286 – The Great War of Bohemia (2)
Baron Eisen under Matthias gave the order.
“All troops stop, we will sleep here today! Everyone, hurry up and build a camp!”
After hearing that order, the soldiers under Baron Eisen sighed.
“Now I can finally rest… Ugh, I thought I was going to die.”
“Look at you, you idiot.”
“Then, since I, the weak-hearted person who is being treated so harshly, will rest, please let Max, who has the remaining strength, set up the camp for our ten men neatly.”
After the march was over and there was some time to spare, all kinds of chatter began to occur among the soldiers.
There was also a guy talking about his new bride who he left behind at his house.
“Oh, I don’t need anything, I really want to go home. How great would it be to eat bread made by Anna and have deep s*x at night? “But what kind of trouble is it to be dragged out like this?”
Hearing those words, the bachelor sighed out of envy.
“Ha, if I had known that I would be dragged out like this, I would have done it with Katrina at the harvest festival last year. “When the two of us went to that forest, the opportunity was perfect.”
“You idiot, having a woman go to the forest with you means we should do it. Since you missed that, you should just be an old bachelor for the rest of your life.”
“Don’t curse, really.”
“If you are unfairly treated, survive stubbornly. “You just have to go back alive and confess.”
“Even if it’s unfair for my brother to get sick, I will return home alive. Really, I don’t want to be that kind of idiot who can’t even have s*x.”
After hearing those words, the veteran mercenary went behind the idiot who said he would come back alive and confess, and grabbed the back of the head with a little Aura.
The bachelor, who didn’t know who hit him, started swearing.
“Oh, sh*t again. “Who hit my head?”
Then, looking back at him, the bachelor’s face became thoughtful.
“Oh, Master Fifty! Loyalty!”
Osip Seal, a former mercenary, waved his hand as if he didn’t care at all.
“I apologized for suddenly hitting the back of the head. By the way, you idiot. “Never say on the battlefield that you will return alive and confess.”
“No, even now, I’m anxious and searching because I don’t know when the men remaining in the village will take action. “Isn’t this too much?”
From the bachelor’s point of view, he had to stamp the woman as his as soon as possible.
That would be the case. What if the bastards left in the village with bright blonde hair and tanned skin approach Katrina and tell them that your fiancé has already died in the war, so come to me?
Couldn’t his fiancé eventually fall for their trick and end up not being a virgin?!
‘f*ck, that’s not enough.’
Just imagining that filled the bachelor’s head with anger.
“I understand how you feel, but strangely enough, what I experienced during my 10 years as a mercenary is that the more you talk like that, the faster you fall.”

When the bachelor heard those words, his face suddenly hardened.
“If there are 100 assholes who say that they will go back and confess to their fiancés and girlfriends and that they will get married and have s*x, 60 of them will miraculously die or lose a limb in the next war. “Deus is too much.”
If 10 of 100 people fight in a war and 10 of them die, that’s a lot of deaths, but strangely, those who say this say 60% of them died or were seriously injured?
So, among the mercenary units that are considered the most elite, there is a military law that states that if a person is caught saying things like ‘If I win this time, I will confess to 00’ on the battlefield, they will be dragged away and beaten with a whip.
So, the fifty seals used their experience from that time to stop the bachelor soldier.
“It’s better than falling, kid. Because you’re going to die with disabled arms and legs, right? Then, I don’t know why, but there is a high probability that your fiancé will be the blonde haired guy’s girl, not you. Even on the first night, that bastard was a jerk. And then you have to watch her live happily with a man other than you for the rest of her life.”
At those words, the bachelor and the rest of the soldiers gaped.
It is a story that is too terrible to even imagine.
They risked their lives to fight and were seriously injured, but when they return home, their fiancé becomes a concubine for a man other than me in order to survive.
And watch it happen until it falls apart…
‘I’d rather just hang myself and die, damn it.’
“If you don’t want to end up like that, never say bullsh*t like you’re going to go back and confess to your fiancé.”
Everyone nodded at those words.
I don’t know if that statement is true or false, but when humans go to war, they feel like grasping at straws and truly believe in superstitions.
When the atmosphere calmed down, one of them got lucky.
“Then have you heard this story? Well, First Princess Maria. “They say she has a lover.”
