Chapter 192 – 192. Nocturne of Madness Begins With Prince Canin’s Inspection Procession (4)

– One –

Dagrak, dagrak, dagrak, dagrak.

The mule pulls the cart moving forward with a powerful sound.

It wasn’t very fast, but as a means of escaping with the relatively weak Canin, it was the best choice at the moment.

Canin sat upright in the luggage compartment and showed off her presence.

Sitting in the coachman’s seat was the badly wounded Task Agent 1, no, Bailey, pulling a trolley.

“Your Highness, I will go a little faster.”

“Huh.”

“Then.”

Whiririt, chaak!
Kyeeeee

A mule tied to a cart is whipped and nervous.

But it doesn’t stop.

It is because they are intelligent enough to know that if they stop, the whip will fly again.

Beat, beat, beat, beat.

Two task force members were running together at the same speed as Canin’s cart.

The remaining surviving agents and crew were escorting them, divided into three groups of three from a distance.

They,

Push!
Push shot!

I shoot the crossbow I had,

Aaaaang!
Kwaaaaagh!

He was killing the residents of the city approaching every alley.

In order to prevent the aftershock from reaching Canin, three groups of three formed a double line of defense at a distance from the two right next to Canin.

“Chit.”

“What a madman,”

The two crew members around the cart tried to grumble in a low voice,

“Hey!”

“…”

I’m startled by Bailey’s screams.

Concerned about what Canin would hear.

“It’s okay. Even I’m more dumbfounded than afraid…”

Canin smiles faintly at her drawn-out face.

He murmurs bitterly.

“Does it make sense that they self-destruct by detonating a bomb in their stomach at will, and if they die before self-destructing, the corpse explodes immediately? Do they have no fear of harming their comrades? Is it just a consumable item?”

The crew lower their heads.

They were speechless, feeling sorry for Canin, who was exposed to this hideous malevolence at such a young age.

It was then.

“There! Grab it!”

“Waaaaa!”

Hearing the explosion, the locals crowded toward them.

“Ministers! It’s this way!”

An old woman’s small voice broke through the noise of the cart.

“Here! It’s safe here!”

In front of her, she hurriedly waves her hand, trying to lead them down a dark alley to her left.

“It looks suspicious no matter who sees it, right?”

Food.

When Canin tries to pretend to be relaxed, the crew around her and Bailey involuntarily laugh.

“You have to kill it to get attention, so let’s just ignore it and move on.”

“Yes.”

Dalgrak, Dalgrak, Dalgrak, Dalgrak!

Instead of heading into the alley, they bypassed it and increased their speed.

Burrrr

The old woman rolls her eyes and trembles.

“Kiyaaaaa!”

She let out a wild roar.

Tat tat tat!

She runs toward the cart.

“Self-destruct!”

“Also…!”

She never lets them go too far.

“There is no one above a man, and no one below a man!”

Her voice, shouting slogans, gradually turns into a strangely suppressed sound.

Woo woo woo woo!

Her body swells up.

The eyes of both her crew and her agents around Canin are focused on her and around her.

The moment she becomes convinced that the human bomb that runs alongside her does not exist,

“Shoot!”

Push!

A single bolt pierced her forehead.

“Turn off, turn off…”

As she stumbles,

Aaaaa!

It explodes spewing pieces of meat and blood in all directions.

There was only one hollow pit left.

Paralock!

Bailey quickly lifts her blanket over her head to keep the mess from spilling on Canin.

Took.
Degur.

Her wrinkled hands land on the trolley.

As if the pain right before her death was not small, her hand, which had fallen from her body, clenched her fist so desperately.

Canin sees the thick, rough old woman’s fingernails, deeply cracked and embedded in her wrinkled palms.

“…”

Canin stared at it,

Swoop, Swoop.

As if treating a poor thing, she caresses it carefully.

Swoop, tock.

And she set it carefully out of her wagon.

It’s unclear what Canin was thinking during that short time.

But it was clear that he was very sad.

Whirik!
Chaak!

Climb up, run up, run up, run up!

As her ass is whipped, her mule’s paw cloud becomes more urgent.

“Your Highness, please don’t worry. It’s clear that they are the rebel’s helpers.”

