Episode 55. How to run a barbarian city (2)
Let’s think positively.
Barbarians are a fighting people. They were able to quickly conquer Symphonia due to the high proportion of warrior occupations and their high level.
What is it like not being able to run a territory? It’s okay now that I’ve been declared a territory.
Now that the number of civilized people has increased as much as that of barbarians, it will only get better.
Battles can be done by barbarians, and rebuilding civilization can be done by civilized people. It is a kind of division of labor.
– Thank you for your hard work. Administrator Rachel.
First, he praised Rachel’s efforts to make the territory into a territory for a week.
If I just call it like this, they will notice. The ‘temporary’ name was removed.
Rachel slightly raised the corners of her mouth elegantly and bowed her head.
“It is an honor. As a follower of Loa and an administrator of Symphonia, I will carry out my mission.”
– Excellent.
Rachel left the altar. She’s a friend who still has a lot of work to do, so you shouldn’t hold on to her for long.
“It’s a bit strange to say it now, but isn’t it too much authority given to civilized people?”
Harry asked cautiously. What. He himself is a civilized person.
– It doesn’t matter. They are all my believers.
I understand Harry’s concerns.
It’s like giving powerful power to the representative of refugees whose number is similar to the population of their country.
If this were the 21st century Earth, there would be a lot of division, and if we make a mistake, a rebellion could break out.
But this is neither the 21st century nor Earth.
A world where God exists and is facing a demonic apocalypse.
I am a being who transcends laws, ethics, and political interests in that world, and I am the only savior who can end this apocalypse.
Can a ‘civilized’ person of power be created who has the capacity and followers to confront the only god who has come down to earth?
It may be difficult, but let’s say it’s made.
Rachel, who has gained the support of both civilized and barbarian people and has become a ‘super powerful person,’ is attacking me?
What are you going to do if you attack me? Are you going to destroy the totem?
In the first place, it was a cut along the lines of ‘Lake Punch’.
Still, it would be a wise choice to prepare for emergencies.
– However, barbarians cannot just subdue forever. Select a barbarian talent to serve as the administrator’s assistant.
Savage.
At first, I tried not to use it because it contained the word ‘savage’, but the barbarians didn’t care as much about this name as I thought.
Just as Native Americans do not feel much resistance to the incorrect term ‘Indian’ that refers to them, perhaps we have heard it so much that we have now come to naturally accept it.
So I decided to just use the word barbarian.
In the first place, they called themselves ‘nation’ or tribe, so there was no word to unify them other than barbarians.
“I understand.”
Paya, Kanto, and Muri, who can be said to be representatives of the barbarian side, nodded.
Lakhe is just standing next to me (Totem No. 1) And looking down at them. This woman has no awareness that she represents a barbarian.
Strictly speaking, Lakhe is a mixed race of Loa and civilized people.
Isn’t the position of chieftain held by the strongest person, not because there is a sense of responsibility or belonging, but because it is a crisis?
In the first place, Lakhe cared more about the title of ‘Malak’s guardian’ than the title of ‘Chief of the Brown Rock Tribe’.
‘Lakeda, the guardian of Loa Malak.’
Now he introduces himself like this.
Strictly speaking, this is also a ‘totem guardian.’
Write.
It’s annoying, so let’s move on.
Anyway, if we appoint a clever savage as Rachel’s assistant, we can prevent the worst situation that might happen.
In order not to fall behind the civilized people who dominated the world before its destruction, barbarians must eventually learn civilization.
It would be nice if it mixes well without being divided.
– Do you have any other business?
“We will subdue all the villages in Symphonia within today!”
Kanto shouted confidently.
Now, if we go on one more raid, all the land in Symphonia will be ours.
– That’s all for today.
The leadership gathered in front of the altar was dispersed.
– Lakhe.
“I understand.”
Use the solidarity totem to move to totem No. 3 Held by Lakhe.
“Can we go to a nearby village?”
– That’s right.
I am now going to help with farming.

Shouldn’t we test our newly acquired blessings?
***
Lakhe and I arrived at a village near the city. It is a ‘wheat field village’.
As it is difficult to farm within the city, this land was newly expanded following Rachel’s suggestion to secure a nearby village.
