Episode 7 Danger is approaching
The white man felt dirty.
Although there were only two knights, he was the general manager of the party. It was even ordered by the duke himself.
By the way.
‘On the subject of a child who was a lowly serf. I’m bothering people.’
It was none other than Ian.
Even though he is a prince, there are some things I don’t like about Ion wearing a serf’s robe.
What he entrusted to him, however best described, was a chore.
But it wasn’t enough for him to take on such a chore.
“yes? You want me to buy you new clothes?”
“Yes. As you can see, it’s all torn apart.”
The centurion receiving the clothes Nathan handed him couldn’t have been better.
And when he asked if he could just keep the servant, Nathan sighed.Isn’t it a laugh
“When choosing the prince’s clothes, we can’t just use the eyes of the soldiers. I must have made a mistake with the prince’s clothes.”
“Yes? mistake?”
“Yes. Maybe a centurion-like person had such a rustic look and didn’t prepare clothes?”
“··········!”
“If you’re a caucasian, can you choose a dress that will make the prince stand out? You must have great eyesight.”
At Nathan’s smirk, the centurion grinded his teeth.
It must have been that this guy was harassing himself on purpose.
‘I noticed that I had the bag.’
And it was a threat.
When you say something nice, choose well-fitting clothes.
‘I just did the transportation as the children asked.’
I thought it would be fun though.
Anyway, thanks to that, I’m going to die of fever.
“Wow. What is this?”
“ah. This is the herb we use. It is effective for bruises and swords.”
“uh? Are these herbs subtly different in color?”
“uh? yes?! do you see that? Oh my gosh, that’s great. Even veteran Simmani have a hard time distinguishing colors. Anyway, that color is what distinguishes herbs from poisonous herbs…!”
“Then the purple one is poisonous?”
“no! It looks like it, but it’s actually a medicinal herb! Rather, the one with this bright red color is poisonous. If you eat it, you will vomit blood and collapse.”
“Five. What is the name of this herb?”
“It’s called Laurelin’s Tears. Prince.”
As if from a lowly origin, he was playing with lowly mercenaries without hesitation.
It was natural for the white man’s face to wrinkle.
‘You’re doing the worst! really.’
No matter how much Nathan gave the prince an immediate admonition, he was just sleeping with his hat on.
Eventually, the centurion couldn’t stand it any longer and walked over to him.
“Sir Nathan. It seems like the break is too long. I think we will have to hurry up a bit more to stop by and go to Yonte Castle.”
“Yonte? Why are you there?”
“You told me to pick the clothes that fit the prince…! There are good things to go there.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, the white man can go alone. We’ll be sleeping, so let’s go.”
“Sir Nathan!”
At the look of the white chief, Nathan pouted his mouth.
‘You must have been hungry for some time.’
In fact, Nathan was also thinking a little about it.
Because he didn’t like the close blood and blood of the royal family with the lowly ones like the mercenaries.
So he gently nodded his head.
“The mercenaries do it on their own.”
“thank you. Sir Nathan.”
“You buy clothes by yourself.”
The centurion groaned and looked at Nathan.
But I headed to the place where the reference mercenaries were. Even if he went to the castle by himself, he did not intend to treat the mercenaries comfortably.
The savvy Galon is the problem, but Nathan will take care of that.
“Break over! Moving right now! Everyone, hurry up!”
“yes? now? Haven’t you eaten yet?”
“It’s an order!”
The mercenaries as well as the soldiers looked embarrassed.
However, the person in charge of the schedule is the white man. Even knights have to respect his rights.
They had no choice but to stand up from their seats with a look of helplessness.
*
‘Ugh. Do you see this?’
Ian was making an absurd expression on his face.
It was natural.
“Everyone, hurry up! A little more to go! We must hurry to the peacock castle!”
It was because of what the white man was doing.
It was strange since the break time was forcibly terminated before.
‘Are you determined to get rid of the break time?’
Instead of resting, he was running fiercely.
He and his knights ride horses, but others are forced to walk on two legs.is the situation.
