29. I want to live too.
“Do you want to go further? “This is crazy.”
A grim-looking soldier standing close behind Encred said.
After the initial successful ambush, the scouts, who changed from Andrew’s Squad to Encred’s Squad, attempted two more ambushes.
The second battle involved a group of five soldiers, and the third battle involved a group of over fifteen soldiers.
Both were rough.
In the second battle, there was a highly skilled enemy soldier.
In the third battle, the number of opponents was large.
Meanwhile, the number of soldiers who survived was seven.
Two more were lost.
‘I can’t save you anymore.’
No matter what I did, I couldn’t do anything.
Encred knows that he is not a saint or a babbler.
It was the sound of a fairy tearing off a bone to repeat today that she would save the three who died here.
At least it was like this thanks to Encred’s performance.
Of course, our soldiers also fought bloody hard.
Some people survived, but some lost one eye.
Andrew also had a knife mark on his face.
A linen bandage was wrapped over his left cheek, a wound that would have been a good medal if he survived.
Despite this situation, Encred headed further inward.
It’s like an ignorant rush without thinking of a way out.
From a general perspective, it was crazy.
The soldier, who had a grumpy appearance, did not have good skills or experience.
Even in this situation, I did not completely lose my sense of direction.
He noticed that Encred was heading towards enemy territory.
Encred saw that and nodded inwardly.
‘Not bad.’
Although he may be lacking compared to Rem or other squad members, he is still a very useful talent.
He’s the kind of talent that makes you think he’d at least become a platoon leader if he decides to do so.
“From now on, you’ll be able to catch your breath.”
As Encred spoke, the grim-looking soldier frowned.
“I guess that’s not what it’s about?”
“As I said before, the protest is… … .”
“If you’re on your way to death, whether it’s a protest or something else, you’ll find a way to survive, even if it means putting a knife in the back of an ally, whether it’s a squad leader or something else. I am.”
This bastard is saying too many dangerous things.
How will I see your face when I return alive?
Even if you look at it, it doesn’t move at all. It was shameless.
It was worth it.
Should human life come first, or the mission?
It goes without saying, especially for someone like him who joins the army for a special purpose.
Andrew’s life and his own life must come first.
Encred raised his head, checked the sun’s position, and stopped walking.
Naturally, the ally also stops. Everyone listened to Encred and the grim-looking soldier.
Among the group of soldiers shaking their shoulders and catching their breath, Encred opened his mouth.
“If I go back now, I’ll die anyway. “The only enemies behind us are gathered together like a pack of crazy wild dogs.”
As he spoke, Encred loosened the protective gear on his hands.
The leather padded protective gear was definitely a useful item, but if I wore it for a long time, my hand muscles felt strained.
However, if you wear it loosely, it will definitely be dangerous during battle.
“How do you know that? “They probably don’t even know we exist, so how can they already block our escape route?”
The grim-faced soldier glanced at Encred taking off his hand protection, then frowned and said.
It seemed like he didn’t like Encred’s relaxed attitude at all.
Encred has already faced this moment dozens of times.
It was a day that was repeated dozens of times.
The enemy army is numerous and the moment they confirm the surprise attack, they will definitely cut off the retreat route. And very persistently.
I don’t know who the commander was, but it seemed like he didn’t want to show anyone that he had set up an ambush here.
It was always the same.
Among the tall grass, the group of friendly soldiers who had crouched low looked anxious.
Although I followed them blindly, listening to the conversation between the two made me feel like I was in the middle of a dangerous battlefield.
Still, no one steps forward easily.
I just pricked up my ears.
Encred glanced up again and calculated the time in his head.
In three or four hours, darkness will fall.
Then the way out will open.
But before that, I have to convince them here first.
It would be nice to push him down with force, but that’s not possible.
However, this is not a problem that can be solved through coercion.
This was the limit to the extent of coercion and violence.
Surprise, flight, ambush.

I had driven my squad members crazy to get here, but now it was time to wait.
As we wait, these questions arise.
There was no need to work hard to persuade him.
“Don’t you know that it’s too late since you’ve already come this far?”
That was right. It’s already overdue.
Coming back from here was even crazier.
The grim-looking soldier pursed his lips.
Why are there all these crazy bastards?
It looked like he wanted to say.
But instead of saying that, he rolled his eyes and asked.
“You must be thinking, right?”
Encred looked into the eyes of his opponent and made eye contact with his surrounding allies once in a while.
Everyone, including Enri and Andrew.
There was doubt and anxiety in their eyes.
When I regained my breath, I felt relaxed.
Leisure made them think.
You know it’s already too late.
Encred had no intention of explaining a reasonable reason.
In fact, I couldn’t even give a proper reason.
How can I say this?
You repeated today and saw the future?
In order to end that repetitive today, to move on to tomorrow, you have to listen to yourself unconditionally?
I really believe it.
So there was only one thing I could say.
“I want to live too.”
Although it was short, it was a word that contained everything.
It’s not like he’s struggling to die.
Longing for life.
Is it only for them?
Let everyone know that the same is true for you.
Of course, if Encred dies, you can repeat today again.
‘I will not stagnate.’
Whoever is the boatman on that river.
No matter how high and strong the wall in front of you is.
I have no intention of stopping.
For Encred, today was a mountain to climb and an object to conquer.
therefore.
“believe. “This is not the way to die.”
I will skip the explanation and gain everyone’s trust.
Based on their faith, I will escape today and face tomorrow, even if it means twisting the day.
