The Leader of the NTR Knights Decided To Escape chapter 12
12 – I want to drink the alcohol you pour!
“now! Drink and drink!”
“Ha.. How long has it been since you’ve been drinking… ”
“I’m going to get drunk to my heart’s content today!”
“Cheers to the rebels!”
Rebels drinking the wine of victory filled with the joy of driving out their enemies.
Originally, they couldn’t even afford to hold a banquet like this due to lack of supplies.
However, the huge amount of supplies captured from this raid was allowing them to have a good time like this.
Because they retreated so hastily, they left most of their food as well as siege weapons and ammunition for battle and ran away.
The rebels temporarily relieved the mental and physical fatigue that had accumulated during that time by drinking to their heart’s content the much sweeter alcohol, perhaps because it had been stolen from the enemies.

Meanwhile,
Apart from the rebels who are having such a good time.
At this moment, I was leaning against the wall of the fortress alone, observing what I could only see for a moment.
<Hidden Quest – Successful preparation for revenge>
[Thanks to your outstanding performance, the rebels have won.
The rebels recognize you as a true ally.
Now, based on their trust, you plan to take revenge on the empire]
An information window indicating successful completion of the quest.
In response, I was relieved that I had passed a big mountain, and a smile automatically started to form on my lips.
at that time.
Another guidance window began to appear in front of me, who was feeling such a sense of accomplishment.
<Secret route open! – For the revolution>
[Originally loyal to the British Empire, you have become a member of the rebels.
Fulfill the revolution with them as they suffer from the tyranny of the Empire.
New factions and new heroines will help you.
The goal is to drive the Imperial Army from the land and achieve complete independence for the rebels.]
‘Secret route… I was expecting it, but it turns out to be fun.’
I had been aware of it to some extent from the time I joined the rebels, but this phrase in front of me at this moment was actually confirming and killing me.
Particular attention should be paid to the heroine.
Originally, in the game, the opposing forces, the rebels, could not be included as heroines no matter what they did, but now it was possible.
‘The problem is that even the heroines of the Imperial Army, who worked hard for 10 years, hit the back of the head, and there is no law telling them not to do it again… ‘
To be honest, now that I don’t know who made this quest information board that keeps popping up, it was risky in many ways to attack me vaguely as a heroine.
And in that respect…
I don’t know what kind of heroine will come out, but at the same time as being somewhat wary,
Even if they are subjected to NTR, they concluded that it is necessary to act as selfishly as possible so as not to suffer internal injuries.
Rather than going out as a personable character vaguely like the Hogu character in the game and being taken advantage of and thrown away, it is a way to calmly weigh the profit and loss and take care of what I need to take care of.
‘But… Rebel heroine. To be honest, I have no idea who will come out right now… Could it be that the female bosses I’ve fought so far will become heroines?’
It was at that time when I was feeling tension and deep anticipation that could not be denied in my heart.
“Were you here?”
“Ah, General Franklin!”
At some point, a person on top of the castle wall.
At the words of General Little T Franklin, I first bowed my head and showed my respect.
“Everyone is enjoying the banquet, but what are you doing alone?”
As always, keeping an ice-cold expression, it’s like being in the army, ‘Why don’t you drink?’ Franklin speaks with the feeling of a superior asking.
To be honest, I didn’t like alcohol very much.
So, of course, as much as I can’t talk about quests here,
I’ve given you a decent excuse here.
“I was thinking about the next battle. Even though they were defeated, they are still many times more numerous than us. We can’t attack right away, but that doesn’t mean it will end like this, so we have to think about countermeasures.”
“… is it. Indeed, even under these circumstances, you are always enthusiastic. That attitude is admirable.”
Franklin speaks in a tone that doesn’t know whether it’s calm admiration or cold sarcasm at my words.
Then she sat next to me and spoke in a cold voice.
“Then let’s talk about it, what do you think the enemies will do in the future?”
Franklin asked a question that seemed to ask him to talk about how great he was thinking.
Regarding this, I spoke carefully, feeling relieved that I had thought about it while working on the quest.
