Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

When we arrived in Vayne City, I couldn’t help knitting my brows.

It wasn’t because the situation around Vayne City was bad…but rather because the situation around Vayne City looked very good.

There were few signs of fighting in the area around Vayne City, almost as if there were nothing more than skirmishes.

At the same time, it didn’t seem like there were any traces of the enemy around Vayne City.

But when I looked at the city from a distance, I could see the gates firmly closed and the walls filled with guards.

It seemed that they really had no intention of coming out to fight the enemies…

I could see that General Killock beside me had an ugly look on his face and he was clenching his fists, as if he wanted to charge into the city after seeing this. But of course, I couldn’t let him do anything like that.

So I just raised my hand to stop him before saying, ”We’re here on the orders of the king and the fourth prince, do not do anything to bring shame to the two of them.”

General Killock gritted his teeth when he heard this, but he still gave a nod of understanding in the end.

After all, he knew what I was implying.

We had the upper hand in terms of position since we had our orders, so we shouldn’t resort to the same tactics as these petty nobles.

But I could also see that there were many soldiers that were angered by the scene in front of us.

It seemed that those that followed the fourth prince were all similar minded.

I had seen how much the fourth prince cared about this kingdom with how he kept asking me where my loyalties were. It seemed that the soldiers of the army under the fourth prince were the same, they all cared about this kingdom.

So when they saw someone that was supposed to be in a high ranking position in the kingdom acting this way, they were naturally angered by this.

With a sigh, I gave the order for Cecilia to lead some officers to calm them down.

Cecilia had been following me the entire time, but she had been playing a more passive role since she was an outsider in this army. It was only after I had established my fame among the soldiers with the slaughter of the Rising Land Plains that they started to accept her.

She was given a commander position among the army and could be considered well respected.

Of course it helped that she was a beautiful woman, but the army already knew that she was mine, so they didn’t dare do anything.

As we approached the city, I had the soldiers set up camp while I gathered a few people with me.

These were the ones that would be heading into the city with me.

Since we had an army of fifty thousand, it wasn’t as if we could bring everyone in.

The only thing that I could do was bring the high ranking officers with me, as well as some strong fighters. After all, there was no knowing what would happen in the city…

Among those that came were General Killock, Cecilia, and Shaka. The rest were officers that General Killock had chosen for me.

As well, there seemed to be someone that was hiding in the shadows.

Before we approached the city, I stopped everyone and said, ”When we go in later, let’s divide our roles properly.”

I slowly laid out my plan for everyone, but there were a few that opposed this.

Still, I was able to calm them down and make them accept the plan in the end.

Though it was clear that they weren’t happy about this.

When we came up to the gate, I shouted at the soldiers that were above, ”I am Count Zwein, the general of the fourth prince’s army. I have come with orders from the capital for Duke Yuletide and request entry to the city.”

”Skreech.”

The gate in front of me suddenly started to move upwards, as if it was about to open.

When we saw this, we couldn’t help being surprised.

After all, I had already figured that it would be impossible for us to enter Vayne City right away.

I had expected them to stall for a bit by saying that they needed to report to the duke and then keep stalling to buy time to discuss what to do with us. But that didn’t seem to be the case as they immediately opened the gates for us.

What was happening?

After the gates were opened, there was a group of soldiers that came forward.

The one that wore the different set of armour that looked to be their leader came forward to me to give a bow before saying, ”Count Zwein, we have already received the letter from the capital and have been waiting for you. Please come with me, the duke is already waiting for you.”

All of us couldn’t help looking at this guard with a surprised look.

To be honest, not a single one of us had expected Duke Yuletide to act in this manner.

There was even a part of us that felt like this was some kind of trap…

But it didn’t seem to be the case since all of the soldiers were looking at us with respectful looks.

It was possible to send one group of people to try and fool us, but for everyone to act this way…it was clear that all of them knew about this.

It was impossible to set all of this up in the short period of time that they had.

So it seemed like they were telling the truth.

But if they were telling the truth, what was the duke planning?

Seeing that we didn’t move, the leader of the soldiers asked, ”Count Zwein, is something the matter?”

I snapped out of my daze when I heard this and quickly shook my head to say, ”No, it’s nothing. Lead the way.”

The leader of the soldiers just simply said with a nod, ”Alright, please follow me.”
