Chapter 570 To the dungeon
Chapter 570 To the dungeon
The fourth prince took a while to calm himself before suddenly saying, “I can let you become a general in the army that I command. However, I have to tell you that it will be hard for you to get them to follow you since you have no experience or fame in the military.”
I gave a nod since I already expected this, but I had to do this since there was knowledge that I had that would certainly help change the tide of the war.
This was the knowledge that I had brought to this world from the game that this world was based on.
The game that this world was based on was very detailed, with many different random events hidden all over the world. These random events would range from finding items to encountering enemies to even encountering traps in the middle of nowhere.
As an avid gamer who had played this game to completion countless times, I basically had an encyclopedia of these events in my head.
I knew exactly where many of these events were and how to trigger them.
There were many such events that were scattered all around the border between this kingdom and the surrounding kingdom.
And that was my plan.
These events ranged from safe to very dangerous, so I was planning on leading the enemy armies into these dangerous events. I wanted them to trigger them so that they would kill themselves, saving our troops from becoming casualties.
So that was why I needed to become a commander and have enough troops to affect the battlefield.
Only then would I be able to lead the enemies into these traps that I had prepared for them.
As for whether they would follow me or not, I didn’t need them to do much.
I just needed them to act as bait, so I was certain that I would at least be able to get them to follow these simple orders.
The fourth prince gave another sigh when he saw me respond with just a simple nod.
He then shook his head and said, “Alright, if that’s what you really want.”
While the fourth prince didn’t know what this brother of his was up to, this brother of his had given him enough pleasant surprises that he would trust him even if there was no proof that he should trust him.
Otherwise, since this brother of his was the one that his big sister loved, he would try his best to keep him safe.
Since he was young, he had already promised that he would try his best to keep his big sister and the people that she loved safe.
One might call that a sister complex, but the fourth prince didn’t care.
After this matter was settled, the fourth prince suddenly stood up and said, “Alright, let’s go and see the marquis.”
I couldn’t help revealing a surprised look when I heard this before looking at the fourth prince with a strange look as if I was trying to figure out what he was doing.
When the fourth prince came to the door, he turned to look at me.
Seeing that I was still sitting there without moving, he said, “What are you doing? Let’s go and see the marquis. We still need to take care of him before ending this matter.”
The fourth prince said it like it was something natural, but I still looked at him with a strange look.
At the same time, I couldn’t help wondering just what he meant when he said that we would be taking care of him.
Just what was the fourth prince planning to do to the marquis?
So I stood up and followed the fourth prince out to see what he was up to.
The fourth prince followed Nicole who led us to the dungeon in the town hall where the marquis was being kept.
As we went down, we passed by Cecilia and the cloaked figures that had gone with her to take the marquis away.
The cloaked figures immediately moved over to the fourth prince’s side as if they were worried about him while Cecilia came to my side and asked, “What’s going on?”
I didn’t get a chance to respond as the fourth prince said, “Follow me, we’re going to see the marquis.”
Cecilia raised a brow to look at me, but I just shook my head to show that I didn’t know what was happening either.
As for the cloaked figures, they followed the fourth prince without any hesitation.
It almost seemed as if there was a spring in their steps, as if they were happy that the fourth prince was allowing them to follow him.
It seemed that the fourth prince’s people really were loyal to him. In fact, it almost seemed like they worshipped him…which probably wasn’t a healthy thing.
This time, it changed to Cecilia leading the way since she was the one that put him in the dungeon in the first place. She would know exactly where to find the marquis.
Well, the cloaked figures that went with her would also know where to find the marquis, but they seemed more content following the fourth prince.
It really didn’t seem healthy, that relationship that they had.
When we came into the dungeon, I was surprised by how few people there were in here.
Cecilia saw this and said with a faint smile, “We have good security and people aren’t unhappy, so there isn’t as much crime.”
I turned to Rose with a look of pride.
I knew that I couldn’t take responsibility for this since it was Rose who mainly took care of the town.
Rose couldn’t help revealing a shy look when she saw me looking at her like this.
The fourth prince didn’t wait as he walked forward, looking from cell to cell as he looked for the marquis.
When he finally found him, he stood there in front of the cell.
The marquis who had woken up sat there chained to the wall, looking up at the fourth prince.
