I’ll Live My Second Life!

187 Who Do You Believe

Suddenly, the apprentice knights round their eyes to the village chief who sat down.

“Save me.”

“What the hell is wrong with you?

In the words, the village chief explained the circumstances of the village.

“Actually, this village has always been threatened by the bandits…”

For the village chief to talk, this is what happened.

For about a year now, about 20 armed bandits have appeared near this village. The bandits have come to the village and, instead of taking the lives of the villagers, have regularly threatened to give themselves the crops they could have taken in the village.

In the beginning it was a small amount, but more and more demanding quantities have become affecting even the food the villagers eat.

It seems that they will starve to death or be killed as they are.

“Why aren’t you telling the soldiers around?

Phee asked the village chief what was best.

“Our village is on the edge here, and somehow the streets are small, with very few taxes to collect. Soldiers in the fort here. Poor villages like ours don’t deal with us. The lookout came only once three months ago. That’s when I told you about the bandits, and you can’t do anything about it.”

The village chief leads to the apprentice knights, trembling in tears.

“I learned the other day that rumors had brought apprentice knights to the fort. The soldiers didn’t have to deal with it, but the apprentice knights thought maybe they’d listen to us. If you think it’s been a long time since a soldier has appeared in this village at that time, would you dress as an apprentice knight? I was desperately trying to pull it off, too.”

At the end of the day, he asked the apprentice knights to slip his forehead to the ground and give his head a full glance.

“It’s not a lie to welcome. But I’m sorry I hid the circumstances. Our little food left, but I wanted to give you the best welcome and talk to you about this. Please! Please save this village!

The apprentice knights, bewildered, face to face.

We were all confused by the sudden story.

In the meantime, Phee bent her knees and said face-to-face with the village chief.

“Give me your face. I know exactly what happened to the people in this village.”

“Wow, can you help us!?

The village chief gives his face with the look of finding hope.

Phee said to such a village chief.

“In the meantime, let me report back to the fort about the village. So if there’s no movement in the fort, we’ll go back to the king’s capital and hang it on the knight’s senior. It will take some time to take action, so follow the demands to avoid irritating the bandits as much as possible until then. I’ll also tell the nearest village what’s going on, so if you run out of food, rely on it. Then we shall return to the report. Let’s go.”

“What… ah… hey…”

That’s all he talks about, and Phee leaves the village once and for all.

Other apprentice knights followed Phee in confusion.

When I was in the village, Cognac yelled at Fee.

“Hey! Wait! You’re gonna leave the villagers alone!

“I won’t leave you alone. As we spoke properly, I will report to the people at the fort”

Phee said with a sober look.

“In the meantime, the people of this village are going to suffer! If there’s about 20 bandits, we can take them down alone! Don’t you think I’m going to help you right away!?

Fee replies to Cognac with a cold eye.

“The only thing the soldiers have instructed me to do is look around and report. It’s against orders to fight on our own.”

“It’s because it’s against orders! It’s the knight’s job to protect those in need!

“Even knights take care of orders from above. Besides, we’re still apprentices.”

So Phee separated the words and went a little lower.

“And that village chief, he’s suspicious. I felt like I was lying the whole time…”

“Lies…? Is there any basis for this?”

“It’s a mistake.”

Cognac laughed with his nose at the words.

“Huh, I don’t know what to talk about. You’re just suspicious because it’s so hard to help those people! You’re not such a knight! Believe in those who seek help. That’s the spirit a knight should have to protect people!

“Sometimes it takes suspicion. So Cognac can’t believe the soldiers who taught us so much?

At least Fee didn’t think that people like the troop leaders he’d spent time with would do what the village chief said.

“Gu…… So you suspect the villagers!? Even the soldiers in that fort don’t know everyone! Some guys are doing something suspicious! Who are you in the first place? I’m the leader! Not you!

“If Cognac would have acted as a proper leader, I wouldn’t have spoken.”

