The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

196 – Territoriality (5)

Paul and Eileen were no match for me.

Although the two of them were not weak, I had become considerably stronger during this time.

When I sparred with Catalina, I was able to objectively check my skills.

In the first place, the chances of these two people beating me were slim.

But Gilbert was a little different.

“I recognize your accomplishments. But…”

Definitely different skills from the previous two.

It used a huge blunt weapon as its main weapon, befitting its huge size.

He did not just have military force.

When Gilbert lifted the blunt weapon, the air around him became heavy.

A strange sensation came over me, as if space was contracting.

‘Gravity magic.’

This is a fairly rare magic.

Gilbert’s spirit and aura were being released as magical power.

It is said that the person who deals with him has narrowed vision and his body shrinks.

But I didn’t go to that level.

Although tension built up in my body, there was no feeling of being overwhelmed.

On the contrary, I too was filled with the desire to win.

“We must prevent you from becoming commander-in-chief.”

“…Okay.”

The sparring began without any warning.

A bloody metallic sound rang out across the sandy plain.

Kaang!

When the iron club and the ice blade touched each other, the flow of magic power dispersed and the air became distorted.

As soon as I was out of breath, I felt an incredible pressure.

‘You’re stronger than I thought.’

Although its mere power alone was enough to surpass Catalina.

However, the attack route was too obvious.

“Aaaaap…!!”

An iron club that is struck vertically with a roar.

As I dodged with a backstep, a vibration echoed through the floor.

Such overwhelming force that you might even think the ground was shaking.

If you use your shield carelessly, there is a high possibility that you will be swept away by the pressure.

He put the shield on his back and held the long sword with both hands.

Then, he radiated magical power and turned it into a long ice spear.

“Tsk… “He has some pretty annoying abilities.”

Gilbert clicked his tongue and lifted the blunt object with both hands.

The chill I was giving off didn’t even bother me.

It would be quite dangerous if an attack was allowed even once.

We chose to keep our distance as much as possible, keep a check on them, and then look for opportunities.

“Hmph…!”

Gilbert charges forward while holding a blunt weapon in both hands.

When I threw a spear at the front, I read his trajectory and twisted my body to avoid him.

I tried to swing the blunt upward, but I was faster.

I tried to stop the opponent’s movement by hitting him in the face with a spear.

Pow!

“Ugh…!!”

Even though he was hit squarely in the face with a pole, Gilbert did not collapse.

As he swung his blunt weapon while maintaining his low posture, a strong wind blew past the tip of his nose.

‘It was dangerous…’

I instinctively put my head back and it was a disaster.

If I were not careful, I would have been hit in the face with a blunt object.

Gilbert swung his blunt weapon without stopping and tried his best to keep his distance.

That’s how much I retreated and continued to check with the spear.

Kaang!

The blunt weapon and spear clashed again.

At that moment, a chunk of ice broke apart on his left shoulder, accompanied by pain.

“The power is quite strong.”

I had no choice but to honestly admit it.

Among those I have faced so far, except for Erina and Katrin, I was the strongest.

His disadvantage was that his body was quite slow, but his tenacity was very strong.

He was clearly showing that he was not the leader of the Knights Templar for nothing.

“Captain Gilbert! “You can win!”

“I trust you, Captain!”

Before I knew it, the atmosphere around me was getting heated.

A little while ago, the knights fell into silence after seeing the two knight commanders fall.

I forgot about the conflict and started cheering for Gilbert.

‘Am I a stone that rolled into me?’

It didn’t matter anyway.

If I win, they will all have to follow my orders.

“Seohyun! Cheer up!”

“Yes! “I can win!”

Meanwhile, Celica and Tyria did not lose and were cheering me on.

I wanted to turn around and at least wave, but I wasn’t even allowed time to do so.

Gilbert did not lose sight of me with his eyes wide open.

A situation where you lower your posture and look for an opportunity to rush in at any moment.

I grabbed the spear once again and poured my magic into it.

The cold, frozen window grew bigger and bigger.

Finally, a long lance was created.

Even Gilbert can’t ignore something like this.

He held the lance with both hands and ran towards the opponent.

“Huh…!”

As expected, Gilbert also felt threatened and rolled to the side to avoid the spear.

Immediately, he swung his blunt weapon, but it only cut through the air.

After each failed attack, a power struggle broke out as the distance became closer.

Let’s continue the pressure by swinging the huge lance.

Gilbert also did not lose and accepted the lance and swung his blunt weapon.

“You have quite a bit of strength…!”

Gilbert struck down the blunt object with a distorted smile.

At that moment, the floor shook and the vibration spread through my entire body.

Release of magical power. Taking advantage of his disturbed posture, Gilbert launched himself and delivered a headbutt to his body.

But he could not suffer quietly.

With a quick decision, he put down the lance and rolled to the floor to avoid a collision.

“…?!”

