Chapter 651 – 651. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
651. Maehwa sword reincarnated in the count family
There are nomads in this world.
Those who have been evicted from a safe city or village. Or those who ran away on their own. Those who had no choice but to lose their place to live due to the damage of the last war, etc.
These nomads could not settle down in villages or cities even if they wanted to. This is because the people of this world regard wanderers as a kind of savages, despising them and fearing them.
Even from the position of the lord, he is reluctant to accept wanderers as territories. Most of the wanderers are poor, so they don’t have the ability to pay taxes right away, and their personality is very rough, causing friction with the existing territories. And nomads run away because they don’t want to pay taxes.
Wanderers continue to wander. Every place in this world worth living in is the land of the owner. There was no way the owner would see a nomadic village settling on his territory without paying taxes. If left alone, they will grow exponentially and feel anxious that they may try to overthrow the territory.
‘My target is these vagabonds.’
Capture wanderers and forcibly conscript them. As much as wandering around this world where monsters exist, the skills of wanderers are guaranteed to be at least basic. It is best to endure as a soldier.
Woo woo woo!
A horn is heard. I looked at Ploy through the carriage window.
“Did the knights who ran first blow?”
“Lord. It is not our trumpet sounding.”
“It’s the trumpet of the nomads. There are over 300 enemies, is that okay?”
“You are ignoring us too much. It’s okay to have three times that.”
Ploy smiled confidently. In fact, that’s what I just did. In this world, a knight is a superman. Even more so, he was a knight riding a horse and wearing armor and weapons made by the Dwarves. If you put your mind to it, 10 knights could wipe out 300 nomads within 30 minutes.
I changed my clothes in the slow-moving carriage.
As time passed, the sounds of battles reached my ears.
Chaeeng. Visor. The sound of blades clashing and human screams can be heard. The sound of battle diminished as they got closer. When the carriage finally stopped, no sound was heard.
I left the maids lying around and got off the carriage.
Around 300 nomads surrounded by knights kneel on the ground and look up at me. I laughed at the hostility and fear in their eyes and looked around.
I see houses made of tents that can be moved at any time like nomads. A few livestock were also seen, including horses and goats.
“Lord. I have prepared a chair.”
Ploy said politely. It’s because there are other people’s eyes that are different from usual. I sat in the fancy chair she had prepared for me. It looks nice from the outside, but it’s a little uncomfortable when you sit down.
“I am Baron Eugene Prouckus.”
Revealed my name There is agitation in the eyes of the wanderers. This is because, broadly speaking, it was the domain of the Purcus family.
“Who is your representative?”
“That’s me.”
A large man kneeling in front of me got up. His clothes were soaked in blood, and his muscles were visible through the torn clothes. His skin was dark and his eyes were beaky.
Ploy, who stood guard, drew his sword and aimed it at the man’s neck.
“That’s rude. Who told you to stand up?”
“…….”
As if it were natural, the man couldn’t say anything and broke out in a cold sweat as the sword formed on the blade.
“Ploy. Back off You know it won’t hurt me anyway.”
“Yes. Lord.”
Ploy lowered his sword and came back to me. The man stroked his neck with the palm of his hand and looked at Ploy’s eyes. It seemed that he was aware of Ploy’s skills.
“What is your name?”
“I am Roksher, the head of Katong.”
Katong seems to be the name of this nomadic group. It was cold. The name of the nomadic village is not important at all.
“You look like you have something to say to me. Allow it for just one minute. Say what you want to say.”
Anyway, what Rokshere has to say is decided. On his knees, with his head on the ground, begging for his life, hoping for a little mercy from me.
My plan is to be merciful when they beg and accept them as my people. And they conscript men who have no limbs. A brilliant plan to not only gain troops, but also increase the population!
However, the words that came out of Rokshere’s mouth were beyond my expectations.
“Our Katong has a special relationship with the High Terrier Mercenary Corps. The high-terrier mercenary’s executive, Moucher, is my older brother. And Katong’s other brothers are also active as high-terrier mercenaries.”
I’ve heard of the High Terrier Mercenary Corps. It is the largest mercenary group active in the area. It is said that there are over 1,000 members of the mercenary group alone.
“…… By the way?”
“Please release us. We didn’t know that this place was Pruckus Manor. We are nomads. Have mercy and I will withdraw from this place right now. A few members of Katung died, but we admit we were at fault. I will not hold grudge against the Pruckus family and the estate.”
“…….”
Her lips were opened, but no voice came out.
It was so ridiculous. My head is spinning and my hands and feet are shaking. Even I was well aware of the ruthless shaking of the pupils.
He wasn’t begging for my life right now, he was threatening me.
Roch Cher smiled confidently as I was too dumbfounded to speak and his hands and feet were shaking. He is mistaking that his own threats are working for me.
“Baron Purkus. It’s not too late. Have mercy on us. We are ready to accept the mercy of Baron Purkus and bless the future of Baron Purkus.”
“Things that don’t even know this subject!”
Bang!
Unable to contain his anger, he hit the chair with his fist. The armrest shattered and fell to the floor.
“Baron Purkus. Please think calmly.”
“… Good night. Think soberly as you wish.”
I thought soberly.
What is the reason why it is so open to me on the subject of wandering people? Although the high-terrier mercenary group is great, it is only a mercenary group after all. If the Pruckus family steps forward, the high terrier mercenaries can be eliminated. I’ll take a little loss, but….
‘Loss? It’s because they know that the soldiers can’t move recklessly because the war is right around the corner, and that the value of mercenaries is higher than ever.’
