My Lucky Encounter From the Game Turned Into Reality - Chapter 107
The coincidence in the game becomes reality Episode 107
27. Civil war or Comte? (4)
Not long after the 2nd prince infiltrated the castle with the guerrilla troops.
“Where the fuck did you come from? “The crown prince ran away before it even started.”
The nobles of the Second Prince faction, including myself, had gathered at the Marquis Hammington’s Sky Fortress, the flagship and headquarters, waiting for news from the guerrilla unit. We were all greatly embarrassed when we received news from the guerrilla unit that the crown prince had disappeared.
From their perspective, catching the crown prince is the easiest solution.
But since that became impossible, we ended up having to choose the second option.
If the first option is to capture the crown prince in order to end the battle for royal power with as little damage as possible, the second option is to capture the king.
“If the Crown Prince ran away, didn’t His Majesty also run away?”
“If that happens, things get messy.”
“It becomes inevitable that a large-scale war will break out.”
In the end, it is a fight for the throne.
If the crown prince is removed, there is no need for even that justification, but if a situation arises where a confrontation with the crown prince arises, the king must be taken into account.
If they go to war with the crown prince without even securing the king, they will be nothing more or less than rebels.
Because of this, everyone looked nervous.
“Oh oh! is it?”
How much time of silence had passed?
Commander Marquis Hammington, who was wearing a wireless earphone-shaped encrypted communication device on his ear, brightened when he received a call from a member of the guerrilla unit.
Even without saying anything, it was clear that plan 2 was successful.
“They say our Highness is attending you!”
And when the Marquis of Hammington was confirmed dead, the nobles of the Second Prince’s Army gathered at the headquarters cheered loudly.
“it’s okay!”
“Now all we have to do is persuade His Majesty the King to strip the first prince of his title as crown prince!”
“Do I really need to persuade you? Since His Majesty is in control, we can announce it as we wish! “As of now, you can think of the title of Crown Prince as referring to His Highness Luke!”
“Oh, now that I think about it, I see.”
I laughed out loud as I saw people reacting as if the battle for the throne had already ended.
We don’t know what kind of situation will arise from now on…
“Commander, this is not the time. Let’s move the troops to the capital quickly. “Once the Crown Prince finds out that we have secured His Majesty, he will surely send a relief force.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The Marquis of Hammington followed the guidance of the Marquis of Trenton and nodded.
“Order the entire army! As of this time, we will break hiding and reveal our existence! The destination is Lionel, the capital of the kingdom! “It is our role to protect His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness Luke, the next King!”
It is too greedy to hope that the enemy will not notice that the huge sky fortress is moving.
Therefore, the gathering of the two princes faction is already well known to the crown prince faction.
Therefore, an army of nobles supporting the crown prince was quickly formed and gathered near the capital.
Since the distance from the capital was similar for both sides, the side that moved first took the capital.
Of course, considering the strength of the Capital Defense Forces, which are royalists, access will not be easy, but since they are protecting their master, the King, they will be able to enter without much hindrance.
‘It’s as planned.’
I covered my mouth with my hand and let out a satisfied laugh as I looked at the command staff full of anticipation.
“Is there something wrong with you?”
However, the Marquis of Hammington asked me if I looked like I was lost in thought.
In response, I waved my hand and gave a vague response.
“I was surprised that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ran away alone. “I didn’t know that he was a person who thought of himself as more important than his father.”
He nodded as if he sympathized with me seeing me like this.
“Well, doesn’t that mean it was that urgent? “That’s how humans are when faced with a life-threatening crisis.”
“okay.”
He must have been in a good mood, so he tapped my shoulder in a way that was unusually generous.
For your information, I didn’t feel sorry for him in a situation where betrayal was planned.
[Relationship: Practical / Temporary Alliance]
[Status: Murderous Intention / Relief]
This is because I confirmed through the Mangyeong that the Marquis of Hammington, along with the 2nd Prince I encountered yesterday, is showing murderous intent towards me.
They plan to use these humans to their heart’s content in the war and then dispose of me when their business is done.
“Now, you and Sir Klein will need your help to stop the First Prince’s troubles. “I can trust you, right?”
“Please just leave it to me.”
Even though I knew their intentions, I acted as kindly as possible.
