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.
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.
