9th Circle Lord

# 4 Past and Present3

The next morning.

Soldiers departing from Viscount Tefes have arrived.

He moved the wounded and the body to the territory.

Duke decided to resolve Luther's situation quickly.

Luther is Duke's life savior.

I quickly grabbed my hand as I pulled over Mansa's arm.

“The Enex Merchant Guild is going to Chandler territory of the Olson Kingdom. Chandler is a southern province, but if he reaches Candel territory, he will reach northern territory. ”

“When do we leave? ”

“Lucky for you. They're leaving tomorrow morning. I made you a seat. ”

Duke builds his credit by serving as an escort for the current squadron of merchants.

His credit soon became a guarantee.

Luther thought he was good at helping him.

“You've lost. ”

“Let's not compare. If you don't want to hunt monsters, find the Koelo Mercenaries and give them my name. You're welcome anytime.”

I don't know what human connection will be.

Duke made a good impression on Luther and hoped to join him later.

Router, who found Enex Merchant Guild, received 10 gold for his tuition and stayed at the inn.

‘Let's not reveal magic, preferably. ’

If you used magic for no reason, it could be found in Vergne Tower.

For Luther, Vergne Tower was the object of mourning.

It taught me magic, but at the same time I spent my whole life on the battlefield.

The duty Vergne Tower had erased from him was harsh.

Luther will never enter the Horse Tower.

‘Don't even think about bragging more than you need to. ’

The summoned stone is noteworthy.

You must refrain from behaving prominently.

After completing his training, Mana Luther heads to the Armor Shop.

It was worthwhile to use black leather, but the leather equipment was clumsy.

I have to work as an escort mercenary from tomorrow, but I didn't intend to look decent.

Luther went to the armor store to buy equipment. He chose tanned leather armor.

I prepared my boots and took care of my dry weight in preparation for a long journey.

That night, Luther had a dream.

It was a farmer walking barefoot and sowing seeds.

The next morning.

The front of the tavern is busy today.

The drunks are brushed and the workers are busy moving and loading.

The size of the top was large.

Two wagons were teenagers.

The cart contains luxury items such as processed jewelry.

Luther thought this journey would not be easy.

‘It's a good prey for anyone to see. ’

I decided it was dangerous to go to Olson alone and joined the Merchant procession, which seemed to be a surprisingly demanding journey.

Luther confronted Choro's elder, who was in charge.

He was as cold an impression as the voice he introduced Zeppetora.

“Go in time for the Bahraini mercenaries. I won't forgive any unnecessary confusion. ”

“Let's cooperate and keep up the good work. ”

“Due to Duke's introduction, it would be better not to eat in his face. ”

Zeppeto suddenly left the horse for the last time.

Since then, Luther has encountered Bahrain, the captain of the Bahraini mercenaries.

Bahrain cares a lot about what Duke has to say.

However, like Luther, I thought this ride would not be easy.

“The Zeppeto Merchant Guild's nerves are in a lot of precious metals. So don't make me feel anxious. ”

“Sure.”

Since Bahrain, the Merchant Guild has announced its departure while finishing greetings with other mercenaries and snowmen.

We're finally heading to the Olson Kingdom.

Luther shifted his steps to his face.

The distance from Thepes to Chandler is a month, but a full moon to Candel is enough.

So Luther received fewer paychecks than the other mercenaries.

Receive 5 more when you arrive safely at 10 gold.

The other mercenaries are 15 gold and 20 gold upon completion of the Athlete's Charge.

It was obvious that it was an escort mission that was twice as different but had fewer days than other mercenaries.

When you get there safely, you're 15 gold. The mercenaries are 35 gold.

However, it was under the assumption that they arrived safely everywhere.

The world is constantly in turmoil and does not know when and where enemies will emerge.

The first week was peaceful.

However, the atmosphere changed as we crossed the borders of the Olson Kingdom.

The Halluin republic, which includes the territory of Tefes, has not shaken its security significantly in clutter.

But Olson was different.

Olson fled to war throughout the country.

The reason was a royal quarrel.

Four princes are fighting fiercely to become emptied kings.

It was only a matter of time before the kingdom was divided, so the security of the kingdom could not stand.

Luther was well aware of that and knew about the future.

In the end, Olson ends up with the victory of the prince.

Since the conditions were the best among the princes, it was natural for the strong to be the winner.

Luther knew the future, but she was grave about what would happen with him.

Whoever wins doesn't know.

I just want you to leave yourself alone.

The bloody youth poured into the future.

My body is young, but my mind is rotten.

