#43 Episode Preparation

Crazy people who cannot be judged by common sense from other continents.

Those were the warriors of Roverland.

Sometimes he is more cowardly than a defeated soldier, and sometimes he is braver than a legendary warrior.

There is only one standard for teaching that.

What a great gain is at hand.

These were the warriors of Roverland, those with the heart of a beast, capable of blowing the money they had earned in a year in a single night of gambling… … .

In every bar, warriors gathered and swung their arms.

The hot topic today was definitely the proposal Lansen made.

Rational warriors who loved tactics and strategy analyzed the situation.

“Okay, let’s do a realistic analysis.”

“Right. Let’s look at the worst and the best case scenario.”

“How many troops will the Storm King mobilize? How many troops will we have?”

“Roughly… … something like this?”

“agreement.”

“Then… … in this situation?”

“Worst case, 5% chance of winning! Best case, 20%! That’s my conclusion.”

“The worst is 5%?”

When the conclusion was reached, the warriors’ reaction was unanimous.

“Should I try X?”

If I win, it’s 300 dollars, but the odds are only 5%!

Of course you should!

Those were the kind of people they were. The warriors of Robertland.

On the other hand, there were warriors who focused on comparing the fighting power of Gale King Harun and Lancen.

“A warrior who has begun to shed the Sword Master’s status is very different from a normal Sword Master.”

“Really? Is the difference that big?”

“Don’t you know that? There, the ruler of Shamalun, the sea king Jafar, killed two sword masters in about ten attacks when he was young.”

“Huh? Only 10 or so?”

“Yes. That was 10 years ago. He must be stronger now. The one who drew with Jafar was the Gale King.”

A heavy silence fell over the table we sat at.

One warrior swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

“Can Count Lansen… … win?”

“There is a possibility… … of course. You saw it too, didn’t you? That ridiculous power. Even the Count has definitely surpassed the realm of the Sword Master.”

“Yes. Count Lansen is a genius. None of the five kings were as strong as he was at the age of 27.”

“So, so, if these two fight, who will win?”

Then, the two warriors who had been leading the analysis until then closed their eyes for a moment and fell into deep thought, then opened their eyes at the same time and said.

“13%! That’s the probability that Count Lansen will win.”

“19%! I think that’s a good chance!”

This time too, the warriors’ reaction was unanimous.

“Over 10%? Then shouldn’t I do it?!”

Then one rational warrior muttered:

“No… … . There’s a 90% chance of death if you’re not careful… … Why are you doing that?”

Heebundeok!

The surrounding warriors emitted light from their eyes.

“And what if the Count wins?”

“Can you live like that? Three hundred dollars flew away right before your eyes?”

“You will be treated as a coward your entire life.”

“Where do you go and talk so confidently! Ah, I thought the Count would lose back then and ran away… … That’s why I became a joke… … That’s what I said!”

“Just tear it off.”

The warrior who had made a rational decision had no choice but to blush and hang his head.

* * *

I cleared out Kashish as quickly as possible and returned to Kushan.

There was now no problem with the soldiers’ morale.

By the time we arrived in Kushan, the rumor had already spread throughout the area.

Not only the King of Storms’ ultimatum, but also the proposal I made in response to it.

The first thing Sea said when she greeted me was this.

“Good job, brother.”

It’s a simple statement, but I noticed many meanings contained in it.

So I just shrugged.

‘Well, that’s about it.’

“But, as for the reward that Oppa promised, I think everything else will work out somehow, but the numbers for the luxury and treasure-level ancient weapons don’t match up. There’s no telling when we’ll be able to excavate them.”

It was as expected.

Because it was considered a luxury item even by the standards of ancient times.

Treasure level was something that could only be seen by those who went to the Horizon Knights, who were said to be the strongest.

but,

“don’t worry.”

I played with the subspace necklace and put Sea’s worries to rest.

“I’ll take care of that.”

Sea stared at me intently, nodded once, and handed me the bundle of documents she was holding.

“As soon as he heard the news, Mr. Burson made a training plan. It was a plan that was made with a one-month grace period in mind, but he pushed the important training to the front so that it wouldn’t matter if it was stopped midway.”

