Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 82
Only Noblemtl
Episode 82
People gathered at the entrance and looked at each other.
Their eyes are fixed on Se-hyeok, Cha Ye-seong, and the young woman standing in front of them.
However, the woman named Jihye, who had been pretending to know Cha Ye-seong, paid no attention to him at all.
“Do you remember when we were in high school?”
A woman who pretends to be friendly and natural.
Cha Ye-seong couldn’t hide her discomfort.
Rather, when the topic of high school came up, his expression became even worse.
Looking at that sight, Sehyuk felt.
‘Aren’t you going to give me water?’
An attitude of approaching someone as if you are friendly even though you are uncomfortable.
I have a sneaking suspicion that he might be trying to take advantage of me because I look strong.
“stop.”
Eventually, Sehyuk got between the two.
“Go to your location first. I’m the leader here, so talk to me later.”
The eyes of a woman named Jihye turn to Sehyuk.
You can see it clearly.
A look of disgust crossed his face.
“Excuse me. I’m sorry. It’s hard to trust anyone these days.”
But the girl quickly hid her expression and smiled brightly.
Sehyuk felt a bad feeling from that sight.
“What are you going to do if those people hack you?”
“Those people, you can tell just by looking at them that they’re here to threaten us.”
Jihye’s colleagues look at her with warm eyes, but at the same time, they feel faint hostility towards Sehyuk and his group.
‘You did a good job at politics.’
Most of her colleagues are elderly people.
It seems that he has captivated the elders with his cheerful attitude.
It seems like something we need to pay attention to.
In addition, the actions of that woman named Jihye came across to Sehyuk in a bad way.
The straightforward actions of a woman named Jihye brought about a stir among those around her.
“Why don’t you pick the fight first?”
“Actually, he might just be nothing special.”
Did the polite response seem a little too easy?
The survivors who had arrived later than Sehyuk and his group and were hesitating began to question them.
“Oh, if you’re not going in, get out of the way!”
First, there’s a man shivering as if he’s been forced into a group.
“Yeah! Why are you blocking the road?”
After that, people come in droves.
Sehyuk was a little annoyed by the sight, but decided to endure it for once.
Sharpening the knife inside.
‘If you cross the line, I’ll kill you right away.’
The reason why you can’t kill is simple.
The reason Sehyuk came here.
That’s because they want to exclude the looters and increase their power by attracting as many people as possible.
If we commit massacre here, how will Sehyuk view those people?
He would most likely appear as a crazy, murderous dictator.
Among those people, there will certainly be useful ones who take a neutral stance.
I don’t want to antagonize those people.
However, it seems necessary to hold it down so that it cannot climb up.
That’s why Sehyuk took a hard-line stance.
“If I don’t get out of the way, what can you guys do?”
The atmosphere freezes.
“I’m not trying to say anything. Are you sure you can really do something to me? Are you sure?”
Sehyuk glares at the crowd of people.
No one says anything.
“So I suggest it.”
Did you feel an uneasy atmosphere?
At a good time, his subordinates gathered around Sehyuk.
Sehyuk’s men are heavily armed with simple iron armor and weapons, carefully crafted by Bokseul Bokseul and Choi Sunghyun.
Its appearance was no different from that of a powerful medieval army.
Other people are slightly intimidated by the authority of their subordinates.
“Join me. If you join me, I will save as many of you as possible.”
Sehyuk took advantage of the momentum and spoke forcefully.
“Is there anyone who suddenly develops symptoms of lung disease and chills? We have a solution for that symptom.”
“Look carefully. Is there anyone in our group who is making noises?”
People who can’t say anything and just glance at each other again.
Since it’s someone you’ve just met, it’s probably hard to trust them.
Of course, there were people who were worried.
People who came relatively late.
People who take care of elderly people who are sick and infirm.
In the midst of all this, a man wearing glasses bravely stepped forward.
He appears to be the leader of the group that came after Sehyuk and his group.
“What happens if you don’t join?”
“I don’t know what kind of monsters might be up ahead, but I have no choice but to get rid of those who can’t cooperate first.”
A man with glasses puts his hand on his chin and takes a thoughtful pose.
“How about cooperation instead of joining?”
“There are two reasons why I can’t listen to that.”
Sehyuk raised his finger.
“One. Whether we are cooperating or not, it is essential to organize control. They say that too many captains spoil the broth.”
“And two. I have no reason to cooperate with you.”
The expressions on people’s faces are getting more and more stiff.
But Sehyuk didn’t care.
These people needed to get some reality check.
About how powerful Sehyuk is.
I am not a being that is struggling with a single monster like those people.
“The reason I’m making this suggestion now is simple. Let’s feed and raise these worthless guys, protect them, and make them useful people.”
Sreung!
Sehyuk’s dimension adjuster flashed.
“If you want to be the best, you need more strong people, right?”
A shining longsword that is evident at first glance as containing great power.
At the sight of the sword, someone in the crowd gasps.
Sehyuk grabbed his sword and glared at the crowd.
“But cooperation? What are you going to do by raising guys who aren’t your people?”
“Okay. Thanks for the answer.”
Still, the man in glasses seemed like a pretty smart guy.
“You really seem like a strong person.”
The man wearing glasses gives me an admiring look.
“It is truly a great blessing that someone like that has the patience to explain things to us.”
Because they had an accurate understanding of their situation and Sehyuk’s power.
Eventually, the man with glasses was convinced and returned to his group.
“How can I believe that you didn’t just kill all those squeaky bastards and leave them behind?”
