Solo Swordmaster

#797. One thing is clear.

Rose.

Li Qingyu.

Ainsha is.

Hasneti.

Yekatrice.

As if waiting for an answer to a question.

Feeling the blue, black, white, red, and silver eyes looking at each other.

Charlotte opened her mouth languidly.

“It’s a funny illusion.”

“A misunderstanding? What?”

“It means I’m not interested in trivial things like rank and all.”

the moment I heard that.

Yekathrice blinked.

And the other princesses also looked at Charlotte with suspicious eyes.

If someone else had said this, they would have thought it was a bluff, but Charlotte

was a princess who was so arrogant that she couldn’t even lie.

If she said she wasn’t interested, that meant she was really serious.

“…You mean it doesn’t matter who is your brother’s firstborn?”

“That means it’s none of our business.”

Do you have a dog fight here?

It would be meaningless to

draw lots or to set ranks among themselves at will.

After all, it is Limon who has the right to decide, not themselves.

Whoever is the best and most beautiful

If he is loved by Limon, even Ainshara, the weakest member of the Seven Dragons, will be able to outsmart everyone, and even himself will be shunned.

What does the sequence have to do with it?

Those words were not like arrogant Charlotte.

Yekathrice made a strange expression.

“In short, the only competition we can have is to try to be loved by you more?”

“If you want to do it, do as you please.”

Charlotte stretched out a hand leisurely to the side.

After accepting the glass Elise had brought, she took a sip of the sweet yet bitter wine.

spoke calmly.

“It’s decided who his first will be anyway.”

right after that.

The eyes of the princesses deepened.

Because then everyone understood.

That Charlotte wasn’t interested in ranking because she was sure she would be first anyway.

absurdly arrogant.

That’s why it was like Charlotte.

“Well, shouldn’t we try the long and short ones?”

Of course, there was no princess to yield to.

Maybe it’s because he learned that today’s banquet is not a place for bloody competition.

When Yekathrice giggles in the air where the chilliness has eased, but there is still a strange tension.

A blunt voice cut through the air.

“It’s a question. Charlotte, if you’re not interested in rankings, I’d like to know why the Seven Dragons Branch was opened.”

“Because I have something to say, of course.”

“I’m not an idiot. I know that much. So I ask what you have to say.”

“It’s not a big business.”

Looking at Ainsha’s expressionless face.

Charlotte said languidly.

It was impossible to talk about through communication, and to prevent the leakage of information, it was necessary to call everyone to this place where the ancient spirits’ facilities were located.

“It’s just a story that it seems like it’s time to end a trivial fight.”

That moment.

The atmosphere of the other princesses became heavier in a different way than before.

And the one who spoke on behalf of them was Hasneti, who put down the cup of honey wine she had finished drinking.

“Are you going to attack the World Federation?”

“Because you will not be able to end a fight that can only be ended by blocking it forever.”

“That’s true…”

Rose murmured.

So far, most of the fights with the World Federation have been done in a way that the Seven Dragons counteract their schemes.

For the Seven Dragons to launch a preemptive strike, it was not feasible both physically and situationally.

But that’s all a story of the past.

Defeat the peacekeepers.

Destroy the potion business.

The downfall of LW products, etc.

The balance, which had been tilted toward the World Federation through repeated fights, gradually approached equilibrium.

And of course, following Manma and Soulless, Midas, which was in charge of the core of the fund, collapsed.

I’ve already defeated or fatally wounded several sword masters, preventing them from going to the frontlines.

Now, the Seven Dragons couldn’t be said to be at a disadvantage.

“Li Qingyu, if we had an all-out war with the World Federation, what would the odds of victory be?”

“…”

Charlotte.

And even other princesses.

Li Qingyu, who had been silent while everyone was watching, opened his mouth with a sigh.

“If everything goes well, maybe 70%.”

“Hmm, is it lower than expected?”

“Because there are still sword masters in the World Federation.”

Like all absolutes, the Sword Master is a being who can truly cover the world alone.

Even one person can be a threat.

In fact, in the past, Limon alone kept the entire Seven Dragons in check for hundreds of years.

Not to mention, the World Federation, where many such sword masters were crouching, was still a place enough to be called Dragon Dragon Blood.

However, Charlotte did not agree with Li Qingyu’s point.

I just arrogantly objected.

“With him and me, we can handle a few sword masters.”

“Yes, it could be.”

Li Qingyu surprisingly readily agreed.

Charlotte, who created the Yang-uisin Gong-ryu, defeated Billy without even the aid of the Seven Dragons.

It was a historical feat enough considering that it was advantageous to Sangseong as much as it handled telekinesis and that there was help from Yuna-kyung, who descended the incarnation.

On top of that, Limon fought to the death for more than a few days against two sword masters.

What if Li Qingyu, who completed the dragon’s blood, and other princesses join forces?

Even against three or four sword masters, he was able to win enough.

If you plan carefully and strike preemptively, you will be able to increase the win rate even more.

But…

“If the two of you are perfect.”

“…”

“Charlotte, I have something to check.”

