Chapter 114
##114
aaa!!!
The cheering Count Leon.
wonderful? Rihanna posing.
“Please stop that weird pose!!”
The vice-captain shook his head.
Usually, there were a lot of cool poses related to battle.
Even in a form that is not useful in battle, it inflates its body to give a sense of intimidation to the opponent.
“It’s because I don’t know art.”
Ryan shook his head. Then he shouted at the soldiers under the walls.
“Thanks to your bravery, we won the battle.”
aaa!!!
The cheers continued.
You can brag to your son and son just by participating in such a historic battle.
Of course, it’s enough as a side dish when drinking alcohol.
“Now is the time to conquer!!”
aaa!!!
No matter what Lian said, the soldiers cheered.
The blessings of the god of war and the god of the sun still rested on Lian.
“stop! time is gold Quickly disperse and find the refugees. And cruelty to the common people is forbidden.”
Lian’s words cut the cheers.
For the invading army, looting is the basic existence of civilians, and murder and rape are options.
It is a good means to relieve the extreme stress caused by war.
“This land will soon be mine. These will be your good neighbors. How do you want to be remembered by your neighbors?!”
The direction of the war is not in a state of uncertainty.
Almost 100% win.
A neighbor who will eventually serve the same monarch.
“I hope you will become a person who is not ashamed of the God you believe in.”
Lian quietly bowed her head.
The soldiers bowed their heads as if they had become solemn.
However, the mercenaries were a little dissatisfied.
Looting in war is a big bonus in a way.
Sometimes, looting was more rewarding than money from employers.
“Mercenaries, do not be sad. There are quite a lot of goods piled up in Count Rudeac Castle, so if you capture the castle, there will be a bonus.”
oooooooo!!!
Only then did the mercenaries’ faces turn red.
The vice-captain saw it.
“They must be bandits, not mercenaries.”
“We are pirates, mercenaries of the sea. It is the same for mercenaries on land as bandits.”
A mercenary is like a two-sided coin.
If you neglect management even a little, you will turn into a thief.
“Still, we pirates have credit!”
“yes yes. Would you like to The pirate ship’s vice-captain is better~”
“mmm!”
If the mercenaries heard this, they would be terrified.
They are also people who live on credit.
“ruler! Then let’s go!! There will be a prize for Joe who finds the most refugees~”
Lian immediately split Joe and sent him down the fort.
Whoaaa!!!
Everyone ran like crazy at the sound of prize money.
“I don’t know if there will be an accident or not.”
“You have to set an example. for the future.”
Unlike other nobles, plunder would be forbidden in Lian’s wars of conquest.
In order to conquer the Yul Continent, you have to squeeze the resources of the conquered land, and plunder may be beneficial in the short term, but it is the worst option in the long term.
“They are the ones who will be the vanguard of my army.”
* * *
Refugees were gathered not far from the fort.
They were very tired from leaving the village in a hurry.
“that… High lord’s child?!”
“I guess that’s right… You said you were in the fortress, so are you going back to the capital?”
“what. Our mano fortress is notorious… You’re not even worth watching the battle.”
Even though they saw Count Rudeac fleeing, the refugees were not shaken.
Sooner or later they will win. He said that he would adequately compensate for the damage he suffered while evacuating.
“Would you really reward me for that?”
“Don’t expect anything. It’s just enough to survive the spring hardship period.”
Few people believed the lord’s words directly.
Compared to the surrounding territories, exploitation is more severe.
“Huh?! Where else is that soldier?!”
“I don’t know. It looks like he’ll give us a mobilization order… … .”
Soldiers did not wear uniforms with the same pattern.
It wasn’t even a war between big countries. I just put a moderately recognizable mark on my arm or forehead.
“I… enemy!! That’s the mark of the Countess of Leon!”
It was only when I got close that I recognized the soldiers with red cloth wrapped around their forearms.
“do… Should I run away?”
“It’s a small number… fighting is… … .”
“Who will fight?”
The number of refugees was much greater, but the proportion of men was not so great.
