From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

Gaaaah!

The sound that resembles the crow's cry resounded in my ears. It was a Goblin monster.

Puck!

Digo sees it and smashes his head in with a halberd spear. A goblin with a broken head falls to the ground, bleeding green.

“It's hopeless.”

Lind looks at it and mutters. It can be. It was understandable.

Lind's group struggles to get rid of the Goblins for months. I have struggled with poor eating and lack of sleep, feeling that it is not easy.

This was the best for him. If the experience is not supported, it is difficult to deal with monsters.

Half my mercenaries in my past life were monster repellents.

Most of the quests you send to the Three Mercenaries were to defeat the lesser monsters. The quest isn't that big, but it's always one of the many jobs.

Especially in the last few years of my life...

“So if we start a fire, we take care of them, and that's it? How many months would I have to suffer like this? ”

Lynd asked me to stop thinking. I thought his questions were reasonable.

If I came and fixed it, if I was killing monsters that would be over soon, then why did they have to suffer for months?

“No, that's enough. Excellent.”

The lord who once ruled this land built an altar in the basement and offered sacrifices. A psychopath obsessed with cult has created an entrance inside the territory.

That's what I'm looking for. It wasn't just for this body that was a great treasure hunter.

Hidden entrance, a group of Goblins hiding in an underground cave.

The answer was easy. They were afraid of fire, so they took all the oil for the lamp, soaked it in a cloth, found dry branches, and set fire to the entrance to the basement.

I guessed where this tunnel leads and knew I didn't have to deal with a thousand Goblins here.

“Here it comes again. ”

Those near the entrance protrude out of the fire, scorched by fire, wanting to live.

Puck!

It was the axe's turn this time. Immediately after coming out, his axe is plunged vertically from top to bottom and the Goblin's head cracks open.

It was a sharp blow to the skull. That guy definitely improved.

I heard that during the knight's training there are stages of maintaining your Awakening while you are fasting. Minimize sleeping and eating, keep up the good fight, or go into battle.

Normally, I would climb the rugged mountain range without sleeping for two days, and it was three months naturally.

Even the lesser monsters were killed by their swords. Just because it's easy to deal with, it doesn't mean the knife isn't dangerous.

“Well, let's go once we've cleared up the slate. ”

The three of me and I wait for the black smoke to escape from the flames.

Lind notices that her troubles still mean nothing when she sees the day when this is all resolved.

Son of a bitch, you did good.

It was a lot of work, but you won't need an explanation. With a brain the size of Lynd, you'd know it.

“I don't think there are any Goblins. ”

Digo steps forward, his waist constricted and he walks, but his den is not long.

It used to be an altar, but there was a pretty big corridor next to it. There were no traces of any past cult.

It was a simple structure.

However, it didn't make sense to build an enormous underground facility, even though it was a mountain castle.

Even if it were a bit bigger than this, it would have collapsed quickly. There was no particular hobby in architecture, but this was common sense.

“I think this is a natural cave. ”

Lind, who was looking at the connected passageway, said.

“Looks like they all made it out of here. ”

Digo spoke. The axe grabs my nose and looks at me because of the monster's vibrations. In one word, I was ready to chase after him.

“Leave it. ”

Are you really going to chase down 1,000, or are you going to kick them out of here and join the rest of them, and then you're going to chop up four more of them?

Well, I know it's not impossible to roll your head, but why do you have to go through all that trouble?

However, I thought it would be better for the monsters to remain.

“Good.”

I don't think the three of them understood what was good about it.

“Let's stop it here. ”

This passageway doesn't need to be right now. Digo gathers the scattered stones to block the entrance from freezing. With me and the other two helping, the passageway was quickly blocked.

“Where did it go? ”

“Somewhere.”

Lind answered kindly, muttering to herself.

“Razor Mountain. ”

The castle is located at the mouth of Mount Carl, and behind it is a real mountain with two more ridges.

If only there was a natural cave connected.

“Not really.”

Lind mutters. After just one day, you're done with the monsters. It was easy enough for Lind to say it was empty.

Of course, it's easy to say.It's impossible without your understanding of Goblins and understanding the nearby geography.

Once the monsters were gone, we had to make this place a place for people to live.

“What about them? ”

It was a big question, but Lynd answered without a hitch.

“I told you. But I don't know if I'll ever migrate because there are no monsters. ”

Earl Ludwig's triangle policy was great, but with great drawbacks.

You failed to protect the village outside the triangle properly. Especially if we want to restore the village that was on the way down from the invasion this time, it was as hard as making a new one.

You lead them to Lynd and let them stay nearby, because there are people who have lost their place to live.

Thanks to you, I spent most of my savings. I am responsible for refugees not received from David or any other city.

“This land is bad for farming. ”

Lind was a horse. People need to eat to survive. In other words, agriculture was fundamentally possible in order to operate the territory.

François Land is at its worst.

“It's okay.”

Agriculture didn't have to be a major part of it.

* * *

People don't trust people easily.

No matter how many monsters are defeated in Fraunmund territory, who will come to plant roots in that land?

Who would want to live under the threat of life?

There was only one way to bring all those threats.

Sincerity and authenticity. No matter how perfect the act, it was a lie.

And lying is the human heart that must be read.

“I thought you might not come. ”

Lind mutters.

Ten days after we defeated the monsters, we settled around Castle Blade, and I told the people that I had sent Jabrian to deal with the monsters here.

Along with the stories of people who fought monsters here for months.

They didn't know this place was my territory. They were just looking for a place to live.

“The ground is too parched. ”

One of the refugees who saw Lind stepped up and said, He had thick eyebrows and an angled jaw.

“That's what this land is all about. ”

Lind takes his word. It was already a favor I asked before I left for Central Shed.

