Heroes Who Can't Fit into the Team and New Encounters

There were only half of the original guards of about a hundred people left, which was almost equivalent to a rout.

The giant wolf commanded by Chloe bit off the mayor's throat, and sent his head to Chloe with his mouth.

"Huh." "Huh."

With the sound of a whirlwind rubbing against the air, Chloe canceled the call of the giant bear and wild boar.

She stood beside the giant wolf, stroking the wolf fur on the neck of the giant wolf with one hand, and raised the mayor's head high with the other hand, ignoring the blood and the saliva of the beast.

She is showing victory.

The princess of the Moon Shadow Clan was boasting of her victory to the surrounding audience.

Not long after, cheers and applause came out sparsely in the town, and the people who were ruled by the evil power uttered a cry of freedom.

Chloe was a little dazed, she had just escaped from the gate of hell.

Until Kerr, who had sheathed his sword, called out to her.

"Hi Chloe, how are you doing?"

Only then did she realize that the "fruit" of victory was already in her hands.

A man with a bad taste.

Chloe also recognizes Kerr's strangeness on a spiritual level.Because this was the second time Chloe heard the greeting of "How are you lately" today, and the third time in her life.

The first time was last night, when Chloe sat next to Kerr, he greeted her in the same way.

But anyway, I won.

The girl held up the head of the defeated, reaping the glory and cheers.

No.13 Let’s chat for a while before getting paid

The revolution launched by the Moon Shadow Clan in Ferges was successful. Chloe and the others captured the remaining town guards, and let their own people start to take over the management of the town and participate in the subsequent construction of the town.

Having said that, in fact, it is nothing more than changing the mayor.Because among the Moon Shadow Clan, only Chloe has management knowledge, and the other people are competent to maintain law and order and use force to carry out Chloe's orders.

That's right, use force.

Who made the town residents begrudge their own lives and let outsiders help them relieve the oppression? They can only hope that Chloe is a slightly better ruler than the previous mayor.

Destiny cannot be controlled by others, it should be in your own hands.

Kerr, who is a brave man, feels particularly deeply about this.Because when he commanded the army of the Kingdom of Ayers to fight against the demons, there were also many local nobles who did not cooperate and were unwilling to let go of their power, which caused serious problems in the mobilization of the army and seriously injured the members of the brave team.

Therefore, Kerr, enraged, cut off the limbs of those nobles and put their corpses on display in the center of the city.

Whenever the kingdom disobeyed the nobles on the demon front, Kerr would always use the cruelest means to let people see the fate of the traitors.

For those who are desperately fighting against the demons, any delay is tantamount to a "betrayal" of human beings.

And it's not that there are no humans who have joined the demons, but these people have all been executed.

Some were killed by Kerr himself, and others were hanged after the Kingdom Trial.

Therefore, Kerr was not the first time to kill humans, he had long been used to blood in battle.Kerr thought he was right, because he couldn't protect his companions if he didn't.

Saintess Falian once advised Kerr not to be too rough, but to be merciful.But Kerr made such an answer after weighing the pros and cons.

"My lord, I want to protect you, and I want to protect the people. The soldiers also believed that their families would be well protected, so they gave their lives. I don't think it is wrong to eliminate some traitors."

"God doesn't want bloody heroes."

"People don't want to see a hero who can't protect them."

"Kel..."

At that time, Saint Falian sighed deeply.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the part of me that I don't care about human feelings that I let the Holy Maiden down.Indeed, compared to me, the handsome and noble Kay may be more kind to others and more in line with God's requirements.

But that was a thing of the past.

Now, Kerr's body has left the brave team and started a new journey in the land of chaos.

He meets Chloe, a young girl, and helps her complete a small revolution.Then on the way to the revolution, he caught a cat-shaped girl named "Beef Noodles".

Then, today is the day Chloe promises to deliver the reward to Kerr.

In the office hall of the mayor's mansion, the hall that was originally full of luxurious decorations was moved out. I heard that Chloe sold most of the unnecessary property of the mayor's house.

Kerr looked at the room, which had almost nothing but documents and desks, and whistled.

Chloe's golden eyes with dark circles looked up, and she looked as if she had been drained by work.

"Come on, come on. Keep working hard, my lord princess."

"Don't call me a princess, and don't call me an adult! You are not our clansman, just call me by my name!"

"These documents... Let me see, the list of items? You really sold a lot of things, is it necessary? Statues, chandeliers, oil paintings... eh? And stools? Even stools? Are you short of money? "

"I'm the mayor of the town... There are a lot of things to deal with, and I can't randomly collect the supplies of the townspeople like before. I have to be frugal... There is still a long way to go to gain the trust of the people."

"Don't worry, according to my experience, the peasants are not unable to survive, and they will not be in turmoil. You just need to do a little better than the previous mayor."

"Do you have experience ruling a town?"

"No."

"Hmph. You don't understand. Anyway, for the 'tribute' in the fall, we now have to prepare enough funds to pay the consul. Hey? Wait, you can read and write?"

Chloe sat dumbfounded in front of the huge desk, looking at Kerr who sat directly on the desk to read the documents.He held the apple in one hand and looked at the files waiting to be processed.

"I will. When I was traveling, a traveling companion taught me."

As a farmer, Kerr didn't like to study, but under Falian's stubborn insistence, Kerr still learned to read and write most of the characters.

"... Kerr, why don't you officially join us. We need talents like you."

