Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

In a few days.

Finally, the day for the surrogate duel to take over the territory was set to begin.

In the castle of the writer Caine, a group of puppets visited. The opponents, Earl Lawrence and the Knights. After that, the soldiers were lined up, so they did not attend the duel, but came to fight some war.

“Is the Earl here? ”

Earl Lawrence's polite greetings were a disquieting expression.

“You've taken surrogate duel well in such a humble little territory, huh? I'm sure you've arranged for a handover. ”

All the pretenders who were behind the story, who ignored their greetings in public, all looked unhappy.

“ ……. ”

The party who heard the abuse turned away without a word and walked inside the castle as if trying to guide him.

“Hmph! You still want to protect your last ego? I won't have to work hard because I'm not crying and hanging around. ”

Lawrence walks back into the castle in a confident footstep, as if he had won.

‘Well, it would be bad to underestimate the castle and territory that will soon be mine anyway. ’

He didn't think he was going to lose at all on the bay. That is why they were able to act as invincible people even during the duel.

Speechless.

The writer's castle, which used to be a quiet countryside, was crowded with outsiders today.

The nobles and knights who brought each other as notary witnesses of the duel are gathering to prepare for the duel.

Later, an old nobleman in charge of the notary came out and looked at the owner of both territories alternately and opened his mouth.

“Now that all the guests have arrived, we should probably get started. Are you ready?”

“This way is ready. ”

“The result is fixed anyway, but let's get started! ”

Hearing both answers, he nods.

“Then you two can send out your own articles. As you know, the first to disable or defeat a knight is the winner. ”

And the notary's representative turned his gaze to the barn for a moment, and slightly apologized.

“The losing side, according to the rules, cannot take anything except for the property of two wagons. Do you agree?”

Tsk!

He and the notary were all wearing tongues. Earl Lawrence's attitude as a recluse was disturbing, but also sympathy for Earl Caine.

“I haven't had much luck in the last year. ”

“Why do they resist when they can just close their eyes and surrender to the Noble League? The knights are so hard on their heads. ”

I couldn't have known the murmur.

“ ……. ”

However, he was also a matter of loyalty to the Wasteland, but ultimately he was unable to join the nobles.

"I'm too old to catch the ankle of my founding son. ’

If he surrenders and enters the Noble League, what will happen to Caine that he is doing well next to the First Crown Prince? You won't necessarily hear a good sound.

It was his idea that if the path of ascension was open in the middle, he could not harm his son because of this rural area.

‘I'm glad Lord Max said he was furious and returned to the capital. The hippopotamus almost had me worried sick. ’

The first time I saw Caine, the itsy itsy bitsy itty bitty. I almost hid what I was trying to hide when I was on vacation at this time.

‘Then why did you take a vacation in this chaotic time? ’

There was a slight question, but the author who cleared his mind nodded his head as he looked at the notary.

“Of course I'm ready. ”

“Then I'll get started. ”

The duel was to be fought at the arena in the castle. Earl Lawrence sent out an article first. He reaches out to a knight with a smile on his plump face.

“Heh heh... Lord Howard should try again. ”

The knight nods without an answer and walks out slowly. Generally, it was a slightly strange landscape to refer to the relationship between the Lord Lord and the Knights.

The knight in the middle of the training ground opens his mouth and reveals his identity.

“I was originally a free knight, but I'm Rick Howard, who was supposed to be serving Earl Lawrence a while ago. I look forward to a fair and just battle. ”

Aquatics.

A loud voice erupted again from the notorious stone that had heard it.

They participated in the first two proxy duels around here, but the identity of the knight they identified as Sir Howard was somewhat questionable.

“Even if there are strong people hiding on the continent, do you really need to depend on an Earl to easily defeat the Masters? ”

“Well, maybe it's a knight in shining armor." Anyway, I won't see any results this time. ”

‘Now it's my turn. ’

The tailor closes his eyes tightly and gestures to let the knight go. It was rather difficult to choose because I was prepared to lose anyone who came out.

The knight he chose was a middle-aged knight who had served him for many years. You have to send out an experienced knight before you can inflict a huge injury.

Louder.

As you hear the footsteps behind you, the jerk turns his head in apology.

‘I'm sorry for him. Please don't just get hurt... Huh? "

The narrator opened his eyes for a moment. It's because the article that came out was a completely different edition.

“What's wrong with you? ”

The knight, who was so embarrassed that the wind gusted out of his mouth, called out to the player in case he wanted to bite him.

