This is the Kingdom of Pasquantin, a country that has developed mainly on industry. And there are factories all over the country, where you can see chimneys as far as the eye can see. The sky covered with the noxious smoke emanating from them was a testament to the rugged state of this country.
In the houses lining the gaps between the factories and the chimneys, slaves live, all of whom are stricken with a mysterious disease that kills them early on. But the deaths of the people mean nothing to the country. The lessening can be added to it. Every day, slaves are sent to this country from somewhere else.
Most of the slaves were beastmen, since the king preferred beastmen, but some of them were human. And the majority of those working in the factory were beastmen. But even such beastmen would fall ill and die six months after being sent there. That's the kind of country Pasquantin is.
And the outside of the defensive wall that surrounds the country is decorated with countless protrusions, according to the king's preference.
The needle-filled walls give visitors to the country an aggressive image.

'A life in smoke!　They are self-interested, treat the beastmen like trash, and force them to work. They see life as a disposable tool, and they playfully take it away. And all those sins!　This smoke is fooling me!　Along with your own folly. Tonparl I'll end its life now.

Against the vein of the Charity, Ankh Amadeus preached the reality of the country.
And the white men, trembling with anger and sorrow, gazed at the country where their countrymen were held captive.

Then one of them answered.

'Master Ankh I was wrong. This country cannot be left alone. We must do something about it now....

A woman's voice. A clear female voice.

Yes, Alicia, I cannot give this country a reprieve. Perhaps I can't give it the despair it desperately needs, but sometimes it needs to endure in order to fulfill its great will. But sometimes it is necessary to endure in order to achieve a great will. As an organization, our top priority is to save our people. For once, let that thought go...

Amadeus is talking about something.
But I don't know what that something is.
It was important to them, and that was the way it should be, but as far as this country was concerned, he was the exception and told them they needed to let go of the idea.

'Then we will now begin our charitable work!　Clean up!　Hahahahahaha!　

A sneer echoes through the wilderness.

'-- don't we all like it, volunteers?

And Amadeus laughed sarcastically.





â?





　It doesn't feel good at all!　Not at all!　Not at all!

Tonpar was sweating in the large bathhouse by the beastmen.
The cat tribe, the dog tribe, the bear tribe, the fox tribe ... a variety of beastmen, all of whom were beautiful women.

And Tonpar had hit a certain fox tribe woman.

''How many times do I have to tell you, you know?　I've told you over and over again that I won't be satisfied with that!

"Crap!

Tonpar slapped the foxes on the cheeks. The woman was in tears as she fell on her buttocks.
Apparently, she's not happy with the way her back is flowing. He's a fine man.

'If you weren't so beautiful, you'd have been put to death long ago, wouldn't you?　I'm thankful for that, right?

Yes! Sumi....sen...!

The woman apologized with tears streaming down her face. But Tompard waved her palms up even more.
And the woman meditates on her eyes in fear.

'Lord Thongpaul!

And that's when it happened.

'Nuh-uh!　What?!

A message appears, with a different complexion.

"This is the best part!

The King is furious.
The message was breathing hard and tense.

'The country is under attack!

Yeah?

Tong Paar had a question mark on his dumb face.

'The country is under attack by someone!　Fire rises from multiple factories and the towers collapse!　We have seen the slaves of the town fleeing outside the walls!

What do you mean by that?

Then, realizing the meaning of the expression on Den-decree's face, and leaving the baths behind the slave beasties, Tompard threw on his bathrobe and ran out to the terrace overlooking the whole country.
And from there he could see, just as the messenger had said, the factories on fire and the collapsed chimneys.

'Nah!　What's going on?　What the hell is going on here?!

Tong Paal is impatient, his cheeks and body flesh trembling. His expression is completely distraught.

'I don't know, but one of the soldiers has testified that he saw the men in white.

Dressed in white?

But we don't know who it was.
The only one who came back was the soldier, who had died as soon as he spoke.

"My lord!　It's not safe here!　Please run away now!

A message urging him to abandon the castle and flee.

