The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 686

Episode 686: Should I Give You a Chance? (1)

They were all speechless. They had never seen such incredible magic in their lives.

But even if you had met a greater wizard than Giselle, you would never have seen this magic. This magic was a type of magic that had never been seen before in the world.

As Jiselle moved the pole slightly again, the fireballs moved and spread slowly.

And they took their places, one by one, on the heads of the Iron Lions.

“this…….”

The Iron Lions panicked. It was only natural, with a fireball blazing above their heads.

It seemed as if the fireball would fall right away if they moved even a little. They were helpless and began to watch.

Jiselle said with a grin.

“What do you think? I think we can do it even if our numbers are smaller.”

Tyran gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. He had clearly heard that he had never used magic before. So he was sure that he was not a wizard.

But I never thought he would show me such incredible magic.

“Was he really a wizard?”

“That’s right. Why don’t you all believe it until you see it?”

Jiselle clicked her tongue. It was truly a world lacking in faith.

Tyran’s mind became complicated. There was no way someone as tall as Zark could have mistaken whether what the opponent had used was magic or not.

He asserted that the vice-captain of the Yulien mercenary group was not a magician. He meant that the author was so skilled that he could defeat 100 mercenaries without using magic.

‘That was a mistake. I should have hit it right away.’

When fighting a wizard, you should not keep your distance or give them time. This is especially true when dealing with high-circle wizards.

Even if you only have 5 circles, or even 4 circles, if you cast magic properly, the damage is enormous. A 4 circle magician can be active in war.

I ended up just watching stupidly while dealing with that kind of person.

‘Is it possible?’

They still have the confidence that they will win, but in this situation, the damage will be much greater than expected.

‘Even if the three people’s skills were as Zark said, it wouldn’t have been easy… … .’

Added to that is magic. It may cause damage close to total annihilation.

The Yulien mercenaries who were scared and retreating were not even considered. Even considering only the skills of the three people that Zark had heard about, such damage was expected.

‘Even if you win like that, it’s not a win.’

If we suffer such damage before the Battle of the Territory, it is obvious that we will be abandoned by the Earl of Crest.

‘I must kill that wizard at once.’

Tyran drew on his mana and measured the distance between him and Giselle. He was more nervous than ever.

‘There can be no mistakes.’

If you don’t kill it in one go, those horrible spells will fall right off.

Of course, there would be some allies who would endure or dodge, but at least half of them would take damage. That shouldn’t happen.

Knock knock… … .

Tyran’s feet began to dig into the ground little by little. He was gathering strength to leap forward in one breath and cut down Giselle.

Just then, an unexpected person broke the heavy silence and shouted loudly.

“Hey! Did you see that! My brother is a wizard of this caliber! I’m a man, Osval! I’m going to finish off the Iron Lions today!”

Osvald blocked Giselle’s path while making a fuss. He was trying to protect the wizard in his own way.

Of course, it’s not because Osvald is very courageous.

‘Hehehe. If I show you this much, the other side won’t be able to move carelessly, right? Man, this is really amazing. Wow, I didn’t know there was a magician of this level. We won, we won.’

Looking at Osval’s back like that, Giselle clicked her tongue.

‘You don’t have to know anything to be fearless.’

Tyran is concentrating with all his might right now. If he were to unleash that power, Osvald’s body would be split in half in an instant.

But Oswald didn’t have the eyes to see that. If he had, he would have just quietly stayed in the corner.

But this had an unexpected effect.

“This guy… … .”

Tyran pursed his lips. It wouldn’t be easy to kill a wizard when someone as big as Osval was blocking his way.

According to what Zark said about his skills, even if Osval is killed in one breath, the wizard will use the gap to escape.

While I was worrying and not knowing what to do, an even more surprising situation occurred.

“Wow! Our vice-captain is the best!”

“Hey you little shi*s! Why are you barging into someone else’s neighborhood and causing trouble!”

“Never ignore the Yulien Mercenaries again!”

Even the other mercenaries were all excited, holding their weapons and chatting noisily.

They were completely excited now. They couldn’t help but be excited, seeing the immense magic unfold before their eyes.