That way, when you hit someone in the back of the head, the impact will be greater.
“hello?”
“Marquis Laurence?”
Therefore, I approached a person who was indifferently treating each other as if they were strangers, like cows and chickens, and spoke warmly.
“Now let’s gradually ease the hostility. How long are you going to show your indifferent attitude?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The person I spoke to was none other than Margrave Raven.
The guardian and biological father of Anna, my stepmother who tried to kill me several times.
Although he fell into decline when 40% of his troops were lost in the suicide attack I planned, he was an important figure in the Second Prince faction.
Margrave Raven looked nervous, as if he had never thought that someone would talk to him who was no different from his enemy.
It was natural that I was now bigger not only in status but also in power.
“Now that we’re on the same side, let’s forget about the past. “It’s not possible for an ally’s attack to come from the back of your head and hit you.”
“Who would do such a thing!”
The Marquis of Hammington said he had thought carefully about my actions and intervened like a teacher trying to stop his students from fighting.
“It’s not good for leaders within the same faction to have bad feelings between each other. “How about taking this opportunity to let go of your past feelings and envision a future together?”
Margrave Raven looked reluctant to the intervention of the commander, the Marquis Hammington, but since there were many eyes watching around him, he could not ignore it and nodded, saying he understood.
I also approached him with a smile and shook his hand, creating a truly friendly atmosphere in the headquarters, reminiscent of a victory party.
Following Margrave Raven, I went around and talked to people who could be considered enemies.
“Margrave Caskvel?”
“Haha… I didn’t expect Marquis Lawrence to speak to me first.”
“Count Brooks?”
“Did you find your car? “His Excellency the Marquis of Lawrence.”
Isabella’s father, Margrave Caskvel, the leader of the Iljinhoe, who bullied me to death during my school days, and Isabella’s confidant and partner, Philo’s father, Count Brooks.
It seemed as if they were reconciling with the future in mind.
Of course, I’m not trying to reconcile, I’m just trying to figure out their location.
“But there has been no further communication from the guerrilla unit?”
How long did the happy news last and the friendly atmosphere last?
The attention of those who were curious about the news from the royal castle turned to the Marquis of Hammington and the communication officer who had a coded communication network connected to the guerrilla unit.
The two attempted to contact the guerrilla unit members.
“huh?”
“Is there a problem?”
“Communication was interrupted…”
Because communication was blocked, it was impossible to find out the situation in Wangseong.
Communication jamming is similar to teleportation jamming, but it is not a technique always used on the battlefield.
The reason is that communication equipment in this world uses mana in the air as a signal, so if you use communication interference magic, everyone will be unable to communicate without distinction.
“Are you saying even the encryption equipment was blocked?”
“Encryption equipment is intended to prevent wiretapping, not as a means of communicating through communication interference.”
“Then you’re in trouble.”
“I think the 1st prince may have been caught in the middle of something.”
For your information, I also had to be quite embarrassed by the communication interruption.
The reason is because this was not part of the operation.
Shouldn’t this side also be able to contact the other side to measure the timing of betrayal?
Not only me and the Marquis of Trenton, who had other plans, but everyone in the headquarters was taken aback.
‘There’s a problem.’
Because of this, I could see that an unexpected problem had arisen in the royal castle.
I tried to contact Arsia using telepathic magic.
But telepathy didn’t work either.
In the first place, it was natural because communication magic itself was based on telepathy.
‘Could it really have appeared? What is the king’s hidden military power?’
Otherwise, I couldn’t understand the current situation.
This only increases confusion and increases vigilance on both sides.
However, if someone takes out a card that should be hidden, the story is different.
‘Negro!’
In my case, even if telepathy and communication are blocked, there is a way to check Arsia’s situation.
This is because the Black Eagle was placed around Arcia.
Black Eagle, which has vision sharing skills and magic sharing skills, is like a reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jet.
I used clairvoyance with the shared magic skill and looked into the king’s office with the shared vision skill.
‘Could it really have been there?’
And I was able to clearly see what was happening inside.
The existence of a black knight who protects the king and slaughters guerrilla troops.
Although you cannot use the Mangeung’s function if you observe the enemy through shared vision, you can easily identify the opponent’s state through the sword technique without having to use the Mangyeong.