“Is that so…? Are all those people really rebels? Or, is that what we want to believe?”

“…”

Close up, close up, close up!

“Are they all voluntarily wishing for my death? Or, after the real rebels have turned innocent people into tools, are they truly driving those caught up in ignorance to such a brutal death?”

“Majesty…”

“Does the supposed magic or brainwashing they have been given simply makes them forget their fears? Or does it deprive them of their free will and turn them into living tools for carrying bombs?”

“…”

“Ah…”

I look up at the sky with wet eyes on top of the canin’s running cart.

Even in the midst of such a terrible tragedy, I resent the clear sky.

“If they are against me and the imperial family based on their own free will, it must be because of the sins committed by me, the imperial family, and the empire.”

“If they don’t do it of their own free will…”

“Isn’t that also our sin?”

“Why are you like that?”

“Because I couldn’t protect my, our, subjects of the empire…”

“Um…”

The biggest reason for Canin’s sadness was the overwhelming guilt.

Eventually, a single tear fell from Canin’s eye.

The trembling eyelids come down helplessly, covering his golden eyes.

However, the tears he shed did not leave even a trace on the path of the cart.

It was terribly useless, and it was helpless.

– 2 –

Push!
Boom, Kwak Kwak!
Woo woo woo!
Smack!
Shoot aaaaa!
Boom!

Blood is bursting out from all sides.

It was a scene no different from a wave made up of people crashing on a seashore rock, bursting with blood instead of spray.

“Keeeeeg

“Quaaaaa!”

The residents had become mad before they knew it.

They are not without intelligence.

Everyone had an intuition of their own death and was running towards the predestined end.

That is why they cast out the fear welling up in their hearts by going mad.

“Revolutionary Creed Bokchaaaaang!”

“Our resolution!”

Push!
Aaaaang!

The mother and father who cried out for revolution explode.

Since the children whose parents exploded also exploded along with their parents, there will be no mass production of new orphans in this city.

Families that exploded even exploded close neighbors.

“One!”

“Our Revolutionary Army is neither up nor down!”

“No man above man!”

“There are no people under people!”

However, there were still many people who would continue to sing the revolutionary creed, and none of them worried that the sound of shouting the banner of revolution would be cut off in the middle.

Push!
Kwaaaaa!

It soon becomes useless for some people.

For the revolutionary army whose existence itself was caught in the explosion and disappeared, if it were not for the revolution in the arms of the goddess, the banner of revolution and its spirit would be meaningless.

“Two!”

“We follow the teachings of the saintess and become republican soldiers who pursue a world where everyone is free and equal!”

Push!
Kwaaaaang!

“I solemnly swear in front of the names of the saintess and the goddess!”

The blood couldn’t stop raining, creating a red mist.

Blood boiled from the heat of the explosion, small drops of blood that jumped out of the torn flesh, and streams of blood that poured out.

Everything dyes the world red.

Iron puck.
Iron pudduck.
Rumble.

The flesh and bone fragments also firmly supported it, contributing to the establishment of the red world on the ground.

“Three!”

“We do not obey absurd orders,”

Push!
Aaaaagh!

“Pursue justice based on subjective and autonomous judgment!”

“Opportunity, process and outcome,”

Push!

“Equality and, yup!”

Kwaaaaagh!

“Department of Justice, Kwaaaaa!”

“It will be defended with justice.

A big battle unfolds.

“Four!”

Everyone who survived gathered their mouths and shouted at the same time.

“We stand firm in camaraderie, defending honor and trust!”

Push shot, push shot!

Two bolts fly.

“Ouch!”

“Heuk!”

They pierce the foreheads of those standing in the middle of the two largest groups.

Aaaaa!

“Quaaaaagh!”

“Aaaaa!”

“Aww! We never abandon our comrades!”

“Until the end, keuheuk!”

“Comrades and ah!”

“Together with you!”

The recitation of their revolutionary creed had turned into a mess before they knew it.

However, their voices are much quieter than at first.

The loudness of the sound, and the mouth from which it bursts.

The only inhabitants who survived in this area were those who maintained their shape.

In other words, all but a few exploded.

“You cruel bastards! We are people too!”

