I’m Here to End This Fight - Chapter 397

Episode 397. The Belgrade War (12)

The moment May Winchester met with the mountain man.

Teresia’s head turned north.

In the midst of their conversation, Gunther asked her question as if he found her reaction strange.

“Why are you doing that?”

“… No, I just thought someone called me.”

Teresia turned her head as if nothing had happened and her gaze turned to Yuri.

“So, you were originally on your way to Frompel District to bring Yohan’s sword?”

“Well, that’s true.”

Teresia heard about what had happened from Yuri late because she had no time to organize the situation.

How did Yuri survive the collapse of the labyrinth three years ago?

When did he return to the cradle after that?

Also, what was John’s end like in the third challenge of the sword and swordsmanship that followed before graduation?

Then finally, after graduating from the cradle, he formed a mercenary group and arrived in Belgrade.

Teresia was impressed by the colorful story that was by no means short, even though it was quite concise.

‘Wow… It’s surprising in so many ways.’

If what Yuri experienced after the collapse of the labyrinth was a surprise that made you think, ‘There are things like this in the world?’

After graduating from the cradle, Yuri’s actions for about four months made people wonder, ‘She’s still the same?’

‘Yuri is still causing trouble.’

Or maybe he just goes around looking for places where accidents happen.

There were always surprising things around him.

When Theresia was so impressed.

“But why are you here, senior?”

“Ah, that’s… … .”

In response to Gunther’s question, Theresia also briefly explained her circumstances.

This is the story of how he entered this war as a mercenary to find a way out of the stagnant growth that was blocked by a wall.

Upon hearing this, Yuri’s eyes sparkled slightly.

“mercenary?”

“huh.”

“Did you receive the mercenary badge?”

“of course.”

Yuri smiled happily at Teresia’s answer.

“One less annoying process.”

“… … ?”

Teresia tilted her head at Yuri’s monologue.

On the other hand, Gunther nodded with a satisfied expression, saying, “We’ll have a new youngest soon.”

Then Arin asked another question.

“But Senior Tessya, why did you go to the Aniston family?”

Teresia flinched slightly at Arin’s question.

At the same time, the pupils shake slightly.

But no one noticed it because the whole process disappeared in an instant.

“…because of training.”

“Cultivation?”

“Yeah, Aniston is from a family of window-dressers, so I thought it might help break down the wall. My aunt also recommended it.”

Gunther reacted to Theresia’s story.

“If you are my senior’s aunt… are you talking about the Shadow Queen?”

“that’s right.”

“By any chance… is that person here too?”

Gunther’s gaze was mixed with anticipation.

Shadow Queen, May Winchester.

A genius among geniuses who reached the rank of master before he even turned fifty.

Some even chose her as the next generation’s strongest swordsman, following in the footsteps of Geomju and Bujeolgeom.

It was only natural that Gunther would be interested in such a May.

Although Gunther had personally seen the swordsman and the swordsman, they were people from a completely different world from him.

Beings outside of reality that cannot be reached no matter how hard you try.

Is it like an imaginary creature from a legend?

May Winchester, on the other hand, was different.

She became a celebrity relatively recently, and unlike her predecessors, she had a sense of reality.

Moreover, she was at the forefront of the era in which she would live.

So I wanted to meet May Winchester at least once.

Teresia slightly shook her head at Gunther’s expectant question.

“No, I’m the only one here.”

Although she said she would join later, there has been no news from May yet.

‘Where on earth are you and what are you doing?’

I wasn’t worried because he was originally a free-spirited person, but I was still curious about what he was doing.

“…okay.”

Gunther is disappointed with Theresia’s answer.

Leaving him behind, Teresia looked around and asked.

“But is this okay for us?”

Currently, she was riding in a cart pulled by Poppy.

The problem is the people following behind.

To Teresia’s worries, Yuri answered in a dull voice.

“what?”

“Those people… Is it okay to leave them like that?”

“I didn’t ask you to follow me, so what does it matter?”

After somewhat settling the situation in the rear, Yuri led the group back to the front.

Because in order to go and at least pretend to fight, we had to start off slowly.

