392. Knowing what I have
“I am a sinner.”
Acea had to admit her mistake.
Even if Encred covers it and doesn’t say anything, what he did won’t go anywhere. He didn’t think his guilt would go away just because his younger brother was taken hostage.
Everything is an excuse and an excuse.
At least Acia thought so herself, so she was a sinner.
When I said that, Krang’s answer came back.
“How about covering up your mistakes with balls? Like I said, I’m in a situation where I have to lend a hand to the cat.”
They said it was no big deal.
Is it an urgent situation and there is nothing you can do?
Despite that, Krang’s attitude was so calm that it felt excessive.
Are you saying it doesn’t matter if anyone needs it? No, it wasn’t like that. I felt something similar to faith in myself.
Can you do that even though I was on the side that betrayed you only half a day ago?
I couldn’t even feel the eyes of the two marquis watching me.
Acea’s mouth opened.
“How can you trust me?”
I didn’t understand Krang’s attitude.
Because it’s the Knights of the Red Cloak? Is it really because we don’t have enough hands? Do you need the few remaining forces in the palace? Because you are a quasi-knight?
Asia looked at Krang, and Krang smiled brightly as he looked at Asia.
“I trust this guy’s eyes. “I think that will do.”
Krang raised his finger and pointed at one person. And that was the end.
The object pointed out and the person called this friend, is Encred.
“There seems to be a mountain of things to sort out right now. See you again.”
Krang said only that and left, and Encred asked where he left.
“Can you adjust my nose?”
It seemed like he didn’t even care about his own betrayal.
“I already got it right.”
This is the thought that comes to mind while looking directly at Encred and answering.
‘Do you know me well?’
We hung out for a while, but not for long. She didn’t even think that the other person knew why she was here.
I didn’t want to show that I reluctantly stood in the way to protect my younger brother.
“See you later.”
So, I was at a loss for what to say.
After that, I had to step away because my younger brother’s safety was urgent, but fortunately, my younger brother was safe.
Although she moved immediately, Acea’s face was still a mess. The area around her nose was swollen and her face was covered in purple bruises.
Every time I ran, I was clutching my sides with my hands due to the throbbing pain in my chest.
In that state, Acea explained the situation to her younger brother.
“I received favor.”
This is the conclusion I came to after rescuing my younger brother and coming here.
Whatever was underlying it, the other person covered him and believed him.
I can’t say that everything ended well, but it ended very well for Acea.
“Is it grace that ruined your face like that?”
My younger brother asks. He was embarrassed and frustrated after being kidnapped, but he was fine now. At least it seemed that way on the outside.
It is a calmness to avoid worrying oneself. I was so thankful for that.
“huh.”
“If you hit me twice, I’ll ask you to marry me.”
“We should consider it.”
It’s a lame joke.
Even though his life was threatened because of his younger brother, he did not hold any grudges.
He grew up well.
Acea could have broken her sword for her younger brother.
So I didn’t regret my choice. If the same situation came up, I would still choose my younger brother.
I wanted to ask Encred for no reason.
What are you going to do if you do it again?
Somehow, the answer seemed easy to come by.
I didn’t know him well and only received it one-sidedly, but I felt like I had already heard the answer.
“You don’t have to create situations like that.”
It was correct. Encred was actually thinking like that while moving.
After rescuing my younger brother, I turned around and went home after sunset to wash and take care of my injured body.
“Thank you for your generosity. “You will never get another chance to prove yourself by fighting for the right side.”
The Marquis of Octo sent someone to say:
I thought so even if I didn’t say it.
I found out who was behind the bastard who took my younger brother hostage.
The one who came to the fore was Viscount Mernes, but who was the one who put that Viscount forward?
Crack.
My teeth were shaking, but I clenched my molars tightly.
The injury will probably heal in less than 15 days.
All you have to do is stay still and rest for 15 days. Afterwards, he will ask you to place him on the battlefield.

In this way, he will let the other person know who he is and the price he will pay for messing with his brother.
Looking forward to that moment, Acea stroked her younger brother’s head.
* * *
‘I will definitely avenge you, Lycanos.’
Lycanos was a colleague and younger brother who had the same dream and started out as a member of the Black Knife Thieves.
We were just like family, just because we weren’t related by blood.
It was dawn before dawn. The surroundings looked bright blue. The man left the castle and headed towards the northern gate.
It’s hard to get out of the castle, but it’s easy from here.
No one will doubt themselves.
The Collector has already died as the leader of the Black Sword.
‘It was a well-used tool until the end.’
The man walked diligently and pondered his revenge. There was also a plan.
‘Secret Vault.’
It is a place where wealth has been accumulated for over ten years.
