Ruthmeier Estate.

The reason this place was isolated was not simply because the nobles suppressed their actions or hindered their revival, but also because there were enemies who kept coming.

“Krrr…!”

It looks similar to a dog or wolf, a quadrupedal animal, but its skin is covered with hard stones rather than fur that can easily split when a sword is inserted.

“The demonic beasts have appeared!”

“Children, disabled women, and the elderly, please evacuate!”

It’s not an animal.

Demon beast.

When I played the game, I simply called it a monster and did not pay much attention to it. It was another enemy of the empire and the main enemy of this territory.

▶CHAPTER 2 – Episode II. The hand that shakes it off is in progress!◀

▶The demonic beasts have appeared!◀

▶Protect the village!◀

▶Achievement level is determined based on the level of damage suffered by Yeongjimin!◀

※List of major enemies

[ Waggloo Hound ]

[ A species of wolf characterized by stones with demonic energy flowing throughout its body. The defense is quite high, so if you don’t use the right weapon, the damage will be offset by a certain amount. ]

[ Waglu Rajan ]

[ A species of monkey that is characterized by stones with demonic energy flowing throughout its body. When crouching, the damage inflicted is greatly offset. ]

‘This is why Ruthmire was broken by magic beasts every time.’

No matter how much you use a weapon made out of wood, the damage is greatly reduced against those magical beasts.

In addition, the problem was that there was no proper armor.

Since the two types of magical beasts did not have very high attack power, it would have been possible to withstand them to some extent if they had armor.

There aren’t enough weapons. No armor.

There are no conditions to create this, and contacting other territories is impossible.

Since they were isolated and ostracized by the nobles, there would have been only one means for them to take.

It is an obvious yet passive means of buying time and relying on others.

But this time was different.

Just as Camilla said, they stood up alone. Even if it’s like hitting a rock with an egg.

‘I’ll need to keep an eye on it for a bit.’

There is no reason not to step forward.

Since I chose Ruthmire as a stepping stone to attend the Eastern Noble Meeting, it was right to minimize the damage from those demon beasts to show how to lead and revive a territory.

Ruthmire’s achievement level increases depending on how well he protects the village.

However, we must keep in mind that this is a common thought, a convenient thought that can only be done in games.

“Aaaah!!!”

“Kerry!!”

“Hey, monkey! You only look at me!!”

“Kwoaaar!”

As soon as they saw the demon beasts, the two young men ran out.

The two men, who are probably the biggest force in this territory, are holding the crude and insignificant wooden spears and are fearlessly attacking the demonic beast.

“I tied him up! In the meantime, get rid of everything else!”

““Okay, let’s go!!””

He then says that he has tied them up and tells them to deal with the other demon beasts first.

Obviously, it’s inefficient.

Each time each villager gets injured or loses strength, the achievement level decreases.

If it is only a minor injury, you can get through it without a problem, but if it is a serious injury, it will drop significantly, and in the worst case, if there are casualties, it will drop significantly, leading to a failure of the episode. In one word, it’s a bad ending.

Therefore, as this episode progresses, Karssein will inevitably deal with those magical beasts.

Because this village’s power cannot deal with those demonic beasts.

No matter how high morale is now, there are limits.

That’s why Karssein, who has filled up enough stats, will take care of those magical beasts.

We had to intervene now to prevent achievement levels from being lowered.

but.

Is that really the right answer?

‘no. I can say for sure that that is absolutely not the right answer.’

In this episode, if you look at it coldly, it means that Rusmayer completely relied on Karssein’s power to defeat those demon beasts, right?

That in itself contains too great a contradiction.

Ruthmeyer is periodically attacked by demonic beasts.

Let’s assume that Karssein prevented this attack.

So what about the next attack? What about the next attack?

If no one continues to stop it, what will happen to this village and territory in the end?

This was my blind spot.

No matter how much you raise the achievement level in this raid to the maximum, if Karssein is away, you will have to rely on the power of others.

Either lean on Vagrand’s back, or later call other knights to lean on his back.

Otherwise, in the worst case scenario, ask those nobles for help.

Somehow Ruthmeyer becomes unchanging.

So, I don’t intervene.

Even if the achievement level continues to decline, we should not readily lend a helping hand to them.

This is no longer a game, it’s reality to me.

‘Then we’ll have to devise a way.’

You must greatly reduce your dependence on me. We have to devise a way to do that.

I roll my eyes and look around at the people in the territory who are fighting against the demonic beasts.

The will is already in place.

If you see him attacking the demonic beasts with his teeth clenched, you can see that he has the will to change himself.

then.

‘I guess I’ll have to change my ways.’