Hundreds of fireballs were aiming at the opponent. It felt like hundreds of reinforcements had appeared.

So I thought it was worth a try.

Mercenaries are often simple-minded people. People with complicated minds cannot do this job for long.

So, it was a reaction that could have come out at any time, but it was embarrassing for the Ironclad Lions.

“These guys, how dare they… … .”

“I believe in a wizard now… … .”

“These cheeky kids… … .”

They were at a loss as to what to do while gnashing their teeth.

They had no such experience. They always overwhelmed their opponents and were a fearsome presence to the mercenaries in the area.

I never thought that I would be pushed back by a new mercenary group like this.

Tyran was also unable to make a decision, just sweating profusely.

‘What should I do… … .’

I don’t know how powerful it is, but I can’t deny that it’s a great magic. If I had known that the opponent could use this kind of magic, I would have approached it in a completely different way.

Lack of information was an unacceptable sin for mercenaries, because they could survive long only by understanding the dangers of the commission through information.

The Ironclad Lions had already made a grave mistake by underestimating their opponents. This was also Tyran’s mistake.

‘Should I fight like this? Or should I retreat?’

If they fought, the Ironclad Lions would end today. Since they had already allowed the wizards to use powerful magic, it was obvious that even if they won, they would have to go through the disbandment process.

Even if he retreated, he would still be hit. It would be a violation of the principles Tyrone had maintained until now.

The members will lose their morale and, above all, their reputation will be damaged.

Although it would have been more realistic to retreat rather than risk the destruction of the entire mercenary group, Tyran’s pride would not allow that.

And everyone present could feel his distress.

Osvald was the first to shout loudly.

“Hey, what are you doing! Come at me! Are you scared of this guy, Osval!”

“Yeah! What are you doing, coming here all of a sudden! You immoral bastards!”

“They said it was the strongest in the area, but it’s nothing special!”

The mercenaries, who had grasped the general situation, had now decided with certainty which side they would take.

They were busy mocking and provoking their opponents as was their natural nature. It was also a long-standing tradition in the mercenary world before every fight.

Ugh.

Tyran clenched his teeth hard. He knew it was a common provocation, but he found it hard to resist.

Those guys who I couldn’t even make eye contact with before are now full of energy and fighting each other.

It was so painful that I wanted to go and kill them all right away, but I couldn’t.

Then, Jiselle peeked her head out from behind Osval and said.

“You seem to have a lot on your mind. Why? Are you in a lot of trouble? If you fight, you feel like you’ll lose everything, and if you back down, your pride will be hurt, right?”

“this guy…….”

It was a truly hateful remark. How can someone know people so well and tease them like that?

Judging from his actions, he didn’t look like a new mercenary, but someone who had been working in this business for decades.

Jiselle chuckled and suddenly turned her head.

“What should we do, Captain?”

Then, Julian came over with a red face and pretended to whisper in Giselle’s ear.

Jiselle nodded several times.

“Oh, really? Is that so? Should I give it a chance?”

Jiselle, who had been mumbling something that no one could understand, soon looked at Tyran and spoke.

“You are lucky.”

“what?”

“Our leader said he would give you one more chance.”

“… … .”

Tyran glared. Who dared say anything about giving me a chance?

But I waited patiently, thinking I would hear what he had to say.

Jiselle continued with a solemn expression.

“I don’t mind if all of our members die in the fight, but our leader thinks differently. He says he doesn’t want any casualties to our members. He says they are precious members that we will have to work with for a long time.”

At those words, the members of the Yulien mercenary corps looked at Yulien with slightly moved expressions.

Julian continued to pretend not to notice, looking at the distant mountains.

Tyrone growled in response.

“So what? What are you going to do? Are you going to fight or not?”

If they asked for reconciliation, I thought I would pretend not to win and accept it. That was the way to minimize the damage and the embarrassment.

But the method that Giselle suggested was something Tyran had never thought of.

“If you just let it slide when you’re in trouble, you’re not a mercenary. Our leader says he wants to fight you one-on-one.”

Tyran looked dumbfounded at those words. The other mercenaries did the same.

