Necromancers

CHAPTRE 12

The Capital of the Dukedom Kingdom :

"Hey, you see the number of patrol knights is growing. Has something happened? "

"I don't know, but the number of knights did increase these days, some were even sent to go to other cities. "

"You're right, will it be a war? "

"May not!! "

Alephis is the name for the capital of the famous Dukedom. Its economy was advanced thanks to the King who led this kingdom, Statin Urdein Wasken.

Even so, the government has lately become very tense. The business of going out and entering the city was completely controlled by the knights.

This unusual change of situation raises concerns and confusion. However, no one dared to question that.

Meanwhile in the castle, a man with complete armor came to report to the King. But the strange thing is that they did not have a formal meeting, but rather a secret encounter attended only by the two of them.

"I have returned, my King!! "

"Good... How are things out there? "

"I'm sorry, my lord, we still haven't found him. But we've blocked the border and checked every last time. "

"Good... Is there a small development or a clue? "

"There are.all the knights have been sent to several cities as ordered by my master and we have also investigated some dark guilds. But for now we still haven't found any more clues."

"Hmpphhhh!! "

The king seemed uninterested in the information, however it was only a small development.

"Anu.. My lord, may I ask you one? "

"Please!! "

"Why are you deploying so many ordinary knights to carry out this mission. Moreover, they were only stationed in big cities, what about small towns? doesn't this make it easier for the enemy to know our position. "

It is true, if you want to find a hiding enemy, the act of deploying many people is considered the most appropriate. But it will also make it easier for the other party to know your movements.

So to deploy a large army is not a good thing. Shouldn't you be doing it in secret? looks calm on the surface.

"Captain knight!! our enemy this time might be the nobles within this country alone. So my actions are natural to the present state of affairs. "

That's so... The king knew his enemy was a noble from his own country. It is only fitting that their meeting be held in secret without the interference of the other party. In addition, they can avoid the enemy to know the content of their conversation. Looks like the knight captain is the King's confidant.

"I appreciate the thought of my master... But what causes you to think so? "

"Easy...at the beginning of the search plan first, we gathered all the nobles and had a conversation with them. As a result, the enemy really knew the plan that was carried out on the day of the meeting. So to avoid this constant trouble I made our meeting a secret........ "

"That's why you don't have a conversation with the nobles present on that day. But what does that have to do with your plan of deploying knights in certain cities. Is it to watch over every noble? but I don't think that's your goal. "

"You are right. The reason is to deceive the enemy. If you are an enemy, what do you do in this situation? " The king asked the knight captain.

"Hummp given the many knights deployed to the big cities, I would not likely be staying there because it was too risky to find. "

"??"

"It seems you have realized something" said the king

"Oh, my lord your plan even tricked me the only person who always talks to you about this. "

The knight captain had understood the plan behind the king's actions. According to him, if the king even managed to trick himself, it was impossible that an enemy who did not know the plan would be deceived. After he knew what the king meant, he knew what to do next.

"So what is your command my lord!! "

"Order the secret unit to move to some small town and observe there. Most likely our enemy is in one of those cities. "

"All right, master!! "

........

"...His majesty. There's one thing I want to tell you. "

"Whatis that? "

In a room in the royal palace, a man had received a report from a hooded man. That man was Philip, the first prince of the Dukedom Kingdom. Philip sipped a cup of tea that was in his hand without interest, but stopped moving due to the contents of the report from the man.

"The prisoner's subjects have escaped. "

"What!! how you guys work. Keeping someone else can't."

Hearing the man's words, Philip's eyes widened. He poured tea on the man while insulting him.

"Curtain, useless. Find that person now, otherwise I'll replace you with someone else. "

"Ba. well my majesty will leave now. "the man left in a state of fear. It was because he understood the prince's sentence. If he failed this time, his life would be over.

"Humph." even after the man left, Philip's anger still had not subsided even in his eyes described a feeling of uneasiness.

Shit, if I hadn't rushed that day, this wouldn't have happened. What's to be done? my position is in danger if he's found.

Instantly, a dark-clothed woman appeared from the shadows near Philip.

"What about father. Do you know the plan? " ask Philip

"I'm sorry, your majesty. The care around the king was very strict, I found it difficult to get information" said the woman on her knees.

"Did you not love your sister anymore? "

In response to Philip's words, the woman's body trembled while shedding tears.

"Help your majesty!! don't fuck my sister. I'll do anything for you. "the woman pleaded with Philip.

"Well this is the last chance. So do your job better. "

After that, the woman went to get more information about the king's movements as ordered by Philip.

Cih, the plan is not as planned.

....

Elsewhere, somewhere else,

Early in the morning I had woken up for breakfast with a simple soup before leaving for the guild. Upon arrival at the guild I checked the request on the guild board.

[What should I do for today? ]

In the end I decided to take on a request like this,

Request: Hunt the horned wolf

Subject of request: Wolf horn

Number of: Three

Prize: 12 silver coins

Level : E

Time limit: three days

"Urmm, do you seriously want to take this request? "

The receptionist who managed my request asked me for certainty.

[Right.I've been promoted to level E recently. Can I take it?]

"You can, but remember to be careful. If you fail to carry out the mission, punishment will be given. "

After the receptionist's brief explanation, I went outside, the city to do a mission.
