Reincarnated As The Hero Ring

We rushed to the town gate and hoping that we would make it in time before the battle started. We were using the same way we use to get here. Vicar could use teleport but he knows that he should not waste it like that and try to preserve our last teleport for something more important. 

We just need to enter the alleyways and we will be there in no time but we had bumped into someone that we really shouldn't bump into. In front of us was the man that we tried to avoid, it was Sir Allen. He also noticed Vicar was there and immediately stops us. 

"You! How did you escape from the dungeon." Sir Allen shouted that at a distance toward Vicar.

Vicar didn't answer the question and tried to just walk past him, Tane knew exactly what Vicar been thinking as he just following Vicar to walk past Sir Allen. Sir Allen couldn't stand that he was being ignored and order the guard next to Vicar, which was Tane to stop Vicar. 

Tane didn't do what Sir Allen asked him to do and it makes him furious of course. He really didn't like to be ignored like that, he then approaches Vicar himself and grabs his hand. 

"I'm a noble! When I said to stop... just stop! And you, I did tell you to stop him... Are you deaf?" Sir Allen said that as we could tell that he was really angry about it. 

"I'm not deaf, it's just that I wouldn't stop someone unless they had done something wrong," Tane said to Sir Allen. 

"Nothing wrong? This guy escaped from my dungeon... this guy is a." Sir Allen stops as he notices something was weird with Vicar. "Why are you wearing a guard armor?" He asks as he finds it a little weird.

Vicar didn't answer it, instead, Tane was the one that provides Sir Allen the answer to his question. "Oh! You didn't know... This man is a town guardsman and the one that keeps you safe from the undead." Tane said it to Sir Allen. 

"This criminal is a town guard? I don't believe it... he was not. I'm sure he killed or snatch the armor from a dead guard. There must be plenty of dead guards in the town right now." He said that without much feeling sorry for the guards that had died to protect this town.

"Why do I feel like you didn't even care about the guards that had died..." Tane said as he feels the same as what I feel about what Sir Allen had said earlier. 

"Should I feel sorry for them? No... It's their job to die and keep the people safe." Sir Allen said that. 

When Tane and I listen to what Sir Allen just said just now, we were pretty angry at him. I could see that Tane wanted to punch him but he couldn't do it as he knows that this man was a noble. For me, of course, I would punch him right now, it's just I don't have the physical body to do so. 

Were all of the noble were just like him, arrogant and selfish. I really thought he was a nice guy but after seeing his true self, I think that he was just a villain. But again, I should not assume that everyone was the same as him as Lord Framer seems to be a good man. 

I know that I had just met him for a few minutes but I somehow could tell whether he was bad or not. But I'm certain that he was not a bad guy, I could see that he really care about the town safety and about the people in it. There's no way that kind of a person would be a bad guy. 

Vicar was just listening to all of the conversations, he then does something that we didn't expect from him as he was just standing there while Tane and Sir Allen having a conversation. I guess he must be triggered with what Sir Allen had just said. 

As Vicar punch Sir Allen right in his face, it was quite a strong punch as Sir Allen fall to the ground. He then said some words to Sir Allen. "Those guards die because of you! Because of your dead wife Eli..." Vicar blurted that came out, he immediately stopped as he realized what he had just said. 

When Sir Allen heard that name, he was kinda confused as to why Vicar could know it. "What! You said my dead wife cause it, there's no way that she could..." Sir Allen suddenly stop as he realized something. "Wait! Do you escape using the secret tunnel?" He said that as he was surprised. 

"So you do know about the secret tunnel then," Vicar said that and asking whether Sir Allen know about it or not. But I'm sure that he knows about it.

"Of course I do! I'm the one that builds it... I didn't think that the cell that I put you into was near the secret tunnel entrance." Sir Allen said that towards Vicar. 

"So you do admit, I shouldn't ask you that as I already know that by reading your journal," Vicar said as he was referring to the journal that we had found in that place. 

"That's means you already know half of it then..." Sir Allen said that. 

"Since we at this... I'm gonna ask you, why did you stop to revive Eli." Vicar asks as this was one of the things we were planning to do after leaving the dungeon cell. 

"Why should I tell you? This had nothing to do with you..." Sir Allen still refused to explain it to us. 

"It somehow does as I was the one that responds to let Eli out and somehow started this whole thing," Vicar said that as he threatened Sir Allen with his fist if he refuses to say it.

Sir Allen didn't want to get punch as he tells us about it, "I will tell it, just promise me that you will not punch me." He said that as he started to explain it to us.

When he was just about to start explaining, Tane cut in as he said something to Vicar. "Vicar? We couldn't listen to it now... we really to go to the town gate and join the battle." 

The moment Tane mention that we realized that we already waste a lot of time here. The battle against the undead might have already begun while we were talking with Sir Allen. Vicar knew that he had to hold off this explanation as he realizes that joining the battle was more important than listening to what Sir Allen had to say. 

"You right Tane, I should waste my time here... Let's go." Vicar said that as both of them enter the alleyways.

Vicar didn't even bother to say anything towards Sir Allen as he just left him there, I know that he couldn't care less about Sir Allen. His mind right now was set towards the battle at the town's gate, Vicar was hoping that the battle didn't begin without him being there. 

We both run on the alleyways, we did run into some undead skeletons there but we easily defeated it. We were quite lucky to not encounter any Elite skeletons along the way. In just a few minutes, we were able to exit the alleyways and enter the trade central area back. 

When we arrive at the trade center, we could hear a loud noise coming from the town gate. It seems that the battle had already begun. Vicar has kinda regretted his decision to talk with Sir Allen as it cost us a few minutes as if we hadn't talked to him, we might have enough time to be there before the battle started. 

But sadly we can't go to the town gate now as six elite skeletons suddenly crawl up from the ground and blocking our way to the town gate. Our current situation had turned worse, fighting six elite skeletons would be hard for only just two of us. 

We didn't really have much choice but to just fight the elite skeletons, we couldn't afford to take another route to the town gate as it will cost us more time. Yet again, we also couldn't leave the elite skeletons here as it could enter other areas of the town. 

"Tane, you know what to do right?" Vicar asks Tane whether he knows what to do.

"Of course, the same thing as before right... Shoot some arrows to distract them while you do the killing." Tane said. 

"I know I can count on you..." With that, Vicar began to charge towards the six elite skeletons. 

As usual, Tane provides support from behind and distracting the elite skeletons with his arrows. I thought that it will be easy as before but I was wrong about it as something bad had happened. We really didn't expect it.
