The last precedent was important.Those who watched Lucas duel knew from that point onward that there was nothing wrong with committing a foul. And obviously, people did everything they could to survive one minute in the duel.

Ahhhhh!

Thud.

72nd duelThe giant man screamed and swung his great sword. However, a big move could not work against Roman, and after his sword cut through the air, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it toward Romans faceIt was a surprise attack.

Roman turned his head to the side to avoid the stone, and then he kicked the man, who was about to attack again, in the face.

Smack!

Keuk.

His blood spattered. Then, his pupils loosened, and he fell to the ground right on his face.

Next.

A foul was not a condition for elimination. However, the moment someone crossed the line, Roman ended them. In that respect, Lucas was cleverIf Lucas had not given up in the duel, Romans sword might have broken his body.

Naturally, the test continued.

80th turn, 90th turn, and the 100th, as wellEven though people kept changing, no one could hold out until the one minute Roman mentioned. From a certain moment, even those who were smiling at the rules of the second test looked at Roman with a shocked face. The current situation didnt make even a little bit of sense. Roman had spent over an hour fighting a hundred duels. Even though it would be natural if he had ragged breathing, Roman was still showing stable breathing as if he was fighting for the first time. His physical stress was not visible at all.

Naturally, such a scene came as a horror to the applicants, and they couldnt even dare to think of winning now as they knew that the test would end soon.

They didnt know about RomanHe had created a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

At the edge of death, no one shows you mercy. If you cant manage your breathing, your movements will naturally become sluggish, and then you will be just another corpse lying on the floor.

Thats why Baek Joong-hyuk learned how to fight till the endBreathe in and exhaleThe natural mana obtained through breathing in a continuous process circulated inside the body and properly got rid of the fatigue of the body.

Romans body is still weak.

It was natural for 100 duels to be physically burdensome, but after taking proper care of the body, which had become stronger due to the body transformation, Roman proceeded with the duels as if he was fighting the first duel.

This is a fight that does not use mana.As Baek Joong-hyuk, who fought for three days and three nights straight during the conquest of Murim, his stamina could not be exhausted by such a light battle. Honestly, the applicants were utterly wrong. They thought that delaying their turn would give them an advantage, but Roman did not falter even a bitThus, the fear crushed their hearts.

Next.

The last applicantIt was the 120th duel. He went to the stage with a face that had already accepted defeat, and didnt even last ten seconds, let alone a minuteas everyone expected. With a single blow, the applicant was on his knees. Seeing his wooden sword break with just a single strike, he voluntarily declared he would surrender.

Now, the test was over. And when the 120th duels conclusion was reached, people looked up at Roman bewilderedly. What the hell are we looking at? They couldnt understand it even after seeing it themselves. Roman Dmitryhis change was beyond their comprehension.

All tests have been completed. Nevertheless, defeat did not mean elimination. Chris sent all the desperate applicants back and announced that he would declare the results two days later.

The next day, Roman handed over the list of successful applicants to Chris.

This is a list of successful applicants. From now on, you will take charge of these 30 people and conduct training.

I understand.

Tap.

He received a list. Then, as he turned the first page, he saw a familiar name. He said his name was Volcan, right?He was the first challenger in the second test. He was a man who dared to take on a challenge but fell out at once. Although the content of the match was insignificant to most, he was still a person who had enough qualifications to enter the list of the 30 successful applicants.

The master must have highly appreciated Volkans courage. Even though it was clear as crystal that the 120th person would have an advantage, Volkan challenged him and attempted the first duel without hesitation. And he got destroyed. However, considering his courage and physical condition, he is an exceptionally talented person for a private soldier.

Fwip.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Chris turned the page. Most of them were understandable. Even if they couldnt show much performance against Roman, those with a strong will and satisfying conditions passed.

And,

Henderson?

There were also unexpected people. Henderson was an ordinary person. He also managed to pass the first test, but he showed a passive attitude in the match with Roman and was eventually eliminated. So, Chris thought he would be eliminated. Unlike other successful applicants, he had a weak will and body, and there was no reason for him to be included in the list of successful applicants. Still, he accepted his masters decision. If it was the Roman that he experienced, he would have a reason for picking someone like him.

However, when he looked at the next page, he had no choice but to ask a questionLucas passed as well?

Thats right.

I admit that Lucas is a talented B-class mercenary and has enough qualifications. However, he is a cowardly and selfish person. Not only did he commit the foul of throwing a dagger and sprinkling sand during a test-purpose match, but when he thought he lost, he did not fight to the end and declared he would surrender. A person like that will be poison to us on the battlefield. Hes a coward who will abandon his comrades. Can other soldiers trust Lucas and fight?

