Chapter 281 – Chapter 27 – Divide, Divide
A group of nobles who framed themselves or treated them carelessly during the First Continental War.
Klaus remembered each and every one of those faces.
He even used a skill called memory imprinting to ensure that he would not forget in any case.
Those who follow him as a war hero will only know him as a wise, brave, ruthless, and sometimes merciful commander.
In fact, Klaus could be said to be a vengeful demon who wanted to repay everything, even the smallest details, or, to put it a little worse, a very narrow-minded person.
“All, you!”
While the soldiers are having a hard time today as well.
An aristocrat who is eating luxurious food that can hardly be seen as an exhibition.
What was this guy’s name, I just call him by his nickname, so I can’t remember.
When he reached the nobleman he called the piglet, Klaus smiled and picked up the fork he was holding and inserted it into his side.
“Damn it! Knock!!”
“Pig. It was so thick that I wondered what it would be like if a knife couldn’t go through it because of that thick layer of fat, but it must have been so soft that even a fork could pierce it, let alone a knife.”
Kuwook-. Whoops!-
Slowly push the fork in and strike it with the palm of your hand until it is fully inserted.
Maybe he touched his intestines, the man shut up! I couldn’t even scream properly and fell on the floor, shaking my whole body.
“Remember? When I asked for provisions, they refused, saying they had nothing to feed their soldiers.”
“Ouch! That, that couldn’t be helped… Aaaaagh!! Aaaaa!!!”
“Pig. I didn’t come all the way here to hear the fuck up. Do you think I don’t know They ate metallurgy metallurgy from what they were told to hand over for military rations, so there weren’t many that came to the front. Food prices skyrocketed as soon as the war ended, so how did many of you nobles make money from that food? Isn’t it strange No matter how good the South is, there are no people to farm, so where the hell did the food come from?”
“Oh, no. No! That, that…”
I still haven’t come to my senses. While muttering that, I pick up the knife this time.
Then, stick it on the back of your hand that was shaking.
“Aagh! Aagh!!”
“You still have the strength to scream, so you will die with a lot of noise. Like piglets being plucked. However, in the First Continental War, my soldiers died of starvation because there was no food. I had no strength, so I couldn’t even breathe and died. So from now on, if I ever hear a scream in my ears, I’ll tear it from the snout.”
Klaus pulled the knife out of the back of his hand and touched the nobleman’s cheek.
The noble nodded his head as if he understood while shaking his body.
“Great. Then ask a question. Who else besides you who ate the military rations at the time?”
“Wait, wait. Time to remember…”
“It seems that we lacked a lot of conversation.”
Fuuk!-
“Quaaaaagh!!”
“I told you. If it’s not the answer I want, then no. The snout is holding back because it needs to listen to the answer, but the rest doesn’t matter, so I think it’s okay to poke it several times.”
Red blood oozes from the back of both hands.
Sobbing in extreme pain and fear, the aristocrat eventually started blowing all he knew.
As the war came to an end, anxiety began to soar among the nobles.
In the midst of that terrible war, only the common people suffered and resisted, and most of the nobles were those who fled.
It would be difficult for such aristocrats to return and retain their former authority.
The timing will be even more confusing, but it will be a dangerous time if the commoners are not held tight.
With that thought in mind, the nobles decided to hold on to the most important and most dangerous part.
They stole some of the military supplies, stored them, and used them as weapons after the war.
Since both material and human resources were severely consumed, when the war ended, a severe shortage of materials continued in many places.
In particular, the food part was serious, but the nobles solved the food right at that timing.
Of course, not for the purpose of relieving the common people, but in a way to establish their own authority.
“Dogs. When my life is in danger, I run away and run away, and the common people of the kingdom barely handle the shit you packed up, so now I made you clean your assholes. This is it.”
“I couldn’t help it. Well, if we don’t do that, the commoners will…”
“It would have been better to be dragged down by the hands of commoners, beaten a little painfully, and then released.”
“Uh, what…”
“Because you think and act like that. You met me now.”
With those words, the knife in Klaus’s hand enters the noble’s mouth.
As soon as he feels the cool edge of the blade touch the inside of his mouth, the pig starts to turn around, saying no, as if he had anticipated what would happen immediately after.
“So, blame yourselves for thinking and acting like that. Because the ones who let me meet the devil are you in the past.”
Cheak!-
The man’s mouth splits open on both sides, and red blood flows out once again.
A scream that could hardly be heard from a human resounded throughout the room.
However, no one came running to this place even after hearing his screams.
The soldiers fainted, and the knights were all killed on the spot.
“I ate a lot during that time. I think I tore my snout while being greedy. Then you will feel a little less unfair on the way to death.”
Klaus threw the knife he was holding in random places and stood up.
