367 Alien Invasion 3 (2/2)
'That man… Guard commander Hansel?'
”You know me, right?”
”Yes, sir. My father used to work with you in his mercenary days.”
”Good. You remember then.”
Hansel seemed to be satisfied. There was no way Braim would not remember him as Hansel used to help his father's pub that he opened after retiring from mercenary work.
”Are you trained in combat?”
”Huh? O-of course, sir. Yes I am.”
”Good. Then you take care of these ten there.”
Hansel glanced toward at young soldiers who seemed to be in fear.
'Ugh.'
Braim sighed, but knew what happened here. These young soldiers were new recruits who were sent to the field without being properly trained.
”You want to babysit them?”
Hansel then smiled.
”Yes, but we are at war. These kids need to do their part. You are their temporary instructor. Teach them how to fight. Can you do it?”
”Ugh.”
”Fall back for now, and teach them some basics.”
”Yes, sir.”
Braim then waved at the kids. One of the kids then helped Billy stand up. Braim smiled and said, ”You, what's your name?”
”My name's Hecks.”
”I'm Bellay.”
”I'm Thomas.”
Every kid said their name. They seemed to be similar in age.
”How old are you all?”
”Fourteen.”
”Nine!... I mean Twelve!”
The smallest boy seemed to have lied about his true age.
Braim sighed. The area was close from Berhen Town where the town kids had volunteered to fight to protect their village, even before they became fearstruck from the real battle.
