Chapter 213: 213 204 Existence of fourteen-year-old traitor

Fartil kingdom, king capital Askis.

The city was somewhat to the west, not in the central part of the kingdom of Fatil.

You would have liked to have placed the capital a little further from the border with the separated and independent Kingdom of Rockwell.

But the thoughts of those who built the king's capital here became vain.

Two hundred years after independence.

Because the Rockwell Royal Army was finally attacking even King Askis.

The commander-in-chief is Garrett, the twentieth generation king of the Kingdom of Rockwell.

Garrett himself was in command because it was a battle that shaped the fate of the nation.

The assistant is General Zachariah Dodge.

He is an old general over sixty years old.

"Will it be a while before we fall?"

"Yes, probably. Let's not panic."

Garrett was in a hurry after much more resistance than expected.

This war is a battle against time.

I almost wanted to launch a raid ready for some damage.

But after falling King Askis and Sonicroft, we must be prepared for a battle to oust the Reid Royal Army, which came to reinforce us.

We can't waste soldiers yet.

You have to hurry down, but you have to sit back and fight.

Garrett is in such a hurry.

At times like this, General Dodge often assists Garrett in his first line.

He was the only general with a season in, the type to command where his hips sat.

Garrett had so much trust that he thought, "If it weren't for Marshal Ford, he'd already be Marshal".

- As long as you calm down and attack, you'll be fine.

That's what I thought. Tragic news was delivered to them.

"Grandpa's dead! Plus, even Charlene and Leo! What the hell is going on!?

Garrett barks.

Things have changed dramatically in just one night.

- When the Royal Reed Army arrived near Sonicroft and launched a night raid on them, the Ford Marshals were killed.

I wanted someone to explain to me what happened that I didn't understand.

But no one can explain it.

Moreover, the report merely stated that it was presumed to be an "assassination" and did not contain any detailed information.

The truth is that the war is over and you won't have to ask the person who killed Marshal Ford.

Upon hearing this news, all of them, including Garrett and General Dodge, were temporarily relieved.

Originally, the arrival of reinforcements from the Reid Kingdom should have been some time away.

Yet he showed up already.

In the meantime, he's raging about picking up Marshal Ford and so on.

Exactly. I didn't envisage anything like the fact that the Reid Royal Army would show up so early, and I didn't think it was strong.

I just want to talk to Marshal Ford about how to handle this situation, but I'm not in the world anymore.

It was the moment this war plan collapsed from the ground up.

It was General Dodge who recovered from this state of affairs as soon as possible.

"Sire, please calm down. Reinforcements are coming too soon, no matter how much. Besides, it's incredible that Marshal Ford would take a step back."

"So this man brought false information on purpose?"

Garrett stares at the transmission.

Because I thought humans in the kingdom of Fatil were trying to turn it into a missionary order and confuse it with false news in order to crack down on the current situation.

But General Dodge denies it.

"I've seen him before. So I guess it does not mean that those in the kingdom of Fatil have come to shed false information to confuse us. Maybe Marshal Ford is deliberately sending this kind of news and trying to use it for some kind of operation?

"What kind of maneuver would use such false statements against an ally at this time of year?

"I don't know what Marshal Ford thinks. But it would be better than to believe the story of 'reinforcements have already arrived from the Kingdom of Reed and Marshal Ford has been taken over'. Why don't you send a messenger here once to check it out"

"... right. I can't believe it. Let's get a messenger out of here for confirmation. It's not too late to panic."

I also think Garrett "panicked" and takes a deep breath once and tries to calm down.

He had heard a lot about this operation plan, too.

It also concerns reinforcements coming from the most important realm of Reid.

There are no belligerent lords or proxy lords in eastern Reid kingdom.

Even if we were ready to head for reinforcements, we thought we would march at a slower pace so that we could rendezvous on the way with the Royal Direct Army and the nobles of the West.

I do not believe that the Eastern Marquis alone will come to reinforce the kingdom of Fatil.

"It's some mistake, it's Marshal Ford's operation" is more believable.

General Dodge's opinion that confirmation should be given first was taken into account.

In the course of that day, he came with incredible news, even if the decree did once again.

This decree was sent by Felix in retreat.

"The army that was besieging Sonicroft is defeated!? Besides, General Tesla and the others are under siege! Don't be silly!"

Even then Garrett barks.

I'm surprised this time too, but the color of anger is darker.

Because the thought of "how do I react with this information" is strong.

But when I vented my anger, I calmed down.

"Wait, do we need to send the news that we lost so persistently for as much as anything? Hey, you. Marshal Ford must be strict on me, but I am King of the Kingdom of Rockwell. Tell the truth."

