"It's already so big!" "What is this CORN?" "It's bigger than a child's 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…" "It's 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 hardships 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 don't 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, ma'am!" 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! It's only been two months and they're now so fat!" Someone pointed to the Gerekstals out in the field, grazing on the grasslands. 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. Joonbum 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 Joonbum. The swift and powerful enforcement of the village quelled some of the troubles. 'It's always faster to rule this way.' Joonbum 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 noble. "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. Joonbum 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.
