Chapter 119

Chapter 23 Survivors (1)

West of Robole Castle, the entrance to the Lacriole Valley leading to Calom Castle.

There were so many barracks that it was difficult to capture them at a glance.

‘The 4th Battalion belonging to the 2nd Regiment, 2nd Division, 5th Corps, 1st Army Headquarters in charge of the central part of the Church Army.’

It was the barracks of the battalion commanded by Baron Hesel Bolbita.

There, those wearing armor with the World Tree crest on them were busy moving with firm expressions on their faces.

“Move quickly!”

“There is an isolated troop in Devlan Valley!”

“Damn it, I think we should set up a rescue team. Report to the battalion commander first!”

“Squad leader! The strangers have arrived with replenishment supplies, what shall we do?”

“You said you came already? hmm… … Hey, strangers. I need to check the quantity, so wait a minute. Call Sir Anata.”

Despite the somewhat cluttered and congested atmosphere.

“Ah, we have arrived.”

“There was a valley right next to it, right? Are you going to go with me?”

“I’ll start by looking at it and then move on.”

After four days of itinerary, we arrived at our destination and relaxed in our own way.

‘It’s definitely hard to continue camping in an area that hasn’t been cleaned up.’

This schedule was a supply convoy mission in which other players besides our party participated.

In a situation with a lot of people, setting up a night watch is more efficient, so I didn’t use barrier stones.

Because of that, my nerves were on edge for the entire four days.

‘Even while sleeping, I woke up a couple of times to check the map.’

In addition, there was only a cheap blanket spread on the cold dirt floor.

If you are not tired in this situation, you must be a superman.

I kneaded my shoulders and scanned the cluttered barracks.

Every time I turned my head, the cognitive impairment magic tool in my ear made a jingling noise.

Then, striding towards me, I met eyes with the person who was walking towards me.

One with silver hair and one with brown hair, it was silver hair that raised the question.

“Who is in charge?”

Raising my hand, I took out the paper that I had kept in my safe for four days and handed it over.

Food materials, emergency medicine, bandages, weapons, etc. for the 500 people belonging to the 4th Battalion.

It was a document that recorded the item and quantity of the goods brought this time.

The silver-haired woman who received the paper said to me for a handshake.

“This is Anata Sermangel, Chief Executive Officer.”

“This is K.”

The hand holding it trembled slightly, but only for a moment.

Anata continued to speak with a calm expression.

“Let’s start by checking the quantity.”

“I see.”

“Others follow this article, I’ll assign you a barracks.”

At Anata’s words, the players who participated in the escort mission with me began to move.

Since they haven’t been able to wash properly for four days, they must be in desperate need of a break.

“Brother, are we going first?”

“okay.”

“I’ll set you up, take care of it quickly and come.”

Kim Yul and Yang Tae-ho also left first, and I and Anata headed toward the cart pulled by the horses.

And while Anata was checking the quantity, she helped him by the side.

Because my whole body was tired, I wanted to finish it quickly and rest.

‘It’s not like there was anything particularly difficult.’

For me with a map, the mission to transport supplies was very easy.

Because you can completely eliminate unnecessary battles and go on a safe path avoiding monsters.

However, in terms of preference, it was close to dislike.

You have to keep checking that the number of documents sent by the headquarters is not different from the number of real things, and you have to manage the crops so that they don’t rot.

It was not a pleasant mission because there were many things to worry about.

‘Still, it gives a lot of contribution.’

There are more things to worry about than simple hunting, but looking at the results of the mission, it wasn’t bad.

MISSION

[Sub Scenario: Material Convoy]

Convoy supplies to the 4th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the 5th Corps of the 1st Army Headquarters in charge of the central part of the Church Army, Baron Hezel Volbita’s unit.

[compensation]

• Differential payment of 200~300 contribution to the main scenario

‘The maximum for hunting trash mobs is 50.’

The maximum convoy of goods is 300, a whopping 6 times difference.

If it was only natural that the players would start focusing on convoy missions, it would be natural.

Of course, the escort mission had less magic power to absorb compared to hunting at an angle.

However, out of the two options, magic power and contribution, the most important thing right now was the latter.

When the main scenario mission is over, you have to be careful to attend the victory ceremony.

‘The only way to absorb mana is to spend time separately.’

The time when I was organizing my thoughts by myself.

“Kay of Palao.”

While checking the ingredients on the cart, Anata opened her mouth.

“Your name is famous among the Gentiles.”

It seems that the things he has been through since he came to the central region are about to repeat themselves.

Pick, I laughed lightly and looked back at Anata and said.

“I’m sure it’s not only famous among strangers.”

Literally, my name is well known among the players as well as the Bihars.

“… … Doesn’t fame seem to please you?”

Anata looked at me while pretending not to.

The intent was to observe my reaction.

Seeing that, I was certain. If I stay still like this, I will secretly bring up the topic of transfer.

The only way to prevent such a thing from happening is to show it openly.

“I get annoyed when you bring up the topic of transfer whenever you have a chance.”

If you were going to say the same thing, I meant it was a waste of time.

“… … Right.”

Fortunately, this time it was a guy who could communicate.

‘The guy I met before we left was a wall window.’

There was a guy who chased after me, praising the Temoria Church and urging me to transfer.

If he had followed him outside the castle, he would have been so irritating that he would want to swipe away in an empty place.

On the other hand, Anata seemed to have minimal notice.

Maybe if you see me withdrawing my feet as soon as I show a sign of discomfort.

Thanks to this, I was able to finish checking the quantity quickly without being asked to transfer.

“congratulations! MISSION – Sub-scenario: Convoy of supplies succeeded.”

