22. Random position change
The 4th platoon leader said something rude.
Encred answered roughly and listened, realizing that this author had something to say.
“If you have something to say, please do so comfortably.”
After being drenched in sweat, I am enjoying the cool breeze.
Now was the perfect time. It’s a moment to enjoy the wind while feeling the right amount of energy.
So, I hope you can quickly say what you have to say.
“… … “I want you to transfer to the scout corps and carry out your mission.”
The 4th platoon leader crossed his arms and said.
From that appearance, one could see a defensive attitude rather than the commander’s resoluteness.
Encred thought.
A scouting party.
It’s not a common departure. Moreover, Encred himself knows that his position is quite ambiguous.
The reason you can stay at the squad leader level is because this is squad 444.
Are you going to remove me as a scout like that?
“Are you going to be okay? Even if I take our squad leader?”
Rem suddenly poked his head in from behind and said.
Rem placed his chin on Encred’s shoulder.
There wasn’t a big difference in height, so I was able to comfortably lean back.
“Are you serious about that?”
He’s asking with a half-smile, but it seems like he’s protesting not to take him away.
“It’s an order. “Rem.”
The 4th platoon commander rolled his eyes. It’s a bluff. Encred recognized it at a glance.
Rem is a troublemaker. If you’re wrong, you’ll be an axe-wielding bastard.
There is no point in invoking the authority of a commander against such a fool.
The 4th platoon leader knows that, Encred knows it, and Rem knows it too.
“Rem.”
Encred called out Rem’s name to stop this ax-loving squad member before he could say anything more, and pushed Rem back with his shoulder.
“No, whatever, you can do whatever you want.”
Rem grunted and fell back.
“I can go instead.”
Ragna watched silently and spoke indifferently.
“… … “Was Mia your hope for the future?”
Rem, who heard that, smiled and said. Ragna was about to get angry, but he held back his anger.
It wasn’t wrong.
Ragna is not good at finding his way.
No, even if you give him a map and explain it to him, he ends up in a different place.
However, I don’t have the talent to coordinate well with the person next to me.
Didn’t he end up here because he ignored orders and fought arbitrarily in any squad?
There were many obstacles to being selected as a scout.
“Even if everything works, you can’t do it.”
The 4th platoon leader has no choice but to shake his head at Ragna.
To Encred, this situation itself sounded like a bad sign.
‘If you think about it all, I’m qualified.’
His ambiguous position becomes meaningful when he is among the members of Squad 444.
There was quite a bit of commotion as he was only gone for a week.
And yet you’re singling out yourself?
It sounded like there was no one to call.
The word that was said to be a curse quickly faded away.
The aftereffects of that remained.
Bo, Jack, and Lawton were all part of the scout corps.
There is not enough number of people.
“Phew, I have a headache too. “One of the platoon leaders has an upset stomach and can’t move.”
It almost felt like a curse.
After all, this only happened to the reconnaissance platoon.
The platoon leader looked exhausted.
There was no need to call Encred.
‘I feel strangely uncomfortable.’
I stared at it with that thought in mind.
“Don’t look at me like that. “I’ll tell you everything.”
“yes?”
“Don’t look at me like that.”
‘Me what?’
I just looked at him, but the 4th platoon leader sighed and overreacted.
“Well, what are you going to do if you swear like that with your eyes? Sometimes, you have to think about the feelings of the person being hurt. “To my superiors, too.”
Rem said with a chuckle.
There are no limits to how you react to that joke.
I looked at the platoon leader again with the intention of going in first.

“In order to arbitrarily increase the number of scouts, a squad leader was arbitrarily promoted to a platoon leader, but I guess the number is insufficient. So, in a hurry, the order was to select people from each unit who could perform reconnaissance missions. “But the higher-ups said it would be a good idea to include you, so it ended up like this.”
“Are you higher up?”
“New company commander. “Nothing was filmed, right?”
Since you know the secret, I will send you on a scouting expedition and kill you without a word to silence you?
No, if that’s the case, is there a reason to do this?
does not exist. He seemed to have the talent to secretly kill someone.
Even if that’s not the case, there are many ways.
That doesn’t mean you’ll die easily, but from the other person’s perspective, that’s what it means.
therefore.
‘I think I said it without much thought.’
Encred decided that.
“It’s an order from above. So, let’s go.”
Beside me, Rem is rolling her eyes.
