I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel - I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel chapter 116

“… … Tsk, it looks like it’s running amok.”

Lyard with a small tongue.

“Even the Viscount wouldn’t want to miss that red wolf. If you set up an extraordinary operation like this one… … .”

“Yes, the Empire must be tired in many ways. Rather, hurry up and move your seat. It’s rare to see a Fifth Circle mage run rampant.”

“hahahaha, that’s right too.”

Seeing Ryard and Lebark leave their seats like that, the knight who had been reporting until recently got up slowly and put on a dazed expression.

“Wait, was this situation all planned?”

No one answered his murmur.

* * *

Meanwhile, Ryard and Lebaque went up to the wooden watchtower. The two burst into laughter as they watched the retreating allies.

Unseen rock formations spread across the plain, and the retreating allied forces were soon swallowed up by a huge wave of flame.

When it was discovered that Viscount Arden was attacking the allied forces, the morale of the Imperial Army began to skyrocket.

“really… … Maybe we can get our borders back.”

“I think we should be a little more cautious about that. Even though the guys in the forest have retreated, you don’t know when they will attack this plain again.”

“Hmm, what do you think about attacking the Kingdom of Spert using the allied forces?”

At Ryard’s question, Lebaque lowered his gaze slightly and touched his chin.

“that… … I don’t think it’s a bad way. But I don’t know what they did there… … . And if you deploy your troops in the woods and launch an ambush, it can be a headache in many ways. Conversely, it may be disturbed.”

“surely… … That’s it too. I’m anxious to use it, and I can’t leave it alone… … It might be better to block off the area completely. With those magics Viscount Ardennes uses.”

Ryard pointed forward with his finger.

There were rocks rising from the ground in that direction.

“… … How can you change the terrain of the battlefield like that? Magic is truly a mysterious power.”

“Yes, I think so too.”

The allied forces were terrified by one 5th Circle wizard.

The nation’s best power that turns the war situation upside down in an instant.

The sword master’s monstrous sword attack of splitting a huge rock in half was amazing, but the magic performed by the high-ranking wizards was truly awe-inspiring.

Maybe 2-3 minutes passed like that?

A little while ago, the young knight who had been reporting came to Ryard again.

“My Highness, I just received a call from Viscount Arden.”

“Hmm?”

“A while ago, I was told that I had taken care of a man who was presumed to be Count Caltron H Yurumus… … .”

The warlord who created the undefeated myth of 100 battles 100 wins, Caltron H Jurumus. Having made a name for himself as a red wolf and causing fear on the battlefield, he was defeated by a young wizard who was only 14 years old.

Laird burst into laughter at the knight’s report.

“Huh, Earl Jurumus was one of the most vigilant people in the world, and I thought he would die in vain like this. This isn’t about winning the title.”

“… … I mean.”

“Ah, come to think of it, let’s also talk about the victorious title of Lord.”

“yes? no. I am… … .”

At the sudden remark, Lebak waved his hand with a surprised expression.

The contributor to this war was, to be sure, Viscount Kayneth L. Ardennes.

but… … .

“Your hard work has been heard in many ways even at the center. And in this war, thanks to your command, the damage to our allies was reduced to a minimum. It would be too much of a waste to leave an armed man with a lot of combat experience like Sir as a baron.”

“The word alone is an infinite honor. but… … .”

“It is my heart that I want to keep talented people like you in the Empire.”

“… … thank you.”

Is it because of Lyard’s serious appearance? Lebaque stiffened and lowered his head quietly.

“As long as I remain on this battlefield, the next two months will be all I need. We’ll have to go back to center in the new year. so… … I ask for the well-being of this empire in the future as well.”

“I will defend the empire until the end of my life. and… … .”

Remembrance.

Lebac, kneeling on the floor and bowing his head.

“It would be the greatest honor of the Eild family to serve His Highness the Prince.”

A subordinate who swears allegiance and a lord who trusts in him.

From noble mtl dot com

The moment when there was such a serious atmosphere.

Tuquaang-!

