A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

‘What an idiot,’ Kaiyan thought, watching Delonce’s expression contort with satisfaction.

The first time Delonce laid eyes on Linda and had that bewildered look on his face was quite amusing. He must have been shocked to see Linda, whom he thought was dead, still alive.

“What’s going on here, Delonce?”

At that moment, a sharp voice echoed from the now silent dining table. When Kaiyan turned his gaze in that direction, he saw a rather unkempt figure looking back and forth between Delonce and Linda as if unable to comprehend.

Delonce glanced at the figure briefly, as if at a loss for words, then turned his head again. Perhaps the figure thought he was being ignored, as he briskly walked toward Linda.

“Who are you? And why are these knights from the Markain family kneeling?”

It was quite impolite, to say the least.

Considering the behavior of the knights from the Markain family, one could easily figure it out.

This guy was either incredibly clueless or pretending not to know who Linda was, and the stupid expression on his face might make it seem like he was simply ignorant.

“I am Linda. And who might you be, intruding in this place?”

“Me? I am a noble of the Armis count Family.”

“Armis Family? Hah… Just as Mr. Kaiyan said.”

Kaiyan had informed the group about what was happening in the Markain family the day before coming here. he had also told them how Linda should act.

The figure seemed confused by Linda’s words about being a noble from the Armis family.

“Kaiyan? What nonsense is this? And do you have no intention of answering my question? Who are you that the knights are behaving like this?”

“From the Armis Family, they sent someone as foolish as you. Not knowing who I am even after hearing my name and seeing the knights’ behavior…”

“What? How dare you… Wait? Could you be… Jerina’s…?”

“Yes, I am Linda de Markain, the last successor of the Markain family.”

The shocked figure turned to look at Delonce, who was prostrating himself on the ground.

“D-Delonce? How did this… No… Surely you took care of Jerina’s…”

“Ahem… Vyarolf, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.”

“W-What, what… This…!”

Upon Vyarolf’s words, Delonce turned his gaze away as if he didn’t understand.

Vyarolf, seemingly distressed by his own slip of the tongue, but it was only natural. He had just revealed that the Markain knights had tried to kill Linda in the place where they were.

Seeing the knights, who had been momentarily confused when they heard the story, now filled with anger and rising from their seats.

“What is the meaning of this! Saying that you dealt with Linda!”

“Delonce! Is what Vyarolf says true?”

Only now did Vyarolf seem to realize that he had made a mistake. He left Delonce, who couldn’t raise his head, and retreated hesitantly toward his own knights.

Observing this, Linda raised one hand to gather the knights’ attention.

“Everyone, calm down. Before we inquire about Delonce’s crimes, let us first question the Armis Family about what they have done.”

“Yes, Lady Linda. What should we do then?”

“I have many questions for that person named Vyarolf. Please apprehend him.”

“Yes! Understood! Everyone, capture Vyarolf!”

Following Linda’s command, the knights, excluding Delonce, drew their swords and approached Vyarolf and his knights.

‘Hmm… I may not need to step forward.’

In terms of the number of Markain family knights, excluding Delonce, there were only eleven, whereas Vyarolf brought along just five. Judging from what he sensed, their strengths seemed relatively even. So, Kaiyan, seeing the Markain knights with the numerical advantage, observed from the sidelines without drawing his swords.

“These, these rascals! I am a noble of the House of Armis! Any contact with me is tantamount to declaring war!”

As Vyarolf shouted, the knights approaching hesitated and turned to look at Linda. Linda glanced at Kaiyan and then nodded decisively to the knights as if she had made up her mind.

“It’s alright. Capture Vyarolf. As for the knights who resist… you may kill them if necessary.”

“Yes! What are you waiting for? Subdue them quickly!”

As the Markain knights approached rapidly, Vyarolf’s knights swung their swords, and in response, Markain knights also brandished their weapons.

Clang!

“Overwhelm them with numbers!”

“You Armis bastards! Die!”

After a while, the result of the knights fighting each other came out, each aiming for their lives.

“Ugh… My, my knights…!”

Eleven standing Markain knights and five knights lying on the cold dining hall floor. And Vyarolf, who was gazing at such knights with a despairing face.

The knights protecting Vyarolf fought quite hard considering their abilities, but the result was a clear victory for the Markain knights, as expected.

There was no way for knights with similar abilities to overcome a group more than twice their number.

“This is the Markain family declaring war on the Armis family! To dare to do such a thing to me, a noble of the House of a count…!”

“…Take Vyarolf and Delonce.”

The knights who received Linda’s command dragged Delonce and Vyarolf, who were still kneeling on the floor, outside.

‘Hmm… Thanks to Melvios’ false communication as one of the traitors, Linda’s group was able to easily enter the Markain territory. Furthermore, thanks to the foolish Vyarolf, there was no need to prove the guilt of Delonce and the House of Armis anymore.’

As Kaiyan turned his head slightly, Linda, who had acted decisively just a moment ago, was now having an uneasy conversation with Anton.

“Lady Linda! Well done! I never thought there would be a traitor in the Markain family! It seems that the family has changed a lot in the past ten years.”
