Possessing Nothing

Mercenaries are opportunists. What choices should you make in front of your choice to benefit you more? Such is the value of mercenaries.

Also, they don't trust their colleagues. The remuneration of quests changes the rate of settlement depending on the number of survivors, but not one or two mercenaries who think they will kill the opponent in order to monopolize it.

Lee Sung-min, a mercenary, knew it well. Unghee-ryong, royalty, stature, Renier. A party who proposed a subjugation quest. Sung-min doesn't trust them. We decided to subdue the Orc colonies together because of the difficult reparations we encountered at Genabis, but that didn't make us allies.

'If you see any gaps.'

Or if their attitudes change.

Either way, I can betray you. It was the same for Lee Sung-min. Four of them, one of them. The difference in numbers is surely a fact, and that puts a heterosexual into a disadvantage. Lee Sung-min was well aware of that.

Nevertheless,

Orcs have to go deep into the forest to get out. Since their camp is deeper than the Goblins', we should go into the forest and walk for half a day.

In fact, if you use the new law, you can move faster, but Unhee Dragon, Geography Dragon, and the King's Hand did not use the new law. The reason was that Lee Sung-min also guessed.

They are not very good masters. Although the group leader was the best, such a group of Unhee dragons barely seemed to laugh at the second class. I don't have enough internal air volume, and I'm not so good at running through complex forests with new methods.

That's why the group walks a little faster. It was to save the air for battle.

As he traveled with them, he learned a lot of information. One such information was that the leader of the group was Unhee Dragon.

Other information. The members of the Mercenary Guild who have asked for this quest have a lot of post-wishes. Although the mercenary grade of the figure was unknown, Lee guessed that the mercenary grade of the figure would be D to E. That was the only grade I could get at a second-rate level.

Lee Sung-min used to be a second-rate mercenary, too. Lee was able to become a Class C mercenary not because of his pure skills, but because of his career. It would be Class D if the amount of performance experienced would be higher.

Lenir, a wizard of the Bellas School, was also part of the Mercenary Guild. Judging by the volume and the open speech, they were probably of the same grade.

The Black Rain was also a man of few words. He had been silent since the first introduction so much information could not be gathered. However, based on the attitude of the leader, Unhee Dragon, Wang and Un Hee Dragon have been eating since before this.

Nose class two, followed by a porter.

They didn't introduce themselves, they didn't talk to each other. I just walked behind him. In the name of the porter, they carry a large backpack behind their back. It looks like a bag to hold loot that was left unattended in a sub-space pocket.

“Huff... Puff...”

“Hehe! Hehe! ”

Behind my back are the oar classes. It was natural. Walking through the woods is not an easy task. The sun's rays descend through the shade of the trees, uneven on the ground. Even the practiced Muslims were sweating, but the oak class carrying a large bag was sturdy.

But no one cared about them. Sometimes I just look back and make sure they're following me, and if I fall too far back, I yell.

“Why don't you take a little break? ”

Eventually, Lee said that.

“If we care about them, we will be defeated. We can't just abandon them, and we've been walking for a long time. I think you should get some rest. ”

“So is he. ”

Unhee agrees. She gathers around the shade and rests. The oar classes sat nearby and took a breath.

“Stupid things. ”

The figure grunts. Lenir sits beside it, kneeling down. Lenir pulls out a small pocket from the inside of the robe. It was about the size of a fist, similar to the subspace pocket that Lee Hyung-min had.

‘Is that the subspace pocket the mercenaries supported this time? ’

It is said to be a large subspace pocket. Even if it's small, the spatial distortion magic hanging in that pocket will be nothing compared to what Lee has.

Lenir picks out a simple snack from his subspace pocket and chews the jerky the Nose Classes picked up on their own.

Lee Sung-min ate the bread he received from Lenir. The bread was warm and fluffy like it had just been baked. It's nothing compared to the dry jerky that the oak classes chew.

“... Are they part of the mercenary guild? ”

“Huh?"

Lenir tilts her head. Lee Sung-min didn't seem to understand what Lenir was saying, so he pointed to the no classes with his eyes.

“Ah. Them? Yeah, that's right. I belong to the Mercenary Guild, but I'm not a mercenary. ”

Lenir replies.

An apprentice mercenary. It simply means a mercenary who cannot carry out a quest alone. In fact, you can't call yourself a mercenary. The Apprentice Mercenary is not rated mercenary and has little benefit as a member of the Mercenary Guild.

The physician of the existence of the Apprentice Mercenary is a worker who can be easily and comfortably dispatched in the Mercenary Guild. I use it as a porter in these quests and get the guild to do errands.

‘I applied to the Mercenary Guild, but I guess I didn't qualify for the rank. That's why I became an apprentice mercenary. ’

Low-ranking mercenaries are not treated well within the guild. Not to mention an apprentice mercenary with no rank at all. He tries to insult and gets beaten up.

In his previous life, he started with the lowest grade, Class G mercenary. Nevertheless, I received beatings and guts as usual. The tough talk and grit of mercenaries made Seong-min think of suicide every day.

Lee Sung-min, a G-rank mercenary, had such recklessness, but he didn't have to think about the pressure of an apprentice mercenary who didn't even have a grade. Lee Lee kicked his tongue and looked at the two apprentice mercenaries.

