Chapter 18: A New Mission



Seuk, Seuk!

Ivan sharpened the dull blade with a whetstone. Grease it, wipe it off, and reattach the handle.

He leaned over and looked at the blade, nodded and put it into his inventory. Then take out another piece of equipment and clean it.

Since Ivan had an inventory, he carried a lot of weapons, so there were a lot of things that had to be cleaned up after a battle.

In the game, you can use it freely and throw it away if it breaks, or if the durability is low, you can go to the blacksmith and leave it for repair, but in reality, that was not possible.

If you give them money, they won’t be able to repair it easily on the spot saying, ‘Voila, durability has been restored!’

I had to do the little things myself, such as wiping off blood and flesh from the weapon, sharpening a dull blade, and greasing it with oil. He wasn’t even a high-ranking knight who has a servant to do all the chores.

“Damn it, there’s no end to it.”

Axes and swords, like arrows and daggers, even leather armor. Things piled up like a mountain. To be honest, it was terribly annoying to do it alone.

Seuk!

Only the sound of Ivan sharpening the blade echoed through the dormitory. Everyone else is dead, so there was no one to notice. But, he can’t be happy with that thought.

Whoops!

After a few more days of equipment maintenance, he was finally able to straighten his back. After several days of squatting on the floor and bending over, his body became very stiff.

Until then, the dormitory had not been filled.

‘…Should I visit first?’

Upon deployment, the unit was shattered on its first mission. All the personnel involved in the mission died and only two survived.

There were members of the unit who did not participate in the mission, but they were being treated for injuries, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that the unit simply disappeared.

Kevin’s condition, which somehow returned together is not normal, he has been evacuated to the rear and so Ivan was here alone for several days.

The mercenary contract hasn’t ended yet, the command must not be so experienced to leave it like this.

Ivan, who was wondering if he would be wasting time while eating raw like this, decided to visit them himself.

Playing like this didn’t help Ivan much either. The level-up was not long ago before the experience was met.

“How long has it been since I leveled up in the dungeon, has it already been filled with this much experience?”

Ivan mumbled something like it was ridiculous, then shook his head.

However, as the main story progressed, the number of quests increased and the reward of experience was generous. Until now, no matter what he did, it didn’t go up at all.

He knew it was all about bait, leash, and feed, but Ivan had no choice but to follow. It was such a world. It’s a hell of a place.

“Ah, yes. I was going to call you anyway, it’s good that you are here now.”

When Ivan went to the officer, he said with a big smile.

When Ivan first arrived, it seemed like they were just treating him like that, but when they learned that Ivan’s skills were considerable through Kevin’s testimony, they suddenly seemed kind.

“I’m ready to fight. Give me a job.”

“Huh, you might want to take a break after a tough battle like that, after all you’re a Norse warrior. A brave warrior who doesn’t fear death.”

The operations officer nodded his head in admiration, but Ivan did not dare to correct his thoughts. Because from experience, it was a meaningless action.

“If it’s your skill, it’s better to put it in an important place rather than send it to a small battle. It’s about time now.”

That makes him nervous in its own way.

Ivan asked, narrowing his brow slightly.

“What’s going on?”

“The command has decided to give up the forest. If the tree spirit wanders around that much, there’s no way we can get in. We tried, but the results were disastrous.”

After Ivan returned from the forest, he was called back and forth to testify about it.

It is said that the shamans were spraying totems in the forest and feeding the trees with their main power, and that awakened the tree spirits.

After checking back and forth based on that testimony over the past few days, the command seems to have completely given up on entering the forest directly.

“This side is blocked, so we have to go through the other side. The other side is now fighting more intensely. You will be put in there.”

“As I said before, I won’t take a long-term contract. I have no intention of being held captive on the battlefield.”

“I know. We don’t plan on dragging on that long either. You have to hit it short and hard and finish it.”

Is that possible?

Ivan was frankly skeptical. Others might think it was just a temporary situation, but it wasn’t. Greenskins will grow bigger in the future and become a force that can perfectly oppose humans.

The camp battle divided between the alliance of blood and the alliance of trust was unavoidable. Because that was the future of this world Ivan saw. Even with some minor changes, it was not likely that the global trend would change.

“Go there and hear the exact details of the operation. Because I don’t know either.”

“I see.”

Ivan, who had received the new order, was about to go outside, when he heard the officer’s voice behind his back.

“Thank you. I heard you stayed alone in the back when the troop tried to escape?”

“I couldn’t stop the orcs who turned around and attacked them.”

“It can’t be helped. You can’t block all ten hands with one hand. But isn’t that why Kevin came back alive because of you?”

“I was late and everyone else died.”

“Everyone dies on the battlefield. You didn’t kill them, you saved them. At least one life.”
