Chapter 228

EP.228

When I said it was a trivial request, the prisoners of the Kingdom of Stockholm in front of me looked at me with eyes filled with wariness.

They say that I, the commander of an enemy country, suddenly came to them and wanted to ask them something. I think they plan to read my thoughts to see what their intentions are.

Those who were not even as good as that idiot chose the wrong person to start a battle with.

Why on earth are you trying to make a deal with me when you are just a soldier and a prisoner...

“Lieutenant Alexei, we need to instill the concept into these kids. Let’s do a cartwheel right away. “Let’s just kill two or three of them and get started.”

“Yes, I understand! “If you plan on executing me, would it be okay if I brought my men with me?”

“I would like to show the scene of the person cutting off the head, but unfortunately, I want only a few people to know about my secret request. Instead, I will leave it to you to behead the Ishtaven bastards tomorrow.”

With those words, the lieutenant who was with me went to look for the cart wheel, and the expression on their faces gave me a concept.

To be precise, it meant that, like a typical prisoner, the fear and fear that he might die at any time began to be clearly visible on his face.

Anyway, now it feels like I can have a civilized conversation.

“Ask again. “Are you planning on doing me a small favor?”

And I just cut the neck of the guy kneeling in front of me, drew a little blood, and said,

“Are you planning on dying? The choice is free. “I don’t intend to force either side.”

Although I said this, I actually have no intention of killing him if he refuses.

This is because on the Europa continent, it is not a big problem to sell or kill prisoners taken after winning a war as slaves, but he is a person who has lived in the Republic of Korea for over 20 years and understands the importance of human rights.

When I started counting to five with my fingers, the guys in front of me answered in unison.

“Just ask me to do anything! Even if you tell me to bark like a dog, I am confident that I will bark like a dog!”

“I have a wife and children who are just waiting for me to be discharged safely in a year! Please just live! “Please just spare my life!”

“I will do anything if you let me live, Lieutenant General...”

As he said that, everyone put their heads on the ground and began to pray, and some even apologized so passionately that their foreheads were stained with blood.

“Sergeant Grakov, give them 5 gold each. In any case, you are embarking on a very dangerous operation for the Empire, so make sure you pay the price. Instead, those who received 5 gold will have their oaths disrupted.”

With this, they will think they are on the same team as me and will try to listen to me as carefully as possible.

“The soldiers of the scouting party that will accompany you will explain the rest of the story. However, if this operation is successful, as I promised, your idols will not be sold to the Kingdom of Stockholm. You can either return to your hometown with a large sum of 5 gold or go on your own and make excuses for disappearing and returning.”

In this era, unlike modern Korea, the resident registration system and soldier management system were not in place, so even if you deserted, you would not be punished unless you were caught on the spot.

There is not a single lie in my words.

“It would be a good idea to think carefully about whether you will return safely with a large sum of 5 gold or whether you will go against my words.”

After saying that, I left the barracks where the prisoners were housed.

“Is there a reconnaissance battalion commander?”

“This is Major Schott von Auburg from the reconnaissance battalion. “What business did you call me for?”

“As soon as the operation is successful, just release those 50 prisoners. “Don’t kill everyone just because they silence you.”

Major Short looked unconvinced by those words.

“Anyway, we are in no hurry to set fire to Oslo Castle and have 100 scouts under your command go around the castle, kill some soldiers and those carrying weapons, and escape. And who will believe them even if they tell the truth?”

Well, it could be used as one of the justifications the Kingdom of Stockholm uses to criticize us later on.

If you say bullshit like that, I’ll say, ‘No, no. All you have to do is cast ‘You write a novel really well.’

“And we will mobilize 3,000 Stockholm prisoners and listen to the beautiful songs of the Kingdom of Stockholm tomorrow night. So that we can completely draw the enemy’s attention.”

“The enemy’s attention will be focused on the prisoners outside the walls, so our scouts will be safe.”

“yes. And if the operation is successful this time, not only will you be promoted to lieutenant colonel, but I will also give you some help in getting you promoted to colonel in the future. When you retire, don’t you want to be at least the ‘Baron’ of Auburg?”

**

And the day after tomorrow at 8 PM.

Major Schott von Auburg, a member of the reconnaissance unit, prepared to secretly enter Oslo Castle with 100 battalion members and 50 Stockholm prisoners.
