Chapter 275 – First Battle Outside #4
“Buril, go and organize the battlefield with the kids. I’ll collect only the things I need and take them.”
“What about the body?”
“Gather them in one place. We have to burn them.”
There are no survivors anyway.
So here, it would be better to cremate the body than to leave it unattended. That way, humans will see you as a benevolent monarch. Surprisingly, this work is very important.
Showing off is very important.
“Neckri. Go and clean up the battlefield with the goblins, too.”
“Yes I will.”
Looted in such a way. It’s a pity to have a crippled or dead horse, but what can I do? What must be done to subdue the cavalry.
Still, things like armor, weapons, and equipment were very good. These cavalry bastards are well-armed. Even so, without the barding, there is nothing you can do against the pixies.
Hehe.”
After all, looting makes money, right?
How much would it be if only the armor of the corpses were removed?
“But horse meat is a bit wasteful.”
Serinyu, standing next to him, said.
“That’s right. Honestly, it’s a waste.”
“How am I going to keep just a few? Look there. There are still live horses. I want to eat horse meat.”
“Hmm… Just looking at it, it looks like my legs are sprained.”
It’s in a state of being broken while hesitating hard. Can I move? The weight of the horse alone would be hundreds of kilos. It sounds like it would be difficult to lift and move.
“Wouldn’t it be fine if we only brought something that we could walk on? We can go and eat anyway.”
“Yes. That’s also true. Then go and pick out horses that the pixies can move. Let’s lead them well and eat them.”
“Yes!”
You can’t waste meat.
Anyway, as long as you have a leg injury, the horse is over. Try to move it as much as possible while you can and take it to the castle. Then you can enjoy the horse meat party.
For those of us who have lived in the jungle, meat is food that can never be wasted.
“I’m going to go coat it in flour and fry it! I love that!”
“Does this guy know the taste of fried food?”
It’s a pleasure to come here, but my men love fried food and bread. I’m praising the bread saying it’s really fucking delicious, and I also really like fried meat coated in flour.
When I see you like that, I want to take care of you more.
ㅡ Booung!
The pixies flew in and began to search the horses. In the meantime, the goblins sorted all the corpses.
ㅡ Hurray.
I set fire to it.
“To think that you make up those magicians! It seems that Cules-sama is very generous!”
As I was doing it roughly, Anna approached me and said that. Look Can you do a reputation work like this just by giving me makeup?
For humans in this world, cremation is the most basic form of burial. It can be seen as an act of honoring the corpse.
This is because the neglected corpse becomes a prey for insects as it decays ugly. I learned from Reika that I wear make-up at all times because it is dishonorable.
“It’s just cremation while the body is visible. Wouldn’t it be cleaner that way?”
“Yes, but it is certainly merciful to cremate the corpses of such scoundrels.”
Hehe, since you said that, it seems like that. Well, but the saintess also said to respect the dead. No matter what happens, as long as you’re dead, you’re still a dead person. I’m just following those teachings.”
Here, he appeals as a knight who follows the saintess well. This will give you more trust.
Let’s see.
Like Angelica, the young lady should be seduced and eaten after losing her cognitive abilities.
“I see…! The saintess seems to be merciful too!”
“That’s why she’s a saint.”
Anna Hammins.
This young lady seemed to have great fantasies about the saintess. So, he must have heard the rumors and brought her subordinates right away. Even though she has never seen a saint in person, she is like this because of her reputation.
Anyway, with that being said, the battlefield arrangements were over.
“Okay! Buri! It’s going to be a bit difficult, but I’m marching to the wagon with the equipment I’ve packed!”
“Keruk!
“You should eat!”
“Then I will do my best to go! Keruk!”
Let’s go and have a horse meat party!
* * *
On the way, she listened to the story of the young lady.
“Hmm… Are you saying that Count Hamins has completely passed over to the angels?”
“Yes. Unfortunately, that’s the situation.”
Count Hamins is said to be a nobleman with great power. However, it seems that he has stuck with the angels in this power game.
“I fell in love with the angels and became completely attached to them… Knowing their viciousness, I couldn’t agree with them. That’s why I led my followers and tried to escape.”
