Eastern Mountain Front
“Go back to your seat!”
“yes!”
When the commander shouted, the soldiers moved quickly and returned to their original positions.
Hyeonjun also stroked La Hansen’s hair once again and went back to the commanders.
“I’ve seen the strength of the June & Gunter mercenaries. They’re great.”
“thank you.”
“Still, we need additional training as we lack personnel.”
Hyunjoon smiled. the desired sea.
“Of course. Please make it as cool as possible.”
“Um, um.”
The commanders nodded in satisfaction. These days, young people all want to pull back if they seem to be having a little hard time, but I think about my young friend very deeply.
“But we can’t continue like this. We will add more people through future adjustments. Please understand.”
“thank you.”
It would be good if Hyeon-jun also increased the number of people. This is because the remaining mercenaries must protect the wall while he runs over the wall and kills the monster. The soldiers here are all top-notch, and as much as they are added, you can walk around with confidence.
“… Why don’t you organize the completed balls separately?”
“What do you mean?”
“Fill up 22 men with Jun & Gunter mercenaries and soldiers to guard the wall, and Jun’s ball goes around the entire wall like last night and kills the monsters that came up.”
“It’s one mercenary. You can’t separate the captain.”
“Didn’t you say that the co-captain was in command?”
“It’s not because there’s a lot of people, so it’s not like they’re taking out the captain from a small number of people.”
“It’s too much power to be tied to one place. Think tactically.”
“Are you thinking tactically about whether a unit without a captain will work well?”
“You damn stone head!”
“Be careful of your words!
Hyeon-joon quietly stepped back and was lost in thought.
If you run around the walls alone and kill monsters, you can get more karma and make bigger achievements. If you think rationally, that would be fine.
“I’m sorry, but my mercenaries can’t climb the wall without me.”
The commanders who were on the verge of swinging their fists stopped at that firm word. Even though they are the commanders of the Eastern Mountain Front, the commanders of the mercenary corps are Hyun-jun and Gunther. Taking out only the captain of the mercenary corps is only possible if Hyeon-jun agrees. Hyeonjun refused, so I can’t say more.
“Kuhm, that’s natural!”
“this….”
Hyeon-jun smiled slightly as he saw the commanders who were mixed in joy and sorrow. The age difference between the two seems to be 20, but they seem to be in a close relationship. The younger commander won in the outer wall deployment of June & Gunter’s mercenary group, and the older commander won in June’s separate formation. They glared at each other like they would prey on each other, but it must mean that they are close enough to fight.
Hyeonjun pondered for a moment before raising his hand toward Gunther. As Gunther strode forward, Hyeon-jun said.
“There was talk of putting in my outer wall.”
“Yes, it’s a waste of power to rot.”
Despite the eyes of others, Gunther spoke without hesitation to the aristocrat Hyeon-jun. As a result of the mercenaries putting their heads together, they decided to put the positions of co-captains Hyeon-jun and Gunther at the same level.
Both exalt each other, or be comfortable with each other.
This happened because both Hyeon-jun and Gunther said that they were aristocrats and nabal and would let go of their words rather than raise their words to each other.
“I have no intention of raising the mercenaries alone on the wall.”
“Ha, of course not. so?”
“Since most casualties are said to occur at night… .”
“…Let’s climb the outer wall every night?”
“okay.”
Gunther stroked his chin and fell into trouble. He was in charge of the right wing in a mock battle, and he stood proudly despite being bruised and bleeding on one side of his face, and having been beaten so badly that he was not healthy.
“If you fight every night, you can’t handle the fatigue.”
The stress of night battles, where you have to stare into the darkness and be tight, is beyond imagination. Outside the castle wall, monsters are teeming with them, and they are trying to come up right away, but they can’t relax.
Soldiers who are put into the outer wall also take a full rest the next day after fighting once at night, and do not climb the outer wall at night for at least two days.
Humans are animals that are active during the day, and when night battles are repeated, their biorhythm is broken and they collapse uncontrollably. Unlike Hyeon-jun, who can see through the darkness and slaughter monsters without fear, ordinary human mercenaries cannot do that.
“What if you take a day off?”
“But it can’t be done. I can’t stand it.”
The commanding officers also nodded at that resolute statement. Of course I can’t stand it. It would be better to spend 4 hours of fierce battles every day during the day. If you were told to do night battles every other day for 4 hours, even the best of the eastern mountain range would shrivel up like a snail sprinkled with salt.
