"Gatherers"

Taang!

A wooden table made by a sudden fist breaks out.

“Don't you dare touch us! ”

Geratz's face turned pale and he was trembling. He arrived late for something else and was frenzied when he heard reports that 412 deputy commanders or less were killed by storm troopers.

“Where are you? ”

A promoter who meets Geraz's gaze, a flaming fire, calls out for a bridge. The immense life was radiating as if it had broken his heart.

“Well, that's ……. ”

“You useless bastards! ”

Geratz kicks the stuffed animal out of his life and can't even open his mouth properly. A properly slammed promo does not scream, but flies to the end of the barracks and the barracks rumble.

“Tsk, tsk! It's because the director can't control one's heart properly. ”

Geratz's lively eyes flip over the door of the barracks and he wants to stab the incoming character for a moment. At that moment, he turns into a sheep.

“Guild Master!”

Where his eyes turned, there was a good old man in a golden tunic. There was a beauty with a cold face behind the old man and a middle-aged prosecutor with rock-hard strength.

“Welcome. We've heard that you're already here. I was hoping to see you soon after I got the report. ”

He couldn't even make eye contact with the old man because he was afraid.

“Did you do everything right? ”

“Yes. With the work done in duplicate, the southern portion of the empire will be noisy for a while. ”

It means there's something else behind the scenes here.

“Good work. Let's take a seat. Well, the table's a mess, and the chair's a mess. ”

At the old man's words, Geratz brings the flying leader to his knees, stunned.

The old man sits on the back of a fainted elder as if it were natural.

“What happened? ”

Geratz's eyes turn to the woman who practiced the old man. She opens her mouth slowly, wondering if her eyes are as transparent as a glass egg with a cold face like ice.

“I wonder what happened to you! Are you yelling at me for trusting a bunch of scumbags? ”

Unlike a humble voice that doesn't feel any emotion, Geratz's body was instantly stiffened as a strange light that could not be used in a woman's eyes.

The space around Geratz made his body firmer as he wanted to make sure that the pressure was strong.

I thought you were a smart girl, analyzing information, but you use the Wise Man's Law? Scary bitch! "

But he was also a foot-stepped figure at the end of Expert. When Mana radiated through the whole body, her body became stiff. However, joint regions were not still uncomfortable with the law of the moderately strong sage.

“I meant no disregard. I was just asking the Director for a detailed explanation because my men's reports were incomplete. ”

Even the apples of Geratz did not show a slight change in the woman's cold face. Only the eyes repeating to be as transparent as the egg indicate that her emotional state is not good.

“It's not a cliché, that's all. ”

The answer came from the old man's mouth.

“Yes?”

Geratz could not be trusted. Most of the deputy commanders who were dispatched here were prisoners of knights who had been sentenced to long-term imprisonment for their crimes.

Though I've heard rumors about the storm troopers, most rumors are exaggerated and Geratz, who knew their numbers were also small, did not understand.

“That's why you've slaughtered over four hundred members. ”

Even in the description of the elderly man, his eyes widened once and his mouth could not return to its place.

“Scary bastards. Each one of them possessed the skills of Expert's finest, and especially in the case of a spirit corpse, he was able to perform an intermediate spirit of three attributes. ”

“Y-you mean it's true? ”

Geratz felt like a fool. How many times have I asked you? To the man who holds the right to life and death.

“We saw it with our own eyes. ”

Geratz closes his eyes to the old man. Something completely incomprehensible happened. A quarter of the skilled people who had trained for decades eating all kinds of insults flew into one room, and they were forced to collapse.

“The problem is they're probably not all of them. Did you get the intel on them? ”

“Yes. Can I tell you? ”

“No, I'd rather see that in a quiet place. ”

“I'll get the paperwork ready. ”

The old man nods with an arrogant face and makes eye contact with the prosecutor of the expressionless face.

“Tahon, can you handle them? ”

“Maybe.”

The prosecutor called Tahon answered without hesitation, but his voice felt nothing like that of a woman named Po.

“Great. What's the time? ”

“It's not that hard to use archers and poison needles. It only takes a few. Dylan has to use a beacon, and we can take him out in half an hour. The Spirit... I don't know. ”

He replied with strong curiosity in the elderly man's eyes, and the woman with the cold face and Geratz became a frightening face.