'Don't be crazy!　I'm the king, remember?　King Tong Paar?

But we can't go on like this! They are persistent!

Tong Paar interrupted his words.

To Tong Paar, this castle is an asset.
Each room has its own "collection" that he has worked so hard to collect, and that is all he has.

I will defend it at all costs!　Whatever it takes, yoo-hoo!

It wasn't so easy to let go.





o.





　The Kingdom of Pasquantin, the factory area.
There, the vein of the benevolent bloodline led by Ankh Amadeus was there. However, most of this country is a factory, and there are no dwellings for the people to live in. The countless pipes extending from the factories reach between each residence and fill the spaces between them.

There is no need to disperse!　Our lives are important!　We must save our people!

A number of beastmen, dwarves, and humans, who were being forced to work as slaves from each factory, flew out.
Then the white ones called out to each of them, calling them to take refuge outside the country for a time. Once the evacuation was complete, Amadeus used a strange power to destroy them from the factory. 'I don't know if it's magic or skill,' he said.

'There's one person left in that factory!　Rescue all of them!

Amadeus had excellent sensing, and had set up a sensing net across the country. Then he called for evacuation to the houses, factories and buildings in front of him that he didn't understand.
The actual rescuers were the Maccabees, and Amadeus was the commander in chief.

We'll sort out the 'adapters' later!　Evacuation first!

Amadeus walked around the country, checking every single one of them, freeing the slaves. And in every corner of the country there were corpses of guards and knights lying about, but mainly those who had been killed by the White One. But these were mainly those who had been killed by the White One. Those who stood against Amadeus would turn to blood or disappear without a trace. Afterwards, nothing remains, as if there was no life in the beginning.

''The Penetrating Magic Sword (Magic Piercing)!''

Just then, a certain white one thrust the blue luminescent tip of his sword into the guard.
The sword reduced the friction and pierced the guard's belly as the blade entered the tofu.

''Gokha!''

The guards vomit blood.
Then the white one raises his sword upwards as it is.

''Hiyah!''

With a spirited effort, the tofu is cut. A cut is made in the abdomen, chest, neck, and face, in that order, and then to the brain.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

With a roar of laughter, the guards, who had more than half of their bodies split apart in a puck, fell down, bleeding as it was.

''d*mn you humans!''

One who curses and spits out words at the person lying in front of him. But .....

You!

At that moment, another knight's blade approached the white one who was caught off guard and showed an opening.

''Whoa!''

The White One was caught off guard and his body did not react, although he was able to see it.
But in the next moment, in front of the white one's eyes, the sprinkled knight turned into a tide of blood.
It disappeared completely without even a dance of fresh blood. All that was left was a shower of blood visible on the ground.

''........''

The white one's expression is obscured by the death mask, but he's probably upset.
But soon the turmoil disappears, and then you realize what has happened.

"Amadeus, my Lord...

Amadeus had seen everything. And he was always watching to make sure that his people were not killed. There isn't an inch of space to spare.

'Be alert. Rescue is the priority. "This time, be patient.

Forgetting his mission, he called attention to his companion, who for a moment drifted into a personal affair. But Amadeus was never angry.

'More!　I'm sorry!

'Good!　You need to change your mind!

Oh, thank you!

Then the White One bowed his head and waved his sword again to exterminate the humans.

Amadeus adored his companions. And he understood their mental illnesses. That's why he didn't blame them too strongly, but first and foremost showed understanding and reassured them that he wasn't going to let them feel guilty. However, there was something in there that was difficult to understand, like an abnormality.

What is "not belonging" (Machavelle)?

--They are not a part of the category.

But they are inseparable, that is how it is.
They wear white death masks and robes that hide their identities, but are they beastmen or dwarves?　Or maybe it's an elf. But I can only assure you that they are not human.
Considering their unusual hatred and vengefulness towards humans, they can't possibly be human.

'It's about time we started moving ... hurry up and evacuate!　When it's done!　I'm going to infiltrate the royal castle!

Amadeus gave the command and hastened the Jishi's bloodline.

