Chapter 176 (1/2)

”Ah……”

At almost the exact same ti his right leg, and both of us exclaimed in unison

……Come to think of it, this is the first ti I haven't been on the battlefield for long enough, so I haven't seen enough injured soldiers yet

The slave soldiers would have already been inspected for weapons before locking theed cloths that were unable to conceal anything Consider how thin and weak they all appear, I doubt that our soldiers would treat them violently

When they were captured, I heard that they put up al an injured slave like this boy into a unit consisting of only young slave soldiers would be only natural As I was thinking so, the boy as now standing seereat difficulty

”Do you, want, so?”

His voice was listless and dry While he had an accent, he was speaking in Arxian I hid my surprise

”How and where did you learn the Arxian language? I recall that Nazric never had any interactions with Arxia”

I answered hie, and it was easy to tell that the boy was stunned Although his expression didn't change much, his eyes indicated that my words stirred some emotions deep within him For an injured slave soldier like him to be unreasonably forced to join a scout unit, it was evident that he was exhausted as would be natural, but I could also tell that he's the type to suppress his e, he's the same type as me

He see his eyes It would appear that he's carefully considering his words This is so that isn't possible for ordinary commoners Now then, just who is he? This boy

”……I'm, probably not who you think I am While Nazric indeed never had any direct contact with Arxia, it's actively traded before with other countries that in turn trade with Arxia For us se northern country of Arxia could influence our very fates My country Nazric desperately studied knowledge about Arxia This information was drilled into us I learned Arxian in class as part of that knowledge……”

I nodded in response to the flood of infor out of this boy who seehtly older than me As I took a step closer, the boy seeht for a moment on what to do, then I mentally snorted at myself because I had already decided what I should do already I will do it just because I want to, although it could be said that it wouldn't be very noble-like of me

Fortunately, this time it was very clear to me just what I should do

”Elise, go to Ergnade and report to hieon Gunther, please give him some of our provisions, and make sure he receives some food Also, summon Oscar over to me”

As I abruptly ended the conversation with the boy and gave brief, direct orders to my two subordinates behindat s In the captives' listless eyes, I could finally see another emotion

Being surrounded by me, Oscar, Ratoka, and Claudia, the boy fro pressured by all of us seeave to hiain He said earlier that he wasn't who I thought he was,that he wasn't a noble or royalty after all, so as it that he had so difficulty saying his own na s to me