It was natural for Theresia to join the group, but Yuri did not expect others to follow her.

Moreover, the unexpected guest was none other than Arin Al Gikli and other members of the prestigious Belgrade families.

When they heard that Yuri’s party was leaving for the front, they received permission from their unit commander to break away from the rear unit.

Judging from the ominous aura that was emanating from somewhere, it seemed like he had gained some enlightenment through this attack.

Of course, there’s no way Yuri would care about such trivial things.

There was only one thing he cared about.

‘It’s a bit annoying that you keep chasing me, but it’s a good excuse.’

Yuri, who originally tried to make an excuse that she was injured while trying to block a surprise attack from the rear and was late in joining the front.

But this time, thanks to the baggage that followed us, the time of joining was delayed on its own.

‘At this rate, we’ll probably arrive in about five or six days.’

By then, the outcome of this war will be roughly outlined.

Yuri laughed and shouted.

“Poppy, push gently, gently!”

***

A loud noise echoed through the barracks as the chair fell backwards.

“What are you talking about! The troops that went to support the rear have returned?!”

The main character of the scream is Uli Giclee.

The one who reported his shock quickly continued speaking.

“The messenger and reinforcements sent to the rear have returned, and Petra has asked us to gather in the conference room right away to give you more details.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

As soon as I received the report, I headed straight to the conference barracks.

The leaders who had already heard the news were gathered there.

As soon as Uli Giclee sat down in his seat, he started asking questions.

“What does this mean? The messenger and reinforcements have returned?”

At Woolley’s question, everyone else’s gaze turned to Petra.

Because they too were curious.

Under the gaze of the audience, Petra handed over the letter and brief report she had received to Uli Giclee.

A sigh escaped from Woolley, who quickly confirmed this.

“Is this… true?”

“I have verified that the seal on the letter is that of Stig Nodin, who is in charge of the rear, and the handwriting of Prince Al Giclee enclosed is also genuine.”

“hmm…….”

“Also, after cross-checking the contents of the letter with the words of the messenger who returned after seeing the situation… it is certain that it is true.”

Hearing those words from Petra, Eunwoo sighed.

“Huh, they really did a surprise attack on our rear? And not only did they stop the surprise attack with just four people, they also annihilated the enemy’s special forces? And that included twenty lumberjacks and three hundred elite members of the Schmidt Alliance?”

“Huh?!”

“hmm……!”

The leaders who heard Woolley’s mutterings that sounded like a soliloquy each swallowed their breath in disbelief.

Twenty lumberjacks and three hundred elite soldiers.

This is because it was a force that could never be ignored.

“Only four people did that?”

“Who are they?”

Petra answered a question someone asked.

“This is the Sowol Mercenary Corps.”

“…The Sowol Mercenary Corps?”

“Are those four mercenaries?”

While people were gossiping about the Sowol Mercenaries here and there, I was checking the letter my son had sent me again.

The letter detailed how the Sowol Mercenary Corps dealt with the enemy’s special forces.

‘I used a strategy to lure the enemy… … .’

In the letter, the son referred to it as a scheme, but in Woolley’s view, it was nothing more than a scheme.

‘Isn’t it just something you pressed down with force?’

Summon the enemy and fight him.

This is something that they would not even attempt if they were not confident in their abilities.

But surprisingly, the Sowol Mercenary Corps used this without any problem and actually succeeded.

It means that he has guts, but his skills are also great.

‘Even though the members are younger than Al, their individual skills are incredible, and the level of the leader is so great that it’s impossible to even guess?’

The contents of the letter written by my son.

I stuck out my tongue in amazement at the words of admiration and awe contained within.

While Wooli was looking over his son’s letter, the group was discussing the activities of the Sowol Mercenary Corps.

“If the rear had been hit like that, it would have been a really big problem.

“It’s amazing that just four people were able to do that.”

“Ahem, by the way, you really were planning to come after us, you sinister bastards.”

Petra laughed at the sight of those who had been lukewarm when she told them the story, but now they were shaken when they heard that there had actually been a surprise attack in the rear.

‘Will they even remember?’

The Sowol mercenary group that surprised them were the ones who had recently departed from the main camp?

