72. punitive force(7)
Would you say it’s like Euphria? She had the entire 4-person military tent provided by the regular punitive force to herself. Although they say they share it with two other colleagues, most of the luggage seen seemed to belong to Euphria..
Well, it was obvious even without looking what the circumstances were. They must have been assigned to a military camp with students who treated them like maids, and then kicked them all out. It's none of her business to know that these guys are wandering around looking for a place to sleep while the rain is pouring down..
I'm 18 this year, and by Middle Earth's standards and Korea's standards, I'm a full-fledged adult, but there's no such thing as a bunch of middle schoolers doing this..
Anyway, the reason Euphria called me to her military camp was to arm me. In short, he asked me to serve as an armor attendant..
“Kkobung-no, that. Why do you have to ask me to do something that you can just ask your friends?…….”
“It was so messy outside that I couldn't find it. Why, I don't like it?”
Would you like it then??
Not only since I received the title of prince, but even before that, I have never served as someone else's servant. It's so amazing.
Euphria's face feels refreshed in proportion to the speed at which my expression decays. Being a bitch with a pure and innocent look is a feeling of disparity that is difficult to get used to..
“Don't be picky and help me out. I've never worn armor by myself. And if a student has shortcomings, it is not the teacher's role to make up for them.?”
“……Let's say so. So, where is the equipment??”
“It's there.”
“…….”
This lazy bastard hasn't unpacked any of his luggage. Just looking at it, it looks like the auxiliary soldiers left it there just as they moved it..
I'm starting to feel jealous, but I have to endure it. If I argue with him, I will only lose..
Just looking at this punitive force, there were many cases where the students themselves had the title of earl, so I wondered why they had to look at the margrave's nephew, but the situation was not that simple..
Euphria - no, it was because of the exquisite position occupied by the Drisir family to which she belonged..
In fact, Drisir is in a similar position to Garwin's Axodbrooke family in that they are a margrave family that defends the kingdom's northwestern border..
However, there was a critical difference: while Axodbrook had to deal with the Mittergeland Empire centered in the Highlands, Drisir bordered the 'Elmore River' and bordered the death marsh 'Asag'..
Asag is also a formidable demon, and although he suffers from the measles from time to time due to the powerful monsters that come out of it, it can be said that his situation is a hundred times better than keeping powerful electors in check..
2Looking at the War of the Blades a year ago, Duke Avilambus's army began to attack Drisir's territory after Axodbrook's territory had been half-razed to the ground..
Thanks to these circumstances, Drisir had a fairly strong army as a margrave family, but suffered less from military threats. In addition, due to geographical conditions, it was close to the great lords of the West as well as the North, and recently, it was strengthening its links with the center, that is, the royal family..
In short, Drisir was in a position to be courted by three of the five powers that controlled the kingdom. It was because of this background that Euphria was able to act as she pleases..
Although I showed my skills and gained the protection of Princess Eadina, I established myself in the royal university, but I was only a teacher. This means that if I have to fight Euphria at large, I will be the only one who will suffer bloodshed..
In the end, I had no choice but to obey her orders..
While I was unpacking, selecting the equipment, and putting it away, Euphria untied her sword belt and threw away her clothes. And she was wearing only a thin sleeveless top and short shorts, with her messy hair tied up..
“The doublet is okay, give me the vest first..”
“……Ah, yes.”
Looking at her playful eyes, it seemed like she wanted me to blush, but I was just annoyed. I've seen and experienced too much to be embarrassed just because I saw a woman's body..
“Sheesh. It's not fun.”
Euphria grumbled softly at my lack of response, then put on a velvet vest and then put on light leather pants. Then, as I was putting on the vambrace sleeves, a question suddenly occurred to me..
“But why are you suddenly arming yourself? The person who was wearing only plain clothes the whole time.”
“Because I also have a sense of humor..”
“If you say it's a touch.”
“Should I say that I feel like I will have to go through the humiliation of running out of the tent naked in the middle of the night... … . You know what I mean.?”
Euphria sat down on a crude wooden chair and tapped her foot towards me. I sighed and put Drake's leather boots on her feet..
“Speaking of which, I didn't pick up anything from the meeting.?”
“What are you talking about??”
“How is the situation now? Lionel, that gangster, and idiots like Girion and Olaz all seemed to have shrunk their balls..”
“……Where on earth did you learn that expression??”
After tying the leash tightly and pushing the knot into the boot, I looked up at Euphria in bewilderment. She asked the question again, completely ignoring my gaze..
“There's no way they would have been so scared just because they were on alert. I guess the damage from regular punitive forces is much greater than expected.?”
“Yeah, whatever.…….”
Perhaps because she is the daughter of a prestigious samurai family, she has her own feelings about it..
I obediently informed them of the contents of the leadership meeting. Euphria would be able to obtain that much information even without going through me..
“Uhmmm. In short, it is a situation that cannot be removed or put in.?”
