2 It was learned that the prince was caught colluding with the empire and was deprived of his princely title and tortured until he died.

When they heard the news, they felt a feeling of deep frustration.

Because of the 2nd prince, they were able to gain a lot.

In the sense of fullness that fills them in the material aspect, rather, when the 2nd prince was still, they took the first step and arranged a meeting with the empire.

The amount earned is equivalent to the monthly operating cost of a large city.

But all of that fell into abyss in an instant.

If the royal family hadn’t focused on the second prince, they would have been dragged along as well.

‘Raymond Millennium uncovered the truth.’

When they learned that it was all because of Raymond, they were furious.

If it wasn’t for him, they wouldn’t have shrunk or saved money like they do now.

I was resentful and longed to get revenge on him.

And it came quickly.

The third prince was in danger due to the black magician.

Upon learning that Raymond was involved in the matter, they begged that they be sent as inspectors to investigate Raymond.

In addition, they paid bribes to other members of the royal family to focus their efforts on themselves.

The royal family readily accepted it.

She was treating Raymond, who was close to the Crown Prince, as a thorn in her eye.

‘I will definitely make you shed tears of blood in your eyes.’

They were determined to destroy Raymond somehow.

And in that way, the clash between the millennium and the royal family was the best way.

Even if you are a millennial, you won’t be able to come out strong against the royal family.

In addition, the Empire secretly approached them when they heard that they had become inspectors.

This time, the relationship between millennium and the royal family is not good, or at least make them wary of each other.

If you do that, he said he would give you a good seat in the Empire.

They’re not going to pass up that opportunity.

Far from refusing, they were overjoyed and accepted the offer.

Inspectors heading to the millennium like that.

It was good at first.

Even when they just left, Raymond and Earl Millennium did not show any reaction.

“What do they say in the Empire?”

“I want you to do it like you do now. When I return to the royal family, I will make a seat for you, so I told you to come to them?”

It was an opportunity to occupy a key position in the empire.

They ran amok and ran amok.

Even though I don’t know when I’ll die, I’m worried, but I still had a corner to believe.

They said that they would die to protect their families, and they decided to compensate their families for their share, so there was no need to be afraid.

“Ji, what did you just say, that crazy bastard?”

“They say they are joining the southern supply unit. How can you do that unless you really want to die?”

Something like lightning fell on them.

Millennium had many eyes to see.

So, even if they were threatened, some degree of safety was guaranteed.

But the South wasn’t.

No matter how much the empire was, it couldn’t follow all the way to the south.

When they went to the South, they couldn’t fulfill their mission, and it was difficult to find out how they died.

As they say, even if they were killed by barbarians, the truth of the incident could not be revealed.

It was just dog death.

But there was no way to get out, and somehow I got to the south.

“Ha, what are we going to do now?”

“I have to do my best not to die. uh? It’s out there.”

I’m trying to say that I can fight inside as much as possible, but strangely, the atmosphere of them coming out of the command barracks was strange.

The inspectors stiffened at the sight of them looking as if they were going to fight at any moment.

“The knight who came with Sir Bane and Lanos engage in sparring!”

The sound made them think.

And they felt an indescribable feeling at the sight of sparring with a man of great build.

Overwhelmed.

Raymond was overpowering a man who looked very strong.

It was so strong that their hearts were pounding.

Have they ever been fooled by a person with such power?

They also use swords, so they can see how absurd Raymond’s appearance is.

Especially in the South, where strength is power, being stamped by someone with that level of force was almost like dying.

If the probability of living next to a strong person is higher, they have no connections here, and they are pretending to know people.

“ah… ruined.”

None of them responded to the low muttering.

***

Earl Warrug formed a surprise force with the two southern rangers, the entire inspectorate, and me and Lanos.

Lanos still burned his hostility towards me.

Through sparring, it subsided to some extent, but it did not disappear completely.

“The operation is tonight, tonight.”

“All right.”

“I will keep that in mind!”

Unlike me who was calm, Lanos showed a warm reaction.

And the inspectors… .

“Oh, it’s ruined.”

“You can’t even run away from here.”

“They say all savages are monsters, but there’s no way this will succeed.”

He was still in despair.

From the moment they came to the South, their babbling had drastically decreased, and their complexions were as pale as those of a corpse.

He was very negative, saying that he would never be able to return alive.

The notoriety of the savages was so great.

“It will be a tough operation, so rest until then.”

Saying that, Count Warrug gestured towards the rangers beside him.

The rangers who had been waiting while listening to Count Warrug rushed to his gesture and handed something.

“Put it on. It’s clothes that help you hide.”

It was all black, like the clothes of the rangers.

I immediately took the dress and put it on.

