Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 212

212 cards discarded (1)

A man cried out in the silence.

“Mo, you can’t all go together, what do you mean?!”

A voice that clearly shows the anxiety that he might be abandoned at this dog honey party.

“I will explain.”

Vice-Captain Versil spoke calmly.

“Our explorers said that all the passageways leading to the Darklands are encamped by Noark explorers. You can’t go out, you can’t go in.”

An incomparable number of troops are encamped in front of this.

Another man shouted at that.

“… … From now on, if you want to pave the way, you will have to make sacrifices!”

The truth of the saying that not everyone can go together.

I, too, had a similar interpretation to that man.

However… … .

“It might be similar in some ways.”

The moment when you hear a song that sounds somewhat bitter but meaningful.

heart-!

My heart started beating erratically.

Vice-Captain Versil continued his speech without stopping.

No excuses, just conclusions.

“I will use multi-teleport magic.”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Mass Teleport.

A high-ranking special magic that can only be used by wizards of rank 4 or higher from a certain school.

Now I understand.

Why did everyone say we can’t go together?

“… … .”

A silence that was deeper than when I first heard those words weighed on the midday.

“Rain, Bjorn? If you use teleportation magic, you can pass without fighting, right? But why are everyone’s faces… … .”

The reason is simple.

“… … Multi-teleportation magic can only be used by up to 20 people.”

As Raven, an incumbent wizard, said,

You can teleport up to 20 people, and we currently have a total of 35.

That is to say.

’15 people.’

Simply put, a total of 3 teams will be discarded.

With the safety zone of the center at hand.

“Hey, if you’re going to throw it away at the end like this, why did you say let’s join forces!”

Some shouted in anger.

However, Versil did not change his expression and only briefly apologized.

“I am sorry about that. We didn’t know it was going to be like this.”

A voice that seems soft but does not leave room.

I sighed quietly.

Persuasion is meaningless for this type.

I don’t think she’ll change her decision no matter what she says here.

“So, how are you going to pick the 15 who will be thrown away?”

When I asked, Versil looked at me with a strange expression.

Even in such a situation, it seems that the calm barbarian was unusual.

“We will draw lots for each team.”

“Everyone except your team?”

“no. Except for one more team.”

Versil said so and stared at one side.

It was a place with a team that had cleared the road, fighting together right behind them throughout the journey.

“I’m sorry. I have a long relationship with Versil Vice-Captain.”

The leader of the team expressed regret to us without showing a sign of surprise, as if he had already known it.

Yes, it was promised in advance.

There is nothing strange about it. Because they are also teams from a large clan.

but… … .

‘Nimiral.’

One day a headache strikes.

There are only two tickets left for Teleport.

On the other hand, there are 3 tickets for the underdog.

If you go by lot, you are more likely to be abandoned here.

But is it because you know that?

“Take us.”

The facial expressions of the remaining teams all changed.

very desperately.

“5 million per person… No, 10 million stones.”

Someone offered money.

“We are a team under the Blue Wall clan. If you take us along, the Master will surely give you a big reward… … .”

Someone promised the future through power.

“Hey, we don’t have a clan yet. After all, they are all women. It works on the 5th floor now, but it was originally on the 6th floor. Larre Clan is also recruiting clan members due to the recent decrease in power… … .”

Someone has listed themselves as an instrument of trade.

Not one of them was willing to cast lots.

That was natural.

Because no one wants to leave their one and only life to fate.

“Yandel.”

Uncle Bear called me with a heavy voice.

I guess we also have to do something.

But I just watched it.

Judging that it would not be too late to report on what kind of decision Versil Gowland would make to present something.

“sorry. Anyway, I don’t think it’s right to do it that way.”

“Well, that means… … !”

“Yes. The rest will be decided by lot to be fair. I hope you understand my decision.”

With only one team as an exception, as promised, Versil adhered to the principle of principle as stated at the outset.

“Versil Gowland, the vice-captain of Clan Larre. He is exactly what I was told.”

Raven muttered as if admiring the nobleness, but it was difficult for me to sympathize.

‘It just wouldn’t be an appealing offer.’

If he was really fair, he wouldn’t have excluded that other team in the first place. Especially when it’s obvious what kind of situation the remaining ones will be in.

‘Anyway, it’s a situation where you have to make a decision… … .’

I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

You must have won at least once in something like this.

“Then we don’t have time, so let’s get started.”

After that, Versil was ready to cast a lot by making a pouch containing five stones.

The rules are really simple.

Two white stones win.

If you pull out three black stones, they will be thrown away here.

“Which team would you like to play first?”

“Do it with me.”

The first time they came out was the team that offered to pay 10 million stones per person.

