290. Duties and responsibilities (2)
“Request, I will request it!”
The rain had stopped, but the humid air remained. I had to wake up feeling uncomfortable every morning thanks to the wet and thick sweat.
The discomfort got worse around lunchtime.
As the sun rose overhead, the humidity increased and a subtle heat was added.
The village chief shouted urgently as he cut through the humid midday sunlight, discomfort, sweat, and heavy, stale air.
“I’ll give you any amount!”
The bandit who seemed to be the leader laughed and laughed.
He was telling me to attack him if he was going to attack me.
When the mercenary leader didn’t answer, the village chief’s face distorted. It felt like tears were about to flow.
“please”
Some of the nervous villagers looked at the mercenaries with eager eyes.
Still, there was no answer.
The captain swallowed a short sigh.
‘Don’t you accept it?’
Encred’s gaze also turned to the captain.
The originally requested work was completed this morning, and all the mercenaries had to do was leave.
At that time, a mercenary with good eyes felt the gaze and caught the thief who had come out to scout.
Without questioning him, the thief told him the location and number of his group.
They weren’t famous, but there were a lot of them.
There were roughly over a hundred people.
Including all the villagers and the mercenaries, the number of combatants numbered at most thirty.
The difference in number was more than double.
The mercenary leader was worried.
“Mercenaries are people who sell swords for gold coins. They do not fight without a request. It is not a request received in advance, and this is not a request, but salvation. There is no loyalty like that.”
For a mercenary, he was loyal and not a bad person.
As a mercenary leader, that was truly true.
Therefore, his choice was valid.
There is no reason to risk your life and fight.
“That’s wise.”
The leader of the bandits inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Why not?
If the mercenary gang decided to attack, the bandits also had to take the damage.
No matter how well we fight, more than ten of them will die.
No, more than twenty people die.
The captain also seemed to be a formidable man.
Apart from winning, the damage is great.
If it weren’t for that, it would have all been wiped out long ago.
If the guy who went out to scout in the first place had not been caught, the mercenaries would have left and started.
“Release me.”
At the captain’s words, the subordinate mercenary released the captured thief.
“No, where is this law?”
“You’re killing us all!”
“please!”
“why!”
“I’ll give you everything I have! I even have jewelry!”
A villager shouts. One of them tried to grab the leg of his pants, but he had no luck.
puck!
“If you come near, I will cut you.”
One of the mercenaries spoke in a bloody tone. It seemed like there was no hesitation in cutting.
In fact, the mercenary was being loyal just by siding with the bandits here and not sharing the village’s wealth.
The mercenary leader was wise.
“Stop. If you come closer, we will draw our weapons. Everyone, step back.”
The captain quickly sorted out the situation.
The mercenaries were defeated on one side, and the bandits watched in silence.
Encred was caught in the middle.
Since he had also come as a member of the mercenary corps, he could have been left out, but when he turned his gaze indifferently, a wild little boy came in.
A crazy little girl who wants to leave the village after three years and become a herbalist.
“Uncle, let’s go.”
What a brazen kid he is.
Even though he begged for his life, his eyes looked everywhere and even waved the back of his hand towards him.
It wasn’t a face of giving up. He must be thinking of running away.
Encred has dealt with many thieves. He had quite a bit of experience. So I found out.
Everyone will die. Nothing will change even if I add my hand. So should we stop helping?
Should I turn away and turn away from myself?
Should I give up what I wanted to protect?

What if I turn around here? What if you turn away?
I can not do anything.
How many times have you just watched someone because of their lack of skills?
Should it be like that this time too?
I don’t know. Until now, I had ignored her and turned my eyes away knowingly, but this time, why did it hit her heart?
“Hey, let’s go.”
A mercenary tapped my shoulder from behind. Although he had a dirty look, he was a very affectionate friend.
A friend who helped the villagers with their pastimes.
But I have no hesitation in turning back. That is the basic knowledge of swordsmen living on this continent.
It is very rare for someone to find a place to die. He could say that a guy who knew he was going to die but still held on was really stupid.
If it’s not because of gold coins, but because of the bold romanticism of protecting the weak.
‘I think I’ll be called crazy.’
I knew it even if I didn’t say it.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t turn back.
If you take a step back from here, if you ignore even these things, you will never be able to move forward again.
I felt that way.
“hey.”
Was it because the goddess of luck took pity on him that he survived until now?
But I don’t think you’ve ever been kissed?
If you’re going to do it already, you’ll have a lot of luck.
That’s a funny thought.
Fight, fight, shoot.
It rained again.
“Enki, you bastard.”
The mercenary leader was angry.
After that, what he said stayed in my mind for a long time.
“They won’t die. Even if you leave them alone, they won’t die. Why kill a group of people like this? If you’re like me, would you kill someone just to get something out of it? Are you a pervert? I won’t kill you. If I don’t kill you, at most I’ll sell it to a slave trader. It would be better for them to live as a slave! ”
Life in a swamp town wasn’t all that rich, other than living.
But I can’t say slaves are better.
“I tried to get it from our mercenary unit, but you stupid bastard.”
The captain withdrew his foot.
I couldn’t help it. It’s not like we’re going to take him away even if we beat him up just to break his stubbornness, and it’s not like he’s going to make such a fuss about it.
Moreover, he is just a guide using a sword and is not a great talent.
He was just such an idiot. He is an idiot who cannot predict the future.
“why?”
The village chief asked with eyes full of absurdity. It was a word that came out more than out of gratitude, because it was so absurd.
“Do you see the guy standing third to the left of the guy over there?”
“Well, I can see it.”
“My enemy.”
Actually, it was my first time seeing it.
