Chapter 112

TL: Zimming

After confirming the knight who was supposed to be the flag, my knights and I quickly moved to the camp.

Our camp was in a shopping district.

We chose that place because the buildings are concentrated and cannot be exploded, like our camp in Desong Street in the preliminary round.

In other words, it was a place where the opponent’s movement would be limited.

Entering the barracks, I checked with our knights about the ‘red haired knight.’

“That is Josh Telbourne.”

“Shuheil has been training since four days ago. The knight who is likely to become a flag is called Telbourne, he ran so fast! And the weakness of

Shuheil is…!!”

It was like what Lady Hadero said.

‘Then what I heard last time was a reliable information.’

It was necessary to confirm about what she said because she might have leaked false information for her fiance.

I nodded and listened to the rest of the information.

“Josh Telbourne is a fast runner, also good at horse riding. He’s a former archer, so he’s good at long-range combat.”

So he specialized in running.

There is no time limit for the finals. In my past life, the finals of virtual battle have been held for days.

I looked out of the barracks. The sky looked cloudy, and raindrops were falling one by one.

“Since all of his knight are from the city, they must be more familiar with this place than we are. Shuheil is a superior commander as he was the winner of the last virtual battle as well.”

Our knights looked nervous.

When everyone heard that, they must’ve been worried.

I grinned.

“But most of our knights are from Dubbled, and they are skilled in war. Also, our territory is a place where rain and snow fall frequently, so we can cope with climate change quickly and are physically superior to them.”

I stood up from my seat and looked at them.

“My father, Theodore Dubbled, has never been defeated in any battle. I’m his daughter. I will not lose unless you guys give up.”

The knights bent one knee at a time, when I told them that.

“Tell everyone why you guys the best knights.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

In the Imperial Palace, some of the nobles who saw what happened exclaimed.

“Lady Dubbled knows that confidence is important.”

In comparison, Edgar Shuheil, who was seen on the other side, could not hide his grim expression.

It was Leblaine’s strategy from the start. Above all, it must have been embarrassing that I already know the knight who became his flag by a mistake. No matter how sneaky he is, he is just a boy.

The commander was nervous, and Shuheil’s knights were also affected.

“Wasn’t it just to find out the flag that they surprised them with flames?”

“It must have been a stepping stone to make Shuheil nervous. That nine-year-old child is so brilliant.”

“The child of fate…”

“She’s a member of the Dubbled.”

Camilla told the Duke of Dubbled, who was nearby.

“She must have learned a lot from her father, a brilliant commander.”

“I’ve never taught her tactics. I’ve never advised her before.”

“Never?”

The Duke of Dubbled’s words stirred the surroundings.

Camilla asked with a surprised expression.

“Is it true? How can a nine-year-old girl learn something like that…”

“She’s a child with a father who has never been defeated in any battle. Of course she must’ve learned something. It’s possible because my daughter is excellent.”

They couldn’t even hide their smiles and proud expression.

Camilla laughed out loud. It was funny and surprising that the three brothers of Dubbled, Javelin Ariage, and the Duke himself showed signs of pride.

It would have been natural for them to be superior to others as they were born with the blood of powerful people and possessed unrivaled talents.

‘Well, any father would be in high spirits if they played a part in their children’s achievement.’

Leblaine had changed their perception of her that she was only a lucky girl to be adopted by Dubbled as a child of fate through virtual battle.

Some people still think so, but most of those were surprised.

After a while, those who saw the scene got up,

“The battle has begun!”

Part of Leblaine’s knights headed to the Shuheil’s camp.

The battle in the rain was dominated by Leblaine’s knights.

“This…ah!”

The Dubbled’s knights, which seemed to be fleeing, destroyed Shuheil’s place.

And,

Gwang, gwang!!

A shot came from the building right in front of the Shuheil’s camp.

The surprised horse began to cry and run away.

Shuheil’s face looked faintly worn out.

[Catch him!]

By eliminating the horses. They intended to catch Josh Telbourne who is good at horse riding.

No matter how fast his feet are, he is no match without a horse. The reason why Josh Telbourne became a flag disappeared.

“Oh my god!”

Many people gulped.

It was the same in the preliminary round, they were overwhelmed by the situation.

“What about the lady?”