I’m sure I reported it before, but they’ve probably forgotten about it.

But Petra didn’t bother to explain it to him.

‘Even if I tell you again, you’ll just react as if it’s hard to believe. How on earth is that possible?’

Eventually, I had to give them an explanation that would make them understand, but the problem was that Petra didn’t understand it very well either.

‘This is truly unbelievable.’

The time of the enemy’s surprise attack was only about half a day after the departure of the Sowol Mercenary Corps.

In other words, the Sowol Mercenary Corps traveled that long distance in just a few hours.

How could I make them understand that I had done something that even I thought was absurd?

So when Petra tried to skip over that part.

“But what does it mean that the reinforcements have returned?”

Petra answered the question someone brought up.

“It is said that Yuri Holland, the leader of the Sowol Mercenary Corps, ordered the messenger to meet the reinforcement unit and deliver the news. The messenger who was returning met the reinforcement unit and came with them.”

“The measures are also excellent.”

It was a part that could have been easily overlooked, but when we took care of the measures for that part, there were satisfied responses here and there.

At that moment, the atmosphere slightly relaxed.

“The time has come.”

Petra’s hard voice stiffened the atmosphere in the room.

“Is it time?”

Petra shouted with strong determination at Woolley’s question.

“How long are you going to just stand there and watch as the enemies attack? It’s time for us to make the first move!”

“What you mean is… should we attack first?”

“you’re right.”

Petra’s answer caused murmurs to spread here and there.

One of them spoke in an anxious tone.

“Ha, but their power is still… … .”

“What the heck!”

bang-!

The desk that Petra had slammed down shook violently.

“Are you here to fight or to watch the fight?”

Petra’s anger, which had been suppressed until now, exploded because of this incident.

“That’s why you can’t fight, that’s why you can’t fight? Why did you come out to brag about how much power our family has? If you’re not a gentleman, and you’re here to fight, you should know how to fight!”

“Well, that’s a bit… … .”

“The Sowol Mercenary Corps! Even with just four mercenaries, they defeated twenty lumberjacks and three hundred elite soldiers!”

“… … .”

“Because of them, there was a gap in their power! If the Sowol Mercenary Corps created this golden opportunity and you just stood there and watched… Doesn’t that mean you had no will to fight in the first place!”

The leaders turned their heads away, unable to meet Petra’s blazing eyes.

Petra’s gaze, which had been scanning the surroundings, landed on Uli Jikli.

“You decide. What are you going to do?”

Uli Giclee, the leader of the Giclee Union.

In the event of a full-scale all-out war, the outcome would ultimately be decided by a duel between him and Aaron Schmidt.

Since the one who had to shoulder that heavy burden was Uli Giclee, it was right for him to decide to start this fight.

“hmm…….”

Woolin was worried.

‘Considering that the mountain army has not appeared until now, it is highly likely that it will not appear in the future.’

Also, seeing as there hasn’t been any contact from May Winchester yet, there may be some issues between the two.

If so, then now was the best opportunity, as Petra said.

The enemy’s power has been reduced, and the risk factor of mountain troops has been eliminated.

The only person he cared about was Aaron Schmidt.

‘He’s already well into his eighties and looking towards ninety?’

I heard that he had not been able to pass the 9th Dan level for a long time, and his body was starting to age.

On the other hand, although he had not been a certified 8th dan for very long, he had a younger and more robust body compared to Aaron.

‘Enough… worth a fight.’

Physical regeneration, strength, stamina, endurance, durability, etc.

If you hold out as long as possible and carefully lead it to a long-term war rather than a short-term war, it will be a fight in which your victory is certain.

‘If I catch him… … .’

This war will be won by our forces, and you will become the main character of the victory.

His fame would be the best food to enrich the family.

‘In order to become a famous family that will leave its mark on history, rather than just an ordinary family, you must greedily devour fame and honor.’

Uli Giclee clenching his fists tightly.

He looked around the room and spoke firmly.

“Everyone, get ready. We’re going to have an all-out war.”

“… … ?!”

The atmosphere in the hall heated up with Uli Giclee’s declaration.
