Worthless Regression Chapter 19

Subjugation Request-3

“you. What is your name?”

While moving with Unheeryong, Seongmin Lee asked a question to the apprentice mercenary following him.

Although they had been working together for about half a day, Lee Seong-min did not know the name or age of the apprentice mercenary. The only voice I heard was a gasp from exhaustion.

“yes? I… “You mean?”

The apprentice mercenary looked at Lee Seong-min in surprise. His face was very dirty, with a lot of sweat and dirt. Beyond the mess, fine wrinkles were visible. It was a fine wrinkle that looked more like a trace of hard work than a trace of time.

“Who else but you?”

Seongmin Lee asked back. Un Hee-ryong glanced at Lee Seong-min who was talking to the apprentice mercenary, but he did not stop him. Seongmin Lee grumbled as he looked at the hesitant mercenary apprentice.

“It’s not like revealing the name is a big secret. Why are you so hesitant?”

“ah… sorry.”

“There is nothing to be sorry about. “I’m not even a member of the mercenary guild.”

Seeing that he was so depressed, I was able to guess roughly. It looks like either Unheeryong or Renir has been grinding against it all the time. Maybe the two of them were together. In fact, not only the two of them, but also the mercenary guild would have received a lot of criticism.

“so. “What the hell is your name?”

“brown… “It’s called brass.”

Brass answered while bowing his head. Seongmin Lee briefly clicked his tongue at the passive appearance of Brass. It wasn’t a very nice sight, but I could understand it. This is because Lee Seong-min was like that when he was a G-class mercenary.

“Brass. To be honest, I am not confident that I can protect you when the orcs come.”

Brass’ face turned white at those words.

“Please choose. “Either run away or follow me.”

What Seongmin Lee was discussing was reality. Currently, Lee Seong-min’s inaction is between second-rate and first-rate. I was confident that I would sacrifice my body in the fight against the orcs, but I honestly did not have the confidence to fight while protecting Brass.

‘I don’t think Unheeryong will help me.’

Un Hee-ryong was paying no attention to the conversation between Lee Seong-min and Brass. Lee Seong-min’s first impression of Un Hee-ryong was kind and favorable, but such first impressions are usually relative. Just because he treated Lee Seong-min kindly and hospitably, there is no guarantee that Un Hee-ryong is a kind and hospitable person.

“escape… Chi… ”

Brass hesitated. He said he would choose, but Lee Sung-min knew that Brass would not run away. Of course, even if Brass runs away, Lee Seong-min will not catch him.

But where will you go if you run away? Living in the forest makes no sense, and eventually you have to return to Zenomia. The problem is that Brass does not have the skills to return to Genomia. Even if you get lucky and return, what excuse will you give to the mercenary guild?

“escape… “You can’t hit it.”

Of course so. Even if I return to Zenabis safely, I will receive all kinds of abuse from the mercenary guild. The reason Lee Seong-min recommended Brass to choose even though he knew about it was, “Then. Even if you die, don’t blame me.”

It was to create comfort for oneself. It was Brass who said he would follow rather than run away. Seongmin Lee gave freedom of choice. Even though the answer was an obvious choice.

I was lucky. We didn’t encounter any orc patrols along the way. Unheeryong, Seongmin Lee, and Brass arrived at a place quite far from the orc village. Lee Seong-min took out the signal gun he received from Do Sang-ryang.

Lee Seong-min had also used it several times in his past life. When you are scattered in a wide hunting field, signal flares are very useful. When you find what you were looking for, when you pull out a monster, when you ask for help, and.

When dying.

The reason for setting off a signal when dying is simple. This means asking for the body to be collected. In the case of Lee Seong-min, the flare was not set off while he was dying. That’s because he died in an instant, without any time to spare. Since he died after entering an undiscovered dungeon in the first place, no one would have come even if he had fired a signal flare.

‘It’s not for nothing that other mercenaries are coming.’

I didn’t think there was anyone with that much personality. You might not know it if they started out as colleagues, but mercenaries are not people of character enough to come to help after seeing a signal fired by someone in a large forest.

Bright red smoke billowed upward.

“Do you really think the orcs will come here?”

Unheeryong asked. Lee Seong-min, who was watching the rising smoke, turned his head and saw Un Hee-ryong.

