243 – Warriors of Barathen (5)

The center of the Barathen camp base.

Inside a tent that can accommodate countless people.

All the Lycans called ‘Warriors of Barathen’ were gathered.

A total of 13 warriors gathered in this space where the table was placed.

The number is smaller than expected, but considering that all of them are awakened Lycans with the power of ‘S-class monsters’, it was by no means a small number.

‘The atmosphere is bloody at once.’

I looked around, remaining as expressionless as possible.

Like werewolves, an icon of force, they gave off a violent atmosphere.

Sharp appearance and bulging muscles.

The fist placed on the table is likely to destroy everything at any moment.

A wild spirit hovered around the entire tent, so the members of the crew who were seated with me looked at the surroundings with slightly nervous faces.

‘I don’t have any equipment.’

If I had to point out a peculiar thing, it was that they didn’t have any ‘equipment’.

Weapons, of course, helmets, armor shoes, etc…

There is not a single piece of armor to protect the body.

Even the clothes were not properly equipped, and only a piece of cloth covering the important parts was worn.

It’s a shabby look that makes the expression of war colorless, but maybe it was a natural story for them.

Armor is not essential for Lycans with very high durability and related defense runes, and weapons are not necessary for those who mainly use fighting skills.

As you can see from the [Boiling Wolf’s Power] rune, Lycans are monsters who need to use martial arts to receive support and become stronger.

And most importantly…

There is no ‘blacksmith’ who can make all of this.

Lycans are basically a warlike race.

No matter how many wizards deal with magical powers, they are also combat types after all.

It was the reality of the Lycans that they were treated as weak cowards when they were assigned to a non-mainstream class such as a blacksmith.

“Then, let’s start the warriors’ meeting from now on.”

The leader of the Barathen faction, Tol Barathen.

Enrichten muttered in a low voice.

Then Tak-!

I hear the sound of hitting the table.

Among the Lycans sitting around, he was the one who sat in the middle.

“Toll. I have an objection before the meeting.”

‘Tall’ is a title referring to Enrichten, a Tol barathen.

Unlike other lycans, he speaks comfortably using the Hao body language.

I didn’t know when Haten or Jayten used the title of extreme respect, but it seemed that there was no hard top-down atmosphere among the same warriors.

However, as soon as it starts out of nowhere, the objections that come in…

Enrichten furrowed his brow slightly.

“… what?”

“The inclusion of humans in the meeting of the holy warriors. I wonder if they really deserve to be in the same place as our warriors.”

“You should have already explained them.”

“There is a difference between fighting a war together and strategizing together. We must prove that they are capable and strong enough. This will be a separate issue from the proof of trust.”

… Do you have the ability to strategize?

No, no matter who sees it, I think I’m smarter than you.

I thought so for a moment, but I calmed down and spoke up.

“Enrichten. Didn’t everything go well?”

“Don’t call Toll by his first name!”

“It’s a surprise.”

… This kid can’t do it in words.

Why are you screaming and screaming?

However, when the lycan who objected shouted, the atmosphere quickly turned violent.

The other warriors roared as if they would stand up at any moment, and the members behind me also raised their magic with a stiff face.

After I raised my hand to calm the crew, I spoke to the lycan.

“Hey, what’s your name?”

“… It’s Schilten.”

“Ah, Mr. Schilten? You seem to be misunderstanding something… .”

I raised the magic power from my body and slowly reached it to my fingertips.

As the magic power swirls in my body, the Lycans who notice the presence react immediately.

Even Enrichten was startled and tried to stop me.

But my hand moved faster than that.

bang-!

A palm hitting the table violently.

It strikes with much stronger and more condensed power than when Schilten hit the table the first time.

The specially designed table was cracked, and the movement of the Lycans who tried to stand up stopped.

It’s not just that I stopped because I was flustered by the sudden situation.

In fact, their bodies came to a standstill through the magic power I spewed out.

“Uh, what… .”

“body… !!”

[Forgotten Dragon Knight’s Pride] Special effect.

An effect that applies ‘Dragon Fear’ at the time of the first manifestation of magic, and ‘shrinks’ all targets facing magic.

‘Atrophy’ is basically a status abnormality that lowers the opponent’s abilities for a while, but a slight ‘paralysis’ effect was added in proportion to my rune level and high mental level.

Thanks to this, the lycans stopped for a while due to the paralysis effect and the resulting embarrassment.

