Industrial revolution starting with the undead

Hurry up and let Skeleton Hose pull the carriage, and I'm out.

Naturally, Chris is next to me sitting on your stand. By the way, the village chief patch of Secchi, Ken the villager, also put him in the carriage. They came to my mansion the other day with a skeleton hose carriage I deployed, but they had my carriage ready for a hurry.

By the way, it seems it's only in the morning that Mayor Patch has confirmed the current situation in Bath's village - that they are all being killed. And it won't be that long since it means we've seen a bunch of backwards moving away from the village.

I was just on my way in a hurry, and maybe nothing will change the status quo.

But I can't keep my mouth shut when I hear that all the inhabitants I have to protect have been killed.

At the very least, if one survives - hopefully so, I'll run the carriage.

"My lord, it's too soon..."

"Patience me! Anyway, we need to hurry up and head...!

"Yes......!

Even me sitting on your stand, my ass hurts. Running at so much speed.

Skeleton Horse, who doesn't know how tired he is, is on the loose. That's how the carriage rocks, and the two people on the carrier will be experiencing uninterrupted vibrations.

But you can't slow it down. I have to head to Bath's village as soon as possible.

"Sashima"

"Oh......"

"Kao, frightened"

……

Even myself, I am aware of that.

I can't afford it at all right now.

Bath's Village was the first village I offered Skeleton. Attacked by the bandits, not a single young man, it was a village in distress. That's why I was the first to give it to you because I thought this village would accept Skeleton.

Unlike my expectations, the villagers of Bath, headed by Elysio Village Chief, accepted Skeleton as if he were part of the same village. He was adorable enough to name me 'Sketchy', such as Mayor Elisio.

Even so.

Why did Bath's village kill all of them?

"I see it!

"Bhasu no Mura"

Originally, even a skeleton hose carriage takes half a day.

I've been doing everything I can to shorten it by more than half. For this reason, to the extent that the sun is still tilting, it is still shining.

But in such bright sight, there was.

The entrance to Bath's village - where he was bleeding and falling, he was a villager figure.

"Ku......! Stop!"

"Hihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!

A skeleton hose brakes all at once from a stroke of disease.

And when I stopped, I jumped out of your podium and ran over to the falling villagers.

Lie on your back, slashed diagonally from shoulder to belly, the villager.

The village chief of Bath - Elysio.

"Whoa, whoa!!

……

My body is cold and naturally I'm not breathing.

Damn, and it poisons me small. Why on earth has such a peaceful village been ravaged?

And behold, even the crops of the fields, which were fruitful in the blue when they came before, are kindled with fire. Not a single safe house, not a single one, did the rest of the resentful people do this? They were all broken or set on fire.

And the corpses of the villagers rolling all over the village. And only the same number of rolling, bones that used to be skeletons.

There should have been so much power in this village that it could not be annihilated by the bandits...

"Chris!"

"Yes, sir."

"Patch! Ken!

"Heh...!

"All together, look for the survival of this village! At least, just one......!

"Yes, sir. Over there, there."

"Mmmm...!

Chris points to one of the collapsed houses on the outer wall. That must have been the village chief's house I was led to before.

Along with that, I focused my magic on my eyes, too. It is naturally the most powerful sorcery in hide, Magic Vision (Search).

My eyes, in such a broken house - there, I perceived a slightly shaky magic. This means that there are still living people there.

Hurry up, I'm on my way to that broken house.

"Whoa!

"Hih, hih!

"Oh, good! You've got a survivor!

"Ah, you, are..."

It was the old lady who was inside the house.

Perhaps he was hiding in the jaws. The clothes it is wearing are painted on coal and there is still something black on its cheeks. Although she looks dirty, the woman is undoubtedly the one who served me tea for visiting Elysio Village Chief.

Such an old lady - probably the wife of the village chief - saw me and was slipping out of her hips in a broken house.

"I am Lord Jin Fleetberg!

"My lord..."

"Oh. Tell me. What the hell happened here!

"Ugh..."

An old lady burst into tears in both eyes.

Then I lay my face down sadly. Only a whimper and a body tremor can understand how much that heartache is.

"Yes, all of a sudden, they showed up, they..."

"Oh."

"The villagers, the skeletons, to kill them all..."

"Oh."

"My husband, he was killed... I thought like my son, and Skeleton..."

……

The village chief's wife keeps crying.

I explored the whole village with demonic vision (search) as I listened, but I could not feel any other signs of survival. Though only this old lady managed to escape difficulties, you can assume that all the other villagers have been killed.

That's the same with skeletons.

"Who's here?

"Soldier, it was. Wearing armor, riding horses, holding axes and hammers..."

"What kind of armor was that?

"There was a metal, uh... shoulder and back, like a cross surrounded by grass..."

……

Grass on the cross.

That's a crest I've seen several times, too. The greatest religious faction in the Gran Muslim Empire - the mark of 'Sacred Religion' - is surrounded by a sacred cross.

In other words, the village of Bath was destroyed by 'Ecclesiastes'.

"Those guys... call us, evil people," he said! This is a divine punishment...!

……

"We were with Skeleton, as your lord commanded, only...!

……

"Fuck us! I did something wrong, so it's amazing! My lord!!

……

I'm not familiar with the Sacred Religion.

Being an atheist in the first place, I wasn't interested in religion. Where I prayed to God, I am a realist who thinks it makes no sense. Where I prayed to God for how much, tax revenues in our territory would not go up. Where I prayed to God for how much, he wouldn't give me a way to do something about tax revenues or anything. Then it's no use believing.

And 'Ecclesiastes' saw Skeleton and certified this village as a villain of the wicked.

"Hate! Those bastards...! If I had the strength...!

"Sorry."

"My lord, my lord..."

"I'm sorry"

Stand up.

If I hadn't given Skeleton, this village wouldn't have perished. By "ecclesiastical", from the way they put it, there was no such thing as "divine punishment".

I thought religion was something that the believers could save on their own. I didn't care what religion was prevalent in my territory.

But let's reconsider.

Be prepared, 'Ecclesiastes'.

You turned me against the enemy.