“First of all, they probably won’t attack alone. Siege engines were destroyed, supplies were scarce, and morale was drained. Crucially, since even our size is unclear, it is certain that we will wait until volunteers arrive.”
“As a volunteer… You mean the enemies you talked about before?”
“That’s right. A large army of 8000 led by Burgoyne, one of the three commanders of the Imperial Army, they will arrive here within the next two weeks. Until then, they’ll probably try to avoid an all-out war as much as possible, replenishing supplies by plundering nearby villages.”
“8000… As there are about 7,000 reinforcements from our side who will arrive soon, they are roughly similar in size. However, considering the quality of the troops, we will still be at a disadvantage.”
“That’s right. In the end, there is only one means to overturn that inferiority: somehow attracting as many militiamen as possible. If the quality is poor, the quantity will overwhelm them.”
“The way… Is there?”
General Franklin carefully questioned my words, to which I spoke cautiously with a quiet smile.
“I can’t tell you anything yet… If we see any signs sooner or later, we will let you know.”
“… Got it. If not, don’t wait.”
From the standpoint of knowing what’s to come, I finished the story with a careful rhyme for now,
To this, Franklin nodded slowly as if he understood.
“Then, let’s talk about this, how about you stop going in and have a drink?”
“it’s okay. I still have a few more things to think about… ”
Work was also work, but to be honest, I didn’t like alcohol very much.
Even when I was in school and in the army, I suffered quite a bit because of this. I wanted to avoid alcohol as much as possible because it didn’t suit my taste from the beginning.
For that reason, I carefully tried to express my intention to refuse, but…
“However, I think it would be good to rest when you can. Fatigue should not accumulate and harm your health. Especially important talent like you.”
The general’s powerful words made me intuitively feel that there was no escape hole.
‘Sigh… can’t help it… What… No matter what you do, it’s still an army here… ‘
No matter what, she is still my boss.
Apart from my mood, I had to follow orders as much as possible, and there was also a need to please them to some extent for a while.
“… Thank you for saying that, General.”
“great. Then follow me.”
Franklin nodded my head and turned around.
Then, she turned around slightly and spoke in a voice that sounded a bit awkward.
“Oh that… And. Now that it’s like this, why don’t you have a drink with me where no one else is? mind… It just so happened that I wanted to try the drink you poured out.”
“Yes?”
“me… I don’t like fuss either! But doesn’t it sound like a spirit to tilt a glass alone at a time like this? Anyway, that’s what happened, so follow me! this… This is an order.”
General Franklin, who really spins the story to come quietly and pour yourself a drink.
As a result, I had no choice but to accept it for now, even though I felt that it reminded me of the face of my superior who forcibly drank alcohol that I hated during my military days.
“Um… Yes. Got it… It is.”
“yes! Because I have a special wine that I have been saving. Let’s get drunk together for the first time in a while.”
As if he liked my answer, General Franklin showed a slightly twisted smile on his lips.
Seeing her like this, I started to smile bitterly inwardly.
‘what… Even so, wouldn’t this person become a heroine? You still don’t seem to think very well of me… More than anything, just looking at this picture makes me feel like the squad leader forcing me to drink.’
Of course, there was a big difference in that the target was General Franklin, who had a beautiful appearance, rather than a middle-aged uncle, a squad leader, but somehow, I couldn’t get rid of that unique image from her appearance, which gave off the scent of a soldier.
Like that, I started heading towards the command room, following her who seemed to be walking a bit too fast.
*
Cromwell accepted a drink with himself.
Feeling uncontrollable joy at the fact, Franklin really forced himself to keep the corners of his mouth moving.
‘I accepted… Captain Cromwell invited me to drink… Whoops… .’
To be honest, because I was so nervous, I had a sense of gibberish to the point that I didn’t even know what I was talking about.
Fortunately, she was genuinely happy that she had managed to get the point across.
‘That… So now, as we saw in the book, we just have to get Captain Cromwell drunk with a lot of alcohol, right? After that, I lifted the swaying captain, put him on the bed, and with that momentum, I did this and that on the bed to paint… ‘
Feeling his mouth watering just at the thought of it, Franklin began to fill his head with thoughts of wanting to be held in the arms of this wonderful man as soon as possible.