Instead of trying to hit rocks with eggs like we do now, we need to crush rocks in an efficient and innovative way.

Since this isn’t a game, I can probably do some work on my part.

“Camilla.”

“Yes. Master.”

“How long can you survive in a territory attacked by demonic beasts?”

Camilla put her hand to her mouth and was lost in thought.

“The demon beasts on Mount Waglu are very strong, but they have no weapons… So around this time, I tend to send support as demon beasts have appeared in other territories. I can last for about an hour.”

“1 hour?”

I was a little surprised.

Those people who have nothing can survive for an hour.

“Well, it’s difficult to explain in detail, but… The reason why Ruthmire suffered so little damage even though she was attacked several times is because of her diet. Because I eat crops grown in rough places, I am able to deal with demonic beasts to a certain extent.”

“Indeed. That’s right.”

When I heard that children were supplementing their nutrition with milk, I wondered why this strange arrangement existed.

But after eating this crop, I realized that wasn’t a setup.

okay. Even though the people of this territory look poor, they are quite strong.

▶After consuming Ruthmeier whole wheat bread, my strength increased by 0.05 for 3 hours!◀

▶If consumed regularly, you can permanently increase your stats!◀

[Threshold: 0.30]

If you think of it as a game and a setting within the game, you’ll pass it over thinking it’s a special food that grants a buff.

What if we accept this as reality?

The saying that bitter medicine is good for the body was true here as well.

Ruthmeier whole wheat and Ruthmeier whole rice, which only come from Ruthmeier.

Indeed, it was a difficult crop for young children to eat.

Harvesting crops is not easy, and even if they are obtained through a difficult process, they are eaten through a difficult process. However, if the rough and sticky texture remains, it will naturally be difficult to digest. There is another reason why milk is needed.

However, seeing as adults ate it all the time and got used to it, it wouldn’t be strange if it had an effect that grants additional stats as they gradually get used to it.

Back to the main point.

1 hours? Then that’s enough.

Is your strength stat permanently increased? It’s an even better condition.

This means that you can carry a heavier and stronger weapon.

“There’s no need for me to do this myself.”

“Yes? What is that…”

“I don’t know what it’s like about the armor. You can make as many weapons as you like.”

“You can make weapons…?”

“Yes. I’ll guide you anywhere, whether it’s the village hall or warehouse. It’s better if it’s a place where miscellaneous things gather.”

You may have been afraid so far, but it’s okay if you let them know and teach you.

Those magical beasts are weak enough to be caught even with Karssein’s stats.

***

“Ugh- why do I have to watch this annoying thing.”

Hemnan Modric, son of Count Modric, woke up yawning.

The Eastern Noble Conference will be held soon.

Therefore, as the eldest son of Count Modric, he is in a position to fulfill his duties as a nobleman.

However, he was just complaining about why he had to attend such a boring meeting.

“What is the importance of that damn Eastern Nobles’ Conference? what? Do nobles need commoners to survive? Is it necessary to save the low-income people for the country to survive?”

Hemnon clicked his tongue and clicked his tongue.

“The blood flowing through the body is different. It’s because there’s a problem with not being able to continue that noble lineage, but we should actually help those people? It doesn’t make sense.”

He closed the book as if he was shocked.

“Rather, we should be thankful that we are treated with honor! Why would we treat those guys like that… ugh! Tsk!”

Commoners are just tools to create the lives of nobles.

Dirty and smelly lowlifes are just the evils of society.

That was Hemnon’s motto.

So, when this time comes, people complain about the imperial family, which only increases useless systems and reduces the authority of the nobility every year.

“Hmm… Well, today is a pretty fun day, right?”

The corner of Hemnon’s mouth twitched sinisterly.

“Master Hemnon. The carriage is ready.”

“Uh huh. Yes.”

When he was told that he had finished preparing, he took a look in the mirror, flicked his bow tie to confirm that there was no problem, and went outside.

The destination of Count Modric’s carriage, with Hemnon riding in it, was to an estate.

With no one helping.

Even the nobles didn’t want to do anything.

This was Ruthmayer, who would have to rely solely on the Count Modric family for all eternity.

I knew long ago that demonic beasts appear periodically in Ruthmire.

So I left it alone on purpose.

Even if you help him, there is no benefit to him since it is not his territory anyway.

If an accident happens there, only the count’s family will lose.

It was actually a good thing that the demonic beasts attacked while I was trying to figure out how to get rid of those old Ruthmire guys who were already alive and bothering me.

But even as time passed, they did not collapse and persevered. Even though it seemed like they were about to collapse, they continued to block the attacks of the demonic beasts, and although they succeeded in isolating them by colluding with other families, it was an unfortunate situation that they kept holding on.

