Yobidasa Reta Satsuriku-sha Chapter 29 (1/2)
Hifurande-Arosel border one by one
Basically, the reason they captured Arosel the way they did was only for the soldiers to gain experience In the other cases, he just had a s, where they either seized, or killed the representatives The places that seemed to be able to offer some resistance were pinpointed and suppressed The only uilds, where he had each of the guild iance to him
After killing many of Vichy’s soldiers and adventurers, Hifumi’s side also had so Their raids were performed in such a way thatBut even if they did, the only thing that changed was the naovernor
Except the ones resisting, the rest were let live It was also e in the administrative body was that Hifues, so nothing really went out of hand At the h time for a complete restructure of the administrative system
Except putting the central government’s spies and liaisons on house arrest, Hifumi didn’t really take any actions towards thee the state of affairs within the their area of control
In the es were put under their control
In each of the cities, the opposing parties were generally killed, and passage through the city gates was restricted The soldiers left behind were the bare es there could be as few as three of them
“It’s about ti this area, we are to establish a new national border You should send for soldiers frorande to defend it”
Hifuer at the map they took from the representative of Arosel’s mansion
The place he pointed at was just a set to one of the major cities in Vichy, you would have to pass by here If they could set up a blockade here, one of Vichy’s five major cities would be whittled away
“Understood”
Until nohen the city they were ai Hifumi’s orders
Looking at the size conquered territory, the rande Furtheres in a relatively unscathed condition, the tax revenue would barely need to be reduced at all
But doing it in this hts, Pajou didn’t think the aristocrats could possibly agree to it If the head of the can wasn’t Hifuo
“Well then, I guess I’ll go have a ‘talk’ with them in Rhone”
Seeing Hifuhway alone, leaving the troops behind, Pajou was thinking about the future of Orsongrande
Imeraria probably doesn’t have the notion to invade other countries herself If that’s the case and Vichy wants to enter negotiations with us, offering Orsongrande an apology, it should all conclude there, but…
Would Hifu at this point?
Would he listen to anyone’s opinion, and change the way he’s thinking?
…… In the end, would it all be over with Vichy as the only victim?
Pajou looked at the troops participating in the can
They were all showing signs of fatigue Having no experience with thesesilent invasions, and engaging in one-sided slaughter Sure, they had signs of physical exhaustion, but what had really exhausted the many who couldn’t even resist
They were priht raids and surprise attacks Although they were operations in which the masses weren’t hurt, in the end their purpose was still having others killed
Exposing the Orsongrande knights and soldiers to this to the extent they were, ould become of them?
If they didn’t stop soon, perhaps Orsongrande would crumble from within
Origa couldn’t understand Hifumi’s real intentions, but didn’t voice any opinions towards him Alyssa didn’t understand hi orders
Perhaps if Hifu…
Pajou was observing Kasha ordering the first unit around, preparing for the next assault An, Kasha was the only one having shown uneasy expressions a couple of times
“Sorry, do you have some time?”
When Kasha seemed free for a little while, Pajou quietly asked her
Closing in on Rhone, Hifumi frowned
The smell of blood drifted over froht, but there were still no presence of people
“What’s all this about…?”
Speeding up the horse, Hifuhtly held onto his katana fixed on his waist The left hand was propping up the scabbard,him able to draw at a moment’s notice
Steadily closing in on the city, a bizarrethe entrance came into view
Carefully approaching, he confirmed that athe city entrance Making sure that no one was around, he swung his katana, destroying the wall
A stench of blood and decay burst forth the moment the entrance was cleared
“So they were completely annihilated”
Looking around within the city, deco things to be found Not even cats or dogs Whether it be the stores, the inns, or even the regular houses, blood and dead bodies could be found everywhere
Hifued that they had been dead from anywhere between a few hours and a day, but several patches on the corpses were extremely decomposed
“A disease? …No, that doesn’t seem to be the case”
There were several bodies that hadn’t deco died due to blood loss from the wounds on their necks and various other places But these corpses looked suspicious as well Their fingers and fingernails looked too clean They should obviously have ‘been killed’, but there were no indications of resistance, and their faces were anything but warped in horror or pain They were completely expressionless
He didn’t understand the circumstances of the deaths of the decomposed bodies, but there were nu cla their own chests
Most likely, so made the
Hifumi abruptly withdrew his katana, as the stoed, and the content gushed out with a splashi+ng sound
“The intestines are also extremely decomposed, but it seems that what’s inside the stomach is still fine”
As Hifuuessed that for so at around the sah one of the bodies’ split clothes
“Isn’t this the sa?”
Wouldn’t that indicate that this incident was orchestrated on the orders of Horant?
“… For the ti, we can’t use the city unless we clean up”
Not being able to conclude anything h and returned to the where the can’s forces were stationed
When the soldiers first saw the city with the corpses spread all around, they were speechless‘You took it this far?’ their gazes seely tried to convey, as they concentrated on Hifumi
“In that short amount of time, he killed this many?”, someone muttered
In order to avoid diseases fro out, Hifu the the bones
“What is actually going on here?”
Having surveyed the surroundings, Origa asked Hifumi
“No idea The decayed guys earing that body strengthening ic tool we encountered before Perhaps they were made to wear them by someone The other ones had no facial expressions, so it appears to be the sa The low levels of resistance would indicate that this should be a strengthened version”
