The reincarnated god of war destroys the empire
Marquis Laxir (5)
“… … .”
A cold silence fell.
“Are you going to give me the chance to live?”
“Where did you hear that?”
“… … ?”
“I heard you said the same thing to the elves. Strike the dwarves! Then I will let you live.”
“… … .”
Marquis Laxir, who had been glaring at me for a long time, soon burst into laughter.
“This is it… … . Now I’m confused as to whether I’m talking to a representative of a different race or a human noble.”
Still, as a gentleman recognized by everyone, he seems to know shame.
“Do you like fishing?”
“To some extent, I do.”
I’ve lived my whole life on the battlefield.
While fighting, they would pick fruits from the surrounding mountains and eat them, and they would also hunt wild boars and eat them.
Of course, if there was a river, we would catch fish and grill them to eat.
Especially when food supply was inadequate, there was also the experience of surviving in isolated areas for quite a long time, living self-sufficiently.
but.
‘There was someone else I really wanted to go fishing with.’
I had a dream like that one day.
When the war ends, he and Andy set off with only a fishing rod.
I wanted to leave my nagging wife behind and go on a trip with just my son.
Even though it is a dream that cannot come true now.
“When you go fishing, you have to empty your mind first. Don’t they often say that you’re not catching fish, but rather catching time?”
Whirlirik!
The betting has already begun.
As the conversation continued, Marquis Laxir continued to catch fish.
It wasn’t long before I caught ten of them.
“Nine times out of ten, young people pull the line as soon as they feel a bite coming. It’s all because they’re impatient. Then, the fish that have been watching from below the water immediately run away.”
“okay.”
“It’s the same with our lives. Impatience always ruins things. We lack caution in everything. Just like you are now. Oh! Don’t misunderstand, it’s a fishing story.”
The training continued as if it was teaching.
And while doing so, he caught the fish as if he was giving medicine.
I was simply amazed by his skills.
‘They say he’s the best fisherman on the continent. It’s true to form.’
Well, that must be why he accepted my bet so quickly.
Marquis Laxir seemed to have no intention of giving him any leeway.
Because the gap had already widened for quite some time.
When he caught thirty, I only caught ten.
“It’s clear that someone who enjoys this field and is crazy about it can’t win.”
I shook my head and then raised both hands.
“Hehehe, are you giving up already? But keep going. I want to talk to you for as long as possible.”
It means that you want to keep tickling the butthole and getting your butt pumped.
Until I finally explode.
“Well, I feel the same way.”
“Or, should I show you a trick?”
“No. Let me show you a trick.”
“… … ?”
Before Marquis Laxir could even raise his question, I slowly approached the riverbank.
Then, he quietly placed his palm on the water.
Woohoo!
A majestic resonance resonates simultaneously.
“… … !”
The escort knights, startled by the sudden sound of Mana, appeared.
They were so well hidden everywhere that their number reached thirty.
Chaechaechaechae!
Soon they surrounded me and thrust their swords at me.
One, I didn’t stop my actions at all.
‘It doesn’t have to be that strong. Just spread the energy as wide as possible.’
Woof! Woof!
The mana flowing out of my hand soon spreads out little by little over the river.
Then at one moment.
Phew! Phew!
“… … !”
There was a loud bang, and then an explosion occurred above the water.
Swaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Amid the pouring water, Marquis Laxir suddenly rose from his seat.

It was shortly after that that the fish were discovered floating in the river, their boats capsized.
The number alone was estimated to be in the hundreds.
“What are you trying to do now?”
“I usually fish like this.”
What you just said was not a lie, it was the truth.
Who would have time to leisurely enjoy fishing in the midst of war?
You never know when the enemy will strike.
We had to figure out a way to feed as many people as possible in the shortest possible time, and this is the result.
“Are you kidding me?”
“Are you really going to call it foul play? I don’t think there were any special restrictions on the method.”
“This isn’t fishing! It’s just a rip-off!”
“Well said.”
I nodded quietly.
“What the Marquis did at Black Swan is not war. It is a so-called squabble, telling others not to eat something because I don’t think I can eat it.”
“… … !”
Only then did Marquis Laxir open his eyes.
“It was ungentlemanly conduct. It was unbecoming of your reputation.”
“… … .”
“And… …Should we put the swords away now?”
Still, the dark clouds that fell upon me remained unwavering.
“… … Once is a warning, but twice is not enough?”
“baron!”
Marquis Laxir shouted, his face turning red.
“I just can’t understand! Aren’t you human? Why are you siding with the alien race?”
“It’s simple. I dream of becoming the first human lord to live with other races.”
“… … !”
At the same time, the corners of Marquis Laxir’s eyes twitched.
“Mad… … . Do you think that’s possible? The Baron doesn’t understand their hatred for humans at all.”
“It was humans who created that hatred.”
“To be exact, it’s our ancestors!”
“If our ancestors made a mistake, it is our role as descendants to correct that mistake.”
“The Baron is a delusional person.”
“Isn’t a delusional person better than a scoundrel who just stabs someone without even trying?”
“… … .”
Marquis Laxir, who had been in that state for a while, soon gave an order.
“Put your sword away.”
Choo choo choo choo!
At the same time, the swords pointed at me disappeared.
“Do you accept the result of the bet?”
Marquis Laxir gritted his teeth without answering.
“… … .”
And there was a pair of eyes quietly watching the scene from a dark place.