“I am Bernard Caines, the eldest son of the writer, and commander of the squad of the Knights Sharnos of the First Prince! ”

Suddenly, the notary stone spills out more elasticity than the opposing Pokémon.

“Of course... I've heard of him. I heard you used to be quite a knight at the Imperial Ball. ”

“By the way, you said your eldest son is making a name for himself in the capital these days, right? I could have hidden it like that! ”

With an interesting look on the notary's face, I couldn't help but insist that no matter how small, I would change the article.

It is because it is only a disgrace to his son that he should be forced to change into a situation like this. He shakes his head and tries to shoot Caines.

What are you doing out here? ’

“ ……. ”

He doesn't answer, and greets the other knight.

“I ask you for a fair fight. ”

“If you can do it! ”

The opponent, Lord Howard, secretly gives Caines a boost. It was because of the meaning of the subjugation of the carriage and his interest in calling it the First Prince's Knight.

‘I've definitely heard of him, but he doesn't look that strong. ’

“Hmm?"

Surprisingly, Caine seems a little overwhelmed by the situation and recovers in an instant. Howard's eyes twitch when he sees it.

"Look at this? ’

He was hiding his identity, but he was actually a super-rated knight. It's hard for the opponent to be that proficient with his energy!

‘But no matter how much I look at it, it's not superhuman. You'll regret meeting me here today. ’

Surprisingly, his eyes felt alive for a while. He never intended to let Caine, who was introduced as a bystander of Yurius, live.

Meanwhile, Caine pretends to be unfamiliar on the outside, but is sweating his insides off. I can't believe you said you defeated the master class, but you must be superhuman.

‘No! So is the Crown Prince, and why is he so unlucky these days? Everyone I meet is a step ahead of me... ’

He was only used to being hit by an opponent who was stronger than him during his special training.

But it was practice, and it was practice. The user seems reluctant to take on the target with a sudden burst of energy.

At this moment, Caine's concentration is raised to its peak. It was inevitable. Doesn't he have a reason to win?

"This is a trial!"

Instead, Kanes shows his determination, and Howard just smiles coldly.

"I like the angle, but how long will it last?" ’

Soon after, the duel began with signs of the notary.

“Then let the knights of both sides begin the duel. ”

Idiot!

Howard's sword blazes at Caine's heart. It was a vicious maneuver, even though it was called a duel, aiming for critical points from the beginning.

His face becomes pale when he sees it.

"He's got quite a reputation, but can he handle a knight like that? ’

Ka 'ang!

“ ……!? ”

At that moment, both Howard and Jacques look stunning. Caine surprisingly managed to stop the strike. There's even a sharp counterattack.

Chang!

"You're getting the hang of it, huh? ’

Howard lunges again, his face stiffened. He swings his sword furiously to keep Kanes from giving him a chance to fight back. The elaborate series of attacks contained a very spectacular and terrifying power, so Caine was about to fall with blood on her hands.

Get it, get it! Chang!

In fact, he was distracted. The user merely defends itself against the target's attacks.

“ ……. ”

However, Howard's expression is steady as he makes his move.

You look like you're being pushed unilaterally, but you're not hurt. Do you intend to spend only your opponent's health? ’

At first, he was preparing for the fight with a worried look, but he was watching the battle with a surprised look.

“Look at that. You said you were talented. ”

Lord Max smiles as he approaches. The bird frowns.

“You lied to me. He said he went back to the capital. ”

“The young master asked me to. ”

The short answer lets out a sigh.

“All because I'm incompetent, I won't hold you responsible. ”

“You don't have to do that. You sent the young master to the capital, didn't you? ”

“I wanted to change my personality a little bit. But I didn't expect this outcome. ”

“Well, I hope it works out, right? ”

“ ……. ”

The snitch no longer replies, but Lord Max, who knows the inside, smiles with a joyful smile. On the other hand, I heard a question.

‘By the way, who changed that wretched young master so reliably? Were you inspired by your fellow Knights? Or the First Prince? ’

But before the question was solved, the situation of the duel suddenly changed.

Gaaaah!

“ ……!? ”

“Young Master!”

Kanes, who had been so well guarded before, finally allowed the attack. Howard's momentum is worse than ever.

He was grinding his teeth inside.

"I can't believe I pulled out a tie on this kid! ’

His strength and speed increased momentarily as he used his Bigi. So no matter how many times Kane got caught up in it.

You have survived so far thanks to your training and outstanding opponent.

