Chapter 1404 (1/2)
After the voice of the officer dressed up fell, the young man finally reacted.
”Hum!”
After a cold hum, the young man turned his caught wrist.
The young man broke away from the officer's control over him with extremely exquisite techniques.
”Huh?”
The officer raised his eyebrows and then said in a deep voice:
”You use fighting skills in the army!”
”Are you... Also in the army?”
The young man did not answer the officer's question.
Instead, he quickly grabbed the sword just released from the officer at his feet, and then quickly stepped back a few steps to distance himself from the officer.
While pulling away from the officer, he pulled out the sword in the scabbard.
The officer stood up slowly as he looked at the young man's sword posture.
”... sure enough.” The officer whispered, ”you hold the sword... You are indeed a man in the army.”
”Shut up!” The young man roared, ”I'm not a soldier now! Just an ordinary farmer walking on his way home! ”
”Hurry up and hand over all your valuable things! As long as you hand over all your valuable things, I promise you - it will never hurt your life. ”
”I won't give you anything.” The officer replied in a calm tone, ”and I won't let you hurt my life. After all - I still have an important mission.”
”Then... Don't blame me...!” The young man slowly clenched the long sword in his hand

That evening——
”Come on, help yourself.”
The officer threw a freshly roasted chicken leg at the young man.
But the young man did not take the chicken leg off his leg.
Instead, he continued to stare at the officer with hostile eyes.
”Don't be unconvinced.”
The officer said in a calm tone without any emotion.
”With the determination to kill me, you cut at me with your sword.”
”And I subdued you with my bare hands and made you my prisoner - isn't it fair and reasonable?”
”So - since you dare to draw a sword at others, you must be prepared to accept any consequences.”
Speaking of this, the officer paused.
In order to further persuade the young man to eat well, the officer thought about the wording for a while and then said:
”We're lucky to hunt pheasants in such a wilderness.”
”Eat well with gratitude. If you miss this meal and want to eat chicken again, you don't know when to get it.”
”Hum!”
After the young man made a ”hum” sound full of displeasure and resentment with his nose, he grabbed the chicken leg thrown on his leg with his hands tied together by hemp rope and began to eat.
After the young man began to eat the drumstick, the officer also tore off the other drumstick of the roasted pheasant and ate it silently.
While gnawing at the chicken leg, the officer whispered:
”My name is Rocher. Rocher de Sanchez. Young man, what about you? ”
”Don't call me boy!” The young man said in an unhappy tone, ”you're not an old man. It's strange to call me a young man!”
”My name is barrister! Barrister Brunner! ”
”Are you a soldier?” Rochelle asked, ”which army did you belong to before?”
”... northern border army, 3rd army.”
As soon as barrest's voice fell, Rochelle stopped gnawing at the chicken leg.
After a long time, he resumed his action.
”You used to be a member of the northern border army...”
