I felt a more detailed stance as I stretched my senses by rapidly raising my magical strength. There were only 10, 11, to be exact. But it was a little weird. Eleven of them were definitely on their way to where we were. But it was too clumsy, not to be thought of as vagrants. There are also few, but I don't feel more alive than anything else. Does it feel like you're trying to find someone?

'I wonder...'

“Su-hyun, 50 meters to the front. ”

“I know. ”

The voice of classicism calling me. There's no way she won't feel what I know. As I nodded and calmly breathed, the words of Yeon-ryong continued.

“I smell a little blood. It's definitely from Mule. Ready for battle? ”

“I don't think they're vagrants.... But just in case, let's be prepared. ”

At first, the clan members look suspicious, but then a dark shadow touches their face to make sure they understand. Soon after, from the beginning of playing in his hands, Gimhanbyol, Ansol, and the old man also took out their staffs and looked forward. As I gradually felt the tension rising, I activated my senses.

Bashrack!

A slight wobble occurred in the dense bush with the sound of treading through the grass. And the shaking was getting worse. The pilgrimage was already at hand.

Could that have been 10 seconds ago? As the staff of the clan members slowly faces forward, a small fissure emerges as the tangled bush splits to the left and to the right. At the same time, a small head pops out of the hole.

“... Knng. Tea.”

“ ……. ”

And then came the momentary silence. The face revealed among the bushes was the appearance of a girl who still looked very young. Now it may be a new high school student, or maybe a middle school student. He was cute with a chubby cheeks and a round neck.

The girl tilts her head to see if she saw the staff aiming at her. But he blinked once or twice and soon began to take a good look at us with clear eyes. It was like he didn't even care about the wand.

While the clan members look at each other indifferently, her eyes meet mine. At that moment, her face, turning clockwise, stopped and began to stare at me.

I decided to open my mouth first.

“Who are you? ”

“ ……. ”

I asked in a low voice, but the answer never came back. The eleven popularity stopped right behind the girl.

When I looked at him without saying anything, I felt a little frustrated in my mind. At that moment, the girl's lips fell off.

“Huyu.”

The child sighs for a short time and turns his head to the back. Suddenly, I heard a voice that sounded like it was speaking to someone.

“Found it.”

A typical northeastern city of Princica.

After Kim Soo-hyun visited the Hamill Clan. It was the fifth day since I left Principal after sharing the seashore with my brother. During that five-day period, the North continent was boiling like a honeycomb.

On the day Kim Soo-hyun left Principal, the vagrants raided Mule in the dark. Eventually, the Warp Gate was damaged and all cities were cut off as a result.

At first, users did not find it very strange. Nowadays, traffic is often cut off, so I don't think the wanderers have raided them, just complaining.

But after a day or two later, strange users started to come out. And it was at the time when the growing complaints began to turn into chaos that Mule was cut off not only in the central and western areas, but even in the northern two cities.

It wasn't just the walkway. I didn't get the call myself. Honestly, even though there was no way in other cities, there could have been at least one user who contacted them. Several suspicious users have attempted to communicate with acquaintances using crystal spheres, but have repeatedly failed due to powerful magical interference.

Then the users began to panic. The doubts that had been turned away until then were suddenly lifted up their heads.

But that wasn't the end of it. Two more days later, it was cut off from Dorothy (a town to the north-west) and Beth (a town to the south-west). It was also done almost simultaneously, as if it were a promise.

When Dorothy and Beth, who were preparing for late, noticed that there was a call for salvation, the rumors of an attack that had been spreading from one side to the other, only turned out to be true.

Suddenly, an unprecedented raid has left every city in chaos.

It was no exception to Principal, who was far away from the conflict.

“Huff! Huff! ”

A man gallops through the hallway. The male identity was Lee Junsung, one of the users who was with him when Kim Soo-hyun visited before. Whether something was so urgent about radishes, the usual cold face seemed to be in a hurry.

