“… Do you know me? ”

I'm quite surprised to see Jeff's face.

Well, I'm surprised Max even knows Jeff's name.

“Haha, you've met a celebrity. Orc Slayer Jeff Calaine! None of the soldiers on the outskirts will recognize you. ”

“Ah, I don't want to... I thought you knew me personally. It was a long time ago that I met someone I knew on the battlefield.... ”

"The Orc Slayer Jeff Calais... it's real. ’

At the entrance, I sometimes remember hearing the stories of other soldiers. At that time, I thought it was just a joke among soldiers, but when I hear it through Max's mouth, I feel different.

“Haha... This is embarrassing. ”

“Not one or two of my forces have saved their lives because of you! It's so nice to meet you. ”

‘No wonder. Jeff's a comedian. ’

If a user didn't come to the outskirts of the battlefield with the majority of small monsters, that's even weirder.

When we looked at Jeff who looked amazing, we urged him to think of us as if he had remembered.

“Ah! Let's not do this! Let's talk on the move! We don't have much time. ”

Moving toward the Special Forces, Max thankfully gave us a lot of information.

He certainly lived in the military for a long time, so there was more information on this side than Uncle Jeff.

“So it's best to stay within a certain distance of the commander. ”

When Max stretched his fingers and emphasized, Jeff lit up his eyes.

“You mean the safest place is near the commander? ”

“Yes, the Knights of the Special Forces don't stand a chance. Ah! But it's bad to be too close, so it's best to keep a reasonable distance. If knights get uncomfortable planting, we'll be the ones to see the damage. ”

“Ah, that makes sense. I'll keep that in mind.”

Jeff and Max were having a conversation that didn't make any sense to me.

I couldn't bear the curiosity and looked at Uncle Max.

“Why? Shouldn't knights be on the front lines? ”

“Phew, their role is different from that of a regular knight. It's their job to guard the commander. They won't care if a few or dozen soldiers die. ”

‘... a toy. That's why you said that. ’

From what I heard, the Special Forces were just like the toys of Jeff's children.

And we were sacrificed sheep for that nobleman's specialty.

“Well, there it is. Come on, let's go.

Further in from the center, a large number of Special Forces flags are being swayed by the wind.

I stopped walking in front of the flag with the number 7 and looked at Uncle Max. It's time for us to part ways.

”Then Uncle Max...“

“I should part ways here. I'm with the 7th Special Forces. ”

“Yes? We're with the 7th Special Forces. ”

I can't believe Uncle Max was also part of the 7th Special Forces like us. Should I say it's strange, or should I say we were unlucky?

Uncle Max smiled to see if he liked it.

“Really? I'm glad we have someone we can trust, huh? Let's get going. We'll be in trouble if we arrive late. ”

When I arrived at the 7th Special Forces, there were already a lot of people gathered.

The strange thing is that their faces all look dark and discontent.

Maybe it's because most of them were forcibly drawn like us.

“Everyone, form up! Move, move, move, move! ”

While you watch the soldiers for a moment, a knight in a plate armor appears, shouting loudly and instructing the soldiers to advance.

“Phew… here we go. ”

“Kaiyan, again, you must stay close to me. ”

Jeff looked at me with a sad face and said,

“Yes, don't worry. Oh, Max, you're coming with us. ”

“Klael, you're talking to me first. I'd love to hang out with guys like you. The central battlefield is not worth it. ”

‘The central battlefield. ’

In fact, I was a little scared, but I didn't feel so scared that my whole body was trembling.

And of course, this is possible because we've got the privilege of the player system everywhere.

Now I'm not a weak Kaiyan, but a Kaiyan who grew up through levels and reward boxes.

‘Rather, this could be an opportunity. ’

What we're looking forward to in the meantime is level-up.

There are strong creatures waiting on the central battlefield that are nothing compared to the outside monsters. How much experience do they give you?

Entering this dangerous central battlefield may be an opportunity for me to take one more step forward. You'll need a prerequisite that you don't die.

“Deputy, are you ready? ”

You hear a very intricate voice that doesn't match the battlefield when you think about it.

Turning your head toward him, you see a knight or nobleman in luxurious armor.

“It can't be... it can't be him, right? ”

I closed my eyes desperately hoping that what I expected was wrong.

“Yes, Tarien! A total of 800 people have gathered just the skilled ones! ”

“Good work, everyone. Listen up! I am Tarien, commander of the 7th Special Forces! ”

The voice of the man who brutally violates my expectations.

Oh, my God. The noble who introduced himself as Tarien is too young. Can I be 13 or 14 if I play a lot?

I expected it to be somewhat due to noble discipline, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

“Ha... I don't think this is real. ”

I squeezed my mouth and sighed on my own. And it's not just me.

“I see... Even so, a kid like that is a commander..." ”

“This... ugh. I knew it.”

