Dallac.

Vishel, who stood guard in front of the wagon, raises his hand, looking behind him.

“Why don't we stop here today? ”

“Let's do it. ”

‘Today is already the third day. ’

It has already been three days since I left Vratan territory and headed northwest.

The group consists of 10 merchants and 10 mercenaries including me. If there are fewer, if there are more, there are many.

“Kaiyan, what do you think? You think he's okay? ”

Barson talks as he circles around.

“Yes, I don't feel particularly dangerous. Let's rest here.”

I was traveling for three days, and I learned a fun fact.

The sense of danger created by the rise of agility is not a sense of danger.

More like a warning than a hazard, to be exact.

“That's amazing. How did you know the monsters were coming? ”

“My ears are a little more sensitive than others. I hear them approaching. ”

That's why Barneson asked me if I was okay.

Because I warned you about the monster attack for days.

At the time the Merchant Guild left and the first monster raid, I felt so weak that I really felt like it was ringing with danger.

And the 20 Goblins attacked us. Once upon a time, they were no threat at all now.

However, it should be assumed that the sensation is warning all variables rather than the risk.

“Mr. Jansen, let's rest here today. ”

Visel approaches the cart on which the merchant owner is riding, knocking on the door and asking.

“Very well. Tell everyone to take a break. ”

“Yes, I'll eat as usual. ”

When Bissel asked, Jansen answered without coming out, even though the wagon had stopped completely.

‘Isn't Jansen planning on coming out again today? ’

I don't know if that's what's unusual about Jansen, but he hasn't been out of the wagon in three days.

He's working on food, feces and everything else in the wagon. Why would he do that?

“Kaiyan, let's just get dinner ready. ”

“Yes, I will. ”

I wondered why, but I couldn't find out unless I asked him myself.

The mercenaries and workers who had organized the wagon to defend it began to come together and make a meal.

Meat stew bored for 3 days. It's just a little bit of meat in there, too.

“Well, if we keep up the pace, we'll hit the plains tomorrow. What do you think?”

“Yeah, I got here sooner than I thought. At this rate, we'll be in the plains by lunch tomorrow. ”

During the meal, mercenaries talked about the future.

"Plains. I'm not happy here. ’

The plains they speak of are connected to the Gamian plains.

It's very small compared to the Great Plain, but it's right under Gamian, so it's a dangerous place where monsters often show up.

Moreover, at the end of the monster wave, the Garmian Alliance would have already withdrawn, so there is a good chance that the monsters who came down to get food are filling up.

‘Well, most of them are small monsters. ’

As long as there are 10 mercenaries of Class C, there is no reason to be pushed by a small group of monsters. Plus, I have a situation where I hide my skills.

“What is the destination more than that? I think it's time I told you. ”

We only know that the destination is to the northwest, and we don't know the exact destination.

To be precise, Jansen knows the destination, and he just keeps asking to go northwest, but he doesn't say anything else.

“I know. The situation suggests Lewis Plain is the destination... What the hell was there? ”

‘Strange. Isn't the escort supposed to be a business trip? ’

But the plains of Lewis are a place where I know there are no villages. What the hell are they going to trade there for? For what gain?

“What does it matter? As long as we get the money we were promised. Isn't that right?”

“Well, that's true. ”

“Yes, I'm sure there's something in it for you. ”

As Barneson speaks to the mysterious mercenaries, they all acknowledge him.

You don't need to know any more than you did as a mercenary.

‘But there's nothing wrong with being careful. ’

From my perspective, I saw many people on the battlefield and knew that there were more ferocious humans than monsters, and I was naturally alert to the secret Terrian Merchant Guild.

“Hmm?"

At that moment, my senses rang carefully. Someone is approaching the party.

‘Monster. That's the second time today. ’

It's not surprising that you've been attacked by monsters several times while you were here, but it feels a little different than your normal ringing senses.

Chaen

“Huh? Ha……. ”

“I was going to take a break. ”

As I draw my sword and get up from my seat, the rest of the mercenaries get up from their seat sighing.

“What's this time? Goblins?"

“I don't know about that. I just know it's coming towards us. ”

The Mercenaries enter the wagon as they make their defensive advancements on the perimeter. Being in the wagon helps each other since they're only a distraction.

‘About 30 numbers... Then why are they coming from all over? ’

The monsters that have been raiding so far have flocked to one side and are strangely closing in on them, surrounded. It's like wearing a head.

“Mr. Barnes! They're coming from everywhere!”

“Everywhere? Sh-sh! Bissel! You take the other side! ”

“Yes! Katina, Berrium, Riesel! Follow me!”

Puss.

As they got closer, I could hear the grass moving unnaturally in my ears.

Now they'll come at us with bloodshot eyes. The competition to kill and die. But...

“... Why isn't it coming out? ”

“I've never done this before. ”

"Why?"

Why, in all fairness, they stayed hidden, even though they were close. Like they're watching us.

This is not just a monster attack.

“Mr. Barnes, I think.... ”

I was about to warn you.

Papa Pa Pa!

“Arrows!”

“Khhh!”

Dozens of arrows flew from the forest.

You calmly strike the arrow at me with your sword, but the other mercenaries quickly hide behind the wagon, blindly gazing at the damage caused by the arrow's baptism.

The problem was I never thought the arrow would fly.

“What's going on here? Arrows!”

“Ugh! Is this an Orc horde? I heard some Orcs shoot bows sometimes. ”

"Arrows."

Even arrow-flying monsters hide in an unusual yard and attack!

