Hero without Blood or Tear

[69] Boiling Abyss. (6)

Wittenbuyer City Council was destroyed overnight. He was originally an incompetent leader. The aftermath of the war in Harfheim has fortunately made it a free city, but it cannot last long because it is worthless.

“These bastards have gone crazy.... ”

Seeing the confiscated Secret Book, the budget was huge. Even if I wasn't specifically framed, I was so corrupt that I could handle it.

“Help me!”

“Please! Have mercy! Lord Balor!”

Right now, in front of me, the mayor and the city councillors were on their knees in a rope. I am authorized by the Citizenship Committee to take over the City Hall. Of course, the only organization that's hollow is made by my command.

“I'll let you live. ”

Those who were anxious about what I said were reflected.

“Oh! Thank you! ”

“May God's blessings be with you! ”

Seeing them sigh of relief, I asked for one thing.

“Kill those who believe in God. ”

Everyone seemed surprised by this sudden request.

“Whoever has faith, let him go to the left, and whoever doesn't, let him go to the right." ”

The faithful were two-thirds, and the faithless were one-third. I sent the infidel to prison. And he smiled at those who believed in God.

“I thank you for your sincere service. The grace of God saved you. ”

Everyone was very happy with what I said. And we thank our personalities in our own way.

“Then come with me to meet the citizens. ”

Then they had a dark look on their faces when they thought about meeting an angry crowd. Everyone insisted that they couldn't admit their sins.

“I don't know how we got through, but it's not true! ”

The market was the loudest of them all. I nodded, looking at him.

“Of course, Mayor. I don't think you're related to the Horsemen either. ”

“Oh! Do you believe me? ”

“Indeed.”

I'm the one who caused the misunderstanding. I should trust your innocence, too.

“I have a part of you to admit. Even the ten mouths on this ledger will be hard to justify. ”

“Khh... ”

When it comes to apparel, the market is silent. I calmed them down.

“I wouldn't say you were in league with the Horsemen. I have to confess this in front of the citizens. Then I will save you. ”

“ ……. ”

They were reluctant. But he was already captured like a pig, so there was no other choice. Eventually, they accepted my request.

“Very well. I will confess our sins, so keep your promise." ”

“Good thinking. I will protect you from my eternal death. ”

"Eternal death," they tilted their heads a little, but did not care much.

“Then let's go see the citizens. ”

In the square outside the city hall, the citizens who succeeded last night gathered.

“Take her outside in a respectful manner. ”

Soldiers took the mayor and city council tied to the rope to the square. I casually followed.

“Whoa! Kill them! ”

“Traitor! Traitor! The Maw's Nose!”

Outside, angry citizens unleashed their accusations indiscriminately. The prisoners who were tied up with the beast urgently claimed to be innocent of their involvement with the Horsemen.

“Absolutely not! ”

“Trendies! Please listen to this old gentleman! ”

But that excuse didn't work. I couldn't hear what the crowd was saying, rather than making excuses. But sinners secretly believed in me.

“Dear Citizens, ”

When I open my mouth with one hand, everything is silent like a lie. A lot of gazes were headed this way. I raised my fist and cried out to them.

“We've won! ”

In a word, the square was agitated.

“Waaaahhhh!”

I felt better seeing people who were passionate. How good is this relationship?

It gives them the conditions they want, and it gives them the answers they want. In return, I use them to eat. What better relationship could there be to the laws of the world called Gibbs and Takes?

“Look at these shameless people! They have fallen at the hands of the citizens! ”

I never said I was a traitor because I had a promise. But I had no problem achieving my goals. They were already traitors to the crowd.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Kill! Kill!" Kill him! ”

They were like spectators watching a match of Roman gladiators. Then I'll sprinkle their blood like the emperor who makes amends.

Pair!

I clapped my hands lightly. A wide decapitation of Richtschwert enters, pretending to be a match. The mayor and the city council who remained silent were in a state of panic.

