Game Mind of a Medieval Modern Person - Chapter 168



Only Noblemtl

168. Consultation with the kind bishop The leader of the pagans who swept through the Duchy of Penrad, Ariava the Four-Wielder, has died.

This rumor quickly spread to every corner of the country through the mouths of the surviving refugees.

Most people were very happy to hear this news.

“The pagan bastard is dead?”

“After all that sleuthing, it looks like you’ve finally found your master.”

Those who had packed all their belongings and fled, and those who were worried about whether they should pack their bags, all applauded and smiled brightly for the first time in a while.

The church bell tower also rang its bells without stopping to announce the news of victory, which had not been heard for a long time.

However, not all believers who served the Star of Inse welcomed this news of victory.

Some people accepted the victory with a serious attitude, their faces hardened.

Representative examples include Prince Penrad, who was pathologically wary of Yuvas, and Yuvas who was waiting for an opportunity.

Although the two men received the news of victory through different routes, they had the same thoughts.

”I got hit!”

Prince Penrad and Kardal were so busy keeping each other in check that they missed the most important part.

The biggest issue in this battle for dominance was who would fight against Ariaba and win.

Bishop Powis of Narva then suggested a rather plausible method, which made the two think about the future.

When the battle took place on the plain called the Sighs of Saint Illenius, they were worried about how to advance in battle so that they could achieve more feats than their opponents.

So I let my guard down.

Even after hearing the news that Terveer had deserted with his fellow knights, he responded complacently.

How could they possibly catch Ariaba, who was leading an estimated 2,000 people with only about 100 men?

Even when the bishop of Narva pursued Terveer for desertion and summoned him, he would laugh at him.

Both Prince Penrad, who was living in his own way, and Kardal, who was wary of Narva, were like that.

“Hahaha, Bishop Powis. You may be good at trickery, but your tolerance is a bit lacking. Perhaps you still need experience and maturity?”

“We, Yubas, are also familiar with Terveer’s dance. After the bishop, I hope that there will be an article that can be of great use at a time when it is most needed.”

Prince Penrad and Kardal mock and ridicule the mistake as if they had been waiting for it.

Bishop Narva lightly accepted all these gazes and lowered his head with an awkward smile as if he felt ashamed.

“I’m sorry to the two of you who made such an important decision.”

I thought those were the words of a person in charge who turned a blind eye to a mistake right before his eyes.

But now that I heard the news, I could see that what Narva had said at that time had a completely different meaning.

widely!

Kardal Orn Yuvas slapped the map he had placed on the table with the back of his hand.

He rolled his eyes around wildly, not knowing where to look.

‘You’re passing the buck and making me take responsibility, while giving all the credit to my brother!’

In this case, we can’t call in Terveer, who has already studied all of his majors on his own, and put strong pressure on him.

Because one cannot avoid the question of what brilliant strategy was used to keep thousands of soldiers still while Terveer bravely charged forward with his knights.

If you can’t control your anger and rush to Terve, your already precarious position will become even more precarious.

It was difficult to avoid criticism such as, “Why couldn’t you do it with so many more troops than Terve?”

It was clear what Bishop Narva was planning.

‘Now that I look at it, it wasn’t a pursuit force, it was a reinforcement force. Bishop, is that how they came out?’

Someone tipped off Terveer about the plan to use refugees as bait.

This is a possible trick because it was predicted that Terveer, a knight with a strong sense of empathy and a pursuit of honor, would willingly take action.

And now, in the Duchy of Penrad, there was only one person who knew Terveer best.

Narva after the bishopric.

It wasn’t just Kardal who started gnashing his teeth at that name.

“Hmm. If you had any clever idea, you could have just shared it with me.”

Parthos Orn Phenolium Penrad.

He spoke in a calm tone as he sat at the table enjoying breakfast, but the movements of his hands as he tore the bread were gradually becoming more violent.

“Even if the situation was chaotic and urgent, shouldn’t you have asked for my understanding first, as I have the clear authority to command?”

“…”

The servants and attendants had to stay at the table, sweating profusely at the discomfort of their master.

It’s a soliloquy, but it’s not a soliloquy.

If you try to sneak out here because the atmosphere is tense, you could end up in bigger trouble.

But Prince Penrad was not an employer who would let his servants sit idle.

He was just tearing the bread into pieces, and he carefully turned his gaze and picked up the glass of wine with his bread-crumbed hands.

And then he lifted the glass upside down in one gulp.

“Tsk.”

He spilled all the wine in the glass on the floor.

“Your bread is dry, and you bring no wine to quench your thirst.”

“I, I’ll get it.”

“Bring a whip too.”

Prince Penrad’s eyes were filled with annoyance as he looked around at his servants.

“In exchange for the starlight of my life, I will lead the lazy and indolent with sincerity and diligence.”

-It wasn’t long before Prince Penrad and Kardal’s worries became reality.

The moment Bishop Narva returned with Terveer and his troops, people ran out of every alley, raised their arms and shouted.

“Long live the honorable knight Sir Tervere!”

“There is no sin on the part of Sir Tervere!”

“Your Majesty, please spare the knight Nari who has come forth to protect the people!”

Everyone in Phenolium was about to jump out.

Even when the alley was full, he went into a nearby house, leaned out the window, and waved.

Voices of earnest pleading came from all directions.

As a result, Narva, who was leading the returning troops, was faced with an unimaginable sight.

