Overgeared

rivial existence. However, it was difficult to gauge his status when actually facing him.
The sword energy that Baron Cudan was proud of shrunk back in front of the soldier.

‘Eh…
How can a lowly soldier seem so profound?’

Goosebumps appeared on Baron Cudan’s body.
If one soldier was so strong, what about the 1,000 knights scattered around the venue?

Gulp!

Baron Cudan stood like a stone statue and gulped.

“How dare you say such ridiculous things?”

“We’re soldiers of the great Murray Kingdom!”

Baron Cudan’s knights were angry and drew their swords.
The moment they were about to strike at the blond soldier.
Baron Cudan hastily stopped them.

“S-Stop!”

If they attacked in this place, it would mean all their deaths.
It was also from a soldier! Baron Cudan suddenly held his stomach and fell.

“U-Ugh? No? Why does my stomach suddenly hurt? Oh my? I’m too sick too move?” 

“M-My Lord?”

Baron Cudan’s knights were embarrassed.
Baron Cudan’s innate health was so great that they couldn’t help feeling like this once Baron Cudan complained of stomach pain.
Baron Cudan urged them not to worry about the rude soldier anymore.

“We need to go back to the kingdom.
Let’s go back.
Oh my, it burns.
It must be the beef jerky I ate on the way here.”

“B-But the king’s request…”

“It burns! Go back!”

“Heok! Yes, yes!!”

Baron Cudan’s knights hastily took him away.
The moment that the Murray Kingdom’s delegation left Reinhardt.

“Look over here! Baron Cudan!”

“Hah…
What is this…?”

The representatives were stunned.
Baron Cudan left before fulfilling his duties as a representative.

'It’s different from the usual discipline of the Murray Kingdom.’

The representatives thought it was ridiculous as they watched Baron Cudan leaving this place.
All of them didn’t recognize the Murray Kingdom anymore.

On the other hand, Baron Cudan made a resolute expression as he left Reinhardt.

‘I must speak to the king about making peace with the Overgeared Kingdom.’

How could the person called Grid be more vicious than the emperor of the empire? He might be a rebel, but his power seemed to transcend imagination.
He was the trend.

“What? The Gauss Kingdom’s representative has also left?”

Two of the 15 representatives were gone.
The remaining 13 representatives thought it was ridiculous.

“What representative would return before completing his mission?”

“Baron Kons and Baron Cudan are both incompetent.” 

“It’s proof that their kings aren’t dignified.”

Baron Vedika was the representative of the Ultana Kingdom. His nickname was ‘vampire baron’ because he hunted the intermediate vampires that appeared in his territory and acquired the vampire rings as loot. He had a reputation for his great sustainability in combat, since he restored his health by taking his enemy’s.
It was rumored that he was almost immortal when he fought.
He was a brave man and disappeared the runaway Baron Kons and Baron Cudan as cowards.

‘They ran out of fear after seeing the 1,000 knights.’ 

They thought they would be struck by the knights the moment they demanded that Overgeared pay tribute to their kingdoms.

‘Truly pathetic.
Anyone who represents their kingdom should put their honor of the kingdom above their fear.
Tsk tsk tsk…’

To be honest, Baron Vedika was also tense. He could gain honor as soon as he accomplished the mission, but he could be executed by the 1,000 knights that surrounded them.
However, he had the power to overcome this fear.

‘I have the vampire ring.’

It was a ring obtained by hunting the intermediate vampires in his territory along with all his knights.
Baron Vedika believed that with the vampire ring, he could survive in a 1 vs 1,000 fight.

“Huhuhut…
Huh?”

Baron Vedika was looking at the ring on his finger when he suddenly became aghast.

“Will there be group activities after the founding ceremony? What is it?”

“A group will be organized to hunt in the vampire cities.”

“Ah, what? The vampires are too weak to be fun anymore, and they don’t give much experience.”

“But isn’t it a good day today? We’ll be able to raise the level of the guild members in the second group.”

“Well…
Yes, if I have to go, then I should do my best.”

“It would be fun to try a city we haven’t cleared yet.”

“…”

Organizing a group to hunt in the vampire cities? The vampires are too weak?

‘What are they saying?’

Baron Vedika laughed as he heard the words of the group passing by.
He believed they were just bluffing.
This lasted until he spotted a ring on one of their fingers.

“Pant…
Pant?”

Baron Vedika doubted his eyes. The dozens of people, including a bald man, were wearing vampire rings on their fingers.
The rings also contained better magic power than the ring that Baron Vedika wore.
Baron Vedika made a disbelieving expression, before gathering his courage and approaching the bald man.

“If I’m not being impolite…
Can I ask what you’re doing here?

Gulp.

Baron Vedika swallowed his saliva as he asked the question.
Then the bald man replied.

“We are King Grid’s subordinates.
Why are you asking?”

“…U-Urgh? Why am I suddenly feeling anemic? Isn’t it weird?”

In the end.  The representative of the Ultana Kingdom also ran away from Reinhardt.

“…???”

The remaining 12 representatives failed to recognize the situation and finally settled in to observe the founding ceremony.
