A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 93: (1)

“I, I didn’t do anything like that! I just… pretended not to know!”

“Well… that’s why they all died at once. Somehow, when I heard that from Yanton, it felt strange. But why didn’t you kill Linda back then? If your goal was the downfall of the Markain family, it would have been easier to handle it together at that time, wouldn’t it?”

“Well… We tried to do it as if she had fallen ill and died, but I heard that it failed. So… we tried to handle it ourselves…”

“It failed… well, judging by your sloppy work, that could be the case.”

The Armis family easily eliminated Linda’s family, so removing Linda herself wouldn’t have been a difficult task. That’s why they entrusted this task to the knights who were spies in the Markain family. Everything started to go awry when Linda coincidentally met Kaiyan.

“Hehe… Would you like to ask me more…?”

“That’s enough… No, it’s okay. How many knights who betrayed the Markain family are there?”

“Including me, there are a total of five! But… it seems that three of them… “

Looking at the guy glancing at him, Kaiyan knew who those three were.

“The knights who came to take Linda, right?”

“Yes, yes! That’s right!”

“Then, what about the remaining one? Why did you move alone?”

“Well… the remaining one couldn’t move because he holds the position of the Markain family’s first knight.”

“If it’s a first knight… the highest-ranking knight who assists the lord?”

When Kaiyan was with the Carcia family, Barvan once told him that if he became a lord, he would become the first knight. He said that only one first knight could only exist in one family, and that the first knight was the highest rank among all knights. But Kaiyan never imagined that such a Knight would be a traitor in the Markain family.

“… This is serious. Do you have any more information to tell me?”

“Um… Ah! If he knows that I failed, there’s a high chance that the Armis family will take direct action! If Lady Linda is appointed as the official lord of the Mareon Empire when she arrives at the Markain family, the Armis family won’t be able to claim ownership of the territory they initially planned for!”

“Hmm… So, did you guys intend to report the success through the communication device if the mission had succeeded? You probably didn’t plan to go directly to the Armis family, especially given the circumstances.”

Kaiyan heard from Anton that the Markain family was located to the west of this border area. However, the Mareon Empire was so vast that it had a name as an empire, so he heard that they had to ride a horse and travel for several days from this border area to get there.

“Yes! That’s right! I was going to use the communication device to contact Delonce, uh! Delonce is the first knight! I told him that if I informed him that the mission was successful, he should inform the Armis family directly.”

“…Is that so?”josei

The more he heard, the more loopholes he found in their plans.

‘In that case, I have to dig into those gaps and use their plan against them.’

“You should contact Delonce right away.”

“Yes? B-but… since the mission failed… and the Armis family will take action, is it okay?”

“Actually, you can report the mission as a success. Tell them that you killed Linda.”

“Oh, right! I’ll do it right away!”

The knight hastily took out a small communication device from his pocket, blowing Ouro into it. After a brief wait, the vibrating device lit up, and a voice could be heard from it.

*Melvios, is the mission complete?*

“Yes, yes! Delonce, the mission has been completed!”

*Did you retrieve the necklace? You understand that it’s essential, right?*

“Of course. We took it from her…”

The knight, who was about to refer to Linda, glanced at Kaiyan for a moment, and Kaiyan nodded in agreement.

“The necklace is with us and Linda is dead!”

*That’s a relief. Then, deal with the bought-out soldiers and return to the Markain Family quickly. We must not leave any traces of our involvement. *

“The soldiers have already been dealt with. I’ll return as soon as possible!”

*Very well, come back, and let’s discuss further. *

With those final words, the communication device’s light dimmed, and the voice ceased to come through.

“Hehe… As you requested, the mission is complete.”

“Yes, you’ve done very well. So, farewell, Blaze Armor.”

“Huh?”

Kaiyan delivered a powerful punch to the bewildered knight’s face as if to say, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Boom!

The knight’s head couldn’t withstand the force of Kaiyan’s punch, shattering into pieces as blood splattered in all directions. Fortunately, this time, he hadn’t activated Blaze Armor, so his body remained clean.

Kaiyan looked at the fallen knight with a somewhat perplexed expression. Then, Rieka, who had been perched in a tree, leaped down and approached.

*Kaiyan doesn’t keep promises with bad guys! Bad guy!*

Rieka, using her short front paws, lightly tapped the knight, and Kaiyan picked her up and placed her in his arms.

“Kaiyan, what do you plan to do now?”

“I have a feeling that something interesting is going to happen in the Markain Family.”

“Really?”

“Since we’re heading in that direction, we might as well witness this ‘interesting’ event, don’t you think?”

“Alright! Let’s go to the Markain Family!”

“Yes, to the Markain Family.”

Four days after Linda’s group crossed the border, the Markain Family was bustling with guests.

The visitors to the Markain Family included nobles and knights from the Armis Viscount Family.

“Haha! Delonce, it’s good to see you.”

“Oh! Welcome! Come this way, Mr. Vyarolf!”

As the representative knight of the Markain Family, Delonce welcomed them with a joyful expression. Ignoring the displeased faces of the Markain Family’s knights.

Delonce led Mr. Vyarolf, a nobleman, and his entourage inside as he left the position of the host of the Markain Family to the other knights.

Remaining outside, the Markain Family’s knights gathered together.

“What on earth is happening? Why have nobles from the Armis Family come to the Markain Family, and without a word to us?”