“Okay.”
It is as the saintess said.
Despite being an aristocratic family, not all members of the family share the same views. Even if the head of the household is attached to an angel, the children under it may have other thoughts.
However, most of the Hamins family were attached to angels. So, it is said that only the 4th daughter, Anna Young lady, escaped with her subordinates.
It must have been hard.
“Angels are not normal. Their wickedness is unspeakable. To be attached to such angels, the family lord may have calculated that by adding strength to the angels to further increase the size of the family, but the angels fulfilled that promise. I can’t keep it.”
Lady Anna made a very accurate judgment. Angels come to rule humans. There was no way he could keep his promise to a human aristocrat.
“This is an accurate judgment. The angels can’t keep their promise. If everything goes according to the angels’ plan, all humans who followed the angels will be abandoned.”
“That’s right! You know Cules-sama very well!”
“Because the saintess was actually pursued by the angels. It is very clear that they are an evil force.”
In a war of this kind, it is likely wise to stick with the stronger side. But not angels. They, like me, are the ones who came to rule this world.
Even in a more radical way.
It’s so extreme that the nuns follow me.
“Whoa… I see. The saintess must have had a really hard time too.”
“That’s why I will gladly accept the young lady’s help. And didn’t the young lady rescue the nuns?”
When I praised her for her achievement, a smile appeared on Lady Anna’s face.
“Of course. The angels who have swallowed the Goddess Church will not forgive the normal nuns. So we must rescue them as much as we can.”
“Good job.”
He joined the nuns he met on the way and came all the way here.
“Still, I see hope. If the goddess cult’s saintess is alive and well, people with normal thoughts will surely gather here. Then we will be able to defeat the angels.”
“That’s it! The saintess wants that too!”
Rumors have already spread!
If you accept the deserted nobles in this way and increase your strength, you will be able to defeat the angels!
* * *
After returning, the subordinates who participated in the battle were granted a combat holiday, and the work was handed over to the guys who were on standby in the field.
And the young lady and the nuns were brought into the castle, and the foot soldiers she brought were made to stay at an inn in the manor.
Soldiers made up of human males… They are difficult for me to directly control. That’s why I’ll have to direct it indirectly through the young lady.
Well, and the human executives were convened and a brief meeting was held.
“You did really well. The daughter of Count Hamins. She will be able to help us further increase our power.”
“That’s right, saintess! Please go and cook it well!”
In the first place, the young lady had great trust in the saintess. What if, in such a state, not having heard the good words from the saintess end up lying on the bed with me?
To be her subordinate.
“But the nuns are here again.”
“Yes. These are the nuns of the Goddess Church in other provinces. They are all in good shape as expectedhehe.”
“If you look at this young sister, she’s only thinking about eating.”
“Because I have to. How strong my power has become.”
“Come to think of it.”
Vanessa said.
“We need to measure how strong you have become.”
“Ah.”
Come to think of it, I’ve never really measured my personal fighting ability. It was obvious that the amount of magic power had increased anyway, so he didn’t pay attention to it.
And even if I’m stronger, I’m the supreme commander. I wouldn’t go out and fight myself, so I wasn’t training in individual combat these days.
“Shall we try it when we get a chance?”
“That’s good. No matter how much you are a commander, you must have the power to protect yourself. Whether it’s swordsmanship or magic. If you can use it well, wouldn’t it be useful somewhere?”
“It is.”
Wow.
Reminds me of the old days
At that time, I fought really well with only one demon breath. Well then, I’m going to try to measure combat power soon.
“First of all, saintess? I’ll call the nuns and the young lady to the restaurant. Let’s have a meal together and talk. After that, I’ll pick you up in the middle.”
“I see.”
First of all, since the young lady came from outside, she must have that much information. Right now, we don’t know the details of the angels’ situation. It is clear that the Young Ae’s testimony will work very well.
“Then I’ll go down first.”
“Ah. Reika-sama? Reika-sama, please bring the other nuns down and welcome them.”
“Okay.”
I should be prepared to violate the young lady and the nuns.
