Chapter 69: I Am the Young Lord 1
Kung Kung kung!
There were four Gigants crossing the wasteland of North into the Rakan.
“I think we have entered the land of Rakan by now?”
“Maybe the Rakan would fight with the Gigants.”
“Tch, if Rakan has been defeated in there, it is just less work for us.”
“That is true.”
Those Gigants, driven by the riders, with no trailers, belonged to the Count Monarch for infiltrating Rakan land.
These groups were sent by the Goth, without letting Cain know.
Originally, only a small number of knights had been dispatched to look into the enemy estate and search for the Shadow Knights.
However, when the war broke out, they decided to infiltrate the enemy from the back or to intentionally take over the Rakan manor in advance.
It was because they didn’t want the other nobles to intervene in the war because the opponent was weak.
Goth got permission from Count Monarch, organized the Gigant riders and divided them into separate groups and infiltrated the north of the Rakan.
And when the war broke out, he ordered them to head into the Rakan territory.
Thud!
“It is nice that Mileon could get back this time.”
“Huhu, I don’t know how many nights I could get sleep because of that.”
The leader of the four groups of Gigant was the rider of Achilles, Mileon.
He lost the credit the Monarch had on him because of the defeat he faced last time in the Gigant Arena in the hands of the Black Knight.
So when Goth was picking up the riders, he volunteered by putting the other works aside.
‘It was the Rakan who had taken the black knight?’
The main reason why he volunteered for the operation was that he learned of the news that the Black Knight, who defeated him, belonged to the Rakan territory.
According to Goth, the young Lord is likely to stay in the manor.
Since he didn’t have much fencing skills if he went into the battle and died, everything would be over.
If the young Lord remained in the manor, the knight, and the Black Knight was likely to be there.
‘Kukk, I’m going to trample him and kill him.’
The Gigants of the Rakan would have been placed to prevent an attack from the front.
This meant that the black knight, the lord’s designated knight would be Gigant-less.
In such a state, he could never beat Achilles.
“The permanent manor is almost ahead. Speed up!”
Mileon, imagining the brutal revenge scene looked back at the following Gigants.
At the orders, the 4 Gigants began to run at high speed.
Luke stared at the board in the office room of the manor.
On a large map of the situation board, the figurines of knights, Gigant knights, and the infantry were placed by giving one a glimpse of the current deployment of the forces.
Iron Mage Todd, approached Luke, who was watching the Yottern Canyon.
His friends Humphry and Gordon had followed Mute to support the Gigant forced, but Todd decided to remain here and conduct the communication magic.
“What is it?”
“I just got the news that the ambush happened and the battle has started.”
At those words, Luke nodded and asked Todd who’s face showed nervousness.
“Do you think we will win?”
“I… I don’t know.”
Todd wanted to say that they would lose, but he didn’t want to say things that would make him hated.
Luke smiled and spoke,
“From what I see, we will win.”
“Although the Monarch army had been taken by surprise, aren’t they high on power?”
Todd knew too.
The fact that Count Monarch and Rakan’s power difference was like an adult and a child.
“Huhu, that is true. But since I never lose when I use my hands.”
At the words from Luke, Todd couldn’t understand anything.
‘Isn’t the young Lord a little weird? Or did he have some kind of medicine overdose?’
Soon the lordship could be ruined too.
Whether he was weird or not, Luke looked out the window and opened his mouth.
“We might not suffer too much…”
If Sebastian did good work, then they might win.
What Luke worried about the most was the power and force of Rakan not to deplete.
Even if they were going to win the war with knights, riders or wizards, there was always a damage that was taken by the winning side too.
They couldn’t recruit people with their money, and not many were willing to come to the remote Rakan for the war.
‘If this war is won, then it would change everything.’
Luke was looking outside the window waiting to hear about the outcome of the battle.
Ding!?
