My Lucky Encounter From the Game Turned Into Reality - Chapter 155
The chance in the game becomes reality Episode 155
38. New Era (1)
Most countries in Rondel have adopted the caste system, but there is one thing that can be said to be unexpected.
That is, they consider slavery and human trafficking to be very base and are completely cutting it off.
‘It is inappropriate to treat the same people as livestock even if their status is different.’
‘Also, if you ask someone to work, you must pay them a fair price.’
This was Rondel’s noblesse oblige.
However, there are a few countries that ignore this, a representative example being the Croesian Empire.
“You stupid slaves! You don’t want to eat today!? “Why don’t you use your strength properly!?”
-Okay! Wow!
“Ahh! “I’m sorry.”
Slavery still exists in the Croesian Empire.
The imperial family denies slavery externally, but if you visit the empire even once, it is not difficult to see slaves here and there on the streets.
You could even see slaves being whipped in public places, and the sight of a skinny, poorly clothed slave being whipped was so cruel that it could only be described as madness.
Truly treated like an animal.
Slaves of the Croesian Empire were considered expendable goods.
The international community estimates that there are more than 50 million slaves in the Croesian Empire alone.
“Hey kids, look. “Go somewhere else to get the beating.”
“Who cares? “I’m going to beat my slave.”
Numerous countries in Rondel are condemning the Croesian Empire’s slavery system and demanding its abolition, but to no avail.
This is because the imperial family was denying that these people were only criminals assigned to labor and that they were not slaves, and they had the power to disguise that denial as the truth.
No matter how much you ask for improvement, you will only end up being ignored or threatened.
[The army of the Kingdom of Reinharts is expected to arrive at the Duchy of Xexis, a corner of the capital, within two days. The Reinharts Kingdom army is divided into three armies…]
“Ah, what on earth is the imperial army doing? Don’t we have to evacuate?”
“Why are you taking refuge? “Are you really scared of those mosquitoes?”
“How can I not be scared? “They are right in front of us.”
“haha! Look at the great army of our empire gathered on the plains of Zexis! “Up until now, we were so embarrassed by the surprise attack that we were unable to connect, but if we succeed, there is no way our empire will lose.”
Slaves of the Croesian Empire spend hellish days every day.
There was one hope for them recently.
‘I hope this country collapses.’
That is, the momentum of the Kingdom of Reinharts, which invaded the Croisen Empire, is scary.
The Kingdom of Reinharts is the country that most strongly criticizes the Croesian Empire’s slavery system.
If such a country succeeded in overthrowing the Croesen Empire, it was clear that their status would also be absolved.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Reinharts was one of the few countries where it was possible to become a self-made man without restrictions on status or gender, so I had no choice but to support the Kingdom of Reinharts.
To the slaves, the Croesian Empire was an object of despair and anger, while the Kingdom of Reinharts was an object of hope and expectation.
“The Reinharts Kingdom army will arrive here in the Duchy of Xexis soon. So cheer up.”
A construction company in the Duchy of Xexis, Croisen Empire.
‘Slave No. 5’, who was working as a laborer there, whispered this while supporting a colleague who was staggering after being beaten.
The slave, who looked like he was about to die at any moment, had poison in his eyes and struggled to get up.
Slave No. 5 was like a leader among the 35 slaves at the construction company.
He played the role of inspiring hope to his colleagues, and was one of the few people with a proactive mindset among slaves who lived each day in despair.
“Let’s cheer up a little.”
Slave No. 5 was recently planning one thing.
If war broke out in the Duchy of Zexis, they would revolt, kill their masters, and flee toward Reinharts.
It would be great if the war ended with the Reinharts Kingdom’s victory, but the decision was made with that situation in mind, as there was a possibility of defeat.
If they succeed in escaping and safely enter the Kingdom of Reinharts, they will be able to live a new life even if they lose the war.
It was a way of thinking that could not be considered as a person who was born on a human ranch and lived his entire life as a slave without a name.
In this way, Slave No. 5 had the will to move forward without being complacent.
“Do you like it. Slave No. 5.”
“…!!”
Does heaven value those who want to shape their own destiny?
Heavenly fortune fell upon him.
Slave No. 5, who had been around for some time, came across an unfamiliar person who was sitting on a chair in the air and looking at him.
“Who are you?”
Just 10 meters away, a supervisor was watching the construction slaves working, but no one paid attention to him or the person next to him.
‘Wizard?’
He swallowed dryly as he looked at the handsome young man with silver hair and blue eyes, thinking that only a wizard could do something like this.
Construction workers’ clothes are all gray.
This is because it is a color that is less noticeable even when dirty and dirty.
However, the silver-haired, blue-eyed man in front of me not only had gorgeous hair and eye colors, but his clothes were also at the peak of splendor.
Looking at him wearing a white coat embroidered with gold thread and lots of metal jewelry, it was easy to tell that he was a nobleman.
‘For what purpose is such a person talking to me?’
A young man who exudes a sacred aura even though he is a man.
Slave No. 5 thought that it would not be good to be tangled up with a man full of doubts, so he made as stupid an expression as possible.
“I am Duke Adrian El Lawrence, Commander-in-Chief of the Reinharts Kingdom Army.”
“yes?”
However, with the subsequent self-introduction, Slave No. 5’s mask was quickly broken.
