Chapter 75 Forest of the Black Tree (1)

Count Levi’s Oval Office.

The count and Henry were sitting opposite each other, and a cup of hot tea lay in front of each other.

It was the count who started the rhyme.

“So, what are you going to talk about?”

“Let me start with my guess.”

“Guess where the bandits are, or what?”

“No, it’s a more fundamental guess.”

“Fundamental.”

Sipping a sip of tea, Count Levi smiled excitedly.

“Let’s listen positively.”

“I think there’s an enemy inside.”

“I’m interested. What’s the basis?

“It’s the fact that the soldiers on this land have achieved nothing so far.”

“I think so. So, you know what you’re saying and you run away? Where are the territorial soldiers headed?”

“Yes.”

“I’m a little skeptical about that. If they did, my soldiers wouldn’t even be able to see the shadows of the bandits. It wasn’t good enough to know beforehand.”

“It must have been a shame.”

“What if it’s too bad?”

“I’m telling you the extent to which I feel that if I were a soldier, I could have caught at least one of them.”

“Well.”

The count pried his lips. On reflection with a nod, Henry was right.

“It may be a rude question.”

“It’s okay. Do it.”

“Is the Knights…… oh, is the Knights guarding something?”

“I don’t think you meant to ask that question. I’m sorry if I’m making a wild guess, but the size of the Knights is ten in total. It’s embarrassing to call it the Knights.”

“…….”

“At the level, the leader is a two-star, and the rest are one-star knights. I guess I got it right, didn’t I?”

“……Yes.”

Count Levi was a quick-witted but quick-witted.

Also, as Henry told viewers earlier, he was more of a man of merit than honor.

The count shrugged as if he was okay.

“Whatever you do is not rude as long as you solve the problem. It’s more of a blessing than it is.”

“Of course it’s something to do.”

“I’m not talking about how you feel, I’m talking about how I feel. Keep asking questions. Oh, what did the knights say they were guarding?”

“Yes.”

“Simple. Protect the castle. Everything worth the money is here. A certificate of ownership of a mine, a considerable amount of gold coins, artifacts, or whatever.… you can guess, can’t

“Yes.”

“As you just said, I was actually in the middle of a conflict. Should I send an article? Then we can get a couple of bandits, right? One is not enough, is it? But to send all the Knights…….”

“The boundaries of this place will be weakened.”

“I mean, that’s why I didn’t expect anything from you. It’s not something you can solve with just one article. But like I said earlier.”

The count had an interesting look in his eyes.

“It’s a different story if you have that ability.”

A slight but reminder came out.

The reason why I missed the bandits so far was because they disappeared from my sight at some point when I was tracking them.

The count’s guards had to feel as if they had encountered an elf, the owner of the forest.

There was even a soldier asking if he had seen anything in vain.

“The expression of ability is too much. Just…….”

“Not being recognized doesn’t mean it’s gone. Anyway, we have two topics to talk about. An uncertain internal enemy and an obvious external enemy.”

After saying that, the count asked with a look that he would do anything for him.

“So, what kind of problem should we start with?”

***

“It’s very real. Thanks to you, the situation went smoothly. It’s natural that you’re in a hurry because it’s actually your territory, but I’m honestly surprised.”

Right after the conversation with the count.

Henry said on his way back to the training camp.

Count Levi was a truly unique human being.

For the aristocrat, he had no qualms about lowering himself, and he came forward to answer unpleasant questions first.

Of course it was good for Henry.

It’s easier to carry out the mission.

How many cases can a client be so cooperative?

“You’ve been here.”

Then Henry found people gathered in front of the command.

They were officers, including Muthai, the captain of the guard.

I was a little surprised by Henry’s appearance, but he wasn’t trying to hide anything.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“Fortunately, the conversation ended quickly. Youngjoo was very worried. Not only the bandit, but I also told the lord what I had told you earlier.”

“That…….”

Mutai, who was about to say, hesitated.

There were too many people to use the expression internal enemy.

“That’s right. You agreed.”

Henry nodded in affirmation and looked around the executives and said.

“But you are a lord, and you are you. If I could get your help with just one word of command, I wouldn’t have done this.”

“You know, in connection with him.”

“Yes, Captain Mutai.”

“We were about to close our own meeting. I and everyone else have decided to follow you. I mean, like you said, I mean it.”

“Thank you.”

“Honestly, I never thought someone like you would come.… Anyway, that’s a good thing. All my worries are gone.”

Speaking awkwardly, Mutai added.

“As you said, the deadline is five days. After that, I’ll follow orders, but I’ll do my best to carry out instructions for at least five days. All of us.”

“Enough.”

“Even if it’s not enough, if we think it’s worth it.…”

“No, five days will do.”

“Well, then.”

“I’ll have to move fast instead. To finish the work on time.”

“If you need me, I’m fine now. The soldiers had enough rest, and we didn’t mean to.”

“All right, then let’s just sort out one thing first.”

Henry put up his index finger.

Mutai and other security commanders focused on Henry.

“As of now, all command has been handed over to me. Is that right?”

“That’s right.”

“I’ll be the captain temporarily. Captain Mutai, please carry out the duties of the unit commander for five days.”

“…I see.”

“Five days from now.”

