◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (123)

Whoosh-!

The swung sword cuts through the air.

The black sword changed course and rushed towards the neck of the man in front like lightning.

Wow-!

“Huh!”

The middle-aged man managed to defend himself, but at the same time lost his balance and staggered.

And at that very moment, Apel’s sword, without taking advantage of the middle-aged man’s weakness, swung downward and aimed for his thigh.

Bam-!

“Huh!”

A middle-aged man fell to one knee as red blood sprinkled across the sand.

I tried to get up again somehow,

Sling.

Apel’s sword was already at his neck.

He soon lowered his head as the blood flowed down the blade.

“I lost.”

“You don’t have to come out starting tomorrow.”

Apel, who spoke coldly, handed the sword he was holding to his servant and sat down on the bed chair in the training ground.

Two servants in flowing robes came forward, holding fans to cool Apel’s sweat and offering him some fine wine to quench his thirst.

“Inspiration, from tomorrow onwards, let’s bring in a stronger teacher.”

“All right.”

“Who is it? How can we not hear Nick Bell?”

Nickbell is the adjutant of Seyla, the commander of the 6th Corps, and is quite famous for his swordsmanship within the kingdom.

It would be much better if I could exchange swordsmanship skills with someone like that.

But the butler called inspiration had an awkward expression on his face.

“I’ve tried contacting him before, but he said he doesn’t provide personal instruction.”

“Tch! If it weren’t for Marquis Ceyla, I would have tried anything.”

Even though they are a prestigious marquis family, they cannot manipulate Seyla arbitrarily.

In any case, he is one of the people who contributed most to putting Ethan on the throne.

Apel took a sip of the wine the servant handed him and moistened his throat.

Then the butler approached and spoke to Apel.

“Your Majesty, Marquis Seila has already contacted you regarding Parcontium.”

“Parcontium?”

“yes.”

The butler nodded and gave a brief explanation about Parcontium.

Apel, who had been listening to the explanation, frowned and cut him off.

“I know what Parcontium is, so there’s no need for an explanation. But Parcontium… isn’t it an old tradition that has been passed down for decades?”

“It seems they are probably aiming for a non-aggression pact with Parcontium.”

“That’s interesting.”

Apel jumped up from his seat.

“If it’s Parcontium, you can’t proceed without me in the Artian Kingdom. But Parcontium can only proceed with three people, so how do you plan on filling the remaining two positions?”

Parcontium is a place where promising youngsters can easily lose their lives.

Will it be possible to fill three seats?

The butler answered Apel’s question.

“They say two positions have already been filled.”

“……Who is that?”

For a moment, Apel’s eyebrows twitched.

When Apel asked with a stern expression, the butler answered.

“This is Baron Isaac Pitt and Lian of the Arrowhead Corps.

“Isaac Pitt… I’ve heard the story. He’s the disciple of Duke Gaiel Pitt, right?”

“yes.”

“But Lian. Who is he? Does he have a last name or title?”

“He is a captain of commoner origin. He was the former commander of the Arrowhead Unit.”

“under!”

Apel’s expression was blatantly distorted.

It was infuriating that he wasn’t even first in line before Parcontium, but it was infuriating that a commoner was interfering with such an important position.

“But I heard that he is very skilled.”

“Your Majesty, you’d better be careful not to speak or act in a way that elevates a commoner in front of me. Even if you’re my Majesty, I won’t forgive you twice, so be careful.”

“……sorry.”

At the butler’s apology, Apel sat back down on the bed chair and stretched out his legs.

“It’s just that the situation is out of order, but isn’t Parcontium a place where the winner keeps fighting?”

“you’re right.”

“Then it’s okay if I go alone. They won’t have a moment to be active.”

“Then I will prepare it.”

As soon as the butler left the training grounds, Apel closed his eyes.

“This body’s debut stage is the Baroque Kingdom… Not bad.”

The corners of Apel’s mouth went up to his ears as he imagined his glorious future.

* * *

As time was running out, the delegation was quickly put together.

Although there wasn’t much to prepare, there was a clear purpose to this exchange anyway.

Step by step, step by step.

Lian and Isaac were riding in the same carriage.

Originally, Apel was supposed to ride along, but he said he wanted to ride in his own carriage.

“……My first impression wasn’t that good.”

Isaac opened his mouth about Apel.

This is because the gaze they gave to each other at first did not seem very friendly.

Lian responded calmly to Isaac’s words.

“Because you are of noble blood.”

“Do you know about him?”

“……little?”

Well, that’s not detailed.

Aside from being related to royalty, he was also quite skilled for his age.

In fact, in my past life, I rarely had the opportunity to meet or fight with such a guy.

However, despite his incredible background, he was overshadowed by Isaac and other geniuses.

‘The so-called unfortunate genius… … Is that something like that?’

Their outstanding skills were acknowledged, but their pride was so high that they could not acknowledge the geniuses who came from commoners.

‘I tried too hard to prove myself and ended up collapsing.’

The most famous anecdote about Apel was the incident where he tried to poison Isaac.

It was an extreme choice for a guy who had no way to beat Isaac, who was beyond his ability and who later acquired the background of Duke Gaiel Pitt.

Could this be the result of continuing to look down on Isaac, who had already achieved the title of earl beyond baron, as someone from a commoner background?

Of course, the poisoning failed.

And because of that failure, he suffered greatly and ended up in ruin.

Lian soon gave up on Apel.

To be honest, I acknowledge the guy’s skills, but he’s not someone I need to worry about much right now.

Lian took out the notebook from her bag.

He’s a guy who’s been around since he met DL.

“What are you talking about?”

“I just wanted to write something.”

Lian, who gave a short answer, began to organize a list of promising candidates from the Baroque Kingdom in relation to Parcontium.

