Chapter 340 initiative (4)
“Have you all arrived?”
“Everyone has arrived except for Seiran.”
In response to Baek Woojin’s question, Guy lowered his head slightly.
“When is the meeting held?”
“It looks like it will open tomorrow at noon as scheduled.”
“all right. I will come to you tomorrow.”
“Yes. then… .”
Gayen closed the door silently and went outside, pretending that she was alive.
“Edgar Seiran, the lord of Seiran Castle, is virtually the leader of the Union. He thinks he is the main character, so he must be late.”
Daffle sighed and put down the fork.
“What is Edgar Say?”
“He has a reputation for being the fastest tester. He has long since reached absolute heights.”
“So, is he the strongest in the Seiran Alliance?”
“no. The owner of Shukan Castle, Lecter Fried, is no less strong. You two have been rivals since childhood.”
“Then that’s definitely not the case.”
“Yes. that’s right.”
“Edgar and Lecter Frieda… .”
Baek Woojin clasped his hands and clasped his chin.
‘The two seem to have a relationship with their father.’
-Shukan and Seiran have been rivals since time immemorial. It seems that relationship continues to this day.
Darkness raised the blade slightly as if thinking about the past.
‘Then, as you said before, Shukan and Seiran will not move together.’
– There will be very few. Is the alliance really being forced to do it?
‘Okay then.’
Baek Woojin grinned as he read the papers with the rules of the union lying next to the table.
‘You can play with anything you want.’
**
The imperial palace of the empire that soared into the sky. In front of it was a building that soared higher than the Imperial Palace.
It was not a spire, nor a watchtower, nor a horse tower. that’s a temple. It was a temple dedicated to the new state religion of the Empire, Kabaron.
Unlike the imperial palace, which looked dark, the temple of Kabaron shimmered as white as snow, as if it were covered in white light. If anyone who didn’t know saw it, it was enough to think that the temple of Kabaron was an imperial palace.
Murian approached in front of the pure white temple.
“See you, Vice-Chairman!”
The paladins and priests guarding the temple retreated to the side and bowed their heads.
“Who is the new chief?”
“I am waiting inside.”
“I get it.”
Murian nodded and opened the door of the temple. The door opens silently, revealing a panoramic view of the temple.
The entire interior was painted with platinum, and the red carpet on the floor was free of even the slightest dust, and the stone statues piled up all over the temple were vivid as if they were about to take off.
jerk.
Murian walked down the splendid and sacred road and approached the priest who was looking at the stone statue of Kabaron.
“I’m seeing the new chief!”
Murian knelt and bowed his head to the head priest who turned his back.
“haha… .”
The new director looked up at the stone statue of Cabaron and shed a dismayed laugh.
“He was special.”
“Yes?”
“It’s Baek Woojin who fought with you.”
Director Shin continued while looking at the stone statue.
“I totally ruined your stage I was trying to prepare.”
“Hey, what… .”
“I sent Maroon, a priest and an army to clear Linden Castle, but it was blocked by him.”
“Ah… .”
“I didn’t see anything like that in the oracle he gave me.”
The headmaster slowly turned his back.
“Ugh… .”
Seeing this, Murian swallowed dry saliva. Contrary to his soft voice, the priest chief’s eyes were exuding a life that made him shudder.
“He is dangerous. More than you and I expected.”
The chief priest placed his hand on the head of the crowd on his knees.
“Chief, chief priest.”
The crowd hardened, unable to lift a single finger from the absolute touch.
Chewy!
The white light that burst from the head of the priest’s hand blew out like smoke and covered Murian’s whole body.
“Hey, this!”
Murian widened his eyes. The seal on his heart was broken, and his power was rising.
“The seal has been lifted. This is the first time the seal has been completely unlocked, so it will take some time to get used to its power.”
The priest took his hand off the head of the crowd and stepped back.
“Go to Linden Castle as soon as you finish adjusting to the energy. Rip to death Baek Woojin, and burn Linden Castle and Rhine Forest.”
“Ah… .”
Unable to control the pulsing energy, the crowd clenched both of his fists tightly.
‘Is it possible! With this power, anything is possible!’
Not only Baek Woojin, but even the lords of the Seiran Alliance can win if they attack at once. An omnipotent power capable of doing just about anything was wriggling in his heart.
“I take orders!”Murian lowered his head to touch the floor and stood up.
