Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill
Episode 95: Postwar Processing
After Fort Wakumacro falls, we go inside the fort to do post-war processing.
Before you go in,
"Master Ars... I was wondering if you'd like to see the inside of the fort for a while"
And Leeds stopped me.
Right after the war. I can imagine the fort would be terrible.
Especially where it was burned down using flame magic, etc., would be out of sight.
But I still can't run away without seeing it here.
Though the army is led by Le Maire this time around, there must also be a large number of soldiers killed by my minister.
Turning away from the death of those seemed to me to be disqualified behavior as the Lord.
Besides, I may make confusing and deadly mistakes when I'm going to stand on the battlefield again and again, but I shouldn't be upset by the body either.
You'll also need to get used to it.
"You don't have to worry about it. I'm going inside the fort, too."
"Really..."
You found out my readiness, Leeds didn't stop any more.
Inside the fort, Le Maire, goes in with the ministers.
Inside the fort, as expected, there were many bodies rolling around.
I feel unexpectedly dizzy at the hellish sight I've never seen before. I did take care not to worry about Leeds and the others.
Some bodies were burned and carburized by flame magic.
I didn't know what it really felt like to see it up close as it was no longer a human corpse, and it wasn't as shocking as I thought.
Roselle, who, like me, saw the sight of the battlefield for the first time, also looked upset.
I was worried about what would happen to Roselle, a child and not yet mentally mature, when she saw the body, but it never seemed to upset her enough to lose herself.
The other ministers didn't seem to care if they were used to it.
As we proceeded inside the fort, several humans were being held captive in the back.
Surviving enemy soldiers and enemy generals.
"Dear Le Maire, what will you do with these people?
"That is for the clan to decide. But this time we were to be hostile and kill each other, but since they are the same Meesian compatriots, perhaps life would save them. Don't untie the rope until it's gone, but be as unburdened as you can be."
"Okay."
I don't know how the clan will judge you, but it won't mean killing everyone. But some of them are still looking at us with hostile eyes.
The general of this fort has decided to surrender, but I guess not all of them are convinced either. If anyone continues to swear allegiance to the Samuk County Chief, that person will have to be executed.
I hope the clan can persuade you.
"Then I'll start first-aid for the fort immediately. Menace, I asked for it."
"Yes."
Le Maire left the fort's first aid to the nearby Menace.
I guess he has a B in castle building appropriateness and is familiar with castle making. Menace began giving instructions for restoring the fence after collecting several magic soldiers.
"Um, I think we should mourn the dead soldier's body..."
I gave Le Mail that opinion.
Keep the corpses all over the fort because you can't stand the boulders.
"So is that. There are few dead on our side, but a few have come out, and the enemy soldiers, as I said earlier, are compatriots. Let me mourn you."
Le Maire gave the soldiers an order and began to prepare to mourn the dead.
Cremation prevails in Meicians.
After cremation, bury the remaining bones and make a grave. It's pretty much the same way Japan does it.
Since the bodies of the allies are known to be identities, they will probably be returned to the survivors.
The bodies of the enemy soldiers were unidentified, so they were collected and burned in one place, then they dug holes and buried and created graves.
After we mourned the dead, we waited for the Klan to come to the fort.
My heart didn't calm down inside.
I saw a lot of bodies and couldn't have been normal minded either.
Even when I saw that Reeds and Charlotte and the others were fine, I realized I wasn't very good for the fight. He's weak in fighting before his heart problems, and he doesn't come up with groundbreaking tactics. Honestly, I'm not much use on the battlefield.
Sometimes finding a good person can't be sweet enough to say that they will kill or be killed in the battlefield and not because they are capable.
I wanted to end this battle quickly, get the land of Canale, and start collecting talent in earnest.
"Dear Ars, I have a report for you."
When I was confused, Leeds called out.
"It's like Fam's coming here."
"What?"
Why is Fam here?
I would have asked Shadow to go into Belzdo.
"I see you wish to see Master Ars."
"Okay, I'll see you now."
I followed Reetz's guide and headed to where the fam was.
