Daejeon Battle (2)

by agreement of both sides.

The battle of Daejeonsa was decided.

Lawrence opened the gates and came out, and Barco and Lawrence's forces faced each other in a wide plain.

The situation was achieved within a week of sending the messenger.

The judge, who had come down from the capital, spoke with a deep voice with the attention focused on him.

"My name is Count Ertes. From now on, the battle between the Barco and the Lawrence families will be held, and the two families will designate three swordsmen to represent the family in 30 minutes and submit the lineup. The Battle of Daejeonsa is a sacred place blessed by Valhalla. Whatever the outcome, both families must obey the outcome, and if there is a family that violates him, they will be judged on the honor of the Kingdom of Cairo."

Count Ertes.

Dressed in a neat robe that did not match the dust of the plain, he was sent by the central government for this confrontation.

In the battle of Daejeonsa, the authority of the person in charge of the place is very important.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides reached an agreement, the central government was informed of this fact, and Count Ertes took his own steps.

good.

Count Ertes sat down at the table prepared in advance.

The servants made shade for him, and he sip wine with a relaxed face as he waited.

both sides.

Barco and Lawrence were busy moving.

It was to write a draw, but Roman, who was watching Barco's movements, said suddenly.

"I think we need to change the lineup."

"What do you mean?"

Viscount Lawrence asked in a questionable manner.

A week ago.

The battle of the Daejeon Warriors was decided, and Lawrence had set a match schedule in advance.

The plan was to finish the battle with Roman taking the lead and securing 1 win, Lawrence's knight in the second, and Chris at the end.

However, Barco's movements were unusual.

Although it is said that the distance from the capital to Lawrence is far, it took a week for Count Ertes to arrive in an era when magic culture such as the teleport circle was developed.

It was strange.

As time goes on, Barco will be under pressure from interest, but they didn't look impatient in the slightest.

"It seems that the Barco family deliberately delayed the time. For them, it would have taken time to invite an outside expert. The network of the central government has the power to make that possible, and the fact that the confrontation took place a week later can be interpreted as meaning that they are fully prepared."

"Then, an outside expert might come out as the vanguard of the enemies."

"Not really."

Roman's gaze turned to Barco's camp.

Unlike the bustling Lawrence, they seemed to have already made a decision.

"Barco has no intention of sending out an outside master as a spearhead. Had that been the case, they would have taken action to entice us to send out the strongest swordsman in the vanguard. That's the best strategy they can choose, and if that's the case, then we need to line up for the best of our enemies."

"So what is the solution?"

"Chris will secure one win at the vanguard, and I will take my second turn against the card Barco prepared."

" !"

Everyone looked surprised.

The secret weapon Barco prepared.

Obviously he wouldn't be an easy match, but Roman said he would take the risk as if nothing had happened.

I didn't understand.

Why are you even doing this?

Lawrence is male.

Roman risked his life for other people's affairs.

Unlike Flora, for those who did not know Roman's inner feelings, they could not help but be moved by Roman's decision.

Viscount Lawrence said.

"I will never forget this grace of mine. If the Lawrence family wins the Battle of the Great War and overcomes the crisis of extinction, Roman Dmitry will be treated as a distinguished guest for the rest of his life as Lawrence's benefactor.

Flora.

Except for her.

Everyone showed respect for Roman.

* * *

The time has come.

Barco did not procrastinate, and revealed the appearance of a prosecutor who would immediately take the lead.

"I am Jansson of Barco."

Jansson.

People roared at the name.

Jansson was a three-star swordsman that Barco was proud of, and he was one of the most talented in the northeast area.

On the contrary.

Lawrence's representative was humble.

"I am Lawrence's Chris."

Kris.

He walked away with a sullen face.

The people present recognized Chris' face.

He is a disciple of Jonathan, who is said to be stronger than Jansson, and as a handsome swordsman, he is the greatest genius in the northeast region.

The problem was that the battle of Daejeon was not a place to compete for future possibilities.

Although Chris may have the upper hand in terms of young age and talent, it was a match between 3 stars and 2 stars when compared to the current level.

Aura difference.

It was an area that could not be narrowed down with only swordsmanship skills.

For those who live in the realm of common sense, Chris thought it would be difficult to win this battle.

"Why did you let Chris go?"

"Only talent will die."

"This is something Dmitry is going to lament. Dmitry's talent will die in Lawrence's fight.

people's reactions.

Chris heard it too.

He knew he was at a disadvantage, but he didn't need much thought to make a decision.

The reason was simple.

'The master told me. I can win enough.'

Roman's words.

That was the reason for the decision.

Among the rankers, there are high rankers who ignore the difference in auras and rank higher, but it is called an exception because it is a very special thing.

beyond common sense.

Roman said that Chris could defeat the three-star swordsman by going beyond common sense, so Chris accepted the situation in front of him without thinking.

The day I fought with Kevin.

With Roman's teaching, which turned an insignificant child into a fighting dog, Chris gained blind trust.

believed

Roman is absolute.

Even if he died on the spot, Chris would not regret his choice.

"To be strong, you have to take risks. That's why I left the well and followed the master.'

I met Jansson.

Barco's master, whom I heard countless rumors about.

It looked strong.

So, Chris smiled.

If you defeat Jansson, it means that your choice is right.

The moment the signal drops.

start!

tap.

No matter who came first, Jansson and Chris ran towards each other.

Public opinion was not false.

Jansson was quick.

An aura exploded from his sword, and he swung the sword strong enough to kill Chris at once.

Sure!

Intermittent difference.

Chris dodged the attack.

