The Return of the Eternal Hero
Meaning of the name Leonhart - Chapter 17

Leonhart's base of defense - March 8, 537

After slashing Grantz Alaric back into place, he returned Reina's sword and sat back in her seat

"Next your turn, choose!"

The next person was Stewart Bargos the second son of Marquis Bargos, Stewart was very nervous and speechless for a while

'Would I stress my position I be able to negotiate without having to go through the process of throwing the coin? No, even my father just killed him without hesitation at this time there is no other choice but to choose and correct'

Stewart thought that he mentioned that he was the second son of Marquis Bargos it was possible that Alaric would forgive him in order to avoid trouble if he killed him

But that thought was only his delusion and hope because even his father who was clearly a Marquis Bargos alone could be killed Alaric without hesitation

"Choose!"

'Shit!'

He mostly thought to the extent that Alaric told him twice, if he ignited Alaric's anger he might end up being killed just like that

"Front Part"

He only answered spontaneously because there was no time for him to think, his mind immediately mentioned the front because the two people who were killed they chose the back

"Well, your choice is the front, if your choice is right you'll survive but if it's wrong you'll kill me"

Alaric immediately threw his coin in the same way as before and he caught it in the same way by using his right hand and the back of his hand was on top

'Please be right, please be right, please be right'

Alaric turned his hand and he started to open it

'Please part a-'

Stewart's heart continues to hope immediately stopped because the choice was wrong

"It's a shame the right one is the back"

"Ka-"

Even Stewart had not finished his first word his head was already pierced by the ice from Alaric's magic and his body fell to the ground with the blood flowing one with the blood of those who had been killed before

Now in this room there are only 5 people left, there are only Alaric, Reina, Edward, Count Hewiis and one last person who will play a coin toss game to determine his life

That person was really terrified how the way his eyes looked at the deaths of those earlier actually frightened him

If he could just maybe the current ground where he was standing was wet with urine but he could not because he had more water in his body coming out as cold sweat so that the urine came out from him very little

"You're the last one, pick it up!"

His mind was empty he could not determine how the previous people were killed due to the wrong choice

In addition, he was also aware that his position was useless because Marquis Bargos and Stewart Bargos were killed without hesitation

And he also realized that begging was useless because the first person to beg was immediately killed without mercy

"Just choose, you're wasting my time"

"Ss-sss-sa-I chose the front"

Hearing Alaric's orders he could only choose anything and hope that his choice was correct

"Well the front is your choice, pray that the front will really appear"

Alaric tossed his coin with the finger of his right hand

'Front part! The front!'

This last man was praying with his eyes closed he was completely unable to see it so he continued to pray with his eyes closed

The coin started to fall and Alaric caught it with his right hand and the back of his hand was at the top

Then Alaric put his right hand holding the coin over his open left hand

He opened his palm and the coin was now in his left hand and he raised his right hand and saw the result

"It's a shame...."

'This word don't!'

This was the beginning of the same sentence that Alaric had said when people had previously guessed wrongly

"Sadly, you're right... Though I want to bring the bodies of all of you to be able to suppress the Bargos"

"I'm right"

The last person actually felt relieved after successfully surviving, he felt like his entire suffering was lifted from successfully surviving

"Since you've managed to survive let's talk about how to solve this war"

'Ah, right also from the beginning the coin toss is done for this matter'

He completely forgot because after experiencing the stressful experience earlier, and now only he survives it means his decision will determine the future of the bargos

"Okay Mr. Archduke"

"First tell me your name and your position in the Bargos"

"My name is Alphonso Lord of the Archduke, and I am the Vice-captain of the Marquis Bargos's warriors"

"Well Alphonso, your position doesn't seem strong enough, I should have let one of the Bargos stay alive but unfortunately I can't use the same mana as the one who had the intention to kill me"

Mana was something that was in the air and became something that was already very familiar in this world

When someone wants to use magic or take out the Aura sword they need mana and usually people will attract the mana around them to serve as their own mana

So in short this word Alaric has the same meaning as 'I do not breathe the same air as those who try to kill me'

These words Alaric had heard from an acquaintance of his who had previously taught him how to execute but because in this world where it was more familiar from the air he changed his word to mana

"I promise to convince the Bargos family to agree to Mr. Archduke's request"

Alphonso immediately bowed and prostrated to Alaric, he knew that his existence only needed Alaric as a representative of the Bargos family only

And if Alaric felt no need for him he feared that he would be killed by Alaric, so he said that he would make sure that the Bargos received the result

"Yes good then, I really hope for you!"

"Okay Mr. Archduke"

"Before we start let's move to a better place"

......................

A few minutes passed and they had moved to another tent, inside the tent there were 4 people namely Alaric, Reina, Edward and Alphonso

But now that Alaric is sitting together with Alphonso on the bench facing each other, they are in a bigger tent that is usually used for strategy meetings

Reina and Edward stood behind Alaric left and right while Count Hewiis was in another tent with many soldiers watching him

The tent that was previously being cleaned and the bodies in the tent were also put in body bags so that they could be brought home by Bargos troops

"Well Alphonso first I want Leonhart's name cleared, the Bargos must drop the charges and announce that the evidence they provided is false"

"Of course the issue of retracting the allegations is very easy but to announce that it is false evidence would be difficult because it could be opposed by the central government because they have already stated that the evidence is genuine"

Alphonso's own answer is quite calm and wise, although he is very timid but in fact he is a person who is quite intelligent because it's possible he can be the Deputy Captain of the Bargos soldiers

"Look, I have something that can prove that the evidence is fake, all the Bargos need to do is announce it, if the central government intervenes then I will solve it myself"

Alaric already has evidence of Charles' betrayal, which he obtained from Dale, by showing evidence that Charles was the one who falsified the false evidence and he cooperated with the Marquis Bargos the central government could do nothing but accept it

'One time throw a stone two birds fall'

Alaric can make the name of Bargos and the name of the central government fall with this case, in addition to the name of Bargos which is considered as a central government fraudsters who also cooperate with Bargos will also fall

"Next Alphonso, I want Bargos to pay Leonhart a hundred thousand gold coins in compensation"

"Se-a-hundred thousand??"

Alphonso was surprised to be speechless that the amount was so much wealth Bargos might be able to pay but the Bargos family would start to fall because of running out of money

"Are you refusing?"

Alaric looked Alphonso in the eye with a sharp look, he intimidated Alphonso

"No...Not at all Mr. Archduke"

"Good then everything's done"

This was the result Alaric wanted, with him killing everyone else leaving Alphonso alone Alphonso would not be able to resist due to the fear that enveloped him