Chop, chop!

His body, which had already been allowed to shoot around his body, soon became bloody. But Caine was aiming for an opportunity with his eyes wide open.

‘It is still viable. You only need one chance! ’

The opponent is clearly superhuman, but he is not as ruthless and strong as Pan Yurius or Beatrice by beating him to a pulp. I didn't already care because I was beaten to death by the bruises.

Looking persistently at him, Howard feels that something is going wrong.

‘I thought I'd bring down Biggie soon after, but he's a real pain in the ass. ’

His tie is his stomach!

The word used to mean more and more power and speed as he continued to attack. However, Caine's black ghost howls and severs the gap between his attacks, preventing him from exerting enough power.

He may be weak among the superhumans, but Caine's sword alone has the worst imagination to make his mark.

Then I saw that I was pushing overwhelmingly, but it was not easy to win or lose. Howard nods, embarrassed.

‘That way, you can't maintain your strength while bleeding constantly. In the end, it will be my victory. ’

At first, I was determined to win overwhelmingly, but I didn't think so.

“Phew……. ”

He slows down his attack momentarily to keep his stamina warm.

And that was the moment Caine was waiting for.

Opportunity!

Caine grabs the sword with both hands and plunges into the opposing team's jaw. This was the trick he learned as he was beaten to death.

‘Even if you're not careless, it's superhumans who don't doubt their victory over a regular knight! ’

In the meantime, he's made every effort to give Yurius a shot to escape a special training hell.

It was this moment that worked the most. The moment your opponent is convinced of winning and slows down their aggression a little!

Glug.

His sword slits like a ghost and slits Howard's throat. Howard had to be frightened because he had invested all of Caine's energy in his spleen.

"What?"

No matter how superhuman you are, you cannot take the blade of a Force wielded by a master knight naked. If the sword stops near his neck like this, it will be his decision.

Howard grips his teeth.

You're gonna lose to a kid like that! ’

He twists his upper torso and stabs himself straight into the heart, avoiding the attack.

Uhhhhhhh!

Phew!

You slip from Caine's black neck, cracking Howard's chest, and stab him in the heart with Howard's sword.

“Huff... ”

“Huff!”

Howard is badly wounded with a false sternum. And Caine, who had been pierced through the heart, stepped back twisting with his white face.

“Marquis... No, Lord Howard! ”

“Bernard!"

Both representatives were ready to rush out with a pale face.

And the results of each batch were soon revealed.

Bang!

Howard collapsed first with an unbelievable look on his face.

“W-winning winner is Writer Caine! ”

An unexpected result led to the notary's stammer declaring Caine's victory.

“Call a therapist! ”

“Young Master!”

Lord Max hurrying out, looking at the details of Cairns about to collapse, sighs of relief.

“You've only moved about a inch from your heart. You're welcome."

Just as Howard faced the angle of necessity, he twisted his last body slightly and nearly missed the blade from his heart.

Kanes is stunned as soon as he receives the first aid. All the notaries were busy praising him, grumbling.

“I thought I was going to lose, but it was a big fight. I feel sorry for Earl Lawrence. ”

“What's the pity? That's how you get greedy! ”

Earl Lawrence is trembling with a pale face.

"No, this is what happened! ’

In his mind, superhuman Howard is the undefeated defeat. However, the common sense was broken. After being unconscious for a while, he starts rolling his head.

‘We cannot take away the land like this. But what am I supposed to do? ’

Immediately, his eyes darkened.

‘I have far superior knighthood than this barren territory. I'd rather kill every last one of them... ’

“Sinners, be gently persecuted! ”

But before he could make his decision, the gates came down and the knights poured in. It is a landscape that is hundreds of people and never seen in this southern countryside.

“What! What the hell is going on? ”

A middle-aged man dressed neatly walks out among the knights surrounding the training ground. He opens his mouth in a solemn tone.

“I am Marquis Perez, commander of the Three Imperial Legions. ”

“ ……!? ”

Everyone in the intestine was astonished.

“No, what is the central army doing in this countryside……. ”

The reason was soon discovered.

“Earl Lawrence! I'm arresting you on suspicion of conspiracy to join the Confederates. ”

“ ……!? ”

Earl Lawrence had no choice but to freeze in place like a statue, trembling with a lump of fat all over his body. How the hell did you get that information?

In addition, the words that came out of the mouth of the Marquis Perez shocked everyone in the intestine.

