Eastern Mountain Front
Hyeon-jun sprinted over the wall again and returned to his original position. This time, the number of monsters was greatly reduced compared to the first time, so I didn’t get much karma. Still, it was effective enough as the soldiers saw Hyeon-Jun galloping over the railing of the castle wall and pounded their shields to create a huge wave. Gaspan also showed an example by swinging his sword nicely.
No matter how elite they were, they could not fight without taking any damage on the frontline of the Eastern Mountains, where people were dying like flies. However, due to Hyeon-jun’s performance on the wall they stood on, casualties were greatly reduced tonight.
For those directly fighting the enemy, Hyeonjun is like a reliable soup restaurant that serves a bowl of head meat with side dishes for only 5,000 won the day before payday. Unless you’re crazy about fighting, you can’t hate it.
Over time, those who came to change came up the wall. They tilted their heads, feeling the atmosphere hovering over the outer wall.
“Are you okay?”
“There are not many stones left.”
The soldier who brought up the story while taking turns looked back at Hyeon-jun’s answer and then slightly lowered his head. It was because he didn’t look like a commoner at all. Hyeonjun smiled and looked at Gunther.
“Other than that, there are no other problems.”
“Okay. Good job.”
“Good job.”
Gunther shook his hand firmly and went down. Hyeon-jun remained on the wall until the end, then strode down the outer wall. The soldiers glanced at Hyeon-jun, who smelled of blood, but found their place and stood guard.
“… Is it too quiet?”
“what….”
The soldiers whispered and looked outside the walls. Occasionally monsters cling to and climb up in other places, but the place they guarded and stood is silent. Anyway, it would be nice if there were no monsters, but I felt uncomfortable because I didn’t know the reason.
The soldiers gathered inside the outer wall for the shift smiled at Hyeon-jun and raised their helmets. Hyeonjun also smiled and slapped Halberd’s spear on his shoulder.
No one paid attention to the June Ann Gunter mercenaries when they were first put into the outer wall, but now everyone sees them and says hello. The June & Gunter mercenaries walked proudly with their chests out. Hyeon-jun also played a great role, but they also defended the wall excellently with a small number of people. He showed his skills and deserves recognition.
“depart.”
After confirming that all personnel had arrived, Gaspan gave the order and the soldiers and mercenaries began to move. Hyeon-jun walked in front of the mercenary group and sneakily checked his halberd.
“hmm….”
The ax blade of the sturdy halberd, which does not easily get damaged even if it hits the armor, is a mess. The spikes are also slightly bent. Well, the number of monsters he killed alone today is well over 40. It wasn’t just a normal kill, he swung the halberd with his whole body, slashed his limbs with one blow, and broke his skull. It’s weirder that it doesn’t go bad.
“There is a blacksmith I am friendly with.”
At that moment, a soldier who was walking next to him spoke quietly. Hyunjoon smiled and looked at him.
“Would you like me to introduce you?”
“of course.”
“hahahaha, thank you.”
Those who entered the inner wall reported and dispersed, but Gaspan approached Hyeon-jun and said.
“Jun-gong, would you like to have a drink together?”
“great.”
Hyeonjun grinned and handed the halberd to La Hansen. It’s because I can’t carry it and head to a drinking party. Lahansen took the halberd and talked to the soldier who introduced him to the blacksmith.
Hyeon-jun glanced at Gunther and walked along the gas plate. Gaspan entered a small barracks where he appeared to be staying alone. Maybe it’s because they’re nobles, so they use a separate barracks.
“Sir Gaspan, are you here?”
“Okay, the guest is here, so get ready.”
“yes.”
Hyeonjun nodded slightly, looking at his younger-looking squire. I wondered where he put the seeds because he was traveling alone, but he must have been too young to take them to the outer wall. If it was another knight, he would have taken it with him, but he seemed to care quite a bit about the seed.
At Gaspan’s words, the boy prepared simple food and alcohol. And I glanced at the gas plate. I have to take off the armor, but the gas plate is still, so I’m watching.
“I’ll do it later. Rest.”
“yes.”
Gaspan bit the seed and sat down in a chair. At his gesture, Hyeon-jun also sat down across from him. Only then did Gaspan take off his helmet and look straight at Hyeon-jun. He is a man in his thirties with an upright look.
“It was a lot of work.”
“thank you.”
Gaspan lifted the bottle and poured it directly to Hyeonjun, and filled his own glass as well. As he raised his glass, Hyeonjun also raised it and took a big drink. It is a terrible solo drink that seems to suffocate the throat.
