Novel Bin Chapter 197 Duel
"What is the need, the leader of the Red Faction to enter Rus Imperial territory while carrying a Sky Realm army?" asked Viktor in an even tone.
Nikolai laughed sarcastically. "Since when did the northern region enter the territory Rus Imperial Siberia belongs to no one since the fall of Russia."
Viktor casually said. "Then, yes. This territory does not belong to anyone. So please give us a way, Mr Nikolai. Our group is about to pass."
As much as possible Viktor tried to avoid conflict with the Red Faction. Not because he was afraid, but because he didn\'t want to be dragged into the political battle between the two great powers.
As Viktor was about to pass by, one of the Red Faction soldiers blocked him.
"Who said you could pass? This territory now belongs to the Red Faction. If you pass, we cannot guarantee your safety."
Of course Viktor who was threatened was furious. He\'s been holding back ever since. "Is that so? What can 100 people do against 1000 people?"
"You think 100 people?" Then Nikolai snapped his fingers.
Immediately from the back of the hall came the sound of metal creaking and footsteps. Everyone in the room heard the sound. Not long after, hundreds of people came enter the room with half a dozen artilleries, relics belonging to the Russian military, appeared. The six deadly vehicles were accompanied by hundreds of fully armed soldiers.
The recruits who saw the troops coming started breaking out in cold sweat. They started to swallow as much spit as they could find in their mouths.
Viez who had been trying to look calm, now his face turned tense. So was Anna. She gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.
Meanwhile, Viktor started to worry. His position was at a disadvantage. All of his soldiers were tired after fighting for three whole weeks. Maybe it would be more profitable for him if Viktor was alone. He could easily fight without a burden, if he was pressed, just run away.
"Djinn, now tell me the number of them all. If there\'s something out there, you can tell me," Viktor muttered in an annoyed tone.
[860 Human - Sky Realm Initial stage - Battle power 62 to 68]
[180 Human - Sky Realm middle stage - Battle power 70 to 74]
[59 Human - Sky Realm peak stage - Battle power 79 to 90]
[2 Human - Saint Realm - Battle power 99-120]
"Tch." Viktor clicked his tongue after knowing their number. There are a total of 1099 Sky Realms and two Saint Realms.
The situation was getting worse.
Nikolai then lures Viktor. "How\'s Northstar? You still want to continue fighting." His face had a sly smile.
But Viktor wasn\'t afraid at all.
Then his hands were raised in the air and his palms seemed to be squeezing something. Nikolai was surprised to see Viktor\'s actions.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, far behind came the sound of metal bending. The Red Faction soldiers started screaming in panic.
"Watch out!"
"The Artilleries! Everyone step aside!"
Hearing the commotion of his soldiers made Nikolai look back. Instantly his eyes opened wide and a look of surprise was evident on his face. Likewise with the recruits behind Viktor. They don\'t believe it.
You can see the muzzle of the weapons were bent, then one by one the metal parts of were released. The crew of the artilleries jump out, because the weapon was starting to form like a ball. The surrounding soldiers began to panic, trying to avoid the sight.
Nikolai\'s face turned red, his hands clenched into fists, and his teeth chattered.
"How dare you!"
Viktor just did [Metal Bending]. With a stage 6 Core of Anvil, it was easy for him to bend tier 1 and tier 2 weapons, let alone ordinary metal. For Viktor it was like crumpling paper.
With a slightly mocking tone Viktor said, "We can start the seizure of this territory."
Nikolai was already burning with anger. He was ready to give everything. On the other hand, the recruits behind Viktor were also ready to fight. Their eyes started to fiery and gripped their weapons tightly. If Viktor said "attack", they would immediately attack.
However, Viktor was a level-headed person.
"Wait!" Viktor\'s voice broke the mood. Instantly everyone\'s attention was on him.
Anna sighed as the tension began to subside. From the bottom of his heart, he was still not ready to kill a human.
"Please calm your mind. We don\'t need to cause unnecessary bloodshed. We just need to kill monsters, not humans."
After hearing Viktor\'s words, the recruits calmed down. But not with Nikolai.
"Then tell me how do we solve this problem, Northstar? I\'m sure neither of us wants to step away."
"There\'s a way," said Viktor. Nikolai seemed to raise an eyebrow, he was intrigued by Viktor\'s proposal. "Lets just have a duel!\' Viktor said
Nikolai thought for a second and said "against teh famous metal guardian who break the tower record? i don\'t think so"
"What are you afraid of, you have two saint realm among you!"
"Haha Northstar are you saying you are willing to fo two on one fight?"
Viktor was confident to fight one, but not two, seeing this Nicolai propose
"We have a one-on-one duel. But each side proposed five fighters. The fighter who wins will continue the fight, until all the fighters on the opposing team are exhausted. How about it, keep it simple? the one who wins, will get this territory, what do you think?"
Viktor nodded and said "I accept!"
Nikolai seemed to stroke his chin, then smiled. This match was quite profitable for him. On his side were two Saint Realms, including Nikolai himself. The remaining three, just enter the soldiers who are at the Sky Realm peak stage.
Besides, at a glance, Viktor\'s side was mostly the Sky Realm initial stage. There was only Anna who was at the Sky Realm Peak stage. The gulf in their strength difference was too great.
According to Nikolai, Northstar was just digging his own grave.
"Okay, I accept this challenge," Nikolai said confidently.
After hearing Nikolai\'s answer, Viktor smiled with satisfaction. He saw this dispute as a golden opportunity.
If he wins the bet, Viktor will get the northern territory. If his brothers found out that Viktor had managed to secure the northern region and expelled the Red Faction\'s people, he would definitely have a great reward.
"Hehe… I can charge anything from them," Viktor muttered in his mind.
After a while Viktor said, "Well, for the honor of Imperial Rus—no, for the honor of my master, Viktor Romanov, I seek to win the battle."
Viez narrowed his eyes after hearing Viktor\'s words, he couldn\'t believe what he just heard. Likewise with Anna. He still didn\'t understand why someone as great as Metal Guardian over Young Master was so careless.
While Nikolai looked surprised. "You refused to work under me, but instead swore allegiance to that useless person?" He sighed with disappointment.
Again Nikolai\'s words managed to irritate him. "Alright, I\'ll keep your mouth shut in this fight."
------
The sky looks clear, there are no thick clouds that cover the sunlight that hits the Earth. Beneath the large and tall Pillar was a camp with black tents. The camp was owned by the Red Faction. Opposite them were tents of the same color, but smaller. It was Viktor and his entourage\'s makeshift camp.
Both sides agreed to postpone fighting for a few hours. Because Viktor\'s party needs to rest first to recover energy. Meanwhile while waiting Jessie and Liza just arrived from the campsite
"So, what\'s our strategy?" Jessie sat huddled in a small tent with an area of ​​3x3 square meters, with Liza, Viez, and Viktor.
Three pairs of eyes seemed to be staring at Viktor. While Viktor himself just smiled stiffly, "We are fighting as best we can."
Jessie immediately patted her face, while Viez sighed. Only Liza seems normal.
"Come on. I know you are very strong. But we will fight the Red Faction! Two of them are Saint Realm." An annoyed tone escaped Jessie\'s mouth.
"You don\'t have to worry, just fight as much as you can. Everything will be fine." Viktor stroked the head of Liza who had been sitting watching him.
"Metal Guardians."
Anna\'s voice came from outside the tent. Viktor hastily put on the mask. Not long after, Anna\'s face appeared inside the tent.
"Discussion over? Everyone is waiting."
"Okay."
Instantly they came out of the tent and headed for the battle arena.
