"Country...?

What did you just say?

"Finally, the time has come to fulfill our grief. The goal is the Gong Kingdom. Take away this country with all the forces of the 'venom of the serpent'"

Luxeria's proclamation, which gave her eyes a peek of madness, sparked a vortex of enthusiasm on the spot. At the end of the day, no one came out of the bandits to oppose them, but rather stood idly waiting for them. No one has a toothpick.

But on the other hand, the kids didn't seem to follow. I can't help it. This kind of thing should look horrible to a child who is still young.

"The departure is tomorrow. First, we aim to be within the territory of the Kingdom of Gong and join all the armies. Don't fail to prepare yourselves."

I have nothing more to say or I'm leaving, Luxeria. On the other hand, the bandits, whose excitement did not subside, often left themselves to the emotions and made a great deal of noise.

It's as if we're doing it at a banquet, and it gets noisy in Azit.

I glanced at it and followed Luxeria.

"Wait, Luxeria. What's this all about?

Just the two of us in a narrow passage illuminated by the flashing lights of demonic stone light. Luxeria, standing with her back turned slowly.

"Thank you. Just like I said. We take the country as bandits. That's all."

There was still madness swirling in Luxeria's eyes.

"No. You're going to avenge that country, aren't you?

"Revenge? Oh, well. Did my husband use that informant to find out about me?"

"Oh, yeah. I knew you were Luxeria Alkurdo, Earl of the Gong Kingdom."

Luxeria moved her eyebrows in my interrogation pack.

"The man is already dead. It's just Luxeria here."

"Then stop taking revenge. If you want to do it, don't involve the others. If you do that, you'll fall."

It seemed to me that Luxeria now pushed Sarah to take the blame for dabbling with me. So I stepped up my tone and lined up my words to stop Luxeria.

But Luxeria didn't take my advice and didn't try to stop it.

"My husband is mistaken. I didn't force them to. They agreed to take the country of their own free will."

"But you didn't say the purpose was revenge."

"I said I would take the country. My husband won't know. They really don't want to do things like bandits. that most of them used to live in peace in cities and villages. They are greedy for a place to be. I decided to go take that away from me of my own free will. It's not about revenge."

Question of Luxeria and me not meshing. Me trying to stop revenge, and Luxeria insisting it's not revenge.

I tried to persuade him many times.

But it was a bystander's word because he didn't know the truth. The words of such ignorant could not be echoed, and Luxeria did not try hard to change her opinion.

And 'Snake Poison' moves to take the country.

- The next day.

"Right. Are you going to the Gong Kingdom?"

"Oh, so go ahead and gather the information"

"Cool, got it. Let's meet up over there."

That's what dazzled me, Cecil. Get out of here normally.

I thought about it in the middle of nowhere, and it was when I tried to leave my room behind.

"I forgot to say one thing. Be careful what you do in the Gong Kingdom."

I didn't get that word in my ear. But there was no sign of the Lord of the voice, no sign of it.

I was half angry and half frightened to talk to you normally, but I was thankful and only asked for advice.

That's how I left the desert land behind when autumn came to fruition.

Over the desert, over the mountains, over the country.

Past numerous lands, like the great movement of peoples. I didn't have time to slow down my thoughts on the changing landscape and went south of the continent.

At the end of our journey, which lasted roughly a month and a half, we made our way to the border of the Gong Kingdom.

A group lurking amidst red leaves with autumnal cleavage. That was an untold substitute for the earliest bandits.

Over a thousand large groups. That's what hides in the mountains like a blindfold. Luxeria, who brings together a large group, gathered the leaders of a group that had fallen apart and had some kind of operational meeting.

Finally, their country takeover begins.

Even then, I still couldn't get rid of my strays.

Can I give you a hand in revenge?

I followed you in front of the building to keep an eye on the kids, but are you sure you want to stay like this?

I was still making up my mind.

That was because Luxeria's desire to know her strong will pulled her hair back.

If you look at this fight, you might see that.

In the end, I couldn't make up my mind. With such a half-way feeling, we were to come to the battle.

The moon was a beautiful day that day. The brilliance of the stars is interrupted by the brightness of the moon, lurking the becoming.

That night, a large group in the dark surrounded the guard of the Gong kingdom. Bandits who lurk their breath, kill signs and look at the detention point together to keep quiet nights out of the way.

The moonlight was annoyed by the clouds.

The world sinks into darkness.

"Take it away!"

Just one word. That triggers and a bunch of bandits rush to the barracks.

