The Leader of the NTR Knights Decided To Escape chapter 33

33 – between revenge and something else

General Gates’ proposal to strike the back of the head while pretending to negotiate with the rebels.

Regarding this, I had the idea that it was not a bad plan.

Of course, in the long run, this was an act of undermining the trust of the rebels, and it had the potential to cause quite annoying problems in the diplomatic part later.

However, apart from these organizational risks,

From my personal point of view, this was a great opportunity to wipe out all the filthy traitors.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t face them during the last battle.

But if they attack those who are defenseless this time,

He could have made sure to pay the price for betraying the faith of the past ten years by killing or capturing General Neto, Clara, Olivier, Richard, and William, the root of all evil.

As everyone knows well that one of the biggest reasons I came here is for revenge, no one will interfere with this even considering my achievements so far.

Even if I had some intentions to do so, I had no intention of missing out on a good opportunity by going against the current atmosphere.

But at this moment.

I was thinking about the phrase in front of my eyes…

Looking at the phrase related to the quest, I couldn’t help but feel like I stopped for a while.

＜Hidden Quest – Choice＞

[You wield the power of a god and achieved a miraculous victory.

The Imperial Army, which has suffered a severe defeat, is requesting negotiations,

In response, General Gates is using this opportunity to devise a ploy to annihilate the enemy in a cunning way.

Perhaps this could be a golden opportunity for you, longing for vengeance on your traitors.

However, you know that General Gates’ methods could be a huge stain on later rebels.

Maybe this will have a significant impact on your life later.

Now you have to make a choice.

Will you help General Gates annihilate the Imperial Army and achieve revenge?

Or would you try to put a stop to this situation by provoking his timid nature?

Quest Goal: Destroy the Imperial Army or convince General Gates.

Rewards: Depending on your choice.

*Warning: Depending on the consequences of your choices, your future destiny may change dramatically.]

“… ”

Even at a glance, the contents of the quest are slowly giving off steam that is unlucky in many ways.

Looking at this,

I started thinking seriously about this, getting out of my original thoughts of quietly watching an exorcism and eating rice cakes.

‘To have a big influence on the fate of the future… How the hell is this going to happen?’

To be honest, I couldn’t think of anything specific at this point.

just abstractly,

The only thing that could be predicted was that the rebels would be morally flawed in the future, and that I, as a member, would be indirectly affected by it.

However, as much as I was hitting the warning in this way, I felt it was difficult to make a hasty decision about this matter.

at that time.

In my eyes, the figure of a person who suddenly expresses a clear objection to this situation…

The figure of General Franklin began to appear.

“Unacceptable! No matter how much it is, negotiation is a contract that proceeds with mutual trust! If I break it, I’m sure it will cause major problems with the international reputation of my rebels!”

“Stop being carefree! The important thing right now is to annihilate the enemy right in front of you rather than talking about trust between countries. Don’t you know that if we take this opportunity to eradicate them, we can surely wipe out the Imperial army in this area?”

“Of course, I will not deny the benefits of that part either. But even so, credit once lost will be more of a blow to the rebels than a loss in battle. Other countries on the continent have been watching our situation closely lately, but we can’t leave a stain like this!”

“Noisy! The commander-in-chief here is Nile. If you continue to protest like this, then military law will be applied! If you act arrogantly like this just because you accidentally made some credit, I won’t let you go!”

“Kuh… ”

Franklin was forced to keep his mouth shut by General Gates’ words.

And.

Watching her feel this kind of stuffiness, desperation, and deep resentment.

Without further ado, I had to decide what choice I would make.

*

time to stop and take a break,

Gates responded to Cromwell’s request for a private meeting and sat down with him in the command room.

It was because he judged that Cromwell’s words were worth listening to some extent, as he recognized his greatness better than the two subordinates who didn’t listen to him and even gave him a gift of great achievement.

Immediately after that, General Gates expressed his dissatisfaction and said to Cromwell in front of him.

“damn! I don’t know why you’re saying that you’re like pathetic guys, no, there’s no need to ask about etiquette or anything on the battlefield!”

