Chapter 272 – Chapter 26 – Wildfire
It was in the middle of Klaus and Yulia breaking through the great forest and trampling the rear.
Sensing the cloud of war even before that, a large number of the kingdom’s citizens were conscripted and dragged to the front.
It has not been 10 years since the Continental War broke out and the terrible war ended.
Once again, that nightmare-like war had to break out once more.
Even if it wasn’t, the ugly public sentiment started to burn out of control with the rumor that Klaus appeared in the rear of the kingdom with his demon soldiers.
Someone cursed and cursed Klaus and shouted that he was a traitor.
Someone else defended him as Klaus, who fought only for the kingdom and its people without any personal greed even after participating in the war as a single soldier since the Continental War and rising to the rank of commander.
It was a bonus to argue that those who kept Klaus in check, harassed him, and almost pushed him to the brink during the war, and even during the war, were the damn nobles.
Of course, they were dissatisfied with each other, and of course, in front of the nobles, they couldn’t speak carelessly.
The central area is held very tightly by the nobles, and the southern area is almost private, because there are elite soldiers of a kingdom and nobles who lead them.
But here, in the northern part of the kingdom, things were a little different.
And there was someone who, despite being an aristocrat, had thoughts that were not aristocratic.
“Gentlemen, we are not going to slander, criticize, and fight like this. Instead of calling Klaus a traitor, we should take note of his actions. Commoners, you have to find out your rights yourself. He, too, has come to make up for his lost time!”
Romus Chagar, son of the Chagar family located in the northern part of the kingdom.
For some reason, a man who was originally immersed in the aristocratic ideology suddenly became a fighter who wanted to fight together by holding hands with the common people.
Klaus made a big stir in his thoughts with a few words, and Romus, who originally had a strange idea, turned his thoughts in a strange direction.
Aristocrats are special, but that specialness does not come from trampling on commoners.
Recognizing and reaching out to the common people and going up together, the real spirit of the nobility coming out of it was considered a true honor.
“This is an opportunity. We must fight! Not to mention the demons who invaded our land! Even with the nobles, who are only thinking of eating you again, who were at least able to live on this opportunity! I know because I am a noble. When this war is over, you will fall back to hell! I can’t let it go. You can’t do that! A true noble would lead such unfortunates to safety ashore. I’m not going to trample on you and come ashore, I’d rather sink with you, but I won’t become a scumbag like them!!”
The northern part of the kingdom has long been regarded as a poor place compared to the central or southern regions.
The terrain is rugged, there is little land for growing crops, it is barren, and there are many monsters.
Of course, nothing comes out, but the nobles there squeezed the blood of the territories because they wanted to enjoy power like other nobles.
The common people are dying every day, but the nobles are getting fatter and older.
On the subject of being so tired that it was difficult to move, he even poured out absurd remarks to the common people that he was not working because he was lazy.
Among them was the head of the Chagar family, who one day became a headless corpse.
And the one who cut off the head of the Chaggar family was none other than his son, Romus.
“I will reject my lineage! If these are nobles, then I myself will become a commoner and be with them! These disgusting things are not nobles, they are silverfish! Commoners, stand up!!”
Finally, a rebellion broke out around the Chagar Territory in the northern part of the kingdom.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the kingdom due to the Second Continental War, the rebellion of Romus Chagar and the northern commoners spread with great momentum in just a few days.
Although they are commoners, more than half of them have military service experience.
Those who were injured or lost comrades without receiving any compensation or social recognition.
Once their anger was released, it could be said that there was no force or nobility that could stop them in the place where Klaus and Yulia had already been swept away.
– Commoners, rise up! If we win this war, there is only a more miserable future than the demons! –
– Take our rights with our own hands! It must be recognized before the war is over! We are not dogs of nobles, but members of a proud kingdom! –
From the point of view of the nobles, it was absurd.
Commoners’ revolts had happened before, but most of them did not last less than a year.
All they could do was revolt in a way that they couldn’t stand the rage of the moment and murdered the supervisor or were afraid of being captured and taken to the lord’s castle.
This time it was different from the beginning, the ringleader was a nobleman, not a commoner.
Not even an illegitimate child or bastard, but a direct descendant officially recognized as the son of the family.
The nobles rebelled against the nobles and led the commoners in rebellion.
This was something that should never have happened in their thoughts of government.
The commoners are always foolish and foolish, so they have to listen to the nobles and follow what the nobles teach them, but the nobles instigated the rebellion, which set a ‘precedent’ that the nobles feared and hated more than anything else. .
They had to order a subjugation immediately, but it is not easy to find even one soldier.
Most of the soldiers were dispatched to the center and the south, and the rest were guarding each castle.
Those who could afford it were fighting the demons who had jumped into the kingdom before, and all became cold corpses on the battlefield, rolling on the ground.
You shouldn’t be silent, but the reality that you have to be silent because you have no choice.