These were abandoned by Earl Ludwig. Officially, the Earl's territory, people outside of Triangle.

The lambs lost their way to the invasion of Armstrong.

I also received permission from the king to relocate if the erl's people want to, so they could live here if they wanted to.

I mixed up the rumors appropriately. 'There are those who want to take responsibility for those who have been abandoned by the erl.’

I was the one who intended to do this, and I was the one who created this situation, but I wasn't the main character today.

The refugee man looks down at Lind, Digo and the axe.

“I appreciate everything you've done for us. ”

“Ah."

Lind's surprised face raises the man's body. Before I left, I told Lynd why I had to destroy the monsters here.

What are they gonna do?

Shouldn't we save them?

Ludwig the Benevolent will not be held accountable.

No one around here is going to be responsible for them.

The only land they can live on is here, and I said I would get their permission to relocate from the palace.

Basically, Lind, Digo, and the Axe have been fighting to protect. To them, these were the ones they could not turn away from.

These three fought for months to defeat the monsters. My orders were based, but they were completely different from the way they looked.

It was a struggle for the people the erl gave up, for those who no one cared for.

Just the three of them.

No one knew they were Vise users, so they were fighting for their lives.

For refugees, it was a fight for them. There are those with a guilty conscience in front of you who did not come here immediately and help this fight.

“We'll make this a farm. ”

Lind looks back at me with a look that realizes why she's been here for two months.

That's enough to know. It's not about killing monsters. It's about how hard you've worked for them.

It used to be the power to move people.

I walked away from Lynd with a smile. We don't have to call ourselves lords, so let's put that aside.

“What did you do in the previous village? ”

“I built a house, I hunted, I made a chair. ”

Carpenter.

I saw a group of refugees gathered behind him and asked.

“Did anyone else dig up some dirt? ”

An old man who understood the words came out. The old man had a serious face.

“This land cannot be dug up. ”

He was right. Fraunmoont's territory has no farmland.

“Then what should I do……."

“Anybody from the miners? ”

Some raised their hands. Not bad.

Approximately twenty. I was standing in front of 500 territories.

It was not a job to get people's attention. The momentum that spreads when you operate the vice with my appearance made it natural.

I opened my mouth with their gaze.

“We will dig light instead of digging dirt. ”

“Mine?”

“Is there an iron mine here? ”

“There's no such thing. ”

I heard some of them talking. Of course, there are no silver, gold and mana mines here, as well as iron mines.

There's just another mine.

* * *

Immediately after I saw the carpenter taking a nearby tree and starting to build a big house inside the outer wall, I climbed Mount Blade with Lind and Digo, carrying axes.

“That's a tough one. ”

“I need to clear a path to get back and forth. ”

I heard Lind and Digo talking.

Of course. It was not a job to get out of the way. I'm a pass finder. He walks the path, he makes the path.

I don't have to do this alone.

If you take a few hunters from the town and use them, you should be able to make your way fast.

There are only 500 people gathered here.

There are limited things I can do alone to revive a territory. The rest of the work was done by the people gathered here.

“So now I have to, my lord, too. ”

It's a pretty rough trail, but for us tech-trained, this was the trail. Thanks to that, Lind spits out a blatant sound.

“Of course not. ”

Digo got the message. You said you'd serve me in the first place, so you might be just as proud as you are right now.

Look at that face. He can't lie for the rest of his life. But Lynd's different.

He's my best friend.

“Do as you please. If you are..."

“Let's just be lords. I'll try to change my speech slowly. ”

Lind slapped the branch in front of my eyes and blocked my words. Lynd's attitude was understood because he didn't like where he came from.

“This should be it.”

When I looked at the terrain around the great river and spoke, everyone stopped walking.

“What are you digging for? ”

Digo asks with curiosity.

"Gold."

“Gold?”

“I'm going to collect the gray gold. ”

No one understood what I was saying. Lindman thinks of the bear and looks at me.

In the meantime, I've been reading hard and I think I know a lot more.

“Is that, is that here? ”

“I think so.”

It was originally a land owned by Eidmoon, but history had changed. No, I changed it.

So I took over the land that I was playing on.

We walked out and faced a cave. It was wide enough for three human nuts to fit in at once.

Gaaaah!

A group of Goblins nearby found us and jumped at us. And as soon as I saw them, Lind bounced back.

Tinking!

Three speakers, Lind, also improved. I guess I'm the only one in position. I can't say life in the palace is as comfortable as it is in the palace, but you are right to be lazy in training.

Puebuck!

With three arrows in his head, Digo swings across Halberd at the rest of them.

Unh-unh!

Five men explode in a single blow.

“What's this? ”

It's not a fight, it's a slaughter. Maybe this will win you over a thousand real ones?

I don't know. Fighting a battle is something I can't be sure of without trying.

No matter how you roll your head, there are always variables in your calculations.

After you've dealt with the Goblin. I walk into the cave, and the group follows me.

There are traces of the middleman's touch. A vein that has been dug up before and given up on nothing.

Idiots.

It was only a matter of time before I turned on the torch I had prepared.

I stopped walking.

“Ah."

Lind blows a light elastic torch and swings the torch around. The walls, the ceiling, saw a white glow.

“What?”

Digo and Axe still looked like something was up.

“This is the treasure vault. ”

The miner who first sold this place is a jerk. He was blinded.

Puck.

I smashed a part of the wall with my fist. And he said, holding the crumbly gray crumbs in his hand.

“This is the gray gold. ”

Digo picks up a piece. Lind asks you to taste it, and he puts it on.

“... It's salty? ”

This place is a gold mine. However, it's not just gold here. The real treasure of Fraunmoont was salt, and this was a rock salt mine.
