　A small town located in the mountains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a nameless village with nothing special to offer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My father, the previous generation, ran the town, and I took over after he passed away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that is all there is to it, and this town has come to be known as the town of Biden.

　The sacred mountain of death where demons abound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many criminals were once exiled to the mountain as punishment.

　This town may be the last border town.

　Those who sent the sinners away, those who watched over them, and those who made sure that none of them came back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the last place where those who were not sinners stayed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And in time, a town was established here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Those who go to the mountain ahead are the sinners, and those who follow in their footsteps have built small villages and survived while protecting themselves from the demons.

　They are people who should be abhorred, but even this town does not have that much time to spare.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if they are not to be dealt with, if there is something that can only be obtained from them, it has been happening since some time ago.

　They made deals with the demons living in the sacred mountain peaks, and obtained things such as demon pelts and fabrics of Nishiki caterpillars that could not be obtained anywhere else in this town.

　They would then pass them on to countries that had gold to earn income.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, they cultivate only a few fields and are far from wealthy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because of this, this area has not been targeted very often until now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But something has happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Recently, this situation has begun to change drastically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the past, only a limited number of peddlers came to this area, but now a flow of people has begun to flow in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This may have something to do with the fact that there were people who were heading to the Orient from the variant on the sacred mountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The descendants of the former sinners, who were supposed to be hated, were going to the small states and settling down there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A number of people were making their way south to establish themselves as mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now there are those who have come up the other way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that they too are what we might call sinners.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The guilty ones who were occupying cities and towns, towns and villages in small groups of nations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When they were subdued by the nations, they fled and moved northward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of them may have been defeated on the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, a few of them continued to escape and live.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would have been better if they would have changed their minds and lived a normal life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But once they have had their fill, they will never be able to return to a normal life again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They have occupied a town and robbed its inhabitants of money, goods, and women for a living.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They live modestly by farming, which is hard work every day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They can never do that again, and for some reason they have gathered near this town and targeted it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A crowd.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are nothing more than the criminals who occupied the city and fled from here and there to join the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, they are not led by anyone, they just want to do what they want here, and they do not have a clear future in mind as a group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are motivated only by their foolish desire to live comfortably in a small town that does not belong to any country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I had no choice but to resist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is pointless to surrender with your hands up before you are attacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The men will be killed or close to it, and the women will have a miserable future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A group without a leader cannot even negotiate properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And fighting in a normal way was not a good choice either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because, even if they could defeat the crowds in front of them, there was no guarantee that the second and third groups would not come in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A debate arose as to how to deal with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was inevitable now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For the time being, this town has no choice but to belong to somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Having a backer will change things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, this town is being targeted because there is no army to protect it even if we attack it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In such a situation, who can we rely on?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was too early for us to come to a conclusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We had no other choice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The boy who once visited this place and ran through it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A boy who went from a village on a sacred mountain where demons lurked to a group of small nations, and who has continued to play an active role.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The image of a boy named Alphonse Barca came to everyone's mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, he is a hard man who goes to Ermelarda in winter to capture demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even at this early time of the year when it is snowing, he is strong enough to come to us if we ask for help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the other hand, no one else would be able to come to his rescue in such a winter season.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, there is the aftermath of the call for help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After we have rescued them, we do not know what kind of demands they will make of us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Especially, if they expect continuous protection, they are likely to be under the umbrella.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What we are concerned about then is our life afterwards.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, from what I have heard from the peddlers who visit the area, I have heard that his reign is very peaceful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have long heard that the Orient is a very comfortable place to live today because of the boy and the beautiful woman who was by his side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well then, if I may, ladies and gentlemen. I have asked for the help of Alphonse Barca."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I ask this question to the main people in this town, they all nod.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No one objected, knowing that no one else would come to the rescue anyway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the slobbering sinners about to attack us, I guess we can't afford to take our time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, we sent out an urgent message to go to the Orient past the people gathered near the town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Soon after that we were attacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We defended ourselves desperately, but our limits were soon reached.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We are not that strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In any case, we had even requested that a bandit who once appeared near our town be defeated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this time, we fought desperately with all our strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so hope came.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reinforcements came in such a short period of time that the messenger who ran at the very edge of his limits probably only just arrived.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　White beasts in armor and warriors in matching red armor came to our land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the first of these cavalrymen comes an arrowhead, which still keeps up its momentum even though it has passed over the high walls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just after he opened it and read it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The overrun had begun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the blink of an eye the red and white cavalrymen had scattered the sinners who had clung to the walls of the town, making the white snowy landscape bloom with bright red flowers of blood.
