Episode 111. The path of the prosecutor.
A dagger slipped from Pavlov’s sleeve and flew towards Theresa.
Sigh!
How could such an attack work with so many knights guarding it? This is clearly to check the level of our skills.
Pak.
I caught the dagger lightly.
“Don’t do anything useless.”
“what? “You’re faster than I thought.”
A confident expression.
Moreover, judging from the fact that they attacked us even though they knew we were Strange, it was clear that they were mercenaries commissioned by Rothschild or Glazer.
“It must have come from the west.”
“How did know?”
“Hand movements when throwing a knife. “It seemed like a throwing technique often used by assassins in the west.”
“… … .”
“I don’t remember exactly, but I heard that it was a group that carried out missions for the imperial family.”
Pavlov’s expression hardened at my answer. Who would have thought that by simply throwing a dagger once, he would find out where he came from and what he belonged to.
‘This kid is not normal.’
I thought he was just a guy who came from a good family and was good at swordsmanship.
“Angelina, I think we need to change our strategy. I think it would be difficult to take them both with me. “Let’s take just one.”
Pavlov looked at Kaipa and Theresa alternately. If this happens, Theresia, who is close to me, will be impossible to approach, so they will probably try to target Kaipa.
‘Take him with you if you can.’
Now he is not simply a knight guarding the frontier, but a ‘black hawk’ who leads Strange’s direct order of knights.
bang!
Angelina’s gun spouted fire.
When the rapidly spinning and flying bullet arrived in front of Kaipa, it seemed to move slowly for a moment and suddenly fell to the ground.
“… huh?”
Kaipa grinned at her. Obviously he didn’t move at all.
But the bullet couldn’t even reach him and he fell to the ground.
“To dare to try to target Strange with that kind of skill, it’s not just one move, it’s a hundred moves.”
Kaipa laughed and jumped towards where Angelina was. Her movements were so fast that it seemed as if she was flying over the ground.
Boom-
No, he didn’t just look like he did, he really flew over the ground. It may not be visible to others, but at his feet, ‘Sylphid’, the so-called wind fairy, was flapping its wings vigorously and keeping his body afloat.
This is ‘Bae Hu-spirit’ received from Verdin, one of the abilities given by the elementalist.
Flutter!
Kaipa’s blade struck Angelina’s gun barrel. With a dull sound, her stock split in half, sending her shock spreading out in all directions.
“evil!”
Angelina let go of the gun and fell backwards. Pavlov pulled out her two-handed ax, which she had hidden behind her cloak, to help her.
Sigh.
My blade touched his neck first.
“If you want to die, move.”
“… “I let my guard down.”
“absence? “So you’re saying that if you fight properly, you can defeat me?”
“of course. “If only I hadn’t looked away-”
I put away my sword, took a step back, and spoke to Pavlov.
“Then try again.”
The odds of him beating me are close to zero.
I don’t know what kind of abilities Bae Hu-ryeong has, or even if he exists, but it’s impossible to beat me right now.
“Aaaah!”
He rotated his body strongly and swung the axe. The movement was quite fast for a two-handed weapon, and the trajectory of the blade was aimed at my sword rather than my body.
Sigh.
Instead of responding, I took a step back, then lunged forward again and struck his side with the sheath of my sword.
Pop!
It hit the liver exactly.
Since he was wearing clothes made of cloth rather than armor made of iron, it was difficult to block all the shock.
“Wow!”
Saliva burst out of Pavlov’s mouth. Without stopping, I hit the solar plexus with my fist.
puck.
He kicked his thigh with the tip of his boot, causing him to kneel.
dump.
“There’s no need to draw a weapon?”
Pavlov glared at me with bloodshot eyes.
“These damn guys.”
“Still, it was a good attempt. I never thought he would read my movements and aim for a weapon. “If the enemy wasn’t me, I would definitely have succeeded.”
“… … .”
“That woman is also quite good at shooting a gun. “With the skills you two have, you can probably be considered high-level assassins, right?”
The game is over.
Pavlov and Angelina also know that they will not win. So it seemed like he probably made this choice.
Crack.

They bit into something they had hidden in their mouths. As seconds passed, Pavlov rolled over his eyes and collapsed, and Angelina remained motionless and squirted blood.
Phew!
Anyone who fails to assassinate is just trash. The assassin group they belong to, the ‘Scorpions’, called Desert Storm.
“Theresia.”
Theresia chanted a recovery spell toward the two as if she had been waiting. They were forced to wake up just before death.
“Cough!”
“Wow!”
We were able to bring in two people who could be used as witnesses to declare this war.

