MILE CHAPTER 252: FRONTIER CITY 2
ãAre you the hunters who received our request ...?ã(Captain)
Two days after ãRed Oathã received that request.
They came to the garrison of the Lord Army, which is also the gathering place.
And first of all, it was a greeting to the captain of the Lord Army.
The participating forces of this time were 55 people with a platoon of 40 soldiers and 15 hunters.
Yes, besides ãRed Oathã, there are two parties participating.
Actually, in the guild at that time, the receptionist had no choice but to process the request for ãRed Oathã
These two hunter parties didnât want to receive such a request.
But they also didnât want young female hunters from another country dead or get violated by the soldiers, idiots or not.
And thatâs why they went through the trouble to participate in this dangerous request.
ãSo, if anything happens, please rely on them.
Both of them are trustworthy partiesã(Receptionist)
When the receptionist told ãRed Oathã so, they felt like they have troubled other parties.
In the worst case, some hunters of other parties may die or get severely injured.
The girlsâ mood was lowed.
ãSince many people participated this time, I am saved.
Although some of you may feel disgusted, however, this mission is for the farmers.
Even the lord also knew the benefits of agricultural crops and livestock for the farmers.
Thatâs why I ask you to bear with it and finish this mission safe and sound!ã(Captain)
Surprisingly, the captain seems to be an understanding person.
Well, whether the Yakuza or the soldier, many people have common sense...
(T.N: let us count how long common sense-chan will last)
ããRed Oathã
We came from the Tyrus Kingdom.
And we are on a journey of learning.
Please take care of us from now on!ã(Rena)
After reporting to the captain, ãRed Oathã start greeting other parties as well.
From what the receptionist said, those hunters seem to be good people
So, we should properly greet them.
And for whatever reason, Rena was wearing a cat (ç«) outfit and warmly greeting the hunters.
Moreover, she did it with a smile.
Apparently, Rena seems to have learned a bit of ãserviceã
ãSmile and lip service are free after allã(Pauline)
However, it was spoiled by an unnecessary comment from Pauline...
ãIâm Wolff, leader of ãEvil Spirit Utopiaãparty
And this is Vegas, leader of ãFlameâs Friendshipãpartyã(Wolff)
As Wolff introduced, another man raised his right hand according to the part his name mentioned.
Rena also lightly lowered her head and responded to it.
ãWe are hunters and also monsterâs experts.
Therefore, thereâs no way we would be slower than the military.
So, if we donât work 2-3 times harder than them, we will lose our face as the hunters.
We, ãEvil Spirit Utopiaã and ãFlameâs Friendshipã will work 3 times harder.
As for you girls, you just need to work about 2 times harder.
They are only good at fighting human warfare, and they donât want to get hurt.
Thatâs why they will do it worse than some Average (on purpose) C-ranked hunters.
It will be an easy win.
Donât worry too much!ã(Wolff)
Both of the two parties are mature guys, from the early 30s to around 40s years old.
That was the age people care about young girls.
Perhaps because ãRed Oathã is only about the age of their daughter, so, they bothered to accept this request.
They should have families of themselves to protect and to think they bothered to receive a dangerous request for the sake of some strangers.
... They are idiots.
However, ãRed Oathã didnât say anything about that.
They didnât hate such idiots.
However, they thought they must not allow those nice idiots to get injured.
(ãFlameâs Friendshipã .... somehow, that name is like a flag to be beaten by monsters... I should pay attention to them...) (Mile)
And as usual, Mile was thinking something that no-one in this world can understand.
(Even so, Iâm somewhat worried about the naming reason for ãEvil spirit Utopiaã...) (Mile)
*************************************************
*************************************************
And one day later.
Itâs the decision date of ãPushing back the monsterã mission.
To tell the truth, the soldiers know the day when the neighboring country will chase the monsters to harass.
As the neighboring country also hire hunters for reinforcement, information comes around from there.
Information flows between the Hunter Guild branches, and the Lord of this city isnât stupid.
It seems that he hired someone, who belongs to the Hunter Guild Branch of the other place, to send information.
And 2 days after the other side starts chasing the monsters, the soldiers from this side will start the mission.
The soldiers need to work fast and deal with the monsters before they come out of the forest and attack the village...
