Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 115: The Misery of the King's Capital
The sky in Wang Du begins to whiten. Same morning as always. Winter cold is soothing. But the hearts of the inhabitants living in the Wang capital remain frozen.
There was also some commotion last night. Dozens of soldiers rode past us north. From the West Gate, it also appears that the army has gone out. It was decided after these nights that it was only recently here that new bodies were rolling in and out. In some cases, it was often suspended from the walls.
The residents who opened the door of the dreaded house sensibly felt that the King's Capital was different than usual. I couldn't feel anything like the "killer" that was always stalling in town.
The residents are stunned when they go out and look at it so the soldiers can't find them. The black cavalry that has tormented us so far was thrown into a big hole. Not only that, but at the South Gate, the bodies of the fellow Black Cavalry were arranged neatly as if they were fish.
And there were several adventurer-inspired men there who had never even seen them, and large billboards built. There was this message written there.
"Today, this King's Capital was liberated by the Headata Empire. I think I have extra time to guess the hard work so far. From now on, we will defend this king's capital. Rest assured. Never do obnoxious biocides or looting. There's plenty of food. First, we'll do a cookout at noon today. Come if you like. Location: North Gate (but bring dishes)
Birtherm Darke Linos "
With dawn I will move to the mansion. And ask Rico and the others to prepare for cooking. Everyone seemed to expect this, and first, Mae and Rico were in charge of collecting enough ingredients to be collected from Krumfal and the Duchy of Niza. Pallis, Ferris and Ruara cook rice at the mansion, grinding rice from one end to the other.
Watching it, I head to Miyagi Cucumber. His Excellency the Chancellor had not yet attended work, but he was able to meet His Majesty in person immediately.
"... as always, it's quick"
"Yeah, because all the operations went better than I expected."
"You did a great job. What should we do now?
"In the meantime, it would be better if the empire soldiers entered as a suppression of the king's capital."
"No, that doesn't just turn the minds of the King's people upside down. You should stop."
"What does that mean?
"Think about it. He is a king who has been ravaged by Ramaron. There will be more fear of soldiers in armor than you can imagine. For a while, I want Lord Linos to restrain the King's capital."
"... but there's security, etc."
"If it seems to get worse, let's let the Empire soldiers in. Until then, I want to ask for something. Instead, if you need anything, I don't care what you say."
I kind of follow the room in a way that His Majesty told me well. Well, as far as King's Capital is concerned, it doesn't look good for hygiene, so we need to rent doctors, carpenters, etc. together when we calm down. At that time, I convinced myself to go back to the mansion in an attempt to spare my life.
Both Rico and May were back at the mansion to help cook it out. Both Krumfal and Niza appear to have succeeded in procuring large quantities of food. Happy to hear the report, I will move to Wang Capital again.
In front of the North Gate, the humanized Gong and Knogen men were preparing to cook out. I'll give you an emergency lunch while I jerk off their labor. And I walked out of the king's capital to the south.
There are many people hanging from the walls. That was down with each and every soldier. Beneath it, where it was originally a vast plot of cultivated land, a companion body was left unattended. The bodies of all generations of men, women, old and young were there.
I look toward the residential area unexpectedly for the rest of the sight. I interact with the house that was originally built, and I can see digging huts like Barack everywhere. I could see the kid, but he ran away somewhere as soon as he saw me.
Keep it up. I'm going into the mall. Looking at the West Gate, the Ramaron soldier I defeated had already been thrown into the big hole I dug. It's pretty wide, I dug it deep, but for hundreds of people in there, it's almost full. The West Gate is closed, with several people positioned at the gate and the walls above it, keeping an eye on external incursions. Looks like Gong has already removed the curse on the soldiers. Speak to them of your labor and head to the sheltered women's mansion.
The women were miserable. Body wounds are healing, but heart wounds are not healing. Everyone looked frightened when they saw me and shook my body.
"To us, too, this is the reaction. I treat you politely..."
"Well, you won't have a choice. I'm sorry about you guys, but don't ask me. I don't know if the women have an appetite, but I'm leaving my lunch. It's early in the morning, eat."
That's what I say, after the mansion. And as I walked, I reached the building of the Royal Army headquarters at the South Gate. Knogen's men, including Lisima, rested on its top floor, probably in a room where the commander of the Ramaron army was.
"From here, it's spectacular."
"Yeah, looks like they're lining up the fish"
"But if we don't get rid of it soon, the smell will be bad again."
"Right. We have to clear it up tomorrow."
"I have to get everyone to work again."
"Marquis, you don't get to work at all."
That's what Knogen's men laugh at.
"First of all, thank you for your hard work. Leave the mesh. Take some time to sleep and rest while you eat this. And leave him with the guys on the lookout, too, okay?
That said, I set up a metastatic junction and moved to the Renoir Forest.
'I'm sorry, you guys. You haven't had your morning yet. "
"So, who's in the operation...?
"Success. I could have won without any damage at all '
"That's your husband."
