prepare for civil war
‘Now, what should I do?’
Hyunjoon took a moment to organize his thoughts. He wasn’t thinking of a swordsmanship to give to Benting. The question is, how far will you give it?
In retrospect, the swordsmanship given to Wilhelmina was not excessive. This is because it is not a standardized movement, but rather endlessly changing and evolving parts that can create new things according to each person. Wilhelmina was so full of talent that she gave away something too big.
‘But I can’t give Benting the same thing.’
From Benting’s point of view, he would welcome it with open arms, but then the value of the swordsmanship given to Wilhelmina would be diminished. What Hyeonjun gave was enough that the royal family Lautsharn could throw away the swordsmanship he had been honing. Assuming you have the talent, of course.
‘I have to think about what to give to Turaion.’
Giving too much to Benting will cause problems later when providing the swordsmanship to negotiate smoothly with Thurrayon. If Benting and Tureion’s swordsmanship were equal, Benting would not be able to stand still.
Hyun-joon eventually has to teach Wilhelmina, Benting, and Turaion other swordsmanship. It would be easier to teach him the best swordsmanship he can make.
‘Well, if I gave Wilhelmina something suitable, this wouldn’t happen.’
Everyone silently watched Hyeonjun stand still and spin his sword. There is no one who doesn’t know that this guy who doesn’t look like this is standing still and creating swordsmanship.
However, Hyunjun, as always, is not making swordsmanship, but removing it.
‘I can decide by looking at Turaion’s swordsmanship… .’
Hyeonjun flicked the sword he was spinning and stopped.
“Benting’s swordsmanship holds both strength and finesse, but it has the problem of falling in the middle when facing a stronger opponent.”
Benting’s swordsmanship holds onto the basics. In that regard, it is an excellent swordsmanship that already deserves praise. The basics of swordsmanship, developed over such a long period of time, remain intact. Even though there were plenty of swordsmanships that lost their basics because they were just immersed in deceiving their opponents and creating gaps. Is basic just basic? It is not optional, it is mandatory.
However, it developed in a direction that relied heavily on power, and a problem arose. Benting’s pedigree is so large that even though he has good strength, it is difficult to act agilely. If you reach the level of Mana Knight, you may not know, but you cannot escape from the laws of physics without the power of transcendence. It weighs a lot, so how can it move quickly?
Hyeonjun raised his sword and began to demonstrate Benting’s swordsmanship. Albert looked at it silently and then nodded. Hyeonjun, who seems to lack strength on the outside, definitely seems to have a gap.
But if you ask him to dig into it, Albert will shake his head. This is because Hyun-joon’s overwhelming power fills up what he thought was a gap. Benting’s swordsmanship is excellent. As long as you have a stronger power than your opponent.
“In fact, the easiest way to compensate for this problem is to change the sword.”
“A sword?”
Albert asked Hyeon-jun’s words as he stopped.
“Yes, switch to a true two-hander and overwhelm your opponent, or pick up a lighter sword. Sir, a sword.”
Albert calmly handed the sword to Hyeon-jun. Hyeon-joon swung the huge sword that would come up to his chest when he stood up and straightened his posture. And he started swinging his sword like a storm.
The peak of power was put on the sword, and even though it cut through the air, I got goosebumps from its destructive power. But the truly surprising thing is that Hyeonjun’s swordsmanship hasn’t changed much from Benting’s.
The only difference is that the hand constantly changes the grip and delicately adjusts the force and direction.
Hyeonjun changed his grip almost every time he swung his sword. Grab the ricasso, hold the permal, change hands… . He skillfully handles that huge sword.
“If you really want to crush your opponent with power, don’t hold your long sword halfway and change it to a true two-hander.”
“hmm… . Jun-gong, I’m sorry, but that can’t be done.”
Hyeonjun tilted his head at Albert’s words with a smile. No, changing the weapon solves everything, but what is the problem?
“If you were going to do that, you’d just pick up a halberd. Why would you pick up a longsword?”
“Ah, my…”
Hyunjoon sighed. That’s right. He also once thought of buying a halberd made of iron and cutting the knight through the armor to death. The easiest way to deal with a knight in full plate armor is to hit it with mass and force. He also once killed Yerdu by pressing him down with the power of Mana Knight.
Before the civil war, knights wield long swords now, but when civil war breaks out, they will wield halberds or true two-handers. Because it is easy to kill the opponent.
Longsword swordsmanship has a strange and unique value that is different from being a mere murder technique. Only blue bloods and knights wield long swords, and this is honor and authority.

Even Wilhelmina, who has mastered the superb swordsmanship created by Hyeon-jun, will wear a longsword at official events where she does not need to fight and must show authority. In battle, the hyperbolic sword that can use Hyeonjun’s swordsmanship will be stronger, but in the moment of need, he must eventually pick up a longsword.
