Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 353
353Tuesday Dark Continent (4)
“Lehen! Here's the water!”
“Ah, thank you.”
While the explorers, including myself, took a break by quenching our thirst with water or alcohol, members of the royal family walked around the inside of the ship and conducted a personnel inspection..
and…….
“After disembarking, the hull will be de-summoned immediately, so take care of it without leaving any items behind.!”
After the inspection was over, under military control, we transferred to small boats one by one and moved to the water..
At the water's edge, the troops who had already disembarked were standing in orderly rows..
Well, at least it can be said to be a mess compared to modern times where people walk with their left feet aligned..
“Fortunately, it looks like he wasn't waiting here or anything..”
“It seems like they are also taking precautions to completely avoid any engagement between the main unit and the main unit..”
“Well, if we get hit hard, it will be harder to lose with this army..”
Anyway, as I waited according to the control, it wasn't long before the leader started marching..
Of course, we didn't follow.
That's the third-class ship we rode today.
On paper, the mission of this ship, called the 3-21 Line, is to escort the 3rd Magic Corps..
Unfortunately, this magic corps belongs to the 3rd Corps and its main mission is to secure the retreat route..
To put it simply, once the main force leaves, the role in this war is to build a garrison here and protect it..
“now! Let's build the barracks first.!”
After all the remaining ships of the 3rd Corps disembarked, the time to build the position began in earnest..
The explorers set up barracks where they had received supplies, and the wizards were also busy moving around and drawing various magic circles..
How long has it been like that?.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Thanks to the magic, the deafening sound of the waterfall became much quieter, and the fog that obscured my vision cleared away..
“Huh, I guess I'll buy it now.”
“Everyone, please eat some of this and take a break! Barracks assignment and mission announcements will be made soon.!”
As the construction of the garrison was roughly completed, the barracks where we would stay in the future were also allocated..
It was a six-person barracks located in the eastern part around the lake..
Even though it was under military control, the three of us were not separated due to the custom of grouping together team members.…….
“Haha, let’s exchange greetings. We will be working in the same group from now on..”
Three characters I’ve never seen before have been added..
It is said that not only do they share the barracks, but they also have to move into the same group when standing guard or going out on patrol.…….
‘Since there are three of us, it ended up like this..’
Whether it’s a clan or a team, 5 people… No, after the binding magic was updated, 6 people are the minimum unit..
But since our numbers don't match the three, we did automatic matching..
‘It looks like it's not completely automatic..’
I saw a man naturally leading the conversation with a friendly smile on his face..
Although he wears a stylish uniform and even has a sword at his waist, he is a wizard. The emblem of the Magic Corps on the chest proves this..
“Oh, by the way, you haven’t said hello to me yet. My name is Alex Halo, Deputy Chief of the 3rd Magic Army..”
“Deputy storage?”
I muttered softly, and Amelia whispered in my ear..
“It means assistant to the vice-captain..”
Oh, so he's Raven's right hand man.?
It's probably obvious why he sent his right arm here..
we… No, more precisely, Erwen’s control and surveillance..
“The six people assigned to the barracks above will belong to Group 3-17 and perform various missions, and as the leader, I will help you.—”
“captain? Whoever you like?”
When Erwen asked again without hiding his displeasure, a crack appeared in the man's smile..
“haha… I am aware that there may be dissatisfaction with that part. Still, it’s an order from superiors.—”
“He's smiling and pretending to be relaxed, but he's quite nervous..”
“……yes?”
“Why am I reluctant??”
The man flinched for a moment at that question, then smiled and shook his head..
“…Could that be possible? Wouldn't you know it if you thought it was more reassuring?.”
Anyone could see that it was a polite thing to say..
If you really thought that way, there would be no reason to avoid Erwen's staring gaze..
“Okay, stop it..”
I quickly intervened because I knew that the man was just following orders anyway..
“But, the three of us is enough.…….”
“Isn’t it good to have a lot of people?.”
“Still, I'm a leader…….”
“A person in the military could be instigating this, what are you so disgusted with??”
“……all right. I'll stop.”
Erwen looked at me and pursed his lips..
But was that impressive?.
Only then did the man turn his gaze to me..
“That one…….”
“Lehen Schuitz.”
“Ah, yes… I know. nice to meet you The person next to me is Emily Raines.?”
“okay.”
The man who came up to me and greeted me also introduced the other two who were watching the situation from afar..
“These people here were on the third-class ship that sank on the way. Fortunately, the rescue was successful, but unfortunately, we were not able to save other colleagues as well..”
For some reason, it doesn't seem like two people were taken from another team..
There was a reason for that here..
When our attention shifted to the other two people, they introduced themselves a little nervously..
“It is an honor to meet you, Hyeolryeonghu. Oh, of course, the colleagues next to me. My name is Lykion Elt, a level 5 explorer..”
First impression wasn't bad.
First of all, he seems to be polite, and judging from the fact that he stayed still until we gave him time to introduce himself, he seems to have quite a bit of insight..
5If it's a grade, one person will do his or her share..
Besides, the situation I'm in is pretty bad.…….
“We will do our best to avoid any inconvenience! Hey, it's Hans Caesar..”
“what……?”
