Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 465



Chapter 465

Episode 465 Proof (5)

The moment they stand up from their seats, the noisy family heads close their mouths and focus their eyes on me.

Even though they are clearly in the same space, the eyes that somehow feel the wall. The baron with a beard, who met my eyes, opened his mouth as a representative.

“Let’s see if Baron Yandel has something to say.”

There was no need to interpret the meaning of those words.

I’ll listen to what you have to say, but don’t expect us to change your mind.

It doesn’t look very different from other family heads.

‘It’s not like I’m saying let’s live well alone.’

Thirty-one heads of household from thirty-one families.

Among them, the only one I can call my ally is Baron Rabbit, who is anxiously awaiting himself at the organizer’s seat.

So say it again.

‘That means I just have to convince 15 people.’

Melves had now become a group of thirty-two families, including me.

A majority of 17 votes are required, and the votes for Baron Rabbit and I have already been secured.

“That… Baron Yandel?”

I finished organizing my thoughts with the voice of the rabbit baron, who looked somewhat uneasy.

“I’ll tell you this first. It’s not because of my greed.”

It was the first thing I had to point out in order to convince a fifteen-year-old.

“This agenda brought up by the Baron of Libya is for all of us, Melves.”

Of course, as if he had been waiting, a response came.

“How is it for Melveth to support Baron Yandel and his clan?”

“Because I’m different from you guys.”

“……?”

The mustachioed baron tilts his head.

“A noble’s strength comes from their family. But my family is in a situation where they need to find a land to settle on.”

As he lowered his posture for a while in front of everyone, the doubt in his eyes grew even bigger.

After that, I think this is enough momentum.

“But there is no aristocrat who sincerely laughs at me like that.”

I spoke.

“It’s very strange. Neither the Marquis of Tercerion nor the Duke of Kealunus respect me and do not treat me carelessly.”

“…….”

“What do you think the reason is?”

“Yeah… Isn’t that fame?”

“Wrong.”

Well, strictly speaking, it’s not entirely wrong.

Where did that name come from?

“That’s power.”

Giant Bjorn Yandel.

A person who became a baron by accumulating his specialty with the help of his single arms.

“My fame and status came only because I was strong.”

thus.

“This is why you must support me.”

logic is complete.

“Because if I become stronger, my status will rise too.”

“……?”

“I’m not going to be satisfied with the title of baron.”

Helping me is for Melves.

***

Thirty one in total.

No, now it’s Melves, a group formed by the union of a total of 32 families of different races with me as a member.

There are two major weaknesses of this group.

One is that they are excluded and checked by the existing aristocratic society for being of a different race.

And the second one…….

‘The tallest child is the count.’

One count is the maximum output.

“Help me, and I will make all your wishes come true.”

However, the reaction that came back was indifferent, probably because my logic didn’t touch me that much.

“I understand Baron Yandel’s aspirations, but isn’t this also a privilege for a specific family after all?”

That’s when I’m left.

Originally, society is pushing from behind and pulling from above.

‘Still, it seems that a few people were interested in my story, so is that okay?’

Enough romance has been shown, so it’s time to attack the other side this time.

“Of course, that’s not the only reason why you should support me.”

I spoke.

“Melves still hasn’t touched the labyrinth-related business. Considering that Melves sponsors the clan, it’s not really a loss.”

Numerous aristocratic families sponsoring clans of explorers is not just a means of show off.

Having a clan under your command means you can exert influence within the Labyrinth at any time.

As this whole kingdom relies on a single labyrinth to return, it goes without saying the importance of its influence.

There was no such clan yet in Melves.

“I know what Baron Yandel is trying to say. But it’s not because we couldn’t do it that we didn’t touch the labyrinth business.”

“Then why?”

When I pretended not to know the reason, the mustache baron gave a kind answer this time.

“It’s because if we touch the Labyrinth, the existing forces will come in check.”

At least on the surface, it was a similar part of drawing a line with the Holy Land.

Not to increase the enemy as much as the power is small.

That was Melves’ motto.