Garrett commands the decree very badly.

"It's all true. The troops that were besieging Sonicroft are in defeat. Under Master Felix's command, we are retreating to rendezvous with the main unit!

The decree isn't lying, so Garrett interrogates me and starts shaking my body.

It's so much tears in my eyes because of fear.

It proved more than words that its appearance was not a false statement.

"No way......, are we really losing? Marshals Ford are dead, too?

"You may not believe it, but the remaining troops are in defeat. Marshal Ford, did you not receive a report of the death in action?

The decree considered that "the decree that came out earlier had not arrived".

So all of a sudden, they let me know about the defeat and I couldn't believe it.

The facts are different.

The reports of the death of Marshals Ford had arrived.

But I couldn't believe it, so I thought, "I had an idea for Marshal Ford."

It was very unacceptable news, so my mind might have refused to believe in nature.

Having thus been informed that the troops that were besieging Sonicroft were withdrawing, I had to believe that the situation had finally begun to make me understand that it was a fact.

"What the hell is going on?

Garrett asks General Dodge for an explanation.

"If the information on the invasion of the kingdom of Fartil was leaking and the Reid kingdom prepared reinforcements... Marshal Ford can't be defeated so soon. It is true that it was taken over when the night raid was launched, and even if General Tesla, who took over command, was confused, it would not be so easy to lose. It's impossible."

But he couldn't believe what was going on, either, and he couldn't explain it.

You can admit that "Marshal Ford was assassinated" thing.

There are numerous elements of uncertainty on the battlefield.

As one of them, "Commander's death" is common.

But it shouldn't have been until the army was defeated.

The army Marshal Ford was leading couldn't have been defeated in just one day.

The battle against the Reid Royal Army should have been sticky for days to weeks.

Unless so many powerful enemies have emerged, it is incredible that the battle will end in such a short period of time.

He was the one who wanted to hear what was going on.

"Then what? You're saying that the commander of the Royal Reed Army has someone more powerful than Marshal Ford, and he beat them in just one day?

Garrett roughs up her voice and yells all around her.

After he spit out the word, he calmed down a little.

"Excuse me. I think I was a little upset about Marshal Ford's death."

"No, we feel the same way. … but perhaps what His Majesty has just said is not surprisingly wrong."

"What?"

General Dodge agrees with what Garrett said when he screwed up.

"It's only twenty years since the Kingdom of Lead is going to battlefield. Maybe a young man was growing up in the meantime. Even if someone had talent, he would remain anonymous if he didn't have the chance to prove his abilities on the battlefield. I was wondering if this time it was a war and the man started showing his head..."

He says what comes to mind.

Maybe that's what I wanted to believe.

Even this theory has not been able to explain why the Reid kingdom was able to act quickly.

What's happening with Sonycroft is all that can't be explained.

About one wanted a convincing explanation.

So I stayed to express my opinion that "a young man has come out to take over Marshal Ford".

"Maybe so...... No, you're right. Just because I was ever weak didn't mean I would remain weak. Naturally, they should try to make up for their weaknesses. We must also acknowledge that we have made an operational plan under hopeful observation."

Garrett also expresses his agreement with this opinion.

We can't move on unless we admit our mistakes first.

But this problem was also something that I didn't know how to move forward.

"I need to hear more from Felix Ford during the retreat. That's hard to deal with. Even if we lose Marshal Ford, we haven't lost the war yet. Firstly, intensify the offensive against Askis. Let them fall before reinforcements arrive and you'll have a chance to get the kingdom of Fatil"

Garrett chose to solve the problem in front of him.

There is no realism in trying to believe, such as the defeat of Marshal Ford's troops.

Besides, if we retreat here, everything will be in vain.

At the very least, I wanted to fall Askis, the king's capital, and establish the degree of control over the eastern half of the kingdom of Fatil.

- But it is immediately reminded that it was a mistake.

A few days later.

Faster than the troops led by Felix, came the decree.

But that was not a transmission of a report from Felix, but a knight who had been taken prisoner by the Reid Royal Army was sent as a messenger.

"Reid Kingdom reinforcements are roughly 20,000. The army of the Marquis of Wellrod and the Earl of Lancaster, with a treatment unit for elves"

"Yes, we have both been treated to prove that the elves are neutral and will not only put their shoulders in the Reid kingdom. Read the letter for more information."

A knight took a letter out of his bag.

When Garrett checks the contents, he tells the people around him to talk and listen.

"It does say, 'I hope you don't attack the elves because they are neutral and treat them regardless of enemy allies'. Or one more thing, our strategic objectives can no longer be achieved. It also says to think about harmony."

"Oh my God!"

