Chapter 86 The Empire wants to negotiate (2)

Three days have passed since the occupation of the central city of Liducia. The amphibious forces were preparing quickly for the next battle, and the Allied forces, who were later to be handed over, were approaching the city at a rapid pace.

“When is Lord Erina coming? ”

Seong-jun looked at Luto and asked. After lunch, the two of them were walking along a promenade inside the territory.

“I received word yesterday that I crossed the border in the province of Foreign Affairs and entered the province of Ryducia. ”

Ruto says Erina is on her way here. Seong-jun and the Landing Army were waiting for her in the battle against the next Empire force.

It was natural for one more swordsman, a weapon of war, to be of great help.

The landing troops couldn't move at once because they needed rest, restoration, and supplies.

“The Warp Gate is under control, but you will arrive shortly. ”

“Well, that's a relief. ”

At Luto's words, Seong-jun nodded. I wanted to move as soon as Erina joined the army and was ready.

Jeongchul and Hangyu said they need to engage in a rapid maneuver close to the power outage from now on. In their opinion, Seong-jun also agreed.

“Shall we go back? Sir Ruto, this should be enough for a post-meal walk. ”

I walked for about 30 minutes. I've had a lot of nutritious conversations over the years, but it's time to get back to work. Luto nodded in response to Seong-jun's suggestion.

“I agree. Let's go back. ”

It was the moment I was about to move into the barracks. The familiar ridge is approaching from afar.

Seong-jun turned his head in the direction of feeling the arrogance. There was a train coming from that direction.

“Guild Master! I have an urgent report! ”

“What's going on? ”

Jeongchul hurriedly narrows down the street. When Seong-jun asked, he quickly looked around and opened his mouth.

“I've sent an envoy from the Empire. It is said to have already arrived near the central city of Liducia. ”

“What? Oh my……. ”

Seong-jun's impression was crumpled all at once. Sending an emissary to this situation was an obvious act of impure intent to buy us another day.

It is unlikely that we will be able to carry out a proper attack operation while we are making time for a negotiation.

‘Emperor...'... You used your head a bit. ’

Seong-jun, who had memories from his previous life, knew that the emperor was a wise man.

I hate to admit it, but he turns his head fast. It was my ability to analyze situations quickly and come up with solutions.

“Sung-joon Kang. I don't think you need to think too soon. We haven't reorganized the military yet, and Lord Erina hasn't joined us yet. It's only a matter of returning it to us before our preparations are complete. ”

Luto said, Seong-jun felt the same way. If the mission was interrupted, it was a matter of removing it as soon as possible. Soon his gaze shifted from Luto toward the train.

“Jung-cheol, when do you think the mission will arrive? ”

“It looks like they're using the warp gate to move around. We should be arriving in the central city of Liducia by 7: 00 this afternoon. ”

“Okay, you keep an eye on the mission's trajectory and time in real time, then report back to me. ”

“I understand.”

The conversation with Jeongchul is over. His gaze returned to Luto.

“Lord Luto, have you contacted the Royal Alliance? ”

“Yes. I didn't believe it at first, but you're not an idiot, so I'm sure you got the information. Right now, I'm pressuring the northern border of the empire with all my troops. With this, the Northern Guard and the Western Guard were tied up. ”

“The Southern Self-Defense Force is keeping the Liberation Army at bay... … The Eastern Self-Defense Force is under the command of Earl Fade. ”

“Yes, it is. We have intel that the Eastern Guard has received an armed order, but nothing will happen. Most of the Eastern Guards follow the orders of Count Fade rather than the Imperial Court. They won't accept weapons. ”

After the Northern Self-Defense Force, the larger Eastern Self-Defense Force was originally the place where it maintained its front with the Tribe.

Although most of the troops are now armed or unarmed, there were still many.

And since most of them had been hunting magic with the late Fae, they often complained about their alliance with the tribe.

“Let me check one thing. How many troops in the Eastern Guard would follow Count Fade's orders thoroughly? ”

“Maybe seven. Since ancient times, Earl Fade has been planning a militarization while the Empire's gaze on the Eastern Front has been neglected. ”

The Eastern Imperial Guard has a massive body of over a million. Seven hundred thousand, if you will.

“Tell them to accept their orders. ”

“Seong-jun Kang? With border security at least 700,000 people headed this way, can you handle it? ”

“Sir Luto. Earlier, you said that there were 700,000 people following the orders of Count Fade. Shouldn't we march them to Phileas, where the capital city of the Empire is? Earl Fade would have enlisted the Eastern Guard for today. ”

“Ah… I didn't think of that……. ”

Luto's voice trembles. Even in the Liberation Army, even as Operations Chief, it hurt his pride that his brain was hardened for a short time and he could not advance this plan further.

