Chapter 71 Tag (1)

“Five days…… You’re in command anyway.”

“I’m a rock that rolled in. It’s possible to sit with your hips like this, but it’s meaningless.”

To Mutai with a curious look, Henry said again with a seemingly serious face.

“If I can’t solve the problem in five days, I’ll be back. Captain Mutai will be able to carry on the operation without the hassle.”

“Why would you suggest such a condition?”

“Instead, please follow my instructions for the five days I told you.”

“That’s what my lord has already instructed me to do…….”

“I mean it, from the bottom of my heart.”

“…….”

“It’s impossible without your help. As I said when I arrived here a while ago, it would only lead to an “unnecessary” process. I don’t want to do that.”

“It’s an unnecessary process…….”

“It would be a long time, actually, but isn’t it enough time to invest if you can get rid of the burdens?”

“Do you really think so?”

“I think so. I’m an outsider at Count Levi. I have no intention of naming Camilton, nor of bringing in the achievements of the Academy. They became meaningless from the moment I stepped in here.”

Huh.

Mutai swept his chin.

To be honest, it’s been a long time since I realized that my worries have become meaningless.

The young man in front of him was not arrogant.

The fact that confidence was excessive may be a flaw, but it was certainly not a child who was eaten up.

“Exactly how can I help you?”

“I don’t want loyalty. But you must follow my instructions. Not only Captain Mutai, but all the territorial soldiers here.”

“What if I do?”

“I’ll solve the problem in five days. If I fail, I apologize politely. In the presence of all territorial soldiers, including the captain.”

“Well, actually.”

“Tell me.”

Mutai scratched his head.

“It’s true that there was prejudice. The work of aristocrats…They do, don’t they? Honor is important, and in fact, honor is…….”

“If an apology for a mistake detracts from honor, we cannot do without it.”

“You look like a real knight.”

“I’m trying not to be swayed.”

Mutai remained silent for a while.

While watching Henry, I looked toward the closed door where the executives were.

Mutai sighed.

“You said you meant it.”

“Yes.”

“We’re in a position to follow orders anyway. But I can do it more actively. Am I right to understand?”

“Yes.”

“You know that ordering isn’t the only thing that can be solved. Even if I decide to help, I hope the others out there will go through the same process.”

“Of course. That’s why I asked you to have a private meeting.”

“It’s hard to understand.”

Muthai had a mysterious look on his face.

He just said he had to persuade other executives as well.

Even if Mutai was the captain of the guard, the actual operations were the officers outside the door.

Then wouldn’t it be better to speak with them all seated?

“It’s a process that we have to go through after all. I know that persuading only one captain is not something to do, and I also know that I can’t convince him completely with the process that I just had.”

“Of course I’m…….”

“I’m sure you’ll help. But that’s not the only truth I’m telling you.”

“It sounds sarcastic.”

“No, it’s not.”

“Can you explain?”

“I don’t mean to appeal to emotions. I just thought it wasn’t enough to remind me that I only had to endure five days.”

“Then.”

“It’s my job to make a reason. So you can follow me.”

Mutai nodded quietly.

Clearly, it was an accurate point.

I said I meant it, but in fact it didn’t make sense.

“Let me ask you first. In your opinion, why do you think bandits aren’t caught?”

“…Are you trying to point out our incompetence?”

“Not at all. That’s why I’m asking. The Territorial Army is competent. Count Levi has always been relaxed because of his competent soldiers.”

“Then.”

“I just asked you what you really thought.”

Mutai pushed his eyebrows up and down again.

“It’s because you’re so quick. It’s been a long time since he ran away with his tail when he approached for clues. It’s always been like that. From the moment they first appeared.”

“Have you ever seen it?”

“It was only once in a while. I didn’t have a lot of heads, and I lost it quickly. I thought I was following him, but he disappeared like a ghost.”

“Not because you’re strong. It’s just glutinous rice. Is that right?”

“That’s right.”

“Also, being quick is a little different from being fast. It means we’re one step ahead.”

“That’s right, too.”

“As far as I can guess.”

Henry lowered his voice. He glanced at the door behind him and whispered.

“The real enemy is inside.”

“You mean there’s a spy between us?”

“I don’t know that. It could be a mortuary, someone in the castle. It may even be an artifact to understand the internal situation.”

“…….”

“That’s why I can’t explain what’s going on. The bandits’ force is not outstanding, and if there had been even one battle, all of them would have been put in dungeons.”

“I’ve missed a report.”

“The forest outside the estate is their territory. And one of the things I learned was this skill. Could you take a look at it?”

“I’m watching.”

“My right hand will act as a tree.”

Henry put his right hand on the table. I turned it upside down and put some fingers on the table.

“Your left finger must be human. In this case, I’ll be a fugitive bandit.”

Henry moved his left index finger slowly.

” Assuming the trackers are chasing you from behind, if you move behind the tree like this.”

The index finger moved to the back of the finger.

The three fingers were clearly spaced apart, but from the tracker’s point of view, they looked as if they were stuck together.

