Knights, Let’s Smash Them

38 – What’s killing my kid! (2)

# Why are you killing my child! (2)

Looking at it again, it was a strange sight. Aren’t goblins monsters that kidnap and eat children?

Of course, he knows that some monsters can be tamed.

From the beginning, it was a very difficult and dangerous job, so unless you were a geek, you wouldn’t try it.

In addition, they usually tame cool and powerful objects such as manticores and basilisks.

It was unusual to have tamed a goblin that was stupid, ferocious, and all it did was plunder passers-by.

No, you wouldn’t be able to say ‘tamed’ in the first place.

No matter how you look at it, they already looked like residents of this place.

“You bastards! Move! Do you know who you are blocking the path right now!?”

Finally, the impatient coachman screamed and shook his fist. Some children fell asleep at the sound of a boiling tantrum.

“No, I’m scared… ….”

“Let’s just go back. I don’t think these guys will give you anything tasty.”

“Geruk! Okay! We solve it!”

Mysteriously, aren’t the goblins rather soothing the children? Some goblins stood in their way as if to protect them.

At first, Baron Kirten, who was about to order the coachman to stop and ask what the children wanted, was at a loss for words at the sight he never expected.

“I can’t go! Human! Give it to me quickly!”

“What, what do you want me to give you? These guys…… !”

“Something to eat!!”

‘Aha! It seems that when these children blocked the road and protested, the passers-by threw something to eat.’

If it was simply food that the children would like to snack on, there were a few wrapped items. It was a sweet snack brought generously to give as a gift to the administrator and the knight commander.

It was at that moment when the baron grinned and tried to deliver something to eat through the coachman.

The folk knight ‘Franken’, who was standing at the back of the ranks, strode forward and kicked the goblin blocking his way.

“What the f*ck, how safe is this place for these worm-like bastards!!”

“Keheuk!?”

The goblin’s small body tumbled across the floor. A goblin coughing in pain.

“Jaesik!! Are you okay?!”

“Ooh, wow!! You guys are bad people! Why hit! Why!!”

The children hurriedly surrounded the gasping goblin, and this time, the big kids who seemed to be the bosses of the alley shouted at them.

The blonde-haired girl was also there.

“No, these bastards, since living with real monsters, have they developed a habit that is not very fundamental… …. Hey f*cker, don’t get out of the way quickly!!”

“Sorry! I apologize to Jaeshik!!”

“uuu, ugly! He is an ugly man with an ugly heart as well as an ugly face~~!!”

Maybe it would have been enough if I had been told well. However, they were not children who would run away even if they clearly witnessed their friend in front of them being beaten.

Far from being frightened, Franken yelled at him again with a boiling voice.

“Don’t turn off!! You f*cking kids!”

The Minjung Knights are not official knights. In general, there are many cases where mercenaries who have not been appointed or wanderers apply to earn a living.

If it was a territory managed under special circumstances, such as Baron Kirten, it was an organization used by local officials under the concept of a kind of ‘mercenary who officially signed a contract with the territory’.

This is the head of such an organization.

There’s no way he’s kind to young children, and he was famous for having a bad personality in the first place.

I would have reconsidered hiring Baron Kirten if it weren’t for his outstanding skills that overwhelm them all.

The leader of the People’s Knights of Franken was such a man.

However, the children only clung to each other the more they did it.

The person who becomes the focal point.

As expected, it was a blonde girl.

“You don’t seem to have any coward heads. What? Why is the girl opening her eyes like that?”

Deeming to be sure to get the head start, he approached the blonde girl. He looked like he was going to grab me by the collar and slap me in the face.

“Let’s see if you can look at it with that kind of eye even after being beaten and crying. You don’t know where adults are afraid.”

I really don’t want to let it go anymore, Baron Kirten quickly opens the carriage door and is about to shout.

“Go away! Go-!!!!”

The girl’s shout rang out.

“Hee hee hee!!!”

Suddenly, a well-behaved horse screams in surprise, and the carriage shakes wildly.

The rampage of the moment was so great that even Baron Kirten, who had just stood up with a snack, lost his balance and collapsed in the carriage.

“Ugh!”

“Baron! Are you all right!?”

“No, I am fine…… That’s okay, so hurry up and tell Captain Franken to stop!!”

It was such a cry that even Franken, the leader of the People’s Knights, couldn’t lower his raised hand and instinctively stepped back.

From his head to his toes.

The feeling of an indescribable fear being thrust down vertically makes my hair stand on end without my knowledge.

“This, this crazy b*tch…… !!”

A little embarrassed.

As if the fact that he was frightened for a moment made him even more resentful, Franken tried to rush at the girl mercilessly.

“What is going on!”

“Lucy…… !? Why are you here!”

In the end, I had to step back when the two men and women urgently approached.

