86 – Kingdom short selling method 22

Bahamut did not have much knowledge of combat.

In some situations, he was good at reading the flow by rolling his hair and extracting his own gains. He wasn’t very bright when it came to wielding a sword or using magic.

However, even Bahamut knew about the current situation.

It means that the battle in front of me is going quite unfavorably against Ophelia.

Elios, who was focused only on defense without counterattacking, and Ophelia, who was fiercely attacking.

However, at that moment, the appearances of the two were completely opposite to the seemingly frozen war situation.

-visor!-

“Kuk!”

“Whoops~”

Ophelia brandishes her sword with a nervous expression.

Elrios, on the other hand, was laughing and blocking her blow with such tremendous power.

What I feel in it is leisure and pleasure.

It wasn’t a life-and-death battle, it was like a girl playing with a fun toy.

‘Still, it’s not too far behind… As expected, it is impossible to defeat that White Dragon Princess with only our strength.’

Still, I put a little hope on it just in case, but Bahamut eventually had no choice but to give up on that side cleanly.

‘Aside from condensation and body strengthening, you’re not using any other magic right now, are you saying that the second person in the world has a different view? At this rate, there’s nothing wrong with mobilizing all the hidden adventurers.’

Concluding that, Bahamut watched the confrontation unfolding in front of his eyes for a while and began to slowly measure the timing.

‘At a time like this, nothing good would come of stimulating the princess.

-CHIJIJIJI!!!!-

Karl’s greatsword and two swords collided with a sharp sound.

It wasn’t just the sound of swords colliding, it was the result of a collision between magical powers rotating at super high speed.

To give an analogy, this was like holding a chainsaw for killing rather than a sword, and the impact began to be transmitted to the two people holding the sword intact.

“Chit!…”

Ophelia automatically begins to frown.

Her hands were already full of calluses as a warrior, but at this moment, the skin on her palms was already tearing and blood was flowing.

‘Never… I can’t lose… Never…’

However, despite this, Ophelia was enduring the pain with her teeth clenched.

The enemy in front of her eyes is not another person, but an existence that tries to touch her master.

Even if he were to die here, he had to stop it.

“aaa!!!”

“!”

The next moment, Ophelia squeezed out all her strength and pressed down on the sword she was facing.

The sudden reversal of power began to push the hand that was blocking the opponent’s attack.

At this, Ellios’ face began to look embarrassed for the first time.

But..

“under! Do you think it will be like that?”

-visor!-

The next moment, Elios pushes Ophelia’s sword hard.

As the impact was unbearable for a moment, Ophelia’s body, along with the sword, was pushed back and began to roll on the floor.

“Kuh..”

Fortunately, Ophelia corrects her posture, but can’t get up easily.

At this, Ellios’ mouth filled a cold smile, and at the same time, her body began to rush toward Ophelia.

Against this, Ophelia tries to take a defensive stance.

just then,

“Enough, both of you!”

“!”

“yes?”

A shrill voice called in the next moment.

As a result, the eyes of the two people unknowingly turned to that direction.

Standing there is Bahamut, and… the people in black robes who are caught in the hands of the adventurers around him…

“! What.. what.. how can I get those guys..”

Elios removes the smile remaining on his face.

Seeing this expression of her, who had not lost her composure from start to finish, Bahamut forcibly suppressed a slight smile on his lips.

“The battle ends here. Then, next time, I would like to have a negotiation time that can be a little boring for the princess, but would you please forgive me?”

“… ..chi..”

At that, Elios clicked his tongue and put the sword back right after he had finished his brief thought.

Seeing her like this, Bahamut let out a small sigh of relief.

‘As expected.. No matter how incarnated it is on the battlefield, the heart of caring for the subordinates is quite strong. Just like the original..’

That being said, I was in no position to prolong the current situation for very long.

Even though they’re holding hostages here, if that White Dragon Princess gets really pissed off and fires her magic, they’ll be swept away.

With that fact in mind, Bahamut spoke to her in the most polite voice possible.

“Thank you for responding to the conversation. I am very happy to meet the princess of the Dragona Empire in this way..”

“Stop making noise and talk about your business. What are you going to do with my men held hostage?”

Elios speaks in a sharp voice.

Bahamut felt like his hair was standing up again because of the life contained within him. After suppressing those emotions, he spoke while remaining as calm as possible.

“Don’t be so angry, all I want is a peaceful ending. I have no intention of making unreasonable demands on the princess.”

“peace?”

“Yes, that peace that was planned from the beginning, and that even Elios-nim at this moment is not willing to touch it.”

“!…”

At Bahamut’s words, Elios began to make a surprised expression while suppressing the anger in his face.

Then, a smile began to form on her lips again, but there was no ridicule like before.

“indeed… You were noticing that far, did you?”

“Didn’t you lead only such a small number of people during the war? In addition, the attitude so far that the witnesses did not want to leave a single person behind. Guessing from my brief observations, it’s probably… something like that, right? Our Dragona Empire has nothing to do with this incident, and this is entirely due to the conflict between Hungary and Sakiel. same thing.”

“Whoops! Whoops…”

Elios starts laughing at Bahamut’s words.

Seeing her reaction, Bahamut continued to speak clearly.

“No matter how Drago or the Empire is, breaking an international treaty like this would be quite a burden, so you came here with your direct subordinates in order to keep the trust and get the maximum benefit. To secretly help Sakiel and annihilate the royal family and nobles of the Kingdom of Hungary.”

“Uhuhuhuh!! Ahahahahaha!! Ahahahaha!!!”

Elios starts to burst into madness at those words.

Hearing her lively and terrifying laugh, the adventurers and Ophelia unknowingly frowned slightly, but Bahamut, who actually drew out her laughter, finally began to put on a faint smile.

“Sigh… Good.. good.. really good. What a fun guy. I hope… I didn’t know that among human men there could be such an interesting guy.”

With those words, Eleos slowly withdrew the smile from his lips.

Then, with a serious expression on her face, she asked Bahamut.

“therefore? What do you specifically want me to do?”

“It’s simple. First, as soon as the negotiations are over, give up the part about Hungary and return as it is. The second is to immediately stop all interference and support for the Sakiels. And the last one…”

“!…”

The first two were already known, but right after hearing the third condition from Bahamut’s mouth, Elios’ expression slightly collapsed again.

“Did you know that? How the hell…”

“I’m sorry, but it’s difficult to tell you about that part because it’s a trade secret. Anyway, now that I have stated all of my conditions, I would like to hear your answer now.”

“..hmm..”

Ellios pondered for a while at Bahamut’s words.

However, it didn’t take much longer than expected for the answer to come out of her mouth.

“I get it. Don’t do that. I had no intention of accepting that traitor anyway.”

“Thank you very much for saying that, Princess.”

Right after that conclusion was reached, Elios once again clearly imprinted the image of Bahamut in front of him in his head, and then began to slowly walk forward.

‘He’s a really funny guy. To the extent that I want to make it mine, not my mother’s…’
