The God of Comprehensive Manga is in Control

Everyone was devouring the food that Xia Qing supported. Fortunately, Raphtalia managed to stop Filo who was drooling, otherwise the food would have been eaten within a minute after it was cooked.

It was okay when the tyrannical Wang Gang was overthrown.

Taxes have become lighter, and people's lives have become a little easier.

However, everything changed back to normal soon.

This time it was people in the resistance that raised the tax rate.

"Why? Didn't it take so long to defeat that bad king?"

"...Well, to run a country, a lot of money is necessary, and in order to prevent the reduction of combat power, the tax rate must be raised."

So, maybe the king wasn't a villain who practiced tyranny, but did it in order to secure the minimum funds needed to protect the country's military power.

If there is no people, there is no country. If there are people but cannot be guarded, the country is not a country.

In this situation, I only collect bad rumors about the king. If I only look at these, I will definitely want to get rid of him.

For the king, even if he knows something is wrong, there are times when he has to do it.

It's a pity that the king of Meromag is an idiot from beginning to end, and being able to be stupid from beginning to end is considered a talent.

"It's just that the boss has changed, and life is still difficult, so I tried my best to collect some valuable things, so I came to Melomag, which is a little richer."

"Your Majesty the King is so pitiful~! Originally, I put everyone's affairs first~ Whose fault is it that my stomach is empty now~?"

"All right, Philo."

"Oh……"

Rebuked Filo, who exposed the scars.

Recently, this guy has inexplicably gained some wisdom, and his mouth has become poisonous.

"Who exactly do you look like..."

Raphtalia, who muttered softly, looked at Xia Qing delicately.

Xia Qing was looked at with question marks all over his face.

"Um???"

"Probably like Lord Xia Qing?"

"what's wrong?"

"No, nothing..."

Although Filo said so, it is speculated from the rumors that Chuansumi also joined the resistance organization, so the king may not be a purely good person.

Putting these aside, are these people smuggled into the country to buy dark rice?

To put it this way, the soaring food prices in the vicinity are all thanks to this.

"If things go on like this, there will be a country that will attack our weakened land one day... But if the famine continues like this, even life will be difficult."

It is probably due to the influence of the waves of disasters. Maybe famines occur frequently in various places.

After leaving some food for those people, Xia Qing set off again.

At sunset, they finally arrived at a certain village shown on the map.

Rented a hotel here.

"It's only a few days away from the wave."

After spending two days here, Xia Qing first left the carriage at the hotel, and then directly used the teleporter to bring the team back to Melomag.

On the night of returning to Melomag, five volunteer soldiers came to say hello when they were resting in the hotel.

Chapter 52 The Battle Begins

"Good evening, Lord Shield Hero."

"What's the matter with you?"

Xia Qing asked.

The supporters and soldiers quickly spoke in a respectful tone.

"I want to discuss with you about the wave."

Each of them has a serious expression on their faces.

"Raphtalia has already experienced a wave, Filo, Sakura, you two should come together, after all, you also have to participate in this wave, and you must take precautions in advance."

"Come on~"

"Good~"

"I'm not so clear about the details of the wave. After all, I was just sent to the battle as a shield hero to destroy the monsters. I can only explain some monsters that will appear in this wave. Is that okay?"

"Yes! We want to protect the people, please lend us your strength, Lord Shield Hero."

Xia Qing nodded.

"Let's review the last wave first. In the last wave I participated in, the monsters that appeared would attack the residents of nearby villages. Therefore, in order to protect the villagers, I became the priority target of the monsters."
