Chapter 126
The next morning .
The soldiers in the Fortress, who ate and drank last night, were waking up from their respective places while rubbing their eyes .
“Ahhm? I slept really well . What about the reinforcements?”
“Haven’t they come yet?”
“A little more time and they’ll be here . ”
Not knowing that Luke had lied to them, everyone was still hanging by the ropes .
The swollen hope of a group of reinforcements coming in from the south .
“Reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming!”
“Where? On my, are those reinforcements?”
“Oh my! Let’s open the gate quickly!”
The soldiers opened the gates of the Fortress . But when they saw the starting team of the reinforcements, they were dismayed .
It was because they were the separate troops which had been led by Hobart and Anna .
“What is this? It’s just you guys? What about the reinforcements?” Asked the soldier at the gate .
“Ah, about that…”
The soldiers who were deceived had been told the truth by the one who entered .
When the truth reached the soldiers, they all rushed over to Luke who was in the parade ground .
“Sir, what happened to the reinforcements?”
“Are they not coming, sir?”
“Was that really just a trick?”
The questions from the soldiers flowed out non-stop .
Luke raised his hand as a sign of asking them to stop their questions . And the soldiers who realized that they were being rude to their commander, withdrew .
“We are sorry . ”
“Oh, that, we were just…!”
It was short, half of the soldiers were on the verge of crying, and the other half were angry .
“Did you deceive us?” Asked a soldier .
“To deceive the enemy, I had no choice but to deceive you . It was necessary to break the enemy’s attack somehow and divert their flow,” said Luke .
“But…”
The soldiers stared at Luke for a moment .
It was because of the fact that they had been lied to and deceived .
But if they thought about it, if it weren’t for the lie told by the commander, the Fortress would have been captured by the enemy’s continuous attacks .
They would have never been able to enjoy the feast or the party .
“Don’t be so sad or upset . There won’t be any battle for a few days,” said Luke .
“Is that true?”
“Yeah, trust me . This time, that isn’t a lie . ”
By the time Luke had told them that, a soldier who was on duty of spying the Fortress came running with news of the Volga Republic army’s camp .
“There are no troops trying to enter the Fortress from the outside, except for a few horsemen who entered the Fortress this morning . There were no reinforcements for the enemy!”
“We were completely deceived by them!” Said a soldier .
“We need to resume our attack right now and wipe out those snakes out of here, sir!”
“Right . Go ahead and issue the order!” Asked a soldier .
The staff was asking Tyron to issue an order to resume the battle, but Tyron didn’t open his mouth . He was deep in thought .
He was a wizard .
Unlike the hasty staff who were knights, he was thinking about various possibilities .
‘In the end, we were deceived and gave them a good pleasant night to rest . But, would attacking right now be the best decision for us?’
They were given some time, like a vacation break .
The soldiers of the enemy drank all night and deceived the Republic .
Tyron was wondering if they would be deceived once again .
‘A trap to attract us? If so, we would fail if we attack blindly . ’
Thinking so, Tyron gave orders to his staff .
“Pick out five thousand vanguards . Attack the fort by picking the units which didn’t participate in yesterday’s attack . ”
“Understood, sir!”
The staff was disappointed as they were ordered to launch the canon, but were still content with the commander’s decision to attack them .
When the meeting was done, the units were organized, and something unexpected happened .
“What did you say? A messenger from the Fortress has come?”
“Yes . A while back, he was seen holding a white flag . ”
The staff frowned at the act . They were all suspicious of what the commander of the Fortress was trying to accomplish .
“Sir, there is no reason for us to meet him . So slash his neck right away . ”
“No . Killing a messenger who came in to talk is a barbaric act . It will defile the beliefs of our soldiers and troops, as well as the entire Volga Republic . ”
“Then let’s just ignore the request . ”
The staff was fighting with one another like wild dogs . Tyron asked the knight who had come in with the information about the commander’s visit .
“Hasn’t he told you why he has come here?”
“He said that he would talk about it directly to the commander of the camp,” responded the knight .
“Is that so? Then what were his role and statement?”
“That, that is…”
The knight was flustered . He looked at Tyron directly in his eyes and said,
“His name is Luke de Rakan . He is a Viscount, and the Commander of the Fortress . ”
“What, what did you say?!”
The eyes of the staff around Tyron went wide .
Not a knight or a soldier, but the enemy himself had directly come to meet them!
And he did that after making his subordinates enjoy a night of feast and partying .
“Hahahaha!”
Marquis Tyron burst into laughter .
The staff was all bewildered with Tyron’s action .
“There is a huge gap between us . The descendant of Rakan?”
“Yes, he definitely said that . ”
“This is interesting . Call him in . I’ll see what tricks he is trying to do . ”
The staff kept on talking, but Tyron didn’t listen to a single thing they said .
Surely the enemy’s strategy was a trick . However, Tyron was wondering what kind of character would the descendant of the Warrior Rakan, who the fairies considered as their enemy, possessed .