She started clicking her tongue at those words.
Everyone tolerates the fact that a well-off man has a lover before marriage.
Even enemies brush it aside by saying, ‘You shouldn’t say something like that to a man.’
This is because she unconditionally recognizes that if the princess has a lover before her marriage, she is a prostitute who abuses her body.
In this world, it is a world where marriage is the default for all relationships.
“Wow, now that a woman is in power, the country is going to sh*t. “Those bastards are finished now.”
“I was a promiscuous b*tch, oh my.”
“It’s a sign that the world is coming to ruin.”
Of course, the person who said this here was not a soldier officially affiliated with the military.
He was a member of the intelligence guild hired by Matthias, and the reason he was dispatched here was to make the spies under Maria naturally bite into ‘this rumor.’
“But there’s no guarantee that it’s true, right?”
“If not, will there be smoke in the chimney? And Maria, she is already 22 years old. Having lost her family, including her father, at a young age, she must have missed the embrace of a dependable man. And how many people would have tried to take advantage of her and take advantage of it?”
“That’s right?”
“There is also a crazy bastard around me who is trying to seduce a 60-year-old woman who owns a little land.”
And Zechs, an information guild informant, motioned for silence.
“Only you should know this… Surely there is no one among you who would reveal the secret?”
‘Only you should know this.’
It is common sense that the moment these words are said, the secret spreads faster than wings can be added to one’s feet.
However, they nodded and pledged never to reveal the secret.
“Who would do something like that?”
“Tell me anything.”
“What kind of relationship are we?”
Except for being assigned to the same unit, we really don’t have anything in common, so it’s ridiculous to talk about it as if we have anything to do with each other.
When the information guild informant heard that, he chuckled and spoke in a whisper.
“What’s even funnier is that the lover is a former mercenary named Viscount Cologne, and she is said to have been secretly meeting with Princess Maria for quite some time. “The Viscountess of Cologne seduced Princess Maria with a bright face.”
At that moment, everyone who heard the story fell silent due to tension.
“And it is said that she enjoys a secret meeting with her maid, Jang, in a place where they are alone. And what would have happened there.”
The informant paused for a moment and grinned.
“You know everything without me saying anything, right?”
“The world is truly at its end.”
“That’s right.”
If this rumor gets into Maria’s faction, public opinion will naturally boil over that the Viscount of Cologne should be killed first.
When the informant left after completing his job and the fifty seals left, this time another person came forward and revealed a rumor he had picked up somewhere else.
“But, do you know what? “Princess Maria… she is distributing food to the starving citizens of the Viscounty of Bohemia.”
The soldiers who heard those words froze with even more bewildered expressions than when they heard the rumor that Maria and Viscount Cologne were dating.
The reason they came here to fight with their spears was because they heard that if they were defeated by Maria, their hometown would be plundered, so they came to protect her hometown.
Distributing food to the Viscounty of Bohemia means that they have no intention of plundering them even if they win the war?
“What kind of bullsh*t is that?”
“No, it’s bullsh*t and nonsense. Isn’t this the Viscounty of Bohemia? “I picked it up today while I was out requisitioning food.”
I couldn’t believe everything he said 100%.
However, if the statement that they are distributing food to the Viscounty of Bohemia is not a lie, then there is really no reason for them to risk their lives and fight.
In the battle for the throne among high-ranking people, it doesn’t really matter who becomes the emperor, so why not get hurt needlessly…
As the Fifty Seal said, shouldn’t I have to watch my wife and fiancé being taken away by a suspicious blonde man in my hometown?
“f*ck, wouldn’t that mean there would be no reason to fight?”
“…… Couldn’t His Highness Matthias lie to us?”
“I don’t know, let’s just sleep, f*ck. “The steam is all gone.”
Then, as a few hours passed, many of the soldiers under Matthias took advantage of their ambition and left the camp, pretending to go to the bathroom.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, the spies who had infiltrated Matthias’s camp also escaped…
After receiving the spies’ report, the nobles in Maria’s camp burst into anger.
“Viscount Cologne, you crazy bastard, how dare you treat Her Highness the Princess!!”
Everyone took a sword each and went to the Marquis of Schweig in a rough manner.
