Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 631: Abandoned City (4)

An unknown member of the Rose Knights whose name is unknown.

After my question was over, she disappeared before my eyes like a ghost without any chance of catching me.

Of course, I couldn’t get any answer this time either.

But…. Heart

pounding –

the warrior’s heart instinctively senses danger and begins to beat vigorously.

Is this speculation true?

Or am I wrong?

As of now, we don’t know.

However, there are big questions about the royal family’s plan to blow up Biffron entirely.

‘Noark.’

Is Noark aware of this plan?

When I saw that no special troops were deployed on the wall connected to Biffron.

It seems like they definitely know something…

‘What on earth are you both aiming for?’

I feel like my head is going to explode.

I just keep going without stopping to think about it.

And how much longer has passed?

“Haa….”

I don’t know.

As I was doing this, I wondered if a brilliant idea would suddenly come to mind.

Ssssssssssssss-!

Soon, I went down from the castle wall with the strong night wind at my back.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much time given to me.

That’s because the time left is not long after what the Rose Knights said.

’12 hours….’

Does this make sense?

After daybreak and noon, a section of the city explodes.

Oh, of course, the explosion is still just my guess.

Tuk.

Since I didn’t have enough time, I climbed down the wall for a while and then jumped down from an appropriate height.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

There was a little loud noise when I landed, but…

‘Well, everyone has to get up anyway.’

The landlord asks me to vacate the room, so what can I do?

I need to take it out quickly.

Just take everything you need.

***

Just thinking about cancer, there is something hidden in Bifron that I don’t know about.

But…

‘Let’s give up at this point.’

I’ve been researching for several days, but I’ve found zero results.

If I had somehow figured out something inside, it would have been a slightly different story, but at this point, I had no choice.

Leaving Biffron according to the royal family’s instructions.

However, there is one problem here too.

[That’s a strange question. They are not permitted to enter the living area in the first place.]

said the Rose Knight member who brought the king’s message.

It is said that only those from District 7 are allowed to evacuate, and the residents of Bifron cannot be taken with them.

In other words, this city, which has already been abandoned once, is now in a position to be abandoned by us again…

‘It’s easy. This problem.’

Finding a solution wasn’t that difficult.

So…

“Boss Bo? “What are you doing at this time?…”

After coming down from the castle wall, I went straight to Squidward’s house and said,

“Gather the residents of Bifron immediately. “Every single one of them.”

“yes…?”

“I don’t have time, so I’ll explain later when we all get together. Collect it quickly. “I also tell them not to take anything unless it is absolutely necessary.”

You don’t understand what I’m saying, but I wonder if you realize that I’m sincere.

“…Do I have to leave?”

“okay.”

“I’ll collect it quickly! “How much time do you have?”

“Before 9 a.m. However, the sooner the better. “I will gather people from our side, so you should gather only the residents from Bifron.”

“yes!”

When Squidward woke up and told me the exact time, he said he would understand, put on his coat and ran out in a huff.

And…

“A member of the Rose Order came to you?”

“okay. “They said they would open the Area 4 checkpoint around noon, so get out quickly.”

“Was there anything else besides that?”

“Ah, they also said they couldn’t take the Bifron residents out.”

“…I don’t think you would have just said you would know, given your personality?”

“No, I just said I would understand.”

“…?”

“Don’t worry. Because there is a way.”

After sharing the conversation that had just occurred with my colleagues, I asked them to gather the area 7 explorers.

And how long has it been?

As we waited at the dimension square designated as the meeting place, explorers and Bifron residents who heard the news gathered one by one.

“I came here because I said it was urgent…”

“Does anyone know what’s going on?”

“Mr. Peljain said that we should leave quickly…”

As we did not receive a proper explanation, the square became cluttered as people began to gather.

Instead of calmly explaining and calming them down, I continued with the preparation work that needed to be done before noon.

Isn’t it better to try to solve the cause rather than waste time empathizing and worrying?

“paper! “Gather all the clean paper!”

“Everyone who can write, gather together!”

Anyway, as there was a lot to prepare, it wasn’t enough on my own, so I gathered all the manpower I could find and took care of it.

Oh, of course, since being able to write is a prerequisite, Einar was an exception…

“Einar! “Didn’t you say you’ve been learning to read three years ago?”

“…Ha ha ha! Misha! “There is no end to learning!”

Einar can still only read.

To be honest, I don’t understand why I can’t write when I can read.

anyway.

1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours….

The time passed quickly, and when the sun began to dawn, everyone in the city gathered in the square.

So…

“Everyone gather around! “The Baron has something to say!”

Now it was time to explain the current situation to everyone.

Actually, there’s nothing I couldn’t tell you before…

but there’s no reason to repeat the same thing twice.

“Keuhumhum.”

Without needing to prepare a separate podium, he grows into a [giant size] and looks down at the crowd of thousands of people.

And….

“I won’t talk too much! “I received a call from the royal family last night!”

To increase concentration, we talk from the core.

“Oooh!”

“I can’t believe I’m getting a call from the royal family!”

“Can we get out of here now?”

As expected, the crowd reacted strongly.

But the really strange thing is that because I give these speeches so many times, it is very easy to lead to the reaction I want.

‘…Do other people want to do this too?’

I don’t know, but for now it was time to focus on speaking to people.