Soon, when Lee Joon-seong reached the fourth floor, Seo Ga-hee was coming out after holding a visit. He shouted aloud at her.

“Huff, the door! Ugh, open up! ”

“Joon-sung? Yoohyun's brother...! ”

“Listen, once again, bring her in! ”

Lee Junsung hung up on me for a short time. And, "Come!” When I said it, I had already rushed to the door. He shouts at the horse that has not yet been tied, and rushes through the door.

Boom, boom!

“Yes! Huff! Ugh!”

“Oh, my God! You scared me, you idiot! ”

In the room, a woman stood up leaning against the bed. And the moment she came in, the woman frowned and screamed. Unlike the cold and coexisting appearance of ripeness, the woman's voice was sharp and sharp like a child's.

“Hak! Hak! Hyo, Hyo, nuna, nuna! Hak! Hak! Khh, this is bad...! Ah, no, I'm finally getting up...! Hak! Hak! ”

“School, school? Gee, I feel bad! Breathe, you idiot! ”

Lee Hyo snapped it sharply and threw the water bottle around. Lee Junsung grabbed it lightly and swallowed. She kicks her tongue with her disdainful face and shakes her head.

“Damn. You're the one who saw me as soon as I woke up..." It sucks. "

“Phew…. Sister. I mean... Well, what should I say first... Congratulations on getting up... ”

At Lee Junsung's words, Lee Hyo Eul waved his hands, smirking.

“Forget it, you said it was bad. Don't stutter. Tell me the truth. ”

Lee Junsung swallowed a saliva once, then took a calm breath and gazed at Lee Hyo. On the bed, she crosses her legs and gazes at him with an arrogant face.

“Northern Continent Cities are under attack. Vagabonds have teamed up with Westcontinents! ”

“Shit.”

“Sister! I'm not lying! ”

“Oh, I get it. Shut up. ”

Lee Junsung stared at Lee Hyo with a surprised face. This was obviously important news, but she didn't flinch. Given that most people don't believe this news for the first time, the reaction to the benefits was clearly unexpected.

“Whew. Lawrence, did this girl fail in the end...? So, they're being ambushed somewhere. ”

“Mule, Dorothy, Beth. We hit Mule first, Dorothy and Beth hit him at the same time. ”

“Mullah... ”

Yi Hyo scratched his head with the face of trouble and made a bitter smile. Soon after, she reaffirmed her appetite and reached out her palm to Lee Junsung. He looked at Lee Hyo's white, radiant palm and made a curious face, then opened his mouth trembling.

“Sister. As soon as I get up... You're not feeling well either... ”

“ ……. ”

“Oh, I see. I'll give you one.”

Looking at Lee Hyo-seong sharply, Lee Joon-seong searched for a cold product and supported it at the beginning of the year. And as soon as she got to the start of the year, she was able to bring out the spirit of service that lit the fire right away. Lee Hyo said, taking a deep sip with a satisfactory face, and exhaling a long smoke.

“Whew. I think I'm gonna live. So, that's a big deal? ”

“Yes? But... Actually, that's not the problem. You just got up so well. ”

“? ”

Lee Hyo-seong shook her head as if to say it, and Lee Joon-seong vomited a blasphemous contempt.

“Oh now, Clan Lord is in a frenzy about going to Mule! ”

I coughed a lot while I was sucking hard at the beginning of the year.

“Cough, cough! What, what? ”

“This is not a joke. Mule has a brother...! ”

“Wait, brother? Yoohyun Kim? What nonsense is that?! ”

“It's not nonsense. Lee Hyo Ri.”

It was then. Behind Lee Junsung's back, a cool voice thundered down the inside of the room.

Tak, Tak!

In the center of the camp, a campfire burns. I sat on a dry leaf and stared at the campfire. As I quietly watch the fireworks frying the table dung, I hear someone coming from behind me.