Even if the soldiers were simply armed, the mercenaries carrying their luggage and armor had to be exhausted.
“Uhhh…”
“How long are you running? Let’s get some rest!”
“Leader! will you stay still? Say something to that kid.”
The mercenary commander, unable to bear it any longer, asked the centurion.
“Chief White. How about taking a little break? Everyone is on the verge of collapse.”
“Don’t you know I don’t have time right now? The schedule is delayed.”
“But the white man…”
“Well then, will you guys compensate for the increased schedule? Then let me rest!”
“That… that…”
The mercenary commander couldn’t ask any more.
This mission was also guaranteed a fairly large sum for them. But what about compensating for the increased schedule?
If he made a mistake, he did not know that the mercenary corps would go bankrupt.
“Ugh. All right.”
The mercenary commander clenched his teeth and had no choice but to turn around. All he could do was to take off the helmet he was wearing and throw it on the floor, whether angry or angry.
But that was the moment.
‘what? Who is that?’
It was then that Ion saw the face of the mercenary commander properly for the first time.
But his face was familiar.
‘What if I cover it up like this…?’
Ion stretched out his finger and gently covered the mercenary leader’s face.
He looked exactly as he covered one of his eyes.
“That’s right! Single-eyed Gerard!”
“What are you doing? Prince?”
When Galon came closer to my startled voice, Ion waved his hand saying it was nothing.
He missed the moment.
‘It must have been a big deal. It came out of my mouth without me knowing.’
But that wasn’t the point.
The true identity of the mercenary commander.
‘You’re the single-eyed Gerard who used to be the mercenary king!’
it was undoubtedly One of the legendary mercenaries who would later consolidate the mercenary world and be promoted to the mercenary king was in front of him.
‘Are you sure your nickname was Gerard the Single Eye?’
The mercenary king had only one eye. So he was called the single-eyed Gerard. But now his eyes are fine.
‘Have you lost your eyes yet?’
He was also famous for making wild facial expressions.
But for those who knew the mercenary king, he was so different now that he was surprised. You had such a friendly personality.
‘Come to think of it, Gerrard says his personality has completely changed since he lost his eyes. After that, he began to stand out as a mercenary.’
He was known until then as leading a trivial mercenary corps. But I’m sure he’s the one in charge of his escort.
He thought that the duke’s ability to recognize talent was quite impressive.
‘Then maybe there’s that person too?’
The left arm of the single-eyed Gerard, who was called a genius soldier.
In addition to all kinds of strategic tactics, there will be a strategist who is rated as the best in war mercenary art.
And Ian was found right away.
“hey! line! Doesn’t it move red and red? You will die of hunger!”
“Sin… I’m sorry! senior! I am going now.”
A young blonde with a weak impression, sweating profusely, doing chores. It certainly coincided with what he had in his memory.
Line, who was called ‘The Devil’s Strategist’, said that when he was young, he was working under the mercenary king. Until later his talents are revealed.’
He had never been taught a strategy. However, he is said to have mastered the art of forbearance and strategic tactics due to his genius talent.
The two men were the ones who would later establish a country of mercenaries with great mercenary skills.
How can such people be in such a secluded place?
‘What if I could make them mine?’
Gallon, who was the Duke’s foremost knight.
The knight who brought defeat to the Duke for the first time, Nathan.
Because that’s not enough,From the mercenary king Gerard, who founded the kingdom as a single mercenary, to the legendary strategist Line who made him the mercenary king.
Just imagining it was thrilling. If it is their strength, it will definitely be a great strength to deal with the duke.
‘Before that, let’s deal with that white man first.’
Ian laughed.
*
“Stop Power! Let’s take a break here!”
The carriage stopped with a soldier’s cry.
And when Ion’s carriage stopped, the struggling mercenaries liked it, and the soldiers readily dispersed.
Of course, the white man was outraged.
“Prince!”
The centurion came to Ian, wondering if he could bear it any longer.
“no. From before until now, how many times do you think you took a break? If you hadn’t told me to rest earlier, you would have already arrived at the castle!”
