Haroon

The Treasure Basin is a large basin about 20 kilometers in diameter. The mountains encircled the basin, sloping towards the basin.

The plains, which were originally unnamed but named Treasure Basin to people after the dungeon was discovered, were a dark red wasteland in the southwest and southeast centered on the central dungeon. To the east was a small lake, and to the north and east were forest areas where large trees grew.

In the southern wasteland of the dungeon, the arriving humans settle in.

After seeing the entrance to the dungeon, the human forces occupying their respective realms in sections saw three fierce battles in the dark.

In the middle, the first princess to arrive here, and the first and third princes on both sides. Guilds of foreigners who first discovered the dungeon and have not yet occupied it join their faction.

And as we move to both ends, new arrivals each day begin to occupy the realm in turn. Few foreigners and humans, who were not affiliated with the numbers, were disorganized in the vast area behind them.

The mercenaries who carried out the quest to get here also settled there. I finished the quest and had to go back, but the greed and curiosity about the dungeon held their ankles firmly. Some had long term contracts in succession.

The mercenaries who came here joined the 10 Imperial mercenaries each with connections, although most of them were second-rate and more powerful than the other forces with knights and wizards, and some of the free mercenaries were encamped in between.

Although it wasn't loud because of the gathering of people with more than a certain level of force, stalls were opened everywhere, just like everywhere humans gather. There was a forge for selling or repairing weapons and armor, as well as a barracks and shops for selling restaurants and cars.

Neckwall was as lively as any metropolitan city because it made the edge of the basin as user town and convenient for its users.

This place is getting more crowded and lively because of the people who keep coming in. People who were looking forward to a duel with the Elves and the dungeons were so excited that they were running around to gather everyone they knew more.

A long time after the mercenaries settled at the edge of the basin, the storm troops who set up temporary settlements also began their activities early in the morning. Dylan is fascinated by his new sword, and has fallen into sword training to get used to it. Henny heads back to where the users were to find the first group of Ares.

Harun decided to look for Elzer in case he arrived, and entered this crowded place.

The mercenary camp was wide and needed to be sold daily. I wish Tinora was with him, but he went with Donnes to Dakarin Mercenaries. I was about to meditate on training Donnes. This is because there are too few storm troopers. In this case, scale is required.

Since they were more than grade 2 mercenaries, few appeared ignorant and unsportsmanlike. The mercenaries who naturally make an impression are lower than or equal to grade 3. More than that, it didn't have to be as sharp and ugly as eating with skill.

I could not help but sigh as I wandered around this vast area, wondering if I should ask. But Peel and Elser were famous in the mercenary world, so I thought I could find them if I just came.

“Commander!”

I wanted to be called, but it was Mobius.

“There you are. ”

“Yes. When did you arrive? ”

“You were late last night. What happened to your face? ”

Harun glances around, not seeing someone who should be with Mobius' depressed face, of course. Mobius smiles bitterly as he notices.

“Long story... but it's over. ”

It didn't seem that way, but it was strange. After going to reality, Harun's eyes, which he knew were becoming inseparable, grew a little larger ‘Why?’ Mobius told me a simple story.

“The commander made quite a bit of money and decided to move in with him. I was tired of meeting her, and I wanted to have a stable life with a good woman. So I found a nice house in a nice area, and I filled it with good furniture. But a guy named Schmidt's brother warned me. I'm gonna embarrass Noble. He even threatened to kick me out of the house if I ever saw him again. In fact, it would be better if a confused young lady gave up her identity and wandered around Union with me. But I convinced Schmidt who was holding on. because I have nothing to lose downstream, but she has nothing left to lose when she loses her Noble identity. What's a life worth living for a love you're not confident in for life? I want to protect the woman who loves me because I'm a man... But, it's a sin not to have the ability. ”

Harun's voice seems particularly lonely. Harun quickly notices the situation. It was Mebius, who had a slick and affectionate personality, who fell in love with women in front and behind, but had nothing to see in his brother's eyes.

However, I don't know if Mobius' personality is cool or because he has a lot of experience when he goes around like that. Anyway, I like being considerate of women without obsession.

“What about the rest of the crew? ”

You must be curious about being alone. I didn't feel sorry for the dead grass.

