Chapter 130 (2/2)

“Does he really believe that the enemy would really surrender just like that?”

“Rather than that, why do we have to make the situation favorable to our enemies’ commander? He is just a decayed sloppy noble.”

“This is why wizards shouldn’t be assigned as Commanders.”

“Did you know that he led the army during the revolutionary period?”

Some of the knights were rolling their eyes as they heard about Meister Tyron’s achievements.

A red-haired knight slipped between the group and cooly asked them,

“How about we do this?”

“Do what?” Asked the group.

“The enemy won’t be alert because they know we are making false attacks. At that time, what if we do a surprise attack.”

“Hmm…”

“If we are lucky, we will be able to capture the Fortress at once. The first attack will be ours.”

At the suggestion of the red-haired knight, the knights felt a rush of adrenaline.

The red-haired knight blew the wind in the hearts of the knights and turned to another place.

He later wandered around the camp and quietly stirred up the other knights and officers who were displeased.

Then, in front of the barracks, he was forced to stop. It was because he had encountered a man who had the same appearance as himself.

However, the man who was near the barracks seemed to be more surprised.

“Wha, what are you?! A doppelganger…”

The red-haired knight looked around and flashed a purple light in his eyes.

The eyes of the ‘real’ red-haired knight, who was about to shout for help, soon turned hazy.

“That isn’t a big deal. You’re just surprised from seeing yourself in the mirror. Got it?”

“Surprised from seeing myself in the mirror… I was surprised from seeing myself in the mirror…”

All he said was the same words again and again. It was because of the brainwashing dark magic which was being performed on him.

After that, the red-haired knight went away and removed the spell from his body.

It was Luke de Rakan in his Imperial uniform.

“Will this much be enough? I don’t know if any more words need to be said for them to catch the tail.”

When Luke had visited the commander’s barracks the other day, he noticed that the Republic’s army forces weren’t well integrated.

Wanting to take advantage of it, he devised a plan to infiltrate the enemy camp while the dam was in construction. He gathered information and divided the enemy.

The current Republic Fortress Raid Forces consisted of 10,000 central troops and 50,000 directional soldiers—soldiers who formerly worked for the nobles.

Since the people were different, there were a few problems with the delivery and the execution of the commands.

In addition, the directional soldiers were very reluctant to hear orders from the Central officers of knights.

Nevertheless, there was something common for both sides, the desire to succeed.

They were very greedy about their titles and promotions, and there was a major unspoken competition among them.

Which was why Luke had snuck in and threw the bait, which immediately shook their minds and thought of forming an attacking unit.

“Now, I need to go back and prepare. And I need to make the final blow ready…” Said Luke to himself.

Luke hid himself using an invisibility spell. He then slowly left the enemy army camp and moved to his Fortress.