Longing for life, repeated battles, anxiety that arises after the excitement subsides, in these situations, the human mind will want to grasp at straws.
To those people, Encred’s two short words gave them a deep sense of trust that cannot be expressed in words.
I also want to live, so I tell you to believe.
Also, they instinctively knew there was no other way.
What are you going to do here right now?
The enemy army is swarming here and there in the tall grass fields.
I can’t see any way to get out of here.
In times like this, the only way is to trust someone.
“I really want to live.”
Enri muttered.
Starting with those words, everyone looked at Encred and nodded.
The grumpy-looking soldier was calm, but there was no way for him to do anything.
Andrew was the most shocked of all.
Regardless of his skills, Encred seemed like a person with a complete personality.
Isn’t the current Encred similar to the person he dreamed he would be in the future?
‘Resolute even in this situation.’
He never gave up and gained everyone’s trust.
How wonderful this is.
“Me too, I believe it too.”
So Andrew also spoke. Before I knew it, I had raised my voice. He didn’t find it awkward at all.
A heat rose between the allies and seemed to reach Encred.
“Then everyone.”
Encred opens his mouth, receiving everyone’s attention.
“From now on, lie down like a mole and don’t make a sound until you get my signal.”
Once you’ve gained trust, it’s time to use it.
From then on, he led by example.
I fell flat on the floor and held my breath.
Everyone followed Encred.
I wonder what I should do other than run away right away, but I don’t know what to do, because we had shared something heated a little while ago.
It was a time when we needed to have faith, even if it was just for 5 minutes.
The grumpy-looking soldier was astonished as he watched a grass bug jump onto his nose and disappear.
‘This guy is incredibly resourceful.’
His skills in dealing with people are not average.
Was this the kind of skill you used to move that troublemaker squad?
It’s a natural thought.
Pusssssuk.
At that time, I heard the sound of stepping on the grass.
Everyone began to breathe carefully.
I felt popular around me.
It wasn’t that close.
The tall grass field is like a dense grass forest. It wasn’t easy to find people unless they were right in front of them.
It was a good place to hide.
The sound of grass being stepped on was loudly heard nearby.
The direction of sound flows from front to back.
Those who stopped could not see the situation.
If there was a bird flying above the tall grass and saw the current scene, something surprising was unfolding.
The grass in all directions moves and sways around the place where Encred and his group stop. They were all enemies.
However, they stopped in the center and moved to avoid the area where Encred Squad was hiding.
So, the place where Encred stopped now was like an uninhabited island, the only safe area among enemy soldiers.
Even if you’re lucky, you won’t be able to find such a gap in the enemy’s trajectory.
The goddess of luck didn’t just kiss, but poured out her blessings with all her might.
Of course, this wasn’t about luck.
This is a trick I learned after repeating myself like crazy.
When the sound of stepping on the grass became distant and the enemy’s location could no longer be discerned from the sound, Encred spoke again.
“Move again. “All troops advance in single file.”
It was time to move.
Encred straightened his crouched body and walked slowly until his numb legs recovered.
At the same time, I thought that the training of the five senses that I learned from Saxony was very useful.
Measuring distance and judging direction by sound.
It was not a skill that could be acquired through ordinary training, but Encred learned it by offering his head to an assassin, and by repeating the day in the grass, he was able to distinguish sounds.
‘I missed the second goal too.’
After repeating surprise attacks and escapes, let the enemy soldiers retreat from here.
It was the second key to his idea of an escape route.
Now the third and final one remains.
It needed help with time.
After my numb legs went away, I increased my speed a little.
Instead of showing their dissatisfaction, everyone followed suit.
Inwardly, everyone was surprised.
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like there were a lot of enemies around, so I was wondering how they could avoid it so well.
If you think about it, the aspects of the battle so far were also strange. Because they attacked as if they knew the enemy’s location.
The battle started with a surprise attack from our allies.
Thanks to this, I was able to fight from an advantageous position. In all of those battles, Encred took the lead and showed off his crazy skills.
He seemed like a guy who disregarded his own life.
Every member of the squad that follows him knows that Encred fought for his life. That he took risks at the forefront.
Among the quiet grass, a strange heat arises again.
It was the heat of the flame that bloomed in the chest of the surviving ally.
Encred didn’t feel the heat.
Instead, just think about the following.
‘Up to here.’
It was easy.
To be honest, it wasn’t difficult.
It wasn’t because it was difficult.
I have already experienced ‘today’ more than fifty times leading up to the present.
So this is a natural result.
Then why did I have to experience this ‘today’ more than fifty times?
It was all because of the next operation.
This side is the minority, and the other party is the majority.
The intention is also unknown.
There is only one thing to know.
The enemy commander does not want to let any of those who approach this place live.
The first few times, I tried to break through by biting my molars to secure an escape route.
Naturally, it failed every time.
Would having help from a squad member change the outcome?
It was an unthinkable sound.
After that, I changed my mind.
‘What if something more troublesome than catching us happens?’
The sun goes down. The sunset began to set before my eyes, and the orange light of dusk settled down.
As the sunset light illuminated the tall grass, I felt as if I had entered a lake glowing orange.
For now, it seemed like this place should be called Orange Pearl, not Green Pearl.
The sky was clear today and the sunset cast by the falling sunlight was extremely warm.
The sun quickly disappeared beyond the west.
And then darkness came.
It was time to take on the third goal of Encred’s chosen route.
