The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party

27 – Reservoir Vipers (8)

“Perhaps these assassins were Damon’s trump cards. There are no more troublesome guys on the battlefield than assassins who are well versed in their inner affairs.”

“Once the assassins were blocked, and the entire frontline was alerted, the assassins won’t be able to work as well as before.”

Being an assassin of the Black Society is not invincible. Assassins were basically human beings who specialized in killing opponents in an undetected and mean way under advantageous circumstances. Lena, who confidently jumped into an all-out battle, was a rather unusual class.

“But just because Damon got involved once, there is no guarantee that he won’t make another move. They’ll use annoying numbers again.”

I nodded at Randolph’s words. It is unknown how Damon used his tricks, but as long as the trump card of being an assassin was blocked, it was clear that he would try to win in a more mean and naive way.

“Then it will be a race against time. Every time Damon does something, the sacrifices of our troops will increase. We need to get out of the way before he makes other plans.”

“Sir, it seems that our troops are making a heavy burden.”

“Because it’s something only we can do.”

The warrior shook his head and smiled bitterly. How futile is a war in which victory or defeat depends on a few supermen. The hero understood very well the meaning of sorry and bitterness on Randolph’s face.

“Are you going to the fort?”

“It is said that we are in a standoff, so I think we should discuss the next strategy there. From what I’ve heard, the soldiers encamped in front of the fort are very fierce.”

“I heard that the leader of the noble family among the demons is in command of the unit. They say that they are in trouble because they have strong combat power and good brains.”

“A brainy appendix?”

“Yes. They say he is competent even among the demons.”

The warrior didn’t pass over the words that the clever Mengjang was aiming for the fortress. The hero turned outside the barracks and called the porter. The porter, who had been chatting with Lena, was brought into the barracks with a puzzled expression.

Randolph didn’t know why he called the porter for the plan, but waited silently for the hero’s words. The warrior opened the map again and looked at the situation.

There was a place where the two camps met with a winding river in between. However, this camp, which seemed flat on the outside, was a fortress that climbed a rugged rocky mountain, so it was not an easy place to take over. The hero said, recalling the assassination operation.

“Until now, I thought Damon was behind the assassination operation of the demon corps, but considering that the final goal of the assassination operation was to encircle and occupy the fortress, I think that the person who actually gave the order was the commander who was trying to occupy the fortress. ”

At the warrior’s words, Randolph nodded. Certainly, the plan to form a besiege by assassinating the two camps around the fort was a more natural domain for a commander in charge of one front rather than a commander in charge of the entire front.

The warrior pointed to the map and said.

“When you look at the topography of the demon army facing the fortress, it is the same as riding the ridge of a mountain range, so supply is greatly limited. You can get supplies from various places along the mountain range, but the road to the fort is eventually tied together.”

Randolph nodded.

“The moment the fortress is occupied, the supply route is tied into one, and if the opposing frontline is maintained, there is a risk that this supply route will be damaged, so you tried to push the frontline by force, even using an assassin. A siege is also a siege, but they were reluctant to expose their weaknesses.”

The warrior looked at the porter. The porter, who was looking at the hero with a bewildered face, nodded.

“you’re right. The mountains on this side are so rugged that even when the empire was alive, only soldiers patrols had been cleared. The road is narrow and inconvenient, so once it is blocked, supply cannot be carried out.”

The porter said so while admiring the hero’s eyes. It was because he was accurately pointing out the part that even he, who was from the Empire, had not thought of. When the porter looked at him proudly, the hero awkwardly averted his gaze and said to Randolph.

“But with one axis of the battle line down, we can’t bring that commander into the fort and get rid of him. It would have been better if they had attacked me.”

Randolph nodded when the hero pointed to the camp where the commander had been assassinated a while ago. The front line, once pushed back, could not be pushed back, so the front line centered on this fortress continued as if it were going downhill.

“That’s right. The commander just came in, but because he was in a hurry, he couldn’t win even though the number of soldiers was superior.”

The hero looked at the map and frowned.

“I should have pushed it away quickly… … . We can’t help much in this soldier power struggle. They are agents who specialize in setting up and operating operations.”

The hero pointed his finger at the demon camp on the other side of the fortress and said.

“This commander… … . Are you a key figure? Like the assassination plan, he seems like a commander who draws a pretty big picture.”

“you’re right. He’s a very important person. If we can catch that commander here, we can say that Damon’s power itself will collapse. I heard that they had an arranged marriage… … .”

The hero and the porter met each other’s eyes. said the warrior.

