Chapter 563
Chapter 563
Del Thor decided to seek revenge by jumping on the human race’s winning streak, which might be his last chance.
And after giving some instructions to his vassals, he decided to treat Baron Macney to himself, who had come to the city on the pretext of welcoming the Order.
In my heart, I wanted to move after I finished the search for the church and the hero’s activities, but I gave up neatly.
It is unknown when the hero started noticing it, but judging by the fact that he did not change the instructions or add anything else until the moment he came to warn him, he must have talked about the plan, including the saintess Deoni. There was a high possibility that the story mentioned at the time was really hoping that it would enter the Demon King Army.
Of course, we still don’t know why we want such rumors.
The purpose he can guess is simply a desire to show off or boost the morale of his allies, but since he has eyes and mouths of about 20,000 people who have been with him before joining Lightor, it would be a relief if he didn’t feel any resentment.
With a hero of hypocrisy and a religious order, the trust that was there must be lost. If the Hero and the Saint were people who couldn’t even make simple calculations like that, they would have collapsed right away, so this isn’t the reason.
Even so, moving to action is because that is one’s role.
Even if the reason is unclear, what needs to be done is certain. The warrior hopes that the rumor will spread well. then you should do that It was clear that the hero himself had the confidence to endure whatever happened behind the scenes, whether it was a false rumor or not.
“Oh my brother! How did you come this far in one month!”
That’s why del thor decided to stick to the plan like a good soldier. Del Thor, who had already completed all preparations from the moment he heard that the baron’s carriage was starting to be seen at the gates outside the city, showed a smile on Baron McNee’s lips as he hurriedly appeared at the moment he passed through the gates and entered the city. made it come to mind
As the lord of a fortress city who hurriedly ran to the arrival of the Baron on the border without a gate, Del Thor himself thought it was a pretty good picture.
“Hahaha! I heard that the hope of the demons has arrived in my sister’s city, of course I have to run!”
Baron McNeee, a big man with thick lines, responded to Del Thor’s hospitality by banging his fists on the splendid breastplate. In terms of his appearance, he was Baron McNee, a warrior himself, but he was a man who was reluctant to engage in armed conflict to the extent that he bought the baron with money and belatedly suppressed the resistance with force.
And as you can see from that anecdote, he was also a person with a tendency to try to solve the beginning of everything with money. Del Thor, who grasped this right away, waved his tail eagerly as if blinded by the gold and silver treasure he threw, and was able to ‘pretend’ to maintain a strong relationship like now.
“Ah… well, since my older brother came to visit me like this, I should have set up a place where I could have a private meeting with the saintess, but this younger brother’s ability isn’t enough yet…
” The image of Del Thor, who was welcoming and hesitant as if he had belatedly reminded of his mistake, is a child with a short mind.
It was a guess made with his vassals that Baron McNeee, whose purpose was to act as a spy, could not sincerely want to face the head of the Order, so he was just moderately sorry and said to encourage him in a different direction, but for some reason the baron stood out. He hesitated and waved his hands.
“Don’t say that! Even if they have time, I have no intention of taking away that valuable time! I came here because I wanted to be a source of strength to my brother, but that’s not the purpose!”
overreaction
It wasn’t an action that the baron Del Thor knew would show. This was an act close to drawing a clear line out of fear that there would be room for them to meet.
Is there any reason why we shouldn’t meet? Del Thor, who did not forget to act as if he was thrilled while turning his head to one side, improvised and recombined the words he was trying to say.
“As expected, he’s the older brother! This del Thor! I’m truly thrilled. That… I’m saying this more seriously because he’s the older brother. Actually… there’s a bit of a strange rumor going around…
” I was going to spill the rumors while showing a sneaky indecisive look while dragging the situation, but somehow it seemed necessary to advance it a little. The gaze of the man, who had been genuinely perplexed until just now, became strangely sharp at the conclusion and drunk acting.
“…rumor?”
“Ah, it’s a bit too much to say in a place like this. There are a lot of ears to listen to… Shall we move to a new location? I’ll take you to the palace.”
