"Would you answer that? What happened to the Rabbits?
"What the hell are you! What are you suddenly exploring! Dear Knight, may I forgive such tyranny!
A man of warrior-like stature who suddenly broke in from the side. The scar, which would have been made of a hidden sword from the sleeve of the left arm, now appears to be healed, but it doesn't even look that old.
"He is Mr. Garve, the village chief of this settlement. Please calm down a bit, Mr. Garve.
Speaking of which, this was not a place managed by the people of the fishing village, but another settlement. That's why I wanted to hear from the people in the fishing village. Apparently, the parties have come.
"What are you suddenly angry about? You said you were looking for something, but is it a pain in the stomach?
"There's no reason for anything. It would be decided! You're being rude!
"You think you're disrespectful for yelling and continuing to intimidate?
"Calm down both of you!!... Masal, what the hell... you said you came here two months ago in a storm. But why are you looking into what happened two years ago?
"I didn't make any corrections saying I wasn't, but I didn't say I'd been here two months? If you'd told me why, you'd have said that, too. That there are people who have been grateful.
"... are those the Rabbits?
I've been silent again, so let's sort out the info so far.
Firstly, I presume that two years ago this was not the land inhabited by the Rabbits, and that would no doubt be due to information from the Rabbits and their reactions.
But a new question was also found. Cook, the Knights' platoon leader, said, "Are you suggesting that there were other people living here?"
Besides, the village chief of this settlement… he was one of those who fought directly on this matter. The fact that settlements and fishing villages are in the Knights' defensive zone means that the Knights are controlled under the country to which they belong.
What if two years ago, they kicked out the Raptors, the residents, to expand their area of power? I'm sure there would have been no irresistible surrender of land.
Then it will be a battle and there will be soldiers… if soldiers are needed, there will be rewards. If we were to expand the zone of power, if we were to need residents to protect it, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume to some extent that we had given soldiers who could fight and protect the land the right to live on it as a reward?
Then what about the residents who wanted to live there? I'm sure not all the people who live in that ghetto are all of them, so what happened? That's what I want to know.
"So, can you talk to me? What do you say?
"You don't have to answer!
"So you can deal with the earlier raids through a complaint from me, the victim. Thank you for your time, Mr. Cook.
"Wait a minute! I'll talk. I'll talk!
"You! You forgot to thank me for accepting evacuation!
That's been a rather tragic development. I don't have the courtesy to give you a break, but I don't want to hang out with this kind of cont all the time.
"Then let's talk from me. Because I'm involved in the matter, too.
"Dear Eldam!?
What a knight Eldam Cook's men had never spoken to before when he said that and came out.
"As Masal also thinks, indeed, this land was the land inhabited by the Beasts.
"Please wait! Dear Eldam!
"Shut up, Garve! I'm not allowed to speak to you!
Apparently, you two know each other.
"Let's talk more...
To sum up, about five years ago, a previous king died and changed his price. He swallowed up the surrounding settlements to become his own land. That's when Eldam and Garve, as superiors and subordinates, apparently joined the fight. And two years ago, we reached this land where the beasts lived, and after the battle, the beasts fled, and the land was absorbed into the country, and Eldam told the knights, and Garve became the village chief of this settlement.
"So? What happened to the Beasts? Everyone escaped, died in battle, didn't they?
"... captured as prisoners and now treated as slaves.
"Then let me let you go.
"Huh! I can't do that! Slaves are treated as property! It's impossible to let go on your own.
"So if we're slaves to beating you up here, it's all my property, right?
"Is there such an unscrupulous reason!!
"You guys enslaved the Beast Man after all that lameness, didn't you? Then you can't complain about being slaughtered or enslaved, can you?
"You're willing to take the side of the Beast Man and turn man against his enemies!
Ho, is that what you're going to say over this period?
"Okay. If paying them back for their kindness is your enemy, be glad. If we understand how much what we have done is contrary to the ways of men, and we say that it is just, and that the aggression is right, let me make your aggression.
With that said, I gently pull my sword out of my sheath, letting it be regarded as a fighting spirit little by little in my heart.
"Wait, we can't really free slaves on our own.
"You think we're taking over the law?
"Exactly. Never do it on our own…"
"Shut up!! The people who were invaded did not belong to the country. I mean, you guys pushed your own laws and enslaved them to selfishness!
No one could argue with the words, and now it was time to be completely silent.