ãWhy donât we start pushing the monster back at the border at the same time they chase monster to our side?ã(Mile)
The Captain answered to Mileâs question.
ãWe had done it before.
As a result, the monsters, that came from the neighboring country, were obstructed by our soldier and turned back.
It caused considerable damage to their Army Soldiers...
However, at the same time, when their Army soldiers had a greater number, the monsters would come to attack our side instead. And they caused considerable damage to our side.
Since then, both sides stopped simultaneous chasing monstersã(Captain)
Pauline said with a shaky voice as she heard that.
ãThen, they should stop harassing themselves...ã(Pauline)
The platoon captain shrugged his shoulders.
That was something should be said to the other side.
Certainly, it canât be helped from this side.
Then, the Captain gave out some notes and ordered the departing.
There were three notes:
1st: The first priority is your own safety.
Give priority to you and your friendsâ safety.
Stopping or repelling monster came after guaranteeing your safety.
2nd: Do not hunt or kill many animals and monsters that are the prey of the hunters as much as possible.
Focus mainly on dealing with Orcs and Goblins, which are dangerous to the villagers.
3rd: Never cross the borderline!
Side note: For hunters, thereâs no problem even if you cross the border for the monster hunting request.
But it will be bad for military soldiers to enter the other countryâs territory...
It may be seen (used) as a provocative act from the other side.
As expected of Mileâs group, they can understand that much (no need to tell)
And the team formation was divided into four.
Itâs the 4 squads of the platoon respectively.
The 1st squad goes with ãEvil spirit Utopiaãn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The 2nd squad goes with ãRed oathã
The 4th squad goes with ãFlameâs Friendshipã
The 3rd squad is the captain, adjutant, senior cadet.
It has the command function.
Since each squad consists of nine soldiers, total forces are 14, 13, 13, 15 in order from the first squad, totally 55 people.
Unlike a platoon or a squad of soldiers, who are friendly with each other and have great co-operation with after training and fighting together for a long time.
The co-operation of a soldier squad and a hunter party is bad.
Itâs also meaningless to let the hunters, who the Lord hired to reduce the damage of soldiers, to act independently.
Thatâs why the soldiers let the veteran hunter protect the front and back.
They arrange the squad having the command function in the center.
...It was a good formation.
When fighting, they will expand to the side and fight.
When moving, they will proceed with 2 columns tactic.
If they moved in 1 column, it will dangerous if they got ambushed.
During the move, ãRed Oathã was sandwiched between the soldiers of the 2nd squad and the Captain squad.
ã...Damn.
They are just some average young girls. We canât use them as our shield...ã(2nd squad soldier)
The soldier, who walked in front of the ãRed Oathã muttered so.
In front of ãRed Oathã, that is, at the end of the 2nd squad soldier.
Itâs obviously a non-commissioned-officer (NCO) serving as the captain of the second squad.
If it is the army of the earth, this will be serious troubles...
Basically, during battle, the hunters will fight as the command of each party leader.
If itâs the soldier, they will receive instructions from the small Captain, Deputy Captain, Senior Officer, and the captain of the squad to which you are assigned.
In the priority order, they are supposed to follow that instruction.
Of course, they wonât follow too unreasonable instructions.
ãFight and stop the enemy until you die to earn us timeã
Invalid because itâs outside the contract
ãHit the enemies on the right sideã, ãgo to reconnaissanceã
... Thatâs why the captain often used such formation, they could still legally ãguide the hunter in a direction of high riskã
And itâs not like they donât need to pay the fee when the hunter is dead.
The fee has already been deposited in the guild, and it will be paid to the surviving party member or bereaved.
Even if the hunter party is totally annihilated, the guild will pay the fee for the dead huntersâ family.
Therefore, even though they had bad relationships, the soldiers would rather have the hunters to stay alive and become their shield than trying something funny.
Even so, two parties ãEvil spirit Utopiaã and ãFlameâs Friendshipã worried about another danger and received this request.
Although, it doesnât seem to be the case for ãRed Oathã and those soldiers...
ãDamn.
On the contrary, we have to protect these girls instead.
They became nothing but luggage...ã(2nd squad NCO)
Apparently, the soldiers seem to worry and try to protect the girls instead.
ããããA hahaha...ãããã(Red Oath)
ãRed Oathã canât do anything but having a bitter smile...
