35 – Are you willing to take it easy? I don’t have one?

The top 10 of the Empire, as the name suggests, is one of the strongest in the Empire.

The Empire is a place where excellent knights and wizards literally form a sea of phosphates.

Overwhelming human resources are the empire’s most powerful weapon.

The super-skilled people who have come out among those talented people. That’s the 10th empire.

Slaying a group of monsters single-handedly, fighting on equal footing with the knights, and dealing with the magic corps.

Those who can do things that are impossible for others with only their strength.

That’s why it has been given the honorable title of being one of the top 10 continents.

“….”

But today, Logan, a member of the top 10 Empire.

In an extremely modest and respectful manner, with his hands clasped in front of him.

I was listening to Baron Dagon John Nassen, who was exercising with 4 dumbbells.

Thinking that if I made a mistake, that thing would fly to my face.

“I didn’t expect the two top 10 players to come this soon.”

Even an ogre’s head will burst if caught in its grasp.

There must be some non-humans among their ancestors. I’m sure it will.

Otherwise, would this make sense now?

“I would like to apologize for the sudden visit. Baron Dagon John Nassen.”

Except for the emperor, the crown prince, and other grand dukes, Yulica is easygoing.

Aren’t you talking to Logan, who is 20 years older than you right now?

By the way, she was the one who used honorific words for a baron.

Of course, Logan had no doubts about that part.

To be honest, right now I just want to get down on my knees.

“Do you know why you are here?”

“Roughly.”

Putting down the dumbbells, Baron Dagon lay down on the bench press this time.

Then he took a breath, grabbed the bar, and started lifting the barbell.

A guest has arrived, but his muscle loss is unacceptable.

That was Jon Nassen’s will.

Because of the enormous weight of the disks attached to both sides, the rod is bent.

I haven’t seen anyone lift that much even with the strongest among the top 10.

Even considering his age, he would have been 20 years younger, no matter how bad Throde was.

If Jon Nassen was greedy for the title of the top 10, all of the top 10 would have been people from here.

Gulp, Logan thought as he swallowed dry saliva.

“Not too long ago, strangers came to visit.”

Baron Dagon doesn’t make a single sound of breathing rough even while lifting an enormous barbell.

It’s hard, but I want to pretend that I’m okay because there’s a customer in front of me.

On the contrary, if it’s okay because it’s not really hard, it’s because it’s more terrible.

“They say they came all the way from far west. We, Jon Nassen, have a custom of welcoming and treating guests who enter once, so we allowed them to enter the manor.”

“However, those so-called guests must have actually come from the western kingdom coalition.”

“I did. Did you say that you came this far because you had something to offer?”

Even after that, Baron Dagon’s movement did not stop.

Yulica seemed alright, though, because she noticed that she knew roughly from the beginning.

Logan’s first visit to Baron John Nassen’s territory was literally in a state of shrinking.

“It’s meal time, Head of the House.”

“That’s right. How, did you eat?”

“No. I haven’t eaten.”

“If you can, let’s lift it together.”

“Wouldn’t it be polite to say no?”

At Yulica’s words, Baron Dagon’s eyes asked why he asked when he knew everything.

However, it seems that that gaze was conveyed differently to Yulicana and Logan.

If you don’t eat with us, you’re eating a ancestral meal, she said.

“Go, let’s go. Princess. I can’t wait to treat you to a meal!”

At Logan’s words, Yulica let out a sigh.

By the way, she is a classmate of Lear John Nassen, the eldest son of this place, at the academy.

Thanks to John Nassen, I knew the taste of people very well.

“Enjoy your meal.”

Perhaps she heard the news and came down, Baroness Maria smiles.

And Logan hahahaha! I had to chew on the chicken breast that hadn’t even been seasoned with salt.

Wow, you keep eating this? Not even a molar?

You’re not going to die of choking, are you? Could it be a new type of assassination?

It was truly a meal that made me think of everything.

“I saw your son at the academy.”

After finishing the meal, Yulica first takes her luck.

“You mean Kyle.”

Even though the story of my son came up, there were no words like how are you doing or are you not sick?

You must be doing well. I felt very strongly about that.

“Yes. It was really strong. So, I’m thinking of making him my husband.”

Fuheup!-

Logan, who barely managed to get a glass of water while watching, returns the water to the glass.

What are you talking about again? For what purpose did we come here, Princess?

“That sounds interesting. Will it turn out the way you want?”

Could someone like you be able to claim John Nassen’s man? Means.

“Let’s get down to business.”

Fortunately, the princess didn’t seem to have forgotten why she came here.

