However... they just couldn't overcome this fear of the resurrected monsters. Most of the people here were afraid of Kabane's death.

Just when I thought about it, an unexpected scene happened.

Going to the Iron City, passing a relatively open small uphill, Yong Ye saw a Kabane staggering, swaying his body and chasing a man and woman who were obviously a husband and wife.

Before he could come forward to solve this Kabane, in the morning at the station, the steam craftsman who chose to fight against the armed warriors and stood up to protect the wounded who evaded inspection.

That is, the yellow-green hair, wearing the uniform of a steam artisan, with an ordinary glass monocle with obvious no degree and no practical significance, only ordinary decoration along the way, suddenly jumped to the middle of the couple and Kabane.

"...Kabbane reacts to blood!"

With a low cry, the young man took out a dagger from his cuff, and pressed it against his wrist as if he was going to commit suicide by cutting his wrist. Then he gritted his teeth and swung the dagger vigorously.

Blood immediately poured from the wrist and dripped to the ground.

"Ah...! Ugh... Damn, it hurts—it hurts!"

After the self-mutilation, the young steam craftsman, who was clutching his wrist in pain, left a streak of blood on the road and quickly ran to the small wooden hut beside him.

"...Well, what is this doing?"

Yong Ye, who was not far away, turned his head strangely, and was attracted by the behavior of this young man. He couldn't help but stopped and looked at the blood on the road and muttered to himself.

"Is it suicide by cutting the wrist? It doesn't look like it, but how does he know that Kabane will react to blood? This fortress is not the front line, and there is no Kabane in the city. How did research find it? Rely on brain supplements ?"

When looking at the boy speechlessly, to be honest, Yong Ye only commented on his self-harm behavior with the word "stupid".

First of all, even if it is necessary to attract Kabane, there is no need to make such a big wound, and then... the most important thing is that he is a civilian with wounds on his body, and there is no other possibility other than being left in this abandoned fortress.

Even if it is an obvious stab wound, a warrior who is afraid of Kabane, it is absolutely impossible to let such a wounded person go to the Iron Fortress, which means... this person is simply seeking his own death.

Chapter 9 Are you an idiot?

"A partner of justice, a young steam craftsman full of mysterious justice, saving two lives with his own life is really great."

Shaking his head, he just sighed Yong Ye and ignored the boy's movements. He just watched Kabane, who was chasing the couple, and went to the boy's house along the blood trail, but he had no plans to rescue him.

Since he wanted to die, others would naturally have no qualifications to stop him. At least Yong Ye wouldn't waste his energy trying to save a stranger who wanted to die and sacrificed his life for the sake of righteousness.

Finally, he glanced at the cabin and looked at the back of Kabane entering the cabin, and he left here straight away.

In the upper area, which is still some distance away from the station, it is the castle in the center of the fortress, um... not a Western castle, but a Japanese-style castle that flattens the peaks, commonly known as [Mountain Castle].

Relying on the mountain with an inclination of about 80 degrees, a wall more than two meters high was built on the edge of this steep mountain city, and there were also many defensive buildings, forming a protected area that was strong enough to resist the enemy and the outside world. The [Royal Palace] where the owner of the town lives.

Many people in need of shelter instinctively rushed to this place from the lower level, but they were trapped there, because in this short period of time, many Kabane came here along with the crowd.

Unfortunately, Yong Ye happened to be a member of the trapped crowd. He came from the other side of the fortress, and it would be much closer to pass through the [Mountain City], and this was the safest place in the entire fortress, so he happened to be on this.

A large number of civilians who had come up were placed in the house, and the people who gathered in a group seemed to be very panic. Just like the people on the Iron City who had fled before, they could hear the cry of women and children from time to time, for their own sake. Sadness, anger, and even anger at this unfortunate encounter, the people who angered why the samurai did not protect them whispered cursing here.

Ignoring these people, Yong Ye went outside and walked to the edge of the wall.

As far as I can see, on the fence that has become the front line, a large number of samurai continue to use steam guns on it, hitting Kabane who intends to climb up the steep mountain.

