Chapter 88 – Episode 88- Punishment on Sinners

3 days after that.

“Bring the sinners over here.”

Following Advent’s instructions, soldiers led the criminals to the old square.

Originally, this place was crowded with people.
There was a large fountain, and in the middle of the fountain stood a stone statue of a god roaring.
The appearance of water spouting from its roaring mouth was so magnificent that it was said that it was spitting out anger toward the sky.

Unfortunately, the fountain that was so magnificent has long since been demolished.
〈 The Queens 〉 collapsed under the crossfire.
All of the collapsed rubble was removed by the Steel Corps, and bricks were immediately laid to make it a sidewalk.

There was a throne on the sidewalk.
A black-haired man in a black military uniform was sitting on the throne.
The man, whose eyes were also black, realized that all the sinners who needed to be gathered had gathered in front of him.

Advent, the man who realized that he was ready, declared.

“The trial begins now!”

At that declaration, the surrounding soldiers clapped their hands in unison.
If anyone saw it, they would have thought that the show was finally starting.

But this is not a performance. It is a place prepared to punish sinners,

The women who became sinners were trembling in fear of what would become of them.

“Ah, lady…”
“It’s okay. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Of course, the group of criminals included former aide Teminer and 〈 Serpent 〉 Perpone.
When Teminer trembled at the future, Perpone offered words of comfort to reassure him, but

“Don’t overdo it, lady. You’re shaking more than me.”
“…”

At that point, Perpone shut his mouth.

As Teminaire pointed out, Perpone’s legs were shaking like crazy.
More than Teminaire, Perpone also wanted to run away from this spot.

I know very well what that evil emperor has done.
Seeing that innocent women are brought in and treated as criminals, this is not a normal trial.
It’s just a bastard’s play street. Perpone, who became the object of the game, was afraid of what Gangrim would do.

But there was nowhere to escape.

‘Everywhere is blocked.’

The Desire Empire’s forces are on all sides.
The majority were prisoners.
If you see any nonsense, you will surely meet a terrible end on the spot.

No, the proposition itself that one can do nonsense cannot be established.

Because the necks of sinners with not a single thread on them are shackled to restrain their strength.
Neither swordsmanship nor magic could be used. Just a helpless kitten, nothing more, nothing less.
Prisoners who had become incompetent had no choice but to be dragged with ropes tied to both hands.

The same was true of Perpone and Teminaire.
Even they couldn’t use simple magic because their necks were shackled.

Still, Perpone wanted to run away.

‘Can’t I just run away with Teminaire?’

In my mind, I wanted to do that.
If God gives you a chance and there’s a gap,
Perpone took his friend and wanted to escape.
He wanted to escape forever, out of reach of the devil before his eyes.
He wanted to throw away everything and run away.

To the extent that he wanted to do so, Advent became fear itself for Perpone.

‘But, that guy transformed into a monster…’

Suddenly, while watching Advent, Perpone had this question.

‘Why does he resemble the god we worshiped?’

It resembles the god worshiped by the Caritas Church.
It also resembles a fountain stone statue made in imitation of the god.
I didn’t know it at first, but when I met him in the office, he clearly resembled Shin.

Is it a mere coincidence? Otherwise…

Seeing this, Kang-rim thought to himself.

‘Even though I suffered like that, my momentum hasn’t died yet.’

Seeing Perpone glaring at her, Kang-lim raised the corner of her mouth.
Even though I dragged her pride down to the other side of her, I never thought she would still have her rebel period.
Still, that rebellion will soon come to an end.
Since she was selected as her own test subject, there was only one way left for her Perpone.

In reality, it was different from what Kang-rim thought.

“From now on, the sinner called by name should come forward. Sua, start.”
“Yes, I understand, Your Majesty.”

Sua called the first person on the list.

“Knight Commander Vera, come forward!”

At those words, a woman with red bobbed hair came out in front of Kang-rim.
I couldn’t take my eyes off Kang-lim, seeing her enlarged breasts bouncing by themselves every time I walked.

‘That woman was definitely one of the characters in the capital city. And…’

She is a poor woman who was killed by Grid.
In this world she came to support Ice Island and she was captured.

Of course, Kang-lim had no intention of beheading her.

“Um… There is only suspicion that this guy abetted the hunt, there is no confirmation.”

Kang-rim said that while examining the documents in her hand carefully.

“If it were true, more punishment would have been added, but it’s a pity.”

The 200 women currently on trial are key figures involved in the manhunt.
About 700 people including the Takari who were sold as slaves to the prisoners.
This is only the number of people caught so far, and there may be more.

Advent planned to punish the 200 people involved in the beastman hunt.

“Usually you should put it off, but it’s true that you got involved, so you have to punish it. Because that is the rule.”

Even before the invasion, Advent promised that she would punish all humans involved in hunting beasts.
The heads of each representative tribe did not object to the promise.

For those who had been tormented by humans for a long time, there was no reason to reject the idea of ​​punishing humans through trial.
Everyone wanted her to punish her cruelly, to the point that she considered death a mercy.

Of course, Advent intended to do so.

“Do you have any last words?”
“…You will be punished.”

There is nothing more to check. Now you have to sentence.
Before the sentencing, let’s show mercy by telling you at least one will.
With that thought in mind, Kang-rim asked, and Knight Commander Vera glared at Kang-rim with angry eyes.

“I’ve been defeated, but one day the one who will kill you will surely appear!”
“Okay, okay. Thanks for the nice answer. Then I’ll sentence you.”

Advent sentenced.

“Knight Commander Vera, give birth to 200 soldiers.”

Upon hearing this, the sinners were greatly agitated.

-2, 200 people? To give birth to those 200?

