Civilization Game

Here, Martin may deny some facts. However, the support of the audience has already leaned firmly towards the road, and the audience who has seen Martin's footage of great impact will never be able to erase their suspicion. No matter how Martin got out, Lord was confident.

"... Hehehehe."

Martin smiles meaninglessly.

The old judge insisted as soon as the answer did not return, no matter how long you waited.

"Godfather Martin. Deny it!"

"……"

"Can't you hear me? Objection……."

With blooming frenzy, Martin's gaze shifts.

Taang!

"……!"

The gunfire echoes through the square, and the judge is struck down by a magic bullet. Surprised screams of the crowd pop out.

"The old man's squeaking, squeaking."

Martin mutters as he lowers his musket.

"The trial...... Is this Satan because he's doing something that doesn't suit him."

Kuku ku ku ku ku ku ku!

'Here I am.'

Martin's unique ability was expressed. Rod trembles at the sheer tension. The feeling of terror creeping into his head made Martin's vision twice or three times bigger.

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

The impact was on the judges, the clans, and even the surrounding audiences.

'What a range of unique abilities……!'

Lord looks at Martin, who swallowed his saliva and revealed his true colors. Standing alone in front of a monstrous living creature takes great courage.

He would, and now Martin has been constantly repeating his horrific imagination of strangling himself in Lord's head.

"Very good, Lord Polentia."

Finally, Martin opens his mouth.

"I admit. As you said, I've teamed up with Caesar."

Lord stares at Martin calmly. It seemed like there was still room for conversation.

"... I'm embarrassed to admit it so easily. Why? You were already the pinnacle of this country. Isn't there a reason you're working with a foreigner?"

"Hehe, I hope you don't take yourself too lightly. The reason we have teamed up with them is not because of power or money."

Shine came from his eyes.

"Everything was to save this country."

"……?"

Rod was curious as he dreaded the cold sweat.

"Think about it, Lord. Our territory is the center of the continent, and the six countries around it are aiming for the land. This land was once abandoned solely because it was impossible to cultivate, but now its status has changed. A transportation hub that allows you to enter anywhere on the continent, and a land with terraced mines. Anyone who dreams of conquering the continent, as well as the six countries around him, wants this land. But what about us? Do you have the strength to defend this land by yourself?"

"Of course. The possibility is……."

"Not at all!"

Martin lost his job.

"This is no time to feel sorry for stopping a small war, Lord! The war against Arogetsu is nothing but a bluff. There will be many wars on the continents ahead, but we are in a position where fighting is inevitable and we have no power to defend ourselves. Do you really think you can defeat the real knights, the wizards, the dead, the fanatics, the ancient beings on the continent with this terrible power? Their military strength is different!"

He turns around and looks around at the audience.

"One day this country will be trampled under the flag of another. Demibeasts are sold to nobles as trinkets."

Martin's eyes turn to Snow. Snow is furious and buries his face in Unibell's arm.

"The gangsters will be driven out of the city by soldiers and starve to death!"

His gaze shifted towards Phoenix.

"All religious believers called heretics are blessed and strangled at the gates of the city! The Illegal Research Society will be disbanded and all funds will be lost!"

A group of dead researchers and The Intelligence Clan Leader flinch.

"The same goes for the rest of the clan. They'll all be slaves and die swinging pickaxes in the mine for the rest of their lives. Then there is only one answer."

Martin's eyes flash.

"Before we are destroyed and deprived of our rights, we must first enter beneath them."

"... Are you saying you want to become a successor?"

"No, as a member of that country, I am completely subordinated. Afterwards, I will live in this city."

"……!"

Lord feels a chill in his arms. I can only guess Martin's intentions now.

"I considered many countries, but I thought Casar was the most qualified. It is a powerful war nation and has no identity system. Everyone under the title of knight is equal. I contacted the king of Casar and asked him to take over the country. Instead, he claimed the municipality of the city."

"…… autonomy? We wouldn't be in such good shape."

Lord dug a hole. However, Martin insisted.

"Of course. Everything comes at a price. In order to claim autonomy, we must buy this city from Casar. Therefore, in order to save the huge amount of money that was demanded by Casar, I committed an act of misdemeanor and accumulated money squeezing people together like a villain. But someone had to do it, and everything was for the greater good. The amount you've targeted is also close to here. This city is now under the protection of Caesar, the outlawed city of extraterritory!"

The crowd began to rumble. Lord gripped his teeth and said.

"…… As long as things go well, this place will no longer be the Abyss we knew, and will no longer be the Underhaim!"

"If so, it's for the best."

Martin says in a thick voice.

"Do you really think that's best? This country was originally owned by us. You're going to scare yourself out of a fight, lay down your place, bring your money and land for foreign protection? Why don't you want to fight with our might? Why are you only trying to establish our limits?"

Martin raised his voice to the roar of Lord.

"Face reality, dreamer! Don't tempt the crowd with the sweet words that hope, future, freedom and we can do the same! We need to acknowledge the impossible and take action right now."

"You are the only one who can convince everyone to surrender in the minds of rotten losers. Freedom created without bloodshed does not exist in this world! It's a fantasy!"

