Chapter 419
Chapter 419
Perhaps because of the achievement of breaking through the outer castle, I did not rejoin the unit and run.
Should it be said that the combat power has been measured, it seems that they decided to regard the individual who achieved both breakthrough and air supremacy at the same time as an army instead of operating them like a single soldier. It was a reaction close to the feeling of asking me to do another job after taking enough rest since I have established my major.
Fighting demons of a similar level didn’t mean much to me anyway, and I wanted to prepare for a battle with the main army that was eagerly coming here, so I accepted the favor and decided to take a break.
As a result, I am now enjoying the comfort of lying on a camp bed that does not look like a camp bed in a tent that could be used by a general.
“Why does it seem like the quality of sleep goes up when you’re only involved in the military?”
While I came this far, I did not want to give the perception that I was receiving special treatment, so I lived in the tent I brought with me, but I couldn’t refuse because I was told that if I didn’t receive a reward even after making a feat, I wouldn’t be an example to the soldiers.
Even though it was a battlefield, it was good to luxuriously wash and lay down to rest, but since I was not as tired as I thought, I ended up getting up quietly, putting on my equipment again, and coming out.
It was still noisy outside. Since it is very close to the half-destroyed outer wall, the noise of the battlefield coming from far away can be heard better than expected, and even though it is a command post that is far from the battlefield, they all run around vigorously without relaxing their tension.
Thanks to this, it was not difficult to understand that this was the daily life of silver eagles who had endured for years on the front line against the demon king’s army. The soldiers on the side of Ragnis seem to stand out more because they feel relatively bewildered and exhausted.
“Oh, you’ve made a lot of progress, but where are you going without resting?”
Before going to Ragnis, I thought that no one would pretend to know me, but Ranze, who appeared out of nowhere, broke my expectations.
“It’s a battlefield, so I’m trying to move a little because I’m not very relieved. Sir Lange seems to be taking a break.”
In front of her, familiar faces she had seen before by the siege tower were passing by, but unlike the surroundings, all of them walking around fully armed, it was very conspicuous that they had thrown off their armor, which seemed heavy just by looking at it, and were wearing only their clothes.
“That’s right. It’s one of the few privileges of a battering ram unit.”
“If you risk your life and come back alive, you’ll rest. Can I call that a privilege?”
After hearing her shrug her shoulders as if it was not a big deal, another knight tackled her from behind as if she was dumbfounded.
“Anyway, there’s nothing you can do except take a walk around the campsite. Would you like to have a meal together? You must be hungry after running around like that.”
Then, naturally, he suggested a meal. It was an invitation that had never been offered while marching this far.
The meaning of her proposal could be significant, so I noticed the other articles, but the others also stopped walking and just looked at it, but there didn’t seem to be any opposition.
“I showed that kind of side, but all the people who would say something about having a meal together died right away. Let’s go. I know it sounds funny, but my kids’ cooking skills are pretty good.”
“…Then don’t hesitate.”
In the first place, he was the one who slapped the regimental commander on the cheek under the pretext of being in another unit, but the knights, including Ranze, seemed to really not care. Continuing to be embarrassed by myself was also something to blur the atmosphere, so I headed to the kitchen located on one side of the command post, keeping pace with Ranje as confidently as possible.
Yes. community kitchen. Surprisingly, unlike other general armies, the Silver Eagle Brigade had a structure in which the rear unit made meals for the combat troops, rather than sprinkled food on the soldiers and ate it on their own.
That doesn’t mean they hire non-combatants like professional chefs to move, but it was more like soldiers with relatively poor combat power building camps and working together, but considering that cooking sickness was only created in modern times in the previous life, it’s a really ridiculously unique environment. sure
“Because there are so few troops that can properly fight the demon king’s army, starting from the formation, a lot of things have changed. It’s unusual, isn’t it?”
“I don’t think it’s unusual… Are all the armies on the frontline like this?”
“The front line will be like that. We haven’t traveled all the fronts, so I can’t give you a definite answer… but if we don’t do this, we won’t be able to maintain it.”
“Keep?”
“Do you know what those guys who survive long on the frontline have in common?”
It was a fairly out of the blue question, but it was a question that would not have come to mind even if I had given a reprieve, so I pretended to be worried for a while and shook my head saying I didn’t know. Then, as if not expecting an answer, Lange nodded and replied easily.