So that it doesn’t matter if you stop along the way.

This is the point.

The Storm King said he would give you a month’s grace period, but you’d be an idiot to believe that.

Once you say something, you keep it.

Only the monarchs of Gloryland and Oldland consider such things as virtues. There is no such thing in Roberland.

Now that I have declared my resistance, it wouldn’t be strange if the Storm King invades tomorrow.

So, I returned to Kushan without using the Book of Destiny.

“It will still take at least two weeks. The King of the Winds will also need time to stabilize Kinalo. He will also need to replenish the troops that were lost.”

Sea said two weeks.

Since he’s a well-informed guy, his accuracy should be pretty good.

I nodded.

“Call all the key executives. Let’s start with a meeting.”

* * *

Sea gave a briefing based on the information she had worked hard to gather.

The total number of troops is 20,000 for the King of Storms, and 14,000 for our side.

It was a number that even scraped together the warriors of Kashish.

Nevertheless, our side is at a disadvantage.

I looked around at the four top experts gathered there.

Varen, Katrina, and Rivera, Calceric.

“In the end, we will win only if the four of you fight well in the battle.”

The tactic we chose was a showdown between the strongest warriors.

Our relatively small number of troops will hold out, and in the meantime, we will fight a great battle and defeat the enemy general.

More precisely,

I’m going to find the Storm King Harun and cut off his head.

Until then, everyone, win and persevere.

I said, flipping through the briefing papers.

“According to the information, four of the Seven Whirlwind Heroes were mobilized.”

Seven warriors led by King Harun the Storm.

The two sword masters and the five top-tier experts who boast the pinnacle of skill were combined to form the Gale Seven.

“The irresistible Balkan. He became the Sword Master two years ago. This is Katrina. You must stop him.”

“Okay! Leave it to me!”

Even though her opponent was a Sword Master, Katrina, who was a top-level Expert, showed no fear at all.

Yeah, Katrina. You can do it.

Palak turned over another piece of paper.

“Zahir of Baekseung. Everyone knows this old man, right?”

“That old man is mine.”

Baren spoke with venom in his eyes.

“Okay. Don’t get hit this time.”

Baren gritted his teeth without answering.

I believe. Even among my younger siblings, you are one of the most talented, and I believe you can even defeat the undefeated general Zahir.

I read the following list:

“Jedak, the matchmaker. Rivera will deal with this guy.”

“Yes! I will come back with the neck.”

Rivera was cool as always.

“The last is the guardian Brida. She is a warrior also known as the lover of the Storm King.”

“That’s my cup of tea. I won’t lose to someone so young.”

Calceric smiled with a bushy brown beard.

I put the papers down and stared intently at the four faces.

No one was scared.

That was very sturdy, though… … .

“Everyone is so confident?”

Suddenly, I asked,

“Captain. That little brat… …!”

“Zahir. This time it’s me… …!”

“Hahaha! Finally, the ancient sword technique in real combat… …!”

“There are plans. We are currently making them.”

It was a bit absurd.

Confidence is good. I believe we have the qualities to be confident enough. But it shouldn’t be abused.

“You guys look like you could die right now.”

Rivera, whose eyes were calm and serious, was okay… …

What about the rest?

Aren’t you nervous about fighting a strong opponent?

Are you crazy because you want to die?

A fearless warrior dies. That was my conclusion after going through all the hell in this Roverland.

“Do you think your opponent is funny? Are you that confident in your skills? Let’s see your skills.”

Druk.

He stood up with his sword in hand.

With life in full swing.

“Everyone, follow me to the training ground.”

An atmosphere that freezes in an instant.

“Hmm… … . I guess it’s ruined?”

Baren groaned.

“I’ve been waiting for this!”

Katrina, on the other hand, ran out excitedly.

* * *

There’s no turning back time here.

There is no blessing that would allow you to go back and challenge again even if Milo and Iodine die.

If I make even one mistake, I will lose my brothers forever.

“Katrina.”

So this process was absolutely necessary.

