Barbaros.
.
During the attack by the Pus Hounds, the Death Guard, which had just been established, saved most of the villagers.
The leader, the strongest and tallest of them, gave a speech in the threshing floor of their village.
Herrera looked at him with tears on her face.
"We have been oppressed for so long that we have forgotten all the dignity we should have."
"Let us unite and fight against all this injustice, all this brutality, and all this filthiness!"
"Join us, pick up the sickles in your hands, and swing them against all this injustice!"
“Resist!!!”
He said so.
Resistance.
Resist!!!
Herilla left without hesitation, carrying her sister and the Death Guards. They left their past behind.
She wants to become strong, she wants to resist, she wants to protect her family, she wants to protect the people on Barbaros!
She wants to become a being who can hold a sickle and protect others—
—It’s like Hades.
Herrera felt her face getting hot and she felt a little shy at the thought.
I am just a weak woman, while that tall and strong man is indeed a real warrior.
There was no way that he could catch up with such a dazzling existence.
Herila patted her face. No, even if she couldn't catch up, she would still try her best. She was tired of her weak self. The feeling of weakness was like a poisonous wine that was deeply engraved in her heart, corroding her internal organs.
She wants to be like Hades, a being who can protect others and bring hope to others!
You can do it, Herrera, come on!
Herrera followed most of the village survivors and came to their new home along with the Death Guard who returned to their base.
She and her sister registered their identities and received a small house and food for two.
When asked which division of the Death Guard he wished to join, Herrera chose the Combat Division without hesitation.
Uncle Hard, who was registering opposite, looked at her in confusion. Generally, women with shorter stature like Herrera would choose the logistics department or the medical department.
"You are too thin, Nizi. Listen to me and go to the medical department. The training in the combat department is too intense. You can't stand it."
However, the child opposite still looked at him seriously.
"I can become stronger."
Uncle Hard sighed, and resigned himself to writing "combat unit" in the wish column on Herrera's booklet.
Then Herrera became a trainee Death Guard.
The training of the Death Guard is cruel and difficult. They first undergo three months of special physical training, and then begin the selection to join the team.
Only those who survive the selection can successfully enter the Death Guard.
She followed the main force to climb a captured mountain without wearing any protective gear, and the poisonous gas tore her lungs apart.
The people around him fell down one by one. They were exhausted. Under the erosion of the poisonous gas, they shrank and hesitated. They let go of their hands that were clinging to the cliff and fell down, falling into the abyss.
Herrera's whole body was shaking, and her arms were twitching uncontrollably due to excessive fatigue, but she still held on to the rock wall tightly with her hands.
She wants to become stronger and protect others.
Finally, Herrera was the third person to successfully reach the top.
Mortarion, who was waiting for the latest batch of Death Guard at the top of the mountain, personally awarded her a weapon. Based on the previous special training observations, she was awarded a well-made musket. From now on, she was a Death Guard.
She vowed to defend the people here to the death, and she vowed to fight to the end.
She swore.
Later, she participated in battles large and small, and Herrera's agility and accurate marksmanship won her her own dignity and applause.
In a battle to encircle and suppress wild swamp rock leopards, it was Herrera who shot and killed the leading rock leopard with one shot; in an attack on the lord, Herrera still held on to the territory after his team was wiped out, and saved the territory by killing thirty-six puppets alone.
She is the Death Guard, and she will protect the people of this land.
Then, under the guise of inquiring about the war situation, Herrera was still secretly collecting information about Hades.
She learned that the tall warrior was actually only two years older than her.
She learned that Hades was one of the original three members of the Death Guard.
She learned that Hades was not very popular, and even though he was very powerful, he was always excluded by others.
Why? Such an outstanding person, why doesn’t everyone appreciate him
In the next combat team assignment, with his own little thoughts in mind, Herilla deliberately arrived a little late, and was indeed assigned to Hades, the last team that no one wanted to approach.
Hades silently carried his sickle and squatted in an inconspicuous corner of the battlefield waiting for her.
She walked over. Was she nervous? Herrera felt herself becoming a little weak.
No, I can’t embarrass myself in front of my idol and make him feel weak.
Herrera pulled himself together, picked up his gun and joined the battle.
When she knocked the brain out of the last puppet, Hades, who had begun to rest with his scythe, whistled.
"Well done, girl, you have good marksmanship."
"I remember you, the one who went to attract the hounds yourself, right?"
"I thought you were a good candidate at the time, and now it seems that I was very good at judgment."
What's going on?! Herrera felt her face turn red all of a sudden. Thanks to the gas mask, Herrera didn't let Hades notice that something was wrong with her.
She had always, she had always imagined Hades to be a silent and warm person.
I didn't expect that the other party would be so enthusiastic!!!
Ugh! My idol halo seems to be shattered a little bit!!
But no matter what, after that, every time Herrera applied for a team, he would choose to be in the same group with Hades.
As if aware of Herrera's thoughts, Hades often pulled Herrera aside to chat.
When each battle was about to end and there were no monsters around, Hades would take his sickle and show some tricks to Herrera. The sickle, which was extremely heavy for an ordinary person to hold, seemed to come alive in Hades' hands, dancing with great force and flashing blade light.
He also taught Herrera some shooting skills. Strangely, although Hades was unable to use a musket, he had his own experience in using it.
In addition to these, Hades also told Herrera some other tips, such as how to plow the fields with less effort, how to use rice water to water flowers, and how to calculate multiplication rules.
Unlike the annoying existence described by others, Herrera thinks Hades is a rather magical existence.
In order to repay Hades and out of her own little thoughts, Herrera often puts a lot of thought into cooking for Hades.
Compared to his sister who always ate sickly, Hades always ate very quickly and happily.
Herrera's sense of taste had been destroyed by contact with poison gas a long time ago, and she had not been able to enjoy delicious food for a long time.
So she hoped that Hades could continue with her joy of eating.
Except for the fact that Herrera occasionally felt dizzy due to frequent fighting, her life was becoming happier and more joyful.
Herrera became strong enough to protect the weak, and she became friends with Hades.
And the Death Guard, under the leadership of Lord Mortarion, continued to grow and become stronger, with their lords being beheaded one after another.
The future will be even better.
As long as we work hard, as long as we resist, the future will become better.
Even if it means sacrifice, I will protect all of this.
Herrera firmly believed this.
Except for the protagonist Hades, the descriptions of other characters are quite serious.
In addition to the protagonist, who has a cheerful and relaxed personality, he occasionally makes harmless jokes about this dark world.
The Barbarus story won't be very long. I know everyone likes to watch canned food (I like it too), so I won't be too long-winded and will let the protagonist become a canned food as soon as possible.
