"In this divine duel, I bet the land in southern Rheinzatz territory cut off by our Royal Risolte Army. With the winning side of the divine duel gaining territory, the loser quietly pulls the army and gives up territorial ownership. This condition shall be done by oath to God. How's the response going?

The mouth I mentioned was apparently passed on to the other person properly as well.

Barca's army has stopped moving.

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

Fight the Barca army.

The opponent is a formidable enemy, does not know what sacrifices will be made to grab victory and is not allowed to hesitate to do so again.

Even so, this one was getting even worse.

That's the rebellion that took place in my country.

Apparently, a house of branches plotted a rebellion against the Risorte royal family.

A moderate who was opposed to this invasion of Rheinzatz territory moved in response to reports that the Dragon Knight Squad had been defeated.

Was it necessary for the Kingdom of Risorte to fight until it committed such a danger as to undermine the Dragon Knight Troop, which was still in the process of recovery?

Moreover, the opponent is also the army of the country in which the alliance is made.

He makes a statement protesting the royal family, which shrinks its precious power in useless warfare.

Aside from that moderate argument, I agree with you that it is no good to reduce the Dragon Knight Troop any further.

Also, the royal family in the country thinks so.

but that's where the impossibility popped up.

He told us to just finish the fight and go back to our country and crack down on the conspiracy.

I accidentally held my head when I heard this order.

It's just that when you're worried about how you can beat the Barca Army, come home victorious without draining the Dragon Knight Squad as early as possible.

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

Is that something you can do?

But we have to.

As such, it was the battle by duel that came out of the thought.

For a long time there has been a method of trying to solve problems between nobles and knights by means of duels.

Set the conditions for the battle, arrange for what happens after the victory or loss is won, and then compete squarely and one-on-one.

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

Sometimes, for example, a knight duels each other over a single woman and the winner marries him?

But not only was there such an inter-personal problem, but there was no duel in the past over even bigger matters such as nobility, the house of knights, or territory.

Unlike normal ones, those duels will be treated as divine duels.

As its name suggests, it is a duel to take an oath to God, and it is unacceptable to rebel after victory or defeat.

It's a tough thing to be certified as a Divine Enemy if you don't make the promise.

I demanded this divine duel against the Barca army.

If this is the case, there will always be victories and losses through one-on-one battles.

It's best to win this one, but in case you lose, you can only avoid losing your power.

It would also be possible to safely return the Dragon Knight Troops to their home countries for the suppression of conspiracy.

"On the occasion of the divine duel, I would ask His Holiness Ars Barca, the shield of God, to see the victory and defeat of the duel. I ask for an open and just judgment so that there is no objection to the sacred battle."

More importantly, there was hope that the biggest reason to sign up for this divine duel was that you might have to fight Ars Barca.

A divine duel is not just a duel.

Because of the nature of taking an oath against God and doing it, we really need a watchman.

It is customary for church officials to do so.

Let it be Ars Barca.

I caught an eye where his standing was very complicated.

It seems that in the Kingdom of Fontana he is somehow in the position of Minister of Finance, etc., he has already hidden in the Barca family and is not the Lord, and also has a position related to the Church called the Shield of God.

There will be no reason why he must take it against this offer of mine.

But if you refuse, you'll scratch his name.

The shield of God, Ars Barca, refuses the courtesy of the required divine duel, and has a reputation for fleeing the duel.

Out of his mind, I know he cares about his reputation.

You shouldn't be able to handle it badly, even if you think about doing something that would boost your reputation with something like radio.

I mean, it's hard for him to turn down this offer of a divine duel and its glance at a divine duel, should be.

And if he accepts it, he can't fight as a duel any more than he is a seer.

That is, there is ample possibility that we can win or lose against the Barca army without fighting Ars Barca.

This was my twisted operation.

Not unlikely to be turned down, but that's fine.

Only then, as usual, will there be a battle by the army.

Finally, there is no harm in suggesting just saying it.

Instead, if you refuse, you can suppose to lower the morale of your opponent by claiming it out loud.

So the commander of the Barca Army can say that he escaped the holy duel.

"Isn't that funny? Hey, Ars. Take this duel."

"Huh? Are you going to take it, brother Bite?

"Absolutely. You're on trial. I'm leaving."

"Are you serious? That woman, she looks pretty strong, but she's okay? Or you don't have to win or lose because of that."

"Fine, I'll take care of it. Hey, you. You sure you said something about Olivia? I'll take that offer. The duel is for me, Bite Van Balto. But there's one more condition. If I win, I'll have you, Olivia."

... Huh?

What did that man say now?

I almost overheard it.

Could it be that you are saying that you will bet on me in a divine duel that bets on territory?

In the divine duel I demanded, they pushed back unexpected demands the other way around, and I often stopped thinking.
