“…Sir Perata.”

Sir Lely asked.

“Even now, we should stop…”

“What are you talking about here?!”

Sir Perata raised his voice harshly with a frustrated heart. If it wasn’t for the current situation, he would have slammed his fist on that stuffy face right now.

“Are you scared now?”

Sir Perata laughed.

However, upon closer inspection, it wasn’t just Lord Lely, for the others seemed to be hesitant too.

Until just two days ago, the image of their determination was nowhere to be seen.

Sir Perata was amazed.

“…After all, we are all accomplices.”

At those words, the knights’ faces darkened. Even though the moonlight was bright, even darkness could not hide their shame.

“It’s too late to regret it now. We’ll be put to death without money.”

“…”

“…”

The knights didn’t even budge even though he told them the harsh reality.

“…Shit.”

In the end, Sir Perata shoved Sir Lely on the shoulder.

Entering the warehouse alone, he snatched a private ship nearby.

However, he forgot it because he was angry with his subordinates’ change of mind.

Each individual ship weighed 40 kg.

“Ouch!”

Losing his balance, Sir Perata fell to the floor. In the meantime, his hand was caught trying to catch the private ship. He felt a lot of pain, maybe there was a crack in his bone.

But Sir Perata got up alone, grunting.

But it was painful.

“Damn you bastards! You’re like cowards! You’ll be things that go to the gallows licking the navy’s ass!”

Sir Perata cursed his men.

His hand hurt so much more than he expected that tears began to form, which made the madness even more terrifying.

The knights kept their heads down and didn’t say anything.

In the end, Sir Perata went to the shore alone with his private ship.

The rest of the knights did not catch him. They didn’t even follow him.

Because of that, Sir Perata’s steps became increasingly hasty.

The traitors left behind won’t reveal this to the Navy right away. If they did, they wouldn’t be able to escape the great anger.

However, he couldn’t be more reassured. Trusting those who betrayed him was suicidal.

Fortunately, the meeting place written on the note was just a short distance away.

The beach where he had been training in blood for the past week was near the Armory.

There was a cape behind the swimming training facility installed on the beach.

The boat for stowaway was prepared behind the cape.

“… Are you alone?”

Sir Delat, who had arrived first and had been waiting, frowned. He just knew what the situation was.

“We must hurry.”

“Come on, get on.”

Said the broker who came with him. He was the man who impersonated Sir Delat’s lawyer at Marai School.

As Sir Perata got in, the boat reeled for a moment.

“Why is it so heavy?”

When Sir Delat held the private ship for the first time, he was somewhat surprised.

Soon, the boat moved. It was a motorized boat, but he rowed it on purpose.

The waves were calm, so they had to take the risk of not being caught even a little.

At least until the lights of the naval headquarters are crushed in the darkness and out of sight.

After going out to sea for a while, a boat to transfer appeared. It was the size of a small fishing boat, but it was far more luxurious than what they were on.

While the broker got on the boat first, Sir Delat and Sir Perata chatted across the private ship.

“By the way, my wife and son…”

“You’re saying something funny.”

Sir Delat laughed openly.

“Why did you take him?”

Anyway, he wasn’t impressed with his family, let alone his own.

Soon, the news that Sir Delat’s family was on the verge of bankruptcy would spread all over the empire.

Even though it all happened because of his gambling, Sir Delat did not feel particularly responsible.

Rather, he blamed his wife for not paying the money he had wasted on gambling.

“From ancient times, housekeeping has been the responsibility of the hostess.”

The capital allowed him to enjoy his wealth and fame, so it was only time for his wife and son to do their part.

After the conversation, the two took out their revolver pistols as promised.

The cylinder was loaded with all five bullets.

“Hurry up and come up.”

A voice was heard from above the ship. At the prompting tone, the two hid their pistols behind their waists.

Then, one after another, they climbed onto the boat.

There were about six men of unusual stature on the ship.

They welcomed the two knights with a threatening atmosphere.

“Let’s check the private ship first.”

The broker’s glasses glistened in the reflection of the moonlight. With a mean laugh, the atmosphere became sharp in an instant.

“We’ll keep it until we get to the Empire safely.”

“Let’s not waste our emotions on things like this. If we all get along well, why don’t we go to the Empire with our necks?”

The confrontation lasted longer than expected. They had no intention of giving up.

Whoosh-

At that moment, the boat shook slightly and the sound of water was heard.

“Go check it out.”

There was a moment when a muscular man who had been ordered by the broker turned-

Bang!

“Aaaah!”

The man screamed and fell. Blood was gushing out from the leg he grabbed.

“What, what?!”

“It’s an intruder!”

“Maybe secretly someone…!”

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out.

“Ahhh!”

The man who was trying to frame the Kingdom rebels screamed. This time he was hit on the inner side of his thigh.

Had the bullet being shot a little above that spot, it would have been hit in the wrong place.

