Chapter 12-1

!

At Ottos words, the knights of the Iota Estate, including Camille, stiffened.

What did I just hear?

Camille doubted his hearing.

But he didnt hear it wrong.

Why dont you just hand over your lordship and leave? Just surrender, its easier for both of us.

Otto said to Michael.

Surrender.

Michael replied, looking very stern, completely different from before.

You expect me to surrender to someone like you, who is not even worthy of being a monarch?

The moment.

BOOM!

The knights of the Iota estate, including Camille, stood up from their seats and drew their swords.

Is this what you meant when you told us to attend in armour?

Camille suddenly realised the reason for the order.

How did you know?

But Michael, no, Condor, barely blinked, turning to Otto.

We, Orth, and you, Iota, have had but little contact; did any of you know my face?

Come on, we often met, I think we met hundreds of times.

What do you mean?

I mean exactly what I said.

Otto smiled bitterly.

Weve met a lot, many many times.

Condor is one of the most troublesome bosses in early play, right after Pizarro and Nazrak.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

It was also the last obstacle I had to overcome before I could become a fully-fledged force to be reckoned with.

I dont know what the hell youre talking about, I dont remember meeting you, Otto de Scuderia.

Yes, yes, of course you do.

Insolent b**tard.

The condor rose from his seat.

Today will be the last time you and I meet.

Will it be?

Otto looked back at Camille.

Camille, I have chosen you!

?

I chose you?!

What are you talking about?

Fight him!

I see.

Camille felt bad for some reason, but for now, he stepped towards Condor.

Camille. Ive heard that hes a worthless man to be a lord of the Iota estate. Wouldnt you rather be my vassal than suffer under such an idiot?

Otto called out to Camille, who was running after the condor.

But.

Its dangerous to chase him.

Otto calmed the disappointed Camille.

Thats probably a trap.

I see.

Good work.

Otto patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.

You dont look so good, Dont get your pride hurt.

I know.

Camille nodded.

But its also true that your opponent is much stronger than you.

Thats true.

What about these guys what should I do?

Camille asked, gesturing to the subdued Orth people.

No need to kill them, just imprison them.

They were the ones who tried to kill our lord.

I know.

They deserve to be executed.

I know.

And yet you show them mercy?

Do I look like Im showing mercy?

Startle!

Camille was surprised by the eeriness in Ottos expression.

Killing them would only increase their antipathy. Condor would want me to kill them.

Thats Are you afraid?.

If we kill them, well only be helping the Condor. And.

Otto added.

You dont have to go after them and kill them.

Why do you think that?

I told you, it gets messy when people are in groups.

Are you trying to force Condor to make an irrational actions?

Exactly.

Otto nodded.

What we need to do is not kill the condor, but induce him to behave in a way that loses public support.

Ah!

Camille exclaimed in pure amazement.

He had never, ever, ever thought that Ottos thoughts had gone that far.

When a man is cornered, hes bound to make a mistake, and well just have to wait it out. Itll be a bit of a hassle, but dont worry, I have a plan.

I understand.