It was the first time Tahon, the Sword Master, answered that he didn't know. Unlike the Assassins with guild swords, Tahoen's answer to defeat his enemies in a frontal battle was surprising.

“You're a dangerous man. I thought you were a nominal commander, but you could be a real commander. How can a guy like that be a class 4 mercenary? ”

The old woman's eyelashes tremble. I have misanalyzed the information.

“Never would those figures fall from the sky without a feisty force behind them. I authorize use of Class S information networks. Dealing with them without digging up their backs can bring a lot of anger to the guild. ”

“I understand.”

The woman who was cold all along, as well as the eyes of the other two, had a strong light of surprise. In the case of operating a Class S information network, it was largely unused because it was concerned that guild members who subsequently took root throughout the empire and were involved in intelligence activities would be exposed.

‘You surprised them a lot. ’

The cold light flashes in the woman's eyes, but her head nods slightly. Her hands-on skills in the blast mercenaries were extraordinary, not to be described as merely Expert grade or level.

I don't know how many more of those skills are there, but I was also nervous because I have the same level of intelligence as myself.

“Maybe they are the enemies of our guild. If we don't do it now, we'll do it. Those who knowingly hold information are doomed to destruction. We'll have to investigate thoroughly to take out the roots. ”

“Yes!”

Po raised his voice with a short answer filled with emotion for the first time.

“You may have faith that they will not hide, but will show their true colors. ”

“The Dakarin mercenaries and the Abyss mercenaries surround their camp in cancer. It was also found that there was a significant bridge between the crew. ”

In Po's report, the old man stared at the air with a serious look for a moment.

“Revealed is not important. Fear of the spear hiding in the dark. ”

There was no one here who didn't know what he meant. That's what they've always been. But this time things changed. They are exposed and the gust is like hiding.

When the three people were doing what they thought was right, the old man's words continued again.

“There is information that a young man, the commander, understands the language of the xenogens. The princes and other forces may approach them, perhaps unable to join forces, and unable to stand alone against the Elves. ”

Poe's brain cells are moving fiercely.

"Do you understand xenophobes?" ’

It is an unbelievable saying, but it must be true because it came from the old man's mouth. He had more lines of confidential information than his own.

“If things go on long enough, they'll try to negotiate with the elves. It's for the best. We have to get in the way. ”

“Very well, I'll take action. ”

The old man nods with a trusting face and turns his eyes to Geratz.

“Summon the rest of the mercenaries for rent. The assassins and mercenaries have work to do. ”

“I'll be quick.”

“Tahon muster the hidden swords of the guild. There will be work to be done soon. ”

“Restore!”

Po and Geraz stare at Tahon, kneeling down on one knee and lifting up their left arm, with a strange glow.

“Damn it! Is there really no way? ”

The first prince is furious. There are many gathering in the dungeon, but the situation still persists with the Elves driven out and unable to take the dungeon or enter it. The gathering of the forces here was already underwater.

The meeting room was frozen in silence.

1Even in the anger of the prince, the situation was actually not something that any force could lead. Everyone sitting here knew that.

At that moment, Earl Hilton, standing near the entrance, looks around and raises his grip. The first prince's angry gaze touches him, and his vigor subsides. He was the nephew of the emperor, whom he admired, and a talent for planning and battling this gathering of the emperors.

“Tell me, Hilton. ”

Hilton opens his mouth carefully, hearing the prince's words. Although he was overwhelmed by the atmosphere without a territory, he was encouraged to ask for a comment.

“Your Majesty, there is one way to try it. ”

The first prince nods slightly. The king watched his nephew with a worried look.

“One of the estramorwn I know has a relatively light relationship with the storm trooper commander. ”

“Really?"

It was famous for being a thunderstorm mercenary. Their ability to handle near-impossible requests with a handful of elites with a force of a hundred was recognizable to some extent by knights who had negative images of mercenaries.

“But then I heard a strange sound from the stranger. ”

“What's that? ”

“The commander of the gale said he could communicate with the elves. ”

“What? So the mercenary speaks Elvish? ”

It's amazing. It's been a thousand years since the Elves concealed their tracks from the human world. At the time of the birth of the three empires, they were pushed by humans and disappeared into the rugged mountains. Because of this, humans who know Elvish language were extremely rare, and it was difficult to question such people in the same situation.

