Episode 1220
There was an incident where residents submitted ‘blank papers’ to vote for the defectors.
Hieromir and the City’s upper echelons decided to ferret out those who had submitted blank ballots, brand them ‘turncoats’, and have them executed.
Of course, they said it was a search, but there was no proper verification. Most of the people who were taken were innocent, and in the process, all kinds of false reports were spread to save their own lives.
So the first ten people were awaiting execution in the city’s square.
“Among these people, there may be someone innocent.”
The searcher in charge of executions walked around with a spear in his hand and spoke. All the people who were dragged in were kneeling on the ground with their arms tied. Sobbing and crying could be heard from all over.
“Don’t blame us for that.”
Wheein!
whiz!
The ten searchers standing behind the prisoners simultaneously activated the spears they held in their hands. Purple flames flickered ominously.
“The reason you are dying is because of the traitors. If they hadn’t been causing chaos in the city, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Oh my!
The searchers all aimed their spears at the prisoners’ necks. A short scream echoed among the onlookers. Some turned their heads away as if they could not bear to look.
“Until the moment of your death, and even after you die, do not forget that the one who killed you was a traitor who was full of hypocrisy and kept talking nonsense about revolution.”
As he moved his hand, all the seekers raised their spears high.
“And all who watch, take note: If the traitors are not rooted out, you will be next.”
The senior searcher lowered his arm, and all the searchers thrust their spears at the prisoners.
“?!”
But the spear didn’t move forward as if it was blocked by something. They struggled and pushed hard against the spear, but it didn’t budge. The senior searcher shouted in annoyance.
“What is everyone doing!”
“Ah, Captain! There’s something on the tip of the spear… …! Ah!”
Choaaaah!
All the windows flew up into the sky.
At the same time, the other ten searchers also lifted one leg and were lifted into the air. Their screams of “Ahhhh!” could be heard far away.
[Oh my, there are people who have the ability to ramble on and on about nonsense.]
Knock, knock.
With a clatter of shoes, a pink-haired woman in a purple dress and waving a fan appeared. The senior searcher activated the spear in his hand and sounded alert.
“Who are you!”
[I don’t like those kinds of toys.]
As she spread out her fan and swung it, the spear in her hand flew into the air.
The senior searcher took a step back with a dumbfounded expression, but he too was left dangling in the air, his legs caught in the spider web.
Waaa …
The audience erupted in cheers as the execution ceremony was broken.
As Elizabeth waved to the crowd with a charming laugh, the spiders came forward and cut the ropes binding the prisoners with their sharp legs.
Then the senior searcher started struggling and shouted.
“Wow, we are carrying out Hieromir’s orders! Do you think you will be safe after doing this?”
[The girl has come under the orders of the great commander.]
Elizabeth spread out her fan, covered her mouth, and squinted her eyes.
[Hieromir? Where do you dare to put such a thing?]
“sleep……!”
Boohoo!
She kicked the senior seeker’s butt, sending him flying far away.
The audience laughed heartily as if they were relieved.
“Wow! You’ve already taken care of them all?”
Flutter!
Following this, Davina and members of the revolutionary army descended from the roof of the building using ropes and arrived in front of the execution platform. They had also just arrived after defeating the searchers coming from behind.
Oh my!
chuck!
Soon, the green flag of the Revolutionary Army and the black flag of the 7th Legion were fluttering crossedly on the scaffold. Davina collected the prisoners and sent a message of thanks to Elizabeth.
“Just as Simon said, your skills are solid.”
[Oh ho ho! This is basic.]
Elizabeth stepped back, and Davina stepped forward to the scaffold and opened her mouth.
“I am Davina, the leader of the revolutionary army! I regret to inform you of this, but Hieromir’s oppression will be even more severe than it is now! If you tell us where the execution ceremony will be held, we will do our best to prevent it! And we will also inform you of the battleship’s gunfire point in advance, so if you evacuate as quickly as possible… …!”
“Put it away!”
A male spectator standing in the front row shouted.
Davina stopped talking, and silence immediately fell around her.
“What are you talking about in front of me! There was nothing wrong with what that searcher said earlier! If it weren’t for you guys, we wouldn’t have been killed by bombs like this! People wouldn’t have been dragged away and executed!”
“Did you expect any praise for cleaning up what happened because of you?”
Woof woof!
Immediately, a vicious atmosphere of cheering and boos erupted.
Then, shouts supporting the revolutionaries and Davina immediately rang out from the audience on the other side.
“Face it, who is in command? It is Hieromir who orders us to be killed!”
“They’re trying to help us! I understand how you feel, but please calm down a little… …!”
There is an uproar of voices from the audience with differing opinions.
People with red necks fight and protest fiercely. Rocks thrown by angry crowds begin to fly.
One of them hit Davina in the forehead, causing blood to flow down her forehead.
[Are you okay?]

A surprised Elizabeth approached, but Davina raised her arms as if to say that she was okay.
“I guess I can’t be a great person like a revolutionary.”
As she muttered, she immediately received a mortar from a revolutionary and fired it into the sky. When the loud sound of gunfire was heard, the audience was startled and fell to their knees or lowered their bodies.
Finally, the surroundings became quiet. She dropped the mortar with a thud and raised her voice.
“Okay! Then you there, sir! I’ll ask you just one thing!”
The man who had initially criticized Davina stared at her with a flinch
“I want nothing but peace. If you want, I can give up my life as much as you want.”
“Then, turn yourself in right now… …!”
“But put your hand on your heart and answer me. If I were executed, would Hieromir stop doing these things?”
For a moment, a terrible silence fell over the room.
