104 Camp (2/2)

The first man beside Porthos is ministering to him.

This sharp-eyed first man's name is Honess.

He is the head of the Freedom Fighters Union of the Kingdom of Velos.

Unlike the Free Fighters Association of the Free City of Thessia, the Free Fighters Union of the Kingdom of Velos is a closed organization that only citizens of the Kingdom of Velos are allowed to join.

The Velos Civil Liberty Fighters, led by Honneth, are also participating in this expedition.

And the guys Honneth refers to are the freedom fighters who do not have citizenship.

In fact, the freedom fighters participating in this expedition can be roughly divided into two types.

Those with citizenship of some country, and those without citizenship of any country.

And many of the warriors in this legion are not citizens.

The properly educated freedom fighters with citizenship are disciplined, but the freedom fighters without citizenship have few who are disciplined.

Perhaps because they live a life where they do not know when they will die, they live a momentary life without thinking about the future.

If they have money, they spend it on liquor and women as soon as they have it. They do not save money.

When they have something they want, they steal it.

I've heard that there was no shortage of people trying to steal supplies on the march.

The Red Bear Warriors, to which Remus and Karis belonged, were truly an exception.

Therefore, it seems that the knights and soldiers and Honess's companions had quite a hard time keeping their supplies from being taken out without permission.

From Honess' point of view, they seem to be no different from the outlaws.

It seems that the knights under Porthos feel the same way.

Some of them nodded their heads.

'They were truly troubled. They even call us cowards hiding behind the walls. They are utterly disagreeable.

One of the knights says angrily.

'Well, well, everyone calm down. That's the end of it for today. Tomorrow we will let them work to the fullest. To that end, I've ordered that more drink and food be served today than usual.

Porthos says with a laugh.

'About that: ....... General Porthos. That forest is really dangerous. Wouldn't it be better to call it off now?

I propose again to stop.

'Lord Sage. Are we talking about that again? But that won't convince the warriors.

Porthos says with a troubled look on his face.

'For most warriors, fighting is their job. What I propose may take away their work.

Especially for the warriors of Thors, fighting and dying is an honor.

And some of the warriors who aren't are looking for a reward this time.

Maybe they can't stop now that they've come this far.

''Certainly, yes, but ....... It might be dangerous even for us to begin with.

I say, lowering my voice.

Even without Cyrone's childhood friend, the Dark Knight, the White and Silver Witch is dangerous.

I don't know what's going to happen.

''Don't worry. Sage Lord. At that time, we will retreat alone. It's our job to bring back the information in the first place.''

Porthos smiles, smiling.

How many warriors will this cost us?

It was a headache, even though they had chosen it themselves.

Remus, a member of the Red Bear Warriors

I walk through the forest under the setting sun, returning to my companions.

Karis said that the valet of the brave master will bring me sweets.

She says she will return a little late.

It's hard to walk because it's dark and I can't see my feet.

The Red Bear Warriors, to which I belong, camp in the most out-of-the-way place.

This is because Commander Arcus has taken on the most dangerous part of the camp.

It's just like the commander.

'The dark-haired wise man. She was very beautiful.

It reminds me of what I just said.

It's a great honor to be called excellent by such a beautiful person.

I can't help but smile.

'Aren't you in a good mood?　Remus.

That was the moment I heard a voice from the side.

Suddenly, a foot sweep is applied.

I lose my stance and fall straight to the ground.

'What are you doing!　Torx!

I turn around from my fall and shout at the person who shuffled my feet.

The voice is Torx, a member of the Red Bear Warriors, just like me.

There's no way I'd mishear him.

'What are you doing?　You're wagging your tail at the cowards holed up inside the walls. Are you still one of us?

”If you can help the General!　It's an order from the Commander!　I didn't do anything shady!

I shout out and glare at the one standing behind the tree.

'What!　The way you talk to me!　A man who can't fight a good fight is a big deal!

Torx steps on my chest as he approaches.

''Guffaw!

I can't breathe.

I try to get my foot out of his way, but it won't budge.

Oh, come on. I'm just stepping on it. You're not gonna have a problem with that. Why is your daughter in a guy like this: ......

Torx's voice has anger in it.

The young lady Torx is referring to is Karis.

Torx likes Karis. That's why he doesn't like me being with him all the time.

He's my age, and he's the second strongest warrior of his age, next to Charis.

In a warrior group where strength is the standard of value, the weak me being on Karis' side is unacceptable.

But I don't care about that.

I stared at the darkness and struggled to move my feet.

But the leg doesn't move.

I haven't gotten the inspiration of a beast, but Torx's strength is real.

He may think he's treading lightly, but he's still stronger than my full strength.

'Haha, you're a pathetic guy. You really should die.

Torx's cold voice.

I feel the force of my foot stepping on my chest growing stronger.

Not good! I could die!

What are you doing?　Torx!

That's when I came to a daze.

I hear Karis' voice.

I feel Torx pull away from me.

I suck in a breath and sit up.

I see golden eyes in the darkness.

It's definitely Karis.

'I didn't do anything to you. 'I didn't do anything, miss. I was just practicing on Remus for a bit. That's right. Remus?

'Lie!　Then step on that fallen Remus!　You don't have to!　Are you trying to kill me?!

Karis's angry voice.

She's inspired by a panther, and she usually has the ability to see in the dark even when she's not.

She must have been able to see us.

'Wait!　Charis!　It's true what Torx said!　I asked Torx to train me.

Exhaling roughly, I stop Karis.

I'm hated among the male warriors of my age. The reason for this is because I'm weak, yet I'm looked at by the Commander and Karis.

In contrast, Torx is strong and popular among the younger warriors.

If Karis is angry with Torx for helping me, it will cause a rift between the young warriors and Karis.

It must be avoided.

So I persevere.

'It's true. Karis ....... So you don't have anything to worry about.

I force a smile at that.

'That's what I mean. 'Miss. I'm going to go now.'

Torx leaves.

'Remus ....... Why?

Charis comes to my side.

He wants to ask me why I'm protecting Torx.

But I can't tell you that.

I can't fight Torx. I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of them.

I want to stay by Charis' side.

So I'll be patient.

It's really okay. ......

I tried to sound cheerful, not to worry Karis.
