Obscure Op: Survive As Fallen Noble With Gunsmith Skill In Eroge World-Chapter 70 - 69 - General Keno Fortune Claim

BANGG!!

BANGG!!

BANGG!!

As the time passed, several bandits who disguised as royal knights were frantically running away.

Who knows what was going through their minds, their bad decisions to running away brought their instant death.

Melissa's pistol aim and shots are always on target, making me proud after teaching her how to shoot properly.

Without using a holo scope, unsuppressed, and only relying on the iron sight attached to the end of the pistol barrel, Melissa's accuracy in shooting targets is always on target.

I didn't remain silent either. My target at this moment was someone who was ensconced within a magic shield. Someone who appeared to hold a higher rank than just a Captain in the royal knights.

His face looked familiar to me, and he was glaring at me.

Do I recognize him?

Well, it's none of my business anymore after killing him.

Tap...

Tap...

While strolling towards someone who was being protected by one of the female witches who had joined the mess, I greeted him with a warm smile.

"It's been a horrible day, hasn't it?" I asked this stranger.

The man before me wore a military uniform that was very different from the royal knights around me. Instead of thick, heavily armored armor, this man wore military attire covered in strange military ornaments.

Perhaps it was a medal of honor he had earned during his military career.

But it was all in vain when this smoothly running coup was thwarted by my presence, who came with a Humvee and killing their bandit forces.

My face was still smiling and looking gently at him.

"So, what is this I'm looking at?" I asked Kitano Mina and Elaina, who came over to me after making sure the King was under protection magic.

The current situation is still gripped by the thick atmosphere of a coup. I can't relax in an open space like this and watch my surroundings.

Kitano Mina and Elaina were near me, staring intently at someone who was under a fragile shield of magic that showed cracks that were ready to break at any moment.

Even in my eyes, it could only barely withstand the fist attack that was flying towards it.

"Why are you doing this, General Keno?" Elaina asked, her eyes cast down, staring at a man she seemed to recognize all too well.

After the conflict with the female Knight Captain, is there now a failed rebellion conflict?

My ex-fiancé has a strange backstory, huh?

"Just following my heart, Princess Elaina."

When his life was on the line, the man who was called General Keno still had time to smile at Elaina.

Beside Elaina, the greatest witch in the future was staring at her own subordinates who were involved in the coup attempt scheme.

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this," Kitano Mina said as she looked at one of her subordinates who was badly injured, with a hole in her stomach and blood pooling under her stomach.

That wound...

Isn't that a pretty serious wound?

Kitano Mina's subordinate should have died, but she still managed to survive with a body full of holes.

If there were no strong will to live, she could have died after losing a large amount of blood.

"Ah, I see..."

"Adrenaline rush, huh?" I muttered after seeing this sad sight.

From a close distance, I could overhear a conversation between Elaina and General Keno, which was crucial to Elaina's future character development ss one of the heroines who would become close to the male protagonist in the future, this would determine her fate.

"Staging a coup d'etat before my eyes. Are you crazy, General Keno?"

"Cough! Cough! There's nothing crazy about this coup attempt, Princess Elaina."

"Y-You still have time to say that your actions are not crazy!"

"Yes, it's not that crazy if it concerns what happened to your father's policy of letting go of the perpetrator of the massacre of my noble family. Cough!" By holding back his cough mixed with blood, the General Keno, whom Elaina seemed to know well, just smiled and looked like someone who wanted to die peacefully.

"..." Elaina pursed her lips after hearing General Keno's words.

"All this just because of that, General Keno?"

"There's nothing else besides that, Princess Elaina."

Elaina grimaced and looked like she was about to get angry, then looked at me with a sharp glare.

"What should I do about this, Hans?" Elaina asked, looking at me.

"Hmm?" I, who was enjoying the events behind the scenes of the main story, was surprised to be asked such a question.

"Wasn't this your fault from the start?" I replied, not wanting to get involved in this complicated matter.

"..." Elaina was silent for a moment, as if not knowing what she would do next.

I let out a sigh and walked over to Elaina's side.

"From my perspective, this is a long-planned rebellion attempt. Which means the General's grudge against your father for a long time. The information we received regarding the number of bandits involved, it could be said to be comparable to the effort he took into killing your father," I said as I stood beside Elaina.

Elaina, who is hesitant in making a decision, is the background story of her, who will meeting the main male character in the future.

