Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 393
393angry captain barbarian (3)
Tuk.
After I finished what I wanted to say and sat down, a moment of silence fell over the banquet hall..
That's natural..
Isn’t this a place where each person appeals why he or she should be the leader?.
It's obvious how what I said was received..
“Does that mean you're stronger than us??”
The question of a noble knight whose discomfort was clearly revealed through his tight mouth..
I smiled and answered.
“You understood correctly..”
I decided there was no need to deny it..
I didn't say anything wrong.
“…….”
Despite my bold answer, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet..
The noble knight seemed to want to shoot something at me, but he seemed to hold back his words for the sake of the marquis next to him..
Sigh.
In that sense, I glanced at the Marquis and our eyes met..
Surprisingly, rather than being disgusted by my actions, the Marquis just looked at me with interest, his eyes shining..
Well, then what about the other kids??
As I took a look around, I saw eyes with different emotions gathered around me..
“I hope you have at least half as much skill as that arrogance. Skilled subordinates are always welcome..”
Hostility stemming from discomfort.
It belonged to a noble knight..
“Hoho, that's the way it is with all guys that age. Why do I like being manly??”
Unlike his refreshing voice, his gaze clearly shows his pathetic feelings..
It belonged to a dwarf woman..
“Lihen Schuitz, I've heard of it. It is called the man after blood spirit.?”
The gaze that was looking at me with deep curiosity and analysis was that of the vice-captain of the Sawtooth Clan..
“…….”
Jun, a holy knight of the Tobera cult, stared at me with surprisingly emotionless eyes..
Well, it doesn't seem worth worrying about.?
I don't know, but the attention that was fixed on me disperses and our eyes move as if searching for each other..
Now that you've finished introducing yourself, it's time to make a decision..
Who is the person who will most hinder you from becoming a leader?.
“It's a happy place, but the atmosphere has become heavy. Since everyone said their names, let’s eat..”
At that moment, the Marquis came out to remind us, and everyone continued their conversation while eating..
Oh, of course it wasn't a friendly atmosphere..
“Everyone knows this. That one of us will be in a position to lead us all. As you know, it is a position that carries great obligations..”
A position where you have to take responsibility for the lives of a total of 30 people..
However, there was no one here who did not know that they would receive enormous profits the moment they sat down..
As for me, the Marquis had promised great support..
“So what does Lord Kaislan want to say? we don't deserve it?”
The dwarf woman spoke in a quiet tone, making it clear that she had no intention of giving up her position..
“Okay, I just wanted to check. Do you really know what it means?.”
The article seems to have regarded the lady as her biggest competitor and seemed to regret it..
“Haha, I think I know what you mean. I also had to be weighed down by numerous responsibilities and obligations until I reached the position of vice-captain..”
Without missing this moment, the vice-captain also subtly appealed his career..
Hey, what a nervous breakdown..
“I'll ask you this bluntly, but do you have a greed for Jun Kyung-do's position??”
“There is nothing as fleeting as human emotions. Everything will go as God wants.”
In some ways, it sounds like you are taking a bystander position..
At this, the knight’s expression brightened..
Just until the paladin continued speaking..
“However, among these, it seems that I am the one who is closest to God's will..”
God and all, it was a long talk, but in the end, he also said that he would participate in this competition..
Perhaps because he knew that the Holy Knight's followers were the Three Gods, a deeper look of concern appeared on the knight's face..
It seems like they judged this to be a big competitor as well.…….
“I guess so.”
What is it, why don't you ask me??
People feel sad.
***
After the war of nerves that seemed like they were looking at each other,.
The driver nodded once with eyes full of determination and soon took control of the conversation..
“There are many people who want it, but there is only one seat. In the end, we'll have to decide which one of us is more qualified..”
“Oh my, it sounds like you have a method in mind.?”
“First, why don't you tell us what your ideal commander is??”
Simply put, it means finding out more about each other’s tendencies..
“It's good. If it's that much.”