The executives looked rather embarrassed by the sudden flow.

But whatever.

Henry pushed ahead with the situation as planned.

“I won’t use honorifics to you. I will think, speak and act as captain of the Guards. Of course, you should do the same. Do you all agree?”

“…I will.”

Mutai replied awkwardly, and the executives nodded.

This was the beginning in earnest.

“Good, Rayleigh?”

“……Yes.”

“Get your entry records straight for the past week. Right now.”

“Yep.”

Reilly, who was a unit commander a while ago, ran somewhere.

To be honest, I wondered if this was right, but the situation was a situation.

Henry looked at the executive next to him again. It has been a long time since I memorized the names of the executives here.

“Hummel.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll give you a hundred soldiers. Make sure there’s an abnormal entrance around the estate. I’ll send Reilly to you when she gets back.”

“……an unusual entrance…”….”

“All human accessible passages, except doors.”

“Let’s go.”

The second executive ran out.

The remaining number is nine, including Mutai.

“The rest inspect the interior of the estate. First of all, Mithra, Kane.”

“Yes.”

“As of the central square…… No, a map would be better. Mutai.”

“…I’ll bring it.”

Mutai was no exception.

He rushed to the command, and soon came out with a neat map.

Henry crossed two lines on the map.

The map is neatly divided into four sections.

“Mitra and Kane are in charge of the North East. Walter and Stuart will be in charge of Southeast Asia, Evan and Ascon will be in charge of Southwest. Sean and Porter can take the last one. Take 50 soldiers each.”

“Yes, which part would you like me to check?”

“I think you know the face of the people of the country. I guess so?

“That’s right.”

“Find a face you’ve never seen before, or a change in your behavior. You don’t have to catch it. Just write it down.”

“Yes.”

Eight executives rushed out in unison. It was the direction of the soldiers’ accommodation.

There’s only one person left.

It was still him with an air of ambiguity, but it wasn’t a dissatisfactory face.

My face was full of doubts whether this was just how to do it.

“Mutai.”

“Yes.”

“How many soldiers are left?”

“Seven.”

“We go out of the compound with seven soldiers.”

“…I’ll get you ready.”

“Before that, I’d like to check your records. Are you in command?

“If you’re talking about a record of chasing bandits, it’s on my desk. I’ll get it ready right away.”

Mutai took the lead in the command.

I took some data out of the drawer and spread it on a wide table to make it easier to check.

“Do you need more?”

“No, it’s enough. Get your men ready.”

“…I see.”

Mutai left the command.

Clack.

The door closed, and a sigh of Mutai came from beyond.

“You must have a pretty complicated mind.”

Henry said with a grin.

It was actually a matter of course.

It was too shocking for a change to take place in a day.

But you’re a good boy for that.Lol][In fact, there are too many justifications here][What are you doing now?]

“We have to catch the bandits. I’ll find it rather than catch it. They know our situation, but we don’t. I need to figure out what’s going on first. And more than that.”

Henry grinned.

“Fortunately, I ‘clean’ the guards in a day, and I’m able to move. It’s a very encouraging situation. If you only deal well with the situation that’s going on.…oops.”

“Ah, what’s the rush?”

“Thank you for a million won. I didn’t mean to. Anyway, thank you, I’ll use it where it’s needed. It won’t be a dream to reach a three-star article soon.”

Of course I told you to listen.

His mission was to clear the guard in a day and start moving.

Also, if Henry knows the character of Oop-Oop.

[Fan ID] donated 10,000 won!>

It was natural to have another mission like now.

“Henry Camilton, if you do, my dictionary doesn’t say you refuse the mission.”

[Fan ID] donated 10,000 won!>

You said you’d catch a thief, right?”>

“I’m sure I’must catch it. In five days.”

[Fan ID] donated 10,000 won!>

“If you find your home within today, you’ll find 200. If you find it tomorrow, you’ll find 100.”

Right after the mission.

Henry checked the clock first.

It’s been a long time since lunch, and after a while, it’s time to call it early evening.

“……It’s getting more urgent.”

If it’s tomorrow, we only have seven hours left to find our home base within today.

Immediately.

“Let me concentrate.”

Henry almost stuck his nose in the data prepared by Mutai.

***

The Count of Levi was located in the eastern part of the kingdom, in the Heritz region.

a vast plain

There were advantages of being easy to farm, but there were disadvantages if it was difficult to prevent enemies due to geographical characteristics.

Thanks to this, the lords of Heritz tend to devote considerable energy to the outer boundary of the estate.

In particular, Count Levi was particularly severe.

The reason was simple.

“I can’t believe there was a forest like this in Heritz.”

It was because of the ‘forest of black trees’, located near the estate.

Heritz is definitely a plain, but that doesn’t mean that the entire area is vast.

Near the Earl of Levi, there was a considerable forest.

Thick-leaved trees are densely packed, and bushes everywhere tied the invaders’ feet.

“We call this place a swamp. The more I go in, the more I feel strange, and even if I find an enemy, I have to stumble along.”

“That’s what it looks like.”

Henry nodded at Mutai’s words.

From the moment I arrived here.

Henry’s eyes showed the constant flow of mana.

“It’s a place like this, so I’ve missed it over and over.”
