Shadow Court Magician Chapter 44: Leon Pursued by an Army

 I succeeded in moving the soldiers in the way I need them.

 

 I couldn’t get the support of other regular divisions, but it is as expected.

 

 

 Or rather, my calculation was that if I can move the Libra Division, the rest would just move with my will.

 

 

~3rd Person Perspective~

 

 

 So the Libra Division hurried out of the Royal Capital, but there was one miscalculation.

 

 The unconscious Crown Prince Maxis woke up earlier than Leon had expected.

 

 He headed to the commander-in-chief’s office in Ernia, holding his bleeding nose.

 

 Maxis jumped in while barging in with his eyes bloodshot.

 

 

“A rebel. There’s a rebel! Marshal! Arrest that man.” (Maxis)

 

 

 The Marshal is on top, the highest in rank in the military. Moreover, the Marshal did not like Maxis.

 

 So he didn’t really plan on siding with Maxis.

 

 

“—Your Highness Maxis, it is profane, terrible, and a mortal sin to hit Your Highness, but Your Highness also has a fault.” (McRanger)

 

“Marshal I am faultless!” (Maxis)

 

“Yes. I am in control of the chain of command of the army. Even your Highness should not even try to take it or return command without my permission.” (McRanger)

 

 

 He is probably referring to the command of the Libra Division.

 

 It was reasonable and common sense, but it seems that Maxis, who was born in the privileged class, could not understand the logic and common sense.

 

 He just yelled at the Marshal.

 

 

“Yes, I don’t care about that. Bring that man, Leon von Almarsh’s neck, immediately.” (Maxis)

 

 

 Maxis screamed like a spoiled brat. However, the Marshal could just sigh.

 

 

(…If a person like this spoiled brat succeeds to the throne, this country won’t be standing in the future.) (McRanger)

 

 

 I think so, but it is also true that this Leon hit the crown prince. He couldn’t just do anything.

 

 

“-I understand. I don’t know if I can follow Your Highness’s will, but I will have them take some responsibility. For the time being, we will dispatch an army to stop the Libra Division.” (McRanger)

 

“Oh, good. You did well Marshal. If I succeed the throne, I’ll definitely reward your loyalty.” (Maxis)

 

“Thank you, it was my pleasure.” (McRanger)

 

 

 In the end, the lines at the end were meaningless platitudes, but in this way, the army stopped the Libra Division that was about to depart.

 

 Maxis is the picture-perfect description of incompetence, but the Marshal of Ernia’s Army was not.

 

 It was expected, an incompetent person cannot be promoted to become.

 

  The Marshal immediately prepares an army to capture the Libra Division he then organizes one division.

 

 That division, which is made up of mostly cavalry corps, immediately catches up with the Libra Division.

 

 They boasted five times the strength of the Libra Division. Each person is armed with state-of-the-art guns deployed in the army.

 

 In addition, they report directly to the Marshal of the country. It was foolish to go against them.

 

 So I talk to their commander riding alone with my horse.

 

 

 I said as I rode the horse.

 

 

“Your army appears to be a division under the direct control of the Marshal, is there any problem?”

 

“Yes. We came to capture Leon von Almarsh.” (Division Commander)

 

“What is the charge?”

 

“Lèse-majesté. Those who raise their hands against the Royal Family have either have their arms cut off or sentenced to five years in prison.” (Division Commander)

 

“I see, I thought it was a crime of leaking confidential information.”

 

“Leaking confidential information? What do you mean?” (Division Commander)

 

 “The other day, I broadcast the evil of His Highness Kerich in the open space, I should have expected that his older brother Maxis was just as foolish.”

 

 

 The commander just looked perplexed after hearing me.

 

 His expression was strangely interesting, and I would have liked to see more of it, but I don’t have time to do that, so I made quick work of it.

 

 

“Since you’re a soldier, you know I’m in a hurry, but I know you have to live up to your superiors’ expectations.”

 

 

 So I doubt you’d keep following after seeing this.

 

 

“I’m sure I hit the royal family, I’ll atone for my sins right here, so please become my witness.”

 

 

 When I said that, I executed the sentencing by myself without any hesitation and in an instant.

 

 The commander of the division pursuing us who became my witness stood over like a statue with a frozen expression.

 

 He literally stared at me in a dazed expression.

 

 

“… I have seen your courage and loyalty, and I will report to the Marshal with ‘this’.” (Division Commander)

 

“…I see. Thank you.”

 

 

 When I said that, I stared at my now lighter arm like it was someone else’s, and returned to the Libra Division.

 

 

 When I return to the division, I immediately addressed Victor, who is now looking at me with a pale face.

 

 

“Lieutenant Victor, this division was accompanied by a dwarven engineer. Right?”

 

“… Ah, yeah.” (Victor)

 

 

 Victor answers, barely able to reply.

 

 

“Call him here.”

 

 

 Victor immediately ran, soon a dwarven engineer came to me.

 

 The dwarven engineer has a fearless expression. As soon as he stands in front of me, he then says,

 

 

“… Leon-sama has protected the princess’s honor at this extent.—I see. This dwarf, Doms, will reward your steadfast and loyal heart.” (Doms)

 

 

 He vowed to cooperate to his utmost.

 

 

“Thank you for that. Then, go back to your workshop in the Royal Capital and finish the ‘thing’ that I asked for.”

 

 

 The dwarven engineer Doms agreed and promised to finish it before the decisive battle.

 

 He said that it will be done even if he never sleeps and will immediately be delivered by horseback.

 

 

“Thank you.”

 

 

 I replied, holding the reins in my right hand and heading for Wagner.

 

 The Libra Brigade then headed for Wagner without rest and arrived five days later.

 

 It’s been nine days since I left for the city of Wagner.

 

 

 Leon von Almarsh was the fastest to ever go to the Royal Capital and the fastest to ever bring back reinforcements.

 

 

 Princess Sicily is astonished by that fact, and Kerich is even more astonished.

 

 

 In this way, Kerich’s siege on Wagner began to crumble.
