Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 353



Episode 353: Dark Continent (4)

“Lehen! “Here’s the water!”

“Ah thank you.”

While the explorers including myself took a short break by quenching our thirst with water or alcohol members of the royal family walked around the inside of the ship and conducted a personnel inspection.

and….

“After disembarking the ship will be de-summoned immediately so take care of it without leaving any items behind!”

After the inspection was over under military control we transferred to small boats one by one and moved to the water.

At the water’s edge the troops who had already disembarked were standing in orderly rows.

Well compared to modern times where people walk with their left feet in sync it can be said to be a waste of time.

“Luckily it looks like they weren’t waiting here or anything.”

“It seems like they are also taking precautions to completely avoid fighting between the main unit and the main unit.”

“Well if we lose it will be harder to lose with this army.”

Anyway as we waited according to the control it wasn’t long before the leader started marching.

Of course we didn’t follow.

That’s the third-class ship we rode today.

On paper the mission of this ship called the 3-21 Line is to escort the 3rd Magic Corps.

Unfortunately this magic corps belongs to the 3rd Corps and its main mission is to secure the retreat route.

To put it simply once the main force leaves their role in this war is to build a garrison here and protect it.

“now! “Let’s build the barracks first!”

After all the remaining ships of the 3rd Corps disembarked the time to build the position began in earnest.

The explorers set up barracks where they received supplies and the wizards were also busy drawing various magic circles.

How long has it been like that?

Ssssssssssssss-!

Thanks to the magic the deafening sound of the waterfall became much quieter and the fog that obscured my vision cleared away.

“I guess I’ll buy something now.”

“Everyone please eat this and rest! “Barracks assignment and mission announcements will be made soon!”

As the construction of the garrison was roughly completed the barracks where we would stay were allocated.

It was a six-person barracks located on the eastern side around the lake.

Even though we came under military control the three of us were not separated due to the custom of grouping together team members…

“Haha let’s exchange greetings. “We will be working in the same group from now on.”

Three characters that I have never seen before have been added.

It is said that not only do they share the barracks but they also have to move into the same group when standing guard or going on patrol in the future…

‘It’s like this because there are three of us.’

Whether it’s a clan or a team 5 people… no after the binding magic was updated 6 people is the minimum unit.

However since our numbers did not match in three automatic matching was performed.

‘Looking at it it doesn’t seem to be completely automatic.’

I saw a man naturally leading the conversation with a friendly smile on his face.

Although he wears a stylish uniform and even has a sword at his waist he is a wizard. The emblem of the Magic Corps on the chest proves this.

“Oh by the way you haven’t said hello to me yet. “My name is Alex Halo Deputy Chief of the 3rd Magic Army.”

“Deputy Chief?”

I muttered softly and Amelia whispered in her ear.

“It means assistant to the vice-captain.”

Oh so he’s Raven’s right-hand man?

It should be obvious why he sent his right hand here.

We…or more accurately Erwen’s control and surveillance.

“The six people assigned to the barracks above will belong to Group 3-17 and perform various missions and I will help you as the leader—”

“promotion? “Who wants it?”

As Erwen asked again without hiding his displeasure a crack appeared in the man’s smile.

“Haha… I understand that there may be dissatisfaction with that part. Still it’s an order from superiors—”

“He’s smiling and pretending to be relaxed but he’s quite nervous.”

“…yes?”

“Why am I reluctant?”

Her man flinched for a moment at that question and then she smiled and shook her head.

“…Is that possible? On the contrary wouldn’t you know it if they thought it was reassuring?”

Anyone could see that it was a polite thing to say.

If you really thought that way there would be no reason to avoid Erwen’s staring gaze.

“Now stop it.”

I quickly intervened because I knew that the man was just following orders anyway.

“But the three of us are enough….”

“Isn’t it good to have a lot of people?”

“Still you’re the leader…”

“A person in the military could be instigating this so why are you so disgusted with it?”

“…all right. “I’ll stop.”

Erwen looked at me and pursed his lips.

But was that appearance impressive?

Only then did her man turn his gaze to me.

“That one….”

“Lehen Schuitz.”

“Oh yes… I know. nice to meet you “The person next to you is Emily Raines right?”

“okay.”

The man who came up to me and said hello also introduced the other two who were watching the situation from a distance.

“These people here were on a third-class ship that sank on the way. Fortunately the rescue was successful but unfortunately we were not able to save her other colleagues.”

For some reason it doesn’t seem like two people were taken from another team.

There was a reason for that.

As our eyes shifted to the other two people they introduced themselves a little nervously.

“It is an honor to meet you Tongue Hyeolryeonghu. Of course my colleagues next to me as well. “My name is Lykion Elt a level 5 explorer.”

The first impression wasn’t bad.

First of all he seems to be polite and judging from the fact that he stayed still until I gave him time to introduce himself he seems to have a good sense of humor.

If it’s level 5 one person will do their share.

Moreover the situation we are in is quite unfortunate….

“I will work hard to avoid any inconvenience! Ha Hans Caesar.”

“what…?”

When I blurted out the sound without realizing it the guy kindly revealed his name one more time.