With this, he caught another nobleman and killed him.
There are already more than 10 people, but there are still not enough and more and more.
The reason why the kingdom that survived the war against the demons is shaken is simple.
There are too many trash and thieves inside. If they don’t get rid of all of them, even if Yulia unifies them, she will be carrying an element of anxiety.
Why did Klaus endure all the insults and irrationality?
That is to sort out trash, just ordinary stones, and boulders.
That is why he chose the Marquis of Kienmeyer, and also the Earl of Fremont next to him.
On the contrary, I would kill the pigs and other nobles wriggling right in front of me one by one.
“Huh.”
Klaus came out and inhaled the cold air of the deep night.
Some people say that revenge is just futile and that it only makes them suffer more.
Klaus had no intention of listening to such bullshit.
Revenge hurts? Are you just making it hard for me? Then it wasn’t revenge.
They just talk about a guy who didn’t get his revenge properly or something like mental victory.
If you’re going to take true revenge, completely destroy everything you want to take revenge on.
After burning, stealing, and destroying everything the target held so dear.
If you finally take away even your one and only life at the most miserable level.
Perhaps you will be able to spend the happiest and most exhilarating moment of your life.
That is revenge, that is true revenge.
Klaus didn’t believe a single bit of bullshit about forgiveness being the best revenge and revenge begetting more revenge.
Therefore, more nobles will be killed and killed, their families as well as their relatives and vassals will be killed, their heads cut off, and they will be carried around for half a day.
‘My anger is only just beginning. After removing all the debris that was dragged forward. I’ll kill all the members of the noble council who are hiding in the center and guarding my castle.’
Thinking so, Klaus kicked off the fortress wall once more and flew up.
There was still quite a bit of room in the time I promised with Yulia, so killing ten more would be no problem.
On the other hand, as Klaus went around the fort and slaughtered the commander as well as the knights, naturally the whole fortress began to collapse.
No matter how hard you try to hide it, you can’t hide the huge battle in which thousands of people died.
Rumors gradually spread that the beastmen and fairies who rushed to help the kingdom were wiped out.
Originally, the messengers sent by Archduke Joseph conveyed the news that another support would arrive anyway, and that we should hold out just a little longer, as it would be advantageous for us to drag it into a long-term battle.
However, the messengers who were supposed to deliver all the news had already become corpses.
One was attacked by Planche, another by Lire, and the rest of the messengers were also attacked by demon scouts or those from the Red Tarantula side who were waiting in advance.
Not a single one made it to their target, and no official order was given.
“Really, didn’t you really go over the entire central area as well as the rear?”
“Quiet! I mean keep quiet!!”
The command center was completely destroyed in the fortress that Klaus personally visited, but since he didn’t go through all the fortresses individually, of course there are places still alive.
And the nobles and knights guarding the fortress seemed to break into a cold sweat from their nervousness.
All of these current strategies are based on the premise that supplies are well supplied from the rear and that reinforcements arrive on time.
It should never have happened to such a tragedy that the enemy would surprise the rear, cut off all supplies, and defeat the coalition they had so trusted, with few survivors!
“Already the southern forts are falling one after another. Is that all? According to another rumor, when the demons in the central area moved, all defenses up to the immediate vicinity of the capital were breached in an instant. If, by any chance, all support is cut off and only the South remains, we will have to fend off the enemy from the front and the rear at the same time. In this case, I’d rather abandon the fort and move to the rear as much as possible…”
Their meeting was short-lived.
Suddenly the door opened, and very urgent news was delivered.
“Big, big deal! It was a big deal!! Now, the traitor Klaus has appeared outside the fortress!”
“… What nonsense. He said he was currently near the Marquis of Kienmeyer. He said there was no movement of any troops, but he suddenly said that he was coming with an army!”
“No. He didn’t come with an army. He came alone, alone, and… He is bewitching his allied soldiers. Since the war has already ended, he told me not to throw away his life and surrender…”
“What?!”
The hearts of the soldiers must not be shaken during this precarious time.
Even a small wind can turn into a huge hurricane in an instant and blow against them.
It doesn’t matter if the person on the outside is really Klaus or just an impostor.
The important thing now is that their situation is not at a disadvantage, so it is the worst.
And it was that they had been treating the soldiers carelessly.
The moment when the personnel from the command team went outside with hasty steps.
They realized that when something went wrong, it was definitely going wrong.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Obviously, nobles and knights appeared in front of them, but the soldiers did not show any examples.
I didn’t lower my head or bend my back, I just stood there and looked at them.
The moment the command staff, feeling something cold there, were about to open their mouths.
“… Can’t live like this And, you can’t die like this.”
Starting with those words, the soldiers’ spears and knives turned toward the nobles, not the demons.