Behind him, Ragnar says he will go.
Right in front of the barracks, a squad member who is a head taller than an ordinary soldier and looks like he could have beaten a bear with his bare hands is looking up at the sky and praying to God.
“Most Holy Lord, please do not take away my small and precious squad leader. “Please do not tempt this small and frail servant.”
The 4th platoon commander, who heard that, could not hide his absurdity.
No, who is taking it away?
And who is small and thin?
The praying soldier’s forearm muscles were flexing.
To exaggerate a bit, his forearms were as big as the thighs of a normal soldier.
Because he is tall and has long limbs, many people would not recognize him unless he looked closely, but that soldier’s forearms are weapons in themselves.
Therefore, if that devout soldier is thin, then there are very few sane people in the world.
“This once will do. “It will soon be winter, and then this expedition will be over.”
During the next expedition, we will have to reorganize the scouting party anyway.
At that time, I wouldn’t have the 444th squad leader in the scouting party.
Encred understood the platoon leader’s words.
There are not many fools who continue fighting in the winter.
Therefore, there was a high possibility that this war would stop after the fall.
There was no need to worry.
This is the kind of thing that happens often.
Getting called out as a helper for various things.
Although he lacks fighting talent, he is above average at other things.
The same goes for reconnaissance missions.
However, perhaps because I was away from the barracks due to an injury, none of my squad members were happy to see me leave.
‘I’m just the right person.’
It was not unfounded confidence.
If you take a wrong turn and die, you can repeat the day.
This mission will be more advantageous to you than anyone else.
Recognizing and avoiding danger was also his skill.
“It’s an order. “Squad leader four.”
The platoon commander said it was an order, but it sounded like he was asking for help.
Encred looked back.
Rem started sharpening the axe.
Ragna again expressed his opinion that he could go.
Will the last squad member be tested after all? I muttered over and over again.
‘The atmosphere is great.’
It seemed like if they got hit somewhere, they would all rise up together.
Was it like this originally?
I don’t think it was.
When I first joined the squad, I don’t think we were this involved with each other.
Since when did this happen?
‘Did you have a hard time when I was gone?’
Even Wangnuni shakes his head.
But what can we do with orders from superiors?
Even though my squad members were just leaving, they weren’t Encred.
“I guess I should go and come back.”
I said this after taking a deep breath.
It is a decision made from above. In the first place, protest was impossible.
Well, you could probably escape by any means necessary, but there was no need to do so.
Encred’s words sum up the atmosphere. It was natural.
No matter how humble he may be, he is the leader of this six-man squad.
“Do whatever you want.”
Rem hummed and snorted, then answered.
“Well, I said I could go.”
Ragna insisted until the end, but it had no effect.
Is it possible for a guy who gets lost even in the camp to be a scout?
Encred was even more amazed at how Ragna lived a wandering life.
Did you say you went all the way to the easternmost sea?
Did you end up there because you got lost? I had a reasonable question.
However, there was no need to ask that.
As always, Encred kept a reasonable distance from them.
If the other person doesn’t want it, don’t ask or argue. That’s squad leader Encred.
“Yeah, good.”
The 4th platoon leader spoke and turned around.
The boat walked lighter than when it arrived. A burden seemed to have been lifted from her shoulders.
While the platoon leader was leaving and taking a shower and resting, there was a small commotion within the barracks, starting with a trivial word.
“Are you continuing to practice what you learned?”
It started with Saxony, who was lying half-reclining on the bed, speaking.
Saxony’s bed is the innermost.
Encred is at the front.
Everyone in the barracks heard Saxony’s voice.
Encred nodded reflexively.
Since I had passed the repetitive day learning how to train my hearing from Saxony, I thought it was worth asking.
But when Rem heard that, he reacted displeased.
“What are you learning?”
In the meantime, Encred was taken into the hands of several squad members.
Little by little, I learned various things from Rem, Ragna, and the devout believer squad members.
They were all like a way to survive on the battlefield right away.
Encred studied hard, but was not able to master everything and only used the rough stuff.
There were many things that were difficult to learn perfectly.
At least the beast’s heart is now properly attached to the body.
But I haven’t learned anything from Saxony so far.
“What did you teach me?”
Rem asked, raising his upper body from lying down.
“Be persistent. “It helps.”
A fire-like fire burned in Rem’s completely ignored eyes.
“This bastard?”
“do not do that.”