“I believe in you.”
“I will not let you down!”
The chief priest smiled softly and patted the group’s shoulder, and the group’s head nodded and turned his body to walk to the exit.
“… … .”
There was, however, something that Morian didn’t know. Unlike the mouth of the priest who smiles at him, his eyes are not smiling.

smart.
The next day, while Baek Woojin was meditating, a knock was heard.
“Inspector. It’s time.”
Sylvia opened the door and bowed her head.
“The other castle lords are already waiting in the conference room.”
“all right. Let’s go.”
Baek Woojin nodded his head and stood up.
– You’re late.
‘Originally, the main character enters last. You’ve seen a lot of dramas.’
-You say you’re the main character with your mouth. under… .
Darkness waved its blade as if it was absurd. He smiled at the sight and followed Sylvia to the conference room on the second floor.
“Go in.”
The butlers who confirmed Baek Woojin and Sylvia opened the large door of the conference room.
Upon entering, the five lords were seated around a huge round table.
However, in the center seat, which could be called the top seat, was not Bullfort, but a blue-haired middle-aged man with a nice gray beard.
– That guy is Seiran Seongju.
‘I think so.’
Baek Woojin nodded. Except for his position, he was superior just by looking at the force he had.
“It is an honor to see the famous black swordsman like this. My name is Edgar, the lord of Seiran.”
“This is Baek Woojin.”
Edgar nodded his head slightly as he sat down, and Baek Woojin greeted him the same way.
“However, this meeting is where only Seongju can attend. I’m sorry, but if you leave… .”
“I attended as an agent.”
“deputy?”
“Sungju Linden suddenly became ill, so I joined instead.”
“Ugh… .”
“The rules of the Seiran Union say that if the lord cannot attend the meeting, he must send a proxy, isn’t it?”
“Well, then there is no problem.”
Edgar nodded his head. His eyes flashed blue for a brief moment.
“My name is Faiden, the lord of Furon Castle.”
“I am Tilly, the owner of Kelden Castle.”
“I am Kutan, Lord of Rendanus.”
When Edgar’s permission fell, the three lords also introduced themselves in turn.
“Ugh.”
Bulfor looked at him and just lowered his head.
“Excuse me today. This is Baek Woojin.”
Baek Woojin bowed politely and sat down on the right side with Sylvia.
creak.
As soon as we sat down, the door to the conference room opened again.
jerk.
A short, red-haired man who looked as hard as steel sat down opposite Edgar with his eyes full of passion.
‘Absolute state.’
It is as strong as Edgar’s. This man seemed to be Lecter Fried, the lord of Shukan Castle.
“You are a black swordsman. From what I’ve heard, you’re very handsome! Lecter Fried!”
As expected, he greeted his eyes with a loud voice that looked like he had boiled a train barrel.
“This is Baek Woojin.”
Baek Woojin bowed his head slightly.
“… … .”
We got to know each other, and even though we all got together, no one spoke.
“Barex Seongju.”
“Oh, yes!”
At Edgar’s call, Bullfort jumped to his feet. He was so nervous that he seemed to have forgotten that he had to lead the meeting.
“Everyone is gathered, so let’s start the meeting.”
Bulfort glanced at her and approached the wall.
“The main agenda for today’s meeting is the castle of Linden and the Rhine Forest.”
He pointed to the Linden Castle and the Rhine Forest in the continental inversion spread out on the wall.
“These two are currently at the forefront of our coalition and are under great threat from the Empire. Three years ago, when I barely stopped the imperial invasion, I told them to move to Seiran, but they both refused.”
“that’s right.”
“I know it was really dangerous this time. If the black swordsman had not arrived in time, the castle itself would have collapsed.”
“That’s right too.”
Sylvia nodded her head frankly.
“Now stop being stubborn. Guarding Linden Castle won’t do you any good.”
Furon Castle Lord Faiden shook her head.
“right. Besides, it was already decided at the previous meeting.”
Kutan, Lord of Rendanus, agreed and touched his hand.
“Well… .”
Sylvia bit her lip and looked at Baek Woojin. He didn’t answer, and his eyes were closed.
‘It’s up to me to decide.’
Baek Woojin seemed to have given him a chance to make his own choices.
“Then I will tell you again. I refuse.”
“what?”
“No, why!”
“In Linden Castle and in the Rhine Forest, there is a World Tree. No one will deny that the reason the imperial invasion was delayed is because of the World Tree.”
