(Um, Sorry) I've Been Reincarnated (Web Novel)

Chapter 151 - To The Church

I wiped the place I was staying for the night from my memory.

....I'll forget about the inn and focus on the church instead.

Leaving my luggage in the room, I hurried out onto the streets. I would reached the church as long as I walked directly straight to the center of Center-Tulle. The citizens around were still avoiding us as we walked down the street but now was not the time to be concerned about it. It's sad but this was a serious problem that we should worked on later.

" These old men are so difficult because they have no fear of the law at all. "

" How did you controlled them in the past? It was not like this the previous time I came to Center-Tulle. "

" Ah, that's because we had very obvious 'power' situated here at that time. .....'Fighting power' (violence). "

" Fighting power...? "

Guta explained in detail to the puzzled me. According to the information from King Kesamu, the soldiers situated here were on the verge of collapse. True, they lost when they tried to invaded Elzmu. With the rein hold by another country, it was already a wonder that they were still functioning.

The soldier numbers here were also greatly weaken due to the Grousil, who captured people from other nations for slave trading, had his men jailed because of that. It had also caused Hattuo's army force to weaken as well.

Plus the matter with the [Shadows].

The [Shadows] hideout was situated in this street and the leader of the [Shadows] was under the Emperor's control. It had seemed that the leader had directly threatened the church with their power. And since the [Shadows] had been destroyed, the church started acting up.

" How can it be... "

I was stunned when I heard Guta's explanation. The [Shadows] had threatened and attacked my family and friends and I had viewed them, as well as Hattuo, as the enemy. I did not expected that in defeating them, I would be causing harm upon the citizens here. Viewing 'Hattuo' as the enemy did included their citizens as well though...

I was not that hypocritical to think that I was the one at fault in causing this entire mess but I too, can't pretended I did nothing wrong either.

I can't helped but wondered if the citizens here wouldn't be in this situation had I not defeated them. I should had thought of the consequences behind very move I made. But there was also a part of me that felt that I was too much of a big shot to think that everything I do would affect something.

Both views were correct yet wrong. It was just a matter of choices. Yes, in the end, it all lay in the cause and the beginning. It was the one who created this problem at fault.

Plus, I had vowed to myself at that time.

That I would protect the ones I loved.

But I was still overcome by all the feelings I had inside of me. Naturally, my eyes swam about. As if noticing the state of my mind, Guta glared at the church as his spittle started flying out.

" No matter what, they are still bastards for what they had done, Will. "

I gave a deep nod as I continued walking. Rather than stopping, it was better to destroy the enemies in front quickly. I can do the regretting later.

As we approached the church, the number of people walking about dwindled even more. Didn't this defeated the purpose of a church that was meant for people to pray in?

As we reached the doors of the church, there was not even a single person around. The huge extravagantly decorated doors was left wide opened as it was. As I was thinking that most church did left their doors open, I was surprised by something I saw.
