A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Taking Vyarolf out with him, Kaiyan noticed that the soldiers were rushing toward the underground warehouse, seemingly having sensed something belatedly.

Standing still and waiting for them, he watched as Anton, who knew him, approached, panting heavily.

“Ugh… huff… Kaiyan, what’s going on? The emergency bell just rang.”

“Emergency bell? Ah, so that’s why everyone’s gathered.”

The emergency bell was used to alert about dangers at the central core of the stronghold. It seemed like someone had rung it upon seeing a fallen guard.

Anton, who had been catching his breath, looked at the masked duo behind Kaiyan and then pointed with his hand.

“Who are these people? And why is Vyarolf with you?”

“These individuals are assassins sent by the Armis family, and Vyarolf is now a guest of the Markain family.”

“Guest? Assassins… rather, why is Vyarolf, a noble from the Armis family, considered a guest now? And what about…”

Anton seemed more uneasy about Vyarolf, a noble from the Armis family who had tried to kill Linda than the assassins.

“No, it’s not like that. But now there’s a use for him. More importantly, there are three assassins inside. Please take care of them, especially these two here. They’re still alive, so make sure they don’t escape. I have other matters to attend to.”

“Oh, yes! Understood! Squad 2, go inside and check on Delonce and the assassins!”

Seeing Anton directing the soldiers, Kaiyan remembered Linda and headed in her direction, with Vyarolf accompanying him.

As they walked and arrived near the mansion, knights in plate armor were blocking the way, swords drawn.

“Is it because of the emergency bell?”

Ignoring them and attempting to pass by the mansion, a knight thrust his sword toward Kaiyan.

“Halt.”

“…What’s going on?”

“Due to the emergency bell, you cannot enter the mansion now. Also…”

The knight’s sword pointed at Vyarolf.

“Why are you bringing Vyarolf with you? He should be imprisoned in the underground warehouse.”

“Eek…! I, I just followed him when he told me to!”

Vyarolf, a pitiful figure, stammered. He looked at Vyarolf, who had fallen to the ground in fear, and then turned his gaze to the knight.

“I need to meet Linda. With him.”

“That’s…! You can’t meet the lord right now! Especially not with him!”

The knights seemed very displeased with me, probably due to their belief that it would be easier to speak to their lord and because Linda relied too much on me.

“These foolish individuals. They didn’t know anything when Delonce was trying to kill Linda.”

Watching their resentment, Kaiyan couldn’t help but regret.

“I should have taken care of these individuals along with Delonce.”

Even if the issue with the Armis family was resolved, could he really trust these individuals and leave Linda in their care?

What should be done with these inept individuals, both in skill and intellect?

As Kaiyan pondered while looking at the knights, the mansion’s doors opened, and Linda, holding Rieka, walked outside.

“What’s going on?”

“My lord! The emergency bell rang!”

“The bell rang, and I heard it too. So what’s going on?”

“Oh, that… The soldiers are checking, so we’ll know soon.”

“I see. But why were they pointing their swords at Mr. Kaiyan?”

“Huh? Well… When the emergency bell rang, I told them we couldn’t allow anyone suspicious inside, but they were trying to force their way in. Moreover, that guy brought a Vyarolf that should be imprisoned in the underground warehouse.”

Linda glanced at the Vyarolf after hearing the knight’s explanation and sighed.

“Phew… I told them Mr. Kaiyan is my guest. Please put away your swords.”

“Yes? Oh, yes! Understood.”

The knights reluctantly sheathed their swords and stepped back. Linda approached Kaiyan.

“Sir, what’s going on?”

“Armis family sent assassins to kill the Vyarolf.”

“What? So, what happened to the assassins?”

“We captured two of them, but the rest… they’re probably dead, so don’t worry. Right now, Anton is commanding the soldiers to handle it, so it will be resolved soon.”

“Armis family is really scary to try and kill their own nobles… Mr. Kaiyan, you’ve helped me again. Thank you.”

Linda looked at Kaiyan with grateful eyes, reminiscent of his sister.

“Ahem… Anyway, let’s go inside. There are things we need to discuss.”

“Yes, understood.”

Ignoring the foolish knights, Kaiyan led Linda and Vyarolf into his room on the third floor of the mansion.

He placed the trembling Vyarolf in a corner and had Linda and Rieka sit on chairs.

“Now, shall we make a plan?”

“What kind of plan?”

“Well…”

“Armis family will suffer a great deal.”

“Is that possible…? I think what you mentioned last time should be enough…”

“No, that’s not enough. That method is to prevent the Armis family from interfering with the Markain family. It’s not about revenge.”

The first plan Kaiyan had told Linda about was primarily for the safety of the Markain family, the most important part.

However, even if that plan succeeded, it would only prevent the Armis family from interfering with the Markain territory and not cause any significant harm.

“I want revenge for Linda’s family.”

Having lost his own family, Kaiyan knew well how profound the sorrow could be. However, leaving Armis Count unpunished was unthinkable.

It was not only Linda’s revenge but also an expression of Kaiyan’s anger towards Armis count, who had orchestrated such a thing.

“If Vyarolf helps us, something great might happen.”

“Eek…!”

As Vyarolf met Kaiyan’s gaze, who looked at him like a predator eyeing its prey, he cowered and banged his head on the floor.

‘Anyway, once he realized that the assassins really came to kill him, he would have no choice but to cooperate with me. After all, the head of the Armis family had abandoned him.’

“Now, Vyarolf, tell us a very simple task you need to do. You will be in my hands from now on.”

“Huh?”

Three days after the assassination attempt, a one-sided communication came from the Armis family.

The message was a request for direct communication with Vyarolf, and when it was refused, the Armis family left a message saying they would file a territorial dispute with the Markain family before ending the communication.

“Sir, it seems like the Armis family believes that Vyarolf is dead. Everything is going according to your plan!”
