E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 103 - The Void of Power

Leo was actually hiding along with his entire subordinates just as he said. The only reason to get out of the city was to go to war.

Although in reality, Leo only fled to the nearby forest to wait for the power vacuum.

Under the continuous snowfall, the group of Leo who currently numbered around 100 people were silent in the forest. Waiting for the day that the main troops left and left Venice City.

The day changed to Sunday.

And finally, after 2 weeks of waiting with a simple camp and a limited supply of food, Leo saw it.

A large army in numbers. All armed with whatever they have.

Some are seen carrying only wooden spears that look weathered. Several more were seen carrying kitchen knives and butcher knives. While the rest appear to only carry a hammer or even bare hands.

"Dim, what are you planning to do after this?" Reina asked who was next to him. He is seen kneeling to hide behind the dried bush twigs with both hands hugging his own body because of the cold.

"We'll wait three more days. With such a large number of troops, I'm sure his coordination will be very complicated. Let them go completely." Reply Leo with a breath that looks to cause the cold smoke.

"But our food supply...."

"Hold it off in a minute. We'll be done soon."

In the end, they waited for 2 days to pass before deciding to return to the city. Entering the previously crowded place.

Today, Venice looks like a ghost town.

The only people seen inside were women and old men and small children.

And as Leo had expected, it had not been until a few minutes that they had entered the City....

"No! Release him! Don't bother my son!" Shouted a woman while trying to pull her daughter.

Some of the people around him could only remain silent. Stringing their clothes to withstand the cold that pierced into his bones.

No one tried to stop the old man. No one looked at them either. And apparently, no one cares about them.

"Whoever! Help us! Please save my daughter from this crazy man!" Shouted the woman.

Not long ago....

'Twoaarr!!!'

A voice as loud as a bolt of lightning could be heard popping the ears of many people. What happened after that was the figure of the old man who had fallen to the ground with blood flowing from his head.

"Hm.... I think it's too strong for a normal human being. I'll lower his strength a little." Said Leo while arranging his magic weapon.

On the other hand, Selene had jumped towards the woman and calmed her down.

But unfortunately, the expression that the woman showed was not an expression of pleasure. Except for an expression of fear.

It's like coming out of a tiger's cage and into a dragon's nest. The woman realized The man who was currently walking towards her was much more dangerous than the old man.

"Selene, clean the body." Said Leo.

"With immediate."

After that, Leo's gaze pointed right towards the figure of the Mother and her daughter.

"What's wrong? Didn't you ask for help just now? Can't say thank you?" Ask Leo.

The woman immediately shook her head and thanked Leo with all her might. It was like his last chance to live.

Many others began to notice the figure of the brownish-haired young man in beautiful noble clothes.

They all stared at Leo with the same gaze. It was a gaze filled with confusion and fear.

Leo who noticed it just smiled. Moreover, the situation within this City was completely within his estimation.

But it was still too soon for him to take action. He needs to make sure of one thing. That is whether this city is completely empty of power or not. And to do so, he has only one purpose.

That is to go to the city hall right now. Leaving everyone who was looking at him with a frightened look.

Moments passed, Leo and his flock along with about 50 soldiers finally arrived before the town hall.

Far beyond his expectations, this town hall was completely empty. No. gabe.... More precisely very minimal guard.

What was in this place was only about 6 soldiers who looked completely untrained. They even look confused with the arrival of Leo at that place.

"Sir, what are you going to do?" Ask Selene curiously.

"Make sure that the person who is supposed to be in charge of this city actually carries out his duties. If not, I'll be happy to replace him." Reply Leo with a smile.

He got off the horse-drawn carriage with an appearance that was completely indistinguishable from that of a noble.

And with a shrewd look, he immediately directed the conversation with the skimpy guard in the direction he wanted.

"Who are you?!" Ask the guard in fear.

"Hmm? Didn't your master say that I was coming?" Ask Leo with a sharp look.

That question also made the entire guards in this place become even more confused. The lack of response from them makes Leo very confident, that the coordination of the city's ruler is really minimal against his subordinates.

"Sorry but...."

"Alexander Leonardo von Rustellia. Even with that name you don't recognize me?" Leo asked back with a face filled with confidence.

There was not the slightest doubt on his face when he said that. Whereas all of his subordinates who were behind had begun to understand the attitude of his Master. And not so surprised by this.

Rustellia is one of the largest family names in the Rustfell region. It could be said, the main family who became the ruler of the Rustfell region itself.

Achibald was the current head of the family and who had absolute power over this region.

While other family members, including branch families, there are too many to be almost impossible to memorize entirely.

Leo's knowledge of it makes it easy to harness and exploit it. Especially to the interlocutor who does not know it at all.

Just by hearing that name, all the guards immediately opened the way while paying their respects.

"Pardon us for not realizing you, Master!" Reply to them all.

"No problem." Reply Leo who immediately walked back towards his chariot. After all, it was not appropriate for the figure of a noble to walk in this place.

But before that, one of the guards had asked what the purpose was to come here.

And with ease, Leo answered.

"Confirming the performance of your Landlords in this Venice city. If it's bad, I'll replace it." Reply Leo with a cold look.

His chariot began to move into the courtyard of the vast city hall. Leaving the guards with bewildered faces.

Some of them seemed to start talking about Leo just now. But no one doubted him because of his overly convincing attitude. Plus, with his appearance.

Until finally....

Leo along with Reina and Selene entered the place. Ferry, Artra and Artemis are waiting outside.

When Leo arrived at the village hall....

The view inside was so bleak. Some workers were seen lazing around while playing women. Whether they were a servant or not, Leo could not know for sure.

But one thing he knows.

"The women don't seem so happy." Said Leo with a face that remained flat while passing through all the rooms.

"You're right, sir. Or rather.... They look forced." Reply Selene.

"They don't even think about closing the door?" Complain Reina with an annoyed face.

Ignoring all those lowly employees, Leo's goal is only one. That is to meet the ruler of Venice City itself.

Finding the room is not difficult. Seeing from the richness of the existing decorations with beautiful carpets and lamps, Leo soon knew that it was his room.

'Braa!'

Leo kicked that door. See what's inside.

The reactions of the three of them were quite different.

On one hand, Reina looked so surprised while covering her mouth with both hands.

On the other hand, Selene only showed feelings of annoyance and disgust.

Then Leo himself, he just narrowed his eyes a little while smiling with satisfaction.

"So this is what the city lord did when the chaos hit this place?" Leo asked as he walked past several bodies of women lying helplessly on the floor.

A few more are seen hanging on an associated rope on the ceiling of this room.

While the remaining 3 appear to be being 'used' by the ruler of this city.

"Huh?! Whoareyou?! Why did you come here?!" Ask the ruler.

It has a fairly large and stocky body with muscles that look so gallant. Even so, his actions were nothing more than a coward in Leo's eyes.

"I'll say it once, Bernerd. Do you want to work on this town or die?" Ask Leo.

The city lord looked so upset after hearing the question from Leo.

"Huh?! You think you can...."

'Daar!'

A shot had been aimed right at the head of the Man named Bernerd. Killed him instantly without the slightest additional warning from Leo.

"Then I'll take over this town. Selene, Reina, help these women. I'll take care of the other rotten employees." Said Leo.

Selene who heard him immediately nodded her head and began to save all the women who had slave marks on that part of her body.

Although Reina....

He can only be silent. Looking at the figure of Dimas who is currently starting to show his new identity. And in his heart....

'Are you always this cruel?'