Ion smiled without even sticking his head out of the carriage.
In fact, he had been going a little and then resting, and then going a little and then resting, and so on.
The reasons were varied.
“I need to urinate. Getting dizzy in a carriage What again this time!”
At his shout, Ian revealed his face through the window of the wagon.
The white chief ejaculated to Ion if he wanted to do it this time.
“please. just go Yeah? This means that we might have to stay home.”
It was natural for the white man to cry.
‘It’s annoying that lowly mercenaries like to take a break. Why do you keep getting in the way?’
But whether you know that feeling or not.
“My butt hurts. Let’s rest for a while.”
“this person!”
At Ion’s bright expression, the white man looked like he was about to fall with a vase.
That said, I can’t say that Ian, a royal, has a sore ass. As the centurion’s position, the prince, Ion, said so, he couldn’t resist.
It seems that Nathan can’t help it either. shrugged his shoulders.
“This is a solemn command from the noble prince. what to do You must follow.”
As the centurion shook and trembled, the mercenaries burst into laughter among themselves.
“It’s refreshing to see the white chief who used to scold us for having a knight doesn’t say anything.”
“you’re right. Even if you complain that it’s hard, your friends say it’s okay, so let’s move on. On the other hand, that prince is quite human.”

Mercenaries were not treated well anywhere in the first place.
Even more so when two knights are together like now.
Originally, the nobility was treated like this, but the centurion was even more rude to the fact that there were knights.
However, it was different when Ion moved directly.
“Isn’t it hard?”
“Do you need anything?”
Ion often got off his wagon and picked up his mercenaries.
In addition to handing out water for himself to drink, he also distributed snacks that he distributed only to soldiers to the mercenaries.
And no matter how serfs you come from, royalty is royalty.
Ian comes out and moves himself, but does anyone dare tell him to go in without disturbing him?
Thanks to this, White Zhang is only on the inside, and his mercenaries naturally rest.
Thanks to this, the mercenaries liked Ion very much.
“I wish I could keep moving like this!”
“you’re right! How many times have you been treated like this? Because I want to get closer with that prince.”
The mercenary commander Gerard agreed with them.
He seemed to like Ian quite a bit.
“Everyone, thank the prince for his grace.”
“Haha, when this mission is over, I’m going to retire. I have to go home and confess to Jaina and give birth to a son who resembles that prince.”
“If a child who resembles you resembles a prince, then bastard. that···”
That was when the mercenaries were talking.
Nathan looked at Ion as if he did not understand.
“Prince, I don’t know why you are doing this.”
“Didn’t you say that your butt hurts?”
“her. What kind of candy is the prince’s ass made of?”
yesEason looked at Ian suspiciously.
“Are you taking too much rest for the mercenaries? At this point, you are ignoring the stamina of the mercenaries too much.”
“Haha, it must be because he’s a little kid. Let us understand.”
The soldiers giggled secretly among themselves.
Galon and Nathan thought so too.
In fact, Ion was looking at the mercenaries with a serious expression in the carriage.
‘It’s important to win their hearts, but…’
Ian’s eyes looking at the moon in the sky became serious.
‘Second night out of town.’
It was certain.
‘It happens tonight.’
and on this day. All mercenaries die. Except for just two. Of course, the future could have changed as much as the past had changed.
But at that very moment, Ion, who felt the familiar scent of fruit in the forest, exclaimed.
“All the swordsmen! Watch your surroundings!”
Everyone was startled by Ian’s shout and stood up.
Both the mercenaries and the soldiers roared.
“Prince?”
“What, why all of a sudden…”
Nathan tilted his head for a moment.
But it was then.
Nathan was startled by something, his eyes changed, and Ian shouted again.
“You idiots! Raise your shield now!”
Even if other people didn’t know, I couldn’t belittle Ian when he said this.
It was time for the surprised mercenaries to raise their shields.
hook!
suddenly the lights go out
Push Shun!
The moment when rain of arrows falls from the sky.
Ian’s eyes were twinkling.
