Chapter 131 – 131. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
131. Maehwa sword reincarnated in the count family
“I am succeeding the chieftain. Older brother.”
Pesus pulled out the sword that stabbed Ehans. Blood drips onto the ground.
I looked at the situation with interest. Pessus Notley. This is a character from the original story. He is the younger brother of Ehans, but the relationship between his brothers was not so good.
“Eh, what is this… ! Why are you doing this in this situation!”
“I have only lived 100 years. I didn’t even live half my life. Please understand. Older brother. I want to live even if I become a slave to that human.”
“Become a slave! Don’t you know what that means?!”
“I know. The education we received when we grew up was the history of the Dwarves. Dwarves were once slaves of humans.”
“Are you saying that you would become a slave without knowing it!”
“It’s still better than dying. When you die, it’s all over. Older brother. We live longer than humans. In time, the opportunity to free yourself from slavery will come. Dwarves have a history of slavery, but that is only part of their history.”
“Crazy man! If you are an honorable Dwarf, you must fight to the end! The Frost Hammer Clan will not live as slaves!”
Ehans raised the blue hammer, the symbol of the Frost Hammer tribe, and prepared to wield it.
Pesus swung his sword faster than that and cut off Ehans’ arm. The arm holding the hammer fell to the floor.
“Aagh! This guy! Pesus!”
Ehans sat down on the floor. He was already mortally wounded just by being stabbed with a sword, and even his arm was cut off. The reason he is still alive is probably thanks to the Dwarf’s unique and tenacious vitality.
“Older brother. Stop taking a break You will die as a dwarf, not as a slave. Isn’t this the situation you wanted so much?”
Pessus threw away his sword and raised the frost hammer from the floor. He tossed Hans’s arm, still gripping his handle, and gripped the handle of the frost hammer.
“Pesus! If you think that because you kill me, the tribesmen will recognize you as their chief, you are very mistaken! Put down the frost hammer! You don’t deserve it!”
“Who else would pick up a frost hammer if not me. It doesn’t matter whether the tribesmen acknowledge me or not. The important thing is the intention of the master.”
I was amazed. Pesus is already calling me master. Attitude change is very fast. I knew from the original that he was a mean guy, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent.
“Advisor! Advisor Malef!”
Ehans called Maleph, a dwarf wizard who was watching the situation quietly by his side.
“Yes. Sir Ehans.”
“What are you doing! Help me quickly! Hurry up and use your magic to kill my crazy brother, Pessus!”
“That seems difficult. Mr Ehans. It would be faster for the Pesus chieftain to swing the frost hammer at me than for me to use magic.”
“Chief of Pessus?! Are you insane? Advisor!”
Ehans was astonished. It seems that he didn’t think about Malef’s betrayal until the end.
“Chief Pessus is right. Is there anything else we have to resist here other than death? Death leaves nothing behind. It’s better to live as Noe and peek at the opportunity. We cannot live forever in a refuge called paradise.”
“Maleph! Isn’t that different from before?!”
“It is a basic virtue to be equipped as an advisor to respond differently depending on the situation.”
“Hey, these guys! I’ll be quiet… Whoops!”
His face turned red and he shouted as Hans fell to the floor with a short scream. He doesn’t move, so he must be dead.
Pessus looked at Maleph with a wary gaze.
“Advisor. Will you follow me?”
“Chief of Pessus. Your choice is right. I acknowledge that you are the rightful heir to the Frost Hammer.”
“Also. An advisor is a person with an awake mind.”
“It is my job to give the right advice.”
I swallowed a blank laugh.
Appropriate advice? Not a proper flattery?
Anyway, the situation was good for me, so I decided to watch it in silence.
‘Five minutes have already passed. I can’t control the golem.’
I wasn’t worried. The situation has already ended with our victory. Even if there were no golems, there were currently less than 50 Dwarves who could move. If Yuria and I joined together, defeating the dwarves would be no task.
Pesus, holding the frost hammer firmly, stepped forward and spoke to the dwarves.
“Listen! I have become a proper chieftain of the Frost Hammer Clan! All tribesmen lay down their weapons and kneel! We will survive even as slaves!”
Naturally, there was bound to be a backlash.
“Don’t be ridiculous! You disgusting idiot! The one who killed his brother! Who will admit it!”
“Pesus! I saw all your atrocities! You don’t deserve it!”
“We would rather die than live as slaves!”
Not everyone was against it. About 20 people. Those dwarves shouted and pointed their swords at Pessus, not at me.
It seems he can’t forgive Pessus for killing the chieftain more than me for trying to enslave the dwarves.
“Huh. Don’t you know that you covet the Frost Hammer! I am the rightful leader of the Frost Hammer clan! Advisor Malef! Use your magic! They are foolish traitors who do not think of the future of their tribe!”
“That’s right. Frost Hammer’s new master! Fireball!”
Malef’s fireball hits the same dwarf. The body of one dwarf was engulfed in flames.
“Aaaaagh!”
With a terrible scream, the dwarf staggered over and fell to the floor.
I saw the dwarves preparing for battle.
‘This. I don’t like this flow.’
My purpose is to enslave them. Just a moment ago, I was going to kill some of them because of the management, but I wanted to save the dwarves as much as possible as an excellent manager called Pessus appeared.
“Stop! You guys are my precious possessions! I can’t forgive you guys for fighting and dying at will.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! Human! Who said I’d be your slave!”
The Dwarf protested.
Gripping support.
Lightning gathered in my grasp wriggling menacingly.
