Apocalypse Reconquest Chapter 121

Episode 121

Sheriff. Outlaws of the Wilderness.

A vigilante group that appears outside of Suwon’s environment and acts to punish those who have crossed the line in Suwon.

‘I thought we would meet on good terms since they were those kinds of people.’

All that came back was their rusted but shiny .45 caliber pistol.

If you think about it, the boss of Sorae Fisheries and the captain of the mercenary group also challenged Sehyuk to a fight as soon as they met.

This isn’t a game of winning streak or a team match.

It seems like he’s always eating well and challenging Sehyuk one after another.

“Do I look easy?”

Sehyuk muttered to himself with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“I guess it’s a bit like that, Sehyuk. You’re just a little taller. The people who came a few days ago, oh my, they were just like that.”

Although I wasn’t really expecting an answer, Cha Ye-seong, who was eating a bowl full of rice next to me and munching on it, answered.

Since creating the dimensional gate, Cha Ye-seong has been frequently going back and forth between the base and the water source through the small dragon’s teleportation.

“Those people may not be that old, but they really look like they’ve been through a lot. On the other hand, Se-hyeok is a relative newbie. A freshman in society?”

“You’re the freshman in society, you punk.”

“Me too, and Sehyuk too!”

This is a really unhelpful opinion.

As a perceptive Cha Ye-seong, this was clearly meant to be a joke.

I raised him well and now I’m getting such a cold evaluation. Maybe it’s true that raising a child is meaningless.

“You are certainly much younger than I expected. But whether you are young or old is of no concern to me.”

The man in the lead, with a beard and messy hair, the sheriff who appears to be the leader, declares while caressing his gun.

“The fact that Sorae Fisheries and the regressionists are trying to destroy the peace of Suwon that was in balance is absolutely unforgivable.”

Sehyuk, who had been listening to the story, thought about it and suddenly felt something strange in his words.

Sehyuk answered, slightly taken aback.

“Do you really think that the current situation where there are so many organized crime cults and the powerless are begging for their lives from innkeepers and mercenaries is truly peaceful?”

The sheriff quickly retorts to those words.

“Then, after Sorae Fisheries disappears, are you going to just let one side take control of Suwon and rule it as a dictator?”

That was true.

But Sehyuk didn’t always like that kind of thinking.

Sehyuk glared at the sheriff.

“Then why don’t you just treat everyone equally and pursue balance? You just watch the trash run wild and call it balance and peace.”

bang!

Sehyuk stood up, kicking the table hard.

“Yeah. Let’s play the game first, and then we’ll play the game later. It’s okay if I win anyway, right? That’s the rule of lawbreakers.”

An unmistakable annoyance wells up in Sehyuk’s eyes.

To the point where Cha Ye-seong, who was eating, glanced at Se-hyeok’s expression.

I’m starting to find it annoying to deal with them.

These are guys I don’t like.

So much so that I feel like giving it a little beating.

And the sheriff, although he is an outlaw, is a man who faithfully follows the rules he sets for himself.

He is a stubborn person who will not listen to anything until he beats the rules he has set.

‘So, first of all, we have to beat him up.’

Since ancient times, ratting has been Sehyuk’s specialty.

“Ah! The food is gone!”

“rice!”

Ignoring the grumbling Cha Ye-seong and the little dragon while eating, Se-hyeok roughly pushed the sheriffs away and went outside.

The sheriffs followed them out.

“It’s a hassle to go all the way to the arena, so let’s just fight in an open space.”

“good night.”

An empty lot near the inn.

A duel between two men unfolds against the backdrop of a sunset between mountains.

“What a nice view.”

Sehyuk didn’t answer.

‘Because they’re like concept junkies.’

Sehyuk and the sheriff stood facing each other.

The rest of the outlaws stood in a circle around him, watching.

“If I win, promise me that you will take only that much of the power that Sorae Fisheries used to have and that you will not engage in any more activities.”

“What happens if you don’t like it?”

“I will crush your forces just as you defeated the regressionists and invaded.”

“It’s brutal.”

Sehyuk immediately understood the meaning of those words.

This means that they will defeat the slightly stronger side and evenly divide the forces evenly.

“Then what will you do if I win?”

“There’s no chance of that. I’ve won everything so far.”

A lawbreaker leader seriously cleaning his gun.

It was a confident statement, and it had the weight of confidence to make it so, but Sehyuk just remained indifferent.

“Stop talking nonsense and answer the question.”

“Then I will leave you alone no matter what you do.”

“Okay. Check.”

Break!

Sehyuk drew his sword.

“Then let’s fight quickly.”

The sheriff also puts his gun on his waist and takes a stance.

A cowboy’s signature posture of letting go of his gun, turning his back to the sunset and staring intently at his opponent.

“I’m not trying to kill you, so how about we fight so that whoever gets hit first loses?”

“You have the gun, don’t you have too much of an advantage?”

“Then a classic duel would be good too.”

“No. Let’s just go ahead with it.”

One outlaw stands between the two.

“I’ll count the numbers, then you can start!”

Both nod.

One of the outlaws raises his gun into the air.

