46Battle of Daejeon Temple (1)
The atmosphere turned cold..
Battle of Daejeonsa Temple.
Three swordsmen representing each family compete against each other, and whoever wins twice takes all the glory..
At first glance, you may think it is a very reasonable choice to minimize damage..
However, those who knew the truth about the Battle of Daejeonsa could not hastily entrust the fate of the family to it..
Lawrence's vassal said.
“Battle of Daejeonsa Temple. great. If we were confident that we would win, there would be no simpler way. The problem is that you need someone skilled enough to secure at least two wins in three matches. The opponent is Barco. They had connections in the central government and borrowed a large amount of money from the Golden Bank, so they may have invited certain experts based on their connections and financial resources. Daejeonsa (代戰士) is ultimately a battle of personal connections, and their intention to lead the situation to a Daejeonsa battle in the beginning is clearly believed..”
There is no rule that a member of the family must participate in the battle of Daejeon Temple..
Since external experts are usually invited, Lawrence had no choice but to worry about such variables..
In the first place.
There was also a significant difference in family power..
Barko, like Dmitri, has one 3-star knight, but Lawrence only has one 2-star knight. The game doesn't work from the revealed power, so how can you accept the battle of Daejeon?.
and.
“Roman, thanks to your help, Barko's siege engines have been destroyed. As for Barco, we have no choice but to face difficulties in capturing Lawrence's walls, and the longer we wait, the more favorable the situation becomes for us. It's a matter of time. Even if it is difficult and difficult, Lawrence will be able to survive if he chooses to sit in a castle, but it is impossible to predict how the situation will turn the moment he opens the gate and accepts the Battle of Daejeon. The Battle of Daejeonsa is a disaster. If Barco wins the battle and wants Lawrence's land as compensation, we must say nothing and just give up the land..”
The other retainers also nodded..
What they were worried about was the variable.
I finally occupied an advantageous position, but I didn't want to ruin the situation by accepting the Battle of Daejeon Temple..
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 as you just said, if we are confident that we will win, there is no better way than the Battle of Daejeon. From now on, I will give you that assurance..”
3battle.
3wins and losses.
Although it is a fight where the presence of three people is emphasized, the battle of Daejeonsa is ultimately decided by two powerful people..
“Barco and Lawrence. Think about the opponent and the number of choices we have. Barco may think that a 3-star swordsman and an external expert are sure-to-win cards. Barco, who spends a lot of money renting flares, cannot afford to fully prepare all three. So, who are the options we can choose from??”
people's minds.
Only one person came to mind.
It was Roman Dmitry..
“I will be the first runner representing Lawrence. Whether the opponent is Barco's knight or an outside expert. I am confident that I will secure one win. If that's the case, the opponent will be on fire, and will have no choice but to send out a talented player in the second match. The battle of Daejeon Temple is a battle of wits. No matter how great a player you are, it is meaningless if you win once and lose twice. Third confrontation. My man Chris will finish it. Even if the opponent sends out a 3-star aura swordsman at the end, Chris is strong enough to bring victory..”
Roman's words.
It made perfect sense..
However, it was not a perfect operation..
If Roman loses to an unknown talent, the match will end right then and there without any further notice..
“Do you think I will lose??”
In Roman's words.
no one could refute.
The sight of him attacking Barco's rear and cutting off Berge's head was truly an overwhelming presence..
will win.
Roman's skills were certain..
“If so, we have secured one win. Isn't this a fight with a good chance of winning? If we take into account the number of cases and organize the match properly, we can restore Lawrence's lost honor by winning the Battle of Daejeon. I won't persuade you any further. That's all I can help you with, now you have to make a decision.”
That moment.
People's eyes were focused on one person.
Flora.
Because of this incident, her voice in the boardroom was strengthened..
Roman was an eloquent speaker..
Always understood the situation logically and rationally, boldly pointed out the reality, and elicited the other party's agreement..
It was still the same now.
Seeing Lawrence's retainers falling silent, Flora suddenly remembered the conversation they had had on the magic transmission..
[It's simple. Make sacrifices for the plan. If the Lawrence family declares their willingness to shed blood and lay the groundwork first, I promise in the name of Roman Dmitry that I will do my best to help them. In order for our conversation to proceed smoothly, you must first commit to it..]
What I said then.
Roman hoped for 'Lawrence's sacrifice'.
For his own personal revenge, he wanted Lawrence to shed blood and make a mess..
It was no different now.
On the surface, it appears that he is doing it for Lawrence, but this time, Roman forces Lawrence to make a sacrifice..
‘He's a dangerous person..’
There was a loophole in Roman's plan..
if.
If Barco hires enough experts to take down Roman, or if all three invite experts from outside,.
Lawrence's defeat.
