Chapter 46 Battle of the Great Warriors (1)
The atmosphere has turned chilly.
Great Warrior Battle.
The three swordsmen representing the family compete against each other, and the one who wins twice takes all the glory.
At first glance, you may think it is a very reasonable choice that can minimize damage.
However, those who knew the truth of the battle of Daejeonsa could not hastily entrust the fate of the family.
Lawrence’s vassal said.
“Battle of Great Warriors. great. As long as we are certain that we will win, there is no simpler way than that. The problem is, you need to be skilled enough to secure at least two victories out of three encounters. Opponent is Barco. Having connections to the central government and borrowing a large sum of money from the Golden Bank, they may have invited some masters based on their personal connections and wealth. It means that a great warrior is, after all, a battle of personal connections, and there is a corner that clearly believes in their intention to lead the situation into a great warrior battle in the beginning.”
There is no law that requires a family member to step up in the battle of Daejeonsa.
Lawrence had no choice but to worry about such a variable, as there are many cases where external masters are usually invited.
in the first place.
The power gap between the families was also severe.
Like Dmitri, Barko has one 3-star knight, but Lawrence only has one 2-star knight. How can you accept the battle of the great warrior when it does not become a game from the revealed power?
and.
“Thanks to your help, Roman, Barco’s siege engine was destroyed. As Barko, we’re going to have a hard time capturing Lawrence’s walls, and the longer we wait, the better the situation will be in our favor. It’s a matter of time. Even if it is difficult and difficult, Lawrence can survive if he chooses a fortress, but it is impossible to predict how the situation will turn the moment he opens the gate and accepts the battle of the Great Warrior. Great warrior battle is a disaster. If Barco wins the battle and wants Lawrence’s land as a reward, we must say nothing and hand it over.”
The other vassals also nodded.
What they were worried about was the variable.
I finally occupied the high ground, but I didn’t want to ruin the situation by accepting the battle of the great warrior.
understood.
Lawrence’s judgment was within common sense.
That’s why they are herbivores, and even though they have fertile land, they have never lived as predators.
Roman said.
“I know what you mean. But like I just said, there’s nothing better than a great warrior battle if you’re sure we’ll win. From now on, I will give you that assurance.”
3 fights.
3 wins and losses.
It is a fight that emphasizes the existence of three people, but in the end of the battle of the great warriors, the two talented people decide everything.
“Barco and Lawrence. Think of the number of choices you and your opponent have. Barco must be thinking of a 3-star swordsman and an outside master as winning cards. Barco, who spends a lot of money renting flares, can’t afford to fully prepare all three. Then, on the other hand, who is the number of cases we can choose from?”
people’s heads.
Only one person came to mind.
It was Roman Dmitry.
“I will be the first runner to represent Lawrence. Whether the opponent is a knight of Barco or an outside master. I am confident that I will definitely secure a win. If so, the opponent will be on fire and have no choice but to send a strong player to the second confrontation. The battle of the great warrior is an eye-witness fight. No matter how great a player you have, it is meaningless if you win number 1 and lose number 2. third confrontation. My man, Chris, will finish. Even if the opponent sends a 3-star aura sword at the end, Chris is strong enough to bring victory.”
Roman’s words.
It made sense.
It wasn’t a perfect operation, though.
If Roman loses to an unknown talent, the match will end on the spot.
“Do you think I will lose?”
in Roman’s words.
no one objected
Attacking Barco’s rear and cutting off Berge’s head showed an overwhelming presence.
will win
It was as certain as Roman’s ability.
“Then we have secured a win. Isn’t this a pretty good fight? If we think about the number of cases and match the brackets appropriately, we can restore Lawrence’s fallen honor by winning the Great Warrior Battle. I won’t convince you anymore. This is all I can help you with, so make a decision from now on.”
That moment.
People’s eyes turned to one person.
Flora.
Her right to speak in the conference room was strengthened by the incident.
Roman was a talker.
He always logically and rationally grasped the situation, boldly pointed out the reality, and drew the consent of the other party.
It was the same even now.
Seeing Lawrence’s vassals fall into silence, Flora suddenly recalled a conversation they had in Magic Communications.
[Simple. Please sacrifice for the plan. If the Lawrence family expresses their intention to shed blood first and lay the plate, I promise to do my best to help you in the name of Roman Dmitri. In order for our conversation to go smoothly, you must first promise that part.]
What I said then.
Roman wished for ‘Lawrence’s sacrifice’.
He wanted Lawrence to bleed and make plates for his own personal revenge.
It was no different now.
On the surface, he seems to be doing things for Lawrence, but this time, Roman forced Lawrence to sacrifice himself.
‘He’s a dangerous person.’
There was a loophole in Roman’s plan.
if.
If Barco hires enough masters to defeat Roman, or if all three of them invite masters from outside.
Lawrence’s must-have.
It was the worst of the number of cases, and at that time Lawrence had no way to solve the problem.
