Overgeared

The followers who protected the Ruins of the War God had a completely different way of fighting depending on what they learned, but there was something they had in common. They were strong enough to escape the common sense of the imperial soldiers, no matter what secret techniques were learned.

However, their range of activities was very narrow. They only focused on patrolling the inside of the jungle and didn’t come out to the outskirts or approach the coast. Thanks to this, the imperial soldiers were able to operate relatively freely. Then one day, a problem arose.

“I think we’ll run out of drinking water in three days...”

The drinking water, which had been loaded on the warship, was starting to run out. This was natural since it was difficult to find drinking water on the coast. They had to go through the jungle to find lakes or valleys.

“Hrmm…”

Grenhal, Morse, and Basara fell into distress for a moment. They might be able to get sufficient drinking water from the reinforcements, but their arrival was delayed. Given the dangers of the Red Sea, there was no guarantee the troops would arrive within three days. It was impossible to confirm since communication wasn’t allowed.

“We’ll have to go and get drinking water directly.”

They had to enter the jungle. It was a considerable burden on the dukes. If there were six followers who learned five secret techniques coming at them simultaneously, wouldn’t they be able to pressure the dukes? It was naturally a big threat. The dukes would be eliminated if they were surrounded by dozens of followers.

There was an even greater risk. It was the traps. There were all sorts of traps that the dukes couldn’t bear. It would be hard to deal with the followers while paying attention to things that couldn’t be bypassed without the keys. However—

“Let’s go.”

They were responsible for 5,000 soldiers, the private soldiers brought from their respective families. They couldn’t let the people who contributed to the revival of their families die of thirst. It was a duty and pride they felt as the noble and lord of an estate.

“M-My Lord.” The soldiers’ eyes reddened. After all, they had eyes and brains. They knew the dukes were acting unreasonably because of them.

Morse clicked his tongue as he watched the soldiers who felt guilty and anxious simultaneously. “Have we fallen to the point where you are worried about us? I’ve demonstrated a few times that the followers aren’t that strong, but you didn’t show such a response.”

“We will correct it!” The soldiers’ eyes shone brightly. Morse’s confidence gave them an optimistic view of the situation. The dukes could still afford to act.

“...” Nevertheless, the expressions of the knights were dark. The knights had been trained by the dukes and were aware that the dukes were tense.

It was a conflicted atmosphere.

“I’m going. Protect Sir Skunk and the barracks well while we are absent.”

“Attention!”

“Attention!”

The knights and soldiers responded mightily.
