Civilization Game

High Risk, High Return

Gawain leads his own troops to a village a little distance from Baldhorn. It was built by Humans who gathered in the mountain valley to escape the Demibeasts. It didn't seem to have influenced the Liberty Revolution yet, and it was a town devoted to the Kasar army's rule.

Gawain summons the villagers and opens his mouth.

“We've received reports of a traitor in this town. ”

The villagers murmur with anxious faces.

“I need to investigate. Please cooperate. If you're acquitted, that's fine. ”

For example, the soldiers pushed the villagers into one place, such as the warehouse and town hall. Gawain, who is still staring at him, clenches his lips as if he couldn't stand it. He turns around and asks.

“... Are you sure you want to do this? ”

“It's the king's order, General. ”

The supervisor standing behind replies coldly.

“... Please reconsider. Why would the villagers be guilty? Robbing this place won't be enough if you need plenty of food. ”

“That's too bad. If word gets out that the sovereigns are looting civilian food, the Liberty Revolution will have an excuse." It's a neutral force, but you have to kill it when the war is over. ”

“If you're worried about a leak, send it to Baldhorn! It's too much to kill them all! ”

Gawain raises his voice, unable to endure his anger.

“I said the king's name, General. ”

The overseer had no intention of stepping down. Gawain chews his lips and sighs deeply.

“…… Tell me the truth. Do you really need to kill the villagers? ”

“ ……. ”

“His Majesty personally instructed the warden to do this. If he's guilty, he can punish the lawsuit. Why should he be harmed even by those who love him? ”

“You're mistaken, General. ”

The supervisor lowers his head as he speaks. His mouth draws a cruel smile.

“This is purely part of the operation. ”

“ ……! ”

There was a complete contradiction between his expression and his words. Gawain feels a violent boiling feeling.

“May I give you one piece of advice? The general is too thoughtful and self-organized. Let me be clear. You don't have to do that to a soldier. ”

The supervisor turns his back and adds.

“Think of this as your last chance to gain your trust. You're not the only ones in charge here, are you? Hahaha!”

‘…… damn it. ’

Gawain drops his head. That horse hurt. She would have resisted as much if only she was punished and finished, but she was sitting in a position of responsibility. When she becomes obsessed with the crime, it gives her room to be purged of the others who followed her. What happened to Arc when he retreated from all positions and returned home? Such things must never be avoided.

It got dark.

The last villagers who went out to dig for herbs came back. You can't just chase them and run away, so Gawain's soldiers are hiding in the village and waiting for you. The last villagers were mothers, young women and young daughters.

“Oh my God, what's going on? Soldiers in town... ”

The woman asked with surprised eyes. She hides behind her and watches the lowly with her watchful eyes.

“What took you so long? Do you have any idea how long it's been delayed? ”

“Yes?”

The soldier approaches with an annoying face and grabs her arm tightly.

“Hurry up and listen... ”

“What is this disrespect? ”

As the soldier looks back, the cheekbones in silver armor stand still. The soldier looks surprised and leaves like he's on the run.

“Forgive my rudeness, ma'am. ”

Gawain bows his head deeply. The woman said she didn't need to apologize.

“Is it okay for a mother to go into the forest so late at night when it's almost night? What about your husband?"

“I couldn't beat the disease……. ”

Gawain winces at you.

“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked. ”

“No problem, Knight. ”

She was a good person. Even the hard life of raising a young daughter alone was full of kindness and kindness. She softly asked the scared daughter, smiling brightly as she thought she'd lost her husband, and told a story about Dorado to a stranger.

Gawain fell in love with the story without my knowledge. I suddenly remembered my hometown in a frugal, rustic valley town. However, on the other hand, I was uncomfortable.

‘I wasn't talking to him. ’

Suddenly Gawain regrets it. That smiling face will be charred ashes by the end of the night. What the hell were you thinking? Guilt messed with my head.

“Then……. ”

“Go inside.”

She follows the soldiers away. At that moment, her daughter reaches out to Gawain with a strawberry.

“Is this for me? ”

She nods shyly.

“Thank you."

Gawain accepts the tremor as he desperately refrains from it. The girl followed behind her mother, waving her hands. Gawain waved. The girl smiled.

“ ……. ”

Gawain stands tall and stares at the deformed raspberries.

*

Late night.

Soldiers with torches converge in the town hall as directed by the Overseer. Everyone's expression was a little stiff as they were about to do something big.

