4 – Anyway, NTR crossed the line
edward Cromwell,
His reputation was well known even within the rebels.
He is a person who has shown outstanding performance as the knight commander of the Imperial Army for the past two years,
From the point of view of the colonial rebels, a master who was regarded as a nightmare on the battlefield.
There were well over dozens of large and small battles defeated by his hand, and there was not a single person in the rebels who did not know his name, even if he had not seen his face.
As such, from the point of view of the rebels, it was an existence that had become an object of reverence beyond simple fear.
But at this moment,
Those present here, including General Franklin.
Looking at the man in front of me, I couldn’t help but feel sincere compassion.
In general, it was a well-known fact that the military was inherently full of absurdities and that large and small things happened.
However, the stories that came out of Cromwell’s mouth could only be said to have crossed the line by a long time, even considering that fact.
The commander-in-chief was having an affair with his fiancée,
Those called subordinates were blinded by success and betrayed their superiors who had led them.
In addition, a purge to hide these facts is predicted as soon as the war is over.
Listening to the miserable situation of the man who, until just a few hours ago, was considered the equivalent of a god of death on the battlefield,
Rebel soldiers were naturally caught up in human feelings of anger.
“How could such nonsense… ”
“No, did you do that to Lord Cromwell and not to anyone else?”
“I knew General Neto wasn’t normal, but how could he do something like that… ”
“That bitch named Clara is more of a problem! How could you betray the man you’ve been so committed to and shake your back in front of another man? If it had been me, I would have started stabbing myself as soon as I found out!”
As a human being, the soldiers who heard the story that could not but cause instinctive displeasure were
reacted vigorously.
No matter how much this place is a battleground and a place where each other’s lives are taken, at least there was something to protect as a human being.
To allies who would be insulted even if they committed it to the enemy right away… The bravery of the imperial army officers who perpetrated a person who was worthy of being called a hero.
Thus, the rebel soldiers had no choice but to feel deep compassion for Cromwell, who had a painful face in front of them.
So, after the difficult story was over,
Cromwell spoke in an anguished voice with tears in his eyes.
“That is why… In the end, I had no choice but to come here with my back to the Empire. Because I couldn’t die even if it was unfair… At least, in order to get revenge on those filthy bastards who have repaid the kindness so far.”
Cromwell expresses resentment with clenched fists.
In response, General Franklin let out a small sigh and spoke in a quiet voice.
“… I understand what you mean. If you’ve been through that… … I couldn’t have stayed still.”
General Franklin speaks with bitter feelings in the words of the man in front of him.
Then, while comforting him who was expressing his pain, she spoke with sincerity.
“I know and understand your situation, and as the chief protecting this place, I will formally accept your surrender. And, if things go well, a chance for revenge.”
“go… Thank you. General Franklin.”
At first glance, Franklin speaks in a slightly businesslike manner, without much emotional agitation.
But at this moment
Aside from the outward appearance of keeping a cool head.
In her mind now, a soldier who could not compare with the soldiers in this position,
A feeling of deep anger beyond self-blasphemy was rising.
‘These dog-like Jaeguk soldiers… No, even me, my enemy, do that to someone I respect? What’s there? The bitch who was even engaged was embraced by another man? How could you do such nonsense… ‘
Feeling strong enough to be ashamed of being the same woman, Franklin continued his thoughts while trying to hide his simmering feelings.
‘Is that bastard named Clara really sane? How could you abandon Mr. Cromwell and no one else? If it were me, I wouldn’t have even thought of that… mind… If I were a fiancé… . With this person every day… ! ummm… ”
Like that, Franklin managed to keep his expression, suppressing the thoughts that suddenly started popping out of his anger.

