The effects of the stimulants were fading, and the pain in his body began to feed back into Wren's nerves.

Not only that, but the dose that should have been diluted after consuming an overdose of stimulants (drugs) is now starting to turn into powerful side effects that begin to drag down his body.

"Whew...... Whew......"

His legs went limp, his eyes began to blur, and tens of thousands of ants began to itch under the ointment......

The aftermath of drug addiction began to erode Wren's sanity little by little.

Before that, though......

Wren, who retrieved Moose and Lavra from the corpses.

It was disgusting, especially since Lavra's body was mutilated. He slaughtered thousands of lives without hesitation in order to survive, but when the thing that threatened Wren no longer existed, the living stood on the land of the dead, and the disgust and instinctive fear were unacceptable to Wren.

He wanted to leave this bloodstained place directly, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to bury this family that was so kind to him, so that the favor owed would be completely repaid.

Wren convinced himself.

Throwing a pair of old men into a dug pit, Wren sets out to find the bodies of Tyketh and Kailin. Although he didn't see them killed, Wren didn't think they would survive.

But the truth was not what he expected.

He found Kailin.

Is this woman still alive?

The naked pregnant woman was covered in burning mucus, and even the non-worldly Wren knew what had happened to this woman. But it was true that things were not as simple as he thought, but more complicated.

This woman was not violated by the mad dog-like pirates, but by the head of the village.

The sturdy middle-aged village chief had been watching this woman for many years. When the pirates came ashore, as the head of the village, he immediately understood his situation, with a group of more than a thousand pirates in front of him, and a door of despair that could never be opened for them as inferior citizens in the rear. At the end of his life, he resolutely chose to follow his instincts and hopes, and raped the woman who happened to come to him to discuss this year's winter harvest.

After that, the intruding pirates easily killed the wretched man and completed his mission in his place. In the end, all Wren saw was the shell of the eyes that had lost any color, and life was worse than death.

With so many rough men and so many rough movements, it is impossible for the fetus in the womb to be spared. The woman who miraculously survived in a corpse was actually dead.

Wren broke the woman's neck and threw her into the dug dirt pit.

This is compassion.

What surprised Wren the most was that Tykes was also alive.

The man who was directly hit by the shelling had a broken hand, and the flesh and skin of his whole body were burned by the flames, and he was already a miracle in itself, and he couldn't see his original face clearly, so he desperately ran back to his homeland, wanting to protect his parents and wife.

Finally, the man who used to face everything with a hearty smile saw a family of three, oh no, a family of four lying in the dirt pit.

"Uncle......

After a moment's hesitation, Wren was ready to say something reassuring. For the first time in his life, Wren was about to say something comforting about others, and he felt that he was touched by himself.

However, this emotion was quickly replaced by numbness.

The man who never died picked up the weapon on the side of the road, cut his throat like this, staggered to the dirt pit, and finally carried it in......

“……”

Wren was silent for a moment, then came out of his incomprehensible emotions and began to laboriously fill the soil into the pit.

This man is self-defeating, this kind of self-suicide without love.

Wren couldn't understand that there was nothing more important to him than to be alive.

Yes, it's not the first time I've felt this way. The scene where the uncle who sells oden is willing to die for that pirate Unan seems to be very similar?

His physical strength gradually began to dissipate, and Wren, who had been overdrawing his vitality, staggered to leave this land full of dead people......

He staggered to the small slope that led to the back hill.

There's an old yellow dog waiting for him.

The ground was covered with snow and ice, and Wren put his peach-hearted captain's coat over the old dog before leaving, fearing that it would freeze to death. Untie the hydration bladder and put the black bread to its mouth, afraid that it will be hungry.

"Bablous ......"

The snow-covered Yellow Dog had been dead for a long time, and the injuries it had suffered before calling for help from Wren had been so severe that it had finally closed its eyes forever due to excessive blood loss.

"Hoo ......"

Breathing began to become rapid, and the side effects of the addiction intensified. Wren's vague consciousness began to hallucinate, and he wanted to pick up the yellow dog and bury it too.

When Wren's blood-stained fingers touched its cold body, the unmistakable smell of death made him retract his fingers in horror.

"Ah......h

His weak legs could no longer support Wren on his feet, and he fell to the snow. The rapid breathing and the increasing speed of his heartbeat made him feel painful, and he stretched out his trembling hands and began to climb on the snow.

Wren hates death, and he wants to escape from this island where there is nothing but corpses......

"Born in the ......"

"Lived for decades......"

On the silver-white snow, the constantly climbing figure is not much better than the moth-eaten. The cold snowflakes fell on his body, clothes, and hair, and were evaporated by the heat of the living man, turning into droplets. Splashed on him, the blood of others, his own, thus coagulated, frozen......

"And then die......"

The frozen blue arm stretched out on the snow with difficulty...... Falling weakly...... Driving heavy bodies...... Eventually, stop moving......

"The life of a man...... Their life...... My life ......"

Hoarse**.

"For what!"

Half a month later, Marin Vando, Navy Headquarters.

The tall navy ran on the promenade with some anxiety, and the word justice was printed on the coat behind his back! He can make the official worship major so anxious, it is enough to see a big event!

"Report!"

"Come in."

Eventually, among the many office buildings, he came to a courtyard in the style of Wano Country.

Trying to calm his breath, the colonel stood up and saluted the man behind the desk!

"Warring States General! On the fall of Rednans......"

Hearing this opening sentence, the man behind the desk stopped reviewing the documents with a headache.

The man who worships the general wears a pair of frog glasses, a long beard tied in a twisted shape on his chin, and a seagull symbolizing the "navy" on his military cap. This is the soldier who is known as one of the three strongest combat forces of the navy, the warring statesman.

