15 – Episode 15. Zeeland Defense (2)
Under Irene’s orders, the soldiers of Brans’ army began charging toward Zeeland Castle all at once.
“Shoot!”
At a single word from Luna, who was stationed on the castle wall, the elite archers belonging to the Raven mercenary group began showering arrows all at once.
An overwhelming amount of arrows were raining down on the enemy soldiers from above, and it certainly seemed like they were inflicting heavy damage –
‘There are too many…… !’
It is a large army of over 20,000 people.
Of course, not all 20,000 people flocked to the eastern gate of this place – even if the soldiers were divided, the number was too large.
It is quite natural that no matter how many arrows are poured down, they cannot be stopped.
Besides.
Boulders were flying one by one from the catapult in the distance.
Boom!
A loud roar struck Luna’s eardrums, loud enough to pierce even the soldiers’ shouts.
It is disadvantageous.
It was a shame because Swen focused on repairing the castle walls, but I was afraid that if he had invested in other internal affairs, the castle gates might have been breached very quickly.
‘Swen…… !’
Swen said.
Signing an armistice is the only way.
To be honest, I still don’t know how to make an agreement – but Luna trusted Swen.
Because he was the first colleague and first strategist who believed in him and came in.
‘Please…… I’ll hold on as long as I can…… ASAP…… !’
And the stage is again under the castle walls.
Tifa in front of the door raised her ax and shouted loudly at the soldiers from her horse saddle.
“Everyone! Attack the catapult first! Do you understand?!”
“Ooooo!!!”
As if to show the results of their daily training, the soldiers under Tifa were charging at the enemy with great courage.
Although there was a clear difference in troops, the morale of the soldiers did not show signs of decline.
That’s because their great general, Tifa, was at the vanguard.
“Attack us all at once, you bastards!”
Tifa was swinging her ax freely and slaughtering enemy soldiers.
At the sight of the arrows being fired at a much faster rate than the arrows fired from the castle walls, a small stir was rising among the Brans army’s soldiers.
“W-what! That monster-like bastard…!”
“It’s coming this way!”
Irene, who noticed that her soldiers’ ranks were collapsing, quickly grasped the situation for some reason.
In front of me, the female general was swinging an ax to overwhelm the soldiers on this side.
‘Hoo.’
Even though it was a weak country, there were some pretty useful people there.
Iren shouted loudly to her soldiers.
“Everyone, step back!”
At Iren’s words, the battle stopped for a moment.
I soon rode the horse and slowly moved forward.
“My name is Irene Juliet. What is your name?”
“You know what to do, sha!”
Tifa said, pointing the ax blade at Iren.
“If you want to fight while having this complicated conversation, just come in!”
It was something that someone who values chivalry would consider extremely rude, but-
Iren seemed to really like Tifa’s reaction and said with a low smile.
“You are nothing short of a beast. I like people like you. But!”
Chaeng!
The sound of the two women’s axes clashing with the huge sword resonates as if it could eat the heavens and the earth.
“Friends with a wild nature like you have a short lifespan. That’s a shame!”
“Why is your tongue so long?! Come on, you bastard!”
Chaeng!
The two people divide the sum several times.
With that alone, we were able to gauge each other’s level.
At this point, it was Tifa who was confused.
‘…… ‘She’s strong, this woman!’
Female knight Irene.
Of course Tifa had heard of that name.
But- Tifa was the type of person who believed what she saw and heard rather than what she heard.
She also said that rumor had it that she was excellent at siege warfare, but since she didn’t say anything else, I thought her personal combat skills were only so-so.
After dividing the sum a few times, it is not difficult to realize.
It is impossible to defeat this woman with her own abilities!
‘Damn it!’
But.
If you think about it one by one like that, how can the Lunarien Army you belong to defeat a powerful nation like Brans County?
Besides, didn’t that corrupt young flower boy say something? I will definitely reach an armistice agreement.
So-
‘Hold on! ‘You have to hang in here!’
Chaeng!
“Why don’t you be more sincere? Otherwise, you could really die.”
Tifa bit her lip and shouted at Iren’s words.
“I’ll go on the floor for four years!”
“Ha!”
The only one who can turn this situation around now is Swen, the tactician.
Holding on until the results come back from Swen –
With only that in mind, Tifa continued to slam the blade of her ax into her unbeatable opponent.
* * *
She rode away on her horse.
If I were to go to Kihara Castle, where I stayed before entering the Lunarien Army, I would have arrived in one day – but the place where the monarch, Lyn Brans, lived was Anel Castle, a little further away.
One day, two days…… I somehow managed to get to Annell Castle while sleeping on the saddle of a horse.
‘Can I just go to the palace?’
In the game, if you press the ‘Diplomacy’ button and then the ‘Run’ button, you can have an audience with the other country’s monarch –
Trying to actually have an audience with the monarch was not that complicated.
“Stop!”
Because it has already been blocked from entering the castle gate like this.
“Who is your guy?”
‘…… Hmm. ‘Will it work?’
You cannot use the 1300 gold dowry you brought for diplomacy.
From Noble mtl dot com
I said, taking out 30 gold from my personal wallet.
There was a lot of bleeding because 30 gold out of 130 gold was given away, but if I couldn’t get in here, the Lunarien army would be destroyed, so what could I do?
“I’m not a suspicious person. Is there anything I can do with this?”
