Chapter 188 - Assignment (4) (1/2)

Auron joined the other soldiers outside the building. He looked to his left and right, didn't know what to do. He also didn't recognize anyone. He walked to the left side of the building and waited there.

Five minutes passed, but there are still no announcements or whatsoever. Auron decided to move to his swordsman character.

However, when he was about to move to his swordsman character, someone called his name, ”Hey, you are Smiling Wizard, right? I thought I recognized the wrong person.”

The newcomer was the commoner archer who was also one of the survivors and the only commoner survivor from his Raiding Month's group. He was not alone. There was someone beside him, a big burly man. The muscle was bulging out like a typical bodybuilder.

”Thank God, I meet you. Finally, I meet with someone who has worked together with me before.”

”Here, let me introduce you to this man. He is Spike. He is one of the guards stationed in my town.” The commoner archer introduced the man beside him.

”He is Smiling Wizard. The one I told you before.” The commoner archer introduced Auron to Spike.

”Hello, I am Spike. I heard your story from this guy here. Nice to meet you. I hope we can work together.” Spike warmly greeted Auron and offered a handshake.

With this introduction, Auron had something to do to kill his time. The three of them began to talk about their experience in the Raiding Month. Auron also asked several things about living in the military.

At first, the conversation flow smoothly. However, as the conversation last longer, the conversation met a wall. It ran out of topics.

An awkward silent took on. Auron tried to break the ice, so he asked, ”Do you know about the other?”

What Auron mean were the nobles who also joined with them in the Raiding Month. The commoner archer answered, ”No, I haven't met them yet.”

Auron confused with the answer, ”It is weird. Are they didn't register yet?”

”Well, who knows what was inside the nobles' mind,” The commoner archer shrugged his shoulders.

Spike knew what they were talking about, so he joined the conversation, ”You don't have to wait for them nor look for them. They will not come.”

”What? Really? Why is that?” The commoner archer looked at this big burly friend of him.

”Look around you! A lot of soldiers gathered here. Even a stupid person knows there must be something going on.”

”As a noble, it will not be that hard to know what is happening right now, or what this operation's risk level. An operation at this scale surely will not be a safe task. The danger level must be above average.”