‘But I still have to live. ’

Even if an apprentice mercenary is such a poor job, a minimum stay is guaranteed. Perhaps that's why they became apprentice mercenaries.

“How many Orcs are there? ”

“Approximately 50. ”

The figure answers. Orcs and Goblins are naturally very fertile. It is common for hundreds of Orcs and Goblins to live in tangles.

However, the Orc and Goblin districts of Genevis are not that big. 50 lines at most.

“Nothing dangerous will happen. Those Orcs are stupid and slow. ”

He said with a scorned face. Lee Sung-min doesn't like that kind of overconfidence. It's because not many of those confident bastards have seen so much.

After the break, you begin your move again. This is Orc territory from here. How many times have I been to this place?

“Are you going to the front? ”

“I intend to. ”

When Lee Hye-ryong heard the answer, Seong-min sighed. Lucky Dragon's answer was the same, but Lenir was also cooperating with the amount of land belonging to the Mercenary Guild.

‘Crazy bastards, what balls? ’

“... Wouldn't that be reckless? ”

Lee Seong-min made a sad comment. I wanted to humiliate myself, but I couldn't.

“What is reckless? ”

“One Orc won't be stronger than you. Yeah, that must be it. But aren't they 50? ”

Lee Sung-min tried to convince the other four by picking out the words as much as he could.

“If they keep coming back and forth, we're going to be exhausted. ”

“The small talk is discreet. ”

Lee Hee Ryong smiled and said. It was either a compliment or a sarcasm. Lee did not respond much to him.

“Even though there are a lot of Orcs, one of them isn't that great. They can't use aerials, they can't use aerials. ”

“That's right. I can capture it with my magic if you just drag the time ahead. ”

Assholes. A mercenary with a head like that. I was surprised to hear Lenir say that even though I'm not used to orcs. Apparently, Lenir was not so familiar with the practice, but rather a wizard of a tribe of magical experiences within the academic community.

“I've fought a lot with Orcs. The Orcs are not as great as they used to be, as the Meteorological Commonwealth said. But they're swarming, and they're as brave as they are ignorant. If we are surrounded by them, we may face the worst. ”

Lee looked at Lenir after saying that.

“If we break through, Lenir will be in big trouble, too. ”

Lee endured as much as he wanted to make that nuance.

“… Hmm. So what do you want me to do? ”

Lucky Lucky Dragon has slipped away. The amount of land and Renier are inexperienced, and Lucky Dragon or the Royal Warrior are not very familiar with monsters named Orcs. Eventually, the most experienced rational person had to lead.

“... First of all, Lenir. I'm a little preoccupied here, but can you tell me about the magic of the Bellas school? ”

“… the Bellas specialize in wind magic. I do... But there aren't many kinds of magic that I know how to use. ”

Lenir looks embarrassed and replies. I knew it. I convinced Lee Sung-min. Renier, who is not well built, chases the speed at which the Muslims cross the forest. An apprentice mercenary, an adult male, drenched in sweat and breathed a harsh breath, but Lenir was fine.

A wizard who specializes in wind magic can convince you of that. Magic is a technology that is as convenient as killing someone easily.

“… good. ”

Lee Sung-min thought for a long time, then nodded slightly. When he opened his mouth, others looked at him.

“Let's get the orcs out. ”

I thought of several ways and ran the simulation. There is no guarantee that this will happen, but Lee did not just climb from Class G to Class C. He has 10 years of experience as a mercenary.

“Orcs are monsters with clear notions of their own realm. First of all... Please let Lenir use magic near their camp to" smell "their town. ”

“Smell?”

“Yes. Human body odor. If you catch the scent of a human, the patrols will leave town to hunt down the source of the scent. ”

“Then am I not in danger? ”

Lenir grimaces and spits. Lee Sung-min heard that and shook his head.

“There are some ambushes and they'll attack the Orcs heading towards Lenir. In the meantime, Lenir can help us fight the Orcs by preparing for attack magic. ”

“That's it? ”

“No. We will draw the Orcs out of the village twice. ”

Lee Sung-min looked at Renir and his figure.

“Don't you have a flare? ”

“… Are you talking about this? ”

A wand the size of the palm of your hand is pulled out of your chest. Signal from the Mercenary Guild to the Mercenaries. Remove the lid from the top of the stick, friction with the inside will ignite, emitting red smoke. This item is used when you ask for help or when you find a target.

“I'll use it a little further from their village. If you see smoke coming, the Orcs will be on their guard and come out of town. You can confirm that Orc Patrol is coming out of the forest, then escort them out with Lenir. ”

“You want to go alone? ”

“I have no intention of engaging. I'll be joining you soon, so don't worry. ”

“… umm…”

Lee Hee-ryong groans low. Then, he said, shaking his head.

“If we're pulling out the Orcs twice, we'd better split up. I'll go with you. ”

“… Then I thank you. ”

Lee Sung-min did not refuse the consideration of the Lucky Dragon. The group splits into two. An apprentice mercenary acting as Lee Sung-min, Unhee Dragon, and Porter uses a flare to draw Orcs out. Renir and the other apprentice mercenaries draw Orcs near the town.

“Come on, let's hurry. ”

Unhee said in a cheerful voice, receiving a flare from the amount of land.
