The capital of the 'sun in the sky', a 'very big' city. After the vigilante group was established, the vigilantes were dispersed to each regional city and were responsible for various public duties for the country, including public security.
Even in the capital, a 'very large' city, the self-defense corps members were starting their day with a morning assembly at the newly built self-defense corps headquarters.
"… If anything happens while you're on patrol, report it immediately. Over!"
"insect!"
After the leader of the vigilante group finished his short speech, the vigilantes, lightly armed, grouped into groups of two or three, and marched to their assigned areas.
"Come on! Everyone, grab your weapons."
"While on patrol, I read books about the law here and there."
Until a few months ago, they were warriors who protected the 'sun in the sky' and had strict military discipline.
"Everyone, work hard until we switch shifts with the night shift workers."
A while later, the vigilantes in charge of the 3rd district of the 'very large' city were patrolling the town, having a light conversation.
"Is it going to be quiet today too?"
"There are definitely fewer incidents during the day than at night."
"That's true."
At that moment, a villager was running towards the vigilantes, breathing heavily.
"Are you guys from the police force?"
The young man speaking those words had an unusual appearance. The fur coat on his right shoulder was slightly torn, and the cheek area was swollen.
In addition, there was blood at the corner of the man's mouth, as if his mouth had burst. The three vigilantes looked at each other and asked urgently, as if they sensed something had happened.
"Yes, that's right. What's going on?"
"The Lenape people are being beaten unilaterally by the Powhatan people. Hurry up and go around and stop those savages."
The vigilantes' faces hardened for a moment at the words 'barbarians' coming out of the young man's mouth. For a while, the vigilantes began to respond calmly according to the vigilante guidelines.
"You were assaulted. First, tell me roughly how many savage tribesmen were involved in the assault, and how many people were beaten by them."
The young man hesitated for a moment, as if recalling a memory.
"There were about fifteen savages. And six people, including me, were hit by them."
Despite the large number of people, the vigilantes did not panic and divided up their tasks.
"I guess we'll need some support. You call your colleagues. We'll go to that place and sort things out."
"Okay. First, I'll call all the colleagues nearby."
One of the vigilantes turned around and ran away in a hurry. And then two vigilantes who were there asked the young man for guidance.
"I would appreciate it if you could guide us to the location of the violence."
In case of emergency, two vigilantes followed the young man carrying wooden clubs.
* * *
A young savage man, covered in anger, was clutching the nape of the Lenape man's neck with one hand as he lay on the ground.
"Say that again with that dirty mouth."
A Lenape man, his face horribly disfigured from having been hit so many times, laughed at the threat without being daunted.
"Kekekekekeke! You guys are finished. Do you know who I am? I am the son of the Lenape chieftain. So keep hitting me!"
"...."
The young man, who looked like he was going to strike down his clenched fist at any moment, hesitated for a moment.
And at that sight, the Lenape man smiled even more triumphantly.
"The vigilantes should be swarming here by now. So you should all be out of luck, you damn savages!"
"What? A savage like a burrower?"
A young man from a barbarian tribe who had been struggling to suppress his anger exploded.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of rough fists struck the face of a young man from the Lenape tribe. The young men of the barbarian tribe, who could not stand to watch, quickly stopped him.
"Clean feet! Stop it."
"Yeah. Then I'll die."
Even though his friends tried to stop him by holding his arms, 'Clean Feet' screamed with bloodshot eyes.
"You ignored us again, you punk! I'll kill you."
At that moment, two vigilantes appeared, breathing heavily.
"Everyone stop! This is the 'Sun of the Sky' vigilante group!"
"Don't move one step from that spot!"
"It's no use running away because everything will come out if you investigate!"
The young Lenape man who had been guiding the vigilantes pointed and shouted in a taunting tone.
"Those savages picked a fight with us on the street and beat us up without warning."
"Okay, so be quiet!"
The vigilantes turned a deaf ear to the words and kept a close watch over the young men of the savage tribe to make sure they didn't escape.
Fortunately, the young men of the savage tribe obediently followed the vigilante's orders, and none of them ran away.
"It wasn't a one-sided assault."
"Yeah. It looks like a few of the savage tribesmen were injured."
When they had some free time, the two vigilantes exchanged glances and quickly looked around.
"I think it's a fight?"
"Really? But for some reason, it smells fishy."
"Let's not judge each other in advance. We'll find out later when the Vigilantes investigate in detail."
Five young Lenape men lying on the ground. There were some minor injuries, but fortunately it didn't seem like he would die.
And just then, the vigilantes who had received the request for assistance arrived one after another.
"Everyone, come this way."
"The investigation will be conducted by the Vigilantes."
Vigilantes with clubs quickly began to clear the area of violence between the two tribes in broad daylight, arresting both the Savage and Lenape men on the spot.
"Why are you tying my hands? Those savages beat us up unilaterally. And do you know who I am? My father is a delegate. Do you think my father will stay still?"