‘What about Arcia? You’re safe. thank god.’
I landed the Black Eagle on the balcony of the busy office and caught Arcia’s attention.
Arcia, who is quick-witted, immediately made eye contact with Black Eagle.
There was no need to write or talk using magic.
Arcia can do her job with peace of mind just by letting her know that I understand her situation.
‘If it’s dangerous, surrender immediately.’
Arcia will operate based on these rules established previously.
Now is the time for me to decide.
In a situation where communication is cut off, will they act arbitrarily without instructions from the crown prince?
Or will we wait for the crown prince’s next move and observe the situation?
After thinking about it for a while, I quickly decided.
‘It doesn’t suit my temper to just watch.’
I immediately moved Black Eagle to a secret location in the royal castle.
This is to make the hidden standby troops move just in case.
“Let’s prepare for battle first. “Let’s all go back to our heavenly planets.”
When people tried to move according to the Marquis of Hammington’s instructions, I stopped them.
Once they were scattered to their respective sky fortresses, it was not easy to respond afterwards.
“If we are scattered, communication will only become more difficult because we will not be able to communicate. “It won’t be too late to check the situation here in detail and then move on.”
I proposed to the Marquess of Hammington.
“Don’t do that, just give me a chance.”
“Opportunity?”
In a situation where everyone was confused, he tilted his head at my unexpected request.
“I will re-infiltrate the capital with my elite men.”
The Marquis of Hammington opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then began to worry.
This is because of the common sense judgment that I, as the second-in-command, need to leave my position.
“You seem to have forgotten, but I am not an ordinary wizard. He is a battle mage with fighting power that is not inferior to even an Auror Master-level Vanguard. In addition, I am also an archmage, so if your majesty is in trouble, there is no support force like me.”
The statement, ‘Something may have happened to the second prince,’ rekindles anxiety.
The confused nobles of the Second Prince faction spoke to the Marquis of Hammington, who was still worried even though there was nothing he could do about it.
“Please accept Marquis Laurence’s loyalty to personally take risks.”
“you’re right. “Marquis Lawrence has close combat abilities that are unrivaled even against Aura Masters and has the characteristics of an archmage, so he is the best card we can play in an unexpected situation.”
“Please send it.”
At the urging of the nobles, the commander, the Marquis Hammington, had no choice but to give in.
“I’ll attach the most elite knights.”
“no. “I feel comfortable with subordinates who have good hands and feet.”
“is it?”
“I think just three people will be enough. “You can call them to headquarters.”
Anyway, there was an archmage and a lot of vanguards here, so there was no question about bringing in just three knights.
“good. “I will direct the operation myself.”
“Then, please disable the teleportation blocking spell for a moment.”
“I understand.”
I used teleportation to send an administrator who had followed me as an adjutant to the Sky Fortress under the Marquis Lawrence.
It looked like he had gone to call him directly because there was no communication, but the conclusion was that it was a fake.
The three knights I mentioned were people hiding in the royal castle, and they had already contacted Black Eagle and received instructions.
-Paaah!
After a while, the knights appeared with a space movement effect.
Three knights wearing vanguard equipment made at the Reinharts Royal Magic Tower, not our Lawrence Magic Tower.
They were three Auror Masters on loan from the Republic of Prius.
“Aren’t we the Reinharts people? “Are they recruited from other countries?”
I laughed out loud at the Marquis of Hammington’s question.
I haven’t seen this guy like that, but he seems surprisingly naive.
“Margrave Raven, Margrave Caskvel, Count Brooks, where are you?”
“Huh? Are you here?”
“Here it is.”
“Did you find it?”
Everyone expressed their doubts as I looked for the three people while ignoring Marquis Hammington’s question, and I gave instructions to the Auror Masters of the Republic of Prius with an extremely happy expression.
“Let’s start by killing those three first.”
“yes!”
The three people who had volunteered to be my articles became blurred.
“What what?”
“Oops!”
“Ahh!”
At the same time, the screams of Margrave Raven and Margrave Caskvel, Count Brooks, rang out, and the headquarters fell dead silent.
I put my arm around the shoulder of the commander, the Marquess of Hammington, and uttered a line that was famous on Earth.
“You are already dead.”
