The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party

118 – Knights who swallowed monsters (2)

Information is like a sharp sword. It was because it could not be used properly if it was in the hands of someone who did not know its value. Stauffen thought that among these demons, he was the one who handled information the best.

Even when he knelt down to the demons, what saved him was not his strength, but his information. Time to empty the side roads and soldiers heading to the capital. And lethal operational plans.

A person’s value is not determined by how much information they have. It depended on how you use it.

Stauffen was confident that his power to handle information was a valuable skill even in this savage and ignorant demon army. He was confident that no matter what talent came, he would be able to survive the political strife and keep his place until the end.

“Sir Stauffen! I’ll report back!”

Even if it’s because he’s holding on to the ropes as a commander after hearing the word ‘last chance’ directly from the demon lord.

“Tell me.”

Even a nervous expression becomes information. If you show anxiety, the soldiers will be agitated, and if the soldiers are agitated, the battle will be tilted even if you do nothing. Stauffen tightened his face more to make a nonchalant expression.

The soldier, unable to make eye contact with Stauffen, lowered his head even more as he spoke.

“Yes. Let me tell you. Currently, there is news that commanders from the front are moving for a meeting. Also, there are sighting reports that a party of warriors is currently moving from the south to cross the border.”

The Hero party’s strategy is completely different from the commander’s meeting. Stauffen rubbed his chin and tried to cool himself. I had to think about countermeasures with my excited head, but only a stimulating and urgent picture was drawn.

“Whoa… … .”

Stauffen sighed. It felt like my head, which had risen in heat, had cooled down. What he needed now was a big picture that he could face with a calm and broad perspective. Such a picture could only be drawn by being sober.

Stauffen said, reaching behind his back.

“pen.”

And the pen came a beat later than he thought. Stauffen looked back with a frown, then realized that the adjutant had been changed and exclaimed in a low voice.

“Ah, it was.”

The adjutant who followed him was not here. Even though he was a nonsensical guy, he was quite good at his job. Thinking about when to teach a new adjutant to make him work like him, I felt helpless before planning the operation.

The adjutant bowed his head like a criminal. I didn’t like him because he was timid and narrow-shouldered, and his work was ambiguous. Stauffen turned his head away with his face distorted. Putting such a disgusting looking guy under him sounded like he was going to suffocate now that he had finished drinking the sweet water.

However, Stauffen was not so easygoing. This wasn’t the first time he’d faced such a crisis. Even when he competed among officers, when he first became a tactical instructor at a military school, and finally when he rose to the position of commander, slander and checks on him always followed.

His cruel and fierce past now remains as a decoration on Stauffen’s chest. A few medals attesting to all the trials he’s been through. That shiny metal was all that proved his identity now.

Stauffen unconsciously realized that he was fiddling with the medal. The soldier glanced and waited for his order, and the adjutant carefully watched him. Stauffen lowered his head as if he had never stroked the medal and began to write down the situation with a pen.

Commanders gathering in a specific area.

A party of warriors from a completely different direction.

From the outside, it looked like a party of warriors dragging their time elsewhere for the commanders’ strategy meeting. Even if the current commanders are not visible, there is not enough troops to break through the defenses and strike them, so it is impossible to send troops hastily.

Because the enemy also knew that, they took this opportunity to share and check operational plans with each other to prepare for a large-scale operation. If several units move at the same time and the party of warriors execute other operations at the same time, Stauffen’s commanding ability alone will not be able to stop it.

Therefore, Stauffen should take advantage of the fact that there is no Hero party and send all the assassination units of the Black Society to them to slaughter the commanders and break through the enemies who have created a command vacuum.

“Well?”

Stauffen thought this far and hardened his face.

Something, because it fit so well.

The assassins of the Black Society were no longer mere assassins. As demons, they were the most elite assassins who even received body modification. Their performance allowed them to stop the advance of the enemy, and they even had a record of assassinating several of their talented commanders.

By the way, holding a meeting like this proudly in front of those guys? No matter how well escorted they are, they don’t have a party of warriors, and they act as if they don’t care about the possibility of an invasion by the Black Society?

It is foolish to escort troops in the front. If the commanders are annihilated by the assassins, the achievements made so far may be completely lost.

The hero’s party is downstairs, why?