The young Lenape man who had been rebelling against the vigilantes for some time was once again shouting.
"This is the first time we've had a guy yell at us like that."
"Isn't it because your father is a delegate that you can't see anything?"
The vigilantes chewed the young Lenape man out with their eyes, swearing at him as if they were offended. At that moment, the highest-ranking vigilante on the scene approached the rebellious young Lenape man and gave him a fierce warning.
"It's fucking noisy."
"what?"
"You don't seem to know the laws of the country. If you rebel against the vigilantes, you can be killed right here and now. So just sit there quietly while I say nice things."
"...."
A young Lenape man swallowed thickly in fear after being warned that it might not work.
"Okay! If that's all cleared up, take these guys to Cheong."
"All right."

It wasn't all quiet just because it was winter. Even in the cold winter, the hunting and domestication of wild buffalo continued.
Of course, even if I don't participate, warriors who have learned how to hunt buffalo herds will hunt them on their own.
However, up until now, the results of hunting a buffalo herd have differed greatly depending on whether I participated or not.
So, having a few days to spare, I went out hunting buffalo with the SS warriors.
'There should be about five thousand.'
If you think about the buffalo cavalry unit that you will be operating in the future, you will need at least five thousand buffalo.
There was no particular reason. A cavalry force of about five thousand buffalo cavalrymen was needed to be able to deploy cavalry strategies and tactics with some degree of safety.
Of course, I also took into consideration the leadership ability that can receive the 'Battlefield Command' buff. And with war looming over the Iroquois confederacy, it was imperative to hasten the hunt for a herd of buffalo in order to properly train a buffalo cavalry unit.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel excited as I pictured five thousand buffalo cavalry charging into the enemy's rear.
'There must be no hell.'
It was the moment when I was just entering the outer wall after passing the inner wall while I was lost in thought for a moment.
Dozens of young men, including vigilantes, were walking out of the village of District 3, located on the left side of the road in the middle, with their hands tied.
'What's going on?'
At that moment, the vigilantes looked surprised at the sight of me, the emperor, and saluted loudly as if they were leaving the village.
"With all due respect to His Majesty the Emperor! Loyalty!"
"insect!
I returned the salute by placing my right hand on my heart. And then, on their behalf, a vigilante superior approached me and gave me a brief report on the things I was curious about.
"A fight broke out between young people from two tribes. So we are currently planning to take them to the Vigilance Police Station for investigation."
"You're working hard."
"No. We are simply doing our best to maintain the security and stability of the country as vigilantes."
The Savage Tribe (the Powhatan Tribe) and the Lenape Tribe… . Only a few years after unification under the federation known as the 'Sun of the Sky', discrimination and conflicts between the tribes remained, knowingly or unknowingly.
It probably took quite some time for the founding ideology of 'all are equal before the Creator God' to take root and be realized.
'We have no choice but to continue to unite the tribes through education.'
Finally, the vigilante superior cautiously asked for my opinion, wondering if he had more to say.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! The son of the representative is involved in this violent incident. It seems that the investigation will become more complicated later because of this incident. Therefore, I am very worried about how to handle this incident."
I immediately understood what he meant. I spoke decisively without hesitation.
"No one, no tribe, is equal before the laws set by the Council. If someone has committed a crime, they should be punished, so investigate thoroughly according to the law."
"Understood, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
As the vigilante superior, whose complexion had been gloomy just a moment ago, turned around with a bright expression, I called out to 'Heavy Snowstorm', who had been escorting me from close range.
"Let's get the help of the Intelligence Service to find out exactly what's going on."
"Understood, Your Majesty! If the Vigilantes come under external pressure during their investigation, should we block them in advance?"
Unlike 'Honest Bear', who was half-crazy these days because he was excited about wedding preparations, 'Heavy Snowstorm' immediately understood what I had instructed him to do.
"No. Leave it as is."
"All right."
As the 'heavy snowstorm' subsided, I smiled inexplicably as I watched the vigilantes and young men entering the inner city.
'I wonder how the vigilantes will deal with the delegates' influence.'
* * *
Knock knock! Knock knock!
A herd of a hundred buffalo were charging toward the ranch, making the ground tremble.
"Keep driving towards the fence!"
"Don't let your guard down until the very end!"
Under my direction, the Royal Guard warriors, each operating as a team, worked together as one to safely herd the buffalo.
"Okay, now!"
"Open the fence gate!"
A short while later, ten days after leaving the 'very big' city, he returned safely after hunting a herd of buffalo.
"Good job everyone!"
"No, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
As I was taking a short break to congratulate the hard-working Royal Guard soldiers, a soldier from the Information and Inspection Department approached me and handed me a sealed report.
'This is going to be fun.'
I quickly read the report on the spot and handed it back to the soldier in charge of the Intelligence and Inspection Division and said:
"Tell them I'll go straight to the Vigilantes' Office after my break."
"Understood, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
