Chapter 40 – The Hero Captured the Garrison Captain
“Can I leave it like this?”
In the woods near the Butler estate.
Marian asked as she watched me tie Talion to a nearby tree.
I glanced at Talion at Marian’s question.
He was grunting wildly with a dissatisfied expression on his face.
An expression as if he could barely tie himself with a knot like this.
Curiously, from a certain moment, Talion started to look more and more like a human.
Especially, when I see that happy expression every time I burn Marian, I get a fever for nothing.
“Well, since he’s a divine beast, he should be able to protect himself.”
“But do I really need to leave Talion behind?”
“It stands out too much.”
That’s how I answered Marian’s question.
It was the same with the horns that had grown a lot now, but basically, Talion was a white horse with good pedigree that Genoa, the daughter of the Grand Duke, cherished.
A white horse with no tangles was not common, and there was a high possibility that opponents would be wary just by riding Talion.
I wanted to look at the situation in the Butler estate without revealing that I was a hero, and to do so, I needed to hide Talion.
“Anyway, we’re almost there. If you walk a little, you will come to the wall, so be patient.”
I said that to Marian and started walking through the woods.
Marian looked at Talion with a sad expression, and quickly followed me and asked.
“Have you ever been here?”
Having been here in a previous life anyway, I knew that Butler Castle would be visible as soon as I got out of the woods.
But at this time, of course, it’s normal that I don’t know.
I was hesitant about how to answer Marian’s question, but that thought didn’t last long.
“Why, why are you like this?”
It was because a puzzled female voice came from one side of the forest.
I signaled Marian to be quiet and cautiously approached the sound.
“Why are you asking because you don’t know? Didn’t you know everything when you came here too?”
“I-I just said that if you help me with the work, I will give you something to eat.”
Marian and I headed towards the sound, and soon we saw the picture we expected.
A man dressed as a soldier in the Butler estate confronts a woman who appears to be a refugee.
The woman was in a very frightened state, and the man who looked like a soldier was already loosening his pants.
“I-I didn’t know this. Please, just let it go.”
“Under. I came out of work because of you, but now you want to just do something that didn’t exist?”
“I’m sorry, I really didn’t think this was going to happen… “
The woman, who appeared to be a refugee, said to the soldier with a frightened expression.
I could help the woman right now, but I decided to observe the soldier’s actions for the time being.
The reason why I left Talion anyway was to check the atmosphere of the Butler estate.
However, it was because even if he didn’t have to go to the castle, he seemed to know roughly how the Butler estate was going through the soldier in front of him.
A soldier with a sinister expression took out a small loaf of bread from his pocket and began to shake it in front of the woman.
“Think carefully. If you have a good relationship with me, you will get something to eat like this, and if you do well, you might even let me into the castle, right?”
“That, like that…”
“So, do your best, and if you really satisfy me, you might let me into the castle?”
At the soldier’s words, the woman looked at him with a troubled expression.
The soldier’s words of her that she could enter the castle must have been a hard condition for a woman to refuse.
“Is that really possible?”
“Okay. Everyone in the castle was evacuated anyway, so there are many empty places. As long as you go inside, you can live in any house.”
“… That, the empire doesn’t accept refugees, right?”
“Under. You sound naive. Hey, why did all the young and pretty women among the refugees disappear? Is that how everyone entered the castle?”
At the soldier’s words her, as if the woman had finished her troubles her, she slowly began to take off her clothes her.
One by one, clothes in a slightly different form from those worn by the imperials began to fall to the floor.
The soldier who saw this was seen laughing like an idiot.
Perhaps, as the soldier said, all the pretty and young women had already entered the castle.
Because the naked body of the refugee woman who was undressing in my eyes was not even worth seeing.
Her body her, which she had not been able to eat properly due to the sudden evacuation, was skinny and full of stains all over her body her, probably because she had n’t washed for a long time.
I looked to the side as I tried to step forward with a disinterested look on my face.
It was because I was curious about what kind of expression our voyeur saintess was looking at this scene.
‘…It’s a bit different from what I expected.’