And that's when. Then a knight wearing black steel armor appears.
The knight, whose entire body is covered in black steel armor, hides his face with a strange helmet that looks like a distorted human face, and he clutches a huge greatsword in both hands.

''You are Ankh Amadeus?''

The Black Steel Knight asked the huge man in front of him as he checked the white ones scattered around him.
Unlike Tonpar and his entourage, he may have been more informed about the world. But if the knight chief knew, why couldn't the king or the executive know that they were the blood of the Charity?
That's because the 'Bloodline of the Jishi' is still a new organization. And the fact that it was mainly engaged in activities to help people was the reason why it was out of the public's radar, and it was impossible to even get an idea to get there. In other words, common sense tells us that it's impossible. It was impossible for the charity organization "Bloodline of the Charity" to attack a country.
And from that background, that was how special this Black Steel Knight was.

''He's obviously different from the others, isn't he?　What are you?

"Aschwarts Geltaltalt, knight of the Clan of the Golden Wall, the King's personal unit.

Arshwartz replied in a hushed voice, holding his greatsword with its mighty black glowing blade extended.

''A unit directly under the king?　　Oh, I see, the Band of Wisdom.

Amadeus seemed to have never heard of the 'Australian Wall Gang' before. In other words, it meant that his knowledge of this country's security was thin. The fact that he decided to attack in spite of this may be what makes him so unusual.
It was this "Band of Walls" that appeared immediately after the attack on the factory area. But as soon as Ankh Amadeus saw them, he decided that they were too young to deal with them and immediately blew their heads off.
There are several such headless corpses lying nearby.
And beside them, the same as this Archwaltz, a greatsword had fallen on the ground.
Amadeus had some doubts about this huge sword in particular, but the words of the man in front of him convinced him.
Just then, Arshwartz began chanting. His expression was obscured by his helmet, but his voice was full of power.

''The Goujin's Protectorate [Protect Protect Protect]!　[Fire Sword]!　[Power building up (sterotain)]!　[Pryg power]

Armor with a red aura, and a great sword covered in flames. Bloated muscles and legs bathed in a blue aura. Arshwartz performed a continuous chant.

'Ho? ...isn't that nice?　But it's rubbish. It's a game level--

Then, ignoring Amadeus' words, Arshwartz continued chanting further.

''The Twelve Pearls of Wave Motion (Tual Magram)!

Twelve magic bullets were floating around the Black Steel Knight as he activated more magic, protecting him.

''I will not let my guard down!　Protect the country!　They died proudly, and for their sake!　I will do everything in my power to bring you down!　Fear me!　Trembling with fear at his own failures! ....what! ..........

Then suddenly, the knight's rage stopped. And when I looked, I saw that the knight was clearly distraught and upset.

''What...........''

--The magic disappeared in an instant.

The magic that was chanted continuously and activated. And the 12 magic bullets that appeared after further chanting. All of them disappeared in an instant. Now, there is no magic in the black steel knight himself or in the surroundings.

''Did you hear me wrong?　Didn't I just hear you say "proud"?

Ah..........

Unable to speak, Arshwartz drops his sword. He was so upset that he didn't realize his own loss of will to fight. But already, Arshtwarz understands. He realized that when the strongest warfare techniques he had cultivated in his knightly life up to now were scraped away like a piece of junk, he had no chance of winning.

''Don't get me wrong?　Your pride is not worth a shit. You're nothing more than a putrid piece of filth. It's almost as if the pig has brainwashed you, isn't it?　Hahahahahahaha!　That's hilarious!　Pride!　The foolish one is mistaking himself for life!　Hahahahahaha!

Then the greatsword that fell to the ground slowly floated up and it settled into Amadeus' hands.

'Let me teach the misunderstood knight how to use the sword.

Then Amadeus held the greatsword with one hand, gently approached it, and placed the tip on the knight's stomach, which was unable to move from fear.

''--Imperial Sword Art [Stiff Thrust Breaking Blade]

The blade of the great sword pierced the knight's stomach with a momentary swiftness.

''Goffaht!''