“……Hmm…Um. You can go in. Go in!”
Luckily it worked.
Actually, I expected it. There was no such setting in [Garland Eternity Saga], Which I played, but in other games of a similar genre made by the game company that developed it, there was a function to bribe guards like this.
Anyway, I was able to safely enter the interior of Annel Castle.
‘Wow.’
When I entered the castle, I was immediately enchanted by the scenery unfolding before my eyes.
The cityscape was like something out of a fantasy game teaser movie, and I suddenly realized that I had entered a different world.
That’s because the only cities I’ve seen so far were the average-sized Kihara Castle and the crumbling small town of Zeeland Castle.
The number of people walking around inside was so large that it was on another level.
It was worthy of its reputation as the largest castle in the central continent.
‘I don’t have time to be like this.’
I immediately found a place that looked like a royal castle.
It wasn’t difficult to find.
Because there was a castle in the center with a spire that could be seen by anyone as a place for a monarch to reside.
‘It’s definitely there. Let’s go.’
I quickly ran to where the castle was.
*
When I entered the castle gate, I was worried that meeting the monarch might not be as easy as I thought because I was caught off guard by the guards.
Fortunately, meeting the monarch itself was not that difficult.
Of course, after completing the light physical examination, there were soldiers on both sides as if they were watching, but it didn’t matter how many times I did this as long as I could have an audience with the monarch.
It was much better than wasting time wasting time because we couldn’t meet because of some strange condition.
‘Hey.’
The interior of the royal castle of Annell Castle was nothing short of luxurious.
The furniture looked very expensive, and the various decorations that gave both a sense of intimidation and dignity were enough to make me, an outsider, feel very shabby.
This was even more so when you consider that the royal castle of Zeeland Castle was nothing more than a royal room made of bricks.
I didn’t know much about it because the interior design of the castle was unified in the game.
When I thought about it, I realized that this difference was even more absurd.
No, since this is reality itself, it would be ridiculous to question its authenticity.
‘As expected, it’s good to have a large company.’
How far did we go by following the soldiers’ instructions?
“Please wait here.”
One of the soldiers guarding next to me said that and went forward, opened the door, and went in.
And after some time.
“Please come inside.”
Okay.
Will I finally have an audience with the monarch?
I remembered the lines in the game and went inside with my heart pounding a little.
*
The door opens.
I stepped into the hallway leading to the throne room of King Anel.
A long red carpet was laid out, and people who appeared to be generals of the Brans army were lined up on both sides.
Some people might have been intimidated by them all looking at my face –
‘There’s no need for me to be scared.’
Now, I was the so-called ‘super power’ who came to conclude an agreement that was ‘100% bound to happen’.
They accept my agreement. No other results could be obtained. Because I, who has 100 intelligence, predicted that.
He walked forward without hiding his confidence.
And finally.
I was able to arrive in front of the throne room door.
In the throne room are the monarch, the messenger, and two guards to monitor my actions.
And it’s just the monarch’s trick.
Isn’t this the actual battlefield I came to as a messenger – the throne room of the royal castle?
I slowly opened the door, realizing what it felt like to be visiting the home team as an away player.
The door closes.
In my field of vision, the figure of a woman sitting on a throne appears to be bored.
Long blue hair and eyes as blue as the hair color.
Beautiful appearance with elegance.
She certainly has beauty that sparkles like a jewel, but an aura was radiating from her that could not be explained simply by the word ‘pretty’.
In a way, it was natural. That beautiful woman with a petite body was the one who surpassed her two brothers and ascended to the highest position in Brans County.
The Lynn Brans I remember was just a woman with blue hair.
Because the portrait was done with dots, it didn’t really hit me that much even though it was a beautiful portrait.
But – if you actually see it, you have no choice but to understand.
That she is the monarch’s prize. She can sense at a glance that she is a person who will not tolerate being under others.
This is the first female monarch I have met since my first monarch, Runarien Inian.
Lyn Brans was looking at me with a faint smile.
‘Next to…… ‘There’s no one.’
Is there no bookkeeper?
There are a few people that come to mind when it comes to Lynn Brans’s secretaries. Is there some special reason?
Well, if you were a messenger from a weak country like me, you might have thought that you could handle it on your own.
No matter what, I just did my best in the given situation.
I slowly got down on my knees.
And then – I uttered the sentence I had seen dozens of times in the game.
“Today, I have come to deliver a story from our monarch, Runarien.”
After hearing what I said, Lynn Brans laughed as if it was funny, and then she spoke in a low voice.
“Oh my♡ You have a smooth face, and you have come to visit a country at war as an emissary. I guess you have a more manly side than you look, huh?”
He openly used words that seemed to look down on me, but he didn’t give a damn about every word of that tone.
I would rather quit my job than get caught up in the pressure of a place like this.
“Okay. Well, I’ll listen to the story.”
I slowly raised my head.
The fate of the Lunarien army rested on my shoulders.
Now it was my turn to play with my tongue.
Let’s not be scared.
It’s okay. Because I have a brain with 100% intelligence.
“I would like to make you a sweet offer that you can never refuse.”
“Huh? That’s a sweet offer. I’m interested. What is it?”
As if I were a salesman selling an opportunity that would never come again –
With a shameless smile, he spoke in the most confident manner possible.
“I will give you 1300 gold. Please sign an armistice agreement with our military.”
