Episode 186 59. Excuse (2)

3.

An unexpected commotion broke out in Nenya Village.

“Haha, everyone, stop thinking about such nonsense. Don’t you think something is a little strange? This old lady’s balls are going to fly off.”

A small square in the village.

All the residents who had been cooped up inside their homes came out.

They shuddered as they watched the sudden hostage situation unfold.

“Elder!”

“Evil human! Release the elder!”

The elves who could fight, including the guards, glared at the humans, gritting their teeth.

This is because the elder, who could be called the pillar of the village, was being held hostage by humans.

“From now on, you will only follow my instructions. Do you understand?”

“A human who will be outraged by heaven and earth,” said Charon to the villagers with a bitter laugh.

“Okay, the ones on the left of the stage are the natives. The ones on the right are those who evacuated to the village. Please divide up quickly and stand.”

It was an incomprehensible instruction.

As the villagers were murmuring and looking at each other, Caron gently stabbed the tip of his sword into the elder’s neck.

Gulp.

Bright red blood flowed down the old elf’s neck.

The residents were shocked by the sight and began to move slowly.

“Good. Everyone is really obedient. I didn’t know they would do that just to save a piece of trash like this. Hey, old lady. You’re acting all coy while cracking pumpkin seeds behind your back, aren’t you? Hehe.”

“Caron said, hitting the elder on the back with his fist.

Then Adina, who had been quietly watching the situation from the side, muttered in a low voice.

“… …Who the hell is the villain?”

Anyone who looked at it would see that it was not something someone who had come to save a village would do.

It would be more fitting to say that they were robbers who had invaded the village.

It was certainly a groundbreaking method that Adina could never have thought of.

“There is a saying that no matter where you go, you will only get to the empire.”

“Who said that?”

“Caron Reston.”

“He’s crazy, really.”

“Adina. Sometimes, the result is more important than the process. The dark elves must have noticed this situation by now. It would be too late to convince each and every villager.”

From the moment I cut off the heads of the dark elves last night, I was already involved in the situation.

So, I had to finish this job before the dark elves got going.

“Did you contact Brother Leo?”

Adina nodded to Charon’s question.

“Oh. But I wonder if it’s the right choice.”

“If we leave them outside anyway, they’ll just become prey to dark elves and demons. It’s better to just stay here and put up a magic barrier and receive support from the clans.”

It was a cool-headed assessment of the situation.

Currently, this area has fallen into the hands of dark elves.

There was absolutely no way to move with the elves we had rescued last night.

and.

‘We also need to keep the dark elves’ attention focused here.’

In order to advance east of the Great Forest, you must attract the attention of the Dark Elves as much as possible.

In that sense, this village has very important value.

Charon smiled bitterly, grabbing Lakaon by the scruff of his neck.

“Everyone, move quickly!”

In general, threats are faster than persuasion.

As Charon shouted again, the elves began to quickly split up.

Elves who were originally in the village and elves who evacuated from outside.

The two groups had obvious differences even at first glance.

The villagers were relatively healthy, but the elves from outside were in bad shape.

A state where various parts of the body are discolored black, just like the elves that Charon personally rescued.

That means.

Phew.

“Gyaaaah!”

“Jang, you are an elder!”

This damn elder is saying that he injected black magic into their bodies in advance.

Charon was so offended by the elder that he threw him to the floor and kicked him several times.

On the surface, it looked like a young human was persecuting an old elf, but Charon didn’t really care what other people thought.

“Try to blow yourself up. Can’t you do it?”

“… … My magic power… … What did you do with my magic power?”

“How did you do it? My sword sucked it all up.”

This old monster has no powers of any note anymore.

The guillotine has already limited everything this horrible creature can do.

All this guy can do is crawl around like a worm like he is doing now.

But an elder was an elder.

“We must all drive this evil man out of the village! I, I don’t care. I can throw myself into the future of the village… … .”

Lakaon appealed to the residents in a desperate voice.

-Incitement? This kid is looking down on his master?

“I know.”

Some elves, filled with spirit at the elder’s shout, raised their magical power.

Woooooooooo-!

The overwhelming magical power that Charon emitted terrified them.

Magical power filled with murderous intent.

They could not help but freeze in place at the terrible murderous intent that the elves had never experienced before.

“Don’t have any nonsense thoughts. I’ll explain everything to you.”

The town guards also did nothing.

Because Adina was threatening the neck of the captain of the guard with her claws.

Charon looked at the elves on his right while pressing his foot against the elder’s chest.

“The elves from outside come here one by one. The natives stay where they are.”

No one moved at those words.

Caron let out a small sigh and nodded his head slightly towards Adina.

Then Adina strode towards the elves.

“I don’t know if this is the right thing to do.”

“It’s better to show it with your own eyes.”

“… … Are all humans like this?”

“I’m the only one like this.”

As Adina approached the group of refugee elves, a young elf woman who seemed to be the leader of the group immediately stood in front of her with her arms outstretched.

“If you need a slave, take me. They are kind people who let us into their village. So, rather… … .”

I think there is some misunderstanding.

Adina sighed deeply and spoke to the elf woman.

“That’s not it, follow me.”

“I don’t know why the nobles are raiding the elf village together with the humans… … .”

“You’d better just follow along. I’m not a very nice person.”

Adina, who had been with Caron for a while, was already starting to resemble Caron in personality.

As Adina spoke loudly, the elf woman silently approached Charon with Adina.

Charon looked at the elf with a sly smile.

“The name?”

Then the elf woman answered in a small voice.

“Ellen.”

“Okay, Ellen. Do you know what I hate most in the world? Slavers. I have no intention of taking you as slaves. Now, now, stop squirming… … . Come closer to me.”