“I've got something to figure out. Everyone spread out and do some digging. ”

“Well, so did Tino, and I missed Henny. ”

“Come back to the rear of the mercenary zone later. That's where we live. ”

“Hahaha, got it. ”

Mobius greets you with a busy greeting and hurriedly rushes back to the place where the large barracks were attacked.

“Commander, can you communicate with the elves? ”

Maybe it's because of what Hennie said the other day. I can understand Dwarves and talk to them, so I thought it might be the case with the Elves, but that's all I don't know. I don't even know why I have that ability.

“I don't know. ”

“So it could be possible? ”

“I haven't met him yet, and I'm not sure, but maybe I have. ”

“Then can you create a channel where you can talk to the Elves? ”

“That's possible. ”

Through the Red Anvil tribe, you can create a place to talk to the Elves. Dwarves and elves living in the land of tranquility were quite close, unlike anywhere else.

“I understand.”

Mobius takes another step, smiling in contrition, as if he remembered something in Harun's reply.

“Why do you ask? ”

“Hahaha! I've been thinking. I think I can fit right in here. Stay tuned, and I'll see you tonight. ”

Mobius makes his way to the homestead of NPCs in the middle of an unexpected conversation.

Harun has been wandering around the mercenary barracks for a long time and has heard that Elzer is here. I received a request to be commander of the Abyss Mercenary Corps that my father, Piel, was formed.

After a few more questions, you can finally find a place for the Abyss mercenaries to settle down. They were battling a large barracks and four medium barracks.

“Who?”

A fairly sharp mid-30s mercenary stopped Harun approaching the barracks.

“I'm Harun, the gale mercenary who came to see my friend Elzer. ”

“Our coven commander? Wait. What if there's a storm trooper? Just a moment.”

He hurriedly ran to the large barracks with a surprised face. In the meantime, two other mercenaries have kept Harun from approaching with a certain distance. Harun marvels at his skilled movements that moderately provoke tension without taking an intimidating or overwhelming stance.

It made me think I was a mercenary raised by Piel, the Abyssal Mercenary.

After a short while, the entrance to the barracks opens and Elser runs out. She looks as bright as ever, with her armor on, but her face is bright.

“A day!”

Elser's face sprints up red like a ripe apple, shouting his name. Thanks to this, a deep scar was revealed that was covered with sagging silver hair, but it was not bad for him at all.

“Hahaha!”

I felt like a really good friend to be able to feel better just by looking at my face. Harun opens his arms to Elzer, smiling loudly.

Elser almost flies over and plunges into his arms. She almost collapsed at a healthy moment's weight, but managed to stay focused and avoid embarrassment. I felt her hot breath and distinctive physique tightly clasped around my neck.

“How are you? ”

“Yes, and you? ”

“Hello. ”

“Your face is better. I feel much better, too. ”

After the contract with the mercenary guild was concluded, they made their own mercenaries, so their faces looked really good.

“Thanks to you. ”

“Why?”

“I wouldn't worry about it. ”

“That's right. Phew! It feels weird to be held like this. I've always wanted to do this. But there was no one else to do it for. ”

Elser clasps his hands around Harun's neck, whispering as if for the first time.

“Now I'll do it all the time. ”

“Hohoho! You promised? ”

“Yes. Can't you do that much for your first friend? ”

“Thank you. Hmm. But your breasts, they're much wider and more comfortable than I thought. ”

“But he's still a man. You're a woman.”

“I see.”

Between the two of them struggling, a group of mercenaries, including Piel, McKean, approach them from the barracks. The faces of those who saw them holding each other were strangely distorted, as if they could not see, but Peiel and McKean were smiling as if their mouths were torn.

“We should say goodbye first. ”

“Yes, but I don't want to fall. ”

“The crew will be horrified. I heard you're the commander.”

“What! The commander can't even give his boyfriend a hug? ”

“But you have a system. ”

“I'm not good with schemes. You'd better watch it. ”

The horse still leaves Harun's arms, but it is a very sad face. Peel and McKean approach her behind her back.

“Harun, the new hero of the mercenary system, is finally here. Nice to meet you.”

I was wearing my outfit at the last mercenary graduation ceremony, but Pierre was wearing the right armor, and the intensity and sophistication of time and experience was diminishing.

