The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 302
Episode 302:
Negotiations (2)
The meeting place was set up in the exact center of the plain.
In fact, it was a somewhat embarrassing place to even say that something had been prepared.
A white tent erected after clearing away the muddy slush of melted snow.
I put Vinokharas and Hael on the Terkiod and flew towards there.
-I will wait for your order with the blue sky as my friend, father.
“Okay, don’t be too friendly.”
The red dragon’s massive body flew up again.
I planted the imperial army’s flag into the ground.
‘In the previous episode, you came to negotiate with Lapishan carrying the flag of the revolutionary army, but this time you came with the flag of the imperial army?’
As the commander-in-chief of the imperial army.
I felt strange again.
As I approached the tent, I saw people breaking their necks and lifting their heads to look up at the sky.
The three middle-aged men and women looked slightly younger than those seen in previous episodes.
‘Deputy Commander Erec Kaid, Border Guard Commander of Montana Walt, Archbishop Handel Frei.’
It was the same list I had received in advance.
I smiled quietly.
‘It’s been a while.’
But I suppressed those words inside.
Because it was a lost time that no one on the other side would remember.
Tensed gazes returned to me, as if they had confirmed that Terkiod was circling widely in the sky.
In terms of rank, this agreement should have been led by Erek Kaid.
But unexpectedly, there was someone else who was the first to speak.
“Are you Prince Gilroshan?”
At first glance, she is a middle-aged woman with a peaceful appearance.
However, the right side of his waist was filled with a large half-moon sword, and he had only one left arm left.
It meant warrior.
< Handel Frye >
[Character] Archbishop of Aeolem Archdiocese, belonging to the revolutionary camp. He once came close to the level of the Nine Stars, but was seriously injured during the battle and withdrew from the front lines. Despite his benevolent appearance, he is a cool-headed and thorough commander.
This was the woman I met as soon as I entered Aurax in the previous episode.
I nodded, looking into her face.
“That’s right. I am Gilroshan.”
“nice to meet you. “My name is Archbishop Handel Frei, and I serve Aeolem.”
“Nice to meet you Archbishop.”
It was at that moment that a subtle change was noticed.
There was a movement of pulling the right foot back, although it was so slight that it was difficult to notice.
Just about half a step.
And the upper body turned slightly.
It was a movement very similar to the preparatory posture for the ‘Philonemoke Holy Sword Technique’ that Handel Frei would have mastered.
‘uh? ‘Look at this?’
Was this a joke from the first episode?
The moment I raised my magic power from Eternal Heart while frowning slightly.
A shout came from next to me.
“About Me!”
Hael was stepping forward instead.
The line just now was a bit awkward and funny, but the momentum was truly terrifying.
Above all, she was able to embarrass three people with just her presence.
As expected, all facial expressions were stiff.
Of course so.
“It’s true.”
“Ah, an armored clone… and of course, the commander’s model!”
“….”
The artificial body that Hael is currently taking on.
This was because it was none other than an armored clone created based on information from Jerez Magria.
The archbishop sighed.
“Let’s go in and introduce ourselves.”
Handel Fry is quick to point out that he just made a joke as if he was going to pull out a sword.
She turned back and gestured toward the tent.
It was as if nothing had happened.
“Wow, isn’t the nervousness already a joke? “What if there’s a real fight?”
Vinokharas was shaking his eyebrows next to me.
I smiled, patted the guy’s head, and then opened my mouth.
“What should I do? “If there’s a fight, you have to fight, man.”
I don’t know what they think, but I was the one holding the sword in this game.
And I was a very good wielder of that sword.
* * *
As soon as I sat down, a system message came to mind.
Actually, I was expecting it.
[An unexpected event, ‘Peace Deal’ occurs.]
It was an event that appeared when commanders of hostile camps held a meeting.
An event with a very simple purpose.
[Do not hesitate to use any means possible to get as much as possible from the other person.]
It means to shake it all off.
It was an area I was particularly confident in.
“I am Erek Kaid, Deputy Commander of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic.”
“Border Patrol Captain Montana Walt.”
“…Hael.”
“Vinokaras. “It’s not a human, it’s a black dragon.”
“Yes…?”
The embarrassed looks were quite a sight to see.
The three people looked intently at Vinocaras and repeatedly exchanged glances with each other.
Everyone seemed to quickly realize that she was not an ordinary girl.
Piyong giggled.
“For your information, my name is Yongeon, which means ‘eternal night.’ Look, Dad. Good thing you changed your name. “It was so cool that everyone was moved, right?”
“Two dragons…?”
“Daddy?”
“So, the prince became the father of the black dragon?”
It’s fun.
I looked at them and smiled.
“Hmm, are you that curious about that? Then, suggest the conditions. “If the conditions are right, we will tell you about us.”
It meant coming to your senses.
We were adversaries who met for the purpose of resolving the armed conflict that took place on this plain.
It was impossible to create a good atmosphere where people could talk about other things.
“I’m sorry. “I was confused for a moment because I had only seen dragons polymorph into human form in the records.”
Handel Frei slightly lowered his head.
Yet, it was difficult to take your eyes off Vinocaras.