“The point is that he doesn’t take care of himself. It’s a situation where he’s physically and mentally pushed to the limit, so he can live by pushing something in, but he can’t do that. There are many symptoms such as sleeplessness, anxiety, etc. A lot of problems arose on the side of eating. I know that’s why it was changed. Even when we distributed food ingredients, there were many people who lied about what they ate, so we made them and picked them up and ate them. Aligned with others, regularly.”
Is it some kind of PTSD? I wondered why such a phenomenon occurred in eating rice, but I didn’t think I knew the specific reason, so I just nodded my head. Then, as if I had shut my mouth after hearing the heavy story, the other knight next to me laughed awkwardly and joined the conversation.
“What are you talking about so seriously that the hero of the day is draining his energy? I always said that. That’s because he doesn’t have the strength to lift a spoon, so he’s going crazy.”
“I actually did. I didn’t want to come back alive from a situation where I was about to die, and then I didn’t want to light the fire myself and relax again for a meal like pig feed.”
“Those puppies are a bit strange, but in fact, it may not be very wrong. In fact, there are no other puppies who do not eat when they are fed like that.”
Naturally, the atmosphere was relaxed as each person helped one by one, and in the meantime, the neatly prepared stew came out and took a bite.
I also tend to think that when people are having a hard time and are tired, they should eat at least some delicious food to cheer up, but I think this will give me enough energy for a few days.
“It’s delicious. You can feel the chefs putting a lot of effort into it.”
“Oh? To be honest, I thought it wouldn’t suit the taste of a noble person who just left the capital. You’re a person overflowing with the qualities to become a soldier on the battlefield, right?”
The solemnity of the knight was not felt from those who easily joked like adventurers or mercenaries just by talking for a short time. Personally, I liked it very much, but there was something caught in his words, so I had no choice but to laugh and ask.
“Are you precious?”
“Isn’t that right? There are rumors about just being in the capital for a short time. You went into the Ogatorf family from a young age and received education for gifted children. What, they said that they moved as an aide to the Marquis of Levien.”
And the bread burst. The results are distorted even though there is not much wrong information.
“no way…?”
“Yes. I am a commoner.”
that I am a noble The adventurers who have been beaten by me so far will laugh.
Contrary to what I thought would end with just being surprised, the reaction was a bit explosive.
“Are you serious?”
“Really. I was born and raised in a small town near Ogwen in the west. My parents were ex-adventurers, but they were hunters back then, so I guess I’m a hunter’s son.”
Was it shocking enough to put on an expression as if cognitive dissonance came after everyone had eaten? One of them tilted his head and asked as if he didn’t understand at all.
“Isn’t there a village near Ogwen?”
For a moment, my expression almost rotted a little without my knowledge.
In fact, since our village was not marked on any map, I think there must have been many people who didn’t know about it even when it was fine. I think that person said it with that intention as well, but hearing it like this didn’t make me feel so good.
“There was. It was such a small town that only those in the know knew about it.”
“Ah, I see. But that there was…?”
“The Demon King’s army destroyed all of them and they are gone. That’s why I’m here.”
Whether it was a secret that few people knew, or whether the Demon King’s army had come to the corner of the west and splattered as a secret, it was none of my business, so when I said it proudly, the air instantly went hard.
The knight who joked that he was a noble person lowered his head and began to look only at my stew bowl, while the others were making serious expressions with faces mixed with all sorts of emotions. In fact, there was no intention of stabbing in this way, so at the moment of embarrassment, Ranze looked around at all of them, nodded lightly, sucked his spoon firmly, and hit the knight who had joked with him on the forehead.
“Did you know that, dude? If Egyeong said something insignificant, I should pass it over naturally and talk about it.
“Ah, no matter how much I say it, that’s a bit…”
“Hey, burns.”
The more you look, the farther away you are from a knight. I also didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere on the battlefield, so I had to laugh and respond in moderation before the atmosphere could be relieved.
However, there were still some people who looked at the outer castle of Levien for no reason as if they were literally looking into the distance as if they were puzzled, and I was watching them wondering when they would turn their heads again, and I could find their eyes straining.
“Isn’t that a flying dragon?”
With that one word, everyone who had been freed until now turned their gaze over the outer castle of Levien as if they had promised. It was no different for me, and thanks to that, we were able to clearly see the two drakes flying from the castle.
But… I think one of those is coming this way?
“Are you coming here?”
Fortunately, it seems that I am not alone in my misunderstanding.
