Chapter 231

Public support

There was a declaration ceremony for a unified Korea, but it had not yet taken control of all of North Korea..

However, more urgent than that was the mission to provide support to the people in the occupied North Korean region, which had to resolve the cooperation of the residents and their food and medical issues..

Fortunately, the South Korean military were veterans who were well-versed in such civilian support missions, and the civilian support mission in preparation for unification had been prepared for a long time, so there was no problem..

The problem was that the Knights of the Pantheon were in charge of supporting the people around Pyongyang.······.

"It's very different from what I thought.?"

The ROK military officer was impressed by the knights of the pantheon active on the battlefield..

they were ruthless.

They were not bound by the Geneva Conventions, human rights ordinances, or laws of war, and trampled on their enemies to the point of cruelty..

In particular, there was no forgiveness for the North Korean army, who were followers of the devil, and their treatment was so vicious that even the South Korean army spoke out..

Therefore, I was worried that such ruthless rule would also be applied to public support missions dealing with North Korean residents..

But what is this? Aren't the residents of the occupied territory occupied by the Knights more obedient than expected? In particular, the area occupied by the original Knights of the Lionheart, the Burning Sword Order, had particularly high evaluation scores..

'At first glance, it looks like they are destroying everything on sight, but that is not the case. He is so friendly towards ordinary people that you wonder if they are the same person..'

Support for the civilians in occupied territories is an essential virtue of a modern military..

This is because it is of great help to gain the favor of residents by maintaining public facilities or supporting people's livelihoods and by not acting hostilely..

Do the medieval knights of this world understand that? no.

Unlike the Knights of the Pantheon and Naju Knights, which are made up of modern Earthlings, the leaders are people who lived under different values..

Nevertheless, the level of friendliness toward the powerless ordinary people was very high..

'Basically, they have a strong friendliness toward humans. Is it because of bickering with other races such as orcs or goblins??'

So one officer asked.

"We looked at the status of public support for the Pantheon Unit. It was very successful. Residents are also responding well. What secret do you have??"

Leon shrugged and answered this question..

"carrot and stick."

It was a more ordinary answer than I thought..

"Why do you do that?"

"Oh no. It was a bit of an ordinary answer... so I was expecting there to be some special method.."

"That's the nature of dealing with the people. Ensure rewards and punishments and instill confidence that, as a ruler, you will keep them fed and safe. Then they should also be loyal to the king and nobles.."

It was the most basic of the basics in the history of government. The problem was that I couldn't follow the basics..

"Isn’t this emphasized throughout your scriptures? Love your people and rule with virtue. Even if you just do the basics, people will follow you.."

"Have you also read Confucian scriptures? You have great knowledge.."

"It's much better than democracy."

"Big, big···!"

As a soldier of a democratic country and an officer standing in front of a nobleman of his time, these were embarrassing words that I could neither confirm nor deny..

"Well, you guys are surprisingly knowledgeable about medical knowledge.?"

The officer looked at the knights with flaming swords who were giving help to the people..

They were born fighters, but what was most surprising was their extensive medical knowledge..

Although it was mainly limited to external injuries, the Kingdom of Lionheart always consumes blessed crops, so there is no chance of getting sick inside the body, so it was natural..

"Sir Raihar! I brought a patient here! He said he came from the next town.!"

See, the North Korean people came to the Knights of the Burning Sword barracks even though the ROK Army medical corps was nearby..

"Lord Hari, lie down on this side.."

It was truly an awkward sight to see a member of the Knights of the Holy Grail in armor performing medical treatment, but Sir Raihar examined the patient skillfully..

"Where did the old man come in sick??"

"Well, I can't see well.······."

"I can't say I'm suffering from old age, but it's because I don't like eating. It's called glaucoma, and only babies who were cursed by the wizards of the School of Destruction got this disease... This is a very strange land.."

As Lord Raihar said that, he ignited fire in his finger and immediately pointed it at the old man's eyes..

"Wow!!"

"Uh huh! They squeal that it is safe! quiet!"

When I pull his earlobe as if I were a child, the old man pauses because of the pain. Only then did she realize that the fire in her eyes had not harmed her at all..

"What the hell is this?······."

"Now that all the bad energy has been kicked out, your eyes should be clearer.."

It was true. The old man trembled as he realized that his eyes, which had been dim until just now, were as bright as the East Sea..

"Whoa, snow······."

While he was amazed at the miracle that his eye, which had been blind for twenty years, was healed, Raihar slapped the old man's buttocks and pushed him away..