“Yes, sir. It's been a long time. I've seen enough of you. ”

“Haha. I guess I'm just who I am. You've changed a lot, too. ”

“Yes, many things happened. ”

Harun shakes hands with Peel and greets McKinn. He was grateful to Elzer for helping him get into the mercenary academy.

“It's been a long time. ”

“Nice to meet you. I've had a lot of conversations with the commander. ”

Unlike when he saw the administrative office at the mercenary academy, he was much better equipped with defense gear. Originally a muscular figure, McKinn was now more mercenary than ever before.

“Good to see you. ”

McKeen gives a big smile after understanding Harun's words. It was as radiant as his naked bald head.

“It's because I wore something that didn't fit, and now I'm properly dressed. I still feel like I'm going to wrestle with the paperwork and get back to my seat. ”

“Well, I'm glad someone's here, but I can't just leave them here. Let's all go to the barracks and say hello. ”

After stopping speaking appropriately, Peel takes Harun to a large barracks. After that, close to thirty mercenaries followed.

People sit around campfires burning in the middle of the barracks. Pierel sits Harun next to him and Elzer next to him.

Except in the middle of a barracks with a small furnace, the rest is carpeted and a pile of luggage in the corner. Perhaps this is where the important meeting of the mercenaries takes place.

“Let me introduce you. This is Elser's friend Harun, the famous Squad Leader. ”

Harun raises his forearms and greets the mercenaries. The eyes of the Abyss mercenaries who greeted him were filled with curiosity and kindness. I've heard a lot about Harun already.

“And the rest of my friends here are the Abyss mercenaries who promised to join me in life and death. This is my first trillion amulan, who spent 20 years with me, and this is my famous second trillion valkin, a mercenary knight, and this is my famous third trillion bofuran, Bofuran of superpower. ”

“Greetings. I am Harun, in charge of the gale mercenaries." I've heard a lot about fame. ”

It's true. I was familiar with their reputation at the Mercenary Academy. Especially in the case of amulans, Expert's superior mercenaries were notoriously cruel and violent enough to be nicknamed ‘Demon of the Battlefield’.

“Haha! I really wanted to see the famous Squad Leader as a friend of my commander. ”

All of the limbs were so long that their cheekbones were so dry that they were much longer than two meters tall. However, the nickname Devil of the Battlefield has been asked to shake hands with a colorless soft face and a gentle smile.

“I've been looking forward to meeting the legends of the mercenary world, too. ”

Harun's face changes slightly, his hands clapping in greeting. An enormous grip that doesn't match the greeting look on his face would crush his hands. It seemed to be twice the size of Harun's hand, but I felt the pain of breaking his hand bone, no matter how strong it was.

‘Is this a test? Then you must accept Dory. ’

Harun, who found my face, gave me the strength of his grip.

Wood Duck!

As the sound of each other's bones clashing, thick tendons rose from their faces. The struggle of pure power that was properly struck was an inexcusable amount of pain. That way, the two who bit their lower lip, falling off their hands, arms and shoulders, relaxed as promised.

“Amalan. I've confirmed that your name is not in vain. It's an honor to meet the storm trooper commander. ”

Once you have ascertained the opposing Pokémon's skill, the orlan opens his mind and smiles, checking again without delay. The light of astonishment resounded with strong disbelief in the eyes of those who were watching the attitude of Amalan.

One of the people who saw it, with muscles that were likely to explode at a small height, asked Harun to shake his hand.

“Oh no! I never thought anyone would admire an amulet with pure strength. I am Bofuran of supernatural power. Well, there's no need to look at me like that. He's a half-dwarf.”

“Ah, it's good to see you. I met a Dwarf tribe a while ago, and it was nice to see them for a moment. ”

Harun's words enlarge Bofuran's small eyes.

“Which clan are you? There aren't any clans around here. ”

“The red anvil tribe. They recently relocated to this land of tranquility. The vein in my hometown was so dry that I couldn't make it here. I took care of one of their quests on my way here. ”

“Hahaha! What a pleasure. You're the first person who hasn't looked at me strangely. Nice to meet you.”

When Bofuran appears to be old enough to see the white beard on his chin, he gets excited and doesn't let go of Harun's hand.

“You little dwarf, I don't have to say goodbye. I never imagined the hero of the mercenary system who raised the status of Imperial mercenaries would be so young. Moreover, I didn't know we had the charm of a man who grabbed the commander of our coven in our arms without hesitation. Greetings. I'm Valkin. ”

Valkyn's prayers with a giant Bastard Sword on his back were remarkable enough to remind me of Dylan. His aura was well refined, doubtfully because he was a mercenary, and he felt as though he was dealing with a light sword.

