93 – Kingdom short selling method 29

Sakiels abandon their weapons across the river.

Looking at them, those who remained on this side also completely lost their will to fight.

“Uh.. what should I do?”

“How do you do it? Of course you have to run away! If we continue like this, we will end up like that too!”

“The Black Legion did not even suffer significant damage even after replacing 50,000 soldiers on our side. Do you think the likes of us would dare to be opponents?”

A few hours ago, they were scarecrows with only shells and lions with teeth, but they were now imprinted as perfect targets of fear to Sakiels.

At the same time they knew

The fact that if they were here, they would be the next ones to die or become prisoners.

Sakiels, terrified like that, threw down their weapons and turned to escape.

But..

“! what… What are those again?”

“Stand.. no way… are the saviors already?”

The next moment, 10,000 soldiers with different flags than the Black Legion appeared in front of them.

It was a relief force that Hungarian King Mohichi requested from the lords of other regions, and Sakiels were stranded without even deciding what to do.

And, behind them, temporary pontoon bridges are quickly beginning to be installed.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Black Legion quickly crossed the bridge and began to come this way, and Sakiels, who recognized the fact that the object of fear appeared right in front of them, quickly made a decision.

“Ha.. I will surrender!”

“Mo.. please save my life!”

In terms of numbers, this side still had a lot, but even so, Sakiels knew that they had no chance of winning.

In this situation, even if you openly resist, you will only suffer dog death.

The soldiers of the Black Legion looked at Sakiel, who made the best choice so quickly. And from the lips of the lord’s soldiers who had come a long way, cheers of victory began to erupt.

“Whoa!”

“We won!”

“It’s a Hungarian victory!”

Seeing the soldiers expressing their joy so fervently, Gerard also began to smile. He wasn’t completely at peace yet, unlike the others.

“Commander, we won!”

“All of this is thanks to His Majesty the King and the Commander. And… Lord Bahamut.”

“No, it’s not over yet.”

“Yes?”

“That… what is that…”

Gerard speaks incomprehensible words for a moment.

The soldiers expressed their doubts, and seeing them like that, Gerard spoke with a serious voice.

“Prepare swift horses and horsemen to follow me. Before the heads of our enemies run away, we must take them.”

“!.. ah..”

“Okay, I’ll follow you!”

The generals who understood the meaning of the words immediately went into action, and Gerard, as the commander-in-chief, pulled out his sword, which he had not wielded properly throughout the war, and smiled with anticipation.

‘Still, he’s well-armed, but he’ll have to personally cut down one or two enemy soldiers. If it’s Captain Sakiel’s bodyguard, he’ll have some taste to deal with.’

“This… like this… did it end like this?”

Watching the surrender of all remaining troops in front of his eyes, Iscal fell into deep despair.

And, seeing him like that, his aides spoke in an urgent voice.

“Very… Grand Elder! You must dodge!”

“Now this place is dangerous too! In a little while, authors will be flocking here too!”

“Kuh… ”

Iscal ponders anger and despair at the words of his aides.

However, no matter how he was, there was of course no doctor who would take him as he was.

Even though I was experiencing the worst failure of my life, I couldn’t just blow everything away.

‘Yeah… it can’t end like this. It only failed once. It is to run away to my base and quickly arrange the property. Then he fled to another country and regained his power there..’

It was Sakiel who had been hiding in the dark anyway.

Concealing one’s identity and going into hiding is a familiar thing.

He thought that there was still room for a comeback as his patron, Princess Elios, would not give up like this.

Having made that decision, Iscal got up from his seat as his subordinates told him and tried to escape.

at that time..

“Keoouk!”

“Keep it off!”

“what… what? What’s going on?”

The next moment, a scream came from behind.

At this, Iscal’s face began to look embarrassed.

And… the person he sees right after that…

“Is the author really Iscal?”

“you… yes..that… That’s right..”

A middle-aged man with a large body, holding up the half-rice cake Sakiel, asked in a chilling voice.

Who he was, Iscal already knew very well.

“You…you…my… Gerard? How did you, commander-in-chief, get here…”

“Somehow, of course I came to catch you.”

With those words, Gerard threw Sakiel, who was still holding it.

Right after that, Hungarian generals rushed out from behind him and surrounded Iscal and his entourage.

“Kuh!…”

“It is over now. If you are taken quietly, your life will be spared.”

Iscal was perfectly surrounded with no room to escape.

In this situation, where it seemed that all of his bodyguards had already been slaughtered, he threw the sword he was holding onto the floor, recognizing that any further resistance was futile.

Hungary’s capital Budapest.

At the result of the war, which ended in victory, the whole city was filled with cheers.

Even those who took up arms to defend their country.

Even those who were earnestly praying for the victory of their country at home.

At this moment, everyone was enjoying the joy of victory as one.

Cheers and songs resounded through the city, and voices of praise for the heroes who led the war to victory were raised.

“ruler! drink drink! Today I shoot everything! Alcohol and meat are all good, so just talk!”

“Who is this! Aren’t they the soldiers of our proud Black Legion! Come on, come and sit down! If you want something to eat, let it be to your heart’s content! money? What money will you get from the heroes who saved their country? Enjoy your day to the fullest!”

Those who enjoy the current situation to the fullest, escaping from the situation where they felt so anxious and tense, and at the same time felt deep joy.

However, there were also those who were not able to enjoy the current victory comfortably even in the situation where everyone was laughing and enjoying themselves.

“So… you couldn’t save the princess in the end?”

“Sorry, Your Majesty!”

“Please kill your beliefs!”

“Kuh… .”

The soldiers kneeling in front of him and asking for an apology.

Looking at them, the king wiped the tears from his eyes, trying to suppress his sadness by any means.

“How… how could this be? Now everything is back to normal… Now all that remains is to enjoy this victory to the fullest… How can such a tragedy… ”

King Mohichi lamented in a voice of pain.

The report of the search party’s failure, which he put on his last hope, forced him to accept the current situation.

Sakiel’s detached unit broke into the royal castle during the war.

They kidnapped Princess Leila, and subsequently tried to slaughter other nobles and royals, but thanks to Bahamut’s intervention, they managed to kidnap the princess and then escaped.

In response, the king tried to find the princess with all possible means, but in the end, all he found was the princess’ accessories and the hem of her clothes found in the ashes.

As a result, the king had no choice but to accept the words of Bahamut and his servants that the princess was killed by the Sakiels who were enraged by the defeat of the warlord.

‘I’m sorry… I’m really sorry, my daughter… I can’t protect you as a father…’

The king shed tears while hugging the hem of his daughter’s coat, who had become no longer a person in this world, and Bahamut left the king in such deep sorrow and went to battle.

Even though I was in a position to know the whole truth. Even so, Bahamut personally felt some sympathy for the king.

‘I know the pain of losing a family member. Even if she was a traitor who wouldn’t be happy even if she killed ten thousand times, at least she was the king’s only precious daughter…’

After feeling a little confused like that, Bahamut started moving towards somewhere without caring about Princess Leila anymore.

The war is over, but he still has a lot of work to do.

And one of them is…
