Chapter 256 – 60. Finishing, and Management. (One)
The Duke of Murloc’s group marched toward York Bay, the capital city, with the Marquis’ severed head hanging high from a spear.
Four days later, the group reached the gates of York Bay. Of course, the city did not open its doors smoothly from the beginning.
– Our goal is the extinction of the Marquis family. I don’t want to kill more than that. However, if you wish to resist to the end, I will wipe out all nobles in York Bay. We have the power to make it happen. It is the last warning.
Soon after sending the envoy, the gates opened.
The duke’s troops triumphantly entered the city. City dwellers, trembling in fear of being harmed, locked themselves in their homes and secretly watched their street parade through the windows.
The large city, which had already been scrapped by the combatants twice, felt empty for some reason. There were hardly any mercenaries or young people there. … These are the words of war.
Murloc Ball and his horde even entered the castle. The old Marquis, who had already accepted her fate, came out to greet the Lord Murloc with a resolute attitude.
“I’m going to erase the lineage of our marquis family.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Then, please have mercy on your blood relatives. Don’t you have children too?”
As the old woman said, the murloc ball with the child was shaken at the moment. However, Allen, who was clinging to him like a cicada, firmly advised.
“Majesty. When they grow up, they become adults. Please, do not leave behind a lifetime of remorse with a momentary shake.”
Then the Marquis shouted ino om, slitting her mouth long enough to straighten the wrinkles of her wrinkled mouth at Allen.
“How safe is this! How dare you!”
Allen, however, did not budge from her old wife’s bloody screams, and continued to speak to her.
“The Marquis is an ambitious and cruel man. Leaving not even one of his bloodlines is the way for the continent.”
“It’s a mothership! My husband! Just! Just trying to bring history back! Sacrifices were inevitable!”
When the Marquise’s wife screamed and excused herself, the Murloc Lord decided to kill them all. If he had prayed for affection instead, his heart would have been weaker.
“Did you know how many people died because of the Marquis’ greed? The blood I am buried here will not be half as much as the blood of your husband.”
“Sacrifice for the greater good is the law!”
“For me, this is the cause.”
Lord Murloc waved his hand as if nothing more had to be said. Then, the duke’s mercenaries in the back rushed forward and dragged out all the members of the marquis family.
From the sound of calling mother and father, the sound of cursing, the sound of sobbing, the sound of writing evil… , All those sounds mixed together to create a mess.
The duke raised his hand high and then shook it down. And dozens of heads dripping at the same time.
… And on that day, the bloodline of the marquis family was severed.
· · ·
The war is over.
Allen first arranged the property of the marquis and dealt with war reparations. No matter how well-intentioned he entered the war, he couldn’t send back the comrades who risked his life to fight alongside him empty-handed. Still, she should gladly respond to the request and reward them adequately for their participation.
Anyway, the marquis’ wealth was enormous, and even after paying a generous amount of compensation to the nobles as well as the mercenaries, there was quite a bit of money left over. About fifty thousand gold coins.
Of course, Allen wanted to swallow it like a money ghost, but he couldn’t do that when the murloc duke opened his eyes. He asked the duke what to do with the remaining money.
“I give half to the palace. And half is yours.”
“I have already collected a large amount of reparation money.”
“It’s fine though. … Because you have suffered a lot.”
Allen didn’t know that it was a bribe from Lord Murloc. Trying to buy favors with money from the so-called money ghost.
… And his intentions were rightly hit.
“… Haha. Then, without hesitation…”
The money ghost took all the remaining money. No matter how much he plays with tens of thousands of gold coins these days, 25,000 gold coins is an amount that can never be ignored.
Anyway.
Ownership of the city of Yorkman will now be passed on to distant collaterals of the deceased Marquis. Perhaps, after examining the genealogy of the viscount’s family and meticulously examining the order of inheritance, he would recommend the seat to the next heir.
Of course, it would take at least dozens of years to rebuild the marquess family, whose only remaining property was the castle. Even if the succession was carried out safely, there would be frequent strife over power. … Although the war was over, it was clear that a heavy bloody wind would blow over the big city for a long time to come.