“You know the world tree is important. But what really matters is the whereabouts of the war. We must unite and drive back the imperial invasion. Even if the World Tree lives, what does that mean if we all die?”
When Edgar opened his mouth, the other four lords nodded.
“Hmm… .”
“Ugh!”
After receiving Baek Woojin’s gaze, Bullfor stopped as he nodded. But since he was behind him, no one saw him.
“What do you think of the black swordsman who is the agent of Linden Castle?”
“I think it’s better to stay like this.”
At Edgar’s question, Baek Woojin looked around and opened his mouth.
“Because it’s dangerous!”
“You never know when and how they will invade!”
“Fine. No matter when or how you come, I can protect you. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Hoo… .”
“Hmm… .
Edgar frowned at the confident answer, and Lecter Fried smiled with admiration.
“Then we have no choice but to vote. This is the second time, and if there are more than five votes on the motion, the decision must be followed.”
“Wait.”
Baek Woojin raised his hand as Edgar was about to give instructions to Bullfort.
“I heard that the five early members of the Seiran Alliance always had the same opinion, but isn’t this at a disadvantage for us?”
“We are not one body, so how can we always have the same opinion? It is absurd.”
Edgar smirked, waving his hand.
“It means that it makes sense for the majority to choose, so I hope you will accept it without any misunderstanding.”
“It’s narrower than what I heard.”
“Yeah. I can’t believe the rumors.”
“haha… .”
Edgar rolled up the corners of his mouth as if sneering against his soft words, and began to mock in a soft voice that the other lords would also hear.
– That’s annoying.
Darkness twisted the blade.
– Sneaky bastards who secretly ridicule.
When I saw dogs who only followed the opinions of the strong without thinking for themselves, laughing at Baek Woojin, I got angry.
‘do not worry. I’ll give it back to you.’
Baek Woojin gave off his cool eyes and tapped the darkness.
“Then, if there are four in favor and four in denial, will this agenda become a thing of the past?”
“Of course. If that happens, I will never bring this up again.”
Edgar nodded his head as if to do anything he could. However, the corners of his lips were raised higher, as he thought that there was no such thing.
“I believe.”
“Fufu, then let’s start right away. Barex Castle.”
“Oh, yes!”
Bullfort licked her lips and stepped forward.
“Gee, from now on, I will vote on the issue of moving personnel from Linden Castle and Rhine Forest to Seiran. If you agree, please raise your hand.”
As soon as Bul Fort finished speaking, Edgar raised his hand. The three remaining lords also raised their arms after him.
Of course he and Sylvia stayed still, and Lecter Fried didn’t even break his arms.
“It’s four people.”
Baek Woojin gently turned his head and folded his fingers.
“Well?”
Edgar’s eyes widened after counting the number he raised his hand to. Bull Fort was not raising his hand.
“Barex Seongju! You, the host, have the right to vote too!”
“Oh, I know.”
“But what are you doing! Why don’t you raise your hand!”
“… … .”
Despite Edgar’s direct pointing, Bullfort did not raise his hand. His trembling gaze was directed at Baek Woojin, not Edgar.
“no way… .”
“It’s 4 for and 4 against. If this happens, the agenda will be invalidated, and there will be no need for this agenda to come up again, right?”
Baek Woojin drew attention by tapping the table with his finger.
“What have you done?”
“What are you doing? I and Barex Seongju are not one body, and he chose it for himself. The majority did not choose it, so I hope that the facts will be accepted without any distortion.”
He said the same thing as Edgar, and raised the corners of his mouth like that.
“Does that make sense!”
Faiden, the lord of Furon, slammed the table and stood up.
“Because you’ve been tinkering… Ouch!”
Faiden, who spit out abusive language, trembled like a person who had been blown away by the cool air waves that Baek Woojin had made.
“Are you not careful?”
“iced coffee… .”
As Baek Woojin released his momentum, Faiden sat down on the chair as if he had collapsed.
“Seiran, Holy Lord. Please confirm whether the agenda has been canceled or not.”
“… This agenda is cancelled.”
Edgar nodded his head, letting out a thin sound as if grinding his teeth.
“Ah!”
At that, Sylvia put her hands together and smiled broadly.- Ha ha ha ha!
Darkness looked around the castle lords and burst into madness.
– You are paying it back unconditionally! This sassy bastard!
