Chapter 256. Confusion (1)
“Jin. It’s an additional task.”
-What is it?
The gear coil exploded.
Of course, it was all expected.
I expected it, but… I didn’t expect it to be this large.
“Infiltrate the camp of the Elf Alliance. Try to get as close to the commander-in-chief as possible.”
-Umm······. Is the difficulty too high?
As soon as I heard Jin’s unique voice mixed with laughter, my fever jumped out.
When I turned my head, I saw that the first floor of the accommodation was littered with soldiers.
From there, looking a little further, I could see countless spears rising up on the barriers surrounding the desert clearing.
The entire desert frontier was in a tense state.
Beyond that, the plains, about a kilometer away, were lined with elven tents.
And there are hundreds of vigilante cavalrymen constantly roaming around…
The exact number is unknown, but at least 8,000 elven cavalry were assembled right in front of the desert clearing.
“So I can, I can’t.”
-I can do it. It’s just that the amount is broken a lot…
“Five million Tyrion.”
-Eh? Are you risking your life to work?
“Six million.”
-Eh. Our boss’s barrel is too small-
“If you don’t like it, quit.”
-aaah! I’ll do it! Six million! Huh! That’s reasonable!
My head was pounding.
I ended up paying a ridiculous price.
Still, now is not the time to worry about money, so I decided to control my anger as much as possible.
“So when do you think it will be possible to penetrate?”
– Huh? Are you already in the camp?
“·······.”
Anyway, I didn’t seem to have any talent for controlling my anger.
I felt like I wanted to run to the elven allied camp right now and drag Jin by the hair.
Knowing that I will have you do the work, I prepared it in advance, and then ripped off the money with gourd…
I’m sorry, but I have no idea what to do now.
Because there is no one more qualified to extract information from the inside or to keep the enemy in check.
Because he knows that well, he must have just come out like this.
When the contract ends, I’ll have to split Jin’s chest and destroy Danjeon.
If left alone, the vase would explode from stress and die.
“Ah! Your Excellency Regent!”
When the door opened, Damian glanced behind him, his face flushed.
It was a look of genuine pleasure.
He walked over to me as if to hug me, then came to his senses, cleared his throat, and took his arms back.
“How is the situation?”
“It seems that the chiefs of the elven tribes have all united. As a result, they lead a cavalry force estimated at up to 10,000 and are encamped in front of the desert frontier.”
“Everyone? Everyone?”
“That’s… Yes. It is…”
Damian lowered his head in disdain.
Demian’s role was to throw bait and divide the elven tribes from uniting.
But this was out of Damian’s control.
After all, they have no intention of uniting for ten thousand years.
It was nothing more and nothing less than just trying to make a big fuss and put on a show.
In other words, Celica’s presence was great enough to temporarily unite the elves.
“How are you responding?”
“I will remain silent for now until the messenger from the other side arrives.”
“Any signs of an attack?”
“It doesn’t appear to be there yet, but it could be a trick, so we’re on high alert.”
“If attacked, what are the chances of being captured?”
“Absolutely not. I don’t say things like this very often, but with those troops, it’s really no brainer.”
I wasn’t bragging.
If you add up all the soldiers and police forces in the desert frontier, it’s less than 10,000, but that should be enough.
This is a fortress blessed by nature that once withstood the offensive of 100,000 elves.
In addition, each area is now equipped with thick barriers, so it can be said that capture is absolutely impossible.
As long as the commanders go crazy and don’t turn the point of the sword…
“Your Excellency! The Duke! A messenger has arrived!”
“·······!”
Ataturk then opened the door and shouted.
Sending a messenger after an hour of confrontation.
I send it very early.
“Stop by.”
“Yes, I will.”
Soon, a messenger dressed in traditional elven clothing slowly walked down the hallway.
My impression was that it was as if a white blanket was wrapped around the body, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it.
The messenger stood in front of us, bowed his head in salute, and then parted his lips slowly.
“I will visit you on behalf of the chief of the Sek tribe.”
“What is it? What are you talking about?”
Damian looked around him in bewilderment.
What the messenger spoke was none other than Elvish.
The messenger of the elves speaks the elven language to the duke in the desert frontier…
Anyway, they seemed to want to make the situation pretty nasty.
“The head wants to talk.”
“·······.”
Damian’s face hardened.
It seemed that the air in the room had already frozen cold.
Every time the messenger said a word, Ataturk translated it and spoke it in the official language of the empire.
Of course, since I have ‘translation’, it was like hearing the same words twice.
“The Freya Empire Federation Regent and the Freya Empire Federation Desert Frontier Duke want you to come to our camp and negotiate.”
“f*cking. Are you asking us to come over there?”
“·······.”
“Get this bastard out.”
As soon as Damian’s order was given, the soldiers grabbed the messenger by the arms and dragged him out.
