Running Away From The Hero!

What's this?

“Your Grace... I have sinned against my will. Forgive me……. ”

I looked down at the asphalt on the ground with complications.

“Ast, you commit about five deaths a day on average... but not this time. ”

Rather, it was to be praised.

“What's wrong with you? ”

“Please, just the title... …. ”

Oh, I see.

“I never thought calling Earl Ast would work so well.... ”

It would be nice if he would listen to me like this.

I have to kill this one to save it.I can't wait to build a ball.

“Put a lot of balls forward. ”

“Absolutely not. ”

I'm dying because I can't stand the others, but I can't stand the astronaut.

“What should I call this, Leah? ”

“I guess I should just say" Sir Ast. "”

Leah's words are cold, and I nod.

“Yes. That's astonishing. ”

No one but Ast can make Leah so cold with a clear expression of emotion.

“Then, the promotion...? ”

I gave an honest answer to Ast, who was looking up.

“Actually, the Earl may not be enough. ”

An innocent nobleman, perhaps, came from a commoner just a few years after he became a nobleman.

It's very unusual to become a nobleman in just a few years, but I've only just begun.

“I'm sorry, but there's a nobleman's situation. ”

“Okay, that's it. I hope it continues. ”

He's a strange one.

“It'll probably end with a reward. ”

“Excellent. I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look at it. ”

As soon as the word "prize" comes out, it becomes greedy eyes.

“... Why do you like money and not position? ”

Power and money are inseparable, but this is the reaction.

“The more money you have, the better, but the higher the position, the more annoying it is. ”

“It's annoying, but isn't there something you can get? ”

“That's a different standard for everyone. My goal is to live a little less comfortably. ”

I couldn't understand.

“Wouldn't it be easier to be a nobleman? ”

“There's too much to do living as a nobleman. ”

“Is that so?"

“It's because you're special. The other royals are meeting with various nobles through banquets every day. ”

“Lord Ast is right this time. Unlike other royalty, you have very little activity. ”

Leah also says that Ast was right this time.

“Do I really have to say the word 'just this once’, Lord Leah? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Isn't that too decisive? ”

I think Ast was slightly hurt by Leah's attitude, but I decided not to worry about what he usually did to Leah.

“Thanks to Ast, we were able to quickly defeat the enemy's vanguard. General Felstein will be pleased with this. ”

His soldiers who pledged their vengeance could have been somewhat futile, but that's what war is all about.

Soldiers will be satisfied that they can achieve their desired goal without fighting.

“There was no declaration of war, but it was more than that. Should we attack to make it up to you? ”

“No way! War is bad, Your Grace. Peace is the best!”

“Are you still saying that? You've already blown the peace with your hands. ”

It was the worst enemy in any sense to the Kingdom of Mercia.

Ast discovered that those who were secretly assassinating the Missionaries were the Kingdom of Mercia, and he rescued the High Elves, presumably abducted from it.

It was Ast who killed the first movers of the Kingdom of Mercia this time.

“Well, I can't.... ”

“Give it up. It's too late. ”

Ast was frustrated, I said.

You duck your head and mutter something in a dark voice, then suddenly get up from your seat and shout.

“I want peace and the world won't let me! ”

“Not at all. ”

“I don't think so, Lord Ast. ”

Ast touched the still world first, I think.

“As I said, peace is for the taking. Love and Piece, No Power and Piece! ”

“Can you speak the human language, Ast? ”

“Yes, I don't understand what you're saying. ”

He was an astronaut who often spoke continental languages but could not understand them.

The language of any country as big as I could understand was so strange and complex that I could not even conquer the ASTR language.

“It's simple. You can use your strength to make peace. ”

Isn't it hard to understand even after listening to the interpretation?

“Keep it simple. ”

“If I cannot have peace because of the Kingdom of Mercia, will I not be able to live in peace once it is gone?" ”

“You, you can't be... ”

It was always an asthmatic idea that no one else could think of, but this time it was too bad.

“Yes, it is. If the Kingdom of Mercia is destroyed, we can live a peaceful life. ”

I couldn't look at Ast proudly shouting for Power and Piece.

“Leah, what did I just hear? ”

“You heard the horseshit, Your Grace. ”

Leah's answer was to look at Ast with a slightly wide mouth and a blank expression.

Perhaps my expression won't be that different from Leah's.

“Ast, don't you know how powerful the kingdom of Mercia is? ”

It was the Kingdom of Mercia that was defeated despite the many military raids, but it was because of the longevity skills of the longevity who had never heard of it.

It is clear that you are still a less-trained commander, just by running away angry at Ast's provocation.

That commander killed General Felstein.

No matter how large and ambushed, it also meant the enemy was fearful enough that General Felstein judged he couldn't defend the defense line without risking his life.

“Don't underestimate the Kingdom of Mercia. ”

“Yes, there is no guarantee that winning this time will be easy. ”

This happened because the enemy had a large crowd that quickly broke through, and because they were distracted by the new Mado bombardment, the elite troops led by the right commanders had the strength not to fall behind the empire.

“No way. No one overestimates an enemy like me. ”

“So you have a plan? A plan to defeat the enemy? ”

Even after listening to me and Leah, Astor's proud expression doesn't go away.

Then there's got to be a way.

And the way to do that,

“Your Majesty, when you used to play strategic chess……. ”

“Why does it come out again? ”

Stories continue to be mentioned a few years ago. That's the story of when I was horribly devastated.

A memory that was so ugly that I didn't even know it.

