Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 211
211angry leader (4)
“mister!!!!”
Erwen jumped out from the group of explorers and hugged her with one arm..
“thank god! I was very worried!!”
Huh, I never thought I'd meet him here..
Of course, I'm not saying it's bad..
I relaxed a little and checked my surroundings..
I looked, and there was her older sister, Daria, next to me..
‘No matter how you look at it, they are not all members of the same clan.…….’
At first, I wondered if it was the clan that Erwen was said to have joined as a mercenary..
But after looking at it, that doesn't seem to be the case..
Most people wear clan marks, but not all. Also, each clan mark is different..
Then, how on earth is this group formed?.
“Miss Erwen, she is?”
As the human woman, estimated to be in her early thirties, lowered her weapon and asked, Erwen finally relaxed her arms and turned away..
“Do not worry. This is someone I know! Oh, and with my sister too! That's right, sister?”
“…that's right. The identity is clear, so you don't have to worry about it being Noark's side..”
“It's good news to hear..”
The woman who listened to Daria's words ordered the explorers on guard to lower their weapons..
Hmm, is this woman the general manager here??
“nice to meet you I'm Versil Gowland, vice-captain of the Larrere Clan..”
“This is Bjorn, son of Yandel..”
“little vulcan……?”
I shrugged, and the woman looked at me with some kind of pleasure in her eyes..
“This is a really great person..”
A compliment that naturally elevates me.
If he were an ordinary barbarian, he would have raised his shoulders and swaggered here..
Is this the way a leader communicates??
“It's going to be amazing. I think that's actually what I should say..”
I answered briefly and stared at the woman..
What I just said wasn't just polite, it was true..
“As for the Larrere clan, I know it's a pretty big clan..”
10Although it was not a large clan, it was a clan that could be proudly called a large clan..
What is unique is that 80% of the clan members are women..
“He's the vice-captain there.…….”
I met a significant figure in an unexpected place..
However, I had no intention of having a friendly game..
“So what are you guys doing here??”
“Let me explain..”
As soon as the Lalère Clan's vice-captain, Bersil, finished speaking, he briefly explained the situation here..
When I heard it, it was a similar situation to ours..
As soon as they entered the labyrinth, they moved quickly to go to the second floor..
and…….
“The incident happened.”
To assess the situation, Bersil led the team back to the starting point..
However, the place was already no different from chaos..
So she began to gather strength in a makeshift way..
“The people gathered here are all people I met nearby. Your identity is certain..”
“Are you sure??”
“I don't know them all, but we are all close friends across a bridge. Unfortunately, we have completely ruled out cases where this method cannot be used, so you can rest assured..”
Yes, I guess they used that method because they don't trust the dog tags..
Just like Erwen vouched for me.
They were a group that vouched for each other and formed a minimum level of trust..
“Our goal is simple.”
Bersil, who explained the group, then presented the goals the group wants to pursue..
“Join forces to protect us. Finally, overcome the enemy and reach the safe zone..”
“By safe zone, do you mean the dark zone in the center??”
“Yes, it must be quick to hear that you know. Mr. Yandel, would you like to join us??”
Is it because I became the vice-captain of a popular clan??
It definitely feels like he's used to dealing with people, just from the way he speaks..
His personality also seems quite cautious..
‘If you become vice-captain, your skills will be considerable..’
After a short period of thought, I agreed to Bersil’s offer to recruit him..
“Good, good luck in the future.”
In a confusing situation where we don't know how the day will end.
I have a nest to stay in for a while.
***
“There is no need to stand guard, so take a break. I'll be leaving soon, I'll tell you then..”
I decided to be grateful for Versil's consideration..
Because I was already desperate for a break..
fog that obscures vision.
Battle with people, not monsters.
A chaotic situation that is difficult to predict even an inch ahead..
Physical fatigue is not only fatigue, but mental stress is enormous..
“What should I do, come here and rest?.”
The unfamiliar explorers seemed awkward, so they led their stiff-necked team members to an empty seat and sat down..
And just relax.
