Eastern Mountain Front
‘That’s what Benting will take care of. Let’s focus on now.’
Hyunjoon brushed off his thoughts. He had no time to worry about such things when he had to meet the princess. Then Hyun-joon flinched at what he suddenly realized.
Hyeon-joon was guided to one of the barracks by Gallion and asked Rahansen sneakily as he unpacked his things.
“La Hansen.”
“Something?”
“What are the names of the princess and the marquis?”
Lahansen glanced around. Inside, there was contempt and pathetic feelings that he couldn’t hide, and self-condemnation for himself who had come this far following such an idiot.
“That expression really hurts me, so can you please stop?”
“… … The princess is Wilhelmina Lautsharon, and the marquis is Leopold Benting.”
“Yeah, you don’t know how lucky I am to have you.”
Hyeonjun stroked Lahansen’s hair, and Lahansen swatted his hand away.
“Because I’m begging you, do it well.”
“Do you know how to do it well?”
“Isn’t it because it shows you’re not doing well?”
Hyeon-jun quickly tousled La Hansen’s grunting hair and backed away. Lahansen sighed and let out a deep sigh.
“Gunther, did you know?”
“Of course I knew.”
“Isn’t this guy messing around with this?”
“I’m not you, don’t you know?”
“Then tell me.”
“Rain, bilhe…”
“Didn’t you learn to bleed if you get caught hitting this bastard?”
As Hyeonjun and Gunther quarreled, La Hansen let out a deep sigh and shook his head. I need to sort out my luggage.
“Jun, you’re a noble now too. Can I treat you like this?”

Then, Cain carefully brought up the story. Even though they are the only ones in the barracks, Hyeon-jun is now a nobleman. It’s not a position that dares to treat mercenaries like this.
I hadn’t bothered to bring it up in the meantime, but as expected, when I brought it up like this, everyone took a peek at it. Even if you know that Hyun-joon isn’t that kind of person, you can’t help but be a little concerned. They are people who have lived their entire lives in this place where the walls of their social status are strictly blocked. It is different from Hyun-joon who lived in modern Korea.
“Of course not! I won’t be walking around from now on, so come two by two and carry me on your back!”
“Bastard!”
At Hyeonjun’s joke, Gunther chuckled and ran at it. Hyeonjun avoided it, pushed Gunther away, and said with a grin.
“Who’s to say we’re here? To the others, it’s Turaion’s Jun, but to you, it’s just Kang Hyeon-jun. Got it?”
“It’s just Jun, what Kang?”
“Anyway, yes.”
Everyone giggled at Hyunjoon’s words. I pretended not to, but the relief was evident.
“Still, you have to decide on the correct title.”
Everyone nodded their heads at that stern word. This was because during the few days leading up to the front line, everyone didn’t know what to call Hyeon-jun, so they called him Captain, Jun, Captain Jun, Captain, etc. at Jung-gu Heating.
If he had been knighted, he would have been called Sir Jun, but Hyeon-jun has not yet received any title.
“Then let’s just say it’s a semi-captain. Gunther says it’s Captain Gunter.”
“Sweet, the picture I’m captaining now is also weird, isn’t it?”
“Don’t do it if you don’t like it.”
“Oh, damn it.”
That’s what they say, but it’s natural for Jun and Gunther to be co-captains. It was Gunther’s mercenary corps in the first place, and Gunther was always in command. Hyeonjun was the leader of the entire group, and the nominal leader of the mercenaries. It’s a little complicated and ambiguous, but it’s just right to be a co-leader.
“But if you do well, you can become the captain of the Turaion mercenary group or the commander of the Turaion privates.”
“hehehehe, yes… the man who had nothing came all the way here.”
Seeing Gunther clenching his fists as he spoke, Hyeonjun grinned.
“Before that, what should I do with that bandit-like face? Or just wear a helmet with a visor.”
“Jun, don’t tease me about what you look like. It’s not something Captain Gunther can do.”
At the words of Hyeon-jun and the mercenaries, Gunther grinded his teeth and said to the mercenaries.
“Are you guys different? If I’m a bandit, you guys look like bandit henchmen.”
“Still, he’s different from Captain Gunther.”