That’s why.

Li Qingyu looked at Charlotte with deep, dark eyes, as if they could see through her heart.

“Isn’t Sword Gong’s body completely healed yet?”

Rose hardens her face.

Hasneti wiggled her eyebrows.

As Yekathrice narrows her eyes.

Charlotte opened her mouth.

“You know that.”

“If the swordsman had been cured, you would have completed the dragon’s blood.”

Li Qingyu, who has completed the true blood of the Wei Black Dragon God, can handle phenomenal psionics.

No, at the point of the Black Dragon.

Charlotte was silent.

The time Limon and her spent together to cure each other’s troubles.

Who was the one who fell first on the way after a fierce fight that even the absolute with superhuman stamina was exhausted?

Because I couldn’t speak for myself.

For over a year, Li Qingyu has been intermittently mixing with Limon and stocking up on dragon psionics.

It was impossible to collect that enormous amount of psionics in a matter of days with a body that was devastated by the coin intoxication.

“It’s not going to be a problem right now.”

“But the swordsman and Charlotte will need time to be cured.”

“…”

“In that sense, it’s too soon to attack the World Federation.”

When even a machine replaces a broken part, problems pile up here and there.

No matter how dragon descendant.

Whether it’s a superhuman sword master.

It will take enough time for the two of them to recover after having been in an unreasonable battle several times until now.

Until then, fights should be avoided.

Li Qingyu pointed out calmly and added a word.

“And even if the two of you are at your best, an all-out war is too risky.”

“There is no war without risk.”

“Yes, but a war in which the harm outweighs the gain should be avoided whenever possible.”

The reason why the Seven Dragons and the World Federation have been avoiding an all-out war so far is because the aftereffects are too severe.

I don’t know if I win unilaterally.

In the event of a half-way victory, the defeated remnants could hide underground and become a nuisance for decades.

For those who compete for world supremacy, it was a situation they wanted to avoid if possible.

“…Do you think the sacrifice is that great?”

“yes. In the World Federation, there are not only sword masters, but also monarchs.”

Even if they are inferior to sword masters, the monarchs

are also the absolutes of this era.

Even if he

did, he gained the power to threaten the Seven Dragons at once with the absurd act of reviving the sword masters

.

“…”

If we wage an all-out war.

Even if we win, some of them will die.

Looking at Li Qingyu, who asserts as the greatest strategist of the Seven Dragons, the other princesses remain silent

. The point that they were careless in itself made each of them think.

That’s

why Rose spoke softly. “Li Qingyu, why are you

so wary of monarchs?”

Me?”

“I don’t think it’s overrated, but

I think it’s oversensitive.” “…I’m oversensitive.”

“Yes.”

Rose, who had met Li Qingyu separately

before the Seven Dragons competition began, knew.

She had proposed to him without even knowing about the eighth dragon psionic.

Of course, it could be because of love.

But does it make sense to fall in love with someone you’ve never met before and even give up your share of Leviathan to propose?

Wasn’t it because of Limon’s need?

To keep the lords in check? “Is it because I

feel like you’re more wary of lords than a sword master?”

Seeing Rose pointed out,

Li Qingyu calmly said,

“As a schemer, it’s natural to be more wary of unknown risks than clear threats.”

“Is that really

all ?”

For a moment, she looked at Li Qingyu, who had a gentle smile on her face as always.

She finally nodded,

”

That’s it.”

Rose and the other princesses also nodded.

I didn’t bother to question Li Qingyu.

Even though she couldn’t agree, it was impossible to force her to open her mouth.

So Charlotte returned the story.

“Did you mean that you would give up preemptive strikes on the World Federation after all?”

“No, that means more preparation is needed.”

“You mean you’re going to do it?”

“As Charlotte said, it is true that the time has come for a final decision with the World Federation.”

Limon and Charlotte recover their bodies.

Resolving the aftermath of the collapse of Midas.

Organizing the clan’s military power, grasping the world federation’s dynamics, and making detailed plans accordingly.

It may take a few months at least.

However, on the other hand, Li Qingyu quietly continued, reflecting on the preparations that could be completed in just a few months.

“The question is whether the World Federation will remain silent until we make a move.”

“The World Federation has already collapsed. There is nothing more we can do.”

“If you think about it with common sense, it would be, but… their dynamics are unusual.”

“Dynamic?”

“It’s not like there’s a clear movement. It’s just the atmosphere of the commander.”

“…how else did you find out about that?”

“Well, how?”

Although there is nothing caught in his information network.

No matter how Black Dragon, how did Li Qingyu get information about the monarch’s mood?

Li Qingyu smiled at the bewildered Catherine.

In fact, her intelligence has been one of the decisive reasons why they have been able to gain the upper hand against the World Federation.

So I could say for sure.

“Anyway, one thing is certain.”

Whether they launch a preemptive strike.

Before that, the world federation will play nonsense again.

Li Qingyu said calmly about the inevitable outcome.

“Depending on the outcome of the next battle, either the World Federation or our Seven Dragons will disappear.”
