Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 211

It is said that the supply unit members have been decided.

It is said that the total of 15 members included Ellis and, unexpectedly, Selina and Beatrice.

Even though Ellis called me because I needed something, Selina and Beatrice were surprising.

It was surprising that I didn’t call them separately, but Count Vane and Skylar gave them permission.

When I asked Bane, she said that she called me because it was good to experience a melee and there was no other opportunity like this.

It’s just strange that he pushes his own daughter into a corner.

‘But it’s true that their power can be helpful.’

Beatrice is a 5th Circle wizard and Selina is an Auror user who has awakened her Aura.

It’s strange that it doesn’t help with power.

‘The inspectors who came with me said they were going back this time, so the annoying lump will go away.’

They are useless even if they are here.

They were so scared that I wondered how on earth they became Auror users.

They are of no help.

“What do they say?”

“They told me to prepare quickly.”

Bane answered with a slightly stiff face.

preparation.

It means preparing for war against barbarians.

They are saying that since Daejeon Temple has completed preparations, we should prepare accordingly.

“What about the commander?”

“It’s always the same.”

The Marquis of Easton was unable to say anything for a long time, as his face was filled with emotions such as futility and astonishment at the news we brought him.

Who would have created this result?

And would you have thought like this?

The content was so absurd that even though I knew it wasn’t a joke, I was asked not to joke.

‘The opposition from the knights was also strong.’

Regardless of the fact that the South could become peaceful, the knights showed great resistance to helping the barbarians.

It was inevitable that they would live their whole lives fighting against barbarians.

Because of the barbarians, I lost my comrades, my family, and my lover.

They had to fend off the attacks of the barbarians to the point where they lived without knowing that they had time to spare.

Hate Anger.

Everyone here knew very well that it was impossible to change all those emotions at once.

I needed time to erase those feelings, or rather, to push them away.

Time to understand and embrace the way of thinking of barbarians.

but.

‘There’s no need to do that.’

It’s not like we’ll be allies with the barbarians for the rest of our lives, but we’ll be on their side just this once.

They just need to understand them and kill the barbarians like they normally do.

However, some of them must be excluded.

I don’t know what the outcome will be when this war is over, but we have to fight them again.

So there is no need to understand them and suppress anger and hatred.

‘I guess I can suppress that level of emotion for the greater good.’

The reason they protected the South was for peace.

A cordon to keep barbarians from moving up from the south.

That’s Easton.

They were not so foolish as to squander the opportunity to eliminate the source of the threat.

I didn’t have a strong sense of pride.

Therefore, even those who opposed it at first agreed after hearing sufficient explanation.

It was a chance that could possibly be the last.

How could you give up something you have longed for?

“We will strike first two days after the supply unit arrives.”

Bane said, walking next to me.

After we returned, Daejeon Temple came to visit us in person or set a location to meet and negotiate.

There was only one thing waiting for Daejeon and us.

The chief’s carelessness.

The morale of the barbarians who had swallowed the red hawk was sky-high.

The chieftain was not only able to swallow the red hawk, but also tried to eat the elves.

In fact, if even the elves bow down to the barbarians, there will be no force to oppose them.

Although Easton exists, it is difficult to hold on if the balance of power is lost.

It was unclear whether they would be able to return alive without help from the central government.

‘It looks like Daejeonsa is doing well.’

Normally, the barbarians would have been at war with the elves or us by now.

Considering their mood, it’s hard to believe they’re still sitting still.

The fact that they were quiet during a time when they could have attacked meant that the great warrior was keeping his promise.

One of the things that came out of the negotiations was that Daejeon Temple would buy us enough time.

It was to buy time, but it was also to induce the chief to let down his guard.

It could be touched once in a while, as if checking the liver, but judging from the fact that there has been no record of such a thing yet, Daejeon Temple was doing its job well.

And through a recent contact, I learned that the day of final action is just around the corner.

‘It would be nice to have Mahol at times like this.’

Although he did not reach the realm of the Master, Mahol has grown to the point where he can deal with even the Master if he prepares well.

If he is there, things can be resolved relatively easily.

Although he specializes in night and surprise attacks, even if he fights like a knight, he is at the intermediate level of a sword expert.

What’s unfortunate is that he went to the empire with Baan, the third prince of the empire.

But I can’t call him again.

He has work to do.

The distance from the empire to this place is long, and he must not leave the empire’s first princess’s side.

The empire is a place full of secrets.

You never know at any moment that you might die, whether from poisoning or an ambush.

Therefore, Mahol had to be by her side at all times.

‘It’s nice to have it, but just because it’s not there doesn’t mean things won’t work.’

There are two masters, and even though I am not a master, I can be of some great help.

In addition, there are the wizards of the 5th Circle, Selina, who has awakened as an Auror, and the soldiers and knights of Easton who have lived in the South all their lives and know the habits of barbarians better than anyone else.

