“Because of revenge.”

“plural? Revenge, to whom… … .”

As I was talking, something came to my mind and I let out a blank laugh and pointed my finger at my face.

“me?”

“yes.”

“Could it be because of Jeffman?”

“yes.”

It was because of Jeffman that I did all those annoying things up until now.

It’s even unfair to leave the absurd.

“why? Are you saying that I put Jeffman in prison?”

“yes.”

Even Dominic, who said that, had a bitter expression on his face, and it seemed that Jeffman was more important to the Knights of the Golden Lion than he thought.

“You know that you betrayed the kingdom by sticking to the Black Castle, right?”

“I know. but… … !”

“Shh. Be careful with your words. What you are about to say could be treason.”

Dominic, who had closed his mouth in frustration, let out a deep sigh.

“But why don’t you rebel?”

“… … It is just living reality.”

“Live in reality… … . That’s a very good word.”

I patted Dominic on the shoulder and went back to the training ground.

Dominic, who had followed me with a nervous look on his face, entered and sat down among the resting colleagues.

Andrew looks at Dominic.

His eyes seemed to say, ‘Did you keep a secret?’

“Come on, I have something to tell you guys.”

“ha… … .”

Dominic let out a small sigh and shook his head.

When my colleagues see Dominic’s reaction, they look at me with a nervous expression, as if something has come.

‘As much as the expectations are high, I must live up to those expectations.’

I pointed at Andrew and Dominic once and said.

“You two are captains.”

“yes? What kind of small grain is that?”

“ha… … .”

Faces and gazes full of questions.

Is it because of my mood that I feel joy every time these guys do this?

“From today, the Knights of the Golden Lion are divided into two groups.”

“yes? That is nonsense! Until now, we, the Knights of the Golden Lion, have moved as one body.”

“you’re right. That order is incomprehensible.”

“Why are you sharing it all of a sudden?”

“ha… … .”

The protests of the members were fierce.

However, I ignored all their complaints and delivered my opinion.

“You all know that we are going to the Black Sea this time. Our first mission is to investigate the monster that has emerged from the Black Sea, and our second mission is to catch it if possible. To move efficiently, you have to split the group.”

“Ah, that was it.”

“Me again.”

“Certainly, it would be better to distribute the number of people.”

“Whew… … .”

Dominic Why does that bastard keep sighing in an annoying way?

“Then how are the groups divided?”

I smiled at Andrew’s question.

Then he pointed out each member of the team and assigned a new seat.

“Like this, you are number one. The leader is Andrew.”

“for a moment! This is too blatantly-”

“And the rest of you are the second group. As I said before, the leader is Dominic.”

“ha… … .”

The atmosphere is very upbeat.

The cold chilled air.

Since I shared those who openly rebel against me and those who don’t, you must think that the above is an excuse.

But what will they do then? Top and bottom clothes are basic for knights.

“The mission of Team 1 is to investigate the monsters and if Team 2 succeeds in attracting the monster, it will cover Team 2.”

“Nonsense! Are we the cover?”

Andrew jumped out of his seat and came forward as if he couldn’t take it any longer.

The guy on the podium at the training ground comes closer to me with his eyes wide open.

‘Your eyes are bloody. Are you really going to hit me?’

just swing your fist I’ll just give you a very harpoon.

In my heart, I expected him to cross the line in excitement, but he didn’t cross the line, as if he didn’t intend to do so in the first place.

“Isn’t this openly discriminatory?”

“Why is it called discrimination? I haven’t even told you about Team 2’s mission yet.”

“Then tell me. Didn’t you say that Team 2 would lure you in?”

“right. Team 2’s mission is to lure the monster. It could end up going into the Black Sea, so we plan to go into the river and practice diving before going out.”

“I can’t admit it! Is it okay for the leader to discriminate against the members like this?”

At his words, all members of Team 1 stood behind Andrew.

They, too, are now dissatisfied with my decision.

