Cardboard Houses Do Not Tear

chapter 26



26 – Guild Escort 1

My first meeting with the Lepian Merchant went well.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

And hello, hello, hello.

The unusual thing is that six adventurers are included.

Level? I didn’t know, I didn’t know, I didn’t know.

They were very wary friends.

How many hours did it go like that?

The sound of the hooves was like a metronome.

The watch was on the prianian squad leader, but it was a bit like asking.

That’s why I looked up at the sky.

The top was said to go down due south. The sun was still up to our left.

Looks like it’s still a long way from noon.

“So, that’s what I was talking about when I went down south.”

The adventurer next to me, wearing a straw hat, was still talking to the prianian squad leader.

Something that was gibberish but dynamic in one movement seemed to be trying to get her attention somehow.

“What did you say? Did you say King Tiger? He was one of the scariest lions I’ve ever seen in the Colosseum. Hmm.”

I don’t have a hobby of judging the appearance of a boy, so I won’t say anything, but it was a pity to see him not being able to talk.

Poor fellow.

But he was a pretty decent adventurer.

Because right now, even at this moment, we are on an adventure that tests the patience of the leader of the Priyanian squad.

“I see.”

Unlike usual, the squad leader only gives answers in a cold voice, but he is watching while looking at him.

“By the way, the guy over there wearing a Gambison and a helmet.”

Another adventurer talked to me as if he was bored. Like the man you see when you go to the bathroom, he had an impressive hairy look with a full belly.

“You mean me?”

“Yes, there.”

I deliberately answered with a bold tone. He nodded his head as if he was quite good at Nucksal.

“What’s your name? Is keeping your mouth shut the selling point?”

I heard the Straw Hats giggle.

“G-House.”

“What?”

“Let’s call it G-House.”

I asked for a handshake.

The guy grinned and grabbed it, then put strength into his hand. It seems to be a report of its own.

Because he handles a fairly large axe, his grip was good.

I didn’t give it more power. ‘Cause I’m not here to fight

“You have good grip.”

The guy’s eyes flashed in an instant. Then came a rather surprised voice.

“That way too.”

After shaking hands, I introduced myself again.

“You know our name. It’s a basement house.”

The guy introduced himself with a pretty good laugh.

“Silver level adventurer, call me Blander.”

“Looking at the ax you’re holding next to you, it looks like it’s better at splitting heads than firewood. I will leave it up to you.”

A compliment is better than a cold beer. The boy’s face changed considerably.

“Hey, Perun! Is this guy pretty good?”

Because of his smile, he even gave me the name of the slightly drawn blond guy next to me.

A hairy blender with an axe.

The youngster holding the esterk next to him is Perun.

The straw hat next to me wearing only an arming sword is Sten.

The other three were in another carriage.

I got some information, so I tilted my head back and closed my eyes.

Then the sound of horses hooves licked through my head clearly.

Tag-tak. Click. Click. Click.

‘f*ck, I wish I had a book. Click.’

I opened my eyes again. Click.

The prianian squad leader’s eyes were completely open.

Just looking at the distant horizon with the crossbow between his legs, I could only sense one.

-I shouldn’t have accepted it.

To the extent that I could sympathize for a moment, only boredom flowed steadily from her eyes.

“Ah! You didn’t tell me that. The Café Mocha we ate at Colchen down there. Truly, that. What did he say?”

Seriously, tying grass on the hill was more rewarding.

As the memory of the first corps escort in my life changed horribly, I lost my mind.

“…Mr. G-House, Mr. G-House.”

“Yes?”

I heard the prianian squad leader shaking me awake.

“He said he’s taking a break.”

f*ck with

. How f*cked up the nightmare must have felt like a fairy.

Pressing her eyes slightly with her gloved hand, she stood up on the bandaged Selendian.

I thought I was driving the carriage for quite some time even when I was dozing.

“Are you okay, Mr. Ghouse?”

“I’m not okay, but the prianian squad leader isn’t okay?”

She nodded her head.

“Of course.”

It was a bonus to add a word.

“What was that? The one with the straw hat.”

“Are you talking about Sten?”

When he heard his name, the prianian squad leader got sick of it.

“Your memory is fine. Anyway, that guy named Sten is too loud.”

“I couldn’t stand it either.”

“I’m going to move the wagon next time.”

“Are you okay?”

“If we say that women sit together, they will agree. My weapon is also a crossbow.”

The adventurers were composed of 4 males and 2 females.

I thought it was considerate to seat people from the same affiliation, so I sat them like this, but this wasn’t real.

If the Freecan squad leader and stain have dropped their chicks, her carriage would be quiet about 70 %, and she couldn’t go there alone.

At least, since the leader of the Priyanian squad had command of the guards, his position could be easily moved.

“Yes.”

I nodded.

“Then the other one will come this way. You know-“

At that time, there was a commotion in front of me.

I heard an inhuman roar, and Blender hurried this way, knocking on the wagon and calling us.

