My Power Of Math Fantasies
6.6 Soldiers

Blowing breeze in the hot sun, making the heat radiated into cold air. The dry ground stepped on as I walked. Silence, the sign of human life feels so thin.

The tall, shady trees are just a few. The bush is so rare. Yet strangely the purple and orange orchids so much scattered like weeds.

It is very large, but the distance between the houses is so far apart. There are only one or two houses I can look at.

My mind is still empty. Until when I stepped on a stone that was large and round enough, I also realized because I fell.

"Am I dead," I muttered again, patting my cape.

Celangak-clinguk, quiet. I was just thinking, a little boy was running. I thought he'd run through me, but it turns out he's headed towards me.

"Sister is awake. How's it still hurt?" tanyakanya.

I was silent, still with a slow loading mind. I looked at him with empty eyes.

"Hello, is brother okay?" ask him again by shaking his hand in front of my face.

I regained my senses and vaguely remembered her words earlier.

"A-ah I'm fine," I said as I scratched the back of the hair. But soon my stomach started to recede. It rang out loud, making a lot of blood flow to the face. My face turned red.

"Have money?" ask him again.

I bought all the clothes I wore. And, none of those things I didn't get. I 'storage' to release inventory. And it's empty too. Shit, I just left without taking the item from the tiger woman.

"empty," I said.

The boy breathed slowly. He then said, "Hold it. The village is also critical of food, even water alone we have difficulties. Fortunately, there are some who open full shops. Yea, unfortunately the one selling the sangar."

"O, oh. Where am I, by the way?"

"Orchid Village."

"Who brought me here? And where are my other colleagues?"

"Sir Resha, bang Nartou, same kek Shou. Fellow sister whose name is akak Resha same Raisa, go to the Aerial Forest looking for food supplies as well as Nartou bang with his friends."

"when? Where are my long-haired female colleagues?"

"Kaak kaak~. He was also where big brother woke up earlier," he said in a swung tone.

"Can take me back to deck. By the way what's your name."

"Rilan."

On the way to the Hall to where I woke up. Reynald and I talked to each other about what happened while I was asleep.

...***...

I opened Mirai's room door. He was still in a limp drooping state closing his eyes.

"It's been 4 days. Not that it's been a long time. How can you survive without eating?" my murmurs questioned his condition anxiously.

"How can you do it yourself?" Reynald returned the question to myself. Obviously I just shrugged, not knowing the answer.

Long after watching Mirai. I walked to the window for some cool air. My eyes caught the breadth of this village. Nothing was hindered, just a few trees growing with tall trunks and small foliage falling.

"Reynald, who are those people?" ask me with curiosity.

Reynald, who was standing at the door of the room, responded, seeing what I pointed to with my eyes. After seeing, Reynald rounded his brownish eye bead. He looked surprised and ran out.

It seems like this is not a good thing, I quickly came out. I closed Mirai's door and locked her with one of the keys I got in Mirai's desk drawer.

"Reynald wait!" I cried after the nimble running steps of the boy.

Reynald was taken to a residential area. But baby, it seems to be too late. The people riding horses in their armor have come to gather the villagers.

It was seen a man in dull clothes and scuffed wounds was with the people who used the armor. The armour that looked like a warrior of a kingdom.

"Pajaaak tax! How many times has it been. You still haven't paid. If you still want to stay here quickly hand over your money."

Say those soldiers. The man wearing armour with the neck adorned with red rose petals led the soldiers. The prisoner who was scarred from being oppressed, stood up and opposed the soldiers.

"You, what are we paying taxes for. Places like this you never notice. Look, those damn orchids ruined our place. There is nothing more from this village, the dry land is infertile, not even potatoes can grow. What else do you expect. Making hunting weapons you banned, let alone—"

Not finished the man continued his words longer, he was kicked by the leader of the soldier. Makes the man bend his knees holding his stomach. Not stopping there, the soldier also kicked the jaw of the native man until the man rolled in pain on the ground.

The residents who saw it, jolted in shock and shouted hysterically at the soldier's abomination. They suddenly did not dare to act, afraid of being like the man before them.

"Tax is tax. Pay it, otherwise we won't hesitate anymore. Hey, you quickly grab this guy," said the soldier, pointing at the man in pain.

Their subordinates took the man by pulling the man's hair. They forced him to stand up and tied the man's hands back.

"If you don't pay the taxes right now, you're going to be like this" said the soldier leader.

I who saw the incident was confused to react. I want to defend the residents here, but when I see the level of the soldiers it is already above the level of the 80s.

Reynald who was watching the incident looks so furious. And he ascended himself in front of the soldiers.

"What is tax. A boy like me knows you are not soldiers but bandits who take our property. Even though you are a soldier but the treatment of us like that is the same as a fake soldier. Instead of protecting and making peace, it is you who break our peace!" Reynald.

"[Lotus]" [1]

Reynald beat the soldier back a few steps. Other residents who saw Reynald's action became carried away.

"Well, what do we have to pay taxes for. The bullshit of this land is yours!" The residents began to grow noisy. And attacked the soldiers.

I who saw their actions said nothing. Approximately the residents here have a level of 40 - 60. While on the side of the soldiers it had a level of around 80-120.

Just information

Lotus, a skill issued by Reynald. Where the attack gave a thrusting effect that was almost like a small explosion.