“I assume all the doors to the building are locked? ”

“Yes!”

“All right, now light a fire. Anyone who jumps out can be killed. Not a single one of you should leave this town. ”

“Yes, I understand! ”

It was a moment when the soldiers were about to scatter.

“Stop.”

The cold voice echoes, freezing the movements of all the soldiers.

“Stay where you are. ”

Gawain appears in the dark. The supervisor frowns and shouts.

“…… What are you doing? General!”

“I've given it a lot of thought. ”

Gawain raises his head and confronts the overseer. After a short fight, she loses her luck again.

“I don't think this is right. ”

“…… Are you going to rebel against His Majesty? ”

“Supervisor, war is but a means. ”

Gawain continues to speak with a solemn expression.

“When there is a desire between non-conflicting people, we use the means of war to force the will of others. But what about now? I'm willing to sacrifice the lives of other innocent people to win the war. War is merely a means, not a means to war itself. Never.”

The supervisor who was listening silently said as if to shoot.

“Didn't I tell you? The general thinks too much. We must swing by the Black Lord's will. What if he tries to move on his own? ”

Gawain's silence is silent, and the overseer sighs.

“General, do as you're told. ”

“I can't do that. ”

“This is the last recommendation. Follow the king's orders, General. ”

“I can't do that. ”

His mouth was ridiculed.

“…… I can't help it. ”

Grrr! The foreman draws his sword from his waist and points it at him.

“This man is a traitor. Arrest him immediately!”

“ ……! ”

The soldiers' eyes widen in a rapidly changing situation. The supervisor shouts again.

“What are you guys doing? Arrest the traitors now! ”

“ ……. ”

The soldiers turn to Gawain and the overseer, not knowing what to do. That's when Gawain made his move.

“Let's do that. ”

Kneel. She drops her waist sword to the ground.

“General!”

“The overseer's right. The warden who refused the king's order is a sinner. ”

Gawain disarmed himself, and an overseer calling for her arrest. In a volatile situation, the soldiers raise their weapons with trembling arms.

Chuck!

All of those spears point toward the superintendent. With one exception.

“Yikes, yikes, these! Have you gone mad as a group? ”

An angry overseer shouts evil, but the soldiers' reactions darken.

“Why should we arrest our superiors? ”

“There seems to be a misunderstanding. Let's get General Gawain's sword before it's yours. ”

The situation was unusual. Treason! ’No matter how many of these words with absolute influence in Casar society, the soldiers' end did not return.

In the end, the overseer gave up persuasion and climbed on his horse fearlessly.

“Two, we'll see! Kill you all for treason... ”

Uahhhhhh!

The supervisor's neck is neatly split with a blue flash painted on a single day. In the blink of an eye, Gawain will pull out the dropped sword and slash the overseer.

“…… Here, General! ”

“I, Gawain, beheaded the royal officials. ”

She drops her sword back on the ground.

“Listen up, everyone! There is only one warden who has committed treason. Now you take the small intestine and give it to the king. Then your lives and your families can be saved. I will be able to live as one of Caesar's men without being wronged by the warden anymore! ”

“…… Here, General! ”

“Come on!"

She screams. The deputies and soldiers approach her, noticing each other.

“I can't do that. ”

Then, one knee at a time. Gawain's pupils are badly shaken.

“We are all outmoded in the age of the Arc in pursuit of the Knights' Dory. Without the General, they'd all be dead. ”

“That's right! I'll give my life for the General once and for all! ”

“…… General! ”

After hearing the news, Gawain's manager approaches and kneels before her.

“… even you. ”

“Arc has broken the virtuous spirit of knights for centuries under the name 'reform’. That's it? We're forcing unreasonable orders on knights we deem unreliable. The king's doubts and unbelief are not counted even by the knights who were killed because they could not be defeated. The General's intentions are not wrong. ”

From the director, he shouted aloud to the other chiefs of succession.

“The only real knight left in Casar is the general! ”

“Let us join you in the final journey of legend! ”

“General!”

Gawain's shoulders narrow. The other soldiers spill words out of their minds at Gawain's expense, and every time a shout is heard. Knights, soldiers, comrades who fought together for decades. She glanced at one of the faces, turning her neck and looking up at the night sky.

“…… The warden must be getting old, too. ”

Her fist was clenched as she looked at the night sky.