Still, if you add up that small percentage of men, there are more of them than the approaching Count Leon.
“They have weapons!”
“I can see horsemanship too!!”
People started agitated.
There were also those who were preparing to run away if necessary.
However, it was not possible to run away immediately.
If caught running away, you might be brutally killed as an example.
“Everybody stop!! We have no remorse to harm you!”
One of the counts of Leon shouted.
Unlike the members of the common people, he had a sturdy physique and a stern face.
His tone of voice was also rough, which made him use it for pirates.
“Is there a refugee representative here?!”
The man with the horse gun shouted.
“my… I’m in charge of the refugees here. I am the mayor of the city of Zeratul.”
An old man stepped forward.
Although he was an aristocrat, he was with the refugees because he had strong tendencies as a pastoralist.
Naturally, the residents of the surrounding small and medium-sized villages also followed him. Naturally, he became the leader of this large group.
“I am Agent 114!”
A man who looked like a pirate with a horse gun on his back shouted.
“114… What is it?”
“me… I do not know either. our captain. No, it was a temporary position given by Count Leon. ask anything! They answer everything.”
The mayor of Zeratul also looked dumbfounded for a while, but he was in front of the conqueror.
Seeing Count Rudeac flee earlier, the infamous Mano Fortress must have fallen.
‘There is no hope for Count Rudeac anymore.’
I went all-in on the Mano Fortress.
There must have been quite a lot of troops gathered, but I lost.
Of course, if the troops guarding every corner of the mountain ranges forming the basin were gathered again, the capital’s palace might be defended for a while.
“Did you come for procurement (plunder)? They are the ones who did not have much because they suddenly went to the evacuation route. Please have mercy. If you wait a little bit, we will collect all the things we have.”
Mostly only poor commoners gathered here.
All wealthy people with money headed to the capital of Count Rudeac.
Even in the capital, those with money will accept it.
“What is looting? our captain. No, what do you look at the Count? Are you sure you don’t have enough food?”
“I left in a hurry… It would be a lie if it wasn’t enough.”
Zeratul’s mayor sighed heavily.
I thought maybe the 114 agent in front of me might take away the food even if I stop talking.
“good night! I will give you jobs and food.”
“Yeah~?! What do you mean?”
“Of course it is not free. Bread and soup will be distributed only to those who carry a basket of soil or stones from the place designated by our count.”
At the words of the 114 agent, the refugees started to stir.
“that… Is that true?!”
There were many who did not even have enough food.
No, even if I took care of it, it was not enough.
Spring is when food is scarce.
“Our cute Count is not a kid who will tell lies!!”
“yes? that… Is that so?!”
The pirate’s tone was a bit odd.
“So praise!!”
However, I can’t say anything because the tone is so rough.
Wow!! Long live Count Leon!!!
In the end, I had no choice but to praise him as he ordered.
Of course, there were also those who were genuinely happy.
He is in a situation where he only eats grass porridge every day.
“Come on, let’s go!! Follow me~!”
Under the guidance of 114 agents, refugees began to follow.
* * *
Snug! Sseussak!! thud! Passasa.
Large groups of refugees began to gather in various places.
Then they dug the ground, cut down trees, and moved the soil.
The number reached tens of thousands.
“If they even try… It’s terrible.”
The vice-captain who watched it made a frightened face.
“Most of them are powerless people.”
The young men were taken out to the Ludeac capital and scattered throughout the mountains.
It was to keep an eye on Count Leon’s soldiers crossing the mountain range just in case.
“Great. Even if their fathers and sons were in the fort, they would have suffered quite a bit.”
“It’s because I trusted the fortress too much.”
No matter how weak and powerless the people were, tens of thousands of people gathered, so it was easy to make a way for the floating ship to pass.
“mister!! Give me some bread too!!”
Even young children moved a little with their fern-like hands.
It looked like child exploitation, but there was a child who did the most labor exploitation himself.
“Give it to me.”
“ship… Count!!”
The refugees were startled by Lian’s appearance and fell to the ground.
It is not their own lord, but the lord of the conquerors.
