271 – Turning your back (9)
The day you make up your mind is market day, and the day you decide to win is the best day to win.
This is a common sense that everyone knows, as written in the Goguryeo Subakdo and the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty.
I too will now bet on this common sense that everyone knows.
“Catch that Otto! Otto capture that son of a b*tch!”
When I shouted this loudly, all the soldiers around me responded loudly.
“Otto you son of a b*tch, stick your neck out!”
“If you are a man, don’t hide and come out!”
“Let’s stick together for once!”
Even if I and the other soldiers scratch Otto’s pride, he won’t be fooled by our provocations.
That’s because, from Otto’s point of view, it is more advantageous to get out of this situation as quickly as possible, even if only for a second, rather than draw his sword and fight with all his might in response to my provocation.
‘From Otto’s perspective, if he succeeds in running away, he can still avoid the worst.’
But Otto must have been offended by our harsh words, so he hurled all kinds of curses at us as he got on the horse.
“Martin you bastard! He made you, a lowly-born man, his baron, but how dare you turn away that favor and betray him! “You are such an evil bastard that even infidels would be shocked. Do you think you will get away with committing such atrocities?”
No, I will be completely safe if I capture you and win the war, so you don’t have to worry about that.
So what happens if you are caught obediently?
If you catch me without resistance right now, I am willing to hold you back politely and without harm as a special event.
Of course, next time he will be sentenced to death and hanged.
“If I succeed in capturing you and Margrave Estelle, I will be safe, so don’t worry! Otto, you bastard, if you were going to purge others, you should have been prepared to get killed too, you bastard!”
“Shut up! I will show that justice lives by killing you! “What are you doing with the SS, if you don’t cut off that traitor’s head and bring him before me as soon as possible?”
“If they tease you, pick up your sword and fight! “Don’t try to hide behind the SS.”
I tried to get closer to Otto after scratching his head like this, but…
No matter how rotten Otto is, is it because he is a royal in name and appearance and has some charisma as a monarch?
The knights under his command came running like crazy with swords to block my path.
“Get down, Baron Cologne!”
As the situation became more urgent, everyone started rushing in at random, skipping the useless self-introductions that they usually do to increase their reputation and reputation.
If you cut off one guy’s head, another guy will appear and attack you.
Sometimes, several people joined forces to block my path and cut off my head.
‘f*ck, I’m going to miss it if I keep doing this.’
In this case, if Hilde appeared like a cartoon heroine and took over after me, I could run straight to cut off Otto’s head… But realistically, that would be difficult.
Because even though she is Hilde, she is now fighting desperately against her knights who are flocking to her.
A certain trash knight pointed his sword at Hilde and shouted in a loud voice.
“Catch that b*tch! We must capture him alive and present him to His Majesty Otto!”
There is no clearer example of punishment than making a traitor’s wife the monarch’s slave.
That’s because all men are a race of people who think it’s better to bite their tongues and roll over than to see their wives being crushed under someone else.
So, until the early 1900s, in the United States, there was even a law that said it was okay to shoot a man who had s*x with his wife while having an affair.
‘They look like trash, so much so that even sashimi of their arms and legs wouldn’t be enough…’
Hilde became very enraged when she heard that.
“The honor of knights has fallen to the ground!”
You can ignore things like trying to take your own life or insulting me because you serve different masters, but you can’t stand it when so-called knights talk nonsense about making other people’s wives into slaves?
“You can clearly see the personality and courage of Otto, who leads such trash!”
Hilde said this and raised her spear in a low posture.
Then he kicked the ground and threw himself like a lightning bolt, killing those who had spoken foul language one by one.
To show that he and the guys were of a completely different class, he deliberately made a hole in the steel armor to show how great his spear skill was.
When the opponents saw this, they gasped and were completely discouraged.
Hilde continued to show how strong she was by releasing auras on her spear, causing a storm.
“I will kill you without leaving a single one behind, you vile bastards.”
At those words, some of them started to back away.
Just like that, we were chasing after Otto’s bodyguards and cutting off the captain’s head, but Otto and Estelle in front were running away at a speed comparable to their ancestors.
“Get out of the way! “Get out of the way!”
When the situation becomes like this, those two are throwing away everything, including their pride, and running away like crazy people.