In the case of the magic of a 7-circle interpreter, the universal language of the continent was completely established, and when heterogeneous species such as Dwarves and Elves hid their tracks from the world, it was no longer of any use and was suddenly cut off. Now even the wizards had no one who knew the magic.

“I've heard that. The commander said he could even talk to Dwarves. ”

“Oh! The more I know, the more I'm surprised. I heard that the ability to control spirits is amazing, but how can a mercenary do that? ”

Those who heard Hilton's story were astonished. Language, especially not just differences in letters, words, and sentence arrangements, is very difficult for people of different ethnic languages to learn even when they were living with humans.

However, it was no surprise that one mercenary could speak Dwarf and Elvish languages.

Hearing his nephew's words, the dust glows.

“He is known to be an exceptional spirit. It is speculated that the spirit magic originated from the Elves. ”

“Well, that makes sense. If you're related to Elves, you should be able to explain the background of their mysterious abilities. But that's not what he wanted to say. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I recommend referring them to the blast mercenary before using the worst means possible. ”

“Quest?”

1The prince's gaze became stronger.

“There must be a reason why the Elves have taken the dungeon and don't think about going inside. This is my personal opinion, but I don't think the Elves are interested in Dungeon Treasures. I wonder if they're guarding a dungeon that's thought to be important to us because of the hatred and hostility towards the humans who drove them out to this remote place, and because of what happened to the estramorwn who first discovered this place and the Knights of the scalpel. ”

His opinion was that many forces had already arrived here.

“If we can get the elves to retreat without a fight, that would be our best bet. If we can negotiate our way into the dungeon in secret, there's nothing more to it. ”

The eyes of people flourished. Author Hilton's opinions are the best way for everyone to be competitive and take action in a hostile situation. I was still in my early twenties, and I was amazed by Hilton's admiration for coming up with a brilliant secret because he had the blood of the sand.

The prince's anticipated gaze, admiration, and the attention of a foreigner mixed with vagrancy, Hilton spoke in a calm and decisive tone, not a shrugged attitude anymore.

“From the power of the estramorwn and the blast mercenaries I know, it is certain that the commander has great abilities. In many respects, it is assumed that you have an information rile who is a winner in the Empire Intelligence Guild. If you receive a quest, you will investigate thoroughly and not receive any quests unless you are confident at all. Why don't you try a quest first? ”

His calm and powerful words contained strange persuasion that made the hearts of the listeners, especially the first prince, excited.

“Do you know where they are now, Birch? ”

“Yes, after one big fight with the Geratz mercenaries, I'm still standing. ”

“Then you and…… Well, the Dust will meet with them in person to make a request and hear the terms. I've heard of them, but let's see if we can trust them and see what their abilities are, and if they're not ridiculous, let's put in a quest. ”

1The emperor's decision stood up and bent his waist.

“I will make it happen. ”

“Please. The information guild rats and the Senate wolves have caught the situation, and the foxes at the High Council have come from the courtyard. If there is a head among them, there is no way to overlook the presence of the Storm Mercenaries. You'd better move fast. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

The king replied with a joyful glance at his nephew, Baron Hilton.

The work proceeded faster than I expected. The first prince, Hulk and Hilton, with six knights, were wanted for Mobius' whereabouts, and were guided by him at the beginning of the darkness into the place where the estramorwn and mercenaries stayed.

Harun's camp lies at the foot of the mountain, many miles from the First Prince's camp. Due to the low amount of exercise, the sand and Hilton arriving in front of the barracks are already panting. Dylan meditates in front of two barracks.

“Who are you?”

Dylan now fully restored to normal has already detected the knights' approach. I had never seen anyone before, but I was encouraged by six people who were quite skilled.

The group stops in front of his ten-foot and feels a sense of refinement. The knights step forward, sensing a deadly dangerous aura as they move forward, but their movements are extremely cautious.

I knew it!

Despite not practicing the sword, Dust, the Wizard of the Six Circles, was able to guess the hardship of the Swordsman, even though he simply sat there without pulling out the sword, emitting a powerful energy on his own.

Mobius, who has fallen behind, comes forward screaming.

