Wasn't his marriage to the princess a public knowledge? Why are they ignoring that as if it wouldn't matter when reporting all this to the king?

 

[sat129]

I feel like I'm missing something, why would the borrowed soldiers go along with this plan?

They explain the plan like 3 times and it still makes no sense haha

 

[phil777]

Ah, more idiot nobles for the chopping block.

 

[Sp12er]

Why's there no mention of him being a barrier master mentioned in any of this? Is his ability not known or something?

im not even sure if the soldiers are gonna fight. Sounds like these nobles are just fully planning to assassinate mc and want the soldiers there as proof that they came to hunt down bandits

They don’t seem great at info gathering As only 1 of them even knew that their neighbors territory was prosperous and rich. and even if it is known, very few people actually know how broken he is

MC singlehandedly destroyed a kingdom, is a renown barrier master, is a kingmaker that solved the succession crisis and prevented a civil war and is married to the king's sister... how do these morons think this will work? how do they think all these soldiers who have no loyalty to them will follow their orders and not reveal what they did?

Chances are, they're not. Their actual boss is pretty sure they 3 idiots are up to something and the "three days" conditions looks to me like the commander wants to gain proof and mustered his own trustworthy soldiers for it, besides warning the lord and king in advance.

It's the word of some soldiers against that of the nobles. A commoner in a feudal setting knows better than to challenge the words of a noble and subsequently gain the ire of a person who can destroy him and his family on a whim.(besides they have already cut off some random commoner's heads for those nobles ...did you think the nobles did it themselves?)

And as for the number of heads, what exactly do you expect to happen in case that there were actual bandits? Bring back fifty heads? No, they would only bring the heads of the supposed ringleaders.

Yes and no. If the commoner is trustworthy because of X, the noble in charge (the commander) can lend his own position's weight to the testimony. I feel that's why he stalled for three days, to gather his own agents for this. The heads should have been gathered by anyone on the nobles' payroll, not the soldiers. Using the soldiers for that is risky because they can and would tattle to the commander, their actual superior, for that.

Let's just say I think those three morons are up for a nasty surprise.

 

[Antinomy]

Hope the next chapter shows the retard's heads rolling.

 

[Hoezell]

The three stooges will not live long, huh

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you for the chapter!

 

[RaionT]

sigh I really hoped to see some development in regards of Eryl. Like seeing her more often, maybe finding a way to save her soul or reincarnate her. I'm disappointed

 

[Atrizk]

The Three Stooges

 

[vodspod]

I wonder if they will treat the soldiers like mindless puppets. There are a lot of stories where the soldiers have no mind of their own and act like npcs from age of empires.

Wish someone who read the novel would give some spoilers....

That's not really how it works though. And you can see that in the next chapter.

Spoiler: Spoiler

One of the commoner officers does attempt to dissuade the nobles from making a very bad call, and when he is more or less shot down immediately he proceeds to follow the noble's orders against his better judgement.
Later on the same chapter the same commoner officer shows that he already knew that the three nobles were lying about the bandits and that the whole operation was due to the noble's greed , and yet he went along with the plan because the nobles gave the order.

As for the heads, the noble that mentioned the said "I just grabbed them from the slums of the capital" that hardly shows any forethought on his end, let alone a three day delay.