– No, that’s nonsense. I can’t even do that anyway…

– No way, us too?

Vera, the party involved, was the same.
From the outside, her expression did not appear to have changed, but her face was pale.

“Ah, don’t worry. I’ll take care of all the punished ones.”

Kang-rim said so.

“They are the mothers that will give birth to the defense of this island, but we can’t handle them carelessly.”

The purpose of this trial is twofold.

One is to relieve the grudges of the beasts who have been treated as prey by humans for a long time.
If you release that resentment, I will swear allegiance to myself even more.
I don’t know if it’s meaningful because it’s been a long time since I succumbed to being trained until my tears and runny nose came out.

Another is to use it as a seed tray.

‘She won’t just stare at the princess stupidly.’

An important gateway to the capital has been taken away by pirates.
The first princess wouldn’t just sit there and watch it.

As if those were not empty words, intelligence came in that the princess is currently gathering troops to recapture Ice Island.
It is even said that she is extending her hand to the princesses who were in a confrontation to call up troops.

She doesn’t know how much she will gather, but considering that there are still many people who are loyal to the royal family, it is assumed that a fairly large number will be gathered.

Then why don’t we keep the Steel Legion stationed here?
Unfortunately, that’s not possible.

Besides Ice Island, there are many islands to protect.
If they knew that power was concentrated here, and that the other islands were weakened, they would surely attack.

In fact, there was a stupid local lord who attacked the empire’s territory for the fact that power was concentrated on the ice island.
Even though he knew what happened to the lords who had pushed through the invasion so far, he was confident that he wasn’t like that.

Advent thoroughly trampled on that confidence.
He immediately led his troops to annihilate the invaders, and took the island ruled by the lord as well as all the residents of the territory as his own.
The stupid lord was beheaded as an example, and ended up being beheaded by a cliff on the seashore.

Because of those things, I couldn’t just keep worrying about Ice Island.
In some form, troops must be prepared to be stationed on the Isle of Ice.

For this, Kang-lim decided to use these prisoners.

‘About 200 would be enough.’

Let’s use these 200 people as seeds.
If each person gives birth to more than 100 children, at least 40,000 can be secured.
Large-scale facilities for breeding were also prepared.
It’s not urgent to rummage through the treasure house anyway.
So if you focus on making rice cakes, there won’t be any big problems.

Anyone who hears it will say that they are talking crazy, but Advent is possible.
You can give birth to 40,000 people if you play around the waist without interruption from anyone.
It has already been targeted at executives in Fox Island.
Can’t it be that the number is a little higher than that?

Let’s do it until we’re out of our minds.
Kang-rim gave instructions to his soldiers.

“Take the sinner to the bath. It must be boiled.”
“Now, wait, wait!”

Vera shouted, but Advent did not listen.
After receiving the order, the two soldiers grabbed Vera’s arms and headed for the building with the bathhouse.

“I told you not to hunt. I was forced to ignore it from above, so I had to acquiesce. I couldn’t help it!”

Despite howling, Gangrim had no intention of overturning the ruling.

‘Heh, does that clear all doubts?’

Whatever the reason, it is true that they were involved.
If so, just punish.
Even if you can’t keep your mouth shut due to pressure from above, that won’t be an indulgence.
I have to accept it thinking it’s a price I’ll have to pay someday, just making ugly excuses.
Advent, who thought he was a knight with his own convictions in the game, was inevitably disappointed.

“Okay, next person.”

Let’s finish it right away
Advent called the next prisoner.

●●●

“Now it’s just the two of you left.”

The sun was setting by now.
The judgment of the 200 sinners is almost over,

-Hauuuuu…

– Let me out. Please. I don’t want to give birth!

– Someone help me. God please!

Criminals who had been punished were confined in the baths.
It is a bath made by brewing thick herbs with the effect of continuously ovulating, so if you soak your body all day, you will be able to give birth to a lot of diseases in the future.

Of course, the criminals who did not want to be like that wanted to escape, but the soldiers prevented them from doing so.
I won’t be able to get out of the hell of a bath until at least tomorrow morning.

The last two remaining, Perpone and Teminaire, will also undergo a similar hell.

“Do you guys have anything to say?”
“Just kill them.”

At Advent’s question, Perpone snarled in a ferocious voice.

“Don’t humiliate me like this, just kill me! You’re going to kill me no matter what!”
“You’re misunderstanding me, Perpone.”

A really stupid guy. Kang-rim shook his head in disappointment.

“I don’t kill. If I was as cold-blooded as that bastard, I would be, but I am not.”

He is not a grid.

“I’ll save you and make you my slave.”

It’s off the grid, so he’ll take a different path from him.

“Even if the day I die comes, I will make them follow me for the rest of their lives.

There are so many women with good bodies, does it make sense to just kill them?
Rather, the bastard who treats human life like a fly is a madman.
If there are many women like this, he should put them all in her hands and make them his concubines. Does killing make sense?
Kang-rim had no desire to be like that madman.

Even Kang-rim, who was doing such a thing, went out of his mind.

“I’ve gotten my words out of the way. Anyway, I sentence you both.”

Advent sentenced.

“Your sins are ugly. You condoned the hunt, supported it, and even acted disrespectfully by glaring at me, the emperor, during the holy trial.”
“Wait, that’s…”
“Shut up, shut up.”

After chewing on Perpone’s rebuttal, Advent immediately sentenced.

“To put this together, I will punish you to give birth to 10,000 soldiers.”
“…Under?”

At those words, Perpone laughed for a moment.
Kang-rim spoke again.

“10,000 for each. Consider yourself lucky that it ended like this. We could have made a hundred thousand or a million more.”

Upon hearing those words, Perpone and Teminer looked devastated as if they had seen the end of the world.
