A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 59 (Part 1)
Clang!
As Kaiyan drew his weapon, the mercenaries who were about to attack the workers looked at him with surprise.
“Kaiyan. Well, maybe killing them is a bit…”
“Banson.”
“Uh…”
“Be ready.”
He didn’t draw his weapon to kill the workers. He drew it to face the impending danger.
Since his senses were resonating strongly, he intended to give his all from the beginning.
“What’s the matter?”
“Someone is coming.”
“What?”
Hmm…
The vibration grew stronger.
As Kaiyan turned his gaze to the right, where he felt the strong sensation, a group of riders approached quickly from the far side of the Louis Plains.
Those guys. The ones who pushed his senses to the limit.
“They are…?”
“They’re probably enemies. Associated with Jansen.”
If they arrived at the destination Jansen mentioned, and these guys appeared at the same time, anyone could tell they had a deep connection with Jansen.
Why did they orchestrate this and what do they want?
“We’ll find out when they arrive.”
“Oh no! Everyone, draw your weapons and gather the carriages in one place!”
“What’s happening, Banson?”
“Look over there! Strange guys are approaching! Hurry, move!”
Upon seeing Banson’s stiff expression and the newly arrived individuals, he quickly realized that the situation had taken an unexpected turn and gave rapid instructions.
Thanks to the mercenaries’ quick movements, they gathered the carriages in one place before the guys arrived, and everyone drew their weapons, aimed forward, and waited.
After a while, the unfamiliar guys on horseback arrived in front of the group.
“Whoa, haha, so you were waiting for us?”
“Five of them…”
There were five of them. Although it may seem insignificant, the power he felt through his senses was not to be underestimated. At least the guy in the front was on par with him, while the other four were slightly below.
“It’s disadvantageous to protect the mercenaries while fighting them…”
Although they were ahead in numbers, if they entered into actual combat, it was evident that, except for Kaiyan, the other nine mercenaries would be slaughtered in an instant.
However, it would be extremely disadvantageous to fight while protecting them.
At that moment, a man wearing black leather armor, who seemed to be more advanced than the others, stepped forward.
“Hmm? From seeing the broken carriage, I guess you’ve already confirmed that Jansen is not here, right? Hehe.”
“Who are you guys? Are you related to Jansen?”
“Are you the leader of the mercenary group that took this job?”
Without answering Banson’s question, the man countered with a question.
“Yes. Who are you? Why have you come here?”
“Ah, it’s troublesome. Because of you guys, we’re having a hard time. We could’ve peacefully gone to Gami-an.”
“What are you scheming?”
“Hehe, if you’re curious, I can tell you. You’re all going to die soon.”
Clang!
With those words, the guy drew his sword from his hip. His sword wasn’t an ordinary iron sword that regular mercenaries used. It was inferior to Kaiyan’s own sword, but it was made of steel, comparable to what a knight would use.
“These guys are knights.”
Kaiyan could tell just by looking at the sword. They were behaving so leisurely with only five of them for a reason.
Even if they were at a numerical advantage, if they were knights, they must have learned advanced swordsmanship. In other words, even if they didn’t use Aura, they were skilled enough to swiftly kill mercenaries. It would be strange if even a little injury wasn’t inflicted while fooling around with mercenaries.
“Banson, step back.”
“Uh… Ugh! Kaiyan.”
Kaiyan pulled the confused Banson back. If they were knights, the mercenaries who were useless as support wouldn’t be of any help. It was better to increase his chances of winning by fighting alone.
Holding the sword tightly, Kaiyan took a few steps forward, filling the spot Banson had vacated.
“You guys are obviously knights, so why are you doing this?”
“Oh! We’re knights, you say? Why do you think that… huh? Th-That sword! Who are you?”
The guy who was answering suddenly looked surprised when he saw Kaiyan’s sword, stepping back in horror.
“Sword? Ah! Maybe…”
His reaction was just like Mercenary Evaluator Kaes. He realized that Kaiyan’s sword was a noble’s sword.
In an instant, a brilliant idea came to Kaiyan’s mind.
“You see this sword and still don’t recognize me?”
Shaking the sword while speaking in the most arrogant manner possible, the guys’ eyes shook with unease.
“Are… Are you a noble?”
“Do you dare to call me ‘you’ after knowing that?”
“I apologize! I never expected to meet a noble in a place like this…”
“Oh, really? I think I should directly ask your master about this. Who is your master?”
“Well, um…”
The guy in the front seemed embarrassed and stammered, so the one at the back, with a firm expression, stepped forward.
“Before that, could you please tell us the name of your family?”
“Look at this guy.”
The guy at the front seemed troubled, stuttering, so the guy at the back with a stern expression stepped forward.
“Although we apologize, could you please inform us of your family name before that?”
“Look at this guy.”
Among the five, the one who stepped forward had the strongest aura.
He looked at Kaiyan suspiciously, as if doubting whether he was truly a noble.
Unfortunately for him, Kaiyan knew a noble very well. Moreover, he could freely sell him out.
“Cheniavin.”
“Yes?”
“Cheniavin.”
The Louis Plains and Gami-an belong to the Royal Kingdom.
Even if the guy’s master belongs to another kingdom, there is a high probability that it is one of the Royal Kingdoms.
According to the old knight, the Cheniavin family has a somewhat renowned name, so if that guy is truly a knight, there is a high chance he knows about the Cheniavin family.
“Ah, perhaps… the noble from the Cheniavin family…”
Fortunately, as Kaiyan suspected, the guy knew about the Cheniavin family.
However, he was still suspicious and used a small trick against Kaiyan. If Kaiyan hadn’t known Tarien’s name, he might have fallen for his trick.
“Yes, I’m Tarien. Tarien de Cheniavin.”
“Oh, it is truly an honor to meet you! I am Raison Grandel!”
When Kaiyan mentioned Tarien’s name, the guy finally dropped his suspicious gaze and respectfully bowed his head.