To inform you of reality and make you more prepared.

“It’s okay to be afraid. Embrace the fear inside you. Not being afraid means you’re taking your life lightly.”

My sister, Katrina, with her orange lion’s mane of hair.

I know this guy has been brave since he was little.

But these days, it’s a bit too much.

“awe?”

Katrina asked back, as if she had no idea what he meant.

Yeah, Inma. Why are you so fearless?

I kept asking my sisters who had been away with Katrina for half a year.

The answers that came back were similar.

‘It was too much. It seemed like he thought he had to take Lansen’s place.’

My role.

In the children’s memories, I am something that never yields, never loses, and never fears.

I know very well that it has been beautified in that way.

But look.

How did it end?

You ended up a wreck, right?

I hoped that wasn’t the case for Katrina’s future.

however…….

“Brother. Honestly. Should I be really honest with you?”

“Yeah. Of course.”

“I used to be like that. Even though I was scared, I hid it and pushed it away. I tried to take my brother’s place. I really tried. But… … It’s not like that these days.”

“then?”

“These days, I’m really not afraid. Of anything.”

Katrina lowered her visor and grabbed her spear.

We are now each mounted on our horses in preparation for cavalry combat.

The horse was a white horse named Ailun.

I spent some money smuggling this.

Katrina said again.

“I’m really not scared.”

An orange aura swirled around the guy’s body.

“So, Oppa. Oppa, teach me a little. The fear that if I act like this, I’ll die. Then. I think I’ll become sharper.”

An aura rose above the window. And above it rippled the ancient sword energy, no, the spear energy.

Katrina’s momentum has reached the level of reading the sword for the second time following Catch.

what……?

It didn’t seem like a bluff.

Are you really fearless? Can a person be like that?

But if that is true… … .

“Okay. I’ll teach you. What you should be afraid of. Ah- If you do this, you’ll die right away. I’ll teach you to realize that.”

I also took off my mask and raised my spear.

* * *

I forced my mouth, which was too narrow to open, to speak as harshly as possible.

“Baren. If you do this, Zahir will kill you.”

It’s too horrible even for me to say it with my own mouth.

“… … .”

But Baren just lowered his head and didn’t answer. He was either upset or upset… … Anyway, sometimes it’s really hard to know what he’s thinking.

Let’s leave Baren alone for now.

“Kalceric. Same goes for you. If you fight with a sword on the ground, it might be fine, but if you fight with a spear on horseback, you’ll be fine. If you do that, Brida, the Guardian, who specializes in cavalry, you’ll never win.”

It’s time to let those who showed over-confidence during meetings know the reality.

That way, we will find a way to survive and win.

But Calceric didn’t look scared at all.

“So, what you’re saying, Captain, is that if we fight fairly and with our skills, Baren and I will lose, right?”

“yes.”

“Then it’s simple.”

Calceric chuckled.

“You just have to fight fair!”

… … Is this the idea of ​​a Robert Land mercenary?

“Baren! Shall I tell you how to defeat Zahir?”

Baren’s dark face brightened.

“Ma! I have to proudly bring Zahir’s head and show it to the captain! I am Baren! I have to do it! Okay?!”

Nodding, nodding, nodding.

Baren nods his head fiercely.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you this excited…

I asked with some anxiety.

“… … I’ll check later, Calceric?”

Calceric stroked his bushy beard and smiled coolly.

“Don’t worry! I’m a warrior who has won at least 30 victories, if not 100 like Zahir!”

Yes, I believe it.

Even though it looks so light, it’s Calceric who survived all that time in this Roverland.

Anyway, I tested their skills and created some tension, so I decided to wait and see for the time being.

and,

‘Let’s go get some ancient weapons that are at least of the highest quality.’

I feel really anxious, so I think I need to hurry up and get my kids some nice clothes.

If you lack skill and experience, you have to make up for it with equipment!

I took out the book of destiny.

And then I opened the page I had found by chance.

One night, I suddenly thought of Iodine and took out the Book of Destiny and flipped through it.

What I found was a letter from the very distant past.