“Sir Dylan, this is Mobius. I'm here to see the commander. ”

“Who are these people? ”

He pretends to know, but Dylan's eyes run wild like a light blade. Mobius explains in cold sweat.

“These are the people I introduced for the quest. Identity is clear. ”

Dylan rises quietly from his seat with his sword by his side. Even with that slow motion, the knights had to be nervous without taking their hands off the blade.

“Is that Landrell?”

After naming himself, the king opened his eyes wide. The middle-aged prosecutor, compared to the campfire, seems to recognize him. Moreover, his tone was faintly familiar, so I couldn't help but look closely.

He saw several times, but only confirmed that he was a stranger. But soon after I remembered the name Mobius called me, I remembered a video that I had buried in my memory a long time ago, and it matched his face.

“D, Dylan? ”

“It's been a long time. You've aged a lot. ”

“My friend, why are you here? ”

The emperor lunges at Dylan with a face filled with gladness and wonder. Dylan and Landrell hug each other hard, looking at sixty. The two huggers reacquainted each other's faces against the campfire and grinned their fists.

“It's been 30 years? ”

“It's been exactly 34 years. It's the first time since you left the proximal knights and went to the territory that summer as an excuse for your injury. ”

“It's been a long time. Where did that sorry wizard who made the Imperial Madames so adorable come before me? It's been a long time. ”

“Baby, this guy! What kind of wretched creature lures me around and makes me pay for my own liquor in front of my niece? Well, I'm sorry, but it's true that the ladies were drawn to me. ”

“Hahaha! You're still talking. ”

“If it wasn't for that voice, I'd recognize it. Why do you seem to age backwards? I envy you.”

Dylan slaps his shoulder vigorously, looking at Landrell's lonely voice and wrinkled presbyopia.

“I'm relieved that I don't have to use my head like you. Youngji, my son is taking good care of me, and I live comfortably in the world because I'm separated from my nagging wife. ”

“Are you a fan mercenary, too? ”

“That's right.”

Landrell was stunned at Dylan's response with a bold smile.

“Huh! You're one of the mercenaries whose reputation preceded the Viceroy and the Imperial proximal Knights? So you're the so-called Ice Tester? ”

“You're probably right. ”

Dylan had heard of his new nickname. I didn't like the nickname, so I quickly started talking.

“Are you here to see our commander? ”

“Yes, I serve the First Prince. ”

“You've made a fortune. How can I trust that bald head to trust you?" ”

“Hey, you! ”

Dylan jokes with Landrell and heads to Harun's barracks.

“Dylan, boss. ”

“Come in.”

With Harun's permission, Dylan places the five knights in front of the barracks and goes inside with the two of them. Mobius finishes his task and heads to the camp of the Ares.

Landrell was curious about the mysterious figure that Dylan accepted as the commander, a friend and a proud man who had emerged from the mercenary squall. What the hell does he look like? Of course, her skills would have surpassed Dylan. No wonder Dylan bowed his head when he ran from his sword to the proximal knights.

“Hehe!”

As soon as he sees Harun, he breathes his last breath unknowingly.

‘Th-that guy... Jean? ’

It is not easy to calculate age because of the long hair and beard covering the face, but it is in the early thirties regardless of how much you look at it in terms of bright eyes, voices, and the overall appearance. No, I don't think I'm in my late twenties.

Heroes!

Though he is young, he is gentle enough to be alarmed at the sight of it, but he is not ordinary. Such prayer of conquering a man naturally was in a way similar to that of the first prince whom he had brought to the throne for a long time.

“Commander, Landrell was a friend of mine back in the Academy. He has something to discuss with his nephew. ”

It was Dylan who had said it comfortably before, but after the blood clot with Geratz, Harun was so polite that he was embarrassed in front of others.

“Really? Nice to meet you. I'm Harun. Please sit here. ”

It was nice knowing Dylan.

“It's a pleasure to meet the famous storm trooper commander. This is my nephew, Hilton. ”

Since my brotherhood is a boss with honors, I can't establish the authority of the nobles myself, so I'm careful what I say. Landrell picks up his embarrassment and sits down with Hilton on Harun's recommendation. I didn't know what leather was on the floor, but I liked that it was very comfortable and soft.

I thought Dylan and his friend were knights, but they were wise men and wizards with deep, intense eyes. The Hilton bastard who came with him looked the same.

