I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 82 - Great Victory (5/13)

“No, no, I’m not worried about that. The main thing is, you need a stronger unit. That unit is composed of peasants and citizens and hasn’t received much training...”

“In that case... alright,” Martin heard this and nodded. “Then I will humbly accept. Thank you for your promotion and guidance, General. I will definitely work twice as hard from now on.”

“Good, that’s more like it,” Garibaldi said this, and then pulled his adjutant over from the side again.

“I heard you two had an argument earlier today? Come, you are both colleagues from now on. In these trying times, you should cooperate fully and put aside your differences.”

“Master Sergeant Martin, I apologize. This afternoon, due to my mistake, I almost harmed you. I apologize. No amount of compensation you demand would be too much,” the adjutant said this, lowering his head and reaching out his hand to Martin with extreme humility, as if begging for his forgiveness.

“Mm.” Martin heard this and also nodded. Then he extended his hand and shook hands with the adjutant.

“This way, you two are now reconciled, and our army will have greater cohesion,” Garibaldi said this, laughing loudly.

Martin also showed a hint of a smile. The food on the table before him also became less unappetizing.

“Alright, let’s raise a glass together!” Garibaldi returned to his seat at the table, took out his wine glass, and held it up.

“Cheers!” Everyone filled their wine glasses to the brim, then held them up and clashed them together.

After eating and drinking to his fill, Martin walked out of the military tent.

He was still a little drunk. In the cold wind and snow, he sobered up a little, but he was still a bit hazy.

On the other side, inside the military tent, after seeing Martin finally walk out, Garibaldi quietly spat.

“Pah! If it weren’t for his father being a noble, how would he be getting promoted?” Then, he looked at the adjutant beside him.

“Adjutant, I’m sorry you had to suffer. You put on such a performance with me, and you were even wronged, having to humble yourself before that idiot.”

“It’s alright, it’s alright. As long as I can help the General, that’s all that matters.”

“Mm,” Garibaldi nodded with satisfaction. “Next, it’s time to interrogate that group of people, right?”

“Indeed. There must be a reason why they were able to retreat from the front line unscathed. It’s possible they have colluded with the enemy, or that there are enemy spies mixed in. In any case, we must investigate thoroughly.”

“Then, Adjutant, who do you suggest we start investigating?”

“That... that one named Waltz. I see him as very suspicious. This afternoon, he not only cursed at me, but also included the General. He shows no respect for us. He must be an enemy spy sent here.”

“What!? How dare he curse at me?!” Garibaldi’s temper immediately flared up when he heard the adjutant say this.

“Capture him first, and imprison him in the stockade. At this moment, absolutely no enemy spies are allowed to infiltrate the army. As for that unit, quickly set up a separate camp for them. Don’t let them mix with other units. If necessary, eliminate them all. There’s no use keeping a thousand mouths to feed anyway.”

“As you command!”

...

In the past few days, Martin’s life had been smooth sailing. After his promotion, although he no longer had his former companions, his subordinates, from soldiers to officers, all showed him great respect. They knew that he had earned real military merit on the front line, and those were the kind of people the army admired the most.

However, after losing his friends, Martin always felt that something was not quite right.

Every area of the camp was interconnected. Although he had just been promoted and had been busy with his own affairs these past few days, he had never seen his friends come to visit him here.

Could it be that the new officer in charge of managing them was actually very strict and kept them training constantly, which is why they didn’t have time to visit him?

But Martin was indeed missing Waltz and the others a bit. Since he had finished his work for the day, Martin walked towards the camp where he had previously commanded his unit.

He had chosen the location of this camp himself, so he naturally knew where it was.

However, his current unit’s camp, whether by coincidence or not, was located diagonally opposite his former camp from the main camp, which was the furthest distance.

It had been two hours by the time Martin reached the outskirts of the camp. At this moment, he realized that the camp had been reinforced with a large wall at some point, and there were quite a few soldiers guarding every corner of the wall.

Had something happened here?

Thinking this, Martin quickly approached the entrance of the camp.

As expected, the guards at the entrance had been replaced. Upon seeing Martin approach, they quickly came forward.

“Apologies, Officer. This is now a military restricted area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter.”

“What military restricted area? Wasn’t this just a peasant army’s barracks before? Why has it suddenly become like this now?” Martin looked at the other party and asked in confusion.

“Apologies, we don’t know either. When we were transferred here to guard, this place had already been turned into this. As for the peasant army you mentioned, we don’t know. We heard that this place is now being used for special training. As for what the content is, we don’t know either.”

“...I see. Then where were the previous peasant army moved to? Do you have any information?”

“Apologies...” The soldier showed an apologetic expression.

“Alright,” Martin heard this and nodded. “By the way, can I really not go in?”

“Mm. This area is being guarded under the direct orders of General Garibaldi. The secrecy level is very high. Only with the permission of the General’s adjutant and the General himself can one enter.”

Upon hearing this, Martin began to feel something was wrong. After thanking the unit, Martin quickly hurried towards the main military tent.