I met Roksher’s eyes. The fear I had before was gone. Not just Rokshere, but some of the others as well.
“Baron Eugene Prouckers. The High Terrier Mercenary Corps exerts a great influence in the mercenary world of Lapelli Kingdom. When war breaks out in the future, there will come a time when the help of mercenaries is absolutely necessary. Moreover, the baron is the one who should make a contribution in the war. Please calmly think about the future.”
I clicked my tongue. It seems that the story of the competition for the successor of Count Pruckus has been passed down to the nomads.
“He’s as big as a bear and talks like a fox.”
“We must wander like foxes.”
“Do you think I’ll be afraid of mercenaries?”
“I understand that the Baron and Count Pruckus are different.”
He also knew that I couldn’t carelessly move the soldiers and knights of Count Pruckus. I am well aware of the situation on the subject of wandering people. Maybe he cares more because he is a wanderer.
“But I don’t know why you are persecuting us all of a sudden. Do you mean His Excellency Count Purkus?”
Now they ask me why and argue. I laughed out loud.
“My father is not interested in things like you.”
“Is it the baron’s dogma?”
“I got permission from my mother. Permission for her to deal with the savages roaming the front yard.”
At the word barbarian, Roksher’s brows narrowed and then relaxed.
“Baron. Coolly. Do not lose your temper, think soberly, and have mercy on us.”
“I am cold. My head is colder than usual. So is my judgment. So be silent and accept it.”
Pointing at Rokshe with his index finger, he chewed and spit out.
“Cut off his arms and legs, and hang his torso on a wooden pole.”
“I will follow your orders.”
Ploy moved swiftly. Before Rokshere could react, her sword slashed both of Roksher’s legs.
“Aaaaagh!”
A terrible scream rang out. On the other hand, the mood of the others became quiet, as if they were sinking into the sea.
Ploy subsequently cut off both of her arms and stopped her bleeding by suspending the Roch Cher on a wooden pole brought by another exciter. Her actions came naturally like flowing water.
“Turn off… Ugh… Ugh….”
Roch Cher trembled at her. Fear fills the eyes that look at me again.
“I thought about it calmly. I’ve been thinking about it coldly, but I can’t get over your rudeness and insults. And I was less angry.”
My finger points to the man next to Rokshere. He was a bearded man in his thirties.
“Kill.”
“Yes. Lord.”
Ploy did not hesitate this time either. Ever since she became a knight, she has never refused my orders. As a lyricist, as well as my dick. Even if she was given dirty work like assassination, she did it without complaint. I don’t know if it’s the style of being blindly loyal to the original master, or if it was influenced by Yuria.
“Kill him too.”
“Yes.”
Each finger moved, one by one they died.
“Aaaaagh!”
One of the targeted men got up in surprise and tried to escape, but was caught and killed by the besieging knight.
“Save me, save me! Baron! All of Rokscherye’s statements are his own! We knew nothing!”
“Isn’t Roksher your representative? If you think it’s not Rokshere’s remark, you should have stopped it by hitting it. Die.”
“Quaaaaagh!”
I stopped after killing 30 people. Didn’t kill anyone I killed mainly those who showed hostility to me.
“Eugene Pruckus… ! You will regret it!”
“You must be regretting it now.”
“The High Terrier Mercenary Corps will not stand still!”
“The one who lost a limb has a loud voice. And do you think I will stay still?”
Maids rushed out of the wagon. They were all armed with guns and daggers. He had enough training in combat, so he could resist even if the nomads resisted.
“Start sorting.”
The maids moved. They first divided the wanderers into two categories.
Men and women.
In the case of males, all conscripts are conscripted unless they are too young or some kind of idiot. Iron necklaces representing slave soldiers were placed around their necks.
“Originally, I intended to be merciful to you. As a fifth-class citizen, I tried to accept them as my territories. However, after seeing your attitude, I changed my mind. Now you are quasi-citizens.”
Not a slave, but not a full citizen.
“You will live in a village I have made for you. If you hit the ball and become a 5th class citizen, you can escape the village. Well, I don’t know now.”
Originally, the plan was to release them to the city after roughly educating them. However, after seeing their attitude, I changed my mind.
These guys will now be treated like slaves and will struggle to become full citizens.
“Master. The first classification is over.”
Yuria approached and said. Behind her were six men and women tied to ropes.
“How many are there?”
“A total of 291 people. Among them, 140 are male, and 115 are eligible for military service. In the case of women, a detailed classification is left.”
“Who are the guys in the back?”
“They are Rokshere’s family.”
I looked at Roqueche, who had her mouth gagged. Seeing his family, he was looking at me with his eyes wide open.
“Town! Ugh! Town!”
“I have no intention of letting the man who insulted and threatened me live. Even the family, of course.”
In this world, it wasn’t common for a family member to be executed for defying a nobleman, but it did happen.
I personally took up my sword and approached Rokshere’s family. 1 old woman. 1 middle-aged woman. 1 young man. 3 male babies.
He decapitated an old woman believed to be Roch Cher’s mother and kicked her.
“Big! Ugh! Ughhh!”
Tears of blood flow from Rokshere’s bloodshot eyes. The blood vessels had burst.
“Do you regret it?”
“Town! Ugh!”
“You will regret it more.”
After killing all of Roksher’s family, I approached Roksher. After seeing all of his children die, Rokshere became quiet. However, bloody tears are still flowing from both eyes.
“Yes, that proud little brother will follow, so go first.”
The sword was lodged in Rokshere’s throat.