The situation was better than ever since the great war would cause division among the barbarians.

Moreover, this time even the elves are helping.

They said they would return the favor to me and that they would do everything they could to help.

If this happens, losing becomes even weirder.

Nevertheless, the reason for being cautious is simple.

Even though the barbarians themselves do not have aurors, they have strong bodies that are comparable to those of auror users, and they are wary of the chieftain who became a master among them.

He was already a powerful barbarian.

A barbarian with a body so enormous that even Bane was left speechless became the Master.

Maybe not even Bane can win against him.

No, it’s almost like that.

It was like that when we saw that Arjuna, who had trained himself as a master for many years at the same time as becoming a master, lost.

The chieftain of the barbarians is strong.

‘At that time, all I thought was that if I caught it, I would die.’

When I entered the territory of the Great Temple, the barbarian chieftain I encountered was giving off a strange and incomprehensible atmosphere.

The power inherent in him was so unpredictable that even the dragon Liems was nervous.

“It’s going to be a difficult time.”

“Many people will die. “Maybe we will lose.”

Bane rarely said anything negative.

The worst case scenario is that we could lose.

However, this defeat has a different tone and feeling than other defeats.

If you lose this war, defeat will lead directly to death.

Of course, I might be able to escape on my own.

With Riems’ help, we might be able to escape.

But the other party members are different.

There was no way the Chief would miss his main forces, Vain and Arjuna, and there was no way he would let go of the people of Easton, who were a thorn in his eyes.

They will either be annihilated or made into slaves.

‘I might die before I can settle the matter with Ahar.’

Then it would seem so vain.

Why did I try so hard?

“Isn’t it too negative from the beginning?”

“You might think so. But it’s not a bad idea to assume the worst and prepare for it. Because what if always exists.”

“That’s… it’s like that again.”

It’s not wrong.

Things don’t always work out the way you want and there are times when things fail.

So it’s not a bad thing to prepare for that time.

On the contrary, it may be helpful and it is a preparation for an emergency.

“Lord Bane, do you think we will lose this war?”

“…hmm.”

He didn’t answer right away.

If someone other than me had asked this question, he would have said no without delay.

I would have boosted morale by saying I could win no matter what, but I am different.

I stayed here with him for over two months and became closer in many ways.

I also revealed quite a few secrets.

It was only recently that I called him Sir instead of Count.

And more than anything, I know that no good will come from hiding such things from me.

Because I know that I am not the type to go around spreading the word, and I could be said to be the main culprit(?) of this.

It helps to be honest with myself.

“Honestly, I don’t know.”

I nodded to the half-hearted answer that neither said we could win nor that we would lose.

No one can be sure about the current situation.

There were so many variables in the war, and more than anything, the image of the chief I saw at that time left such a lasting impression that it still remains vivid in my mind.

Even if you are not a chieftain, it is true that the war itself cannot be judged on victory or defeat.

I thought I would win, but it’s a battlefield where I could lose due to unexpected variables.

Knowing that, I had no choice but to agree with his answer.

“I see… Then I guess I’ll have to try to win.”

Bane nodded when I told him that I should use more strength.

Just because we worry like this doesn’t mean we can stop the war.

So it’s better to think positively.

After that, I had many conversations with Bain.

I couldn’t sleep well, perhaps because I was thinking about war coming soon.

Time passed as quickly as an arrow flies.

“young master!”

The supply unit arrived.

We welcomed them as they entered safely without being checked by the barbarians.

“long time no see.”

“I don’t know why you’re always like this, Master. Accidents and accidents never stop happening wherever you go. Now there’s even a war…”

Ellis started nagging me as soon as she met me.

I don’t think she originally felt this way, but those three months changed her.

Her face was noticeably gaunt, as if she had been worried while I was down in the South.

I asked her with a wry smile, as she was still nagging me.

“Did you bring what I told you to bring?”

“yes. “I brought it with me, but… do I really need that much?”

Ellis glances around.

Her eyes check the state of armament of the soldiers surrounding the supply unit.

And he tilts his head.

In her opinion, their armament was not shabby.

In response to her reaction, I started talking about elves.

“It’s not for us. The forest clan over there will use it. “It must be so poor.”

What I asked of her was nothing special.

Weapons and magic tools that elves can be armed with.

Because it was such a huge amount, quite a bit of money was lost.

I could ask Count Millennium for a favor, but I don’t want to be in debt for no reason.

Alice didn’t understand what I said, but she responded as if she did.

As I was telling her that I had a hard time coming, I saw two women among the supply troops.

Women with bright silver hair and long, passionate red hair.

They looked around and made eye contact with me.

“long time no see.”

“long time no see.”

Selina and Beatrice approached.