Marianne was looking at the woman and the soldier with a very displeased expression.
I was just holding on because I was still.
Just by looking at his expression her, it seemed as if he wanted to run out and beat the soldier to death.
When I belatedly recalled her Marianne’s birthplace her, I finally understood why she reacted that way.
The current situation must have been strangely stimulating her memory of her.
‘Well, there’s nothing more to hear.’
Judging that I had heard all the information the soldier needed, I immediately got up.
Just as the excited soldier rushed toward the woman, I kicked him in the side without thinking.
“Who, who are you!”
The soldier who had been hit on the side and rolled on the floor hurriedly got up and shouted at me.
I smiled at him and replied:
“Just a person in charge.”
**
“Really, it’s a piece of shit.”
The area near the walls of the Butler Manor was literally a mess.
The appearance of the wall was quite grand and beautiful, but under it, refugees who had arrived a long time ago were sitting on a mat-like cloth.
In front of the far-off wall, soldiers with sharp spears were glaring at the refugees, and new refugees who wanted to enter the castle at all costs were snooping in front of the gate, watching them.
And the moment Marian and I appeared, all eyes were on us.
No wonder, because a soldier with a disfigured face from being beaten to death was walking in front of us without pants and carrying a monstrous object.
“Walk straight, huh? Put your hands on your head properly so everyone can see.”
I stabbed the soldier in the back with the tip of the knife, and as I said that, he straightened his back again as if he was frightened.
“Captain!”
Finally, one of the soldiers who recognized him shouted.
I thought he was just a low-end soldier, but he seemed to have a position.
The guy started screaming and screaming, his face flushed red at the words of the soldiers.
“What are you all doing? Don’t hold on to these bastards!”
Is it because I met my subordinates? The man who had been frightened just a moment ago exclaimed with enthusiasm.
I looked at him with a puzzled expression.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was faster for my sword to pierce his belly than for the soldiers to come running and surround us.
Even so, he shouted as if he could n’t even count that simple calculation, and his soldiers followed that order and began to surround Marian with me.
“He is crazy. What if I stab you like this?”
At my words, the bare-chested soldier flinched.
He seems to have a good understanding of his situation.
But still, in front of his subordinates his, he shouted at me quite confidently, as if he wanted to show off his bluff his.
“If you stab me, you will die too. If you don’t intend to go to war with the Butler estate, release me right now!”
In fact, the more I looked at him, the more I couldn’t help but laugh.
Looking at the general reaction of the soldiers, I thought I was a guy like the captain of the garrison at the castle gate, but it seemed that I was mistaken as if I was a great person.
“Why are you fighting a war with Yeongji?”
“What, what?”
“And if you let go, won’t you do something that never happened?”
He said that with his face blushing, as if he was stingy with my words.
It seems that the soldiers also figured out that the situation was going strangely.
They surrounded us with spears in their hands, but their faces were undecided on what to do.
“Who are you, are you threatening our captain?”
At least one of the soldiers, who looked a bit older, asked me that.
I glanced at him and slowly stabbed the defense commander in the butt with the tip of my sword.
“This son of a bitch was trying to intimidate the refugee woman and satisfy her her desire her, so I caught her her. Are there any problems?”
At my words, the refugees who were observing the situation began to mutter.
They wouldn’t be blind either, so they wouldn’t be completely unaware of what was going on at the Butler estate.
No, I couldn’t know the truth.
I shouted once again at the fussy refugees.
“Anyone who wants can come out and beat this guy until his temper is gone. Judging by the way he speaks, it seems like he’s got a grudge here and there.”
However, despite my words, there were no refugees who came forward easily.
It was because they would have been afraid to start a dispute with someone who belonged to the territory, even though their gaze toward the garrison commander was not good.
It couldn’t have been the first time a garrison commander had done something like this.
That’s why the guy’s attitude of intimidating women seemed very familiar.
That said, there might be friends, family, and even lovers of the women who were beaten by him.
Even so, I sighed lightly when I saw the refugees with no one stepping forward.
‘Ha, worms.’