Seeing that filthy look, La Hansen clicked his tongue. Growing up healthy and well-fed as a squire, La Hansen was a handsome boy with soft brown hair and eyes, so the mercenaries who saw him rushed at him, tousled his hair, pinched his cheeks, and made a fuss.
“evil! stop!”
“Ugh, I really want to bite my cute little boy to death.”
Seeing that, Hyeonjun shook his head, then felt a sign approaching and said,
“Someone is coming.”
The mercenaries quickly retreated and raised La Hansen. Annoyed to the tip of his head, but holding back his gaze for the time being, La Hansen tidied up his clothes and hair.
A voice was heard along with a knock.
“June, Sir Gallion is looking for a mercenary.”
“i get it.”
It is the seed of Gallion. Hyunjoon immediately opened the door. Galion’s servant bowed to Hyeon-jun and moved on. Hyeonjun and the mercenaries all followed suit.
“His Highness has moved west to inspect.”
“Does the mercenary corps follow suit?”
“hahahaha, no. Please fight here as a mercenary until Your Highness returns.”
“All right.”
the desired sea. Since you are hired as a mercenary, you will receive money, and you will get balls and karma by killing monsters. Hyeonjun thought so and laughed inwardly.
‘Looking at it like this, nothing has changed since my adventurer days.’
Gallion personally guided them and introduced them to the camp. There was everything from the tavern to the smithy. It’s safe to say that it’s just a village. And after being delivered in detail about the time and mission to be put into the front, the mercenary corps returned to their assigned barracks.
“For now, let’s build the ball if possible.”
“okay. Oh, I think I should go to a pub in the evening.”
“You want to drink?”
“No, if there’s a pub, I’ll have to go. Shouldn’t I check the atmosphere?”
Hyeonjun nodded at Gunther’s words.
Certainly, even in Red Forest Village, Gunther had obtained information through the tavern. Since the barracks consisted of one long room, everyone sat around and talked. Then, a bell rang outside.
“It must be evening.”
At Gunther’s words, everyone got up and left the barracks.
Food is being served in the middle of the military camp, and soldiers and mercenaries are standing in line. The June & Gunter mercenaries also lined up to receive their meals.
Both the soldiers and mercenaries glanced at them and giggled. He raised the banner of Benting and came with a knight. There will be no one who doesn’t know in the military camp where they are already staying.
But they don’t come to contact me. Hyun-joon thought in his heart that a few people would come and say hello or even give a sh*t, but that quiet reaction let steam leak.
“There is no access.”
“I came here with the flag of Benting, but I can’t f*cking do it.”
That’s right. Since he came there with a knight, he must have thought that it might have something to do with the nobility.
The June & Gunter mercenaries took their meals and sat down. Sausage grilled in a hearty stew full of ingredients, a little hard but savory bread. There is no shortage. It means you’re pouring money like crazy.
As they took their seats and sat around them, their eyes drew even more.
“… What’s wrong with me?”
“Did you know that now?”
Gunther whispered at Hyeonjun’s words. It was because I couldn’t speak as usual because of the gaze of others.
Like Hyeon-jun said, most of them were whispering while watching him. Living in a different world isn’t even a day or two, and there aren’t any people who give a sh*t about how they look, but are they rejecting them because of their looks? It’s a little bit to think like that… strange
Hyeon-joon tore up the hard bread and put it in the stew, focusing on the whispers of the others.
“It looks like a commander, but he eats with the soldiers.”
Hyunjoon smiled. It was like that.
“Hey, he looks like a commander, but he thinks it’s strange that he’s eating with you guys.”
“Ah, really. Nobles don’t get sick with soldiers.”
“He cares about everything.”
“It’s not that simple.”
Hyeon-jun was whispering with Gunther, but La Hansen suddenly spoke up.
Everyone opened their eyes and looked at him. It is because La Hansen is raising Hyeon-jun. He said that he raised his voice in consideration of the eyes and ears of others, but unlike the other mercenaries who hesitated a little, he acted as if he had to.
“Considering the authority of the nobility, it’s better to have a separate meal next time.”
Those who had been listening intently to his words turned their heads in surprise.
He had a good physique and was wearing a very luxurious breastplate and long sword around his waist. It was because he thought that noble blue bloods would not sit down and eat with lowly commoners.