The atmosphere collapsed in an instant due to the huge explosion that occurred on the battlefield.

“Whoa… … . You don’t hold back.”

Ryard shook his head.

The plain, which had been filled with blue light until yesterday, was burning red and spewing black smoke into the sky.

Keynes, who turned part of the plain into ashes.

Should we applaud him? Or should I criticize?

If the environment of the Internet had existed here, there might have been issues raised about the careless destruction of nature.

Of course, the destruction of nature in a wartime situation is unavoidable.

“First, get the soldiers back. Because you never know when the guys from the forest will come back.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Let Lebark give orders to his men to retreat.

Doo-woong! Doo-woong! Doo-woong!

When the huge drum sounded three times, the Imperial forces pursuing the allies stopped.

The Empire’s soldiers began to retreat so quietly.

And as soon as Keynes heard the sound of drums, he looked down at the corpse presumed to be Earl Jurumus.

After a while, the female knight approached Keynes.

“… … Is this really the red wolf?”

The corpse of Count Jurumus was scorched black, making it difficult to properly recognize its shape. The only thing that can confirm his existence is the red armor.

Kayneth lowered his posture at the female knight’s question and began to search his body.

And is it thanks to what was hidden inside the armor? An object believed to be a subspace pouch was held in Kayneth’s right hand.

“I’ll have to go back and check the inside. First, retrieve the corpse.”

“All right.”

Upon receiving the instruction, the female knight immediately puts it in her subspace pouch… … No, the corpse of an enemy general was recovered.

“… … It’s okay now.”

When was it? Being insensitive to the death of others.

something a little… … . Yeah, I felt a little broken.

“Whoa… … .”

Kayneth sighed, climbed into the saddle, and left.

* * *

After recovering the corpse of the enemy general, Earl Jurumus, I immediately returned to the imperial camp.

Two days… … No, to be precise, it should be called a return in three days.

And Her Highness Ryard and Lebark welcomed my return.

In particular, Lyard’s face was as bright as a flower in full bloom.

“Nice to come back. It was great!”

“It is overrated. More than that… … .”

I called the female knight standing behind.

She took out a corpse presumed to be Count Jurumus from her subspace pouch and showed it.

At that, His Highness and Levach’s expressions hardened seriously.

“Please confirm that the owner of this corpse belongs to Count Caltron H Yurumus. And this is the subspace pouch found inside the armor. There is also a possibility that the Count set up an agent and sent it to the battlefield… … .”

“Huh, the Viscount is really cautious.”

Lebaque smiled bitterly and looked down at the charred corpse of the red armor.

On the other hand, His Highness Ryard nodded once with a serious expression.

“Yes, as the viscount said, if it was the red wolf, we should think about the possibility that he had an agent. Let’s check right away.”

“Please.”

Although he showed such a cautious appearance, as a result, the owner of the corpse was revealed to be Count Jurumus.

And the reaction of the Allies also seemed to convince the Empire of verification.

After experiencing defeat, the allied forces took troops from the plains in just three days. It seems that the troops that moved in the Forest of Ren also returned to Spert Kingdom.

“Ha, it seems that the first war has ended safely. I honestly never thought it would end in one day… … .”

“Didn’t you make a great achievement in that first war? No way, that red wolf, who is said to be a warrior of 100 victories… … .”

“hahahaha… … . I still feel a bit strange.”

I scratched my head with a puzzled expression.

Only Her Highness Lyard and I were left in the commander’s office.

Because of this, my tone was slightly friendly, and His Highness Lyard also put down his solemn tone.

“I heard from the knights who were with you. You said you defeated thousands of enemies in the woods alone? Including the battle on the plain, it’s like defeating close to 4-5 thousand enemy soldiers alone… … . Reaching the 5th circle at the age of 14 wasn’t enough, defeating 4-5 thousand enemies alone… … . Really, I don’t know what to say.”

The Highness trembled as if she was exhausted.

“Would it be better than that? Sooner or later, the fact that you are the Fifth Circle will spread throughout the country.”