“…Could it be that… … . Is this commander also a woman?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Just hearing the word woman was already drawing a picture. It was obvious without looking. This Commander also has something to do with Damon. Even if I hadn’t checked it yet, such a certainty ran through my head.

“under… … .”

“Write… … .”

Both the hero and porter scratched their heads and sighed. said the porter.

“What a guy. Personally, I’m a bit proud of it. Do you even wear a belly band on your stomach?”

“It is said that he is from a high family, but the demons may not have chastity in this area. Otherwise, there’s no way you’re going to flirt like this. It’s to the point where I’m sending out personal letters, but there’s no way I’m not aware of it.”

The porter rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. He tapped the desk in time with his eyes closed and nodded.

“There is no way you don’t know. However, it is psychological to want to pretend not to know the faults of the person you love. Warrior.”

“Are you pretending not to know?”

The porter grinned at the hero’s words. The porter said to the warrior.

“Hero. It seems you want to capture this commander for sure.”

“Yes. After all, if you leave behind the person who made this plan, there will definitely be a great sacrifice. I thought that even if we were to fight for the fortress here, we had to eliminate this person.”

“Warrior. I have a nice plan, would you like to try it?”

*****

kiberes.

She was the commander of a prestigious demon tribe and the only daughter of a famous family in the demon tribe.

She was married to Damon through an arranged marriage, and even though she was married from family to family, she truly loved Damon. Even her competent, cool-headedness and solid inaction used to melt like soft pieces of bread in the presence of her love for Damon.

[Kiberes.

kiberes.

I go to bed memorizing your name 3 times a day.

Your name is like a magic spell that can make anything happen

It gives me the strength to get through each day. Every time you win a war

I am also happy to hold your hand there.

kiberes. I want to have a formal wedding with you as soon as the war is over.

It started as a family-to-family marriage, but you were always first in my heart.

I love you. kiberes.

Damon.]

“ah… … . Damon… … .”

Even on a gloomy afternoon when the operation failed, she was healing her mind by hugging Damon’s letter.

In fact, the battlefield was the worst situation for her right now. The demon frontline was losing one after another because of the strategy of the warriors and the kingdom army, and the big picture that had been built before occupying the fortress was shattered by the variable of the warrior.

The assassins also failed and returned as corpses, and the Demon Legion led by Viezra was horribly destroyed by the Kingdom Army. You should be able to capture the fort to catch the victory, but there was no way to occupy the fort, and that’s why you ran into the worst situation where you couldn’t retreat from here.

In this situation where she had to suck her fingers and leave the warriors alone, Damon’s letter was like a potion that healed her heart.

“Ah, Damon… … .”

Cayberes called Damon’s name over and over again, gently stroked the letter as if it were Damon’s head, and closed his eyes. And I imagined rolling in bed with him and sharing a beautiful love story.

“Hey, Kiberes-sama.”

A soldier was standing in the barracks of Kiberes with a puzzled face. Kiberes said to the soldier with a frown.

“what?”

“Mr. Kiberes. That… … . A letter found in a supply cart. The recipient is Viezra-sama, what should I do?”

Viezra was already a dead demon. Recently, in the Battle of Edels, he faced a knight named Randolph and died heroically.

Considering the distance between Headquarters and the Cabares camp, it was not unusual for the letter to arrive or come here.

Cayberes felt uneasy about the fact that Viezra’s name was included in that letter.

“Get out.”

At the cool tone of Kiberes, the soldier escaped as if he were running away. The soldier knew that something bad was bound to happen when she was at such low pressure. Caybereth was a general with very good commanding skills, but always lost his judgment when dealing with Damon.

She felt strangely uneasy about the name ‘Viezra’ written on the outside of the letter. Because that handwriting was Damon’s handwriting.

Cayberes knew that this ‘bullshit’ had been repeated many times before.

A nasty rumor that Damon flirts with other demons. A terrible rumor that the target of the obsession included some generals he trusted.

Rumors you don’t want to believe that Damon is giving out sweet whispers of love to all women. It is an absurd rumor that some female generals are sending strangely jealous glances whenever they look at them.

Although Damon was a bit incompetent, Kayberes believed that he wasn’t a demon who would do such a thing.

[To Viezra]

Even the name written on the outside, I thought it was a simple office letter.

Kiberes thought so and opened the letter.

[Viezra.

Every time I call your name, an echo resonates in my heart.

It makes me say that I miss you by repeating your name over and over again.

Viezra. Do you think the same as me?

I’ve hidden a gift you might like in a rock upstream.

Take it unnoticed by Kaybers.

The devil who loves you the most in the world.

Damon.]

“ah… … !”

Sobs mingled with sighs flowed from the silhouettes in the veil.