Baek Woojin took Edgar’s lines as is and fucked the lords.
He was cool because he was on the same side, but if he had been an enemy of this guy, he would have been groaning in frustration.
“Then the reason we got together today is over, so I’m going to propose an agenda.”
“agenda?”
“Yes. It’s not that difficult.”
Baek Woojin approached the continent where Bullfort stood. Vulfort flinched as he approached and stepped aside.
“Is the Seiran Alliance’s front line here now?”
east end. With just one finger, he pointed to the place where the sea was.
“That’s right.”
“My suggestion is to move this wire here.”
He moved his finger to the trading city of Ramelun, a little south of the center of the continent.
“What nonsense!”
“What nonsense!”
“Why are you so simple there!”
The three lords screamed, and Edgar stared at him with bloody eyes.
“At last, someone who speaks the truth has appeared!”
Lecter Fried, the lord of Shukan Castle, who was sitting still like a stone statue, got up with his arms wide open.
“I agree!”
He slammed the table hard and nodded his head.
“How long do you plan to be stuck in this corner? You can’t even eat porridge or rice like this!”
I felt it when I said hello, but Lecter Fried seemed to have a very exciting disposition for his small stature.
“Leading the meeting and thinking about it. I like it very much!”
“To suddenly raise the wire, does that make sense?”
“Something else you can’t do!”
Edgar and Lecter Fried looked at each other and frowned.
“Then how long do you plan on staying here?”
Baek Woojin smiled and stepped forward.
“The Empire can use its captives to create endless black demons. If we have to fight attrition in this corner, the loss will only be the Union.”
“Black devil? how to make it… .”
“We know.”
“Ugh!”
“I, really?”
When he said he knew how to make a black demon, the eyes of the lords shook violently.
“That’s right.”
“How the hell… .”
“I can’t go into detail right now, but it’s not difficult. You can really do anything.”
I took one step forward towards the lords.
“In other words, if you stay here, the war will not stop or end. They will fight endlessly, and in the end they will be eaten by the Empire.”
“That’s right! If you are a knight, you should go forward and fight!”
Lecter said he agreed, clapping his hands for a clapping sound.
“The black swordsman. There is a sense in your words.”
“Uh?”
“exactly. Once there.”
Edgar pointed to the trading city of Ramelun.
“Rameloon is a neutral city. No, as those in the know will know, it is a fact that the Empire has already devoured it. You put the wire up there? That’s impossible. It’s like putting the enemy back and forth.”
“That’s right!”
The other castle lords agreed with Edgar and nodded his head.
“Rameloon has not yet established relations with the Empire. Plus, it’s located almost in the center of the continent, so it’s good to get support from other places.”
“support? Where did you get the support? The whole west has been devoured by the Empire, and there is no way to get support from Preston Castle in the north or the beasts in the south. Besides, Rameloon has already been eaten by the Empire!”
“So the trading city, Preston Castle, and the beast are the problem.”
“exactly. If the trading city supports us, and Preston Castle or one of the beasts goes to war, I don’t know. It is unnecessary to raise the wires under the current circumstances. No, they are all going to die.”
As if to dismiss the sound of Edgar not being able to, he raised his momentum and pressured it, but it wasn’t even tickling that much.
“Then, if you make an alliance with two of the three, the lord of Seiran will agree to raise the front line.”
“Of course! It would be impossible.”
“If that’s the case, I agree.”
“Same!”
Edgar blinked, and the other three lords agreed.
As I kept watching, they looked like Edgar’s puppets. He probably would have done the same if he hadn’t taken the Vul Fort vote.
– Heh heh! I’m going crazy
The darkness shuddered to see if their reaction was expected.
“i See. It’s an alliance… .”
Baek Woojin smiled and put his hand in his arms and pulled out two papers.
“Then that’s it. There are documents here that both Ramelun and Preston Castles and Linden Castles allied.”
“Hey, what is that!”
Conversely, when he was ridiculed, Edgar, who was sitting calmly, could not stand it and shouted.
“Ugh!”
“Ouch!”
He jumped up and gave so much strength that the table split in half with a bang, and the other lords fell backwards.
“This is the alliance between the city of Ramelun and the castle of Preston that the lord said.”
Baek Woojin shook the papers in both hands as if making fun of the lords.
“Like you said, are you agreeing to this agenda to raise the front line?”