“Western proposal. Will you accept the will of union?”

“….”

Baron Dagon did not answer right away.

All I had to do was drink a glass of water in front of me.

“Baron John Nassen.”

Unlike Logan, who was very nervous, Julika entered more actively.

Hurry up and answer me, what decision did John Nassen make here?

Are you really going to engage in another endless battle against the Empire?

She is also a bit nervous, but she waits for her answer without showing it.

How much time has passed since then?

“Two minutes.”

Finally, Baron Dagon began to open his mouth.

“What answer do you think we would have given?”

At the corner of his mouth, he had a smile that made him terrified just by looking at it.

*

Not long before two members of the Ten Rivers entered Baron John Nassen’s territory.

There were people who entered as guests before them.

Read at noblemtl.com

John Nassen’s custom, their law, that a guest, whoever it is, must be served at least once.

They came to the castle of Baron John Nassen and finally revealed their identities.

“Nice to meet you, Baron Dagon John Nassen.”

“We are from the Union.”

Then Baron Dagon, as well as Lear and Leah, who were standing next to them.

Tilting his head, he reacted to hearing the word union for the first time.

Of course it has to be. It wasn’t long before the western kingdoms united.

Baron John Nassen is not interested in such news at all.

“There are kingdoms in the west that the Empire has yet to reach. This time, we have joined forces to fight against the empire’s last conquest ambition, and we have formed a kingdom alliance.”

Coalition emissaries said so with their heads bowed.

Thanks to that, I didn’t notice the change in expression, from a sneaky smile at the part about ‘fighting against’, to a distorted look again at the part about ‘joining forces’.

“Imperial greed knows no bounds. That ambition will one day color this place, Baron John Nassen’s territory. He will surely be sharpening a blade of retribution against you.”

“I beg you to help the Alliance fight against the Empire. I hope that the strong will help the weak and establish justice on the continent once again.”

The emissaries first created an excuse to turn their backs on the Empire.

Is it the ambition of conquest, the protection of the weak, or the justice of the continent?

From the point of view of nobles who live and die for a just cause, these are words that make the heart feel grand just by hearing them.

“….”

“….”

But not Baron Dagon John Nassen, Lear John Nasendo, Leah John Nasendo.

No one at the table gave an answer.

Rather, the look in his eyes was, ‘What are these bastards talking about right now?’.

Meanwhile, the couriers of the Kingdom Union clicked their tongues inwardly as if they knew this would happen.

Those who are crazy about fighting, barbarians who bite people almost like wild dogs.

Those thoughts were the eyes of the coalition looking at John Nassen now.

How many years did they say that the empire, which had pushed many kingdoms in an instant, was held captive by these people?

It was definitely like those who really liked fighting.

Seeing how quiet they are even if they make a cause or a cause.

‘Then I guess I’ll have to move on to the next persuasion method.’

To be honest, I never thought it would go over to justification.

Wouldn’t it be nice if those who were only crazy about fighting were given something like this?

As expected, you should throw a piece of meat dripping with blood at the monster.

“The Alliance will fight the Empire. Once again, we are going to war.”

“War.”

“I hope John Nassen here will also participate in that war. It’s a battle against the Empire. It’s an all-out war, risking everything. There will most likely be a great battle on a grand scale.”

At the words of the emissary, Baron Dagon groaned and touched his chin.

It’s definitely a war, it’s a battle, so it seems like you’re interested in talking about fighting.

It seems that Lear and Leia were also thinking hard about something.

With John Nassen’s appearance, the emissaries became! He shouted inwardly.

These people are said to have bad brains compared to their tremendous physical abilities.

Even if you pretend to be worried like that, it will come over if you stimulate it a little more.

If you think about things that are only fighting, what will be different!

The couriers decided to drive a wedge.

We must have these fighting races participate in the anti-imperial front.

“It’s not difficult! Those of you Jon Nassen do not need to be commanded by our coalition. You just have to fight how you want here. If the alliance first turns its eyes and ears to the empire with a declaration of war, it will take advantage of the gap and attack the empire in a surprise attack….”

Kwajik-.

Suddenly, the sound of couriers crumpling mercilessly hits my ears.

I looked up to see what this meant. Oh my god

“Now what?”

The iron cup in Baron Dagon John Nassen was crumpled like a piece of paper.

A lump of metal that has lost its shape falls from my hand and rolls on the floor.

“Joe, Baron John Nassen?”

“What to do with John Nassen? Surprise attack? Those who aren’t even ready to fight, go after them?!”

It was over. It was a breakdown of negotiations.