All he wants now is to get to the North without any ride.

However, Olson's harsh surroundings did not leave him alone.

It was precisely the Merchant Corps that contained him.

Two groups are confronting the open wilderness.

One was the Enex Merchant Union to which Luther belonged, and the other was a hundred thieves made up of horsemen.

Chief Tubsukburi Janghan came forward and shouted.

“Leave your stuff when you say it well! ”

Zeppeto's face was distorted.

“Goddamn deserters! ”

As he said, the bandits were wearing military uniforms.

It is forbidden for a soldier belonging to one country to touch the merchants of another country.

However, they didn't see the place, making it look like a thief without the hands of the state.

“They're gonna fry in the shit! ”

He asked Bahrain, who murmured about it.

“What are you going to do? ”

“We have to negotiate. ”

Bahrain was reluctant by the bandits.

The opponent did not appear to be placing an ordinary bet.

First of all, I have Polearm in my horseman.

Polearm was a high-end weapon with a large blade at the end of a long ledge.

It's just tricky to handle. It's a weapon that can be used to make battlefield progress.

I have nothing to look at.

Bahrain was adamant.

“I think it would be better to step back from the moderately concessional level. ”

Then Zeppeto jumped.

“What do you mean! Do you know what we're loading? You want me to hand the jewels over to those scumbags? ”

“If you don't give up, everyone dies. ”

“I'd rather die than give up on them! ”

Zeppeto was determined.

Luther, who was watching the conversation between the two of them, shook his tongue as the situation worsened.

‘Don't just back off. ’

He empathized with what Bahrain had to say.

If you know how to handle Polearm, you've had some war food from the regular army.

If you fight with those who are not mismatched, but the numbers prevail, you are almost defeated.

The disputes between Zeppeto and Bahrain have grown longer.

But the bandits were impatient.

“These bastards are going to save your life, you're sowing it! Let's kill them all! ”

“Waaaah!”

The bandits roar at the command of the Beard Master.

Bahrain, which had been lining up its carts to cover them, immediately issued an order when things went wrong.

“Draw a protest and prepare for battle! ”

I have prepared a crossbow with mercenaries.

Crossbows maximize the effect as the distance is closer.

The opponents are horsemen with polearms, but the mercenaries are also exhausted.

Enemies are coming.

Merchants hide under the bottom of the cart and tremble, mercenaries sweat cold.

Argh! Argh!

Luther, who had no crossbow, drew his sword alone and began to grind the day.

‘How many will I kill? ’

How many do I have to kill to make it sound right?

Horsemen equipped with Polearm are terrifying, but Luther is not relaxed and free.

With such whimsy, I cannot overpower myself.

In the future, he was surrounded by two Swordmasters and asked to die.

Compared to then, these bandits are a level of flirtation.

A Bahraini who looked around the mercenaries with a nervous face found Luther.

The question arose in his eyes, but disappeared quickly in less than a year.

Now is not the time to blink.

Bahrain gave the order as the enemy approached the nose.

“Open fire! ”

Tatata Tang!

A crossbow was poured out towards the front, as the protests tightly pulled.

Hihihin!

The bandits hit by the arrows fall one after the other.

However, they were not being held still.

As soon as he approached, horsemen who were scattering all around turned around and occupied the rear of the cart.

“One more time! ”

Tatata Tang!

The loading of the crossbow was twice the limit.

I couldn't pull the protest because I approached too quickly.

Bahrain has drawn its sword.

“Kill them! ”

“Waaaah!”

The mercenaries began to fight the bandits with a shout.

However, it was difficult to deal with bandits wielding polearms while controlling the distance.

On the contrary, bandits use a long range of polearms to ravage mercenaries.

There were a lot of numbers there, so I didn't think I'd be able to avoid the extermination.

Luther was very offensive.

The thief in front of his eyes threw out his tongue and harassed him.

“Uh-huh. You look cute. Let's taste your ass. ”

It was a situation I wouldn't dare imagine in the future.

He was the incarnate of the battlefield, the leader of death.

But the thief, Naburin, dares to rattle himself.

Luther began to retribute.

After beating Strength and Hast, I swung my sword.

I cut off exactly the front leg of a black horse.

Hihihin!

When the howling horse sits still, the unbalanced bandit is brushed to the ground.

Luther approaches the grumpy bandit and shoves the sword into his anus.

“Turn it off!”

The thief's screams shake the wasteland.

The bandits who witnessed the wretched death were furious.

“Son of a bitch! I will kill you!”

Luther looks at those bandits with cold eyes.
