential for conflict. It was a little ambiguous to entrust it to Count Ines, who was like a guest house, and it felt like a waste of a hundred heads to put him in prison.
Hey, if I had known this would happen, I would have brought Confier or Dervish. I was left with a hundred soldiers on my own without a single reliable follower.
But ti was running out, so there was no ti to be dissatisfied. After occupying Proshafen, you have to leave the city within two days to make sure the plan is in order, so it was ti to take a nap, check supplies, and organize troops.
As soon as I was in a hurry, I borrowed two veterans proficient in Gellan from Sir Langbolt, and selected two high-ranking prisoners among the prisoners and made them sergeants.
It’s a bit cumberso, but… if you have it, you’ll have a corner where you can use it.
On the way, I plan to give carrots appropriately at the sa ti as I roll. It’s rare in this world that gold and silver can’t do it, so even if you can’t make them climb the walls, I think it’s possible to keep them in formation.
With such expectations, I left Proshafen and climbed the Deval Road.
More than 1,200 marching troops marched north on the spring wind. Even I, who was at the forefront, could not predict how far this march would go.
