Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Chapter 8: One Day of Urban Initiation Border Protection Officers (Part 2)

After noon, Cilentium Administrative District, Twenty-first Regiment Garrison

Now this place is wrapped up in strong enthusiasm, despite the still cold season.

Putting herself in a harsh, hot and painful space where the sweet air earlier was a lie, Hal corrected her posture.

"Be careful! Salute Lord Border Guardian!!

On the decree of Quintus, we send an imperial salute to Hal on the stage where the soldiers simultaneously put their hands on his chest. Hal managed to smile and raise his voice as he felt something slightly irritated by the sight.

"It is this rigorous training that lives in action! Today's training is for tomorrow!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"So, we start individual combat training, each, split into two rows... ready? All right, here we go!

Looking satisfactorily at the soldiers who responded powerfully to Hal's words, when Quintus issued the decree to begin training, the soldiers ran out with a simultaneous roar.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

A Northern Legion soldier who meets the wooden sword violently and fights by hitting a simulated shield knitted with a willow branch.

In intense combat training, sometimes people bleed or faint, but such people are quickly taken out of the training area by the opponent and the ambulance personnel for treatment in a safe place.

Because of the temper, or the irreparable, he does not leave as one, and the wounded also return to training only after a temporary break, waving the wooden sword and meeting the shield.

"... I'm getting a lot better..."

"Yes, it's a training occasion!

In a tone that Hal was impressed with, Quintus answered with a face that didn't seem like a lot.

A call already existed that said Imperial Soldiers, Fried Warriors, Oran Warriors, Dongzhao Samurai, etc., but Cilentium soldiers gathered from Oran and Cliffonam tribes to fight in imperial-style training and equipment have recently been called “Northern Legion Soldiers”.

Using Imperial weapons made with great, powerful and high technical skill, they Northern Legion soldiers were gradually becoming prominent from the surrounding area.

In fact, the Northern Legion soldiers, when forming the Cilentium Alliance, are winning a mock battle against the brave Alpecio warriors led by the Fried Warriors and Chief Alpecio, whom Bergan has led.

He has also been active in the surrounding bandits, bandit sweeps, and the extermination of Warcraft for a long time, even showing his presence to his surroundings and allied tribes.

As a result, it has grown in popularity and strength, combined with being made up of locals, and the Northern Legion soldiers are now seen as the most elite under the leadership of Border Guardian Hal Akircius.

Currently, the soldiers in Cilentium

Twenty-first Regiment, 5,000 Northern Regiment soldiers, 2,000 auxiliary cavalry.

Twenty-third Regiment, 5,000 Northern Regiment soldiers, 1,000 auxiliary cavalry soldiers, 1,000 tribal soldiers.

1,000 Urban Guard Imperial soldiers, 1,000 Northern Legion soldiers, 1,000 Tribal soldiers.

1,000 Corps of Engineers Imperial Soldiers

total of 18000.

There are other soldiers under Adamantius that Hal can exercise direct command of.

5,000 22nd Legion Imperial Soldiers, 500 Auxiliary Cavalry, 1500 Auxiliary Archers

500 City Defender Imperial Soldiers, 500 Auxiliary Archers

There are a total of 8,000 people.

And now the population of Cilentium itself also exceeded 50,000, pulling out Fradia and growing into the largest and most powerful city on the northern border, both in fame.

With the addition of allied tribal warriors, Hal, who was set to possess more than 50,000 troops, has already gained the power to snuggle through the small nations of the West.

Hal, the neighborhood border guard, began to twitch some time after the training began.

At the end of the day, I'm passionate about training. Good thing nobody's looking at this one, it's shittiness and getting off the stage.

And...

"Quintus, why don't we have a fight?

"... Wow, if I may, I will deal with you...?

"I can't help but nod my body watching people train.

Hal laughed mischievously as he continued to say so to Quintus, who suddenly spoke to him where he was eager to see the training landscape and answered in surprise.

"Ha... well, go ahead.

"All right, let's do it then!

Receiving a spare wooden sword and a simulated shield, Hal smiled and handed it to Quintus to line the edge of the training line, after a gratuitous exchange of courtesies, he began a heated meeting with unbeatable momentum in the surrounding training.

After the same evening, Thermae Cilentiume

Hal and Lucius visited a public bathhouse with Primia together.

Then Primia, who was on the books, smiles and responds.

"Ah, Mr. Hal, Mr. Lucius. Welcome."

"Sorry to bother you in the off-duty hours. Yes, three copper coins.

"Hey, me too.

Lucius offers copper coins following Hull.

Receiving the price for two, Primia grinned.

"Thank you. Men go to your left.

"Okay. Bye."

"Take your time.

In Teito, men and women were separated by bathing time, but since Cilentium has separate hot tubs and strippers for men and women, bathing is possible throughout the day.

These hot springs are very popular with immigrants who dawn on tough labor every day, and there is a cheap price of three copper coins, and the people who go through them never stop.

Bath habits were becoming entrenched in Cilentium, as well as public morality beyond ethnic walls was beginning to bud.

As for Thermae Cilentiume's decision.

1 Always wash your body before entering the tub

2 Do not do laundry in the tub and do not go into the tub with your clothes on

3 No swimming in the tub

4 In the bathtub it is forbidden to act as a nuisance to others in general

and others are the main ones.

There was a bit of confusion on the first day, but there were people who had experience using public baths in the Empire, and so far, it hasn't mattered.

