## Chapter 1173 – A Tumultuous Foreign Adventure

“These sons of bitches! We were trying to resolve this with words, but they’re being difficult to the very end!”

ㅡPakaaaaang!!

There was no need to even use a sword. Just swinging my arm sent the guards flying, decorating the sky.

“Uwaaaaaaack!!”
“Aaaaaack!!”

The soldiers were all just regular people, and I turned them into shining stars. For them, today would be the most special day of their lives. In many ways.

“Oeoeeoeoeoeok!!”

Of course, there were knights with mana here and there, but as always, even thousands of those guys wouldn’t be a match for me.

They couldn’t even withstand the wind pressure from my arm and were all blown away, completely wrecked.

Damn it, do I really need to wear a super intimidating hat from now on? These kids just can’t come to their senses until they get their asses beat.

“Kyaaaaaaaack!! Someone save me!!!!”
“Mommy!!! Mommy!!! Mommmaaaaaaaack!!!”
“Uwaaaaaaaack!!!”
“Save me! Anyone, please…! Save me!”

Screams echoed from in front of the gate.

I trampled over them as I advanced.

The guards who were still outside my attack range screamed and ran away, and the long line of carriages waiting in front of the gate also cried out for their mothers and fathers, scattering in all directions.

Thus, all that remained were the wrecked soldiers.

And the captain of the guard, who was vomiting blood in front of me.

“Muoeeoeoeoeok!!!”

ㅡGush!

He was quite skilled, but he still couldn’t compare to even one of my pinky toes. He wore armor and protected his body with mana, but it was all useless.

He rolled on the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood… Damn it! Seeing this bastard’s face makes me furious! There’s a limit to how much you can look down on someone!

If the guy guarding the most important gate is like this, the country’s level is obvious!

I immediately grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

“Ugh… Ugh!”
“If a guy like you is the captain of the guard, damn it! The country’s gonna be ruined, you son of a bitch! What’s the kingdom’s name? Kravella? From today on, I’m a Kravella patriot and a person of national merit!”

Crushing corrupt officials like this is good for the country! So, from today on, I’m a great man, no different from a person of national merit in the Kravella Kingdom! I’ve established the realization of justice that no one else could achieve, right here and now!!!

I deserve benefits like a pension!!!

“Overthrowing a son of a bitch like you deserves an award!!!”
“St… Stop! I, I was wro…!”
“Shut up!!!”

ㅡKwang!
ㅡKwang!

I slammed him into the ground and stomped on his limbs, completely wrecking him.

“Kyaaaaaaaack!!”
“You son of a bitch!!! There’s a limit to how much you can mess with people!!! What kind of captain of the guard are you! You’re a fucking retard captain!!!”

Muscles ruptured easily, and bones were crushed.

“You know this could cause diplomatic problems! Do you know that!!! Because of your foolish actions, this could escalate into an international issue!!!”
“Kkeueueueuk!!”

What’s the point of saying anything?

If he had the intelligence to understand that, he wouldn’t have messed with me in the first place. And so, I oversaw the process of wrecking the captain of the guard for quite some time.

At some point.

The surroundings had become quiet.

“Geeaeck…”

I looked down.

The captain of the guard, his limbs completely crushed, was in a state that could only be described as `utterly and completely wrecked.`

“It’s all because these bastards don’t know they’re going to get their asses beat. If I go crazy, you get your ass beat. There are too many guys who lack this basic common sense.”

Is it because swords and death are too close?

People in this world usually don’t understand until they get their asses beat.

And if they have a decent level of combat power, they also have a terrible personality. Because the situation is like that, these unnecessary conflicts are bound to happen every time I meet someone like that.

“Agh, damn it.”

Still, after doing a good deed, I could feel a kind of refreshing feeling washing away my mind.

Yeah.

Well.

I only do good deeds wherever I go.
Of course, I have to wreck bastards like this.

Even if I think about it, the Kravella Kingdom should give me an award for this. I prevented that bastard from causing even bigger problems in the future.

