That expression struck Og like a thunderbolt. He just stood there, his expression gradually becoming blank and bewildered.
"Your Highness, pirates are powerless to resist, although we thank you for protecting us..."
Seeing that Og's expression was off, the old man tried to comfort him, "But those pirates are only here to plunder. Even if I'm unlucky and my children are killed, I can't fight back. Otherwise, they'll kill even more people next time they come. Just bear with it. Once you arrive, the pirates will leave."
"Yes, how can pirates resist? We don't have that power, unlike Your Highness Og..."
"Yes, Your Highness, we can't fight back against the pirates, they are too terrifying."
"That's right, we've rebelled once and then again. We've been unable to fight back against pirates for over a hundred years."
"Your Highness, please hurry and defend against the pirates. Let them go."
People nearby were talking about it.
No resistance...
I never resisted.
is that so?
That's how it is...
Og looked at the citizens, whose expressions were filled with incomprehension and numbness.
They are gentle, kind, and know how to help and comfort others.
I will do my best to help others if I know that someone has suffered a tragedy.
Knowing that a family had been killed by pirates, he took the initiative to carry out the funeral.
But there was nothing...
Anger and resistance.
That day, the sun was obscured by dark clouds, and a torrential rain began to fall.
Just like this country, it shouldn't have sunny days in the first place.
This country...
He died a long time ago.
...
“Barber, one person’s strength is limited.”
That day, Og, covered in blood, spoke coldly to Barber, whose face was filled with astonishment.
At his feet were his father, sister, and brother.
"I once naively believed that as long as I was strong enough, I could protect this country and save it. But I was wrong. I can kill pirates and criminals, but I can't kill the apathy of the people."
"You say I'm a genius, a once-in-a-century talent in the Kingdom of Krein, but even I, a genius, am not immune to normal methods. To save this country, to save its people, one person's strength is not enough..."
"You can't kill all the pirates. I will grow old and die. It's unrealistic to place your hopes on the next person like me."
"I want to incite resistance in this country!"
"For this, I need hatred. They dare not rebel against pirates, they dare not rebel against the royal family, so I will force them to rebel!"
"All the sins are on me, making the people fear and hate me, until they can no longer bear it and rebel against me!"
"If they rebel against the royal family, they will rebel against the pirates!"
"It is neither I nor you who should save this country. Only when the country itself awakens to the truth will this country be saved!"
...
"kill!!!"
Seeing the surging crowd rushing towards the steps, Krein Og showed fear and shouted, "Don't come any closer! I am the king of this country!!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, pointing his five fingers toward the citizens.
His gaze fell on Sag, who was charging at the front, and he roared, "Do you really have the courage to overthrow me?!"
"Yes, we will never be bullied again, whether by pirates or kings!!!"
Sag shouted at him, thrusting the silver spear he held straight at him.
Ogre's gaze fixed on the silver spear hurtling toward his neck, then drifted away to the excited citizens.
His eyes seemed to want to memorize these people forever.
Finally, their gaze fell upon the navy man with a knife at the back of the crowd.
You ask me why?
Of course, it's because...
Krein Og's cold, gloomy face broke into a smile, just like it had been years ago, a smile as bright as the sun.
I love this country deeply.
It was saved.
Pfft!
