400 Prelude Before Battle (1/2)
Before this, Supreme Marshall Krasimir had planned meticulously. He even made sure that all of his subordinates in Gorsk already died, leaving no witnesses. Even he killed the two generals who guarded the teleportation in his private residence.
He reasoned the two died because blocked the attack that came from the teleportation door. As for his three friends he just mentioned, Supreme Marshall Krasimir believed his three friends would die even they managed to arrive at Gorsk Territory.
Krasimir did not worry about them and he was confident that the plan went smoothly. Sure enough, Lord reacted as Krasimir expected.
”Get up! What we want is not your life, tell me the detail about their strength, ” The cold voice rang once again.
But were 21 Lords would believe the exaggeration of Krasimir's story? Of course not. Over a hundred thousand people said that only 500 men could defeat their army, yet these Supreme Marshall Krasimir said 30,000 men to defeat a few thousand forces in Gorsk Territory?
But of course, 21 Lords would not open this to Supreme Marshall Krasimir. They knew Supreme Marshall Krasimir just wanted to save his face before them and the others.
As for the wound on Krasimir's body, no Lord suspected that. So generally, Krasimir's plan went smoothly and the plan was going as he expected.
Krasimir did not know the 21 Lords' thought, but his mouth curved upward when he heard these words. But it was only for a moment before remorse look exposed back on his face.
Krasimir stood up and began his exaggeration storytelling about Happy Guild who crushed his territory by outnumbering them.
”No, what I want to know is about their leader? Have you fought the leader yet? How strong their leader is?” The cold voice interrupted Krasimir non-sense.
After all, the flow of clash was not important to them. The most important was the leader. After the two unknown beasts last visit, it really made them worried and took this matter seriously.
Hearing this, Krasimir stopped his blabber and his face showed fear. But in his mind, he was thinking which one was the one leader among the attacker. There were many figures who stood amongst them, but because it was too many people who stood out amongst a few hundred people. He did not know which one who was the leader.
He did not know who was the leader was, let alone knowing their strength. However, Krasimir knew that he could not show his thought out. If the Lord knew this, he would be finished for sure.
But he had two figures came into his mind, it was the woman who challenged him and the man behind the woman who challenged him.
One thing went wrong, even though he did not die in the hand of those people. He would die in the Lord's hand for sure if the Lord knew that he was lying to them.
”Yes, I fought him. He was strong, at least two times stronger than me. He was the one who cut my hand, ” Supreme Marshall Krasimir admitted dejectedly and began telling Lord how they fought.
Even though he said the other side won by outnumbering his force, but he must admit the other side leader stronger than him. If not, how could he tell all of his wounds to the Lords?
”So you say there is another woman who almost strong as the genuine leader?” The cold voice continued interrogating Krasimir.
”Yes, if it's only one on one fight, maybe I will still hold them while waiting for the reinforcement to come. However, I can't hold it longer when the woman joined the fight. At that time I decided to run away to deliver this information…”
Krasimir continued bullshitting as he knew he had not passed the gate of death yet. If he answered wrong, then he would be done for sure.
But fortunately, during two hours of interrogation, Krasimir came out from the ”Lord Hall” with a relieving smile on his face. Devil Apostle people called this ”Lord Hall” as this was where Lord gathered and they called this room ”Lord Hall”.
He stretched his left arm which just grew back. After Lord finished interrogating him, they gave him a regeneration potion.
Now it was different and a guild could buy a stock of regeneration potion. There was no need for them to use that in the shop like before.
But then the relieving smile froze and his eyes turned into sharp. He must pay what that unknown guild did to him. He did not accept the woman challenge not because afraid.
It because Krasimir did not believe it would be a fair fight. He believed the other would do a sneak attack on him in the middle of the fight. Only fool would believe that was only pure one on one challenge.
”I will make sure that guild pays for what they did to me!!!”
…
Meanwhile, inside the hall, 21 Lords were still there. They had not finished yet.
20 Lords looked at one person, they seemed to wait for that person speaking.
”Hmm, he seems to be hiding something from us. We can't fully trust him, ” The voice was gentle and soft. It was a woman's voice and it seemed the woman could detect Krasimir's lies.
