The Leader of the NTR Knights Decided To Escape chapter 6

6 – 100% chance of a thread

The morning after surrendering to the rebels.

I, General Franklin’s invitation… However, in fact, I was forced to attend the meeting by order.

The leaders who are now commanding about 700 rebels stationed here at Fort Stenwick, who faced them like that.

Since the size of the troops was not that large, there was only one general, Franklin, and the rest were only five generals who were in charge of managing 100 to 200 soldiers each.

In terms of scale, it was smaller than the morning meeting of the Knights held when I was in the Imperial Army.

But aside from that fact,

Anyway, I stayed calm and listened to their stories.

“Then, from now on, we will check our current situation once again.”

Time to check the situation here, led by Franklin.

To sum it up roughly, the main force of the rebels was currently coming here, and in order to survive, they had to defend it somehow until then.

Fortunately, food was plentiful, and drinking water was also obtained through a well inside the fortress without any problems.

The problem is, of course, the Imperial Army stationed out there.

It was a common opinion among all that it would not be an easy fight even if they enjoyed the advantage of the fortress, as the difference in troops was more than five times greater and the level of training was overwhelming.

And about these facts, I already knew from my point of view that I had already cleared the quest in the original work.

‘By the way, I know very well that the fort’s gunnery ended in failure… ‘

Still, the rebels endured hard for about a day, but in the end, they collapsed after two days.

In the process, Franklin also fought to the end and was eventually killed by the hands of ‘Cromwell’.

Still, in the end, it was good to be able to die by my hand, showing a military-like appearance to the bone.

In any case, it is a story from the perspective of the game.

Now, in reality, I was in a position where I had to hold on to this place until the savior came by any means, contrary to what I did in the game.

And in this regard,

A lot of thoughts were already coming to my mind through my skills and the jjambab that had been polished and polished through the game so far.

But,

‘Honestly, even if it’s not easy, there are plenty of ways to steam them up… but it’s impossible in many ways to execute them as they are, right?’

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the troops I could use at will like I did in the days of the Imperial Army.

Although he surrendered and became one of them, he was still not in a position to have a voice or to give orders to someone.

Even myself, as a subordinate under the direction of General Franklin, it was a burdensome situation to do something on my own.

‘Still, I think I’ll be able to survive because I have basic jjambab… To be honest, this is a bit frustrating.’

Like that, it’s a pity, but I was thinking that there was nothing I could do about this part…

“Okay, now that the rough explanation is over. Now, Cromwell, I want to hear your story.”

“… Yeah? Who?… me?”

General Franklin, who suddenly picks me up and talks to me.

I was momentarily taken aback by her sudden remark.

Towards me, General Franklin spoke in a calm voice.

“What are you so surprised about? Aren’t you the only one here who clearly knows the dynamics of the Imperial Army? In addition, since he was a fairly famous general within the empire, there must be something that comes to mind. Let’s talk about what you’re thinking.”

“ah… Yes. Got it… It is.”

Apart from the feeling of being stiff, General Franklin proceeds with work from a fairly rational point of view.

Looking at these impressive points in her, I carefully started talking about the things I had in mind.

The huge army is obviously strong, but the action is as slow as its huge body, and there are many parts that can be aimed at at the same time.

According to my standards like that, I talked about all my thoughts.

Honestly, even so, I was thinking that the possibility of this proposal being adopted as it is is very small.

‘I may be able to apply it to some extent, but… Even so, there’s no way I’ll take my word for it.’

There was no way he could follow the former Imperial Knight Commander, who had just joined in less than 24 hours, and who was also an enemy.

Of course, they were accepted as allies by telling desperate stories, but as stated in the quest description, their position would have been close to a situation where they were still to watch.

And in this respect, I couldn’t help but feel a little regret while talking.

‘In this situation, aiming for something beyond simple endurance… Wouldn’t that be too much?’

