Dungeon Defense (WN)

We are Baron Bercy of Lauren. One of them entered Pometra Village.

“Give these to the soldiers. ”

Baron Bercy welcomed us sincerely. He was not a false-mouthed folk. Baron carefully handed over the bill of lodging, which was a free pass.

If the soldier went to the house as written in the order, the landlord had to put the soldier to sleep overnight without words. It was an obligation for the peasants of this age to be taken for granted by the lord. This is how they resolved their stay, whether in their own country or foreign forces.

However, as with all obligations, accommodation was never an obligation.

An outsider comes into the house where his wife and daughter are staying. This is so stressful. I have to feed and put the mean soldier to sleep for free, so there's no complaint. Besides, most of us are Dwarves or Elves...... strangers to the villagers. Obeying the lord's orders will fill you with complaints.

But rest assured, mercenaries and assassins.

I pulled my pocket out of my arms and told Baron Bressie.

“Excuse me, baron junior. Are there enough Silver Coins and Fairy Tales? ”

“Hmm? I'm sorry. I didn't understand the question Ask me again."

“A hundred Libras. If you exchange it for a fairytale, I'll give it to my pilgrimage escorts. ”

Baron Bressie writes out the Accommodation Order and stops.

“…… a hundred Libras? Wait a minute. There's no fairy tale to trade for that kind of money. ”

“Replace the rest if not exchanged properly. Wheat flour is good, some meat is good, and vegetables are good. It's better for the villagers to carry stew than to go empty-handed. ”

I gave the money to the baron's servant. The caller opens his pocket.

“Huff.”

A mid-twenties employee trembles. He nods at his master.

“I don't know exactly what a hundred Librelines are…… but there are tons of Doubloons. I've never seen so much hardening, state. ”

“Hmm."

Baron Breshi's expression changed. My face was frowning because I couldn't check my pockets because of my face.

Yes, the story is completely different if you pay for it, not for free. Baron Breshi had been looking at the customer until now, but he turned into a fake's eyes, holding the wand. If only a wand was handed over a hundred gold for a night, what would it be?

“Servant, take your twelve young villagers and run to the White Dot immediately. I give permission to take two wagons. Get a sack of flour, meat, and vegetables as soon as you can. I'll give you half a day. ”

“Bar, half day? ”

The White Dot refers to the capital of the territory controlled by the Earl. Probably the largest town or city in the vicinity.

“Sir, I think that's a bit.... ”

“I'll lend you my personal horses. Say you're dead if you get hurt. ”

“Huff! I'll take my orders! ”

The servant ran scared. Luckily for him, he didn't have to go around the houses and recruit every soldier. There are still about forty soldiers in the town square. Soldiers are coming this way because he yells something in the square! and shouted in unison.

“You misjudged me. They weren't uninvited, they were lucky. Forgive me. ”

Baron Bercy changed his mind. He wrote a word of respect to me that looked much younger than himself. I thought this was not the usual priest of the temple. Even so, you changed your tone without even touching your eyebrows... The nerve cord was unusual.

I grinned.

“I had blue blood early, but I was already gone. The one who volunteered to stand under the goddess, should come in a lower position than anyone else in the world. Please keep your words down. ”

“If that's convenient for you. ”

Oh, look at this. I turned my attitude back to normal. Blue blood meant noble blood. Even though I told you I was born noble, I was lost. I liked him more and more.

Baron Bercy's face, clearly handsome in his youth, had a solid corner like a tall tree that grew up wisely through the wind waves in its own way. I had a hundred gold coins in front of me, but I was already relaxed.

Even though he pretended to be poor, Prince June looked poor. Even so, is the Lord Noble a Lord Noble? The man's skin was naturally surrounded by stability and majesty. I don't know, but the history of the family must be long ago. He wasn't a lightning born nobleman.

Soft air flows between Baron Joon's men and this side. Money was also a tool to oil people anytime, anywhere.

“Did you say double-edged axe mercenaries? Very gentlemanly.”

“We're not mercenaries. I'm just a pilgrim wandering around for a goddess. ”

“Of course. I've done enough. ”

We sat in the corner of the square and we talked about things.

It was noon. It was better to have sunshine alone because it was cold in the house. The large wooden table sits on the side of the square, surrounded by the lord's clan and our chief.

“My body must have hardened coming from afar. I hope you enjoy it. ”

People flew soup to the cauldron. The soup was thick, whether it had just boiled. No white bread, but soft enough bread piles up like a barren hill. Our group crazily scatters the soup and bread. I put honey in it and turned to warm wine. It was a feast.

