131 The Norms and the Zag (1/2)

As we approached the gnome village, the gnomes, sensing the danger of the strange army, were armed and waiting for us.

”Long time no see! How have you all been?

But they disarmed Masaru and welcomed him with open arms.

It's about time that all the land in this area is organized into a country or something, so that each village can defend itself. Every time someone comes like this, we have to be on the lookout for everything. Yeah.

”Sure... so who's going to start a country?

Well, isn't that ......... Masaru?

But no! I mean, how can a small citizen like me represent a country?

”Am I the only one who wants to know what a petty bourgeoisie is?

I'm the only one who wants to say what a small citizen is.

”It's been a long time since I've seen you, and you're still as insane as ever, bringing in such an unusual person. .

How dare you speak to this petty criminal!

Masaru enough with the small people stuff?

Okay... I'll think of something else. Okay...

No, you don't have to think!

What is it with you people and this group?

I'll think of something to say.

”This group is a unit of the Kingdom of Greitas, and until a short while ago they were dispatched to the royal capital of Bazelarca. ”Ah!

What? Are we at war?

No, no. The royal city of Bazelarca was destroyed by a demon. Anyone who missed was wiped out. No!

No! How could the capital of a country fall to a demon and that demon is...

Masaru killed them all... the entire city. Now King's Landing is not just a wasteland, it's a clearing. It's

That's ......... Masaru. Don't overdo it.

”......... Shut up. Shut up.

Masaru turned his head away and refused to talk.

I'm sure there were no survivors, and I'm sure Masaru's actions were worthwhile just because no demons escaped to destroy King's Landing. I'm not sure.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

So what's your unit doing here?

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. What, are you actually more concerned about this than you think?

Of course! I've been taking care of my own safety, but I can't help but feel bad when people keep talking about me as if I'm a demon lord!

”Oh? I'm sure you're not the only one.

Zarg asked, as if he was surprised, and even old Botts looked at him with interest.

The first requirement is to keep hostile creatures at bay. The first requirement is to keep hostile creatures at bay. To do that, I've come up with a way to take out all the demons at once... that's how I'm going to use my newly constructed magic to create a widespread explosion to take them out. I can't.

”...It's a safety precaution, right?

”Think of the danger of missing, don't you think a little damage is inevitable? Besides, there's no survivors inside, right? If you think about the risk of letting them go with care, or if you think about the risk of going a little overboard to make sure they're dead, you'll have your answer, right? Which is more dangerous?

”That being said, I'm inclined to think over-aggressive is better. .... I'm not sure.

In addition, there is no doubt that the buildings in King's Landing collapsed, but have you ever thought about the high technology that was used?

”High technology? I'm sure you've heard of it. ”Wait a minute...

Wait a minute... a whole castle town collapsing? I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to do.

And the old man said it all fell apart with one blow. ”One shot?

”One blow?

He froze with his mouth hanging wide open.
