4 [Skyrius 02] Someone in The Name of Justice

In the city of Erteri, the soldiers of the Vandal Empire who have just taken control of the Capital of the Kingdom of Armenia are now preoccupied with new problems. They searched the corners of the city with a building that had been largely charred and destroyed by a major battle two days ago, which the search for imperial soldiers sought was a man who destroyed the main gate of the city, none other than William Robert.

"Look for that monster! If he goes berserk again we can all finish!" shouted one of the warriors while running along with the other colleagues.

"Find him! Find him!" one of the other soldiers shouted.

They searched in a number of small groups, and started along the half-destroyed streets and alleys, there were traces of flames and almost collapsed. Dozens, even hundreds of people are looking for men who a few tens of minutes ago destroyed the main gate of the city and knocked down several buildings.

In one of the aisles located between two small roadside buildings, Robert curled up beside a wooden barrel with a very flat facial expression to hear the pull of the people who were looking for him. The alley was quite shady because of the second roof of the building, but it had a stinging smell. The walls of the alley look black like the traces of fire and ash from wood that becomes charcoal still fly around the place.

Actually Robert wanted to find a better place to hide, but given what he had done at the entrance gate, he was completely unable to move freely in the city of Erteri because he had become a fugitive from the imperial soldiers and ended up in the rotten smelly alley. Whether that could be called bad luck or talent to invite trouble, on the first day of his new life, he immediately caught on to a regional problem that was quite serious.

"It's bad ... really bad! Even though it hasn't been reincarnated in this world for a day, but right away, it's a fugitive right away ?!"

Robert continued to look around with palpitations, cold sweat pouring and shortness of breath because the stench began to make him miserable. While still curled up and saw the sky blinking on the two roofs of the building in the alley, the man tried to think of various ways to get out of his situation now.

"Hah ... Is it better to jump back and just run away from the city? But ... from the words of the soldiers at the gate, it looks like this country is in a war, there's no guarantee that the city is safer," murmured Robert complained.

He looked down, then turned his mind to something else. Robert recalled the black aura that had come out when he gathered energy to beat the road surface and knock it down to an underground irrigation channel. Robert extended his hands forward and watched him, now his entire body did not emit a black aura but strangely his skin turned slightly paler.

"Pale? Is this the effect? ​​Huh, actually ... What was the black aura coming out of my body ...? A kind of inner energy like a martial arts comic?"

Robert stood up and closed his nose. With a flat expression and couldn't stand the foul smell, he stepped and was about to get out of the alley to find a more suitable hiding place.

"Who is there ?! Get out !!" one of the soldiers shouted suddenly. Hearing that, the man immediately hid again behind a wooden barrel and curled up. Sweat flows and the breath really reaches its limit.

"Bad ..., found out?"

Hearing the footsteps that were approaching, Robert remained silent with his facial expression resigned to the situation. When the soldier peered into one of the wooden barrels next to Robert, the soldier only saw the corpse of a woman who had been burned in there without being aware of Robert's presence.

The soldier kicked the wooden barrel. "Tch! Dead body!" After complaining to himself, he turned and walked away from the alley.

Aware that the soldier was unaware of his existence, Robert quickly got up and sneaked behind the soldier wearing a magnificent iron pilgrimage. When he was right behind him, Robert landed a hard punch on his forehead, but of course with restraint.

Bug!

The soldier's protective helmet was slightly crooked and he slammed to the side against the wall of the alley. After looking out the alley to make sure no one was watching, Robert dragged the soldier's body into the alley to hide it. He awoke the soldier's body to a wooden barrel, then watched him. A fancy armor with intricate carvings on the chest and a protective helmet, a red color that is more striking when compared to other warriors, seeing all that Robert realized that the person who fainted in front of him was not an ordinary soldier.

"Oh, maybe this method works ..."

Robert removed all the metal armor and protective helmets worn by the soldier until they left only shorts and a undershirt. After that, Robert himself wore it and disguised it. It took a long time to wear the armor that looked quite luxurious because the helmet part was already slightly dented, but in the end Robert forcefully tidied it and used it forcefully. Now the man was wearing a dark red armor filled with unique carvings of Empire-style shoes, and at the head was covered with an iron helmet that had a sidelines to see.

"Hem, I doubt this will work. Yes, I hope there's no problem."

With a little hesitation, Robert stepped out of the alley. When he was on a road made of charred bricks, Robert looked around the place a little worried. Around it were seen several buildings which had been mostly burned and some had collapsed. The corpse lay on the road and the rubble of the building, some died from sharp weapons and some were burned. In one of the open windows of the building, a corpse was crossed above it with a crushed face due to the explosion.

