Solo Swordmaster

#316. tell me to do it

* * *

An advertisement put up by the Golden Dragon clan turned the world upside down.

A bounty was placed on criminals. It wasn’t uncommon, depending on the country.

But even that has its limits.

A bounty of 10 trillion was enough to make even those who were not interested in worldly affairs become the incarnation of justice.

And the advertisement, of course, reached the land of severe cold.

“Anyway, what kind of money did Charlotte really want?”

The silver-haired girl sitting on the throne muttered while reading the newspaper, and the maid standing next to her replied with a cold face.

“It is an efficient method.”

“Isn’t it the Golden Dragon clan that has the advantage in fighting over money?”

“Rather than that, the biggest advantage is that you can preserve 100% of the clan’s power.”

“aha. Are you saying that I will leave the small gleaning to the hyenas and only pick up and eat the kernels of executive level or higher?”

Yekathrice clicked her tongue.

I had to admit that it was effective.

Just by spending a few pennies, he made the world, not just the Seven Dragons, pursue the Liberation Brigade.

Of course, if you were a top player or an old guild ruled by a monarch, you wouldn’t be swayed by such tricks.

However, it was enough to drive the Liberation Brigade into a corner even if only high-level players moved halfway.

Because it is composed of point organizations, it is possible to solve the most difficult point of the liberation brigade, which is difficult to subdue individually, with numbers.

One problem.

The only ones who benefit from hunting the liberation brigade like this are the Geumryong clan.

“Hmm, it seems like a good method… but shall we try it too?”

“In that case, the Golden Dragon clan has a 100% chance of raising the bounty.”

“Is that so too?”

Yekathrice scratched her head.

If the bounty is raised through infinite competition, the Golden Dragon clan, which has an advantage in financial power, will be the final winner.

In the end, this was a method that only the richest Golden Dragon clan in the Seven Dragons could do.

But Ekatrice, while admitting to having hit Charlotte, showed no sign of disappointment.

I just shrugged.

“It’s okay. I have my own way of thinking.”

“What method are you talking about?”

“The Liberation Brigade is a player criminal organization, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Then, if all the players are eventually captured, there will be a liberation brigade among them. is not it?”

Trying to find and catch the liberation brigade is getting complicated.

That’s why it’s faster and more efficient to lock all the players in the camp and torture them to find out the brigade members.

Yekathrice said with a bright smile.

Kana shook her head.

“It is indeed a good idea.”

“yes?”

“However, if you do it that way, players will most likely rebel against the princess’s instructions.”

“repulsion?”

the moment I heard that.

Yekathrice blinked.

It’s like hearing an unfamiliar word.

“What about me?”

“yes.”

“Cuk… Cuck Cuck Cuck Kyahahahaha! Kana is really good at making jokes too!”

Yekathrice, who tilted her head and looked at the silver-haired maid, eventually burst into laughter.

I giggled while covering my mouth.

It took a while to hold onto the stomach, roll over on the large throne, and laugh until the wide hall left.

The girl suddenly stopped laughing.

And lie down on the throne

I just tilted my head and looked at Kana.

He said with an ice cold face.

“―If you can, tell them to do it. Killing them all is enough.”

Kana knew.

It is sincerity without exaggeration.

In fact, if Yekathrice gives the order, all players in this country will be 100% obliterated.

She is the Great Khan of the Russian Khanate.

Before he was the owner of the large corporation Bahamut, he was the ruler holding absolute power in this cold land.

But that’s why Kana said.

“It is better to refrain from that method.”

“why?”

“Because if you kill them all before hearing the confession from the players, it will be difficult to prove that you captured the Liberation Brigade.”

“…Ah, that’s right.”

Only then did Yekathrice remember why she tried to capture the players and scratched her head.

The purpose was to capture the Liberation Brigade and obtain shares.

Because he killed all the players, if he didn’t get the stake, there would be no real story.

“Um, then I can’t help it. I have no choice but to go straight ahead.”

I feel genuinely sorry.

One more time to let out a sigh.

Yekathrice continued with an insignificant face.

“Mobilize Okhrana and the KGB to find the Liberation Brigade. It advertises that reporting on player criminals will increase your citizen rating.”

“yes.”

“And activate the Sky eye.”

“…Skyeye is still in an unfinished state, is that okay?”

“You think we’re testing it right now.”

If you want to win the competition, you have no room to spare.

Ekathrice, still lying upside down on the throne, spoke sullenly.

“Isn’t the reason we put a monitoring system into every product we make to use it in times like this from the start?”

“All right. Then we will activate Sky Eye to collect all information related to the Liberation Brigade.”

The secret police are on the move.

All citizens of the Russian Khanate spying on each other.

It was the moment when all the products produced by Bahamut became the eyes and ears of the Silver Dragon clan and began to search for the Liberation Brigade.

* * *

When the Gold Dragon Clan and the Silver Dragon Clan started chasing the Liberation Brigade in their own way.

The Red Dragon clan was also ready to move.

“Princess, the answer came…”

A girl in a baggy military uniform who has been working all night since returning to Egypt to prepare for that.

