Chapter 104 (2/2)

“Are these two your attendants?”

Normally, when a young noble who controls a territory enters the army, he was always accompanied by an escort or an attendant.

In order to finish the military service safely, it was customary to see that they were convenient in the military.

It was because they wanted him back safely.

‘One knight and one wizard?’ Thought the Count.

He felt the energy of the man who was wearing the knight’s uniform and from the one who has covered the entire body with a white robe.

The two couldn’t be ignored.

“There have been a lot of works going on, so I couldn’t bring in a lot of people.”

“Is that so? If that is the case, you can’t bring many.” The Count responded to Luke’s words.

He nodded and asked again,

“When I look at you, you seem like the first generation Rakan.”

“My father?” asked Luke.

“Yes, he and I were comrades who fought on the same field.”

Luke’s father had died seven years ago in the war that had happened with the Volga Republic.

He too tried to revive the fallen fame of the family but had died.

“Your father and I didn’t share the same unit, but we were still close mates. The first time we met was in the capital barracks assembled for war. During that time your father…”

Count Naiman began to tell Luke the story about his father with dull eyes.

Luke pretended to listen, however, his heart had no intention to hear.

It was because he had no memories of the first generation Rakan.

The body did belong to Luke, but the soul was of Saymon, so the response was completely natural.

The more he listened to Count’s story, the more he understood it.

That was…

‘This man. He is surely related to the death of the first generation.’

They weren’t in the same unit, but he knew more than he had to about how the warrior had died.

Luke’s father had been trapped and then killed.

Those thoughts made Luke feel glad.

‘I’ll grant you the revenge.’ Thought Luke.

At that time, Count Naiman, who was done with his story about the father, spoke again with a faint smile,

“I want to help you, who has your father’s face. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”

Luke held himself back from asking anything.

He remembered the story that Philip had told him a while back in the wagon.

‘Torlot’s logistical support is a mess right?’ Luke thought to himself.

“I need you to provide me with consumables such as clothing, military gun powder, and large-caliber artillery shells.”

In his heart, Luke wanted to ask for the support of the Gigants.

However, Luke wouldn’t be able to hand over 30,000 gold for combat yearly.

So he asked what was needed the most.

“And that will be all?” Asked by the Count.

The Count just found Luke very strange because of the request he placed.

If Luke would have asked for a Gigant to support, then he would have used it as an excuse and not support Luke with anything.

But when he mentioned the other things, he had no other option but to accept it at once.

“That would be enough. And I want to take the goods and the permit for the other equipment to the military right now so that they could be moved through the trailer.” Said Luke.

“Okay, we’ll get you all prepped up right away.”

Count Naiman created a permit on spot to approve the trailer.

The gunpowder and the artillery shells were being sent.

“Thank you so much for the attention you have given to us, Sir.”

“I can do that much.”

After having a few more words, Luke had been formally enlisted.

And Luke left the Northern Command office.

“He isn’t like the usual ones.”

The mouth of the Count opened as he watched Luke’s wagon and the trailer left.

He had heard rumors about the war with Count Monarch.

The appearance and presence of Luke, however, seemed to be much greater than the rumors.

It wasn’t just force. He knew how to deal with people. Which meant that he was smart.

The two attendants who accompanied Luke seemed very daunting.

They were face to face with the commander who moved 10,000 troops and yet was relaxed, and the shock and uncanny feeling he felt when he saw the three was very strong.

They weren’t the skills that could be found so easily in the current world.

“I wanted to know why the Majesty was so concerned about it. The weeds must be plucked before they grow bigger.”

After dealing with the father, he was going to deal with the son. And the thought made the Count smirk.
