Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Lesson 208: Heavenly Punishment
Despite the cold winter days when the snow glistened, one of the reception rooms in the capital of Agarta had open windows. At that window, there was a figure of a man. It is the King's Linos. He stares at the silver world on one side, visible through the window, eating something. Behind that linos, I saw a figure.
"... isn't it cold?
It was Matocal talking to me. Linos glances at Matocal. But as always, I keep eating something.
"I'm putting my boundaries together. No problem. Basically, it's adjusted to be the most appropriate temperature in the junction. Is that it? Weren't you putting a line on the mato?
"I got the no-attack junction strained... up to the temperature..."
"Oh, did I? Then let's rebuild the line.... there you go."
"... warm.... That's convenient, Master Linos' junction.... Together, I'm going to get more and more fucked up"
Linos laughs niggardly when he sees the confused and squeaky matocalypse as chilling. And he reached out to the box placed on his desk and took something and threw it into his mouth.
At that time, several fairy dragons appear outside the window. Linos stands by the windows where the cold wind blows in and confronts them.
'... I see. Did you start grounding in this cold wind?'
'Yes, people are coming down from the ship one after another'
'There is also a population of people coming towards us from Headata. They think you'll be arriving on the Irvej River in about a day'
'Even from the Duchy of Niza, a group of people is moving. This one is expected to take a few more days'
'Okay. Thanks for your hard work. A reward, eat.'
That's what I said, and I'm gonna throw the bun from the store that my little girl brought me for a souvenir into the mouth of the Fairy Dragons. They disappeared as they waved their tails. I close the window and look back in the direction of the matocalypse.
"Mato, deploy your troops on the border with Niza. Looks like Crimeana's followers are coming."
"Are you coming from Niza, too? Are they... are we supposed to drive them back at the border?
"No, let them in. Without a certain number of people, the little girls won't be able to make paradise."
I laugh naughty.
"And Mato, call Knogen. ASAP."
"Okay."
A while later, with Matocal, came Knogen.
"Knogen, turn to Galby right away. Looks like Crimeana's ship anchored offshore is starting to dock."
"Okay. I'll be there in a minute to stop the landing."
"No, I don't mind landing you."
"What do you mean?
"I don't mind landing, but I forbid you to head to Agarta. Don't let them step out of Galby."
"Dear Linos, if that's the case, I think we should stop the landing..."
"No, grant him permission to land. And leave for Agarta three days late. If you don't like it, tell me that Master Crimeana's trust came down to me. Still, those who try to force you to leave, don't mind leaving them alone. Anyway, Knogen, delay Crimeana's departure by three days. That's all I need. If you don't, you'll be fine."
"Ha ha. Also, come and try something strange, right? I get it. Let's do that."
"I'm sorry. Knogens and mats, never push. Matto will be back as soon as the Crimeana guys make sure they get into Agarta safely."
"Okay. We'll just have to keep an eye on him, okay?
"Yeah, but don't hesitate to push them back if they do harm to the army or skip the bullshit. If it's a war, they'll be soldiers who don't fear death. Be prepared there, okay? Hopefully, it won't, but... it's... it can be done, right?
"I'll take care of it. Are you bringing them to Agarta while you make them look good? No problem."
"All right. It's cold, so just be careful, okay? When you get back, I'll warm you up again."
"Ri... it's not cold thanks to Master Linos for setting the line earlier. It's okay."
That's what Matokal said and left the room. Knogen is grinning bitterly to see how it goes.
"Your face was bright red."
"Mato is not immune to these stories. I'm gonna stick with you."
"If you do too much, Master Ricolette will piss you off, won't you?
"Whoa! That's crazy. I'll weigh myself in so you don't."
I laughed aloud with Kunogen and me. And Knogen moved on to the city of Galby.
"Well... shall I go too?"
I dropped off Kunogen, stretched my back, and left the office behind.
That evening, Galby's harbour was in extreme turmoil. There was a skirmish between hundreds of believers who had landed from a docked ship and the soldiers of Agarta.
"What are you people! Why, block our path!
"We are here to make this Agarta paradise! Why are you interrupting us!
"We are followers of Lady Crimeana. If you interrupt our path, you will be heavenly punished!
Words similar to cursing gossip are showered by the soldiers. The Agarta soldiers, however, do not ride any such provocation, pushing back the followers of Crimeana who push by without all changing their expressions. Some believers saw Suki and passed through, but the soldiers showed no interest and were dedicated to pushing back the faithful who pushed him pale.
At that time several bishops went forward in front of the soldiers to divide the crowd and raised their voices of anger.
"I'm Carli, the chief priest of Crimeana. Send out your commanders! Whose orders are you to do this? Isn't King Agarta, your king, allowing us to enter Crimeanas! Nonetheless, why would it prevent us from moving! Send out the commander! The commander... whoops!
The chief priest, named Carli, had been grabbed by his chest by a hand that had been stretched out from among the soldiers, and had been pulled straight in. He searches for the Lord of his hand, who grabbed his chest, roughing his breath.
"... Deputy Commander of the Agarta Army, this is Knogen."
The voice was heard from over my head. When I accidentally raised my head, there stood a small man who looked good to people, but in good health.
"Are you the commander? What the hell..."
"The trust has come down."
"Huh?"
"My king, Linos, was first entrusted by the Crimeana."
"What? No way..."
"I don't know if it's true. Anyway, I'm not a follower of Crimeana. My king said he had these dreams. Master Crimeana, do not gather the faithful, do not gather... And that was said in a sad voice, he said. Were you sobbing... too? Anyway, Master Crimeana said," Do not gather the faithful. "
Kunogen is talking to Carli to tell him, nodding more likely to bring.
"But there have already been more than ten ships gathered here in Galby. You're going to betray Master Crimeana like this, aren't you? I would have liked to have let every ship know if it was meant to be, but I don't have time. So the Lord, Linos, for the last three days, all of Crimeana have been commanded to evacuate by boat. That's why they're stopping us from getting out of Galby."
"Evacuation? What do you mean!
"Look, there's a chance that heaven will punish you, too, right?
"Heavenly punishment? What are you talking about? We are devout Crimean followers. From the point of view of the Lord God, Crimeana, my Son is one of us. Why should I be punished?"
Carli laughs lavishly. In his ear, he hears an unheard noise from nowhere. And the sound gradually gets louder.
"Nah... what, what's this noise?
"Ha ha. Sooner than I thought, heavenly punishment would come, right?
Knogen looks at the sky and laughs niggardly. Carly looked abominable and stared at the smile. At that moment he opened his eyes and solidified.
What he saw was the sight of massive amounts of artillery water flowing from upstream of the Irvej River as he swallowed the followers of Crimeana who had broken through the cessation of Agarta soldiers.