And the body of the knight burst out as blood spat out of his mouth. As the humanoid armor became like a cracked biscuit, a glimpse of the already misshapen chunk of flesh was glimpsed and scattered around with the armor. It's not magic. It's a simple slash.
But the momentum of the unleashed slash would not subside on its own. The unstoppable slash cut through the sky and flew straight at the ground while gouging out the ground. Then, after destroying the main gate of the royal castle in the distance, it ravaged the garden and disappeared after hitting the castle pillars.
The surroundings fell silent at the sight. Although it was in the same mercy bloodline, Amadeus' power was out of the ordinary.

Archwaltz is a skilled knight. Most of all, he is the head of the 'Band of Great Wall' and the only former commoner who was given the title of 'nobleman' by King Pasquantin. But why would Tompard, who seems to oppress beastmen, make a commoner into a nobleman?　That's not particularly questionable. That's how self-centered Tompard is. Whoever he is, he doesn't care about anyone but himself. Arshwartz's swordsmanship was that much more trustworthy. That's why Tompard stood by. That's all there was to it. There was no particular emotion there.
----.

Annihilate the kingdom knights released into the country, and then Amadeus judged that there was no problem for the time being. There is no sign of knights in the deployed sensing net, only the bloodline of the Jishi and the things of the freed slaves. Amadeus had seen the entire country, including the royal castle. But there were still some of the untouched factories left intact.

'We will now infiltrate the royal castle. Alicia--

For some reason Amadeus was in a hurry to raid.

'Yes!'

Then a certain white man comes forward with an army.

He says, "Get everyone together, rescue your people from the rest of the factory, and lead them outside the walls. I'll take Romero and Rana and enter the castle first. When you're done, take a few men and search the castle. Then we'll join you. We'll keep you posted on the situation and the location of our people in the castle via telephonic transmission. "I sense a rat in the air and we'll get out of here as soon as we finish what we started and leave the country behind. Next stop, Utopia.

All right. --So, guys!　We're going to search the factory!

Then, following the command of the woman called Alicia, the vibrancy of the bloodline of the Charity resounded.
Then, leaving the three of them behind, the "non-belongers" (Machavelle) went to the factory.

Then, Romero. Then Romero, Rana. Then, Romero, Rana, we'll go too--

Two white men lined up on either side of him. Would they be particularly trustworthy to Amadeus?　But its true identity is obscured by the white death mask and robes.

'Master Ankh, I can see everyone's fatigue.

The one who speaks this way is the one who was called Romero. Judging from his voice, he must be a man.

''Well then, as soon as it's over, I'll let him rest once. I've already sent a reconnaissance team to Utopia, but I'll be enough to make the transition on my own.

I'm sorry for your loss.

'You'll treat everyone when you're done, okay?　I'll help you.　

I'm sorry, sir.

Then the three of them go through the main gate.

'Rana?　If you find the King of Pigs, don't kill him straight away.　Rescue is our top priority. But don't worry. We're going to make sure he gets what he deserves. I'm not gonna let him die for free.

I understand.

Rana then bows her head deeply. From her voice, she must be a woman. I could see her brown skin through the gaps in her robe that fluttered in the wind. Apparently, she has a grudge against Tong Paar, but I don't have enough information to judge. The king is not involved, it could simply be a grudge against humans, royalty or nobility.

''Thank you for your consideration, sir.''

Don't worry about it, and I've got a lot on his mind, too, you know?　Not as much as you, but I have a certain amount of resentment.

They passed through the main gate and then the gardens to the royal castle. Then several guards appeared from the shadows of the garden. And as if to block the escape route of the three, they surrounded them from both sides.
But it was in that moment when the figure was visible.

-- everything danced in blood.

The flowers in the garden, which were bright with various colors, turned red in an instant.

You're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these flowers next time you're dead?　Utterly ... it's a sin to be born.

Amadeus doesn't look at him and mutters to himself. Then Romero replies, "Quite right," and Lana replies, "They are indeed worthless creatures.
The three of them disappeared into the royal castle while having such an idle conversation.