“Jun, remember. Not everyone can do it like you.”
“hmm… . okay.”
Hyeon-jun is a special being, and he knows it well. But often we almost make such a dangerous mistake.
He sometimes makes outrageous demands, thinking inadvertently that other humans can do the same. This is because it has grown too fast with the power of shops and talent.
The time he had to do everything in his power to kill the goblins was only ten days, and from the second day onwards, he absorbed Vance’s skills and fought skillfully.
If the mercenaries, especially Gunther and La Hansen, do not hold Hyeon-joon firmly, he will keep going wrong. Hyeon-jun himself knows that, so he completely entrusts the command to Gunther.
In a training situation, ‘Why can’t I do this?’ It’s okay if things happen. But if you’re a bastard who wastes the lives of his comrades in vain by talking about bullsh*t in real combat, it’s better to just die. An incompetent commander is more terrifying than an enemy.
Of course, if only 10 guys who can move like Hyeon-Jun get together, Hyeon-Jun can become a great commander. He is smart and creative. Even though Hyeon-jun has not learned about tactics, if he is fighting alone, he will fight with tactical gains like a ghost. It is innate.
“Join us during the day, climb the wall alone at night.”
“It’s too much for me to go around the wall now. The mercenaries will be completely buried.”
“Considering the situation, it is important to set the ball first.”
“An opportunity like this isn’t common. We have to make a mark in the name of the mercenaries.”
Gunther grabbed Hyeon-jun’s breastplate and said with a growl.
“Don’t talk nonsense when you can’t even take care of yourself.”
“…….”
Hyunjoon kept his mouth shut. He was thinking of making a contribution in the name of the June Ann Gunther mercenary corps and inserting the mercenary corps into Turaion’s regular army for the name when Turaion arrived in Benting.
enough skills However, it wouldn’t look good to put those who were adventurers and free mercenaries until recently into the regular army. Because of this, he was thinking of making a name for himself as a mercenary in the most dangerous place in the Southern Kingdom, called the Eastern Mountains Front.
There’s no way Gunther doesn’t know that. Gunther has experience working as a formal mercenary. He smiled and said that he too would become an enlisted soldier in Turaion, but he knew full well that it would not be easy. It was clear what Hyunjoon was thinking.
“We all want to be successful. I gave you my life for that. But listen up.”
Gunther pulled Hyeonjun’s breastplate and pushed his face in. Hyeonjun’s calm eyes met those hot eyes.
“There is no one in our mercenary corps who tries to succeed by blocking your path. Above all, we live if you live. Don’t be stupid and stay sane.”
“… … okay. I get it.”
In response to Hyeon-jun’s answer, Gunther let him go and punched him in the chest. Hyeonjun also smiled and slapped his chest. Only then did Gunther smile.
“Hmm, hmm.”
“It’s nice to see young friends caring for each other.”
The commanders, who had been watching with bated breath, coughed awkwardly and giggled. Hyunjoon sighed and said.
“That’s it. I’ll climb the wall every night.”
“Are you okay?”
“No problem.”
“Um, I see.”
Hyeon-jun’s problem was solved, and from then on, it was a breeze. It is a place where commanders who directly see practical work gather. I simply wrote the document on parchment and stamped it. In less than 5 minutes, a warm order came out.
“I will climb the outer wall tonight as well.”
“Okay.”
Hyeon-jun shook hands with the commanders and stepped back. From today, every day after the sun goes down, the monsters climb the outer wall at the most crowded time. And when the mercenaries climb the outer wall, they have to climb again. Depending on the situation, you may have to fight for 8 hours at night.
‘I’m going to delay Mana Affinity 2 a bit and buy physical abilities.’
Hyeonjun immediately bought 1 health boost with the remaining karma. Next time, buy Agility Enhancement 1.
‘I can’t even use the earth magic I bought.’
You can’t make thorns rise from the top of the castle wall. To be precise, it is possible, but it will stop at just sticking out between the stones of the wall, and it will cut down the durability of the wall. Of course I can’t write. But if you buy mana control 3, it seems you can get to the bottom of the wall.
‘If you can pour magic on those who are cornered under the wall… .’
If I could fire fire magic like Kurman did, I would be blown away. But you have to invest a lot of karma, and you can’t play with fire in the eastern mountains in dry autumn. Hyeon-joon thought about it before purchasing the magic to create soil and stone with 50 karma.
‘I will continue to throw stones to kill him.’