There was a strained struggle without a single concession. The two sharp gazes met in the air. Martin smiles as if it's funny and turns his head.

"Very well, then. It wouldn't be bad to put down your methods for a moment and see the battle in your own way. By the power vested in me, I will summon the Council!"

His gaze shifts to the clans sitting in the seat.

"We don't need a rough process now that we're all here. Decide for yourself. Are you going to find a realistic path now, or are you going to get ready to play war on the provocator's tongue?"

Suddenly, the decision has been passed on to the clans. All of a sudden, the clan members mutter and panic.

I needed someone to control the situation. Eve looks at the judges, but after the Chief Elder was shot, they're busy looking at Martin. She sighs and rises to her feet.

"…… good. We will accept Father Martin's agenda and begin voting for the Abyss Parliament."

Everyone's gaze shifts toward Eve as she makes her remarks.

"The agenda is a major issue for our future in Abyss. The Mafia's representative, Master Martin, has given the remaining 23 clans the right to vote, with the exception of the Mafia Clan. In advance of that, what would you say to each of you?"

Martin opens his mouth with a thick expression.

"All of my opinions were mentioned earlier. Know thyself, face reality, and choose the best way to survive."

"Possibility, future, freedom. And I'm not going to talk about that here."

The sound is raised without the load.

"Believe in yourself and make decisions based on your beliefs."

Lord finished speaking and looked at Eve. Eve nods.

"Very well. You're both done. So let the voting begin. If you agree with His Majesty, please raise your right arm, and if you agree with Father Martin, please keep your arms open."

Now everyone's gaze on the square has turned to the clans. Suddenly, their faces were different when they decided on the fate of the country. Those who are troubled, those who are still terrified, those who see Martin, and those who constantly exchange opinions.

"On the count of three, then."

After giving Eve enough time to think, she opens her mouth.

"One."

Her voice trembles. The crowd looks up at the clans.

"Two."

Unibell closes his eyes with his arms folded, and Phoenix clutches his chin with a smile.

"Three."

And...

Perfectly static wrapped around the square.

"Voting Results."

Eve looks at the clans and declares her head back.

"23: 0."

The atmosphere shivered.

"I declare your opinion to be accepted."

"Waaaahhhhhh!"

A loud shout erupts from all sides, shaking the square.

'Crazy, really.'

Lord takes a deep breath.

It was an unexpected result. Without a single objection, you raise your right hand to Menelaus, a mercenary guild known as the Chin Mafia Force.

I was confident that I had embraced the friendly clans, but I didn't think I could finish. Lord Pic smiles.

'... They're the ones who can't be stopped.'

Martin's opinion was plausible. However, not a single person chose 'stability'.

Martin was also expressing a mute expression. It was completely the opposite of what Eve called for in Congress.

"I'll return what you said to me before. Martin."

Eve looks at him and says coldly.

"This is the reality."

*

"... Hehehehe, hehehehehe!"

Martin blows up the photon shop.

"This is how violent this country has become! I can't believe there's not a single person who's faced the situation calmly in a lie! They say the effort to the people is lonely and empty, but this is indeed a serious condition!"

"Effort towards the people? You were wrong from the start."

Lord said sharply.

"Think about how this country was founded! From the oppression and threats of the exploiters, citizens, slaves, criminals, and livestock gathered together on an abandoned land. And I swore an oath to create a free country that is not oppressed, that is not humbled. But what was your policy all along? I have held on to the survival rights of all citizens and oppressed them with force. But then again, you're forcing them to take control of reality with an excuse, and justifying your misdeeds. Even if you could avoid the destruction of this country in your own way! It will only result in a change in the position of the owner of the exploiter, and there will be no freedom in this land forever!"

Lord pauses and looks around the crowd.

Everyone was paying attention to a single word of Lord. I felt good about the tension in the square. And a perfect sense of control over the once-in-a-lifetime crowd. Lord realized that he had become king here.

Rod looks back at Martin.

"Still don't know why you despise the people and regard them as losers or stragglers? because you've become the new exploiter of this free country. Do not make excuses for reality to bind freedom at will. Every human should be able to fight and fight for freedom!"

At the end of Lord's words, cheer and resilience burst from the crowd. The overwhelming feeling that I felt when I won the war against Arogetsu exploded again and was drawn to the open square.

"... Yes, I like it. What good is it to talk to the beasts a hundred times?"

Martin gives a brutally twisted smile.

"At the end of the day, I'll have to do it my way."

Wow, you've made a bit of a pickle! Thank you. The pilgrims have had a hard time, too!

-------------

the horse's teeth were plucked from this side. All that remains for Martin is his power and his connection to Casar.

We will also think about human life/strategies with various countries in the future. Just because you keep commenting doesn't mean you have to recall. Hmph.

LGB/Well, I think it's natural that these stories from the past were out of context; Tsk; actually looking at the script like LGB is a little strange. I think it's natural to feel a question. Thank you for always comment.

Noist/Yep, thank--!

Master of the job/I wanted to stick my tongue out!

ppk12/Including Martin Shrine in the Secret Book Harem would be too extensive!