“No matter what, is it okay to slaughter so many people!”

Sigh!

The crew and agents who survived their wave of attacks are indignant.

It is because the sophistry they spit out was disgusting beyond words.

“This person is!”

“Stop.”

Canin stops the agent who was trying to argue.

If you use the nobility of Canin as an excuse to challenge them, you may end up agreeing with their logic.

Whether they are real rebels or fake rebels, there is no need to spend more time here due to the verification and debate of ideas.

In order to carry out their real plan, they must get out of here as soon as possible and head to the destination they have chosen as an intermediate base.

“Remember, no matter what your worth is, if you tried to take the life of another, your life could be taken by another too. With that in your heart, return to the arms of the Goddess.”

“Damn it…”

Push shot, push shot, push shot!

After Canin’s sentence, the bolts fired by the agents and crew cut through the air.

Quack, Quack!

A rain of red flowers fell.

It was a beautiful color suitable for May when spring was in full bloom.

– 3 –

Close up, close up, close up!

A pony runs through the alley.

The freight wagon, tied to a pony, was covered with a tarp that could at least keep out blood and bits of flesh pouring from the sky.

Through the gap at the back of the carriage, the shadow of a person wearing a white robe was glimpsed.

Pale gold shimmered through the cracks at the hem of the pure white robe.

“There!”

“Catch it!”

“Wowaaaaagh!”

Shouts are heard from all directions.

Maybe it’s a bad bug.

“Ehehe!”

Whirly Rick!
Hotch!
Hee hee!

A crew member sitting in the coachman’s seat rudely uses a whip.

Like a prepaid boar, a whipped pony rushes forward in a fit.

“I catch it!”

At the end of the alley stood a man with his arms outstretched.

“Aww!”

The pony turns sharply to the left.

Kagagak, kagagakak!
Rattle!

Although the wagon leaned heavily, it fortunately did not overturn thanks to its low center of gravity.

“The target is encircled!”

“The bolt must have fallen!”

“Move to one place,”

Push!

“Kreak…”

Aaaaa!

“Gaaaaa!”

Another group of villagers became minced meat.

The road was pierced

Close up, close up, close up, close up!

Gradually increasing speed, the wagon leisurely leaves the place.

No one above the other!
There are no people under people!
In front of the names of the saint and the goddess!
I solemnly swear!

Could it be because the sound coming from far away was quite frightening?

The crew member sitting in the driver’s seat was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat.

He bit his lip so hard that blood flowed down both sides of his mouth.

“Found!”

A sound comes from the right side.

“It’s here!”

A sound comes from the left.

“I can’t run away anymore!”

A sound comes from the front.

“The only place for you guys to go is in the arms of the goddess!”

A sound comes from behind.

Close up multiple.

The carriage stops.

The rebels were blocking them from all sides.

Everyone in the wagon quickly looks around.

Every street corner is filled with rebels one after another.

All around them was full of death.

Just then,

Aaaaa

An asrai explosion echoed in the distance.

“Huh.”

Hearing that sound, the crewman on the driver’s seat smiled.

“Where should we go?”

“If you’re a man, break through the front.”

“Doesn’t that look like the most?”

“I see. If they hadn’t swallowed the bomb, I wouldn’t have dared to break through them with this number.”

Hehe. That’s right.”

They exchange glances with each other.

“Your Highness, please hold on to the handle inside!”

He nods.

His blue eyes were full of determination.

“Ehhhhh!”

Whirling!
Hotch!
Hee hee!

The horse runs.

Climb up, run up, run up, run up.

The frightened pony looks straight ahead and runs away.

The explosions heard from all sides, the bolts passing by their ears, were constantly terrifying the ponies.

It would be like a panic now.

It began to run more blindly in order to shake off its fear.

Choosing the front was, therefore, a very reasonable choice.

“Shoot!”

Push, push, push, push, push!

Dozens of bolts spread widely and flew towards the front.

Fufufufufufu!

“Keep it off!”

“Oh, no!”

“Explode!”

Kwak Kwa Kwang!
Kwaaaaa!

It was as if the explosions that erupted in a chain were condensed into one lump at some point.

What followed was a huge explosion that seemed like the end of the world.

Aaaaa!