Encred grabbed Rem’s shoulder, which was on fire.
“What did you learn from that sneaky bastard? “Well, if you learn anything, you’ll develop bad habits.”
“Heh.”
Saxony, who was listening to the conversation between Encred and Rem, let out a laugh.
“Uh, yeah, well, it’s time for you to die. It’s today. Do you want to become food for the monsters wandering in that plain? Right?”
Saxony was consistently ignored.
Encred sighed and grabbed Rem’s arm.
“Do it in moderation. “It’s not like fighting and killing everyone.”
“Don’t worry Mashu. “I will survive.”
No, that’s not what I meant.
“Who survives?”
“Oh, God, may I send up a foolish, faithless soul? “I will do so if you allow me.”
Ragnar and the devout squad members responded to Rem’s words.
“Stop, stop, stop. No matter how many times we fight, I will stop you. “Let’s not do anything pointless and don’t waste our strength.”
Encred wondered if it was right to carry out a reconnaissance mission.
Is it right to leave these behind?
“Don’t worry too much. Still, I don’t see the end in sight. “The weapons ended up clashing a few times.”
Kreis said, counting the silver coins in his pocket.
That’s the problem. That weapon a few times.
To others, it looks like a fight in which people kill each other.
Even though they are troublemakers, the commander does not throw them out.
reason? Naturally, this is thanks to his outstanding ability.
On the battlefield, these are definitely soldiers with superior combat power of more than 10 per day.
So, it is true that I am being left out of the reconnaissance group.
‘I’m not a power leak.’
But not these.
As soon as that thought occurs, Encred realizes his shortcomings again.
‘I have no talent.’
I also lost to a twelve year old kid.
Even if the child is a genius.
The adult, unable to properly bear the weight of the sword, stumbled and lost to the child holding the sword.
Pride isn’t the problem.
It’s not something to be frustrated about.
It’s just something that made me reflect on myself.
But did you give up?
no.
All I had to do was think about the situation over and over again and recognize myself accurately.
So is this the end?
Neither is that.
If you don’t have talent.
‘Someday.’
If one step is not enough, take half a step at a time.
All you have to do is not stop moving forward.
And Encred has not stopped walking even once.
For some reason, I felt like I couldn’t sleep, so Encrid picked up his sword and went outside.
I felt like I had to swing my sword and sweat a little before I could sleep.
Ragna, seeing this, got up and followed.
“It’s been a while, so let’s check your posture.”
“I have you?”
Rem wakes up later and says.
Their eyes met and a violent atmosphere exchanged.
It seemed like a whirlpool would form at the halfway point where our eyes met.
“If you do it consistently, it will help. “It’s more than just a stupid cut.”
Saxony said as he lay in bed.
The eyes of the two people who were looking at each other as if they were going to kill each other quickly turn to Saxony.
“What do you mean?”
Rem says.
“Knife cutting?”
Ragna continues.
“Didn’t you both say you would watch my posture?”
Encred stepped in between the three.
Finally, after comforting the two, Encred went out of the barracks.
I swung my sword again and again based on their advice and half nagging.
A sweaty day passes.
When the morning sun rose, we had to briefly change our affiliation to a reconnaissance platoon and go out.
I wasn’t too worried.
I didn’t even think it was that difficult.
After drenching in sweat, everyone’s discomfort seemed to have subsided.
After sweating and washing up near the stream, Encred also fell asleep refreshed.
* * *
“Company Commander, why did that friend join the scout corps?”
The fairy company commander said after seeing the 1st platoon leader standing near the perch.
“Get away from the perch. “If you fall, it could cause a fire.”
“yes?”
“sideways.”
“yes.”
The 1st platoon leader took a few steps to the side.
The company commander’s tent was taller and wider than regular tents. A perch was placed in the upper center and a light was lit.
Although it is crude, there is also a table for meetings.
The meeting was to decide on the company’s reconnaissance route.
In the meantime, the 1st platoon leader asked a question.
I only drank water.
The 1st platoon commander also serves as the company commander’s staff. It was a long-standing tradition in the Cyprus Division.
“I think a soldier who is quick-witted and knows how to make a living would be a good fit.”
“Yes, I see.”
It is not a judgment given much weight.
It is organized based on intuition.
There is no particular reason. If someone asks, you just have to answer.
Of course, the company commander’s judgment was correct.
A fairy’s intuition was sometimes sharper than a prophet’s words.
