Not A Hero
Eps. 23 - Invasion [ll ]
Everyone in the room was shocked to hear Escal's statement.
“Do you know the consequences of what you say, son?” Julius looked at Escal as if asking for an explanation.
Escal nodded lightly, “Of course. You should have felt strange about this situation. A Viscount trying to rebel? Unless there is a great power behind him, this is just a suicide.”
No one disputes Escal's remarks, including Frank, who has been arguing with him since. Anyway, this makes sense.
“In addition, I also have another guess if the Third Prince is cooperating with the Earthvill Kingdom that is at war with this Kingdom.”
The four Commanders contemplated Escal's words carefully. Whatever the circumstances, the four men are still leaders who are often given the task to think, whether it is in strategy or investigation.
Their brains worked quickly, Harold stared straight at Escal.
“Your plan,”
One word that was immediately understood by Escal, he smiled faintly and began to say his plan.
The attack will be carried out suddenly, that night so that the enemy does not have time to prepare anything.
Escal will participate in the raid, but not on the front lines. Instead of being a scout who will sneak into the Fortress to find evidence and truth.
He also said his observations last night while scouting the Fortress. The thing that surprised the commanders the most was, the Existence of the High Human in the Fortress.
Moreover, the amount is not yet known for sure because even Escal information can be from the System notification.
“It will be difficult against High Human, especially if it is more than one. With a team that is less than the maximum even though the weapons are complete, the possibility to win is not half.”
Loyd let out a rough sigh, Harold and the others thought hard to solve that one problem.
“They seem to pay less attention around. If only this wasn't related to Sub Mission with a good reward, I wouldn't care.”
“I have a suggestion.” With his usual flat tone, Escal raised his right hand.
Straight away all the attention directed to him, “We just take advantage of the Warriors who come to add troops. Whatever you guys will promise any rewards, they will still be hard to resist.”
The thing that Escal said was certainly not nonsense because he knew how valuable the rewards of the Mission would be after completing the Sub Mission.
In addition to the value of Contributions to the kingdom going up, there were High-class Weapons and Hundreds of Gold Coins promised as Gifts.
Even so, only a few Warriors knew the original intent of Sub Mission. While the others, just fixed on the gift without observing properly.
Everything went well, thanks to Escal and the Commanders. The troops almost matched the original number they should have, although the Warriors were given the freedom to attack individually.
There were also those who joined the royal group, but most split up and attacked first.
Escal in all black clothes and different from usual, brought some items that he would later use.
Looking at the battle that was starting to break out, Escal gazed towards the battle for a moment before starting to run his action to settle down.

“BRAK!” Veron breaks his desk when he hears bad news from his subordinates.
“Sial, why did the attack time suddenly change?! Did they betray?”
He approached his subordinate who reported and held his shoulder, “Burn this place when the battle is almost won, even if that means you also burn. Understand?”
Veron's eyes lit up for a while before turning dim, while on the other hand his subordinates were reporting like losing light from the look of his eyes as controlled.
“I understand, Mr.”
Veron smiled thinly behind the cloth covering his mouth, then left after confirming if his hypnosis was successful.
Outside, the fight is back one-sided as Max suddenly appears and goes berserk. His strength was truly enormous, until many troops instantly bounced away once struck by his punch.
“Hahaha! Die up! Die!”
As if he was going crazy, Max attacked blindly and was about to destroy the body of an army that could not stand.
"BANG!"
The unexpected attack immediately left Max in a defensive position and pushed back, positioning his hands in front of his chest with a scratch.
“Lumayan also.”
The body of a large man who was almost the same as Max stood in front of the royal troops who were sitting with their right hands clenched in front because they had just slammed a punch.
Barrey returns with his position, as does Max who inexplicably becomes interested.
“While this is only half my strength, it should be that Level Twelve to Thirteen Humans will still lose. Pulling,”
Barrey put on a serious face, then told the troops behind him to leave the fighting arena with all the remaining manpower.
“Alright, I won't mess around even though you might die.”
After saying so, Max's body seemed to swell and get bigger with veins protruding all over his body. An overwhelming threat was immediately felt, even before he attacked.
“I also have to be serious. Berserker Bear!”
Barrey's fangs and hooves extended out like wild beasts, his fur became increasingly dense and his body grew bigger. It really was like a ferocious Humanoid Bear.
The two of them also darted, making a thick fog that swept through their fighting area.
On the other hand, Zhale moved swiftly into the Fortress. When he saw a black shadow, his reflexes immediately flashed an attack with a powerful kick behind his back.
But it was easily avoided, and his legs were gripped. Zhale twisted his body so that his legs would come off, and returned a powerful blow.
"Pat!"
The punch was easily held and grasped, Zhale thought of attacking again but a voice from the person he attacked stopped him.
“Enough, or I'll really cripple you.” An emotionless cold voice, Zhale had heard of it.
“Escal?”
