A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 60: (2)

“I need 1,000 gold.”

1,000 gold. Just hearing the amount was enough to make one’s jaw drop.

But Kaiyan didn’t say it without thinking. Since Tarien had readily given Mr. Jeff 50 gold, if Jansen was truly a noble, he should be able to give around 1,000 gold. Besides, it’s not like he was asking for it; he was only asking to borrow it for a short time.

-…Hmm, fine. When should I provide it?

“Great.”

Internally rejoicing, Kaiyan opened his mouth without revealing any signs of joy.

“I will receive it in front of the ruined castle at the western border of Louis Plains three days from now.”

-Three days… that’s tight. Understood. Then, is that all for the favor?

“Oh, there’s one more thing. Since I have work for mercenaries and laborers, I will just send the knights.”

It wouldn’t mean anything if he was the only one left alive.

All of this was to save the mercenaries. If he had intended to run away from the beginning, with their abilities, they wouldn’t have been able to capture him.

-That’s a bit… you know why I am doing this.

Jansen’s voice from the communication device sounded slightly dissatisfied.

If even one of them returned alive, everything Jansen had planned would be in vain, so he would be worried.

“Haha! Don’t worry. I was planning to take care of things once the job was done anyway.”

-Is that so? Then, if you handle the aftermath properly… understood.

“Then next time, let’s meet in person.”

-Yes, I will look forward to that day. Then, please switch to Grandel.

“Understood.”

While holding the communication device, Kaiyan looked straight at Grandel, who was right beside him, and he nodded as Grandel received the device.

Now that he had an implicit contract with Grandel, the guy was in a state no different from being his slave.

“Grandel, do well.”

After patting Grandel’s back a few times, Kaiyan stepped out of the carriage.

“Hmm.”

As he looked around after stepping outside, four knights stood with their heads bowed, and behind them, 19 people consisting of mercenaries and laborers trembled, their bodies trembling as they kept their eyes fixed on the ground.

“Just hold on a little longer.”

After waiting for a moment, Grandel, who had been communicating with Jansen inside the carriage, came out.

“Tarien-nim, Jansen-nim asked me to convey his regards and said he’s counting on you.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

“Yes! Then we’ll be going now! If we’re too late, Baron might suspect something.”

“That’s right.”

Grandel and the other knights turned their heads and rode back the way they came, making sure to keep an eye on Kaiyan until he disappeared completely from sight, prepared for any unexpected events.

“They’re gone. He really left. Haha…”

The tension that had been pulled to the extreme was relieved as the knights disappeared from sight.

Honestly, Kaiyan still couldn’t believe it. Pretending to be Tarien was a half-hearted gamble, but it actually worked.

Even Grandel went along with it, let alone Jansen. Of course, the communication through the device played a role as well.

“Phew… What’s with you guys? Everyone, get up.”

As Kaiyan shouted while looking at the people behind, even though the threatening knights had left, the people who had been trembling with their heads on the ground still raised their heads cautiously.

“Yes, yes? W-What do you mean…”

Banson, who was always cheerful, showed such a state.josei

“Banson, why did you suddenly become an idiot?”

“Yes?”

“Sigh… I told you to get up. Everyone.”

“I-I’m fine!”

What could possibly be fine? Kaiyan knew they weren’t fine.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding. I am not a noble.”

“Yes? Ah, if it’s because of the rudeness we showed, please forgive us!”

“Haa… How will I explain this again?”

After forcefully getting Banson and the mercenaries to stand up, Kaiyan explained for about 30 minutes why he pretended to be a noble.

“No! So you’re saying, Kaiyan, you’re not really a noble… right?”

Only after listening to all the explanations did Bisel understand to some extent and shouted in surprise, raising the tone at the end.

“…That’s correct. So, just speak to me comfortably, as usual.”

“Aha, I see… No, wait! Are you insane? Do you know what happens if you impersonate a noble?”

“I know. Very well.”

If someone gets caught impersonating a noble on the Eunasia continent, the problem is not just dying.

Each kingdom has a special organization called the Special Division, and if an impersonator is caught by them, it is said that they will be tortured for the rest of their lives, neither dead nor alive. Not only the impersonator but also their family members.

This is a fact that most commoners living on the Eunasia continent know. That’s why Bisel had such a surprised expression.

“Do you know that, idiot? Ha… What were you trying to do? You did something extremely reckless!”

“That’s right, Bisel is right. Kaiyan, it’s not just you but also your family who will be in danger.”

“Kaiyan! I’m so disappointed in you! Why would you do such a thing? You fool.”

A torrent of scolding poured out through multiple mouths.

If Kaiyan keeps listening, either his ears will break first, or their mouths will break first. It’s clear that it won’t end until one of those things happens.

“Enough! I will handle it myself!”

“Well, still…”

“You all don’t have anything else to do right now, do you?”

“Huh? Ah… Well, yeah… Since the request turned out like this.”

They arrived at the edge of Louis Plains at Jansen’s request, but besides the advance payment, they didn’t receive any money. In other words, they suffered a huge loss.

“Then I will make a request. It’s a 200 gold mission.”

“200… 200 gold?”

The mercenaries, who had been making a lot of noise, fell silent at the enormous amount.

200 gold is such a large sum that even an ordinary commoner family would find it difficult to spend all of it and live a wealthy life.

Currently, excluding Kaiyan, there are 9 mercenaries here. Even if the money is divided, it’s more than 20 gold per person.

Gulp.

The sound of Bisel swallowing saliva spread loudly, but no one blamed him. It’s because even A-rank mercenaries would find it difficult to receive a 20 gold mission per person.

“…What kind of mission is it? And can you really give that much money?”

Banson, the representative of the mercenaries, asked cautiously.

Seeing that Banson didn’t rush in blindly even after hearing that it’s 200 gold, he seems suitable as the representative of the mercenary group.

“Yes, the money is certain. The mission is simple. Just accompany me to the ruined castle at the western edge of Louis Plains.”

“If it’s a ruined castle over there… Could it be Babelin?”

“Yes, please go to Babelin Castle.”

Babelin.

It used to be a fortress that firmly protected the kingdoms from monster waves until 50 years ago when it completely collapsed.

And it’s also the place right next to Kaiyan’s ruined hometown.

Kaiyan can still remember the sight of the village when he closes his eyes.

“It burned down and collapsed. Because of those bastards.”

When Kaiyan thinks of the monsters that invaded the village, an uncontrollable rage wells up inside him.

Crack.

“Now it’s my turn.”

Kaiyan will deliver a death as cruel to those wicked bastards.