“Please do not punish Sir Terveer!”

A crowd of citizens formed and blocked the path of the returning troops.

Panicked Phenolium guards rushed out and tried to control the crowd, but to no avail.

“Why are you acting like this when you know that blocking the military is a felony?”

“Okay, elders. Let’s go in…”

The number of people who gathered was unusual.

If you had carelessly thrust a sword into the target, you could have faced a backlash.

Moreover, the guards of Phenolium also believed that Tervere was innocent and did not oppress him any further.

As a result, the feeble persuasion ended up adding fuel to the fire.

“I will not back down until His Eminence the Bishop acknowledges that Sir Tervere is innocent!”

“Who is guilty? Among the thousands of soldiers who slaughtered the citizens in front of the pagans and the knights who came back after defeating the pagans, who on earth is guilty?”

The burning public opinion and uproar were only suppressed when Prince Penrad and Kardal each sent their own armies.

“Step back! Those who do not step back will be severely punished!”

“The trial will be fair!”

When a well-armed army formed up and displayed their numbers and swords, the angry mob had no choice but to retreat.

However, it was clear as day that if Terveer was sentenced to punishment, public sentiment would turn against him.

Terveer, who was actually the root of the problem, was shedding tears at the sight of the enthusiastic crowd of Phenolium.

“I committed this act knowing full well that it would bring me dishonor, and yet you are defending me like this…!”

It was Terveer who had been accused of desertion and had lost his warhorse, so he had no choice but to walk beside Narva like a sledgehammer.

This appearance seemed to have already condemned him, which further provoked the crowd.

Narva looked down at Terveer, who was shedding tears of emotion, and smiled.

“Originally, it would be right to handle it according to military law.”

His gaze slowly turned to the scuffle between the soldiers and the angry crowd.

“There are so many voices pleading for leniency, so we cannot simply ignore them.”

And I headed towards the inner castle that stood tall beyond the houses lined up in every alley.

Naturally, the trial could not proceed under these circumstances.

Prince Penrad and Kardal were blatantly uncomfortable, but they made rational decisions.

As soon as Terveer entered the inner city, the heralds used extremely vague and ambiguous language towards the gathered crowd, who were now noisy.

“Dear citizens of Phenolium. The impulsive actions of Knight Terveer and his colleagues will be carefully considered in light of the urgency of the situation and his accomplishments…”

Those who were ready to beat the herald at any moment looked at each other and tilted their heads.

“therefore…”

“What the hell is that? If he’s innocent, he’s innocent, and if he’s guilty, he’s guilty.”

“It’s so frustrating!”

Meanwhile, a fierce debate began in Naeseong.

***

A round table with a map in the center and people facing each other.

Prince Penrad and Kardal were glaring at their opponents with fierce eyes.

The opponent is not Terveer who caused the problem.

Narva after the bishopric.

A man who had just taken off his black, shabby T-shirt was facing the two people with a sly smile.

The first to open the gate was Prince Penrad.

“How disappointing, Your Holiness. I never thought you would do such a petty thing just to pursue your major.”

“majesty.”

“Bishop, I know you were young and energetic, but what would have happened if things had gone wrong and you had lost to them?”

Prince Penrad stroked his waist and asked a sharp question.

“Do you think you can still sit there and smile like that?”

“Your Majesty, it seems there has been a misunderstanding.”

“misunderstanding?”

And Narva, the mastermind behind Terveer’s forcing of his major into him, was not easily taken advantage of.

“Your Majesty, do you not know why the Church is hostile to Yuvas?”

“…?”

“If we had really fought at the sigh of Saint Ilenius, would the blood of that Jubas have been responsible to Your Majesty and followed your orders?”

“You’re still trying to sow discord here… You’re quite the person.”

Kardal showed signs of disgust at that sly tongue play.

But there was something Kardal did that earned him the trust of Prince Penrad.

Narva did not miss the sight of Prince Penrad, who was glaring at Kardal with suspicious eyes.

“Your Majesty, please remember what the blood of the Yuvass planned. Have you forgotten what misfortune would have befallen you if Sir Tervere and I had not stayed awake that night to guard you?”

“Bishop. The point is that you have set a goal to monopolize the major.”

“Even though Your Majesty had acquired five thousand soldiers, if the expeditionary force of Yubas had refused to follow Your Majesty’s orders at a critical moment and had conspired with those heretics, or even worse, had waited until Your Majesty was in danger, what trouble would have happened?”

“After the bishop!!!”

Narva raised his palms and shrugged his shoulders.

Unfortunately for Kardal, Narva’s words were more than enough to shake the indecisive Prince Penrad.

Prince Penrad looked back and forth between Narva and Kardal, then quickly got up.

“…Wait a minute. Give me a moment to think about it.”

“Your Majesty! The one who has now broken the covenant is the Bishop!”

“You should go back as well. As your highness, I have things to think about.”

With those words, Prince Penrad left without any regrets.

Bam.

A sound that could be the result of blood rushing to his head or teeth gnashing filled Kardal’s head.

When Kardal turned his head in anger, Narva was calmly making the sign of the cross.

“This is the power of the church. Bringing enlightenment to the person through calm counseling.”

“…It’s very church-like to promote such collusion.”

“how is it?”

Narva, who had given Sungho a raise, immediately clasped his hands together and smiled.

“It looks to me like you want to get some advice right now, Kardal.”