The political conflict that will occur in the future is one of the core stories of this world, besides the invasion of the Monsters that managed to penetrate the defensive wall built by Kitano Mina.

With this kind of heavy burden of choice and Elaina's age, which is still immature in making decisions, it will become a trauma for her in the future.

Failed rebellion attempt...

The figure of a General who is known and respected by herself... 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Her indecisive attitude in making decisions in the past...

That was the main point of Elaina's future trauma.

To avoid a complicated political situation, I'd be happy to guide Elaina to the right decision.

What she needs right now is advice and suggestions from someone who understands her current situation.

Caress...

Caress...

My hand immediately stroked Elaina's head and tried to calm her panicking heart.

Who wouldn't panic after seeing the General they respected suddenly become a traitor who would kill their own father?

If that someone didn't panic, then I would doubt his or her sanity.

Well, maybe I'll just act normal about this.

Caress...

Caress...

While stroking Elaina's hair, which was dirty with dust and blood splatters, I began to whisper about the possibilities of what would happen in the future if this rebellion were successful and the King was killed.

Furthermore, I also understand General Keno's storyline, where his noble family was murdered by the King's Assassins.

"You know yourself, how many bandits he has managed to gather so far..."

"If this rebellion is successful, there will be economic upheaval, and the chain of command of the royal knights will be led by military noble families."

"Besides your younger brother and older brother, your sisters will also be forced to make a decision based on the noble factions that support them. Leaving you with nothing that cannot be defended as a female knight, Elaina."

"The kingdom is slowly crumbling thanks to the King's death in a rebellion. Besides you being confused about your position, the people of the Kingdom of Belfast are also confused about who will be responsible for the rightful holder of power."

"Because at this time, the King, who is known to be fair and wise, has not yet appointed a Crown Prince or Crown Princess. I don't know the details because I'm having memory loss at the moment..."

"However... it would be quite dangerous if this rebellion were to succeed, wouldn't it?"

"Moreover, the severe punishment that awaits a rebel is the death penalty. As someone who is experiencing memory loss, I am sure of this death penalty will be held."

"Elaina... I firmly believe the right solution to this problem is to cover up the attempted rebellion with something more grand and luxurious."

"Let's just say... this respected General died protecting the King from a surprise attack by bandits at night. Such manipulation is easy to do. Isn't that right, O wise King?" I said, glancing at the King.

Instead of manipulating Elaina down the wrong path, I actually got her involved in a scandal of shame that should go down in the dark history of the Belfast Kingdom.

The figure of General Keno, who didn't have much of an impact on the story due to his death, has left a deep scar in the hearts of Elaina and General Keno himself. Making General Keno's death a nightmare for Elaina at night and driving her motivation as a rising heroine in acquiring the path to the crown as the Crown Princess. That story will take place in the future, and the figure responsible for it... in before my eyes.

I bowed my head and knelt before General Keno and one of his loyal witch. They both appeared to be seriously injured after get hit by a .50 BMG round from the GECAL 50 weapons system.

"By the way, I'm interested in your previous conversation..."

"If you're willing... can I hunt down the man who killed your noble family, General Keno?" I asked, watching General Keno's smile grow thinner.

"For payment... can I inherit your fortune?"

"I need gold coins to survive after becoming a fallen noble."

As a man who exploiting the situation, I appeared immoral, earned the knights and the King's disdainful glances. It was as if I was implying that the opponent I was about to face was unbeatable, especially on my own power.

"Cough! Cough! That's so funny..."

"The one you're hunting is capable of forcing the King to release himself from his imprisonment. And yet you say you want to hunt him down?" With his low remaining breath and near death, General Keno whispered to me the name of someone I knew well in this eroge world.

I just smiled after hearing the name of that rotten noble.

"Okay, I'll find a way to make him suffer first..."

"Die in peace, General Keno..."

"I'll make sure to kill him first before taking your inheritance..."

"And all of you have become witnesses to General Keno's promise and legacy that will fall into my hands."

By saying such things, I have taken away most of the trauma that Elaina will suffer in the future.

"Cough! That will make you a dangerous enemy in his eyes."

"I don't care about that, General Keno."

"Haha!! Cough! What a strange young man, but I like that optimism."

"Please... kill him..."

Those were General Keno's last words before dying peacefully with his followers.