“I’m sorry.”

A voice that was not at all sorry intervened.

“I’m very angry right now, so I made a mistake.”

After all, the gun wielder didn’t have a knack for shooting. The unfamiliar monologue followed briefly.

In the meantime, the broker’s party was ready to attack. A sharp rake in his hand, a thin kitchen knife, and a gun with a silencer flashed in the dark.

“…The moon is very bright.”

It wasn’t just the ugly tools that glittered under the moonlight.

“That’s why I’m even more sorry.”

A hard tone, an impertinent expression.

However, the movement of the woman pulling the sword from her waist was smooth.

The faces of the men who were fighting against that beautiful and elegant figure, like a dance, turned red little by little.

“I will omit self-introduction.”

Even the legendary monster that is said to attract sea people dazzled in the moonlight.

“I will try not to kill you.”

Noah, who closed the distance for a moment, spoke in a beautiful voice.

“Scream in moderation, please.”

Whoosh!

Flesh fell from the lightly swung of the sword, and a scream echoed.

The feast of blood had begun.

~*~

The original plan was this.

After the knights divided, Sir Delat and Sir Perata contacted the smuggling brokers.

According to the investigation, except for two mysterious senior knights, they were participating in this weapon smuggling semi-forcibly.

The method was so obvious. They deliberately approached only knights from a commoner background.

It was only for those who need a lot of money because of someone close to them.

So Leto took charge of Sir Delat and Lieutenant Colonel Ice took charge of Sir Perata.

That way, the chief of military service, who was secretly on standby, was able to approach and contact the remaining knights.

“Stop, let go of the burden of your heart.”

“I know everything.”

“Did you have a hard time?”

“The guardhouse, no, the navy is with you.”

As expected, the desperate knights who were left behind poured out everything to Colonel Benedict.

On the other hand, Major General Francis left it alone.

People who pretended to be good on the outside and risked their lives for external reputation were generally scumbags who mistakenly thought that they were good.

A narcissist who thought that his narrow vision was everything in the world.

The loser fell into the trap on his own.

When he visited the headquarters, he secretly infiltrated a group of brokers from the Empire, and also delivered the key to the arsenal, which Leto pretended to be a mistake during a drinking party, and delivered it to Sir Perata.

After completing his role, Major General Francis was immediately arrested.

The brokers were deliberately released. He was going to be arrested at sea with the two traitor knights.

And he was going to make the arrest himself.

“…Hmm.”

Leto, who was about to order the preparations for departure, only looked at the sea in disbelief.

A small fishing boat was barely visible near the horizon. Another crazy dog ​​in the Navy was going to be chasing a fishing boat.

The main culprit that ruined Leto’s plans.

“How did this happen?”

The voice seeking an answer was somewhat hasty.

“I, Lieutenant General…!”

Ami, who had her head on the ground, asked for a say.

She was being punished for taking information to Noah and helping her get into the arsenal.

She had her head pounded with Hornes beside her. He was also on co-accusations of helping her by being silenced by Noah.

“Captain knew from the beginning.”

“So it was that.”

Leto roughly guessed where he had noticed.

“Did she know Major General Francis?”

At that time, what he asked seemed to be the beginning of all of this.

“So what could I say?! Noah, that damn thing has a lot of pride, and she hates to be left out like this!”

“…”

“Oh my god! She’s such a fool!”

Ami patted her chest with her hand, saying she was going to burst in frustration. Read only at pm tl.

“Lieutenant General.”

Lieutenant Colonel Ice, who admired Ami for saying that like it was a skill, called Leto.

“What are you going to do now?”

“What why…”

Taking a few deep breaths and exhaling to spread the salty air deep into his lungs.

“I’ll get in trouble if she dies.”

“Are you talking about the captain?”

“…”

The side view of a smiling face without an answer looked anxious.

‘…It’s really different this time.’

Leto caught sight of a fishing boat approaching.

~*~

“Two traitors who took private ships.”

Splash, splash.

Noah captured two former knights and incumbent traitors, both covered in blood, and threw them into the sea.

Military police officers waiting nearby rescued the stunned traitors.

“And eight smuggling brokers.”

With another splash.

Only one in eight brokers was thrown into the sea. The broker, with his cracked glasses, was fainting with blood dripping from his nose.

“Where are the other seven?”

Asked a military police officer who had rescued the broker.

“They’re on the boat.”

While the military police were boarding the ship, Noah brought down the stolen private ship separately. A startled scream was heard behind her, but she ignored it.

“Lieutenant General.”

Standing in front of Leto whose face hardened, Noah smiled brightly.

“The stolen private ship has been brought back.”

“…”

Leto didn’t answer, and Noah didn’t even have to wait for an answer, so she threw the private ship roughly.

And she took off her own private ship.

“Lieutenant General.”

Noah asked.

“Is this the only answer to the opportunity I gave you?”