The thief blinked at the word enemy. He studied Encrid’s face. I don’t think he’d forget someone who looks like that.
“Are you in a mining town?”
I don’t know what he’s saying, but Encred nodded.
“f*ck, there are all the cubs that survived there.”
It seemed like they were doing evil things everywhere, not just here.
Then I guess I can kill them all.
You may die before you kill them all, but shouldn’t you first strengthen your mind and resolve?
“really?”
The village chief asked, whispering in my ear.
“Fake, joke.”
“……Are you crazy?”
Encred laughed.
We decided to fight anyway, so why does it matter?
The village chief was so absurd that he didn’t even think of catching the mercenary group that was leaving.
“That bastard is not our responsibility.”
The mercenary leader said,
“He’s going to be left alone?”
The bandit leader asked again.
The mercenary army retreated.
Among them, two mercenaries turned around.
“Bloody hell, what’s wrong with you kid?”
“Ger?”
“I can stay. This bastard catches my eye. If he messes up, I’ll have to take him out and fry him.”
“You son of a bitch, if that’s the case, I should stay.”
“Pete, you too?”
“I feel sorry for him because he is like a younger brother.”
The captain’s brows narrowed. In his heart, he wants to stay, but if he does so, the mercenary army will be decimated.
The captain said that it was the end for the two of them and that anyone who wanted to stay longer should leave the mercenary unit.
That was it.
Ger and Pete.
Two mercenaries remain.
“I’m older?”
When I spoke to Pete, the swordsman with thick eyelids and an ugly appearance, but who loved children, answered.
“If you look at it at face value, I am by far the older brother.”
Encred chuckled at those words.
Although it was only about a month, the two mercenaries who got to know Encred were unable to ignore him.
Afterwards, Encred drew his sword and blocked the thief’s path.
“Man, are you crazy?”
It would be a good thing if he was sold as a slave, but when he saw the dog-like bastards who had been looking at the child with eyes like a dog’s penis, the little boy, who probably didn’t have a very good future waiting for him, asked.
“Are you in love, kid? It’s polite to watch a man fight.”
In response to the child’s question, Ger stepped forward and said something.
“what.”
The child couldn’t even hear.
“About halfway.”
Encred roughly answered the kid’s comment that he was crazy and raised his sword.
Anyway, it’s crazy.
Is there anything to be gained by protecting them? does not exist.
Are you going to get any medal for shaking like this? This sounds like a no-brainer.
The kingdom’s nobles won’t even know something like this is happening here.
Aren’t they busy filling their bellies?
Encred also knew nobles.
What if you ask a nearby territory to subdue the bandits?
Let’s say there is a truly good lord and he listens to his words.
This would only be possible after everyone in the village had already become slaves, corpses, and sick people and had been sold or buried here and there.
Above all, the lord of this area is not the kind of person who would send soldiers to catch a group of thieves whose whereabouts he does not know.
In conclusion, if you leave it alone, everyone will die. No one but En Creed himself would step forward.
“I could sell that too. It’s even.”
The bandit leader was rather pleased.
Encred struggled.
He used every means at his disposal to cut down three of them, and the fourth was hit on the head with a club, causing his posture to collapse.
Ger and Pete also fought like crazy. Ger powerfully swung an axe, and Pit stabbed a long spear, creating holes in the bodies of several thieves.
“If you don’t plan on getting caught like this, everyone, come to your senses!”
There was a brave cry from the village chief.
Afterwards, he died after being hit on the head by a flying axe.
Still, we fought.
Some residents took up arms. He rushed in with a long poker and swung a chopping ax.
“Throw it!”
A little boy who dreams of becoming an herbalist also played an active role. He picked up stones and threw them with children who were younger or one or two years older than him.
It seemed like anything could happen. If I was lucky, it seemed like I might have a chance to escape.
What if the mercenary leader changes his mind and attacks?
That didn’t happen.
“Shoot.”
Pibibi bibing!
Ten bowmen, Pete was killed by an arrow. Unfortunately, an arrow pierced his neck.
“Stick.”
Because of that, I couldn’t even hear what the final greeting was.
Ger and Pete, didn’t they know they were going to die? I knew it, but there was a twist.
Ger also established a strategy.
Just before the fight, he said that if he found an opportunity, he would take the bandit leader hostage.
This is a Ger that never loses in a one-on-one match even in a mercenary unit. It seemed plausible.
Pete had quick hands and quick feet, and he used to fight like lightning.
One shakes and one catches the captain. It was an operation.
That failed.
The boss was strong and skilled.
When Ger saw an opportunity and rushed in, he raised a sword and struck the axe.
Kang!
Sparks flew and Ger’s expression crumpled.
The opponent’s skills were much better than expected.
“f*ck.”
Ger was in despair. Pete held on and went first, putting an arrow in the back of his neck, so hope quickly disappeared.
“You bastards!”
Ger rushed in with his last efforts.
“Where?”
The bandit leader did not let down his guard.
He was not excited and did not move his men to attack and lift the siege.
Running away is also not tolerated.
In the end, it happened.
Ger’s head is cut off by Domok’s sword.
“Did you think you would win? What on earth were you hoping for?”
Encred eventually resisted, but the leader strangled him with his bare hands.
Before I knew it, I saw the sword that had slipped out of my hand and was lying on the muddy floor.
Also, I saw a little boy who ended up running to one side and had his head broken and blood pouring out.
“He’s dead too.”
Encred’s mouth opened without realizing it, and the leader followed Encred’s gaze and answered.
“It was very rebellious. Even if you touched it, it would bite and make a fuss.”
The thief’s tone of voice was calm. It is a world of death and killing. It was worth it.
