Episode 18. What other races think of (4)
“…… What?”
Leones’s lips trembled.
As if I hadn’t expected that he would tell me to give up the organization he was raising, he looks at me in a puzzled way.
“Are you talking nonsense?”
She gets up from her seat, recovering her broken pace with her big exhalation. When Leones stood up straight, we were at the same eye level as me. It’s big.
“…… That said, if you’re going to cancel it, do it now. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”
The muscles visible through the old clothes were slightly swollen. He was ready to punch me in the face at any moment.
“I’m serious.”
“Yes. You are really crazy.”
She smiled and put her hand on my shoulder.
“If you want to talk to your sister, come to your senses. Seeing what you’ve done to other races, I’ll put up with you this time. But not twice.”
My sister said when I saw it. Well, although he’s actually older than me.
She taps me on the shoulder three times and warns me. His cold eyes made his skin tingle. Leones, who looked at me with displeasure, licked his lips and turned around.
“I am sane.”
From noble mtl dot com
I said calmly to her as she walked towards her entrance. The lion’s ears twitch when he hears me.
“Ha… ….”
Leones sighs openly and turns to me. Suddenly, the eyes had changed to those of a beast. It was a sign of anger.
“Do I look easygoing?”
“Not really.”
“Don’t get me wrong. I know that you are working hard for other races, so I am accepting you with a wide tolerance. Originally, we wouldn’t have met like now, and even if we did, we would have smashed your human head. So don’t cross the line.”
Smashing his head. How much do you hate humans?
Leones said, grabbing me by the collar. It looked like the clothes would be torn. Iris, who was watching from the side, grabbed Leones’ wrist.
“Please stop.”
“… Heh, well tamed.”
Leones, who squinted at Iris, snorts at him. Then he cuts off Iris’ hand and lets go of the collar.
“Just make a good match and go back. And if you go anywhere and talk about the resistance, I will slit your throat.”
I straightened the disheveled collar and grabbed her ankle once again as she was about to leave the shack.
“If you are so confident, you can do it right now.”
“You bastard!”
f*ck!
Leones punches me, but Iris’ grip stops it.
“I told you not to!”
Iris places her hand on her sword. Leones stepped back, kicking her tongue wildly, as if she had judged Iris to be a formidable opponent for her as well.
“I’ve heard that Malbonsae is sh*t, but seeing her face to face is even more f*cked up.”
f*cking me in the face……. Is it too much?
I didn’t mean to say that either…….
I managed to suppress the sigh that came out of my throat and opened my mouth.
“…… Leones, the Resistance is moving as a ‘last resort’.”
“What?”
“If the resistance rises, there will be no more negotiations. Slavery will not be abolished peacefully, and all other races that are now enslaved will be enslaved again.”
I know when the resistance begins in earnest. However, the excessive intervention of the episode started to create unstable variables.
So, from now on, I thought to control that variable in advance.
“It doesn’t matter! We will win anyway!”
It’s good to speak confidently…….
The Resistance alone can ‘never’ defeat the Empire.
Even if they revolted simultaneously in numerous regions, they could not defeat the nobles who owned the military.
Moreover, most of the S-class rivals to the hero were human.
The number of resistance members will increase to the point of becoming a threat, but no one comparable to the S class will appear.
In the end, everything will come to naught.
Of course, unless the Duke of Tori and the hero intervene.
It was only when the heroes and Tori intervened that the Resistance got a chance to win.
The reason Tori intervened was that right after the resistance broke out, her S-class, Urka, was the most dangerous to her, and her Empire wanted to kill her first.
Tori had no choice but to choose to save Urca or for the sake of what she had done so far.
And that choice was to join the Resistance.
In the case of the hero, it was because he had heard from the spirit kings that if the empire collapsed, humans would be exterminated by the demons. In the game, it was expressed as the revelation of the world tree.
Though the Duke of Tori and the warriors became the strength of the resistance, the war between humans and other races showed no sign of stopping.
Neither side backed down until the end, so no negotiations were made, and eventually the warriors made a plan to establish a new emperor.
