SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 187

The Beginning of the War Era (3)

“jump!”

Rokhan’s body floated in the air before he could even check Talaran being thrown to the floor.

“shed… … !”

“I lost, I lost!”

Quang!

Lokan’s huge battle ax hit the ground next to him. That alone was enough to cause the ground to collapse.

The man, who was bleeding to the brim, bowed his head with a pale complexion, and Lokan accepted it calmly.

[The duel ends when the opponent declares surrender.][The winner is Lokan.]

“next ”

Having received Talaran’s declaration of surrender, Rokhan looked around him arrogantly. He didn’t stop at beating him, he summoned another High Master, Delas, forward.

But it was difficult to see him as an aggressor. The duration of Frenzy Manifestation still had a long way to go, and it would be possible to use Berserk immediately if it was over.

Others didn’t even know about it, but the momentum alone was enough to scare them. I didn’t feel confident enough to win.

“I admit defeat, too.”

So Delas admitted defeat before even fighting. He had already broken his heart, and even if he won, nothing would change.

But Rokhan didn’t seem to like it.

“What am I doing wrong? He’s going to surrender without even fighting, so he’s going to sell his country.”

“Oh, no, it’s not like that… … .”

Delas panicked at Rokhan’s extreme drive, but it didn’t seem like he had any intention of stopping.

“Come on, nigga.”

Lokan decided to put an end to what he had come this far.

There were a few skills with cooldowns running around, but there were still shards of light left, and if it were the current item, it would never be pushed back even compared to that of the High Master.

[The duel between Lokan and Delas begins in 10 seconds.][Setting duel conditions. Delas: Defeat when it falls below 5% of total health, Lokan: Defeat upon death][The duel begins. Be prepared. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Start!]

In fact, Lokan forced a duel. Once again, a bloody battle was held.

* * *

“Ugh… … .”

After the second battle was over, Lokan took a break for a while and battled with the thirty masters one after another.

The result, of course, was a landslide victory for Lokan.

Even if you don’t use Berserk, the title and item effects already make them not Rokhan’s opponents.

After such a riot, Lokan returned to the commanding barracks with a sad expression on their faces, and Talaran and Delas and the lower masters kept the commanding barracks grunting with their torn faces and bodies.

He had black bruises and sore bones all over his face, including his face, but Lokan did not allow him to recover.

The pain of defeat must be engraved deep into the bones

It wasn’t wrong, but they were forced into Lokan’s ‘faction’ from where they were squeezed so harshly that they felt compelled to do it.

“Huh, Marquis. But we are not nobles, we are knights… … .”

“Ah, yes, then you will be noble from today.”[Master Daltan has been given the title of Viscount.]

“Ugh!”

Knights above the master level can basically get the title of Viscount or higher whenever they want, but they all gave up the title and were in charge of front-line defense.

However, Rokhan was a marquis who could freely grant anyone the title of Viscount or lower. Even if they expressed displeasure, they forcibly removed the title and included it as their own faction.

Some resisted, but this was the forefront. It was a place where fists preceded the law.

“I’m not going to do anything right, I’m just going to do it.”

“It’s all for the defense of Kazantia, so just do it.”

“Anyway, it is possible to leave a faction after a certain period of time. Don’t nag, do it! Do you want me to keep repeating myself, Pak?”

The knights who succumbed to conciliation, intimidation, and violence all went under Lokan, and a special notification appeared when all 30-year-old Masters received their titles and entered the faction.

[A faction of ten or more nobles has been formed.][The faction level rises.][Various faction bonus effects increase.][Current faction level: 2][I have formed a faction with more than 20 nobles.][The faction level rises.][Various faction bonus effects increase.][Current faction level: 3][A faction of more than 30 nobles has been formed.][The faction level rises.][Various faction bonus effects increase.][Current faction level: 4]

In an instant, the faction level had risen by three steps. As a result, a faction bonus was attached. When nobles belonging to a faction manage the territory, an additional bonus is added.

[Received the LV 4 faction hall bonus.]

And a more special bonus was attached to Lokan. He received a greater bonus effect than the nobles in other factions.

“What are you doing, sign up!”

“We also… … do you mean?”

After leaving, Lokan also brought in the two remaining High Masters.

They already had the title of honorary earl even if Rokhan did not confer the title, but they had not yet joined the faction for fear that the situation would be disturbed if an influential being called the High Master took the side of one faction.

But now, Rokhan was begging them to join his faction.

“Marquis, no matter how hard it is to join a faction… … .”

They are now Talaran speaking politely, but Rokhan was already at the top of their heads.

“I.”

The extremely restrained, chilly voice spoke of the discomfort of Rokhan’s planting.

“What do you think you can do if you bring them into a faction, and what do you think you can’t do if you don’t?”

“… … .”

There was no need for long persuasion. Because they’ve already experienced it. They knew better that Rokhan could do anything without convincing them.