Lucas was a typical mercenaryHe was the kind of person who gave up his honor and did anything to survive. Obviously, Chris didnt like that. He had the honor of a knight, and if he had been in the position of Lucas as an applicant, he would not have cried out surrender even if he died. As Chris was the one who would take charge of the soldiers in the future, he wanted to exclude people like Lucas.

Roman said, Thats why I passed him.

What do you mean?

As you said, Lucas may be a cowardly guy who abandoned his comrades. However, in a situation where no one even thought of committing a foul, he was a guy who actually thought about how to deal with me and put it into practice. On the battlefield, those kinds of humans are the ones who shine instead. Theyll always find a way to live and somehow open up a way for you. Is he a coward for doing what the others didnt? I never told anyone that foul play was not allowed. He has not done anything to make me lose my trust in him.

Chris was speechless. Obviously, Roman was rightLucas only thought realistically, and there was no basis for evaluating his personality yet.

Suddenly, Chris remembered what his teacher, Jonathan, had told him.

The survivors on the battlefield are not knights who can use auras like you and me. At the borderline of death, where blood and screams are common, those who can always face the situation and judge it realistically can survive as human beings till the end. So, always keep that in mind, Chris. No matter how strong a swordsman you become in the future, there are always chances of you falling victim to humans who play dirty like hyenas.

Chris nodded. As Roman said, it was still too early to judge Lucas.

However, he still had a questionIs there any reason why you have specifically recruited 30 private soldiers this time? 30 people is not a small number, and managing them takes a lot of money and effort. Dont the Dmitrys also have soldiers and knights?

Chris question was understandable. In the next 5 months, Roman would leave for the battlefield. However, that was the future, and there was no reason to prepare for that already. The central government was not a vicious group that recklessly drove the nobles to death just because they had conscripted them.

Conscripted troopsThey were used in emergencies. They usually spend time in the waiting area just before the front line and take on the role of support when dangerous things happen. So, if one is lucky, they often end their military service without fighting a single battle. Roman also didnt know where he would be deployed, so he had no reason to nurture soldiers.

Moreover, Dmitry was a fringeAs it was an area where battles were not common, it was burdensome to maintain 30 people by giving 8 silvers per person from 5 months before the conscription.

ChrisHe had served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Dmitry Knights. As he managed people and knew a little bit of accounting, he realized that handling 30 people wasnt that simple. It was a question he would have naturally asked someday.

Roman said, As I announced in front of everyone, I have no intention of staying cooped up on the outskirts and watching from the sidelines. One by oneI plan to climb up by stepping on the things I see in front of me one by one. So, who do you think my immediate enemy is as of now?

The first goalWhen Roman asked about it, Chris immediately thought of someone. No way. He didnt want to believe it. I knew Roman had become aggressive, but I didnt know he had such dangerous thoughts.

Thats right.

Romans deathThe cause of that death.

We will prepare for the war against Barco from now on.

Then, with the central governments approval, the Barco family officially issued a statement announcing the start of the war.

We believed in the promises of the past and waited for Lawrences decision. However, they threw the honor of the nobility to the ground and betrayed our trust, and we decided to draw the sword after being patient for a long time. Lawrences sin is clear. They did not repay the debt left by their ancestors and showed an attitude that they would not give up the land they had put as collateral. Therefore, through this statement, I will inform the people of the kingdom of Cairo. If Lawrence does not pay off their debts or give us the land that was pledged as collateral within the next week, the Barco family will declare a territorial war against Lawrence with the approval of the central government.

A territorial warIt was a fierce battle fighting for each others things. By obtaining the central governments approval, the Barco family acquired the justification to declare war on the territory legally. In the aristocratic world, a cause was importantWith a cause, the nobles in the North-Eastern part of the kingdom of Cairo would stand by the war between the two.

However, if Roman and Floras marriage had not been broken, the Barco family might have moved a little more carefully. For descendants of two families to marry, it meant blood ties. In the world of aristocracy, blood ties gave a strong cause, so even Lawrences problem would have been a strong cause to get involved.

However, the marriage was called off. And from now on, it was Lawrences turn to pay the price for a momentary mistake.

I hope you will choose wisely. If you keep your inheritance and dont take this letter seriously, Barcos flag will soon be planted in the heart of Lawrence. We dont want war. However, please do not forget that it is Barco who, if necessary, will become bloodthirsty.

It was a one-sided notice. Finally, war was approaching.