But…

“But isn’t that the end of the story the moment I entered?”

From the moment Melves accepted me, a famous explorer before becoming a nobleman, that strategy became unusable.

However, the mustache baron was also not easy.

“That’s why this topic is all the more dangerous. If official support continues, there’s really no excuse. The outside world will think we’re using Baron Yandel to get our hands on the Labyrinth, and that doesn’t do Baron Yandel any good.”

The answer shows the determination that personal support funds cannot be given even 1 stone.

But if you’re going to back down with this, you haven’t even started.

“Are they that scary?”

I asked in a provocative voice.

Originally, in order to change people’s thoughts, they need an appropriate stimulus.

The reaction was instantaneous.

“…It’s a pointless question.”

“Why are you saying it doesn’t make any sense?”

“We just make rational decisions. That’s what it means to lead a family. Beyond me, my children. It’s a position where I have to take responsibility for my family beyond my children.”

It was a bit emotional, but surprisingly not very hostile.

On the contrary, I felt as if I was giving sincere advice to my juniors.

Therefore, it was necessary to shake more.

“All I can hear is that I will defer responsibility to future generations.”

“I have no reason to slander you for my judgment.”

Eventually, the baron mustache’s voice hardened.

Although he was involved in everything, he was quite a gentle man.

I felt sorry for some reason, but I couldn’t help it.

By acting above myself, for my team and my clan.

“There is a misunderstanding.”

Anyway, since this is enough to push, it’s time to pull.

“Baron Hescaira, I didn’t mean to slander you. I just meant that you need to actively increase your strength from now on.”

“…….”

“Isn’t that what attracted me?”

He spoke softly, but the mustache baron gave no answer.

However, instead, the remarks came out for the first time elsewhere.

“I think there is some truth in what Baron Yandel said.”

Baron Bwellin of the White Rang Tribe.

He is in his 30s, a man who belongs to the very young axis among family heads.

“Isn’t it something everyone agreed that we need to change too?”

As Baron Rabbit had heard before, there were many people in Melves who were dissatisfied with the current situation.

So, as soon as Gak came out, it must have come out like this.

“Ah, that doesn’t mean I agree with this topic. Maybe it’s in the old days when it wasn’t even settled properly. Now, I think expanding our influence to the labyrinth is a worthwhile attempt. While everyone is making their contributions in this war, Couldn’t you just watch?”

A full-fledged debate began with the words of Baron Bwellin.

“I also agree with this part. It was a little cumbersome to borrow the power of the Holy Land every time an explorer was needed.”

“But is it really necessary to do it through Baron Yandel? Even if we just gather our tribe’s explorers, we should be able to create a clan right away.”

“Certainly… I heard that Baron Yandel’s clan is still less than 10 members.”

“Yes. I’d rather gather talented people from each family, create a new one, and apply together.”

Hmmm, this is not good.

I hurriedly intervened before I moved further from the center of the conversation.

“You know one thing and you don’t know the other two!”

“…yes?”

“The war will be over by then!”

What is the reason why those who pursue safety are greedy for the labyrinth business?

All because of the war.

Many families have benefited enormously from the clans they support. But just watching it made me feel sick to my stomach.

‘Uh……’

It must have been that way…….

“Well, I guess it’s too hasty to think of benefiting from this war.”

“I am of the same opinion. It is necessary to be prepared for a recurrence of this situation in the future, but I did not mean to do it right away. A hasty step is always twisted.”

This is why they are nobles.

The problem is my unique mindset toward the future.

You can do something big with such a relaxed and complacent idea.

It’s been like this for thousands of years, so nothing has changed.

As a K-barbarian who prioritizes ‘quickly, quickly’, it is truly a heartbreaking conversation.

But…

‘I’ll have to change my strategy.’

There were two options I could present to politicians who see the future.

Do I appeal to my future value according to my needs?

Or just make the future they envision look like a gutter.

Naturally, I chose the latter.

“Stupid! Even as you waste your time, the families that ignored you will grow stronger!”