The man was the collector’s servant, and was also the real head of the black sword.
A man who once took up the sword for those who were persecuted and despised along with Lycanos.
If Lycanos proved himself through force, he led the Black Blade Bandits this far with faith and brains.
Of course, any human being is bound to change when he or she is influenced by power and wealth.
Because of that change, we got to where we are today.
Because of that change, Lycanos died.
Because of that change, the only thing left in my grasp is wealth, but realizing that is a long way off.
‘certainly.’
He thought about revenge over and over again, but deep down, he knew it too.
This is realistically impossible. How can you accomplish something that even the foundation of nobility and the power you have concentrated so far has failed while barely escaping with your life?
I know everything, but the promise of revenge was a perfect fit for rationalizing it by running away to save myself.
In fact, although he felt a sense of crisis at the death of Lycanos, he did not feel sorrow.
For that to happen, he was too different a person from the past to the present.
‘Once we get out of here.’
Perhaps he will even forget his pledge of revenge.
They end up living in exile in another country with the wealth they have saved in a secret safe.
Then, you could pretend to be a noble yourself.
Otherwise, I think it would be okay to pack one upper part.
If this doesn’t work, it would be a good idea to hold an event for wealthy people in a suitable city.
The object on my shoulder had unknowingly drawn another future.
The man shook his head violently.
‘No, I will definitely take revenge.’
He ended up deceiving himself as he walked. Suddenly, dawn began to break. The blue air around embraces a sense of peace. Warmth permeates. He walked like that with his back to the sunlight.
It was no longer the attire of a servant.
He wore a dirty cloak with a hood attached to it and gaiters. He was disguised as a hunter.
‘You idiots.’
They will never find themselves.
When the guy named Saxony was chasing me, I felt like I was completely out of breath. It felt like a blade was touching under his chin.
So what now?
‘I lived.’
Of course, I had no intention of just running away. He was angry until the end.
He ordered all remaining members of the Black Blade Bandits to set fire to the palace.
Now it’s time for the fire to rise.
Thinking about that, I turned my head back. She was quiet. It was finally time for the hard-working people to open their eyes, but because of the chaos last night, those who had stayed up all night were seen around them.
Although there were no battles or scuffles within the capital, there was chaos in front of the city gates, and the commotion that occurred in the royal palace instilled anxiety in everyone’s hearts.
However, there was no fire to decorate the finale.
‘why?’
Doubts are fleeting. No, regardless of the question, my feet were busy moving. He left the alley and walked diligently until he reached the north gate.
“Hold on there for a moment.”
A soldier leaning against the side door wearing a crooked helmet called out to him. His voice was thin and thin. She looked like a woman.
“What is it?”
The man answered. The soldier took off his crooked helmet. Long blonde hair fell down. It was a female soldier.
“Why do you keep glancing behind you?”
Is this something to start a fight about?
But in this situation, where has the North Gate guard gone and is there only one soldier?
The leader of the Black Knife Bandits felt ominous. The air was strange. My heart was pounding with a sense of crisis.
This is the moment I looked beyond the female soldier. A few soldiers were sitting quietly and dozing.
‘Are you dozing off?’
The leader quickly realized the reason for the strangeness. After all the trouble last night, does it make sense for the security guard to sit down and doze off?
“I’m sorry, but there won’t be a fire.”
The female soldier said.
“… … “Who are you?”
“Geor’s dagger.”
The woman answered with her arms crossed. It’s a relaxed attitude. That was more ominous. Cold sweat broke out down her back.
“late.”
The woman continued. This is said while looking backwards. The leader was startled and turned her body around.
There I saw a man with a rare appearance, impressive hazel eyes that showed no emotion.
“Nice to meet you.”
He said.
The leader thought that the situation was like a ghoul penis, and at the same time, he sensed that he had become a penis.
In order to escape, he cursed his complacency for not even having a scroll on his person.
But if I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have come this far.
There was no way to hide something like that to avoid the detection spells that abounded within the palace.
All I have now is a knife. He already knew that the other person was someone he couldn’t communicate with.
Because I have already seen how the collector I appointed died.
My hands were shaking from fear.
“You must have had fun so far, right? “Now it’s my turn to have fun.”
Saxony felt awkward as he killed the collector. How can someone who has completely hidden his identity this easily?
Just then, Encred ordered the interior to be cleaned.
A civil war is expected.
What is the most important thing to do in order to fight?
Clean up the surroundings.
If a knife flies at your back, you’ll lose before you even start.
This is something that both Cran and the marquis, both great nobles, agreed to.
Marcus joined in the middle and accelerated the work.
Saxony also did what it had to do. The task is to find the remaining remnants.