Gilbert’s body stumbled wildly, as if he didn’t know I was going to throw away my weapon.

The only weapons I have left are a shield on my back and a dagger that Tyria gave me as a gift.

I pulled out the dagger tied below my ankle and grabbed Gilbert’s back.

Although it is a short dagger, the blade was strengthened by freezing it in a split second.

He stuck the dagger into his shoulder and let his magic flow.

“Aaaaah!!”

Gilbert must have been in so much pain that he let out a scream and fell to the floor.

His rapidly cooling shoulders were slowly losing strength.

“S-stop! “Please stop!”

At Celica’s voice, I put my hand on the dagger.

At the same time, a peaceful warmth came along with a warm light.

Gilbert’s frozen shoulder began to heal.

‘I didn’t intend to use a dagger.’

As I carefully pulled out the dagger stuck in his shoulder, he suppressed a scream and exhaled loudly.

“…I lost.”

At his declaration of surrender, the surrounding atmosphere froze again.

With this, all three knight commanders were defeated.

From now on, I will be the commander-in-chief of the garrison.

“A. Not funny.”

Catalina smacked her mouth and crossed her arms.

Is she being grumpy because she couldn’t step forward?

I also had no idea things would turn out like this, so it can’t be helped.

“I don’t know about the others, but Gilbert, I really want to stick with him.”

“You can do it later. “First of all, the urgent priority is to drive out the Demon King’s army.”

Although he succeeded in taking the position of commander-in-chief.

It was still not enough to gain the trust of the knights.

No matter how forceful it was, it was suppressed. If you refuse my orders, you are in a position to do so.

So, after sparring with the knight commanders, I started a meeting with my colleagues.

“The priority is to persuade the knight commanders.”

If I start an all-out war, how many people will follow me and fight?

At least Paul’s knights will hardly follow.

At least Gilbert was a man who admitted defeat, so he would have followed suit.

Eileen’s Knights could not be certain.

‘Because they are no different from extras in the first place.’

Paul and Eileen’s roles are just extras. That’s it.

Since Gilbert served as the leader most of the time, the two naturally did not receive much attention.

Although he was in name and name the leader of the knights of the kingdom, he was not particularly active.

However, it is ambiguous to say that he did nothing at all.

“Now that things are like this, wouldn’t it be better to order a sortie, at least by force?”

“No. “First of all, as they said, I think it would be better to focus on defense and prepare for the attack.”

Even Celica and Tyria have conflicting opinions.

Kayla also expressed a similar opinion as Celica, but she wasn’t sure either.

“I don’t know. “You guys take care of it.”

Of course, Catalina did not offer any opinions.

He just yawned and dozed off during our meeting.

‘This is more troublesome than I thought.’

In the game, the knight commanders plan their own strategy, so all you have to do is go out and fight.

But the situation was such that I had to take on that role.

However, as I did not know the internal situation of the Knights, I had a difficult time planning a strategy.

While I was wrapping my head around and planning a strategy.

“Hey… “Do you mind if I come inside?”

An unfamiliar voice was heard outside the tent.

When I went outside, Knight Commander Eileen came to see me.

“What’s going on?”

Then she quietly looked at her and gave a standby order to her subordinates who followed her.

“I’d like to talk a little bit. “Are you okay?”

What is the reason you came to see me?

Although I was suspicious of her first, there was no reason to stop her.

“Well, come in.”

“Thank you. Excuse me.”

Eileen carefully entered the tent, looked around, and sighed.

Her countless eyes looking at her.

Doubt. Boundary. Boredom. And live.

There were no favorable views anywhere.

“So, what brought you here?”

“…I came here because I wanted to ask you something.”

Surprisingly, she did not express any negative feelings towards me.

Of course, I couldn’t tell his true feelings, but at least he didn’t seem hostile to me.

“Actually, I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you. And when I heard that Seohyun was coming here…”

Eileen took a moment to catch her breath, then lifted her head and looked straight at me.

“Honestly, I was looking forward to it.”

“Expectations…?”

“Yes. “Didn’t you defeat two of the Four Great Blades?”

Surprisingly, Eileen seems to have had a good impression on me.

Then she began to reveal her favorable feelings by reciting her rumors about me.

“I thought that together with Seohyun, we would be able to push back the Demon King’s army.”

“So you didn’t show your sincerity when you sparred with me.”

“…Yes. You’re right. But we would have lost anyway.”

In fact, when she sparred with Eileen, she felt uncomfortable.

Paul was careless and conceited and fell down too quickly.

The sparring with Eileen ended very abruptly.

As an honest person, I couldn’t sense any sincerity.

As soon as the knife was pointed at his neck, he immediately declared surrender without hesitation and lost his nerve.

“Seohyun. Let me be honest. “I agree with you.”

Something I couldn’t say in front of the other two knight commanders.

That’s why he came to me separately.

Is at least one of the three allies?

I’m glad I finally found some hope.