“So to speak, yes.”
“I think I understand why everyone was so frozen... … . How about you, teacher? I think staying here is the right decision.?”
I shrugged, taking turns tightening the buckles on her shins..
“It's already evening and the weather is rough, isn't it? It's better not to move for now..”
“If the day is bright and the rain stops?”
“Well, you have to judge that based on the situation at the time..”
“That's irresponsible..”
“Isn't the original plan to be the first to die on the battlefield? For now, it would be best to stick to the necessary measures immediately..”
“hmm.”
Euphria nodded as if it was plausible and stood up. Then, I moved my body around to check the state of my armor..
She was dressed in plate armor on her torso, shoulders, forearms, and shins. Add in the helmet and gloves that do not need to be worn in advance, and more than half of your body is protected..
However, there were gaps here and there, such as in the groin area and thighs, where even the bare skin of the upper arms was slightly exposed and thin leather pants were all, giving a light impression compared to a typical knight's plate armor set..
In reality, it was lighter than it looked, so I thought it would be about 8 or 9 kg if all parts were added together. This is because each piece of sheet metal was enchanted and was of the highest quality, as expected from the great family's forbidden jade leaf..
Even Euphria's magic tools weren't all armor..
‘I had already seen the ‘Ring of the Sidewalk’ before, and the longsword I had prepared for the actual battle was also a magic sword with a blue-black light flowing through the scabbard. The helmet was in the form of a bassinet with a chain draping and did not block the view, and the leather pouch attached to the waist was filled with various magic potions and scrolls..
The most impressive item among them was the gauntlet on his left hand. After listening to Euphria's explanation, it was a rare magic tool that could use twenty 'Magic Bullet' spells and five 'Spear of Power' spells every week..
Both were very familiar spells to me. The 'star bullets' that Heyla fired using the 'Milky Way Gloves' were a type of magic bullets, and the Spear of Power was a spell mainly used by the Empire's destruction masters, so I had experience getting hit several times..
In any case, Euphria's equipment was comparable to that of any great lord. I think that out of the entire student punitive force, there are probably around five people who are this armed..
Of course, the other members - especially the noble students - were also equipped with luxury equipment and would probably have one or two magic tools..
I had thought about it before, but in terms of individual combat power alone, the student punitive force seemed to be comparable to any other unit in Middle Earth. This is a noble unit with top-notch skills and equipment. Perhaps it could be compared to the Royal Guard of Milan or the Holy Centurion of Ruilix II..
Of course, this only refers to the combat power of an individual unit, and the combat power and mission performance ability of a unit unit would have been at a level that could not be compared.…….
“Our teacher, your skills are not bad. This seems familiar?”
“yes? Oh, that can't be right. This is the first time in my life that I have served someone..”
“Uhm, yeah?”
Euphria, who lightly turned her shoulders and waist, nodded with a satisfied expression. And he looked back at me with a grin..
“How do you feel reassured??”
“Yeah, well… … . But do you really want to go to bed dressed like that??”
“It can't be helped. My back hurts and the smell of oil is annoying... … . Looking at the atmosphere, I think it would be comfortable to stay like this for a few days..”
“If that's the case.”
I was planning on ending the conversation and leaving the camp, but it seemed like she had no intention of letting me go just yet..
“It's raining a lot. Where should I go??”
“As I said before, I have some business to attend to.-”
“So what exactly is the matter? Talk to me, I'll find someone to run errands for you..”
In response to Euphria's persistent questioning, I quickly turned my head and came up with an excuse..
“Well, first of all, I have to find words. I have to unpack too.-”
“If that's the case, I've taken care of it..”
“……yes?”
“This is the horse the teacher rode. I took down the saddle and left it to the soldiers..”
“Why did Euphria do that?.”
“It looks like he's busy being called here and there. Why, I have a problem?”
“No, whatever. Rather than a problem.”
“That's it then. Quickly unpack first..”
She pointed to the corner of the military tent with her chin. Now I see that a familiar saddle bag has been placed neatly among Euphria's luggage..
I unconsciously opened my mouth and looked at her..
“By the way, you don’t mean to unpack here.?”
“That's right.”
“……why me?”
“Teachers don't need to take a good rest either..”
“I don't think that can happen here..”
Euphria's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she didn't like my response..
“Why are you being so picky today? Don't talk nonsense, just unpack. They say I will protect you.”
“Who is protecting whom??”
“I am a teacher.”
“Indeed. You're kidding.?”
When I laughed openly, her expression became more distorted..
“It's not okay to feel proud just because you've won a few times in class. I'm fully armed now.”
I was about to laugh at her, but when I saw her serious expression, I waved my hand away..
“……Hey, it's done..”
“What the heck... … . Where are you going? Teacher, I'm not finished talking yet.!”
Carrying my saddlebags, I left the camp, leaving behind Euphria's nervous voice..