Seeing all that, Robert put on an apathetic face. He let out a light sigh and said, "Indeed this is really a former great battle. Huh, so remembered that. In any world such a battle is natural?" For the man, the dead are dead, there is nothing to be concerned about. There is no point in feeling annoyed or disgusted because it is no longer useful.

He again observed the former war. It reminded him a little of his previous world, so cruel and ugly that the dust and ash that came in could contaminate the mind and make it crazy. When he pondered for a moment, suddenly there was a voice inviting him to speak.

"You ...! What are you doing here?"

Robert turned around, looking at the person who called him. For a moment he paused to see the figure of the silver-haired girl standing before him. He looked so beautiful and dignified, his magnificent short dress layered with silver armor that he wore indicated that the girl was not just an ordinary soldier even though the one she was wearing was still casual. However, moments later Robert realized that now was not the time to be amazed. The girl is one of the Commander of the Four Directions, Alice Schneewittchen.

"II ... looking for someone who according to the information made that noise ... Did you look for it too?"

Behind the protective helmet worn by the panic expression Robert began to appear. The anxiety of disguising is getting stronger and makes him make one step back.

"You ... even though you are a son of a noble who has contributed greatly to the empire, I as a commander will not give you relief if you break orders. Remember that. As one of the imperial's important people, you should not act arbitrarily."

The commander girl glared at Robert, the girl's faded gray eyes seemed to bring her a mystical feeling. For a moment the man felt a little relieved because only by wearing the armor he stole from one of the soldiers, he immediately had the opportunity to mingle with them quickly.

"Sorry ..." Robert lowered his head.

Seeing what he was doing, the girl was a little confused because the person behind the armor was supposed to be an important noble who was arrogant and troublesome in the scope of the Empire.

"No ... I'm sorry too. I'm too rude to you. I shouldn't say something like that to nobles like you."

The commander girl changed her language style while talking after considering a number of things. For whatever reason, the sharp eyes on the silver-haired girl began to feel soft.

"Nobility? Hem ... I see ... so the person wearing this armor was actually that important," thought Robert.

Robert smiled slightly behind an iron helmet. The man realized that his current position could be used to get out of his unfavorable situation and seek information he needed about the new world of his residence. The silver-haired girl suddenly knelt before Robert with his right foot tapping the road as well as facing the boss. Respect and loyalty began to feel very clear from him.

"I, Alice Schneewittchen, have been too big a head over this. Even though you are a noble under the rule of the emperor, but I doubt you. Sorry for my impoliteness."

"Eh ...? Why is this? The owner of this armor is indeed a very high rank, huh?" thought Robert with a little panic.

"U-Uhm, it's okay."

"Thank you very much, I thank your kindness with pride in the Honor of His Majesty the Emperor ... Then we should go to the town hall immediately, maybe they have started," Alice said with a very calm facial expression. The girl got up again and stood tall gracefully and with high dignity, even exceeding the person who was stripped of Robert and stolen by his armor.

"To the city hall? What is it for?" Robert asked.

"Hem ... of course to punish the sinner before taking him to be executed in the empire. Didn't you come to bring the sinful princess?" Alice asked.

"Y-Yeah ... that's right. Let's go to the town hall." Robert turned and walked, he had no idea what Alice meant.

"The direction isn't there," Alice said.

Hearing this, Robert felt surprised and panicked. He turned back and took the other direction. Seeing the strange behavior, Alice began to be a little suspicious of Robert. The silver-haired girl began to look towards the man who walked in front of her with a dark gaze. Feeling the unfriendly gaze, Robert looked back.

"Oh, yeah ... by the way, can you tell the chronology of the attack on this city? From the report it seems you also played a lot in success this time," Robert asked on the basis of limited information and imagination ability to imagine the situation.

"Chronology? Isn't the strategy used?" asked Alice.

"Hem ... if it's a strategy, even if you tell me a tactic, I definitely won't understand. Therefore, I ask only chronology to convey to the emperor. Report data."

"Well ... we all go to the town hall ... I don't think it's a problem."

Receiving that answer, from behind his iron helmet Robert smiled darkly. It has been a long time since he fooled people like that, maybe since the last time he fooled a contractor partner on a road construction project.

"Khah, perfect acting ..."

«« »»

Erteri City Hall, the place looked devastated, only a few buildings were still standing around the place. At a number of corners, there seems to be a former splendor like a fountain and a large pond that has now been destroyed. The smell of corpses and blood still feels new, very stinging and poison the brain. Arriving at the place, Robert saw the soldiers who were crowded in front of a wooden platform that was made sober and looked dilapidated. They were all people of the Vandal Empire, some were wearing armor and some were not.