Ast pulls out the memory mercilessly, smiling as he wants to strike.

“Why were you attacked then? ”

“Because I didn't think you'd write anything else. ”

There were only three reasons to continue using the same strategy.

One is when the opponent has no strategy known except that strategy.

And the other one has a very strong psychological response.

And lastly,

“You don't think the horse can stop the bombing? ”

The enemy had a strategy that could never be stopped.

“First of all, there was no retaliation. We have to keep using it until it doesn't work. ”

smiling, "If it doesn't work, why don't you think about it then? ’Ast's appearance gave him an unknown sense of trust, and rained a brutal rain on the Kingdom of Mercia, and lastly on Ast…….

“Congratulations. You could be the real Earl of Ast now." ”

“Shhhhh!”

Gives me a chance to rise.

# 56 Their Reason: A Villain's Reason

“Thank you, General! ”

“I'm not a general! ”

I looked behind the officer as he finished his greeting.

“You fools, please stop them. ”

It has been two months since you defeated the forefront of the Kingdom of Mercia. And during those two months, the borders of the Kingdom of Mercia have been devastated.

And that's what drives the Mado bombardment.

“If you know you can't block it with a magical barrier, you have to make a countermeasure! ”

I pulled out the report with my trembling hands.

< Successfully bombed the formation of the 10th Merdean Empire >

< Earl Torres, captain of the 10th Enemy and the annihilation of the 10th Legion Command >

< Defensive line destruction in the border area virtually due to the 10th annihilation >

“Leave it... ”

Just thinking about Love and Piece, or Power and Piece, I never imagined this would happen.

“This is all my specialty! ”

I learned from the organization that once a major like this emerges, the nobles of the upper class will not be able to promote anyone who specializes in metallurgy by eating it.

So I was comfortably beating up the Kingdom of Mercia, and suddenly I'm in the middle of a promotion to the Earldom!

“It's under the Empress.... ”

I had forgotten that I was a vassal of the Empress.

My supervisor was only a princess, and there was no evil nobleman to intercept her majors in the middle.

I was the one who came up with this bombing, and I was the one who came up with this plan.

Thanks to you, every time the bombing was successful, I was inspired.

“Who should I give it to next? ”

I owe it to everyone under me to share my accomplishments.

“Dammit! Did you give the officer class everything? Should I give it back as something similar? No, I'd rather share it with my deputies. ”

It wasn't easy to give a major.

Why are the officers here fighting in the battlefield with so much effort?

The first is for our Empress, who has suddenly entered the war, but the second is for her promotion.

Soldiers should be promoted.

The higher the promotion, the higher the salary, as well as the ability to do so, and the more subordinates who receive their orders.

And to get that promotion, you need an achievement. Will it be easy to build that achievement?

Of course it's hard except for me.

It's hard for people who really want it, but it's too easy for me.

I don't need this shit!

When this happens, the true Earl will become the target of intensive care for the empire and the organization.

What did the ancestors say about popping shrimps and whale fights?

If we keep up this rank, we will be intertwined between the Empire and two whales called Howling.

So I gave it to all the guys who wanted to study.

Fill out the paperwork hard and say, "Because this guy did this, this achievement is actually this guy! ’.'

I like that my specialty is reduced and that my subordinates have a chance to get promoted.

Everyone's happy endings are good, but this one isn't going to last much longer.

“Dammit! We need a breakthrough. ”

I can't believe the great military empire of Mercia can't handle this kind of work.

In my mind, I wanted to sell the Mado Bombardment defense items developed by the Empire to the Kingdom of Mercia.

If I could sell it, I wouldn't lose 10 times the cost as a sundrier!

“Huh?"

The concerns about whether to talk to the organization and make a deal in advance disappeared quickly.

“This……. ”

A huge image that you can feel as you read the contents of the report.

Like when the Urxers found the shadow of TAX, I was able to find a tremendous presence in the report.

And the next day.

“Your Majesty, this is Ast. ”

“Come in.”

Early morning without any other military personnel.

Only me and Lord Leah can rule you!

“Would you look at this? ”

I took this opportunity to show the Empress the greatest painting of this war.

“This……. ”

“Do you understand what this means, Your Majesty? ”

The princess who understood the content quickly opened her eyes wide.

“Leah... look at this. ”

I couldn't make it to PPT because I didn't have PowerX, but the graphs I made all night were telling me one thing.

“What is this? ”

“These are the death statistics for battles across the Kingdom of Mercia. ”

“Yes, they all look alike in comparison, but in fact, most of the massacres were unilateral to the Mado bombings. ”

“But there are those who die by numbers.... ”

What a princess.

Unlike Sir Leah, who still doesn't understand, he quickly learned the content of the report.

“Yes. Duke Relligius Luisa. ”

“You're giving command to the incompetent Duke of Lycia? Is the kingdom of Mercia over?" ”

Seeing His Majesty sigh, I said with a serious face.

“Your Majesty, this is an opportunity. ”

“What chance? ”

“Duke of General Religious Luisa, isn't it perfect? ”

“What kind of dog……. ”

The princess who frowned for a moment thought.

The princess's face changes with a variety of expressions as if she was thinking about something.

The last thing on that face was a very sinister smile.

“Duke General Religious Luisa. It's perfect.”

“Isn't that right? ”

“Hehe! Good. Do you have a plan?"

“Yes. First of all……. ”

Lord Leah didn't even understand, and the Empress and I began preparing a project to make Duke Leisha the General.