Suddenly, a large group appeared. In the dark, the soldier on the lookout, who couldn't possibly know what he was, panicked. He slipped out of his hips as if he had even gotten out of the haunt and fled into the lockup.

After a while, his panic passed on to the soldiers and the inside of the barracks was in havoc. In the midst of the mayhem, the gates of the barracks begin to close as if they refuse.

But I have to say that decision was slow.

Bandits flocked to the gate that began to close. I pushed back the door that was about to be shut by force.

The soldiers were desperate, too. I countered him with madness in death, just as if his life were hanging on that door.

But a lot of them are passive. With fewer than 100 soldiers placed at the barracks, it did not come true to turn to the bandits for approaching 2000.

Bandits poured in through the open door, and the soldiers trembled with frightened hips and uncluttered weapons. I don't think he's a very trained soldier. On the contrary, Park is lean, and from his thin, dirty face, he can't even feel the dust of strength.

It was as if they were forcing him to do it, and no one or he was like a soldier. Only fear can be seen in its eyes. There was not a single grain of sand, such as the will to fight for the country.

Meanwhile, the bandits who broke through the gates did not attempt to attack them only by intimidating them. Perhaps because there was never more victory or defeat than there was no longer a need to do it.

In the meantime, Luxeria entered between soldiers and bandits.

"Surrender! If you surrender, let's promise your life will save you!

It took a few seconds for the soldiers to understand Luxeria's words. A few seconds later, I began to hear the sound of throwing weapons away from nowhere.

That was a declaration of de facto surrender.

The soldiers had nothing to show resistance to as one.

The first battle between the Gong kingdom and "Snake Poison" was a distraction, with no casualties on either side of the enemy, not even the severely ill.

Meanwhile, I was badly confused.

Something's wrong...

The confusion became so bad that it crossed the day.

Occupying the post, 'Snake Poison' looked at his next target in a nearby fort.

The decision was the next night across the day.

At the hands of the bandits that Luxeria had forced him to sneak in, the fortification strategy was easily accomplished. The soldiers who draw clams and large groups into the fort, and surrender with clams, just as they did at the barracks.

My confusion grew day by day.

I wonder if there are any decent soldiers in this country.

A week later.

The venom of the snake had a pleasant victory over a pleasant victory. He was taking control of the border and the fortifications near it, and taking over the country little by little, without the Gong kingdom being able to understand his movements.

10% of the kingdom of Gong, which is not as big as it is, was already under the control of the 'venom of the serpent'. "The venom of the serpent", which turns back how he persuaded the surrendered soldiers and increases their forces day by day. The horrible thing is that I was ready in the eyes of the soldiers who turned me over.

Soldiers who are supposed to defend their country decide to be prepared to take their country.

It's a very uncomfortable change of heart.

I am not a part of the Ops meeting, so I don't know how to take the country, but I felt the showdown was close because the atmosphere created by Luxeria was heavy and strong again.

Even before such an imminent showdown, I still could not abandon my stray.

"Damn."

[]/(n, vs) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

The skin of the fist that struck the wall peeled thinly. Thin rashes seep blood from under the peeled skin.

"Cuckoo, you look rough"

"Huh...! Were you there, Cecil?"

I was stiff for a moment not expecting to be seen, but I looked back together when I felt signs of Cecil.

Cecil and I were actually reunited for a month and a half. As if queuing for an idle event, Cecil, who had entered the site earlier, had snuck into the fortress occupied by the 'venom of the serpent' without bitterness.

"I'm a little upset. Never mind."

I was angry. To myself who will never conclude and just be flushed.

I don't know what I want to do myself. I was angry at myself for being so halfway there.

"If it's okay with me, I can talk to you.

Sweet for Cecil's words, who cared that way, I decided to reveal my feelings. It is not necessarily a good thing to hold it alone. This is what she taught me too.

"... What should I do when I don't know my heart? How am I supposed to decide things?

"You seem to be haunting my mind about something I don't understand. You just have to act as you thought. You just have to understand it later."

"You want me to hit the spot? What anxious advice."

I shrugged my shoulders like a wasp, exhaled one deep exhale, and got down to business.

"So? You got something?

"Cuckoo, of course."

Cecil took out one collar and left no sound on the round shaped tree table.

"What's this?

"It's not an exaggeration to say it's all about this country. You should go to the city. Everyone who goes out wears this."

"Why are you doing this? Now it's like..."

- A slave.

My words were a matter of certainty. Cecil laughed spookily, but told him to be somewhere grumpy.

"This country is not decent. Originally the treatment of slaves was terrible, but since the law came into force a year ago, it's only a tragedy that can be described as madness."

