Its already so big! What is this CORN? Its bigger than a childs arm! We just need to wait for two more months? No one will starve! I heard people and animals can eat it . Even the roots! I was worried because we have so many refugees but with this… Its true! This was the blessed land! Everyone was amazed at the growth of the corn . Not too long ago, the Magnos had arrived . The Ainos and all the refugees came out to watch their arrival . Yet unlike what they had expected from the stories and rumors, there were not many Magnos people who were stout and plump . Most of the Magnos were skinny as they were starved . People understood the hards.h.i.+ps they had gone through and welcomed them in silence . The Magnos, who were all alert as they entered the village, looked dumbfounded at such a welcoming atmosphere . Some women became teary at such a horrible sight and one of the women came out, blocking the way . I! I am Margot Hezzrah, head maid of the countess! All you Magnos kids will come with me to the cafeteria . Those who are not adults, follow me! About a hundred or so women came out of the crowd behind her . The Magnos at the lead frowned . We are Magnos… I dont care what you are one way or another . I will not see children starve . The countess ordered me to feed the children, so I do as she says . We will not accept refusal . Children, follow me! The Magnos man backed away as she stepped up to him . You are a Magnos warrior, so you should do what you must do . I will do what I must . Margot spoke calmly and turned away . The women who were behind her opened up a path for her to move . Bring the children to the bathhouse and clean them . Get them some warm milk, and then bring them all to the cafeteria! Yes, maam! The women answered in unison . The Magnos were dumbfounded at what just happened, but the Magnos women soon became teary . It seemed that they were relieved to have finally arrived at a safe place . Guros . An old Magnos from the back called to the man at the front . Guros nodded at the voice . Women, follow them with the kids . Everything went smoothly after that . The Magnos were sleep-deprived, starved, and in bad condition overall . The Gerekstal, known for their fierce prowess, were nothing like the legends . The Magnos and Gerekstal mounts were starved and skinny . Look! Its only been two months and theyre now so fat! Someone pointed to the Gerekstals out in the field, grazing on the gra.s.slands . They were now back to their former glory as they were fed non-stop to get them back in shape . Part of the field was fenced off to allow the Gerekstal to graze on . Durans, cows, goats, and all kinds of herbivores also stayed together . As the corn and other crops began to reach fruition, it was enough to feed everyone . The village was now a beacon of hope to the people in the area . More refugees came to the village in hope of survival and a larger refugee camp was set up . However, it also caused problems . They began demanding more and compared themselves to the Ainos . They also fought each other because of greed . Joonb.u.m frowned each time something like that happened, but Jackson and Hectos took care of such problems easily . Next, he is Kotu . He raped a woman and murdered her afterward . The sentence is decapitation . The guillotine decapitated the man instantly and the head fell down on the ground . He murdered and to cover up… The sentence is decapitation . N-NO! PLEASE! Then, it was onto the next . Jackson and Hectos carried out the sentencing and execution of criminals in place of Joonb.u.m . The swift and powerful enforcement of the village quelled some of the troubles . Its always faster to rule this way . Joonb.u.m always wondered why medieval times usually resorted to violence and terror to rule the people . These people were not educated enough to have ethics and it was hard to make them follow the rules . Freedom will only make them starve to death . These people had no power to take care of themselves out in the wild and that was why they had gathered here in the first place . This village was the best there was . Hectos initiated the machine again, cutting off the head of another criminal who had been leeching off people as he claimed that he was a n.o.ble . Splash water on him! Five whips! Water was poured upon a tied-up man and a soldier began whipping . Just five? He needs to be hanged! Five whips should be okay . Maybe I should do it too . They saw the whip was not a regular whip . It was dirty with blood and had rotten flesh all over it and the whip itself was made out of a chain . After just one whip, the man fainted from the pain . All the onlookers were shocked . Jackson smiled coldly as he felt the terror spreading through the crowd . Joonb.u.m also nodded in approval as it was what he wanted . After a total of five terrible whippings, no one from the crowd dared to commit any crimes .