'Sadakichi, here's another job for you guys. If I eat breakfast, I want Wang Du to fly. And I want you to sprinkle the powder that reduces the odor coming out of there'
"It's cheap."
"And watch the perimeter of the king's capital for a while. As soon as there are any suspicious people, report them. And if there's a place in this country that you like, say it. I'll make your place there. '
'Yes, I did!
The Fairy Dragons have also been working well together for a long time. I really need to give him something to reward for his work.
With that in mind, I move to the imperial mansion again.
The mansion was able to produce a huge amount of rice balls, vegetable soup and croquettes.
"Linos, we don't have a place in the dining room anymore!
"Okay, I'll take it to Wang Du!
Shortly after I took a break, I repeatedly transferred the ingredients I had prepared for cooking to Wangdu.
At the beginning of the cookout, there were few Wang du people to visit, and I was worried that they might have all been killed, but rumors seemed to spread from the guy who ate the rice, and hundreds of Wang du people pushed over at the North Gate, making a fuss not to push. Everyone's clothes are somewhere dirty or torn. But seeing the relief supplies being carried from next to next, the King's people in line cheer. I think I'm well.
Everyone, with Rico at the head, cooks out pretty smoothly thanks to the buzz without a break. In the meantime, an old man walked up to me in line organizing.
"Is it Master Linos?
"Yes, I do,"
"Remember, come on? The butcher's pawn owner."
"... oh! Mr. Funnel!
He was the master of a butcher who was going to sell meat from demons he hunted in the Renoir woods. Older than ever before. I'm going to ask what I've been up to.
After I busted the royal castle, some surviving Kargi nobles managed to start ruling by letting in private soldiers. Not so much, he went into a state of civil unrest within the kingdom, but he basically closed all the castle gates and made it a "clandestine" state as far as the King's capital was concerned. Whether this is happiness or unhappiness, we were able to minimise the exodus of the King's people. In addition, rumors that the Great Demon King had descended were combined, saying that no one had a hand in the King's capital.
As for food, thanks to the wide barn zone in the Wang Dynasty, we had managed to secure a degree of food that would not starve to death, and some adventurers and others left in the Wang Dynasty had entered the forest of Renoir to hunt, and had managed to connect their lives.
It was only in the beginning that those who sought escape or provoked madness in fear of the Great Demon King, and those who worked plunder and wolverine, invaded where the army of Ramaron had finally settled in the king's city as well. The Ramaron army, which has been attacking from the south, said it instantly calmed the conflict zone in the south and killed all its inhabitants. And it has invaded the king's capital.
It seems that the coalition of soldiers and adventurers fought well, but it is a U.N. crowd of about 500 men. It happened to allow an intrusion from some of the collapsed walls and was quickly ravaged. All those who took part in the battle were killed, or hung from the walls until they died alive, he said.
The Ramaron soldiers promised not to do harm to those who would not resist at first, but soon the looting of food began, and the women were attacked, and whatever they refused or resisted was killed without question.
"... but you guys, I guess I can trust you. This is not the first time the inhabitants have been fed."
"We don't want to waste our lives. Because it's a waste of time and effort."
"What are we going to do now?
"In the meantime, I will restore the King's capital. Sounds like you have a food problem first. I've got plenty of food for you, so I'll give it to you for a while."
"Non, if you need anything, I can help you. Don't hesitate."
"Thank you. Tell as many people as you can about this cookout"
"Hmm. Probably all the people lined up here are residents, but I'll tell them when I see them."
I was out of line. It used to be a city where hundreds of thousands of people lived, including soldiers. That now stands at just about 1000 people. It's about figuring out Ramaron's harsh maneuvers.
I had just finished handing out the cookout much past noon. We almost finished lunch by sharing the leftovers from the cookout that came close to the sky. And it took Rico and the others long enough to prepare for the evening cookout.
"I'll make curry."
"The ingredients..."
"Master, there's still rice and vegetables in the mansion's vault. I talked to my sister Rico as she handed out the cookout. Curry makes it easy to make large quantities and distribute them."
"Okay. I'll leave it to Rico and May."
I tell people who were eating cookouts nearby that I would cook them out at night, and I tell them to tell others.
"Master, the messenger is better"
Turn your face to the voice of May. An adventurous young man on a horse was there.
"Excuse me more than on the horse. Master Knogen has been taken back with him. We're headed to Royal Army headquarters."
"No, not there, can you tell him to come in through the south gate and go through the aristocratic mansion district on the east side and bring him to the barracks next to the north gate?
"Got it! Bye!"
With that said, the young man ran his horse away with refreshment.
I speak to one of the gatekeepers nearby.
"Thanks for your hard work, but can you go to Royal Army headquarters and tell Lissima that... what did you say, and the Fulchin bastard, bring him with you to the barracks next to the North Gate?
"I'm in awe!
"Well... how will you succeed or fail..."
I look into the sky of the king's capital. The blue sky, which was about to be inhaled, was full of vision.
