Chapter 276
TL: xLorfFifthED:
“What? You belong to Fibiel-”
“Remove your finger off the trigger. I won’t repeat a third time.”
Leeha looked into Luger’s eyes. His blue eyes did not flinch. Is he supposed to release the trigger in this situation? It meant that he should not attack Alexander and Bailephus.
Telling a marksman to remove his trigger off the trigger is the same thing as telling a swordsman to put his sword into its sheath.
In other words, it was to stop fighting.
Luger, a citizen of Fibiel, was saying this to Leeha, another citizen of Fibiel.
‘This guy.......’
Is it a betrayal? Is it for self-interest? All sorts of thoughts were running through his mind.
Leeha’s index finger is still on the trigger. One bullet remained. No matter how crazy the situation was, it wasn’t enough to be unable to know the number of bullets in the magazine.
He could shoot.
‘However...’
Luger’s gun, of course, can it be called a gun?
His weapon was already in the cannon form. Even with the weapon change skill, he was aiming at Leeha. It was too naive to think that the shells were not loaded.
There was no way a marksman as good as Luger would not be able to detect Leeha’s movements. Even a slight twitch of his index finger would be detected.
Leeha thought about linking different skills, such as Soul Link and Force Barrier, but it was not enough. The distance is too close to do anything. Luger’s attack is too strong to be blocked with Force Barrier.
‘I can’t shoot, neither the dragon nor Luger. No, I can shoot either one of them but then.... Shit.’
It was worth a try, but it was a gamble with too much to lose with nothing to gain.
Silence suddenly filled the hill.
Not only the elites surrounding the hill, but none of the million users who watched the situation from afar could not understand the situation properly.
Fortunately, the person who had the most interaction with Luger barely stepped forward.
“What is this, Luger? I knew you were crazy about fighting-”
“Shut up, Kidd. Don’t come any closer.”
Luger’s words were firm. Kidd also flinched and stopped walking.
[Rapid fire] Kidd doesn’t lose to anyone. If he moved at this moment, would he be able to hit Luger?
‘About 70m. It’s my distance. I can hit with 100% accuracy. There’s no need to move. No one can beat him at quick draw, but Kidd couldn’t move his hands.
It was because he was not quite sure if he could kill Luger ‘without any damage’.
The moment Kidd pulls out his revolver, Luger will pull the trigger of the anti-tank rifle.
It was because of where the muzzle was pointed at.
‘If that happens, Leeha will die.’
Luger, Kidd, and Leeha were all Three Musketeers, but the time they spent together as Three Musketeers were different. Luger, who became the first of the Three Musketeers, exuded an atmosphere that overwhelmed the other two.
Flap- flap- flap-.
Alexander and Bailephus in the air were also watching the strange situation happening on the ground. The gold dragon still had the breath in his mouth.
[Luger. What is this?]
Bailephus also tilted his head and said with a breath in his mouth.
He wanted to shoot the breath right away to melt Luger and the others who had injured his body, but the gold dragon didn’t.
It was the limit of a ‘good alignment’ and ‘NPC’.
Since he could not understand Luger, who had suddenly approached and helped him, intentions, the gold dragon could not act recklessly.
Luger shouted without looking up.
“Alexander, take your pet’s breath away now. If he opens that mouth even a little bit, this gun will be pointed toward you.”
Luger was obviously showing hostility to the other side as well.
Everyone in the range where Luger’s voice could be heard was startled. Even Leeha and Kidd were startled for a moment.
It wasn’t until Alexander barely coughed that the gold dragon Bailephus responded.
That was why Ezwen, a small country with no other merits, could still survive in the continent, as Leeha once said.
Authority.
The absolute authority of the Holy City.
Of course, that authority is not used in ordinary situations. Unless it was a special situation such as a national war just like right now.
Hearing those words, Leeha did not easily lower his gun. Luger frowned and looked at Leeha.
“Remove your finger off the trigger.”
“Didn’t you say that you won’t repeat it for the third time, didn’t you just say it for the third time?”
Luger’s fingers twitched at Leeha’s provocation. Just before the pressure was applied to the trigger, Leeha spoke first.
He did not open his mouth because he was curious about the Holy City’s authority and its impact. Leeha raised a question about the balance breaker of this situation.
Leeha pointed to the existence that was currently a threat.
“Alexander! What is Alexander going to do! The gold dragon that Alexander is riding! That gold dragon is not human! Do you want to exercise the authority of a man to dismiss even the Gold Dragon?If you’re here to stop the battle, show your sincerity, Luger!”
Leeha’s voice came out explosively.
Leeha was flustered to see that everyone obediently listened to Luger’s words. Ezwen? The Pope? Excommunication? What about that! A gold dragon was in front of them!
No matter how Middle Earth was a game, the power of the Pope was limited to the human world! Lay down your weapon in front of an existence that could overwhelm humans? That was not an acceptable condition for Leeha.
Luger’s eyebrows wrinkled. Leeha’s statement made sense. The Pope cannot excommunicate dragons. The eyes of other users who only knew how to accept the settings but did not know how to apply them also enlarged.
“Bailephus.”
[What is in the letter, Luger?]
Alexander quietly called out Bailephus’ name, and Bailephus opened his mouth.
“It’s no use even if I say it. The moment the commander-in-chief of each country sees it, everyone will naturally know.”
[Does the Pope want peace in the human world?]
“Do you not know the urgency even with the name Mouth of the Abyss?”
Luger made an annoyed response, but Bailephus did not respond. The gold dragon thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
[Okay. I, Bailephus, the protector of order and executor of Justice, assure you that we will stop our attack on humans. Even if they had hurt me.]
Bailephus looked at Leeha.
Then he slowly bent his neck and looked at Lee Jiwon’s back, who moved secretly.
Leeha also vaguely heard it. The moment the gold dragon first appeared in Fibiel Camp, he said that he needed the united power of mankind.
In other words, the gold dragon will not break his promise. Yet his purpose was unknown.
Leeha lowered his weapon only after it reached that point.
Chiyou, who was grasping the situation through the crystal ball, bit her lips.
‘I asked where he was because he was not caught in the information network! What did you do, Luger?! The Pope’s messenger? You even have the right to excommunicate!’
Some people still haven’t been able to understand the situation properly, but Chiyou’s eyesight was three times faster than normal humans.
She could immediately understand what Luger’s appearance meant and the intention of appearing as Ezwen’s messenger and telling such a story.
Anyway, one thing was certain.
Luger was trying to break her meticulously crafted plan. It was what she found the most difficult.
“What is the letter about? It’s obvious what the Pope would say, but for what reason...”
Ewin stood by her side, focused on the content rather than the situation. For an NPC that exists only in Middle Earth, it was a natural reaction.
“Huhut, well. We’ll find out when he arrives. I......“
“Hmm? Where are you going?”
“I want to get some night air.”
Chiyou smiled brightly at Ewin and left the barracks. As she made a high, thin whistle, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside her.
“Did you call?”
“Call Petyr here.”
“What do you want to do?”
