The village on the front line... I'm still at a loss as to how this village will survive.
Besides, that white flag... just declaring neutrality is useless when the ambitions of the empire and the demons to control the continent are so great....
I have no idea how this village can last this long.
Suddenly the wind blew strongly, trees were swaying, and the sound of breaking wind began to be heard. in the sky, a giant dragon flew in the sky. with one flap of its wings, the direction of the wind around immediately changed chaotically.
That dragon... it's so big...
"I didn't expect a dragon to live in this area..."
"Damn... dealing with goblins and then with dragons?"
"... Seriously, I'm getting out of here."
As Moirai turned away from the village, a small fire appeared from the grass and blocked Moirai's path as if preventing Moirai from leaving.
"Seriously, you've got to be kidding me..."
"Look... I have no problem dealing with goblins... or dragons... or anything else... the problem here is time ..."
"I need to get to the Emperor as soon as possible... you understand that too, right?"
The fire grew even bigger and formed a wall of fire as tall as Moirai's body.
"Ohh. Come on, don't make everything more complicated."
A small bird appeared from the wall of fire and flew to Moirai and landed on Moirai's head.
"Oii... what are you... ehh... HOT ARGHHHH"
The bird put on an angry expression and made the little bird release burning flames
"Uwowowoow! Ok ok please stop yes I understand... I understand..."
After hearing that the bird immediately left Moirai's head and started flying around Moirai's head.
Ughh... you selfish bastard... Why you do that?
Suddenly the bird put on an angry expression again and started flying towards Moirai.
"Arghhh... damn... I forgot we share the same mind... okay okay don't burn me I'll go, I'll go" Moirai said while running from the bird's chase
Occasionally he looked behind him to see if the bird was still chasing him or not. Slowly he slowed down his running and began to walk normally.
I think the bird has gone
among the lush trees, the rising sun cast a golden light through the green leaves. the unkempt paths and the silence that began to settle began to accompany moirai on his journey to the village.
Not long afterwards... Moirai crossed paths again with the same skeleton he met yesterday.
Moirai was silent for a moment, watching the skeleton. Unlike before, Moirai sat down and prayed to the skull with his eyes closed.
"Everything starts from the void and returns to the void..." Moirai murmured, his voice soft.
"Thank you for living the destiny you were given, thank you for living in this world. Krygst ashlyn dreau..."
A bird landed on the skeleton's head. And instantly the bird turned into a blue flame and covered the skull with its flames.
The fire was neither hot nor cold. Even the trees and grass that were affected by the fire did not turn to ashes. Only the skull was affected. The bright flames devoured the skull into ashes.
"All hail acashic" Moirai said clearly.
The word came out of Moirai's mouth. The wind blew gently through the forest. Extinguishing the blue flames with ease. And carried the ashes away
"Sister's teachings always come true..." Moirai said as he watched the ashes fly high.
Moirai stood up and continued his journey to the village.
When he arrived at the village, he found several corpses lying on the grass that had been covered with sheets outside the village gate.
I have a bad feeling about this...
Above the village gate appeared several people who seemed to be aiming at Moirai with their arrows.
"Who are you stranger..." the man asked sternly.
Moirai grasped his necklace firmly, he stepped gradually towards the gate.
"I said back off... otherwise..." said the archer with trembling hands.
"I don't have any bad intentions... I just want to provide information about the monster elimination"
The archer was still aiming at Moirai and was being wary. They were still suspicious of Moirai's whereabouts
These people... they don't know what's going on...
In the middle of the tense atmosphere, the village gate suddenly opens. And an old man who Moirai met yesterday appears.
"Oho... sir knight it's good to see you again... what brings you here again? Has the extermination been completed?" Greeted the old man with a smile
This old man...
"I just wanted to suggest to all the villagers to move out of this place" Moirai replied.
"Is there a problem, sir knight?" Asked the old man
"If the lives of the villagers are at stake then yes, it's a big problem."
"I found a small group of goblins, but that's not the problem, the goblins I met are an intelligent species."
"They are able to raise wolf species for their own purposes and they are also quite adept at using weapons," Moirai explained.
"It's a shame but we can't leave here..."
"This place is our home and our heritage..." replied the old man.
"You guys... are you dumb?"
"Don't you realise... that when goblins have intelligence it means there is someone leading them"
"Maybe it's a goblin general or goblin king or even worse, You guys can't even imagine such a thing."
"A horde of them is enough to destroy a fortress. And what if that horde of green creatures comes to the village?" moirai said.
"Once again, sorry, sir knight... if we leave... we have no place to go."
"You know what the white flag means, right?" said the old man, pointing to the flag on one of the houses.
"That is a sign that this village is an ownerless territory and has no power whatsoever."
"What can you imagine if we leave this village? We'll just be a target between the empire and the demons" said the old man.
"Wow" Moirai chuckled.
"I don't understand what you're thinking anymore. Even if I reduce their numbers, you won't be able to survive the green creatures' attacks."
"Plus... The corpse in front of the gate wasn't caused by the goblins, was it?"
"I can only hope that you can survive with such stupid thoughts"
In the middle of the debate, Moirai saw a child holding a doll with a sad face as if she was about to cry.
With a sad face the child said
"Sir, please help us... "
"Damn it... you guys... Is this how you welcome strangers?"
"Fuck... alright Then I'll try to reduce the number of goblins"
"I can't stay here too long, after I'm done you guys decide that for yourselves. You are on your own now."
"Thank you sir knight... thank you very much" thanked the old man while bowing.
One by one the villagers who heard and saw the conversation immediately bowed as a form of thanks to Moirai. Starting from parents and even children, they bowed to thank him.
"Don't make me feel guilty"
Huh... I hope everything goes smoothly after this....