The clothes of the rangers were made from the material of ‘Tontria’, a monster that was active only at night.

It was also used by Assassins to absorb moonlight and help hide in the dark.

“That’s not going to happen, but this dagger is for self-determination. Some of the savages have cannibalism, so if you get caught you’d better commit suicide. He said he didn’t want to be eaten alive.”

He spoke harshly and only gave the dagger to the inspectors, rangers, and Lanos.

I didn’t receive anything, so I looked at him in bewilderment, and he said something absurd to me.

“Ah, sorry. Because I don’t have enough daggers.”

What does that mean?

No matter how barren the place is, besides, I brought supplies today, but there is no dagger for me?

It wasn’t that he didn’t have a dagger, it was as if he had other ideas.

“Ha, I see.”

I had no intention of killing myself in the first place, so I decided to just skip this time.

It’s not even an opponent who can communicate with you by talking.

“Everyone go and take it easy. Raymond follows me. I have work to do.”

“Sir Bane, too… !”

“This is mine and his business, so don’t even think about interfering.”

“… .”

At his resolute words, Lanos shut his mouth.

Then he looked at me and bit his lip.

I was fed up with him being jealous of even this, and I felt a bit resentful of Count Warrag, who dared to pull me in in front of everyone.

If you’re going to call me, at least call me when he’s not around.

I sighed at the thought that life in the South for three months would not be so smooth.

“From now on, I won’t speak. Don’t even breathe. When necessary, use the hand signal given to you.”

Count Warrug, who had almost reached the surprise position, spoke in a bloody voice.

Everyone nodded their heads without answering.

“Damn it, I’m screwed. You finally came here.”

“I will die, I will die.”

Beside them, inspectors were still muttering negative things.

It’s the first time, but it’s going to last, so the people who came with them looked at them and made an impression.

“To think that knights are barely frightened by things like this. When I go back, I’ll have to find out how the hell these guys became knights.”

Count Warrug glared at them fiercely.

Seeing those eyes, they flinched and shut their mouths.

“You guys… You got it wrong. Don’t go out unless it’s urgent. It might cause damage to allies if you go out on your own.”

At his words, they felt relieved rather than embarrassed.

Seeing how happy they were that they didn’t have to fight, even I, who brought them, sighed.

“Then go up.”

Count Warrug looked away from them and moved on.

If you go up through the forested mountain road, you will come to a small road.

It was not created artificially, but was created by the flow of water from the mountain top and the lake.

This road led from the barbarian lands to Eastern Castle.

However, the reason why barbarians and Eastern knights did not use this place was simple.

It was too tough, and it was easy to be ambushed.

Since the bushes were so overgrown, it was inevitable that if you were hiding here, you would be unaware of it.

We went further in along the way.

flutter-

The sounds of insects and animals are heard.

We have reached the boundary between the land of the savages and the territory of Easton.

Even the rangers couldn’t hide their nervousness, as if this was the first time they’d been here.

‘Shh.’

Count Warrug raised a finger and brought it to his mouth.

And then it points to a place.

Not far away, I saw savages moving.

As much as the barbarian’s land was right in front of them, the barbarians often went around reconnaissance like this to prepare for the easton that would invade at any time.

We moved a little higher at Count Warrug’s signal.

After climbing for a while, we were able to see it.

“$%#@%!”

Barbarians who look different from the savages who go on reconnaissance.

The scouts carried simple hatchets.

It is not to fight the enemy, but to find the enemy and inform them immediately.

But over there, without even lighting a bonfire, the savages gathered together looked like they were going to war.

A halberd and a hammer on his back, etc.

Their behavior was never that of a scout.

Besides, on this night where it is difficult to distinguish even an inch ahead, a bonfire is not being lit.

It’s rare to do something like that unless you’re moving in secret.

If I hadn’t listened to their information beforehand, I would have been completely unaware.

‘A savage should be able to see even at night like this.’

Barbarians also deal with auras.

However, he had eyesight that allowed him to see far without using an aura, eyes that could pierce darkness, and a strong body.

There is no doubt that they are great warriors, but the biggest reason they are scary is that they have no fear of death.

Rather, I considered it an honor to die fighting.

That’s why it was difficult to fight them.

‘But did the savages think like this? Those simple guys?’

Watching them gather and talk about something, I got a question.

The savages were simple at best and stupid at worst.

He only thought of combat, and did not use tactics well.

That’s why it was strange that they did this night raid.

“… .”

Then their voices disappeared.

sniff, sniff.

Sniffing their noses and smelling the surroundings, they suddenly looked in our direction.

“I fly. I smell it. The smell of the bastards of the Empire!”

Barbarians screaming loudly and running.

The battle has begun.