“It was covered by a wall. Of course, this isn’t the case for all of course. But it’s clear that tracking in the forest is difficult.”

“I agree, but we have to catch him before he eventually escapes to the forest.….”

“I’m telling you that there’s something here that makes the situation impossible, or someone.”

Only after hearing that, Mutai’s expression softened.

It was because he realized that he did not blindly doubt the soldiers in the expression “something.”

“Are you going to catch a suspect and interrogate him?”

“I’ve thought of a few ways. I’m going to move according to the situation, and one more thing.”

Henry brought up the most important content.

“There’s a way for me not to miss these bandits in the woods.”

“I can do it at overwhelming speed.”

“That’s the other way around. Being fast is not enough. Count Levi would have used the same method if he could.”

“Then.”

“It’s hard to explain in words. Why don’t you show it to them yourself.

“You’re going to go after the bandits right now?”

“It doesn’t matter who the target is. I think it’s time to bring in the people outside.”

Mutai tilted at the sudden suggestion, but it was Henry’s audience that followed.

“We’ll have to play hide-and-seek first. Is there anyone in the living room for the mission?”

***

Mutai and other executives gathered with embarrassment.

Even Mutai, who had talked for a short time, seemed curious, so not to mention others.

“What the hell is he doing?”

“Do you know it’s me?”

“You’ve mixed up words, haven’t you?” We are…Do you know what’s going on here, lord?”

“You know, I’m sure you know a mess it is. I’m sure you sent it to me in the first place.”

“That guy?”

Mutai nodded to Rayleigh, the unit commander.

“I know you wanted me to please you, but it’s a shame.”

“I don’t think you’ve ever played a game.….”

“…….”

“No, I’m glad to hear that. Me, Won. Suddenly playing hide-and? Don’t you think it’s your own playground?”

Reilly’s face was dumbfounded.

Other executives were similar.

But unlike the beginning, Mutai couldn’t laugh together at the words.

“There’s got to be something, driver.”

“A hidden move?”

“Maybe it’s not just one thing.”

“Did something happen?”

Mutai shook his head.

There was nothing special.

He didn’t show his ability, he just showed his willingness to improve the situation.

“Was that really confidence?”

“What?”

“No, you’ll see. What can’t you do? Don’t you think so? Just like you make a promise to buy me a drink one day.”

“No, when did I…….”

“I’m ready.”

At that time, Henry, the person responsible for the situation, was heard.

He had the same calm voice as when he first met him.

Mutai has stepped up on behalf of executives who are cautious.

“So, now I have to hide?”

“Yes.”

“Range…….”

“As I said before, it doesn’t matter where this training camp is.”

“…okay.”

Mutai shrugged and looked back at the executives.

There was still a feeling that I didn’t know the English, and so was Mutai.

Henry Camilton.

The “proof” method proposed by the suddenly rolled stone was simple.

The story was that executives, except Mutai, would hide throughout the Count Levi’s training camp, and Henry would find them all in a short time.

It’s a ridiculous suggestion.’

Mutai thought so.

A training ground wasn’t just a space of dirt.

There are five large buildings just by accommodation and training.

Is that all?

Levi’s estate was abundant thanks to its modest income from its mines, and the welfare of the soldiers was spared.

If all the buildings for one purpose or another are combined, it will fall to 15 houses.

I can’t believe I’ll find them all in half an hour. It doesn’t make sense.’

Mutai smiled without realizing it.

Except for him, there were a total of about 10 executives.

What if they all spread out and hide?

It was clear that it would take a few days even if the Muta had grasped the structure of the place.

‘Although I’ve added a certain condition.’

Before starting, Henry asked Mutai for only one good deed.

The request was to send out all but executives from the training camp.

Thanks to this, hundreds of veterans enjoyed a sudden break.

“We’ll get started soon.”

“You may take your time to get ready.”

Nodding.

Mutai turned to officials.

He said, “Should I really do this?”

“You don’t understand, do you?”

“Yes.”

“Me too. I wonder what this is about, but change your mind a little bit. He asked me for five days, didn’t he?

“That’s right.”

He said he would prove it to himself. What if I fail here? Going back is not a dream.”

Harmony.

The executives’ expressions brightened.

Not all of them, but many of them found Mutai’s words reasonable.

The moment you fail this proof.

Everything Henry Camilton said was a loss of trust.

“And besides that.”

Mutai added with a grin.

“Do you really think this will work?”

“That’s… that’s right.”

“Right? What if we do? So it’s a way to follow along. It’s only been five days. It’s good to succeed, or you can be comfortable again. Do you all understand?”

“Yep.”

“So what do you have to do now?”

The atmosphere has turned 180 degrees.

Mutai asked obvious questions, and executives didn’t have to answer them.

“Let’s get started!”

Turning his head and shouting at Henry, Mutai grinned and slapped an executive on the shoulder.

“Come on, let’s go. Go back to your childhood and make sure you hide.”