At the end of the night, Leblaine was on the move with the remaining half of the knight.

“Is the lady going on her own? It would be dangerous!”

The weak-hearted ladies looked at the little girl with a worried look.

The number of knights deployed in virtual battle is all equal to twenty. But Shuheil himself participates in the battle, so Dubbled is outnumbered.

In some of the battles, a person will be pushed back by the lack of one person.

Those who supported Leblaine were naturally worried.

Leblaine entered a shabby building that seemed to be a warehouse, when she couldn’t see any video stone there.

At that time, the Duke of Vallua got up.

‘We, well that’s…!’

“Father?”

Hayton and Niel, who was watching with the Duke of Vallua, looked at their father, who had turned pale.

The Duke of Vallua sat down again, as he gulped.

‘No. She can’t find it just by going inside.’

He has already hidden it meticulously.

Maybe that’s why he was not worried even if the area was included in the virtual battle.

‘But, why is she going there?’

It’s a building surrounded by a tall buildings, and it’s right near Leblaine’s camp, so unless Shuheil’s flag is stupid, he won’t hide there…!

***

‘This is one of the Duke Vallua secret warehouses.’

I smiled and put the magic tool in my pocket.

I came in to avoid the race and look inside.

With the excuse of destroying the place where the flag could hide, even the video stone near the window was caught in the explosion.

‘As soon as I saw this place, I had planned it.’

“What should we do with the storehouse underground?”

“We have to hide it quietly so that it is not noticeable. First of all….”

I recalled the memories I had in my second life.

‘Underground. I heard there’s an underground storehouse…”

“There is a similar bookshelf in the Duke of Vallua’s study.”

I know that because I lived as the daughter of Duke Vallua in my second life.

I felt suspicious of him leaving such a bookshelf in the warehouse, so I searched the bookshelf. And something caught my eyes in the corner.

Let’s press it.

Kuungg…

The bookshelf split and the stairs were revealed.

I laughed out loud.

“That’s why he got so mad when I ate a stolen bread in the study room.”

He was scared that I would know about this.

I snorted and went down the stairs carefully.

It smells like rusty iron.

‘Smells like iron? No, it smells like blood!’

I made a barrier and walked again, just in case.

Many hair was scattered around, traces of a line were carved on the floor, and a small amount of mana was still in the air.

“Boone, how does an owdinawy pewson summon a devil?” (Boone, how does an ordinary person summon a devil.)

“It’s possible with a certain amount of jewels, mana, offerings, and a summoner.”

“Summwoner?” (Summoner?)

“Devil has different summoners. That’s the most important thing to call out the devil.”

I could only laugh cynically.

“Bastard, he summoned the devil here.”

Then the hair that was on the way would have belonged to the people he bought from the orphanage.

I saw the remaining line on the floor.

It is fortunate that it took time for the traces to be erased because it was drawn with mana.

When I followed the line, I could see the summoner’s painting.

‘Once I remember this painting, I’ll find a magician and find out what kind of summoning it is…’

As soon as I thought so, my surroundings shook greatly.

Gwang, gwang!!

At the same time, my communications device flashed.

[Little miss, come on out. Shuheil’s knights have surrounded us!]

Oh my god. I think I’ve delayed too much time.

I hurried up the stairs and said,

“Which way do I have to go?”

[First of all, wait at the window… with the view of the…]

I couldn’t hear their voice, and the communication was cut off.

It seems that Shuheil used a magic item as well, which interfered withmy communication.

Our knights don’t have a commander now.

I bit my lips tightly.

If this happens, we can’t win,

I have no choice but to call the last knight they do not know of.

‘Ah, I was going to use him at the end.’

I used the transmitter to send a signal.

It blinked three times.

And soon after, a man appeared outside the window…

Edgar Shuheil shouted when he found him.

“That’s ridiculous! How could you…”

I shouted out to the window.

“Zachary!”

“Since when did you start having aura?”

“Teacher, of course it’s a strategy.”

“What?”

“It’s a mana stone with an aura. That way, they’ll think I’m not here and let their guard down. The little miss should contact the palace for a knight replacement tomorrow. Everyone will think that I had an aura.”

Our knight’s annoying leader.

My escort who is second only to Henry.

It was Zachary.