It has always been a bustling day and evening and seems to have become potato washed, but the water is always kept in a beautiful state because it is a hot spring with a wealth of sources.

Hal and Lucius accidentally bowled each other in the administration building and laughed at each other when they saw each other covered in mud, but knew that they were on their way to the public baths.

Hal was a little late for jumping in and participating in soldier training, and Lucius was picking up scammers who had entered from the empire, but it looks like he could use an almost rented out bath.

Primia was called out by Ortus as she dropped Hal and the others off to the stripper as they spoke.

"Sister, it's your turn.

"Ah, Ortus, good luck.

"Yeah, I'm fine, why don't you take a bath while your sister's at it?

Primia thinks to Ortus' words.

Indeed, there are fewer customers today than usual, and employees from Cliffonam and Oran, who were not always there at first, have become quite used to customer service and work.

I don't have any work concerns at the moment, and I don't have any big appointments.

Sometimes it would be good to enjoy a quick bath.

"Right... well, nice to meet you.

Ortus, smiling at his sister who replied so, replaced the receptionist with Primia.

"Yeah, I'll take care of it, take your time"

Thermae Cilentiume, Man Yu

Hal and Lucius, who washed their bodies quickly, headed to the tub as they spoke pleasantly.

"Oh no - I didn't think you'd take such a good bath.

"Oh, really... I could only wipe my body for a while..."

The sound of placing wooden buckets echoes, and the overflowing water from the tub slowly flows through the floor.

Pooh... zaaaa.

Ugh.

Hull and Lucius, weak and grasping abundantly in the hot tub to their shoulders, simultaneously took a deep sigh mixed with exclamation.

Hal, completely calmed down, looks around and impresses.

The interior of the total marbled public bath differs from that of the Imperial capital by way of example, dominated by the myths and flora and fauna of Cliffonam, leaving no room for imperial-style figures and idols.

And I could see the beautiful sunset sky from the lighting window embedded in the ceiling.

If you're on the northern border, you'll enjoy the starry sky at night.

"Ah, it's going to melt..."

"Uh-huh."

I closed my eyes and felt like I heard two pitiful voices laughing inclusively from nowhere, but I didn't realize they were completely caught off guard on the water, grabbed the bath abundantly and indulged in its comfort.

women's soup at the same time

Pippin... zah. Oh.

Two figures in the bathroom where the droplets and the sound of the water flowing quietly fill the bathroom.

Ellesia, with her golden hair tied up, and maple, with her lustrous black hair tied up in the same way, are lined up on the water.

Oh, come on, sweetheart.

The sound of the water flowing through the marble floor towards the drain distorted me, and I could faintly hear a dumb voice from the adjacent man water.

"Hehe, apparently Hull came next door.

"What, is that true? Well, let me just call you a little... hey, what are you doing!

With his eyes closed and on the tub, the maple reacts and slightly disappoints himself from the tub to El Laicia, who happily says, but is caught in the arm.

"No... I'll talk to Hal first.

Reaching out only with her hands on the tub, Ellesia, who caught the maple, told Maple clearly.

"Hey, what are you talking about?

"... right... now over there..."

"What?"

"Anyway, no.

Blocking Maple from listening to the words he said to whisper and twinkle, Ellesia forcefully draws Maple toward herself.

"Ha, let go... hmm?

"What's wrong?

"... no, whatever. No.

Attracted, where the bodies came into contact with each other, the maple stopped the resistance for a moment, solidifying itself, but was asked by Ellesia to cloud the words.

But clouded with words, Erlacia immediately understands what Maple cared about.

It will be apparent from the contact of the body.

"Ugh, not so much.

Knocking against his chest, Maple chewed his lips slightly as Erlacia said.

"Mmmm... ku, regret..."

"But... yeah, it's good elasticity.

"Amen... hey, don't do anything weird!

When Elleysia, hearing the Maple word, reached before it as she said so, and touched it, Maple said, reacting to her body in awe.

The maple starts to rumble because Erlacia kept touching it without protesting.

"Stop? Ah! Yan."

That's how Primia came to the place where the two of us were making a scene.

"Um... could you not make too much noise?

Although we had heard the two conversations from earlier, we were a little far away from being as involved as possible, but seeing them start to jump and scatter hot water, we were never close to trying to be careful from our sense of duty.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Lott.

"Mm, Primia... a little big..."

"What?"

Primia leaks her voice with a slight mix of regret and fright to two people who stop moving perfectly and stare at herself.

"Oh, it's true, and beautiful skin..."

"Oh, you know, why are you both closing in?

Still, I felt danger to two people leaning over, and the maple jumped from a low position where I turned my back.

"... Yikes!

The water shakes heavily all the time.

"Ah!?

"Uh-huh, you're softer than mine..."

"No, please stop. Somebody help me."

At the same time, man soup

Even the two ears, who were plenty entrusting everything to the water on the hot tub, get a whisper from the next woman's water.

Come on, yeah, yeah.

The sound of the water flow could not extinguish that voice, and there were times when there was no one else, and the content of that conversation continued to reach both of us relentlessly.

"Hal, something looks like fun next door..."

"... oh.

"I imagine a lot, don't I?

"Oh..."

Come on. Oh.

Two men who keep grabbing the water silently.

A quiet fighting spirit rises from one side.

"... you. Come on.

"Yeah?"

"... it's sloppy!

"Wow! Boo!?

"Konnyaro!"

"No, stop, Bubba?