“Um…”
Hyeonjun returned the sword to Albert and drew his own. Then he immediately began to show off Benting’s swordsmanship. But there is a little difference. Albert noticed that Hyeon-jun was constantly changing the position of his feet.
“Let’s fight again.”
“Good.”
Albert ran straight ahead. Hyeonjun swung his sword against it. It’s Benting’s swordsmanship. However, the moment the swords collided, Albert felt a strange discomfort. Instead of digging in and winning the game like before, Hyeon-jun showed off a new swordsmanship to Albert by exchanging attacks in moderation.
It’s definitely Benting’s swordsmanship, but it’s not Benting’s swordsmanship.
“hmm!”
Even though Hyeon-jun moves in line with Albert’s physical ability, he can’t possibly attack. All attacks are blocked, and Hyeon-jun’s sword comes in, or his arm or leg hangs, throwing his body off balance. It seems that they are dealing with the same swordsmanship, but the discomfort that continues to subtly diverge remains.
“How did you do it?”
“I just changed the position and orientation of my feet.”
“hmm….”
Hyeonjun showed Albert his swordsmanship again. In swordsmanship, the position and direction of the foot is the first place that determines how much power to put on the sword and in which direction to swing it.
It was also possible that Hyeon-jun analyzed Wilhelmina’s swordsmanship by looking at Wilhelmina’s feet.
“Try it.”
Albert intensively imitated the swordsmanship that Hyeon-jun showed slowly. The upper body and arms are the same as before, but only the feet are slightly changed. At first, it moves similarly to before, but the moment you swing the sword, the trajectory changes slightly.
“This…isn’t it a bit difficult to call it swordsmanship?”
“I didn’t know you would say that even after experiencing it just now.”
“…….”
Hyeonjun simply made a big change to Benting’s swordsmanship. However, it would be a truly head-shattering experience for an ordinary human to study it directly.
‘Analyze the position and direction of your feet that can change your swordsmanship but are practical.’
Can I finish it even if I spend my whole life? Hyeonjun did it in less than 10 minutes while standing.
“It’s going to be a small but tangible change to all of Benting’s sword techniques. Enough to kill the enemy. In fact, some of Benting’s sword techniques are already showing changes like they were introduced.”
Then he swung his sword once and said.
“The prototype of this must have been this.”
And he swung it by changing only the position of his feet. Albert shuddered with an unknown chill. It is the fear that one feels from an unknown being that one cannot understand. I was amazed and thrilled to see him teach Wilhelmina swordsmanship, but he completely disassembled and reassembled Benting’s swordsmanship, which he had learned since he was a toddler, and Benting’s swordsmanship, which had been developed over hundreds of years. Is this really human!
“Your Excellency, the Marquis, will certainly accept the deal. Because, I will not teach you everything.”
“…Ha ha ha, yes, I see.”
“Please tell me that you will also offer a special true two-hander swordsmanship.”
“ha ha ha!”
Albert smiled coolly.
Buying and selling swordsmanship was done by families of nobles and knights who had fallen into disrepair and had no money to live on, and buying them was done by nerds without tradition.
Hyun-joon sells it and Ben-ting buys it!
If there were other ventings here, they would have tried to tie Hyun-joon even with all kinds of dark circles and terrible numbers.
But it’s for Wilhelmina’s promise. Albert cannot play tricks on Hyeon-jun. Hyeon-jun also knew that, so he showed a good hand. Even in the midst of this, he is alert to protect himself. It’s never just spread without thinking.
“Then we can begin in earnest now.”
Hyeonjun nodded at Wilhelmina’s words. However, there is a small problem, and since I have to teach both Wilhelmina and Albert at the same time, I am a little embarrassed.
“Do you have any magic tools that record images?”
It would be great if I could just shoot a video with my phone at times like this.
“There is, but…”
“I’m glad.”
“Hmm.”
Albert cleared his throat. what?
“I can’t use it because Albert gave it to me as a gift.”
“… Ah yes. … … Did you even sing a song?”
“Uh, how did you know?”
No matter where you go, what couples do doesn’t change. Hyeonjun clicked his tongue and glanced at the blushing Albert, then sighed.
“Let’s get started.”
“… … okay.”
Hyeon-jun’s face twisted when he saw the couple smiling awkwardly and glancing at each other. It’s really salty without even trying.
***
Three days had passed since Elizabeth left. Now, Hyeon-jun has relieved the burden of the people of the temple, and he has been able to find some time to spare by raising his swordsmanship to the state. As for politics, Wilhelmina was very helpful.
“First of all, Benting agreed to the deal. He said that we would negotiate again in person later in Turaion’s presence.”
“I’m glad.”
In addition to that, Wilhelmina’s trivial but weighty advice came true in all sorts of things.
“Become more acquainted with the outer wall commanders.”
“Isn’t that enough for now?”