“And so is the man down there! The Emperor has decided to question the charges of consorting with the Confederacy and the crimes of deserting his post in the position of a change bag. ”

Yikes!

One of the approaching knights peels something from the face of a superman called Sir Howard.

There is nothing more surprising now, but a void gust from some of the nobles' mouths.

“What about that face? ”

“Isn't that Earl Patrick? ”

And the face that appeared was Earl Patrick, a superhuman who was in charge of the southern border. His disguise was Howard.

Perez accepted it and declared it.

“This is from the east, a very exquisitely crafted mask called an inferno sphere! No one will suspect his identity with this, right? ”

“ ……. ”

I couldn't have said anything. The knights tighten the thick chains around Howard, or the Marquis of Patrick, who is almost breathless with a rough grip.

“ ……!? ”

The writer stands still, alternating between Caines and Perez, who have fallen down because he doesn't even know what's going on.

Seeing that, a young man walked out among the notaries.

“I'll explain it to you. ”

Kanes, who had just woken up from treatment, was also looking at the person who was barely smiling in front of him with a puzzled look.

“No, brother Devan! What the hell are you doing here? ”

“I have received the Crown Prince's order. ”

“Yes? Your Highness? ”

Kanes disfigures his face. It's because Yurius called out to himself a while ago and he remembered the big words.

“After all your hard work, go back to your hometown and rest! ”

* * *

This was the inside story.

“The Confederate God? ”

Yurius frowns, saying that there are an unusual stream of air in the capital and forces that force nobles to gather in the south.

“And this is the most problematic, and it seems that the southern superhero, Marquis Patrick, is behind it. ”

Yurius, who heard what Jegalhwa said, said without much concern.

“If he's the opponent, we can give Caine a chance. ”

“You mean Caine? ”

Next to him, Devan tilts his head. You'd think it was Yurius, but would he be able to handle a superhuman now?

“Isn't he the weakest superman in the empire? I heard from Victor there that he despised the Grand Duke for his talented, arrogant, cruel temperament. I'm sure he can handle it. ”

“Still.”

Devan shuts up, trying to say something more. Would Yurius send you to kill Caine?

“That's how we'll expect power. ”

“I believe in you. ”

At that time, Yurius couldn't afford to worry about the southern crumbs because he cared about the capital. No matter how much the nobles of the south gathered there, there was no way they could face the 3rd legion with Devan.

'If there is a problem, it is the existence of the supernatural Earl Patrick, and Kanes will sufficiently prevent it, as I predicted. ’

Yurius was convinced in his own way. It was a memory of his past life.

It was also a very famous anecdote about Caines.

“With the exception of the Grand Duke, who would choose the best knight in the South? ”

“Perhaps it's the other superhuman, Earl Patrick. ”

“But there's also Bird of Caines, called The Undefeated, right? ”

“Well, how are you going to get over a superhuman? ”

Everyone in their past life voted for the best Southern prosecutor except the Grand Duke. But there was an interesting anecdote about the two victories.

“It's unpleasant to compare that to me. ”

However, it always seemed to bother him to compare himself with the famously lazy Caine.

One day, he visits Kanes' territory and wages a fight.

“Huff... I'll lose even if I win this... ”

Seeing him insisting on a duel, Caine was very embarrassed and accepted the duel on the condition that he kept it a secret indoors.

And the result was surprisingly a draw.

“ ……. ”

After the battle, the Grand Duke keeps his mouth shut and returns to his territory. This was a typical case where Caines could become so famous, not a superhero.

There was also a battle with the superman during his defeat.

However, after hearing that Earl Patrick was arrogant and cruel, Yurius immediately realized.

‘If he had that personality, he wouldn't have kept Caine alive. In his past life, that battle must have been Caine's victory. ’

Yurius sent him south because at least Caine must have enough skill to stand up to him.

Of course, sending him to the territory to participate in the duel was technically not his operation, but Devan's plan.

‘If we face each other on the battlefield and lose Caine to an unfortunate accident, the Crown Prince won't be able to face us. ’

The plan that Devan had devised was the territorial war. Earl Lawrence, the greedy one, was after the homeland of Caines.

It was a great opportunity to create a one-on-one situation.

Devan disguised himself as a notary and sent a signal as soon as the victory or loss was decided to bring the troops in. If Caine seems to be going down, he has the least he can do.

* * *

“ ……. ”

Finally, Caine, who had heard the inside of it, was forced to vomit a grudging cry as he fluttered.

“Your Highness! ”