Even if it’s just eye contact, depending on his mood, his throat could be cut off.
“Everyone stand up. If you look at me from now on, you don’t have to kneel. I will not let my people fall to their knees. Even if it is me!”
Everyone was dumbfounded by Lian’s cry.
“Sooner or later you will enter my fence. Now, raise your head and see!”
Ryan rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his arms. OK.
Swoop!!
Seina, who was next to her, cut her arm with a dagger.
flash!!
I asked the war god about this land.
Of course, the result is blue.
-God of War Tangle’s protection!!
There were people who knew among the common people.
Anecdotes about the god of war are spread all over the Yul continent.
It was also a way for many nobles in the past to prove their legitimacy.
“This was the land of my ancestors. I’m sorry I left you all this time.”
Ryan lowered his head slightly.
Aristocrats bow to commoners? It is impossible.
Surprised, the refugees fell flat on the ground again.
I did not dare to stand and receive Lian’s greeting.
“Wake up. my people Didn’t I tell you! From now on, I will make sure that no one kneels recklessly.”
Lian lifted the child who was just about to receive the bread.
aaa!!!
Only then did the people understand Lian’s sincerity and stood up and cheered.
“Long live Count Leon!! Long live our lord!!!”
They were easily agitated because they were already under the influence of the divine protection given to Lian.
Actually, there was a little trick hidden in this.
Perhaps, if Lord Rudeac performed the same ceremony in Count Leon, similar results would have been obtained.
Unless it was the lord of a completely different area, there was no influence on the nearby manor.
“I will come after slaying my wicked Count Rudeac! So you may go back to the village. Before that, if you wait a little bit here, the food ship will come, so take it.”
The request has been placed at the top of the backsucking.
They will eagerly load various materials into the flotation.
Of course, the chancellor is directly in charge of supplies.
Before long, a large amount of food will come here.
aaa!!!
Refugees cheered. towards their new ruler, who sails away on a floating boat.
* * *
Lord Rudeac had a complicated mind.
‘How did he… … .’
Did they infiltrate the Mano Fortress? Or rather, did he know how to operate traps secretly handed down from generation to generation in his family?
“Princess!! people. Has anyone been sent?”
“That’s right. Count. I sent a messenger riding an auto horse to the prince!”
“okay. We only have to hold out until His intercession order arrives. Troops!”
“Enough. Fortunately, there are only a handful of conscripts put into Mano Fortress.”
Is it fortunate in misfortune?
In order to induce the enemy into the fortress, there was a prerequisite, to prevent the enemy from entering beyond the mountain range.
A lot of people have been mobilized for that.
“good!! military officer!!”
“yes. Count.”
“I only believe in you.”
“Please leave it to me. dismissal!!”
He said so, but the military officer’s stomach was boiling.
That’s why I usually only believed in the fortress and didn’t use it much.
The budget is also small compared to other counties.
‘I’ll show my skills this time and be recognized.’
The fort is now known to be useless, so when this war is over, you will believe in yourself.
* * *
The king’s palace was busy.
The secretaries took off their high heels, which they usually wore to show off their legs, and ran around.
“sh*t!! Why the hell are they f*cking?!”
“Prince Gong. Calm down.”
“Does it look real?! What are you doing in the Thrang Empire?”
“First of all, Count Marman is also a subject of the Thrang Empire.”
Count Maman is making a land war with Count Fougeh’s family.
The problem is that Count Marman was a vassal of the Duke of Norman… The Norman Prince was also the King of Ingleson Kingdom.
Things are a bit complicated.
Norman belonged to the Kingdom of Ingleson and at the same time belonged to the Serang Empire.
Because he was paying taxes to the Serang Empire.
“My these!! Gather an army.”
“Fix it. If you don’t do it, things will get bigger internationally.”
The King was suffering from a very headache.
The state of not being able to do this and not be able to do that.
“majesty!! His Highness the King!!”
“no. what else is going on?”
“An urgent letter from the Count Rudeac family… … .”
“ah! I had that problem too.”