In that state, I stuck my head out to Schilten and said.

“We came to this meeting because we were requested and invited, not because we received an order or something. The guest of Toll, whom you rant about so much. Not subordinates.”

I glanced at Enrichten, then looked at Schilten again.

“Looking at it, it looks like Enrichten didn’t explain properly, so you should have raised an objection before the meeting started. In front of a guest who has been formally asked to attend a meeting, what will we become when we come to help if we openly chew on him saying we don’t like it? yes?”

“… … .”

A conversation for a conversation.

power for power.

Let’s drive it with moderately coercive momentum, Schilleten grinds his teeth as if to say something, but soon turns his head.

A pretty dejected look.

He seems to be well aware that he has been pushed behind by logic and momentum.

“… I’m sorry, Jaehyun Do. I guess I didn’t convince the warriors enough. I thought that J-Ten would have been convinced just by giving me a token of trust, but trust in power seems to be another issue.”

After the atmosphere was sorted out, Enrichten handed over an apology first.

I answered him by raising my hand as if it was nothing.

“it’s okay. I can understand it roughly. Did you tell the warriors that we captured Duke?”

“Yes. but… .”

Enrichten turned his gaze to the warriors with a bitter face.

And the warriors who were sitting on their own with an uncomfortable look on their faces.

As soon as I saw that strange atmosphere, I realized.

‘These idiots don’t believe it.’

Those who appear so suddenly and want to join the war.

And from the standpoint of the warriors, the existence of humans who will remain weak.

It seems that such people do not believe that they easily killed the awakened Lycan, a warrior, and the ‘Duke’, who was said to be a key member of the Calak camp.

Even if you’ve heard the story, you’ll probably think, ‘I must have had a hard time catching what Jayten and Haten put to death!’

Moreover, since the [Token of Trust] was also handed over by Jayten, who has not yet awakened, he must have thought that an inexperienced warrior could easily hand it over.

When those feelings were drawn, I understood the current situation.

Since it was Tol Barathen’s suggestion, they followed it, but they couldn’t stand the part they thought they didn’t like.

‘I am.’

A laugh came out of me.

He even made up his mind.

Even if it seems a little sick, what can I do?

In order to clear the dungeon smoothly, it was good to convince these wolves and enter the war with a certain trust.

Otherwise, the crew could be really dangerous.

“Do Seung-min holder.”

“Yes, Chief of Staff.”

“Bring that.”

that.

It was Do Seung-min, who was hard to find even with his fingernails, but he knew what it meant in this situation.

He hurriedly packed his magic bag and took out a few items.

A crystal ball that glows in a brilliant color.

It was the [Record Crystal Orb] containing the video of the raid’s dungeon raid.

widely-.

I handed the [Record Orbs] I took out on the table to the warriors one by one and said.

“This is a record of how our raid team hunted the Lycans and Jurgens of the Calak camp. Please check for yourself.”

Although it’s a bit embarrassing because it contains a lot of my own performance, anyway, that record is the most certain proof.

Even the Lycans who looked at the records in dubious doubt…

He quickly opened his eyes wide and made a surprised face.

“Unbelievable… !”

“Five Jurgens alone, in an instant… ?”

“Humans can be this strong… .”

Even Enrichten had never seen this video, so he too watched the record with a startled face.

The sight of the warriors of Barraten gathering in groups of threes and threes to watch our battle video feels very awkward.

I cleared my throat and focused my gaze on him.

“Are you all convinced now?”

The first to answer was Schilten.

“Yeah, that’s right. I have offended a mighty warrior. I apologize.”

This bastard, it turns into Haoche right away.

Anyway, starting with Schilten’s apology, the mood of the other warriors completely softened.

The wariness towards outsiders has already disappeared as a [proof of trust].

In addition to this, the military power was proven, so there was no reason for the warriors to reject us any longer.

Satisfied with the completely changed atmosphere, I turned to Enrichten.

“Then, it’s very late, but let’s resume the meeting, Enrichten. I have one very good strategy.”

“Operations? what is that… .”

And, at the suggestion of a strategy that came out of nowhere, Enrichten put on a questionable face.

I smiled and looked around his body.

His empty clothes without any armor.

And before this attack…

The production equipment that Choi Yoo-min and Lee Hyeon-ho asked for with a large amount of money.

That was the crux of this operation.
