“f*ck.”
‘It sucks.’
Lian spat out swear words.
It was too grim to be called a child’s expression.
Of all the many territories, it is Leon.
My nose is stuffed up and my ears are stuffed up.
The county of León belongs to the duchy of Brittany.
There, a serious civil war breaks out shortly thereafter.
The stakes are too complex.
And that wasn’t enough, so Count Leon wasn’t normal either.
The composition of the vassals of the Countess of Leon is quite complicated.
There were a total of three vassal families, and one of them was the military commander Kerisian.
The problem is that the earthenware pot flew away at his command earlier (due to the wizard’s Greek magic).
Without him, there is no way to control the other vassals, even if they succeed to the county.
He tried to kill himself by siding with the countess, but it was the circumstances of the nobility that changed depending on the situation.
At least he was a trustworthy person. If only he was alive, he would somehow be able to control it… died… … .
What if he succeeds to the county like this?
There are three options, no choice, ‘live’.
poisoning, murder, suicide.
“under… … .”
I can’t see the answer.
Moreover, even the ships of the Thrang Empire have been destroyed.
The Duchy of Brittany is in a position that is no different from a vassal state of the Serang Empire.
Even if they go back, the political burden is not small.
Even if they returned the captives intact, the Empire would have suffered quite a bit of pride.
‘Should I get down on my knees and pray… … .’
The probability of forgiveness is probably close to zero.
“Kill everything that has become like this. How about going with us? kid. The opponent is the Thrang Empire. Counts of the Duchy of Brittany say one cough is enough.”
Know.
My relationship with most of the nobles of the Thrang Empire is about to turn sour.
There are not just one or two things you need to pay attention to when you go back.
The situation is also sh*t.
If it was a game, it would have been better to restart the story even with the penalty of not being able to connect for a week.
Anyway, growth is a form of repeating the story and doing PvP based on that growth, so there is no big hit.
Moreover, you can get rid of the penalty by using paid items.
Anyway, it’s the worst difficulty.
but.
No matter how much Rian himself is brainwashing this world as a game, there was something different about calling it a game.
“I can’t just die… hmm?”
Then something flashed in my head.
Who will be in trouble the most if I die? do.
The vice-captain had been flirting with him since earlier.
Should I take the initiative by making a suicide commotion? While thinking… … .
thud!!!
The waves rocked the boat.
The two boats were not firmly fixed, so a small shock occurred as they moved out of each other.
“Aww! f*ck!! fall! Die!!!”
die? I just thought!
I didn’t want to die.
Even if it’s a twisted situation like a dog, it’s a world that I like much more than the original world.
Even if he goes back, he’s just a loser.
“what… what! crazy!!!”
“Did you lose your mind?”
“I didn’t look sane from the start, but… … .”
The pirates just watched Lian fall into the sea.
but… A few of those whose heads were spinning suddenly darkened their faces.
Especially the vice-captain.
“Damn you kid! At least this time!!!”
Hand-to-hand combat on deck.
Many were shot or stabbed and drowned in the sea.
Red blood seeped into the sea.
I was attracted to that fishy smell.
Shaaa!!!
Something dark in the sea was rapidly approaching the ship.
“buy… shark.”
I also saw Lian, who had fallen off the railing in dismay.
Huge fins cutting through the waves.
“f*cked.”
The body could not be stopped by Newton’s first law of motion, inertia.
And it started to fall freely due to gravity.
with a plop!!
“Ufufufufu!!!”
It reminded me of an important fact that I had forgotten.
“Fufufufu!! Fufufufufu… … .”
The fact that I can’t swim.
Is there anyone who can save you?
despite the threat of sharks.
Unfortunately, even if you are not confident, there is a way to get out of here by threatening the helmsman of the navy.
“Damn you kid!!”
with a splash!
At that time, there was a person who jumped into the sea with a dagger in his mouth.
“Pu~ah~! Barge… page?”
Perhaps the spirit armor has a cooldown.
No matter how well a warrior handles mana, he can attack sharks naked in the sea… … .
