lose or win
‘By the way, you haven’t spoken for the past few days.’
After the previous battle, Elric thought of Sailor, who had not said much.
I thought that maybe what he was going to say from now on had something to do with the reason.
“Please let me know your opinion.”
“I’m not even going to say that I’m an expert, but… Maybe I narrowed the continent a while ago
Did you know that I was gasping while I was there?”
“Yes. That’s why I’ve heard of everyone called the Godfather.”
“Godfather… . My sister-in-law told me not to say such unfamiliar things. flaw.”
No matter how much I hear it, it feels like the boss of the dark district. Sailor laughed lightly as he added those words.
“Anyway, there are people I’ve met at that time.”
Elric’s eyes twinkled.
“Are you Borfur?”
“As expected, one eye is quick. right yes Not only the Borfur, I lived in the eastern mountains for almost five years.”
I remembered Sailor talking to the hostages held here.
“And right here… I met a kid who called me ‘Father.'”
Elric’s eyes widened.
Hermann was a bit surprised as it was the first time he had ever heard of it.
“Is that true?”
“Yes.”
“If you do, why haven’t you told me yet… !”
“Where would you have had the time to say something like that?”
“And the one who actually made your eyes that way… Batur is actually a guy I know.”
This time, Hermann’s expression hardened.
“Did you teach me the sword?”
“I don’t know if I should say I taught it. He was a man of great original talent. If I hadn’t touched him, he’d be a great man someday.”
“Still, I could have given you a shortcut. no wonder. He was familiar with swordsmanship without knowing where it was.”
Hermann touched the injured eye area with his hand. Isabelle’s sad gaze turned to her father.
But in the other eyes that calmly sank… Enthusiasm was blooming.
Isn’t he the one who got up again after overcoming the ordeal of getting a job?
Once again, Hermann thought that he had only met an ordeal that he would overcome.
From the moment he first met the huge wall called the Golden Lion, his gaze was always on a distant place.
I didn’t know that I would have been lucky to have met Batu.
If you can defeat him, it means that you are one step closer to the golden lion.
“It seems he hasn’t seen me before. In any case, it is impossible to say something like this in such a situation.”
But as a Sailor, it was only regrettable.
Hermann and Batu.
Because both of them were children and juniors whom he cherished like children.
But Hermann didn’t care at all.
Rather, enthusiasm was changed to war will, then to victory again.
“His name. what?”
“It’s Batura.”
“You already know that. What I’m asking is his real name.”
Barbarians often believe that names contain souls. Hermann knew that and asked.
“Batu Turpan. It means a man strong and tough like a bull.”
“Batu Turpan… . Good. I will remember that name clearly.”
A dark smile formed on Herman’s lips.
It was a lion’s laugh.
lion and bull. Two beings are about to collide.
“Maybe we can meet again.”
“no. It will be difficult for a while.”
“Well?”
When asked what that meant, Sailor’s gaze turned to Elric again.
“The boy who recognized me said it. Batu became the great chieftain of the Borfur tribe, and when this was done, he was going to head to the Empire immediately. It was said that our fight was like a ceremony to open war.”
It was only then that Elric could accurately understand the meaning of Sailor’s words.
“Now that such a big player is gone, are you saying you can rely on it enough without giving up completely?”
“If you mention an old relationship, I might be able to welcome you as a guest.”
“But we’ve been through a knife fight with them before. Is it possible?”
“We have to make it possible.”
“home… .”
“And there are some things that people don’t know. The composition of the mountain peoples, commonly called barbarians, is far more complex than we know. Just because they’re from Borfur doesn’t mean they all feel the same or feel a sense of belonging.”
“You are saying that even among them, the bloodline composition is complicated.”
“If Batu gets caught, it means that you don’t have to be obsessed with Batu. Even within the Borfur tribe, there are some who do not get along well with them, and there are other clans that do not enjoy fighting very much.”
As far as words have been said, it was as if they had already decided what they could do.
You can’t go back to the Empire right now. All roads were blocked, and the whole area was the domain of the Red Lion Army and the barbarians. There was a fear that he might get the attention of the enemies and destroy them.
If that was the case, I didn’t know that it might come out that he would go deeper into the enemy’s inner lining and hide himself.
Unknown (燈下不明). Originally, it was the darkest under the lamp.
Furthermore.
In fact, there were things that Elric had not told the others, but he had a corner to believe.
‘Neresta is still there.’
A family pact was signed between the Neresta and Mervinger.
If one side is in crisis, the other automatically has to help them.
Even if that’s not the case, as long as Sean and Augustine are there, they’ll try to save themselves somehow.
And when it comes to the Neresta family’s power… They will be more than enough to save them.
So, what Elric had to do was to first ensure the safety of the Star Wars, and then establish contact with the Neresta family.
“Then get on the doctor over there first.
Let’s get serious.”
“You’re trying to sacrifice us whole to the rebels.”
“Can’t we just keep looking at it like this?”
Earl of Caliger and Viscount Curranciville did not leave their firm impressions throughout their exit from the meeting hall.
As such, the only conversations they had were shocking.
Rely on the barbarians?
As a proud traditional aristocrat of the Empire, this was absolutely unheard of.
