A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 103: (2)

Once Viscount Karian agreed to join Kaiyans plan, he gathered his officials to explore if there was a way for his territory to gain independence.

The result yielded only one possible solution.

So, I asked Viscount Vyraxar for help. If Viscount Vyraxar offers war reparations to the Armis family on behalf of Viscount Karian, then Viscount Karian can achieve independence for his territory.

This was only possible because Viscount Karians territory was personally inherited from the Armis family. If that werent the case, even with Viscount Vyraxars assistance, achieving territorial independence would be impossible.

Upon hearing this, Viscount Karian frowned, and Viscount Vyraxar looked at Kaiyan as if he couldnt believe his ears.

Give up reparations? Why should I do that? I participated in the territorial war as a legitimate ally and won, so I have the right to claim reparations.

Youre well aware that you wont receive a significant reward. Instead, I hope Viscount Vyraxar can understand that by helping Viscount Karian, he can inflict greater damage on the Armis family.

While the Markain family being the ruling party might not have known the limit of reparations that Viscount Vyraxar could receive, it was clear that the amount of reparations wouldnt offer any significant benefit to the Vyraxar family. However, what would happen if Viscount Karian, who had ties to the Armis family, gained independence?

Hmm

Perhaps Viscount Vyraxar had considered this, but he only sighed without saying anything further.

You asked me how I would stop Duke Kamdia, didnt you? Its simple. If Viscount Karians territory gains independence, the Armis family will lose the northern region. This means that the connection between the northern territories of Duke Kamdia and Count Armis will be severed.

It was no exaggeration to say that in order to reach the Kamdia territory from the Armis territory, one had to pass through the northern region controlled by Viscount Karian. Otherwise, the only alternative route would be to pass through the territory of Viscount Vyraxar, which included crossing the Gallun Mountains to the east of the Armis territory.

Now do you understand why Viscount Vyraxar should help Viscount Karian achieve independence? Unless Duke Kamdia is a complete fool, he will not only have to reduce the size of his territory but also lose direct access to the Armis familys territory.

This was truly a proposal that benefited everyone except Kaiyan.

From Vyraxars perspective, it weakened the Armis family, considered their arch-enemy. Viscount Karian wouldnt have to give up his territory, and the Markain family would no longer have to tiptoe around the Armis family, and they would receive substantial reparations as well.

Now, my plan concludes here. If anyone has anything to say, please speak freely.

He lowered his hand from the table and leaned back, but no one spoke.

They must be thinking about it

In the conference room, a stillness prevailed for several minutes.

I believe in Mr. Kaiyan, the first to speak was Linda, who had been staring at him with bright eyes since the meeting began.

Kaiyan nodded quietly in response to her, and Viscount Karian, who had been closing his eyes, opened them and nodded as well.

Thats right. I believe in you too. In fact, if it werent for your plan, it would have been impossible for us to get this far.

Hmm Very well. Lets proceed that way. However, Viscount Karian, you do understand that this will put you in a very difficult position, dont you? Viscount Vyraxar warned.

If he doesnt understand, hes a fool.

If everything went according to my plan, Karian would be the one who would have the most trouble. Karians territory was situated between the Kamdia and Armis territories, and both families considered Karian an opposition. Would they just leave Karians territory alone?

Of course, they would be cautious of the capitals watchful eyes and the presence of Lord Molsen to the west. Nevertheless, they could still make things difficult for Karian by exerting some control over his territory, initiating minor disputes, or challenging his authority in various ways.

I understand, Karian acknowledged.

Ohoho And yet youre willing to go along with it? Viscount Vyraxar raised an eyebrow with interest at Karians response.

Kaiyan, or rather, Vyarolf said something similar. If it werent for Kaiyan, Vyarolf would have died at the hands of the Armis familys shadows. So, I owe it to him to repay my sons debt. Besides

Karian looked at Linda with a remorseful expression and then continued, I also have the guilt of knowing about the Armis familys actions but turning a blind eye. So, its only natural that I take on this role.

What do you mean? Linda widened her eyes as if asking what he was talking about, but when Kaiyan shook his head, Karian seemed to have understood and shifted his gaze.

If Karian was talking about the incident he mentioned, it was the Armis Count who killed Lindas family members.

Not yet Its too soon.

Linda had just started to regain her composure, so how could Kaiyan bring up that topic now? Later, when Linda learned the truth, she might resent Kaiyan, but as someone who had experienced the same pain, Kaiyan couldnt bring myself to reveal the truth.

Well, it seems like weve reached the end of our discussion. So Ill need to stay here for a while as things get sorted out. Little Lady, would it be all right if I remained here?

Yes? Yes, of course, Linda responded.

Good.

If Viscount Vyraxar agreed to stay until the matter was resolved, it would prevent any scheming on the part of the Armis family before negotiations were concluded. However, it was something Kaiyan didnt ask for because it would inconvenience Viscount Vyraxar, but he brought it up on his own.

Grateful, Kaiyan nodded his head, and Viscount Vyraxar nodded as if he knew.

Okay, the Markain matter is settled now. Linda should be able to manage the territory on her own. Now, the remaining task is

To head to Vantigas, which I had postponed for a while.