The Knight Commander Cianne and the Knights Administrator Luvern Alroy who were newly appointed to the Rupel Mansion.

Because two people appeared.

***

“Sorry. It’s because I didn’t manage my vassals well.”

“No, baron. Didn’t the village children actually block the road? I will definitely educate you so that you don’t do this kind of prank again.”

I followed Baron Kirten, who lowered his head first, and lowered his head.

Sianne and Emain, who were accompanying me, also bowed down and apologized.

“Sorry.”

“No! Knights don’t have to apologize. As a father of one son, I know how difficult it is to teach children.”

The baron smiled kindly and nodded his head.

Certainly, as much as I had received a word from Xian Ne in advance, it seemed that she was a great person.

When I first heard about the Baron Kirten from Count Rupel, he immediately corrected me by saying that it wasn’t like that, as soon as I thought of the phrase ‘treason’ or ‘autonomous independence’.

He must be a true vassal who has not lost his loyalty to the monarch even now, when the county declines and his own barony prospers.

Of course, it doesn’t look like ‘some’ underlings… ….

As much as it is virtually impossible to form a knighthood with the original title of baron.

There were many cases where the mercenaries were operated under the name of ‘Minjung Knights’ in this way, so it is somewhat extenuable.

The problem is that Inseong is an asshole.

“But it is really amazing. Rumor has it that the Administrator was Luvern Alroy. When I heard that he was a dark-haired magistrate, he vaguely recalled it.”

“Ha ha ha…… Like the baron, I was also influenced by Count Rupel’s personality.”

“I see…… !! After all, great people recognize great people, don’t they? It just seems like that when I saw it.”

Look at this.

He praised the monarch, and he had a vassal who was as delighted as he was.

Earl Rupel is a truly blessed man.

Honestly, if the baron behaves a bit arrogantly or shows any odd signs, I was going to go straight to true education.

Looking at my attitude now, I thought I wouldn’t have to do that.

“And the atmosphere of the town is very fresh. As soon as I saw it for the first time, I thought it was like a fairy tale.”

“Is that so?”

“Isn’t this all thanks to Lubern Magistrate’s ability!”

After that, we had a trivial conversation.

How we live.

What are your future plans?

And so on.

Among them, the point I focused on was how I could connect business with Baron Kirten.

What I’m thinking of right now is a fantasy-style ‘highway’…….

“Certainly, if we build a central road that connects Jarhead, Petalonto, and Monderto, we will be able to move even Jarhead incredibly quickly.”

“Yes. It is a mountainous area, so it takes too much time to go back to avoid the attacks of bandits or wild beasts.”

“It seems that bandits can be sufficiently defeated if the guards are stationed at all times and the troops of the corps are dispersed.”

Baron Kirten Mexis was very positive about my idea.

What always bothered me after I fell into this world was why these people didn’t fix the roads when they had both manpower and capital to manage.

Of course, the vicinity of the capital of the Boliver Empire is very well maintained.

However, even if you get out of the outskirts just a little bit, there are very few roads that are actually used.

Even the width was not that wide, and in severe cases, a huge traffic jam made up of ‘wagons’ occurred.

If that’s the case, let’s go down another road. Who would go on a road teeming with bandits, monsters and all kinds of monsters and bandits coming at you for an opportunity?

But why are these lords so stingy when it comes to road maintenance?

Even from here in Petalonto to here in Tippen village, it took only two hours in a straight line, but it took almost twice as long because there were no good roads.

“Monderto, our free city, was also able to develop significantly after reorganizing the city and roads first. If the entire county is managed in that way, it won’t be difficult for Rupel Manor to regain its former reputation.”

Baron, you know something.

Even if you didn’t have a title, it would be great to work under me as an officer.

It was around the time that I was just licking my lips at the compliant administrative power that I could clearly feel just by having a few conversations.

Someone’s voice was heard from outside the cabin that was being used as the temporary office of the Knights Templar.

“I, that…… Baron?”

“What happened?”

“I think you should visit for a while.”

“So what happened?”

“Ah, that…… It looks like Captain Franken is having a fight again this time.”

As soon as he heard that, the baron let out a deep sigh.

The man named Franken seemed to be a troublesome manpower in many ways.

Well, it’s obvious if you don’t even look at the young kids.

“Oh, sorry. I’ll go and quickly clean things up and see you again.”

Kirten politely expressed his intention and stood up. However, I also thought that I shouldn’t just watch it.

Not only did he try to hit Lucy, but he’s actually a precious slave in our town…… No, you said you assaulted Jaesik, a resident, right?

No way.

You can’t just run amok like an unbridled foal!

“Don’t do that, let’s go together.”

“Yes?”

I glanced at Cianne and Emain as well, then stood up with the baron.

A club is medicine for a mad dog.

Historically, it was like that.