But that’s their job.
The group of murlocs, who had even finished the aftermath, left the big city and went their separate ways.
Ingmar Danju, the tiger in the north, and Kalihill Danju, the king of Hogu in the south, also return to their hometown.
Count Villa, the lord of Margas, the middle city in the middle, and Count Herrera, the lord of the castle, the lord of Mahvana, the middle city in the east, also made their own cities.
In addition to that, the numerous mercenaries hired by the Duke of Murloc also left with their own hiring fees and bonuses.
And the Allen Union and the Viola Union, too, it’s time to leave for Vermandois.
“You’ve been through a lot. Thank you for listening to my unreasonable request.”
“Aren’t we comrades?”
Comrade.
A long smile stretched across Lord Murloc’s mouth when he heard those words.
“Yes, comrade. … If you need help, call anytime. Whatever happens to me, I will run to you.”
“If you say that, do you really trust me too much?”
“It’s okay to believe too much. You are like my brother … Our spirit can’t possibly do that!”
“Haha, I see.”
The two embraced warmly.
“Take good care of yourself.”
“I hope that His Highness will also return safely.”
So the two men left each other’s way.
Climbing into the moving wagon, Allen placed a full-bodied leather sack in the middle of the luggage compartment and picked up a rip-off.
“Now then, let’s settle the bill!”
When Natasha undid the straps, the contents of the sack were revealed. It’s a pile of shiny gold coins!
“Everyone get your pockets! Money goes in!”
Allen scooped up gold coins with a gourd and stuffed them into the men’s leather pockets.
And that act continued until the gold coins in the sack ran out.
Pay enough for your hard work!
This is the money banquet of the money ghost.
· · ·
After a long journey, Allen returned to Vermandois.
The Allen Union saw the world tree growing bigger for several months, and realized that they had finally returned home.
The Allen Union and the Viola Union were torn in the middle and separated into their own hideouts.
Rumors about the war had already spread throughout Vermandois. Since he overwhelmingly defeated Marquis Partalotti, who commanded the Midwest, it was only natural that the reputation of the Allen-Mercenary Corps would skyrocket.
The crew members who entered the hideout, thinking that they could finally stretch out and rest, had a friendly reunion with their colleagues who had been waiting for them blindly there.
In particular, Prophet Alloa, who poured out a bowl of water every night and prayed to the sky over and over again, couldn’t hold back and burst into tears of joy when he saw Allen.
Everything is over and it seems like a happy ending. … However, Allen did not know that this war was only a prelude to the great crisis to come.
As usual, Aloah also said that he had something to say to Allen, and he made a place for himself with him.
It seems that you have seen some terrifying prophecy.
“Danlord… , Listen, don’t be surprised.”
“Tell me.”
The Prophet took several deep breaths and recited what he had seen.
– The sun disappears from the sky.
– A huge floating island rises.
– Eternal cold is coming.
“Is this what you saw?”
“Yes, I have seen them all.”
… Oh my god…
I never thought three out of five would explode.
The war was kind of easy, and the balance patch was done like shit.
“I don’t know what that means exactly. But, obviously, not good things. All of them were unpleasant and eerie. … As much as possible, I think we should be careful.”
But these were not things that could be avoided by being careful.
Curse of eclipse.
Sky stingray.
Infinite cold.
In Chapter 5, that means they explode.
Fortunately, the difference between not knowing at all and knowing in advance is very, very large.
After all, making the Prophet his ally was the best choice. Thanks to this, you can anticipate the upcoming scenario in advance without paying anything. Otherwise, what a tricky price to pay for each prophecy!
“You are my treasure.”
Allen took the Prophet in his arms and gave him a deep kiss on the forehead.
Um… !
Alloa went wild with a kiss and flirted.
Her heart pounded until late that night, and her sleep was disturbed for a long time.
… Now that I’ve received a kiss, should I propose to my sweetheart… ♥
… Not knowing that her future husband is going on a pussy tour to give her a bounty cock.
