115 Crossing the Border (1/2)

Yale's group received a warm welcome in the border town, and they had a celebration party at night.

The main reason for that was the fact Yale's group exterminated that bandit group; those bandits had killed a lot of soldiers of the border town when they were outside the town patrolling, so everybody was happy they were finally eradicated.

Yale had decided to spend the next day resting; he knew that once he entered into the Anpaes Kingdom would be difficult to have time to rest.

Any border town was a dangerous place as they were just in front of the border with the Anpaes Kingdom and would always be the first ones in being attacked when half-beasts attacked and thus, they hadn't any healer with them.

They were already thankful that sometimes people come to supply medicinal pills to them, although a lot of times all the supplies were stolen on the way by the bandits.

The Zuatania Republic gave the job to guard the border to those who asked for military jobs, and wanted to obtain a lot of money in exchange; they never forced anyone to do the job. Although sometimes the only chance they had to enroll in the army and win money was going to the border, they didn't need to join the army to live or earn money.

Although the republic also wanted to recruit healers, no one offered for the job because healers could make a lot of money in secure towns without the need of risking their lives. Even if some join the army, they would be able to put conditions and avoiding the border unless a war happened was a condition every healer who joined the army asked.

Because Yale also knew that, he had also used some of his time to heal the soldiers, treating with pills was far slower than with healing magic after all, and there wasn't any heavy wound, so the healing process was quick.

It wasn't that the soldiers weren't heavily injured by the attacks of half-beasts, but those heavily injured were unable to survive without a proper healing, so the ones who were alive had only light wounds.

In fact, except the captain in Yale's group and Yale himself, all the others currently in the border town were only warriors, there weren't any mages or dual practitioners.

Pure Warriors were more limited to battle due to the lack of long-range attacks, but most half-beasts had the same problem unless their bloodline had access to some range attacks.

The mages and dual practitioners who were at least Rank 3, usually obtain better positions in the army and wouldn't get stationed in the border unless a war was about to happen. They weren't as picky as healers as they had less value than them, but their status was better than the pure warriors, and the government didn't want to lose such valuable part of the army by forcing them to go to the border.

The same happened with good bloodlines in the Anpaes Kingdom, they weren't as scarce as healers, but they were still valuable enough to avoid letting them waste their lives in outlaw groups.

Thus, the battles at the border usually ended in a melee struggle, which led to a lot of injuries on both sides, even if often the injuries weren't life-threatening, a lot of people died every year.

Yale contacted Tar to communicate that he was already in the border town and was about to leave the Zuatania Republic; he was already at the limit of range to contact Tar.

Of course, he spoke very well about the captain and the other soldiers; Yale hoped that they would get a good reward for escorting him all the way.

”Use the badge to summon me if you are in front of any danger. Remember your current level.”

Tar was worried as the Anpaes Kingdom was hostile towards humans. He guessed that Yale had his means, but he feared that he would be reckless as it happened to a lot of reincarnated experts.

”Don't worry Tar; I won't play with my life. By the way, in the end, what happened to that traitor in the city?”

Yale had reported the matter of the bandits to Tar, and they didn't need too much time to discover who had filtered the information. The culprit was already caught and judged by treason.

”The only thing that can happen for having betrayed the Zuatania Republic, a public execution. Furthermore, all his relatives have lost their citizenship together with all their properties.”

The Zuatania Republic moved with money and wasn't too restrictive about the freedom of the citizens as long they didn't break the laws, but betrayal was the worst mean to violate the laws in the republic, even people related to the traitor would suffer for it.
