As you draw your weapon, the mercenaries scolding the workers look surprised.

“Kaiyan. No, but killing him is a bit.... ”

“Mr. Barnes. ”

“Uh...”

“Be prepared."

I didn't draw my weapon to kill the workers. It was chosen to face the imminent danger.

I intend to devote all my energy from the beginning as my senses are ringing strongly.

“What do you mean? ”

“Someone's coming. ”

“Huh?"

Whoo-hoo!

The vibrations are getting stronger.

Turning your gaze to the right, where your senses are strongly felt, a group of horsemen are rapidly approaching from far away in the plains of Lewis.

That's them. The ones that got my senses to the extreme.

“Are they…? ”

“Maybe it's the enemy. It's about Jansen.”

When Jansen arrives at his destination, do they appear on time? I can see they have a deep connection to Jansen.

Why he set this up and what he wants.

‘We'll know when they come. ’

“Oops! Everyone draw your weapons and gather your wagons together! ”

“What's going on, Barnson? ”

“Look! Strange creatures are coming! Move quickly!”

Barneson also quickly instructed me to look at my firm face and the new ones and see if the situation had gone awkward.

Because the mercenaries are so scared, let's gather the wagons together before they arrive, draw their weapons and wait in front of them.

A few moments later, the strangers arrive on horseback in front of the group.

“Whoa! Haha, did you wait for us? ”

‘Five……. ’

There are five of them. Though it may be merely a sensation, the power felt by the senses is unlikely. At least the one at the front is my equal. The other four are slightly below me.

‘It's disadvantageous. And to fight while guarding the mercenaries.... ’

The numbers are ahead of us, but nine mercenaries, except me, will be slaughtered in no time.

But it is very disadvantageous to fight while guarding them.

At that time, a man in black leather armor who looked luxurious stepped forward.

“Hmm? I take it you've already confirmed Jansen's absence from the broken wagon? Khh.”

“Who are you? The ones that are connected to Jansen? ”

“Are you the leader of the mercenaries on this quest? ”

The man asked the reverse question without answering Barneson's question.

“Yes. Who are you? Tell me why you're here! ”

“Oh, bother. We're in trouble because of you guys. Just go quietly to Gamian and you can live another day. ”

“What the hell are you up to? ”

“Hehe, I can let you know if you have any questions. They're gonna die soon. ”

Chaen

He finally pulled the sword out of the sword at his waist. This steel sword is much less than my sword, not used by regular mercenaries. But it's more than knight-grade.

'These guys are knights. ’

As soon as I saw the sword, I knew. That's why they only do that for five.

The second time, a knight would have learned advanced swordsmanship. Even if you don't use error in a word, you're a skilled mercenary who can be killed instantly.

If there are five of them out there, it's weird to take on mercenaries while playing around.

“Mr Barnson... step back. ”

“W-well! Kaiyan.”

You embarrass him and pull him back to figure out what to do. As long as I know they're knights, the mercenaries are no help at all. A way to increase your chances of winning by fighting alone.

You take a few steps forward, holding the sword tightly, and fill Barneson's footing.

“You guys must be knights. Why are you doing this? ”

“Oh! We're knights? Why do you think... Huh? Sword! Who the hell are you? ”

The man who replied looked at my sword, startled, and turned back.

Sword? Maybe. ’

He has the same reaction as a mercenary inspector Care. That means I recognized my sword as a nobleman's sword.

Suddenly, I thought of an amazing way.

“Even with this sword, you don't know who I am? ”

Waving their swords as tightly as possible, their eyes shake uneasyly.

“A-are you a nobleman? ”

“How dare you yell at me that you know that? ”

“I'm sorry! I never thought I'd meet a nobleman in a place like this... ”

“Yes? Perhaps I should ask your master for his guilt. Who is the owner?”

“Well, that's ……. ”

The one in the front is awkward, and the one in the back comes forward with a stiff face.

“I'm really sorry, but could you tell the family before that? ”

"Look at this guy. ’

He's the strongest of the five.

He looked at me with a suspicious expression. It makes me wonder if I'm really a nobleman.

Unfortunately, he has a nobleman I know very well. You can sell whatever you want at a time like this.

“Cheniavin.”

“Yes?”

“It's Cheniavin.”

The plains of Lewis and Gamian belong to the Four Kingdoms.

Even if the owner of the diarrhea belongs to the Cheniavins and other kingdoms, it is likely that it will eventually be one of the Four Kingdoms.

I heard from the old knight that the Cheniavin family is a famous family, so if he really is a knight, he is likely to know the Cheniavin family.

“Oh no... You're a Chenian Confederate…? ”

Luckily, as I suspected, he knew the Cheyenne family.

But he was still playing a little trick on me. If I didn't know Tarien's name here, I'd be fooled by him.

“Yes, I am Tarien. Tarien de Cheniavin. ”

“Oh, it's an honor to meet you! My name is Rayson Grandel! ”

Speaking Tarien's name, he lowers his head, clearing the eyes of suspicion.

How dare you roll your bald hair in front of me?

“Sir Grandel. ”

“Yes! Speak! ”

“So who are you taking? ”

“Oh, that's ……. ”

“How long do I have to tolerate rudeness? ”

The man who was completely caught by me closed his eyes and slowly opened his mouth as if he had no choice.