Stauffen gasped for breath, covering his mouth.

“…..Fake.”

It was a trap. If you think about it, the Hero party moved as much as possible in the kingdom territory to hide their operational line. But this time, I couldn’t even reach the border, but the location was exposed right away.

The commanders, who had been repeatedly beaten by the assassins of the Black Society, held meetings as if they were not concerned about assassins, and the meeting place was too easily exposed.

The Hero party below is fake.

What they’re after are black society assassins.

I plan to use this opportunity to annihilate all the Assassins of the Black Society and move the battle lines freely.

“Ha ha ha ha ha… … .”

Stauffen felt his body tremble. The fact that I had interpreted their strategy made me feel elated. He had to take a deep breath to calm his excitement. He laughed out loud to vent his emotions.

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

I finished laughing, but somehow felt empty. When I thought about the reason, I thought that this barracks was too quiet.

Turning around, the adjutant stood there hesitantly, Stauffen said.

“…You can laugh along.”

“Yes?”

He was a man who could not understand words and could not work.

Stauffen shouted.

“Smile! laugh! Follow me! hahahaha!”

“…under… . hahahaha… . hahahaha… .”

The adjutant’s face was stained with awkward bewilderment.

Stauffen shouted even louder.

“Big!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

It was late at night in the barracks.

The laughter spread, but Stauffen still felt like a stranger.

*******

Everyone in soldier’s armor gathered. Our luggage was also changed to military gear like soldiers, and the disaster that I had to carry all 5 military gear for normal camouflage did not happen. Even though the hero was wearing the armor worn by soldiers, he felt the dignity of a disguised knight, and the other party members had a strange awkwardness as if they had tried on their father or relative’s clothes.

Maybe it was just me who felt that way because it was different from the clothes I usually wear, but looking at the passing soldiers constantly glancing at us, it seemed that our disguises weren’t very natural. It wasn’t that we advertised that we were a group of warriors, but there were people who felt uncomfortable.

At times like this, you had to pretend that nothing was wrong so you could get over it smoothly. Anyway, since we were going to march together in a separate unit, there would be no more noise if this moment passed.

I put on my military boots and said to the warrior.

“The kingdom’s military supplies are strong. They seem to be softer and nicer than Imperial boots.”

“Have you tried Imperial soldiers’ stuff too?”

“The knights receive the same boots as the soldiers during their apprenticeship. Because of mass production, the quality wasn’t that good. There was a tradition that a senior knight would buy you boots when you joined the knights.”

“It feels good to say it’s better than Imperial boots. I’m not even in charge of supplies.”

“Later, give the army supply officer a reward.”

“Maybe?”

The warrior smiled and showed off a warm atmosphere. Ashuria put her chin on her chin and looked around, then asked the warrior.

“Warrior. But I have a question about the operation.”

The hero looked at Ashuria and said.

“What?”

“That commander, Stauffen, seems to have a pretty good brain. Couldn’t he be aware of our strategy?”

The warrior smiled at those words. And he said:

“It’s fine. Because there is no way to know.”

*******

Stauffen’s face turned red. He trembled and gnashed his teeth in anger and shame.

“What, what did you say?”

The silver-haired knight replied with a blunt face.

“Even if I got the information, I won’t send an assassin from the Black Society, nor will I send an army. I won’t even stop the party of warriors who went downstairs… … . Then what did you want the Demon King to say after hearing your remarks?”

Stauffen gritted his teeth. He opened his eyes and shouted at his opponent.

“You know that too! This is a trap! If you send troops, you’ll lose a soldier and you won’t be able to restore the line! If you go to catch a warrior’s party, you won’t even catch a real warrior’s party! Send in the assassins and they’ll all be annihilated! Doing nothing is the answer!”

“The Demon King would have liked it if he heard it.”

At the man’s sarcastic remark, Stauffen shouted again.

“no method! The hero must already be on his way! It’s a shame we have the terrain to our advantage, and we don’t have enough troops to break through them! All we can do is defend this place!”

“It’s a theory.”

Stauffen wiped the sweat from his forehead.

said the man.

“That’s why the Demon King also said this. Rest if you don’t want to fight.”

Now, Stauffen felt as though knives were being drawn at him from all sides.
