Running Away From The Hero!

Moaning comes from everywhere.

The situation in front of me was an unthinkable result.

“I can't believe we're not getting along with the Kingdom of Mercia, but we're not going to attack without declaring war. ”

“I see. ”

Border warfare, crossing borders in broad daylight.

Normally, it's a lot of blame.

“I don't think any other country cares. ”

“Everyone's busy living on their own. ”

If it was a one-on-one war between the Kingdom of Mercia and the Karean, the Kingdom of Mercia was the worst course of action.

Even though the kingdom of Mercia and a friendly place were noble societies, they could not support this behavior.

If only it had been the way it was.

“The continent's a shithole, so I guess I gave you a reason. ”

You nod at Ast's words.

“We have a single opponent, and we have to go out like dogs. ”

War is a place where life and death intersect.

It was not my intention to kill my subordinates with false pride where human nature was most prominent.

“Yes. We don't have to fight like humans to make them fight like dogs." ”

“Yes. If the enemy wants us to be dogs, we have to be dogs." ”

“If it's a fight we can't win, we can fight better like dogs. ”

“Of course. For us……. ”

The enemy abandoned the pride of the nobles and chose victory.

I don't know who the opponent is, but it was a great choice.

Trading his honor for the best general in my country. This should be enough business.

But the enemy didn't know.

He was originally a man, but he dropped himself as an animal to win the war, but for us he was an animal from the beginning…….

“Because I have an astronaut. ”

“Because there is a king. ”

At the same time, names popped out of my mouth and Ast's.

“What does that mean? ”

“What do you mean, Your Majesty? ”

I frowned and looked at Ast, but Ast also looked like I might have made it.

I felt very bad and understood the meaning of what the other person said too well.

“I'm an ordinary person. ”

“I didn't think I was normal, but now I think you're being extraordinary. ”

“No way. Who is as special as you? ”

“I'll give it back literally. Ast, you're the most special person I've ever seen. ”

He said that even dragons don't know what people are doing.

No matter what anyone says, Ast is a special human being.

Of course it's not special in a good way, but something special is certain.

“I expect a lot from you, Ast. There's got to be something you can do this time. ”

It doesn't matter if you're lucky or not.

Any master of dog fights won't stand a chance against Ast.

“Do whatever you want. I'll talk to the other guys and get them working on it. ”

“Why me? ”

“You're not the only one with talent. ”

I didn't see a talent who was just an astronaut when I turned a man's clothes upside down.

Not only did he usually make Leah angry, but he also made her angry at the swordsmith who didn't express her emotions well.

Even if the enemy is tougher than Leana's swordsman inspiration, Astra should be able to do it.

“You believe too much, don't you? There will be many talents better than me. ”

“No. There will be more talent than you, but there will be no talent. I'm sure.”

So make the most of that talent to the enemy.

I tried to say no to Ast, but what can I say? He is a peasant aristocrat from the Empire, and I am a royal.

“Well, if you don't like it... The Emperor's orders and the Exhibitor's orders will be violated at the same time. You know what that means, right? ”

“I will take your order……. ”

Ast was not a fool.

Knowing that I don't kill myself doesn't mean I open up in such an important place.

That way, you start preparing to face the enemies under Ast's command.

The beginning was the declaration of war.

# 49 Their Reason: A General's Reason

I gave up my pride.

I gave up my honor and my pride.

And yet I did not win.

But there was more to it than that.

You lost the battle over something like this, but you won the war.

My pride, my honor, my pride.

You can get by selling these three things.

It was the life of the enemy's Master Felstein.

He was truly considered to be the finest master of the Empire.

A surprise attack without a declaration of war.

Five times as many troops were able to swiftly sweep through enemies guarding the border and advance beyond unprepared walls.

I thought I could take down Pesra Castle by looking at the embarrassed soldiers.

But who would have thought?

It's all part of General Pelstein's plan.

He used his life as bait to lure us in and bomb his surroundings.

Attacks that may sacrifice themselves as well as their allies.

I had no idea that someone called the pillar of the empire would use such a method.

Thanks to this, our forces have been wiped out and our morale has fallen greatly.

However, after the bombing, we were able to eliminate General Felstein for a number pushed attack.

However, most of the enemy troops survived and returned.

What about our troops?

The troops that were five times as numerous as the enemy are now barely twice as many.

Not compared to the original number of enemy troops, but to the decreasing number of enemy troops.

Only one of the five forces survived.

What would have happened if he had fought him fair and square?

I heard Empress 1st of the Karean Empire is sending reinforcements. What if the reinforcements were to join her?

I would never have won.

The Kingdom of Mercia will be trampled on by the Karean Empire.

So I'm satisfied.

I've lost, but I'm happy to say I killed General Pelstine.