It is said that before the destruction, it was a village where the lord sent soldiers to manage it, and as the name of the village suggests, there is a very large wheat field.
Although it was a mess because the devil and his cultists didn’t take good care of it, they said the land itself wasn’t dead and could be used again if done well.
“Guardian! “Please come in!”
A civilized young man standing guard at the fence surrounding the village guided us.
This is my friend who served as interpreter today.
“This way!”
A wheat field, the first I had seen since coming to this world, spread out before me.
There was no special inspiration. The field is there, right?
“You have to pull out all the weeds first! Hey, look! Can’t you see the weeds? “I’m hiding!”
“Bachelor! “That’s not how you sow seeds!”
“Oh my, if I plant it like that, it will be used!”
“Look at the gap! “One of the middle people will go in!”
Civilized people who had been engaged in agriculture for more than 20 years were in overall command and were working hard to lead the people.
“If you do just one thing, you will become a civilized person! Two will protect the barbarians! Start!”
“One!”
“Create a civilized person!”
“Two!”
“We protect the barbarians!”
What those people just shouted is a propaganda slogan that Rachel came up with.
I said that in order to make civilized people work harder, you need to give them a sense of duty, a sense of mission, and a sense of pride, and that this can be easily given through slogans.
I think it is a groundbreaking idea.
Aren’t civilized people sweating hard as if they were working on their own land?
Someone once said that ‘the way to make people work passionately’ is to ‘give them a sense of ownership.’
This is something that is often said in companies that pay a meager salary while requiring people to work even overtime, but I don’t think it’s entirely wrong.
I waited until they sowed all the seeds.
“Guardian, it is finished! Now if you go this way… “
“Don’t block the road, get out of the way.”
hehehe, Lake pushed the civilized young man who was approaching with a smile.
I guess she didn’t even want my body to touch her, so she lightly tapped my shoulder with the tip of her finger.
“Ugh!”
The young man bounces away as if he had been hit by some kind of storm.
I can feel the difference in power.
“What are they doing! “Keep working!”
The civilized people at work glance at Lakhe while listening to the farmer’s shouting.
It doesn’t have a striking appearance. If Lakhe didn’t have the eyes of a beast and the disciplined body of a man, he might have received proposals all day long.
Since it has the title of God’s Guardian, wouldn’t it be seen as a very high and sacred being to them?

“…”
Lakhe glared at the men who were staring at him in fascination.
“Gasp!”
He immediately bows his head. How scary was he glaring at me?
“Malak came personally to help you with your menial task.”
After finishing suppressing the momentum, Lakhe raised Totem No. 3.
The civilized young man who followed began to interpret.
“That… Malak?”
“Isn’t it just an ordinary wooden statue? Giving off light?”
“You idiot, how can it be an ordinary statue when it emits light?”
“That is called a totem, and God is looking at us through that statue.”
Unlike the crazy and passionate reactions of the barbarians I had encountered so far, the reactions of civilized people were generally lukewarm.
Well, it’s probably because I haven’t shown them much yet.
“Malak… “
Civilized people who roughly understand the situation kneel in front of Totem No. 3 And put their hands together.
Still, you are good at praying.
The prayer time of about 5 minutes has ended.
“Is everything going well?”
“I’ve finished organizing everything. Sowing is finished. “It’s just a matter of time.”
A middle-aged man who appeared to be the leader of the farmers answered Lakhe’s question.
He is a man who looks like he would be good at managing workers at a construction site. He’s such a hard worker.
“Malak will solve that problem.”
“Well, Guardian, you may not know this, but farming is not easy. Of course, it’s worse than war, but it has its own difficulties… “
‘The power of the rain god’ was used on the wheat field.
Blue energy surrounds the wheat field, and white powder falls from the air.
… The wheat is growing fast.
What kind of medicine did they take to make it grow so fast?
“Wow, wow! “What is this!”
The farmer foreman’s eyes pop out as he answers with a smile.
Is this blessing effective?
“Seeds, seeds?!”
“It’s a ferry job… “
It was a time when I was enjoying the surprised reactions of farmers.
[Kanto’s blessing, ‘Berserker energy’ blooms into ‘Berserker soul’!]
What is this?