Although there are quite a few warriors resisting, but the number of Kabane is not very large, but the steam gun cannot cause enough damage, and the rate of fire is not good. The Kabane who was beaten will quickly get up again and continue to climb. , is a completely endless posture.

In the operation like a machine, it is inevitable for people to make mistakes. When Yongye walked from the corner to the front line, he happened to witness a samurai being grabbed by a Kabane and pulled down with a gun, leaving many people underneath. The sight of Kabane eating out.

On the stairs near the wall, there were several warriors guarding and protecting their masters, and the object of protection surrounded by the warriors was a man with black-gray eyes and long black hair, tied in a high ponytail, with a ponytail on his head. An orange flower, a girl in a pink kimono.

This girl, Yong Ye had met when he got off the bus, and he could be regarded as an acquaintance for the time being. She was the head of the Sifangchuan family, the owner of the fortress, and the daughter of the strong general of Sifangchuan. She seemed to be called... Sifangchuan calamus?

Before Yong Ye could come forward, there were four people with purple scarves wrapped around their necks. They were obviously old people with a certain status in the fortress territory. They passed by him and asked the Sifang Chuanchangpu loudly. .

"Your Excellency Changpu! How long are you going to stay here! If you don't rush to the Iron City, you won't be in a hurry?"

Four clan elders who appeared out of nowhere and obviously had a certain status, surrounded the poor young lady of Sifang Chuanchangpu from four directions.

"But, but, my father said, let's wait for the signal to come..."

"How can there be any signal!"

Before Sifang Chuanqiao, who insisted on obeying her father's words, finished speaking, an old man approached from her side and interrupted her, making this girl who seemed to have no opinion and was somewhat indecisive couldn't help but cringe. Yes, dodge aside.

Sifang Chuanchangpu had also seen it once before. At first glance, it was the young warrior who was protecting her closely. Seeing that the master was making things difficult, he immediately stood up, inserted himself between the two, and made the old man step back a little. Angrily glared at the old man.

"Since the head of the family is not here! Then you should obey the arrangement of the calamus-sama now!"

"Hey... I have nothing to say to you little bastards!"

It seems that there are no rules, just want this old family who escaped for his life. Obviously, he does not intend to obey this young lady who has no opinion, nor does he intend to pay attention to the young warrior. As soon as he stopped, he rejected the warrior's words.

"Can't wait! We'll go first!"

Saying that, the elder suddenly caught a glimpse of Yong Ye, who walked by indifferently to them and was about to go to the fence to take a look. He immediately pointed to several nearby warriors and Yong Ye and ordered, "You, and you, you, You, all follow us! Come with us to the Iron City!"

Yong Ye was dumbfounded for a while at the behavior of the old man, and asked contemptuously, "...Are you an idiot? Why should I protect a burden like you?"

"Hey! You're talking like that! Do you know who we are?! I'm the elder! Apart from the Sifang family, we are the biggest!"

"It's going to be ruined here, and now you're nothing more than a person with no value at all."

"Huh?! What are you talking about... Huh!"

On the head of one of the clan elders who came over with a strong physique and glared at him, a white light cut through the air and cut through the space with terrifying sharpness.

"...I suggest you all be quiet first. If you keep talking nonsense to me and don't get out of the way, then I will resort to force the second time. Are you... ready to lose your head or lower your body?"

Yong Ye's cold threat without the slightest emotion, as well as the shocking sharp flash that made the surrounding warriors completely unable to react, immediately made the old man shut his mouth, and his legs numb due to the cold stroke on his forehead. , slumped to the ground.

With the impact of this squatting sitting, the middle-aged old man on the ground immediately fell off a large piece of hair where the knife had been slashed on the front of his head.

Chapter 10 is just a little devil

"Ah, then... that, Your Excellency Yong Ye, you are... not so good?"

Looking at the old man with a bald head, Sifang Chuanchangpu looked at Yongye, looking a little submissive.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just what he asked for, but you, are you ready to leave? The longer you delay here, the more dangerous it will be."

"But... my father..."

Because of listening to her father's teachings since she was a child, Sifang Chuanchangpu still seemed a little hesitant. After all, her father's words were golden words in her eyes.

"Do you still want to continue talking like this? It will be dawn if you wait, really."