"I went and ate some of the soup they gave me, received some training from Priest Choi, and then left. That commoner bitch! Stop taking up space, bow and leave.!"

"Go, thank you! thank you!"

The old man, with a half-mad expression on his face, naturally went to the tent where the Demera priests were gathered, received education on the doctrine of the pantheon, and returned..

There was a scene that was on the ambiguous border between something heartwarming and sacred, but it didn't necessarily show this good scene..

Manshinjeon People's Army POW Camp.

Here, the North Korean soldiers who surrendered one after another after Pyongyang was completely occupied by the Pantheon were held..

"Hey, let go of this! Let go, you bastards!"

"The Yankees' minions! dirty capitalist!"

Most of the People's Army obediently entered the prisoner of war camp, but there were many who resisted..

"Oh, kinda! Let's stay quietly for a while!"

"Everyone calm down and go in in order.!"

Pantheon Naju Knights. Kim Jae-hyuk and Han Su-ho tied up young stormtroopers who were resisting partisan activities and dragged them to the prisoner of war camp..

"Sir Jaehyuk Kim! Sir Suho Han!"

Sir Tarhan, the POW camp manager, welcomes the two at the entrance..

He was taking care of prisoners and treating injuries sustained during the battle with Rakshahr..

"Ah, Lord Tarhan. Are you okay??"

He responded with a chuckle at Suho’s polite attitude..

"Haha, my body aches. If His Majesty had not ordered him to rest, he would have mounted his horse and headed to the battlefield long ago.."

"There are no big fights outside either. Lord Raihar is also doing the tedious work of treating patients and evangelizing.."

"They say they would rather fight.."

"Chuckle, I'm still jealous of smelling the outside air.."

Even if there is resistance activity, it is only a small-scale guerrilla activity..

Their resistance was meaningless as the resistance group, the largest faction of the remaining People's Army, had already surrendered..

"By the way, what about Lord Tarhan? I heard that while managing prisoners, they also tried summary trials.."

"Are you okay? Without a judge or prosecutor······."

"Members of the Holy Grail Order have the legal authority to serve as judges in trials. In court, this work is the prosecutor and judge.."

It's surprising, but what on earth were the Knights of Lionheart??

It's like the right to conscription or the right to war. Even so, the highest level of society has legal authority..

It was a powerful power that could easily be abused, but surprisingly, they were honest elites who handled their affairs thoroughly through FM..

"Well, normally a judge who has been appointed after studying kingdom law does it, but in an emergency, there is nothing we can do. We at Lionheart understand and do not infringe on each other's rights.."

It seems like the country is running well even though everything is handled rationally, so there is nothing to say here either..

But if there is a little, just a little problem... I wonder if the law is a bit too harsh.?

"So what crime were these guys brought here for??"

"Um... that youth shock trooper? These friends are called, and they seem to have been harassing the residents a lot. This guy is looting──"

"Yaktaaaal? What is a soldier? Yaktaaaal?"

Jaehyuk wondered if he should say this as Lord Tarhan's eyes rolled back, but what should he do since it was all that guy's karma?.

"And there were dozens of reports of forced harassment... Well, it was a routine occurrence in that unit.──"

"Petos. One guy is going up now.."

Lord Tarhan pulls out his sword. The flaming sword represented his anger..

[I don't need a soul like this! Do you think I am a garbage incinerator??!]

Fethos, who rejected the souls of sinners offered to him, asked the knights to do well in the evangelistic mission..

"Argh! Crazy tin can catches the people!"

"Save people's lives!"

"Oh my, Lord Tarhan. Instead of burning healthy people to death, let’s at least use them as labor. I heard there aren't enough people in Pyongyang, serf type? Starting from 3 years depending on the crime?"

"Jaehyuk, you are also very colored.······."

People's soldiers captured in this way were either released and became civilians depending on their crime, or were sentenced to serfdom after thorough interrogation..

"Our serf friends eat a lot of salted radish. We are similar too."

How economical is it that you can feed a person for over 10 years with a special meal made by mixing salt and sugar in water?.

The ROK military inspector, who received a miraculous ledger that showed that the weekly food cost of 3,000 serfs was about 1 million won, obtained in just a week, took a quick look at the bloodied serfs in the camp and rolled his pen..

Weekly food expenses: 1,000,000 (KRW)).

-Crumbling!

Weekly food expenses: 1,000,000 00 (KRW))

"No problem. Best wishes in the future, Lord Tarhan.."

"Thank you, Major, for your hard work.."