“I was just about to call Lord Dylan for tea. ”

“Is that so? Haha! He's blessed to eat. I'll get the tea cups. ”

Dylan hurriedly brings a cup of tea ready on the other side of the barracks.

‘Huh. What a surprise. That guy's changed too much over the years. It's famous for being unofficial, but it's so trivial to do it yourself. ’

Lantrel has not adapted to the changing look of a friend he's met in a long time. I never imagined that a fellow who received a position as a proximal knight directly from the emperor in recognition of his talents and skills as a nobleman in the baron's territory would ever take on a young friend as a commander.

Harun puts the Omicha in the water of the kettle boiling on the charcoal and boils a little more. In a moment, the barracks were filled with five distinctive smells of Omi Tea. Not only did I drink all kinds of tea while living in the imperial court, but Lantrel and Hilton's noses, which enjoyed tea in their profession, widened their eyes a few times.

“Oh, what kind of car is this? ”

Landrell asked Dylan.

“Hahaha. It's Omicha. A charger made of very special herbs. I don't usually enjoy cars, except for this one. Fragrance, flavor and deep, mysterious flavors allow you to experience a different world through tea. ”

The subtle and deep scent of the tip of the nose closed the eyes of Landrell and Hilton. I wanted to feel the aroma a little more clearly.

“Hmm, this is the best. ”

Glug glug!

Harun followed Omicha to a cup of pottery he asked the Dwarves to bring.

Lantrell's eyes open to the sound and he smiles unwittingly. This moment is as dreamy as a dream, with the sweet sound of tea followed, the smell of dark spreading, a friend I've long met, and a hero I've always wanted to meet.

Hilton smiled brightly as well, but it had been a long time since he had seen his nephew.

Do I have that smile on my face? ’

Wizards are destined for those who seek wisdom, and they live in pursuit of it. The magical world is endless. It cannot always be satisfied with a new, higher longing for magic. That's why Landrell, who had always been optimistic, lost his smile and became as interested in magic as all the other wizards were.

Though I am participating in the Golden Battle at the prince's request, it is a decision out of the idea of overcoming the decade of identity without breaking the walls of the Seven Circles, and I do not wish to do so.

It is the first lantrel to realize that only the scent of a good tea can make you this satisfied and happy. So I didn't intend to do it here, but I felt like the walls of the seven solid circles that had pushed him into despair had somehow become thinner.

The people who were tasting the next moment drank tea little by little.

‘Ha! That's fantastic. ’

I felt the sweet taste on the tip of my tongue, followed by the salty and sour taste, and it was spicy, and the sudden taste was bitter. This subtle taste was the first time I had experienced it. I've never had tea so delicately mixed.

The feeling of five flavors in a row or two or three simultaneously was as inspiring as seeing a truly magical new taste.

After enjoying the subtle taste of the tea with my tongue and mouth, I handed it over to my neck, and my mouth felt fresh and tender. The unparalleled aromatic aroma and the remaining flavors were no different from the unacceptable pleasures.

Dylan closes his eyes and focuses on the nerves in the car as he always does when he drinks this Omicha, leaving no tension on his whole body. Every neuron in his body was moved in response to Omicha, giving him a similar satisfaction as finding a new sword that he did not know was a sensation of joyfulness and tremor.

There was a fragrant silence in the barracks for a while. The knights waiting outside the barracks only sighed after a time that was long enough for them to seriously consider going inside because they thought it was strange.

“Ugh! You already drank it all. ”

Dylan looks at the empty cup with a sad look on his face. His nose, mouth and head were still filled with the fragrance and flavor of Omicha, but his eyes were filled with sorrow.

“I've never had so much tea. What a pity. ”

Landrell was eager to understand his friend's heart. He was the same. Turns out Hilton, too, couldn't swallow the tea he was holding in his mouth.

“Thank you for treating me to such a precious tea. ”

Landrell thanked Harun with all his heart. Obviously, I had never been treated like this.

“I'm also pleased to have this Omi tea with someone who enjoys tea. ”

It was just a cup of tea, but the barracks had just turned into a warm atmosphere. A cup of Omicha creates a strong bond between the first people I meet.

