Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 603 Luring in the enemy (1)

The next morning, we set off from Vayne City.

As if to show his support, Duke Yuletide even came to the city gates himself to see us off.

From the head of the army, I could see him above the gates when I turned back to look at the city. Seeing me look back, Duke Yuletide even gave me a nod as if he was showing his support.

I just gave a nod back in response, but…

Neither of us were sincere in our nods.

Both of us clearly didn't want to see the other side succeed, so we were only doing this to put on a show.

Once we left Vayne City, we headed further west to the border.

Even though the enemy sent people into our kingdom's territory to raid, those were nothing more than small groups. The main forces would still be on the border since they wouldn't risk being wrapped around.

After all, if they didn't take care of the forces of the nobles that hid in their territory, then they wouldn't be able to ensure that there were no enemy forces behind them.

Once they went deep into the enemy territory, it would be likely that they would get surrounded by the enemy if they left enemies behind them. So there wasn't a single sane general who would do something like this.

The main forces were the ones that we had to deal with.

Before we reached the border though, we suddenly stopped and set up camp.

After setting up camp, the first thing that we did was check the supplies that the duke gave us.

"As expected."

That was the only thing that I could say when we stopped and took a closer look at the supplies that were given to us.

The supplies seemed like they were normal on the outside, they even seemed like they were very fresh supplies that had been provided to us. But when one took off the fresh coating and looked underneath, they would find…

There were items that were close to breaking and goods that were close to rotting.

There was only a fresh coat on this and the insides were rotten.

After searching for a bit, General Killock threw the close to rotting fruit in his hand on the ground and said, "Damn! I knew that traitor wouldn't be up to anything good."

I just calmly raised my hand to stop him from going any further and said, "We already expected this. I have already arranged for more supplies to be sent to us later, so you don't need to worry."

General Killock revealed a look of rage as he said, "That isn't the problem. Even if we have supplies, we can't just let him get away with this."

This time, I nodded in agreement as I said, "I know, but it isn't the time yet. For now, we have to endure until it's time to make our move."

General Killock and the other officers looked like they were unhappy about this, but they didn't say anything in the end.

To change the topic, I suddenly said, "Alright, let's talk about our strategy instead."

When they heard this, General Killock and the other officers revealed serious looks before looking around us, as if they were afraid that there would be people listening.

I shook my head with a smile when I saw this before saying, "Why did you think that we came all the way out here to check the supplies when we already knew that they would be like this?"

General Killock and the officers looked around us again, but this time the looks in their eyes were completely different.

After a while, they just looked at me as if they were waiting to hear what I had to say.

So I waved for them to come closer before telling them my plan.

"General, this is too dangerous."

That was the general consensus that they came to after they heard what my plan was.

It was clear that there wasn't a single person who supported my plan.

In fact, even Cecilia and Shaka looked like they disapproved even if they had supported me previously.

I just calmly shook my head and said, "It's only dangerous if something unexpected happens. Otherwise, this is a foolproof plan, there is no way that something will go wrong."

They all looked like they clearly didn't believe me, but I refused to explain any further.

This was all because I couldn't tell them what the surprise was.

Even if I did, it was unlikely that they would have believed me, which was why I couldn't say a thing.

They looked at the determined look on my face for a while before finally giving up.

That was the prestige that I had built over the course of my time with this army.

They knew that I must have some kind of secret plan that I wasn't telling them and they were looking forward to seeing what my secret plan was. After all, the last secret plan had caused a slaughter that killed over a hundred thousand people.

After a long time, General Killock finally said, "Alright, what are our orders?"

I gave a nod and said with a smile, "It's very simple…"

…

The next day.

A small group set off from the camp.

This group was a group that was led by me while General Killock watched over the main camp of our army.

This group was supposed to be a scouting group that was to determine the location of the enemy.

I was going because I needed to personally see how the enemies were spread out, so I could make sure that there were no mistakes in my plan.

But as we left, there were certain people that noticed us leaving.

When we were a bit away from the camp, Shadow Five suddenly told me in a whisper, "There are people following you."

I gave a simple nod, but I didn't stop as I kept moving forward with this group.