If magic doesn’t work, you can do it with your body. Mage (physical). Other mages must study magic for long-range attacks, and must concentrate hard to control the magic that barely lands. Hyeon-jun just throws a stone and kills him. With Hyeon-jun’s power and skill, it would not be a problem to break the skull of a human or a small monster, even if he did not know about medium-sized monsters.
There is a limit to throwing stones placed on the wall. If Hyeon-joon grabs each and starts tossing it, it will be consumed in an instant. After that, the next soldier cannot use the ballista.
‘Basic magic can be used forever. Compared to only 50 karma, it is highly useful.’
You can still use it to make soil and stone. You can sprinkle dirt, like pouring water on your opponent’s eyes in battle, or you can blow them with pebbles. And even dialysis with a stone the size of a fist.
‘The center of my battle is hand-to-hand combat. Magic is just an aid to creating variables. The idea of killing an enemy with only magic must be abandoned.’
When he first acquired magic, he became very excited and relied too much on magic. He even dared to kill enemies that could have been killed with a sword.
However, through the experience accumulated so far, Hyun-joon was able to clearly set the direction he was going to go.
***
Returning to the barracks with the mercenaries, Hyeon-jun raised his eyebrows at the man standing in front of the barracks.
It is the seed of Gallion. I already sigh as I wonder if something bothersome has happened again.
“Jun, Lord Gallion is looking for you.”
“Okay, go right away.”
From noble mtl dot com
When Hyeon-jun replied, La Hansen immediately followed Hyeon-jun.
Hyeon-jun patted La Hansen on the shoulder and followed Gallion’s seed.
Hyeon-jun told La Hansen that he didn’t have to be a servant, but La Hansen is acting like Hyun-jun’s servant. It’s not because he’s worried about being kicked out by Hyeon-jun like before, but for Hyeon-jun’s authority.
Hyeon-jun has no title, but everyone treats him like a knight. But you can’t just leave it alone without a single seed. It was La Hansen’s own reward for Hyeon-jun. Being the servant of a guy who isn’t even a knight, there’s a limit to passion pay. No one would want to waste time on such nonsense. No matter how much Hyeon-joon teaches La Hansen about swordsmanship, he is nothing now, and the only thing he can promise La Hansen is an uncertain future.
“Sir Gallion, I brought Jun-sama.”
“okay.”
The servant opened the door, and Hyeon-jun entered Gallion’s room.
Gallion smiled happily and pointed in front of him.
“Sit down.”
“yes.”
When Hyeon-jun sat down, he quietly stood behind La Hansen. Gallion’s servant poured tea into Hyeon-jun’s cup, then stepped back and stood behind Gallion.
“I heard about your performance. It was excellent. His Excellency was also satisfied.”
“thank you.”
It seems that you have already contacted the Marquis.
“His Excellency expects a lot from you, so please continue to be active.”
“of course.”
“and….”
Galion lifted the tea, moistened his lips, and smiled softly. Hyeonjun also drank some tea.
‘Unlike other knights, he is very aristocratic.’
The timing to cut off the conversation while holding tea, the soft smile that makes a small smile, and the teeth of a snake aiming for prey are hidden behind the quiet eyes. It is a look that was not shown on the way to the eastern mountain range front.
“Please don’t do anything too risky. Aren’t you here to see Her Highness?”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Hyeonjun responded with a smile at that worrying tone.
‘… It’s like a dog.’
As the Marquis said, we’ll see for now, but he said to be careful not to be so rude that his head falls off or his arms and legs are tied before he even sees the princess.
Of course, he wouldn’t be threatening Hyeon-jun. It is an article that the Marquis attached to keep an eye on Hyeon-Jun. Even if you don’t know exactly what the Marquis wants, you can probably guess. Rather, he is in a position to protect Hyun-joon.
After that, time passed pointlessly by chatting with each other. Hyeonjun pressed down his irritation and fatigue to hide it and treated him with a smile.
Gallion came to watch over Hyeon-jun as a knight of the Marquis, and Hyeon-jun is an untitled guy who came in from another faction. Gallion is the clear boss, and Hyun-jun can’t get out of this damn room until he lets go.
The reason Hyun-jun was able to act confidently at the banquet hall was because it happened regardless of Gallion’s will. Gallion secretly laughed at Hyeon-jun and encouraged him, and Hyeon-jun received the signal and destroyed the banquet. However, in a situation where a seat was prepared in the name of Gallion, he could not stand up and leave.
