Drifters: Special Edition

You burned 30% of the city

and we're still in middle of putting out fires

The Government office building is pretty much completely destroyed, isn't it?!

Well, the gunpowder and the oil really did a number on it

It felt great

FELT GREAT MY ASS! YOU PYROMANIAC!!

Wasn't this suppose to be a simple Coup d'état?

Coup d'état? Speak Japanese, will ya?

I'M NOT JAPANESE, YOU DAMN JAP!!

YOU'RE NOISY! THE APPEARANCE OF BLACK KING's MEN WAS UNEXPECTED, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW?!

I did my best under all those conditions! I deserves praise!

That I fucking know

That aside, how is Toyo doing?

Right now, Yoichi is stitching his wounds up

He did well to survive, that child

He is not waking up at all, is he? Even though he's full of stitches

It doesn't feels like I'm stitching up wounds anymore, it feels like I'm weaving cloth instead

This guy, you see

Ever since he's come to this world, his body has been bruised and battered

If he living like this in this world, then how was he living before this?

It was all thanks to Toyo, heh, that things went so well

If that enemy general had come at us instead, it would have been a big mess

Stop him, that child will die at this rate

He's the general, isn't he?

Even if I stop him, he wouldn't stop

He is a natural-born samurai

Even if I stop him, he wouldn't stop. He definitely wouldn't stop

Even his parent couldn't stop him, or his own lord

Even when he was back at Shimazu, he was like this

If he would only just listen a little, it would make feel so much more at ease

Do you know the three kingdom?

Of course I do. I'm Nobunaga ya know?

Looking at you right now, you don't exactly have the face of a strategist

Oh?

You know, you might see yourself as someone like Zhou Yu or Zhuge Liang

But you're more like Chen Gong in your current state

NO, NOT CHEN GONG!!

He died, he died at the end didn't he?

Apologize to Lubu! Everyone dies in the three kingdom anyway!

Well then, what will we do after this?

No matter what we choose to do, we weren't able to make this a bloodless occupation right?

The empire's troop from other places won't just give in with a "yes, is that so?"

The Black King attacked from the front gate to make sure this happen

The troops around here will appoint their leaders

then they probably choose to self-rule, which is fedual rule

But, don't worry

Because for me, destroying fedual rule is my speciality amongst my specialities

Up until now, you've only had just a little taste of "Tenka Fubu"

I'm back, any movement at the northern wall?

They are doing something, but, I can't tell what they're doing within the wall

We will never make any progress like this

I took down 2 scouts and snatched their equipment

with these, we can sneak inside the wall

What you think? Or should I go in alone?

No, I'll go as well

If I don't, I will never know what going on in there.

Both the master and student of this Octobrist organization are so rash

What with these crowds? isn't this just like a capital city?

Lower your voice, it's all over if they notice us

I just can't believe it... this is insane!

These monster are doing trade

Is that currency they are using? Are those copper!?

Where are they getting them?

The Bronze Dragon!

A living copper mine huh?

I've never seen a market so lively

All other kingdoms are exhausted by war

other than Gu-Binnen, this is probably probably the most thriving capital there is

What happened to the resident of Carneades who used to live at the northern wall?

Were they all killed?

Look!

Slavery is something you find in all kingdoms

It always has been a part of history

But...

There is one definitive difference between us and them

We don't eat our slaves!

Hold it in!

This is too cruel

They're no slaves, they're livestock

They are treating them the same way we treat livestock

They sell them, make them carry loads, and make them work

And they eat them. They've turned human into livestock

We started by gathering wild horses and sheep

They've developed livestock and a slavery system in tandem

But... This happens too quickly!

There is no way they could build a civilization this quickly

The Orcs and Goblins couldn't even farm until recently

but now, they have writing, currency, economy, labour and slavery

Mankind needed decades or centuries to accomplish this

Even if they have The Black King and the Ends to teach them... Are these Orcs and Goblins could actually learn?

Have they done something to these monsters?

Well now, what do we have here?

What nation's spy are you?

Or are you members of the Octobrist?

You've got some courage

Sorry, but you was the one who attack first

Do... Doug!

You are Octobrists, ain't you?

I've seen everything, End. The truth about this place!

Everything? What a joke

What you have to see is beyond the wall!

Us Ends have assembled all these for our army

I'm excited for a good fight

say what you want, we are strong

Like the Taira, you'll be destroyed

We will enjoy watching your agony

It isn't just the Kobold or the Goblin anymore

This is an all out battle of survival between mankind and all monsters!

This is... This is impossible!

No matter what Ends did, for all these different kind of monsters to unite...

"We will use the Drifters to unite people of different language, nation or way of life to fight"...

... That was what the Octobrists said.

"What we're doing here, you certainly don't"

"What we accomplished, you certainty can't"

Huh, what an arrogant way of thinking

The Black King did it faster than you

That's because he is used to this

He know how to save them all... an expert savior

Great kings, great scholars, there are countless of them in history

But, this, there is only one person who could do all this in such a short time

Indeed. show yourself, Abe no Haruakira

How long do you intend to hide in the shadow of your disciple?

A savior who abandon mankind is no savior

Just a harmful and undesirable being

To think that this world need human

That's very hubristic of such a knowledgeable scholar

Unlike you, I haven't lost my faith in humanity

Humanity have great potential, I will never allow you to destroy it

The world of men will die

Mankind will perish, and a new race shall inherit this world

This is what called the beginning of a new age

You were talking about mankind's potential, Octobrist

Such potential is what I could not tolerate

People are too smart

The Drifters brought rifles and gunpowder

But regardless, after some hundred years, the humans of this world would invent them too

And even if all drifters were to disappear right now

the rifles and gunpowder they left would still be improved

How many thousands, how many millions more would be killed by those weapon?

What will the drifters bring next? what will they produce?

Something that could destroy an entire city in an instant? an all-killing plague?

Nothing could exist next to men, that's my utter conviction

I want to save these lives. No, if I don't save them, humans would destroy all life.

I will wipes out mankind, and let the others take their place

That's my salvation

I will kill all humans, I will speed up their extinction

I will kill all the drifters!

Quit your hypocrisy!

What about your monsters?

You taught them trade, you taught them agriculture

It's the same! even if they take over this world

sooner or later, they too will invent rifles and gunpowder

Even if mankind is heading toward what you said

isn't what you're doing right now but the very same thing?!

Technology and culture... there were times when neither made a single step foward

Rather, they even stepped backward
