I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 69

I shake my head and decide to focus on the enemy, who is soon to come.

"Gwyn!"

"My lord!"

I look at my father and wait for my order.

"Gwyn, I will leave the healing station to you and your people. Not only that, I will leave the command of your team completely in your hands."

Before I can say something, Lord Tarrow walks forward and says.

"Wait a minute! Don’t you think this is a foolish order, my lord? Heir Gwyndolin is an inexperienced young man. He cannot command that unit who can change the flow of the battlefield."

At his word, my father releases a massive amount of bloodlust. I can see the two lords get pale at the massive amount of bloodlust.

"Are you judging my command, my lord? Are you saying that my son cannot command his unit? The son who commands his unit to beat a Monster Wave, two of them at once, is not worthy of commanding the people he trains. These people are his brothers in arms. The people who go around the southern land kill thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands, of monsters in their journey. Are you saying he is not worthy?"

"T-That is not what I mean."

"Then tell me what you mean. You two have been insulting my son, my heir, for the past two days. The only reason why I’m not saying anything is because I still respect the two of you. However, that respect slowly turns into hatred the more you insult him. One more time you decide to insult or disrespect him, the Cunningham family will declare a blood feud to your entire family."

The pale-looking lords get even paler than before. Lord Lionheart and Lord Tarrow can only look down at my father’s word. Blood Feud is the other way to say declaring war. Because the kingdom did not allow a noble house to declare war on each other, Blood Feud is the other way around.

You cannot move your army and ransack the other side of the house, but you can use economic war to destroy that said house. You can embargo them and ask (threaten) other houses to ensure they did not trade with the enemy.

It will take years, but the other house will surely fall as long as you are a bigger and more powerful house. The Cunningham family is one such powerhouse that can make the majority of the Southern Noble go down in history.

"I’m sorry, my lord."

"Good."

My father looks at me and says.

"Take your men and make sure they are ready. We will get the attention of the enemy’s main army, and you will take the rest. I will leave the strategy to you. Make sure to get a result."

"Of course, father."

"Good. You are dismissed."

I nod and leave the wall. While walking away from the wall, I look at Jullian and say.

"Jullian, gather the boys. I have a plan."

"Of course, young master. Where should we meet?"

"The armory."

"Yes!"

Jonathan and I walk to the armory, where we meet Sonia and her group on the way. I tell her about the job, and she dutifully follows me. When we arrive beside the armory, I spread my mana around to see if someone is hiding.

To my surprise, there was one person.

"Sonia, behind that tree. Subdue him."

Without saying a word, Sonia takes action and appears next to the tree. She thrusts her hand and punches the one hiding behind the tree. A few seconds later, she returned with the spy on her shoulder. She throws him to the ground, and I can see it is the right-hand man of Lord Lionheart.

"Now, let’s see what you are hiding. You have been moving around suspiciously."

I checked all the pockets, and to my surprise, there was a letter in one of the pockets.

"Let’s see..."

I read the letter. I frown at the content of the letter.

"I knew it. They are traitors."

The letter is coming from Charles ’The Great’ Vortigern. Lord Lionheart and Lord Tarrow are traitors. They are the ones who destroy the bridge and road in the southern territory to make the other nobles’ houses have a hard time moving.

They also make sure no messenger bird comes to the fortress. I don’t know what kind of offer the enemy gives the two of them, but they are willing to betray us who help them in their hard times. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"We should warn the lord, young master!"

"You are right. Let’s g–"

Before I can finish my word, a warhorn is being blown, and I can hear someone shouting.

"The enemy! The enemy has arrived!"

I frown at that word.

"Shit. We did not have enough time. Tch."

What should I do? I cannot deliver this news with the enemy on our doorstep. A disordered army is the worst kind of army.

"Heh. I knew it. There are traitors among this camp."

I look to the side and see the Silver Wolf mercenary group leader walk toward us.

"You know about this?"

"Know? No. Suspect it? Yes. The people with those two lords smell like a betrayal. They look nervous when they get inside the fortress; some are jumpy for no reason. Only someone who wants to betray us will behave like that."

I look at him and say.

"Sir Wolfram, can I ask for a favor?"

"Bah! Call me Wolfram, kid. I ain’t a knight. Tell me what kind of favor you want."

"Can you fight the soon-to-be traitor unit when they make a move?"

"Oh? Not protecting your father? I can see bloodlust in the traitor’s eyes, you know? They want to kill your father and create chaos for their unit to attack."

"I will be the one protecting him. I need someone to ensure our army does not get wiped out. Your group is the one who can do it."

"Hmmm... Fine. We can do that."

After saying that, he walks away from us. However, he stops after a couple of steps.

"As for the payment for this mission. I want a weapon."

After saying that, he walks away. A weapon, huh? Easy enough.

With Wolfram gone, I decide to make a move to protect my father. I take out my [Star Globe] and cast a spell.

"[Summon: Mandrake]"

After I say that, my shadow gets darker than usual.

"Protect my father and make sure he is alive."

After I say that, my shadow returns to normal. With [Mandrake] protecting my father, I can focus on ensuring the enemy regrets attacking us.