「As a success reward, 300 contribution to the main scenario is provided.」

After confirming that the clear message had popped up, I moved to my seat following the soldier Anata had attached to me.

The path to the barracks assigned to players, even within the barracks.

“uh?”

“Awesome, Kayda.”

“Your name is Kay? really?”

“Right, I saw it in Vicheta.”

“The equipment is great. What’s that on your back?”

“I heard you have a very fierce personality.”

“Hey, is that person over there named Kei?”

“Didn’t you say you were Asian?”

The whispers of the players were heard.

Judging by their unfamiliar faces, they are not the ones who arrived while escorting supplies with me this time.

‘They seem to be the people who were cleaning up the rubbish mobs around them.’

There are dozens of sub-scenarios derived from Act 3 of the main scenario.

Although the most mission is to deal with rubbish mobs to support the activities of the main unit.

Among them, there are various types of production missions that support weapon manufacturing.

Before the escort mission, me and my party members also did that mission.

And while the mission is in progress, if there is a barracks nearby, it is possible to entrust one’s own safety.

That would be the case with those who recognize me now and whisper.

“Tsk.”

I fiddled with an earring enchanted with cognitive impairment.

I really want to know how I would have gotten around if it hadn’t been for this.

How long did you walk past the continuous gaze?

I was able to reach Barrack 53, which Kim Yul informed me of through the party chat.

As I walked through the cloth at the entrance and went inside, I saw a quite familiar sight.

Kim Yul is lying on the bed with his shirt off.

And Yang Tae-ho, who is reading a small book sitting on a bed one block away from Kim Yul.

The gazes of the two people, who had been giving off an awkward atmosphere without looking at each other, caught me at once.

“I thought it was time to come when the clear message popped up. Come on in.”

“yes.”

“We washed everything. I put water on it, so wash your brother too.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I settled down on an empty bed between the two of them.

It was something I got used to in a few days. It was hard to say that the relationship between the party members I chose was good.

‘Taeho seemed to be trying to get along well with Kim Yul.’

Kim Yul strangely sharpened his blade.

Because that was repeated, Yang Tae-ho also stopped trying to get closer.

‘If it was enough to cause a dispute, I would have said the same thing.’

Kim Yul never crossed the line beyond the limit.

Given the circumstances, it was ambiguous for me to intervene between the two of them and tell them to get along.

‘If I had to say it, it would be easier to be on good terms.’

Even if it’s not, there’s no problem as long as you do your part well in a combat situation.

Because each person has a tendency, and there are likes and dislikes.

There are definitely times when peer relationships that keep a reasonable distance are better.

That’s why I didn’t mean to force the two of them to be friendly.

After unpacking all my equipment, I went back to the back of the barracks, leaving the two of us behind.

There, Kim Yul washed away the dirt and the monster’s blood with the cold water he had prepared in advance.

I brushed my wet hair and went back inside as the sun began to set.

Since the land is high, the remaining sun will be set soon.

At that time, Kim Yul, who had stretched himself while lying down, asked.

“Do you want to start with distribution? Or rice?”

“From rice.”

“I heard that the food is served in the empty lot next door. It’s easy to make ends meet with what you have. Cup noodles, protein bars, sausages… … A lot of this and that.”

“Save Earth Food.”

You don’t know when you’ll have to camp again, but you don’t have to waste your preserves.

“Then how about food? Shall I go and get it?”

“What are you carrying and going back and forth?”

Anyway, after eating a meal with the food distributed in the barracks, you have to wash your personal tableware in the water.

Rather than going back and forth between the vacant lot and the barracks, it is better to simply settle the matter at the place where the food is served.

“Let’s just go and eat.”

There are people to meet there, and I put on my shoes and got ready to go out.

“okay!”

Kim Yul also jumped up from the bed and put on a jacket.

“What will your brother do?”

“Even if it wasn’t so, I was getting hungry, so I went together.”

The three men are going to eat together, hahahahahoho, it must be strange to talk about fun.

As we headed to the clearing where food was being served without much conversation, those who had arrived one step ahead of us were standing in a row in front of a huge pot.

Waiting for a while while receiving the gaze of the players gathering one by one.

We were given thin soup, dried meat, and beef jerky in wooden bowls from a general store.

It’s not enough, but if you add the hard bread sold at the store, you can fill your stomach.

Around the time we sat down on a rock near the restaurant and started eating.

“Kay, you are here.”

I looked up at the sound of calling me, and I saw a familiar face.

“Sir Jerome.”

I immediately got up from my seat and held out my hand.

The name of the man who kindly held my hand was Jerome Hazel.

He was a faithful follower of Palao and an aide to Baron Hesel Volbita, commander of the 4th Battalion.

He is also a knight who has shared the joys and sorrows of Alio, who is in charge of guarding the Palao Temple in Harbon, since his days as a servant.

It was also through Alio’s introduction that I met Jerome.

“You have worked hard to come this far. How have you been?”

“What is that? I was very worried because you said you went to a dangerous place. I am relieved to see that you are safe.”

“hahahahaha, I’ve lived on kabobs my whole life, and this is enough. Anyway, who are these people?”

“This is my team.”

“Ahh.”

After a light greeting and shouting, Jerome and I moved to a less popular place.

One of the reasons I ate here in the first place was to meet him.

So, without further delay, the matter was brought out.

“How about the baron?”

“Not yet.”

I clicked my tongue inwardly at Jerome’s answer that followed.

‘Tsk, he’s filthy indecisive.’

He expressed regret at the determination of Baron Hezel Bolbita, who did not even know his face.

It’s been five days since I poke him through Jerome, and I’m still thinking about it.