Although she had already received information from Seila, it was insufficient compared to what Lian knew.

‘I guess it can’t be helped.’

Lian began to write down briefly about the people she knew in her notebook.

It was a time when the Baroque kingdom was at its peak of prosperity, so trying to organize it was quite complicated.

It couldn’t be helped because at the same time, a large number of unprecedented geniuses worthy of being recorded in history emerged from the Kingdom of Artian.

Isaac is a representative example, and there were many others who were not as skilled as him but had outstanding skills.

In terms of strategy, there were those who already had outstanding skills, and there were also those who had skills similar to DL.

Nevertheless, at that time the Artian Kingdom was unable to overturn the power of the Baroque Kingdom.

This is because the power of the Baroque kingdom was strong and spread very widely.

‘But this guy… … is really certain.’

【Half Diesel】

Lian emphasized the guy’s name by underlining it.

He was the fourth son of the current Baroque king.

A monster among monsters who broke through the wall of advanced users at the age of twenty.

No matter how strong Isaac has become, I can’t guarantee that he can defeat this guy.

‘I don’t even know exactly how far it has gotten.’

They’re probably around the same age as you, so you should think of them as stronger than when they were twenty.

Although her head was complicated, Lian meticulously wrote down what she knew.

And as time passed like that, before we knew it, the envoy’s carriage had crossed the border and entered the Baroque Kingdom.

“……From here on, it is now the land of the Baroque Kingdom.”

As they crossed the border, Isaac’s expression became somewhat hardened.

Even if she pretends not to be, she must be a little nervous. Lian looked outside with a calm expression.

‘… … It’s been a while.’

Now that I think about it, the place I died in my past life didn’t seem too far from here.

It was originally a plan to fight along the border and then retreat, but the damn platoon leader chased the enemy too hard and got caught in the process.

Lian frowned slightly.

It wasn’t a very good memory.

Isaac asked, capturing Lian’s expression like a ghost.

“Why are you doing that?”

“No, it’s nothing. It’s just that I feel strange when I enter an enemy country.”

“Me too.”

And not long after crossing the border, soldiers from the Baroque Kingdom were waiting for the delegation.

“Welcome to the Baroque Kingdom, envoys.”

“Thank you for welcoming me.”

Baron Marok, who was representing the delegation, greeted them politely. Then, a man from the Baroque Kingdom who had come out as a welcoming delegation smiled and pointed to the magic circle he had prepared.

“I will activate the magic circle soon. Please wait a moment.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

A magic circle that can move more than fifty people at once.

It wasn’t to an unmanageable level, but it definitely seemed like they were trying to gain the upper hand from the start.

Lian stared blankly at the Baroque Kingdom soldiers outside the carriage.

‘They are well-trained soldiers.’

It certainly felt like a kingdom where people were obsessed with nothing and poured their energies into it, so even the common soldiers seemed to have solid fundamentals.

It’s like looking at the Arrowhead squad.

It was as if the battles against the old, strong Baroque kingdom were already coming to mind.

Lian let out a small breath as she felt something burning in her body against her will.

‘This… … It shouldn’t be getting heated up already.’

Although he is trying to keep his composure, the one who welcomes this Parcontium the most is Lian.

What should I say, if you just say the Baroque Kingdom, it makes my blood boil?

Moreover, depending on how you perform this time, there could be many changes in your future actions.

Lian waited calmly for the magic circle to activate. And after about an hour,

“Everything is ready. Then let’s go.”

The group of messengers entered a magic circle with a white light rippling around it. And then, the moment the circle was activated, PITH-!

Although they felt slightly dizzy, the group of messengers arrived at the huge hall in an instant.

And the man who came out as a welcoming party smiled at the delegation and said.

“We warmly welcome you to the heart of the Baroque kingdom.”

Belcheria, the capital of the Baroque Kingdom, a place I had never been to in my past life.

‘This is… … the capital of the Baroque kingdom.’

Lian unconsciously clenched her fists as she watched the sunlight streaming in from outside.

* * *

Immediately after the ambassadors left, the Kingdom of Artian also had to go through quite a busy time.

Because the army of the Kingdom of Meladion has already crossed the border.

Therefore, Seyla, who was in charge of this battle, was quickly leading the army and moving towards the border.

“Now… it’s almost time to arrive.”

“I see.”

Saila nodded at Nickbell’s words as he came as an adjutant. Nickbell looked at Saila with an indifferent expression and asked.

“Aren’t you worried?”

“What are you talking about?”

“If the emissary sent for Parcontium fails, we may be attacked from both the front and the back.”

“I’ll have to think about that when I get there. But…….”

Saila paused for a moment. Then she looked at Nickbell and said.

“If those who go this time fail in Parcontium, we may be swallowed up by the Baroque Kingdom in the near future.”

“……yes?”

For a moment, Nickbell’s eyes wavered.

What does that mean?

Saila said without hesitation.

“In terms of the number of troops and the level of soldiers, there is no country on the continent that can keep up with the Baroque Kingdom. Our kingdom is no different.”

The only people who can maintain a close relationship with them are talented people.

When such talented people come together one by one, they exert tremendous power.

As an extreme example, one excellent warrior has a stronger fighting power than thousands of soldiers.

And when Seila thought about it, the prospects who had gone to Parcontium this time were the ones who would truly take charge of the kingdom’s future.

If those guys lose to guys of the same age from the enemy country, it means they are being pushed back in terms of talent level.

“Then, in the first place, isn’t it true that we have no advantage over the Baroque Kingdom?”

“…….”

Nickbell’s expression hardened at Seyla’s cool judgment.

Because there was nothing that could refute what she said.

Saila said, looking at Nickbell’s serious expression.

“So let’s trust them. I hope they do well.”

“yes.”

The two were simply waiting for a signal of hope to fly.