“Whoa… Turaion. Is that the Turaion I know?”
“That’s right. I recently became a Turaion.”

Gaspan raised his eyebrows. There were signs that a complex story involving nobles would pop out of nowhere, so I slipped it over.
“You did a good job. You did a great job. I couldn’t see you during the day. Where are you staying?”
“It’s outside the military camp.”
Gaspan stared at Hyeon-jun, then drank the remaining alcohol and said.
“Get a good rest today, and move the barracks because we will send someone tomorrow morning.”
“All right.”
Hyeonjun also drank the remaining alcohol at once and poured each other’s drinks into each other’s glasses.
“We don’t care about nobility, chivalry, or politics. If you do your part, you’ll get what you deserve.”
Looking at those calm eyes, Hyunjoon smiled. It’s good to be excited.
“No one will play tricks on his comrades.”
“Then you must live up to expectations.”
Gaspan also smiled. The two drank the remaining glass at once. When Gaspan got up, Hyeonjun also got up.
“I will not meet you.”
“Please rest in peace.”
Hyeonjun took a bow and left the barracks with unstoppable steps. Let’s have a drink, and we ended up just talking while drinking. Totally masculine. A small smile appeared on Hyunjoong’s face.
Hyeon-jun, who returned to the barracks with light steps, grinned at the mercenaries waiting for him.
“Oh, were you waiting?”
“Okay, let’s wash up quickly. Give me water.”
“These children…”
Hyeonjun grumbled and started taking off his armor. La Hansen sighed and came over to help.
“What do you say?”
“It is said that Lord Gaspan pushes it. I will move the barracks tomorrow.”
“Huh… . Great, great.”
“Did you know that now?”
Hyeonjun giggled and started to clean the armor he had taken off. Everyone grumbled, but helped him fix his armor.
“What about Halberd?”
“They said if you go to the smithy tomorrow and tell them your name, they’ll be the first to do it.”
“good.”
“…….”
“why?”
La Hansen silently looked at Hyeon-jun, then averted his eyes and backed away.
“What is it? Talk to me.”
“Something… isn’t it popular with men?”
“… … what?”
The mercenaries quickly withdrew. When Hyeon-jun jumped up and looked around, everyone averted his eyes.
“What bullsh*t?”
“He, in addition to Sir Dvan, Sir Anton, Marquis Benting of Turaion, Sir Gaspan, and even the soldiers… .”
“Lahansen.”
Hyeon-joon gripped La Hansen’s small head tightly. La Hansen stopped when Hyun-jun’s grip tightened his head.
“Oh, I really want to bite and kill you.”
“…….”
Everyone slightly averted their eyes at Hyeonjun’s words as he gritted his teeth. Lahansen was right. And if you said the right thing, you should be beaten… .
“Let’s go to bed quickly?”
“Ah, I see… .”
Everyone whispered and distanced themselves from Hyeon-jun. Hyun-joon asked them to shower with magic, but everyone refused with awkward smiles. Hyeon-jun smiled softly and poured water with magic inside the barracks.
“You son of a b*tch!”
“Ouch! My sleeping bag!”
“You madman! I only have one pair of panties left!”
“You filthy bastards! Wash up and go to bed!”
“I’m asking for water to see him change clothes…”
“die!”
Hyeon-joon poured water until his mana almost ran out and began to wipe out the water from his seat with magic and wipe his armor.
Everyone was gossiping and quietly asked Hyeon-jun, but Hyeon-jun did not drain the water from their seats until the end. If you twist it, you’ll learn magic.
***
The soldier who opened the door after knocking on the barracks of the June & Gunter mercenaries flinched. The entire room was filled with moisture and a musty smell came rushing in. All of the mercenaries don’t sleep well, so their complexion looks bad.
“I’m here to guide you to the barracks that will be moved on Sir Gaspan’s orders…”
“Go right away.”
Hyeonjun smiled and used his magic to suck out the water in the barracks, threw it out, and stood up. Everyone grumbled and packed their things. Even if you feel uncomfortable, please hurry up… .
The soldier escorted them to the barracks inside the camp. There is no big difference in facilities, but the atmosphere is definitely different. The atmosphere is sharper than where there are guys guarding the inner wall. Hyeon-jun walked slowly, greeting those who bowed to him as he passed by. As if the story had already circulated, everyone was glancing at the June Ann Gunter Mercenary Corps.