“My fate depends on that kind of stone.”

A dwarf warrior in colorful gear put his hands in his pockets with a nervous look.

and… … .

“Ha ha ha ha… … . done!!”

The first try was successful.

The team with the Dwarfs spread laughter, while the faces of the other teams darkened.

“come here. So what’s next?”

There was no team that took the lead in a situation where joys and sorrows crossed.

Now, there is only one winning ticket.

Three are tickets to hell.

“Mr. Yandel, you have to wait. If you pull it out now, there is a greater chance that you will pull out a white stone.”

25% winning.

Failed 75%.

But, as always, probabilities were meaningless.

“Huh, we’ll just do it first.”

A team came out while I was just looking at it.

The team was all women.

“Ahhh!!!”

I pulled out the one remaining white stone.

“… … .”

Shit.

***

“Then it’s all over.”

With just two draws, the fate of all five teams was decided. The other three teams didn’t even have a chance to leave their fate to chance.

“aah!!”

What did I do while the women’s team was pulling the white stones?

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha, Ainar, and Raven were contemplating which of the three to choose.

I really didn’t know it was going to end in two.

‘Does this make sense?’

As soon as such a thought occurred to him, Versil turned his pocket upside down and sprinkled three black stones on the floor.

As if to prove that there was no denial here.

“Then all get together. I’ll use magic as soon as I’m ready.”

Those who were chosen by Versil’s words quickly gathered in one place.

That was then.

“Come on, wait!”

One of the three teams that was mentally out in this situation.

The leader of the team to which Erwen belonged, the chin, hurriedly approached them.

“Hey, take us too! Please, I will do anything!”

humble plea.

However, she wasn’t the kind of woman who could do that.

“All seats are already filled.”

At Versil’s unfeeling voice, his chin turned to the direction of his plea.

“If you give up your seat to me, 10 million stones! No, I will pay you 20 million stones!”

I’ll pay you to buy a seat… … .

Now that I see it, it’s even very ugly.

Seeing that none of the team members talked about it, it doesn’t mean that he wants to live alone.

“… … .”

At first, Daria, a member of the same team, frowned as if seeing a bug, but her chin did not stop talking.

Talking from afar was not enough, so I approached each person and asked if they had any intention of accepting a deal, and they were all turned away.

“Am I really not?”

If it were you, would that be it?

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Money isn’t the problem, but the moment you sell your seat for money, you fall apart with your colleagues.

“Will you please leave when the conversation is over?”

“… … .”

As Versil slurped a short slurp, his chin turned his back weakly and returned to the place where his teammates were.

With that, the happening ends.

The wizard on Versil’s side was drawing a magic circle on the floor to use a scalpel teleport.

“Bjorn… … .”

“Talk about it later.”

I left Misha’s call behind and spoke to the vice-captain.

“Versil Gowland.”

“yes. Please speak.”

A voice that is kind but doesn’t show any emotion other than that.

No sympathy or curiosity.

Well, maybe you thought I was going to be wretched like a chin.

I smiled and asked one thing.

“When moving, why did you put us in the most secure center formation?”

Versil tilted her head.

However, you might have wondered why I was asking such a question.

I just answered what I wanted.

“I cast lots. to be fair.”

Yep, everything this bastard said was a guru.

As expected, the fact that we were placed in the middle formation was not thanks to the chin.

‘Okay, it’s been confirmed that he’s a naughty bastard.’

Like it or not, I will have to work with the three abandoned teams in the future. It becomes clearer how to treat the chin.

“Is that the end of the question?”

“No, one more thing.”

“Try it.”

“Did you say they were encamping in the aisle? I’d love to hear that in more detail. How is the layout and how much power is it?”

“… … Are you planning on breaking through with each other?”

So, did you just think you were going to die here?

“If you need.”

In the first place, I only came to this place comfortably for a while, but that was my destination from the beginning.

So nothing will change.

“So what is the answer?”

At my prompt, Versil paused for a moment and stared at me.

“… … He’s really a go-to person. like. Xenia?”

“yes. Deputy Chief.”

“Go and tell me all your questions.”

“Yes.”

Versil then sent me a sniper on his team, and I listened to the woman roughly around her.

And maybe 5 minutes have passed?

“Zenia, come here.”

All preparations were completed for the use of magic, and vice-captain Versil looked at us and left with only one word.

“Please don’t complain.”

It meant that from now on, we had to get through it on our own.

Well, there is nothing to be surprised about.

***

“… … Really gone.”

As more than half of the people disappeared, the vacancy felt even bigger.

But the more I did, the more I focused on one thing.

What should I do now?