Meanwhile,
Empathize with the tragedies you have experienced, no matter how big or small.
Looking at the rebels who accepted him like that,
Cromwell let out a deep sigh of relief.
*
General Franklin, who showed a slightly demeaning attitude and formally acknowledged my surrender.
Looking at her, I could feel relief that I had passed another dangerous hurdle.
‘It’s nice, I think it worked out pretty well with this… ‘
In the meantime, the reputation that Edward Cromwell had built up in the game.
And, even though it’s a story in a game, unless you’re a crazy person on NTR, you can’t help but feel compassion that can’t help but be naturally triggered in that you’ve experienced enough things to cause anger in reality.
The combination of these things allowed my surrender to pass without such a major hit.
and right after that.
In front of my eyes, a new information window that only I can see began to emerge.
＜Hidden Quest – Preparing for Revenge＞
[Away from the traitors, you have formally joined the colonial rebels.
Upon hearing your circumstances, they welcome your surrender.
However, they still have doubts about you in their hearts.
Appreciate them and earn their recognition as full allies.
Take advantage of the weaknesses of the filthy traitors and it won’t be too difficult.
Quest Goal: Earn the trust of the rebels.
Reward: A new ally. Secret route opened.]
A new quest that has been updated as if you’ve been waiting for it.
Looking at this, I can understand why I was given such a buff earlier.
‘In the end, I’ll give you strength, so I’m saying that you should fight hard with this… Well, that was my intention from the beginning.’
Since he was in a position to split with the Empire anyway, the correct answer was to make sure that he was willing to turn around.
And the best way to do this was to run it, which was also given as a hint in the quest guide window.

-Jjang-Geurang!
“That… what is that… is it sound? who… who… Who has become?”
A woman drops the teacup she was holding on the floor.
Richard, a female warrior with short blonde hair and blue eyes.
Looking at her face, fellow black-haired sorceress William lazily tilted his teacup and said:
“Our former Knight Commander, Cromwell, said he had escaped. I heard that they fled to where the rebels were.”
“That… what is that… ah… no it won’t… It can’t be. thing… is that a lie? ah… Are you kidding me in the morning?”
“No, why would I tell such a boring joke during precious tea time? obviously left Right now, the 2nd Knights camp is upset because of that.”
Richard speaks in a trembling voice.
However, William replied with a puzzled look on his face.
“Such… that… can’t…”
At William’s confirmation kill, Richard began to show an empty expression.
‘The Commander of the Knights of Cromwell left?… That person… Our enemy on the battlefield?’
I can’t quite accept it,
A fact I don’t want to accept.
It began to give Richard a very terrifying sensation.
Shock and awe…
And a terrifying sense of despair.
I was seized by a feeling I had never experienced before, a visceral yet terrifying feeling.
She automatically started to feel her whole body tremble.

Meanwhile, seeing her like this, William said in a calm voice.
“Hey, why are you making such a fuss? It has nothing to do with us now. Now I’m going to suck all the sweet water. Rather, that intrusive person allowed me to go to the place where I would die on my own. Isn’t that a good thing?”
As far as the overwhelming superiority of troops,
William and other generals of the Imperial Army expected that they would be able to capture Fort Stanwick within half a day as long as the maintenance was over and an attack was launched.
Regarding the fact that former superior Cromwell, who had become a thorn in his eyes because he blew his head a while ago, entered such a rebel group,
William thought he had just gone in to die openly.
“If you say rebels anyway, that’s all there are hundreds of people trapped in that snot-sized fortress. Let’s push the fortress away like this and cut the guy’s head as well.”
Like that, William emptied his teacup while taking his time.
But… With a colleague who is taking such a leisurely seat in front of him. Richard began to mutter in a voice tinged with heavy fear.
“no… ”
“… .what?”
“You… do not know… You are a wizard… I don’t know what kind of person he is… ”
“What nonsense are you talking about? What don’t you know if I don’t know that person? Even if it looks like this, I’ve been sucking sweet water with him for a year… He’s certainly a great person, but he thinks that a person without a Knights can do something alone… ”
“Kuh… ”
The next moment, without further answering William’s words, Richard hurriedly rose from his seat.
Richard hurriedly headed somewhere.
Seeing her like this, William muttered softly, feeling absurd.
“No, why are you doing that? Could it be that, apart from the back of the head, he actually liked Cromwell or something? I really… I’m dumbfounded.”
William pours tea into the cup again without worrying about the future.

Meanwhile, leaving William alone who knows nothing like that,
Richard hurriedly started running towards the place where Commander-in-Chief Neto was.
‘I’m… I’m out of time… If I don’t do something about it… Damn it! How did things get to this point…’
Target number 3 is locked in.