The dwarf woman and the vice-captain readily agreed to the knight's proposal, and the paladin and I did not vote against it and the work proceeded..
“Since I was the one who spoke, I will go first..”
As expected, the first person to step forward was a knight who liked to step forward from the beginning..
He declared with a loud voice like a soldier..
“Basically, a group cannot show its true value if it cannot move as one body. I think the most important quality for a commander is leadership ability..”
“That's too abstract. What exactly do you think leadership means??”
“It is the force that creates and maintains discipline. Control starts from there. A perfectly controlled force has no clutter in advancing toward a given goal..”
It already reminds me of when this guy became the leader..
A group that interferes in every case without flexibility and loses individual freedom and individuality..
Soon the guy spoke passionately for a while longer, explaining what the group he wanted to create was and what its strengths were..
And how long has it been.
“That's it..”
As soon as the knight's turn was over, the dwarf lady snatched the next turn..
“I heard good things about you. Then I'll do the next one..”
Unlike the article, which was a very stereotypical story, I was quite interested in what this woman said..
First of all, you are a top explorer.?
What does this person place the greatest value on?.
“Since ancient times, problems in the labyrinth have been solved by explorers. Historically, the military's intervention as it does now was extremely rare. Why??”
“That's because the royal family respects the ways of explorers..”
“That may be true, but I think it is actually more efficient from the royal family's perspective. Because anything that happens in the labyrinth is not strange. We needed a talent who could deal with all situations, and that was an explorer. In the first place, there are too many disadvantages to operating hundreds or thousands of troops in the labyrinth..”
“So, Akurava, what you're saying is that the ideal commander is an explorer.?”
“I don't mean that. I just think that if someone has to lead the labyrinth, that person needs to have abundant knowledge and experience about the labyrinth, and the judgment to proactively deal with it..”
There were many aspects of the qualities that the dwarf woman requested that were understandable..
To be honest, I think it would be much safer to be under this woman than that bastard knight..
Well, that statement wasn't without problems..
“Excuse me, but Mr. Akuraba, you have no conducting experience.?”
The dwarf woman frowned at the vice-captain’s words..
At first, I guess I had no idea that my junior, whom I respected as a senior and all, would drink water like this..
However, even while the lady was glaring, the vice-captain finished what he had to say..
“I know that in the past, when we worked as a team, he did all the conducting..”
“…I have experience leading a team before..”
“I see. However, leading a team and leading a team of 30 people are two different stories..”
Wow, this guy is a complete noob too..
Actually, it's funny to question the moral feelings of seniors and other things in business situations..
“Anyway, now that I'm done talking, you can take the third turn, James Calla..”
“There is no reason to take it out.”
This was the value he presented as he took over the turn by belittling the dwarf woman..
“No matter what, the most important thing for a commander is information. That’s what Akuraba-senpai said, right? Must be able to respond proactively in any situation.”
“By the way?”
“If you have information in advance, it is possible to avoid finding yourself in such a situation. Even if you find yourself in a crisis, your options are increasing..”
The vice-captain continued speaking while looking pointedly at the dwarf woman, perhaps for the purpose of keeping her in check..
But wasn’t this sight absurd?.
“Certainly, it's not wrong. If only they had that much information..”
The dwarf woman responded more nervously than usual, and the vice-captain immediately opened his mouth as if he had prompted this reaction..
“Behind me are the Alminus Company and the Explorers Guild. Of course, that doesn't mean you can completely know everything about the world.…….”
“…….”
“At least out of all of these, I think my ears are the brightest..”
The dwarf woman could not refute those words..
If Alminus Company or the Explorer's Guild are your allies, you will be able to collect more information than just the royal family within the labyrinth..
It may be a bit weak in terms of advanced information, but.
“That's all for me, so who will be next??”
“I will do it.”
The next person in line for the vice-captain was Paladin Jun, and he began to give us a long speech as if he were a priest attending mass..
“Everything begins with faith, and it is no different for commanders. Strong faith and trust create the courage to not give in to any evil.…….”