“Greetings. I've always admired your reputation. Among us are knights. Lord Dylan would make a good friend. ”

I felt like I was about the same age to speculate. Rumor has it that Expert is the best. A good friend might be a good opponent.

“Is that so? Please let me see him soon. ”

Though his face was a gentle expression, he was filled with a senseless look. I don't know if it was curiosity or pure curiosity, but I felt like my mouth was twitching.

Afterwards, I greeted the curious crew.

“You've become very famous. ”

Elser said with a proud face.

“Really?"

In fact, Harun did not feel that way vividly. It's because the name of the storm trooper has become more famous than his name, and I can hardly feel it because I have little contact with users.

“But how did you end up in the Hook Mountains? ”

“Yes. I ran into a stranger by chance, and before that, I had already entered the Hookran Mountains for a quest. Our mercenary commander is a ghost seeker. He's developed an extraordinary sense of danger, and he's lucky. ”

Harun went there alone and did not want to talk about Herbal Guild. If the existence of the map, the treasure of the Herbal Guild, is known, the herbalists of the Empire and many others may be killed because of greed.

“Oh, I see. What's the commander's name? ”

“Tyno, second-rate mercenary. ”

“Tino? That's a common name. Who is it?”

Elser hears the name and looks around. But Fiel or McKean didn't know his name. He could be a second-rate mercenary. Then a figure appeared from one side who knew him.

“Oh!”

“What, does Bjorwing know him? ”

Bjorving was a well-rounded mercenary in his mid-40s. Although it was located at the entrance, in sequence, it was quite skilled as the Abyss mercenaries were directed at a minority elite.

“I know him better than anyone. We've worked together a few times. I once participated in an expedition to ancient dungeons in the grasslands beyond the Wild Beast Forest and the Sky Loop Mountains. Commander Harun said he's an excellent friend who knows how to find a path and how to sense danger. Thanks to him, I was able to come back alive because I had a lot of friends with me. Swordsmanship wasn't great, but it was a great friend with a lot of knowledge and skills. ”

“Well, if he made it out of the Wild Beast Forest, he's a great friend. Then why is it still second class? ”

Elser's words revealed other people's curiosity.

Magic Forest is a vast forest in the south-eastern part of the Empire, a dangerous place where the mystical system and passageway are connected. It is a place where Mana Seok, a type of sea urchin, comes out. Horse towers used to go there regularly. Of course, their escort is for mercenaries.

The story of going in there and coming out alive is that you are at least a first-class skill.

“Well, I don't know in detail, but I have a friend who seems to be very limited by his activities. The man I worked with said he was quite famous in other empires and that he had only received three quests from our Theon Empire. ”

That would be true. Devon would have been limited in his mercenary life. Debron was more of a wandering knight than a mercenary. I didn't seem to have a full mercenary life because I was a knight.

“Anyway, you saved a good man. ”

“Yes, and so is his ability, but he has a good mind. ”

Elser and Pierre were happy to see the deep trust on Harun's face. I felt relieved to have someone I could trust beside Harun.

“I'll be here. I'll see you soon, right? ”

“Well, I'll say hello to you sometime. ”

At the end of the time, the regular crew went out. Once the tables were cleared, Pierle returned the tea he had brewed to people. It was a better car than I thought. When you think of how few mercenaries enjoy tea, you think of Piel as an elite mercenary.

“So, what are you going to do? ”

Maybe he's asking about the dungeon.

“I'm just watching. It's not without thought, but it's not a greedy situation. ”

Peel nods.

“Not really. Getting greedy doesn't get you into the dungeon. The problem must be secured from the Elven occupied dungeons right now, but we have to be aware of the situation. ”

Yes. Tens of thousands of Elven warriors are also a problem, but if they are defeated and suffered heavy losses, occupying the dungeon is useless.

“Will someone please step forward, Master? ”

McKean asks Piel.

“Of course. A lot of people will feel burdened by the way people keep gathering. In a little while, almost all the best in the empire will be gathered. The dungeon treasure is worth that much. ”

Fiel explains the situation, replenished by McKean's words.

