Chapter 344.1 - Side Story : Beastmen's Land I

Side Kraug

I am the gray tapir Kraug. I am the best of Gringot Intelligence. Well, even though it may sound like I am part of an intelligence organization, we never actually did anything spectacular like infiltrating enemy territory and bringing back important information or the like. If anything, our main role was to keep an eye out for enemy agents who may have infiltrated our city.

Not long ago, we managed to catch the mastermind behind the assassins who attacked the Black Thunder Princess. Speaking of the Black Thunder Princess, she’s the current most popular local hero, having broken through conventional wisdom that the black cat tribe which was said to be incapable of achieving evolution. Upon usurping that deep rooted belief, she could even fight with Goddarfa to a stalemate. Hence, it would be unforgivable for anyone to even think of taking away this budding hope of the black cat tribe.

Although it took a bit of time, we managed to apprehend them in the end. On the other hand, however, it was much easier than expected for us to force them to speak up. No, it seemed to be that their mission was to leak this information in the first place.

“The Krishna royal family? The royal family that ruled the Beastmen Nation before the Narasinha family, right?”Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

“Yes, that’s right...... We will only bow our heads to the rightful royal family.”

According to an agent of Bashar’s Kingdom, the authorities of the kingdom were indebted to the Krishna royal family of the past and were unable to refuse their request. That’s one thing for certain. But there’s no country that can be driven to action just from gratitude alone. Instead, you can give legitimacy to your actions by appearing to be working in favor of others. In other words, this time, the war was not just a skirmish, and the Bashar Kingdom’s side, anticipating this, should have been well prepared.

Half a day later. We had been sent north to scout the neighborhood. Then, near the Schwarzkatze, we encountered a group of adventurers. They were the skillful men who marched with Master Kiara to intercept the evildoers. They also said that a knight of Bashar was amongst those that were captured.

It seemed that the knight was very loyal and wouldn’t budge to any form of interrogation or extortion. But she had managed to put them in a trance and extracted information from them. Under normal circumstances, it’s hard to force them to do what we want them to, and even I myself am not strong enough to make them do what I want. But apparently, he was put into a trance and it made it easier for him to fall into hypnosis. Well, even so, it was limited to just about a minute.

The knight also mentioned the name “Myrelia”. To repay the woman’s debt, the Bashar Kingdom was apparently lending a helping hand.

That Myrelia woman, she’s got some serious guts. By impressing upon one’s self-respect or patriotism, it was possible for a person to instill a favorable feeling from another to oneself. It was similar to a prostitute’s modus operandi for hitting on a man.

However, there is a high probability that the knights have already taken into account the information leaked to us, and have given only convenient information. It seemed that these knights may have already been brainwashed in the first place. In essence, the earlier testimony was not very credible.

“What’s the real purpose of this Myrelia woman? No, it’s not my job to think about this. In the meantime, I must report this to my lord......”
