After the defensive battle against the undead army, my normal life has returned.
However, some things have changed.
We, the 5th squad, had been labeled as a group of troublemakers by our colleagues, but our reputation had changed drastically after our performance in the last battle.
“Yo, the ace squad of our guard corps”
When I arrived at the barracks, Chief Bolton called out to me.
“That way of calling me…… you’re not messing with me, are you?”
“No, no. Not at all. The other guys thought so too. Now no one will complain about your appointment as squad leader.
Right……
In the past, there were many people who talked behind my back and gave me the cold shoulder. That was perhaps because I was the fastest person to become a squad leader.
However, after the defensive battle against the undead army, it stopped.
In fact, those who used to talk about me behind my back were now saying,
“I knew you could do it”
“You’re the person whose fastest to be promoted to squad leader.”
Or that’s what they had been saying.
In the end, if you can produce results, people’s opinions will easily change.
That’s what I learned from this incident.
“So… Sieg, there’s a job I want to ask you guys to do.”
“You’re pushing the troublesome stuff on me again?”
“Don’t be silly. Work is basically nothing but trouble, you know. Naturally, that’s what I’ll be asking you guys to do.”
It was a bit refreshing to be told like this.
“And? What’s the job?” I asked half-heartedly.
“I’d like to ask you to guard the penitentiary?”
“Guarding the penitentiary?”
“That’s right. There’s a bandit leader that we’ve kept captive in the capital. The execution of this man will take place tomorrow.” Chief Bolton said.
“The group had been quite vicious. They didn’t just steal money and goods but also killed many people. They even sold women and children into slavery.”
To put it bluntly, they were villains.
“He is the head of the large bandit gang. When he’s executed, his underlings would undoubtedly attack to free him.”
“I see. So you need a guard.”
“That’s right.”
Chief Bolton nodded his head. Seira, who was now standing next to me, opened her mouth timidly.
“Ummm…… if that’s the case, why not just do the execution in secret? That way, I don’t think we’ll be attacked.”
“Maybe so, but we wouldn’t be able to destroy the bandit group.” Chief Bolton said.
“It is rumored that many of them are already hiding in the city. If we kill their leader without rounding them up, they would just cause more damage to the city. That’s why we have to get rid of every last one of them. That’s why we are making a big show of his execution.”
“You mean, to flush out the remnants,” said Fam.
“That’s right. The current leader is well-liked by his underlings. If we were to execute him, they would do everything in their power to save him. We’ll round them up there.”
It is true that it is more efficient to gather the bandits in one place and hit them all at once rather than going through the city and catch these hiding bandits one by one.
“However, the bandits are very skilled. If we go in with half-hearted effort, we may end up being the ones beaten.”
“That’s where we come in.”
Spinoza snorted with a belligerent expression on her face. She picked up her hammer on her back and swung it lightly.
“This is a good thing, isn’t it? I’m going to blow them all away.”
“If we let the bandits go unchecked, the people of the city will feel unease…… Let’s just round them up ourselves!”
“I have no objections to that.”
Everyone seemed motivated.
“…Then it’s settled.”
I nodded and said to Chief Bolton.
“We’ll take the job of guarding the penitentiary. We’ll make sure the leader of the bandits wouldn’t be freed by his underlings.”
“I will accompany you to the penitentiary on the day of execution. I’m counting on you guys to do a good job. Guard the leader of the bandits, and stop his rampaging underlings.|
This was a job that we could not fail.
We have to guard the leader of the bandits to prevent him from escaping. At the same time, we have to round up his underlings. We will be able to destroy the bandit group at tomorrow’s execution.