It's because I don't think there's another master.

“General!”

As I was making my next move, one of my men rushed into my office.

“What's going on? ”

“The first Empress of the Caran Empire has arrived! ”

“Is that so…? ”

Very poor

I'm not afraid of the First Lady of the Karean Empire. But his army was very scary.

Jill for vagina, sheep for sheep. An invisible army falls.

It was an army that included the Swordmaster as well as the Madosans and the Magic Legions.

What if there was a similar level of commander there, even if not as General Pelstine?

“That's terrible.”

You've lost too much in return for one Felstein general.

I thought I had more value than the men I'd lost, but it was also worthless if I lost the war.

So I had to be careful.

If the enemy commander was a commander of a similar level to General Felstein, we had to call in more troops to the Kingdom.

The user should keep a quiet eye on the target and keep an eye on it.

For the first time since a few days, there have been reactions in the enemy country.

He gave his letter to allied prisoners, not lions.

“What's the status of the returned soldier? ”

“Seems like a lot of torture. He's still trembling with fear, and there's no trace of him left. ”

“Did you torture him with psychic magic? ”

“There are no magicians, but when the wizards and the magicians checked their condition, there were no signs of magic at all. ”

Enemy forces have excellent torture technicians.

You can turn a soldier into a deserter with no injuries left on his body.

“Empress 1st's army was more fearsome than I thought. ”

1I heard that the Empress' army was basically an army built to protect her, but it was false information.

Even though the Emperor of the Karean Empire has only shown such a disruptive march, how can he put an Advisor in his daughter's defense?

Nothing.

There can be no parents in a 12-year-old girl's escort with a torture technician.

Common sense suggests she may have reinforced specialist personnel in the Empress's army, but there may be other reasons for emperors.

Yes. It is possible that the Emperor has created a special army inside the Imperial Court to make the Emperor's escort necessary to strengthen the Emperor's empire.

It is because they did not give such an army to all the royal families.

“Trouble. ”

An army that is more professional than one might think.

There can be no shortage of such military commanders.

I took out the enemy commander's letter considering whether I should send a request for assistance to my home country as well.

< How are your parents? >

In the first sentence, I see an article asking how my parents are.

“What is this? ”

It was not a problem with the content. No, it was a letter full of manners.

It was a polite letter that did not appear to have been killed by a cowardly means.

It was a letter pointing out my faults one by one, keeping my example as a nobleman.

A letter completely different from what I expected when I thought of offensive content full of profanity.

And the next day, another prisoner was released with a letter.

< Does your mother live comfortably? >

This is how the first sentence began.

It was so polite, just like the day before, but I felt strangely bad.

And once a day, prisoners and letters arrived.

< Did your father sleep well last night? >

< Is your grandfather still alive? >

< I wonder if your parents are still in peace today. >

< May your family have peace. >

“What the fuck! ”

At first, I thought it was just a formality.

If I didn't start with this sentence, I also wondered whether I could not write.

“Calm down, General! ”

“You're so interested in other people's family history! ”

“General!”

But the more time went by, the more my family's stories in the letters that came in every day, the weirder I felt and the angrier I began to get.

“Huff... ”

The men who soothe me who tear my letters to shreds today.

Thanks to such subordinates, I could barely hold my mind.

“Did you recognize the person who sent this letter? ”

“The enemy said Astra. ”

“A peasant nobleman who has seen the plot of Duke Religious? ”

“That's right.”

“He sent you? ”

“I said it was solid information. ”

I heard that he was a commoner but earned his title at an unprecedented rate within the Karean Empire.

I've only been a baron for a few years, and I've been told it's not uncommon to run away as a baron at any time.

“If you look at the form of writing or sentences, you can see that you are a person who has a long professional education, but you don't think you are from an ordinary citizen.... ”

He was chosen by the Empress 1st to become an Imperial servant.

Even if I brought him here to do some work, he must have received professional training as much as he is a servant working in the imperial court, but there was not enough training to write this much.

... except for the first sentence, of course.

“Perhaps it has something to do with the birth of an Astra. ”

“From?”

“Yes. He is a figure of the Harken Empire, which was destroyed after inflicting prejudice on the Empire, not the Empire." ”

“Does the kingdom of Harken have a custom of asking about family greetings when sending letters? ”

“Isn't it possible? ”

“Hmm……. ”

It was possible.

There are many kingdoms in the world, and there are different cultures.

If it's an empire or a great kingdom, there could be a culture that no one knows the name of.

The day after that, Astra sent us a new letter as if we were wrong.

< I heard your father cheated on you with a young woman, but how is your mother? >

“I'll kill you! ”

“Here you go, General! ”

A sure letter that's been making fun of us all along.
