It was a promise
“Not anymore!”
It was a promise to Skadi, one of his wives, and to the people of the Esmeralda territory
“I kno you see er that could leave at anythis place over to the northern alliance, the Gullveig alliance A?” He asked the people of Esmeralda
“”
A heavy silence No one responded Who would dare? The aea They ht have lost all sense of hope, but they still valued their lives
“Anyone can answer!”
However, Kang Chul-In didn’t step back
“”
Even so, they just looked at hienerals turned as red as to Chul-In raised his hands to caliven his orders, but he knew that their excessive loyalty could cause them to make mistakes
They won’t ansell, I expected that
Also, Kang Chul-In kne the people of Esmeralda would respond to his speech
“Is there really no one ould like to answer my question?”
“”
The silence continued
“Alright”
Kang Chul-In nodded
Then…
“I will give the brave person who answers old pieces and first-class citizenshi+p to doold pieces was about 40 million won in Korean currency Not to mention, first-class citizenshi+p? This was an honorable rank given to families who had soldiers in the arreat benefits given to theoverndom internally, they had to be a first-class citizen Because of this, the citizens of the Valhalla kingdo the military to beco a first-class citizen was
“Also” Kang Chul-In didn’t stop there “I’ll reward a residence in the capital of Metalia that a faive you any job you want Of course, I guarantee retirement too”
It was a reward that anyone would want The price of land in Metalia was astrono that one would receive land snam in Seoul
The response was immediate
“R-Really?”
“No way… don’t believe hi…”
“You never know…”
The people of Esan to murmur at his delicious te man at the very front raised his hand
fuck it…!
The young ht that the worst that could happen would be his death
“Your na Chul-In asked
“Mike Jackson”
“What?”
“Mike Jackson…”
“Can you moonwalk?”
“Pardon?”
“N-NeverChul-In quickly turned his head around after seeing the young man named Mike Jackson’s face
Because…
shi+t… why does he look so sireatof Pop, Michael Jackson”
“Anyway”
Kang Chul-In spoke again, pulling hiether
“I’ll ask you questions”
“Yes, your Majesty”
“Do I seeer to you?”
“C-Can I be honest…”
“Of course”
“T-Then…”
When Kang Chul-In nodded, Mike Jackson began to speak his mind
“You are correct”
“Really?”
“Yes those in authority in Esers ould leave soon…”
“What do you think the reason for that is?”
“That’s…” Mike Jackson thought for a moment “Because this place is a war territory”
This is how he answered Kang Chul-In’s question
“War territory?”
“Yes, sir”
“Be specific”
“It’s exactly as I said This Esmeralda territory… is a cursed land where wars don’t ever end”
Yes, a cursed land The iic land for Lords was only a cause of suffering for the people
“I see” Kang Chul-In nodded after hearing Mike Jackson’s response “So?”
“Yes?”
“Have you… found a way to solve it?”
“?”
“A way to escape fro”
“T-That’s…”
There was no way he had The reasons were the following:
1 Rebelling?
Result:
A futile death It was iainst the Lord and his subordinates
2 Running away?
Result:
Another futile death The Gullveig Alliance had forced them to farm or work in the military, and even took women to satisfy the sexual desires of the soldiers To them, the people of Esmeralda were just slaves or cattle that could be used when they needed them; animals that could be used if they were fed corn and water No person in authority would ever let their slaves escape after they bought the Alliance had created a team called SCS, the Slave Chaser Squadron, to hunt down runaways
“We have no way…” Mike Jackson replied in a weak voice “How could normal people like us be able to escape from the hands of the Lords? We are slaves who can’t rebel or run away… Just because of the fact that we are born in this cursed land, we must suffer forever…”