***
It was when I was passing the main gate of Marquis Laxir’s house.
“Huh?”
As if in a lie, my steps stopped.
“Have you been waiting for me all this time?”
Because among the crowd of knights, there was a very familiar face.
“I stopped by because I had something to do.”
Marquis Poltine responded nonchalantly.
Just by looking at the expressions on the knights’ faces, I could tell roughly what was going on.
Because the faces were completely rotting away.
“You didn’t threaten me to open the door, did you?”
“Let’s stop whining and go now. These guys are so obsessed with old people, it’s really a bed of thorns.”
By that time, we had completely left the Marquis of Laxir’s mansion.
“Did things go well for you?”
“Yes, I won the bet.”
“bet……?”
I explained everything that had happened.
As the story continues, Marquis Foltain looks even more and more puzzled.
“You used such a trick, and you’re saying you surrendered to the government?”
“If I don’t admit it, it’s no different from admitting that my actions in Black Swan were a trick.”
“Oh my?”
Only then did Marquis Poltine let out a small exclamation of admiration.
“Kekekekeke. You really analyzed the nobles’ reputation.”
“I didn’t even realize that it was a trick. Isn’t that a common mistake people make? When I do it, it’s romance, but when someone else does it, it’s an affair.”
“Especially Marquis Rakshire, who is called the noblest of nobles, must have a lot to feel.”
“Do you know about him?”
“No, I don’t really like hypocrites like that. We were going down different paths to begin with.”
Come to think of it, Marquis Laxir has been a royalist for a long time.
Anyway, compared to him, Marquis Foltein was very honest.
“Anyway, I’m really looking forward to seeing how the low-level guy turns out. What if he doesn’t send that guy called Abidal?”
“I warned you in advance that if you continue to be uncooperative, I will cut off your head.”
“Poohahahahahaha!”
The Marquis of Foltein burst into laughter, unable to hold it back.
“A mere baron is talking to His Majesty the Marquis? I thought he was going to seduce me, but it turns out he went to cause quite a ruckus.”
“Still, one person… … no, one elf would have viewed my actions quite positively.”
“huh?”
At the same time, Marquis Foltein tilted his head.
I was quite sensitive to energy.
Of course, I couldn’t have not felt the eyes observing me.
‘I’m sure he tried to hide it.’
Of course, that wasn’t my intention, but isn’t a good thing a good thing?
“Since you showed your sincerity, at least there won’t be any more accidents in the future.”

Meanwhile, in the royal palace’s martial arts studio.
Under the bright moonlight.
Knock, knock, knock.
Winry, who was swinging her sword while sweating profusely, tilted her head.
“Where have you been?”
It was just after I discovered the black-haired beauty approaching from afar.
“outing.”
The red-eyed elf, Erina, responded briefly.
Naturally, entry into the palace is subject to strict identity checks.
In that sense, Erina was now able to freely move around most of the interior except for the main palace where the king resided.
‘The youngest of the Carrot Baron family, Eri.’
That was Erina’s new identity.
Here, the mask of the night played a big role.
They do many different things.
Of course, the main work I do is information-related.
Naturally, manipulating information was also their specialty.
It means that creating a new identity is not a big deal.
‘Still… … It must have been quite difficult to create a status that could fool even the royal family, but it was amazing.’
At that time, Winry was purely amazed.
To enter the palace without arousing suspicion, one must at least be of noble birth.
And, the Mask of the Night spent a fortune that sounded like a ‘billion’ to plant saplings in noble houses all over the continent.
Some people were raised that way from the beginning, and some were bought with money.
Thanks to this, Winry was able to clearly see why the Mask of Night was called the continent’s greatest intelligence organization.
“As you may already know, to become my knight escort, you must prove yourself worthy. I can’t just appoint someone just because I want to. First, I need permission from the guard palace… .”
Winry continued speaking and smiled bitterly.
Well, what’s there to worry about?
The opponent is a monster that has the upper hand even against two of their own masters.
However, I was just worried that if I exercised my power too excessively, it could become a problem in another way.
“Don’t worry.”
“Yes. Erina… … No, I’ll only trust Eri.”
“… … ?”
“If you’re going to do it, you have to do it for sure.”
“… … .”
Erina, who had been looking at Winry for a moment, soon nodded.
“I have a personal question.”
“… … !”
At that moment, Winry opened her eyes.
Erina just said only the most necessary things.
As if that was his original personality.
Of course, it was the first time that such ‘personal’ questions were asked.
“Ask me anything!”
Winry said, jumping down from the training ground.
But.
“What kind of person is Enslot?”
From the first question, it far exceeded my expectations.
“… … Huh? Suddenly?”
But the truly shocking content was just beginning.
“I became interested.”
“… … !”
At the same time, Winry’s pupils vibrated wildly.
“Well, interested?”
***
The next day, at Mylon’s mansion.
“Are you sure you’re coming?”
Nella opened her halibut eyes and glared at me.
“He’ll come. I already got a call.”
“Do you think he’ll hand it over just like that?”
“You’ll know it when you see it from now on. It’s right there.”
“… … !”
Nella’s gaze quickly followed my fingertips.
As the words said, a green-haired man was being dragged in front, tied up with rope.
The problem is.
“… … Are you sure that the conversation went well? To me, it looks like you’re tying up prisoners and trying to have a fight with us?”
The fact was that there were well over five hundred heavily armed knights with them.
