[In the Forest]
Seen, Leon is walking to follow the map provided by Klain, from 7 villages in the northern region, which is, Leon chooses to go to the border of the kingdom to meet with the leader of the royal army of Forlsa.
"This trip is quite long, maybe about 1 to 2 weeks. But I can't wait that long." Leon said while looking at the royal map.
On his way, he saw many villagers who had gone to the capital.
"Eeeh, that fight, too many people yellowing, maybe about 2 thousand people walking." Leon said as he looked at those people.
"I better ask them." Leon said as he approached the rested occupants.
...
A few minutes passed, Leon arrived at the refugees and approached one of the men there.
"Hallo Mr." Leon said hello to one of the people there.
"Ah, hi. Who are you, son.?" Ask someone there named Argus.
"My name is Arjun Leon, I'm on my way to some village in the north. Are you from one of those villages over there.?." Ask Leon.
"Hem, why did you go there.? There's nothing there, son, that place is all ruined." Answer Argus.
"Did you all run away from there.?" Ask Leon.
"We all tried our hardest to escape from our village, then on the way, we met other villagers who happened to be one way to go to the capital." Answer Argus.
"Eem." Leon's voice sat in front of Argus.
"Who are you, son.? What business are you doing there.?" Ask Argus.
"I'm on a mission to free you sir." Answer Leon.
"What liberation mission.? Not even a single royal soldier helped us, there was nothing left there, we were all slaughtered and killed, and our dwellings burned and destroyed. Now we can only evacuate to the capital to ask for compensation to His Majesty the King." Argus said sadly.
"I understand how you feel Sir, the royal soldiers don't want to cause a bare-headed war, so they don't move there." Said Leon.
"Hee.? Then what about the enemy soldiers there, they attacked blindly without any resistance." Argus said emotionally.
"That's why I was given the mission to slaughter them all." Said Leon.
"Haaa.? Are you crazy.?" Argus said dumbfoundedly while looking at Leon.
"It sounds absurd sir, but I don't have a royal identity, so I was asked by your King to take the northern territory of the Forlsa kingdom." Said Leon.
"Are you alone.? Where's your army.?" Ask Leon.
"Sure sir, I'm alone." Answer Leon.
"Heee.?" Argus voice was shocked.
"Ah, but I will try not to shed blood in this liberation mission." Said Leon.
"Unbelievable, why did His Majesty play around on that mission, and he just sent you there by yourself.?" Said the disappointed Argus.
"Maybe that's enough to slaughter them all sir." Leon said seriously.
"Heee.?" Argus voice was shocked.
"Emmm. Did the Forlsa soldiers not come after you.?" Ask Leon.
"They all retreated after burning our residences. I don't know where they're going." Answer Argus.
"Then, how did you escape from the slaughterhouse.?" Ask Leon.
"We left before the enemy troops came to our village. And it was done by other villages as well. But after we left there, there were some citizens who were still preparing to leave the village, then the soldiers killed them all fiercely, and I saw it from a distance, that's really terrible." Argus replied sadly.
"Ep. How do you know that Forlsa's men are going to attack.?" Ask Leon again.
"We were told by the village next door that had been attacked by them, and the news spread very quickly to all the villages in the north." Answer Argus.
"hee. Maybe it's Rin's village." Leon said in his heart.
"Okay sir, thanks for the information. I'll step back first." Leon said as he stood up.
"No need to worry about me sir, I hope your village can be rebuilt again soon." Answer Leon.
"Ah, I hope so, be careful son." Argus.
Then Leon continued on his way to the northern border fortress.
"Who exactly is that boy.?" Argus said inwardly in astonishment.
...
3 Days passed. The Royal Capital.
Thousands of people were gathered outside the entrance of the city. And there were some people who were marching there, some were fast asleep, and some were lying limp.
Everyone demands King Charles to take responsibility for the events that befell their village.
King Charles also held emergency meetings with ministers, nobles, and the military.
"What's the situation outside now.?" King Charles asked seriously.
"Your Majesty, they're all demanding accountability for their village, some people are trying to get into the city, and the guards there have been defeated." Thomas said one of the royal ministers.
"We've already mobilized soldiers to guard His Majesty's gate, they can't all enter here." Klain said seriously.
"Hem, looks like they didn't leave before I came to see them." Said King Charles.
"Your Majesty, it's very dangerous if you go straight there." Said one of the nobles.
"We'd better get them out of here, Your Majesty." Said one of the other nobles.
"We can deploy the military to drive them out." Nobles said.
"That's not what we can do." Said Thomas.
"What do you mean Thomas.?" Ask the noble.
"They are also the people of the kingdom, and they also pay taxes to the palace, we can lose revenue if we expel them." Answer Thomas.
"Ah, Then how about.?" Ask the noble.
"I don't know, they don't have a place to live either." Answer Thomas.
"They also need food and shelter. And if we help them, the government's budget will run low, and we've already lost 20% of the northern mines." Said the nobleman.
"Hem. What do you think Klain.?" Ask King Charles.
"We'd better house them for a while, Your Majesty. They won't leave there either before you give an answer, nor can we expel them by force, if we do, there might be chaos there." Answer Klain.
"We have no supplies to help them Commander." Said Thomas.
"Other, maybe I can compensate for their village, but not for now, we are really already in a state of crisis. Let's just wait for word from Leon, if he manages to take control of some of the villages there, we can send them home." Said King Charles.
"But Your Majesty, they could starve to death there." Klain.
"Others, we have nothing to help thousands of people there, do you understand.?" Said King Charles.
"Aa, aah." Klain's voice was shocked. "True Leon said, this kingdom is also sick, even His Majesty only thinks about his power without thinking about his people. I'm really very disappointed." Klain said in his heart.
...
[A Village]
Leon is seen stalking the Forlsa soldiers from the top of the tree.
"They are very many, this is only one village, not yet another village. How many they actually are." Leon said while looking at the thousands of camp soldiers who were built around one of the northern villages.
"I'd better see them." Leon said as he descended from the top of the tree.
Then he walked over to the soldiers there.
