Overpowered Sword - Chapter 150
Overpowered Sword Chapter 150
Level up with the sword (150)
Beast King Barg.
The third man to reach the peak of the prairie. Since all three generations are related by blood, it is easy to suspect hereditary succession, but unlike humans, beastmen did not take hereditary succession based on bloodline for granted.
Apart from being treated as a member of the clan, the only way to obtain any position within the tribe was to fight for it directly.
The Beast King, the most supreme person in the steppe.
The same was true for positions separated from Hackapelle.
“Tsk!”
Taurus Chief Bulls, who had taken a few steps back without realizing it, gritted his teeth with an angry look on his face.
Despite the muscles that had always responded to his expectations, his instincts froze in the face of the absolute gap. Even if you grab the ax hanging from your belt, it won’t make much of a difference.
Barg’s military power was no longer at an insurmountable level.
‘You’ve become much stronger than 50 years ago, you monster…!’
The Bulls, whose hearts had been broken by momentum alone, swallowed dry saliva.
About 50 years ago, when Barg’s father, the previous Beast King, died suddenly, a vacant position was created.
The rule of the prairie is to respect one’s own strength.
At that time, no one paid attention to Varg because he was not even a master, so he was a biological relative. Although the power of the pureblood Fenrir tribe is great, it was not expected that he, who was only a young man, would be stronger than the chieftains of each tribe.
And the battle for the vacant seat of the Beast King began.
―Kaaaaaa! How could a young person like you…!
The chieftain of Urs, who had been openly looking down on Varg, lost one of his eyes and was left in a pitiful state.
―…I admit defeat. You and I don’t get along very well.
The leader of the Naga family, who was one step ahead, also raised his hands towards Varg, who was covering his head with blood.
Someone said
I just got lucky.
However, as Varg defeated the chieftains one by one, those who disparaged him gradually disappeared.
There was not a single easy fight.
Every time he won a victory over the chieftains, Varg’s body turned into a complete mess, both outside and inside, and he was on the brink of death. Nevertheless, without giving up or falling down, he overcame his limits again and again and finally reached it.
Aura Master.
Even the strongest man of the Tigris tribe bowed to him, who stepped into the five righteousness of and overtook the voice.
“―Khahahahaha!”
Unlike the chiefs of other tribes, he smiled cheerfully.
Huracan, representative of the Tigris people.
The head of the Tigris, where all members of the clan believe that struggle is the essence of life. In the steppe where he once clashed with Barg for the position of beast king, he was a strong man who could be counted among the three fingers.
“It’s been a while since you’ve shown yourself quite like a king! Cancer should be like that! “If you’re going to manipulate me over my head, it has to be like this!”
The 8-foot-long tiger stripes twitch menacingly. For a combat enthusiast who sees death as his final destination and feels pleasure in crisis, even fear was just a handful of seasoning.
Huracan chuckled and took a step forward, kneeling down on one knee and looking at Varg.
“ruler! Speak, my king! “Why are you so angry? Make us realize our foolishness!”
“If you want.”
Varg nodded once and stood up.
Then the pressure spreading out in all directions became even stronger, and moans escaped from the chieftains’ closed lips.
Varg didn’t care whether they suffered or not.
Because in this place, he was the strong one and they were the weak ones.
“I gave you freedom. Because the Beast King was originally the one who reigned, not the one who ruled. “Because I didn’t want to put back on the bridle that my grandfather had taken off with my own hands.”
Beast King.
The title was an honor praising the exploits of his grandfather, Hackapel, and at the same time meant a liberator. The beast people who threw off their slave collars first declared themselves as subjects and showed the utmost respect to their savior, earning the title ‘King’.
Therefore, Barg did not dare to oppress the prisoners with the authority of the king for fear of tarnishing his title.
“If you want war, fine. Claim it like that.”
Varg’s eyes scanned the chieftains standing in the main battle.
“If you want peace, fine. Claim it like that.”
Varg’s eyes scanned the chieftains standing in the Juhwa Sect.
“If you want to monitor the situation a little more, that’s fine. “I can give you as much time as you want to think.”
After carefully looking at the remaining neutral chieftains, Varg stopped talking.
But I do it.
His calm voice growled fiercely like an animal.
“Not only do I tolerate bickering with my children at the forefront, but I also do not tolerate interference in the decision through any means other than meetings! Therefore, Bastet, the tribe that broke the unwritten rules of the grasslands, will be completely excluded from this meeting!”
As his roar resounded, the faces of the chieftains belonging to the Juhwa Sect and the Chieftains belonging to the Jujeon Sect were divided into two colors.
The neutrals, who knew nothing, were just surprised.
The composition of the two forces has now changed from 4 to 4 to 3 to 4.
Since the Jujeon faction lost one tribe’s vote, it was at a disadvantage, so it was essentially a declaration in favor of the Juhwa faction.
Huracan chuckled openly and then asked a question.
“Then, my king, what happened to that fool, Felis?”
Varg looked back at him with grim eyes.
“I guess I’ll have to recuperate for a while.”
“Hahahaha! “Is this really medical treatment?”
In the end, Huracan couldn’t bear it all and burst into laughter.
On the contrary, the complexions of the chiefs turned pale.
‘Just hit it properly…?’
‘It’s a good thing he’s alive…’
‘How many times should I have beaten him…’
It was a sound that meant he had been beaten to the point where he could not function for a while. It was fortunate that Hathi wasn’t hurt. Otherwise, the Bastet tribe might have had to hold a meeting and elect a new chief first.
Only after declaring that did Barg’s momentum subside.
The tribal leaders were finally able to sit down around the round table, but it was clear that the initiative had been lost before the meeting even began.
