Chapter 126

The next morning .

The soldiers in the Fortress, who ate and drank last night, were waking up from their respective places while rubbing their eyes .

“Ahhm? I slept really well . What about the reinforcements?”

“Haven’t they come yet?”

“A little more time and they’ll be here . ”

Not knowing that Luke had lied to them, everyone was still hanging by the ropes .

The swollen hope of a group of reinforcements coming in from the south .

“Reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming!”

“Where? On my, are those reinforcements?”

“Oh my! Let’s open the gate quickly!”

The soldiers opened the gates of the Fortress . But when they saw the starting team of the reinforcements, they were dismayed .

It was because they were the separate troops which had been led by Hobart and Anna .

“What is this? It’s just you guys? What about the reinforcements?” Asked the soldier at the gate .

“Ah, about that…”

The soldiers who were deceived had been told the truth by the one who entered .

When the truth reached the soldiers, they all rushed over to Luke who was in the parade ground .

“Sir, what happened to the reinforcements?”

“Are they not coming, sir?”

“Was that really just a trick?”

The questions from the soldiers flowed out non-stop .

Luke raised his hand as a sign of asking them to stop their questions . And the soldiers who realized that they were being rude to their commander, withdrew .

“We are sorry . ”

“Oh, that, we were just…!”

It was short, half of the soldiers were on the verge of crying, and the other half were angry .

“Did you deceive us?” Asked a soldier .

“To deceive the enemy, I had no choice but to deceive you . It was necessary to break the enemy’s attack somehow and divert their flow,” said Luke .

“But…”

The soldiers stared at Luke for a moment .

It was because of the fact that they had been lied to and deceived .

But if they thought about it, if it weren’t for the lie told by the commander, the Fortress would have been captured by the enemy’s continuous attacks .

They would have never been able to enjoy the feast or the party .

“Don’t be so sad or upset . There won’t be any battle for a few days,” said Luke .

“Is that true?”

“Yeah, trust me . This time, that isn’t a lie . ”

By the time Luke had told them that, a soldier who was on duty of spying the Fortress came running with news of the Volga Republic army’s camp .

“There are no troops trying to enter the Fortress from the outside, except for a few horsemen who entered the Fortress this morning . There were no reinforcements for the enemy!”

“We were completely deceived by them!” Said a soldier .

“We need to resume our attack right now and wipe out those snakes out of here, sir!”

“Right . Go ahead and issue the order!” Asked a soldier .

The staff was asking Tyron to issue an order to resume the battle, but Tyron didn’t open his mouth . He was deep in thought .

He was a wizard .

Unlike the hasty staff who were knights, he was thinking about various possibilities .

‘In the end, we were deceived and gave them a good pleasant night to rest . But, would attacking right now be the best decision for us?’

They were given some time, like a vacation break .

The soldiers of the enemy drank all night and deceived the Republic .

Tyron was wondering if they would be deceived once again .

‘A trap to attract us? If so, we would fail if we attack blindly . ’

Thinking so, Tyron gave orders to his staff .

“Pick out five thousand vanguards . Attack the fort by picking the units which didn’t participate in yesterday’s attack . ”

“Understood, sir!”

The staff was disappointed as they were ordered to launch the canon, but were still content with the commander’s decision to attack them .

When the meeting was done, the units were organized, and something unexpected happened .

“What did you say? A messenger from the Fortress has come?”

“Yes . A while back, he was seen holding a white flag . ”

The staff frowned at the act . They were all suspicious of what the commander of the Fortress was trying to accomplish .

“Sir, there is no reason for us to meet him . So slash his neck right away . ”

“No . Killing a messenger who came in to talk is a barbaric act . It will defile the beliefs of our soldiers and troops, as well as the entire Volga Republic . ”

“Then let’s just ignore the request . ”

The staff was fighting with one another like wild dogs . Tyron asked the knight who had come in with the information about the commander’s visit .

“Hasn’t he told you why he has come here?”

“He said that he would talk about it directly to the commander of the camp,” responded the knight .

“Is that so? Then what were his role and statement?”

“That, that is…”

The knight was flustered . He looked at Tyron directly in his eyes and said,

“His name is Luke de Rakan . He is a Viscount, and the Commander of the Fortress . ”

“What, what did you say?!”

The eyes of the staff around Tyron went wide .

Not a knight or a soldier, but the enemy himself had directly come to meet them!

And he did that after making his subordinates enjoy a night of feast and partying .

“Hahahaha!”

Marquis Tyron burst into laughter .

The staff was all bewildered with Tyron’s action .

“There is a huge gap between us . The descendant of Rakan?”

“Yes, he definitely said that . ”

“This is interesting . Call him in . I’ll see what tricks he is trying to do . ”

The staff kept on talking, but Tyron didn’t listen to a single thing they said .

Surely the enemy’s strategy was a trick . However, Tyron was wondering what kind of character would the descendant of the Warrior Rakan, who the fairies considered as their enemy, possessed .