“No! I told you to let me live! ”

“Ser Balor! What the hell!”

They struggle to see if they were fooled, but the mercenaries are already pressing their shoulders firmly. The citizens shouted more excitedly at the scene.

“Strike the throat! Throw it! Throw it! ”

The square buzzes with a single voice.

“Give me one. ”

I took the Decapitation Blade, too.

“Balor! You bastard! ”

The market turned snowy after realizing that things had gone wrong. But I shrugged my shoulders.

“I wouldn't break a promise. ”

“What!”

“I thought I was saving you from eternal death? I don't know now, but you'll have a day to thank me. ”

“What nonsense! ”

The eternal death I speak of is the undead. They have a strong personality and cannot be undead, so they are trying to satisfy the needs of the citizens.

I grabbed the decapitation sword and read the inscription on the sword.

“Wan Ich Das Schwert Huie Auffheben-So Wunsche Ich Dem Sunder Das Ewige Leben. ”

Amazing. It truly reflects my honest heart as to who wrote it!

“Gain eternal life, of your soul! ”

Phew!

A decapitation sword struck the mayor's head in a single blow. Hot blood splattered on his face. I lift my flying head up in front of the crowd with clean hands.

“Waaaahhhh!”

The cheers burst, and I shouted when they got what they wanted.

“Rest assured, esteemed citizens! I will protect you from now on! ”

Then the citizens raised their arms and cheered.

“Balor! Balor! Balor!”

“Savior! Savior! Savior!”

In just one day, I took over the Wittenbuyer. Those who resisted and resisted were all driven out by the Maverites and traitors, and no one was making fun of them anymore.

Yes, this city is mine now.

* * *

Those who were beheaded were fortunate. compared to those who are in front of me now.

“Serve faithfully. ”

“I will, Your Grace. ”

Ten councilmen in prison kneel before me on one knee. They've just been reborn as Daywalkers. It was going to be my hand and foot to help me manage Wittenbuyers.

“In return for your hard work, I authorize citizens to levy taxes. The taxes you can walk on are their blood. ”

“Thank you, indeed, for your generous kindness. ”

As they absorbed the city council, the city officials who were under their influence had also quickly cooperated. I didn't stop here.

“Vitenweir now leads the Southwest of the Empire! It will be the most powerful and wealthy free city! ”

I promised a rosy future to the citizens, leaving a promise that would not be made.

“All citizens will receive 50 florins to celebrate this victory! ”

There was a lot of toebox traffic. Resources were used to kill the mayor and the city councillor.

“Hail Lord Balor! Apply, apply! ”

“A true leader! ”

People cheered. This way, my Wittenbuyer control seemed to be completed smoothly.

However, variables occurred.

* * *

The Demon Lord Commander Gujarak has been dying lately.

“How many hostiles? ”

“5,000 more, 5,000 more. He said he was organizing a large group of militias there. ”

“Hmm…. ”

His army was 15,000, and he still had the advantage. However, real-time intelligence coming from beyond the river made me nervous.

“The completion of the occupation of Wittenbuyers is unusual. ”

“Fear seems to have worked well for me. ”

“Well……. ”

Gujarak felt the need to respond to the work beyond the river.

“If you hold power in fear, don't you just have to get rid of it? ”

“If I may?”

“Contact the city. Let's make a peace treaty. They'll send an envoy in a few days. Promise me you'll bite down the army if it goes well. ”

Gukushirak had a number of human allies and servants. I wanted to create the atmosphere that things would be solved without fighting through them.

* * *

Within days, a strange rumor circulated in the city. The Demon Lord will send peace ambassadors. It made the day of the reign of terror difficult.

The citizens, who were like rabbits, who were in fact noisy, wanted a peace treaty, reflecting the news.

“Ser Balor! I trust you will get this done! ”

“Please reconcile this city! ”

I was embarrassed, because I was trying to break my foundation in a really simple way, not a plausible strategy.

