first way.

an hour ago.

Roman looked at the nobles and said:

"The kingdom of Hector needs time now. Whether you use the Warp Gate to support your allies or bring in the Kronos Empire, you need at least 3 days for the Warp Gate to function properly. So there is no reason to overdo it as enemies. We are more likely to fight to the extent that we avoid choices that will cause variables and only counter our attacks."

inside the wall.

Hector hid.

If the high and hard walls could not be destroyed at once, pulling the enemy out was one way.

"The first way is to create a variable. As a great warrior, I will apply to the Hector Kingdom for a duel."

"It's reckless."

"There is now a Butler in the kingdom of Hector."

The reaction of the nobles was negative.

Butler.

who is he

Hector is the leader of the Royal Knights and is called the standard of knights.

He defeated numerous enemies with a fairly systematic swordsmanship and explosive 5-star aura, and a commoner butler enjoyed the honor of entering the Royal Knights with only his skills.

Now that he's getting older and he's refraining from outside activities, Butler was one of the most powerful people who recognized his name on the continent.

blast furnace.

At Roman's offer of a confrontation, the opponent's choice was obvious.

Count Fabius said.

"I am not denying that Roman Dmitry is strong. From the time he defeated the kingdom of Hector with a force of two hundred, no one could ignore the achievements of a man named Roman Dmitry. But isn't your opponent a Butler? Battle of the Great Warriors is a double-edged sword. When you win, you gain momentum and can take down your opponent at once, but if you lose, there is no way to recover the shock."

Yes. The opponent is no one else, but a Butler. How the hell do you beat a 5 star swordsman? I understand Roman Dmitry's will, but I don't think it's necessary to take any risks.

opinions were unified.

In order not to lose the talented Roman Dmitry, the three nobles first came together to persuade Roman.

to their reaction.

Roman laughed.

"I think the first method is valid because of your reactions now. Hector's Kingdom. They are no different from us. I'm sure Butler will win, and since it's a fight that I can't help but win, there's a chance I'll forget my original purpose and accept my offer. That is the beginning of the variable."

this operation.

It did not end with simply proposing a confrontation.

Roman Dmitry suppressed the opposition of the nobles with a strong tone.

"Trust me. The moment I defeat Butler, Hector's strong walls will crack."

and currently.

At Roman's suggestion, Hector's kingdom was in turmoil.

At the answer that did not come back readily, Roman raised his voice.

"We have no grudges against each other. No, to be precise, we could say that we were unilaterally damaged by Hector's purpose. But that's not an important issue. I hope that there will be no more meaningless blood, and that is why I want to end this war completely with the Battle of the Great Warriors."

Carrots out.

so as not to react to the fragrant smell.

Roman said the reward they wanted.

"If you win this battle. We will graciously accept the proposal of the kingdom of Hector. In return for the Southern Front, I will pay you as much compensation as you want. Conversely, when I win, immediately withdraw from Cairo's territory. That's the only condition I want. We have already made a decision at the end of the meeting, and if you guys accept the proposal, we will accept the outcome no matter what the outcome."

murmur murmur.

both sides.

There was a riot.

It was a radical proposal to put an end to the war, and the aftermath of it had no choice but to spread everywhere.

'Butler.'

Hector's second-ranked swordsman.

a strong opponent

Roman has developed rapidly, but the five-star swordsman was not yet able to handle Roman Dmitry's body.

A short battle in the mountains.

That experience showed how strong Butler was.

It was an opponent who could never be sure of victory, but for that reason, he had a strong sense of victory.

'It is well worth risking your life for in this battle.'

The life of a fighter.

don't want comfort

He had to fight constantly, and if he found an existence stronger than himself, he had to destroy the opponent to release his character.

Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk.

The apex of magic was derived from desire.

If Baek Joong-hyeok had wanted to settle down in the present and live a comfortable life, he would not have thought of crushing the captain's head with a stone when he fell into Cave 12 in the first place.

By bowing your head, you don't have to take risks instead of throwing away your pride.

In a situation where he could normally live like everyone else, Baek Joong-hyuk was always one step ahead.

It was still the same

If Butler is a strong being.

will surpass him.

He will trample on him and prove his strength once again.

Roman exclaimed.

"I know your thoughts. Now that the negotiations with Cairo have broken down, you are probably trying to bring in outside forces to solve your own problems. If the Kronos Empire is targeting the territory of Hositamtam Cairo, it will try to occupy the southern front even at a huge reward. However, sufficient time is required to connect the warp gate. If you don't accept my offer. Even at the risk of damage, I will destroy the rear positions within three days. I will slaughter all of you who dare invade Cairo's territory, and torture the survivors until they ask you to kill them.

it was a whip

put the opponent in a corner.