Of course, the odds of that happening are slim.
The fact that Barco didn’t use flares from the beginning means that the money was wasted a lot, and they were also squeezing their energy this time.
only 2 people.
It is Barco’s best to prepare two victorious cards.
In fact, if that was true, as Roman said, it was possible to defeat Barco without much damage through a proper matchup.
the problem is.
‘Roman is whispering sweet words to us right now. A master like himself who defeated Berge will step up as a great warrior, so Lawrence should take care of any variables. how do i do this If we choose to sit-in, we will eventually survive even if it takes a long time, but it is clear that it will be a choice that will degrade Lawrence. Both the Barco and Lawrence families would be unhappy. But if I accept Roman’s offer and win, even if the damage is minimized, the glory of victory will go to Roman, not Lawrence.’
taste was bitter.
Roman was a fox.
Knowing that Lawrence was not in a situation where he could choose an option, he made it to his advantage.
under any circumstances.
To get the most benefit at the least sacrifice.
Roman didn’t bother to hide his dark side.
‘Rather, it’s ironic that you can trust it because you can see the black inside. Really, Roman Dmitri is a fucking guy.’
Thanks for helping out?
It was only for a moment.
Like Roman said.
It was a deal.
For Roman’s benefit, Lawrence’s benefit.
We were just negotiating with each other.
said Flora.
“I am in favor of the Great Warrior Battle. If there is a way to end the war quickly, I think we need to make a decision, even if it is a gamble.”
He averted Roman’s gaze.
Knowing his intentions and following them.
That was the only price Flora could give Roman.
* * *
That time.
The Barco family was in an uproar.
“Why is that son of a bitch Roman Dmitry showing up! For what reason are you interfering with our work! Aaaaagh!”
puck!
Kwak!
Viscount Barko, his face flushed with anger, smashed everything in the barracks.
overturn the desk
kick the chair
Despite revealing his inner violence for a while, Viscount Barco’s anger seldom subsided.
“Whoop whoop whoop.”
He let out a heavy breath.
Sitting on the chair and staring at the gray ceiling of the barracks, I could see the reality of Barco belatedly.
‘How the hell are you going to handle this situation? By destroying the flares, we have no way to end the war in a short time. The Berge Mercenary Corps lost their will to fight due to the death of their leader, and the risk is too great to rent flares again. The remaining money borrowed from the Golden Bank is to be prepared for emergencies. If the plan doesn’t work even after using it, then it’s really all over.’
It was dark.
Roman Dmitry.
It reminded me of the moment he cut Berge’s throat.
It was overwhelming.
At first, I thought it was a crude plan to see it approaching from a distance, but when Roman’s sword flashed, dozens of soldiers were slaughtered without even screaming.
And the appearance of Berge, who was running in awe.
Viscount Barko, who had hoped in vain, witnessed that an A-class mercenary recognized by the Cairo Kingdom was unable to last for even 10 seconds and fell out.
how.
Why did this happen?
In his own head, he could not comprehend Roman’s powerlessness.
‘There is only one way to reverse an unfavorable situation. The battle of Daejeonsa. But Lawrence must have no reason to accept the Great Warrior battle. There’s no reason to take a risky gamble when you’ve already secured a chance to win.’
My mouth was dry.
It felt like my head was blocked.
how to do it too.
I didn’t even know what to do.
It was then.
The barracks door fluttered and a soldier rushed in with an urgent expression.
“Lord! Lawrence has sent a messenger!”
Viscount Barco thought.
It’s on the edge of a precipice anyway.
Lawrence, who arrogantly sent a messenger in a cornered situation, said that he would cut off the messenger’s head and send it to him.
Usually, the unspoken rule is to spare the messenger, but Viscount Barco was blinded by his anger.
however.
My spirit flashed at the messenger’s words.
“Lawrence proposes a great warrior battle to Barco.”
Great Warrior Battle.
I almost burst out laughing in an instant.
Viscount Barco managed to suppress his laughter.
Until just now, I was thinking about how to induce a great warrior battle, but I didn’t know that I would come up with a proposal first.
‘Lawrence is digging my grave.’
opponent did not know.
Barco’s number.
Golden Bank lent more money than expected, and the last remaining money was reserved for the current situation.
If the. If Lawrence had chosen a sit-in without accepting the battle of the Great Warrior until the end, Viscount Barco would have thought of the money as a way to rent a flare once again.
however.
There was no need for that now.
The opponent bit the bait.
Roman’s existence didn’t worry.
The force shown by Roman was obviously overwhelming, but Viscount Barco’s plan was a strategy for sure victory beyond common sense.
so that.
He sent the messenger back, saying he would think about it for now, and immediately called his subordinates and gave them orders.
“Call ‘him’ right now! I’ll send you a down payment, so please come forward as our great warrior!”
My heart is at peace.
The end was in sight.
Confidently, the battle of Daejeonsa will be won within two confrontations.