Clark, one of the five generals, had a bitter taste in his mouth.
“Damn it! “What are you going to do if those idiots get caught here now?”
Wendy, who was hanging on his back, stuck her head out and asked.
“That and that are the Numbers who work under Albus, right?”
“okay. Looking at their skills, I think they are from the 10th division. “I don’t know what kind of confidence you had to attack Strange.”
“… I guess they just attacked me because I lack skills. “If you knew that little boy was stronger than his master, would he have done something like that?”
The two frowned as they watched Numbers being captured by Verdin.
Clark was so angry that he failed to control his emotions and accidentally let his Aura leak out of his body.
Wendy gently massaged his shoulder and whispered.
“Be careful, you can get caught on this street.”
“Whoa-”
“What should I do anyway? “There are so many knights that it would be difficult to rescue them.”
“What should I do? “We should just leave it alone.”
“Just leave it alone? Then you will know that we are moving with the Rothschilds.”
Clark was worried.
If Numbers is lost to Strange as is, it will be known that the Pope and Rothschild have joined hands.
Then, Glaser, who will be working hand in hand with Rothschild, will be implicated in this matter.
If the incident is viewed incorrectly, there will be rumors that the three alliances joined hands to destroy Strange.
“Damn it.”
This would create an opportunity for the emperor to refuse war under the pretext of ‘preserving peace.’
In the worst case, the Imperial Army may fight on Strange’s side.
“Those idiots!”
“Clarke, calm down and let’s do this.”
“what?”
“Anyway, if things turn out like this, it’s impossible to get them out, right?”
Wendy spoke with a skull on her head.
“Let’s kill those two.”
“Numbers?”
“huh! Anyway, Verdin doesn’t know that Albus is behind those two, right? Then they won’t be hostile to us.”
Clark rested his chin and thought for a while before asking a question.
“What if I get caught?”
“Is that possible? “We also joined hands in the Legion.”
“… Actually, that’s true.”
“Just stop pretending and pretend to help and join us. Let’s take advantage of the opportunity and kill him. “If I get the chance, I’ll take that guy named Kaifa and Theresia and run away.”
“You won’t fail, right?”
“never! Think carefully. Rather, it worked out well. “If we hadn’t arrived here now, we wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”
The two exchanged glances with each other.
Then, he slowly pursued the Strange unit and narrowed the distance between them.

On the way back to Castle Strange.
I talked with Kaipa about the future war.
“There are too many enemies. I knew that the Rothschilds were going to war with the Glazers. “It’s moving faster than I thought.”
Kaipa must have fought more wars than me in his youth. Even if I were reborn, I would have lived less than that in both my past and present lives.
That’s why I deliberately talked about this issue as if it were a throwaway message.
Because I thought good ideas could come from the head of a veteran.
“Doesn’t the head of the family know how to win against them anyway?”
Of course, I had planned a way to beat them. If everything goes according to plan, there will be no failure.
‘but.’
I wanted to hear Kaipa’s thoughts. What kind of strategy will come out of his head?
“What I want is not just victory over the enemy.”
“sure?”
“Through this opportunity, we will never be able to raise our heads against Strange again. “I plan to put complete fear into their minds.”
Kaipa blinked for a few seconds without changing his expression, then burst into laughter and hit his forehead with his palm.
“The master, or rather the matriarch, really looks just like Lois.”
“Is that so.”
“Yes, I keep thinking of the person I saw when I was young.”
Even until last year, if I had heard this story, I would have been furious.
Because the misunderstandings and broken trust I had with my father in my past life had planted seeds of anger deep in my heart.
‘but.’
Not anymore.
Even when I was told that I looked like him, I was able to remain calm like a quiet lake.
“Because it’s my son.”
“If Lois were alive, she would be very proud of this.”
“is it so?”
“Yes, the matriarch is the only child Lois has ever boasted about to me.”
“Did your father brag about me to Lord Kaipa?”
“That’s right. “It is Strange’s future and his own mirror.”
Siegfried scratched the bridge of his nose and whispered.
“Fail, Strange’s hair shouldn’t be that emotional.”
I also thought the same thing.
The person in the position of head of the family must only show a cool-headed and strong appearance. In my past life, I learned and practiced that way.
‘No.’
Not only me, but my father too. Because I was able to understand his emotional side only in this life.
And that too through the mouth of a third party.
“okay.”
“Oops, the story went astray for a moment. To answer your question first… . “I think the faster the enemy moves, the better we have.”
“is it so?”
“Yes, according to what the matriarch said, Rothschild and Glazer joined hands. “If they were to unite, there would definitely be internal friction.”
Bingo, that’s the correct answer.
Even in a past life, it fell to us because of that problem. To be precise, it is not so much about us as it is about Gunther, who played a great role in the war against them.
We fought by breaking through the cracks of misunderstanding inside and taking only the enemy’s head.
“Then wait until the moment of friction occurs. If you dress up low-level mercenaries in Glaser’s uniform and have them attack Rothschild… .”
“You mean to make us not trust each other.”
Kaipa nodded briefly.
“That’s right. Instead, until then, we will have to deploy a slash-and-burn strategy.”
We talk about peace and prepare for war. It’s not desirable, but it’s the best way we can do it right now.
“Then let’s do it like this. “Glazer has not declared war yet, so deploy a slash-and-burn strategy.”
I raised my head, looked into the distance, and continued speaking.
“Tonight I declare war on Rothschild. “Let’s strike them first and show them what happens if they mess with Strange.”
Then, naturally, the radius of action of Rothschild’s army will decrease, so I can take advantage of that and take down each base one by one.
“It’s simple, right?”
“Yes, matriarch. However, there is no justification for us to declare war on Rothschild-”
“there is. “They tried to kill me, and they had evidence for it.”
“Is that so?!”
“So, Lord Kaipa, please prepare an envoy to send to Rothschild.”
The conversation about how to attack the enemy is over. It seemed like all preparations were completed perfectly.
But things in the world did not turn out the way I wanted.
One of the five generals who balance the world.
“Hello, Lord Verdin.”
Clark came to see me.