Ellen quietly approached Charon.

Caron carefully examined the nape of her neck.

The skin was discolored black. It was a sign that black magic had been injected into it.

“Not only did you hand it over to the dark elves, but you also prepared the work in advance. Elder, you are very loyal.”

Phew.

“Ugh.”

Charon kicked the elder in the stomach once more, then sighed and grabbed the guillotine. Then he spoke to Ellen.

“It stings a little.”

“……yes?”

Phew.

The dark blue blade pierced Ellen’s thigh.

At that sight.

“Me, me!”

“Oh, my world… … .”

The other elves sighed.

But that was only for a moment,

“ah.”

An exclamation, not a scream, came out of Ellen’s mouth.

Because the headache that had been bothering her disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“How did you… … do it?”

Ellen asked Charon in a trembling voice.

Then Charon smiled brightly and shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s a long story, but… … Ah! They’re coming over just in time.”

Ellen looked at where Charon had pointed with his chin.

The entrance to the village.

There.

“Caron!”

A group of elves were walking in, accompanied by Leo.

The natives, having confirmed their identity, began to murmur.

“They… … .”

“Aren’t those the elves that ran away from the village in the middle of the night?”

“Obviously, the elder… … .”

The elves are agitated.

Charon looked down at Rakhaon with a faint smile.

“You said earlier, right? You will be judged by your own people. I wonder what kind of verdict your own people will make.”

“I… … I am for the village… … .”

“You should speak properly. You were doing this for yourself, not the village. Now, shall we begin the trial?”

Charon had no intention of giving the elder an easy death.

4.

The trial was held.

Those who returned to the village with Leo were willing to testify about what the elders and guards had done.

As a result.

“How could an elder do such a thing?”

“We trusted you, Elder… … . No matter what, this isn’t right!”

“You don’t know what you’re saying! Rather than dying together, wouldn’t it be better to save your life by throwing in outsiders? Think of the children… … .”

“There were many children among the people sold by the elder.”

“If you were in my position, you would make the same decision.”

The snowstorm comes and goes.

Did he want to die as an honorable elder? Rakaon continued his explanation in a much more earnest voice than when he spoke to Charon.

As if he were an elder who cared about the village until the end, he did not admit to the fact that he had indiscriminately sold out his own people.

“The dark elves did something wrong… … .”

But just then, Caron passed on a piece of information to the villagers.

“I heard you were promised a position by the dark elves.”

The elves’ attitude towards Charon also changed.

Until just now, he had regarded them as malicious intruders, but now he was showing a certain degree of trust in Caron.

At Charon’s words, many elves began to point fingers at the elder.

“… … I never thought the elder would betray us.”

“So you were planning on selling the village in the end? That’s what the dark elves did.”

“This, this is a conspiracy! Don’t fall for that cunning human’s tongue. He’s no different from the devil… … .”

“It wasn’t me who made a deal with the devil, Elder, but you, my darling.”

Charon mixed lies with the truth to pressure the elders.

-This is the original incitement, you punk.

Even the guillotine was watching the elder’s trial, giggling as if it was a delight.

Of course, elders are not the only subjects of this trial.

Those who had fully cooperated with the elders, that is, those who had joined the dark elves, were also bound and forced to kneel.

The atmosphere begins to tilt in an instant.

The honor that the elder tried to protect until the last moment is already gone.

All that’s left for him is the stigma of being a traitor.

-A final destination fit for a traitor.

All this old man did while defending the cause was to sell out his own people.

To save the townspeople?

It was just a fancy excuse.

-What if this old woman did that only for the sake of the village?

Guillotine asked a difficult question.

But Caron answered with a sly smile.

“I don’t know. But that doesn’t really matter.”

-why?

“It didn’t happen. What’s the point of thinking about it now?”

There’s no need to overthink it.

I just make judgments based on what I see and hear.

It was around this time that Caron was sitting there watching the trial.

Myaaaah-!

Pluto cried softly and rubbed his head against Charon’s leg.

Pluto was ordered to guard the area around the village. It was strange that Pluto reacted like this.

“… … Your actions are quicker than I thought?”

They say the dark elves have already moved.

It seemed that they had confirmed that something had happened in the village.

And at that moment.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeng-!

A loud noise echoed throughout the village.

The alarm function built into the barrier has been activated.

“Dark elves! The dark elves are coming!”

An elf who had been standing guard in place of the village guards ran towards them, shouting, and Elder Rakaon shouted as if he had been waiting for him.

“Just wait and see! It was only thanks to me that you were able to survive until now… … .”

“Shit.”

At that noise, Charon got up from his seat and approached Lakaon.

And then.

Taaaaaah.

I slapped his cheek with the palm of my hand.

The force was so strong that Lakaon, who was hit in the cheek, fell unconscious and foamed at the mouth.

“We will resume the trial after dealing with the dark elves first.”

The total number of dark elves detected through Pluto is thirty.

It was a considerable number, but Caron didn’t really care.

“Caron.”

“Everyone, get ready.”

Caron looked at Leo and Adina and smiled.

“Let’s tell those black guys who took over this town.”

At those words, Leo sighed and said.

“What are you accepting? Are we robbers?”

“Then no?”

Leo looked around slowly.

An elder who was driven out by Charon.

And the elves are looking at Charon with fear.

“… … This is a robbery.”

“Robbery is also a job with pretty good prospects, brother.”

“Ugh.”

As expected, Caron was a person with clear self-objectification.

So, Caron and his party.

“Let’s just hold out until the chieftain comes. Ah, it’s been a while since we’ve had a fight. It’s fun. Isn’t it, Brother Leo?”

We headed towards the entrance of the village, exchanging jokes.

Dark clouds began to gather over Nenya Village.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
