Chapter 77
Eugene monotonously telling only the facts that they need to know .
The thing about how he was caught in a devious plot by a knight from the same kingdom, the one that he didn’t even consider as allies from the beginning, and losing everything .
The thing about those black knights that Faskurn employed and about how even he doesn’t know the details about them .
The topic that he told sounds suspicious and make the listener wonder whether they should believe the man . after all, he was a knight coming from enemy kingdom in this joke-like war .
Renya keep his silence and turn his gaze toward the commander with a look that questioning him whether the man could be trusted or not .
“I told you about that commander class knight that has a loose lips before right? When this man shows himself up before that commander, he reflexively screamed the man’s name out loud”
“So at least we know that his identity is legit then”
“As for the content of his story, we are still dubious . We could arrive at the same conclusion from analyzing Faskurn movement but with him coming here, we can’t rule this out as the enemy tactics to pull the wool over our eyes”
It is indeed just as what the commander said, even if what Eugene said was the truth, they can’t easily belief his word .
But Renya has one information that the commander doesn’t have .
And that one information is about Ordough sect .
If some of the Faskurn’s noble got sweet talked by the sect to obey their scheme, then the situation inside Faskurn kingdom where the kingdom is divided into two extreme faction would sounds believable .
If the alliance want to make use of the enemy weakness then they should start working in that direction . If they can remove the power of Ordough sect from Faskurn, then their army won’t amount much to the alliance . The combination of Ezemeria and Tosuminia army are more than enough to take down Faskurn .
But the problem now is that a part of Tosuminia’s force is concentrated in this fortress unable to move . Even if they won the 1st engagement, no one can guarantee that Faskurn won’t send another force towards them . Even if Tosuminia army forcefully deploy themselves, they don’t have any intelligence of Faskurn side . That, and added with the ferocity of the Black Knights, Tosuminia army is facing a high risk of being obliterated .
So Tosuminia army is fallen under Faskurn side stratagem just as they planned .
But if they waste more time, then Ezemeria will definitely perish .
And if that happened, their full force will definitely aim for Tosuminia . If Tosuminia is attacked from both Faskurn and Ezemeria front, then there will be nothing they can do to fight against it .
If they have to act, they must do it now .
Renya is thinking how he can use his power in the most effective way .
But his method is not tied down with common sense .
Nor the enemy is worthy to be treated politely by him .
This existence that appear here is the incarnation of power, the symbol of absurdity .
This existence could even, on a whim, create an island, create new life, or destroy everything . A pillar which have the name of something that represent omniscience and omnipotence, a ‘God’ .
Renya thinks that ---- it’s about time for him to show off his privilege .
“Eugene-san, the present you isn’t even a knight”
“ . . . . . . That is correct”
“But even so ---- Are you still gonna fight?”
“ . . . . . . Because of me, there are other people that will be stigmatized as criminal . There is also dirty hands that tried to reach my loved one . This self is no longer a knight serving a kingdom . This self is just a stupid man fighting for the sake of his promise”
He had lost his subordinate, peerage, and even betrayed by his own kingdom yet how can the light in his eyes still feel ‘alive’? Renya is simply amazed by this . In this part, Renya feels that even he himself who had lived for more than a century still couldn’t beat Eugene .
Renya doesn’t feel any possibility of betrayal or entrapment . At the very least, he concludes that Eugene doesn’t seem to have any intention of doing that .
Well, for Tosuminia side, Eugene’s wish is not something that they need to be concerned off .
But right now, he is the one with the most knowledge about Faskurn’s geography . If Tosuminia could use him, they could easily get information about Faskurn .
Being used of has a negative impression on it but the existence of Eugene could theoretically make Tosuminia side gains the advantage in the war .
“Commander, I have a suggestion”
“Let’s hear it”
“My party will go to Ezemeria for a bit to reinforce them . If I were to continue straight on to attack Faskurn in return, would it be a problem?”
“ . . . . . . Renya dono, you just skipped a lot of things there . . . . . . ”
Before he asked problem or not, he should first be asked whether he could do it or not . But before the commander could finish his words, Renya gives out a smile of confidence and says:
“I wouldn’t propose of something that I can’t do . Anyway Tosuminia is already dividing the troop to send as Ezemeria reinforcement right? So I will be going along with them to help Ezemeria side and repel back Faskurn forces . Once we managed to repel back Faskurn forces, the alliance army could counter attack Faskurn and at that time, Tosuminia forces that defend this fortress should also join the offense . With that we can create a simple pincer attack towards Faskurn”
“Well, the strategy is indeed simple to say . . . . . . ”
“The pivot of Faskurn’s war tactic is the Black Knight unit . Because of their overwhelming power, Faskurn could simply force their way in and achieve victory in the shortest time . But at the same time, if we can destroy that pivot, the rest are brittle . Just like what happened here when I single-handedly crush those Black Knights”
“ . . . . . . Can you really do it?”
“Do you think I can’t?”
After witnessing that lightning attack from before, how could the commander doubt Renya’s capabilities?
Renya just keep looking at the commander and Eugene who are flabbergasted . The commander managed to regain his cool soon after .
“Understood . Currently Tosuminia’s forces should have already start their advance toward Ezemeria border . I will relay the information I have here towards that unit’s commander via magic crystal . You should tell her the detail later”
“What pretext should I use when counter-invading Faskurn?”
“I have already reported the aggression on our fortress border to the capital . The higher up reply for the pretext would be ‘Because they keep ignoring our warning, added with the matter with Ezemeria, our kingdom need to push our army forward to reach Faskurn’s capital in the least lest they won’t even willing to have a talk with us’”
“The explanation for Ezemeria?”
“They already know that we would send them reinforcement so . . . . . . Anyway, the people of Ezemeria is mostly broad minded so if you appear together with our army, they probably would not make things to hard for you”
“Well even if they don’t believe us, I will go destroy Faskurn by myself anyway”
“You have all the right to boast as you really do have the ability . Even I am scared of you”
“And you, as a defeated soldier, I will have you act as our guide in the coming war”
“ . . . . . . Is that alright with you?”
“Indeed bringing a deserted soldier from the enemy side into the Ezemeria’s territory right now, considering their mental state, could bring some trouble for us but . . . . . . I personally wanted to respect your will”
Eugene is someone who once doubted his own kingdom while being worked for it which made him unable to show his full potential . In the end, because of a malicious underhanded means, he is carrying a stigma of treason .
