An awl in your pocket?
No, this is not called an awl sticking out of a pocket.
“It’s not enough to ignore the motives. You can’t even see the jockey in your eyes.”
“If you are good, how good do you say you are? Is it so twisted to tell me what the mission was?”
Jay hid himself in a leafy tree, sipping a drink from a leather pouch, then plucked a branch and looked down.
Since it is behind a building used as a restaurant and meeting place, I thought it would be a good place to smoke because there were few people coming and going late at night.
Seeing that I am not the only one who thinks so, he sighs and begins to quietly click his tongue.
‘Crazy guys.’
It is also a skill to intuit the difference in skill.
Recognizing the warnings sent by instinct is also a skill.
‘I’m sure he won’t kill them all.’
I’m trying to tell the leader and somehow get him to drive a stake, so it’s difficult if he turns out to be a murderer.
Three 1777 riders, two 1776 riders and one 1770 rider.
As the six of them surrounded Kane, Jay straightened up from leaning against the tree and began to watch them turn.
“I couldn’t tell you because I had a confidentiality oath, I would have said.”
A small but powerful speech. It’s insensitive, but there’s a feeling of disgust underneath.
Jay laughed. That tone, which is neither completely respectful nor half-talking, is mixed with senior jockeys, so it must be because he thought that it was not worth treating him with respect.
‘Idiots.’
Thanks to this, I got a good view that enhances the taste of alcohol.
Seeing those golden eyes that were looking right at him as he hid himself among the leaves at some distance away, Jay waved happily and passed a sip of his drink down his throat.
“Who wants to tell the whole mission? Ha, this bastard can’t understand this.”
“Well, you must be an idiot.”
Jay has been looking at those eyes uninterestingly. Slave hunters who are often caught using monster borders to avoid inspection.
And the eyes of the children and beastmen who met after catching them.
Hatred of humans, enmity.
Eyes with no faith or expectation in that person.
Looking into those eyes makes me feel like a bug.
It would have been the same for them. So when I see you ask about a mission that even ended with a confidentiality oath that didn’t work out.
It’s not that I want to hear the answer to the mission, it’s just a reason I used because I needed an excuse.
like now.
“Noisy, let’s get you right. A junior with no concept who doesn’t even know what’s up and down is weak.”
Six men giggled, then two of them came out and grabbed Kane’s arm.
“Cheek-to-cheek, and tell me how many per hit. Or if you beg me for being arrogant because I did something wrong, I’m willing to look down on you.”
Kane let out a loose breath at the words of the man wearing the highest jockey’s badge.
“Senior, I just cut off one finger and start. I brought you a potion here.”
“Cheuk, is that so? If you attach your fingers right away, there is no problem in writing.”
The classmates who held arms on both sides giggled, and Kane’s wrist was grabbed and the senior rider man standing in front lifted the dagger from his bosom, and Kane opened his mouth with a cold look in his eyes.
“How to read a map, how to operate a force of 30 or less, and how to hold strategy meetings. Did you learn something?”
Even if you don’t learn how to do politics, you won’t nag.
“What are you talking about!”
“Put your finger on it, kid.”
The men, who thought they were being ignored by Kane’s low-pitched words, bludgeoned them without hesitation.
In response, Kane stepped on the left man’s foot until it clicked.
“Ah! Kuck!”
The moment he released his hand from the pain and lost his posture, he pushed the screaming chin with one free hand and broke it, then grabbed the person holding the other arm and lifted it up.
The time it took to get here is just an instant!
No one here was able to respond, and when they already recognized it in their minds, one of those who were holding Kane had his jaw smashed and the other’s neck twisted in a strange way and fell down, moaning softly.
“Dead, dead! Killing this son of a b*tch!”
“No way.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“You die too!”
It’s like he just broke his neck so much that he couldn’t get up right away.
Kane looked at him with a feminine face and slashed the wrist that was holding the handle of the dagger that was being swung towards his neck and threw it into the air.
At the same time as swinging the dagger, the man who was standing next to him and punched him in the cold also slightly twisted his body to avoid it, kicking his ankle when he fell down thanks to his dodging.
And the dagger that made a whirring sound and fell in mid-air.
After cutting it off with his fingertips and inserting it into the thigh of a member of the 1776th class who started to run away with his back turned, with the other hand he struck the man standing in front of him on the cheek with the back of his hand, causing his head to turn around and at the same time, broken teeth protruded out of his mouth.
“Ouch!”
“Ouch! all… lee! my legs!”
One by one in one motion.
Kane moved faster in front of the man whose complexion turned white at the sight of him and was about to run away.
Hitting his neck with his hand, he hit his breath bone and threw him into the wall as if pushing him at the same time. All six of them crawled to the floor and groaned.
“Ouch… … .”
“Okay, I was wrong!”
“This, this bird. Are you going to take a car like this?”
Cain opened his mouth with cold eyes as he watched the man screaming while splashing bloody spittle on the subject.
“What is human?”
Eyes that do not hide disgust.
The one who spat curse words in those eyes and the one who moaned while paying attention to the overwhelming powerlessness stopped breathing for a moment.
“dog… dog… … .”
“A monster allowed to run amok.”
So, if you want to live, you’d better stop doing this.
Even after Kane quietly whispered and left, the six men swallowed only their moans, and then, fearing that Kane would return due to loud footsteps, they took off their boots and started to go back.
“You gave up drinking… … .”
A word I asked to get to know each other while moving to the hilly area. The guy who was more human than anyone else when he said just two words, younger brother, to the question, “Do you have someone important to you?”
Isn’t it a foul if you look more resentful towards humans than slaves, the prisoners who were caught and sold to people?