“This…”

So Cognac comes to mind.

That John gave me this map. And it was also John who carefully taught me the route.

(Maybe it’s intentional that Mr. John gave me this map? You think the soldiers’ seniors didn’t help those villagers, so they led us to help them? That’s right. I’m sure it is…! I have to protect those villagers… As a knight! That would also be in return for Mr. John)

“I… I will definitely stay in this village! And try to save the people of this village from the bandits! Because that’s what a knight deserves! What about you guys!

Cognac spoke to the rest of the knights, ignoring Phee, who insisted on returning stubbornly.

“Uh…”

The knights were bewildered for a moment, but say their opinions about the pounding.

“I think I should help too… maybe a bandit can do it to us too”

“That’s right. It’s strange to leave someone in need alone, because we’re people who want to be knights.”

“If you can help me, can I help you?

Several endorsed Cognac.

“Of course I believe in Heath!

“Me, too.”

“Oh, I don’t think it’s a good idea to disobey orders, either.”

“Yeah, no matter what you do, you better report to the fort first”

Members of the northern quarters fully agreed with Phee and several others agreed with Phee’s claim.

As a result, the apprentice knights were divided into two parts.

On Cognac’s side were members of the southern quarters, with the exception of Hyral. And it was half the west quarters.

It was everyone in the north quarters who took Phee’s side. The east quarters also followed Phee’s side. Then Hazel in the west quarters and one left.

10 to 11. Different apprenticeship knights of each other’s opinions ravage each other.

In that, Cognac declared.

“We’ll stay in this village. I’ve trained a lot of fights so far. I’m not like a bandit. We can save this village and show it to you.”

Plus the boys on Cognac’s side nod.

I wasn’t going to be able to convince you.

Fie closed her eyes just a little and exhaled to calm down, telling the Cognacs in a voice that was as emotional as possible.

“Okay. Then we’ll report back to the fort.”

The apprentice knights were to be divided into two hands.

Leaving the apprentice knights who claimed to stay in the village, the fies turn their heels and return to the path.

Cognac with a mean expression dropped it off with a glance.

After a while away, whisper, Phee says.

“Let’s get back to reporting as soon as possible. Before something weird happens.”

Plus the apprentice knights who followed Fee nodded.

Relying on the mountain path, the Fees return to the lookout route. I was traveling pretty early, though how to run.

That’s when Hyral, the only one in the south quarters who gave me about Fee, shrugged.

“Something’s coming from the other side”

That’s how Heiral turned his gaze in the direction of Phee’s path.

I’ll take a look, but I can’t see anything covered in trees. But Heiral’s face was a sure look.

“A bandit!?

Let’s hide.

Phee gave immediate instructions.

We all hide in the bush.

Eventually, I hear something more and more like a metal noise in the ears of the Fees. It must have also been this sound that Heiral noticed. Gradually that gets bigger.

The Fees lurked their breath and waited for it to come.

Eventually the sound became completely echoed in its ears, and its body appeared in front of the Fies. It takes a long time to pass about 10 meters ahead of the hidden bushes of the Fies.

The fies dropped it off in dismay.

When everything passes, one boy squeals with a faint voice.

“What the… that…”

Fey couldn’t even speak. My mouth was dry from tease.

Men wearing steel full body armor (full plate mails) and equipped with long swords.

Obviously not a bandit. With more trained movements than the soldiers in the fort, he walked down the road without disturbing the line.

The number is approximately 50 visually.

It’s definitely not about stealing things, it’s like starting a war now.

I don’t know why these things are in these woods.

It was the village where the cognacs were, however, that the men in their armor headed.

“Ya suck……! They’re gonna kill them…!

There’s no way you can win. That number, that gear, to the men who make those moves.

How much did you train as a knight?

“Let’s go back and help…”

Fee gave the instructions immediately, but her voice was shaking just as upset.

And the same stiff-faced boys nodded.