This was the worst case scenario, and there was no way for Lawrence to solve the problem at that time..
Of course, the chances of that happening are slim..
The fact that Barco did not use Flare from the beginning meant that it was a huge financial drain, and they were also squeezing all their energy into this project..
Just 2 people.
2Barco's best bet is to prepare a sure-win card..
In fact, if that is true, as Roman said, it was possible to defeat Barco without significant damage through appropriate confrontation..
the problem is.
‘Roman is whispering sweet words to us right now. An expert like himself, who defeated Berge, will step up as the great warrior, so Lawrence should handle any variables that may arise. What should I do with this? If we choose a sit-in, we may survive in the end even if it takes a long time, but it is clear that it will be a choice that will set Lawrence back. Both families, Barco and Lawrence, are bound to be unhappy. However, if you accept Roman's offer and win, even if the damage is minimal, all the glory of victory will go to Roman, not Lawrence..’
I had a bitter taste..
Roman was a fox.
Knowing that Lawrence wasn't in a position to choose, he made the situation more advantageous..
in any situation.
To achieve maximum benefit with minimum sacrifice.
Roman did not bother to hide his dark feelings..
‘Rather, it is ironic that trust is gained because one's dark intentions can be seen. Seriously, Roman Dmitry is a fucking guy..’
grateful for the help?
It was only for a moment.
Like Roman said.
this was a deal.
For Roman's benefit, for Lawrence's benefit.
We just had to compromise with each other..
Flora said.
“I am in favor of the Battle of Daejeonsa. If there is a way to end the war quickly, I think we need to make a decision, even if it is a gamble..”
I turned away from Roman’s gaze..
Following his intentions despite knowing them.
That was the only payment Flora could give Roman..
* * *
that time.
The Barco family was in chaos..
“Roman Dmitry, why did that son of a bitch show up! For what reason are you interfering with our work? Ahhhhh!”
puck!
Kwakwang!
Viscount Barco's face grew red with anger and he smashed all the items in the barracks..
Turn over the desk.
kicking the chair.
Even though he revealed his inner violence for a while, Viscount Barco's anger did not subside easily..
“Huh, huh.”
I exhaled harshly..
As I sat down on the chair and looked at the gray ceiling of the barracks, I finally saw Barco's reality..
‘How on earth do you resolve this situation? By destroying the flare, we have no way to end the war in a short period of time. The Berge mercenaries lost their will for war due to the death of their leader, but the risk is too great to rent flares again. The remaining money borrowed from Golden Bank is to prepare for emergencies. If you use it and your plan doesn't work, then it's all over..’
It was dark.
Roman Dmitry.
I remembered the moment he cut off Berge's head..
It was overwhelming.
At first, I thought it was a crude plan as they approached from afar, but as soon as Roman's sword flashed, dozens of soldiers were massacred without even being able to scream..
And the sight of Berge rushing forward with excitement..
Viscount Barco, who had placed vain hopes, witnessed a Class A mercenary recognized by the Kingdom of Cairo fall before he could last even 10 seconds..
how.
Why did this happen?.
In my own head, I couldn't understand Roman's powerlessness..
‘There is only one way to turn an unfavorable situation around. The Battle of Daejeonsa Temple. But Lawrence would have no reason to accept the Battle of Daejeon. When the win is already secured, there is no reason to take a risky gamble..’
My mouth was dry..
My head felt clogged..
How to do it.
I didn't even know what to do.
It was then.
The barracks door fluttered open, and a soldier rushed in with an urgent look on his face..
“My lord! Lawrence sent a messenger!”
Viscount Barco thought.
It's the end of a cliff anyway.
In a situation where he was cornered, he cheekily sent a messenger and told Lawrence 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 anger..
however.
The messenger's words brought me to my senses..
“Lawrence proposes a battle to Barco..”
Battle of Daejeonsa Temple.
For a moment, I almost laughed.
Viscount Barco barely suppressed his laughter..
I was thinking about how to lead them to the battle of Daejeon Temple just now, but I had no idea they would suggest it first..
‘Lawrence is digging his own grave.’
The other person didn't know.
Barco's number.
Golden Bank lent more money than expected, and the last remaining money was saved for situations like the present..
If the. If Lawrence had chosen to sit in instead of accepting the battle to the end, Viscount Barco would have thought of using the money to rent flares once again..
however.
There was no need for that now..
The opponent took the bait.
I wasn't worried about Roman's presence..
The force shown by Roman was clearly overwhelming, but Viscount Barco's plan was a sure-win strategy that went 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 orders..
“Contact ‘him’ right now! I will send you a down payment, so you can become our great warrior.!”
I felt at peace.
the end was in sight.
I can assure you that the battle of Daejeon Temple will be decided within two fights..