“Damn it. Just like I used fear, he uses fear. ”

But I'm not going down like this. I sent my men straight to the city to spread new rumors.

“The Demon Prince isn't actually here for the peace treaty. They're here to spy on the city. ”

“What! Is that true? ”

“I see. Soon they'll invade Vitenbier, and they'll be coming to find out where the castle is weak and where the military is stationed!" ”

“Oops! Those bastards. ”

“Fools love peace, but stay with me. Where did the peacekeepers get their bayonets? ”

Papenheim and the rest of the Daywalkers are very capable of creating rumors. But this alone did not give me an edge. The city's public opinion began to collide in half.

"The only way to live is through peace!"

"Shut up, you cowards!"

It was a situation where something needed to be hit. I summoned a quiet man.

“Kurud.”

“Yes, Lord. ”

Kurud is a town councilman in Wittenbayer who is now a volunteer volunteer at Daywalker. It had a strong influence on the city council.

“I need you to help me. ”

I instructed him on a secret task.

“I'll follow you faithfully. It's just an honor to have you in your business. ”

“You are Mango's loyalty! ”

The role of Councilman Kurud is simple. He confesses that he is communicating with the Horsemen. Four days later, the morning when the envoy was supposed to come, I gathered the citizens.

“Here! A terrible sinner! Listen, he wants to confess his sins! ”

Suddenly, people showed strong curiosity in the situation where Kurud was captured. Kurud confessed, taking everyone's eyes.

“Brothers of the city! Please forgive me, I'm a fool! From now on, I want to confess this virtue with the feeling of vomiting blood! ”

Kurud's confession was simple. He was in league with the Demon Prince, and the emissary was actually a spy. When the messenger arrived, he decided to hand over the plans for the city's walls.

“Surrender that blueprint and the enemy cannons will simply destroy our fence's weaknesses! ”

Citizens are in a frenzy because of an unexpected confession. Everyone was going to die right away.

“I can't trust the Horses, either! ”

“Damn it! They've all been bought!”

I executed Kurud before my eyes to appease the angry citizens. When the betrayer's throat fell, everyone was calm.

“Don't worry! I will find out their intentions! They won't be able to take away the secrets of any city! ”

I personally promised to deal with this envoy wisely.

“Please return to your homes and keep this a secret. If you keep your mouth shut and observe the ambassadors, you'll be able to read suspicious intents in their eyes! ”

Once the citizens believed in me, they disbanded. As a result of this incident, the comment on the peace agreement died at once. Everyone's attention was focused on the Demon Prince's envoy.

At 3 pm, the gates opened and messengers from the Demon King's army came in. Citizens looked at him as they spoke. Everyone's eyes were uneasy. Tensions were escalating.

The envoys were embarrassed that they felt something unsettling. They wandered around their elongation. That's when someone snitched.

“Look at that. Impersonating peace and spying on the city. ”

It spread in an instant, riding a wave of anxiety. And as soon as the envoy reached the square in front of the city hall, my entrepreneur shouted evil.

“Kill it! Kill the mole to bring us back to life! ”

It was like a trigger. No, it was like magic. Citizens raided the envoys, each with its own weapon.

“Kill the Horsemen! Kill the demons!”

“I have no land to give you! ”

An angry crowd attacks the envoy with clubs, longswords, and halberds. A scream of horror and evil screams erupted. The envoys quickly turned into rags and fell to the ground. People spit on those who are already dead.

"Kill! This terrible horde!"

"It's not a crime to kill the Demons!"

I looked down at him while drinking tea on the city hall terrace.

“Papenheim. Do they look brave? ”

“No way. You're afraid to use evil. like the surprised piglets. ”

“Hahaha. You're absolutely right. ”

Citizens were already crossing the irreversible river. I soon lost interest in the chaos. Instead, I watched the birds flying away.

The sky was really clear today.

“What a fine day for war. ”
