Price of Management

Chapter 6. Declaration

“We need a wagon to transport the prisoners. And I would appreciate it if you could lend me soldiers to oversee and manage prisoners to Kunt territory. ”

When I returned to Earl Ranzhel, I asked Jason. Jason looked at me and asked as if I was suspicious.

“Have you fought with the hordes who tried to assassinate you? Looks like the terrain is too clear. ”

“I have 43 men in custody who surrendered and killed the rest. There's no way I could have been hurt in a battle with animosity. ”

“43? 43 prisoners? ”

I was surprised at Jason's face.

“If you are in doubt, would you like to go with me to the site? ”

Jason nods at my question.

“Good. I'll do that. ”

Jason immediately prepared eight prisoner transport wagons, 100 soldiers and five security guards, whether he wanted to check it out with his own eyes. I boarded a wagon prepared by Jason with Julia and Sis. Jason boarded his own wagon and ordered us to leave.

“Are you hurt? ”

The sheath sitting on the left asked.

“Yes, I'm not hurt at all. I was so great that the bad guys came at me like dogs, they couldn't even touch a feather. So we don't have to worry about a sheath. ”

Sis nodded and grabbed my left arm.

But Julia, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly asked as if it was strange.

“But how did you know there would be an assassination attempt? ”

“Evan taught me. ”

“Baron Evan Taylor? ”

“Yes.”

Julia's eyes widen in surprise.

“Did he agree to be his servant? ”

“Yes. I promised to be my man if I didn't get assassinated. Maybe he'll go to Kunt territory first. Huhuhuhuhuhu, it's like the body's plan. ”

“Ranzhel's janitor working for you is now called 'The Janitor of Ligand'? ”

“Huh, janitor? I don't fake anything as nasty as Wolfgang Lanchel. I'm always up for it. ”

“While rolling the lashes well.... ”

“What did you just say, dear? ”

“Oh, it's nothing. ”

Julia claws her hands. I've heard all about it, but I've decided not to.

After a long journey, you leave Earl Ranzhel and arrive in the Greywood Forest, where you fought the assassins, the Kronellis.

Greywood, once a small wooded area, has been devastated by the aftermath of the upheaval.

“Th, my God! ”

“What is that? ”

“Was it an earthquake? ”

The soldiers of Earl Ranzhel, led by Jason, could not help but be appalled by the sight.

“It looks like some high-ranking madam has cast a spell. This is the work of Caroc Ligand himself? ”

“I didn't expect the power of animosity to be this strong. ”

The knights were also surprised.

He had no choice, but the ruins that had been dug deep were spread out in front of his eyes.

The place that was originally a forest was beaten by the Earth Sphere attack, so the ground was shattered and the grass and trees were shattered without form. It was not as ruined as this in the battle between armies.

Was 100 Earth Spears too much? I feel guilty for destroying a beautiful forest. There were many ways to defeat the enemies without destroying them in such a frenzy. Pushing everything into the ground.... Well, it's too cruel a way to feel bad about it.

“You guys stay inside, don't come out. It's not a good sight to see. ”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

I left Julia and Sissy in the wagon, and I came out. I didn't want to show you two a landscape full of corpses.

Jason, who was looking around me first, approached me.

“Is this all your doing? ”

“Yes.”

“What is this……. No. Where are the prisoners? ”

“Here it is. ”

I tapped the ground with my feet.

Jason's face was momentarily questioned, and soon became a expression.

“Buried in the ground? ”

“Yes, of course I'm still alive. I'll get it out now, so make sure the soldiers are encased and ready to put it on the wagon. ”

“Sure."

Jason gave orders to the army. Soldiers grab their spears and scatter them to watch the ground. They did not understand that there were prisoners in the ground.

Come on, let's get you out.

“Noum. One at a time. ”

- Yeah!

Norum, who was sitting on my head, dived to the open ground. A small limb of gnome was plunged into the ground. After a while, a fun scene unfolded.

Gugu ― Su-wook!

“Hi-ya?! ”

One of the mercenaries, dragged from the ground, screams and rumbles. The face of the mercenary who was wandering around and ignorant of the English language was overwhelming.

“Oops! My mistake. ”

Turns out you've been grounded most of the day.

I've been locked up in a land without a single speck of light all day, so it wasn't hard to shake in terror. This is a serious concern for the mental health of the prisoners.

Well, I'm a little...) I make a mistake or two. Let's just get on with it.

“Well, I'll do anything! I'll do whatever you say, so don't bury me in the ground! ”

Despite being surrounded by soldiers, mercenaries ramble in fear. Well, Bourne has led to a very cooperative attitude. I didn't mean to, but locking him in the ground all day became some kind of mental torture.

“Sa, you're alive! ”

“Hehehe, it's the light! ”

“I shouldn't have gone to the other side! He's still alive! ”

Every mercenary who was dragged to the ground cried and trembled. No one resisted and entered the transport wagon under fire as the soldiers instructed.

At this point, I couldn't help feeling guilty.

I'm sorry a little bit.

“Wounded. Heal them. No matter how bad they are, I feel sorry for them. ”

-Yeah.

Woundee sends her healing powers to the mercenaries. As soon as the healing power of Wounded's body settled, the mercenaries calmed their breathing and heartbeats as if they were calm.

That's how I pulled out 29 people.

Yeah? Yeah.

Then why 29? Where are the other 14?

I asked the last mercenary I pulled out.

“Why did 43 surrender and only 29? ”

There was no way he could have escaped from the depths of the ground.

The mercenary shudders for a moment to recall something terrible. He replied with a trembling voice.

“There was a fight in it. ”

“Fight?”

“Yes. Some claimed we were already dead and gone to hell, and some believed that he would let us die. And eventually... the bickering got so intense that they fought or killed themselves... ”

The mercenary can no longer speak.

I was stunned.

I made it clear that surrendering will save your life. Since I was kept alive to testify to the nature of this case, I should not have let you die.

In just one day, 14 people died of hysteria.

It was a phenomenon that allowed us to see how weak humans were.

No, they're mentally weak. Having lived a harsh life as a result of murder, he lost his composure and lost his mind in a pessimistic direction.

I shook my tongue and shaken my head.

It was a demonstration of why humans should live properly.

So all the mercenaries were loaded onto the prisoner transport wagon.

Earl Ranzhel guessed the mercenaries and found out everything before and after the incident. Their testimony revealed that I was a superior spirit, and the wavelength was not small. There were rumors going around between the knights and the soldiers, staring at each other and muttering.