Well, it wouldn’t be a waste of precious time pondering over the feelings of disappointment.

“Mr. Yandel, what are you going to do now?”

“Think for a moment.”

There are two options.

Or go through the route that Versil had given up and head to the center, where it was originally planned.

Or turn around and find another place.

The latter wasn’t a bad option either.

‘If you stay on the outskirts, you can survive.’

In the center, war is in full swing.

In the outermost part, the strongest men of Noark are blocking the way.

On the other hand, there will be relatively few people on the outskirts.

The area is large, so if you dodge it well and hide, how can you survive?

However… … .

‘You don’t know how things are going.’

This is the biggest drawback.

In this chaotic state where every minute and every second flows differently.

If you just hide, you won’t be able to get information on how things will turn out.

furthermore… … .

‘At the third day, the hierarchical monarch appears.’

The first floor lords cannot be defeated by ourselves.

If it was even summoned during the Zionver, it would surely be annihilated.

“I should check the power first.”

“yes?”

“Would you all like to get together?”

I put my judgment on hold and brought the other two teams together.

And I immediately got to the point.

“Take turns one by one and tell me the explorer rank, the essence eaten, and the special skill.”

“Are you going to cover all the bottoms?”

“In the meantime, is that important? We have to work together to make this happen.”

“You speak as if you were a captain.”

My chin frowned at my suggestion.

Even if it wasn’t as good as him, everyone didn’t like it when I naturally spoke like a leader.

ugh, annoying

“Does it matter who the captain is? Even in this situation, if you care about that kind of thing, I’ll see all the idiots.”

“… … What, what? What are you doing now—”

“If you want it that way, you decide first. Well, can I vote?”

I naturally led the topic by voting.

That’s because Erwen is here.

If a member of the other team casts one vote for me, the judgment is that I will never lose the vote.

However, things took a slightly unexpected turn.

“I don’t think it’s necessary to even vote.”

“… … ?”

“If you vote, our team will vote for you.”

These were the words of the man who was the leader of the remaining team.

“Then, if you add up your team and you already have 10 votes, there’s no need to waste time.”

Umm, how does this happen?

To be honest, I’m a little embarrassed.

However, I wonder if this was the case with the chin, and strangely, instead of me, he asked the reason first.

“… … What does that mean? You want a barbarian to lead? Are you sane?”

“First of all, I am not good at leading anyone.”

“Then I’m not a barbarian, of course—”

“If I had to choose between the two, this one would be much more reliable.”

I think I know roughly what you’re thinking.

He must have thought that I was better than the squeaky chin who abandoned the team and tried to live alone.

I heard that there must be another reason.

“Above all, this man was the only one who asked her for information when everyone was just denying reality.”

… … This is kind of embarrassing.

“name is?”

“This is Takelan Arbenon.”

“I am Bjorn, son of Yandel.”

After only formally ending with Takelan, I returned to the original topic.

“Anyway, the decision has been made. Now, take turns one by one and tell them your explorer rank, the essence you ate, and your special skill. That way you can decide what to do next—”

“Wait, who made the decision?”

Ha, this bastard keeps going.

“Any complaints?”

“Of course—”

“Then turn it off. It’s only the two of us who can move together.”

Not wanting to waste any more time, I cut off his words and spoke firmly.

“… … Shit.”

Jaws clenched his fists as if resentful, but did not leave our side.

Seriously, where is he going in the midst of this?

I smiled and said to him.

“If you stop talking to me one more time or break my instructions, then it’s over. Do you understand?”

“… … .”

“Answer me.”

“… … I see.”

Okay, then the sorting is over.

After that, I quickly finished what I was originally going to do.

Who has what position and what essence.

‘Hmm, it’s a little vague.’

I checked the approximate power, but my worries deepened even more.

Should I say I’m still not sure?

So I went through an additional verification process.

“For once, don’t give each other common names. You should be able to call in case of an emergency.”

I gave reasons and heard each and every name.

To be honest, it’s hard to remember everything, but… … .

‘Still, there is no Hans.’

Fortunately, Hans was not there.

It was a pretty positive indicator.

This means that no matter what decision you make in the future, your chances are slightly higher.

“What are you going to do now?”

At Raven’s question, 14 eyes gathered on me.

Time to make a decision slowly.

I cleared my doubts about my choice and opened my mouth.

“We are heading to the safe zone.”

“What do you think the chances are?”

To Takelan’s question, he simply answered with a rotten smile.

I could see just before how meaningless the possibility was, but… … .

One thing was certain.

Not all successful people will survive.

‘I’m half dead.’

In order to get to a place that someone has easily passed through with a single magic trick, we have to risk our lives.