“Op… “He will come.”

I was trying to confirm, but then changed to an ambiguous direction. Lee Seong-min knew from his past life that the orcs would definitely come, but Lee Seong-min would be different in the eyes of Unheeryong.

Orcs have a clear concept of territory. If something goes wrong in my area, I definitely come to check on him. Because their way of thinking is extremely simple, they will not think that the flares fired here are traps to lure them out.

‘If we had enough people, we would at least set a trap.’

It is not easy for the three of us to set up a trap that will put the Orcs in trouble. Even if you decide to rush in, it will take a long time, and if you procrastinate like that and the night falls, you will find yourself in a dilemma.

Let’s say you have enough time and succeed in digging a trap. What should we do with the loss of physical strength that occurs as a result of doing so?

“Let’s hide.”

After seeing red smoke rising high into the sky, Lee Seong-min said. Seongmin Lee took out a space pocket from his arms.

“that… ?”

Unheeryong looked surprised. His face said that he had never thought that Lee Seong-min would also have a subspace pocket.

“I happened to have the opportunity to save it.”

Seongmin Lee answered that way and took out a large water bottle from his subspace pocket. Then he poured water on the dirt floor. The soil mixed with enough water became mud.

“What are you trying to do?”

“We will apply mud on our bodies to cover up the smell.”

“Oh oh. “Good idea.”

Unheeryong let out an exclamation. Seongmin Lee first rolled around in the mud and got mud all over his body. After that, Brass rolled around in the mud, and finally, Unheeryong spread mud all over his body.

“Contrary to his age, Sohyeop seems to be very experienced.”

“… “I learned it from my teacher.”

“You are a great teacher.”

Unhee-ryong glanced at the subspace pocket that Seong-min Lee had in his arms and answered. Lee Seong-min remembered Un Hee-ryong’s gaze.

Brass’ body, lying flat on the floor, is shaking. It’s natural to be scared. Seongmin Lee ignored the brass and assembled the spear he took out of the subspace pocket and placed it next to him.

“Are small groups using spears?”

“yes.”

“Right.”

After asking that question, Unhee-ryong said no more. Seongmin Lee raised his guard and lowered his breathing. Brass was lying between Lee Seong-min and Un Hee-ryong, and it was as Lee Seong-min intended.

Seongmin Lee does not trust Unheeryong.

The gaze with which Un Hee-ryong looked at the subspace pocket was a gaze that Seong-min Lee was familiar with. avarice. Unheeryong’s gaze contained deep greed. He shouldn’t trust a guy with eyes like that.

“Kruk!”

I hear a sound.

About a dozen orcs were on guard and approaching the place where the smoke from the signal flare was coming from. Lee Seong-min, lying face down beyond the thick bushes, checked the equipment of the approaching Orcs. They all have sturdy physiques and are equipped with weapons, albeit crude ones. These are young Orcs who can be said to be the main force of the village.

‘I said there were about 50 orcs in the village. If we say that half of them are women and old and young guys… Quite a few people came out.’

Orcs are a completely male-dominated society. Female orcs play the role of seedlings, not warriors. Female Orcs can’t even fight properly.

The same goes for old orcs. Orcs grow quickly and maintain a young body for a relatively long time, but then they age quickly. Orcs have no respect for elders. There is no filial piety. Old orcs are surplus manpower that fills up the village’s population, and are emergency food used in harsh situations.

Orcs are a barbaric race that preys on fellow orcs.

‘Though it would be ideal to rob an empty house… Even if there were only female orcs and old orcs left in the village, things would be very easy.’

The burden increased as more than a dozen young Orcs appeared, but once they were brought out, the operation was a success. The mercenary guild’s request is the annihilation of the orc village.

“Let’s go.”

“for a moment.”

Un Hee-ryong stopped Lee Seong-min.

“How about sending the porter out first?”

“… yes?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to send out the porter first to attract attention, and then attack us later?”

Unhee-ryong’s suggestion was reasonable even though it was not acknowledged. If you send Brass away, the orcs will naturally kill Brass. In the meantime, their nerves will be distracted, and if Lee Seong-min and Un Hee-ryong attack the gap, they will be able to quickly annihilate them.

