Chapter 193: Disobedient Person
"Shiro-dono!"
I killed all those who took up arms and resisted.
"Julius, what about the damage over there?"
"It's okay. There were some injuries, but nothing serious."
"I see, wash the wounds with alcohol. Tetanus will be disastrous."
"Is river water not good?"
"That's fine, but alcohol works better. Hunt for food in the fort, and there should be liquor."
"Okay, I'll give them instructions. What about the prisoners?"
"I left it to Wince and Sedona. They should be back soon."
After a while, the two will return.
Together with unarmed people
"No, that's a lot, isn't it?"
"Roughly 500 people."
No, that's a lot, isn't it?
"Julius, how many were captured?"
"Dozens, 36 to be exact."
"No, that's a lot, isn't it?"
"Is that all you can say?"
It can't be helped
Only that comes out
"Are you the leader of this rebel army?"
A few people step forward from the group
I talked to Wince in a whisper because he was a stranger
"Who?"
"Some nobleman."
"Huh? Why is a nobleman being held captive?"
"Isn't that something he's going to explain to us now?"
Despite our conversation, Julius began to respond.
"I’m Julius, acting leader of the rebel army. The leader is supposed to be captured here?"
"Huh? Wince. What about Maria?"
"That's... it seems that Maria was taken out of the fort just a little while ago."
"Wha...!"
Anger appeared on Julius' face.
"Julius, calm down. You are in command now, so bear with it."
"Kuh... I know. Where are you guys from?"
A few middle-aged to old men answer the question
"We were lords of a medium-class city."
"You were? Are you different now?"
"Yes, I was deprived of that right and now I am a prisoner here."
"What did you guys do?"
"We disobeyed the Queen's order."
That order is an order that can hardly be said to be that of a leader of a nation.
"Move your armies to the lower settlements around you. Collect and offer up anything that can be converted into money."
As a reward for following orders, [people in the village can be free].
It seems that the nobles here couldn't abandon their human hearts.
"What are you going to do now?"
"......The previous king of Geldaria was a greedy man. But he knew where the line was. The Queen does not draw that line, and if it is not stopped, the country will die. If we don't stop her, the country, and all life in the land, will die out."
"You will cooperate with us?"
"If you allow it."
"We will, but there's no guarantee we'll win, you know?"
If they join the rebel army and lose, it will be even more miserable.
"We are prepared for that."
There is a certain will in those old eyes.
"You've increased your strength, Julius."
"It's a drop in the bucket."
But it's better than nothing.
"Shiro Edgeworth"
"Whoa!"
Suddenly Ginkei appears in front of me
"It's an urgent matter. Maria may be in a major city north of here."
"Major city?"
"It's the royal capital!"
"How far away is it?"
"If we ride out now, we'll be there in the morning."
Then there is only one option
"I'm going"
"Don't you have a horse?"
"It's faster to run, Julius and the others move the prisoners to the forest fortress."
"...You'll take care of it?"
"I'll take care of it. I'll bring her back properly."