“But it went really well. Meeting people like this, there's no way you can just die.…….”
Was the tension relieved belatedly??
At first, my colleagues, who were busy being wary of their surroundings, looked relieved and enjoyed a short break..
It was that time.
“Uncle, you thought well. That vice-captain over there is really strong. Same goes for other people.”
Erwen, who had been next to her sister while we were talking, naturally came over and sat next to me..
“Anyway, I guess we are really meant to be. I was just thinking that I wanted to see you. But it really appeared! Hehehe.”
“Tsk.”
Einar and Misha, who usually had a negative view of Erwen, only frowned slightly and did not start an argument for no reason..
They know it too.
In a situation like this, how foolish it is to create trouble with personal feelings..
“But how do you two know each other? I heard that fairies and barbarians don't get along..”
Raven, who was meeting her for the first time, showed curiosity and joined the conversation..
“Oh, I didn't introduce myself. I am—.”
“i know! I often heard this from you. A really great wizard has joined the team.…….”
“…Mr. Yandel really said that.?”
Well, not that much.…….
I decided to think that Erwen was also living a social life and just watched without saying anything..
“My name is Erwen Fornacci di Tercia. That's right, Arua Raven.?”
“What is Mr. Just call me Raven.”
“Then please just call me Erwen..”
Erwen finished speaking in a friendly atmosphere and told the story of our meeting as if bragging..
Mr. Bear, whose back was against the wall, was also listening intently, pretending not to be curious about the relationship between me and this guy..
“The person we drank our first drink of return with was this pretty fairy... … . Yandel, the more I look at you, the more feminine you become..”
What do you say, this guy?.
“You said Mr. Urikfried, right? Hehe, thank you for watching.!”
“…call me abman.”
“Yes, Mr. Abman.!”
Erwen showed off her youngest personality and quickly made friends with the group..
Honestly, I was quite impressed..
“But how do you use this crossbow? I don't think an average person would be able to pull it because of the tension..”
“Oh, this? It's not that great. Should I give it a try??”
“Is that okay? Ugh… Wow! It's completely different from my bow..”
“Hehe, it had to be that way since I used the tendons of a troll..”
Did he have a good social life this far??
Doing something funny in front of your mother-in-law—.
‘Oh, maybe that's not wrong..’
Come to think of it, I said I was going to create a clan..
Of course, Raven and Uncle Bear are the top candidates for recruitment..
They may end up belonging to the same clan someday, so they probably decided that they needed to look good in advance..
Well, the other two seemed to hate me..
“Urak Burak. Lower your mouth. Is this a situation to laugh at?!!”
“…uh?”
Mr. Bear, who was hit by Einar for the first time in his life, froze in a daze..
But did he realize the situation too late??
Mr. Bear spit out something difficult to understand as if making excuses..
“iced coffee! Of course I dig cats.”
“yes? You almost suspected it! So just come here and take a look at my great sword. Even if you talk about bows, it's not fun.!”
“uh… Isn’t it fun??”
“Of course!!”
Einar drags Mr. Bear as if kidnapping him and makes him sit next to him..
It was a time when such a funny thing happened..
“Erwen.”
“Ah, sister.”
Daria, who had been watching us closely from a distance, approached us..
“I'm sorry I'm talking to you, but I have something to say..”
“Uh, with you?”
“huh.”
When he said he had something to say to me, he tried to get up, but Daria stopped him..
“I don't really need to rest..”
“okay? If that's the case. What are you trying to say??”
In response to my question, Daria stood awkwardly and stared at me. For some reason, he seemed uncomfortable dealing with me..
I soon found out why.
“You, level 5... He said he became an explorer?”
As far as I know, Daria was also a level 5 explorer, and that hasn't changed even now..
On the other hand, how was I??
I was a level 9 beginner at the time and grew into a level 5 explorer leading a team in just one year..
So it's bound to be awkward.
“however? Is that all you want to say??”
“…I have a suggestion.”
“Try it.”
“Why don't you come with us for a while??”
“in more detail.”
