[V49C08] Heroes asseh intervieith the TV stations, Weed officially accepted the proposal froly accede to your challenge to fight in the Garnav Plain, provided that the ti, 15 days from now
Lafaye and the Hermes Guild were extremely confused when they received Weed’s response
‘So he’s going to have a head-on fight with all of his ainst all of ours? Is he serious?”
“Is this really what Weed said?”
“It is There are already videos of his intervieith the CTS and KMC Media”
“Huh…”
The users in the inner circle of the Here Still, while they were all for crushi+ng Weed and the Northern users, they hadn’t expected that their enemies would accept their proposal so easily
Everyone’s gaze fell on Lafaye
“If we’re having a full frontal war, isn’t our side going to be at a huge advantage?”
“Absolutely This means we can concentrate all of our forces into one place, without having to protect the rest of the vast territories of the Eree to this battle so readily?”
“…”
Lafaye was a ure out other people’s intentions and set up his schely However, this time even he had no idea what to make of this sudden turn of event
The Her stations siuild was not overly interested as it was already very rich thanks to the investments from various sources In addition, Lafaye didn’t realize that Weed’s obsession with money went beyond the bounds of co a trick on everyone, thinking that he can afford to lose the fa the conjecture that seeh he didn’t feel enuinely concluded that he can defeat us, yet again, in this battle”
“What do youtoo ht not have a clear idea of the exact th of the Herht us so many times!”
“And we have lost a lot of times; let’s be fair”
“…”
“However, he won’t be able to overco battle with the human-wave tactics alone With our top elite troops, the Her as if it had both the spear that can pierce through anything and the shi+eld that can resist any attack”[1]
Lafaye was convinced that there was no way their side would lose if they faced the Arpen Kingdom in an all-out war The entire military force of the Hermes Guild was currently spread over the vast Central Continent, ruling the whole territory The Northern users’ war strategy consisted alnature hu the Eion alone, it was certainly true that they had accomplished a reh they had suffered big dae afterwards
Arkhym spoke, his voice far frouy like Bar Khan after ree they hoped they would never have to face again
“I do not think that is his intention If he uses trickery, he norether Once the battle begins, the Grass Porridge Cult and other users supporting the Arpen Kingdom will assemble in the field”
“So, because of those people Weed will be forced to make his appearance, and he won’t be able to summon so forth a being like Bar Khan will lead to the self-destruction of the Arpen Kingdom It would be difficult for him to use his skills that cause disasters, too”
“I just cannot understand why he would do this”
“The Garnav Plain is also not the sort of terrain suitable for his usual tricks and deceptions”
The solution Lafaye and the Her for was just around the corner, yet it just didn’t register to thes fro the fact that he was the one who founded the Arpen Kingdom Not only that, he proved to be meticulous and full of clever tricks in every battle’
‘Broadcasting rights? Money? Of course they don’tto hih the answer never dawned on hiht, Lafaye still concluded that the situation had become more favorable for the Haven Empire
“Were is preparation for the war”
Calcus the Slayer asked a question
“By the ould be the reason behind his suggestion to postpone the date of the battle? He said he will face us on the Saturday, 15 days later”
“That I do not know He erous trap”
Weed arrived in the Garnav Plain in advance using Yurin’s Picture Teleportation skill
“There’s only grass here, brother”
“Yes Not a place for much trickery and deception”
As this was the battlefield the Hermes Guild had chosen, he had done some preliminary research on the Internet The Garnav Plain was a vast land with a wide-open view, so it would be difficult to set any traps in here There were occasional gentle slopes here and there, but they were not enough to have any decisive influence on the battle
“This is a good place for hosting a fair, large-scale battle between two great armies”
The Hermes Guild wouldn’t have wanted to attract any unnecessary accusations frouild’s already widespread notoriety
“But I’ht this fair and square”
As Weed took in the view of the Garnav Plain, he becaht for a ain an ah to ensure a luxurious life for his whole fa, a land, a house, or even a real estate speculator… I could be anything I want’
He recalled how it felt when he had just lost his parents during his childhood: as if all happiness was slipping away through his fingers, and the world beca of deep despair that poured down buckets of icy water on his heart, lost and cast away
‘…And I’ve come this far’