Nadia said with a tired face.

But Hasneti didn’t look back at Nadia.

I just asked in a muddy voice with my gaze fixed in front of me at the top of the pyramid.

“result?”

“…Only 5 countries responded correctly. At least, there are no warlords ruling right now, so the temporary representative accepted them.”

“Exclude those five places.”

“I thought you would say that, so I already excluded it.”

Then it seems to be done.

Take a moment to observe Hasneti’s silent nodding.

Nadia hesitated before asking.

“By the way, Princess, do you really have to do this?”

“…”

“Honestly, I don’t know if this is the best. There is no guarantee that it will be effective in catching the Liberation Brigade… and it could just be a waste of money.”

“Money doesn’t matter.”

“Yes, I guess…”

Nadia drooped her shoulders.

In the first place, the princess of the Seven Dragons doesn’t know about money worries.

Especially since he knew that to Hasneti, talking about money was tantamount to deaf ears.

However, Nadia couldn’t help but blink at the words that followed.

“It is the same with the Liberation Brigade.”

“…yes?”

“This means that you must not misunderstand the purpose.”

To Nadia, who was bewildered, Hasneti cut it off.

And, as always, he continued to speak in a muddy voice.

“Hunting the Liberation Brigade is all about collecting stakes. In the end, the key is whether or not you can prove your qualifications to the swordsman.”

Hasneti said curtly.

No matter how much you hunt the Liberation Brigade and collect stakes, it is useless if you cannot prove your qualifications yourself.

Even if he could make Limon his sire, it would end there.

It would be the same even if I handed over the stake to Charlotte.

That’s why the most important thing to do is to prove your qualifications rather than hunting down the Liberation Brigade and collecting stakes.

Nadia rolled her eyes at Hasneti’s rare explanation in long words.

“So you’re saying this is a means to prove your qualifications?”

“Yes.”

“In order to prove your qualifications to rule the world, you must first prove that you have the power to do so, right?”

“Think of whether you can give someone who can’t even clean their own house the right to rule the world.”

“…that would be difficult.”

Nadia eventually agreed.

I wonder if the princess made the wrong decision.

It was also my job as an aide to follow me faithfully if I made the right decision.

Even if the profits from food exports are reduced, even if the stomach hurts from enduring huge additional expenses.

“If you subtract 5 out of 391, you get 386…. Even if you process one a day, it will take more than a year.”

“If you solve 10 problems a day, you can solve them in 6 weeks.”

“Can’t it be done in two weeks?”

“….”

“I was just telling you my wishes….” He

looked coldly at Nadia, who was slightly avoiding his bloody eyes.

Hasneti looked ahead again.

“Get out.”

“yes!”

It seems like no more words are needed.

The moment Hasneti gave the command in a muffled voice, Nadia pulled out a walkie-talkie from her backpack and gave the order.

Kururureureung.

A loud roar rang out.

The earth vibrates violently.

A sandstorm swept everywhere.

From massive tanks to trucks loaded with all sorts of supplies, soldiers armed with assorted weapons and more.

The tens of thousands of troops occupying the front of the pyramid split into ten branches and began to advance.

The African continent has been divided into a total of 392 countries after endless wars over the past hundreds of years.

It was the beginning of the war of conquest to unify the numerous countries.

“…The above is the situation of the other clans.”

A woman with long green hair kneeling in an artificial flower garden.

At Barbara’s words, Arbella, who was prostrated next to her, said with a worried face.

“It’s only a matter of time before Princess Geumryong collects shares.”

“Don’t tell me things you aren’t sure about, Arbella.”

“At least it is certain that the Black Dragon Princess will not be able to compete with the Gold Dragon Princess.”

At Arbella’s sharp words, Barbara frowned.

Charlotte puts a bounty on the whole world.

Catherine, who used power and skill.

Hasneti started a war of conquest.

It was clear that the three clans, though in different ways, began to move quickly to raise stakes and prove their qualifications in their own ways.

On the other hand, the Black Dragon Clan and the White Dragon Clan are busy solving the economic sanctions.

At this rate, it was clear that in the end Charlotte would be the most likely winner of the competition.

That’s why Barbara said with a firm face.

“If it means supporting the Black Dragon Clan, that’s up to the princess to decide.”

“Let’s not forget that giving the princess accurate advice is also the job of an aide.”

Barbara and Arbella glared at each other.

Looking at the two twin sisters, Maia opened her mouth coldly.

“There is no need to help Li Qingyu.”

“…is that okay?”

“Do you think that the girl that Heung Swordsman is helping will break down so easily?”

Maia was cynical.

I wonder if it was only the black dragon clan.

It was because Li Qing-yu, who was actively assisted by Limon and supported by Ainsha and the White Dragon clan, could not have been robbed of his share so easily.

That’s why Maia was able to turn everyone into enemies.

While Charlotte and Li Qingyu are at odds, she will be able to operate without any warning.

“Now focus on what I told you to do.”

As she recalled the work she was doing away from the attention of other clans, Maia kept a cold sneer as always.

“No matter how hard they try to gather stakes, once that is completed, Sword Gong will be mine.”
