Chapter 427: 427
Luke, who immediately got the news about the Grenada Navy’s defeat, talked to Belik with the help of magic communication .
“Good job . Thanks to that, we will be able to fight the Milton Kingdom with confidence . ”
-Huh, we didn’t have to work hard . The pirates weren’t enough exercise for our bodies .
Belik just shrugged his shoulders at Luke’s gratitude .
Honestly, it wouldn’t have been such an easy battle .
Had it not been for the operation proposed by Zegal Soha and the request for a new weapon, the current situation could be declared impossible .
Still, Belik didn’t want to appear weak in front of Luke and shrugged it off .
-If you feel that grateful, buy me a drink later . For your information, I prefer whiskey, and…
Luke, who frowned on the information Belik was giving about what he liked, quickly changed the topic .
-After the battle, we caught some prisoners and pretty big shots too .
“Leading men?”Read more chapters at Listnovel . com
-Yes, Fernando de Salizar, the Commander of the Grenada land troops . King Drake’s son-in-law and the current leading successor to the throne .
‘We got the next king of Grenada?’
Fernando tried to escape with the help of a teleport scroll right after his Gigant got destroyed by Hwang Bo-sung and Kaper .
However, he wasn’t able to run that far away .
It was because the coordinates for the scroll was the flagship, Hyredin .
After Duke Nathan and his men retreated, there were only Red Wolf Knights and Rakan Knights led by Belik and Zegal Soha .
Fernando saw that and tried to escape . However, he was overpowered by Belik and brought back to Lamer city .
-Because of that, the Grenada men are turning restless . The Admiral of the Navy sent in a messenger asking about the whereabouts of Fernando . I think he wants to see Fernando’s body to make sure he’s dead .
-So, what did you say?
-First, we told him that the man was alive and that we didn’t have the authority to make decisions, so they are now planning to meet our Lord to negotiate or beg .
“Great job . ”
At the news relayed by Belik, Luke nodded his head .
Considering what they did to Lamer, he wanted to hang the successor to the throne under the sun .
But then, the Grenada Kingdom wouldn’t stand still .
They might have lost a lot during this battle, but they still had the strongest navy troops in the continent .
They wouldn’t be able to perform a full-scale invasion like this time, but they would surely do multiple attacks on the coastal area .
In the current situation where the Navy of Rakan was weak, Luke could use Fernando as a get-away card .
“I will take care of that matter . And Commander Belik, return to the occupied Eastern Baroque Empire . ”
-Return? You don’t want your father’s help?
“Of course . The Milton army can be defeated with the current power I have . ”
Luke wanted Belik and the Red Wolf Knights to head back east and harass the Baroque Empire again .
That would keep the Eastern Imperial Forces bound over there, and it would be difficult for Emperor Rudolf to take down the Libiya kingdom .
-Understood . Don’t act rashly and end it well .
“Don’t worry . Let’s meet again . ”
When Luke was done with Belik, a wizard entered to give him a message .
“Lord, our forces hiding in the Milton Kingdom were contacted via Argos . ”
“And?”
Luke received the full message and looked into the content .
It was Scarlet who contacted him .
She and her men were in Milton after completing their mission at the Variand Mountain, and it was because Luke had told them that they would be assigned to a new mission in the future .
So, they were deliberately working under the Milton army and were patrolling the roads behind the battlefields .
However, a while ago during the patrol, they received some inside information .
“Hm, this has to be done right away . ”
Reading the content, a smile crept onto Luke’s face .
Seeing that, Philip asked for the details, “What is it?”
Instead of telling him, Luke handed him the text . Reading the text, Philip understood Luke’s intention .
“If we don’t do it immediately, they’ll become annoying to remove . ”
“Right? Only around a dozen or so knights are there with excellent spying skills . With them, I need to go and solve the problem . ”
At Luke’s words, Philip seemed troubled .
“If Lord will say that he wants to go, I am sure Commander Rogers wouldn’t agree to it . ”
“We can’t do anything . I am the only one who can do it,” said Luke while tapping his bracelet .
“There is no need to worry . I will speak to Commander Rogers . Also, Milton’s offensive has weakened by a lot as well, so the commander won’t be against it . ”
‘I guess he did something with that Devil King’s skills,’ thought Philip .
If not, there was no other explanation on why the offensive of the Milton Kingdom had suddenly weakened, and the Milton retainers were having divided opinions .
No one in Rakan knew the cause, and to Philip, it meant that Luke had done something .
‘This is only going to get worse . ’
Philip shrugged his shoulders and looked at Luke, who had a sneaky smile on his face .