The soldiers who gathered to form the crowd were screaming wildly, they asked to immediately carry out the punishment for the sinners being talked about, simultaneously and loudly as if echoing to the corners of the town hall. Even when they were so absorbed in the crazy crowd, maybe they forgot the threat report about the person who had destroyed the main gate a while ago.

"Start the sentence !!"

"The bitch's law !!"

They shouted in insanity and drunk with victory. Behind the line of screaming soldiers, Robert and Alice stood with their faces very disturbed.

"Basic uncivilized people," Alice said.

The silver-haired girl put on an annoyed face looking at the crowd. Unlike the soldiers, the commander girl doesn't like things like this. But because this is important for pumping the spirits of the soldiers, things like this cannot indeed be eliminated or prevented even though by him a commander. Hearing the silver-haired girl's words, Robert did not react because what Alice said was also felt by him.

"According to the story this girl said earlier ... and some information is available, maybe the current situation is quite serious, huh ... If the estimate is correct, this city is the capital of a country. And these soldiers are these soldiers - people the people who come to conquer ... no, more precisely they have conquered this country huh. Broadly speaking the war, if the capital has been taken over it means defeat. Except in some other cases it's different. What's more, Princess? What will punished is the Daughter of this country? So why should you be punished if you want to be taken and executed in the empire? " Robert looked slightly at Alice who was standing to his left.

"Hem ... what's wrong ...?" Alice asked.

"No, I'm a little surprised. Why should there be punishment even though we will execute it?" Robert asked.

Instantly Alice's face looked very dark hearing the question. He looked at Robert with dark eyes and the color of his cornea turned blood red.

"Why ...? Why did you say ...? Of course this is to uphold justice," Alice said with a very dark expression and voice. Seeing his expression, Robert decided not to ask further. The girl turned her face away and her eye cornea turned black again a little faded.

A few minutes later, three people climbed the wooden stage. At the same time, the soldiers who had waited for a long time immediately cheered. Three people who got on stage were two soldiers who were not wearing armor, and the other was a little girl who only wore a white cloth to cover her entire body. The little girl was none other than Princess Fiola, a girl who might physically be around 16 years old.

One of the soldiers kicked in front of Princess Fiola's small body until he fell on the wooden stage floor. With a small body sitting limply on the stage, Fiola turned towards the person who kicked him and looked as if he wanted to cry. Regardless of the princess's pleading gaze, one of the soldiers forcibly pulled the white cloth covering his body. Princess Fiola's tiny body was immediately exposed clearly in public.

"Hiiii! No ... don't look ...!"

The girl screamed as she tried to cover the part between her groin and the chest. When observed again, there was something strange about his body. Most of Princess Fiola's body is a body of mechanical organs whose outer parts are made of ceramic and wood. His hands look like a mechanical hand joint and both legs to thighs are not part of the human body, but a synthetic body part is almost the same as his hand.

Princess Fiola crouched down. His face turned red and cried because he was publicly humiliated. Ignoring all of that, one of the soldiers grabbed the small girl's hair and pulled it onto the floor of the stage. The girl's hands were held up, and another person forcefully spread her legs. Seeing that, the soldiers cheered and whistled. They don't look worthy to be called humans, even lower and equal to savage animals.

"Enforce justice !! Enforce justice !! Enforce justice !! Enforce justice !!"

The cheerful cheers of the soldiers. They began to get excited and increasingly out of control. Unlike them, Alice instead put on a look of annoyance at the behavior of the soldiers she led. In his heart he was embarrassed that all those people were his subordinates.

Seeing everything that happened on the stage, strange squeeze penetrated Robert. He had never felt that before, an impulse that made his body move before the mind determined action. Regardless of the surroundings, He concentrated on his legs and jumped five meters to the stage past the soldiers who were cheering madly.

Brak!

The wooden stage shook when he landed. Alice was surprised because someone could jump that high. Aside from the shock, he wondered what the noble had jumped on stage and fell silent.

The two soldiers holding Princess Fiola in confusion at the sight of the person who tense the important noble armor suddenly climbed onto the stage. One of the two people approached Robert and wanted to ask.

"What is ka ⸻"

Brakk!!

Before one of the soldiers finished his words, Robert hit his face until his body bounced a few meters out of the stage and hit the building. The soldier's blood dripped from Robert's hand.

