The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"Who are the humans outside the shelter?"

Aarons asked this question after leaving the shelter with Yalu through the gap in the barrier.

His memory was still sealed, so he was unable to judge the situation outside.

However, Yalu may not know much about the human world, so he is also very clear that he may not get the answer he wants.

"Bad guys are different from brothers."

“…They must be bad guys.”

Although he knew that it would most likely be difficult to communicate with those humans, Aarons still hoped to obtain more information - this seemed to be a habit he had.

"However, those people started killing each other a few days ago."

"Internal conflict?... Let's go over there and take a look."

In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, the two men carefully moved through the woods.

A light mist always shrouded them, and according to Yalu, this was actually an ability she used to interfere with other people's cognition.

Yalu's ability is actually not suitable for combat. Normally, she can only use her misty body to release mental power to confuse or interfere with the perception of others.

"…There's a smell of blood and burning, right up ahead."

"Yes, human breath."

However, not long after they walked, Aarons and Yalu discovered disturbing traces.

A very strong burnt smell came through the gaps in the sparse woods, which immediately made people alert - and after quickly approaching, Aarons saw a tragic scene that almost made him vomit.

In an open area in the forest, the dilapidated camp seemed to have just experienced a disaster.

The place was littered with charred human corpses and broken limbs, with no signs of any living people...and the strong smell of blood and burnt food proved that the people here had just been killed not long ago.

"This should be a military camp, but..."

The tents and weapon racks that had not been completely burned down proved that this was probably a military camp that originally housed quite a few people.

But such a group of soldiers were slaughtered so cruelly... What exactly happened here?

"Brother, I can recall some of the illusions in the past."

"...Can you see the past? I'll leave it to you."

Aarons suppressed the physical discomfort and watched Yalu walk into the ruins of the disaster, letting a thick fog envelope her body.

Then, the false illusions from the past reappeared in this place.

……

"Hey! Don't be lazy, guys! The captain said that the barrier can't hold out for much longer."

"We just finished our patrol. Damn it... Didn't you hear that our king and those tribal leaders seemed to have been killed by the Imperials on the front line?"

"That's a rumor! Listen carefully, our mission is just to wait for the barrier to disappear and capture all the aliens inside. Don't worry about other things, someone will take care of it for you!"

——Not long ago, several people dressed as soldiers were patrolling in the military camp and chatted with a man dressed as an officer about recent events.

"But...if that's the case, then the tribes will start fighting each other."

"That's right. Without a king, those big tribes will definitely cause trouble."

"You worry too much! Listen, this has indeed happened. That's why we have to make something that can be sold in order to find a way to survive."

Those people all looked worried, even the officer-like man had a worried expression.

However, although the situation is a bit troublesome, what they are going to do is not a good thing either - they plan to hunt people hiding in the shelter in order to gain the capital to turn things around in the chaos.

To harm others for their own benefit...they have already sown the seeds of cause and effect.

"Okay, you guys go back and rest. I'll go contact the captain... We don't have enough manpower in this camp, we should have more people—"

"There are enemies outside! They look like guys from the Barol tribe!"

"Barol!? Damn it - you guys, prepare for battle... No, run!"

However, before these soldiers had time to prepare themselves, a blazing fire magic exploded in the center of the camp, blowing the soldiers who had just been resting there into pieces.

"Level 4 magic! Those lunatics from Barol...everyone, get out of here!"

"Captain! We..."

"Don't waste time! If you hesitate any longer we will--"

Before the commander-like man could utter his orders, another spell fell precisely beside them...burning him and several soldiers from before into ashes.

Then, a team of soldiers riding on magical beasts rushed into the military camp from a distance and began to kill the people here without mercy.

"These people are from the Gruul tribe! So kill them all! We, Balor, are the kings of the dusk!"

"Damn it...Run away!"

Although the soldiers in the camp wanted to launch a counterattack against the sudden attack of the enemy, they were outnumbered and outmatched in strength, and ultimately failed to resist these former colleagues.

When the short battle finally ended, all the soldiers who were waiting to be hunted turned into motionless corpses.

……

"…It turned out to be a civil strife."

Sunset... The knowledge Aarons possesses contains some information about this country.

This was a multi-tribal kingdom, and many tribes started out as hunters and plunderers. So even if a certain tribe's king unified the kingdom, he was unable to change this barbaric custom.

Even after unification, there was still considerable friction between the tribes - some tribes would not hesitate to kill members of the hostile tribe who strayed into their sphere of influence.

But now, most of the leaders of this barbaric country have died in a war.

"The battle with the Twilight People... um..."

A severe headache came instantly, interrupting Aarons' thoughts.

The illusion before his eyes also disappeared, and the bloody remains returned to reality again.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"It's okay... I just didn't expect that humans would treat their fellow human beings so cruelly."

If people belonging to the same country can fight against each other like this, then is there also such meaningless killing in the place where I once lived?

...Perhaps it is because of things like this that I lost my memory.

"Okay, I guess the problem outside the barrier should be solved... Let's go back."

"Well, then..."

But before Aarons and Yalu could leave, a loud explosion that resounded through the sky suddenly came from the direction of the shelter.

——Is there something wrong over there? !