He tried to attack Jansson's loophole by momentarily stepping on the side step, but Jansson did not retrieve his sword and continued to attack with the attacking posture.

my eyes flashed

The blazing aura made his mouth dry, and he knew that he would die the moment he was attacked even once.

Chris quickly stepped back.

Rather than giving and receiving a proper workshop, he focused on evading the enemy's attack.

"You bastard! How long are you going to run away?"

Jansson growled.

He tried to induce a head-on confrontation by scratching his opponent's heart, but Chris did not lose his composure until the end.

3-star and 2-star aura.

The confrontation was suicide.

self-esteem is gone.

Even if the appearance of running away was ferocious, he avoided the opponent's attack as efficiently as possible.

'When I first fought with the master. The master at that time defeated me without using the aura. On the day of humiliating defeat in front of everyone, I learned one thing. No matter how powerful the aura is, the attack must be successful to be meaningful. It's no different now.'

avoided

avoid and dodge again.

As Jansson said, avoiding the opponent's attack like a mouse, Chris stabbed his sword whenever he saw a gap.

hook!

one flash.

Blood splattered on Jansson's face.

It was only slightly scratched, but the fact that he had been attacked first made his face horribly contorted.

"This kid."

Quiet rumble.

Aura explosion.

A three-star aura swelled strongly.

From then on, it was not a problem that could be solved by avoiding it.

A sword infested with an aura split the space, and an area wider than the sword's volume was swept away by the aftermath of the aura.

3 star aura.

class was different.

At the attack sweeping through the space, Chris took a deep breath.

Quang!

"Cool."

vomited blood

Even though I defended it by brushing it slightly, it felt like the inside had been completely twisted.

It was a commonsense result.

The reason people value the gender distinction highly is that even if you play 99 well, you can lose in just one shot.

Chris staggers slightly.

Jansson pushed forward, thinking that he had gained momentum.

The steps were not quick due to the internal shock, and it was only a matter of time for Jansson's sword to blow his throat away.

'Damn it.'

Kris.

He was different from Roman.

Roman possessed the monster-like ability to overwhelm opponents in the same situation as himself, but Chris was still a human being who had not escaped from the world of common sense.

My stomach was upset.

I thought that maybe it was a bird whose leg was torn while following the stork, but I didn't want to die like this.

messed it up

yet.

He hadn't learned anything from Roman.

Allies of the Knights of Dmitry laughed at the choice to follow Roman.

I ignored the gaze of my colleagues who criticized it as a really stupid choice and followed Roman, but I couldn't have died in vain.

Isn't it sloppy?

If he died like this, Chris wouldn't be able to see the faces of his comrades even when he died.

'Let's go beyond the common sense of the world.'

said Roman.

Why are you using your aura like that?

His common sense was broken by the point that it was very inefficient, but he was not yet out of that category.

I had no choice but to do so.

Even his mentor, Jonathan.

Furthermore, even Emperor Alessandro, known as the first aura swordsman, trained in the same way as himself.

It took courage to go beyond common sense.

And now.

Chris, facing Jansson's aura, thought of Roman.

'The indiscriminate burst of mana can't reach 100% of the power of the aura. Just as the master showed tremendous power with a single mana in the process of destroying the flare, let me concentrate the power of the aura on one point.'

gulp.

swallowed dry saliva.

the crossroads of life.

In front of me, I could see Jansson running towards me like a deokdal.

die!

he swung his sword

The action was great.

There was a strong conviction that Chris, who believed in his own strength, would not face him head-on.

Chris raised his mana.

It's not about bursting out like everyone else.

As I learned while watching Roman, I condensed the aura by collecting as much mana as possible.

evil.

Aura manifestation.

The size of the aura was small.

Jansson smirked and was sure of his victory.

By the way.

Kaang!

" ?!"

clash of two swords.

Chris' aura was not broken.

While burning precariously, it withstood the opponent's attack, which was a variable that Jansson did not expect.

That moment.

flash.

Scratch!

Mana exploded.

At Chris's fast attack, which is his main specialty, the sword flashed and blew off Jansson's head as it was.

poof.

Blood splattered in the sky.

On Jansson's floating head, the eyes of those who looked at it were dyed in shock.

first fight.

The winner was Chris.

tuk.

Degururu.

Jansson's head rolled on the ground.

Those who looked at it could not believe the reality in front of them.

'You crazy.'

'A sword of 3 stars was defeated by a swordsman of 2 stars?'

'Nonsense!'

out of common sense.

It was a shocking result.

Chris wiped the blood off his sword with a pale face, and just then Lawrence's soldiers cheered.

"Woah ah ah ah ah!"

"Crazy!"

Kris! Kris!

Kris! Kris!

It was really uproar.

It was odd.

In the spearhead match that Barco expected to win, Chris proudly won one win.

now.

You only need to win one more time.

At the thought of putting Barco in a corner, Lawrence's soldiers' faces burned as if they had already won.

in such a situation.

Viscount Barco was perplexed.

' Jansson loses. With this, the winning strategy I was thinking of was messed up. If Jansson had won, I was going to finish the match in the second match, but now the third match is more important.'

absurdly.

He didn't worry about winning or losing the second match.

It was natural.

If you couldn't completely trust the card of the victory, you wouldn't have spent a lot of money to bring him to this position.

That was then.

One person took a step.

As if nothing happened to Jansson's defeat.

Appearing in front of people, he put his hand on his bare sword on his waist and revealed his name with a smile.

"My name is Homer of Barco."

Homer.

in that name.

Lawrence's soldiers, who had just been celebrating their victory, fell into shock and horror.

"Hey, Homer?"

Ugh.

"Why is Homer here?!"
