Chapter 366 – The Cotton Field
It’s not that you can’t feel the presence inside the guard barracks. It’s messy, but I felt a sense of life for a lung.
However, at a time like this, when the sun is in mid-heaven, no one approaches the village even when they enter the village, and even when they enter the guard’s building, they do not see the guards pecking their noses.
What happened? I couldn’t contain my curiosity.
As he approached the round table, he kicked a bottle of alcohol strewn about on the floor.
The bottle kicked by me rolled around, and he hit the bottles gathered in one place and knocked them over.
Like a strike at a bowling alley, the bottles spilled and made a commotion.
“Ummm, who is it?”
Perhaps because of the commotion, someone peeked out from the back hallway. He had a shaggy beard and a magpie house built on his head. In addition, the eyes were full of mucus, so anyone could see that he had just woken up.
The man whose eyes met my eyes stared at me, then noticed Natalia and Roin standing behind me and began to regain focus little by little.
“No this… Keuhum, these are the first girls I’ve ever seen…”
He rubbed the corners of her eyes with the back of his hand and began to hurriedly remove the mucus from her eyes.
“This is the security guard of Ajio Village. Pretty ladies, what do you need help with?”
The guy staring at Natalya and the old man was displeased, so he blocked it with his body.
“Are you in charge here?”
Maybe because I blocked my gaze, he looked at me with a somewhat displeased expression.
“Yes, but… Who? It’s a face you don’t see in the village.”
“This is the sheriff who came from Westway on the orders of the captain of the guard.”
He took out the sheriff’s plaque from his bosom and thrust it at him. His eyes, which were staring blankly at the nameplate I held out with his eyes wide open, slowly began to come alive.
“Boy, Sheriff? At the command of the chief of guards? What are you doing here…”
I could just answer, but I’m starting to get grumpy.
“The sun is in mid-heaven. What is this like? Even if bandits invade the village, I don’t think you’ll be able to resist.”
“This, this is… Since I was on the night shift…”
The absurd excuses offended me even more.
“Are you the only guard? There must be ten guards under you? Are those guys scarecrows? When I got to this village, no one came up to do a background check until I got to the guards barracks here.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Looking at the dried mud marks on the floor and your crotch, you haven’t even crawled out of the barracks today. Would that be enough?”
“That, that…”
“Don’t even think about lying.”
“Yes…”
At my threat, the Ten Commander gave him a small nod and shut his mouth. The behavior of these guys is serious negligence even to me.
And at the same time, I thought about why this guy’s appearance was so unpleasant and grumpy. And soon I realized why.
The fact that Westway’s guards are dispatched to Ajio Village to keep the public order is a story that this village is one of the lines of money that pays taxes to Westway.
If some force invades this village and the village becomes a mess, who will be responsible for it?
The dispatched guards did not do their job properly, so if you ask Trician with some force, you might be able to hold him accountable.
In other words, the negligence of these pups is a nuisance to Trisian. Trician is my woman, so the story of being a nuisance to my woman is also a nuisance to me.
It boils down to a terrifying story that these bastards are doing me a ton of trouble!
I, Han Seong-gi, am a man whose motto in life is to pay back tenfold for what happened to me before I lose my temper and someone harms me, even if it hasn’t happened yet.
But these bastards were harassing me in the shadows in a place that I couldn’t see!! Everything that hasn’t worked out these days must be because of these bastards!!
“Kreak… ! Yo forgive me… I can’t… !”
“Ha, Hansung?”
On the verge of losing control with her eyes rolling over, she was barely able to regain her senses at the words of Natalya from behind her.
“Captain? What are you doing?”
Behind the Ten Commander, the other members began to appear one by one. Some of them, seeing Natalya and the old woman behind me, curled their lips and whistled and flirted.
“Ow, look at how hot it is.”
“The villagers know how to treat you. Are they new prostitutes?”
“Huh!”
The ten captain’s complexion turned pure white at the mistaken words of several guardsmen. The guy hurriedly looked back at the crew.
“Hey, shut up, you bastards! These are the sheriffs sent from the city!”
“Bo, Sheriff?”
“Dispatch?”
At the words of the Ten Commander, it seemed that the guards were beginning to notice what was going on. But it’s already too late.
“Captain of the Ten.”
“Yes, yep!”
At my call, the leader of the ten turned around like a top and looked at me.
“5 minutes.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll give you five minutes, so dress up and come out! You bastards!!”
“Rain, Visaaaaang!!!!”
At my word, I heard the sound of the guards moving hurriedly, making a rough noise. I left the guys alone and got out of the guard barracks.
Natalya and Roin, who followed me, let out a small sigh at the sight of the guards.
“I’m incredibly pathetic.”
“I remembered the face of a prostitute for us.”
“I’ll make sure to fuck that bastard.”
After saying that, as she leaned against the barracks building, she recalled the ruse Tricker’s gang had played during a luncheon meeting not long ago.
The guards are conducting an investigation in cooperation with Arpagon regarding the appearance of Drake and dragons in the forest southwest of Arpagon.
And even though Tricker knew that Trician had no right to use the knights as he pleased, he shamed Trician for not dispatching knights there.
Perhaps, if a problem arises in Agio Village, he could catch the pod that way and hang on to Trician’s fault.
The story of yes becomes the story that setting fire to the cotton warehouse must be decorated with thorough thinking that the guards do not even have a chance to get involved.
“The fire at the cotton wool warehouse must be disguised as a perfect accident.”
“Why?”
Natalya, who might have heard my muttering, interjected, tilting her head.
“The security here is the responsibility of the guards. That said, it means that the guards didn’t do their job properly when there was trouble in this town. Then there is a possibility that the guys from Tricker’s side will insist that it’s Trisian’s fault, the head of the guard.”
“Then, there will be a problem with the operation that was originally planned to disrupt the administrative officer’s work.”
“Okay. There’s a chance they’ll slip away like mudfish, blaming Trissian. So we have to disguise it as a perfect accident so we can’t blame the guards.”
Come to think of it, Trisian handed me the sheriff’s card and told me not to get caught. There was a hidden meaning that worried about such things.
I’m glad I figured it out even now.
The ten captain jumped out in a hurry and stood at attention in the clearing in front of me, looking at me. He was gasping for how hastily he changed his clothes.
He was wearing a plain, plain Gambison, and his collar was stiff, and the wrinkles here and there that did not straighten suggest how long he had been tucked away in a corner.
Can’t forgive Those serpent-like bastards who were hiding in this remote corner of the country and were only looking for an opportunity to harm me!!
“Look at the wrinkles on your clothes. How long would it have been if I hadn’t worn it?”
“Sorry!”
“If I’m sorry, will my life as a guard be over?”
“No!”
“Is this outside or not? Are you out of your mind? Do you want to go back?”
“I will come to my senses!”
“Are you still awake? Are you really into it?”
Even in the midst of this craving, the guards jumped out one by one and stood horizontally behind the Ten Commander.
All the guards came out. Including the Captain of the Ten. Eleven in total.
Among them, I looked at the guy standing in the back corner. The bastard who called Natalya and Roin sluts.
It was a guy with a protruding cheekbones and protruding front teeth like a rabbit.
“Hey.”
“…”
Do you not think that you are calling yourself? Or are you pretending not to know?
The guy stood stiffly, staring at the back of the head of the person in front of him.
“Hey. Rabbit teeth.”
It was only when I pointed out my physical characteristics and called him that he glanced at me.
“Me, me?”
“Yo. This?”
Even the tone of a bastard I don’t like is fucking shit. You really fell behind
