Episode 202
New Dragon (2)
4th training ground.
Theo was working out in a place he hadn’t been to in a long time.
Because he had something to say to his followers.
“What are you going to do?”
Theo was now speaking comfortably to his followers.
Even if it’s a little uncomfortable, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for the passengers if we didn’t do it this way?
He let his words slip on Julius’ advice, but his followers liked it.
Now it seems like the distance between me and the Lord Soga has disappeared.
Their true feelings were that they had been anxious because they had not been able to narrow the gap between them for a while, which made Theo feel embarrassed.
‘Before I became a cow owner, these people really thought of me as close to them. Like family.’
I felt a little strange.
“yes!”
“It’s total chaos outside!”
“Master Theo too… … No! Shouldn’t Master Soga also give some kind of answer or announcement of his determination?”
The followers stopped training and asked about various rumors that were popular in Winterer.
All three candidates who were thought to have been disqualified from the race have declared their candidacy.
Didn’t there become chaos when even those who had been working hard to become Laurel Inspectors announced that they would participate?
That’s why it even got a fancy name.
-The Battle of the Dragons.
‘I thought it would be pulled out, but it was much faster than I thought.’
I thought that perhaps this was an event planned by the central government to revive the atmosphere that had not yet calmed down.
The position of the Nine Dragons is that great.
One of the most renowned prosecutors in the North.
A master known worldwide.
A being that can open one’s imagination and secure space.
All of these were adjectives referring to them.
‘After this, I wonder if they’ll even talk about the Battle of Climbing the Dragon.’
Theo let out a light sigh as he thought about Hilda’s group that the Black Dragon had already caught next.
I’ve been trying to find news about Wellington here and there, but so far there hasn’t been anything worth mentioning.
Then Theo realized that his followers were still staring at him and shook his head blandly.
“I have no thoughts.”
“Huh? What is that!?”
“Shouldn’t the Lord Soga be the one sitting there?”
“What if the person who became the Hangryong has other thoughts?”
Everyone jumped up and down in their seats as if it was their own business.
Pick.
The laughter grew louder.
“I told you, now is not the time to laugh?!”
“Oh, sorry.”
Theo waved his hand, but couldn’t wipe the smile from his lips.
“But you don’t have to worry too much. I’m not without thoughts either.”
“then?”
Theo smiled silently.
Because from here on out, it was the realm of politics.
There was nothing good for them to do on their own.
‘I wonder if I can secure the position of Hangryong with my current skills and how far I can reach, but it’s dangerous to reveal my skills right now.’
There were mixed opinions about Theo’s skills.
Some people speculated that Theo might be just at the level of a senior prosecutor, while others predicted that while it is true that Theo is growing quickly for his age, he is still too inflated and would only be at the level of a senior prosecutor.
Some people talked about the Yongmun Inspector, while others speculated that he might have reached the level of the Wolgye Inspector.
Isn’t the fact that he led the White Armored Cavalry to victory in a battle where the Black Iron Cavalry was annihilated and even fought with Granada on the front lines the proof of this?
But all there was was rumors, and no clear conclusion could be drawn.
It was because Baek Gap-yong, who knew the answer, kept his mouth shut.
So people were even more excited that Theo would appear in Hangryongjeon.
If you want to show that you are absolutely not lacking as a small-scale player, all you have to do is show off your skills in the Hangryongjeon.
Furthermore, if he were to defeat the other successors, including Kinkarnon, then the blasphemous voices talking about qualifications would no longer be heard.
but,
After much deliberation, Theo came to only one conclusion.
That there is nothing to benefit oneself.
‘My position won’t be shaken just because you’re talking about qualifications. My father’s declaration is that absolute.’
With even the Senate temporarily closed, there was no one left who could ignore Kyle’s voice.
So, there was no one who could protest the declaration that Theo would be placed in the Sogaju.
‘But if I show off my skills here, I’ll just be nitpicking.’
Even if Theo wins the Hangryongjeon, will the blasphemous voices really decrease?
Theo thought not.
Even though his voice might be heard now, eventually, the dissidents who disliked Theo would find a way to nitpick and nitpick over petty issues.
If it’s hard to find fault with ability, then let’s go with achievements. If that doesn’t work, then let’s go with origins. Then, let’s go with age and personality, one by one.

So Theo had no intention of throwing prey at them at all.
‘More than anything, once I become a Hangryong, the obligations and restrictions become too severe. It becomes difficult to carry out my will in the East.’
After the announcement that Troyvan’s territory would be granted as a direct territory of Sogaju.
Theo has already made specific plans for how to develop the East and how to make it his base.
I was confident that if I used future knowledge appropriately, I could maximize its potential.
Simply connecting the Floating Archipelago, the Bacchus Territory, and the East would yield enormous profits in trade.
But then you become a dragon?
Originally, the Nine Dragons were the names that represented the North. They had the duty to protect Winterer.
In other words, it would be difficult to move to the East, so Theo had no intention of taking on that burden.
at last.
Participating in the Hangryongjeon was more of a loss than a gain for Theo.
“You’re laughing like that again… … .”
