Southern Training Center (1)
Ten days after leaving Dmitry.
Roman arrived at the final point of the Southern Front.
It was a land where the lord did not exist, and it was a place where people who wanted to trade for those heading to the battlefield naturally formed a village.
Before entering the Southern Training Center, I set up an inn for the purpose of relieving female poisoning (旅毒).
"Today, I will take a day off here, and tomorrow I will go to the Southern Training Center as soon as the sun comes up."
Yes!
Everyone was bright.
In fact, they did not expect good accommodation.
Usually, nobles give out shabby lodgings to their soldiers and spend most of their lives comfortably, but Roman rented a large and neat inn in order to give them a sure rest.
A situation in which loyalty is inevitable.
The soldiers moving inside were excited and moved quickly.
in between.
Roman went in first and unpacked.
Then, sitting in a chair, I read the letter I had received a month ago again.
[I heard that you are going to perform your military duty. If you say that you will be mine, I will solve the problem right away, but I will not stop you because I know your will to devote yourself to the country of Hansako. But I can't let anyone who might be mine get hurt in the barren environment ahead. I have used my hand to place you on the Southern Front. Always keep in mind When you think you need someone's help, the Benedict family is right there by your side.]
last few months.
Roman was persistently courted by the Marquis Benedict.
As the head of the aristocratic faction, he hoped to recruit talent to fight the Royal Knights, and Roman's appearance was etched in his heart as if by fate.
The youngest ranker in the Cairo Kingdom. As a Marquis of Benedict, his child was worn out, and despite Roman's rejection, he continued to attack Roman's heart with a barrage of affection.
and currently.
With the connections of the Marquis Benedict, Roman was deployed to the Southern Front.
As he said.
Compared to the Western Front, which directly confronts the Kronos Empire, the Southern Front is a peaceful place with no danger, but according to the information we have learned so far, the truth is different.
McKean of Valhalla Intelligence said it was like a time bomb that could explode on the Southern Front.
At that time, Roman did not know if he would be deployed to the Southern Front, but he ordered Lucas to find out for himself in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
'In the end, you'll know when you hit it yourself.'
If the information is true.
He was not assigned to Hanjik (閑職).
He might have to keep busy in the future, so Roman took a break.
But.
Roman couldn't close his eyes for a long time.
Woodang!
right below.
It was because I could hear the men yelling and fighting.
let's go down
I could confirm that there was a fight in the hall.
bang!
"You bastards like this. do you know who i am I am Henry Albert, the second son of the Albert family! The descendants of the Cairo kingdom's famous family will use this inn, but those who don't know the origins are going to endure it. Isn't it off right now?!
The situation was obvious.
It must have been a one-sided fight.
Still, to confirm the facts, Roman asked as he went down.
"What's going on?"
"Lord!"
Chris was stunned.
He, who had just been on the verge of an explosion, reported what had happened with a slightly heated face.
that ."
The situation was like this.
With Roman's consideration, the soldiers were resting comfortably, but the second son of the Albert family stormed the inn with his troops.
Then, recklessly, he screamed for everyone to get out.
It was probably the largest and cleanest inn in the area, so it seemed that he intended to use it, but there was no reason to leave the room empty for any reason.
Besides.
'It's not a place worthy of being called a famous family for the Albert family.'
It's not a nameless family.
It was a family that at one time had a reputation for producing outstanding talents, but it was a family that was crushed by the surrounding checks while recklessly expanding its power.
People who live in the fantasy of the past.
Still, it was a powerful enough force in the northeast area, but even if the opponent was a famous family, Roman's reaction would not have been different.
"Why do we have to go out?"
walked forward
For a moment, Henry's ferocious gaze turned to Roman.
"Are you the owner of these guys?"
"Yes, but."
"Then, please understand the situation properly. I don't know where you come from, but I, Henry Albert, should use this inn. If you're in the position to go to the Peacha Southern Training Center anyway, you'll know that there's nothing good about blushing with me. Just give me 10 minutes. Get all this garbage out of my eyes."
he was brave
The emblem of the Dmitry family.
It was the first time I ever saw it.
Henry Albert judged that the opponent was worthy, and he behaved as he is now.
'Is this the reality of Dmitry?'
frog in the well.
Dmitry was a strong man recognized only in the northeast region.
Naturally, families in other regions could not recognize Dmitry, and there was no reason to treat an unknown family even if they were the same noble.
Houses deployed to the Southern Front.
Most of them are classified as powerful people in the Cairo Kingdom, so it was a wise way to retreat without any trouble.
However.
For Roman, Henry's eyes looking straight at his face were annoying.
"I have no intention of emptying the inn. There is a very easy way to solve the problem in a situation like this."
attitude has changed.