“Yes, can I hear what you've come all this way to say? ”

“Yes, I'll tell you. In fact, I serve the First Prince. ”

Landrell told me all at once about his current position and the quest for the First Crown Prince. In the meantime, Harun was able to learn many new facts by explaining the details of the royal family's relationship and the meeting between the senate, the owner of another empire, and the highest aristocracy.

“Hmm, I understand the situation clearly. ”

After hearing Harun's words, Landrell and Hilton were able to read the strong possibility that he would be able to complete this quest.

In fact, Hilton and his accomplice, Landrell, were more concerned about whether the quest was real or not. No matter how great a mercenary may be, he doubted that the mercenaries knew the Elven language that neither the wise nor the high magicians knew. He thought it was impossible to negotiate with the Elves to get them into the dungeon.

“Your Majesty is willing to accept any condition that the commander desires unless it is excessive. ”

“Let's go talk to the elves first. We'll talk about success pay later. I think we can, but we don't know until we talk about it. ”

What a surprise. The mercenary commander says that there is a high probability of success, which I did not understand.

“Sir Dylan, get ready. Let's go meet the Dwarves right away. It's almost time for a settlement party, so go enjoy the festival and ask them to arrange a seat with the Elves. ”

“Yes, commander. Are we going alone? ”

We ask them if they are accompanying other members.

“I'll go with you. After all this time, Lord Nana Dylan won't be able to get rid of the dwarves she's befriended, and the rice on her back if she doesn't meet the Elves. ”

“Haha! Wise judgment. So let me tell you. ”

Dylan makes his way across the barracks next to him, bursting into the barn.

“Do you need to leave right away? ”

I don't know what the hell I'm thinking. It was a lantrel that never thought that there would be any kind of creature in the world that could travel freely with dwarves, not elves. Harun's words show that he has a relatively mild relationship with the elders of the Dwarves.

“Yes. I need to go and arrange a meeting with the elves first. ”

“Well, then, can't I come with you? ”

“Yes?”

Harun hesitates on a sudden request, and Lantrel blushes briefly.

“I've never actually seen a dwarf before, either. I don't know about horses, but if I could see them up close, my glasses would widen. ”

Harun smiles gladly. In fact, even though I couldn't fully calculate his mind, I thought I would understand some of the wizard's periods that were highly intelligent and curious.

“Of course. It won't be dangerous to travel with dwarves in some way. But they are so objectionable to humans that they cannot accompany them. Instead, we guarantee safety. ”

“Go, thank you! ”

Landrell thanks you with a excited face. Hilton keeps poking you in the side, but you don't even flinch. I couldn't take him there. There had to be someone to report to the Emperor.

‘I gave this opinion! ’

That's what Hilton's eyes say, but he ignores you lightly. He's still young, so we can have this opportunity later, but not him. If not, when will I meet the remaining heretics?

“Hilton, you take the knights back and report all this to the court. You must be very curious about the situation, so stand up without delay. ”

“Yes… eh! ”

Hilton looks at Landrel with grumbling eyes, reluctantly answering, and returns to the First Prince's camp with the knights.

Dylan, who came to the barracks with three men, looks at Landrel in his robes and says to Harun,

“Commander, can I borrow some armor from this fellow? Just in case you're a wizard. ”

“There's nothing wrong with that. ”

Harun gave me armor made of Rump Orc hide.

Landrell looks at Dylan with a slightly confused look on his face, but he can't help but wear his armor with a wink. Dylan smiles and asks you to watch Von Trall's mouth crack a few times while he moves around in his armor.

“This armor is only worn by a squadron of blast mercenaries. While you're wearing this armor, think of yourself as one of our own. Do you understand?”

“Ah... yes, I understand. But how can you use this armor? ”

The protective gear for the Gust Mercenary was light and worn without any material. But that wasn't the end. It felt like 30 years of youthful vigor, full of strength and strength. My body seemed to be getting younger and stronger as if it had gone back to the twenties.

He was the first mate of the Crown Prince, but I had never seen armor with this option in hard leather. Power will increase by more than twice at a time if this kind of armor can be supplied in bulk. I couldn't help but pay attention to him who was involved in the knights' supply.

But he couldn't hear the answer. It was an unexpected visit.

A few days ago, Peel and Elzer meet up and come looking for them.

