(S1) Chapter 3: The Delicious looking souls from Carne Village?

3rd P.O.V.

As many men on horses began riding through the landscape, the sight of a village burning into nothing but smoke as the Men decided to hurry up to the village.

There they were late, at the sight of the very burnt village that had Been reduced to ash and Rubble. They began checking in the rubble and debris of the village in hopes of saving any surviving villager.

Gazef: Vice-Chief. Take a few men and guide the survivors back to E-Rantel.

Vice-Chief: Head Warrior.

Gazef: What?

Vice-Chief: The King's orders were to investigate the group that had been attacking villages near the kingdom and eliminate them.

Gazef: That's right.

Vice-Chief: However, even if the enemy is truly Baharuth knights, only fifty soldiers were dispatched for this mission.

Gazef: It is a mission of utmost secrecy.

Vice-Chief: The nobles are behind this, aren't they? Even among the King's inner circle, many believe that if his most trusted chief warrior were to fail, they would have firepower against the King. So shallow.

Gazef: That's enough.

Vice-Chief: You realize it as well, Head Warrior! This is definitely a trap. Instead of splitting our forces here, we should all head back to E-Rantel at once. Even if we have to sacrifice a few villages, the loss of the most powerful swordsman in the country would be far more grave!

Gazef: I am of common birth.

Vice-Chief: So am I.

Gazef: Living in a village is living next to death. It's not uncommon for us to be attacked by monsters.

Vice-Chief: That's right.

Gazef: Then haven't you ever hoped that the powerful nobles or adventurers would save us?

Vice-Chief: Saying I never hoped would be a lie, but no one ever appeared.

Gazef: Then, let us be the ones to appear before them. Let us show those people who know the dangers, but put their lives on the line. Let us show them the strong which protect the weak!