The sighing and complaining voices that erupt everywhere.

I'm not the only one who thinks so. I can't believe I have to fight monsters under the command of a kid who looks younger than me.

“Be quiet. When the knights hear of it, we will be executed. ”

“Yes…. ”

I closed my mouth as Max advised.

It's true that there are many complaints against the young commander, but I don't want to die right now.

Phew! Phew!

After some progress, the war trumpet sounds and announces the beginning of the war.

Why do I hate the sound of trumpets that I usually like to hear?

‘Here we go. I'll eat you in the middle of the battlefield. ’

Now, as soon as the commander's orders were issued, it was difficult to calm my heart down with the feeling that I was really entering the central battlefield.

Gulp.

The moment I passed by with a loud saliva on my sharp neck, I thought I was quite nervous.

“Everyone follow me! Attack!”

“… Huh? ”

“What?”

Suddenly, Tarien, the young commander of the 7th Special Forces, cries out in a loud voice.

Despite Commander General's unaccounted for attacks yet.

No, it's not, is it? ’

He picked up his sword high, riding a beautiful black horse, and jumped forward on his own.

Is he mistaken for a fairy tale character? Stupid move like that.

“W-well, everyone protect Tarien! ”

While everyone was embarrassed, the knights who were guarding him started hurrying after him.

“H-how can I help you, Jeff? ”

Suddenly, the commander ran away alone and the 7th Special Forces soldiers, including me, were hesitating.

Because I've never had a commander do anything this stupid in the war.

“Still waiting… you can charge when the Commander's orders come through. ”

“That would be... nice. ”

We were in the Alliance before we joined the Special Forces. That's why even if the commander ordered the attack, like Jeff said, the commander's order comes first.

If we follow the commander for no reason, it's an odd situation for us to be punished.

“Khmhm, attack! ”

At that moment, the magical loudspeaker sends out a slightly bewildered attack order from the commander.

The atmosphere suggests that after the war today, Tarien might hear a shout from the Commander.

‘I wish I could disqualify him for command for everyone. ’

The best thing about this situation is that Tarien is disqualified from command or that the 7th Special Forces themselves are gone.

If we do that, we'll be able to get back to the perimeter.

“Let's go!”

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Charge!! ”

But now, for better or worse, the commander of the 7th Special Forces is Tarien.

Following the Commander's attack order, you and your soldiers begin to pursue the commander running far away.

I wanted to go on my own, but it was impossible to go on my own as it was when I was on the outskirts of the center.

Shhhhhhh!

Monsters from afar.

“... That's amazing. ”

The drone itself shifted at a different level than the perimeter.

Every step forward, we get closer and closer to them.

As I looked closely at their hideous appearance, I realized how cute the Goblins looked so far.

“A small monster was no big deal. ”

Goblins, tiny monsters like knols? All have already been killed by Allied ranged attacks.

Monsters who survived the brute force attack are only scary monsters like Ogres, Minotaurs over 5 meters in weight, Trolls that recover from crazy regeneration, and Red Orcs that are as fast as any knight.

“Huff-puff... Oops! We need to move faster. ”

At that moment, Max, who was running hard with his square shield, cried out in haste.

“Faster than now? Why?”

“If that stupid commander dies, that's too bad! ”

Tarien and the knights were riding horses, so they were already encountered by monsters.

The knights are skilled, so it shouldn't be a problem right now, but I can see more and more monsters surrounding them.

“... Wouldn't that be better? ”

When I saw him, I came up with a bad idea.

If Tarien is killed by monsters, maybe Uncle Jeff and I can go back to our old troops.

But Max opens his mouth with his eyes wide open, saying, "What a stupid thing to say."

“Phew! If he dies, we'll suffer the consequences! The noble commander is dead and you think he'll leave us alone? Command will probably have us out front the next day. ”

‘No way.'

If it's the front, it's the front of the Central Knights.

“Does that mean you have to die? ”

“Well... maybe. Enough of that. ”

Jeff, who was running side by side, nodded his head.

“Kaiyan, don't you know what nobles are like? ”

“Ha… I know too well. ”

Nobles are the object of fear for the common people in any country.

That's because they have the power to kill civilians for no particular reason. But if a noble commander dies in the war, will the other nobles leave their troops alone?

“Phew… Uncle Jeff, let's go first. ”

“Follow me! ”

Then we have to save that fool in order to survive.

Leather armor made me feel less tired even though I jumped up and down.

Based on me and Uncle Jeff, the fast-footed soldiers started running towards the commander like crazy.

Kwaaaahhhh!

Kwung! Kwung!

“Mister!... But how are we going to deal with these guys? ”

I came running to save the commander... but I couldn't figure out how to defeat a large monster right in front of me.

These guys are so different from the little monsters I was dealing with.