The target was Princess Se-ri.
At that time, Princess Seri married into the Todia family, but she was treated as someone who did not exist. Do not allow her to overstep the authority of the imperial family.
This part was largely due to the Todia family’s unique culture of being loyal to the imperial family. Even though I knew it was wrong, I had no choice but to follow it.
However, shortly after the resistance broke out, she convinced Todia that the princess should stop fighting with other races and deal with her demons. She didn’t mind being treated as someone who lacked confidence, so she desperately cried out for her words to be heard just once.
However, the image she has built up results in her cutting off her own words. There, Se-Ri resigns herself to everything. She said she wouldn’t be
At that moment, Tori and her warriors help Princess Seri to live like a human again. I took on that role here.
So the war continues, and as the time to rectify the resistance is delayed, the war between man and horse begins, and the worst game situation is encountered.
That was the progression of the episodes within the game.
But if I control the resistance, I can make sure that the resistance war doesn’t happen at the time of the man-man war.
If so, the warriors will be able to focus more on hunting demons.
This is my plan.
In addition, you can ask for their help when there are not enough forces to wage a succession war apart from the plan. Even if it’s not a big deal, I can entrust it with espionage activities.
“Do you really think you can win? If I were on the side of the Empire, not your Resistance, how would you respond?”
“!”
When I say it with a snort, they startle. The pupils shake without mercy. This time, it seemed to me that I had a good meal.
“Ah… Were you mistaken? Since I have acted for other races up until now, I guess you naturally thought that I was on the ‘side’ of other races, right?”
“This bastard…… !”
He curses for no reason as if he has nothing to say.
With this, A and B were clearly separated. From now on, I was just trampling at my own pace.
“…… What do you want?”
Asked Leones as he let go of his doorknob.
“Come here and sit down.”
I pointed with my chin to the table in front of the money bag. She clenched her fists in anger. Express your anger without hesitation.
“Master, over there… what does that mean…….”
“Your story will come later.”
This is a bluff to lead the negotiations at my own pace.
I understand Iris’s anxiety, but it was enough to talk about it privately when the two of them were together. No matter what I do, I will see my actions and clear my doubts.
Leones sits down again. She caresses the confused Iris on the back and then stands in front of Leones.
“So what do you want from me?”
Be impatient.
The conversation didn’t move according to his own initiative, so he became impatient. You are probably analyzing me by now listing countless possibilities and cases.
But it was all futile. Because there was only one thing I wanted.
I put my hand on the table and looked into her face. A tense look is evident.
“I should have told you already. Hand over the resistance.”
“Ooh, don’t be funny! The resistance is made up of only beastmen and elves. All of them have a great resentment towards humans, and they are eager to kill them right away. Do you think such people will follow you?”
“I won’t follow you now. But someday I’ll follow you. When there is no other way to live than to borrow my hand.”
“No way… Are you going to hand us over to the knights?! Are you really a devil?!”
He barely calmed down his trembling voice as if he had strong pride. But it was after a shadow had already been cast over her face. Engulfed in fear and anxiety. Oops, did I scare you too much?
“Uh, why is Duke Tori holding hands with a cunning human like you?”
“Why is it bad to be clever? It is ability that makes oneself advantageous in any situation. I hope you don’t underestimate my abilities.”
“It’s great…… !”
Since your reason doesn’t work properly, every word you say will be like a gem. Biting his lower lip, he twisted one corner of his mouth as he looked at Leones, who couldn’t refute.
“What…… That’s what I said, but I need the Resistance. So I won’t hand you over to the knights. Calm down.”
I said this intentionally to ease the tension, but Leones looked even more suspicious than before.
“Why, why…… You really want our resistance, right? In the Empire, not only our organization, there are many organizations preparing to rebel.”
That’s because it’s all merged into your side.
But I couldn’t say it as it was, so I spat out an appropriate excuse.
‘Because I think you’ll be useful.’
“I liked you.”
“What…… ?”
Why are you filtering here?!