Wow, this guy talks a lot..
“The world is full of trials. Some people overcome it, while others become frustrated and lose faith. But did you know?”
Unlike before, his eyes are full of passion..
At first, I thought he was just a stone-cold person..
“Those who overcame trials were always those who maintained their faith. Only faith can bring others together, and only such united faith can save us from trials..”
Huh, I still get tired of repeating the same thing over and over again..
“haam…….”
As I was yawning without realizing it, the paladin closed his mouth and glared at me..
“Talking about my faith seems boring..”
No, then it won't be boring.?
When I asked him what he wanted, the paladin narrowed his eyes..
“So now how about you say?”
Soon, when the paladin tried to pass the turn to me, the person next to me preferred it..
“Yeah, I think that would be a good idea..”
“yes. I was already curious.”
It seems like they were also bored with the talk about faith..
“Lihen Schuitz, why do you think you should be a commander??”
The vice-captain asked me.
There was a subtle undertone in his voice, as if he was not looking at a competitor, but rather a citizen who would cast his vote..
No, it's not just him?
“If you have the personality you showed earlier, it seems like you want a ruler who can lead strongly..”
An article that subtly appeals to oneself.
“A soldier could have done that. Any explorer wouldn't know how important what I just said is..”
When the article came out, the dwarf woman quickly joined in..
I couldn't help but laugh out loud..
Why do they expect me to agree with their opinions??
Of course, I said it clearly earlier.
“…why are you smiling?”
That's natural.
“It's funny that we're wasting time talking about who's the right person and all..”
“……?”
“What are you babbling about in the first place to persuade me??”
While they were talking passionately, I chewed the meat intently and finished my meal, washing my hands to remove the seasoning..
and…….
“The winner just needs to have it..”
He said as he put down the cup he had gulped down on the table..
thud.
A heavy impact echoed through the banquet hall..
However, no one flinched or flinched..
“ha… I somehow thought it would be like this.”
“So then, what Mr. Schuitz is pursuing can be seen as ‘forcelessness’..”
Looks that seem to be somehow pathetic.
They are all prudes.
Or maybe you lack imagination.
“Now that I see it, I was a fool to believe in a small power and to be picky. Do you think you can convince us that way??”
“uh.”
“Since ancient times, being a leader can only be achieved through strength... what?”
“Is there any reason why I can't convince you??”
I'm full now. I'm in perfect condition to exercise..
“Stop playing with your tongue and attack me.”
As I stood up and spoke, the driver who was looking at me was taken aback..
There is also a marquis, so I wonder if this is okay..
“I have no intention of interfering with whichever method you choose..”
The Marquis seems to have decided to leave this matter to me, but he is completely attuned to me..
“That's right.”
When I shrugged my shoulders, the dwarf woman said sarcastically..
“Even if you fight him and win, we will never acknowledge you. If a person who only believes in power and is picky ends up in that position,—”
What is this woman saying again?.
“Would you have understood it if it had been said differently??”
This is the fundamental reason why I said earlier what they were doing was a waste of time..
I looked at them one by one and said.
“strong control. Judgments that come from experience. Ability to gather extensive information. and trust.”
The qualities of a commander mentioned by the previous four.
“Yeah, it's not all bad..”
This is sincere.
But there is a very serious problem here..
“But no matter how many times I talk about it, is there anyone who would convince me that it would be a good idea for that person to be the leader??”
What everyone wants cannot be achieved through agreement..
This is especially true if what is put on the newsstand is of such illusory value..
however…….
“Are you different??”
“okay.”
Force is different..
“So go for it.”
“Don't do anything stupid. Even if by chance you really beat him—”
You won't admit it.
That much I know..
but…….
“Who said it was just one person??”
What life as a barbarian taught me.
If there are cases where it is impossible to obtain the consent of the other party by force.
It's only.
“entire.”
Only if the person lacks power.
“……?”
I grinned as I looked at the four men and women whose brains seemed unable to keep up..
“Let's all fight together.”
There is no wizard among the four..