Davina’s sudden question made people think about things they had been through without even realizing it.
Even in vain, Hieromir could not say that Davina’s death would end the oppression. They knew from the beginning that the traitor was just making excuses.
“If I die, they’ll kill more people to deal with the remnants of the traitors! They won’t stop even if all the remnants are dead. They’ll keep killing even if there are no more traitors! So there’s only one thing we can do!”
Oh my!
Davina stretches her arms upwards.
Pointed to the tallest tower in the city.
“We must drive out Hieromir!”
All eyes of the audience were drawn to the tallest tower in the city.
Hieromir.
Yes, it was. In fact, the cause was clear.
They simply chose the easier path, saying that there was nothing they could do, that it was impossible, and reporting or trapping their easy-going neighbors as traitors.
“That’s stupid!”
The man spoke in a trembling voice.
“There is no one in this world who can kill Hieromir! You all know that, right?”
“What if I come from another world?”
The crowd roared at Davina’s words.
“Hieromir has been kidnapping people from other worlds to use them as labor. But now the time has come for him to pay the price.”
She clapped her hands.
“If we don’t seize this opportunity, we may never be free from Hieromir’s oppression. Now is our only chance.” * * *
There were successive incidents where executions were stopped and revolutionary forces rescued residents.
From Hieromir’s perspective, ‘turncoat voting’ and ‘execution ceremonies’ are the foundation of the system.
Hieromir, who was further enraged by this refusal, sent his ships to indiscriminately bombard the area where the condemned prisoners were rescued.
Then, public sentiment turned away even more.
Many new recruits joined the revolutionary army, which was no longer a small force. They armed themselves to fight against Hieromir’s forces and responded actively and systematically.
“Catch him!”
“Over there!”
Searchers on flying boards flew in through the narrow alleys, spears raised.
Likewise, a revolutionary on a board lured them into a narrow gap in the city, and the searchers gave chase, only to get caught in the spider’s web and fall to the ground.
-Krrrrrrr!
-Kyaaruk!
The fallen seekers were rushed and captured by countless skeletons and zombies. On the other side, residents holding the green flag of the Revolutionary Army advanced with crude weapons and fought against the fallen seekers.
Because the legions were supporting us from all over, we were able to properly respond to the searchers’ attacks.
“Captain Davina!”
“Catch the author!”
This time, dozens of seekers were swarming after Davina on her board. Davina lifted one of the undead on her shoulder to her chest.
“Please! Lamia!”
-Beep!
Kwarrrrrrung!
The young Lamia of the 7th Legion immediately rained down her specialty, a torrent of water, from above, wiping out dozens of seekers at once.
The combination of Davina, who has good mobility, and Lamia, who has strong firepower, was excellent.
“Well done, Lamia! You’re the best!”
-Beep!
Choke choke choke choke choke!
But the searchers were no pushovers. They had made a detour from behind the factory on the other side. They all raised their mortars to capture Davina.
“Be careful, Davina.”
The man who saw the sight from the detection tower grabbed the handle of the sword. With just that, a sword strike flashed in the air, and the searchers fell down, spraying blood wherever they went.
“Ugh!”
As his colleagues were attacked, one of the searchers on the boat turned around and fled away from the factory. Jules closed his eyes and changed the hand holding the handle of the magic sword.
“Just because it’s behind the wall.”
Zzz!
The huge factory split in half, and the searcher hiding behind it fell down, bleeding. Jules opened his eyes calmly and muttered.
“Don’t think you can avoid it.”
Simon and Lethe were missing, but the revolutionary army led by the magic sword user Jules was actively engaging the seekers. And the legion was there too. Now it was a fight worth fighting.
“Yeah, yeah. Okay, I understand.”
Davina received the communication and spoke to Jules.
“Jules! 5 minutes to bombardment!”
“Okay, let’s run away.”
Jules, Davina, and the Legion fled to another area, evacuating the people. Afterwards, the ship’s Coral gunfire poured down, decimating the area.
Davina sighed in relief.
“It’s fortunate that there are people of sound mind on Hieromir’s side.”
Bombing civilian areas was a matter of considerable controversy even among Hieromir’s battleship pilots, one of whom was passing information to the Revolutionary Army.
In the central area, which was the most fiercely contested area, searchers in armored vehicles were pushing down, and the zombie butler, Mako, and the legion troops were blocking them.
The right front was commanded by Captain Kamibares, while the left front was commanded by Jules and Davina, as it is now.
Sometimes Hieromir himself would step forward, and he would fight by boldly abandoning the front lines he had descended on.
“With the power of this army that Simon has lent us, we will definitely win.”
Davina said as she moved to the next front. Jules, who was on the board next to her, nodded as well.
“It’s good to be motivated, but remember that our goal is to stall for time while the ‘transfer team’ activates the transfer device.”
“of course.”
Jules looked around, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“But I can’t see Arendi.”
“Ah. That guy.”
Davina smiled bitterly.
“Didn’t you say you were going to rescue Sigmund during the chaos? If you brought him back, he would be a force so great that it would turn the tide of the battle.”
“How reckless.”
Jules stared at the prison tower where the criminals were imprisoned. * * *
Taking advantage of the chaos throughout the city, a woman climbed up the wall of the prison tower.
“Huh! Huh!”
Arendi, who had already climbed more than halfway up the wall, stared far below. Then, as if coming to her senses, she shook her head a couple of times, looked up again, and stretched out her hand.
For someone who doesn’t even remember, I don’t know why I’m doing this.
“We will definitely meet, Sigmund!”
She was no longer a being who moved by rationality.
She climbed up the tower with an expression on her face that said she would do something big no matter what.