“No. I am with Jansen de Karsia. ”

Jansen? Are you saying Jansen is a nobleman? ’

“Jansen de Carsia? ”

I was deeply embarrassed, but naturally asked.

“Yes! You may not know Tarien... but he's the second Confederate of the Karsias." ”

“Yes? Then why are you after me? ”

“Yes? That can't be right! We were just trying to clear out the mercenaries according to our orders. We would never harm Tarien! ”

‘Jansen's plan is correct. What's the matter with the nobleman? ’

Looking back, the mercenaries were terrified and trembling at the fact that I was a nobleman. Of course, it's a lie to be noble.

After a short thought, I opened my mouth again.

“Then why? I don't understand you as a nobleman. Why are we cleaning up mercenaries from this far away? By having a knight do it? ”

“That……. ”

“Why won't you tell me? Then I have no choice but to report this to the family. ”

“Oh that's ……. ”

A little stronger, he was very embarrassed, and with a tearful face, he came closer and opened his mouth small.

“Tarien, let me tell you the truth. Do me a favor... ”

“How dare a knight ask a nobleman for a favor? ”

“No... This is also a request from my master, Jansen. ”

“Really? Then let's hear it and decide. ”

“Yes, that's actually……. ”

Grandel explained why things were happening in such a small voice as no one else should have to hear.

Put together his words, Jansen is the nobleman I met, and he asked the mercenaries to do this to pretend to be dead.

“Pretending to be dead... To whom? ”

“That's... to hide from Baran, the First Confederate of the Karsias. ”

If he was the first of his kind, he'd be a brother.

You would do this to hide from your brother?

“Why?”

“As you know, Tarien, the Karsias have only temporarily inherited Varane's position, and no official successor has been appointed. It seems that... Jansen is distracting from Baran's view. ”

‘So... the noble family struggle for power? ’

One is to kill for absolute power, and the second is to use mercenaries to save lives from such a brother.

“I don't understand. Why was Jansen pretending to be a merchant? ”

“It was… something Jansen had been preparing for years to avoid the Barians. In order for the suspicious Baran to believe, he needed to be prepared in advance. That's why Jansen came out of the family and started a merchant guild by himself. ”

For years, a noble who was not a commoner pretended to be a merchant. He's a nasty one.

Eating with one pride means that the nobles were lowering their pride and crouching low on the floor to live.

“Yes, I understand that. But there's one thing I don't understand. Even if you killed mercenaries, would he believe that Jansen is dead? You said you were skeptical.”

“You don't have to worry about that. You'll believe me if I clear out the mercenaries. ”

‘It doesn't fit back and forth. ’

“How? No, you were going to pretend you killed Jansen in the first place. So you're going to report that to Varane? You killed your master with your own hands? ”

Baran was, of course, watching Jansen, so he knew the Terrian Merchant Guild had left for the northwest.

But if he was really suspicious, he wouldn't have seen Jansen's body with his own eyes. Is that what Jansen's knights are reporting?

“Haha, don't worry about that. because we are not Jansen's knights. ”

“What are you talking about? You said you were taking Jansen. Are you fucking kidding me? ”

“Oh, that's not it... We are with Baran. Only on the outside, of course. This was done by Baran himself. Now's your chance to leave Jansen's territory, go after him and kill him. ”

‘Wow, they're both crazy. ’

I wonder if there's such a place.

One is going to kill the second somehow, and the second is going to sacrifice mercenaries and workers and try to deceive the first, as well as his underlings.

It gives me goosebumps all over. Is the armor of the nobles originally this fierce or just the Karsias?

“That's ridiculous. So what do you want me to do? I don't think it's a small request to tell you all this classified stuff. ”

“That much... Can't you help Jansen a little? ”

“Help me? ”

“Yes, Mr. Jansen does not intend to give up his successor position. It's just that you don't have the strength yet, so you want to stay hidden for a while. ”

“So you want me to help you start a successor fight later? ”

“Yes, if you will, Jansen will help you when the battle for the heir of the Cheniavin family begins. ”

‘Looks like the Cheniavin family is having a fierce succession. Well, now that we know about it, it's useless information. ’

“Hmm... What should I do?" ”

I frowned at Grandel, pretending to be concerned about his offer.

“Please think carefully. I don't think it's a bad offer for Tarien either. ”

I stared at him with a hasty look.

‘You have to accept his offer. ’

Things would be different here if I were alone, but there are mercenaries here to protect. And I don't like it, but even the stupid workers.

What if I refuse the offer here?

‘He'll try to kill you. ’

That's why they told me everything without hesitation. If you can get help from me, it's a good thing, and even if you can't, it's enough to insult the evidence.

Maybe the moment she refuses, she draws her sword and rushes to kill him.

The evidence is that the guys behind you are waiting with their hands on their waist.

“Fine! I'll take it. ”

“Are you sure? You really thought well, Tarien! ”

Accepting his offer, his expression widened. Stupid bastard.

“However, I have a condition that Jansen will do me a favor. ”

I'm not just used by nobles anymore.

‘I'll use it if I want to. ’