“Naeseong? Aren’t there the saints and other leaders of the church?”
“Yes? Is that so?”
“Uh-huh, sister. How can you say such a strange rumor in a place like that. Let’s go to the forest.”
In the forest to hide the trees, in the crowd to hide rumors. It was the baron’s favorite expression. And Del Thor looked at Baron McNeee, who condescendingly mentioned it as if it were a secret only he knew, and artificially created an environment that matched his ideas, intentions, and tastes.
“Ah! My thoughts were short! So, shall we go where we always go?”
It started as a mercenary group, raised a large sum of money to buy a baronial title, and ‘believes’ that he wrote his own legend by proving his power, which is perfect for the taste of McNee… the lawless zone of the city.
Private soldiers cost a lot of money to maintain, so the place, which was decorated ‘as if’ stemmed from the complacent mindset of using mercenaries that could be easily hired and fired, was conceived from the moment Baron McNee approached with a decision to use himself. It was a huge stage created by entering the .
Whenever he came to Thor and had a secret story, he naturally induced the Baron to find the place, and the Baron reached the point where he was so infatuated that he would start looking for the place once he came to Thor.
“Um. Is it still there?”
“Ugh, sure. It’s a place where there are only rough mercenaries, so I even had to ask the church not to approach it. If I knew this would happen, I would have raised more enlisted soldiers…” Actually, the Lawless Zone is just for adventurers and travelers
. It was just a management district organized to make it easier to manage separately, and the tavern, which he believed only had ferocious mercenaries, was hired by Thor from one to ten and was created under Thor’s command. Mercenaries should be like that. ha ha ha.’ I just walk away and am satisfied.
In this way, the two moved toward a space created for the purpose of deceiving only one person, satisfying the target’s vanity and creating a gap at the same time.
Unaware of the fact that he was being deceived from the moment he approached Del Thor for the first time, Baron McNeee patted Del Thor on the shoulder with a deliberately hearty laugh and hurried on.
?
Lord Del Thor was no fool either.
No, it was very meticulous beyond the point of not being an idiot.
“This is what the baron was planning from the moment he approached with the intention of stealing information…?”
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard the story that he naturally led the baron visiting the city and shoved it into the set of The Truman Show, which he planned and composed himself.
I never imagined that I would be building a build-up while trying such an unconventional method in a place that is not a method of recruiting gods from a pseudo-religious group, nor is it modern.
“It’s even weirder to notice if it’s this detailed.”
Looking at the detailed documents that could have been a report, the baron wondering if it was Macney or Mongmi was not an ordinary person, but even if the opponent was bad, it was too bad. After considering Del Thor as an idiot, he tried to get a friendly approach by conciliating with money halfway through, but he was beaten back.
If he had prioritized military force like normal demons, the result might have been different.
“I can understand why the Demon King didn’t notice his vengeful spirit. If the hero hadn’t noticed quickly, we would have been confused as well.”
“It’s the result of hard work.”
Most of all, I am satisfied with the fact that I immediately reported this fact to Saint Deoni.
The report was made so quickly that it could be called almost instantaneous, except for a brief delay in organizing and bringing the necessary data together. We’ll have to wait and see the situation, but it’s safe to say that there’s a high chance that he won’t change his mind.
Since he’s been fooling the Demon King’s army for years, he will be of great help in the deception tactic until the Demon King’s army becomes distrustful of his actions. The saintess, who had been staring at me as I let out a sigh of relief while thinking that, opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.
“What the hell did you say to me when you went to see me separately?”
“I just conveyed my expectations without filtering while sharing some private discussions about Lord Thor’s hobbies.”
These days, I felt like our saintess opened her eyes with an ax more often, but since it’s true anyway, I’m confident.
“…For now, let’s think about Lord Thor after he returns. For now, joining the kingdom army coming down from the northwest is the priority.”
Rather than losing my self-confidence, I felt like I was desperate for some reason, but the saintess sorted out the papers and piled them on one side of the table, then pointed to the map she was looking at earlier.
Besides information warfare, there are still many things we need to take care of.