“Hey!”

After barely uttering that one word, the guy kept pointing his finger at the front with his head bent at 90 degrees.

I asked him out of breath.

“A monster?”

“Heo Eok, Heo Eok…”

“Thumb if yes, index finger if not.”

His thumb was raised.

Great.

“Squad leader, get ready.”

I got off the carriage and walked forward. Of course, he prepared to untie the bandages wrapped around Selendian.

And I was shocked.

“…What kind of champi?”

“Keruk!”

At the head of the procession, there was something literally green.

It was the first goblin I had ever seen.

Not even a knight, just a goblin without a modifier like a slayer.

But there are so many of them.

“Kerruk!”

“Catch!”

A certain flow was seen in the appearance of running away while shouting.

More than five;

A weapon made similar to a spear.

I didn’t have a bow, but there was one guy who used catapult instead. Is it a concept like a designated shooter?

As I removed the bandages, I watched how the adventurers dealt with them.

I don’t know why, but if you act recklessly and even get a stone in your eye, you’re just screwed.

The movements of the adventurers were fine.

f*ck! A scream rang out along with a scream.

Two men holding shortbows each hit the limbs of the catapults.

One friend said that the accuracy rate was a bit low, it seemed to be the secondary armament.

I remembered the dagger hanging from her waist.

While the ranged attack was sealed, Sten rushed in quickly and decapitated the other two.

And Perun, holding an estoc held with both hands, calmly poked between the foreheads and penetrated two or three at the same time.

His movement was pretty good.

‘Perun can use mana.’

I remembered one piece of information.

And the goblins seemed more capable than I thought.

After coming to that conclusion, I unwrapped the bandage on the handle and pulled out the sword.

A silver light was reflected on the elongated blade.

A bandage was still wrapped around the scabbard to prevent any misunderstanding.

Because of that, I couldn’t hang it on my waist, so I put the scabbard next to the wagon.

The scabbard is quite high-quality, so if you throw it anywhere and someone steps on it, you’ll be f*cked by Hwaran.

“Commander Priyanian. Please start with those who throw stones.”

After saying that, I slowly approached them.

Their weapons were stones.

Looking at the primitive people using small stone tools that were used for early access, they have their own intelligence.

The fighting style of a group of 5 is not an order in the midst of absolute disorder.

For some reason, their stern faces evoked strange feelings in me.

I dare say.

It was an abusive desire.

“Kerreuk!!”

“Keraak!”

A crude spear pierced with a less crude skill.

The field of vision narrowed, and the ‘perception’ informed the space that was covered that much.

One sword in hand,

There are three stabbing spears,

The direction is left back, front, right.

Individual thigh, lung, right arm,

I don’t know their strength.

There was no option to catch the spear coming from the front.

That’s why.

“Keeck!”

Humbly lowered his stance, and lunged with only his arms extended forward to receive the forward charge.

The combined length of the bastard sword and the 186 cm tall arm was longer than the spear held by the small man.

First.

The guy’s throat was pierced.

The death of the guy who came up to one-third from the point of the knife led to the groundbreaking conclusion that even if Mr. Newton was born here, he would have discovered the laws of motion.

But there was no time to rejoice. As I released the lunge again, I kicked the corpse.

I don’t know if the word for the corpse is correct, but the durability of goblins was weak.

“Kieek!!”

The distance of the guys running from the two directions was roughly the same, but the one on the right was closer.

One step to the right, then turned half a turn.

The sharp stone blade piercing the air was one step shorter and half a beat slower.

And the cost was a neck that disappeared obliquely.

Second.

“Ke, Keruaak!!”

The last one of the three who ran first kept running.

The reason was simple.

“Keruk!”

Because another squad of goblins was running behind me.

The ingenious intelligence that understood the concept of a group overcame fear.

But nothing has changed.

The bastard sword, which had maintained its elasticity even after cutting the second one, slashed the idiot’s neck.

Third.

Only the sound of the throat falling was the quiet sound that made the grass red.

And then there was a thump next to me, followed by a gurgling scream.

I just turned my head and saw that a bolt was stuck in the head of a guy holding a stone.

“Keruk!”

“Kerruk!”

With a shout, the spear blades were rushing in a line in their own way.

“Yeah. The f*cking formation uses unreasonable things.”

I got into my stance and rushed at it.

“I do not forgive insects that disturb my rest!!!”

“Kerreuk!!”

―Quad Deuk!

“Kerak?!”

They were horrified when they saw four spearheads broken at once.

One of the reasons to use a two-hander when charging is to cut through the windows of a scrum.

And Selendian, with a blade length of nearly 90cm, successfully played the role of a willing two-hander in penetrating the goblin formations.

They lost their fighting spirit.

Every time they took a step back, I gladly took one step closer.

“…Do you know what happiness is?”

“Ke… Keruk.”

“Compensate in full.”

And soon, the sword blade reflected red-green.

The first goblin attack in my life was over in a fairly short amount of time.
