A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 64 (Part 2)

But as he grew as a player, he naturally came to realize that nobles and knights were just like everyone else, ordinary beings who make mistakes.

Nobles were only living the way they did because they were born into prestigious households, not because they were superior.

Of course, Kaiyan knows that not all nobles are like that. There are nobles like the commander-in-chief of the Holy Crown or the frontline commanders who risk their lives.

But what’s certain is that most nobles, similar to Tarien and Jansen, are like that.

“Tarien-nim?”

Lost in thought for a moment, Kaiyan was called by Gain Harman, who seemed to have something to say.

“What is it?”

“Ah, because Sir Jansen wanted me to tell you… He hopes you will attend a meeting that will take place a few months from now.”

“A meeting? I haven’t heard of it.”

“Allow me to explain… Other noble progenies who have been with Sir Jansen in the past have decided to gather secretly this time. They want you to attend the meeting.”

‘I see.’

That explains it. It’s natural that he proposed the idea so nonchalantly because such things happened often.

And now, those guys are gathering in one place. They are probably all successors vying for power.

“Alright, let’s do that then. Where is the meeting?”

“You’ve thought well! If you attend, Sir Jansen will be very pleased!”

There’s no harm in making Jansen feel a little better with just a few words.

I have the heart to do that, especially after receiving 1000 gold for free.

“Here’s the meeting place and time written down!”

Gain Harman pulled out a small piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me.

‘It’s soft.’

Velvety material. Very expensive paper that I had only heard about.

Kaiyan knew that this small piece of paper alone would be worth about 10 gold. Judging from that, he could imagine how much Jansen was looking forward to this meeting.

‘Max said it. Life is a winding road where you can’t see the end.’

But Jansen believed he was walking a successful path, unaware that the road led to a cliff.

“Well then, we’ll take our leave!”

“Be careful on your way, Gain.”

After handing over the 1000 gold and the small piece of paper, Gain Harman and the knights left before sunset, still unaware that Kaiyan wasn’t Tarien.

“Kaiyan! Why did you come so late? We were worried.”

“Yeah, man! If you were a little later, we would’ve gone in before the knights!”

As the knights left, the mercenaries, who were sitting in a corner keeping an eye out, rushed over.

“Banson, Bisel, and everyone else calm down! I was a bit late because there’s something I needed to check inside.”

Kaiyan couldn’t tell them about the Lich inside Babelin Castle. If he did, they would undoubtedly make a fuss and alert the Church. If the Church started an investigation, it could lead to his involvement in getting rid of the Lich.

“Phew… Still, I’m glad it worked out well. Things were easier than expected.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I never thought it would be resolved so easily.”

“By the way, Kaiyan, what’s that on your shoulder?”

Banson pointed at Reika, who was resting on Kaiyan’s shoulder and asked.

“Oh, actually, this is my hometown. It’s a cat I used to raise, and I happened to meet it again here.”

“Really? That little thing looks adorable! Oh! Kaiyan, what are your plans from now on?”

“Um….”

Kaiyan’s plans for the future.

He had only thought about going back to his hometown, but until now, he hadn’t given much thought to anything else.

“First, I’ll give you the promised 200 gold.”

“Really? Are you really giving us 200 gold?”

Upon hearing Kaiyan’s promise to give them the 200 gold, Bisel gasped with surprise.

“It’s a promise, after all. And… as you all know, you must never return to Blatan. No, not just Blatan, you should not operate in the Kingdom either… I’m truly sorry about this.”

Once it’s revealed that Kaiyan is not Tarien, Jansen will undoubtedly send a pursuit team. The problem is that even though they won’t bother Kaiyan, they might attach a pursuit team to Banson’s mercenary group.

To secure some safety from the pursuit team, they would need to cross over to a different kingdom, excluding the Kingdom.

“Well, we already know that. Kaiyan, don’t apologize to us. If it weren’t for you, we would’ve died right there.”

“Banson…”

“Yeah, Kaiyan, don’t apologize. And as for the 200 gold, we’ll earn it someday. Haha!”

After Banson, even Bisel. And though they didn’t say it, the mercenaries behind them looked at Kaiyan with expressions that said it was okay.

Kaiyan felt strangely emotional.

He didn’t expect to meet such good people again, except for Mr. Jeff and Mr. Max. No, until he met Bisel, he hadn’t expected such connections.

“So, Kaiyan, what are you going to do? How about coming with us if you don’t have a plan?”

“That… it’s tempting, but…”

Kaiyan briefly imagined being with them.

The cheerful Banson Mercenary Group. If he were with them, the journey would undoubtedly be fun. But…

“It will delay achieving my goal.”

Moreover, he won’t feel lonely anymore now that he has a friend like Reika.

To fill in the lacking skills Reika mentioned, being with them is not the way to go.

“It’s a shame, but let’s part ways here. I have something to do.”

“Yeah? Well, it’s too bad. Kaiyan, I thought you’d make a good comrade.”

Banson said with a voice full of regret.

But even if it’s for their sake, they shouldn’t be together. Not just for his growth, but also because Jansen will undoubtedly send a pursuit team after him. It doesn’t matter if they come after him, but attaching a pursuit team to Banson’s mercenary group is also a possibility.

“When the opportunity comes, let’s meet again. I won’t forget the Banson Mercenary Group.”

“Yeah, if you have something to do, there’s nothing we can do about it. But Kaiyan, if you ever come over to the Marianne Empire, look for us. We’ll help you as much as we can!”

Banson’s words made Kaiyan feel secure.

Not because they are strong, but because someone is thinking of him.

Mr. Jeff, Mr. Max, and now the Banson Mercenary Group.

“I’ll get stronger.”

Kaiyan’s desire for growth, which had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly surged up.

Revenge for his family,

Revenge for the villagers.

And to protect those dear to him, he will grow strong enough.