You are reading story The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me" at novel35.com

"You're already going to win!

"If it's about 20,000, let's kick your ass!

Those who hear talk insist on fighting verbally.

"Marshal Ford's death was an assassination. The army was defeated because they poked at the confusion".

I believe you can't lose if you fight from the front.

Kick the Reid Royal Army and occupy Askis.

After that, I was beginning to think I should take down Sonycroft with all the troops.

This was also due to the desire to avenge Marshal Ford.

Garrett was also about to be drunk by the momentum around him, but he felt good there.

Sure, General Tesla and the others would have been confused, but it's still anomalous that the battle wins and loses in a day.

I wonder if he's a good opponent to fight from the front.

"Um, may I..."

"What?

Sent as a messenger, the knight looks like he has something to say.

"I am the knight of the Kingdom of Rockwell and I pledge my absolute loyalty to His Majesty. I want you to believe that I have never betrayed you. That's all I'm going to tell you."

"Um, okay"

The knight comes from inside the bag, a single letter and a leather bag.

And I took out the marshal's wand.

"It!?

"General Dodge asked me to hand it to you in an invisible place. 'Thank you for your letter,' he said. 'This wand is worthy of General Dodge to have'. The contents of the bag are gold coins."

The knight sees Chirali and General Dodge.

No, he wasn't the only one.

Those who were here were looking at the General.

The reason is simple.

- Because I suspected betrayal.

If there was a traitor, it would also explain the quick response of the Reid Royal Army and the defeat of Marshal Ford's troops.

Everyone wanted an understandable reason for defeat and needed someone to sacrifice.

General Dodge also realizes what his surroundings are thinking.

"No! I have not betrayed you. You may check that letter. I am innocent."

General Dodge immediately denies it, but he can't easily shake off the suspicions he once had with humans.

The denial seemed unnecessarily suspicious around.

Let me read it, just in case.

Certainly suspicious, but suspicion alone cannot punish you.

Garrett decided to read the letter.

"Thank you for your letter..."

With the words Garrett groaned, General Dodge turns his face bright blue.

Because it was starting with words I was about to be suspected of.

At that time, I remembered that I had sent a letter before.

"Who is the sender? If it was Isaac from the Marquis of Wellrod, I remember giving a thank-you note"

"Isaac Welrod...... Surely this letter says its name."

This name was familiar to Garrett as well.

Garrett had a time when Melinda was her fiancée.

But he sent Melinda back to the Reid kingdom because she had a terrible response to Scarlett, now the queen.

That Melinda married the Marquis of Welrod when she returned to the Kingdom of Reed.

And he heard that the First Lady's son had killed him.

This Isaac Welrod must be the kid who killed Melinda.

When I think about it, I feel like I shouldn't believe this letter.

The content of the letter itself is like a thank you note.

It's not from what I'm sending at this time, but maybe that's why I sent it.

- To sow the seeds of doubt this way.

"General Dodge. Why did you have to thank me?

"Did you know that my daughter's son-in-law was sent as a resident ambassador to the Reid kingdom until about five years ago?

"Oh, I know"

Speaking of five years ago, Garrett was Prince Wang.

Even if I hadn't directly appointed him, I had a general idea of where and who was being seconded.

I remember in particular the insides of such a powerful man as General Dodge.

"Isaac Welrod said, 'Make friends with my grandfather,' and he was sending flowers and treats he had grown himself to ambassadors in various countries. Even now that I stopped being a resident ambassador, he still sends me seasonal flowers and treats. And last year, he also sent candlesticks and other condiments to my relatives, because Dwarf and I have a good friendship going on. I remember writing a thank-you note then. But we never divulged the operational plan or anything."

General Dodge calmly and calmly explains what happened.

I heard that explanation and an answer came up behind Garrett's brain.

"... well. General Dodge has not betrayed us."

To Garrett's words, those around him say, "Are you sure about that?"

Naturally, I start explaining why I thought so.

"First, General Dodge knows that 'you can wait'. No matter how long, in a couple of years, Marshal Ford will retire. When that happens, it will be General Dodge who will be appointed the next Marshal. There is no reason to pass information on to the Reid Kingdom here and now to make Marshal Ford a deceased. The Marshal's wand would have belonged to General Dodge not far away"

Garrett explains that to his surroundings.

There were rumors that Marshal Ford would "take advantage of this war to retire," so those who were listening will also show satisfaction.

"Secondly, the Reid Kingdom reinforcements are about 20,000. If the information was really leaking, we would have mobilized the entire army. Perhaps someone has sensed this move and responded quickly. The number of the Royal Lead Army is too small to know this operational plan."