“You are already done. Decided to be my slave. Just keep quiet and accept your fate. Yuria. Knock out those who protest.”
“Yes. Master.”
The dwarves rushed.
I threw thunderbolts at the dwarves and discharged them. The electrocuted Dwarves fell to the ground helplessly.
•••
The center of the plaza of the Frost Hammer clan village. I sat down on the large and fancy chair Pesus and Maleph had prepared and looked down at the dwarves kneeling in front of me.
A total of 88 people.
The total number of dwarves of the Frost Hammer tribe currently alive, and the slaves I have acquired.
More than half of them are looking at me with defiant eyes. Those who were especially rebellious had their arms bound with chains. Whether it is false to say that dwarves are a race of artisans, they created a chain in just 30 minutes. It looked like a roughly made iron chain, but when I touched it, it was quite hard.
‘The interesting thing is that there is more hatred towards Pessus than towards me.’
It seems that he was more angry at Pessus for killing the chieftain and usurping the position than I was for enslaving them.
‘It’s fortunate for me. The stronger the enmity towards Pesus and Malef, the easier it is to manage.’
Pessus and Malef chose me over their own tribesmen. He would have thought that was more promising, and he was right. I intend to have them rule the Frost Hammer clan.
“Pasus Notlay, chieftain of the Frost Hammer Clan and his faithful slave, salutes his master. This dagger is the best sword in town. I will dedicate this to my master.”
Pessus poses politely and holds out a dagger to me. As I nodded, YuRia, who was standing next to me, grabbed the dagger and handed it to me.
“This… Well. Nice What is your name?”
“This is the Eradicator. It is a dagger that Ehans, the previous chieftain, made 20 years ago.”
I picked up my dagger and looked around. The blade was sharpened to the point where you could feel the anticipation, and the hilt and hilt were studded with jewels, making it look very glamorous. It can even be used as an ornament.
The unusual thing is that the blade is quite long for a dagger. However, it is too short to be called a short sword.
‘I’m not very attracted to daggers.’
Right now I’m using a dagger, but the Hwaryeonbido fits my hand better. Before long, your body will grow big enough to use the Hwaryeonbido.
“Yuria. You write.”
“…… Can I use such a great sword?”
A dwarf-made dagger. Among them, it is even called a famous sword. Dwarves who are picky about things would recognize it as a famous sword, so its value must be enormous.
“It’s okay. You will use the dagger more than I do.”
I gave up the dagger neatly. Even if there is anyway, it is clear that it will not be used well.
“Thank you, I will write well. Master.”
Responding to her greeting with a nod, I stood up.
“Pesus. Since you presented me with excellent things, it would be my duty to give you something as well.”
I said it out loud on purpose. In this case, you have to be courteous.
Look That Pessus also has a happy face.
‘He’s a guy who knows how to do politics.’
The important thing is not what I give you. It is the fact that things were given away. If you think about it, it also means that I treat Pesus differently than other dwarves.
“Oh oh… ! It is an honour. Master!”
I took things out of my inventory.
It was a whip.
“That….”
Pesus’ face hardened. She probably didn’t know it was a whip.
“I will tell you the power of this whip.”
I swung her whip at the pessus. The whip hit Pessus’ right shoulder precisely.
Squash!
“Quaaaaagh!”
The pessus let out a tearing scream and rolled across her floor.
“Don’t be shy, wake up. Pesus. Are you thinking of disappointing me?”
“Oh, no… ! Master!”
Pesus arose. He is looking at me with eyes quivering with fear.
I raised my index finger and pointed at Pesus’ right shoulder.
“Look at your shoulders.”
“… Unbelievable! No wounds!”
“Its name is the Whip of Pain. Those struck by this whip do not get hurt. Instead, you will only suffer.”
I said solemnly.
Whip of pain. It’s something that came out of a random draw sometime. The price is 15 points, which is relatively cheap compared to the effect.
“Oh oh…. Wow, that’s a great thing… !”
“Pesus. You would have noticed why I handed you this scourge of pain.”
“I guess. Master wants me to take care of the Frost Hammer tribesmen.”
“Right.”
He is the one who kills his brother to live. He dared to confirm that he had a desire for power by becoming a chieftain. Dealing with the Pesus will not be difficult.
‘If you want power, give it. Even if that’s the king of slaves.’
Power is power. As long as Pessus does not covet higher power, he will not betray you.
“You are the Chief of the Frost Hammer Clan and the slave manager. And Malef. You should help Pesus.”
“This Malef. I will do my best to assist the Pesus chief.”
“You two are not slaves. Don’t forget that fact.”
Pesus and Maleph are those who would rather be the head of a serpent than the tail of a dragon.
Of course, I have no intention of completely trusting these guys.
‘I’ll have to trick one of the slaves into planting a watcher.’
Pessus and Maleph bowed deeply toward me.
“Thank you. Master! I will never disappoint you.”
“I will do my best!”
Afterwards, I forcibly fed the dwarves with whole ship poison.
Just because these guys swear allegiance in front of me, I’m not the one who will readily believe them. What I believe in is the warship poison made by Yuria, not their oath.
“Take it. It’s all ten poison. If you do not take the antidote within ten days, you will die.”
“… You don’t have to use this poison….”
“You don’t want to eat?”
When I asked back, Pesus and Malef quickly shook their heads. They will know what will happen to them if they refuse this.
“… I will eat.”
I confirmed with my own eyes that all 88 dwarves were poisoned.
Now these guys have no choice but to obey my orders in order to survive.
“I will give you the first order.”