“It’s Hans Caesar!”

Are you kidding?

***

I thought about it for a moment.

So what happened the last time I saw Hans?

I remembered it right away.

Hans J whom I met on Parune Island was a traitor.

and….

‘After meeting that guy I was sucked into the past.’

I spent half a year there and when I returned two years and six months had passed in my original time zone.

No where is that?

Not only was my colleagues scattered but I was also branded as an evil spirit.

“Hehe….”

As I let out a laugh Hans K tilted his head and asked.

“Hey… why are you doing that?”

There was no reason for me to answer by mixing up my words.

If you do that you will only get negative reviews.

“Erwen.”

“Say yes.”

“You said just the three of us was enough right?”

“I did.”

Yes that’s right.

“Useup….”

I was truly worried.

Even if you just say one word to turn everything over Erwen will cry out with all her might and tear Joe to pieces.

but….

‘If that were the case this news would have reached Raven.’

That fact bothers me.

After all Raven is a colleague who knows about my hatred of Hans. After hearing the detailed story suspicions toward me may increase.

‘Oh but then wouldn’t it just be okay if it doesn’t look like I kicked you out because of my name?’

When I think about it that’s true too.

Okay I decided.

“They are trash.”

“…yes?”

“I was saying that the presence of people like you will only hinder us.”

As cold words of contempt poured out of my mouth both of their expressions hardened.

It seems that neither Erwen nor I ever dreamed that I would say something like this.

“Haha… what do you mean? “Didn’t Mr. Schuitz just say a little while ago that it would be better if there were more people?”

Oh that’s right.

“I changed my mind.”

For Hans this is such a serious matter.

When we soon asked for those two to be left out or for us to be left out the man looked embarrassed.

but….

“This is absurd. “Do you feel like something has happened to you since you’re in the width of your skirt?”

“Okay we’ll go out. There is no reason for us to stay together while being treated with such humiliation. Instead please make it clear to the military that this is the cause not us.”

As if my words had really hurt their pride they realized that they were withdrawing and walked out of the barracks.

Phew this solves the problem—

“How dare you say something like that? Shall I follow you?”

“It’s okay don’t mix things up.”

“all right!”

Anyway as we were talking like that I saw Raven’s right-hand man Alex staring at me with disgust.

Oh by the way she must have heard Raven’s misunderstanding.

At first I thought he was okay but this incident made Seol look like a pathetic bastard who just trusted in the power of others.

“So what do you do now? “The group that should have been six people ended up being four people.”

“…I will first report to the vice-captain and then inform you of your treatment.”

“If that’s the case.”

Soon as Alex left to report the situation Erwen cautiously asked me a question.

“But why did you do that all of a sudden?”

“Isn’t that guy’s name earlier Hans?”

“…Why Hans?”

Oh he doesn’t know about my Hans Jinx?

Hmm now that I think about it I don’t think I remember telling you…

As I was about to say something Amelia laughed and opened her mouth instead of me.

“How could it be that you said you were this guy’s colleague and didn’t even know that?”

“…So you know?”

“I know.”

Amelia shrugged her shoulders and briefly explained the Hans Jinx I had.

In his case he knew the weight of that name because of an incident where he called me ‘Lee Hans’.

However I wonder if Erwen was upset that he was the only one who didn’t know about it.

“Hans….”

In a voice truly full of murder he clenched his fist as if he was pledging to chant that name.

“If you think about it Hans Aulok the traitor on Farune Island was also named Hans. sorry. “I will never forget this from now on.”

“Uh… that’s right.”

Hans ran into Hans like this and thought he might end up getting an arrow stuck between his eyes but he decided not to pay too much attention to it.

Well then it’s Hans anyway.

If you look for it you will definitely find something guilty.

‘The problem is that I’ve already met Hans…’

I quickly kicked him out of the group but he stayed in the same space with Hans K for too long.

The room was even poorly ventilated.

And considering that we are now in the middle of the battlefield on the 7th floor…

“Mister your hands are shaking…”

Oh I’m really going crazy.

***

What on earth is about to explode in the future?

There was a time when my hands were shaking and I couldn’t rest comfortably due to such anxiety.

“Your treatment has been decided.”

Alex came back and told us what to do about our Joe problem.

Nothing much has changed.

The group decided to just go with four people and he took on the role of leader which was the same as before.

but….

“From now on everyone… No we will not be doing external patrol or sentry duties but guarding key personnel.”

The group’s mission was changed to that of guarding Raven the vice-captain of the 3rd Magic Army.

Of course there was no problem up to this point.

Now that our leader Uncle Kyle has volunteered to join the 1st Corps’ special forces Raven can actually be said to be the most important person in our unit.

I guess the reason he called me as a security guard was just to keep me close by and keep an eye on me before something happens…

Yes there were no problems up to this point.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The sound of a magic cannon is heard from somewhere.

Bleep-! Bleep-! Bleep-!

If only the installed alarm magic hadn’t activated and rang throughout the garrison.

“It’s a surprise attack!!”

“Everyone ready for battle!!”

This happened less than two hours after I met Hans K.
