Episode 388. The Belgrade War (3)

There was good reason for the families to panic at Aaron Schmidt’s one word.

as soon as.

‘No, that’s not good.’

‘… I might see blood.’

This was because the path Aaron took as he took the western part of Belgrade was worthy of being called a ‘bloody road’.

If he saw even the slightest sign of resistance, he would thoroughly destroy that family and scatter them along the path he was to take.

Aaron Schmidt, who has embraced only those who perfectly follow their tails into his power.

If he had shown just a little mercy, there would be several times as many people sitting in this conference room as there are now.

Although this was a somewhat drastic approach, Aaron’s decisive actions allowed him to take over the western part of Belgrade in just four months.

And the heads of the household who had witnessed the bloody process up close could not help but react more sensitively to Aaron’s feelings than anyone else.

Aaron’s eyebrows twitched as the other family members just looked at him and didn’t open their mouths easily.

“It seems like you have nothing to say to me.”

The man sitting close to Aaron opened his mouth at the faint hint of murder in his voice.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Their unity was much faster than we expected… … .”

If all had gone according to plan, Schmidt’s coalition should have already advanced to the east of the river.

However, their advance was blocked when Uli Giclee quickly gathered a coalition and established a front line on the east side of the river.

Even among the so-called three, four, and five powers of Belgrade, two of the three powers and three of the weakest were members of the Giclee Union.

Considering that one of the first families, the Singh family, is silent, in fact, the real powers of Belgrade are concentrated on the other side.

While the Schmidt Union was bewildered by their faster-than-expected response, the Giclee Union even hired mercenaries to further solidify their front line.

This is why Aaron Schmidt was feeling uneasy.

The first person to speak up added an excuse.

“There’s something strange about this. The two and three powers, known for their arrogance, are uniting so quickly!”

“That’s right! I can’t help but think that someone else helped them.”

Someone else.

Although no one said it properly, everyone knew who it was.

“Someone else… Are you talking about the Sing family?”

Several people nodded their heads at Aaron’s question.

“Yes! Maybe they moved!”

“If it’s the advice of the Sing family, even those two arrogant families will have no choice but to bow their heads and follow it.”

The Sing family was a high-level, prestigious family that, even if you searched the entire continent, there were only a dozen families that could match its history and power.

They are called the Three Powers of Belgrade and are grouped together by the same name, but the gap between them and the other two families was like that between an adult and a child.

It was quite possible that the Sing family was involved in the rapid construction of the Eastern Alliance.

That’s how powerful their influence was in Belgrade.

But surprisingly, only the relatively young heads of households sympathized with this atmosphere.

The older heads of households kept their mouths shut and showed negative expressions.

Even Aaron nodded his head to the public opinion of the young heads of household.

“That can’t be true.”

“yes?”

“The Sing family never moves. They are excluded from all plans and variables.”

“Huh?! But… … .”

Aaron smiled bitterly at the sight of the heads of households who were not easily convinced.

“They are just smart idiots.”

“yes?”

“Countless wars have occurred throughout the continent’s long history. How many of the names of the Xing family do you think are recorded in the history books of those battles?”

“Well… of course there wouldn’t be a lot, right?”

Geniuses who are called the wise men of silver and are active in numerous fields.

It goes without saying that tactics and strategy are included in that field of activity.

Therefore, the people who were always mentioned as the first priority for recruitment for the position of military instructor were the talented people of the Sing family.

So, it was quite likely that the name of the Sing family would be mentioned countless times in the history books of war.

But Aaron firmly shook his head.

“None.”

“… … ?!”

“Those smart idiots never get involved in a war. That way they can survive.”

“What is that… … .”

“When war breaks out, isn’t the first thing you aim for the enemy’s head?”

“ah!”

Only then did the audience nod their heads as if they understood.

The Singh family, which has been considered a military powerhouse in any era.

If only they had intervened in the war every time.

And if countless hostile forces had targeted the Singh family at that time, the Singh family might not exist today.

“So, the Singh family should be excluded from all plans. They are the authors who have never been involved in any war, not in the past, not now, and not in the future.”

“Ah! Yes, I understand!”

Aaron, who had briefly summarized the situation, looked around the room and asked.

“So how long do you plan on letting it go?”

“hmm…….”

“Uh-huh… … .”

As the conversation returned to the main topic, murmurs could be heard here and there.

That was when.

“I have a plan.”

A woman in her fifties sitting at the far end of the table opened her mouth.

Feeling that eyes were on her, she continued speaking.

“Right now, their attention is focused on where Aaron is.”

“Phehe, am I really the one they’re focused on?”

“… … .”

“No way. They’re probably afraid and on guard because they don’t know when he’ll jump out of that mountain.”

When no one could refute his words, Aaron snickered and waved his hand.

“Okay, so what’s the plan?”

“We’re after those guys.”

“back?”

“Once their attention is focused here, we will send our elite troops to the central mountain range. Then, they will have no choice but to focus even more on us. They are afraid of the mountain army… and are wary of him, so they will be keeping a close eye on the intentions of the troops heading to the central mountain range.”

At her words, a subtle light passed over Aaron’s face and disappeared.

But that only lasts for a moment.

Aaron asked, his subtle expression disappearing in an instant.

“…so?”

“After this, our main force will move as if we were going to fight an all-out war to confuse them, while the elite forces will move south along the central mountain range and approach their rear through the Dale River.”

“That would take quite some time.”

“It may take some time, but if we succeed, we will not only cut off their supply chain, but we will also be able to stab them in the back.”

“hmm…….”

Aaron thought for a moment.

It sounded like a pretty good plan to him.

