I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 158

Chapter 158

Episode 158

“Perfect. If he continues to grow like this, I think he will become the greatest Dark Maga master of all time.”

That wasn’t the answer Norse was looking for.

“My lord, I have a different opinion. No matter how fierce the storm may be, I don’t think it’s right to entrust the future of the family to a child who hasn’t even grown up yet.”

[Didn’t grow up, huh? Well.]

The Norse muttered in a strange tone.

[Do you think that kid looks like a normal kid?]

“…….”

[That kid isn’t just a genius. He’s a monster.]

Marquis Schuppen kept his mouth shut.

The Norseman let out a loud laugh.

[Okay, that’s fine. I felt the same way as you at first.]

“…….”

[You will come to accept it even if you don’t like it as you spend time with him, so watch him closely from now on. What kind of incomprehensible monster is that kid?]

With those words, the Norse’s form became blurred. He was about to turn back.

Marquis Schuppen, left alone, took out a cigarette and lit it.

“earthly.”

I looked down at the spire and saw Christian.

No matter how monstrous his talents are, would you risk your family’s future on a kid like that?

I still couldn’t agree with what Nordian said.

But at the same time, I understood why the Norse were taking such a risk.

A deep sigh accompanied the cigarette smoke.

“You really don’t have much time left. You’ve held out for quite some time.”

The Norse was getting impatient.

To his own impending annihilation.

As promised, Sanin stepped down from his position as captain, and Christian took over the position.

‘Of course, it is strange to take over an official position through a duel, but Marquis Schuppen approved it.’

Sanin handed over the emblem with a gloomy face.

“…This is the rank insignia that signifies the position of fifth general. From now on, you are the fifth general.”

There was no strength in his voice at all.

A look of great shock at losing the duel.

The heart disease also got worse.

‘It’s not good.’

He was a hateful guy, but he wasn’t my enemy.

He was a puppet that had to be exploited.

‘Now that you’re on your knees, I need to cheer you up.’

“What are you going to do from now on?”

“Yes? Not really?”

“Be my adjutant.”

“!!”

Sanin’s face turned red.

You took away my position as captain and now you want me to become an adjutant.

It was a story that tore at one’s pride.

“that….”

“What’s the problem? Even your father, Marquis Shupen, will end up kneeling before me anyway.”

“!!”

“You seem to have forgotten, I am the one who will become the head of the household. Does it hurt your pride to bow down to me like that?”

Christian leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.

Arrogantly.

“Saenin, look into my eyes.”

“…….”

“Come on. Straight.”

Sanin bit her lip tightly.

He’s just a little boy.

I felt an overwhelming feeling that I couldn’t resist.

Dark and dark.

The black-red eyes, as if they were crushing him, met Sanin’s gaze and asked.

“I ask again. Sanin, do you still not acknowledge me?”

“…….”

“If that’s the case, I won’t look back at you either. I don’t need someone who can’t let go of their useless stubbornness because of their pride.”

Sanin clenched his fists.

It was another story that hit the nail on the head.

The reason Sanin ignored the princes of his family was because he thought he was better than them.

But now?

Christian defeated him.

And that’s not all.

That feeling of oppression right now.

It wasn’t just a feeling of pressure that came from great power.

I could feel it instinctively.

That the boy was greater than himself.

I was just ignoring it because of my pride.

“…No, I admit it.”

Sanin bowed his head.

“You are worthy of my service.”

As I acknowledged Christian in my heart, my blocked heart felt relieved as if it had been cleared.

The mind that had been filled with twisted feelings of inferiority began to loosen up.

“But don’t get me wrong. Just because I lost once doesn’t mean I’ve lost forever. Next time, I’ll definitely beat you.”

Sanin spoke again, his eyes burning with victory.

It was a pure feeling of triumph, different from before.

“Challenges are always welcome.”

Chris chuckled.

“No matter how hard you struggle, you will never be able to defeat me.”

So Chris made Sanin his adjutant.

‘Okay. I’ll leave all the menial tasks to Sanin.’

Anyway, the position of captain is just a passing one.

If you achieve great things and become the deputy commander, I will hand it over to Sanin again, so I will leave most things to Sanin.

‘I have other important things to do.’

Chris’s eyes softened.

I had to use my authority as captain to find a way to save Marquis Schuppen.

The day is not far when Marquis Schuppen will be murdered by an unknown assailant.

* * *

The Dark Demon Army is divided into five squadrons.

A squadron consists of 2,000 people, and Chris is in charge of the 5th squadron.

‘The rear unit that protects the command post.’

So the nature of the mission was somewhat different from that of the forward units stationed at the barrier.

They were mainly responsible for auxiliary tasks such as supply, maintaining security, gathering information, and providing support within the castle.

‘That’s great. This is exactly the role I need right now.’

I don’t know how Marquis Schuppen died.

The body was found badly decomposed, so it was unclear exactly when he died.

One thing I do know is that he died not on the wall, but near the Marquisate of Shupen.

‘That is, the villain will first infiltrate the Marquis of Shupen. Then, he will take advantage of the opportunity when the Marquis of Shupen is alone to carry out the act.’

Marquis Schuppen was not only a commander, but also a high lord, so he often traveled around the nearby area.

Since only a few escort mines accompanied him whenever he moved, he was honestly vulnerable.

‘But that doesn’t mean I can’t have a large escort with me every time I move.’

