32. Dreams, reprimands, responsibilities
“The flagpole?”
“It’s okay.”
The company commander of the Principality of Azpen was not very satisfied with the current operation.
But what can a commander do when an order comes from above?
If I’m going to crack it, I’m going to crack it.
So, I was in the process of cleaning it up, and in the meantime, a small problem arose.
Some of Naulilia’s rats infiltrated the barracks and set it on fire.
Even though more than half of the troops were in ambush in the long grass field, the invasion was allowed.
No matter how much you don’t like it, the operation has already begun.
What was happening here was a matter of pride.
Failure was even more unacceptable.
“You should have been more thorough with your defenses.”
The owner of the flagpole said: At those words, blood appeared on the company commander’s forehead.
If you pull out your sword and hit his neck like this, the guy who will roll over in an instant will not be able to keep his mouth shut. But what can I do?
It was true that there was a hole in the unit’s perimeter.
“Sure.”
Flap!
The company commander said that and came out as if he had slammed the barracks door open with his hand.
He couldn’t understand this situation.
‘Does this make sense?’
Does the enemy notice this place? Okay, let’s say you can notice this.
But what next?
With a number of less than ten people, they pass by the troops unleashed on the tall grass and attack the main unit’s flagpole?
The company commander believed in his unit.
It was natural.
His nickname is Demon Company Commander.
It’s a nickname I got because I trained so hard.
His theory was that if you vomit blood on a regular basis, you won’t vomit blood and roll around on the battlefield.
This was the unit he raised.
‘Can they come through this?’
Although there are soldiers who are defeated in battle, there are no soldiers who fail to remain vigilant.
The company commander truly believed so.
But are you going to criticize your allies’ vigilance?
I couldn’t just do that.
The person who planned and executed this was no ordinary person.
For the courage to enter enemy territory with a small number of people.
The ability to survive against the platoon leader under his command.
All the way to the perfect ending of setting a fire and putting it out.
He’s a platoon leader, even if the fire spread behind him and he had no choice but to miss it.
‘Luck is also a skill.’
Azpen’s company commander, who wandered the battlefield for a long time, also knew the importance of luck.
The company commander spoke to the waiting adjutant.
“Call all commanders except the platoon leader who is out on duty.”
“Yes, sir.”
Although his company was under the battalion, it was a unit with a separate operational authority.
So, it was an independent company.
And in most cases, independent companies were given nicknames.
The name of this unit was ‘Gray Dog’.
In the Principality of Azpen, Gray Dog was a dog with gray fur and was famous for its tenacious personality.
A dog named Gray Dog had to somehow connect with the person he had chosen to solve his instincts.
Whether it was love or a fight.
Thanks to this, the Gray Dog unit was also called ‘tenacious lovers.’
Now the commander of the unit has taken a picture of the enemy reconnaissance squad leader whose name he does not know.
‘I will definitely catch and kill you.’
Gray dog, gray dog has decided on a target.
The company commander engraved his determination in his heart again and again.
I will definitely catch you and punish you.
Above his head, clouds began to form, probably the work of the shaman in the tent.
It looked like it was going to rain soon.
Most of the rain that has fallen recently was the work of the shaman currently inside the tent.
And this shaman was the core of this tactic.
Although I still didn’t like it, there was no doubt that this was an efficient operation.
If this operation had been absurd, the leader of the independent company, Gray Dog, or the unit called ‘The Tenacious Lover’, would not have participated in this operation even if he had been beaten to death.
A battlefield where victory is promised.
Although it is separate from the burning desire for revenge, I thought it was very boring.

“After accidentally discovering the enemy’s ambush, you accidentally entered the enemy’s main camp and accidentally set the enemy camp on fire?”

It sounds strange when you say it like this.
Instead of nodding, Encred added a condescending comment.
“Yes, it happened to be the result of what I thought was the right decision at that moment and what I did.”
The reconnaissance platoon leader blinked.
What is this friend saying now?
A guy whose age is similar to mine and who was lucky enough to become a squad leader.
