"In this Shinto duel, we bet on the land in the southern part of Rhine Zats that the Royal Resolute Army has cut off. The winner of the Shinto Duel gains territory, and the loser quietly draws his troops and gives up possession of the territory. This condition shall be made by oath of God. How do you respond?

It seems that what I said was well communicated to the other party.

The Vulcans stopped moving.

And all those who heard my voice will pay attention to me in the sky, and then think about what I said, and discuss it with those who are nearby.

Fight the Balkans.

The opponent is a strong opponent and is unaware of any sacrifice to win and is not allowed to hesitate to do so.

That said, our situation was getting worse.

That is the rebellion that took place in my country.

Apparently, the Separatists plotted a rebellion against the Royal Resolute.

The moderates who opposed the Rhine Zats invasion moved in response to reports that the Dragon Knights had been defeated.

Was it necessary for the kingdom of Resolute to fight for the danger of damaging the Dragon Knight Troops, which were still recovering?

Moreover, the opponent is the army of the country that is forming the alliance.

Makes a statement protesting against the Royal Family, which shrinks valuable combat power in useless battles.

Apart from that moderate argument, I agree with you that it would not be good to reduce the Dragon Knights any more.

The same is true of the Royal Family in my country.

But that's where the hard work popped up.

They told us to finish the fight and return to our country to suppress the rebellion.

I overwhelmed myself when I heard this order.

But even when you're worried about how you can win against the Vulcans, you should come back as soon as possible to win without depleting the Dragon Knight Troops.

I even felt like the wall of the high obstacle in front of me was getting bigger.

Can you do that?

But we have to.

Therefore, the result of the thought was a duel match.

If problems have arisen between nobles and knights for a long time, there has been a way to solve them through duel.

Set the conditions for winning and losing, arrange what happens after winning and losing, and then play fairly one-on-one.

However, this is basically often used as a method for solving problems between individuals.

For example, what happens when a knight takes a woman into a duel and the winner marries her?

However, not only were there such personal problems, but there was no duel in the past over even larger matters such as nobles, knights' houses, or territories.

These duels, unlike the usual ones, will be treated as a Shinto duel.

As the name suggests, it is a duel by oath of God, and it is not permissible to rebel after victory or defeat.

If you fail to make a promise, it is a harsh thing to be recognized as an enemy of God.

I demanded this Shinto duel from the Vulcans.

In this case, a one-on-one battle is bound to win or lose.

This is our best chance of winning, but even if we lose, we can avoid a loss of power.

It would also be possible to bring the Dragon Knight Troops back safely to their home countries to suppress the rebellion.

"During the Shinto Duel, I would like you to witness the victory and defeat of the duel to the Shield of God, Ars Barca. I ask you to make a fair and impartial judgment so that there is no disagreement with the sacred battle."

Besides, the biggest reason to apply for this Shinto duel was because there was hope that you might not have to fight Als Barca.

The Shinto Duel is not just a duel.

Due to the nature of making an oath to God, it is absolutely necessary to see the notifier.

It is customary for church officials to make the report.

Make it Ars Barca.

I noticed that his position was very complicated.

In the kingdom of Fontana, for some reason, he holds positions such as finance minister, is already hidden in the Barca family, is not the principal, and has a position related to the church called God's Shield.

There will be no reason why he must accept this offer.

But if you refuse, his name will be scratched.

God's shield, Ars Barca, refuses to watch over the requested Shinto duel and has a reputation for fleeing the duel.

I know that he is unexpectedly concerned about his reputation.

Even if you think about doing something to enhance your reputation, such as radio, you can't handle it badly.

In other words, it should be difficult for him to refuse the offer of this Shinto duel and to watch it in that Shinto duel.

And if he accepts it, he can't fight as a duel anymore than he is a notifier.

That is, there is a good chance that we can win or lose against the Barca army without fighting Als Barca.

This was my twisted operation.

It is not unlikely to be refused, but that is fine.

That way, as usual, there will only be military combat.

Finally, it's a no-lose proposition to just say it.

Rather, if you refuse, you can lower your opponent's morale by insisting on it loudly.

The Commander of the Vulcan army can be said to have fled the holy duel.

"You're not funny. Hey, Ars. Take this duel."

"Huh? Are you going to take it, part-time brother?

"Of course. You're a referee. I'm coming out."

"Really? She seems pretty strong, but are you okay? That doesn't mean you don't have to win or lose."

"Just leave it to me. Hey, you. Did you say anything about Olivia? I'll take that offer. This duel is going to be my part-time van balt. But there's one more condition. If I win, Olivia, I'll take you."

... eh?

What did he say now?

I almost overheard it.

Perhaps you are saying that you will bet on me in the Shinto duel where you bet on territory.

In the Shinto duel I demanded, I was pushed back by unexpected demands, and I stopped thinking for a while.