Meanwhile, the second group of people came out, looking angry.
Surprisingly, the number of people Sehyuk had brought was comparable to that of the people he had just brought.
Their leader is a man in his late 20s who is somewhat large and seems to have good self-management.
He has a tall and muscular appearance, and looks like he used social media a lot when he was younger.
The people surrounding the man scream.
“That’s right! This is just an attempt to intimidate! Isn’t that right, Youngbin?”
A face that looks like they have high expectations for their leader.
In the meantime, a man named Yeong-bin simply smiles lightly and encourages people.
“Okay, okay. Calm down. Hey, you with the sword. Let’s be nice to each other, and let’s be fair. What are you doing, blocking the road?”
Upright and fair.
Sehyuk was shocked by those words.
Collapse of the government.
In a situation where it is impossible to prove right or wrong, those who argue for fairness fall into one of two categories.
Either you are a person crazy about justice, or you are the person who cares the least about justice.
Which side is that person on?
“If it were you, would you let your competition be by your side? Who knows, someone might stab you in the back of the head?”
Sehyuk glared at the man and the second group of people to arrive.
“If you have any complaints, let’s have a go. Are you confident?”
At those words, the man folded his arms and changed the subject.
“Well, okay. Let’s say we don’t fight. We can join, but shouldn’t we elect a leader democratically? It sounds like you’re going to take charge.”
“There are more people here?”
“Other than that. It’s the principle of separation of powers. Your subordinates are the strongest, so other people should be leaders.”
After saying that, the man turned to the others with a kind smile.
“Isn’t that so?”
At those words, the others also nodded in agreement.
The insides are transparent and can be seen clearly.
It’s politics.
Sehyuk made a face of shock at that noise.
‘Democracy. Good. But how long has it been since the social system that could sustain it collapsed?’
Perhaps that person also knows that his remarks are rubbish.
‘I guess they’re just trying to gather the strength of everyone else except our group.’
It is an action that pushes forward illogicality with political appeal.
A man of fairly good appearance named Yeong-bin spread his arms wide toward the crowd as if giving a speech.
“Don’t be fooled by appearances!”
Yeong-bin points to Se-hyeok and his group.
“That group is so strong. Yes, you would want to join. But think about it.”
“If you go under them, you will lose your power and be treated like a slave! Now is the time to unite and drive them out!”
People are abuzz.
Yeong-bin lifts his chin as if savoring the gaze.
And Yeong-bin linked arms with Se-hyeok.
“Is there any way to prove that you won’t treat me like a slave?”
“How do you prove that?”
“look!”
The man didn’t answer Sehyuk’s words and looked back at the other people.
“See how you can’t answer? Aren’t you still blocking our way?”
While continuing to create anxiety.
‘Then how should we deal with it?’
That worry was quickly put to rest.
Before Sehyuk could come forward, his subordinates gathered around him.
“There. Haven’t you ever thought about it? With so many people in his command, there must be something there?”
“We all owe our lives to this man! He is not someone you can criticize!”
Subordinates who scold others.
They surrounded Sehyuk as if they were supporting him firmly.
More than 20 people came forward to help Sehyuk.
With eyes full of trust.
The popularity built up until now.
An effort to protect as many good and kind people as possible.
That’s what’s shining now.
The man grits his teeth slightly at the sight.
“Really? Certainly, they didn’t bother us at all.”
Public opinion has turned a little.
You can tell at a glance.
The difference between the two groups.
The numbers are similar, but there is a clear qualitative difference.
Well-tailored clothes.
Somewhat dressed up steel equipment.
On the other side, only a few people are armed, and their clothes are stained with blood and sweat and torn in places.
The people around him were once again shaken by that sight.
A group of Sehyuks with a powerful force that anyone can see.
Because he seems like a good leader.
At least it looks like it has the capacity to feed a lot of people.
“There are quite a few of them here! Rather, didn’t you get some good stuff early on and come here quickly?”
A man named Yeong-bin grits his teeth at the commotion.
“Don’t fall for that sugarcoating! We must join forces now to fight for our rights!”
“For something like that, aren’t you the only one who says things you can’t keep?”
The one who took Sehyuk’s side was the bespectacled man who had asked Sehyuk the question earlier.
“Ha. Even though I have nothing, I have brought many people back to life. I am not content with just my power.”
The citizens were divided into two factions.
The atmosphere has become cold, people are glaring at each other and not backing down.
In the meantime, people on the man’s side start talking.
“Youngbin. You’ve been doing a great job of defeating terrible monsters so far. There’s no need to kneel.”
“Okay. Fight once and show me your skills.”
Yeong-bin with a troubled expression.
But in the end, he made a decision to smile leisurely.
“Okay. Hey, you blocking the road. Let’s have a go. But take off all your protective gear.”
Yeong-bin shows off his skills.
“Surely you’re not insecure without those powerful items?”
He also doesn’t forget to say things that go against Sehyuk’s feelings.
At those curious words, the crowd of men goes wild.
“Yes! This is how Yeongbin should be!”
“Press my nose flat!”
In the end, Sehyuk had no choice but to make a decision.
It wasn’t Sehyuk’s style, but he had to be able to elicit a certain amount of emotional turmoil in order to survive.
And one way to gain people’s support is to bring down your opponents.
And Sehyuk has the ability to overwhelm his opponents.
If Sehyuk was a person who didn’t care much about others, he would have used his strength a long time ago.
‘Tsk. It was this guy who wanted to go well. I didn’t want to embarrass you.’
It’s all his fault.