“Hey, hey, it’s done, it’s done. You’ve already made up your mind.”
“I can’t stand to watch the fight over the cow’s milk.”
The followers gave up, knowing full well that Theo would never change his mind when he smiled like that.
“A scramble? What is that?”
“Oh, didn’t you know? The confrontation between Lord Soga and Lord Kinkarnon was actually the biggest topic of interest.”
“so?”
“So what’s the big deal? The stakes are high. We were just trying to have some fun, but, ugh!”
Theo laughed heartily as he looked at his followers who were licking their lips in regret.
“Who did you call?”
“Who should we bet on? Of course, it should be you, Lord Soga!”
“you’re right!”
“If we’re talking about loyalty, aren’t we the 4th generation of martial arts! Hahahaha!”
Looking at them laughing heartily, Theo felt confident.
‘These people are definitely not to be missed.’
* * *
“Putting aside the Dragon Warriors, I have something I want to say.”
Theo opened his mouth cautiously only after the atmosphere had calmed down somewhat.
The followers tilted their heads.
What are you trying to say that makes you hesitate like that?
“Did you know that I’m going east this time?”
“Oh, that? I can’t help but know. We had something to tell you about that anyway.”
“… … ?”
Theo tilted his head, not knowing English.
Do they have any requests regarding the East?
But the followers could not easily open their mouths, and were busy looking at each other with embarrassed faces.
As if to say, “Can I really take this out?”
Then one person steeled himself and stepped forward.
It was Sybil of the Nammun Quarantine Station.
Among them, he was the first to spar with Theo and became his first follower.
“I, Your Majesty, I know this may be a very rude request, and it may be an act of collusion based on friendship, but, um, let me be clear.”
“Tell me. Don’t be a burden.”
Her colleagues winked at her to hurry up, but Sybil shut her eyes tightly and shouted.
“Please take us to the East too! We want to follow the Lord!”
“… … !”
Theo’s eyes widened on their own.
Sibyl read the silence as awkward and continued speaking urgently.
“Wh, of course, we are well aware that we are still lacking in many ways in the eyes of the So, Soga Lord. We are still far from being able to stand next to him. However, we have not been sitting still all this time!”
Sibyl’s trembling speech gradually regained stability.
After I said the words that I had kept buried deep in my heart for so long, they burst out like a flood.
“I trained every morning without fail, hoping that one day I would stand next to the Lord of Soga. We also had meetings with each other to discuss swordsmanship, and… …!”
“Hahahaha!”
Sibyl’s scream was cut off by Theo’s laughter.
Sibyl and her followers looked on with questioning faces.
-Why are you suddenly like that?
-I know……?
-Did we do something wrong?
Anxious glances passed between them from time to time.
But Theo’s laughter just wouldn’t stop.
It was a long time after it ended.
I laughed so hard that tears welled up in my eyes.
“I was going to ask you that originally.”
Sibyl and her followers’ eyes widened slightly.
Theo curled one corner of his mouth.
“I plan to accept a large number of applicants before moving to the East this time. Among them, those with talent will be accepted as members of the 6th Unit of the Baek Gap Yonggi Corps.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
“If I were to choose an applicant, it would be better if it was someone I’ve known for a long time. Is everyone interested?”
Sybil was the first to raise her hand.
“There it is! Me! Me… … Whoa!”
“Get out of the way, Inma! The Lord Soga can’t see you!”
“Me too! You must not forget me either, Lord Soga!”
“Where should I submit my application?”
Why is it so funny to see everyone rushing forward, thinking that Theo might leave them behind?
Theo had to tell her to calm down for a long time.
‘But I’m glad it won’t be hard to find someone. I was just wondering what would happen if they said they wouldn’t go together.’
They thank Theo, but it was Theo who really needed to thank them.
In a situation where it was unclear how to organize the 6th Battalion of the Baek Gap-yong Corps, it was quite a headache to even choose the right people to protect the East.
Of course, if you advertise on a large scale, a lot of people will come.
The problem was that trust in them was a completely different matter.
‘A lot of them will be rags from somewhere else.’
But if the followers of the Four-Way Combat Team were the central axis, there was nothing to worry about.
Since they were close friends before they became famous, they can be trusted.
These people were originally the ‘waist’ people in Ragnar, and like Theo, they trained consistently and their senses did not rust.
In other words, if they were taken with them, there was a great advantage in that they could transplant Ragnar’s culture to the East.
There were a few other places Theo wanted to take us to in the East.
The Knights of Krimhild of the Floating Islands.
Bacchus’s direct subordinate unit.
The Baektap clan.
And the dragon legions… … .
‘In addition, I have to stop by ‘that place’ on my way east.’
The time has come to cultivate the things that have been scattered here and there.
‘However, the biggest problem is how to organize the 6th group.’
A place that will in effect serve as the personal guard of the Sogaju clan.
And furthermore, when Theo took the throne, it was a place that would become the axis of Ragnar, so it could never be treated carelessly.
‘After all, there’s no one else I can entrust the bodyguard to but him, right?’
Will they really agree to be together?
Theo turned his gaze to where the Baek Gap Yonggi Unit was.
How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