Because I read the ferocity beneath that deep hatred and the desperateness hidden further down.
Jay wiped his goosebumps down.
* * *
“We are victims too.”
“That is a matter for you to figure out. It’s none of my business whether you make a claim for compensation to the regular punitive squad or to another mercenary squad.”
I’m only talking about the damage I’ve suffered, but as I grin, the faces of those sitting in front of me die.
“Kuhh… Then some… Can you reduce it? I don’t have this kind of money, boy. Or, even if it’s divided, it’s like giving it to the head family… … .”
A rat man with a crooked back. At Kicho’s words, I passed the wine down my throat and shrugged.
“It’s a huge amount of money for me, but what are you talking about? Strictly speaking, it’s the price of my life. Did I almost die?”
It’s a loss that I can’t make up for even if I receive a hundred times that money.
“I did my best to extenuate the normalcy, but it’s shameless. I mean, I didn’t even tell the family to solve it on my own. If you contact the parent family, things will get bigger, right?”
No matter what I say, if I catch the pod and return to the starting point, I will get the wrong information first, so those who came out as the representatives of the regular punitive team wipe away sweat.
Everyone will have regrets. In this place where there are no intentional perpetrators and only victims, it is not even possible to have a proper meeting right now because I am involved.
So that was enough. Now, no matter what I say, you will have no choice but to obey in order to reduce the compensation.
“Well, fine then. In fact, money rots and overflows.”
I rested my chin on my chin and raised the corners of my mouth, taking in the faces of the people in front of me one by one.
“In lieu of compensation, do this. The three of you will come under me for the next month. Monsters are hunted by herders, but they didn’t bring servants, so there are no herders.”
Kicho and Rayren, who are slightly displeased, and Vincent, who is expressionless.
“Instead, share the by-products yourself. I just want to have fun.”
“Kihihi, just leave it to me!”
“Bocchan, you are big. Do you have anything to say?”
“Good.”
In this way, it became possible to attract the three most influential groups in the border area.
I turned my eyes to the regular subjugation member who was swallowing dry saliva.
“After playing here, the missions that look a bit interesting are said to be done by the regular subjugation team. Instead of reparation, you do this.”
Don’t stop me from participating in the subjugation I want.
“That would only be possible if your commander, Commander-in-Chief Reinhardt, promised, but he isn’t here anyway, is he?”
Reinhardt has not yet returned after leaving to investigate human sacrifice, which is believed to be a trace of the black magician. If so, that authority would have been handed over to the deputy commander.
‘And that sub-commander in the original story, I remember. As soon as Cyclops came down, there was a story that he jumped into the capital alone.’
Then, unlike Reinhardt, who is here to protect honor and the common people, he must be here for a different reason, and he has no choice but to accept my condition even if he doesn’t like me messing around.
“That’s right. It’s difficult for us to promise right now, but we’ll go back and raise the agenda to the deputy commander and get his approval.”
Instead of paying a huge amount of compensation, you would think that it would be better to put the boy who was just playing soldiers into the subjugation he wanted.
“One, go right away. I don’t like to wait.”
“I’m coming!”
Eoyoung Booyoung said that he would wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but when Reinhardt comes back, it’s obvious that things will get messy.
I opened my eyes to the user and said to the regular subjugation member whose face was wide open as if he was alive, and the youngest-looking one jumped up to greet him and ran out.
“Have a cup of tea while you wait, boy. Riff, knock on the others.”
During the short break while waiting for him, Luna and Leaf bring tea.
A beautiful maid of an insane aristocrat, and a secretary and servant who appear to be of noble origin. There’s even an attractive escort.
Really, anyone would see him as an extravagant bully.
“Thank you.”
“It smells good, but oh my, this is a southern tea.”
“The scent of kuhuh is sweet, but the taste… … .”
I smiled happily and looked around while opening the user’s eyes for the first time in a while.
Originally, every time I use it, the feeling of floating seems to decrease little by little, so I cherish it these days.
I turned it on after contemplating to see if there were any remnants of the Evil Gods here, so I could see who was going to report.
And that person’s trait was normal and it’s a pity to just turn it off.
‘Actually, I want to see Vincent.’
I was curious because it was a unit I often used in the game. It’s been a while since I appointed him in terms of the original work, so I wondered what his current trait would be like.
[Vincent – Shaking Seeker]
Representative Traits: [Faith (S)] [Leadership (A)]
Hidden Traits: [Sophistry (B)] [Brainwashing (E)]
‘also.’
It’s been fine up until this point.
Vincent in the game was a named unit that could be obtained from other places than the border here.
Unlike normal units that can be obtained through taverns or recruiting, named units can only be obtained through special methods.
And since he was a pseudo-religious leader there, Vincent, who was pushed back in the religious war of evil denominations, still has ‘S’ faith here.
‘It’s fun.’
The story continues biting tail after tail.
In the game, remembering Vincent, who was useful in many ways thanks to his brainwashing, sophistry, and even charisma, he took a sip of tea and then looked at the others.
‘Kicho is as you can see.’
There is nothing much to look at other than plotting (B) and collecting information (B). Reyren has a martial artist type trait that is okay except for the monopoly and jealousy attached to Hidden.
The same goes for the other scouts.
The highest is ‘B’. Actually, there are a lot of ‘S’ and ‘A’s around me, but that’s okay.
‘In the meantime, my eyes have grown too high.’
As the hot teacup is cooling down, I hear the sound of quick footsteps outside and someone knocks and comes in.
“Huh, huh. We report. I have received permission from the deputy commander.”
“okay?”
Then you can act confidently when you subdue Cyclops.
I smiled slowly when the punitive squad member who ran earlier came back and handed me a piece of paper.