Unless it’s a coup d’etat.

“no. I will join.”

But if they tried to do that, they wouldn’t agree. Although they are bound by the name of a faction, it is their individual freedom to act within it.

Even if they were driven as traitors by Rokhan’s scheme, they did not resist and joined Rokhan’s faction, prepared to be arrested.

[Unbelievable achievement! You have placed under your control something more powerful than yourself.][Unbelievable achievement! You are the owner of the third largest faction in Restonia.][The two titles are combined.][You have acquired the title ‘Three Great Leaders’][You are the first to acquire this title.][Three Commanders][Unique+]

You are the leader of a faction within three fingers in Restonia. All nobles will look up to you, wary you, or fear you.

You are the first to win this title.

[Hold Effect]

-Ability of subordinate nobles within a certain range is increased by 20%

-You can [Summon subordinates] by selecting three nobles under your command

-In a certain range, the higher the number of nobles under your control, the more your abilities will be amplified.

-When using buff-type skills, the effect is amplified by 50% for the nobles and their enlisted under him

– This title will be automatically forfeited if you do not join the 3 major factions.

‘… … This is a scam’

Actually, that’s not what I was hoping for. I just thought it would be good to increase the faction level and get the effect.

However, he even got the title of ‘Three Great Leaders’ and gained tremendous abilities.

‘Then it would be a different story.’

Rokhan’s eyes flashed and he grasped the situation again.

“Okay, then, let’s all do ‘conscription’.”

“… … Yes ”

“… … Ah!”

After bringing them into the faction, there were some who understood the first order Rokhan gave, and there were those who didn’t.

But either way, Rokhan only gave out to each of them a pack of money bags that had been distributed beforehand.

“draft.”

“Conscription”

“draft!”

Their attitudes were different, but in the end, everyone started ‘conscription’. Then the soldiers rushed out from one side.

Since the level of the conscripted aristocrats was at the master level, they were all filled with powerful class experts.

“Ah, that’s why… … !”

It was then that everyone realized. The reason Lokan gave them titles, gave them a pocket of money, and triggered the conscription command.

Compared to other races, the shortage of troops was supplemented by conscription.

In the past, they were not nobles, they did not have the authority to conscript, and even if it was possible, they could not do it often because of lack of money.

“Wait a minute, you are ‘emergency’.”

In addition, the High Masters were given more special privileges.

Although conscription is possible, it is possible to additionally obtain the existence of the maximum master level through recruitment.Soon, Talaran and Delas shouted a recruitment command, and soon a list of available talent appeared.

“Ohh.”

The list was, of course, shared with the faction leader, Rokhan. Talents with various specialties appeared, but Lokan chose a total of four of them.

Elementalist, Barrier, Enhancer, Thief.

Although it was a master level, it was not a particularly powerful class, but Lokan was extremely satisfied. Because they weren’t just adding four master levels.

“Hey, change your master skills completely.”

After arguing, Lokan, who started talking at all, poured out shocking remarks one after another.

It was the master skill that allowed them to be in this position. The recipe is important enough to keep as a secret, and I was quite satisfied with myself, but now I’m going to change it.

No, there was no guarantee that a better master skill could be combined just by making a hundred concessions and changing it.

But Lokan was adamant.

“Where are you going to rub with a master skill that is at least an intermediate level, delete it immediately!”

While calmly evaluating their master skills, he carried a scroll with something written on them one by one.

Although it was a short period of time, the appropriate master skills were classified according to their respective specialties and combat methods, which were identified through the match.

As a Lokan who already knows a lot of advanced master skill combinations from past lives, it wasn’t that difficult to give them one decent master skill.

“This… … !”

They are also veterans who have gone through a lot of research and trial and error after reaching the master level. The moment I opened the scroll, I could see how valuable it was.

“Ha, I will!”

So it quickly changed its stance.

Those who refused to change skills due to pride and pride in their master skills declared that they would immediately delete the skills as a group and learn the master skills suggested by Lokan.

“So.”

“… … ”

However, Rokhan’s reaction was now gloomy.

At this point, they were confused.

“Hey, over there, Marquis. Then the skill book… … ”

“Why do you have to find me and save me?”

“Huh… … .”

I thought that Lokan would give me money and force me to do conscription, of course, but I thought that he would also provide a skill book this time, but when he replied why he was looking for it, everyone was puzzled.

In fact, it is absurd to expect it.

“I can sell you if you want.”

fuck.

When everyone faced reality, Lokan pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom with a deep smile.

contract right away.

In order to complete the combination formula made up of expensive skillbooks, the amount of money they had was not enough.

They did not collect any money by collecting taxes by receiving a title, and although there are many master-level green poles, they are spending a lot of money to eat and drink with the soldiers, and there is no way to get money right away.

So Lokan will lend it to you.

their bodies as collateral.

“So, I’m not going to sign it.”

They made an irresistible offer and shook their souls together.