“When civil war breaks out, they stay here, but their families fight in it.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Teach the mercenaries the ceremony.”
“… I don’t know much about the diet.”
“I will attach someone.”
“thank you.”
“Flexible full plate armor?”
“Yes, just like His Highness is writing.”
“Ha, you who reject power and have no money?”
“…….”
Hyeon-jun also taught Wilhelmina and Albert a lot.
“Sir Albert, I checked and it seems that if we move this route at this time, we will be able to leave the camp without being noticed by the soldiers.”
“Thank you.”
“Finally tomorrow is the perfect time to see the full moon. Are the presents ready?”
“Of course.”
“Your Highness, my head is breaking!”
“You cheeky bastard, try it!”
“Damn it! I can’t really hit you!”
“You’ve gone really crazy now!”
“It’s not easy to become a good queen if you hit a subordinate with authority!”
“You son of a b*tch!”
“Sir Albert!”
“ha… … .”
On the one hand, La Hansen acted unusually, but he was constantly persuading Hyeon-jun every time he saw him.
“Think carefully. It’s too wasteful to blow it up like this.”
“Oh, again?”
“At least get a knighthood.”
“Your goal is not to take responsibility?”
“Can’t we get it from Turaion?”
“No, I do, but… .”
“Shouldn’t I make money too? Even if you become an aristocrat, if you do nothing but eat and play, where will the money roll down?” “Are you going to use a straw as a swordsmanship instructor at Turaion?”
“…….”
Now, Hyeon-jun can maintain his body strength for over a minute, and he has also acquired superb swordsmanship. Venting and negotiations are also prepared, and there is even a card for negotiations with Turaion.
If a civil war breaks out, you will have to leave all the complicated work to Rivetran and Duvan, and just fight as they are told. After the civil war is over, you will be able to use what you have accumulated so far to gain freedom.
‘It worked out better than the first plan.’
Then, early in the morning, Gallion came and smiled at him.
“They say that in three days Thuryon will arrive at Venting. His Excellency has called you.”
“Yes, I will prepare right away.”
Hyunjoon also replied with a soft smile.
Hyun-jun greeted the commanders of the outer wall before leaving the eastern mountain range. They all regretted Hyun-joon’s departure. Hyeon-jun, who was supporting the wire alone, falls out. If you’re a commander, of course you’ll want to hold on to it. But the situation is so it can’t be helped.
“I hope to see you again next time.”
“Wouldn’t that be possible anytime after the civil war?”
“ha ha ha.”
It’s not yet time to get a weekly wage, but I’ve been paid as much as I’ve climbed the outer wall.
It is a huge amount of 150 silver coins, and it will be enough money for the mercenaries to spend until the end of the civil war.
When Hyeon-jun went to Wilhelmina’s barracks, they were waiting for them too. Of course, he would have contacted them before Hyun-joon.
“I’ll go to the end of the wire too and head straight to venting.”
“Yes, you will have to practice a lot in the meantime. I’ll check it out next time.”
“Hmph, you’ll have to be careful not to tie your limbs in strange places again.”
The two looked at each other and smiled. Hyeonjun, who had also greeted Albert and Grace, smiled wryly and bowed politely before stepping back and going to the mercenaries and Gallion who were waiting for him.
Wilhelmina will roam the frontlines, boosting morale and making it clear who they’re fighting for before heading to Benting. When she comes, civil war will begin. In the meantime, all preparations must be completed in the venting.
“Can we leave?”
“yes.”
Hyeonjun jumped up on his horse. Immediately, Gallion and his squire began to drive, followed by soldiers and the June & Gunter mercenary. After practicing for three days, I was able to look a little awkward but not bad. With three days left until venting, it won’t look ridiculous, if not perfect.
‘Now all that remains is to negotiate with Benting again, and to wage a civil war.’
Negotiations were neatly arranged thanks to Wilhelmina. Albert must have personally told the Marquis about swordsmanship. As was the case before, the key is how Turaion will turn out. Unfortunately, I didn’t say anything to them.
‘I need to coordinate my opinion with Turaion first… .’
There is nothing wrong with them, but Hyun-Jun, who is a strong link between Venting and Turaion, withdraws. We need something else to replace him.
‘I don’t think Devan is married, but he should be. Prinion is too young, and I don’t think Dvan will allow it.’
He insists that he will not marry even if he dies, but Devan is thinking of marrying him. I ate very badly. But for Dvan, that would be the best way. What could be better than binding them in blood? The next head of household is definitely the position of Devan’s wife. There is also Turaion, which will grow under Benting’s influence. From a woman’s point of view, she is the best groom. Because Thurray, let alone another family, couldn’t give a f*ck to a girl from Benting.
‘The preparations are over.’
Hyeonjun lightly touched the carios pattern and drove the horse. The cold, now winter air passed over his face.