“Indeed it is. At best, General Gates said he would annihilate the enemies even at the cost of damage, but it’s just frustrating that you don’t know the deep meaning.”

“yes? What else do you mean by that?”

Gates expresses his doubts about Cromwell’s words, which seem to have bones.

Regarding this, Cromwell spoke to him in a voice that sounded like deep respect.

“Isn’t that right? No matter how much it is an enemy, but if you hit the back of the head after negotiating, you will definitely be able to go to the rumor. If that happens, of course it will take even longer to achieve the general’s desired goal of becoming a rebel general. I don’t know if it’s another position, but in order to get to that position, you have to have no big flaws to be found out about.”

“!!.. eww… Well… ”

General Gates, who seems to flinch slightly at Cromwell’s words.

However, he didn’t care about his reaction. Cromwell said in one voice, feeling both respect and pity.

“But despite this, didn’t the general say he would sacrifice himself for the future of the rebels? It’s just a pity that not many people know about it, despite having such noble intentions.”

“That… I see… Speaking of… . really… Too bad… ”

General Gates agrees with Cromwell’s words.

However, at this moment, while he was talking like that, he began to be gripped by a feeling of confusion in his head in an instant.

‘ah… No, wait a minute, doesn’t that mean that even if we break up the negotiations and attack here, it will be more difficult to achieve our goal? If that happens, it must be the evangelism of the host and guest… ‘

The reason he tried to destroy the imperial army even by using dirty tricks was, of course, to solidify his own path to the Great Marshal.

No matter what the method is, the extremely simple logic that if you kill a lot of enemies, it will return to the public.

However, Cromwell’s words that this can be rather poisonous. I started making General Gates automatically revise his original thoughts.

In the first place, he was far from bravery and pursued only his success and self-confidence as his top priority.

Honestly, even this argument to fight was conditional on throwing down the weapon and attacking the defenseless enemy, so it was a decision made out of a desire to eat an easy prey. It wasn’t.

‘Even if you try to eat it, there is a high possibility that you will get an upset stomach, but there is no reason to bother dragging the soldiers to eat it. In that case… wouldn’t it be better to receive their weapons as scheduled and release them with honor? There is no need to take the risk that might happen… ‘

In any case, it is best to avoid positions that hinder one’s career.

So, while thinking that it would be better to withdraw this decision made on the spot,

General Gates said to Cromwell in front of him with a slightly stiff smile.

“Um… what… under… But… Even so, since the subordinates oppose it this far, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to follow their opinions especially this time.”

“Yes? But, General. At most, the general has decided to make a great sacrifice, but to change his mind in this way… ”

“Anyway, isn’t war fought alone? Two people who can be said to be the number two in our army oppose it, so it wouldn’t be good for me to push too hard. there… It makes me feel a little pitiful to see the enemies begging for their lives while dedicating Levatein like this.”

“… Umm… ”

Cromwell seems to be thinking for a while as if he is sorry for General Gates’ words.

Looking at this, General Gates began to have a little concern that he would have to push ahead with his work at the cost of his own plan.

Soon Cromwell let out a deep sigh and opened his mouth.

“Sigh… Okay. Well, in fact, in a war that has already been won, there is no need for the general to overdo it. Shouldn’t the person who will later become the ruler of this land have to be covered in mud like this?”

“hahahaha that… It’s not like that either. Thank you for understanding my meaning.”

With such an awkward smile, Gates is relieved that he fortunately passed the situation well.

And.

Seeing him like this, Cromwell began to breathe a sigh of relief in another sense.

‘It’s fortunate, I’m just a simple human being as I thought.’

If General Gates had a little more useless thoughts or courage, it was a decision he would not have made, but fortunately for his movements that showed a truly consistent appearance from the beginning to the present, Cromwell had no choice but to be grateful for this moment.

and right after that.

An information window that only he could see began to appear in front of his eyes.

＜Hidden Quest – Selection Success＞

[I succeeded in persuading General Gates.

Persuaded by your rhetoric, he gave up what could be a fatal stain on the rebels.

God rejoices in your choice of curbing your desire for vengeance and choosing the right degree.

God is starting to expect more from you.