“Yes! “The royal family said they would open a checkpoint in District 4 to help people escape into the city!”

First of all, I’ve talked about all the key points…

“Oooooh!”

“I bought it!”

“but!”

At this point, it’s time for a twist.

Basically, you have to hear the bad news first for the good news to sound better.

“Damn it, the royal family said we couldn’t all go together.”

The words spoken through the cheers of the crowd instantly filled the square with silence.

“……?”

Thousands of faces filled with doubt and bewilderment.

Suddenly, one of the residents of Biffron, whose eyes I met, looked at me and asked.

“You mean we can’t all go together…? “What does that mean?”

“It’s just as you said. “The royal family said they would only accept people from District 7.”

“So does that mean we are an exception!”

“okay. “The residents of Bifron said they could not be taken with them.”

At least for this moment, there was no need for a name tag.

Just by looking at the expressions of the faces crowded in the square, it was possible to tell who were residents of Bifron and who were from District 7.

“…!!!”

The residents of Bifron opened their eyes wide at my confirmation, which would have been tantamount to a death sentence.

“….”

The Area 7 explorers were speechless, not knowing what kind of expression to make. To that extent, there was a clear divide between joy and sorrow among the crowd.

And in that atmosphere.

“then! “Then why did you call us!!”

Someone in the crowd shouts as if he is venting anger.

“If you’re going to throw it away anyway! “Why did you call me?”

The way he spoke was no longer polite.

It’s not that I can’t understand.

It’s natural for people pushed to the edge of a cliff to react that way.

Okay, so…

“Well, I’m thinking of taking you with me too.”

When I said it with a grin as if it was all a joke, the man who had been spitting out anger looked blank.

“……yes?”

“Are you deaf?”

“Oh no… that’s not it… the royal family definitely won’t accept us…”

Oh, that’s right.

I’m sure they won’t understand.

Disobeying the royal family’s words in this bizarre city is just as absurd.

Even the Bifrons were people who had personally experienced what happened when they rebelled against the royal family.

“It did. And I said I would take you guys with me.”

“…Bah but! Aren’t you a baron!”

“baron? That’s right. But what on earth do you want to say?”

In response to my next question, the man raised his head and looked at me.

And…

“Why…”

The man soon asked me with trembling eyes.

“Why are you doing this for us?”

How ironic.

Actually, this was a question I thought about myself.

In any case, what I am about to do now is not only an action that will not look good in the eyes of the royal family… but

it is also a choice that will make it difficult for me to establish myself in aristocratic society in the future.

But why did I make this decision?

Why on earth was I able to end my worries so easily?

If you think about it, the reason is simple.

“Because I just wanted to.”

“yes…?”

“Why not?”

“Oh no. That’s not what I meant…”

“Anyway, that’s the end of this story. You have to prepare to leave on time, so everyone fill out the documents according to the instructions! That’s it!”

At this point, I finished the notice, and the residents then signed the documents sequentially under the guidance of my colleagues.

And by the time this was all over.

‘It was close.’

At the promised time, the checkpoint door opened.

***

KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

The checkpoint door, which had been closed for a long time, slowly opens with a clicking sound.

gulp-!

The crowd gathered in front of the checkpoint swallows nervously and focuses their attention.

And in those circumstances.

Clap, clap, clap.

The knights carrying the royal emblem on their chests walk out making a clanging sound and form a formation at the entrance of the checkpoint, creating a path.

As if waiting for someone to come after them.

“I’m coming out…!”

In fact, someone’s muttering rang out and a woman appeared among the knights after passing the checkpoint.

plod trudge.

A woman wearing the same knightly uniform as the knights before her.

However, I could tell it was camouflage as soon as I saw it.

That was the Rose Knight member I saw yesterday.

“People…”

Soon, a woman gathered in front of the checkpoint slowly looked around at the crowd and stopped looking at me.

“Is it more than you expected?”

A look that conveys the meaning of what kind of trick is this?

However, there was no particular reason to feel intimidated.

It’s not like I did anything illegal.

“Why are there so many people, is there a problem?”

The woman shook her head indifferently at my sly question.

“No.”

“….”

“Unauthorized people will not be able to pass through this gate anyway.”

Even though it was an unexpected situation, it was quite creepy to see him speak without any excitement.

Should I say that they are women who cannot be tolerated?

Ah, but what I just said was exactly as I suggested.

“Then that’s good. Unauthorized people won’t be able to go through that door anyway.”

When I ask with a grin, the woman’s frown narrows as if she really wasn’t expecting it this time.

“What does that mean, Baron?”

Instead of answering, I took out one of the documents I had prepared and showed it to her, and the woman trailed off.

“This…”

Hehe, I didn’t expect this either.

“What is this?”

Oh, I guess you still don’t understand what this document means.

Well, it’s a solution I never would have thought of if I hadn’t been asking around and hearing all kinds of stories about finding out something hidden in Bifron.

Besides getting out by proving qualifications at the age of fourteen, there was only one other way for Bifron graduates to gain entry.

Sigh.

Without hiding my victorious grin, I explained to the woman what this document meant.

“It’s an employment contract.”

“Employment contract…?”

“To put it simply, from now on, they have become vassals of our Yandel family.”

Oh, by the way, there is no salary.