By revealing the Cairo Kingdom's options in advance, they said what the cost of their choices was.

"I'll give you exactly ten minutes. I hope you make a wise decision in it."

took a step back

There is no need to rush.

from now on.

It was Hector's turn to choose.

above the wall.

Hector's soldiers murmured.

They vowed to resist with their lives, but they all saw one person at the possibility of survival that came out of nowhere.

It was Butler.

in the eyes of people.

Butler approached Edwin Hector and said,

"I will fight."

"It is not allowed."

"Commander! Roman Dmitry already understands our intentions. Now that the fact that you are trying to make a deal with the Kronos Empire is discovered, you don't know what will happen. Trust me just once. I will behead Roman Dmitry and return to find a way for the kingdom of Hector to live."

It was a voice with a strong will.

Butler didn't push his back.

He was truly ready to risk his life for the kingdom of Hector, and Roman's offer was an irresistible temptation.

However.

Edwin Hector shook his head.

"It's not that I don't trust you. Hector's Royal Knights Commander, Butler. I think you can definitely defeat Roman Dmitry with your skills. The problem is that you and I, everyone in this room knows that fact. The Roman Dmitry we experienced is not an unpredictable kid. We dare not look into the depths of the abyss, and we lost 700 of Hector's soldiers while being swayed by Roman Dmitry overnight. He asked us to fight because he was sure of winning. I don't think I can bring you down with my skills, but Roman Dmitry definitely has a plan.

I don't know Roman's plan.

but.

He was just reliving the experience of defeat.

Even when he was certain of victory, he faced a devastating defeat, so Edwin Hector could not accept the obvious trap.

Butler said.

"Commander. No, my prince. After I joined the Royal Knights, I have lived with the prince for the rest of my life. What kind of person does the prince remember? Were you a coward who stepped back for fear of defeat and didn't even try because he was worried about the opponent's trap? The fact that Roman Dmitry has special plans is to be expected. But I am the commander of the Hector Royal Knights. The Roman Dmitry I experienced was one step below me, and I'm confident I'll shatter whatever he prepares.

knelt down on one knee

He appealed in a hot, seething voice, and asked for Edwin Hector's consent.

in that enthusiasm.

Edwin Hector was speechless.

Butler is right.

Although he is old now, Butler in his high-spirited days was more warlike and tougher than anyone else.

Numerous challenges.

He passed the risk of death countless times.

Overcoming the process, Butler became a five-star swordsman, and made his name known as a powerful force recognized by the continent.

'You can never beat Butler with Roman Dmitry's skills. If so, their only option is to dig a trap and defeat the Butler. If such a thing happens. The kingdom of Hector gets a cause. With the cowardice of our enemies as a problem, we can create a platform to get what we want.'

I had a headache.

A musty smell lingered on the tip of his nose.

Recalling the moment when the soldiers were cremated, the words did not come out.

But.

Just as Butler was a precious person to him, he needed a decision to save the kingdom of Hector.

Edwin Hector said.

"Promise me one thing."

"Say it."

"If you notice any strange signs, run away immediately. i don't want to lose you Can you promise me that?"

Okay.

Butler stood up.

the sun went out

Hector's giant spoke with his eyes unshakable even in the eyes of many people.

"Then I will go."

* * *

squeaky.

The door opened.

At the sight of Butler walking forward, the battlefield sank into silence as if cold water had been poured on it.

one step.

one step.

I got closer to Roman.

When he finally reached a distance where it would not be strange to attack at any time, Butler said.

I've seen a lot of crazy people in my life, but I've never seen a guy like you. tell me in advance I will do my best. I don't know what kind of trap they have prepared, but if you came out with a good attitude, turn around now. If you do that, you will save your life."

Shh.

drew his sword

Even though he hadn't taken a pose yet, he exuded a cool momentum.

Roman laughed.

"I promise you one thing. Diligent justifications aren't really that important to me. The moment I met you and the sword on the mountain. I hoped to see you fight till the end. At that time, the situation was not good and I had no choice but to step back, but now I have created a stage where no one is disturbed."

Hector's Kingdom.

I saw people thinking about their proposal.

understood.

It must have been difficult to come forward because I had already been hit once.

However.

There were no pitfalls in the first place.

"One sword is all I have. There is no plan to trap you, and I only want to see a match against you. So do your best. If you kill me here, you can get what you want."

Moment.

Butler grinned.

It was expected, but the opponent always exceeded expectations.

"Crazy bastard."

No more words were needed.

no matter who comes first.

Park.

Papak!

They ran towards each other, towards each other.
