Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"I choose to live and obey..." The Barbarian Hero's choice is to live.

Although he became a subordinate of the 8-star barbarian warrior, Cardan had no intention of making him a subordinate.

"The undead are more convenient." Until now, Cardin's way of managing his subordinates was to not consider the form of danger.

Because there is no need to consider the dangers of commanding an undead army that is not afraid of death.

"So, what should I do now?" Barbarian Hero Nikolai asked Cardan cautiously.

"I don't intend for you to follow me. Live freely like you are now. Just." Cardan paused for a moment and looked around at the barbarians watching the battle.

“Stop the war.”

"what?"

"As long as you live, don't let anyone covet the land of the Kingdom of Libera."

"That, that..."

"Aren't you known as the hero of your tribe? Don't you have that power?"

"Whether the war will take place depends on the clan leader..."

"No, what is your reason for coveting the kingdom's land?" It has always been a question.

If it were monsters, it would make sense that they would seek out magical lands or prey on humans.

"Is it just the land? Because there's no place to live? Or is it a food problem?"

"That was our land. We just want to get our land back."

"As far as I know, the kingdom's army has never been defeated by you since the wall was built. Right?" Nicholas could not answer.

It is a reality that cannot be denied, but it is also a reality that we don’t want to admit.

“Even after so many battles, the Kingdom Army’s losses were almost zero. But what about you?” Many barbarians died.

Despite countless battles, the result is always failure. All is lost.

Instantly, Nicholas thought.

"Why does the chieftain not consider the death of his compatriots and still covet that piece of land?" I have been brainwashed since I was a child. I must take back the kingdom's land.

This is the mission of our tribe. All his tribe members learned that way, and it was taken for granted that the barbarians coveted the kingdom's land.

No one doubted that the war would not stop no matter how many people died.

The anger caused by the death of their comrades was naturally directed at the Kingdom Army, and it was unknown when the war would continue through anger.

This cycle repeats itself. The death of tribes and unwinnable wars.

"We are just following the orders of the patriarch." Although he had doubts, this was the only answer Nicholas could give.

There is no other answer. The choice of the patriarch who led the tribe for his whole life cannot be denied.

Cardin looked at Nicholas in deep thought for a moment, then sighed deeply.

"Tsk. I don't want to go back in this creepy state." Soon, Cardin seemed to have made up his mind and said coldly with an expressionless face.

"You are a hostage from now on."

"what?"

"Take me there. To meet your great patriarch."

The black group walked towards the barbarian village. The Death Knights led by Dullahan stood in the front, followed by the Skeleton Army.

And Cardin, who was walking among them, burst into laughter.

"I feel like I've become a villain." I don't know why I felt this way as I headed to the center of the barbarian village with the barbarian hero as a hostage.

Is it because they took the Barbarian Heroes as hostages? The Barbarians gnashed their teeth but could not attack.

"Release Lord Nicholas!" Although there were occasionally barbarians who tried to rescue Nicholas, ...

"Stop! You're not someone who can do anything!" Every time this happened, Nicholas would stop them with a loud voice.

Nikolai is not the only barbarian hero, so Cardan is also in a state of tension, but fortunately, nothing major happens.

Of course, it's not that they were unprepared. Dullahan and the Death Knights he led, and the Corpse Mountain Golem "Franken".

He thought that only these people might be in danger, so he summoned Luna. The Skeleton Army followed behind, so there was nothing to be afraid of now.

"The chief's house is over there," Nicholas stopped and pointed at the huge wooden house. It was bigger than the other barbarians' houses, and there were guards standing guard in front of the door.

Not only that. In front of the clan leader's house, countless barbarians stood with weapons in hand. Seeing the undead army led by Kadan advancing, the barbarians seemed ready for battle.

"Stop!" the man who looked like their captain shouted at Cardin with a huge spear.

"That guy looks pretty strong too." A big man with his hair tied up in a ponytail.

In appearance, he was a more powerful barbarian than Nicholas.

"Nikola! You couldn't even end your life before being caught! Bringing the guys from the kingdom here?" The man with ponytail hair shouted at Nikola angrily.

"I'm sorry, Chief Dawson." Nicholas bowed his head to apologize, and continued after adjusting his breathing.

"We fought a sacred duel, and I lost."

"Even so, you can't bring that dirty Kingdom guy here? I will kill you!" The angry man threw the huge spear in his hand with force.

Wow! The huge gun fiercely tore through the air and attacked Nicholas.

Whether he really wants to kill Nicholas, the huge gun is also full of ferocious magic.

Crack! But the blow was blocked before it reached Nikolai.

"How dare you throw a spear towards where your master is? Do you want to die?" It was Dullahan who blocked the spear.

"How dare a mere dead thing block my attack?" The man with ponytail hair looked at Dullahan with a panicked expression.