It's already been a week since the war ended and the military base near Pyongyang was dismantled..

Prisoners at the Mansinjeon POW camp are guaranteed very humane treatment and a comfortable life in the camp..

"······,"

"······."

After reading the report that was processed in silence, the military leadership secretly closed the document..

"As we don't know."

"It is treated as if the data was lost during the battle.."

"Ugh, the North Korean artillery shell happened to hit the data storage room.."

It was one of the few useful things during the war..

* * * *

Pantheon is accelerating the transformation of Pyongyang into a sanctuary for the World Tree with the support of the Korean government and public opinion, but the work has not proceeded smoothly..

"Additional manpower support is needed for the new Pyongyang City resident procedures.!"

"Koo Dae-seong is doing his best, but the problem is food delivery.!"

Although the Pantheon has greatly increased its power, most of its focus is on its military power..

1Although the 10,000 men-at-arms and knights handling the Holy Law were doing great work in supporting the public, they still lack the manpower to command and control the large city of Pyongyang and its vicinity..

However, if we open our hands elsewhere, the military is so busy that it is difficult to help..

Originally, the pantheon was the best entity that could cover this deluge of administrative work..

Iron and Blacksmith's Grail Knight Yacht Spinner.

A strong artificial intelligence of the future world and an absolute powerhouse in electronic administrative work..

A task that would take an ordinary human hundreds of years could be completed in less than 10 seconds in Yappy's hands..

0.5 seconds to review. Depending on the business case, it takes 2.5 seconds to review and simulate over thousands of directions and create a subplan in 2.5 seconds. The remaining 7 seconds are used to repeat the same operation twice more..

Yappy, who had such overwhelming ability to handle tasks, was currently absent. The reason is simple.

During the battle with Rakshar, Yapi suffered fatal damage to the once-broken power source that moves the fuselage..

In the first place, the damaged nuclear reactor was a yappy that was moved by an unscientific force called divinity..

Not only did the function stop as the divinity was blocked, but the damage accumulated because Leon's armor was polished through excessive use of the divinity..

It's been a week since the war ended.

"Kikluk······."

Yapi stood up, nodding his head as his vision slowly opened..

An unnatural feeling of fatigue, as if the power had not been supplied for a long time. It was an unusually slow movement for Yappy, who is a machine..

"Check the surrounding terrain. Information falsification."

Yapi knew that this was an unfamiliar place. The former president’s bedroom, the most luxurious in Pyongyang. If you were an ordinary yappy, you would have figured it out right away by comparing it with the data obtained by the spy robot, but information retrieval is strangely slow..

Above all, a feeling of déjà vu, as if thinking itself had slowed down. It was when Yapi was embarrassed by her own unfamiliar sensations..

"Ugh! You're awake!"

Yapi, the girl with red pigtails, remembered that the name of the organism was Han Hari.'.

"Organic matter entity name: Hanhari."

"Ah, your tone is still stiff. Even though it's a 'temporary body', it doesn't change since you've become cute for a long time.?"

What are you talking about, this lowly organic matter?.

Yapi was trying to think of 108 ways to harass Han Ha-ri as usual, but he tilted his head as the search processor still wasn't working..

"Kikluk?"

And I feel something strange. The usual voice processor and voice recognition function is clearly foreign..

"Come on~ I came here to wash you, but since you woke up after a long time, let’s wash it yourself.?"

Sigh, Hari supports Yapi..

"Don't touch it, organic...?"

It's not the usual eye level. Yapi was dragged along by Hari due to a driving style that did not require proper force and did not know exactly how to do, and was soon able to stand in front of the mirror in the bathroom..

"······."

A cold, round fuselage reinforced with star iron. 360-degree omni-directional, high-performance camera eye that can see distances of hundreds of kilometers at a glance. Eight legs and mechanical arms for high-speed maneuvering in urban warfare.

"Kikluk?"

does not exist. I can't see it.

The mirror that was clearly reflecting his image was not the crystallization of his sophisticated future technology.──

"how is it? Isn’t it cute??"

Gray hair skimming the floor as if it had never been cut in its entire life, and the eight high-performance camera eyes that provided a 360-degree viewing angle have transformed into a clear, transparent silver color..

The inefficient clothing that Yapi had always ridiculed as an organic, low-level cold protection measure was trying hard to hide his bulging chest, and the cold, refined skin of steel was replaced by a delicate, soft skin..

I could tell this even if the search engine wasn't running..

"I was tired?"

"Uh-huh, bad words.!"
