Chapter 18 Battle of Fort Henning (1)
In June 736, the military power Nobar was located in a corner of a tavern in the city near the southernmost military fortress Herrenburg, where several young girls in various costumes gathered here.
"Hey, I said Noah, there is no need to drink a bar to celebrate!" A girl with red curly hair with freckles stared at a boy with short yellow hair full of beer in front of her.
"What's the matter? Adella. It's rare to celebrate!" Noah looked at the red-haired girl with a bit of drunkenness. The smell of wine from her mouth made her quickly cover her mouth and nose.
"But we just celebrated that Aye passed the junior mage assessment and held a simple party, not to let you drink too much!" Although the oldest Adela in the group was Noah, she looked at the black-haired boy in a daze.
"I said, sister, don't be so fierce! It won't be so bad if you let the leader indulge in an occasional way! Don't others say you want to "enjoy in time"? What's more, those who do our mercenary corpses may not have a meal after eating this meal!" The younger one-eyed boy Kai was holding food in both hands, and after saying that, he continued to swallow it.
Although Shirley, who was about his age next to him, was smiling, but because she had just joined the teenage mercenary group, there were still some unnatural aspects in all aspects.
Mercenaries, as long as you pay, will help you complete the tasks you assigned. They should generally be held by adults, but I don’t know when, as long as you are over twelve years old, you can become mercenaries.
These young mercenaries often accept low-level tasks that adults with relatively low-cost and less rewards often disdain to accept, just like the tasks that Shi Miya and his group of five are now taking.
They were entrusted by the generals of the neighboring fortress to send a secret order to Herrenburg. The five people rushed to the fortress city behind Herrenburg in the evening of the first day of the deadline. Because it was already dinner time and it was no problem to go to the office a little later, they had the leisure to give Shi Midnight a simple celebration party to pass the magic level test.
"Oh! I'm really convinced you!" Adella really had no choice but to do anything to both of them, and she couldn't say anything more, "But what should we do after this task is over?"
"What else can I do? Of course I'm going to take on the next mission! Alas! It would be great if I could take on a mission that could go to the battlefield. I haven't been able to use it after practicing swordsmanship for so long!" Noah complained with the alcohol.
"Little kid, do you want to go to the battlefield? How many more years will you have to practice! Haha..." After hearing this, the soldier at the next table raised his glass and greeted Noah in a slightly mocking tone.
After all, it is a fortress city and there is no war time for the time being, so it is not surprising that there are many soldiers who come out to relax.
"Bang!" Noah smashed the cup on the table: "Damn it! Why do everyone say that! OK, I'll let you see if I'm qualified to go to the battlefield!"
As he said that, Noah picked up the two swords placed by the table, but because he was drunk, he tried his best and pulled the sword in the wrong direction, and the sword never pulled out of the sheath.
This sight attracted more laughter from soldiers who came to the tavern to spend time. Noah's face became redder and redder. He simply stopped pulling his sword and was about to hit the soldier just now.
The other four friends were just thinking he was drunk and fucked wildly, but then they came to stop him. Shi Miye directly grabbed him from behind. Adela grabbed the sword and dragged Noah out of the store together. Shirley and Kai apologized to each other with embarrassment, and after paying the money, they hurried out to meet with the team members.
"What should I do now? If I go to the office now, the team leader is still drunk! It is not appropriate for us to go." Adela asked everyone's opinions.
"I think I'll just go like this. If the secret order is a very important content, if it is delivered one day later, it may add more trouble to others." Shi Miye expressed his objection.
It doesn't matter if the other two people come.
"Okay." So Adella threw Noah, who had fallen asleep, on the back of the only horse in the regiment, and walked towards the Herrenburg Fortress.
The city guards of Herrenburg warmly welcomed them. Seeing that it was getting late, they kept them resting overnight in the cold.
However, this night was destined to be uneasy.
At midnight, a rapid knock on the door pierced the silence of the room, making all five people noise. Adella complained with a strong sleepiness: "Who will affect our sleep at night!"
Even though he said so, he went to open the door. The person who came was a panting soldier in armor: "Children, the general wants me to inform you to escape quickly. The demons suddenly attacked us!"
"Oh?" The five people didn't react at once.