“What brings you here? ”

“There you are. I have urgent business to discuss with you, so I came here at this ambitious hour. ”

“What are you talking about? A friend and his father are coming to see me. What time do you need? Please, come inside. ”

“Thank you.”

Pierel smiles slightly as if he liked Harun's words, but his whole face looks a little serious. The people who came into the barracks just saw the crew preparing for their journey.

“Where are you going? ”

“I'm on my way to meet the dwarves. I have business to attend to and a request to attend to. ”

“Really?"

In Harun's reply, Peel and the followers glared at him.

In the meantime, Dylan's gaze is placed on one of the characters standing behind Peel, and his staring opponent is also casting a hot glance at him. The unseen howl and speculation were rising like flames in their eyes.

At first, it was just an exchange of gazes, but then a vigorous surge of energy came out of the two of them and they began to fill the narrow barracks. Others started flinching with intense speculation that wrapped around the body as the skin became irritated.

Daglac!

The empty cup of tea begins to tremble, and the barracks suddenly flare as if hit by a drafty wind. In their momentum, people unknowingly retreated.

Blah, blah!

There is nothing in the void between the two people who fixed their gaze and placed their hands on the sword, but air strikes. In their heads, everything was being erased except for the other person. The two prosecutors of similar stature were recognizing each other by simply exchanging their eyes.

People's faces began to distort. The two people who were typing Mana began to radiate Mana to the other person with their whole body, not their sword, and the impact of the mana was so intense that people around them could not even breathe.

‘What a bunch of people. ’

Harun sighs lightly, taking out the antidote, swallowing it, and taking out the secret ingredient from Kanjen's lair. I couldn't stand myself anymore. In the case of Henny, his face was already white.

- Get ready, bitch!

- Yes, Master. People who have no concept at all.

Bitch grumbles, but joins the ranks in response to Harun's summoning.

“Enough!”

Harun screams like a thunderbolt and throws a screech between the two of them.

Blah!

It is an empty space with nothing, but as soon as the screams cut through the space, there was a thunderclap.

“Huff!”

“Hehe!”

I heard the oppressed groaning in the mouths of the two men who were emitting a powerful force with him. The two of them staggered for a moment to see if they were somewhat shocked and then stabilized. Their gaze is slit in half as if they were alive, and they are drawn to the slow ascension back to Harun.

‘What a commander you are. ’

Dylan nods and pulls the radiant force in.

"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! Rumors have been underestimated. A mercenary approaching the Sword Master or something like that. It's strange. ’

The eyes of the prosecutor against Dylan are filled with pure reverence, astonished. He couldn't admit that this was spiritual power.

What surprised me more than them were Pierre and Elzer. Peel, in particular, understood the situation better than anyone else because he had already set foot in Expert's rank, although still lacking both of them.

What, did something happen to make that pervert into such a monster? ’

Did you approach Elzer for any reason? This doesn't make any sense, no matter how powerful the spirits are! ’

Others were surprised as well. The crew who usually knew his skills were surprised, so the guests said.

“If you don't want to leave, please take your seats. Henny, some tea, please. ”

“Okay, boss. ”

He was still pale, but Henny left Huddak's barracks and brought a long bag of water. Meanwhile, the people sitting round in the barracks were enjoying the horror in silence.

The conversation only started after Henry put the Omicha in front of everyone. Peel introduced both sides.

“Greetings. This is Harun leading the gale mercenaries. And these are the first royal vassals from my guests. ”

1The word Empress surprised Landrell, as well as the storm troopers.

“Greetings. I am Harun, leader of the gale mercenaries." ”

“Nice to meet you, too, hero of the mercenary world. I am Earl Merolus, your humble servant. ”

Earl Merolus was a nobleman of half-white hair and beard, who looked deep and intense in his eyes and seemed to have an exceptional phylactery.

“In a place that was unexpected, I made a mistake. I apologize for the confusion. I'm Knight Eindelph. ”

He apologized politely, but his gaze was fixed on Harun and Dylan. In his eyes, there was still a lively flame. He was the inevitable figure of the knight.

“This is our crew. I have a lot of questions, but let's say hello later, individually, and let's hear it first. We were just about to make our move. ”

“I see. ”

Earl Merolus nods as he looks at the unpacking situation.