This would have been satisfactory if it had been explained.

Calm down, someone else would have noticed.

Marshal Ford's death in action and General Dodge's suspicions had given everyone so much upset.

"And finally, Isaac Welrod. I know you didn't write a lie in this letter, but it doesn't say what you really need."

"What does that mean?

The perimeter begins to squirm.

Because I don't know that much about Isaac.

"Isaac Welrod has a friendly relationship with elves and dwarves, and the reputation of the ambassadors in the country is good. But don't forget. Isaac is the man who killed Melinda and her belly brother with his own hands in an inheritance dispute."

Neither did Garrett know about Isaac unless Melinda was involved.

At best, it would have been something like "someone who can have friendly relations with elves and dwarves".

But he knew because Melinda was involved.

I thought Melinda was a stupid woman, but I don't think she's stupid enough to actually move on to action in a inheritance fight without a chance.

In fact, I guess there was a chance when she moved into action.

But that's a tentative first.

Garrett was actually beginning to think that it would be a runoff that had been cut off inside and induced by Isaac's hand.

The idea proves to me that the letter at hand is correct.

"The only letter I hit on General Dodge is' Thank you for your letter '. Right now, it's this situation that just makes it look like an inside letter. Think about it. If it was a thank you letter for the tip, it would be problematic to bribe the first person you meet to do a favor. It's written in my calculations."

Garrett stares at General Dodge.

"If you execute General Dodge here and later say, 'Did you kill him? It was just a letter.' What would you do if they told you? It would be a bigger shock than when General Dodge was truly betraying us. The gratitude written in the letter would be genuine. But it doesn't say a word enough about gratitude for insiders. It's aimed at our mislead."

Garrett takes the next letter that was written about the elf.

"So is this one. The elves are neutral, so it says I don't want them to attack. But it doesn't say anything about accidentally attacking an elf. Perhaps he is waiting to attack the elves in an attempt to sharpen the ability of our Kingdom of Lead to continue fighting. If you attack from here, the Elves who will mark neutrality will be able to enter the battle with dignity."

"I see, I'm not lying, but I'm not writing all the truth. You're like a fraud."

Listen to Garrett and the people around you begin to understand.

- He said this was a trap to plunge General Dodge into.

"I believe in General Dodge. Enough to look forward to the day when I can officially give you this marshal's staff."

"Your Majesty......, thank you"

General Dodge is in tears.

It is an honor to be so trusted by Garrett as a subordinate.

Plus, it wasn't weird that Marshal Ford was pushed to the cause of his death in battle because of the momentum.

In the meantime, I was glad you believed in yourself.

"But when you look at the Marshal's wand like this, don't make me realize that Marshal Ford really died..."

Garrett stares at the wand Marshal Ji and Ford had.

Marshal Ford has been an old man since he got his mind on it and wondered if he would keep living as an old man forever.

Garrett himself, sometimes so nostalgic as to call him "Grandpa".

When such an old man thinks "this world is not enough," he learns the unspeakable loneliness of words.

"... sounds good to think about harmony"

"Sire!"

Those around him try to make Garrett feel weak, but he took control of it with one hand.

"But once the Royal Reed Army arrives near Askis, If you drop the Askis by then, you can have a showdown with the Reid Kingdom. Let's do what we can first."

Garrett doesn't want to come this far either and go home with his bare hands.

- Is dropping the askis first?

- Or is the reinforcements arriving first?

I was going to play a battle with time.

Of course, I didn't think about reconciliation because reinforcements are coming.

- Because Garrett has a traitor (...), he thought about reconciliation.

(General Dodge hasn't betrayed you. That's for sure. But if anyone but General Dodge is to have betrayed him, who should he doubt... too wide a range to handle)

- I let General Dodge turn his suspicious attention away from the real traitor.

Garrett thought so.

I noticed this because I was hearing reports of "sneaking out Marshal Ford when everyone was concentrating on General Leo's unit".

The enemy has a wise man who handles the truth well.

It would also be to hide the existence of a true traitor that made General Dodge turn his suspicious attention in a foolish and honest manner.

- I don't care if General Dodge is punished, because even if suspicion clears up, I can keep my eyes off my life for a while.

Either way, it didn't turn out bad for the Reid Royal Army.

(No...... Maybe there's no traitor. They may be trying to restrict our behavior by making us think there's a traitor.... you're already into Isaac's surgery at a time when it's making you think like this)

One piece of paper cut even made me think about harmony.

When I was younger, I was like, "Why do the fathers fear a man with only a mouth like Jude Welrod?," Garrett thought.

But this is how I felt like I had come to deal with him and finally understood the real horror of turning a good strategist against my enemies.
