Login Psychopath - Chapter 107



Only Noblemtl

Episode 107.

A soldier lying down and groaning.

“uh?”

“… … ?”

At this, the rest of the soldiers froze.

That’s understandable, because it was so sudden.

The atmosphere was definitely good before I left the territory, so why all of a sudden?

There’s a mere adventurer beating up the lord’s soldiers.

‘… Are you crazy?!’

The soldiers knew that Isin had accumulated quite a lot of merit, but even taking that into account, this was still crazy.

In principle, all soldiers in a territory are the property of the lord.

They are required to wear military uniforms with the family symbol on them and to be loyal only to the lord’s orders.

But you’re beating up the lord’s soldiers without permission?

From the lord’s point of view, it was not at all strange to interpret that the other party was challenging his authority.

In other words, if he had just returned and the soldiers had reported him, then this would have been the end for him.

Punishment was inevitable, and in the worst case scenario, you could be banned from ever setting foot on the territory again by normal means.

Everything you’ve built up so far will fly away.

“…What the heck is this!!”

The first soldier to come to his senses shouted.

Lee Shin responded calmly.

“what.”

“What the… Didn’t you just hit me!”

“Well, you have to beat him up a bit so he looks like a real prisoner.”

“What nonsense are you talking about… No, that’s enough.”

[The intimacy of the soldiers has become negative.]

[The soldiers refuse orders.]

“Is it okay?”

“Yes, no need for explanation. I will just report this to the Lord.”

At Yishin’s words, the soldier frowned, helped up his fallen comrade, and then turned around.

It feels like I’ll be returning to the territory at any moment!

The ones who stopped them were the knights brought by Isin.

“…what?”

“… … .”

“You cheeky bastard… If you don’t back off right now, I’ll cut you down and pass by!”

When some thugs stopped them, the soldiers shouted in amusement.

No matter how strong the gangsters were, they were no match for soldiers who had received proper military training.

Of course, in reality they were knights, not thugs, but the soldiers had no way of knowing that.

“… … .”

The knights, hearing the soldiers’ shouts, turned their gazes toward Isin.

Lee Shin nodded.

“Let go moderately.”

“How much is that?”

“The conversation is conducive to communication.”

“…All right.”

It meant to be done just until you’re about to die.

And the soldiers tilted their heads at the answers of these gods and knights.

What the heck is this conversation?

“… … ?”

“What on earth are you talking about…?”

I soon learned the meaning myself.

The knights who received orders from Isin began to beat the soldiers brutally.

Thud! Thud thud thud!!

“Ugh!?!?”

“Kwaaak!”

“… Huh!? No, are these guys crazy?! If we don’t stop right now… .”

Bam!!

“…Kuaaaaak!”

“This crazy…?! Just attack!”

The soldiers, realizing that they could not communicate with their opponents, took up their swords without hesitation.

Since you didn’t listen even though I clearly warned you, I’m just going to cut you down and let you pass!

“… … ?”

“hmm?”

… but soon after, you realize that something is strange.

The opponent was too strong.

It’s strange for a gangster to say that.

“… What, what is it!”

An attack that doesn’t match at all!

Even though I swung it with the intention of killing, it split the black air.

Even in the midst of all this, the opponent’s attacks were completely unavoidable.

Only then did the soldiers realize that their opponents were no ordinary thugs.

Although their exact identity was unknown, it was clear that they were at least not at a level they could deal with.

As soon as they realized that, the soldiers immediately changed their route.

“Okay, wait a minute!”

“… … ?”

Because I felt like I was really going to die if I kept getting beaten like that.

The soldiers waved their hands anxiously and shouted.

“Talk! Let’s talk!”

“……conversation?”

“Yeah! Conversation!”

The knights turned to look at Isin at the shouts of the soldiers.

An expression that asks, ‘What should I do?’

If it were normal, Ishindo would have just called it a day and ended it here… .

‘You have to do it properly when you do it.’

Not this time.

Especially for NPCs with strong spirits, like soldiers, you need to break their spirits in advance to avoid any trouble later.

Since it wouldn’t be strange if he rebelled again at any time if he did it moderately and ended it, Ishin decided to finish it off while he was already drawing his sword.

“What are you doing? Keep going.”

“… … !”

“Don’t stop until I tell you to stop.”

* * *

10 minutes later.

Thud! Thud thud!

A bloody, savage beating sound.

And then comes the wailing of soldiers, who now seem to have gathered in large numbers.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

“Stop, please stop!”

“If this continues, I’ll really die…!”

Isin turned his head.

At first, the soldiers seemed to be trying to hold out, perhaps out of pride, but there was no way ordinary soldiers could do that.

‘No way.’

In the end, pride and everything else was powerless in the face of overwhelming violence.

The soldiers soon began to plead with Isin, shedding tears and snot.

Please stop.

but.

“What? I can’t hear you very well.”

“I’ll do anything!”

“What? I can’t hear you very well.”

“What…! I’ll do whatever you say!”

“What? I can’t hear you very well.”

Even though Lee Shin heard everything clearly, he pretended not to hear and covered his ears.

The implications were clear.

Come on, bow your head even more and show me the back of your head!

“You did… Huh?”

“… … !”

It was a humiliating demand that threw away pride, but for the soldiers who felt their lives were in danger, pride and everything else was no longer important.

“Ha, I will do it.”

The soldiers hurriedly changed their words.

You have to live first!

“What? I can’t hear you very well….”

“I will do it!!”

“… … Please!! Give us a chance to become Arthur’s captive!!!”

[Completely subdued the soldiers.]