Meanwhile, Erek Kaid and Montana Walt had very complicated expressions.
“….”
“Keuung.”
In particular, the reaction from Montana Walt was fierce.
They close their eyes tightly, sigh deeply, and make a fuss as they think about something.
I met him in person in the previous episode and he was a very down-to-earth and honest person.
‘He was a very different kind of person from Erek Kaid, who was hiding a dark side. It means there’s definitely something there.’
You are facing a 9-star wizard and a sword master at the same time.
You shouldn’t be nervous.
I slightly moved away from the table and checked the position of the sword hilt.
Then the real story began.
“Prince Giloshan, our revolutionary army would like to propose a ceasefire. “The imperial army will not be held responsible for the ‘viper’ incident that occurred in the fortress city on the Halhendra Plains, so we will stop fighting.”
The ‘viper’ incident in the fortress city.
It was a big incident that also appeared in the original < Sin.Buse > game.
The fortress city on the Halhendra Plain was one of the revolutionary army’s important strongholds, and the Magic Empire attempted various operations to recapture or collapse it.
One of them was ‘Operation Viper’, which incited citizens to bring down the person in charge of the fortress city.
‘The problem is that the mastermind was discovered after the operation, giving the revolutionary army an excuse to start a war…’
That also turned around when I captured Gilad Gordin.
Even if you get hit with a punch, if you avoid that guy’s fist and grab it and break it, you’re in luck.
I caught the jangttaeng and smiled.
“Just hold them accountable.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Let’s fight like we used to fight. “There’s nothing to be afraid of about the Empire, right?”
“….”
This message was simple.
Fighting for justification doesn’t work.
If you are not willing to deal pragmatically with me, I will throw this over.
Handel Frei, who couldn’t possibly have understood what I meant, eventually sighed heavily.
“I will hand over the fortress city. This is the area the empire has wanted so much, right? “Take it.”
[Opponent suggested ‘Halhendra Fortress City’.]
Okay. First of all, I received one.
I grinned.
Of course, just inside.
“Are you giving up a city that is difficult to maintain control of because of the archbishop’s sabotage? It seems to me that if this war continues as it is, the fortress city will fall into the hands of the empire.”
“Prince! “You have to think about the resources and lives that will be sacrificed in war!”
“But the battle started there, right? Archbishop Handel Frei?”
“….”
“Don’t be mistaken. Halhendra Fortress City is not subject to negotiation. That is ‘obviously subject to transfer’. If you want a ceasefire, offer more than that.”
I had planned it that way from the beginning.
There was no intention of continuing the war, but it was a self-evident fact that if the situation continued like this, the fortress city would become imperial territory.
So, I argued that the fortress city was a condition that I had to accept.
“Haa…”
The archbishop sighed lightly.
She glanced into my eyes and then glanced at Erek Kaid.
A look of embarrassment.
“All right. We will make concessions and transfer the Halhendra fortress city to the empire without conditions.”
“yes.”
I answered briefly.
He had captured the subtle currents among the leaders of the revolutionary army.
What are you really up to?
-Terkiod?
-Yes father. I am listening.
-Take a closer look at the revolutionary army’s camp. If you see anything strange, tell me right away.
-All right.
I sent a message to Dongryong.
And then I threw it at the archbishop who was waiting for me to present my conditions.
“I would like to make a counter-offer to you.”
“A counteroffer?”
“It’s a counter-proposal to repatriate prisoners. Especially about Titan Special Captain ‘Gilad Gordin’.”
“Oh my…”
Vice President Erek Kaid, who had been silent the whole time as if he was trying to distract himself, sighed and muttered.
He came forward to replace Handel Frei, whose expression was stiff.
“A counteroffer means you tell us what you can give?”
“Exactly.”
In other words, the idea was to make a ‘preemptive offer’.
If you like the conditions, Captain Gordin will be released, but if you don’t like them, nothing happens.
“Please note that Captain Gordin’s condition is not good right now and he may be executed soon. I also don’t want one of the continent’s sword masters to disappear.”
This was sincere.
Although there were ups and downs, I learned quite a bit from hanging out with him in the previous episode.
I really didn’t want Gilad Gordin to go out in vain.
“….”
The three people were locked in silence.
For a moment, very complex looks were exchanged between them.
And at the edge, a vague murderous intent passed by.
Handel Frei, who had been taking the lead in the negotiations throughout, had a change in his eyes.
It was right then.
-father! Strange divine power has been detected from the enemy side on the ground!
-divine power? which?
-I don’t know, but it felt secretive, as if the thick fog at the dock was hiding the fishing boats…
It was a very strange analogy.
But one thing popped into my head.
Another god who supports the revolutionary army along with Aolem.
‘Kisiris, the goddess of deception.’
Where is Philippa Jane, the head of the Church of Kissiris, now?
Your rival, Handel Frei, is here representing the revolutionary army, but won’t he play any role?
‘With that old woman’s holy magic, an army can be hidden.’
Because he is the closest person to the goddess who governs deception.
Could it be that you were hiding this?
-Terkiod, come back right away.
Maybe this place is inside the tiger’s jaw.