A nerd who wields a sword whenever he gets the chance, even though his skills are poor.
That is the external evaluation of the troublemaker squad leader.
But if you listen to what he did now, what is this?
This is as much as I heard from Encred’s mouth.
The story I heard from the surviving squad member was even more shocking.
“Rumors cannot be trusted. If possible, I would like to learn more from your side.”
Before leaving, Andrew was so cocky that I was worried.
I was wondering if an accident might occur if I let this kid go like this.
The command of the reconnaissance team was forcibly taken away, but that was natural. No, I want to learn more.
Is this the Andrew I knew?
“If you look at his skills, I think he surpasses the level of a mid-level soldier.”
Next was Andrew’s nanny, Mac.
The scout platoon leader knew Mac’s skills.
I half trusted him and even entrusted Andrew with the scouting party.
It means that I was recognized by Mac.
And that too with skill.
“I knew a lot. “I did as I was told and this is what happened.”
The last one is Enri, the plains hunter.
The squad members’ evaluations were consistent.
I just believed and followed.
We won’t all tell lies together.
So this actually happened.
Encred took over command of the scouting party.
It is said that with only ten people, they set fire to the enemy camp and came back alive, avoiding the eyes of the enemy soldiers who were ambushed in the long grass field.
‘Does this make sense?’
It doesn’t seem to work, but they say they’ve already started a fire and figured out the enemy’s movements, so there’s nothing to say.
I’m trying to sum up everything I’ve heard, but I’m at a loss.
They say that they stopped in the middle of the enemy army and avoided it on their own.
They say that they moved through enemy territory in the dark and that no one caught them.
“Well, um, I guess I got really lucky.”
In the end, the reconnaissance platoon leader could only say this.
Encred thought that was appropriate.
I can’t say that I have memorized the enemy’s movements and position, thanks to today being repeated when I die.
“Yes, I was lucky.”
If this was luck, it really wasn’t ordinary luck.
Goddess Luck went beyond kissing to sleeping with him.
But there was really no explanation other than luck.
Since it wasn’t something to hide, rumors began to spread around the reconnaissance platoon.
Encred, the troublemaker squad leader, is said to be a lucky man, a man to whom Lady Luck entrusted a coin, and luck itself.
Or that he had used up all his luck on this reconnaissance mission.
Nothing happened on the way back to base.
While I was walking for half a day, it only rained briefly.
Rain fell in a clear sky.
Although it is rare, it can be seen occasionally.
And all the way back, Encred was engrossed in one thought.
‘Was it best?’
This is a question to ask yourself.
If ‘today’ was repeated a few times, wouldn’t it have produced different results?
No matter what happens, regrets remain. Encred realized that from a young age.
What is important is the choice and the process of making that choice.
‘I thought it was for the best.’
Since I could repeat today, I naturally thought differently.
Delusion and doubt as to whether it was really the best, or a lingering feeling that there might have been another option.
‘Only four.’
This is the number that came back together alive.
Five, including myself.
Half of the unit was killed.
The results posed a question to Encred.
Is this the best? Is this the only way to do it?
‘Five people died.’
Those five were not Encred’s family or friends.
I am just a member of the unit who was with me on a short schedule.
Nothing changes whether they exist or not.
It’s just that in that moment, that day, they were Encred’s responsibility.
The dream he had held in his heart for a long time, the belief that had led him upright until now, reprimanded him.
Was that really the best?
Couldn’t we have protected more?
‘What kind of knight do you want to be?’
It was Encred as a boy who was simply fascinated by articles and two letters.
The boy who was fascinated by the songs of the former knight and bard became an adult.
As time passed, Encred realized that he was the owner of a humble talent.
As I rolled through the battlefield, I realized my limitations.
Nevertheless, I did not give up my dream.
Even if that dream becomes worn out leather.
In the end, even if reality becomes a piece of cloth torn by a knife.
Because I never gave up.
Therefore, I could not end up being fascinated by the word ‘knight’.