“Mercenary Road. You must be tired. Would you stop taking shifts? ”

Suddenly, I slowly turned my head to the sound of my voice. A gentle man was smiling at me. His name was Seung Woo Jo, one of the users who joined us a few days ago.

I quietly shaken my head and replied.

“That's okay, there's still time for your shift. ”

“Haha. I just couldn't sleep today. ”

Cho Seung Woo sat next to me with a bold smile. I stepped aside a little.

A moment of silence passed. Only the fire that popped out of the campfire scattered into the air with an occasional burst of sound. How long has it been? Cho Seung Woo wants to look at the campfire for a while, but then he opens his mouth quietly.

“We really appreciate your help. ”

“No, I don't think I've been very helpful. We're just moving together... ”

“No, I'm not just talking about joining. We are grateful for your help in the square, for your archery, and for welcoming us with wounded people. ”

“Haha. One more hearing and I'll have a scratch on my ear. It's all right, you can stop talking now. ”

“As expected, Mercenary Road is humble. I really admire you."

'I can see that.'

I sighed for a long time because I interpreted something well.

Cho Seung Woo was one of the dozens of users who followed me from the square. He was one of the eleven who luckily avoided the vagrants.

I can't say Cho Seung Woo's words were very wrong just now, but I was laughing myself to death.

In the city, it was always about me and the clans, not about the others. In fact, I went through the suburbs and only took care of my clan members, but no one else cared. However, Seung Woo followed behind me and brought all the users I had just passed by. It was Cho Seung-woo who deserved such a commendation.

It was not in good faith to accept the wounded. I heard there were injured, but I didn't hurt my leg. We've done some healing, and we don't have a big problem with march speed as there are three wizards anyway. It was also possible to use them as a shield for clan members in the event of any incompetence.

That is, in the current situation, it was beneficial to move together in a way that looked like this. That's why they let me join them.

Of course, more food and drinking water can be a problem. But now that we were walking along the river, we were able to procure our own food and water. If I didn't feel right, I could have killed a forest beast that could be eaten for food.

However, there were two things to be careful about at this time. Monsters and chasers. They encounter monsters several times as they pass through the forest. However, there were no major difficulties in handling it.

Then there was only one thing left, but the pursuit had a slightly more subtle side.

Personally, I find it unlikely that a vagrant would have set up a chase. They have their own characteristics, but they cannot send a pursuit unit after a user who has already escaped without a crazy commander.

Do not be careless. I was preparing myself for the pursuit. We were erasing the way we were going, at a minimum, by playing a high note and putting up a thorough mattress.

It's good for everyone not to come, to be honest. But I didn't even want a few dozen people to come. The reason we invaded Mule first was because we couldn't help but wonder, if the pursuers were coming, we could capture a few and gather information.

“What makes you think that? ”

While I was thinking for a long time, I heard Seung Woo's voice. He was staring at me with a clasp on his knee.

“I was just thinking about things. ”

“Haha. I thought you were sleeping because you closed your eyes. It's time for your shift, so go back to sleep. ”

With Seung Woo's suggestion, I calmly shook my head.

“Very well. Take good care of it, then. If no one wakes up like you did yesterday and you stand alone, you will be left alone for the next two days. ”

“Oh dear. I must spend the night for the next two nights. ”

“I'll take back what I just said. ”

“Haha. I'm kidding. ”

After talking with Seung Woo, I put my hands on the ground. However, I thought of turning it around at least once before I left. You still feel the thin leaves on your right hand, but you feel the soft soil on your left hand. I gradually got up, magically raising myself. No, it was a moment to wake him up.

It was then.

“Hm? Aren't you going in? ”

“ ……. ”

“Mercenary Road? ”

I feel a slight wavelength in the magical power of the hand that is touching the ground. If I didn't put my hands deep into the dirt floor, I wouldn't have noticed it.

And it was shaking, little by little, little by little.
