The Leader of the N*TR Knights Decided To Escape

19 – Shut up you bastard!

General Neto is suddenly dragged away by soldiers and forced to kneel in the barracks.

In front of his tightly bound eyes, General Bagoin was looking this way with a cold expression.

“ruler… General! What the hell is this? I… What crime are you saying I have committed?”

“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

General Bagoin asked a question in a cold voice.

At his words, General Neto began to shout as if appealing for deep resentment.

“I am really sorry! Certainly I couldn’t capture that fortress, but that doesn’t mean I’ve suffered a decisive defeat. But how could you do this to me!”

“Shut up! I already know what you’ve done, even worse than a beast!”

“big… What are you talking about! You’ve been insulting me ever since, but the warden has never done anything like that!”

Captain Bagoin’s words feel like frost

In response, General Neto refuted with his mouth, but he began to feel an ominous feeling for a moment.

Although he is claiming resentment, it is because there are a lot of mistakes that come to his mind right now.

‘Couldn’t you… Did you notice that I’ve been inflating my achievements so far? Either he or I found out about the munitions I had been stealing… ‘

There are so many things that have been hidden so far that it is ambiguous to pinpoint something.

at that time

Towards General Neto, who was caught up in such anxiety, General Bagoin spoke in a voice filled with cold anger.

“Edward Cromwell… You wouldn’t know what you did to him?”

“!”

one’s name that jumped out of his mouth

At this, General Neto’s face hardened as it was…

Against him, General Bagoin continued to express his anger.

“Didn’t you covet Cromwell’s exploits and frame him? A superior is jealous of his subordinate’s work and commits such an indecent thing? How arrogant you are to make the honor of the Imperial Army dirty!”

“That… that is a misunderstanding! I… I was just trying to take down a filthy traitor who was showing signs of betraying the Empire! As evidence of that, did not Cromwell join the rebels because he was afraid that his sins would be exposed!”

Of course, the reality is that he escaped to survive after figuring out his conspiracy, but it is true that he escaped anyway.

Hearing this, General Neto tried to somehow blame the situation on his part.

But.

Regarding his attempt, General Bagoin spoke with even greater anger.

“It’s not a traitor, it’s an abandoned master general! The great achievements he has made so far are such that even the emperor is aware of them! Making such a talented person who can be called a hero be captured by dirty desire and escape?”

“That… it is not! I don’t know what it looks like, but what he really is is a filthy traitor! No matter how much the warden coveted the feat, how could he even commit such a thing? This is an insult to the warden!”

General Neto desperately refutes it with saliva on his lips, as it is clear what will happen if he admits it here.

Although, judging from General Bagoin’s movements, it seemed that the truth of what he had done to Cromwell was known quite a lot.

However, if you change your point of view a little, it was a situation where you could make an excuse that it was to pressure the traitor.

For whatever reason, it was clear that he had joined the rebels.

In response, General Neto did his best to claim his innocence and did his best to drive all of this to the side that Cromwell said was a traitor.

But.

-puck!

“Cuck!”

General Bagoin kicked him wildly.

He was kicked in the stomach by a hard boot and rolled on the floor in terrible pain.

The general said in a cold voice to General Neto.

“Yeah… In a way, you might think so. But then how do you explain why you stole Cromwell’s fiancée?”

“!!”

A general who tells secret secrets that he never thought of

As a result, the face of General Neto, who was lying on the floor, hardened as it was.

“A nasty piece of trash… What’s wrong with the subject of even stealing someone else’s fiancée? How can I trust what you said about what a man shouldn’t have done?”

“Now.. general.. that.. that is…”

A fatal moral flaw that closes any excuses he had.

At this, General Neto was left speechless.

General Bagoin spoke to him in a sharp voice.

“To think that one of the best talents in the empire is leaving because of dirty desires. This thing can never be left alone. After this battle is over, I will report all of this to His Majesty!”

“!! ruler… . General!”

General Bagoin’s declaration that he would virtually end his life

If his actions were handed over to the Emperor and the Imperial Council, General Neto would no longer be able to maintain his position as a general, and in the worst case, there was a risk of being strangled on the gallows according to military discipline.

‘It can’t be! I… How did I get here! Now I can’t just roll over because of one lowly commoner! never… Absolutely not!’

For him, who has done all sorts of dirty things to reach this position, this is a future he can never accept.

In order to somehow escape this crisis, General Neto bowed his head to the person in front of him and began to plead with him as best he could.

“ruler… General! Please clear up the misunderstanding! The warden is unfair! I’m just pre-disposing of that filthy traitor! It’s not because I’m selfish!”

General Neto complains of resentment over and over again.

However, looking at him like this, General Bagoin gave instructions to his subordinates around him.

“What are you doing! He is a criminal who ruined the reputation of the empire. Get the author imprisoned immediately!”

“Your general!”

“I will follow your orders!”

The soldiers dragging the bound Neto to prison according to the order.

In response, General Neto protested violently and began to shout in a desperate voice.

“Leave these… bastards! General! Great General! The warden is unfair! General! General!!!”

Neto glows while being dragged by the soldiers.

The more I think about it, the more disgusted I feel about this incident,

General Bagoin sat down and began to seriously consider the damage caused by this incident.

‘Cromwell’s escape… That bastard has caused such a great loss…’

The tremendous reputation that Cromwell has built so far.

Although the position was still held by General Neto, Cromwell was making a name for himself both inside and outside the Rebel Army and the Imperial Army.

The fact that he escaped due to such an unfortunate incident not only caused a huge loss in terms of strategy,

If this fact was known, it would have a great negative impact on the morale of the entire Imperial army.

‘I can’t… In order to keep him locked up for a while, we have no choice but to put this matter on the line, and Neto will be formally punished after the battle is over. And, if possible, capture Cromwell and appease him…’

With such thoughts in mind, General Bagoin turned his gaze toward the forthcoming battle.

In any case, as soon as the urgent thing was to win in order to overturn this vicious atmosphere, he began to devise a strategy calmly as a general.

My situation where I have to win with Gates, my boss who was beaten by the damn thing.

Looking at the quest information window that popped up as if responding to this, I began to think seriously.

＜Hidden Quest, Appeasement and Intimidation＞

[Horenshaw Gates, Commander of the Eastern Rebel Army, arrived with reinforcements.

With an army of reinforcements and the position of commander, he naturally took command of the battle to come.

However, it is a fact that he already knows that he is an incompetent human being.

If the battle continued like this, defeat would be certain.

If I could secure independent command from him somehow, I’d be able to take advantage of this situation…

Quest Objective: Gain command over your troops

Reward: Divine Protection, Hidden Skill]

A quest guide window that clearly informs you that if you fight like this, you will perish, and that you have to move independently anyway.

As I looked at the contents, I became clearly aware of the fact that, no matter what, I had to boil that bastard Gates to find the answer.

‘Securing the command… It certainly won’t be easy… but it won’t be an impossible task for me right now.’

The character and purpose of General Gates was already well known through knowledge of the game.

And. Knowing a person like this means that you can manipulate him to some extent.

In that respect, the quest itself had a good chance of success, but…

Aside from that, my attention was more focused on the reward that followed.

‘God bless you, it seems you’re given it for battle anyway… What is the hidden skill?’

Although I was a little disappointed in my own fighting ability, I was a paladin who had all-skills at the highest level.

Everything that can be learned as a paladin in the game has been learned.

In that respect, I couldn’t even guess right away what that hidden skill was.

‘I don’t think it’s as bad as it’s a quest reward, but… Somehow, it feels like the scale is getting bigger as it follows the new route… ‘