In the past few days, after talking with Kerr, Chloe has understood that Kerr has no long-term plans to join the Moon Shadow team.Kerr joined the revolution that day only because Chloe promised to pay him.After getting paid, Kerr plans to travel around the Land of Chaos first, and then settle down and start a family after earning enough money.

Well, maybe after traveling everywhere, I might come back to this small town.This possibility flashed through Kerr's mind, but he didn't say it.

"I want to make more money. I want to go to a bigger place. Otherwise, when will I be able to get married here?"

"Uh...uh...you mean, you haven't met the woman you like here?"

Chloe frowned, she seemed dissatisfied with Kerr's answer.

"I can't say... no... How should I put it, um... I need a kind of throbbing of the soul, yes, the throbbing of the soul."

In fact, in terms of appearance, you can too.The old me may be here to stay.

However, looking at Chloe's serious expression when handling official duties these days, Kerr always felt that something was wrong.

Thinking of the relationship between the three girls in his brave team and Kai, Kerr came to a conclusion in his heart.

Girls who are too ambitious may not be suitable for me.

So Kerr fooled Chloe's question with "throbs of the soul."

"I understand. That is to say, you didn't meet the girl you like here, right? I remember you caught the little girl who was archery that day. You don't mean you only like little girls?"

"I was afraid that she would be hacked to death by Barrett and the others. After all, you were still enemies at that time. Wouldn't it be better to control her in advance and show her harmless position?"

"Then why didn't you kill her as an enemy? Sure enough, you still like little girls, right?"

"She is 16 years old, not too young."

"According to that skinny cat-like figure, it looks like he is only 14 years old at most. You still like little girls, right?"

"Ah—ah, wait, stop. Chloe, let me ask you a question first. What is the 'tribute' you mentioned earlier? I heard that many places in the Chaos Land are not autonomous? You Who do I need to pay taxes to?"

Kerr had no idea why Chloe suddenly became emotionally confused. She looked angry, but Kerr couldn't think of a reason for her anger, so Kerr could only find a way to change the topic.

"..."

Chloe stared at Kerr for a while, and that look made Kerr's heart shudder.

"Oh, forget it. Are you from another place? The Land of Chaos is a place ruled by warlords. There is no ruling country, but there is only one king capital."

"Is there no royal capital of the country?"

"Yes."

Chloe explained to Kerr.

There are many regions in the land of chaos, including small towns, cities, and territories, but there is one and only one king capital——Huanlan King Capital.The rulers in this royal capital will not manage the chaotic place, but the people in the royal capital will collect "supplies" from the surrounding places in spring and autumn every year.

A large area centered on the capital of Huanlan King will be robbed of a huge amount of supplies.Those who collect materials in the capital are called "consuls", and their behavior of collecting materials from surrounding areas is called "tributary".If the supplies collected by the consul in a certain area are not enough, or if the people in the capital are dissatisfied, the capital will send a "law enforcement officer" to kill the local ruler.

But Huanlan King Capital itself doesn't care who rules the surrounding area, they only care about robbery and don't know how to manage it.Therefore, the existence of the Huanlan King's Capital is the chief culprit of the situation in the land of chaos.

Barrett's wife also died in this brutal confiscation of Huanlan King's Capital.

And the mayor of the small town of Ferges is also extremely afraid of the consul, so he will transfer this kind of material pressure to the townspeople every time.He not only confiscated the amount of supplies needed by the capital from the townspeople, but also enriched his own pockets for his own selfish desires. This was the main reason why Chloe and his revolution got the townspeople's help.

"So, you now know something about the land of chaos."

"I probably understand... From this point of view, it is difficult to have a stable life in a place of chaos?"

"It was a good place to go south to the Kingdom of Ayers, but now it is attacked by demons, isn't it? Maybe you can consider working hard to make money, maybe you can live a stable life by becoming a rich man."

"Haha, it's comparable to you there. You changed from a refugee to a mayor in a blink of an eye. But you really don't care about the revolution that day?"

Kerr refers to the possibility of traitors.On the day of the revolution, the mayor escaped from the mansion early and prepared a large number of guards to wait for Chloe and the others outside the city. It is not difficult to imagine that someone leaked the news.

"do not care."

Chloe's young female voice is full of fatigue that only adults can have. Kerr feels that Chloe is like a veteran who has been on the battlefield for several years.

"In this period, no one is easy. Maybe they have to do this? Now that the mayor is dead, no one knows who the traitor is. If you interrogate one by one, you can catch clues, but The autumn tribute time is coming soon, neither I nor everyone has the time and energy."

"Yeah, it's not easy for anyone."

Kerr muttered, "Even the brave are no exception."

It's a pity that Chloe didn't hear Kerr's complaint, but even if she did, she didn't know how to respond.

No.14 Beef Noodles Don’t Want to Leave Home

A small bag of gold coins was placed on the desk, which Chloe was going to give to Kerr.

Kerr was very satisfied.

Speaking of which, Kerr didn't receive much money when he was a hero in the Kingdom of Ayers.Because the materials of the brave are allocated according to the needs, as long as Kerr needs it, no matter what it is, it will be ready for Kerr immediately, and money is unnecessary for the brave.But Kerdang Brave has basically been fighting for the past four years, so how can he have time to enjoy it?This bag of gold coins, which Chloe thought was not much, actually satisfied the strongest brave man in the Kingdom of Ayers.