“The fact that the Empress is secretly entrusting the gale mercenaries to inquire of Lord Piel here has been introduced to me because she knows him well. ”

He pauses and calms his attention. He speaks in a more stealthy voice.

“I'll tell you the quest, assuming there won't be any leakage. I heard the Storm Mercenary Captain speaks a foreign language. ”

“We can communicate to some extent. ”

I haven't talked to the Elves yet, but I'm sure it's possible. I don't even know how I got this ability.

“Empress 1Her Majesty wishes to enter the dungeon in secret through negotiations with the Elves. Is that possible? We can give you anything you want. ”

Harun nods silently. Just as I thought. Why can't I think of what the Crown Prince can think of as another faction? If there are forces that have been preparing for the Emperor's throne for decades, there will be people with real heads.

Harun looks at Landrell instead of answering. I haven't accepted the quest yet, but the priority was with him because he had asked me first. A figure in the First Empress's camp, who was looking at Harun's gaze, finally recognizes Landrell and cries out in horror.

“Woe to you, Dust? ”

Then the eyes of the first princess who recognized Landrell grew wide. The dust was wearing the armor of a storm trooper, and Harun and Dylan's prayers and impressions were so intense that they didn't even notice him.

“Haha! It's been a long time, Earl. ”

“What brings you here? Do you?”

Earl Merolus looks like his eyes have been torn apart if anything comes to mind.

“Just as the Earl thought. Perhaps we've come to the same conclusion. Fortunately, we commissioned the storm troops first. ”

Earl Merolus and the people's faces stiffen for a moment when he hears the answer.

The fact that the Dust Sands wore the armor of the storm troopers ruined the situation. And I knew where those who were preparing to leave were headed.

“I'm afraid we have to find another way, Earl. ”

I was competing fiercely for the Great Pit, and this time I was fortunate enough to hear the voice of the emperor who did not miss the sail. Earl Merolus and Eindelph's face distorted and became a sudden glare.

In fact, this room was prepared by the First Daughter's camp's chief of staff for several days. If I hadn't told Pierce on a few quests that the mysterious mercenary squadron commander was able to communicate with the xenogens, I wouldn't have been able to figure it out.

You hear a clear voice when the face of the first princess intersects with embarrassment, defeat, and grief.

“That's not true. Nothing's been decided yet. ”

“W-what are you talking about? ”

The woman in a cotton wool who was sitting next to Eindelph asked, looking at the woman I just told you about. with a passionate look in his eyes.

“Literally. It has not been decided whether or not to accept the quest. We don't even know if the Dwarves with our mercenaries and faces can arrange a meeting, so we can offer it to anyone. ”

Hennie says that people's expressions are changing rapidly. Landrell's face distorted, and the people of the First Lady's camp, including Eindelph, spread out.

As soon as Landrell tried to say something, another visitor appeared.

“Captain Harun! Commander Tino, are you in there? ”

Tino's eyes widen with the sound coming from outside. He was the voice he had heard all his life. It was Debron's voice.

As Tino hurries outside, Debron stands with a knight.

“Devon! ”

“Haha, you've come to the right place. ”

Debron looks at Tino and smiles brightly.

“How did you get here? ”

“Hehe, as soon as I got to this Treasure Basin, I was glad to hear the name of the Squawking Squad. ”

Tino blushes his eyes at Debron's appearance, which is even taller than when he split up. Although it is not the old Tino now, it breaks my heart that I am Debron, like the Lord.

But Harun hurries out of the barracks before he opens his mouth again.

“Devon! ”

“Haha, Zhang Hai! ”

I don't know what's so great about it, but in Harun's eyes, only thinning and stretching wrinkles appear like Tino did. It breaks my heart to see Debron like a teacher.

Harun gives Devron a warm hand without a word.

Those who followed after Harun wondered who Debron was that greeted the commander and commander of the gale mercenaries so far. But I couldn't talk anymore. More uninvited guests showed up.

“Commander, it's been a long time. ”

It was avan.

“Haha, I'm here too. ”

Baltrang and the Apocalypse appeared. They came with different characters, but not one group. I came alone.

“Looks like a lot of customers are coming today. ”

“What are you talking about, Lord Dylan? ”

Dylan didn't have to answer Henny's questions with his own mouth. In the dark, another team is competitively approaching their barracks.