Daria continued speaking in a completely public voice..
A total of 7 teams, including us, came together for one purpose, but in the end, we were just strangers.?
In fact, it is said that most teams stick together with teams they are close to..
“If you agree, our two teams' formations will stay close together when we move. So that we can join forces right away when something happens.”
Wherever people gather, factions are bound to arise..
Daria was offering me an alliance..
“Not a bad offer..”
The offer itself was quite attractive..
Yes, if only one condition is met.
“But did you get permission from your leader??”
Daria is a member of the Blue Wall Clan Team 4 as a mercenary..
Of course, the team leader is one of the clan's executives..
Have we really finished talking??
“that man… … . don't worry. Because I can persuade. So the answer is?”
“good night.”
“Okay, then I'll come back later. Erwen, let’s go back together first..”
“Yes…….”
Afterwards, Daria led her younger brother back to where the team was, and I watched..
For some reason, I felt a strange feeling..
When I first met him, I treated him like a childish barbarian. I was treated like a fool around her younger brother..
But, I never thought I would get an offer like that first..
“I'll finish my personal maintenance soon and then I'll leave..”
After resting for a few more minutes, a departure notice came from Bersil. Oh, by the way, we also told you the formation that our team should stand in when moving, and it was the third position from the front..
Right behind was Erwen's team..
‘I feel like something happened to me.’
A structure in which each team follows each other as if playing a train game..
Of course, there are no complaints here.
Due to the nature of the Crystal Cave, it was natural for the formation to move in a line when moving, and it was Versil's team, the most powerful, that cleared the way at the forefront..
but…….
“I heard from Daria and Erwen. They call it Little Vulcan, right? Please take care of me.”
“Okay, I'll leave the rest to you..”
Why are we ahead of them?.
Is this really a coincidence??
‘That can't be possible.’
The third or fourth from the front may be similar, but it is a given that the front is more dangerous..
It's a minor detail, but it's true that we suffered a loss..
Raven seemed to think so too..
“Look, this feels a bit off..”
“huh? What part do you mean??”
“Jinhyeong. It can't continue like this, right? I think it would be better to alternate between front and back..”
In response to Raven's objection, the leader of Erwenne's team, short for short, gave a good-natured smile..
“Haha, aren't there a lot of ranged types on our side and a lot of close range types on your side? It's just a reasonable arrangement..”
“that—.”
“Aren't we located in the safest center to begin with? Who do you think it's thanks to??”
A sharp chin that cuts off Raven's words and firmly draws a line..
Even Raven, a rationalist, couldn't say anything..
“…….”
If it was really his credit to get this position, then he must have thought it was fair for us, who have done nothing, to stand in front..
Because we can actually say that we benefited from it..
but…….
‘A single team leader from a small or medium-sized clan can influence the vice-leader of a large clan.?’
Even just hearing about cancer sounds like bullshit..
need to watch more.
“Okay, let's end the story here and move on. Looks like the front has already started.”
Well, to urge you.
I put my doubts aside and moved forward..
plod, trudge.
And so the real journey began..
***
First of all, the journey itself was okay..
I ran into them by chance, and I thought it was just luck that Erwen was there to vouch for my identity..
“Vice leader! I'm a warlock!!”
“Turn off time. I'll take care of it soon..”
The combat power of the team that the vice-captain of a large clan belonged to was truly amazing..
‘It was a clan that was mainly active on the 7th floor..’
It was very convenient for us who followed behind as they paved the way for us from the front..
‘Is this what it feels like to ride a bus??’
In fact, if you exclude a few surprise attacks on side roads, you can count on one hand the number of times he wielded a mace..
The journey continued like that for about an hour..
“I have good news and bad news.”
Vice-captain Bersil stopped moving and spoke to us..
“The good news is that we're almost there. You can enter the dark zone in just 20 minutes by running..”
Yeah, I knew this too.
“What's the bad news??”
In response to an explorer's question, Bersil muttered as if he had no personal feelings..
“Not everyone can go together.”
A chilly silence began to cover the cave..