Of course, there are nobles and knights who get along well with soldiers and drink alcohol. However, there are very few of them, and since they are from commoners, there is a part where they are not hesitant about such things. However, Hyeon-jun was a nobleman, he seemed to have a seed, and his appearance and behavior were neat, which did not seem to come from a commoner.
Everyone slightly distanced themselves from Hyunjoon. It’s because I want to avoid getting involved with nobles and putting myself in a dog-like situation.
“I’m dining with my mercenaries. Who will say anything?”
Hyeonjun smiled and said that, then scooped up the stew and ate it. The other mercenaries also smiled. For an aristocratic mercenary captain to mingle with the mercenary members, eat and chat with them, something that could not happen in other mercenary groups.
With just one word from Hyeon-jun, others learned how strong the relationship between the captain and the members of the mercenary group was. It is the pride and honor of the mercenaries. The truly united mercenaries will protect each other, and even if their backs are exposed or the war situation declines, they will not run away at the risk of death for their colleagues. A soldier with high morale is the best soldier. Even if he lacks skills, he overcomes with blood and death and fulfills his role.
In reality, they didn’t know that they were eating separately, and they just came here, but it’s true that they have a good relationship anyway. Hyeonjun grumbled at Gallion inwardly.
‘I’ll let you know in advance.’
Of course, it would be unfair from Gallion’s point of view. It was because he thought that the aristocrat, Hyeon-jun, of course, would know.
“In this situation, if I go to a bar, it would be a bit like that, wouldn’t it?”
“I’m asking something obvious.”
Gunther whispered at Hyeonjun’s words. Hyeonjun sighed secretly and finished his meal. The wall of status is strong, but it can’t be helped.
After the meal, Hyeonjun looked at the mercenaries and said,
“Please drink in moderation and then come.”
“yes!”
Hearing the mercenaries’ nasty answers, Hyeon-jun returned to the barracks. However, La Hansen did not go to the bar and followed Hyeon-jun. Hyeonjun raised his eyebrows and said.
“Aren’t you going to the tavern?”
“yes.”
Hyeonjun smiled and returned to the barracks. And I found a soldier with a slightly embarrassed face. He was crossing his arms and scratching his head in front of the barracks of the Jun & Gunther mercenaries.
“Jun. You didn’t come to the restaurant, so Lord Gallion came looking for you.”
“Oops, tell Lord Gallion I’m sorry. I want to have a meal with my mercenaries.”
At those words, the soldier’s face became slightly moved. There are many nobles who take good care of their soldiers, but few nobles share their lives with them.
“A light banquet has been prepared to welcome Jun.”
“Okay. egg plant.”
Hyeon-jun glanced back at La Hansen while walking under the guidance of the soldier. La Hansen gave a small nod and walked behind Hyeon-jun.
The place he arrived at was a barracks deep inside the military camp, larger than other barracks and seemed to have better facilities. Hyeonjun walked in with a calm face.
“Jun, please sit down.”
“yes.”
Answering Gallion’s words, Hyeonjun sat down. A soft smile appeared on his face. Looking at the faces sitting there, they are all nobles and knights. Looking at those smiling faces, Hyeon-jun laughed coldly inwardly.
“Welcome? Ha.”
Sensing the force of pressure subtly, Hyeon-jun buried himself in the lowest seat.
“I never thought you would hold a banquet like this on the front line of the eastern mountains.”
Go do your own thing in the time of wasting money and fixing things up.
“There’s a newcomer, but we can’t take it lightly.”
It will be good for you to act while keeping an eye on it.
‘Even if you’re a noble, what you do is like a child.’
Hyunjoon smiled. And he looked at the only man in the banquet hall with a hardened face. He averted Hyunjoon’s eyes. is a wizard If Hyeon-Jun can know that he is a magician, then the opponent will also know that Hyeon-Jun deals with mana.
Hyeonjun is wearing his armor and is even wearing a long sword. Of course, it doesn’t look like a wizard. A warrior who has come with the banner of Benting, and is not a magician, but deals with mana.
Hyunjoon smiled. The knights also took off their full plate armor and wore comfortable clothes. Only Hyeon-jun is dressed in armor in preparation for battle like soldiers.
Right now Hyunjun is the strongest in this banquet hall.