“I do everything I do.”
The vice-captain quickly swam in front of Lian and stood by.
Little Lian splashing around at the shark excited by the smell of blood would look like fresh, undead prey.
Shaaa!!!
The shark came fast.
“Idiots!! What are you watching?!”
the vice-captain shouted.
bang! Tadadang!!
Several pirates who were watching from above on the deck shot at the shark.
Dig up!!
A shark that was hit by a horse gun, but only flinched and did not slow down.
It was not a regular shark, but a shark with ironclad.
He is not a guy who will back down with a shot or two.
“sh*t!!”
Eventually, the shark attacked the vice-captain, but he is a mid-level fighter.
He grabbed the shark’s nose with one hand and resisted going into the mouth with a dagger in the other hand.
Fu-wook!
stabbed right under the eye.
The tough sturgeon’s skin tore apart and the sea was stained with blood.
I tried to stab him in the eye, but unfortunately he missed.
PABABABABAK!!!
Surprised, the shark flapped and quickly turned and ran away.
The jewels on the daggers under his eyes glistened in the sunlight, revealing their location.
The twinkle is getting farther and farther away.
“Damn it… The seal of our family… … .”
No matter how weak it was around the eyes, it probably wouldn’t have hit properly with a tolerable sword.
In addition, even if the vice-captain was a mid-level warrior, it was difficult to stab him in the eye.
Sam loses an expensive sword to save Rian’s life.
“Fufufufu! Afufu!!”
“Stupid kid. Did you jump into the sea when you couldn’t even swim? The cost of a clever little bastard’s life is filthy high.”
Seeing him struggle in the water, I could tell he wasn’t really trying to die.
Of course, I have no choice but to misunderstand that Lian staged a suicide commotion to take the initiative.
‘No one will be able to shout.’
snap!
The captain grabbed Lian and dragged him onto the ship.
The pirates threw a rope, so I was able to climb up easily.
with a splash! with a splash!!
If it was a little late, I would have been unable to save it.
All of a sudden, various sharks flocked around the boat.
Most of them were cowardly common species, but there was a high probability that they would attack even a living person if there was nothing left to eat.
Because he was very excited by the smell of blood.
“Kwueek!! Cough Cough!!”
Lian, who was lying sprawled on the deck, coughed.
The magician approached and immediately cast a spell that restored energy.
A warm feeling enveloped my body.
I don’t know what… Result was good!!
The perfect suicidal commotion!
I don’t know if this world is a game or not, but in order to use the knowledge I know, I need at least the county.
By the way, the level of difficulty from inheriting the title to stabilization.
Why would it be necessary to leave the relatively easy path? What is the easy way?
The pirates are trying to give him the captaincy, at least formally.
They are pirates, and there are as many as five warriors armed with spirit armor.
In addition, it was the point of acquiring a floating battleship called a moving castle.
This amount was equivalent to the power of a tolerable county.
If you get a chance, you can eat the reishi.
I saw that while playing.
The Norse who appear at the very beginning.
Just look at it like a Viking.
The northern part of the Ingleson Kingdom has been eaten by them, and because of that, the control over the former kingdom of Airy is gradually decreasing.
Here, what if the current king dies without succession properly? It’s going to be a very fancy party.
The Spring and Autumn Warring States period brings to the land of Britain, which consists of two small islands.
This situation happens twice in ten plays.
‘wait… Didn’t I say that my mother’s family was a nobleman of the land of Airy Kingdom in the past?’
He was such an old person that I thought everyone in this world knew about him, but I’ve never heard of Lian Leon.
It seemed like it was because I was already lost in this place at the beginning of the game.
The important thing is that you are Lian Leon and you are alive.
That means there is a justification for pressure on the Countess of Leon and a justification for non-pressure on the territory of the former Airy Kingdom.
In other words, even if you become a pirate and eat territory, you can be recognized by religious leaders and also recognized by civilized countries.
He had both the advantages of a pirate and the advantages of an heir to a count.