“Well, that’s what I expected from the beginning anyway.”

“… … It’s to get the church’s information, but there will be many nobles in Korea who will be wary of you. If a child as young as 14 reached the 5th circle, in the future the 6th circle… … No, because you think you might be able to reach the level of the 7th circle.”

Yeah, that part concerned me too. That’s why when I reached the 6th circle, or when I entered the 7th circle, I didn’t reveal it to anyone other than my sister.

“Even though you’re close to me… … The imperial family is watching you with a wary eye. First of all, he is the third son of the Spay One family.”

“I guess so.”

Despite belonging to the imperial faction due to their wealth, the Speywon family is under the emperor’s guard.

If, by any chance, the Spey One family were to go over to the aristocratic faction, it would be like a natural disaster for the imperial faction.

As much as that, the wealth of the Spey One family was so threatening.

however… … The Spey One family produced a great wizard?

“It will be difficult to destroy the Spey One family… … People who want to get rid of you may appear.”

“I was willing to take that risk.”

At my determined answer, His Majesty Ryard let out a long sigh.

“Yes, if you are… … . The later academy students will hate you so much.”

“yes? what is that… … .”

What kind of nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?

“Because of you, there are more parts to memorize in ‘History of Empire’. Surely the death of the Red Wolf will be recorded in history as well?”

I smiled awkwardly at His Highness’ remark.

“At least it’s just a few sentences.”

“Yes, it would be nice if it ended with those few sentences. but… … .”

When Her Highness trailed off, I smiled and nodded.

“Yes, we must hurry up and get our borders back.”

Chapter 112

112. Harperus War (8)

“Whoa… … . Yeah, we should get our borders back. But what about the road in the woods? You said you blocked it, but it’s only about tens of meters.”

“I think we have no choice but to place soldiers near it now. Even the allied forces won’t try to use that route for a while.”

The Highness nodded once.

“Well, that would be it.”

“And even if you make another road right now… … It will take some time. So I think we can keep the enemy in check just by placing soldiers near the corner of the road.”

“Well, in order to move a large cavalry unit, it would be impossible unless you use the road there… … . Rather, can you really recapture the border?”

A huge fort was built along the border. Obviously, a battle close to a siege will take place.

It means that it will be a difficult war in many ways for the Imperial Army.

but… … .

“In the current imperial army, there are wizards of the 5th circle comparable to large siege weapons. It has been confirmed that there is no one equal to me in the allied forces currently deployed at the border fortress. so… … Let’s build a new fort at this time.”

“This child… … . Are you planning on destroying the fort?! Where do you think that budget comes from!”

“I heard that numerous corruption and embezzlement are taking place in the imperial castle. So if you seize property from those involved, maybe one fortress… … .”

“Would that be that easy?”

“ha ha ha… … .”

Certainly, in this era, it would be difficult to catch the crimes of embezzlement and corruption one by one. Financial documents are also written by human hands.

Furthermore, if there is a collaborator in the search process, the investigation collapses in an instant, Marira.

“Then I will pay for it.”

“it’s okay! Because that’s what I just said. With the royal finances, it is possible to build thousands of fortresses. If you think it’s really difficult, you can ask the Spey One family. Thousands of fortresses… … No, because they say you can build tens of thousands.”

Lyard speaks in a playful tone.

I couldn’t help but show an awkward smile.

“Anyway, after discussing with the adjutant, let’s move slowly. Because now, when we are confused by the death of the red wolf, is like an opportunity.”

“yes.”

As soon as His Majesty Ryard became commander, Levak was pushed out as an adjutant. He was summoned to the commander’s office and was told of future plans.

And for a moment, he frowned as if he was in deep thought.

“… … Are you saying you can really take down the fortress?”

Lebak looked at me and asked a question.

“Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely destroy the border fortifications.”

A round-shaped fortress with a diameter of 300m. There are five towers inside it.

It wouldn’t be easy to destroy such a huge fortress with just the 5th circle. I don’t know if the opponent doesn’t counterattack.