Once I get the chance to meet the royalty of this country, I’ll demand a reward.

Because of my actions today, the shitty captain of the guard will be replaced by a righteous person. That’s a huge benefit from a national perspective.

“I’m really just living my life doing good deeds wherever I go.”

But somehow, only shitty things happen to me.

Something is definitely wrong here.

Thinking that, I looked over there.

“…”

The marquis, who was the second starting point of this conflict, was standing there blankly, looking at me. He seemed like he was going to join the guards and attack me at first, but as soon as he saw the captain of the guard getting beaten and flying away, he froze as if he had pressed the pause button.

He must have realized the difference in skill.

Yeah, damn it.
That bastard has a lot of problems too.

“You.”
“Yes? Yes?”
“Train your coachmen better from now on. It all happened because that uneducated son of a bitch was acting up.”
“Ah… Yes. I will do that.”

The marquis, now polite, bowed to me.

“An apology?”
“I, I’m sorry. I was… I was angry because I thought I was being treated unfairly… But after thinking about it again, it was all Theodore and the captain of the guard’s fault. I’m sorry for being so irritable without knowing that.”

See?

This son of a bitch only apologizes for his mistakes after I show him my power. I’m the kind of person who apologizes right away if I’ve done something wrong. But most people aren’t like that.

“Hehehe, that’s right, Marquis. Don’t try to assert your authority over people you’re meeting for the first time just because you’re a marquis. No matter what happens, let’s listen to the story first and then make a judgment. Otherwise, you’ll really die a tragic death. No one would have known it would turn out like this, right? Uh. If someone speaks nicely to you, you should speak nicely too.”
“Of course. That’s right.”
“You remember that I saved your life, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’m your savior from today, right?”
“Yes…? Yes. That’s right.”
“If I’m your savior, then I’m similar to the person who created your life.”
“That, that’s right?”
“Then I’m your mom from today, you son of a bitch.”
“Wh, what! Wh, what?!”
“Give me everything you have, you son of aaaaaaa bitch!!!!!!!!!!!”

ㅡPaaat!

I lunged at the marquis.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!”
“Give everything you have to your mom!!!”
“Uwaaack! Aaaaaaack!!!”

I adjusted my strength appropriately and struck the marquis with my palm, and he screamed and took a defensive stance. Of course, there was no way he could block it. In an instant, the marquis’s arms and legs were broken, and I immediately had him strip off his clothes and collect his wallet and valuables.

“Now get lost!!! I’m not raising a bastard like you!!!”
“Gueeeeeck…!”

The marquis writhed like a caterpillar, making bizarre screams.

“Wow, seriously, how does this kind of international problem happen everywhere I go?”

By then, the women who had been watching from behind approached. Karin said with a truly admiring face.

“It seems like the Dark Knight wrecks everything wherever he goes.”
“There are too many bastards in this world who need to be wrecked.”
“That’s true.”

Winia nodded, and Karin expressed doubt.

“But this kind of thing didn’t happen much in our kingdom. How do these kinds of guys come out as soon as we cross the border?”
“Sis. Look closely. At the scenery here.”
“Hmm?”

I told Karin to look at the wrecked gate. Just by looking at it, it was eerie and full of blood.

“Look. The energy here isn’t good, right? So, the people’s personalities are also terrible.”
“Saying that after you’re the one who made it like this.”
“No, it’s not like I made it like this… It’s all because of those people’s wicked hearts.”

Even I think that’s a pretty cool thing to say. As I gave that philosophical answer, Karin made a face that said she didn’t understand and started rummaging through the pockets of the scattered people.

That’s my sister.

“Originally, there’s such a thing as national power, right? Since this is a small country, maybe some uncivilized customs remain. To suddenly pick a fight like this… Ah, I’ll go search the marquis’s carriage. Hilde. Ari. Come here.”
“Yes!”
“Yes.”

Liztina naturally dragged Hilde and Ari to the marquis’s carriage. Looking at her, that sister has a habit of looting in her bones. She’s really thrifty. In fact, if you defeat someone, you should take everything they have. That’s the concept.