“Whew. So this is where the Golden Battle will almost be decided. ”

Both of you agree with what Cao Cao Valkyn said. There was no better way to say that the man who acquired the treasure of the dungeon or that faction won the Golden Battle. I just have to be able to keep it up to the end.

“Good thing the Golden Battle wasn't harmed by the general public, by the way. It's hard for soldiers of any size to come here. ”

“That's my favorite part, McKinn. Because useless people don't have to die. ”

All the mercenaries were sympathetic to Elser's words. Most mercenaries are peasants and peasants, so they know more about the damage of the battle than anyone else.

“Besides, I don't know who blew up the dungeon in detail, but you did a great job. They knew the information beforehand, which is crazy, but now that it's out in the open, people can come in safely, and they don't have to ask for expensive information. It will all become known over time, but it will be hard to do any nasty tricks when people are driven like this all at once. ”

Harun was proud to see people agree with the words of the trillions. They knew, but they didn't yet know that their own troop had released the information.

Not all of them can tell me what he intended, but once he thought about it, things went well and he was satisfied.

The story began without delay, from one day to the encounter with the Dwarves because of Bofuran curiosity.

“So you understand what the dwarf is saying and can communicate with the elves? ”

When I first met Dolkin, Elser was surprised to learn that he understood the Dwarf language.

“I don't know. I understand, but I can't do it on my end. Half, actually. I don't know about Elvish. ”

Harun didn't even know when and how he got that ability.

“Hey, you're amazing. ”

Elser did not conceal his admiration.

According to Bofuran's description, the Dwarf is a language that belongs to the letters of the table, and a note has eight meanings, depending on its height. The difference was so fine that it was hard to express in human vocabulary, and it was hard to discern the difference with human ears.

Because of this, it was almost impossible to talk to the xenogens unless it was interpreted by magic. However, the magic of the interpreter is the magic of seven circles, and now in practice, it has not been easy to be compatible with the xenophobes who are not even human.

Legend has it that the xenophiles have long had an equal exchange with humans. But over time, I don't know what happened, but their numbers decreased, and they disappeared from time to time.

There were several known areas in the Empire where Dwarves and Elves lived, but they were all forbidden to resist human activity. Elves, especially in the land of tranquility, are known for their aggressive combat-prone Dark Elves and are currently occupying Dungeons.

“When did you learn the dwarf language? ”

Harun is embarrassed to answer that question. We don't even know how these abilities came about. Elzer, looking at his embarrassed face, suddenly remembers the lies Harun used to tell.

“Oh, got it! When you were a kid, you said you lived in the mountains with your herbalist grandfather until you were an adult. ”

“Yes.”

I thought I did, but one person who tells lies doesn't remember much.

“Maybe that's when I learned. When you were a kid. Dwarves and Elves live in the mountains to avoid Humans. Maybe your grandfather saved them. The best herbalists are usually healers. That's why the Dwarves and Elves may have been enchanted to understand their words without your knowledge in the midst of a conversation. ”

"Write a novel! ’

Harun was overwhelmed, but Elser was obsessed with what he had come up with and seemed to agree with Pierce and McKinn to some extent.

Some of Beyond's legends often include that he went into the forest and rescued an elf or dwarf and received a magical item or treasure. Among the spirits were those who lived with Elves as children or learned spiritual magic by saving Elves.

“Well, that's great. You must be the only mercenary in the world who can communicate with the Cultists. ”

McKean winks with his thumb raised.

“He's my friend! ”

Elzer folds his arms to make Harun proud.

“Childish.”

Everyone laughs joyfully at McKinn's annoying voice. Even though they were mercenaries who risked their lives for nothing they learned, they were pure.

Harun had so much fun that he had to leave the Abyss mercenary barracks by nightfall. Elser didn't want to send Hansako. It was only after I promised to see her often that I could barely remove her arm.

“Hehe. He looks like a child when he does that. ”

But it was good. Elser was proud of him and delighted at his fame as if he had been together since childhood. And I spent more time with people who liked Elser than ever before.

‘I wish I had a friend like that in real life. ’

The conclusion was like that.

I now know that friends are not made by making things. Being good at yourself is not only a good relationship, but also sadness because I now know that I have to be empathetic to accidental opportunities.

If I had a friend who felt better just being with me, I would have lived without complaint, even with a narrow barrier.