[Notoriety increases.]

[Be careful! If Count Killim were to learn of this, he would be extremely angry.]

[All public service points will be recovered, and in the worst case scenario, you may be executed.]

The declaration of defeat was finally accepted!

Lee Shin smiled brightly.

“Okay. I can hear you better now.”

Yishin released his arms and pushed the knights away.

The soldiers raised their heads cautiously.

“Are you going to spare my life?”

“Because I saw what you were doing.”

“… … .”

“No answer?”

“……omg!”

“Well, I’ll do whatever you tell me to do!!”

[Your threats cause the soldiers to panic!]

[The soldiers now obey your orders unconditionally.]

The soldiers trembled and fell to the ground at Yishin’s casual remark.

What a huge overreaction!

This was a passage that showed how much the soldiers feared Isin.

‘Good.’

It was a good thing for Lee Shin.

If you instill fear in them so thoroughly, they will never rebel, no matter how the situation changes.

Lee Shin cleared his throat and said.

“What you have to do is simple.”

“What is it?”

“You will meet the Count soon, and all you have to do is confirm what I say then.”

“……? yes?”

“You’re meeting the Count…?”

…are you going to die?

Soldiers looking at Isin like they were looking at a madman.

At that gaze, Isin added briefly.

“Except for your count.”

“… … ?”

“The person you are going to meet is Count Rodin.”

“……ah!”

* * *

[Arrived at Amphiri Estate.]

The territory we just arrived at.

Lee Shin went straight to see the count.

The count was so surprised by this new arrival that he opened his mouth wide.

“I’m back.”

“No, it’s over already?!”

“Haha, didn’t I promise I’d be back soon?”

[ Completed!]

[Gain experience points.]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

“I thought it would take at least a few more days… This is truly amazing!”

“Well, this is familiar….”

“…What did you say just now?”

“Haha, it was nothing. It was thanks to your trust rather than my ability.”

“To the point of being humble…!”

[The Count admires your humility.]

[Greatly increases the Count’s intimacy.]

[Now, if you say anything, the Count will most likely believe it.]

“So how was it? What about that author’s estate?”

“It was quite a mess. Now that I’ve stirred things up, it’s probably gotten worse.”

“Is that so? Hahaha! You dared to covet someone else’s territory, but you look great!”

[The Count’s mood improves.]

[The count’s intimacy increases.]

“Hahahaha!!”

“… … .”

“Haha! Keuhahaha!”

The Count laughs heartily!

He was laughing so hard that you could see his Adam’s apple.

How happy must someone be at the other person’s misfortune to make them laugh like this?

‘… Certainly, it seems like things weren’t very good between them.’

Or maybe this time, the exchange made things worse than before.

Whatever it was, the situation was going according to Lee Shin’s intention.

Lee Shin let him laugh for a bit and then intervened at the right time.

“But I… .”

“Haha… huh?”

“In fact, apart from the turbulent atmosphere among the residents, we have discovered several suspicious movements from the other side.”

“Unsettling movement? What is that?”

“I’ll show you in person. … … Bring him!”

“yes.”

At Isin’s command, Gilaim brought in the soldiers he had stationed outside.

Soldiers who were beaten so much that they became like rice cakes.

The count frowned at the sight and asked.

“… … This is a sight to behold. Who are these people?”

“These are the soldiers from the enemy territory that I captured.”

“I see. … … No, what did you say!?”

The count jumped to his feet in surprise.

“Rice, you brought the soldiers!?”

“yes.”

“No, how did it turn out like that!?”

“This is a long explanation… … .”

After licking his lips, Lee Shin began to explain while rubbing his palms.

This is the explanation (of course, it’s all made up):

-While performing a mission in the enemy’s territory, I discovered several merchants with suspicious behavior.

– I looked into it more closely because I was suspicious of the fact that they were strangely heavily armed, and they turned out to be soldiers from the territory disguised as merchants.

-After being questioned and beaten, he confessed that he was ordered by Count Killaim to infiltrate the Amphiri territory.

“That is, Count Killim had more than one plan in mind.”

“that…!?”

“… … .”

“yes?”

“Oh, that’s right!!! That’s absolutely right!”

“Count Killim, that author ordered me to do so!”

The effect of meta work!

The soldiers who were trembling at Yishin’s question answered loudly.

Thanks to this, Count Rodin was completely fooled.

You really want to go all the way…!

“This author, how dare he!”

[I fooled the count!]

[If the lie is revealed…]

“What would you like to do?”

“What should I do? I have to pay you back!”

“If that’s the case, I have a good way.”

“Is that so? After all, there is no one else but you. You are very trustworthy. What is your method?”

The method was simple.

“We also send our soldiers in disguise, but in much greater numbers and more secretly than the enemy.”

“and?”

“Shouldn’t we set an example? We can bide our time and attack one or two of the enemy’s military facilities before we get out.”

“Hmm… … .”

The count thought for a moment and then answered.

“It seems okay… … . We didn’t prepare anything for this plan. I’m worried if the soldiers will be able to properly carry out this sudden mission.”

“That’s okay.”

“Are you okay?”

“Aren’t you here? If you just leave it to me, I will lead the soldiers.”

“… … !”

The count opened his eyes wide at Isin’s request.

“You? You don’t know much about military facilities, do you?”

“No. Since I was already undercover, I figured out something.”

“indeed…!”

[The Count is impressed.]

“I didn’t know things would turn out like this… … haha, I was lucky.”

“If luck repeats itself, it becomes skill. Alright. Then I’ll trust you this time too!”

Tiring.