The messenger glared at Atatürk with fierce eyes until the last moment as he was being dragged away.
There was obvious hostility in those eyes.
Animosity much stronger than that towards us as humans.
“You seem like you’re just going to hang around and not talk until we go first?”
“That’s what it looks like.”
“Let’s do whatever we want! Let’s camp in the wasteland and see how many weeks it lasts.”
Damian jumped up from his seat as if he couldn’t control his excitement.
Looking at the profuse sweat, it seemed that he was not angry at all.
Of course not.
He was gathering troops and preparing for a ‘certain incident’, but the elves came out of nowhere and were trying to consume all of them.
“It would be nice to have a conversation as well.”
“Yes, well. Wouldn’t it be good for both of us as long as we could defeat the military? But how-“
“You have to shake the bait.”
“No way. Your Excellency, no way Celica-“
“That’s right.”
“No!”

Damian shook his head at breakneck speed.
“Absolutely not, sir. Of course, sir, I have no intention of arguing about the treatment of your personal prisoners, but giving Celica is the worst handshake ever.”
“I’m not saying I’m giving it away. I’m just shaking the bait.”
“Ah…”
Shouldn’t it be brought to the forum of conversation first?
Of course, I was in a position that didn’t matter even if the confrontation increased.
On the surface.
To be honest, I felt like I wanted to sit face to face with a guy named Du-ryeong as soon as possible, but at least in Damian’s eyes, it would look that way.
So I had to pretend to be patronizing, noticing Damian’s intentions.
If I gave the impression that I was moving because I was in a hurry, I would immediately go out.
“Then I ask Your Excellency to summon the tribal chiefs…”
“Let’s meet alone instead.”
“Yes. Of course… Yes? hahahahaha. My ears are not so good these days. I think I heard it wrong.”
“I said I would face the chiefs alone.”
“·······.”
Damian’s mouth opened slowly.
It was a strange face that was neither angry nor embarrassed.
Is this what happens when people are treated beyond imagination?
The Duke of the Desert Frontier is missing from negotiations with armed protesters in the Desert Frontier.
I thought it was absurd.
Of course, there was a reason for that.
I couldn’t have leaked all the secrets in front of Damian, whom I still couldn’t trust completely.
“The answer is very slow. I’ll take it as a positive.”
“·······.”
I turned my back on Damian.
If I kept looking at her, I felt sorry, and I felt like I would say an apology without even realizing it.
I have a good nature, so it was very painful to force myself to do bad things.
“Your Excellency!”
“Did you change your mind?”
Just before I passed the door, Damien’s loud voice called me to my stand.
“No. I’ll leave it to your Excellency. But there’s just one thing I want to ask you.”
“Tell me.”
“Did your Excellency design this situation?”
“·······.”
Damian stared at me expressionlessly and asked.
Damian is calm, but rather, Atatürk was surprised and he was bewildered beside him.
It was definitely a remark that crossed the line.
Still, I crossed the line many times, so I decided to take care of this cute fight.
“Anyway, the duke seems to be overestimating me. I’m not a god, so how can I get the elves to gather 10,000 cavalrymen?”
“·······.”
“Of course, I believe you didn’t mean it. If you still have any questions, ask the Imperial Palace. Perhaps Your Majesty will be able to answer the duke’s question more accurately.”
“Oh no…!”
Damian answered hastily with his face turned white.
I thought he was a man with so many different expressions.
I left the room that way and went straight to the hotel where Celica was detained.
“Erika. Are you ready?”
-Yes······. Almost all?
In case you were anxious, I tried to communicate once, and this answer came back.
Almost everything.
If this is the case, how should I accept it?
-No, but are you sure? Can you pull me into this?
“I’m sure.”
-No, this is a bit…
“Every time you start talking, no?
-No, that’s…. Ha, again no. Under······. No. I’ll do as Schluss says.
Erica replied with a big sigh.
It sounded like he had given up on something.
– Now I understand.
“What?”
-The reason why you don’t tell me the details of the operation every time. Even if I told you, it was because I couldn’t believe it.
“Isn’t it?”
-But things always work out the way you planned… Under. I feel weird.
“·······.”
That was half right and half wrong.
It’s true that things always worked out in my favor, but rarely did everything go the way I planned.
Once it worked out, I just insisted that everything went according to my plan.
Anyway, Erica seemed to have a lot of fantasies about me.
– Are you sure?
“Not sure.”
Still, I needed to pretend to be firm.
I think it might not work here, but it won’t work if I say something like that.
-I’m so nervous, Schluss.
“Neither do I.”
-To lure the devil with this and intercept it… Ha ha…
Erika’s deep sigh came in low quality.
However, that vague feeling was conveyed well.
I understand.
Because I’m too nervous to die.
Here is the main.
That was my plan.