A knight is one who protects, a knight is one who steps forward, a knight is one who shows what he means.
‘What kind of article will this be?’
By repeating today, Encred was able to step beyond his limits.
In that case, you will have to keep what you have realized and established by seeing with your own eyes and hearing with your own ears.
‘What kind of knight did I want to be?’
A dream torn and torn by reality becomes the word faith and reprimands it.
Encred accepted the reprimand.
By doing so, I decided to let the past go by.
Even if we could repeat today and save five more people, it is inevitable now.
That ‘today’ is already over.
It was foolish to dwell on it.
“This is what I saw.”
One of the soldiers walking together said.
“Whew, you’re alive.”
Enri, who was being supported from behind, muttered.
“So when you get back, are you going to run straight to that florist’s widow?”
“Wouldn’t we be able to go only after this battle is over?”
Enri said with a happy expression upon hearing Encred’s words.
His heart was filled with the joy of coming back alive, having overcome such hardships.
It was the same for everyone else.
This was especially true for the soldier who was a gangster.
He pondered over and over again what had happened the whole way.
How was he able to survive?
I thought I would die after living like a bully for the rest of my life, but somehow I ended up serving in the military.
Also, I happened to serve a master named Andrew.
And this reconnaissance mission.
He felt a lot.
The thug soldier, who was thinking about it again and again, limped on his injured leg and approached Encred’s side.
It wasn’t intentional, but I didn’t say a single word the entire way.
‘It was said that if you don’t know grace, you’re not a human being.’
This is what my older brother said to me when I was young.
Although he will soon die and never see him again, the words he said to him have become an indicator of his life.
Even though he lived a rough life, the gangster knew grace.
“I’m sorry for being rude. “I will repay you for saving my life when I get the chance.”
Encred glanced at the soldier who suddenly approached and spoke, then nodded.
Is it true that it saved your life?
In fact, if he was hit, he would have died, but it was the soldier’s luck that he survived.
In fact, this soldier has died many times over and over again today.
It was just that today, at that moment, the goddess of luck stayed for a moment.
“Do whatever you feel like.”
I answered indifferently and turned around, this time I saw Andrew and Mac.
“I’m indebted to you.”
Mac spoke first. It’s a more favorable look than ever before.
Andrew was even more than that.
“I think it would be nice to see you again next time.”
I thought he was an incredibly cocky brat, but his attitude has changed.
The eyes became polite.
Encred said, pressing his palm gently on his painful side.
“We’ll see each other again if we’re on the same battlefield. “The flower of the battlefield is.”
“It’s infantry.”
The infantry’s slogan was taken as a farewell message.
The reconnaissance platoon leader, who was watching from the side, approached.
“Everyone can return. The injured should go to the medical barracks and take care of themselves. Thank you all for your hard work. And that, no.”
The reconnaissance platoon leader was about to tell Encred about the achievements and rewards before turning around.
‘First of all, let’s start with the report.’
Haven’t I done something that I couldn’t believe even though I heard about it?
I don’t know if you will believe it or not, but I thought it was too early to talk about this.
“then.”
Seeing the pain in his side quickly subside, Encred decided that his condition did not need treatment and started walking right away.
It was time to return.
‘I guess everything’s okay.’
I didn’t have time to think about this until I was in the tall grass, but when it was time to return to the barracks, I wondered if my squad mates were really calm.
Did you get into a fight with another unit member?
Or they fought amongst themselves to the point of bloodshed.
Whatever it was, I think something happened.
The squad was not given the name Troubleshooter for nothing.
That was before we even arrived at the barracks.
Ta-ang!
A loud noise, reminiscent of metal meeting metal, struck my ears.
The hearing ability I learned and trained through Saxony shined.
I immediately found the source of the sound.
It was towards the main barracks.
Encred’s steps picked up speed.
As we approached the barracks, we saw people surrounding us.
And in the center, two people were seen holding an ax and a sword.
The location is in front of the troublemaker squad barracks.
The one holding the axe is Rem.
It was Ragna who held the sword.