“Anyway, Kat! That was a really absurd accusation! These guys are all bastards!”
“You’re absolutely right.”

It was really absurd.

Originally, nobles have strong pride and think they can do anything. They’re even full of confidence and have a dirty temper that makes them hate foreigners doing anything in their kingdom.

But that doesn’t mean they should mess with innocent people.

Besides, I’m a man who’s no different from a hero of humanity. To mess with me like this… There’s no choice but to wreck them all.

“Ke… Kek… Keroreuk…”

The captain of the guard was making sounds like some kind of Keroro and spitting out blood foam. Still, he’s a warrior who handles mana, so his body is very strong.

“What the hell is this crazy Keroro?”

I stripped off all the clothes of the wrecked captain of the guard.

“This is compensation for making me use violence.”

And I legally obtained his accessories and wallet.

“But are you going to kill him and leave?”
“No. Even if I’m a paladin, I can’t just commit murder.”
“It looks like it would be better to die.”
“Whatever happens, he has to be alive so he can pay the relief fund.”
“Kyahreureu, I really love the word relief fund. Yeah. That’s a really great mindset, my husband!”

ㅡPangpang!

Karin patted my back, smiling with satisfaction.

Anyway, looking at it, there was a gate office building over there. It’s a perfect building to collect diplomatic relief funds. Just as I was about to move my steps in that direction.

“Where are you going?”
“To the gate office over there. I’m going to voluntarily collect some relief funds.”
“Hehehe, you’re really thrifty. Your amazing resourcefulness is always surprising.”
“Let’s buy something delicious with that money.”
“I understand.”

Then shall we go now?

“Kat. Let’s go together.”
“Come to my side quickly.”

I immediately entered the gate office with Claudia. The iron door was locked, but I just gently caressed it with my hand, and it was completely smashed. I went inside and asked where the vault was, throwing the resisting guards out the window.

“3rd floor! It’s on the 3rd floor!”
“Thank you.”
“Uwaaaaaaaack!!”

People don’t die from falling from the 2nd floor.

As the soldier said, there was a vault on the 3rd floor. Since this is a gate, they probably store the collected customs duties and stuff like that. There will definitely be a lot of cash.

ㅡThump.

I grabbed the large vault with one hand and slung it over my shoulder.

“Hehehe, you bastards. You should throw away the mindset that you can solve everything with money.”

I’m being lenient with this, but if it were a normal person, they would have made even bigger demands.

“Hehehe, Kat. You’re really warrior-like.”
“Right?”
“That side of Kat. It makes me feel really good every time I see it.”

Claudia stuck close to me and touched my body, giggling.

“To try to get all those just rewards. That’s the perfect attitude.”
“Originally, I should take more than this. But these guys are also people. They can make mistakes. So, I’m being lenient with this.”
“You’re really generous. Kat’s heart and generosity are probably wider than the sky.”
“Hehahahahahaha! You’re talking about something that can’t even be compared!”

My generosity can be said to be beyond space and time.

So, we took the vault and came outside.

The situation had already been completely resolved.

My women had each procured relief funds on their own, and all that remained at the scene were the excellent relief fund payers. They were all stripped naked and had spat out all their wallets and valuables. They were even lying down with their limbs spread out, as if they were so happy to have paid the funds. And they were so happy that their noses were bleeding.

As expected, doing good deeds makes you happy.

“Kat-nim. You really seem to be an expert at making money! To raise relief funds like this!”
“Money is something you can easily earn if you live righteously like me.”
“The word righteousness really seems to be omnipotent!”
“Hehehe, right?”
“Long live diplomatic relief fund payment!”
“Long live Paladin Kim Kat!!! Long live fund collection!!!”

Anyway.

I’ve done my work, so shall we try to enter the country now?

“Father? What are you going to do with the captain of the guard?”
“Captain of the guard? Should I hang him up like a flag?”
“Dark Knight. That doesn’t seem like a good idea.”
“But I have to drag him along.”