I grew up seeing and hearing that politics is negative.

“Don’t you know just by looking at the Chancellor? He’s using the situation of being at war to raise his family! Aren’t they giving only their own people a place to make a contribution!”

“But isn’t Baron Yandel, who made the achievement this time, a Marquis?”

“I am an exception!”

Bringing up a topic that even the word “radical” would not be enough.

“Just look at the chancellor’s son! He has neither a name nor skills, but he became a corps commander during the war and is recognized for his contributions without doing anything on the battlefield!”

“It’s a little too much to say that Tercerion Sogaju doesn’t have the skills…” ”

Anyway, I was fortunate to be the baron this time, but what do you think it will be like if the war lasts longer? Surely, a few more new noble families will be born. That family will be under the command of the family that supported it!”

“…….”

“Are we going to wait and see? If we intervene, it’s an opportunity for another family from a different race to emerge?”

stimulate desire

But even so, it wasn’t easy.

“…It can’t be helped. It’s our fault for not preparing for the right time.”

“The war was so unusual.”

“To be honest, I don’t know if something like this will ever happen again. Wouldn’t it be best to just live as we are right now…….”

What are these guys really?

The rabbit baron, who couldn’t stand my hard work, also stepped in and applied, but in the end, the vote began without clearly overturning public opinion. ”

I’ll start making decisions now. If you are in favor of formal support for Baron Yandel and Clan Anabada, please raise your hand and express your opinion.” The result was

obvious.

‘I didn’t expect it to be this conservative.’

In the end, I had no choice but to aim for the next opportunity—

“I agree.”

The words that came to me while Baron Rabbit and I were raising our hands lonely.

It was Baron Bwellin of the White Rang Tribe.

At least among the family heads, the need for ‘change’ was acknowledged. I’m sleeping…

‘…… Huh?’

Surprisingly, starting with him, the number of families who started raising their hands gradually increased.

One, two, three, four…….

Within a short time, when it was time to count, the number of votes in favor exceeded the majority by a jaw-drop

. Seventeen families voted in favor, and accordingly, formal support for Baron Yandel and Clan Anabada was passed.”

Even Baron Rabbit, a native of Melves, couldn’t hide his bewilderment. ”

I agreed to

support, but I disagree with the use of Melves’s public money.” Regardless of

whether the vote was in favor or against, everyone put restrictions on their support for me, and in the end the 1. Possible

to borrow using public funds (with interest and limit)

2. Provide one of the buildings of Melves as a clan house (cheap)

3. Accept Melves-specific quests.

In the end, the key is It was number 3.

If I needed the strength of my clan, I would make a formal request in Melves and pay the corresponding price accordingly

… .’

Okay, let’s be satisfied with this today.

***

After the meeting at Baron Rabbit’s house, I rode the carriage again and returned home. After getting a good night’s sleep yesterday, I left the house early the next morning. This

month The schedule

is tight throughout

. Shabin Emour.”

“…Is it morning already?”

“…….”

I immediately went to the Holy Land and started the work of the tribal chief

. I checked, and he heard and granted permission for things that required my approval.

By the way, this was not the end of the tribal chief’s duties.

“Oh! Bjorn! Did you come!”

“It’s not Bjorn, but the chief.”

“…Yes, the chief!”

Check Einar to see how many warriors who finished the coming-of-age ceremony returned alive, whether there was anything else happening within the tribe, and what public opinion was like.

And… ….

“I’m the second elder…?”

“Don’t you like it?”

“It can’t be! would! I will do it unconditionally! Just give it to me!!”

After being betrayed by a colleague, he was saved by me and awakened. I appointed Charon, the son of Tarson, the warrior who brought about the knapsack revolution, as the 2nd elder.

Einar alone was not enough

. Since the month has begun, I have to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony next month, but I don’t have time to pay attention to each one. It’s impossible to

put more burden on the already busy administrative corps. Anyway, just

like that, a day or two.

The busy time goes by like crazy. A new day began:

July 5, 157,

the day of digging.