“June of 50-man slashing… .”
“Gnoll Slayer….”
“Shut up before I kill you.”
When the mercenaries said that, Hyeon-jun felt dizzy. Surely you won’t get another strange nickname? Probably not. please… .
The soldier looked back at Hyeon-jun’s bloody threat, then smiled when he saw Hyeon-jun talking to the mercenaries and moved on.
“This is it.”
“Thank you.”
“No. Then I’m done.”
The soldiers left and the mercenaries began to unpack.
“It’s too annoying to unpack like this.”
“Leave it like me.”
“Do you want to live like that?”
There are even people who live rummaging around with all their belongings in their bags, saying that unpacking is annoying. As I kept moving around, I unpacked, packed, unpacked again, packed again, and repeated. Maybe that’s wise. If I see the princess, I might have to go back to Venting… .
“I’m going to the blacksmith, do you have someone to go with?”
“We didn’t even fight much, so what?”
“I have to go because my shield is distorted.”
The one who had been hit with his shield by Bachum grumbled and stood up. Lahansen got up as well, but the others lay down drooping as if they had no intention of going. Hyunjoon said with a smile.
“I’ll go into the outer wall tomorrow afternoon. Then it’s empty today, right?”
“…….”
“The weather is good for training, right?”
“… Yeah, got it.”
Hyeonjun smiled and left the barracks.
“You’re really popular with men.”
“Shut up, La Hansen.”
There were so many soldiers bowing to Hyeon-jun that it was impossible to accept them all.
Hundreds of people saw Hyeon-jun fight that day. Hyeon-jun was careful not to move too far, but his feet were so fast and he was preoccupied with karma, so he ran farther than he thought. There is no one who does not know Hyeon-jun among those who climbed the wall at the same time that day. Even those in other military camps saw Hyeon-jun.
Hyeonjun sighed deeply and went to the forge. Like the smithy of a military camp on the eastern mountain front, a huge number of blacksmiths were working non-stop.
And Hyun-joon heard something unexpected.
“Jun-nim, you don’t have to pay.”
“What do you mean?”
“That’s how the order came down. However, the mercenary’s weapons must be paid at least half price.”
“under.”
Hyunjoon let out a pleasant laugh.
‘It’s really hot.’
All those whose names are listed on Benting’s military register will have their weapons repaired free of charge. However, mercenaries cannot receive such preferential treatment. This is unusual.
But from the standpoint of the military, it’s not something that can’t be done.
Hyeon-jun alone killed dozens of monsters in one night, greatly reducing casualties. In addition, it was possible to significantly reduce the amount of materials consumed while fighting monsters. No matter how strong an iron net or harpoon is, if you use it against a medium-sized monster, it will inevitably break. Hyeon-joon did a great job by moving away from simply killing monsters.
However, Benting’s soldiers, who are cheerful and full of pride in their hearts, can’t get repair money from him. Even without an order from above, the blacksmith would have taken care of it. Because that’s a real man.
“Please.”
“I will finish it today. You can come after dinner.”
“Thank you.”
Hyeon-jun smiled, shook hands with the blacksmith, and left the blacksmith in a good mood.
“It’s nice to be hot.”
“… … really… .”
“Uh-huh, write. Shut up.”
Hyeon-jun, who raised his eyes and threatened La Hansen, who was trying to talk nonsense again, returned to the barracks. Hyeonjun, who returned to the barracks after receiving numerous requests for eye greetings, grinned. The mercenaries let out a deep sigh and stood up.
“I’m begging you, can’t we just take a day off?”
“Are you guys that good at fighting? Follow me behind the barracks.”
“Wow… that’s too much.”
Hyunjoon smiled and relaxed. He still harbored a grudge against the mercenaries who had been sneaking away from him last night.
“It’s just a big deal.”
“You madman…”
The mercenaries were babbling and getting armed, but a soldier stood in front of the open door of the barracks and said,
“Jun. We have to do group training, so all the mercenaries, please come armed.”
“aaa!”
The mercenaries screamed and ran amok. Hurray! It’s a group training!
“damn…!”
“Keuheum, can’t we help it because we have to do group training?”
The mercenaries passed in front of the trembling Hyeon-jun, giggling. Hyeon-joon glared at them, but he said he was training in the military, so he couldn’t help it. Only the soldier could not keep up with this situation and was confused.
‘It’s unknown how they love the most hellish group training so much… .’
Humans feel rejection and fear when faced with something they cannot understand. That must be what he feels now.