If they died on the battlefield, they would have died, and it was a shame to bow their heads to those who live a life that is no different than an animal, far away from the benefits of civilization.
For Elric, it was a decision he had made to save even one of the soldiers who risked his life.
In the first place, it was a decision that the two could never understand, with the belief that the lives of commoners existed only for the dignity and face of the nobility.
Rather, in their eyes, Elric thought he was in danger, so he was only seen as an opportunist who turned to the rebels.
Now, in their eyes, Elric was a rebel, and they were seen as loyal loyalists who wanted to kill such rebels.
But.
It’s just an excuse to plausibly surround it to the end.
In fact, the Earl of Caliger and the Viscount Curranciville, both of them, have not already spoken outwardly, but through this meeting, their sense of crisis and alertness toward Elric has been greatly increased.
The ability to control the crowd while lightly ignoring their opinions.
A humor that reminded me of Mervinger’s youthful days.
All of them hung around my neck as if I had swallowed a fish thorn.
At first, I was going to aim for Elric, but it seemed that the timing had to be pushed a little faster.
Earl of Caliger and Viscount Curranciville looked into each other’s eyes for a moment.
We didn’t talk much, but the exchange of words was enough.
Not long ago, though, they were enemies.
Because I never thought that I would understand the other person’s feelings so deeply. There was only a deep silence between the two of them, and then they were lost.
barbaric.
The mountain peoples of the eastern frontier, as the Empire calls them, were, in fact, very complex, consisting of numerous blood clans, clans, tribes and factions.
Even among the swings, the relationship between Eunwon and Eunwon is so complicated that political unity has never been achieved during thousands of years of history.
Even now, advancing to the mainland of the Empire holding hands with the Red Lion Army is nothing more than a loose political solidarity united under the common banner of ‘overthrowing the empire’.
There was a risk that the alliance would break down if there were any conflicts of interest.
But.
Even if that were the case, the Borfur never really worried about it.
“breakdown? Then what about it! Rather, it might be better! We won’t have to give our food and land to other tribes!”
“We don’t have a great warchief!”
“Great warrior from heaven, Batu!”
“Batu!”
“With the help of Batu, who will soon become a king and emperor, we can do anything!”
“Follow Batu!”
“Follow!”
The barbarians are divided into 12 major tribes.
However, such a concept of ‘tribe’ was built for convenience. The members could not be more tightly woven than the concept of clan and clan.
However.
The Borfurs were different.
Batura united as one under a prominent leader, breaking the distinction between kin and clan.
Origin and status were not taken into account. If he showed his abilities within the confines of that ‘tribe’, he was given the opportunity to stand next to Batu.
Therefore, unlike other tribes, the Borpurs were able to rapidly grow their power based on their outstanding unity and organizational power.
The people with the largest stake in this ‘Federation’ were the Borfurs.
military god.
Currently, Batu was called that way not only among his own people, but also among the mountain peoples.
“Stupid bastards.”
Batu was traveling to meet with the Red Lions’ proposal to discuss future plans.
It wasn’t the right person who made fun of him for being stupid.
Rather, he valued the enemy very highly.
The one who made tears of bloodshed for his people and people for a long time. The number of enemies that became an insurmountable barrier
But.
Rather, because of that, Batu felt a sense of identity with the enemy.
Those who wanted to stand tall were naturally envious and jealous of those around them.
The objects that Batu despise were those around him who threw such envy and jealousy.
The various chiefs of the 12 tribes.
All of them are old and ugly, and the rest are carnivores who are just trying to protect their vested interests.
Still, they are busy beating the calculator in their minds, wondering what kind of benefit they can get from this war.
What was a warrior?
When war breaks out, it refers to those who stand in front of anyone and wield a sword.
And the chieftain meant the head who led those warriors.
However, in Batu’s eyes, the other chieftains did not appear to be such warriors.
They were terrified that they might lose what they had to Batu by doing what they had, and they were busy with blatant vigilance.
Because of that, in a time when we were busy discussing future plans with our heads together, we were busy creaking with no income due to distrust and vigilance’.
‘It can’t be like this. I can’t go far like this.’
Right now, they have defeated the imperial army and are advancing to the mainland of the empire at a fast pace, but once that advance is blocked, it will be devastating.
As Batu, who had been taught by Sailor as a child, he was well aware of the great potential of the Empire.
Before long, their advance will be blocked.
It was an unavoidable procedure.
If so, what should we do to overcome the crisis wisely without getting frustrated at that time?
‘You have to turn it over, everything. Pests must be eradicated, and all parasites must be removed.’
Batu is already preparing for that.
were all finished.
The same goes for this meeting.
Other tribal chiefs are ecstatic, thinking that it is just a place to hold post-war negotiations.
In fact, something much bigger than that was hidden.
All coordination with the enemy has already been completed.
That’s why I was waiting for the ‘time’ while forcibly quenching the urge to pull out the knife at any moment.
“What? Sailor-sama was there?”
Batu hardened his face at the report posted by the lieutenant and turned his head toward it.
“Yes. Someone has witnessed Sarnai speaking with Sailor-sama.”
Sarnai.
She was Batu’s only brother, and friend, colleague, mother, and now companion.