Meanwhile, Geor’s assistant guild member, who had followed Saxony, joined.
I told her she didn’t have to come forward, but she didn’t.
“master.”
the woman says She was Saxony’s lover and a member of Georg’s assistant. It’s natural to say her name. It was natural.
Saxony was Geor’s assistant and the master of the continent’s best assassin guild.
“Are you going back after finishing this?”
She continues: Now, my business here is over. In her judgment, yes.
“We’ll talk later.”
Saxony answered. Right now, the task in front of me came first.
* * *
Count Molsen was not bluffing. He didn’t lie. He sent his troops as border guards.
Among them, there were over fifty lycanthropes.
It is a monster that changes from a human to a wolf.
The one in the lead was someone who killed people and chewed their flesh even when he was human.
Even though he was only a semi-knight back then, he now possessed the power of monsters.
“Let’s go chew some soft flesh.”
Chuckling, he took the lead.
‘No one can stop it.’
He was confident of victory.
No, it goes further. From now on, the lycanthrope unit he leads will become the name of fear that will rule this area.
The bastard who had been a bastard when he was human now turned into a dog, raised his snout and cried.
Awww!
A fifty-year-old lycanthrope roared after him.
Awwwwww!
The cries of monsters instill fear in humans. It was a fear imprinted in my instincts.
However, the troops lined up in front of the Border Guard gate were calm.
If you repeat anything, it becomes dull.
Meanwhile, the Border Guard standing army fought tirelessly.
Azpen, monsters, cultists, territory troops, etc.
There were so many different cubs targeting the Border Guard to the point of extreme. There was no time to rest inside or out.
Once a cultist came through the gate on the inner side of the kingdom, Azpen would attack from the other side.
This is the standing army that remained after going through such experiences.
The heart of the standing army, which had become dull, was strengthened, and the city itself became relaxed.
In the past, news of a battle alone would have stopped the top brass, and support would have become scarce, creating anxiety.
“You don’t trust us? Or do you want us dead?”
Now, at the center of logistics within the Border Guard was the Lochfried upper level.
As soon as merchants belonging to the upper tier recognized the enemy’s invasion, they secured distribution channels for all kinds of supplies, including food.
There were many people around to help.
Of course, Count Molsen tried to isolate the Border Guard, so he also put pressure on the surrounding nobles and cities.
It was a warning that if you help, you will be next.
Nevertheless, Encrid helped the city and Martai that they saved from the gnoll colony.
In addition, the reputation that Lochfried’s upper class had built up was not low.
As a result, the city itself did not have a very scary atmosphere.
In other words, there were many things different from before.
Cryce stood on the castle wall watching fifty lycanthropes attack him and felt the need to urinate.
‘Aww, I’m scared.’
Still, I had to do what I had to do.
If you lose the first fight, what little support you have will be cut off.
That’s not good.
‘The one who dominates the baseline wins.’
The enemy is a great nobleman who is in charge of this whole area. Count Molsen is the king of the frontier.
“If that doesn’t work, we’ll take hostages.”
Kreis muttered in a low voice that only he could hear.
He was also keeping an eye on Count Molsen’s two children so that he could do something if something went wrong.
To be exact, I’ve had my eyes glued on it for a long time.
In case you didn’t know, they were people who didn’t know when and how they would be used.
Even though I did that, there was no hope that the hostage would work.
Hostage to that Count Molsen?
There is no way.
But, that doesn’t mean we can’t just leave those two alone.
There are already 36 ways to escape when you make a mistake.
And before Kreis came up with thirty-six ways to escape, he came up with one hundred and seventy ways to win and hold on.
Among them, this was the most useful, reasonable, and efficient first move.
“Will it be okay?”
Venjens, who was in charge of the archers on the castle wall, asked from the side. He said as he looked at the man standing in front of the troops lined up by Kreis, who was two heads taller than the other soldiers.
“Of all things, including strategy, tactics, and war, what do you think is the first thing to consider?”
Venjens thought for a moment and answered.
“… … Um, fraud?”
Morale and military spirit are also important.
But you need to think about it before that.
“It’s knowing what I have.”
I thought it was an ambiguous statement, but it is actually a simple statement.
The first thing to do is to use what you have properly.
How can you fight when you don’t even know what you have?
Kreis knew Audin. He didn’t know everything about him, but he knew that he wasn’t a great person who would back down from just fifty lycanthropes.
Teresa, also known as the Bear Sister, was also there.
So I told them not to shoot even a single arrow.
It had to be that way.
You have to break your nose in the first battle. Only then will Count Molsen give up this place.
Kreis’ brain finished calculating.
As a result of the calculation, Audin was raising his fist towards the drooling lycanthrope in front of him.