"Damn it!" One of the other soldiers released Princess Fiola and tried to hit Robert, but it was easily stopped with one hand by the man.

Buk!

Robert hit the soldier's face with the back of his left hand until his body floated spinning out of the stage, then landed in a crowd of soldiers and his head hit the road until it broke.

After removing the two men, Robert took the white cloth lying down and gave it to Princess Fiola. When his body was covered with a white cloth given by Robert, Princess Fiola stared in confusion at the figure wearing the emperor's armor.

Seeing the face of the little girl, Robert understood why his body moved on its own when he saw it being humiliated by the savages. He is similar to his son named Fiala in his previous life. Apart from the color of hair, eyes, and mechanical limbs, he is really very similar.

Although most of the body is a mechanical mechanism and not a part of the human body, Robert feels that indeed the princess is really just a helpless little girl. A chaotic face, silvery white hair that is wrinkled and runny, and a body full of scratches, all of that makes Robert a little annoyed with the soldiers who have done such cruel things to that small girl.

"Why ... did you help me ...?" asked Princess Fiola, staring confused at Robert.

Robert stood up straight and turned from Fiola. When the man slightly turned towards the little girl behind him, Robert replied, "If there are people who need help, naturally we help, right?"

The answer saved Fiola mentally and alive. He was amazed to see Robert as a savior in all the meanings of his life. After being relieved to see his face, Robert looked back at the soldiers who were under the stage with a look of anger.

"Hah! What is a sinner? He's just a helpless little girl. What is the Justice of the Emperor ...? Everyone in this place is just rubbish! They don't deserve to be called warriors, they're just animals!"

Robert walked to the end of the wooden stage and stood there. As he raised his right hand up high, he clenched it tightly.

Bezz!

Instantly a gust of strong wind blew from the fist. The atmosphere in the place became silent. A black aura gathered in the darkness of the man.

The soldiers in that place were confused. They wondered why the nobleman had hit two soldiers until they were thrown off the stage, and instead protected Princess Fiola. The atmosphere became silent, but the silence disappeared immediately after someone shouted.

"What are you doing !! Get down! Don't disturb the enforcement of justice !!"

"Yeah, that's right! Down !!"

Hearing these shouts, Robert lowered his clenched right hand.

"Justice? Justice ?! Justice of your words ...?" A black aura came out between the armor that Robert was wearing.

Everyone who saw that terrible aura shuddered. It was an aura that brought cold and terrible air that seemed to penetrate every body of the person who saw it.

"If in this world savage treatment like this is justice ... will I destroy all that justice until there is nothing left !!"

The black aura that looked like a black mist was very swiftly coming out between the armor. As soon as everyone was frightened and confused, in terror they wondered why the person with the noble armor issued a terrible aura and denied the Vandal Empire's own justice.

"He is not an imperial noble !! He stole my armor !!" someone shouted at the end of the line, the person was only wearing a T-shirt and shorts. That person is the man whose armor Robert stole.

Hearing that, Alice immediately panicked and looked at the person in the noble armor who was standing on a wooden stage.

"Then who is up there?"

Robert quickly took off his iron helmet, he knew that hiding his identity was of no use. Several soldiers who knew his face were screaming.

"He-a monster who screwed up at the gate !!"

"Noisy you guys !!" Robert shouted.

The scream made the soldiers shiver in fear. But Alice was different, instead of feeling scared, the silver-haired girl instead made a dimensional magic circle and took a large sword from there. Without the slightest hesitation, the commander girl jumped towards the crowd of soldiers and used it as a platform to get to where Robert stood.

"Damn !! How dare you abuse the emperor's justice !!"

While still in the air, Alice swung a large sword towards Robert, but only with the outer wrist of his left hand, the man resisted the attack. Shock waves spread across the direction.

"What !? With bare hands ?!"

Before Alice's feet stepped onto the stage, she again brought out five magic circles in the air, right around Robert standing.

"Sada! Retsial! K'tiol !!" Alice shouted, and from inside her magic circle came out the chain with the tip of the peg straight towards Robert. But without doing anything, all the chains themselves were brushed aside by the black aura that Robert had consciously released this time.

Trang!

Chains floated into the air, irregular and disrupting their visibility. Alice immediately used the chain as a foothold in the air, then shot towards Robert. But before he could attack, Robert immediately threw the girl's face with an iron helmet.

Bug!

Alice's body bounced off the stage and fell into the middle of the crowd of soldiers. Shortly after falling, Alice immediately stood back and glared at Robert. His cornea turned red and a silvery, luminous aura covered his body.

"I will kill you!!"