When I made a sound without realizing it, the guy kindly revealed his name one more time..
“This is Hans Caesar.!”
Are you kidding??
***
I thought about it for a moment.
So, what happened the last time I saw Hans??
I remembered it right away.
Hans J, whom I met on Farune Island, was a traitor..
and…….
‘After meeting that guy, I was sucked into the past..’
I spent half a year there, and when I returned, two years and six months had passed in my original time zone..
No, that's all.?
Not only was my colleagues scattered, but I was also branded as an evil spirit..
“haha…….”
When I let out a laugh, Hans K tilted his head and asked..
“excuse me… why are you like this?”
There was no reason for me to reply by mixing up my words..
If you do that, you'll just get negativity for no reason..
“Erwen.”
“yes, go ahead.”
“You said earlier that just the three of us was enough.?”
“It was like that.”
Yeah, that's right.
“Write it…….”
I was truly concerned..
Even if you just say one word to turn everything over, Erwen will cry out with all his might and tear Joe to pieces..
but…….
‘If that were the case, this news would have reached Raven..’
That fact bothers me.
Of course, Raven is a colleague who knows about my hatred of Hans. He may grow suspicious of me after hearing the details..
‘Oh, but then it just doesn't seem like it was kicked out because of the name.?’
When I think about it, that’s also true.
Okay, I decided..
“They're trash..”
“…yes?”
“They said that having guys like you would only hold us back..”
As cold words of contempt poured out of my mouth, both of their expressions hardened..
I guess neither Erwen nor I ever dreamed that I would say something like this..
“haha… What does that mean? Shuitz, didn’t you just say a little while ago that it would be better if there were more people?.”
Oh, that's right.
“I changed my mind.”
Hans, this is such a serious matter..
When we soon asked that those two be excluded or that we be excluded, the man looked embarrassed..
but…….
“This is ridiculous. It's inside her skirt and she thinks she's something?”
“Okay, we'll go out. There is no reason to stay together while being treated with such humiliation. Instead, please make it clear to the military that this is the cause, not us..”
As if my words had really hurt their pride, they declared their withdrawal and walked out of the barracks..
Phew, this solves one problem.—
“How dare you say something like that? Should I follow you??”
“Okay, don't mix words..”
“all right!”
Anyway, as we were talking like that, I saw Raven's right hand man, Alex, staring at me with disgust..
Oh, of course, she must have heard Raven's misunderstanding..
At first, I thought he was okay, but this must have made Seol look like a pathetic bastard who just trusted in the power of others..
“So what do you do now? The group that should have been six people ended up being four people..”
“……First, I will report to the vice-captain and then let you know how I will be treated..”
“If that's the case.”
Soon, Alex left to tell me about this situation, and Erwen carefully asked me a question..
“But why did you do that all of a sudden??”
“Wasn’t that guy’s name earlier Hans?.”
“…Why Hans??”
Oh, he doesn't know about my Hans Jinx?
Hmm, now that I think about it, I don’t think I remember telling you.…….
As I was about to say something, Amelia smiled and opened her mouth instead of me..
“Could it be that he didn't even know that he was this guy's colleague?.”
“……So you know?”
“Everyone knows.”
Amelia shrugged and briefly explained my Hans Jinx..
In his case, he knew the weight of that name because of the incident where he called me ‘Lee Hans’..
However, was Erwen upset that only he did not know?.
“hans…….”
He chanted the name in a truly murderous voice and clenched his fist as if making a promise..
“Come to think of it, Hans Aulog, the traitor on Farune Island, was also named Hans. sorry. I will never forget from now on.”
“uh… Yeah, that's right.”
I thought that every Hans I encountered like this would put an arrow between the eyes, but I decided not to pay too much attention to it..
So what happens? It’s Hans anyway..
If you look for it, you will definitely find something guilty..
‘The problem is, I've already met Hans.…….’
I quickly kicked him out of the group, but he stayed in the same room with Hans K for too long..
The room was not even well ventilated..
And considering that we are now in the middle of a battlefield on the 7th floor,…….
“Man, my hands are shaking.…….”
Oh, this is really driving me crazy..
***
What on earth is about to explode in the future?.
When I couldn't rest comfortably due to such anxiety and my hands were shaking..
“Your treatment has been decided.”
Alex came back and told us what to do about our Joe problem..
Nothing much has changed.
The group decided to just go with four people, and he would take on the role of leader, which was the same as before..
but…….
“Afterwards, everyone… No, we will not be on external patrol or sentry duties, but will be guarding key personnel..”
The group's mission was changed to the role of security guard for Raven, vice-captain of the 3rd Magic Army..
Of course, there was no problem up to this point..
Now that our leader, Uncle Kyle, has volunteered to join the 1st Corps' special forces, Raven can actually be said to be the most important person in our unit..
I guess the reason he called me as a security guard was just to keep me close by and keep an eye on me before something happens.…….
Yeah, no problems up to this point..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The sound of a magic cannon is heard from somewhere..
Bleep-! Bleep-! Beep-!
If only the installed alarm magic hadn't activated and rang throughout the garrison..
“It's a surprise attack, a surprise attack.!!”
“Everyone ready for battle!!”
This happened less than two hours after I met Hans K..