"Go on."

"Yes! This catastrophic event was caused by the alliance of six pirates attacking the Rednans Kingdom, and on the same day, the weak Rednans Kingdom was broken, and more than 20% of the citizens and all members of the royal family were killed. After receiving a request for help from the Rednans Kingdom, Brigadier General Benjamin Gonson immediately led his troops to the rescue of the nearest branch, arriving in the Rednans Kingdom in the early morning of the next day to engage the pirates occupying the island. According to the battle damage report submitted by Brigadier General Benjamin Gunson after the battle, our army killed 5,367 pirates, and our army lost 207 men and no prisoners. This is the end of the cataclysmic event of the pirates' invasion of the kingdom of Rednanth. ”

"Whew."

Drinking a cup of strong tea, Sengoku felt very tired.

"Do you think this report is credible?"

"This ...... The lower officials don't know. ”

Even though he knew that there were many loopholes in this report, Major Joyce did not dare to answer. The other party is a brigadier general, even if there is something boring, it is not something that a small major can talk about as much as he is.

Although Sengoku was disappointed by the dishonesty of this young soldier, he did not say much. Sengoku took the report, handed it to the little goat beside him without looking at it, and under the somewhat messy gaze of Major Joyce, the little goat ate the confidential document one bite at a time......

"That guy Gonson, even if you want to take credit and want to go crazy, this report is outrageous. How many people are stationed in his branch? Even if there were no guards left, there would be only more than 2,000 people dispatched. 2,000 against 5,000 pirates, even if he didn't ask for more support, the loss alone was only 200 people, did he really think he could be 10,000 himself? ”

Sengoku sighed, although he didn't care about Okamori's nonsense, as long as the incident was finally resolved, even if he Okamori killed all the pirates alone, Sengoku could give him credit. The problem is that this time a member of the world government has been destroyed, and the entire royal family is not left alive. Whether it was the discussion and pressure on the side of the World Conference, or the doubts on the side of the Five Old Stars, it was difficult to do the work of Sengoku. In addition, at this time, the revolutionary army, which was already somewhat unable to suppress, was making a fuss, and the Warring States felt that even if they split themselves in half, it would be a little difficult to start.

"So, what are the results of your own investigation. I want the truth, Major, and if your findings are not as good as the goats' feed, and your ability is only to this extent, then you can start again with me as a cleaner. ”

Sengoku's calm words made Major Joyce break out in a cold sweat, although he had received a lot of care and gifts from Brigadier General Benjamin Gonson, but in front of this general, all this was empty.

"Yes! Sengoku General! According to the testimony of Brigadier General Benjamin Gonson's men, when they arrived, the pirates on the island had all died for unknown reasons, and they were able to retake the island without a single soldier. ”

"Well, the casualties of those two hundred soldiers are also fabricated?"

"No, it is true that two hundred of our soldiers were killed or wounded in the subsequent search. During the subsequent search, the soldiers found the wounded pirate, who was the bounty hunter [Decapitator] Sid. In the process of capturing him, he alone caused such casualties, and in the end, Brigadier General Benjamin Gunzon personally killed him. ”

"Oh? With his strength, is it better to kill than capture, or ...... Kill somebody to do away with a witness. ”

“……”

The point of suspicion was already directed at a certain big man, and Major Joyce didn't dare to think about it, and stood at his desk.

Sengoku began to sort out his mind with some headaches, and he probably figured out the matter, and the rest was to find the answer from Benjamin Gonson. The question is, since the pirates and the royal family had already been killed before Benjamin Gunson and the others rushed over, who was the force that did it? Could it be the Revolutionary Army......

"Well, if that old bastard could help me, why bother me now."

The thought of the bastard who refused to be promoted to general made Sengoku angry, and there was no need to think that this bastard would definitely leave his job aside now, leisurely where to go on vacation or desert under the banner of exterminating pirates.

Karp ...... Lieutenant General? That, the Warring States General, with all due respect, since Roger's death, the crime rate in the world has become more and more difficult to control, and the pirates have increased by forty percent compared to previous years. Fortunately, Lieutenant General Karp continued to run on the great voyage, eliminating the pirates, striking at the momentum of the pirates, and winning high morale for our army. Thanks to this, a large wave of pirates was suppressed. ”

Speaking of the unserious lieutenant general, Major Joyce said bluntly with a little admiration.

"Confused!"

With a slap on the table, Sengoku was obviously a little angry.

"In the current era, personal martial arts are important, but now that the evil forces are like mushrooms, that guy is not in an important position, digging more seeds of justice, participating in more schemes that can directly affect the big forces, and only caring about his own happiness to fight the pirates! He didn't want to think about how old he was! The navy of our generation will eventually grow old, do we still expect him to fight pirates there with a cane in the future? ”

The higher the status in exchange for the higher the rights, and the rights can often destroy a country in a single sentence. However, because of this right, the Warring States generals are frequently subject to the constraints between the five old stars and more interests. Major Joyce thought to himself, and then thought of Lieutenant General Karp, who was like an old child, but could not distinguish that man from words like power and intrigue.

Sengoku, who already had a headache, suddenly felt his blood pressure a little higher at the mention of Karp's name, and waved his hand away Major Joyce.

In the end, he had to pick up the report sent to him from the intelligence network directly under the Navy Headquarters.

According to the luck of surviving, some mentally disturbed villagers preached.

【Evil Spirits Steaming Red】

"Send me this kind of report too?"

Obvious nonsense, even if it is a description, it is a little more reliable. Shaking his head tiredly, Sengoku casually handed the report to his hand, and the young goat calmly chewed the document report into pieces.