"... Specifically?

I had felt in the battle ahead that this country was not decent. Because it was difficult to understand how the soldiers were clearly suffering from marked malnutrition.

When it comes to soldiers, I felt that there was a slight temper to protect the country. But no one made me feel that way.

"It's the fastest way to get to the city. Cool, it's late, but why don't we have a meal in the city to commemorate our contract?"

"I'm sick..."

I felt like the creepy guy was stopping by, and it was me who hurt my mood, but he also said he was concerned about how the city was doing when he closed the explanation like this.

I responded to Cecil's invitation and told Luxeria I would be away for a while, stretching my legs to the city.

It was like a ruin there. I don't think it's very much the capital of this country.

It's filled with a tough smell that makes you want to hold your nose, and there's a shadow of a person in a ruined building.

Slam...... a lifelike sight to say.

There are traces of blood everywhere, and people are falling. People had such vain eyes that they could not tell if they were dead or not.

Everyone was lean, just like the soldiers who were guarding the lock-up, and the terrible were on the verge of starving to death.

Despite such a terrible appearance, pigs were spreading there. Kick a man in the foot who is falling as if dealing with a slave, and strike him with a whip in his hand.

People don't even look at a man with such terrible eyes.

Collar.

Cecil's offered collar was truly a sign of slavery. Everyone but pigs wrapped it around their necks and were treated less than humans.

"I'm telling you to move, this garbage! You're on death row!

What was given to Hugh and a man who still seemed to breathe repeatedly was a capital punishment. I wouldn't even be eating at Locke's either. It would hurt more on the other side of the body to get munched.

Nonetheless, a man who can speak of extreme punishment without any consideration or hesitation is supported and dragged by the slaves around him as if to dispose of the broken goods.

I watched as Cecil strapped me to my feathers.

"Get off me! Cecil!"

"Kuku, is that terrible?

After all, Cecil was hiding her strength. Obviously, in the ordinary man, he held back and retained a force that was difficult to keep capturing.

"Client, calm down. It's obvious in this country. Some people, in other words, people of the nobility category, other than the title holders and their families, are all like this."

"So you're going to miss a miss-miss where people are going to be killed? ⁉ “ I'm kidding!

I wasn't lost then. There was no such thing as sympathy.

It's just that my values didn't try to forgive it.

"Kukuku, have the strays disappeared? Then go."

Cecil loosened her strength. Turn your intriguing gaze at me and laugh creepily.

"Act as you wish. After all the reasons."

I forgot the man I was about to be taken for a moment and saw Cecil.

Ha, I see. This guy was really listening to me.

I revised my assessment of Cecil upwards. The atmosphere and the way he talks are still suspicious, but maybe he's not a bad guy. Rather, it has a crowded heart.

Unlike that pig.

"Damn, while 'things' flair defies humans. I'm good at it. Kill Buhya after torturing him to regret his actions. 8265;"

"That's Temehe. I'll be the one who remembers you. Teme is a pig."

Suddenly my gaze gathered on me when I came to the face of a pig. And people who look at kicked ass pigs and shake their eyes in fear.

"Hey, what are you doing? ⁉ You're on death row! Don't think you can get out of here with your hands up against me, the Viscount.

The pig didn't wear a collar. Looks like he saw me and decided I was a traveler. I emphasised my position as a Viscount, and I was angry when I told him not to kneel.

"Buhibhi, you loud pig."

"Buhiia⁉ə"

He swings a whip and punches an approaching pig with his bare hands.

Cry or call, I didn't stop.

Just thinking about how much of this guy has hurt and killed so many slaves like the other guy, my anger pounded through my body and overflowed. I couldn't forgive this guy for depriving people of their freedom, their dignity with an ugly face.

"Kukuku, client, it's a really refreshing picture, but you have to stop it around there. I'm not aware of that rotten pig anymore."

"Chip."

I tongued like a raw man and threw a pig away in a rampage. I still can't let my anger subside.

But Cecil had no reason to take precedence over his anger.

"If the mind acted as it commanded, it would be the next step. Why 'd you bump that pig?

"Easy."

Oh, it's really easy.

Makes me look stupid about what I was worried about.

I'm an adventurer. Do what you want.

If you don't act as your heart commands, you're just like the slaves tied to this country. You just have to think about it later, both for reasons and responsibilities.

Because I have thoughts, because I have actions.

"Because I don't like it. Couldn't leave you alone."

"Kukuku, so what?

If you decide why, take responsibility next.

"- Crush this country."