‘Why is it so hard to order comfortable things?’

These are the guys I can’t understand.

Is this also rebellion?

“Why is it called discrimination? Team 1’s mission would be safer and more convenient, right? Moreover, it is easier for you to catch the monster if Team 2 lures it. It’s easy to get credit.”

“Don’t try to fool us with flattery. Isn’t the 1st group saying to do the 2nd group behind the scenes? When Team 2 honorably enters the sea to lure and capture the monster, are Team 1 supposed to just wait on the ground?”

“you’re right! We want to be honored too!”

“This is nonsense!”

Even while the first group of knights were complaining to me, the second group of knights remained silent.

Perhaps, they also thought that I was giving preferential treatment overtly.

“ha… … .”

Andrew is still sighing.

“okay. If you feel that way, I’ll change the mission. Team 1 is in charge of manning, Team 2 is in charge of investigating the monster, and Team 1 is in charge of covering. Are you okay?”

Andrew flinched and hesitated to answer, probably because he had changed the mission so amicably.

They met each other’s eyes and hesitated for a moment before answering with a determined expression.

“All right!”

“I will show you!”

“… … If there is a chance to catch the monster during lure, can I catch it?”

“okay. If you get a chance, grab it.”

“All right.”

Andrew and the first group of knights returned to their original positions.

The 2nd group of knights stood still, revealing their complicated feelings on their faces.

“Okay, everyone heard, right? I will change my training schedule from today. We will continue to do so until the departure date is set, so keep that in mind.”

After I instructed the Knights of the Golden Lion to go through their personal training, I went out and gave the schedule for this to the protocol aide, then went back to the training ground.

“Ah, Captain.”

“why?”

Dominic stopped me from entering.

“I have a question.”

“What?”

“that… … , Can I entrust Team 1 to manned missions?”

“What do you mean?”

“You originally intended to leave it to Team 2, right? It could be dangerous if you don’t obey orders properly.”

“It did. But what can I do? Those guys say they want to do that.”

“but-.”

“I am the leader who knows how to respect the opinions of our members? It’s a temporary job, but where is this general manager? Right?”

“… … yes.”

“Yes, yes. From today, joint training in the afternoon and group training in the morning.”

“All right.”

* * *

“The launch date has been set.”

When the members who were exhausted from training were panting for breath, Ren came into the training ground and announced.

“Three days later. The expedition goes alone with the Golden Lion Knights. In the future, if support is needed, additional requests will be made to the kingdom.”

“I have a question.”

“Yes, tell me.”

“I heard that he can breathe freely in the sea and on land. What should I do if I get pulled into the sea during lure?”

“Good question. listen carefully. In particular, Team 1, who is in charge of attracting people, listens with their ears open.”

Ren said as he tapped his ear canal with his finger.

“If you go in, it’s just death. Don’t even think about saving your comrades. The moment you get pulled into the sea, you won’t be able to draw out even 20% of your fighting power and you’ll be killed.”

“Does that make sense to abandon a colleague?”

“Then let’s go and die together.”

Ren’s voice was cold, full of annoyance.

Loyalty, responsibility, and camaraderie are stories that only work when skills and circumstances support them.

I didn’t mean to just go to hell along with my comrades.

“If you are a master swordsman, only 20%… … , No, you can bring out more skills. It doesn’t matter, since that’s enough to deal with in the sea. But what about you? You’re going to deal with the monster of the Black Sea in the sea with just that skill? don’t say funny things The sea is their battlefield, and that’s why even Baran hasn’t been able to deal with the monsters of the Black Sea. Are you guys that great? If so, why don’t you go inside.”

The knight, reddened by Ren’s harsh criticism, lowered his head.

You could ask, but you might think that I’m scolding you too much.

However, Ren felt that he needed to be warned more strongly than this.

How many people have died due to clumsy justice. I had no choice but to prevent these guys from being killed by a bad decision in such a situation.

‘If one guy starts to follow, the rest are bound to get swept away as well.’