After letting go of his horse, he drew out his sword as if it were purple.
"Pull out your sword. If you beat me, I will gladly empty the inn."
It was a provocative statement.
Henry's face flushed red.
dare.
Showing hostility is not enough to show condolences.
could not forgive
At that moment when I was about to draw my sword.
The knight next to him's face turned pale, and Henry stopped him.
"Sir, you must stop now! Your opponent is Roman Dmitry! The swordsman who has risen to the youngest rank this time!"
at that word.
Henry's body stiffened.
Moment.
Is this what it feels like to have goosebumps?
Henry's eyebrows trembled as he was about to draw his sword.
' That bastard is Roman Dmitry?'
Cairo's youngest ranker.
No one knew the name.
Since he was a family on the outskirts of Dmitry, it was natural that he could not recognize the pattern, but Roman's reputation for defeating Homer at the age of 25 was great.
The fact that he was still an unofficial ranker didn't matter.
If the Valhalla Shrine recognized Roman's ranking, Roman would not be a man full of rumors.
"Pull out your sword."
yet again.
Roman urged.
Henry swallowed dry saliva at the sight of him waiting to draw his sword with a relaxed expression.
'If you draw a sword, you die.'
Among the rumors of Roman, there was such a thing.
War with Barco.
Roman Dmitry, who put his opponent in a corner, went to Barco and killed the eldest son of the family. The incident at that time remained infamous.
A demon without blood or tears that dries up seeds if it is an enemy.
Along with the rumors of being a ranker, it was also known how terrifying Roman Dmitry was.
so that.
Henry slowly looked away.
My self-esteem was hurt.
As a man of the Albert family, he did not know how to live by bowing since he was young, but he did not intend to show his pride even in a situation where his head might fly off right away.
If your opponent is the main character of the rumor.
No matter what his pride was, avoiding the situation in front of him was the first priority.
There was no arrogant attitude to be found.
Henry took a step back and said in a very low voice.
"Wait, I forgot I had an appointment. I'll take this as an apology and let it end. I think you're lucky. You, who dared to ignore the Albert family... Ahh!
widely.
Let Roman take a step forward.
Henry panicked and ran out of the inn.
There was no other way for the soldiers who had lost their master.
Seeing them also rushing out of the inn, Roman laughed as if it was bland.
'Is this the reality of the Southern Front?'
southern front.
A resort for the children of the nobility.
The reality was unfolding before my eyes.
Henry's case.
It wasn't a one-time occurrence.
that day.
A whopping three similar incidents have occurred, and all of them havetily resigned in the name of Roman Dmitry.
In such a situation, the innkeeper said:
"It is familiar here. Unlike the Western Front, which is threatened by the Kronos Empire, the Southern Front maintains an amicable relationship with the Kingdom of Hector, so there is no danger. So the sons of nobles who could not avoid the duty of national defense try to come to the southern front somehow. Would it be called a vacation spot for the children of the nobility for nothing? The training is generous and there is no risk of life, so it is the perfect place to safely carry out the meaning of national defense."
west and south.
Even in the same warring country, the situation was completely different.
If the troops recruited to the Western Front really risked their lives to go to war, the Southern Front's troops were mostly limp with nothing to do.
As a result, there was a lot of uproar at the final base heading to the Southern Training Center.
Like Henry, everyone lived in their own land without any regrets, so even if there was someone who made a reservation in front of the inn in advance, they acted recklessly if they wanted to.
It was a fun situation.
Even though he hadn't even entered the training camp yet.
The reality of the Southern Front was already visible.
flutter.
Roman opened the map.
It was to record information related to the Southern Front, and each area was subdivided and the information was filled with it.
'48 days ago, the reconnaissance troops of the kingdom of Hector had crossed the border. They checked the dynamics of the Southern Front and returned to their country, but after that, they checked the Southern Front three times. I'm still not sure if they really had any clear intentions of war. However, based on the fragmentary information I have found, the Southern Front is not just a safe land.'
There are signals in war.
Warning from Valhalla Intelligence.
The dynamics of the kingdom of Hector looking at the border.
That doesn't mean it's going to be a war, but it turns out there were enough signals happening.
for that reason.
Meanwhile, Roman trained his soldiers.
If a war does not break out during the two years spent on the southern front, you can pass the time safely, but the worst possibility is that it is necessary to evacuate ahead of time.
Most people who come to the Southern Front are not prepared for war. both mentally and physically.
Unlike the rest of the army, who are not prepared for anything, Roman and his men have had a really hellish time over the past few months.
If war breaks out.
I had no intention of trusting the scum of the Southern Front on vacation.
You will survive on your own and lay the groundwork for your future plans.
"It's war."
at the tip of the nose.
There was a familiar smell of blood.