The dead, who were classified as monsters, could block the attack so easily.

"That attack is nothing to even mention," Cardin replied, mocking the panicked man.

Dullahan was once the leader of the Knights of Colinforth. Although he is not as powerful as he was in his lifetime, his strength is still impressive even after becoming Dullahan.

"Of course, we might be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight. But that's not the case right now." Cardin chuckled and said to the man who looked like the leader.

"I'm not here to fight."

"Do you doubt my eyes? You come with an army and say you are not here to fight. Who would believe you?"

"I brought this army with me as a choice for survival."

"Shut up! If you don't get out of here, I'll tear the four of you into pieces and throw you to the wild beasts as food."

"That's good, but before that, call your chief. There's no point in talking to you." Facing the threat from the barbarian chief, Cardan still shrugged calmly and answered.

"Kill that dirty kingdom guy!" The barbarian leader seemed to have no intention of listening to Cardan's request and shouted to the barbarian warriors.

Wow! As soon as the words fell, the barbarian warriors picked up their weapons and rushed towards the Undead Legion.

Clang! At this moment, Luna rushed in between the barbarian warriors and the Undead Legion and knocked down the barbarian warrior in the front with one punch.

The barbarian warrior hit by Luna's fist flew out.

Boom! It even crashed into the wooden house, then stopped flying and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

Seeing that scene, the barbarian warriors stopped charging in panic.

"You haven't finished listening to Cardin yet." Luna clapped her hands and said to the barbarians.

"Hey, why does the little guy have that kind of power?"

"I was knocked away in an instant."

"My jaw dropped." For the little guy, that was incredible strength.

"What are you doing! Charge!" The captain of the barbarian warriors, "Dawson", shouted angrily as the barbarian warriors wandered around in panic.

at this time.

"Stop." As the door of the barbarian chief's house opened, a white-haired old man appeared. It seemed that he was the chief.

The barbarian chief spoke to Dawson seriously, and Dawson and the barbarian warriors bowed their heads and saluted him at the same time.

"Chief! Please let us handle this. Please take shelter safely." After Dawson saluted briefly, he waved his hand to signal him to take shelter quickly. The chief nodded and smiled kindly.

"It doesn't matter. Without the help of other tribes, it seems that we can't defeat our opponents." The chief quickly glanced at Cardan and the undead army he brought with him.

No matter how you look at it, the odds of winning are low. The barbarian warriors are not weak, but one of the heroes, Nikolai, has been captured, and the enemy is the undead who can be resurrected infinitely.

It is obvious that the longer the battle, the greater the losses.

"Want to talk?" The patriarch slowly walked to the front of the barbarian warriors and stopped.

"You are the patriarch, right?"

"How rude!" Dawson replied angrily as Cardin answered.

"Be polite before you talk like that?" Cardin easily ignored his words and looked at the clan leader again, who spoke with a blank expression.

"Yes. What do you want to talk about? Go ahead."

"I want to know why you covet the kingdom. That's what I'm here for."

"Will anything change if I tell you the reason?"

"At least we want to know the reason why we are being attacked." The Kingdom was just trying to stop the enemy from taking up arms and invading.

I don't have much ill will towards the barbarians, I just want to protect the kingdom.

As the head of the Erok City Wall, Dimitar also had no idea of ​​the legitimate reasons for the barbarian invasion.

"What? Don't say that the land was originally yours. As far as I know, there is no history that says it is your land."

"Do you think so?"

"If it was the land of the barbarians thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, why couldn't you give it up even if your men died like this?" Faced with this question, the patriarch temporarily shut up, and then slowly opened his mouth to answer.

"The war is not my will alone. We accepted the oracle and continued the war through that oracle."

"oracle?"

"Periodically, the God of the Earth comes to me and tells me that the barbarians living on this land have no future. For the sake of their descendants, they must occupy that land." Hearing this, Cardan sneered.

"God?" Cardin tilted his head. In the history he had learned in elementary school, there had never been a single instance where a god came down to the human world to deliver an oracle.

If the priest received the oracle and then conveyed it, it is still unclear. Did God come to the world personally to speak?

"Since he is your god, why did he turn a blind eye to your death?"

“That is God’s choice for future generations.”

"Nonsense. If that god really cared about you, the walls of Erok would have fallen from the beginning," Cardan thought. There must be something.

There was something eerie about it, and it was impossible to ignore that feeling.

"It seems that talking to you is not going to work." Cardan said, walking towards the clan leader.

"Do you know what blasphemy means? He doesn't meet with just anyone..."

"God won't die, right? So bring him here to have a look. What are you worried about?" Cardan said firmly, and the patriarch nodded with a wry smile.

Cardin didn't care and continued speaking in a strong tone.

"I don't like threats... If you don't take me to see God, then not only God, but even my descendants may not be able to see him."
