Chapter 21: Milton Overcomes A Wall (2)

Combat is the most important part of war, but that’s not all there is to it

There is also work to be done in the after to do in this instance…

“Louis Walker”

It was, of course, to handle the traitor

Wounds were visible all over Louis’ body as he was dragged in front of Nelson

Even still, his eyes were full of poison

Nelson watched Louis with a cold gaze as he spoke to him in a very business-like manner

“I dispose of you i with the Republic, negligence of duty, and or”

Louis shouted out with clenched teeth in response to Nelson’s words

“Don’t h! I’m the eldest son of House Walker How dare a commander of the border execute me! Do you think you’ll be safe from the repercussions?”

Louis was still delirious after co to Louis’ nonsense He instead lifted his chain sword and slowly made his way in front of Louis

Louis then cried out ently

“I’m Louis Walker! The eldest son of the Walker fa?! damn you, old man! If a blade touches my neck someone like you will…”

Sspaat!

Nelson’s blade quickly flashed in an arc before Louis had a chance to finish his words

Then…

Plop!

Louis’ head fell to the cold floor with an expression full ofLouis’ detached head

“I would have been more successful in my career if I cared about that stuff”

Nelson had no intention to forgive Louis regardless of hoell off the Walker fa, Nelson then looked over at Marez Cardia as tre in fear next to him

“Marez…”

“D… don’t kill me I couldn’t help it Didn’t I actually contribute to this last battle?”

Nelson turned his head to look over at Milton as Marez spoke in a hurry

Milton then nodded his head as he spoke

“His words are correct”

Frederic’s plan seemed perfect in the last battle, but there was an unknown variable

Marez Cardia was the variable Louis Walker thought he had persuaded

After Louis murdered Butland and threatened him, Marez had no choice but to join Louis in this operation

He becaressed

The particular reason he was so anxious was because of his family

Louis was the type of trash that would use his family and throw them away for his benefit

However, even if Marez was a piece of trash, he still had some fondness for his family

Even if he successfully fled to the Republic after the operation was successful, destruction was the only thing left for his fadom

When it’s found that an aristocrat defected over to the Republic, all other familyshould never happen

After much deliberation Marez decided to betray Louis

Except he didn’t kno his betrayal could stop this operation

Milton ho he thought of at the end of his contemplation

‘If it’s Milton Forrest, he’ll be able to do so’

Even if Marez normally talked behind his back, he knew Milton Forrest was a much more capable individual than he was

That’s why he covertly sent someone to Milton to notify him of the situation in the midst of battle

Milton was very surprised when he learned of the circu supplies in Pratinos

‘This idiot is causing a huge disaster’

He knew the way Louis looked at him was peculiar, but Milton had not paid much attention to it

It was because Milton was planning to leave the ain

However, he didn’t expect Louis to cause such a big mess

“My Lord, ill you do? Should we return to the fortress iht for a while after hearing Jero

“No, before that…”

Milton borrowed a total of 500 men from Pratinos to form his troops

Then he first checked what actions House Walker’sto the Crow Fortress

First, they needed to cut off the eneuised themselves as House Walker’sto the Crow Fortress if we can’t win against the eneh in the work I can do’

That’s how Milton immediately eliuising as House Walker’s merchant cos and had his troops wear the ene back to the fortress Let’s go hit Louis Walker from behind!”

“Yes, my Lord!”

That’s how Milton was able to attack the ene to the Crow Fortress

“Therefore, it’s wrong to say Marez Cardia completely betrayed us”

Nelson crossed his ar what Milton said

This short span of ti as 100 years

It was an obvious reaction since his life depended on Nelson’s decision

Nelson opened his hts

“It’s definitely not fair to judge him with the same sentence that Louis Walker had

“Hahhhhh…”

“Marez let out a deep sigh in relief

“However!”

Nelson had not finished speaking

“There is the crior after witnessing it firsthand Despite whatever reason you may have it’s true that you cooperated with the Republic These two facts are enough reason to cut off your head”

“C… Count, I had no other choice Please forgive me just once”

If Marez’s arms weren’t tied up, he would have held onto Nelson’s pants

Nelson gave his final sentence to Marez in that state

“Marez Cardia will have his military service extended for 10 years to pay for his crimes”

“10… 10 years?”

For Marez, as scheduled to be discharged next year, Nelson’s sentence was akin to the sky falling

‘Tsk tsk… Poor bastard’

Milton looked at Marez and clicked his tongue

Milton had served in the military in his previous life, so he knehat it ed

But, to have to extend your service for 10 years…

‘I feel so bad for him’

Milton truly felt sy service for 10 years is a bit…”

“What? If it’s too little, should I make it 20 years?”

“No, not at all”

Marez looked defeated, but he seemed to have accepted it