The town fair was not the time.

Baron Bercy provided free bread and soup for the villagers as well as for us. The elderly and children in the house were gathering in the square. The young men took off their armor, gave and received beer, chattering.

“Drink! Drink! Drink!"

“Hahaha! I'll show you the majesty of my green bearded Dwarves! ”

There was no better place for foreigners to blend in than the festival. The mercenaries soon melted into the villagers. In a loud voice, a toast was held and the competition was about who was the best speaker. Dwarves fled the battle, but never died in a drunken fight. Under the warm winter sun, the town's air rises.

“Thank you. I had a good winter. ”

Baron Bercy sips wine. I felt a little sober because of the drink. A bitter aura came out.

“Our territory is small but plentiful. In the last two hundred years, no family has changed. We stockpiled enough food to withstand the famine. Nevertheless, I couldn't stop Asaza from happening.... ”

“Times are tough. ”

I took heed. As a priest, when I raised my mind, the people at the table mimicked me. I felt like I was in charge.

Huh? This is surprisingly fun. I will often use it in the future. Even priests aren't boring jobs.

“I tried my best to stop the damage, but only seven people died in this town. Together with those who died of the plague this year, I ran twenty-three people. Can you believe it? Twenty-three people died in one year. I didn't die like this in the last battle. Ahh. This much... ”

Baron Bercy shakes his head lightly. The fatigue in his golden hair seems to have spread in the air.

I worry about the territory and try to prevent damage. I suffer with all my heart for the damage I have to do. Even at the risk of political pressure, you try to prevent our group from entering the village.

However, the village's assets were the property of Bercy, the Lord's Noble. It must be the lord's duty to do everything in his power to protect his assets. Baron Bercy was no less excellent at defending himself.

There are so many people in the world who can't even keep their true nature.

“To be honest, the town was in a bad mood.... ”

“Begging your pardon. Last battle?" Was there a war nearby? ”

From what Baron Joon said, it wasn't a battle that happened before. If there has been a recent battle, the Republicans may have collided with the Royal Party. I couldn't let it go easily. However, the story of Baron was much more realistic.

“Ah. The bandits stand up nearby. Just four months ago. ”

“Thief……. ”

“Twenty bandits, according to an early reconnaissance. I was going to subdue the other lords nearby. But when I went into combat, not 20, but fifty. Can you imagine? There were over fifty bandits in this tiny region. ”

Baron Bercy presses his finger against his glabella.

“I later found out that the peasants who escaped from the village were also involved with the gunmen. Damn neighborhood guys don't take care of their territory. I'd rather be a thief than endure hunger. ”

Baron Bercy's words get louder for the first time. Perhaps the only decent lord in the vicinity was Baron Joon. But in my view, I felt excessive.

Prince Joonnam led the Imperial Road. It was a little tuck in Frank Commerce's teat. The accommodation fees the merchants paid while staying in the village were already able to accumulate wealth in a different dimension from other territories.

Few such fortunate territories...... could stand the one-to-one punch of plague and famine. Baron's criticism was a bit unreasonable. Well, even if I understand the position of the Baron, who lost precious territory to a ridiculous band of bandits.

“Things are similar everywhere. The cursed Moon Blind Force has caused many warlords to fall. Pestilence, famine, and the Great War are the only things I hear nowadays. ”

Oh, that's what I did. Sorry about that.

Wine is delicious, by the way. Hmm. Lots of honey, but the flavor was deep. Excellent...... Is there a good vineyard around here? I'll buy some later. The wine in Habsburg is like all the rest of the vinegar, so it's not something you can put your mouth on.

I don't even want the 505-year-old Balerignon I gave to Barbatos, so at least I have enough wine to drink without getting watered...... I'm the Demon King, so I don't need sleep or food. I just need some wine to cheer my tongue up. Hmm. Excellent. It's good to drink again....

Jeremy smiles with a single smile next to him. She was able to see through all of the Moon Blind's message. He was anxious to tell Prince Joon that he was the one who plotted the cursed lunar army.

Shut up, Jeremy. Even Baron Joon won't be happy to hear that. There are manners in the world. At this time, it is truly for the other person to pass away. You need to learn to care. Follow my example.

The baron raised his voice without realizing that there was a look between the two of us.

“But the High One says it's civil war now. That's a damn sound. Do you understand why I said it had nothing to do with the Royalists or the Republicans? ”

“Of course.”

Yes, I understand very well that most of the territories, other than here, are about to explode. I will continue to work as the 71st Demon King.

Soaking my esophagus with wine, I smiled softly.