Duke Lawrence of the Kingdom of Reinharts was so famous that even he was a slave from a foreign country.
Isn’t he the one who is pushing the Croesen Empire?
Slave No. 5 laughed involuntarily at the absurdity.
“You can stop believing, you can stop believing. But if you want to live a new life, you had better believe.”
“….”
“There is something I would like the slaves here to do before the invasion of the Duchy of Xexis.”
Slave No. 5’s eyes shake violently.
‘Is this a joke? The atmosphere was too much to say it was a joke…’
We could only exchange a few words.
But did you feel majesty in the conversation?
For some reason, I felt like the other person might be real.
“How would you like to hear it?”
Although he was still suspicious, Slave No. 5 was nodding for some reason.
* * *
“Will the slaves really help?”
In response to Deputy Commander Taylor’s question, I nodded as I was looking at the situation in the Duchy of Xexis displayed as a hologram.
The holographic image was divided into two: one was a regular image zoomed up to 10,000 times, and the other was a deployment map of the enemy army expressed in 3D coordinates.
Looking at the Croesen Empire army densely positioned on the plains of Zexis, it was not difficult to infer that the battle would be completely different from the one they had fought so far with numerical superiority.
So, I had to use my brain to have the slightest advantage in the fight, and I came up with the idea of causing trouble inside the Duchy of Xexis to divert attention.
“It won’t be easy with just a few slaves. However, there are over 300,000 slaves in the Duchy of Xexis alone. Surprisingly, they are even placed in important facilities.”
The operation I had in mind was not that complicated.
This is because, as soon as the battle began, simultaneous terrorism was unleashed through slaves.
And if a rumor spreads that our kingdom’s army has invaded the duchy of Zexis, the Croisen Empire army will inevitably be embarrassed.
If you attack those who are wary of the Trojan Horse from all directions at once, you will very easily gain a strategic advantage.
“But many slaves will die.”
“Fighting for our lives is the same for us. “If they want to change their destiny, they too must fight.”
Deputy Commander Taylor, a philanthropist, gently averted his gaze at my firm response.
“In this battle, we must reduce the enemy’s strength as much as possible so that the defense and defense of the capital will become easier.”
The war does not end with this one battle.
In the first place, it is even more impossible to completely defeat the large army in front of you.
However, it was clear that it was a key point in deciding whether the war would be won or lost.
If we win this battle, there will at least be no possibility of our kingdom’s army suffering an upset defeat.
Even if the worst happens, a peace agreement can be drawn up, and the Kingdom of Reinharts will lay the foundation for becoming an empire.
“What a strange man. He doesn’t look like the second-in-command of an army that is on a winning streak. “Would you say it’s somehow demoralizing?”
at that time.
‘Bug’, who was sitting quietly in a corner of the commander’s room, approached with a master-level autonomous vanguard that he received as a reward for clearing the 8th level Giyeon quest.
The guy, who had thrown off the maid uniform he had been wearing and put on the uniform of a high-ranking officer of the Duchy of Lawrence, looked at Deputy Commander Taylor with an expression of disapproval.
Although I didn’t know what kind of person she was, I could easily tell that the beings accompanying her as escorts were unusual.
Because of this, Deputy Commander Taylor was embarrassed and took a step back, and I hit Berg on the back of the head, who was growling as if threatening him.
“This has no ups or downs.”
“Ahh! “When did I ever question something like that!”
That’s right.
Considering the position of Taylor, the second-in-command and heir of the Marquis of Aragon, the king’s maternal family, he scolded Berg, but everyone in the commander’s office responded that they agreed with Berg’s remarks.
I think that people with similar tendencies are necessary in living in the world, but at least it seemed unnecessary on the battlefield.
I approached the second-in-command, patted his shoulder and said,
“If we suffer greatly from slaves, wouldn’t that be the karma of the Croesian Empire?”
Deputy Commander Taylor nodded at what I said and looked at Berg.
Berg, who is not afraid to make cider remarks, is surprisingly popular.
In addition, he had a strange talent for making people pay attention, so I thought it would be okay to give him a spot.
I said, looking at the time.
“There are two hours left until the operation begins. “Everyone, please keep your wits about you.”
The entire staff, including Deputy Commander Taylor, responded loudly by saluting me.
“yes!”

-Magic Century July 1, 2020.
During the confrontation along the plains of the Duchy of Xexis, the strength of the Croisen Empire Army and the Reinharts Kingdom Army was literally like a dragon and a tiger.
It was an equal level where it was difficult to say that anyone had the upper hand.
-Cruissen Empire Army: 395 Sky Fortresses, 26,000 Vanguards.
-Reinharts Kingdom Army: 402 Sky Fortress Units and 24,500 Vanguard Units The
distance between the two armies is 10 km, but as the magic curtains formed by the Sky Fortress units of both armies collide with each other, abnormal phenomena such as sparks or lightning strikes occur in the middle area. did.
The largest large-scale war in the history of the Reinharts Kingdom.
The battle that decided the direction of the war began with Adrian’s command.
[All armies advance.]
As the entire army of the Kingdom of Reinharts began to advance, a strong tremor resounded as if an earthquake had occurred, not only in the plains of the Duchy of Zexis where the two armies were facing off, but also in nearby cities.
And this was no different from a signal announcing the beginning of liberation for the slaves.