Returning to the barracks, Tino and Donnes are not there yet. Dylan meditates quietly on his sword all day, and he's dozing off, not using a bunch of stuff to make sure he's bored.

The last time I received a large amount of raw materials from Virtual Corp., my smile never left my face. A badly tilted face was smiling to the side of what a good dream was.

Is he eating something delicious?

Her mouth twitches from time to time. Moreover, although it was not much, the drooling was also cute, not dirty or dirty.

Harun sits quietly next to her and lends her a shoulder as if she were going to fall to her side. Hani's light head rests on her shoulders, and she opens her mouth and laughs to see if she can rest in her dreams.

Harun looked at Henny's face for a long time and was interested in the paper on the floor.

What were you doing? ’

There were some words written on the paper, some meaningless drawings that seemed to be doodles.

"Dungeon, 5, crater or meteorite? Elves and Dwarves, Golden Battle, Ruins, Empire, Doom, Crystal Crystal, Human Rights, Barrier, Destruction, Free Life and Happiness. What does this all mean? ’

Words that could be meaningful, but it was not easy to guess what she was thinking. However, the word "crater" and the word "pseudophakic lens" impressed me deeply.

The crater? ’

The other day, I went to look for the essence and looked down at the basin.

This land with a dungeon was almost circular, looking down from above, about 20 kilometers in diameter. And the mountain rises almost evenly from the floor to a height of about 700 meters.

Except the size is bigger than I thought, it's like a crater erupting from a volcano or a meteorite falling from a meteorite.

‘Maybe. ’

The Plain of Tranquility that exists between the Land of Tranquility and the Irish Mountains is Heat . This means that the land is divided. A huge land with unknown depths of holes and cracks everywhere.

Because the climate is mild, the wind is low, and the rainfall is high, vegetation is good. However, the only plants that grow the most are the tall grasses and moss.

It looked like an endless meadow from afar, but it wasn't. There were thick-grown mosses and unknown cracks beneath the tall grass. That's why there are no monsters here. Humans, of course, were the same.

It is a rocky area with very few topsoil layers where plants can grow. It is not uncommon for rocks to spread this wide. It is really strange that almost twice the size of John Plain, the entire vast area is rock.

Hennie suddenly moves as he thinks in his own way based on the words.

“Ahhhh!”

She stopped eating in her dreams and hugged Harun's side to open her arms like she was playing with a pet this time. He rubs his face against his shoulders as if he were holding a cute animal, and suddenly opens his eyes as if something was wrong with Harun's chest.

“Queek!”

Hennie's eyes turn round. My ears twitched like a frightened rabbit. The moment she was about to scream something, Harun put a finger on her lip.

“Shh!”

Henry's face is so cute that his lips are rushed forward, he smiles without knowing it. At this rate, she is an unfailing girl.

“When did you get here, boss? ”

Henny's gaze at killing the sound was directed at Dylan, who was meditating. In her mouth, the saliva that had been shed in her sleep was still flowing. However, I steal entry with my unconscious mind as if I didn't feel it.

“Just now. I lent you my shoulder because I think I'm tired. ”

“Thank you.”

Hani thanked him with a shy face, then covered his mouth with his hands and closed his eyes to see if he could recall the lingering taste of saliva in his mouth. Her face quickly became red.

After a long time, Hani opens her eyes and asks with a almost crying voice.

“You've seen it all, right? ”

“What?”

“I... Sleep." ”

She lets out an iron voice, but she doesn't ask if she saw her sleep drooling.

“No! I've been thinking about these words that Henny used. ”

I felt like making fun of him a little. It seemed like it would be fun somehow. When I was growing up, I had never had that experience with girls, but now I felt like a bad boy, but I struggled.

“Are you sure? ”

I couldn't say it wasn't a voice filled with joy and relief.

“Yes. I was wondering if this place was actually a giant volcano. It's too big for volcanoes, and there's not enough evidence in many ways. ”

“Well, right? As you can imagine, there seems to be enough possibility. We need to look at the geology around us. ”

“But what does that have to do with us? ”

It was Dylan who got in the middle of a conversation with two people.

“I don't know yet. It's just suspicious, so let's investigate. ”

“Really?"

Dylan quickly stops his interest and heads out. Ever since, he's been standing meditating in front of the barracks.