Tyran is known as the strongest mercenary in this area. Why would you fight him one-on-one?

It was a stupid choice, no matter who looked at it. Oswald was also surprised and said.

“No, Captain! Why are you doing that? Even if we fight like this, we’ll probably win. Why are you fighting me? Why are you standing up and fighting me?”

Still, Julian remained silent.

In fact, this was not what Julian had intended. It was a place prepared by Giselle, who had already predicted that this would happen.

Giselle tried to persuade Julian to come forward and speak for himself, but when Julian refused, saying he absolutely could not, she pretended to convey the message in this way.

But whatever the hidden circumstances, it was a welcome offer for Tyran. Tyran smiled and asked back.

“Are you serious? Are you going to have a one-on-one fight with me?”

“Yes. The idea is to reduce the damage to the members and let the leaders compete against each other. The loser is… .”

“Who loses?”

“I’m going to disband the mercenary group and go under the enemy mercenary group. You’ll have to listen to me from now on. What do you think? If you’re scared, it’s okay to refuse.”

“Kekekeke… … .”

Tyran held his forehead and laughed. They seemed to have some skill, but they were still rookies. How could they act so arrogantly just because they had a little bit of an advantage?

It was the best situation for him. There was no way he could lose in a one-on-one match.

Here comes another opportunity to take home both fame and fortune.

“Okay, I’ll accept it. But I’ll have to add an additional condition.”

“What is it?”

“If I win, kneel down, apologize, and join. Do you understand?”

“I have bad knees, but… … I’ll accept that much. But you should do the same.”

“You cheeky brat… … . Yeah, let’s see if you can act like that after the showdown.”

Kuung!

Tyran stepped forward with a powerful momentum.

I heard that this guy named Yulien was of the level of a high-level knight. And his skills were said to be so excellent that even Zark couldn’t recognize them.

It was clearly a tough opponent, but Tyran wasn’t worried. He was now at the top level.

In words, it’s only a difference of one level, but in reality, the gap is quite large. First of all, there is no comparison in the amount of mana.

The more mana you have, the stronger your power and the faster your speed. No matter how good your opponent’s skills are, it’s not easy to overcome the difference.

It wasn’t that his swordsmanship was lacking. It was unconventional and powerful because it was swordsmanship honed through actual combat.

He is superior in every way, from age and experience to skills and knowledge. It would be strange if he lost.

As Tyran stepped forward confidently, Giselle spoke again.

“Wait, wait.”

“What now!”

Tyran glared at Giselle angrily. The bastard had a strange knack for cutting off momentum.

Jiselle said with a big smile.

“It’s no fun if we just do it, so how about trying a new way to compete?”

“A new way?”

“Yes. In my hometown(?), there was a method of confrontation called ‘Moriana’s Recognition’ used among mercenaries. So how do you do it… …”

Jiselle began to explain the mercenaries’ fighting style, ‘Moriana’s Recognition’.

The expressions on Tyran and the mercenaries’ faces changed from moment to moment as they listened to the explanation.

‘You’re going to fight with only one dagger, arms tied together, without using mana? And in a circle? Then you can die if you get hit a few times wrong?’

‘Crazy… … Isn’t that more dangerous?’

‘Even if you win, if you don’t get treatment in time, you’ll die from excessive bleeding. After your body becomes a rag, using mana won’t help.’

‘It’s a dogfight between completely normal people. It might be fun to watch… … .’

‘Where on earth are you from that you fight in such an ignorant manner? Where did you come from?’

The mercenaries of this era do not know the ‘approval of Moriana’. This is because there is no such concept at all.

Jiselle had also been training for two years and had studied quite a bit about this era. That was why she was well aware that she had not yet received ‘Moriana’s approval.’

But he didn’t think much of it.

‘It’s going to happen in the future anyway. I don’t know when it’ll happen, but it doesn’t matter if I do it first. It’s going to happen anyway.’

So, Giselle ended up spreading new knowledge(?) and customs(?).

And after hearing the explanation, Tyran, the party involved in the confrontation…

I was so shocked by the ridiculous way I had to fight that I started to sweat profusely.