In the meantime, seeing them keep asking for help from the Count, Hemnon desperately found a way to take them down.

“Hehe. Would you like to receive a reward today?”

Even though he knew that demonic beasts had appeared, Hemnon did not bring any knights with him.

Because I know.

The fact that the Ruthmire people have already drained the power of the demonic beasts.

Therefore, it made no difference even if only a few knights were accompanied.

On the other hand, there is an enormous amount to be gained from this.

The traces of killing the demon beast were left by the knights holding swords, that is, the Count Modric family. So, even if there was no way to obtain the valuable trophy of the corpses of those demonic beasts. In the first place, they probably didn’t know that they had lost their strength by just hitting them with wooden sticks.

Because of this help, the village has the right to rip it off, and there is no one who can stop it. There’s no way those stupid commoners would know.

It may not be possible, but in case of a situation, even if there are people who are dissatisfied with this, it is not a territory that belongs to any place.

In this way, Hemnon benefited twofold and threefold.

“Hey. Is it true that Ruthmeyer’s funds are almost gone?”

“It’s a close call this time, but once we collect, there will definitely be no next time.”

“Hoo. Is that so?”

He stuck out his tongue and tasted it.

“Then let’s push the tax a little higher this time. Everyone will take great care of you, so try harder. Got it?”

““Yes, Master Hemnon!””

If you don’t have money to pay, shouldn’t you offer something else?

There are no conditions for making a fortune in that village or any valuable substitutes. If you don’t have money, it’s obvious what you’ll pay for.

‘Hehe. I also heard that there’s a fresh girl who’s almost her age, so I guess I’ll have to kick a little harder this time.’

You won’t have the power to refuse.

Count Modric is not a family that can be easily defeated, so they will follow along obediently.

Hemnon set foot in Ruthmire’s territory with such expectations.

However, the atmosphere was somehow strange.

As always, if you step into the entrance at this time, you will see a scene where the women are unable to stop the demons and are begging for help. But isn’t it too quiet now?

After looking around for a moment, Hemnon went all the way into the village.

And soon my eyes widened.

“Wow!!!”

The residents of Ruthmire Territory were cheering as they stepped on the corpses of the scattered demonic beasts.

‘How on earth did this happen…!’

The foolish citizens of Ruthmeier territory defeated the demon beasts on their own?

The magical beasts of Mount Waglu have hard rocks attached to their entire bodies like a shell, so they cannot be removed without the proper equipment.

However, unlike before, he was clearly dead, without any sign of waking up.

Anyone can see it, as if it proves that they killed it.

‘There’s no way such a weapon exists? No, wait a minute. ‘What on earth is that?’

The shabby wooden spear that I used every day is gone, and that useless scrap metal or club full of fragments comes into view.

Because of that new weapon, the demon beasts were leaving all kinds of wounds and blood stains. In this case, even if they leave a sword mark, they cannot claim that they killed it.

‘Shit! If you do this, you won’t get anything!’

The corpses of demonic beasts.

Clearance costs.

In addition to that, there was a woman I was able to get because I didn’t have enough money.

I can’t get anything.

‘Who are you? What kind of guy! Who would do this to my slaves…!’

It was clear that someone had intervened.

There was no way the stupid people of Ruthmire Territory would have come up with this idea.

I had to find him first.

Hemnon shouted through gritted teeth.

“These guys! I came and you didn’t even say hello!”

The people of the territory turn their heads and look at Hemnon.

It wasn’t a very welcoming look.

It seemed like he had something to say.

But that doesn’t matter to Hemnon.

found.

A person they have never seen before.

“There’s a black hood! Who are you to enter this territory without permission?!”

All you have to do is kick that guy out.

excuse? You can make anything like that.

With the power of Count Modric, anything will be possible.

“Get out of here! How dare you say where this is…!”

-Sreung!

The sword that cuts something passes by Hemnon.

What was cut was Hemnon’s hair.

“Huh, huh?!”

“Master Hemnon!”

“This guy! How dare you aim your sword at Master Hemnon right now!!”

“Dare! How dare you do this to me!!”

Hemnon screamed like a poisonous toad.

“Show your face hidden behind that hood right now and reveal your name! Because I have to look at his face first to decide what punishment to give!”

Then the man wearing the hood finally shows his face.

“I don’t think there’s any need for an introduction, right? Hemnon Modric.”

“Yes, you are…!”

Others don’t know much because their appearance has changed so much.

But Hemnan never forgets.

“Carcein, Bagland…!”

In the past, the memory of him beating her like crazy at Arina Bagland’s coming-of-age ceremony could not be forgotten, even if it was due to a change like this.