Someone might say that the monarch and his prime minister, the Margrave Estelle, are cowards for throwing away all their pride and rushing to run away…

In this situation, the proper role of the monarch and prime minister is to completely throw away their pride and run away to survive.
That is why, even though King Seonjo was called ‘Renjo’ during the Japanese Invasion of Korea, he was evaluated by some as being good at running away and protecting the country.
“Martin, you son of a b*tch, I’ll kill you someday!”
They say that among the cubs who want to see each other again, there is none that is scary, but if I lose that cub now, my position in the future will be in jeopardy…
Well, I wouldn’t be subject to a purge, but…
Should I at least act as Maria’s emotional supporter to solidify my position?
Even if other nobles keep me in check, as long as Her Highness Maria likes me, I will most likely not lose my head or suffer any disadvantages…
When I was so absurd that I started thinking about useless things, I saw a flag with a white cross symbolizing the Baron Maurer family.
“Block Otto’s retreat! It will definitely captivate you!”
When Dalton gave that command, Otto’s escape route was blocked in an instant.
Otto knew what would happen to him if he was caught, so he tried to escape by finding another route, but…
“Baron Maurer!”
I didn’t say much, but Dalton would understand my intentions.
Because we are like family.
And the sound of trumpets and soldiers shouting could be heard from all over the place.
“Her Royal Highness Princess Maria is coming here leading an army of 20,000! “We won!”
When they heard that there were 20,000 troops in a situation where they were already being pushed back, everyone seemed to be dizzy and the enemy’s movement stopped for a moment.
Then, perhaps because some were so shocked, they lost the weapons they were holding.
“f*ck it, we’re done now.”
It doesn’t matter now whether what Dalton said is true or not.
The important thing is to make these guys believe that this is true, or to make them panic at least for a moment and open the gap.
‘Now is the opportunity when everyone is confused.’
“If you put down your sword and surrender, I will send you back to your family. “In the name of Baron Cologne, I solemnly swear to Deus!”
In this world, everyone believes that if you make an oath with Deus and don’t keep it, you will die and go to hell.
Hilde, Lucia, and Karin also seriously believe in this, so that’s pretty much it.
Oh, of course, I don’t believe in Deus, so I’m free to change this oath as many times as I want.
Then a considerable number of Autonom soldiers laid down their weapons.
“Please help me, I don’t want to die yet!”
“It’s Auto that’s bad, not us!”
“A fox-like wife is waiting for you!”
Once the resistance was significantly reduced, it became easier to approach the Autonom.
Until just now, you had to kill 5 people to advance 1 meter, but now you only need to kill 1 person to advance 1 meter.
“Get down, you idiot!”
As we moved forward, the distance between Otto and Estelle gradually became closer.
“Stand there!”
There is no fool who stands when told to stand, but for some reason, I keep shouting.
Otto ran even faster to get out of this battlefield.
“f*ck! “f*ck!”
In that way, the distance between us narrowed to 30 meters, 25 meters, 20 meters… Like this.
“Otto you son of a b*tch! “If you surrender now, I will make it as comfortable as possible for you!”
Whether you are caught comfortably or painfully, you will die anyway…
If you’re going to lose, wouldn’t it be better to get caught and die at least a little more comfortably?
The reason I am giving you this kind recommendation is because I have a passion for serving you.
‘I’ve become really kind, too.’
When the situation got to this point, Margrave Estelle seemed to think that this was no longer possible, so he separated from Otto and began to run away.
“Your Highness, see you alive!”
“Margrave! Are you cowardly trying to live alone!”
If Otto is caught and Estelle survives alone, I think she plans to take the money and go into exile somewhere…
Well, if we capture Otto, all the territories that Otto occupied will become ours…
For now, let’s just focus on Otto.
‘Dalton will take care of the rest.’
Then, when the distance with Otto narrowed to less than 10 meters, I concentrated all the aura in my body and rushed forward as if jumping forward.
There were several knights blocking my path, but I was helplessly defeated by my speed and courage.
Otto screamed when he saw me.
“aaah!”
It’s no use screaming like that now.
I immediately tripped Otto and hit her face in the mud.
‘I’m wearing a helmet, so I won’t die.’
You put me through a hard time by not surrendering, so feel the humiliation when you get caught.
“I, Baron Martin von Cologne, have captured the 4th Prince Otto von Rheingfalz. We won!!!!”
