Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

Meanwhile, the gathering is ongoing in the Grand Chief Gundar's camp.

“Your skills are remarkable. I can't believe you're holding a demon under that mountain! ”

Gundar praises Dmitri, the leader of the estramorwn, with an excitement. The Devil at the bottom of the mountain is a term the tribes of the Northern Mountains call the Earl Anderson superhuman.

No matter how powerful the warriors were among them, only the superhuman prince fell like a leaf, and they amazingly managed to stop him in groups.

‘I honestly didn't fully believe, but at this rate, I could really stop the foreigners under the mountain and make me the loser of the North! ’

But there is a voice that stands in the way of his optimism.

“It's not over yet. Our side of the damage is not without honesty. ”

“Hmmm, of course I do. ”

Dmitri gives a thoughtful look to Gundar, who replies fabulously.

“Continue to gather the tribes. Even if we take the damage, if we stop the Knights successfully, we'll have the Celestial Fortress, the mountain ranges behind us. The enemy will eventually retreat from the sheaves. ”

Gundar nods.

“And we can negotiate at the same time. ”

“Yes. Why would the Empire want to attack a mountain range with nothing like this?" Once you retreat like that, the tribes you rallied to will recognize you as the great chieftain who prevented your invasion of foreign lands! ”

The leaders of the storm cart tribes, including Gundar, nod their heads. That's a reasonable thing to say.

It is practically impossible to eradicate the immigrants by scorching the mountain ranges, and it is crucially a problem of profit and loss.

The Empire has already dispatched one superhuman and elite knights to the north to spend an enormous amount of military money.

If we can't subdue them with additional troops, we have to fight the whole of the Northern Mountains at all times. This is not a matter of strength difference, but a business where Susie doesn't fit.

Those who regarded the empire as barbarians who do not speak in this way but only plunder have an integrated brain and some strength, so if we put the empire on the negotiating table, we will eventually have to concede to some extent the empire as well.

Even if you give them a little bit of your share, it will be more beneficial for the Empire to safely develop the plains of the North.

‘Then the food problems of us and the tribes of the mountain tribes will be solved, and I will sit as the true Northern chieftain! ’

Gundar tells his subordinates to sweep up the nearby tribes with big dreams.

“Go around the mountains and draw more warriors and troops! ”

Dmitri looks at him and smiles in repentance.

Your Highness, I believe your order will be well fulfilled. ’

They were among the elite of the hidden powers the Duke had raised.

As the result suggests, even if the target is superhuman, it demonstrates its ability to hold out for a certain amount of time.

'Of course, there's no harm done. ’

Today, some of them suffered irreparable serious injuries by stopping the late Anderson, and the leader, Dmitri, is also leading the charge and is filled with large and small wounds all over the body.

‘But it is enough to endure and consume. ’

Even if superhumans are unmanned beyond human limits, it is hard to turn the tide on their own.

In the end, we need the strength of the Knights, but this is the best quality or number of knights they've ever seen.

There they continue to be filled with warriors from the mountains. Considering the rapidly assembled support troops from the capital, they can handle themselves.

‘And the First Prince will never learn anything from this war! ’

That was his intention. In fact, it was none of their business whether Gundar became chief or not, and it only took time.

And after word spread about Yurius' struggle in the north, it was enough to wipe them all out in front of the Grand Duke or the Second Prince.

Then everything we've done to stabilize the North is back to the Grand Duke.

But the time of day. There's another group that's talking about it.

“Maybe that's what the chief and the stranger next to him meant. ”

“I understand. You've been through a lot, too, haven't you? ”

Yurius and Nooda are in a debate over the advancement of the future.

“This is also an offer for you. If we go back to the Grand Duke's intentions, the bandits will suffer near annihilation. You wouldn't want that. ”

Nuda also nods.

“Fragile people who rely on plunder. Not those who like it, but those who live in the mountains are all brothers after all. ”

“To reduce the damage, the first thing you need to do is defeat that Chief at once. ”

If the war drags on long enough, we will only do more damage to each other. Yurius suggests a short-term battle.

“But how? I know the number of tribes that have already gathered... ”

Yurius laughs from here.

“You know that better than I do, don't you? ”

“ ……!? ”

“What do you mean, I know better? ”

Nooda raises questions on her face.

“Literally. ”

Here, Yurius suddenly smiles and gazes back at him with a serious look.

“Nooda, you must already be a warrior without enemies in the Northern Mountains. The superman you call the Great Warrior is a ten finger mark on the whole earth. ”

“ ……. ”

“And what I did to that chief by bringing the six tribes together in my own way, I think I have an idea, too, am I wrong? ”

Nuada closes her eyes.