If successful, it would not only be able to turn the tense atmosphere on the front lines upside down, but it could also be a way to end the war altogether.

“What do you guys think?”

The crowd chattered among themselves for a moment in response to Aaron’s question, then gave an answer.

“I think it’s okay.”

“Good operation.”

Since most of them said similar things, Aaron quickly jumped to conclusion.

“Good. You, who planned this operation, will take responsibility for it and make it a success. If it is successful, I will give you a great reward.”

“yes!”

The middle-aged woman answered Aaron’s command confidently.

***

Belgrade Giclee Union, mercenary barracks site.

A huge commotion broke out in that place that had been peaceful until recently.

“Ouch, ugh!”

“Ugh!”

There were screams and people were flying into the air.

A cheerful sound was heard at the same time.

Bam-!

Every time the sound of something breaking rang out, someone would inevitably jump upward.

“Oh, don’t come!”

“I, I didn’t say anything! That kid said the most!”

“Me neither!”

Those who were desperately making excuses and backing away, terrified, were none other than the mercenaries who had surrounded Yuri’s group and started a quarrel.

And, as expected, it was Gunther who was sending those mercenaries flying into the air.

Bam-!

“Kkung!”

Yuri briefly exclaimed in admiration as he saw the mercenary being hit by Gunther’s sword and thrown back, spinning around in the air about five times.

“What a clear and beautiful sound.”

Odok odok-.

The atmosphere in which he lay down and chewed on dried food was very calm, unlike the chaotic situation around him.

And it wasn’t just Yuri who was at peace.

Knock!

“It went in again!”

Arin and Yuri open their mouths from a distance and throw dry food into them, making them giggle.

“hungry!”

Popina snatches the dried food from her hand and eats it.

It seemed like no one was interested in what Gunther was doing.

So much time has passed.

Baaaak-! Baaaak-!

“Ugh! Why… why only me… two… … !”

“I am not… a runaway master.”

“… … ?”

The surrounding area was cleared up with the mercenary who had been hit twice alone passing out with a look of ignorance on his face.

After that, silence returned.

No, an even more silent silence fell over the mercenary army grounds than before the mercenaries who had been causing trouble had appeared.

And only then did Yuri get up and say, brushing off the dirt.

“Well, now that we’ve seen everything, it’s time to pay for it, right?”

As she said that, Yuri looked around.

A large number of mercenaries came rushing in after hearing the commotion they had caused.

Among them, huddled together between the barracks, Yuri picked out a few.

“There’s that cross-eyed lady, and that guy with the three-braided beard behind him, and that bald guy over there, and oh, and that guy with the split mouth over there! If you enjoyed the show, shouldn’t you pay the bill?”

The four people’s eyes widened when Yuri pointed out herself among the numerous mercenaries.

And soon after, exclamations of admiration began to flow among them.

“I was wondering why some stinking little brats came to show off, but it seems they weren’t.”

“This time, some pretty useful guys came in.”

“Is it worth using? If that’s worth using, then our mercenary group is just trash that needs to be thrown away.”

“Hmph!”

As the three men were whispering amongst themselves, a one-eyed middle-aged woman asked Yuri.

“Yeah, I guess I’ll have to pay for what I saw. What do you want?”

There was a look of interest in her single eye as she asked that question.

Yuri answered with a smirk at the look in her eyes as if she was taking a test.

“information.”

The corners of the middle-aged woman’s mouth rose at Yuri’s words.

“Follow me.”

She entered the nearby large barracks first.

Not only her, but the three other grumbling men also followed the woman into the barracks.

Arin, Gunther, and Poppy, who saw that, gathered around Yuri.

“What, what?”

“hungry?”

“Do you know him?”

Yuri answered the questions that poured in one after another in a dull voice.

“I don’t know, I just saw it for the first time today.”

“Really? Then who are those people?”

“The most eloquent generals here.”

“… … ?!”

When her surprised friends looked at her, asking how she knew that, Yuri snickered and answered.

“You can tell just by looking at it, right?”

Yuri answered like that and quickly walked into the barracks.

***

Five people sat around a large table.

Yuri looked around at the people in front of her.

‘The three men are certified 4th Dan, similar to Gunther. The strongest one is… ‘

Yuri’s gaze fell on the cross-eyed woman.

‘That woman.’

Her level, as determined by Yuri, is that of a certified 5th Dan.

It was also in a state of full ripeness.

Perhaps, if given the chance, he could easily surpass the official 6th dan.

‘At this level, they would be leading at least a medium to large mercenary group.’

While Yuri was making her estimate, the bald man looked at Yuri and his friends standing behind him and asked.

“Okay, where do you belong?”

“This is the Sowol Mercenary Corps.”

The mercenaries furrowed their brows at Gunther’s answer.

“Sowol Mercenary Corps?”

“Hmm, was there such a mercenary group?”

“At least this is a mercenary group I’ve never heard of before in Belgrade.”

As the men muttered among themselves, the woman with the lonely face asked with a confident tone.

“Did you want to play mercenary to commemorate graduating from the cradle?”

Her remarks caused quite a stir in the barracks.

“Hey, Cradle?! Those guys are from Cradle?”

“Huh! Well, to have that level of skill at that age… … .”

“Tsk, I guess I lost my senses. Of course I should have thought of that first.”

The mercenary men were stirred by the words, “He came from the cradle.”

“hmm?”

“uh?”

“hungry?”

The Sowol mercenary group members opened their eyes wide at the insight of the woman who immediately saw through their identities.

step.

‘Huh?’

Except for glass.

He stared intently into the one-eyed woman’s eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

‘Look at this? Things are going to work out better than expected.’