Brass’s complexion turned white. Brass’s lips tremble. You may feel like screaming, but… Brass couldn’t scream. This is because Un Hee-ryong’s hand had already approached and covered Brass’s mouth.

“… ”

Seongmin Lee was silent. He did not have the loyalty to care for Brass’s life in this situation. But that didn’t mean he wanted to blindly agree to push Brass to his death.

In the end, Lee Seong-min was also a no-class person.

“Is there really a need for that?”

“This way is efficient.”

“I’d rather go out first.”

Seongmin Lee said. Brass’s eyes widened at those words, and Unhee-ryong stared at Lee Sung-min’s face. As Lee Seong-min received that gaze, he became convinced once again. This means that Un Hee-ryong is by no means a good person.

“Please do so.”

Unheeryong said. Seongmin Lee ignored Brass’ gaze and took a deep breath. The number of orc warriors is thirteen.

Can you do it?

Should be.

Pointless nonsense, pointless generosity. No, in this case, is it a virgin? Well, it’s not like there’s a big relationship. It’s not like we’re friends. It’s the same no class, that’s all.

There is no loyalty to protect.

Even though I said that, if Brass is attacked by an orc during the fight. Seongmin Lee would have helped Brass.

Lee Seong-min was that kind of person.

Seongmin Lee runs out through the bushes. Jahashingong boils my inner strength. The energy within the dantian boils and spreads throughout the body. The truth is this: If Lee Seong-min had not received help from Wi Ji-ho-yeon, he would not have tried to help Brass. This was the kind of favor that Seongmin Lee could bestow. He gives favors that he can afford and that do not harm him.

It wasn’t just goodwill. There is meaning in stepping forward like this and showing your skills first.

When the orcs looked back at Lee Seong-min, who had jumped out from beyond the bushes, Lee Seong-min, who had used the lightning spell, had already pierced the neck of a nearby orc with his spear. The orc died without even being able to scream. Seongmin Lee retrieved the stuck spear with just the movement of his arm and swung the spear towards the head of a nearby orc. Wow! The orc’s skull shattered with a dull sound.

“Kwieeek!”

“Quek! “Quaagh!”

The orcs scream. Seongmin Lee took a few steps back and took a stance. The orcs did not hastily attack Lee Seong-min, who suddenly appeared. No matter how unintelligent and stupid they were, they were not foolish enough to blindly attack Lee Seong-min, who jumped out of the bushes and killed two orcs in an instant.

The orcs are slowly approaching. Those at the forefront were young and brave. They contorted their faces, showing their fangs, showing their murderous intent towards Lee Seong-min. The tightly held weapon is thrust forward menacingly.

Seongmin Lee held the spear tightly with both hands. The spear is long. Being long has the advantage of being able to attack the opponent first if there is enough distance. That is the basis of spearmanship. How do we utilize this distance and how do we maintain it?

The trick of singing is simple. All you have to do is kill your opponent before they enter the street.

That was Wijihoyeon’s explanation. It’s easier said than done. What Wijihoyeon says is simple is by no means simple for Lee Seong-min. Lee Seong-min and Wi Ji-ho-yeon’s talents are the difference between heaven and earth.

“Kaaah!”

The orc runs out. Seongmin Lee’s eyes widened. Lee Seong-min’s arms that held his spear gained strength.

Chuhonchangbeop Samsik Samsik, lightning strike division.

Puff puff! The spear pierces the chest of the three charging orcs. I lacked strength. No, is it timing? It was due to physical immaturity rather than a lack of internal energy. Although we succeeded in piercing and recovering the chests of two animals, we were unable to completely pierce the chest of the last one.

‘It’ was intended. Immature singing style. The person who revealed his intentions was Unheeryong, who was hiding in the bushes. It was shown so that one can check the level of martial arts according to the unfolded chosik. This leaves an ‘impression’ on Unheeryong.

Will there be an opportunity to utilize it or not? Lee Seong-min was good either way.

An eclipse of the Chuhon singing technique, one blow is unleashed. Accelerate your body by sliding the hand holding the spear, and hit the spear with your left palm. Wow! The spear, which was halfway stuck, completely pierced the orc’s body.

‘I killed five. What’s left… ‘

eight. The bushes behind Seongmin Lee shook.

“Let me help you!”

Unheeryong. That obnoxious bastard shouted in a voice full of excitement.