‘He seems to have known me from the beginning. How is that even possible? ’

In fact, it is perfectly natural for him to confront Gundar.

I don't know if he's a warrior as powerful as Yurius to defeat himself one-on-one, but his pride won't allow him to rule the North by borrowing the power of strangers.

“As I said before, I'm here to offer you an alliance. ”

With a solemn look, Yurius reaches out to him.

“Not that I make you a loser in the North, as in the case of the Grand Chief, but I trust your ability to see for myself! That's why I came up with the word alliance. ”

“ ……. ”

Nooda still looks at his extended hand and is silent.

Yurius finishes speaking powerfully.

“I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for us. I am here to prevent unnecessary sacrifice, to protect my people! For the tribes of the mountains and your ambitions! ”

“Keep your hands off me. ”

“ ……!? ”

Yurius thinks for a moment and holds his fist, not his hand. They smashed their fists three times and then held hands.

Nuada opens her mouth afterwards.

“I still can't completely trust you, actually. You know too well about us foreigners. ”

Yurius smiles bitterly from the inside.

‘Well, no one knows these customs as well as I do at this point. ’

The exchange of fists and the shaking of hands is a ceremony committed to the fellowship of chieftains in the north.

“But I owe you my life. And then you gave me a chance to challenge you again when I grew up. ”

Taking him to town is actually not even on the asking axis. And he was incapable of living with debts.

“Let me trust you on this! Let's make sure we repay our debts with this. ”

Yurius also smiles, expressing his serious face.

“Farewell. ”

Nooda replies in a blunt tone.

“I don't say that between friends. I understand your plan, by the way, but can I tell you something? ”

The two agree as well.

“We'll have to gather more forces first. ”

“We should ambush it and destroy Gundar's forces in a heartbeat. ”

The remaining tribes work together to defend neutrality in the mountains! And ambush from behind!

It looks simple at first glance, but it's not easy.

“Bringing the forces of tribes who have not joined the mountain ranges into our alliance will be a force that will do great harm to our enemies. ”

However, Nooda makes a skeptical face.

“But the tribes who declared it completely neutral have no sharp means as well... ”

In fact, there were many tribes who did not respond to the oppressive borrowings of Gundar. Engaging the tribes who declared neutrality is key to this surprise!

No matter how far behind me, the current troops of the Yurius alliance were unable to take a single critical hit.

“The tribes that didn't come out of the mountains are probably the same as you. ”

“That's right. In fact, even inside the mountains would never be safe to mess with the estramorwn on the plains." ”

“But unlike Gundars, you're the strongest warrior in the mountains, and you're not a trusted ally. ”

“Hmm……. ”

“If I can offer a clear countermeasure, I can draw them in. ”

Nooda here has doubts about her expression again.

“Is there such a thing? I thought I asked you to join me in a duel. ”

“Of course, for a tribe that's too stubborn, you'll need it. ”

But it is simply not enough to attract all the tribes.

Yurius finally gets to the point.

“What is your greatest regret? ”

“ ……!? ”

“Probably food, right? In my name, the Imperial Crown, I will solve the food problems of the tribes following you. ”

Nua jumps out of the chair instantly.

“Is that even possible? ”

He lost his composure for the first time. If so, even the neutral tribes have no reason not to follow him.

“Of course. But first, we must defeat that Gundar!" ”

“Hmm……. ”

Yurius' confident answer puts him back on his feet.

“Is it related to visiting our tribe? ”

‘I knew you'd be quick. ’

Yurius holds his tongue out and pretends to be relaxed.

“It's not irrelevant. ”

“So you'll tell me later, then? ”

Nooda grumbles, but not a grumpy face. A friendly opponent. Now that I owe you, I have no doubt about it.

‘It's worth taking a beating in front of him, even if he's in a crowd. ’

Yurius smiles inside and tells a different story.

“By the way, what would you call being chief if you united the tribes? ”

“Why not just the Grand Chief? ”

“The chief reminds me of that Gundar, so you don't like the title. ”

“Is that so?"

Nooda frowns. Obviously, thinking about that idiot is not my favorite title.

“We call the sovereign king of the multitude the king, but why don't you try this title? ”

“King?"

“Yes. I will be king of the Northern Mountains. King of the Mountains..." How about "king of spades" for short? ”

“Hmm……. ”

Nooda did not answer, but I strangely like the title.

‘The king of the mountains...' That sounds surprisingly nice. ’

‘Even if I don't stick with it, you will be called that. ’

Yurius insists on considering his former title.