His only wish was for the reinforcements of the fairies and beastmen to arrive soon.
“The nobles are silent! It’s a great opportunity! Let’s show our fury to those vicious ones!”
Everyday life was completely ruined by the war.
In addition, even the hero of the past called Klaus returned as the worst enemy.
The nobles couldn’t even properly defend themselves until the end and only watched internal violence.
The number of commoners who stood up together with Romus Chagar’s rebellion increased everywhere.
As the situation worsens, the flames of rebellion in the north may spread to the central region.
The nobles were so frightened that they were even more busy defending their lands and castles.
Rather, the castle guard was neglected, but at that timing, Klaus headed to the Marquis of Kienmeyer, so the castle could be said to be safe.
That’s when everything goes to the worst.
Finally, the help that the nobles of the kingdom had been waiting for so long arrived.
“I didn’t expect you to come back here so quickly.”
“Let’s go. Apparently, the front line that started from the border is also unstable, but it is said that the demon army broke through the forest and came to the rear of the kingdom, causing tremendous damage.”
“Surely our rangers must have been on a watertight vigilance…”
“It is said that the famous war hero, Klaus, was among the enemies.”
When his name came up, the fairies let out a saliva.
He is a man who has even won victories against over 30,000 enemies with over a thousand.
It wouldn’t have been too difficult for Klaus to break through the Great Forest and defeat allied Rangers.
Of course, the reinforcements that entered the kingdom were not the only fairies.
Beast warriors who are said to never be defeated by demons in single combat.
They finally entered the kingdom in numbers well over 10,000.
“… Klaus, an excellent fighter. Our inmates are also recognizing it. It’s a little regretful that such a man has become an enemy, but at the same time, thinking that he can fight that person makes my heart pound.”
“It is said that Klaus and the demon king are stirring up the kingdom. If done well, I think we will be able to meet on the battlefield and fight an honorable battle.”
The moment when the fairy side reinforcements and beastmen warriors stepped on the land of the kingdom.
Instead of a welcome greeting, they were greeted by an ambush by northern rebels.
From the point of view of fairies and beastmen, it was absolutely absurd.
The rebels, whose flames were rising, had no time to see such a thing.
Rather, those fairies and beastmen thought they were trying to maintain the kingdom’s system.
They judged that the forces that would threaten them in the future were clear, so they launched an attack.
After all, aren’t you guys on the same team as those damn nobles?
In order to maintain their system, did not they appear in the kingdom pretending to be righteous?
“What the hell are these things?”
“It seems that they are rebels who are said to have risen in the kingdom.”
“What is the reaction of the Kingdom Noble Union to these responses?”
“We have already nailed it as a rebellion, but it seems we can’t deal with it because we don’t have troops.”
“Stupid humans. Even these people can’t handle it. The very word union is ridiculous.”
They came to help at best, but they are attacked, so of course their anger rises to the sky.
So, the allied forces of fairies and beastmen began literally slaughtering the rebels in an instant.
Although they were rebels who knew the terrain well and resisted, their opponents were beasts who were strong in the field, and fairies who were excellent at guerrillas.
Most of them were subjugated in an instant, and the rebel army, which boasted tremendous power, shrank in an instant.
And Romus Chagar, who was the center of it, also went missing, and someone said he was caught up in the whirlwind of battle and died at once, and someone else said he ran away cowardly.
In any case, the kingdom did not dare to touch the rebellion, but it was a foreign race that was destroyed.
The nobles were enthusiastic, saying that thanks to it, they could breathe, but the commoners, who were suffering under it even today, despaired when the flames of resistance, which were no different from their only hope, were extinguished.
You don’t know how harsh the price will be waiting for you later on using the rebellion as an excuse.
Just like the last time, the kingdom won the war, so I thought it would be beneficial.
In the meantime, rumors spread that the Marquis of Kienmeyer had suddenly surrendered to the Demon King.
Of course, the aristocrats are in total chaos, and what about the commoners? And tilted his head.
Following Klaus, even the Marquis of Kienmeyer, who was said to be the noblest among nobles.
Why did all of them surrender to the lord of the demons who had fought so much before?
Questions continued one after another, and at some point, vague hostility and anger gradually turned into curiosity for no reason.
This atmosphere was felt not only by the nobles, but also by the fairies and beastmen who came to the kingdom to support them.
They just suppressed the rebellion, but the eyes from all over the kingdom were not good.
It would take one decisive victory to overturn this once and for all.
Yes, that kind of great victory that wipes out the demon king and the traitors of the kingdom at once.
“Perhaps this is the perfect place for a giant slalom.”
Even Klaus is secretly wary of the powerful allied forces of fairies and beasts.
They sped up and crashed into the plains right in front of the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
Right here, they began to form formations as if they were going to decide the game, and soon Julia’s demon cavalry and infantry volunteers from Kienmeyer’s side appeared on the plain.