Overwhelming force and declaration of exclusion from the Bastet tribe.
This is because two shocks swept over them.
“Come out.”
Barg said after confirming that the tribal leaders were seated.
“Skoll Hathi.”
At his call, the two siblings walked out.
Skoll naturally came to the side of the chieftains belonging to the Jujeon faction, and Hati came to the side of the chieftains belonging to the Juhwa faction.
The two forces sit opposite each other, increasing tension.
Even if they lost the Bastet tribe, the Jujeonpa tribes were more powerful than other tribes, so they were able to gather votes through force if necessary. It was not a stage where one could be evaluated as superior.
However, there was still one card left in Barg’s hand.
“Please come down all the way.”
As soon as Varg called, Leon and his group, who were sitting in the audience, jumped down around the round table.
The prisoners who saw them opened their eyes wide as they wondered who that was, and the tribal leaders, regardless of their faction, clearly showed signs of displeasure at the intrusion of humans.
Bulls, the chieftain of the Taurus, took the lead in the opposition.
“King! “It is not understandable to bring humans into a gathering hall on the prairie!”
“Hmm?”
Varg looked back at him with a sour face.
“They are the people who protected my daughter by stopping the Bastet tribe’s manipulations and brought me information about the nomads without expecting anything in return. Can you still say that you lack the qualifications?”
“Even so…”
“Huracan.”
“-hmm?”
Huracan, who was staring at Leon and his group as if they were possessed, answered a beat late.
“I ask you. Are they underqualified?”
“under! “Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since we last saw each other, but the king’s ability to joke has improved.”
At Huracan’s answer, the main soldiers blushed for a moment and then said,
“They are distinguished guests who may or may not come once in a hundred years. “It would be right to give them a grand welcome instead of judging their qualifications.”
I was at a loss for words at the remark, which I had no idea whose side I was on.
Bargman looked as if he knew that would happen.
Despite being a main battle tank and all, the Huracan is a pure battle fanatic. The reason I became the main fighter was to fight endlessly, but since I faced strong people like Leon and his group, I had no choice but to give that priority more.
“It’s decided. “I will invite adventurer Leon and his party to fill the void left by the Bastet tribe and determine the pros and cons of the 12 votes.”
Since they could not overturn what Hurakan, the strongest of the main battle groups, had said, the main battle tribes had to accept it with a shit-chewing face.
As Leon and the others sat down next to Hati, the expression became even more intense.
The tribal leaders’ meeting was just starting, but it felt like the unfinished results were already in sight.
“Now then, let’s start the meeting.”
Varg grinned as if mocking their situation.
* * *
As the saying goes, it begins with words and ends with the sword, and the beginning of the meeting of tribal leaders was a war of words. Persuading neutrals by suppressing the other party’s words using logic and verbal skills.
The representative of the main faction was Totuga, the chief of the bear beast Urus.
He was also an emerging powerhouse who defeated the one-eyed former chieftain.
“The desert bastards are coveting our land.”
It was a deep, deep voice that easily penetrated the ears and could resonate far away even without raising the voice.
“We sympathize with their situation, and they have been eating up the land we gave them a hundred years ago, and they have no shame in asking for more. “How long on earth do we have to put up with this begging?”
At his remark, someone said, ‘That’s right!’ He shouted.
It might be a windbreaker, but it might not be.
As Totuga said, the nomads invaded the steppe land little by little, and as more than a hundred years passed, the area expanded to an area that even the beastmen could not ignore.
Even though the land is of little use, if it is taken away by someone else, it will cause a stir, but the beast people were a race with a more sensitive concept of territory than humans.
“It’s war.”
Totuga’s soft voice shook the whole area.
“Let’s teach those weak desert bastards whose land they dared to invade. Let’s make them realize that we didn’t give in because we were weak, we just sympathized with them!”
As he shouted fiercely and raised his thick fist, the Urus people sitting in the audience cheered in unison.
It wasn’t just them.
Those who were displeased with the invasion of nomads and those who were bored with the peaceful life joined the trend. The faintly stagnating bad feelings become a big fire and burn with a few fan blows.
However, there were some who poured cold water on that atmosphere.
“Well, is there a need to go to war?”
Alice, the chief of the rabbit beast Lepus, tilted her head.
“I think it would be enough to just recruit enough people who are itching to show force. “Why bother going to a sandy field where there’s nothing to pick up and eat?”
There were those who agreed and responded with a lukewarm response.
They had no ill feelings toward the nomads and were not dissatisfied with their peaceful lives. Unlike prisoners who were born with warlike tendencies, they were satisfied with the status quo.
His attitude was that there was nothing he wouldn’t do if it was beneficial, but he didn’t want to suffer for something that wasn’t profitable.
And the third person to speak was the Capri tribe, one of the tribes of the Juhwa faction.
“It is enough for us to just strengthen our defensive posture.”
said Basil, the leader of the Capri tribe, wearing glasses like a scholar.
“If we attack the desert first, we will only suffer great damage in a land where food and water are scarce. “Our military power undoubtedly greatly surpasses that of the desert nomads, but there is no reason to fight in an unfavorable environment.”
Rather than outright denying the main propagation method, we point out several reasons why the method is wrong.
Is this also the case for those who were swayed by Totuga’s words and agreed to the war? It was a story that made me think.
Fourth was Hathi’s turn.
“Whoa.”
Taking over from Basil, she took a deep breath.
There were a lot of things I had prepared.
Hathi calmly looked around at his father and the ten tribal leaders, then stretched out his upper body across the table and said.
Shocking content that no one expected.
“-It’s war!”
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly turned upside down.
