Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Resume ▼ Episode 721: The Walk of the Ordinary and the Hero

A line of people and carriages continues down the streets where the wind that blows starts to get cold.

Is the number of carriages about six? Every carriage is hidden because of its front, but what would be loaded high inside tells the story of the slow carriage walk and the wheeling noise. It's like a fat bird walking. Slow legged carriages become prey to outfits.

This world is harsh. The continent is engulfed in the darkness of ignorance, and the human world is very narrow, remaining in some areas and rivers.

People exposed to the monster threat are forced to live in fear and lean against each other by pulling cages inside walls of high castles and other poor people inside coarse fences where trees are only shredded and roped together.

In this day and age, the journey is full of danger. The streets that connect the cities surrounded by walls are nothing but terribly weak "Wadachi", and must pass through a world that belongs to monster travellers everywhere.

Sometimes streets are interrupted by unspeakable landslides and out-of-season long rains. Sometimes the villages that existed until recently have disappeared without a trace after being attacked by epidemics and monsters.

Danger is not just about monsters and nature.

Some farmers can't stand poverty and become bandits. Death penalty if found by lords and guards, but rather than starve to death, sometimes the men of the village attack travellers and take away hardware.

It is one sad truth that the greatest danger to man is man.

"Well, let's hit this train, Optimus Optimus, there won't be any of them."

There are 30 elite men belonging to the strongest calling Swordtooth Corps, escorting them with all their steps to surround this lane.

It is rumored that even dragons can easily slaughter the battle power weaved by a combination of sword shield soldiers who serve as shields on the front line, axe spear soldiers who are at the centre of rushing and continuous striking power on the middle axis, and crossbowmen who boast the greatest striking power.

It is not a presence where the extent of banditry can be approached, and even a group of man-eating ghosts "orgs" would kick into a single armored sleeve.

"It's important to look good for something like this. Anyway, the deputy is coming home."

Speaking to Kenji, who sits in your seat in the leading carriage, is Jilboa, the leader of the Swordtooth Corps.

Around 10 years ago, Gilboa, who appeared as an adventurer in the city with his arms and charisma, ascended to a first-rate adventurer within the city, and the clan he launched put up many handles to continue standing in the midst of monster crusades and battle skirmishes, which now mean the same thing as the most powerful elite when it comes to sword fang soldiers.

That said, Jilboa, who is supposed to stand at the apex of the rough man, is an aristocratic appearance "for the sake of sight" that can also be regarded as soft with cool pale eyes on his long blonde hair, and if he is allowed to use the Devil's Sword on it, even a gathered army proud of its arms has nothing against him, his head and genius cut off and he is as sharp as a beast.

Does heaven give two or three things to a hero? Or maybe this is what heroes mean, and Kenji wants to sigh compared to us who are just ordinary people, etc.

It is no coincidence that the footsteps of the elites walking around the area can be heard in full, says Jilboa.

"We practice marching together. Remote requests have increased since I started using shoes from your workshop, and there have been more newcomers. I'm here to pick you up, well, as part of my training."

"Sure, you got more. How many are there now?"

When I first met him, the Swordtooth Corps was only one of the most common first-rate clans, with an elite but more than 20.

As a group that Jilboa starts from scratch and dictates everything, it was at its limit, I might say.

It was the beginning of the fringe that continues now that the deputy head of the regiment, Swiberry, was troubled with the operation and asked Kenji to consult the Consultant.

"Right. There are 30 First Combat Groups of Expedition Subjects, 30 Second Combat Groups of Nearby Sweeping Subjects, 10 Transport Groups, Accounting, Forge 2, Yupen 2, and 6 at the Festival. And then there's about 10 people to help the city girl."

"That's a lot..."

"I'm making it easier thanks to you"

"Yupen, did you also hire a letter expert"

"You still got eyes there, you're a boulder"

Jilboa says there are also more requests from remote aristocrats who have heard of the reputation of the Swordtooth Corps.

The noble letter has a unique norm, the Rules, which differs from the letters used by civilians from the font.

In modern society, where document software is installed, specialist personnel will be hired here.

In the new organisational chart of the soldiers described, there was another concern.

"Did you also accept personnel from the Church"

As for myself knowing Jilboa when I was about to do everything myself, it's not surprising.

"The report from Kilik, who did it to your escort, said that church personnel are quite usable, too. In fact, the adjustment has been a lot easier since I accepted it. There are a lot of requests from churches nowadays. Besides, if the Church is backed up by Buck, nobility will have to pay for it."

Jilboa laughed furiously when he said it off.

Is this what the leader of a mercenary regiment, who was worried about his ability to seek help from members until recently, would say?

There is a saying that gives the tiger wings, but should it be described as exactly like the golden leopard got the eagle wings, or as the eagle lion Griffon in this world style?

From Jilboa today, only a hero can feel the glow of letting his destiny follow him under his knees.

When the hero delivered the laugh, he pointed the spearhead of the joke at this one.

"As a request from an important figure in the church, you can't possibly not pick up the deputy, can you? In fact, there was a raid."

In the first place, they were being driven away from the shoe factory "Jika" surrounded by walls and into the development of remote territories in order to stay away from the struggle for rights.

I was supposed to spend a lot of time in the countryside with non-billies until it was almost cold, but when I realized it, they were making a lot of noise, and I became the feather of being summoned back abruptly with the ones that were endangered by the mercenary regiment that had raided the village.

"That's... well, force majeure."

"Did you say Paperino or something? The auxiliary dispatched from the church was acting like a saint would look at Kenji, right?

"Come on... the Saints wouldn't be escorted by carriage or entrusted with a report by a mercenary regiment, would they?

"That's thick. The monster's going to beat him to death."

From Paperino to Priest Nicolo: "Do not leave me at hand during the journey to hand it to you immediately. Never open it, however," the report entrusted had served as a substitute for what I would rather call a reporting box than a report, with dozens of sheets of thick parchment paper overlaid as Jilboa laughed bitterly and multiple leather strings wrapped around it spelled out on a thick leather cover, sealed with a church seal on the stop.

Indeed, if you wield it as a blunt weapon, you are likely to be able to beat to death about Goblin.

"I wonder what it says. Doesn't that bother you? Out of the blue, that might be a fervent recommendation to list you as a saint, huh?

"Don't joke about it. I'm not interested in the priest Bozo. Besides, the wax is an official church mark. It would be life-threatening if you had bad sorcery."

Gilboa's jokes, smiling and flirting, come to a close. but as a kenge, you can't honestly nod.

There is magic in this world. Advanced sorcery, which requires expensive catalysts for use, is the exclusive technology of the Sorcerer's Guild and Church.

Kenji was also about to be assassinated once when his spirit was manipulated by a mage hired by an adversary.

As only a one-time adventurer, I can only stay away from the magic "Something Terrible".

The carriage line goes on even while one ordinary man and one hero have a conversation.

To the shoe factory that Kenji started and the city surrounded by the walls where the headquarters of the Sword Tooth Corps is located.

It is the home of two people, as well as the human world where conspiracy and power struggle swirl.

Kenji sighed deeply and deeply at the feeling of trouble awaiting him.