Unlike the Allied forces, the Mines did not carry many escort troops even for high-ranking officials.

Because I believe in myself.

It was also a source of pride.

‘Above all, it’s no use guarding them tightly like that. I’ll wait until Marquis Shupen’s guard loosens up.’

It wasn’t an easy task.

But it wasn’t like there was no way.

Chris quickly filled out the paperwork and went to see Marquis Shupen.

“What is this? A proposal to improve rear defense?”

“Yes, I am the leader and I have been looking into it, so I see that there are many loopholes.”

“A gap?”

Fortunately, Marquis Schuppen, who had a cool personality, didn’t lose his temper or anything.

“Let’s talk about it in detail.”

“The defense of the wall is impeccable. The connection between the forward garrison and the rear reserve is perfect.”

It was a system that came about thanks to a long fight.

“But the defense here in the rear is relatively weak. To be honest, it’s in poor condition.”

“What’s the point of defending the rear? After all, the place we have to protect is the wall.”

That wasn’t a wrong statement.

but.

“If the Four Kings send high-ranking mines to disrupt the rear, there is no way to respond quickly under the current system.”

Marquis Schuppen wiggled his eyebrows.

Because it was a very possible situation.

In fact, this happened often in the past when the atmosphere and the Four Kings were at extremes.

“The atmosphere at the Four Kings Castle is getting increasingly worse, so I believe we need to prepare in advance before something happens.”

Of course, the reason Chris made this suggestion was because of the impending death of Marquis Schuppen.

The idea is to set up a system so that support forces can strike immediately.

Since we don’t know the exact location where the incident will occur, we have to be prepared to respond whenever and wherever something happens.

“I believe that if we reinforce the security forces in several strategic rear areas and strengthen the communication system, we will be able to respond sufficiently in the event of an emergency.”

“Not a bad idea.”

Marquis Schuppen read Christian’s proposal and nodded.

It wasn’t a large-scale troop movement. Troop redeployment wasn’t an easy decision to make.

The key point is to strengthen the intermediate strategic points and systematize the communication system.

When something happens, troops from the intermediate strategic point will first come out to buy time.

In the meantime, the 5th Squadron of the command center and the 3rd and 4th Squadrons located relatively farther back are contacted to ensure that they quickly provide support.

‘It’s okay.’

Marquis Schuppen was slightly impressed by the specific content of the proposal.

It wasn’t just a good idea.

The stationing locations, strategic points, and movement routes of each squadron were all perfectly considered.

If things continue like this, we will be able to respond promptly even if something happens in the rear.

‘Have you ever studied military science?’

The Mines valued only their own strength, so few were well-versed in this type of military science.

“We will make sure that this proposal is reflected as quickly as possible.”

“Thank you. I have another suggestion.”

“What is it?”

“While serving as the commander of the 5th Squadron, I would also like to assume the role of captain of the guard of the Marquisate of Schuppen.”

“Hmm?”

Marquis Schuppen made a surprised face.

The Dark Lord and the Marquisate of Shupen are not one.

Because the Dark Demon Army is a force owned by the main family.

Marquis Schuppen merely holds the position of commander.

‘But it’s not divided so clearly.’

The wall belongs to the Marquisate of Shupen, and many of the leaders of the Dark Army were vassals of the Marquisate of Shupen.

Therefore, it was not uncommon for the person who held the position of captain to also serve as the captain of the guard responsible for the security of the Margraviate of Schuppen.

“Why do you insist on taking on the position of captain? It doesn’t seem like it would be of much benefit to you.”

The position of captain of the guard is one that has no merits and is full of petty, annoying tasks.

“To inspect the people directly.”

“Hmm?”

“I am the one who will become the master of the Dark Maga. It is important to make achievements, but I also think it is important to take care of the people on this occasion.”

The Marquis of Schuppen’s eyes lit up for a moment.

“You’re saying some pretty unusual things for a young child. Okay, I understand. I’ll give you the position of captain.”

“thank you.”

Christian bowed his head.

‘Of course it’s a lie.’

There was another reason why I took on the role of captain.

‘The culprit will first infiltrate the Marquisate of Schuppen.’

If you do well, you may be able to catch the tail.

“I have one more suggestion.”

“also?”

Chris nodded.

‘This is the most important agenda.’

“Can you practice with me once a day?”

“Map sparring?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to be taught by you.”

Marquis Schuppen made a surprised face.

“That won’t be difficult. Alright.”

Marquis Schuppen thought to himself that it was a good thing.

‘I’d like to take this opportunity to break that arrogant bastard’s spirit.’

I didn’t do it out of ill will.

The Marquis of Schuppen did not dislike Christian.

On the contrary, I was secretly surprised.

Because he is the driving force that will lead the Dark Maga in the future.

So, this was actually a thought I had for Christian’s sake.

‘It would be good for the future if we break the spirit and learn to aim high in the sky.’

“But don’t think that I will be kind to you just because it’s a map match. If you don’t have the confidence to handle it, it would be better to give up now.”

A threat to show a proper example during the map match.

But Christian nodded calmly and said something unexpected.

“Can I say something too?”

“What is it?”

“If I succeed in striking your Majesty during our duel, will you grant me one favor?”

For a moment, Marquis Schuppen doubted his ears.

What the heck is that bald guy talking about now?

‘I’m not just looking for guidance.’

Chris’s eyes softened.

There was an important reason why I requested this map training.

The Marquis of Schuppen could not even imagine it.