“Mr. Barnes, what are you going to do? ”

“Khhh... I need to hide in the wagon while they get closer. It can't be that bad. ”

Seeing Barnson drooling, he also has an arrow in one of his legs.

At most three of my mercenaries were unharmed.

It is disadvantageous to deal with wounded people who are pushed even by numbers.

‘I tried to go quietly... Do I have to show my skills? ’

After a brief thought, I tried to draw the power I had been restrained from.

“Everybody drop your weapons and get down! ”

“Drop your weapon if you don't want to die! ”

"People?"

I heard a human voice from the forest.

“Oh, shit! You were a thief, not a monster! ”

“A thief?”

“Looks like there's a band of bandits around here. Ha... My days have been rough. ”

Of course I thought you were a monster, but you were the one who attacked us.

I thought my senses sounded different than usual.

“Can't you hear me telling you to drop your weapons and get down? Or I'll kill them all! ”

Puss.

More than thirty people come out of the bush pointing their bows.

What's slightly unusual is that their outfits are similar to those worn by Allied soldiers.

“Let me talk to him first. ”

“What? Kaiyan! It's dangerous!”

Barneson stopped me from moving forward, but in this situation, the only way to fix them is for me to kill them all or talk them out of it.

‘I don't mind killing humans yet. ’

Just because you hunt monsters like you eat them doesn't mean you shouldn't kill humans. I just don't want to kill the same person unless they have a reason to.

“Let's talk for a moment. ”

“Drop your weapons! ”

Walking slowly forward, the bandits aim their bows.

“Just dropping your weapon... is that enough?" ”

I put the sword back into the sword to lower their vigilance, and the appearance of the evil bandits opened a bit.

“Hmmm, we don't really want to kill people. So if you just leave what you have, I'll let you go. ”

“Well… we're guarding the merchant guild. That's going to be hard. Do you have any other requirements? ”

“It doesn't matter! Leave your stuff now! ”

‘I have to kill him. ’

I don't know why they're stealing in the complexity of the Allied forces, but I can't hand over the merchandise from the side of the contract.

If the conversation doesn't work, there's only one way left.

Chaen

“Oh no! Shoot! Kill him!”

Papa Pa Pa!

As I draw my sword, dozens of arrows flew in to the urgent voice of the thief in front of me.

Arrows don't just fly from one side, they're a little tricky.

Heavy Strike! ’

You swing your sword transversely, circling back and forth while casting a strong blow. Then should we call it a strong slash.

Whoo-hoo!

Tutu tuk.

The arrows bounce off in vain.

Most of them bounce away without coming near by the wind pressure generated by the sword, and fortunately, even the nearest arrow is struck by the sword and all of them fall away.

“Ugh! Shoot again! Hurry up!"

“I can't let that happen! ”

Pa!

You rush toward the screaming thief, plunging into the ground.

The downside of a bow is that it won't work on adjacent opponents, so they won't be able to shoot arrows if they stay close together. If you're wrong, your colleague will be right.

“Ugh! Die! ”

The bandits also swung their spears at me, who was close to them, to see if they had realized it.

If they decide to kill me, I have no reason to hesitate anymore.

"If you have made a choice, be bold! ’

He leans down toward the coming spear from all sides, avoiding it and releasing his sword.

Phew!

“Khhh!”

A thief with a sword in the middle of his chest spits out his blood like a fountain and slowly falls to the ground.

‘… Not as unpleasant as I thought. ’

Was he drunk with their frenzy while hunting monsters on the battlefield?

The fact that he killed a person was transmitted vividly through his fingertips, but not much different from when he killed the monster. I feel like I killed him because he had to.

“Hey, you! Kill Calban! Kill him! ”

“Die!”

The thieves came at me with crude spears and swords, whether they were angry with their comrades' deaths or not, and I suddenly saw them smiling from my mouth.

"You attack to kill and grieve for your comrade's death?" ’

When you decide to kill someone, it's only natural that you should be prepared.

Profit

A spear that pierces my heart in a straight line.

The spear pierces the air as you turn to the right. A simple attack that doesn't involve any deception.

You don't even have to rely on your senses to deal with them. Dodging it with your eyes is enough.

Heavy Strike! ’

Puhwaak

“Khh...! ”

“Monster, monster! ”

A single strike with the power of a skill knocks the spear out while the life of the thief is cut off. I feel like I'm dealing with a group of Goblins. If it's something a little different, it's smarter than a Goblin.

“Kaiyan! We got your back! ”

You hear Bissel's voice behind you as you slaughter the bandits for a long time.

I thought the bandits behind me didn't attack.

Mercenaries were carrying injured bodies and helping them.

‘I don't need your help. ’

Thank you, but I'm worried that some mercenaries will die for no reason. I came forward to protect them, and that would be pointless.

‘Then we'll have to do it faster. ’

“Rrrrgh!”

“My, my arm! ”

“I don't have time to play! ”

The user grips the sword, and its power is strong. I was a bit relaxed until just now, but when I saw the mercenaries behind me, I was in a hurry.

Pierce through! ’

Phew!

“Ugh... Ugh... Monster, monster... ”

“I've heard that a lot. Is there one left? ”

Only one of the 20 bandits standing in front of us. The other 19 died splattering their blood fountains by my sword.

“Then you too.... ”

“Ship, white captain! Help me!”

“… What? ”

You pause as you try to swing the sword.

When I looked at him, I thought I heard him wrong, he opened his mouth urgently.

“Caucasian commander! Don't you remember me? The Seventh Special Forces! ”