It sounds like you could be killed.

It’s their fault, but it’s also the leader’s fault, so Ren thoroughly cautioned them.

“And getting into the water is just in case, and there should be no going into the sea. also! Never sail at night. Setting up a fire at night to find him is the same as shouting, ‘Catch me!’” “Yes!”

“Then let’s start training again!”

* * *

The Golden Lion Knights headed to Astro Coast with Ren.

Ren got off his horse wearing a nice leather suit.

This luxurious outfit made of blue leather was taken by Louise herself and handed over to Ren.

– I heard that you are going to the Black Sea this time. take it Not a big deal.

– What is this?

– Clothes made from the skin of white-eyed sea otters in the Black Sea. It is magically treated, so even if it goes into water, its resistance is significantly lowered.

– Can I have this? Maybe in the Kingdom Storage… … .

– I got it with my own money. It’s nothing compared to what you did for me. take it

– thank you. Maybe this will save my life. hahahaha.

– I don’t think the monster of the Black Sea can do anything about you, but take care of yourself anyway.

There was nothing particularly uncomfortable about wearing it on the ground, not in the water.

Never expecting that Louise would provide such a gift, Ren decided not to take off his clothes until this campaign was over.

“Captain, there are rumors that this magic leather suit was sold at a fairly high price, but is it true?”

Dominic sneaked up to me and asked if he thought he had gotten quite close.

“okay? How much?”

“I don’t know about that, but at least 1,000 gold will do…” … .”

“cloth? Huh, you overreacted.”

How could such a piece of clothing cost a thousand gold?

Ren once again marveled at Louise’s spending and began to survey the shore.

Group 1 watched the coastal area to find clues about the monster and prepared to attract the monster.

Few of the villagers said they had seen the monster.

“The size of the monster was enormous. It had a large shell on its back.”

“I don’t think it was that fast. Is it because it’s big?”

“I would have known more if there had been our fishermen sleeping at the bottom. In the past, there were fishermen who went to the depths of the Black Sea. Hee hee, fishermen who think they will be in the sea even after they die.”

From nob le mtl dot com

Group 1 couldn’t find a single fish, let alone lure it, and Group 2 couldn’t find anything particularly meaningful except for the information they already knew.

At least, it was said that he was a monster in the form of a hermit dog carrying a large shell on his back.

“Hmm, let’s stop for today and prepare again early tomorrow morning. Coastal boundaries are alternated between Group 1 and Group 2.”

“yes!”

When two more days passed without income, the impatient 1 trillion started moving late at night.

“I guess I should try to float the boat at night. He said he also attacked last night?”

“Andrew, are you okay? What if he gets attacked then?”

“Then why don’t we just waste time like this? You have to take risks to get the price. How long are we going to be swayed by that temporary leader? Let’s make it right this time and speak out our position confidently.”

At Andrew’s persuasion, the first team of knights launched four small boats and boarded them.

“Obviously he said he was big and not very fast. If he shows up, there will definitely be a response at sea level. You just have to run away and lure them in while the rest use javelins to kill time.”

Andrew thought that there was a possibility based on the information he had gathered so far, so he moved this way.

The first group cut through the current and slowly headed out of the shore. But the calm waters did not even respond.

“ha… . Is this also not responding?”

The nervous knights let out a sigh of relief.

“Let’s light a fire. Then he might react.”

“Yeah, well, we’ve come this far, so let’s try that.”

So while they were fixing the torches on the bow, the next 2nd group of knights saw the 1st trillion members who disappeared and spat out curse words.

“That madman… … !”

Dominic, who came out to stand guard, was swearing at the 1 trillion won who had already moved away.

Judging that it was already too late to bring him, he ran straight to the lodging where Ren was staying.

thud! thud! thud!

Awoke by a loud banging sound, Ren opened the door.

“what?”

“One group of guys boarded a boat and went out to the Black Sea!”

“… … what?”