“That's okay. You can make mistakes. You don't have to repeat the same mistake. ”

Seong-jun said.

“Right now, I'm transferring it to the Eastern Guard. ”

“Perhaps Earl Fade will send a message first. ”

Seong-jun's expectations were correct. Before Ruto makes his move, a call from the Eastern Self-Defense Force Commander, Warden Fade, arrived first.

The Eastern Self-Defense Force received the Treasury Minister and contacted the Philippines province where the capital was located.

Everything was going as expected from Seong-jun. If there is one exception, it is the mission.

“Guild Master! The mission will arrive soon. ”

The train came into the room and reported. When I checked my watch, it was more than 6 pm. It seems to have arrived a little earlier than expected by the train.

“Ready?”

“It's all over. We've assigned people who can speak the second language first. ”

“Good job. Let's go. ”

Seong-jun took a step with Jeong Cheol. Shortly after, I could see the envoy coming into the territory.

The number was about 30. The man who stood in front of them and took a step was the one who knew Seong-jun.

‘Bird of Elt……. ’

A master of diplomacy and circumcision has arrived. The Liberation Army's chief of operations, Ruto, is said to be there, but I don't think he can handle his remarks.

Once this happened, it was best to get him out of here as soon as possible.

“I'm here to negotiate. ”

Negotiations started. One hell of an hour. Elt was a better man than I thought.

He did his best to lead the negotiations to their advantage, but it was important that both the Landing Army and the Empire were not willing to negotiate in the first place.

Now the seemingly time-warp begins. Seong-jun, who is worse than me, opened his mouth to look at Elt.

“If you're going to keep this up, you'd better leave. ”

I let it slip away, raising my voice.

“Negotiations like this don't help at all. ”

Luto said something. With more negative opinions, Elt could no longer stand it.

He eventually left the city centre with the mission. Seong-jun thought that everything would be over like that.

It was getting closer to midnight than 11pm one day. Seong-jun was lying in a room at the Yeongju Mansion while organizing the remaining thoughts through false negotiations.

- At ease, Lord. I'll stand guard.

Lischevalt said, "Seong-jun fell asleep, covering his sheets with a smile." And how long has it been?

- Joo-gun!

I awoke from my sleep with Rishbalt's warning. I could feel it coming from somewhere. The exact location was unknown.

However, the vague flow of life explained that wily masters had impure intentions.

“Transform!”

It became a ring shaped sword of Roel, and it was in his right hand. At the same time, four black figures protruded through the wall in four directions.

“Special Forces.... ”

It's easy to see that all four of them are certified swordsmen. No member of the 13th Knights could have made such a secret move.

Seong-jun assumed that they were in the Special Forces.

“You are under no obligation to answer. ”

“Welcome, gladiator!”

You shout, wielding your sword in fear of hearing the Special Forces swordsman's answer. 100 welcome swords were scattered all around.

The swords dodged in a dazzling move, or swung their swords at themselves.

‘Dammit! They're not worth it! ’

Seong-jun uttered profanity. They dodged and defended the welcome sword, as well as a deadly counterattack.

Immediately, Seong-jun's priest's uniform was torn and red blood spurted out. It was not fatal, but it was enough to restrict movement.

“Lord!”

The door opens and the chimeric knights, Zoid and Toben, rush in. They were SSS-class talents in the Knights Brigade, but they became closer to the sword when they were converted into chimeras by Zeros. When they joined, Seong-jun had a little time to spare.

“Heel!"

He immediately used his heels to heal his wounds.

“Indeed, the life force of a cockroach! ”

One swordsman confronts two Chimera Knights and three others point their swords at Seongjun. They put a dazzling sword on Seong-jun.

Magic debris splattered all over the place as the blades collided more than 100 times per second.

The Special Forces swordsmen also transformed the error and deliberately left a residual image and used advanced techniques to distract their gaze, oppressing him. But he didn't collapse so easily.

The White Devil's power is better than I thought! ’

I never thought I'd stop three swordsmen from passing! ’

Scary bastard! ’

It was in the minds of three swordsmen who passed. They were frightened by the fact that Seong-jun's strength was stronger than they thought. Even if it was the same sword, I didn't know it would be like this.

“Welcome sword!”

“Khhh!”

One of the Special Forces swordsmen made a gap for a moment and didn't miss Seong-jun. The welcome sword is complete, and the Special Forces swordsman stands back, splattered with blood. You are critically wounded.

“Stand back, stop the bleeding and join us! We got this! ”

“I won't let you do that. ”

Blade pours down from the sky with a faint voice.