“Kaiyan, aim for the bridge at all costs! If we're going to catch them, we need to take them down! I'll go in first! ”

Pa!

Jeff sprints to the monster as if to show me a demonstration. Such a fast speed that you can't keep up like a user.

“Ahhhhh!! ”

“Khhhhhhh!”

What a big monster.

My body trembles when I hear the furious roar of the Minotaur, even before I admire Jeff's fancy swordsmanship.

A fear that rises from the depths of your heart. The horror that would kill him right now is trying to calm his mind.

“W-wait, let's calm down... They're alive, too. ”

I closed my eyes for a moment, knowing that it was dangerous to force the roar to drown my mind.

‘..... monsters are the enemies of the family. ’

If you run away from monsters because of your fear, what's different between me and the past?

“Kaiyan! Wake up! ”

“Kuaaaak!”

When I woke up to Jeff's shout and opened my eyes, he was holding Minotaur's gaze with a splendid gesture.

A movement that cannot be mimicked by ordinary people as an error user.

‘Let's kill him. Let's kill him and overcome our fears. ’

Knng.

The user holds the sword firmly with a slight tremor.

“Kill it. Like killing a Goblin.”

He leans forward, calmly breathing to overcome the horror.

I told you I was going for the bridge! ’

Now that he's looking at the other side, it's a good time to attack.

I transferred the hot heat from my heart to my fingertips and swung the sword as it was.

Extreme

“Crazy…! ”

I'm sure I wielded my sword properly and managed to hit him, but the wound he sustained was a little fresh on the skin.

The skin of the first large monster I encountered was too tough and firm.

The Minotaur glances at me for even the slightest of attacks, and continues to target Jeff. Like I don't even care.

“... you have to stab a little faster and stronger. ”

The thought of being ignored by the monster made me furious.

How dare a monster ignore me? All of them will die at my hands one day.

“Kaiyan, go after the place I cut down! ”

Jeff yelled out loud and told me how he knew what I was thinking.

“Wound area! Got it!”

The target is an unprotected piece of hard leather due to the wounds inflicted by Jeff's attack.

It may not be easy to successfully attack where you want to attack an opponent that moves with my skills, but now is your chance to get Jeff's attention.

‘Calm down. Concentrate…. ’

Calmly pulls the right arm with the sword to its limit, hating all of its weight on the left foot.

“... you can do it. Heave! Heave! ”

As I held my breath, I stretched out my back arm as hard as I could.

Clavicular fluid

Perhaps you are too focused, but you see a slower blade firing forward momentarily. Like you deliberately put your sword out late.

Phew!

“Rrrrgh!”

The stabbed blade entered the wound properly, and the hard leather's unprotected internal lining brought the feel of bay to life through my fingertips.

"I knew it! Even a Minotaur can't be that hard!" ’

As the man who ignored me screamed in pain, his anger subsided a little, and he immediately relaxed.

“Success…. ”

“Look out!! ”

Boo!

For a brief moment, Minotaur, furious at the terrible pain he felt on the bridge, shakes his fist at me.

Maybe I was too careless. Now his fist is too fast to avoid.

“Damn it!”

The user raises its shield, being prepared for an arm injury toward the flying fist.

Honestly, I wasn't sure how to stop it with a shield, but now I have no choice but to trust my shield skill.

Kuaang!

Huge noises that will make you deaf.

But I felt no pain in my arms. Let's go easy on him and lower the shield.

“Cough! That's amazing! It won't be twice. ”

“Uncle Max! ”

Uncle Max is trying hard with his square shield to block Minotaur's fist.

The man who came running suddenly stopped him with a square shield instead of me.

The man coughed and whispered whether the shock was significant.

“Mister! Are you okay? ”

“Khh...! Time to ask him some questions. Let's start with him! Because you can't stop it twice! ”

“Ew! Don't worry! ”

The moment he lowers his head slightly to Uncle Max and rushes back to Minotaur.

“It's a huge monster! Stick together and hit them! ”

“Wow, that's huge. ”

“You have to aim for the bridge! ”

Soldiers from the Special Forces arrived late, one by one.

“Kwaaaah!”

Immediately, a Minotaur encountered dozens of soldiers and focused their efforts on his injured leg.

“Keep your eyes distracted! If you get one wrong shot, you're dead! ”

“Now stab! ”

‘Obviously they have skills. ’

Like the Knight said, the soldiers seem to have brought skilled men.

Now is not the time for you and Jeff to have a fight. When the Minotaur attack came, a number of soldiers with shields held together to stop it, and through it, armed soldiers with swords and spears attacked.

Although he didn't have a role to play, he knew what to do, mostly because he was a skilled soldier.

‘… let's kill him. ’

I couldn't be sure until I saw him.

That I could kill that beast screaming.

“I can kill you. ”

I stopped trembling like a lie and drew a smile on my mouth that didn't fit the situation.