With that thought, I finished the story, and now I decided to see how they accept my story.

By the way…

“I get it. If not, let’s proceed as is.”

“… Yes?”

“I fully accepted the stories and said I would act accordingly.”

“… ”

“ruler… General?”

General Franklin, who makes decisions so hotly.

I couldn’t help but put on a blank expression for a moment.

And…

“ah… It’s such a reckless decision anyway!”

“You say you surrendered, but how can you trust Lee to make a decision so easily?”

“Of course, I have experienced unfortunate things, but it is still dangerous to fully trust Cromwell.”

As if to replace my inner thoughts, other lieutenants sitting in the seat began to open their mouths with deep concerns and questions.

But.

To their protest, General Franklin spoke in a voice that was both hard and unfeeling.

“Certainly, it is not impossible. But I want to ask you in reverse. In this situation, if we do not obey him, is there any other way?”

“… .Yes?”

“That… that’s… ”

At that, the adjutants reacted momentarily, and General Franklin continued to speak in a tone that felt cool.

“As I reported earlier, our current situation is despair itself. A large army of enemies will attack right away tomorrow, and we will only have to hold out for half a day at the shortest and a day at the longest. Now that annihilation is certain anyway, wouldn’t it be the right answer to put your hopes on even the slightest possibility?”

“Um… ”

“that’s… Yes, but… ”

“Those with dissatisfaction may remain here. However, if there is even a slight possibility of saving the lives of the soldiers and defending this place, I am ready to take that hand, even if the opponent is a devil.”

“… ”

General Franklin, who, based on the lack of an answer to the situation, decided to fully accept my story, which at least seemed to have some possibility.

Seeing her attitude

Once again, I was deeply impressed by the fact that she was a hard-nosed strategist and not one that was swayed by emotions.

‘Indeed, a person is a person. I didn’t come out as one of the bosses in the last chapter for nothing.’

That time, when I was feeling calm joy about the current situation of being under such a sharp boss, not that beggar General Neto.

General Franklin gave me instructions in a cool voice.

“Then, to organize the current story in detail once again, let each deputy know the contents and proceed as it is.”

“Yes, General.”

“I will follow your orders.”

Cromwell explained the details in front of his eyes.

Watching him, Franklin struggled to contain a smile of unbearable anticipation and excitement from his lips.

‘As expected, Captain Cromwell is amazing… ! How can you come up with such a bold plan under these circumstances? You don’t have to be afraid of anything now! I can defeat the Imperial Army or whatever!’

Although the words he had said earlier to convince the soldiers were true, apart from that, Franklin would have believed and followed Cromwell’s words wholeheartedly, even if it wasn’t for such a desperate situation.

It’s not just a vague feeling,

It was based on the performance of a man named Cromwell, whom she had already seen and heard enough of, and the temperament she showed in the process.

A person who never betrays the expectations of those who believe in him and follow him.

Even if it was an enemy, it was a being with a noble character who taught us what trust is in this bloody battlefield.

Even though she was an enemy, she had respect and liking for this man, and this character had a great effect.

At the same time, Franklin was already convinced that such a strategy would be 100% successful, as Cromwell had come up with a plan based on the situation of the Imperial Army, which he must have been fully aware of.

and after a while

Finally, Cromwell’s operation explained… and literally right after the assignment is over.

Franklin immediately got up from his seat and spoke again with a firm expression on his face.

“Then, let’s start the operation right now. We keep in mind that this is the only way for us to survive, and we do it without any errors.”

“Yes, General.”

“All right.”

The adjutants get up from their seats and start to scatter.

Then she looked at Cromwell in front of her and spoke in a calm tone.

“I trusted you and I risked everything. Please do not disappoint me.”

“Yes, General, I will bet my honor, and I will definitely live up to your expectations.”

Cromwell answered with a firm will on his handsome face.

Seeing that scene, a short word came to Franklin’s mind.

‘Hey… ‘