“3, 2, 1, start!”

bang!

A gunshot rings out, signaling the start of the duel.

bang!

Pakang!

As soon as it starts, sparks fly from the Sheriff Captain’s gun.

And as soon as the gunshot rang out, Sehyuk turned the sheriff’s captain’s chin.

* * *

The sheriff had no idea what had just happened.

I just fired one shot.

And in that split second, he was rolling around on the floor.

It is an attack that cannot be seen or felt.

A difference as vast as a wall.

What was even more unbelievable was that the young man with the blood still on his head was standing on his stomach with a blank expression on his face.

“Oh my, oh my, I can’t believe it!”

“Then that must be the extent of your skills.”

I can’t believe it, but I look at my fellow outlaws surrounding me, but they also have expressions of regret, sadness, and surprise.

* * *

“The balance of Suwon that has been maintained until now has fallen into someone’s hands….”

The sheriff laments.

“You’ve been doing well so far. It’s only natural that something like this will happen someday.”

One of the outlaws speaks sadly.

But Se-hyuk, who was listening to that story, was a little taken aback.

Lawbreakers who talk as if they are absolute beings who make and follow the rules.

“You all must have tried to make a better water source in the end. But….”

Sehyuk couldn’t agree with that.

“I do not believe that a balance of power achieved through compromise is true peace.”

Sehyuk reached out his hand to the fallen sheriff with a slightly frowning expression.

“I started the fight to restore this Suwon, which was full of all kinds of factional fighting and dirty thugs.”

“If you have righteous intentions, how about cooperating with me? Watch me closely. If I become corrupted, you can strike me.”

The sheriff looked at Sehyuk’s outstretched hand.

Then his face suddenly becomes distorted.

“Don’t lie!”

The sheriff continues to shout, undeterred.

“I don’t know about the others, but I can tell. As soon as the boss of Sorae Fisheries died, the mercenary group moved. There’s also evidence of contact with you.”

The sheriff stands up and dusts himself off.

He glared at Sehyuk.

“Do you not know that you are trying to take over the Suwon area?”

I felt it from the first time I saw it.

The sheriff’s eyes were strangely intense.

So much so that you can feel that he is a person full of his own beliefs.

“The best? Good. But the best becomes the worst if it fails. What will happen if those scumbags eat up all the water? I chose the lesser of two evils, not the worst.”

It all made logical sense.

He seems like a very insightful person.

However, Sehyuk realized one thing after experiencing two destructions.

It’s the smart-aleck people who do the most stupid things.

“Are you a coward? There are people from the inn here, and there are mercenaries. There are many healthy and powerful people.”

“what?”

The sheriff has his mouth shut tight and a murderous expression on his face.

Sehyuk pretended not to see and laughed at him.

“You fucking punk is choosing the lesser of two evils by just standing by and watching the thugs do this.”

Sehyuk said as if spitting out something.

“They don’t think about gathering people who take a neutral stance and joining forces to fight back. They’re just standing by and watching the gangsters kill people indiscriminately, like they’re in the Warring States period, calling it balance.”

The sheriff looks slightly taken aback by those words.

But he quickly returned to his original state.

“You know, right? You can’t save everyone!”

“Yeah, I guess so. But it’s annoying that I keep picking fights while pretending to be right, even though I know I can’t save everyone like that.”

“I never said I was right.”

“What are you talking about? What are you doing now if not a judge? I have the underlying belief that I am right, right? You are forcing rules and duels on me.”

The sheriff captain kept his mouth shut.

Sehyuk continued to lash out at those words.

“To be frank, if you didn’t open your mouth, then you’re only protecting your own people. How can a person save everyone?”

Putting the dimensional adjuster into his scabbard, Sehyuk glanced at the sheriffs.

It looks like he is not trying to get involved in the fight between the two.

“But I can’t stand it when I see someone wandering around alone, saying things like, ‘I’m doing my best, I’m the right person.’”

Neutral. If it’s your inevitable choice, I can understand.

However, I cannot tolerate the act of turning a blind eye to evil happening and then trampling on others by claiming I am doing the right thing.

“Are you really qualified to judge others?”

“Because that’s all I can do.”

The sheriff’s expression looks complicated.

The middle-aged man with a bushy beard and hair looked even older as he spoke those words.

Still, Sehyuk liked his last words.

Only then did the sheriff reveal his true feelings.

This is probably the best he could do.

Isn’t this better than the trash that says it’s time and gives it to others?

The moment Sehyuk half gave up and was about to send him away.

Salvation came from an unexpected place.

puck!

A woman appears out of nowhere and starts scratching the sheriff’s head.

“Sir, do you have a family?”

It was Han Si-Hyeon.

He hit the head of the sheriff’s captain, who must have lived twice as long as he did.

“does not exist.”

“Then shut up and trust people. I, the girl eating inside, and the dirty guy fixing the car outside all owe our lives to this person, and we are receiving help to sort out our families.”

Anger burns in Han Si-Hyeon’s eyes.

“Because those who have never lost their precious people to the dogs are pissed on the situation that you sacrifice is good.”