“Heh heh. Ahahahahaha!!!”
Lian jumped up and laughed like crazy.
“I fell into the sea and went crazy.”
“I must have been possessed by a water ghost.”
“Ahh. Poseidon, god of the sea… … .”
The pirates all retreated one step away from Lian.
However, it was the pirate executives who were aware of the situation on the urgent side.
they saw Ryan’s abilities.
If Lian goes mad like this, the Ormon Pirates will collapse.
“I… excuse me. Captain? I don’t know the exact circumstances, but I have to live for now, right?”
“okay. okay. There is a saying that even if you roll in orc dung, you will be fine.”
“Rather than being a noble with a headache, why don’t you go to sea with us?”
The pirates on the mission began to persuade Lian.
“I don’t know. I’m going back to Count Leon.”
“Looking back, it sounds like you’re in a difficult situation to go back.”
At that time, the navigator who was looking at the map opened his mouth.
“What do you know, uncle?”
“I am a pirate, but I know a little about nobles. If you go back, you will die. Instead, if you become our captain, I will help you inherit the title. How is it, vice-captain?”
At his words, the vice-captain nodded. but.
“150 gold.”
“What?!”
“kid. I don’t know if you know because you’re young, but pushing us into the Territory Battle for 150 gold is cheap.”
Golden is not a currency, but rather a unit based on the weight of pure gold made for transactions between countries with different currencies.
Each gold coin has a different gold content, which is why such a strange monetary unit was created.
150 gold is by no means a small amount of money.
On average, the county’s net income for a year was approximately 100 gold.
“Sometimes he said he was a pirate captain.”
“Little boy, the moment you succeed in inheriting the title, you are no longer our captain. we are pirates A body that must return to the sea after the four of you succeed to the Countess. Instead, I’ll serve you in the bodyguard for a year.”
It’s not a bad condition.
A mercenary’s daily wage is approximately two pennies.
(1 real life = 12 pennies. 1 gold = 120 pennies. 1 golden = 1200 pennies)
If you hire 300 mercenaries for a year, you will get 182.5 gold.
However, although the number of pirates here is not enough, they are elite and have 5 warriors.
It’s not bad.
“What is the distribution ratio of loot?”
“Captain 30. Executive 20. Operating expenses 20. The remaining 30 are divided equally. As soon as I collect 150 gold for operating expenses, I will become a mercenary at any time.”
“good. received After all, I’m a captain before I become a count, right? Do you admit all of that?!”
Lian shouted, looking around.
The normal pirates didn’t know what they were talking about, so they looked dumbfounded.
“welcome. Captain!”
“Captain. Please take good care of me.”
“It is a good choice. I will serve you as the captain from now on.”
“It’s the first time I’ve ever had a kid as captain.”
“I will definitely protect the captain’s authority.”
The people in the mission were unanimous because they saw my ability.
“what?! Is the kid really the captain?”
“Eight! I don’t know. The vice-captain is the captain.”
“Then what? I have to admit it.”
“For now, I don’t know. Take off your panties and scream!!”
“Waaa!!!”
“Victory!!”
The pirates cheered at the sudden declaration of captain.
It was also a shout for victory.
“So Captain. What are you going to do now?”
At the words of the vice-captain, the pirates’ eyes drew attention.
Lian’s age is not important to them.
Even as a kid, being a captain was important.
On a ship, the captain’s orders are almost absolute.
sereung!!
Pirates check their weapons.
If the order is given to kill them, they will all be thrown into the sea.
Now the sharks are having a party under the boat.
“Lian!! It looks like it’s going to get twisted and run away! It won’t be like that. If you kill us, you will be in trouble!!”
I don’t know how things are going, but it was the Countess who became urgent.
The fear of what might happen right away came over me.
“this… shut up!!!”
At that time, the captain of the warship that was quietly tied up shouted to stop her, but it was too late.
She spit out information to increase her value as her hostage.
“A warship is waiting at the entrance to this island!! Do you think you guys can get out?!”
